[0034] In order to illustrate the technical solution described in this application, a specific embodiment is provided below for illustration.

[0035] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a smoking article control method is proposed, and the smoking article applicable to the method has the following structural features.

[0036] The smoking device includes a distance sensor, a cigarette cup for holding a cigarette cartridge, and a heating component for heating the cigarette cartridge. The cigarette cup is arranged in the accommodating cavity of the smoking device, and the distance sensor is arranged on the side wall of the cigarette cup toward the inside of the cigarette cup. A touch switch is arranged at the bottom of the cigarette cup.

[0037] Optionally, the distance sensor is, for example, an infrared sensor, an acoustic wave sensor, and the like.

[0038] Optionally, the cigarette cup is a cup-shaped structure with an opening and a bottom, and has a receiving cavity in the middle, and the cigarette cartridge can be pressed from the opening to the bottom and loaded into the receiving cavity.

[0039] When the cigarette cartridge is inserted, the touch switch arranged at the bottom of the cigarette cup will be triggered. The touch switch has a rebound function, and when the cigarette cartridge is taken out of the cigarette cup, the touch switch automatically rebounds to the state where there is no cigarette cartridge inserted in the cigarette cup.

[0040] Optionally, the heating methods of the smoking device include various forms such as internal center heating, external circumferential heating and mixed heating. In the form of external circumferential heating, the heating component can heat the cigarette cartridge at the bottom or surrounding side of the cigarette cup, and the heating component can be a heating block set at the corresponding position. In the form of internal center heating, the heating component can heat the center of the cigarette cartridge by inserting it into the cigarette cartridge, and the heating component can be a heating needle set at the corresponding position. In the form of mixed heating, the setting methods of the heating components in the above two forms can be included. During operation, the heating control of the heating component used in the corresponding heating form in the smoking device is realized through the set smoking device control method.

[0041] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in some optional specific embodiments, the structural features of the above-mentioned smoking articles are exemplarily described.

[0042] exist Figure 1 In the structure shown, the heating component 3 is arranged at the bottom of the accommodating cavity of the smoking device, and a through hole is provided at the bottom of the cigarette cup 2. The heating component 3 is inserted through the through hole and arranged in the cigarette cup 2 for heating the cigarette cartridge.

[0043] When the cigarette cartridge is loaded into the cigarette cup 2, the heating component 3 will be inserted into the cigarette cartridge to heat the cigarette cartridge at the center of the cigarette cartridge. Optionally, a resistance wire can be arranged on the heating component 3. When the consumer inhales, the cigarette cartridge is inserted into the cigarette cup 2, and the heating component 3 is inserted into the cigarette cup 2 to penetrate the tobacco part in the cigarette cartridge, and the battery is started to supply power to the resistor on the heating needle, and the resistance wire heats up to bake the tobacco part in the cigarette cartridge.

[0044] Optionally, Figure 1 In the figure, the distance sensor 1 passes through the side wall of the cigarette cup 2, and the sensing head of the distance sensor 1 is embedded in the inner wall of the cigarette cup 2 and is arranged toward the inside of the cigarette cup 2, so as to detect the distance inside the cigarette cup 2 to determine whether a cigarette cartridge is inserted into the cigarette cup 2.

[0045] Optionally, the touch switch 4 can be arranged around the heating component 3 at the bottom of the cigarette cup 2 (eg Figure 1 ), or it may be arranged at the bottom of the cigarette cup 2 on one side of the heating component 3 (not shown), and the position may be designed according to actual needs to meet product design requirements in different situations.

[0046] The smoking device also includes components such as a display screen, a heating circuit, a charging circuit, and touch buttons. Accordingly, the software configuration of the device includes corresponding functional modules, such as a display module, a heating module, a charging module, a button module, a touch module, and the like.

[0047] In an alternative embodiment, in combination Figure 2 As shown, a smoking device control method provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0048] Step 201, controlling the distance sensor to perform distance detection inside the cigarette cup to obtain a first distance value.

