DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the technical solution of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0020] refer to Figure 1 , which is an exemplary flow chart of a method for measuring the concentration of electronic cigarette smoke according to some embodiments of the present application, and the method for measuring the concentration of electronic cigarette smoke mainly includes the following steps: In step 101, photoelectric sensors are arranged at the smoke inlet and smoke outlet of the electronic cigarette, and a fixed light source is used to emit scattered light to the photoelectric sensors to collect photoelectric distribution information of the scattered light received by the photoelectric sensors.

[0021] It should be noted that, in the present application, the photoelectric distribution information is a photoelectric signal used to reflect the scattering of light beams by smoke particles; the photoelectric sensor is a non-contact sensor based on the photoelectric effect; and the fixed light source refers to a light source device that provides a stable and continuous light beam.

[0022] In specific implementation, photoelectric sensors are installed at the smoke inlet and smoke outlet of the electronic cigarette respectively, and a stable light source (for example: laser diode) is selected to emit a light beam at a fixed angle and power to ensure consistent lighting conditions. The light emitted by the light source is scattered on the smoke particles, and the scattered light signal is received by the photoelectric sensor and converted into an electrical signal. In order to improve the signal quality, a highly sensitive photoelectric detector such as a photodiode or a photomultiplier tube can be used, and equipped with a narrow-band filter to reduce ambient light interference. The acquisition system needs to include an analog-to-digital conversion module to convert the analog photoelectric signal into a digital signal, and combine the signal amplification and filtering circuit to enhance the signal strength and reduce noise.

[0023] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2As described, the figure is a cross-sectional structural diagram of the electronic cigarette shown in some embodiments of the present application, which shows the internal structure of the electronic cigarette, including key components such as the lampshade, light-emitting diode (LED), lithium battery, stainless steel tube, switch assembly, electrode ring, copper parts and atomization chamber, as well as the corrosion path that may be caused by leakage of tobacco oil. The electronic cigarette is powered by a lithium battery, which heats the tobacco oil in the atomization chamber to generate steam, simulating the smoking experience.

[0024] In step 102, the photoelectric distribution information is subjected to particle inversion to obtain density data of smoke particles inside the electronic cigarette, and density distribution characteristics of the electronic cigarette smoke particles at the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet are extracted from the density data, and then the smoke concentration inside the electronic cigarette is determined through the density distribution characteristics at the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet.

[0025] In some embodiments, the photoelectric distribution information is subjected to particle inversion to obtain density data of smoke particles inside the electronic cigarette, which can be achieved by the following steps: Filtering out an inlet photoelectric signal and an outlet photoelectric signal of the electronic cigarette from the photoelectric distribution information; The entrance photoelectric signal is inverted and calculated based on the scattering model to obtain an entrance density distribution diagram of smoke particles at the entrance of the electronic cigarette smoke; Inversely calculate the outlet photoelectric signal based on the scattering model to obtain an outlet density distribution diagram of smoke particles at the outlet of the electronic cigarette smoke; The density data of smoke particles inside the electronic cigarette is determined by the inlet density distribution diagram and the outlet density distribution diagram.

