[0056] See also Figure 1, the present application proposes a control method for an electronic cigarette, the control method comprising: S1, obtaining the use status of the electronic cigarette; S2, obtaining the oil storage status of the atomization bin; S3, determining the oil filling status according to the use status and the oil storage status; S4, filling the atomization bin with oil according to the oil filling status. In the control method for the electronic cigarette of the present application, by judging the use status of the electronic cigarette and the oil storage status of the atomization bin, whether to fill the atomization bin with oil is determined, it is not easy to cause oil leakage during the filling process due to the change of the use status of the electronic cigarette, and oil leakage caused by the oversaturation of the oil in the atomization bin, so that the oil filling of the atomization bin can be automatically controlled, the automatic management of the electronic cigarette filling process can be realized, the user operation is simplified, and the convenience and safety of use are improved.

[0057] S1 obtains the use status of the electronic cigarette, including: S11, obtains the posture status of the electronic cigarette; S12, obtains the oil consumption of the atomization chamber within a preset time; S13, determines the use status according to the posture status and the oil consumption. Thus, the use status of the electronic cigarette can be determined relatively ideally through the posture status of the electronic cigarette and the oil consumption of the atomization chamber within a preset time.

[0058] The posture state of the electronic cigarette can include a static posture and a motion posture. In S11, the posture state of the electronic cigarette can be obtained based on the real-time monitoring data of the accelerometer (G-sensor), and the acceleration values ​​of the electronic cigarette in the X, Y, and Z axes can be obtained to obtain the posture state of the electronic cigarette. When the electronic cigarette is placed statically on a horizontal desktop, the Z axis of the G-sensor chip is perpendicular to the ground, the Z axis output is a fixed value, and the X and Y axis outputs are 0g (de-jittered by the algorithm), and the posture sensing module of the accelerometer returns the information that the electronic cigarette is in a static posture. If it is detected that the G-sensor has a significant change in the value of any of the three axes of X, Y, and Z, it means that the user picks up the electronic cigarette to prepare for inhalation, or the electronic cigarette is in a motion posture, then the posture sensing module returns the information that the electronic cigarette is in a motion posture.

[0059] The use state of the electronic cigarette includes a standby state and a pre-filled oil state. In the control method of the electronic cigarette of the present application, the initialization use state of the electronic cigarette can be a standby state.

[0060] S13 determines the use state according to the posture state and the oil consumption, including: in response to the posture state being a motion posture, determining the use state to be a standby state. S3 determines the oil filling state according to the use state and the oil storage state, including: in response to the use state being a standby state, determining the oil filling state to be not filling the atomization bin; S4 fills the atomization bin with oil according to the oil filling state, including: in response to the oil filling state being not filling the atomization bin, not filling the atomization bin with oil. Thus, when the electronic cigarette is in a motion posture, oil is not filled into the atomization bin, which can effectively reduce the risk of oil leakage during the filling process.

[0061] When the posture state of the electronic cigarette is determined to be a static posture, it is necessary to further determine the use state of the electronic cigarette based on the oil consumption of the atomization bin within the preset time. S12 obtains the oil consumption of the atomization bin within the preset time, including: S121, obtains the working parameters of the electronic cigarette; S122, determines the oil consumption according to the working parameters. Through the working parameters of the electronic cigarette, it is possible to judge the oil consumption of the atomization bin within the preset time more ideally. The working parameters may include at least one of the cumulative number of puffs within the preset time, the cumulative puffing time, the output power curve, and sensor information. The sensor may be at least one of an airflow sensor, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a touch sensor, a proximity sensor, a liquid level sensor, a position sensor, and a liquid leakage sensor, without limitation.

[0062] S13 determines the use state according to the posture state and the oil consumption, including: in response to the oil consumption being less than the preset oil consumption, determining the use state to be the standby state; S3 determines the oil filling state according to the use state and the oil storage state, including: in response to the use state being the standby state, determining the oil filling state to be not filling the atomization bin; S4 fills the atomization bin with oil according to the oil filling state, including: in response to the oil filling state being not filling the atomization bin. When the oil consumption does not exceed the preset oil consumption, the atomization bin is not filled with oil, thereby avoiding oil leakage caused by excessive oil filling in the atomization bin.

