When in use, the built-in power supply provides electrical energy, and the atomizing liquid is heated and atomized by the heating system to generate aerosol, thereby realizing cigarette imitation. After the user draws on the device, the device needs to perform temperature compensation to achieve continuous power supply.

[0003] In the related art, during the operation of an aerosol device, when the number of puffs of the aerosol generating device reaches a specified number, the heating of the aerosol generating device is stopped until the operating temperature of the aerosol generating device returns to the temperature before heating and the operation is terminated.

[0057] For illustration, please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of a device control system provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device control system includes an aerosol generating device 110, and the aerosol generating device 110 includes an aerosol generating matrix 111 and a device base 112, and the aerosol generating matrix 111 and the device base 112 are connected by a connection interface.

[0058] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 110 is operated, and when the operating state of the aerosol generating device 110 meets the inhalation completion condition, the connection status of the connection interface is detected to obtain a first detection result, wherein the first detection result refers to the connection status between the device base 112 and the aerosol generating matrix 111.

[0059] In some embodiments, when the first detection result meets the disconnection condition, the device base 112 is cooled to obtain a cooled device base 112 .

[0060] Optionally, the aerosol generating device 110 comprises at least one of an electric heating type device or a carbon heating type device.

[0061] In combination with the above-mentioned device control system, the device control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail. For illustration, please refer to Figure 2 , which shows a flow chart of a device control method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the method includes the following steps 210 to 230.

[0062] Step 210, operating the aerosol generating device.

[0063] The aerosol generating device includes an aerosol generating matrix and a device base, and the aerosol generating matrix is ​​connected to the device base via a connecting interface.

[0064] Schematically, an aerosol generating device refers to a device that generates aerosol for inhalation by electronic means, wherein an aerosol generating substrate can be used as a carrier for generating aerosol, and a device base is used to provide electrical energy to the aerosol generating substrate.

[0065] Optionally, the connection interface is an external interface of the device base, that is, the connection interface is arranged on the outside of the base of the device base, for example: a cylindrical component is arranged on the top of the device base, and a magnetic patch is provided on the top of the component, and the cylindrical component is used as a connection interface; or, the connection interface is arranged on the inside of the device base, for example: an opening is provided at the top of the device base, and the opening is recessed into the interior of the base to form an interface, and this is not limited.

[0066] Schematically, the connection between the aerosol generating substrate and the device base includes at least one of the following ways:

[0067] 1. When the connection interface is an external device interface of the device base, one end of the aerosol generating matrix and one end of the external device interface are respectively provided with magnetic patches, and when the aerosol generating matrix and the external device interface are attached via the magnetic patches, the aerosol generating matrix and the device base are connected via the connection interface;

[0068] 2. When the connection interface is a built-in interface of the device base, the aerosol generating matrix is ​​inserted into the built-in interface of the device base and is fitted and connected with the inside of the built-in interface, and then the aerosol generating matrix and the device base are connected through the connection interface.

[0069] It is worth noting that the above connection methods are only illustrative examples and are not limited to this in the embodiments of the present application.

[0070] Optionally, during operation of the aerosol generating device, the aerosol generating device is in at least one of a preheating state, a constant pressure output state, or a temperature reduction cooling state.

[0071] The preheating state refers to the process of heating a heating component (eg, a heating wire) in the aerosol generating device after the aerosol generating device is started until a preset operating temperature is reached.

[0072] Among them, the constant pressure output process refers to the process in which the aerosol generating device reaches a preset operating temperature through a preheating process. If a suction action is performed, cold air enters the aerosol generating device, causing the temperature to drop. At this time, the heating component needs to be temperature compensated to keep it within a specified temperature range based on the preset operating temperature. Therefore, the constant pressure output process can also be called a temperature compensation process.

[0073] Among them, the cooling state refers to the process in which the aerosol generating device no longer heats or temperature compensates the adding component after the constant pressure output process is completed.

[0074] Optionally, the aerosol generating substrate is first connected to the device base, and then the aerosol generating device is started and operated; or, the device base is first started, and then the aerosol generating substrate is connected to the device base, which is not limited to this.

[0075] Step 220: When the operating state of the aerosol generating device meets the inhalation completion condition, the connection interface is detected to obtain a first detection result.

[0076] The first detection result is used to indicate the connection status between the device base and the aerosol generating matrix.

[0077] Schematically, there are two situations between the device base and the aerosol generating substrate: a connected state or a disconnected state.

[0078] The connection state means that the aerosol generating matrix and the device base are connected via a connection interface.