[0026] In specific implementation, firstly, the inlet photoelectric signal and outlet photoelectric signal of the electronic cigarette are screened out from the photoelectric distribution information, which can be implemented in the following manner, namely: the photoelectric signal collected at the entrance of the electronic cigarette smoke in the photoelectric distribution information is used as the inlet photoelectric signal of the electronic cigarette, and the photoelectric signal collected at the exit of the electronic cigarette smoke in the photoelectric distribution information is used as the exit photoelectric signal of the electronic cigarette; secondly, the inlet photoelectric signal is inverted and calculated based on the scattering model to obtain the inlet density distribution diagram of the smoke particles at the entrance of the electronic cigarette smoke, which can be implemented in the following manner, namely: the inlet photoelectric signal is inverted and calculated based on the scattering model of the Mie scattering theory to obtain the density value of the smoke particles at each spatial point at the entrance of the electronic cigarette smoke, thereby mapping all density values ​​to the spatial coordinate system according to the position of the spatial point as the electronic cigarette an inlet density distribution diagram of smoke particles at the smoke inlet; then, inverting and calculating the outlet photoelectric signal based on the scattering model to obtain the outlet density distribution diagram of smoke particles at the electronic cigarette smoke outlet can be achieved in the following manner, namely: inverting and calculating the inlet photoelectric signal based on the scattering model of the Mie scattering theory to obtain the density values ​​of smoke particles at each spatial point at the electronic cigarette smoke inlet, thereby mapping all density values ​​to the spatial coordinate system according to the position of the spatial point as the inlet density distribution diagram of smoke particles at the electronic cigarette smoke inlet; finally, determining the density data of smoke particles inside the electronic cigarette through the inlet density distribution diagram and the outlet density distribution diagram can be achieved in the following manner, namely: taking the set of the inlet density distribution diagram and the outlet density distribution diagram as the density data of smoke particles inside the electronic cigarette.

[0027] It should be noted that the density data represents the distribution of smoke particles at different spatial positions; the entrance photoelectric signal represents the photoelectric signal received by the sensor at the smoke entrance, and the exit photoelectric signal represents the photoelectric signal received by the sensor at the smoke exit; the entrance density distribution diagram represents the spatial distribution and concentration of smoke particles at the smoke entrance; the exit density distribution diagram represents the spatial distribution and concentration of smoke particles at the smoke exit; Mie scattering theory is a physical model that describes the interaction between light and tiny particles (such as smoke particles), which is mainly used to calculate the intensity and direction of scattering of a light beam when it passes through particles. In this application, the scattering model calculates the density value of smoke particles at each spatial point by inputting photoelectric signals (such as the scattering effect of smoke particles on light) and combining information such as the size, shape and distribution of the particles.

[0028] In some embodiments, respectively extracting the density distribution characteristics of the electronic cigarette smoke particles at the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet from the density data can be achieved by using the following steps: Extracting density statistical features of the inlet density distribution map in the density data, and then performing feature dimension reduction on the density statistical features to obtain density distribution features of electronic cigarette smoke particles at the smoke inlet; The density statistical features of the outlet density distribution map in the density data are extracted, and then the density statistical features are subjected to feature dimension reduction to obtain the density distribution features of the electronic cigarette smoke particles at the smoke outlet.

[0029] In specific implementation, first, the density statistical features of the entrance density distribution map in the density data are extracted, and then the density statistical features are subjected to feature dimensionality reduction, and the density distribution features of the electronic cigarette smoke particles at the smoke entrance can be obtained by the following method, namely: the gradient value, mean and variance of all density values ​​in the entrance density distribution map of the density data are calculated as density statistical features, and the density statistical features of the entrance density distribution map in the density data can be obtained. In other embodiments, in order to enhance the expression ability of the features, the kernel density estimation method can be used to smooth all density values, and the probability density function is calculated and added to the density statistical features, which is not limited here; the principal component analysis algorithm is used to reduce the dimension of the density statistical features, and the principal component that best represents the entrance density distribution is selected, thereby removing redundant information and improving calculation efficiency, so that the density statistical features after dimensionality reduction are used as the density distribution features of the electronic cigarette smoke particles at the smoke entrance.

[0030] It should be noted that, in this application, density distribution features are features used to describe the spatial distribution law of smoke concentration; density statistical features are used to describe the overall features of smoke particle density; kernel density estimation method is a non-parametric method for estimating the probability density function of random variables. By using a smooth kernel function (such as a Gaussian kernel) on the data points, the kernel density estimation method can generate a smooth distribution curve around the data points, thereby approximating the true distribution of the data. In this application, the kernel density estimation method is used to smooth all density values ​​in the inlet density distribution map, making the data more continuous and smooth, which helps to more accurately calculate the probability density function of the density value and enhance the expression ability of the feature; principal component analysis algorithm is a The purpose of commonly used dimensionality reduction techniques is to map data from high-dimensional space to low-dimensional space through linear transformation while retaining the most important information in the data. The principal component analysis algorithm calculates the covariance matrix of the data and solves its eigenvalues ​​and eigenvectors, selects the eigenvectors corresponding to the first few largest eigenvalues ​​as new coordinate axes, and obtains new principal components. In this way, the principal component analysis algorithm can remove redundant information in the data, reduce the data dimension, and extract the most representative features. In this application, the principal component analysis algorithm is used to reduce the dimensionality of density statistical features, thereby reducing the computational complexity and screening out the principal components that best represent the inlet density distribution, which helps to improve the efficiency and accuracy of subsequent analysis.

