Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of heat-not-burning technology, specifically to a heat-not-burning atomizing device and its control method. Background Technology
[0002] Existing heat-not-burn atomizing devices (such as heat-not-burn smoking appliances) primarily employ temperature control methods that utilize the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) or temperature sensors to regulate the temperature of the heating element. For example, existing TCR temperature control methods measure the initial resistance R25 of the heating element at room temperature, establishing an initial temperature-resistance relationship. Then, based on the TCR of the heating element material, the required temperature T and resistance R are calculated: R = R25 + TCR(T - 25). The temperature of the heating element is then controlled by adjusting its resistance. However, the actual operating temperature of the heating element is much higher than room temperature, and the TCR of the heating material varies between heating elements due to manufacturing processes and other factors. Furthermore, the TCR of the heating material does not necessarily exhibit a linear or functional relationship. Consequently, the temperature control method using TCR suffers from significant temperature control errors. In addition, the inventors, after researching the existing heating element temperature control technologies, discovered that both of these methods pose certain safety risks. For example, if the heating element of a heated tobacco product is damaged, or if the temperature sensor used to monitor the operating temperature of the heating element is damaged, it may cause the temperature of the heating element to run out of control during operation, thereby damaging the heated tobacco atomizing device and even endangering the personal safety of the user. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. Similar elements in different embodiments are referred to by associated similar element reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of this application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, certain operations related to this application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid obscuring the core parts of this application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, detailed description of these related operations is not necessary; they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.
[0021] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can be rearranged or adjusted in a manner obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various orders in the specification and drawings are only for the clear description of a particular embodiment and do not imply a necessary order, unless otherwise stated that a particular order must be followed.
[0022] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).
[0023] The existing heat-not-burning atomizing devices mainly use temperature control methods such as resistance temperature coefficient or temperature sensor to control the temperature of the heating element in the heat-not-burning atomizing device.
[0024] After studying the existing temperature control technologies for heating elements, the inventors discovered that both methods pose certain safety risks. Taking the resistance temperature coefficient (RTC) control method as an example, the RTC of the heating element in a heated non-combustible atomizing device is typically a positive constant. That is, as the temperature of the heating element increases, its resistance also increases, allowing for temperature control via the RTC value. Each temperature value corresponds to a specific resistance value. When the heating element malfunctions, its resistance will either increase or decrease. If the resistance decreases, reaching the preset operating temperature requires increasing the output power, resulting in an actual operating temperature higher than the preset temperature, potentially leading to malfunction. Furthermore, damage to the heating element or the temperature sensor used to monitor its operating temperature can also cause malfunction, damaging the heated non-combustible atomizing device and even endangering the user. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing temperature control technologies for heated non-combustible atomizing devices.
[0025] The inventive concept of this invention is:
[0026] By obtaining the reference power-time relationship curve required for the heating element to operate, and monitoring whether the output energy (e.g., output power) of the heating element in the heated non-combustible atomizing device is within the safe range of the aforementioned reference power-time relationship curve, it is possible to determine whether the heating element is out of control (e.g., abnormal output energy of the heating element). For example, when the heating element or the corresponding temperature sensor is damaged, it will directly lead to abnormal output energy of the heating element. Therefore, by monitoring whether the output energy (e.g., output power) of the heating element is abnormal, it is possible to determine whether the heating element is out of control, thereby preventing the out-of-control heating element from damaging the heated non-combustible atomizing device and / or endangering the personal safety of the user.
[0027] The technical solution of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 This application discloses a control method for a heated non-combustible atomizing device in some embodiments. The control method includes:
[0029] S300: When the heating element of the heated non-combustible atomizing device starts working, the output power of the atomizing device to the heating element is monitored in real time;
[0030] S400: Based on the output power and the preset reference power-time relationship curve of the atomizing device, the heating element is controlled in real time.
[0031] In some embodiments, the heat-not-burning atomizing device may be a heat-not-burning smoking appliance. No specific type of heat-not-burning atomizing device is limited herein.
[0032] In some embodiments, the heating element described above may be the heating element in a non-combustible smoking appliance.
[0033] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can select a suitable heating element according to the needs of the actual application scenario, and there is no limitation on the specific type of heating element here.