[0049] When the distance sensor is an acoustic wave sensor, the distance sensor is controlled to emit acoustic waves and receive echoes to achieve distance detection. The transmission distance can be calculated based on the time difference between the emission of the acoustic wave and the reception of the echo and the acoustic wave transmission speed to achieve distance detection. Alternatively, the transmission distance can be calculated based on the acoustic wave intensity loss between the emission of the acoustic wave and the reception of the echo to achieve distance detection.

[0050] Alternatively, the distance sensor is a light sensor, and the distance sensor is controlled to emit a light beam and receive a reflected light beam to achieve distance detection. The transmission distance can be calculated based on the time difference between the emission of the light beam and the reception of the reflected light beam and the light beam transmission speed to achieve distance detection. Alternatively, the transmission distance can be calculated based on the light beam intensity loss between the emission of the light beam and the reception of the reflected light beam to achieve distance detection.

[0051] In an optional implementation process, controlling the distance sensor to perform distance detection inside the cigarette cup to obtain a distance value includes:

[0052] Outputting a ranging signal to the distance sensor; obtaining a distance value calculated by the distance sensor based on the intensity loss information of the reflected light beam and the ranging light beam.

[0053] The ranging signal is used to control the distance sensor to emit a ranging beam into the cigarette cup and receive a reflected beam of the ranging beam. The ranging beam and the reflected beam can be infrared beams, etc.

[0054] Optionally, the intensity loss of the light beam may be calculated by an optical power meter, a spectrum analyzer, or the like.

[0055] In this way, by utilizing the intensity loss in light beam propagation to implement distance detection, it can effectively adapt to distance detection in a cigarette cup environment and ensure detection accuracy.

[0056] The process of implementing distance detection by the distance sensor can be applied to step 201, and is also applicable to the steps of performing distance detection by the distance sensor in subsequent embodiments.

[0057] Step 202: determine whether the first distance value is within a first distance range.

[0058] When the first distance value is within the first distance range, the process returns to step 201 to control the distance sensor to perform distance detection inside the cigarette cup.

[0059] Optionally, when the first distance value is within the first distance range, the process may return to step 201 at a set time interval, that is, execute a loop process of controlling the distance sensor to perform distance detection inside the cigarette cup next time.

[0060] The set time interval is, for example, 10 milliseconds, 15 milliseconds, etc. That is, the smoking device can collect the distance value in the smoking cup through the distance sensor every 10 milliseconds.

[0061] Optionally, the first distance range is used to determine whether the cigarette cup contains no cigarette cartridge.

[0062] When the first distance value is within the first distance range, it is confirmed that the cigarette cup does not contain a cigarette cartridge.

[0063] In some cases, the distance sensor may be disposed toward the heating component inside the cigarette cup, or toward the inner wall of the cigarette cup on the side opposite to the position of the distance sensor.

[0064] Correspondingly, the distance value within the first distance range corresponds to the relative distance value between the distance sensor and the heating component in the cigarette cup when the cigarette cup does not contain a cigarette cartridge, or corresponds to the relative distance value between the distance sensor and the inner wall of the cigarette cup on the side opposite to the distance sensor when the cigarette cup does not contain a cigarette cartridge.

[0065] In an optional implementation, when the cigarette cup does not contain a cigarette cartridge, the distance sensor is controlled to perform distance detection inside the cigarette cup to obtain a second distance value; the second distance value is superimposed on the set data floating range to obtain the first distance range.

[0066] Optionally, the second distance value may be the relative distance value between the aforementioned distance sensor and the heating component in the cigarette cup, or the relative distance value between the distance sensor and the inner wall of the cigarette cup on the side opposite to the distance sensor.

[0067] Optionally, a data floating range is set, for example, up and down 5 mm, 6 mm, etc.

[0068] Based on the situation that there is no cigarette cartridge in the cigarette cup, the pre-measurement setting of the relevant distance range can be realized, so as to facilitate the subsequent effective reference judgment of the situation that there is no cigarette cartridge in the cigarette cup.

[0069] Step 203: determine whether the first distance value is within the second distance range.

[0070] When the first distance value is within the second distance range, a heating signal is output to the heating component.

[0071] The heating signal is used to control the heating component to heat the cigarette cartridge in the cigarette cup.