[0031] Then, the density statistical features of the outlet density distribution map in the density data are extracted, and then the density statistical features are subjected to feature dimensionality reduction, and the density distribution features of the electronic cigarette smoke particles at the smoke outlet are obtained, which can be achieved in the following way, namely: the gradient value, mean, probability density function and variance of all density values ​​in the outlet density distribution map of the density data can be calculated using the above method as the density statistical features of the outlet density distribution map in the density data, and the density statistical features are subjected to dimensionality reduction using principal component analysis, and the density statistical features after dimensionality reduction are used as the density distribution features of the electronic cigarette smoke particles at the smoke outlet.

[0032] In some embodiments, determining the smoke concentration inside the electronic cigarette by the density distribution characteristics at the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet can be achieved by the following steps: Performing spatial interpolation on the smoke concentration inside the electronic cigarette based on the density distribution characteristics at the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet to obtain the local smoke concentration at each spatial point inside the electronic cigarette; The amount of smoke concentration inside the electronic cigarette is determined based on all local smoke concentrations.

[0033] In specific implementation, first, spatial interpolation is performed on the smoke concentration inside the electronic cigarette through the density distribution characteristics at the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet to obtain the local smoke concentration of each spatial point inside the electronic cigarette. This can be achieved in the following manner, namely: a spatial coordinate system inside the electronic cigarette is established, and all density values ​​of the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet are projected into the spatial coordinate system to form a known point data set. A radial basis function interpolation algorithm can be selected to estimate the smoke concentration of each spatial point inside the electronic cigarette, and the density distribution characteristics at the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet are used as the density change trend of the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet in the estimation, so that the estimated value of the smoke concentration at each spatial point is used as the local smoke concentration, and the local smoke concentration of each spatial point inside the electronic cigarette can be obtained; then, the smoke concentration amount inside the electronic cigarette is determined according to all the local smoke concentrations. This can be achieved in the following manner, namely: the average of all the local smoke concentrations can be used as the smoke concentration amount inside the electronic cigarette.

[0034] It should be noted that the smoke concentration is the quantitative value of the overall smoke concentration inside the electronic cigarette; the local smoke concentration is the smoke concentration value at a specific spatial point inside the electronic cigarette; the radial basis function interpolation algorithm is a mathematical method for spatial data interpolation, which is suitable for estimating the numerical distribution of unknown points based on a limited number of observation points. Its core principle is to use the radial basis function as a weight function and take known data points (such as the density distribution characteristics at the inlet and outlet of the electronic cigarette smoke) as control points. By calculating the influence weights of these control points on any spatial point, the smoke concentration of each spatial point is inferred. In this application, the density change trend at the smoke inlet and smoke outlet is used as the distribution feature of the control point. Through radial basis function interpolation, the smoke concentration estimation value of each spatial point inside the electronic cigarette is made to conform to the overall smoke diffusion characteristics, and finally the distribution of local smoke concentration is obtained, thereby realizing accurate spatial estimation of smoke concentration.

[0035] In step 103, the attenuation interference of the temperature and humidity inside the electronic cigarette on the photoelectric intensity is determined, and the interference difference characteristics of the photoelectric intensity between the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet inside the electronic cigarette are determined by combining the attenuation interference with the temperature and humidity difference between the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet of the electronic cigarette.