[0034] In some embodiments, power can be supplied to the heating element by the power source within the atomizing device. That is, the output power of the atomizing device to the heating element can be monitored in real time.
[0035] In some embodiments, the heating element may also be powered by other power supply components within the atomizing device.
[0036] In some embodiments, the aforementioned preset atomizing device reference power-time relationship curve for the heating element is constructed by testing the heating element corresponding to the heating curve.
[0037] In some embodiments, when constructing the reference power-time relationship curve, those skilled in the art need to manually set the required heating curve for the heating element. The heating curve represents the functional relationship between the reference temperature of the heating element and the heating time. After the heating curve has been manually set, those skilled in the art test the heating element corresponding to the heating curve to construct the reference power-time relationship curve for the heating element. The reference power-time relationship curve represents the functional relationship between the reference power of the heating element and the heating time. Since the heating element of the same type of heated non-combustible smoke appliance will produce different power curves when heating, those skilled in the art need to conduct multiple tests on the same heating element to obtain a large amount of power test data when constructing the reference power-time relationship curve. Then, based on the power test data, multiple different power curves of the heating element are generated, and then these multiple different power curves are averaged into a single curve, i.e., the reference power-time relationship curve. The above-mentioned averaging of multiple different power curves into a single curve can be achieved by averaging multiple sets of power data under the same heating time to obtain the average power data under that heating time, and so on, until multiple average power data under a series of heating times are obtained, thus completing the construction of the reference power-time relationship curve. In other words, the reference power at a certain heating time in the reference power-time relationship curve is the average of multiple sets of power data corresponding to the same heating element and that heating time.
[0038] In some embodiments, the heating element is controlled in real time based on the output power and a preset reference power-time relationship curve of the atomizing device, including: determining the reference power corresponding to the heating time of the heating element based on the heating time of the heating element and the reference power-time relationship curve; calculating the difference between the output power and the reference power; and controlling the heating element in real time based on the difference.
[0039] In some embodiments, since the reference power-time relationship curve of the heating element can represent the reference power required by the heating element for a certain heating time, the reference power of the heating element corresponding to the heating time is also determined when the heating time of the heating element is determined.
[0040] In some embodiments, the heating element is controlled in real time based on the difference, including: if the difference exceeds a preset power threshold, it is determined that the heating element is out of control and the heating operation of the heating element is stopped; if the difference does not exceed the preset power threshold, it is determined that the heating element is normal and the heating operation of the heating element continues until the heating operation of the heating element ends.
[0041] In some embodiments, the preset power threshold ranges from 5% to 40%. Since the reference power-time curve itself can fluctuate significantly due to differences in the consistency of different smoking devices, those skilled in the art can set the preset power threshold according to actual needs. For example, if a particular smoking device has good consistency, the preset power threshold can be set to 10%, while if another smoking device has poor consistency, its preset power threshold can be set to 30%.
[0042] In some embodiments, the uncontrolled operation of the heating element may be caused by the following reasons: the heating element's lead wire is broken, causing an open circuit, which in turn leads to a decrease in the heating element's output power; the heating element cracks, causing its resistance value to deviate from its reference resistance value; the heating element oxidizes, causing its resistance value to increase, which in turn leads to a decrease in its output power; the temperature coefficient of resistance of the heating element changes, causing its resistance value to deviate from its normal resistance value; the heating element's lead wire is short-circuited, causing its resistance value to decrease, ultimately leading to excessive output power; the temperature sensor corresponding to the heating element is damaged, making it unable to accurately monitor the operating temperature of the heating element, which in turn leads to an inability to accurately control the temperature of the heating element (e.g., causing the heating element's output power to deviate excessively from its reference output power). In other words, situations where the heating element is damaged include: the heating element's lead wire is broken, the heating element is cracked, the heating element is oxidized, the temperature coefficient of resistance of the heating element changes, and the heating element's lead wire is short-circuited. Of course, there may be other reasons for the heating element to be damaged, which will not be listed here.
[0043] In some embodiments, real-time monitoring of the output power of the atomizing device to the heating element includes: real-time acquisition of voltage and current data corresponding to the heating time of the heating element power supply, wherein the heating element power supply is used to provide power to the heating element; calculating the output power of the heating element power supply corresponding to the heating time based on the voltage and current data of the heating element power supply, and using the output power of the heating element power supply as the output power corresponding to the heating time of the heating element.
