[0002] There are two main methods for switching heating curves in existing aerosol generating devices. One is to set an external mechanical button and use software to make different button combinations to switch the heating curve of the heating element; the other is to switch the set heating curve of the heating element through screen touch or mobile phone Bluetooth to achieve the purpose of switching power.

[0003] Among existing products, the installation of external mechanical buttons requires opening a window on the surface of the device, which compromises the integrity of the housing. This creates high design requirements and makes waterproofing difficult. This increases the complexity of both exterior and structural design, impacting overall device design. Touchscreen controls are expensive, consume a lot of power, and suffer from a high false trigger rate, resulting in poor safety and reliability. Mobile phone Bluetooth requires an additional Bluetooth module, which is costly and bulky, making it difficult to place within the aerosol generating device.

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] See Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the connection between the aerosol generating device and the aerosol generating article provided in the present application.

[0025] The aerosol-generating device 100 is used to heat and atomize an aerosol-generating article 200, for example, a solid substrate of plant leaves having a specific aroma or substance. The aerosol-generating device 100 heats the solid substrate of plant leaves having a specific aroma in a heat-without-combustion manner, thereby forming an aerosol for inhalation by the user. The aerosol-generating device 100 of the present application can be used in various fields, such as medical treatment, cosmetic treatments, or recreational use.

[0026] Specifically, the aerosol-generating device 100 includes a housing 10, a sensing unit 20, a control unit 30, and a heating assembly 40. Specifically, the housing 10 defines a receiving chamber 101 for accommodating an aerosol-generating article 200. The sensing unit 20 is disposed at the bottom of the receiving chamber 101 and is insulated from the heating assembly 40. When the aerosol-generating article 200 is inserted into the receiving chamber 101 and presses against the sensing unit 20, it outputs a sensing signal. The control unit 30 is disposed within the housing 10 and electrically connected to the sensing unit 20. The control unit 30 is configured to determine a heating curve for heating the aerosol-generating article 200 based on the sensing signal and control the heating assembly 40 to heat the aerosol-generating article 200 based on the determined heating curve.

[0027] The accommodating cavity 101 may be defined by the housing 10 of the aerosol generating device 100. The accommodating cavity 101 may also be defined by the heating component 40 (e.g., Figure 1 shown).

[0028] In one embodiment, the heating assembly 40 heats the aerosol-generating article 200 using circumferential resistance heating, electromagnetic heating, or infrared heating. Specifically, the heating assembly 40 includes a hollow cylinder that defines a receiving cavity 101. The cross-section of the hollow cylinder can be circular, elliptical, square, diamond-shaped, or other shapes, which are not limited by the present invention. For example, the heating assembly 40 includes a metal hollow cylinder and an electromagnetic coil disposed around the circumference of the metal hollow cylinder. The electromagnetic coil is configured to provide a varying electromagnetic field to the metal hollow cylinder when energized, thereby heating the aerosol-generating article 200 through electromagnetic induction heating of the metal hollow cylinder.

[0029] In another embodiment, the housing 10 of the aerosol generating device 100 defines a accommodating cavity 101, and the aerosol generating device 100 further includes a mounting base and a heating component 40 fixed to the mounting base. The heating component 40 is a central needle type or a sheet type, which is used to be inserted into the aerosol generating article 200 to heat the aerosol generating article 200 by resistive heating, electromagnetic heating, or infrared heating.

[0030] The aerosol generating device 100 includes a battery cell 50 , which is disposed in the housing 10 and electrically connected to the control unit 30 . The control unit is used to control the battery cell 50 to supply power to the heating component 40 .

[0031] In one embodiment, the sensing signal is generated based on the pressure exerted by the aerosol-generating article 200 against the sensing unit 20. For example, the sensing unit 20 comprises a thin-film resistance strain gauge. The principle of a thin-film resistance strain gauge is that when subjected to varying degrees of force, the gauge exhibits varying resistance values. This characteristic allows the control unit 30 to detect this change and make a corresponding determination. Specifically, when the aerosol-generating article 200 is inserted into the accommodating chamber 101 and presses the sensing unit 20 disposed at the bottom of the accommodating chamber 101, the sensing unit 20 deforms to varying degrees based on the varying pressures, generating sensing signals corresponding to varying values. Since the sensing unit 20 is a thin-film resistance strain gauge, the sensing signal generated is a resistance change signal. The control unit 30 obtains the resistance change signal from the thin-film resistance strain gauge to determine the amount of change in the resistance change signal. Based on the amount of change in the resistance change signal, the control unit 30 determines different heating curves in response to the varying values of the resistance change signal. Based on the determined heating curves, the heating assembly 40 is controlled to heat the aerosol-generating article 200.

