Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an atomizer and its temperature control method. Background Technology
[0002] Small e-cigarettes have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their attractive appearance, low price, and diverse flavors, coupled with the increasing maturity of their technology and market. To cater to consumers' personalized taste preferences, various adjustable-voltage e-cigarettes have emerged on the market. For example, the common adjustable-voltage e-cigarette allows users to adjust the power supply voltage to raise or lower the atomization temperature, matching different vapor production needs. While adjustable-voltage e-cigarettes are convenient, they lack temperature control. Once the switch is turned on, the e-cigarette continuously outputs the set power, causing the heating coil temperature to rise continuously, potentially leading to burnt wicking, broken heating coil, or even burns to the user. On the other hand, temperature-controlled e-cigarettes use a built-in temperature control chip to monitor the heating coil temperature and automatically adjust the heating power according to the user's settings. This satisfies different taste preferences while preventing excessive heat from burning the wicking or causing burns from hot vapor. While temperature-controlled e-cigarettes offer significant advantages in terms of personalization and safety, their small size limits the integration of numerous control buttons or large display screens. Consequently, their configuration and operation become cumbersome, with limited configurable parameters. A common practice in temperature-controlled configurations is to assign a fixed heating power to the e-cigarette, which is not intuitive to adjust. Furthermore, since different e-liquids produce varying vapor outputs at different temperatures, it is difficult to achieve the desired flavor through a fixed power setting. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Based on the above-mentioned problems, this invention proposes an atomizer and its temperature control method, which allows users to easily adjust the desired flavor and improves the user experience.
[0004] In view of this, a first aspect of the present invention provides an atomizer, comprising a first body equipped with a power supply, a controller, and a first memory, and a second body equipped with an oil storage chamber, an atomizing chamber, and a mixing chamber. The oil storage chamber is used to store oil. The atomizing chamber is equipped with an oil guiding assembly and a heating element. The second body is further equipped with a second memory and a flow sensor. The flow sensor is disposed between the atomizing chamber and the mixing chamber to detect the flow rate of mist from the atomizing chamber to the mixing chamber. The second memory stores atomization temperature information corresponding to the oil in the oil storage chamber and temperature rise curves of the oil under different heating powers. The atomization temperature information includes the upper limit of the atomization temperature of the oil and... The atomization temperature limit is defined as follows: the temperature rise curve represents the relationship between heating time and the temperature of the heating element at a given heating power. The first body and the second body are respectively provided with mutually cooperating power supply interfaces and communication interfaces. When the second body is installed on the first body, the power supply provides power to the heating element, the second memory, and the flow sensor through the power supply interface. The controller establishes a communication connection with the second memory and the flow sensor through the communication interface. The controller is used to configure the target atomization temperature and its corresponding atomization temperature based on the atomization volume detected by the flow sensor and the user's operation, and to adjust the heating power of the heating element according to the atomization temperature.
[0005] A second aspect of the present invention provides an atomizer, comprising a first body having a power supply, a controller, and a first memory, and a second body having an oil storage chamber, an atomizing chamber, and a mixing chamber. The oil storage chamber is used to store oil, and the atomizing chamber has an oil guiding assembly and a heating element. The first body and the second body are respectively provided with mutually cooperating power supply interfaces. When the second body is installed on the first body, the power supply supplies power to the heating element through the power supply interface. The controller is configured to:
[0006] Configure the target mist volume and the first atomization temperature of the oil currently used in the atomizer corresponding to the target mist volume. The target mist volume is the amount of mist produced by the heating element of the atomizer heating the oil per unit time, which is set by the user according to their own usage habits.

[0009] The real-time temperature of the heating element is calculated based on the real-time resistance value of the heating element.
[0010] Determine whether the relationship between the real-time temperature of the heating element and the first atomization temperature meets a preset condition;
[0011] When the relationship between the real-time temperature of the heating element and the first atomization temperature meets the preset conditions, the heating power of the heating element is controlled so that the real-time temperature of the heating element is kept near the first atomization temperature until the user stops the inhalation action.
[0012] Furthermore, in the aforementioned atomizer, the second body is also equipped with a flow sensor. The flow sensor is positioned between the atomizing chamber and the mixing chamber to detect the flow rate of mist from the atomizing chamber to the mixing chamber. The first body and the second body are respectively equipped with mutually cooperating communication interfaces. When the second body is installed on the first body, the power supply provides power to the flow sensor through the power supply interface. The controller establishes a communication connection with the flow sensor through the communication interface. In the step of configuring the target mist volume and the first atomization temperature of the currently used oil in the atomizer corresponding to the target mist volume, the controller is configured as follows:
[0013] The user's operation controls the atomizer to enter the target mist volume configuration mode;