[0072] Optionally, the second distance range is used to determine whether the cigarette cartridge is contained in the cigarette cup.

[0073] Optionally, the distance values ​​in the first distance range are greater than the distance values ​​in the second distance range.

[0074] When the first distance value is within the second distance range, it is confirmed that the user has inserted the cigarette cartridge into the cigarette cup, that is, it is confirmed that the cigarette cup contains a cigarette cartridge. In this case, the smoking device can automatically exit the standby state and control the heating component to start heating, realizing automatic start-up when the cigarette is inserted, so that the heating process of the smoking device is automatic and intelligent.

[0075] Optionally, the distance value within the second distance range corresponds to a relative distance value between the distance sensor and the cigarette cartridge when the cigarette cup contains a cigarette cartridge.

[0076] In an optional implementation, when a cigarette cartridge is contained in the cigarette cup, the distance sensor can be controlled to perform distance detection inside the cigarette cup to obtain a third distance value; the third distance value is superimposed on the set data floating range to obtain a second distance range.

[0077] Optionally, the third distance value may be the relative distance value between the aforementioned distance sensor and the cigarette cartridge.

[0078] Optionally, a data floating range is set, for example, up and down 5 mm, 6 mm, etc.

[0079] Based on the situation that the cigarette cup contains a cigarette cartridge, the pre-measurement setting of the relevant distance range can be realized, so as to facilitate the subsequent effective reference judgment of the situation that the cigarette cup contains a cigarette cartridge.

[0080] When the first distance value is not within the first distance range and the second distance range, step 204 is executed.

[0081] Step 204: if a touch signal triggered by the touch switch is received, a heating signal is output to the heating component for heating.

[0082] When the first distance value is not within the first distance range and the second distance range, it can be considered that the distance sensing result of the current distance sensor is abnormal. At this time, it is impossible to accurately determine whether a cigarette cartridge is inserted. Therefore, it is combined with whether the touch switch triggers the touch signal to determine whether there is a cigarette cartridge in the cigarette cup.

[0083] When the cigarette cartridge is inserted into the cigarette cup, it will touch the touch switch on the bottom of the cigarette cup. When the touch switch is touched, it means that the cigarette cartridge has been inserted and the heating of the smoking device can be started. When the distance sensor detection result is abnormal, it can effectively detect whether the cigarette cartridge is inserted in the cigarette cup, realize the self-starting function of heating when inserting cigarettes in the smoking device, and improve the automation and intelligence of the smoking device.

[0084] In the above-mentioned scheme of the embodiment of the present application, a distance sensor is set on the side wall of the cigarette cup in the smoking device and a touch switch is set on the bottom of the cigarette cup. The two can adapt to different situations to accurately detect whether a cigarette cartridge is inserted in the cigarette cup, realize the self-starting of the cigarette heating function in the smoking device, improve the automation and intelligence of the smoking device, and ensure a good user experience.

[0085] In some optional implementations, in order to detect whether the distance sensor is malfunctioning, the method in the present application further includes:

[0086] Output a functional test signal to the distance sensor to obtain the beam intensity loss value between the ranging beam and the reflected beam fed back by the distance sensor; when the beam intensity loss value is within the abnormal loss range, determine that the distance sensor is abnormal.

[0087] The functional test signal is used to control the distance sensor to emit a distance measuring beam into the cigarette cup and receive a reflected beam of the distance measuring beam.

[0088] Optionally, the normal loss range may correspond to a situation where both the transmitting end and the receiving end of the distance sensor are clean (for example, not covered by tobacco oil) and the tobacco cup does not contain a tobacco cartridge, and the distance sensor transmits a ranging beam toward the heating component in the tobacco cup and receives a beam intensity loss value corresponding to the reflected beam, or the distance sensor transmits a ranging beam toward the inner wall of the tobacco cup on the side opposite to the position of the distance sensor and receives a beam intensity loss value corresponding to the reflected beam.

