Since the pressure when an adult presses a button is greater than that when a child presses a button, by setting the comparison of the pressure, the difficulty for a child to use the smoking device is further increased, thereby further reducing the probability of a child misusing the smoking device, and further improving the safety performance of the smoking device. Moreover, further limitations are imposed on obtaining the first pressing signal and the pressing time of the first pressing signal, that is, obtaining the self-locking signal, which can also reduce the probability of the user accidentally touching the button and causing the smoking device to switch to the self-locking state, and improve the user experience.

[0149] Optionally, in one embodiment, the step of obtaining the second pressing signal of the smoking device when the pressing time of the first pressing signal is less than the first preset pressing time includes:

[0150] When the pressing time of the first pressing signal is less than the first preset pressing time, obtain a second pressure;

[0151] Determine whether the second pressure is greater than the preset pressure;

[0152] When the second pressure is greater than the preset pressure, obtain the second pressing signal of the smoking device.

[0153] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 , which is a schematic flowchart of the self-locking method in another embodiment of the present application. The self-locking method further includes S510, S520, and S530. The detailed introductions of S510, S520, and S530 are as follows.

[0154] After the step of determining whether the pressing time of the first pressing signal is less than the first preset pressing time in S200, the following is further included:

[0155] S510, when the pressing time of the first pressing signal is not less than the first preset pressing time, obtain the working time of the smoking device.

[0156] That the pressing time of the first pressing signal is not less than the first preset pressing time, in other words, the pressing time of the first pressing signal is greater than or equal to the first preset pressing time. At this time, the second pressing signal will not be further obtained, but the smoking device enters the normal working state, that is, the unlocked state where it can be heated.

[0157] The working time of the smoking device in this embodiment refers to the heating time of the smoking device; or the continuous opening time of the smoking device.

[0158] This embodiment provides a basis for obtaining the working time of the smoking device and determining whether the working time is greater than a preset working time by determining that the pressing time of the first pressing signal is not less than the first preset pressing time.

[0159] S520. Determine whether the working time is greater than a preset working time.

[0160] The preset working time in this embodiment can be adjusted according to the user's needs. This embodiment does not limit the preset working time. Optionally, the preset working time is 6 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, or 120 min.

[0161] This embodiment provides a basis for obtaining the self-locking signal by comparing whether the working time is greater than the preset working time.

[0162] S530. When the working time is greater than the preset working time, obtain the self-locking signal of the smoking device.

[0163] When the working time is greater than the preset working time, it can also be understood that the heating time of the smoking device is too long and there is a risk of overheating; or, the continuous opening time of the smoking device is too long, wasting power and being easily accidentally touched by children or by accident, thus creating a safety hazard. Therefore, by obtaining the working time and comparing whether the working time is greater than the preset working time, this embodiment adds a way for the smoking device to obtain the self-locking signal, further reducing the probability of children misusing the smoking device, and thus further improving the safety performance of the smoking device.

[0164] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 which is a schematic flowchart of the self-locking method in another embodiment of the present application. The self-locking method further includes S610, S620, and S630. The detailed descriptions of S610, S620, and S630 are as follows.

[0165] After the step of S200 of determining whether the pressing time of the first pressing signal is less than the first preset pressing time, the following is further included:

[0166] S610. When the pressing time of the first pressing signal is not less than the first preset pressing time, obtain the working temperature of the smoking device.

[0167] The pressing time of the first pressing signal is not less than the first preset pressing time. In other words, the pressing time of the first pressing signal is greater than or equal to the first preset pressing time. At this time, the second pressing signal will not be further obtained, but the smoking device enters the normal working state, that is, the unlocked state where it can be heated.

[0168] The operating temperature of the smoking device in this embodiment refers to the current temperature of the smoking device; or the temperature set in the heating component of the smoking device.

[0169] This embodiment provides a basis for obtaining the operating temperature of the smoking device and determining whether the operating temperature is greater than the preset operating temperature by determining that the pressing time of the first pressing signal is not less than the first preset pressing time.

[0170] S620, determine whether the operating temperature is greater than the preset operating temperature.