[0044] In some embodiments, the heating element power source is used to provide power to the heating element.
[0045] In some embodiments, the power supply for the heating element may be used solely to provide power to the heating element. The power supply may be a battery. Because the heating element typically has high heating efficiency, in some embodiments, the output power of the power supply for the heating element is considered as the output power of the heating element.
[0046] In some embodiments, voltage and current data corresponding to the power supply of the heating element and the heating time can be collected in real time.
[0047] In some embodiments, voltage and current data corresponding to the heating element power supply and heating time can be collected at a preset sampling frequency. For example, the preset sampling frequency can be at least ten times per second. Those skilled in the art can set the preset sampling frequency according to actual needs, and the value of the preset sampling frequency is not limited here.
[0048] In some embodiments, if voltage and current data corresponding to the heating element power supply and heating time are obtained, the output power of the heating element power supply corresponding to the heating time can be calculated based on the voltage and current data of the heating element power supply. Then, the output power of the heating element power supply is used as the output power of the heating element corresponding to the heating time.
[0049] In some embodiments, the difference between the power output power of the heating element power supply and the reference power can be directly the difference between the power output power and the reference power corresponding to the heating time.
[0050] In some embodiments, the difference between the power output of the heating element and the reference power can be the difference between the power output and the reference power corresponding to the heating time, and then the percentage between the difference and the reference power corresponding to the heating time is calculated. The preset power threshold can then be expressed as a percentage.
[0051] As can be seen, by obtaining the reference power-time relationship curve required for the heating element to operate, and by monitoring in real time whether the output energy (e.g., output power) of the heating element in the thermoplastic atomizing device is within the safe range of the aforementioned reference power-time relationship curve, it is possible to determine whether the heating element is out of control (e.g., abnormal output energy of the heating element). For example, when the heating element or the temperature sensor corresponding to the heating element is damaged, it will directly lead to abnormal output energy of the heating element. Therefore, by monitoring whether the output energy (e.g., output power) of the heating element is abnormal, it is possible to determine whether the heating element is out of control, and thus promptly stop the heating operation of the heating element to prevent the out-of-control heating element from damaging the thermoplastic atomizing device and / or endangering the personal safety of the user.
[0052] In some embodiments, real-time monitoring of the output power of the atomizing device to the heating element includes: real-time acquisition of voltage and current data corresponding to the heating element and the heating time of the heating element; and calculation of the output power of the heating element corresponding to the heating time based on the voltage and current data of the heating element.
[0053] In some embodiments, voltage and current data corresponding to the heating element and heating time can also be collected in real time. With the voltage and current data corresponding to the heating element and heating time obtained, the output power corresponding to the heating element and heating time is calculated based on the voltage and current data. Since the calculation of output power is common knowledge, it will not be elaborated here.
[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The above control methods also include:
[0055] S100: When the heating element starts heating, the heating element parameters are acquired and it is determined whether the heating element parameters are within the preset range.
[0056] S200: If the heating element parameters are within the preset range, the heating curve of the heating element is obtained, and the heating element is rotated and its temperature is controlled according to the heating curve.
[0057] In some embodiments, the heating element parameters may be monitored only once when the heating element is started, in order to obtain the heating element parameters and determine whether the heating element parameters are within a preset range.
[0058] In some embodiments, if the heating element parameters are not within a preset range, the heating operation of the heating element is stopped.
[0059] In some embodiments, the heating element parameters include the resistance value and / or the temperature coefficient of resistance of the heating element. Since the acquisition of heating element parameters is common knowledge in this technical field, it will not be described in detail here.
[0060] In some embodiments, the heating curve is used to represent the functional relationship between the reference temperature of the heating element and the heating time.
[0061] In some embodiments, the heating curve is used to represent the functional relationship between the reference operating temperature of the heating element and the heating time.
[0062] In some embodiments, the reference operating temperature of the heating element refers to the highest temperature of the corresponding heating element, such as the highest temperature of the upper heating element.
