[0044] In the following description, for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, specific details such as specific system structures, technologies, etc. are proposed, so as to thoroughly understand the embodiments of the present application. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the present application can also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, the detailed description of well-known systems, devices, circuits and methods is omitted to prevent unnecessary details from hindering the description of the present application. In addition, in the description of the present application specification and the attached claims, the terms "first", "second", "third" etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be interpreted as indicating or suggesting relative importance.

[0045] Some heating-not-burning appliances distinguish between cold and hot machine temperature curves. When the startup state is a cold machine state, the temperature curve corresponding to the cold machine state is used. When the startup state is a hot machine state, the temperature curve corresponding to the hot machine state is used. However, when using the appliance, the user cannot know whether the appliance is in a cold machine state or a hot machine state.

[0046] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a method, device, controller and heating-not-burning appliance startup status prompting method, device, controller and heating-not-burning appliance, which can prompt the startup status through the display device of the appliance so that the user can know whether the appliance is in a cold state or a hot state. For more specific technical implementation details of the embodiments of the present application, please refer to the various embodiments described below.

[0047] like Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a heating without burning appliance provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 The heating-not-burning device shown includes a controller, a heating element, and a battery module, wherein the controller is electrically connected to the heating element and the battery module, respectively. The controller can be used to control the temperature of the heating element, and the heating element can be heated up under the control of the controller to bake the aerosol-generating matrix, and the battery module is used to provide electrical energy to the controller and the heating element.

[0048] It should be understood that the executor of each method embodiment of the present application is a controller provided in the heating without burning appliance, for example, it can be a device such as the main control chip of the heating without burning appliance, and the embodiments of the present application do not impose any restrictions on the specific type of the controller.

[0049] See also Figure 2 , shows a method for prompting a startup status of a heating-not-burning appliance provided in an embodiment of the present application, comprising:

[0050] 201. When the heating without combustion appliance enters the preheating stage, determining the startup state of the heating without combustion appliance;

[0051] The heating-not-burning appliance begins the preheating operation after startup, and the controller controls the heating of the heating element according to the stored standard temperature curve. The standard temperature curve usually includes two parts: the preheating stage and the suction stage. The preheating stage can be divided into the preheating temperature rise stage and the preheating stabilization stage. When the preheating process begins, it first enters the preheating temperature rise stage. The appliance controls the heating element to heat up from the ambient temperature to the set maximum preheating temperature through full power output. After the maximum preheating temperature is maintained for a certain period of time, it cools down and enters the preheating stabilization stage. In the preheating stabilization stage, the heating element will be controlled to maintain a certain set temperature for insulation until the end of the preheating stage.

[0052] The startup status of some appliances has a distinction between cold and hot machines, that is, it can be divided into starting the appliance in the cold state and starting the appliance in the hot state. The cold state indicates that the initial temperature of the heating element of the appliance that heats but does not burn is lower than the preset critical value, and the hot state indicates that the initial temperature of the heating element is higher than the preset critical value. By reading the temperature curve stored in the storage device such as the register Flash for analysis, it can be determined whether the startup status of the current appliance has a distinction between cold and hot machines. In the case of a distinction between cold and hot machines, when the appliance enters the preheating stage, it is determined whether the startup status of the appliance is a cold state or a hot state. Specifically, it can include two methods: judging according to the temperature of the heating element and judging according to the energy of the heating element. They are explained below.

[0053] In one implementation of the embodiment of the present application, determining the startup state of the heating without burning appliance includes:

[0054] (1) Obtaining the ambient temperature of the heating-not-burning device, the current resistance value of the heating element, the initial resistance value of the heating element, and the resistance temperature coefficient of the heating element;

[0055] (2) Calculate the current temperature of the heating element according to the ambient temperature, the current resistance value, the initial resistance value and the resistance temperature coefficient;

[0056] (3) If the current temperature is higher than the preset critical value, the startup state is determined to be a hot engine state;

[0057] (4) If the current temperature is lower than the preset critical value, the startup state is determined to be a cold machine state.