[0171] The preset operating temperature in this embodiment can be adjusted according to the user's needs. This embodiment does not limit the preset operating temperature. Optionally, the preset operating temperature is 280 °C, 290 °C, 300 °C, 310 °C, 320 °C, 330 °C, 340 °C, 350 °C, 400 °C.

[0172] This embodiment provides a basis for obtaining the self-locking signal by comparing whether the operating temperature is greater than the preset operating temperature.

[0173] S630, when the operating temperature is greater than the preset operating temperature, obtain the self-locking signal of the smoking device.

[0174] When the operating temperature is greater than the preset operating temperature, it can also be understood that the heating time of the smoking device is too long, there is a risk of overheating, and it is easy to be accidentally touched by children or adults, thus creating a safety hazard. Therefore, this embodiment obtains the operating temperature and compares whether the operating temperature is greater than the preset operating temperature, increasing the way for the smoking device to obtain the self-locking signal, further reducing the probability of children misusing the smoking device, and thus further improving the safety performance of the smoking device.

[0175] In one embodiment, the steps to turn on the smoking device are as follows: Insert the cartridge into the cartridge chamber of the smoking device; press the power-on button for 5 s - 8 s, and the motor vibrates to remind the user that the device is turned on successfully. When the user feels the first vibration of the motor, release the finger. Then, wait for about 8 s, and the user feels the second vibration of the motor. Among them, during the first vibration and the second vibration of the motor, the heating component starts to heat the cartridge, raising the temperature to a predetermined temperature. The smoking device is turned on, and the user can normally inhale the smoke. For example, the time for inhaling the smoke is 3 min - 6 min, and the time for inhaling the smoke can be set according to the user's needs, that is, the number of minutes for inhaling the smoke.

[0176] In another embodiment, the steps of changing the smoking device from an unlocked state to a self-locked state, that is, activating the child lock, include: 1. first pressing the power button and not releasing it to obtain the first pressing signal of the smoking device and the pressing time of the first pressing signal; 2. then pressing the cooling button, that is, the button marked with a downward arrow, to obtain the second pressing signal of the smoking device. Specifically, it is necessary to determine whether the pressing time of the first pressing signal is less than the first preset pressing time; when the pressing time of the first pressing signal is less than the first preset pressing time, obtain the second pressing signal; only then can the self-locking signal be obtained according to the first pressing signal and the second pressing signal to convert the smoking device into the self-locking state.

[0177] At this time, the "lock closed symbol" will be displayed on the display screen, indicating that the smoking device has changed from an unlocked state to a self-locked state, that is, the function of the smoking device has been locked, and operating other functions is invalid, that is, the child lock function has been activated.

[0178] In another embodiment, the steps of changing the smoking device from a self-locking state to an unlocking state, that is, releasing the child lock, include: 1. first pressing the power button and not releasing it to obtain the first pressing signal of the smoking device and the pressing time of the first pressing signal; 2. then pressing the cooling button, that is, the button marked with a downward arrow, to obtain the second pressing signal of the smoking device. Specifically, it is necessary to determine whether the pressing time of the first pressing signal is less than the first preset pressing time; when the pressing time of the first pressing signal is less than the first preset pressing time, obtain the second pressing signal; only then can the unlocking signal be obtained according to the first pressing signal and the second pressing signal to convert the smoking device to the unlocking state.

[0179] At this time, the "lock open symbol" will be displayed on the display screen, indicating that the smoking device has changed from a self-locking state to an unlocked state, that is, the function of the smoking device has been unlocked, and other functions of the smoking device can be operated, that is, the child lock function has been released.

[0180] The present application also provides a self-locking device, which is applied to a smoking device, wherein the smoking device has a self-locking state when it cannot be heated, and the self-locking device includes an acquisition unit, a judgment unit, and a control unit. The acquisition unit is used to acquire a first pressing signal of the smoking device and a pressing time of the first pressing signal. The judgment unit is used to judge whether the pressing time of the first pressing signal is less than a first preset pressing time. When the pressing time of the first pressing signal is less than the first preset pressing time, the acquisition unit is also used to acquire a second pressing signal of the smoking device. The acquisition unit is also used to acquire a self-locking signal according to the first pressing signal and the second pressing signal; wherein the self-locking signal is used to control the smoking device to be converted to the self-locking state. The control unit is used to control the smoking device to be converted to the self-locking state.