[0036] In some embodiments, determining the attenuation interference of the temperature and humidity inside the electronic cigarette on the photoelectric intensity can be achieved by using the following steps: Collect historical photoelectric propagation data inside the electronic cigarette, and obtain the temperature and humidity range inside the electronic cigarette; Dividing the temperature and humidity interval into a plurality of interference intervals based on a temperature and humidity influence model; Extracting interference values ​​of temperature and humidity on photoelectric intensity attenuation in each interference interval from the historical photoelectric propagation data; The attenuation interference of the temperature and humidity inside the electronic cigarette on the photoelectric intensity is determined through all interference values.

[0037] In specific implementation, the historical photoelectric propagation data inside the electronic cigarette is collected, and the temperature and humidity range inside the electronic cigarette is obtained in the following manner, namely: the photoelectric intensity record during the propagation of scattered light inside the electronic cigarette in a specified time period (within 1 week by default) is obtained from the cloud database of the electronic cigarette, and the set of all photoelectric intensity records is used as the historical photoelectric propagation data. At the same time, the temperature and humidity values ​​inside the electronic cigarette in the specified time period (within 1 week by default) are obtained from the cloud database of the electronic cigarette, so as to screen out the maximum and minimum values ​​of the temperature and humidity values, and take the interval from the minimum value to the maximum value as the temperature and humidity range inside the electronic cigarette; secondly, the temperature and humidity range is divided into multiple interference ranges based on the temperature and humidity influence model, which can be implemented in the following manner, namely: the temperature and humidity influence model based on the clustering algorithm can be used to cluster the frequency of the temperature and humidity range in all temperature and humidity values ​​to obtain multiple temperature and humidity clustering clusters, each clustering cluster represents a temperature and humidity range with a similar degree of influence on the attenuation of the photoelectric intensity, so that the set of all temperature and humidity values ​​corresponding to each clustering cluster can be used as the interference range, and multiple interference ranges can be obtained.

[0038] Then, in specific implementation, the interference value of the temperature and humidity on the attenuation of the photoelectric intensity in each interference interval is extracted from the historical photoelectric propagation data, which can be implemented in the following way, namely: for each interference interval, all photoelectric intensity records whose temperature and humidity are in the interference interval are screened out from the historical photoelectric propagation data, and the difference between the emission intensity and the receiving intensity in each photoelectric intensity record is calculated as the attenuation value of the photoelectric intensity, so as to take the standard deviation of all attenuation values ​​as the attenuation interference of the temperature and humidity inside the electronic cigarette on the photoelectric intensity; determining the attenuation interference of the temperature and humidity inside the electronic cigarette on the photoelectric intensity through all interference values ​​can be implemented in the following way, namely: taking the set of all interference values ​​as the attenuation interference of the temperature and humidity inside the electronic cigarette on the photoelectric intensity.

[0039] It should be noted that in the present application, attenuation interference indicates the degree of influence of temperature and humidity changes inside the electronic cigarette on the attenuation of photoelectric signal intensity; historical photoelectric propagation data indicates the historical records of photoelectric signal propagation inside the electronic cigarette under different temperature and humidity conditions; temperature and humidity range indicates the range of different temperature and humidity conditions inside the electronic cigarette; interference range is the temperature and humidity range used to evaluate the interference effect under different external environmental conditions; interference value refers to the quantitative influence value of temperature and humidity on the attenuation of photoelectric intensity.

[0040] In some embodiments, the interference difference characteristics of the photoelectric intensity between the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet of the electronic cigarette can be determined by combining the attenuation interference with the temperature and humidity difference between the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet of the electronic cigarette, which can be achieved by the following steps: Obtaining the temperature and humidity characteristics of the electronic cigarette smoke inlet and smoke outlet, and then determining the temperature and humidity difference between the electronic cigarette smoke inlet and smoke outlet; Extract the interference value of the temperature and humidity characteristics at the electronic cigarette smoke inlet and smoke outlet on the photoelectric intensity attenuation from the attenuation interference, and then determine the interference difference value between the electronic cigarette smoke inlet and smoke outlet; The interference difference characteristic of the photoelectric intensity between the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet inside the electronic cigarette is determined according to the temperature and humidity difference and the interference difference value.