[0032] Specifically, when the aerosol-generating article 200 is not inserted into the accommodating chamber 101, the initial resistance value R0 of the thin-film resistance strain gauge is infinite. For example, when the aerosol-generating article 200 is inserted and the thin-film resistance strain gauge is squeezed with a first pressure, the resistance value of the thin-film resistance strain gauge changes. After the control unit 30 collects a first resistance change signal, it determines a first heating curve based on the change in the first resistance change signal and controls the heating assembly 40 to heat the aerosol-generating article 200 based on the first heating curve. When the aerosol-generating article 200 is squeezed with a second pressure, the control unit 30 collects a second resistance change signal, determines a second heating curve based on the change in the second resistance change signal and controls the heating assembly 40 to heat the aerosol-generating article 200 based on the second heating curve. When the aerosol-generating article 200 is squeezed with a third pressure, the control unit 30 collects a third resistance change signal, determines a third heating curve based on the change in the third resistance change signal and controls the heating assembly 40 to heat the aerosol-generating article 200 based on the third heating curve.

[0033] The change values of the first resistance change signal, the second resistance change signal, and the third resistance change signal are different, and the first, second, and third heating curves correspond to different powers. For example, the power of the first heating curve corresponding to the change value of the first resistance change signal is for low-temperature baking of the aerosol-generating article 200; the power of the second heating curve corresponding to the change value of the second resistance change signal is for high-temperature baking of the aerosol-generating article 200; and the power of the third heating curve corresponding to the change value of the third resistance change signal is for rapid mist generation from the aerosol-generating article 200. The specific settings can be made according to actual needs and are not limited here.

[0034] Of course, the thin film resistance strain gauge can also be squeezed with a fourth pressure, a fifth pressure, ..., or an nth pressure to obtain the change in the fourth resistance change signal, the change in the fifth resistance change signal, ..., or the change in the nth resistance change signal, so as to determine the corresponding fourth heating curve, fifth heating curve, ..., or nth heating curve to control the heating component 40 to heat the aerosol generating product 200. This is not limited here and the specific setting is made according to actual needs.

[0035] It should be noted that because different users apply different pressures to the aerosol-generating article 200, the change in the sensing signal generated by the sensing unit 20 when the aerosol-generating article 200 compresses the sensing unit 20 corresponding to the same heating curve also varies. Therefore, the change in the first resistance change signal, the change in the second resistance change signal, and the change in the third resistance change signal are set to a range value. The range can be set within 1-4Ω.

[0036] Of course, the sensing unit 20 can also sense the pressure exerted by the aerosol-generating article 200 against the sensing unit 20 using strain gauge capacitive proximity detection or strain gauge inductive proximity detection, without limitation. Specifically, based on different detection methods, the sensing signal is at least one of a resistance change signal, a capacitance change signal, and an inductance change signal generated by the sensing unit 20.

[0037] In one embodiment, the change in the sensing signal is proportional to the pressure exerted by the aerosol-generating article 200 against the sensing unit 20. That is, the greater the pressure exerted by the aerosol-generating article 200 against the sensing unit 20, the greater the change in the sensing signal generated by the sensing unit 20; and the smaller the pressure exerted by the aerosol-generating article 200 against the sensing unit 20, the smaller the change in the sensing signal generated by the sensing unit 20. The specific change depends on the type of sensing unit 20.

[0038] In one embodiment, the power corresponding to different heating curves is proportional to the change in the sensing signal. That is, the greater the change in the sensing signal, the greater the power corresponding to the selected heating curve. In another embodiment, the power corresponding to the heating curve is inversely proportional to the change in the sensing signal. That is, the greater the change in the sensing signal, the smaller the power corresponding to the selected heating curve. The specific selection can be made based on actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0039] In another embodiment, the control unit 30 further includes a counting unit, which counts the number of times the sensing unit 20 generates a sensing signal within a preset time, that is, counts the number of times the aerosol generating article 200 squeezes the sensing unit 20 within the preset time, determines different heating curves according to the number of times the aerosol generating article 200 squeezes the sensing unit 20 within the preset time, and controls the heating component 40 to heat the aerosol generating article 200 based on the determined heating curve.

[0040] For example, the sensing unit 20 includes a thin-film resistance strain gauge. When the aerosol-generating article 200 is inserted into the accommodating chamber 101 and compresses the thin-film resistance strain gauge, the resistance value of the thin-film resistance strain gauge changes, thereby generating a sensing signal. Based on this characteristic, if the control unit 30 detects multiple changes in the resistance value of the aerosol-generating thin-film resistance strain gauge within a preset time period, such as 3 seconds or 5 seconds, the control unit 30 counts the number of resistance changes, that is, the number of times the aerosol-generating article 200 compresses the sensing unit 20. For example, if the control unit 30 counts one change in the resistance value within a preset time, it determines a first heating curve and controls the heating assembly 40 to heat the aerosol-generating article 200 based on the first heating curve. If the control unit 30 counts two changes in the resistance value within a preset time, it determines a second heating curve and controls the heating assembly 40 to heat the aerosol-generating article 200 based on the second heating curve. If the control unit 30 counts three changes in the resistance value within a preset time, it determines a third heating curve and controls the heating assembly 40 to heat the aerosol-generating article 200 based on the third heating curve. The first, second, and third heating curves correspond to different powers.