[0181] The self-locking device provided by this embodiment can obtain the first pressing signal and the pressing time of the first pressing signal through an acquisition unit, and then judge by a judgment unit that the pressing time of the first pressing signal is less than the first preset pressing time. When the pressing time of the first pressing signal is less than the first preset pressing time, the acquisition unit acquires a second pressing signal. Then, the acquisition unit obtains a self-locking signal according to the first pressing signal and the second pressing signal. Subsequently, the control unit controls the smoking device to be converted into a self-locking state to realize the conversion of the self-locking state of the smoking device.

[0182] Therefore, through the mutual cooperation among the acquisition unit, the judgment unit, and the control unit, the smoking device is converted into a self-locking state, thereby reducing the probability of children misusing the smoking device, and further improving the safety performance of the smoking device.

[0183] Please refer to Figures 8 - 9 , Figure 8 which is a schematic structural diagram of a smoking device provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 9 which is an exploded view of the structure of a smoking device provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0184] The present application also provides a smoking device, which includes a housing, a control component, a button component, and a processor. The housing has a receiving space. The control component is arranged in the receiving space. The smoking device has a self-locking state when it cannot be heated and an unlocked state when it can be heated, and the control component is used to control the smoking device to switch between the self-locking state and the unlocked state. At least part of the button component is arranged in the receiving space, and the button component can move in a direction close to or away from the control component. The processor is arranged in the receiving space, and the processor is used to execute the self-locking method provided above in the present application.

[0185] Wherein, when the smoking device is in the unlocked state, the button component moves in a direction close to the control component and abuts against the control component, so that the control component controls the smoking device to be converted into the self-locking state.

[0186] The smoking device provided by this embodiment enables the smoking device to be converted into a self-locking state by using a processor that can execute the self-locking method provided above in the present application, thereby reducing the probability of children misusing the smoking device, and further improving the safety performance of the smoking device.

[0187] The smoking device 1 provided by this embodiment includes a housing 11, which is used to protect and fix other components and can also be used to improve the appearance effect of the smoking device 1. The shape and size of the housing 11 in this embodiment are not limited. The housing 11 of this embodiment includes a receiving space 11a. The control component 12 and at least part of the button component 13 are arranged in the receiving space 11a. Optionally, part of the button component 13 protrudes outside the receiving space 11a to facilitate the user to use the button component 13, or in other words, to facilitate the user to press the button component 13.

[0188] The smoking device 1 provided by this embodiment further includes a control component 12, which is used to convert the smoking device 1 from a self-locking state to an unlocked state, or to convert the smoking device 1 from an unlocked state to a self-locking state. The shape, structure, and size of the control component 12 in this embodiment are not limited. Optionally, the control component 12 includes, but is not limited to, mechanical components or electronic components to enable the smoking device 1 to switch between the unlocked state and the self-locking state. The specific structure of the control component 12 will be introduced in detail below.

[0189] The smoking device 1 provided by this embodiment further includes a button component 13. The button component 13 can move in a direction close to or away from the control component 12, thereby driving the control component 12. Among them, the user can press or release the button component 13, so that the button component 13 can move in a direction close to or away from the housing 11, so that the button component 13 can move in a direction close to or away from the control component 12. The shape, structure, and size of the button component 13 in this embodiment are not limited. In one embodiment, the button component 13 includes a plurality of buttons 131, and the number and functions of the buttons 131 in this embodiment are not limited.

[0190] Optionally, in one embodiment, the button 131 includes an unlock button 131 and a self-lock button 131. The unlock button 131 is used to control the unlocking of the smoking device 1, and the self-lock button 131 is used to control the self-locking of the smoking device 1.

[0191] Among them, when the smoking device 1 is in the unlocked state, the self-lock button 131 moves in a direction close to the control component 12 and abuts against the control component 12, so that the control component 12 controls the smoking device 1 to convert to the self-locking state. And when the smoking device 1 converts to the self-locking state, the self-lock button 131 moves in a direction away from the control component 12 and separates from the control component 12. When the smoking device 1 is in the self-locking state, the unlock button 131 moves in a direction close to the control component 12 and abuts against the control component 12, so that the control component 12 controls the smoking device 1 to convert to the unlocked state. And when the smoking device 1 converts to the unlocked state, the unlock button 131 moves in a direction away from the control component 12 and separates from the control component 12.