[0089] Alternatively, the normal loss range may correspond to the beam intensity loss value corresponding to the distance sensor emitting a ranging beam toward the cigarette cartridge and receiving a reflected beam when both the transmitting end and the receiving end of the distance sensor are clean (e.g., not covered by cigarette oil) and the cigarette cup contains a cigarette cartridge.

[0090] Optionally, the beam intensity loss value can be measured by an optical power meter to measure the power of the emitted ranging beam, and after the beam is transmitted through a predetermined path, the power of the reflected beam after transmission is measured by the optical power meter. By comparing the power values ​​before and after transmission, the intensity loss value of the beam can be calculated.

[0091] Optionally, the normal loss range may be obtained by superimposing a set intensity loss floating range on the basis of the beam intensity loss value.

[0092] Optionally, the range outside the normal loss range may be regarded as the abnormal loss range.

[0093] Optionally, after determining that the distance sensor is abnormal, step 201 may not be performed, that is, the distance sensor in the abnormal state is not used to perform distance sensing to determine whether a cigarette cartridge is inserted into the cigarette cup.

[0094] In other embodiments, when the light beam intensity loss value is not within the abnormal loss range, step 201 is executed to control the distance sensor to perform distance detection inside the cigarette cup to obtain a first distance value.

[0095] By detecting and identifying the functional effectiveness of the distance sensor in the smoking device, we can avoid using a functionally invalid distance sensor to implement distance detection, avoid false start of heating due to inaccurate distance detection results, ensure accurate detection of whether the smoking device contains a cigarette cartridge, improve the effectiveness of the smoking device's self-start function of heating when inserting a cigarette, and ensure that users have a good user experience.

[0096] Considering that the heating of the cigarette cartridge in the cigarette cup environment will produce smoke oil, it may cover the distance sensor and affect the distance measurement sensitivity, and affect the emission or reception of the light beam. The above processing process, by adopting the light beam propagation and using the intensity loss method to implement the distance calculation, can determine whether the current distance sensor is blocked by the smoke oil, causing the distance sensor function to be abnormal, ensure that the distance sensor is in a normal and effective operating state when performing distance detection, ensure the normal operation of the self-start function of the cigarette plug-in heating, and improve the user experience.

[0097] In some optional implementations, when the beam intensity loss value is within the abnormal loss range, after determining that the distance sensor is abnormal, the method further includes:

[0098] If a touch signal triggered by the touch switch is received, a heating signal is output to the heating component for heating.

[0099] After determining that the distance sensor is abnormal, it can be considered that it is impossible to accurately determine whether a cigarette cartridge is inserted in the cigarette cup through the distance sensor. Therefore, it will be combined with whether the touch switch triggers the touch signal to determine whether there is a cigarette cartridge in the cigarette cup. When the touch signal triggered by the touch switch is received, it can be considered that there is a cigarette cartridge in the cigarette cup, and the heating of the smoking device can be started, realizing the self-starting function of heating the cigarette inserted in the smoking device, thereby improving the automation and intelligence of the smoking device.

[0100] In some optional embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0101] When the time duration during which the aforementioned first distance value is in the first distance range exceeds a threshold, a cigarette plugging reminder message is output; or, when the first distance value is not in the first distance range and the second distance range, if no touch signal triggered by the touch switch is received, a cigarette plugging reminder message is output.

[0102] Among them, the cigarette insertion prompt information is used to remind the user that there is no cigarette cartridge in the current cigarette cup, please insert the cigarette cartridge.

[0103] Optionally, the cigarette insertion prompt information may include voice prompt information and / or text prompt information. A display screen, a voice broadcast device, etc. may be provided in the smoking device.

[0104] In this way, through information interaction with the user, the user can be reminded to plug in the cigarette in time, thereby improving the user experience.

[0105] It should be understood that, although the various steps in the flowcharts involved in the above-mentioned embodiments are displayed in sequence according to the indication of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in sequence according to the order indicated by the arrows. Unless there is a clear explanation in this article, the execution of these steps does not have a strict order restriction, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least a part of the steps in the flowcharts involved in the above-mentioned embodiments can include multiple steps or multiple stages, and these steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times, and the execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily to be carried out in sequence, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least a part of the steps or stages in other steps.