[0079] Among them, the disconnected state means that the aerosol generating matrix is ​​not connected to the device base. For example, if the aerosol generating matrix is ​​connected to the device base by inserting the connection interface, and the aerosol generating matrix is ​​completely pulled out from the connection interface, it means that the aerosol generating matrix and the device base are in a disconnected state. For another example, if the aerosol generating matrix is ​​connected to the device base by inserting the connection interface, and the aerosol generating matrix is ​​pulled out from the connection interface for a distance but not completely pulled out, and the pull-out distance reaches a preset distance threshold, it means that the aerosol generating matrix and the device base are in a disconnected state.

[0080] Optionally, the running status includes at least one of the following status determination methods:

[0081] 1. The number of times the aerosol generating substrate is puffed, that is, after the aerosol generating substrate is connected to the device base to obtain the aerosol generating device, the aerosol generating device can be puffed, wherein the puffing operation refers to the generation of aerosols through the aerosol generating substrate after the aerosol generating device is puffed, and the aerosols contain tiny droplets and solid particles, which can form smoke-like substances suspended in the air;

[0082] 2. The operating time of the aerosol generating device, which means the length of time the aerosol generating device operates after the aerosol generating device is started;

[0083] 3. The operating temperature of the aerosol generating device, that is, by obtaining the resistance value of the heating component in the aerosol generating device during operation and converting it into a corresponding temperature value through the resistance temperature coefficient;

[0084] 4. The residual amount of aerosol in the aerosol generating matrix, that is, the aerosol content in a single aerosol generating matrix is ​​limited, and each time a puffing operation is performed, the aerosol content in the aerosol generating matrix also decreases.

[0085] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned operating status of the aerosol generating device is only an illustrative example and is not limited to this in the embodiments of the present application.

[0086] Optionally, the connection between the aerosol generating substrate and the device base is detected by at least one of the following methods:

[0087] 1. A distance sensor is provided in the connection interface, and the connection status is detected by the distance sensor;

[0088] For example: a distance sensor is installed on the inner wall of one side of the connection interface, and a light signal is emitted to the inner wall of the connection interface through the distance sensor, and a light reflection signal corresponding to the light signal is received, wherein the light reflection signal is obtained by reflecting the light signal after encountering a solid during the transmission process. Therefore, according to the emission time of the light signal and the reception time of the light reflection signal, the propagation distance of the light signal can be calculated. If the aerosol generating matrix is ​​no longer connected to the device base, the light signal will encounter the inner wall of the interface and then be reflected. At this time, the propagation distance of the light signal is relatively long. If the aerosol generating matrix is ​​connected to the device base, the light signal will be reflected immediately after encountering the outer wall of the aerosol generating matrix after being emitted. At this time, the propagation distance of the light signal is relatively short.

[0089] 2. An induction circuit is provided in the connection interface, and a first contact is provided inside the connection interface, and a second contact is provided on the outer wall of the aerosol generating matrix. When the aerosol generating matrix is ​​connected to the device base, the first contact fits with the second contact, and the induction circuit is in a working state. If the induction circuit is in a disconnected state, it indicates that the aerosol generating matrix is ​​disconnected from the device base. Therefore, the connection status detection is achieved by judging the switch state of the induction circuit.

[0090] It is worth noting that the above connection status detection is only an illustrative example and is not limited to this in the embodiments of the present application.

[0091] Step 230, when the first detection result meets the disconnection condition, the device base is cooled down to obtain a cooled device base.

[0092] Illustratively, when the first detection result detects that the aerosol generating substrate is disconnected from the device base, it is considered that the first detection result meets the disconnection condition.

[0093] Optionally, the cooling treatment includes at least one of the following treatment methods:

[0094] 1. Stop heating the heating component and allow it to cool naturally;

[0095] 2. A cooling device is installed in the aerosol generating device, and the aerosol generating device is cooled by the cooling device. For example, a fan is installed in the base of the device, and the base of the device is cooled by starting the fan.

[0096] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned cooling treatment is only an illustrative example and is not limited to this in the embodiments of the present application.

[0097] Optionally, the heating component is disposed in a device base, or the heating component is disposed in an aerosol generating matrix, which is not limited.

[0098] Therefore, if the heating component is disposed in the device base, cooling the aerosol generating device is equivalent to cooling the device base; if the heating component is disposed in the aerosol generating matrix, since the aerosol generating matrix and the device base are connected via a connecting interface during the operation of the aerosol generating device, the temperature of the aerosol generating matrix is ​​transferred to the device base after being heated. When the aerosol generating matrix and the device base are disconnected, the device base with residual heat is cooled.