[0041] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of times the aerosol generating product 200 squeezes the sensing unit within the preset time may be 4 times, 5 times, ..., n times or even more times, and the corresponding heating curve may be the fourth heating curve, the fifth heating curve, ..., the nth heating curve to control the heating component 40 to heat the aerosol generating product 200. This is not limited here and is set according to actual needs.

[0042] In one embodiment, the number of times the aerosol-generating article 200 presses the sensing unit 20 within a preset time is proportional to the power. That is, the more times the aerosol-generating article 200 presses the sensing unit 20, the greater the power corresponding to the heating curve. In another embodiment, the number of times the aerosol-generating article 200 presses the sensing unit 20 within a preset time is inversely proportional to the power. That is, the more times the aerosol-generating article 200 presses the sensing unit 20, the lower the power corresponding to the heating curve. The specific setting depends on actual needs and is not limited here.

[0043] Furthermore, the aerosol generating device 100 also includes a storage unit (not shown), which stores multiple heating curves. When designing a product, the product designer can calculate the corresponding heating curve through a predetermined calculation scheme. Different heating curves correspond to different heating powers, and the calculated heating curve is stored in the storage unit. Furthermore, the correspondence between the pressure (number of times), the change in the sensing signal and the heating curve can be designed, and the corresponding relationship can be stored in the storage unit. When the control unit 30 obtains the sensing signal, a corresponding heating curve is determined based on the change in the sensing signal and the stored corresponding relationship, and then the heating component 40 is controlled to heat the aerosol generating product 200.

[0044] Furthermore, the aerosol generating device 100 also includes a feedback unit (not shown), which is electrically connected to the control unit 30. The control unit 30 controls the feedback unit to send a feedback signal based on the determined heating curve; the feedback signal includes at least one of a sound signal, a light signal, and a vibration signal. Specifically, the feedback unit can be set as a microphone unit, in which case the feedback signal sent is a sound signal, for example, different sounds indicate different heating curves; the feedback unit can be set as an LED light, in which case the feedback signal sent is a light signal, for example, light signals of different colors, or light signals of different flashing frequencies indicate different heating curves; the feedback unit can be set as a vibration sensor, in which case the feedback signal sent is a vibration signal, for example, vibration signals of different vibration frequencies indicate different heating curves.

[0045] Different from the prior art, the aerosol generating device 100 provided in the present application includes a accommodating chamber 101, a sensing unit 20 and a control unit 30. The accommodating chamber 101 is used to accommodate the aerosol generating product 200; the sensing unit 20 is arranged at the bottom of the accommodating chamber 101, and is used to generate a sensing signal when the aerosol generating product 200 is inserted into the accommodating chamber 101 and the sensing unit 20 is squeezed; compared with the existing external mechanical buttons, it can reduce the difficulty of the appearance design and structural design of the aerosol generating device 100, improve the waterproof ability of the device, and compared with the existing screen touch and Bluetooth control, it reduces the cost of the aerosol generating product 200 and the power consumption of the device, can increase the battery life of the whole machine, and has the ability to prevent accidental touch. In addition, the control unit 30 is electrically connected to the sensing unit 20. The control unit 30 is used to determine the heating curve of the heated aerosol-generating product 200 based on the sensing signal, and heat the aerosol-generating product 200 based on the determined heating curve. The operation is simple and does not require cumbersome pressing of buttons or other operations such as touching the screen, thereby improving the user experience.

[0046] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of an embodiment of the heating method provided in this application, which specifically includes:

[0047] Step S1: Acquire the sensing signal generated by the sensing unit.

[0048] Specifically, when the aerosol-generating article is inserted into the bottom of the accommodating chamber and compresses the sensing unit, the sensing unit generates a sensing signal. For example, the sensing unit includes a thin-film resistance strain gauge. When the aerosol-generating article is inserted into the bottom of the accommodating chamber and compresses the thin-film resistance strain gauge, the resistance of the thin-film resistance strain gauge changes, thereby generating the sensing signal.

[0049] Step S2: determining a heating curve for heating the aerosol-generating article based on the sensing signal, and heating the aerosol-generating article based on the determined heating curve.

[0050] Specifically, in response to the aerosol generating article squeezing the sensing unit with different pressures, the sensing unit outputs sensing signals corresponding to different pressures, and the control unit determines different heating curves to heat the aerosol generating article based on the change in the sensing signal with different range values.