The upper limit of the atomization temperature is the maximum safe atomization temperature of the oil, and the lower limit of the atomization temperature is the minimum temperature at which the oil can atomize.
[0015] When a suction action is detected, the magnitude of the average suction force of this suction is obtained;
[0016] Based on the magnitude of the average suction force, a temperature value is matched between the upper limit of the atomization temperature and the lower limit of the atomization temperature as a second atomization temperature;
[0017] The heating element of the atomizer is controlled to heat and atomize the oil by a heating power corresponding to the second atomization temperature;
[0018] The real-time resistance value of the heating element of the atomizer is obtained during the heating process;
[0019] The real-time temperature of the heating element is calculated based on the real-time resistance value of the heating element.
[0020] When the relationship between the real-time temperature of the heating element and the second atomization temperature meets the preset conditions, the heating power of the heating element is controlled so that the real-time temperature of the heating element is kept near the second atomization temperature until the user stops the inhalation action;
[0021] The amount of mist generated by the heating element of the atomizer heating the oil per unit time is measured, and the amount of mist is determined as the amount of mist corresponding to the second atomization temperature;
[0022] The user's operation is received to determine the second atomization temperature as the first atomization temperature, and the amount of mist corresponding to the second atomization temperature is determined as the target amount of mist.
[0023] Exit the target fog volume configuration mode.
[0024] Furthermore, in the aforementioned atomizer, the second body is also provided with a second memory, which stores atomization temperature information corresponding to the oil in the oil reservoir. The atomization temperature information includes an upper limit and a lower limit for the atomization temperature of the oil. When the second body is installed on the first body, the power supply supplies power to the second memory through the power supply interface. The controller establishes a communication connection with the second memory through the communication interface.

[0032] The real-time temperature of the heating element is calculated based on the real-time resistance value of the heating element.
[0033] When the relationship between the real-time temperature of the heating element and the third atomization temperature meets the preset conditions, the heating power of the heating element is controlled so that the real-time temperature of the heating element is kept near the third atomization temperature until the user stops the inhalation action;
[0034] The amount of mist generated by the heating element of the atomizer heating the oil per unit time is measured, and the amount of mist is determined as the amount of mist corresponding to the third atomization temperature;
[0035] The third atomization temperature is fine-tuned based on the difference between the mist volume at the third atomization temperature and the target mist volume until the mist volume at the third atomization temperature is approximately equal to the target mist volume.
[0036] The third atomization temperature is stored in the first memory as the first atomization temperature.
[0037] Furthermore, in the atomizer described above, in the step of calculating the third atomization temperature corresponding to the oil in the second body based on the prior temperature, the prior upper temperature limit, the prior lower temperature limit, the current upper temperature limit, and the current lower temperature limit, the controller is configured to:

[0042] The heating power of the heating element is controlled to keep the real-time temperature of the heating element near the preheating temperature until the user's inhalation action is detected or the power of the atomizer is turned off.
[0043] Furthermore, in the aforementioned atomizer, the second memory also stores temperature rise curves for the oil under different heating powers. These temperature rise curves represent the relationship between heating time and the temperature of the heating element at the corresponding heating power. In the step of controlling the heating element of the atomizer to heat and atomize the oil with a heating power corresponding to the first atomization temperature, the controller is configured to:

[0047] Furthermore, in the atomizer described above, in the step of determining a target heating power as the heating power corresponding to the first atomization temperature, the controller is configured to:
[0048] The safe heating power range of the atomizer and the pre-selected heating mode are read from the first memory, the heating mode including a gentle mode and a stimulating mode;
[0049] From the safe heating power range, a candidate heating power range is determined in which the time required to rise from the preheating temperature to the first atomization temperature is less than the maximum lag time.
[0050] When the heating mode is gentle mode, the minimum power value in the candidate heating power range is determined as the target heating power;
[0051] When the heating mode is the stimulation mode, the maximum power value in the candidate heating power range is determined as the target heating power.

[0060] The real-time temperature of the heating element is calculated based on the real-time resistance value of the heating element.
[0061] When the real-time temperature of the heating element drops to the first atomization temperature, the heating power is finely adjusted until the temperature of the heating element remains dynamically stable near the first atomization temperature.
[0062] The average heating power that keeps the temperature of the heating element dynamically stable near the first atomization temperature is determined as the dynamic stable power corresponding to the oil.
[0063] The dynamically stable power is recorded in the first memory.