[0099] The device control method provided in the embodiment of the present application operates the aerosol generating device when the aerosol generating device includes an aerosol generating matrix and a device base in a connected state. When the operating state of the aerosol generating device meets the conditions for completing the inhalation, the connection status of the connection interface between the aerosol generating matrix and the device base is detected. If the detection shows that the aerosol generating matrix and the device base are not connected, it indicates that the aerosol generating device is no longer in an inhalable state. Therefore, the device base can be cooled to ensure that when the device base is cooled, the aerosol generating matrix is ​​no longer connected to the aerosol generating device, thereby improving the accuracy of the device temperature control and extending the service life of the device.

[0100] In some embodiments, the connection status detection is described in detail. For example, please refer to Figure 3 , which shows a flow chart of a device control method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, that is, step 220 also includes step 221 and step 223, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method also includes the following steps.

[0101] Step 221: Send a detection signal to the inner wall of the connection interface through the first detection position.

[0102] The connection interface includes a first detection position, which is used to detect the connection between the device base and the aerosol generating matrix.

[0103] Illustratively, the first detection position refers to the position where the detection signal is sent.

[0104] Optionally, the first detection position is located inside the connection interface, for example, at a designated position of an inner wall of the connection interface; or, the first detection position is located outside the connection interface, for example, at a top position of the connection interface.

[0105] In some embodiments, a distance sensor is provided at the first detection position for sending a detection signal to the inside of the connection interface.

[0106] Optionally, the distance sensor includes at least one of the following sensor types:

[0107] 1. Ultrasonic sensor: used to transmit ultrasonic signals as detection signals, by transmitting ultrasonic pulses and receiving the signals reflected by the ultrasonic pulses, so as to calculate the distance according to the time difference of signal transmission.

[0108] 2. Optical sensor: It also includes laser sensor or infrared sensor, which calculates the distance by emitting light pulse (laser beam or infrared light) as detection signal and measuring the reflection time or pulse intensity of the light pulse.

[0109] It is worth noting that the above description about the sensor is only an illustrative example and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0110] Optionally, the first detection position is one or more detection positions in the connection interface.

[0111] When the first detection position is a plurality of different detection positions in the connection interface, detection signals are sent to different positions of the inner wall of the interface through the plurality of different detection positions.

[0112] In this embodiment, taking the first detection position as a single detection position as an example, when sending a detection signal to the inner wall of the interface, the transmission route of the detection signal is 90 degrees to the horizontal plane where the first detection position is located.

[0113] Taking the first detection position as a single detection position as an example, optionally, a detection signal is sent only once; or, a detection signal is sent once at a specified time interval, which is not limited to this.

[0114] For illustration, please refer to Figure 4 , which shows a schematic cross-sectional view of an aerosol generating device provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4As shown, an aerosol generating device 400 is currently displayed, which includes an aerosol generating matrix 410 and a device base 420, wherein the aerosol generating matrix 410 and the device base 420 are connected via a connection interface 401, wherein a distance sensor 402 is provided inside the connection interface 401, and the position of the distance sensor 402 at the connection interface 401 is used as a first detection position, and a detection signal is emitted by the distance sensor 402.

[0115] Step 222: Receive a signal feedback result corresponding to the detection signal.

[0116] The signal feedback result refers to the signal reflected from the collision position during the transmission of the detection signal, and the collision position is the position where the detection signal is reflected after the collision.

[0117] Illustratively, after a detection signal is sent from the first detection position, when the detection signal collides with a solid object during transmission, signal reflection will occur.

[0118] The position corresponding to the collision with the solid object is taken as the collision position, and the detection signal is reflected to form a signal feedback result with the collision position as the starting point.

[0119] Optionally, the signal feedback result is received in at least one of the following ways:

[0120] 1. The detection signal is transmitted from the first detection position along the corresponding first transmission path. After the detection signal passes the collision position, the current transmission direction is reversed and transmitted again along the first transmission path as the signal feedback result, and finally reaches the first detection position. That is, in the current case, the reflection angle of the detection signal is 180 degrees, and the signal feedback result can be received by the first detection position;

[0121] 2. When the detection signal passes through the collision position, a reflection angle is generated, but the reflection angle is greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees. Therefore, during the process of transmitting the detection signal as a signal feedback result after reflection, its transmission path is different from the transmission path of the original detection signal. Therefore, the connection interface also includes a second detection position, and finally the signal feedback result is received at the second detection position. The first detection position and the second detection position are different.