[0051] This application is explained using a thin film resistance strain gauge as an example of a sensing unit. When an aerosol generating product is inserted and the thin film resistance strain gauge is squeezed with a first pressure, the resistance value of the thin film resistance strain gauge changes. After the control unit collects the first resistance change signal, it determines the first heating curve according to the change in the first resistance change signal, and controls the heating component to heat the aerosol generating product based on the first heating curve. When the aerosol generating product is used to squeeze the thin film resistance strain gauge with a second pressure, the control unit collects the second resistance change signal, determines the second heating curve according to the change in the third resistance change signal, and controls the heating component to heat the aerosol generating product based on the second heating curve. When the aerosol generating product is used to squeeze the thin film resistance strain gauge with a third pressure, the control unit collects the third resistance change signal, determines the third heating curve according to the change in the third resistance change signal, and controls the heating component to heat the aerosol generating product based on the third heating curve. The first heating curve, the second heating curve, and the third heating curve have different corresponding powers.

[0052] It should be noted that because different users apply different pressures to the aerosol-generating article, the change in the sensing signal generated by the sensing unit when the aerosol-generating article corresponding to the same heating curve presses the sensing unit also varies. Therefore, the change in the first resistance change signal, the change in the second resistance change signal, and the change in the third resistance change signal are set to a range value. This range can be set within 1-4Ω.

[0053] Of course, the thin film resistance strain gauge can also be squeezed with a fourth pressure, a fifth pressure, ..., or an nth pressure to obtain the change in the fourth resistance change signal, the change in the fifth resistance change signal, ..., or the change in the nth resistance change signal, so as to determine the corresponding fourth heating curve, fifth heating curve, ..., or nth heating curve to control the heating component 40 to heat the aerosol generating product 200. This is not limited here and the specific setting is made according to actual needs.

[0054] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the power corresponding to the heating curve is proportional to the change in the sensing signal. That is, the greater the change in the sensing signal, the greater the power corresponding to the selected heating curve. In another embodiment, the power corresponding to the heating curve is inversely proportional to the value of the sensing signal. That is, the greater the change in the sensing signal, the smaller the power corresponding to the selected heating curve.

[0055] In another embodiment, the control unit further includes a counting unit, which counts the number of times the sensing unit generates a sensing signal within a preset time, that is, counts the number of times the aerosol generating product presses the sensing unit within the preset time, determines different heating curves according to the number of times the aerosol generating product presses the sensing unit within the preset time, and controls the heating component to heat the aerosol generating product based on the determined heating curve.

[0056] In one embodiment, the heating method further includes: presetting a correspondence between a plurality of different sensing signal change values and a plurality of heating curves; and selecting a corresponding heating curve according to the different sensing signal change values.

[0057] Specifically, when designing a product, the product designer can calculate the corresponding heating curve through a predetermined calculation scheme, and different heating curves correspond to different heating powers, and the calculated heating curves are stored in a storage unit. Furthermore, the correspondence between the pressure (number of times), the change in the sensing signal and the heating curve can be designed, and the corresponding relationship can be stored in the storage unit. When the control unit obtains the sensing signal, a corresponding heating curve is determined based on the change in the sensing signal and the stored corresponding relationship, and then the heating component is controlled to heat the aerosol generating product. And because different users press the aerosol generating product with different strengths, the value of the sensing signal generated by the sensing unit when the aerosol generating product squeezes the sensing unit is also different. Therefore, the change values of different sensing signals can be set as range values.

[0058] In one embodiment, the heating method further includes: controlling a feedback unit to send a feedback signal based on the determined heating curve.

[0059] Specifically, the feedback signal includes at least one of a sound signal, a light signal, and a vibration signal. When the feedback unit in the aerosol generating device is a microphone unit, the feedback signal emitted is a sound signal, for example, different sounds indicate different heating curves; when the feedback unit in the aerosol generating device is an LED light, the feedback signal emitted is a light signal, for example, light signals of different colors or light signals of different flashing frequencies indicate different heating curves; when the feedback unit in the aerosol generating device is a vibration sensor, the feedback signal emitted is a vibration signal, for example, vibration signals of different vibration frequencies indicate different heating curves.

[0060] Different from the existing technology, the heating method provided in the present application for an aerosol generating device includes: obtaining a sensing signal generated by a sensing unit; determining a heating curve for heating an aerosol generating product based on the sensing signal, and heating the aerosol generating product based on the determined heating curve. The operation is simple and does not require cumbersome pressing of buttons or other operations such as touching the screen, thereby improving the user experience.

[0062] The computer readable storage medium 60 stores a program file 61. When the program file 61 is executed by the processor, the following is achieved: Figure 2 The heating method described.