[0063] In the control method of the electronic cigarette of the present application, the use state of the electronic cigarette can be determined first according to the posture state, or the use state of the electronic cigarette can be determined first according to the fuel consumption, and there is no limitation on the order of precedence. Of course, the acquisition of the posture state and the fuel consumption can also be carried out at the same time. When the posture state is first determined to be a motion posture, there is no need to determine the size of the fuel consumption and the preset fuel consumption, and the use state can be directly determined as a standby state, thereby improving the processing speed. Similarly, when it is determined that the fuel consumption is less than the preset fuel consumption, there is no need to determine the posture state, and the use state can be directly determined as a standby state. When the posture state is first determined to be a static posture or the fuel consumption is greater than or equal to the preset fuel consumption, the other one needs to be determined as well.

[0064] When the posture state is a static posture and the fuel consumption is greater than or equal to the preset fuel consumption, S13 determines the use state according to the posture state and the fuel consumption, including: in response to the posture state being a static posture and the fuel consumption being greater than or equal to the preset fuel consumption, determining the use state to be a pre-fuel filling state. When the use state is the pre-fuel filling state, it is necessary to further determine the fuel storage state of the atomization chamber.

[0065] S2 obtains the oil storage state of the atomization bin, including: S21, obtains the oil storage amount of the atomization bin; S22, determines the oil storage state according to the oil storage amount. Thus, by determining the oil storage state of the atomization bin, oil leakage caused by excessive oil filling of the atomization bin can be avoided. The oil storage amount can be obtained through a pressure sensor and / or a liquid level sensor.

[0066] The oil storage state of the electronic cigarette may include an over-state and a non-over-state. S22 determines the oil storage state according to the oil storage amount, including: in response to the oil storage amount being greater than or equal to the preset oil storage amount, determining that the oil storage state is an over-state; S3 determines the oil filling state according to the use state and the oil storage state, including: in response to the oil storage state being an over-state, determining that the oil filling state is not filling the atomization bin; S4 fills the atomization bin with oil according to the oil filling state, including: in response to the oil filling state being not filling the atomization bin, not filling the atomization bin. In this way, oil leakage caused by excessive oil filling in the atomization bin can be avoided. The preset oil storage amount may be the maximum oil storage amount, that is, when the oil storage amount is greater than the preset oil storage amount, the oil in the atomization bin is oversaturated, and the electronic cigarette may leak.

[0067] S22 determines the oil storage state according to the oil storage amount, including: in response to the oil storage amount being less than the preset oil storage amount, determining that the oil storage state is a non-over-amount state; S3 determines the oil filling state according to the use state and the oil storage state, including: in response to the use state being a pre-oil filling state and the oil storage state being a non-over-amount state, determining that the oil filling state is to fill the atomization bin with oil; S4 fills the atomization bin with oil according to the oil filling state, including: in response to the oil filling state being to fill the atomization bin with oil, filling the atomization bin with oil. In other words, oil will only be filled into the atomization bin if both the use state is a pre-oil filling state and the oil storage state is a non-over-amount state. Therefore, through the dual judgment of the use state of the electronic cigarette and the oil storage state of the atomization bin, oil leakage will not occur during the process of filling the atomization bin with oil, and the atomization bin will not leak oil due to oversaturation of oil filling.

[0068] In the control method of the electronic cigarette of the present application, the use status can be determined first, or the oil storage status can be determined first, in no particular order. Of course, the use status and the oil storage status can also be determined at the same time. After determining that the use status of the electronic cigarette is the standby state, there is no need to determine the oil storage status of the electronic cigarette, and the atomization bin can be responded to by not injecting oil into the standby state, thereby improving the processing speed; similarly, after determining that the oil storage status of the electronic cigarette is the excess state, there is no need to determine the use status of the electronic cigarette, and the atomization bin can be responded to by not injecting oil into the excess state. When the use status is first determined to be the pre-oil filling state or the oil storage state is the non-excess state, the state of the other needs to be determined as well.