[0122] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned method for receiving the signal feedback result is only an illustrative example and is not limited to this in the embodiments of the present application.

[0123] Optionally, there is one or more collision positions, wherein when there are multiple collision positions, the signal feedback result is a signal obtained after the detection signal is reflected by the multiple collision positions.

[0124] Optionally, the collision location is a location on an inner wall of the interface; or, the collision location is a location on an outer wall of the aerosol-generating substrate.

[0125] Schematically, the connection between the aerosol generating substrate and the device base at the collision location determines the properties of the solid object (interface inner wall or aerosol generating substrate outer wall) at the collision location.

[0126] Step 223: Obtain a first detection result based on the signal difference between the detection signal and the signal feedback result.

[0127] Illustratively, after the signal feedback result is obtained, the distance between the first detection position and the collision position is calculated according to the signal difference between the detection signal and the signal feedback result as the first detection result.

[0128] Optionally, the signal difference includes at least one of a time difference or a signal strength difference.

[0129] In some embodiments, a first moment corresponding to a detection signal is obtained, and the first moment is used to indicate the moment corresponding to sending the detection signal; a second moment corresponding to a signal feedback result is obtained, and the second moment is used to indicate the moment corresponding to receiving the signal feedback result; and a first detection result is obtained based on the time difference between the first moment and the second moment.

[0130] In this embodiment, when a detection signal is sent at the first detection position, the moment corresponding to the time when the detection signal is sent is obtained as the first moment, and the second moment corresponding to the signal detection result is determined, and the time difference between the first moment and the second moment is calculated. According to the product result between the signal transmission speed and the time difference, the distance between the first detection position and the collision position is obtained as the first detection result.

[0131] Among them, according to the different signal types of the detection signal, the corresponding signal transmission speed is also different.

[0132] In some embodiments, a first signal strength corresponding to the detection signal is obtained; a second signal strength corresponding to the signal feedback result is obtained; and a first detection result is obtained based on a signal difference between the first signal strength and the second signal strength.

[0133] In this embodiment, when a detection signal is emitted at the first detection position, the detection signal corresponds to a first signal strength. During the transmission process, the detection signal is affected by impurities in the air and the signal strength will be weakened. Moreover, when the detection signal hits a solid object and is reflected at the collision position, the corresponding signal strength will also be weakened. Therefore, when the signal feedback result is received, the signal strength corresponding to the signal feedback result is used as the second signal strength.

[0134] In this embodiment, a path loss model is pre-trained, for example, a free space path loss (FSPL) model, which is used to obtain the signal difference between the first signal strength and the second signal strength. The transmission frequency of the detection signal, the position distance between the first detection position and the position corresponding to the received signal feedback result (which can be the first detection position or the second detection position) (if the position of the received signal feedback result is the first detection position, the position is 0) are substituted into the FSPL model, the signal difference is calculated, and the first detection result is determined according to the signal difference.

[0135] In this embodiment, multiple signal difference thresholds are pre-set, corresponding to different detection results respectively. For example, signal difference threshold 1 corresponds to the connection state of the detection result, and signal difference threshold 2 corresponds to the disconnection state of the detection result. According to the signal difference threshold matched by the signal difference, the connection state between the aerosol generating matrix and the device base is determined to obtain the first detection result.

[0136] In some embodiments, when the number of times the aerosol generating substrate is used reaches a preset number threshold, the connection status of the connection interface is detected to obtain a first detection result; or, when the operating time of the aerosol generating device reaches a preset time threshold, the connection status of the connection interface is detected to obtain a first detection result.

[0137] In this embodiment, the aerosol generating substrate is pre-set with a specified number of puffs. When the number of puffs is reached, the aerosol generating substrate is in an exhausted state. At this time, the connection status of the connection interface is detected to obtain a first detection result.

[0138] In this embodiment, a puffing time threshold is pre-set, and when the aerosol generating matrix and the device base are connected, when the aerosol generating device is running and the running time reaches the puffing time threshold, the connection status of the connection interface is detected to obtain a first detection result.

[0139] Step 230, when the first detection result meets the disconnection condition, the device base is cooled down to obtain a cooled device base.

[0140] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the aerosol generating substrate and the device base are disconnected, the device base is cooled to obtain a cooled device base.

[0141] In some embodiments, when the time difference is greater than a preset time difference threshold, the device base is cooled to obtain a cooled device base.