[0041] In specific implementation, first, the temperature and humidity characteristics of the electronic cigarette smoke inlet and the smoke outlet are obtained, and then the temperature and humidity difference between the electronic cigarette smoke inlet and the smoke outlet is determined, which can be achieved in the following manner, namely: temperature and humidity sensors are arranged at the electronic cigarette smoke inlet and the smoke outlet respectively, and the set of temperature values ​​and humidity values ​​at the electronic cigarette smoke inlet is monitored as the temperature and humidity characteristics of the electronic cigarette smoke inlet, and the set of temperature values ​​and humidity values ​​at the electronic cigarette smoke outlet is monitored as the temperature and humidity characteristics of the electronic cigarette smoke outlet, and the absolute value of the difference in humidity values ​​in the temperature and humidity characteristics between the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet is used as the humidity difference, and the absolute value of the difference in temperature values ​​in the temperature and humidity characteristics between the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet is used as the temperature difference, so that the set of humidity difference and temperature difference is used as the temperature and humidity difference between the electronic cigarette smoke inlet and the smoke outlet; then, the interference value of the temperature and humidity characteristics at the electronic cigarette smoke inlet and the smoke outlet on the attenuation of the photoelectric intensity is extracted from the attenuation interference, and then the interference difference value between the electronic cigarette smoke inlet and the smoke outlet is determined, which can be achieved in the following manner, namely :The interference value of the interference interval where the temperature value and humidity value in the temperature and humidity characteristics of the electronic cigarette smoke inlet are located is selected from the attenuation interference as the interference value of the temperature and humidity characteristics of the electronic cigarette smoke inlet on the attenuation of the photoelectric intensity; the interference value of the interference interval where the temperature and humidity value in the temperature and humidity characteristics of the electronic cigarette smoke outlet are located is selected from the attenuation interference as the interference value of the temperature and humidity characteristics of the electronic cigarette smoke outlet on the attenuation of the photoelectric intensity, so that the absolute value of the difference between the two interference values ​​can be used as the interference difference value between the electronic cigarette smoke inlet and the smoke outlet; finally, the interference difference feature of the photoelectric intensity between the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet inside the electronic cigarette is determined according to the temperature and humidity difference and the interference difference value. The following method can be used to achieve this, namely: construct a multivariate regression model, combine the temperature and humidity difference with the interference difference value, and calculate the interference difference feature of the photoelectric intensity between the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet inside the electronic cigarette, that is, the interference difference feature=m*temperature and humidity difference+n*interference difference value+p, wherein m, n, p are parameters of the multivariate regression model, which are obtained by training with historical operation data.

[0042] It should be noted that in the present application, the interference difference characteristic represents the differentiated performance of the interference of temperature and humidity changes in different areas of the electronic cigarette on the attenuation of the photoelectric signal; the temperature and humidity characteristic represents the temperature and humidity information inside the electronic cigarette, and the temperature and humidity difference represents the difference in temperature and humidity at the smoke inlet and the smoke outlet; the interference difference value represents the numerical difference in the attenuation interference of the photoelectric signal caused by the temperature and humidity difference.

[0043] In step 104, the smoke concentration is purified and compensated by using the interference difference feature to obtain the net smoke concentration inside the electronic cigarette.

[0044] In some embodiments, the smoke concentration is purified and compensated by the interference difference feature to obtain the net smoke concentration inside the electronic cigarette, referring to Figure 3 As described above, the figure is a schematic diagram of the process of determining the net smoke concentration in some embodiments of the present application. In this embodiment, the net smoke concentration can be determined by the following steps: In step 1041, a purification compensation model based on temperature and humidity weight distribution is initialized; In step 1042, the interference difference feature is used as a correction parameter of the purification compensation model; In step 1043, the smoke concentration is corrected using the purification compensation model after the correction parameters are updated (ie, purification compensation is performed on the smoke concentration) to obtain the net smoke concentration inside the electronic cigarette.

[0045] It should be noted that the net smoke concentration represents the real smoke concentration value after removing the interference of environmental factors.