[0063] In some embodiments, the heated non-combustible atomizing device can be a heated non-combustible smoking appliance. For example, since each heated non-combustible smoking appliance corresponds to a specific type of smoking appliance, those skilled in the art (such as technicians who have conducted professional research) need to adjust both the heated non-combustible smoking appliance and its corresponding smoking appliance when constructing the heating curve, so that the smoking appliance can achieve a good smoke output effect under the heating action of the heated non-combustible smoking appliance. In other words, the heating curve is artificially set by those skilled in the art based on actual needs. Furthermore, since the heating curve of the heating element is set according to the smoke output effect of the heated non-combustible smoking appliance, for example, different substances added to the heated non-combustible smoking appliance have different atomization temperatures, and therefore the final heating temperature required for the heating element will also be different; at the same time, the heating curve of the heating element is also related to parameters such as the thermal conductivity and specific heat of the heating element. Therefore, those skilled in the art can select different heating elements according to the smoke output effect of different heated non-combustible smoking appliances, and the final required heating curve will also be different.
[0064] In some embodiments, the heating curve of the heating element is obtained, and the heating element is rotated and its temperature is controlled according to the heating curve, so that the working temperature of the heating element corresponding to the heating time varies within a preset range of the heating curve, thereby meeting the heating requirements of the object to be heated (such as the heated non-combustible smoke appliance corresponding to the heating element).
[0065] In some embodiments, the heating element is subjected to cyclical temperature control based on its heating curve, including: determining a reference temperature for the heating element corresponding to the heating time based on the heating time and the heating curve; and controlling the temperature of the heating element based on the reference temperature corresponding to the heating time through resistance temperature coefficient control or through a temperature measuring unit. The reference temperature refers to the optimal operating temperature artificially set by the heating element to produce a predetermined smoke emission effect.
[0066] In some embodiments, the heating time is the time it takes for the heating element power supply to provide power to the heating element. Since the heating curve can represent the reference temperature of the heating element corresponding to the heating time, the heating curve can be used to monitor the operating temperature of the heating element, that is, to control the temperature of the heating element based on the reference temperature corresponding to the heating time, either by controlling the temperature through the resistance temperature coefficient or by using a temperature sensor.
[0067] In some embodiments, there are two methods for rotating the temperature of the heating element based on its heating curve: rotating the temperature of the heating element using the temperature coefficient of resistance or rotating the temperature of the heating element using a temperature sensor. Rotating temperature control refers to: detecting the resistance value or operating temperature of the heating element once, and then adjusting the output power of the heating element once based on its reference resistance value or reference operating temperature, and continuously repeating the above detection and adjustment process to achieve the change in the operating temperature of the heating element according to the heating curve. For example, when controlling the temperature using a temperature sensor, when the operating temperature of the heating element is higher than the reference operating temperature corresponding to the heating curve, the output power of the heating element is reduced; when the operating temperature of the heating element is lower than the reference operating temperature corresponding to the heating curve, the output power of the heating element is increased.
[0068] It should be noted that controlling the temperature of the heating element by the temperature coefficient of resistance or by using a temperature sensor are existing technologies in this field, and therefore will not be elaborated here.
[0069] In some embodiments, those skilled in the art can set the preset safety range corresponding to the heating element parameters according to actual needs. For example, the preset safety range of the resistance value of a certain heating element can be set to 0.35 to 0.65; and when the heating element of the heating non-combustible atomizing device is activated, if the resistance value of the heating element is detected to be 0.2, it is determined that the resistance value of the heating element deviates from its corresponding preset safety range, and thus the heating operation of the heating element is not activated.
[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The above control methods also include:
[0071] S500: Monitors the heating element parameters of the heating element at a preset frequency.
[0072] S600: If the heating element parameters deviate from the preset range of heating element parameters, the heating operation of the heating element shall be stopped.
[0073] In some embodiments, while the temperature of the heating element is controlled in rotation according to its heating curve, the heating element parameters can be monitored at a preset frequency. If the heating element parameters deviate from the preset range, the heating operation of the heating element is stopped.
[0074] In some embodiments, the preset frequency can be set according to actual needs. For example, the preset frequency here can be 20 milliseconds per cycle.
[0075] It should be noted that the monitoring of the heating element parameters is carried out by checking the heating element parameters according to the above-mentioned preset frequency interval and determining whether the heating element parameters are within the preset safe range; while the monitoring of the output power of the heating element based on the reference power-time relationship curve is real-time, that is, the above monitoring process and the process of adjusting the output power of the heating element can be continuous and uninterrupted.