[0142] In this embodiment, if the cooling time is determined by calculating the time difference, if the time difference between the first moment and the second moment is greater than the preset time difference threshold, it means that the signal transmission time of the detection signal is very long, and the collision position is on the inner wall of the connection interface. Therefore, there are no other solid objects in the connection interface. Therefore, the aerosol generating matrix and the device base are in a disconnected state.

[0143] In some embodiments, when the first detection result meets the connection disconnection condition, a first operating temperature corresponding to the device base is obtained; the operating temperature difference between the first operating temperature and a pre-set second operating temperature is obtained, and the second operating temperature refers to the operating temperature corresponding to the device base after the temperature reduction treatment; the cooling mode corresponding to the device base is determined according to the operating temperature difference, and the cooling mode is used to determine the cooling speed of the base device during cooling; the device base is cooled based on the cooling mode to obtain the cooled device base.

[0144] In this embodiment, if the aerosol generating matrix and the device base are in a disconnected state, the operating temperature corresponding to the current device base is obtained as the first operating temperature, and a second operating temperature is pre-set. According to the temperature difference between the first operating temperature and the second operating temperature, a cooling mode is determined, and the device base is cooled according to the cooling mode.

[0145] In this embodiment, a fan device is provided at the bottom of the device base. The rotation speed of the fan device is determined according to the temperature difference. The larger the temperature difference, the faster the rotation speed, and therefore the faster the cooling speed. After determining the rotation speed of the fan device, the fan device is started, and the fan device is used to cool down the device base until the device base is at the second operating temperature.

[0146] The device control method provided in the embodiment of the present application operates the aerosol generating device when the aerosol generating device includes an aerosol generating matrix and a device base in a connected state. When the operating state of the aerosol generating device meets the conditions for completing the inhalation, the connection status of the connection interface between the aerosol generating matrix and the device base is detected. If the detection shows that the aerosol generating matrix and the device base are not connected, it indicates that the aerosol generating device is no longer in an inhalable state. Therefore, the device base can be cooled to ensure that when the device base is cooled, the aerosol generating matrix is ​​no longer connected to the aerosol generating device, thereby improving the accuracy of the device temperature control and extending the service life of the device.

[0147] For illustration, please refer to Figure 5 , which shows a flow chart of a device control method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the current process includes the following steps.

[0148] Step 510, adding a distance sensor.

[0149] When the hardware of the device base is developed, a distance sensor is arranged inside the connection interface of the device base, and a fan device is arranged at the bottom of the device base.

[0150] Step 520, software configuration function module.

[0151] The function program is burned into the control chip of the device base, and the function program includes the running program corresponding to each functional component in the device base.

[0152] After the aerosol generating device is started, if the aerosol generating device meets the conditions for completing the inhalation, the connection status of the connection interface is detected through the distance sensor. If the detection result shows that the aerosol generating matrix and the device base are in a connected state, step 530 is executed. If the detection result shows that the aerosol generating matrix and the device base are in a disconnected state, step 540 is executed.

[0153] Step 530, prompting to pull out the aerosol generating substrate.

[0154] If the detection result shows that the aerosol generating matrix and the device base are in a connected state, an unplugging reminder sound effect is played to inform the user to disconnect the aerosol generating matrix and the device base as soon as possible.

[0155] If an unplugging operation is received, the connection status of the connection interface is detected again through the distance sensor to obtain a first detection result. If it is still in a connected state at this time, it means that the user does not want to unplug the aerosol generating matrix, or the aerosol generating matrix has not been used up. At this time, step 650 is executed, indicating that the device base is naturally cooled to the specified second operating temperature.

[0156] Step 540, start the cooling mode.

[0157] If the detection result shows that the aerosol generating matrix and the device base are in a disconnected state, the device base is quickly cooled using a fan device at the bottom of the device base.

[0158] Step 550, end.

[0159] When the temperature of the device base drops to the preset second operating temperature, the process ends.

[0160] The device control method provided in the embodiment of the present application operates the aerosol generating device when the aerosol generating device includes an aerosol generating matrix and a device base in a connected state. When the operating state of the aerosol generating device meets the conditions for completing the inhalation, the connection status of the connection interface between the aerosol generating matrix and the device base is detected. If the detection shows that the aerosol generating matrix and the device base are not connected, it indicates that the aerosol generating device is no longer in an inhalable state. Therefore, the device base can be cooled to ensure that when the device base is cooled, the aerosol generating matrix is ​​no longer connected to the aerosol generating device, thereby improving the accuracy of the device temperature control and extending the service life of the device.