[0192] In this embodiment, the unlocking button 131 and the self-locking button 131 can be used to simply and conveniently switch the cigarette between the self-locking state and the unlocking state, thereby reducing the probability of children misusing the smoking device 1 and improving the safety performance of the smoking device 1.

[0193] Specifically, when the smoking device 1 is in the unlocking state, the button assembly 13 moves in the direction close to the control assembly 12 and abuts against the control assembly 12, thereby driving the control assembly 12 to control the smoking device 1 to switch from the unlocking state to the self-locking state. At this time, since the smoking device 1 is in the self-locking state, that is, the state where it cannot work, even if a child gets the smoking device 1, the child cannot start or use the smoking device 1, thereby reducing the probability of scalding the child or causing the child to ingest the smoke, and improving the safety performance of the smoking device 1. Moreover, when the smoking device 1 switches to the self-locking state, the button assembly 13 moves in the direction away from the control assembly 12 and separates from the control assembly 12 for the next use by the user.

[0194] Therefore, compared with the smoking device 1 without the self-locking state in the related art, the smoking device 1 of this embodiment can be switched from the unlocking state to the self-locking state by setting the button assembly 13 to cooperate with the control assembly 12, thereby reducing the probability of children misusing the smoking device 1 and improving the safety performance of the smoking device 1. Moreover, the smoking device 1 of this application can not only reduce the probability of a child starting the smoking device 1, thereby reducing the probability of a child using or inhaling an electronic cigarette. In other words, the self-locking state in this embodiment can also be understood as a child lock; but also can reduce the probability of accidentally starting the electronic smoking device 1, thereby improving the safety performance of the smoking device 1.

[0195] In addition, in one embodiment, when the smoking device 1 is in the self-locking state, the button assembly 13 moves in the direction close to the control assembly 12 again and abuts against the control assembly 12 to enable the control assembly 12 to control the smoking device 1 to switch to the unlocking state.

[0196] In this embodiment, by making the button assembly 13 abut against the control assembly 12 again, the control assembly 12 is driven to control the smoking device 1 to switch from the self-locking state to the unlocking state. At this time, the smoking device 1 is in the unlocking state, that is, the state where it can work. The user can heat the cartridge of the smoking device 1 through the button assembly 13 to inhale the smoke. The unlocking method and the self-locking method in this embodiment are the same, which is convenient for the user to remember, thereby reducing the operation difficulty of the user to switch the smoking device 1 between the self-locking state and the unlocking state and facilitating the user's operation.

[0197] It should be noted that the method for the smoking device 1 to switch from the unlocking state to the self-locking state is introduced in detail below in this embodiment. At the same time, the smoking device 1 of this embodiment can also adopt the method below to switch from the self-locking state to the unlocking state.

[0198] Please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 which is a schematic structural diagram of a button assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, the button assembly 13 includes at least two buttons 131; wherein, when the smoking device 1 is in the unlocked state, the at least two buttons 131 move in a direction close to the control assembly 12 and abut against the control assembly 12, so that the control assembly 12 controls the smoking device 1 to be converted into the self-locking state.

[0199] The button assembly 13 provided in this embodiment includes at least two buttons 131, and the buttons 131 are used to drive the control assembly 12. The number, shape, size, and function of the buttons 131 in this embodiment are not limited.

[0200] Optionally, the button assembly 13 includes a first button 1311, a second button 1312, a third button 1313, and a fourth button 1314. The first button 1311 is used to control the opening and closing of the smoking device 1, the second button 1312 is used to control the temperature increase of the smoking device 1, the third button 1313 is used to control the temperature decrease of the smoking device 1, and the fourth button 1314 is used to control the restart of the smoking device 1.