[0069] During the oil filling process of the atomization chamber, the use state of the electronic cigarette will switch between the standby state and the pre-oil filling state. For example, during the oil filling process of the atomization chamber, if the user takes a puff, the electronic cigarette switches from a static posture to a motion posture, and the use state of the electronic cigarette switches from the pre-oil filling state to the standby state, and the atomization chamber stops filling oil. If the user stops puffing, the electronic cigarette switches from a motion posture to a static posture, and the use state of the electronic cigarette switches from the standby state to the pre-oil filling state, after determining that the oil storage state is not in an over-amount state, the atomization chamber is filled with oil again.

[0070] During the oil filling process of the atomization chamber, as the oil storage amount in the atomization chamber increases, the oil storage amount is equal to the preset oil storage amount, and when the oil storage state switches from a non-over-amount state to an over-amount state, the oil filling of the atomization chamber stops.

[0071] After filling the atomizer bin with oil according to the oil filling state in S4, the electronic cigarette control method proposed in the present application further includes: S5, obtaining the oil filling parameters of the atomizer bin this time; S6, re-determining the oil storage state of the atomizer bin according to the oil filling parameters this time. Thus, the oil filling process can be controlled by obtaining the oil filling parameters of the atomizer bin this time.

[0072] S6 re-determines the oil storage state of the atomizer according to the oil-filled parameter this time, including: in response to the oil-filled parameter this time being greater than or equal to the preset parameter, determines that the oil storage state is an over-amount state; in response to the oil-filled parameter this time being less than the preset parameter, determines that the oil storage state is a non-over-amount state. Thus, by re-determining the oil storage state through the oil-filled parameter this time, the oil filling process can be controlled at a secondary level, thereby preventing oil waste and reducing the risk of oil leakage.

[0073] The oil injection parameters for this time may include the oil injection time and / or the oil injection amount for this time. Correspondingly, the preset parameters may include the preset oil injection time and / or the preset oil injection amount.

[0074] In the control method of the electronic cigarette proposed in the present application, after determining the oil filling state according to the use state and the oil storage state in S3, it also includes: S7, issuing a prompt according to the oil storage state. Thus, when the oil storage reaches the preset oil storage, an alarm prompt is issued through the safety prompt module 150, which can further prevent oil from overflowing. The prompt may include but is not limited to voice prompt, light prompt and vibration prompt.

[0075] See also Figure 2 The present application proposes a control device 100 for an electronic cigarette, and the control device 100 includes a usage monitoring module 110, an oil storage monitoring module 120, and an oil filling control module 130. The usage monitoring module 110 is used to obtain the usage status of the electronic cigarette. The oil storage monitoring module 120 is used to obtain the oil storage status of the atomization bin. The oil filling control module 130 is used to determine the oil filling status according to the usage status and the oil storage status, and to fill the atomization bin with oil according to the oil filling status. The control device 100 of the electronic cigarette of the present application can realize the automated management of the electronic cigarette filling process, thereby simplifying the user operation and improving the convenience and safety of use.

[0076] See also Figure 2In one embodiment, the control device 100 of the electronic cigarette of the present application further includes an oil filling monitoring module 140, which is used to obtain the oil filling parameters of the atomization bin this time and to re-determine the oil storage state of the atomization bin according to the oil filling parameters this time. Therefore, when the oil filling parameters this time are greater than or equal to the preset parameters, the oil filling to the atomization bin can be automatically stopped, thereby preventing oil waste and reducing the risk of oil leakage.

[0077] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, the electronic cigarette control device 100 further includes a safety prompt module 150, which is used to issue a prompt according to the oil storage state. Therefore, when the oil storage reaches a preset oil storage amount, the safety prompt module 150 issues an alarm prompt, which can further prevent oil from overflowing.