[0201] When the smoking device 1 is in the unlocked state, at least two buttons 131 move in a direction close to the control assembly 12 and abut against the control assembly 12, so that the control assembly 12 controls the smoking device 1 to be converted into the self-locking state. The specific buttons 131 and the timing of the buttons 131 abutting against the control assembly 12 in this embodiment are not limited.

[0202] For example, any two of the first button 1311, the second button 1312, the third button 1313, and the fourth button 1314 move in a direction close to the control assembly 12 and abut against the control assembly 12, so that the control assembly 12 controls the smoking device 1 to be converted into the self-locking state. The combination of any two of the first button 1311, the second button 1312, the third button 1313, and the fourth button 1314 in this embodiment is not limited. For another example, two buttons 131 abut against the control assembly 12 at the same time. For another example, two buttons 131 abut against the control assembly 12 successively.

[0203] For example, when any three of the first button 1311, the second button 1312, the third button 1313, and the fourth button 1314 move in the direction close to the control component 12 and abut against the control component 12, the control component 12 controls the smoking device 1 to switch to the self-locking state. In this embodiment, the combination of at least three of the first button 1311, the second button 1312, the third button 1313, and the fourth button 1314 is not limited. For another example, the three buttons 131 abut against the control component 12 simultaneously. For another example, the three buttons 131 abut against the control component 12 successively.

[0204] For example, the first button 1311, the second button 1312, the third button 1313, and the fourth button 1314 all move in the direction close to the control component 12 and abut against the control component 12, so that the control component 12 controls the smoking device 1 to switch to the self-locking state. For another example, the four buttons 131 abut against the control component 12 simultaneously. For another example, the four buttons 131 abut against the control component 12 successively.

[0205] In this embodiment, by making at least two buttons 131 abut against the control component 12, the smoking device 1 is switched to the self-locking state. In other words, the smoking device 1 of the present application needs to press two or more buttons 131 to switch the smoking device 1 from the unlocked state to the self-locking state, which further limits the child lock, further increases the difficulty for children to use the smoking device 1, thereby further reducing the probability of children misusing the smoking device 1, and further improving the safety performance of the smoking device 1. Moreover, it can also reduce the probability that the user accidentally touches the button 131 and causes the smoking device to switch to the self-locking state, improving the user experience.

[0206] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 which is a schematic structural diagram of the smoking device provided in another embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, the button assembly 13 includes three of the buttons 131; wherein, when the smoking device 1 is in the unlocked state, two of the buttons 131 abut against the control component 12, and the remaining button 131 is separated from the control component 12, so that the control component 12 controls the smoking device 1 to switch to the self-locking state.

[0207] The button assembly 13 provided in this embodiment includes three buttons 131, and the buttons 131 are used to drive the control component 12. In this embodiment, the shape, size, and function of the buttons 131 are not limited.

[0208] Optionally, any three of the three buttons 131 in this embodiment are any three of the first button 1311, the second button 1312, the third button 1313, and the fourth button 1314. This embodiment does not make a limitation. For example, when the smoking device 1 is in the unlocked state, any two of the first button 1311, the second button 1312, the third button 1313, and the fourth button 1314 abut against the control component 12, and any one of the remaining two of the first button 1311, the second button 1312, the third button 1313, and the fourth button 1314 is separated from the control component 12, so that the control component 12 controls the smoking device 1 to switch to the self-locking state.

[0209] Optionally, in another embodiment, the button assembly 13 includes four of the buttons 131. Among them, when the smoking device 1 is in the unlocked state, two of the buttons 131 abut against the control component 12, and the remaining two of the buttons 131 are both separated from the control component 12, so that the control component 12 controls the smoking device 1 to switch to the self-locking state.

[0210] In this embodiment, by making some of the buttons 131 abut against the control component 12 and some of the buttons 131 be separated from the control component 12, the smoking device 1 is switched to the self-locking state. In other words, for the smoking device 1 of this application, some of the buttons 131 need to be pressed and some of the buttons 131 need to be released to achieve the conversion of the smoking device 1 from the unlocked state to the self-locking state, which further increases the difficulty for children to use the smoking device 1, thereby further reducing the probability of children misusing the smoking device 1, and further improving the safety performance of the smoking device 1.

[0211] Please refer to again Figure 11 , in one embodiment, the three buttons 131 include a first button 1311, a second button 1312, and a third button 1313. The first button 1311 is used to control the opening and closing of the smoking device 1, the second button 1312 is used to control the temperature increase of the smoking device 1, and the third button 1313 is used to control the temperature decrease of the smoking device 1.

[0212] The three buttons 131 provided in this embodiment include a first button 1311, a second button 1312, and a third button 1313. This embodiment does not limit the shapes of the three buttons 131.

[0213] Specifically, in one embodiment, when the smoking device 1 is in the unlocked state, the first button 1311 first abuts against the control component 12, and then one of the second button 1312 and the third button 1313 abuts against the control component 12, so that the control component 12 controls the smoking device 1 to switch to the self-locking state.

[0214] For example, the first button 1311 first abuts against the control component 12, then the second button 1312 abuts against the control component 12, and the third button 1313 is separated from the control component 12. Or, the first button 1311 first abuts against the control component 12, then the third button 1313 abuts against the control component 12, and the second button 1312 is separated from the control component 12, so as to convert the smoking device 1 from the unlocked state to the self-locking state.

[0215] In another embodiment, when the smoking device 1 is in the unlocked state, the first button 1311, and one of the second button 1312 and the third button 1313 simultaneously abut against the control component 12, so that the control component 12 controls the smoking device 1 to be converted to the self-locking state.

[0216] In other words, the first button 1311 and the second button 1312 simultaneously abut against the control component 12, and the third button 1313 is separated from the control component 12. Or, the first button 1311 and the third button 1313 simultaneously abut against the control component 12, and the second button 1312 is separated from the control component 12, so as to convert the smoking device 1 from the unlocked state to the self-locking state.

[0217] In this embodiment, through the mutual cooperation of the first button 1311, the second button 1312, and the third button 1313 in the smoking device 1, the smoking device 1 is converted from the unlocked state to the self-locking state, further increasing the difficulty for children to use the smoking device 1, thereby further reducing the probability of children misusing the smoking device 1, and further improving the safety performance of the smoking device 1.

[0218] Please refer to Figure 12 , Figure 12 , which is a schematic structural diagram of the control component 12 provided by an embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, the control component 12 includes a circuit board 121 and a sensing member 122 disposed on one side of the circuit board 121 close to the button assembly 13; wherein, when the button assembly 13 moves in the direction close to the sensing member 122 and abuts against the sensing member 122, so that the sensing member 122 moves in the direction close to the circuit board 121 to a preset position, thereby enabling the circuit board 121 to control the smoking device 1 to be converted to the self-locking state.

[0219] The control component 12 provided in this embodiment includes a circuit board 121 and a sensing member 122. The circuit board 121 is used to control functions such as heating, self-locking, unlocking, and temperature adjustment of the smoking device 1. The sensing member 122 is used to sense the key 131 so that the user can drive the circuit board 121 through the key 131. The shapes and sizes of the circuit board 121 and the sensing member 122 are not limited in this embodiment. Both the circuit board 121 and the sensing member 122 are disposed in the accommodation space 11a of the housing 11. Optionally, one key 131 corresponds to one sensing member 122 one by one.

[0220] Specifically, when the smoking device 1 is in the unlocked state, the key assembly 13 moves in the direction close to the sensing member 122 and abuts against the sensing member 122. Then, the key assembly 13 drives the sensing member 122 to move in the direction close to the circuit board 121, so that the sensing member 122 moves to a preset position, thereby driving the control component 12 to control the smoking device 1 to switch from the unlocked state to the self-locked state. And when the smoking device 1 switches to the self-locked state, the key assembly 13 moves in the direction away from the sensing member 122 and separates from the sensing member 122, so that the sensing member 122 moves in the direction away from the control component 12, and the sensing member 122 is in a non-preset position for the next use by the user.

[0221] By arranging the cooperation between the key assembly 13 and the sensing member 122 in the smoking device 1 of this embodiment, the key assembly 13 can drive the circuit board 121 through the sensing member 122, so that the smoking device 1 can switch from the unlocked state to the self-locked state, thereby reducing the probability of children misusing the smoking device 1 and improving the safety performance of the smoking device 1.