[0058] If the method of judging based on the temperature of the heating element is adopted, the heating element resistance calculation function is called to calculate the current resistance value R2 of the heating element, and the initial resistance value R1 and resistance temperature coefficient TCR of the heating element stored in the device are obtained, as well as the current ambient temperature T of the device. 室温 Then we can use the formula T 当前 =((R2-R1) / (R1*TCR))+T 室温 Calculate the current temperature T of the heating element 当前 , T 当前 It can be regarded as the initial temperature of the heating element. Determine the current temperature T of the heating element 当前 Is it higher than the preset critical value (a certain set thermal threshold temperature)? If the current temperature T 当前 If the current temperature T 当前 If the temperature is lower than the preset critical value, the startup state of the appliance is determined to be a cold state, that is, the initial temperature of the heating element is lower than the preset critical value.

[0059] In another implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the preheating stage includes a preheating temperature rising stage and a preheating stabilization stage; determining the startup state of the heating without burning appliance includes:

[0060] (1) Detect the accumulated energy value generated by the heating element;

[0061] (2) If the accumulated energy value reaches the standard energy value during the preheating stage, the startup state is determined to be the hot engine state, and the system jumps to the preheating stabilization stage; wherein the standard energy value is the total energy generated by the heating element during the preheating stage determined according to the standard temperature curve;

[0062] (3) If the accumulated energy value does not reach the standard energy value during the preheating stage, the startup state is determined to be a cold machine state.

[0063] If the method of judging based on the energy of the heating element is adopted, the accumulated energy value generated by the heating element is detected. The accumulated energy value is positively correlated with the temperature of the heating element and the heating time. During the preheating process of the appliance, the controller can continuously detect and record the real-time temperature of the heating element, thereby drawing the actual temperature curve. The accumulated energy value can be regarded as the area enclosed by the actual temperature curve and the time axis, which can be calculated by integrating. Specifically, since the integral can be decomposed into the accumulated value of the area of ​​the cuboid in multiple unit times, the accumulated energy value can be calculated using the formula P=Σ(T 当前 -T 前一时刻 ) 2 ×Δt is calculated, where T 当前 Indicates the actual temperature of the heating element at the current moment, T 前一时刻It represents the actual temperature of the heating element at the previous moment, Δt represents the time difference between the two moments. If the heating element temperature calculation function of the appliance is called every 100ms, then Δt = 100ms. As the preheating time goes by, the accumulated energy value generated by the heating element will continue to increase. It is judged whether the accumulated energy value reaches the preset standard energy value during the preheating stage. If the standard energy value is reached, the startup state of the appliance can be determined to be the hot machine state, and it will jump directly from the preheating stage to the preheating stabilization stage, which shortens the preheating time of the preheating stage. If the accumulated energy value does not reach the standard energy value during the preheating stage, it is determined that the startup state is the cold machine state. At this time, it will not jump directly from the preheating stage to the preheating stabilization stage, which means that the preheating time of the preheating stage remains unchanged. When the initial temperature of the heating element is high, the cumulative energy value generated by the heating element in the preheating stage increases at a faster rate, so the cumulative energy value will reach the standard energy value during the preheating stage, and at this time, it can be accurately determined that the startup state of the appliance is a hot state. On the contrary, when the initial temperature of the heating element is low, the cumulative energy value generated by the heating element in the preheating stage increases at a slower rate, so the cumulative energy value will not reach the standard energy value during the preheating stage, and at this time, it can be accurately determined that the startup state of the appliance is a cold state.

[0064] In actual operation, the appliance may be provided with a changeable cold and hot machine distinction flag, and the cold and hot machine distinction flag is used to select the judgment method of the cold and hot machine status. For example, if the cold and hot machine distinction flag is 1, the above-mentioned judgment method based on the temperature of the heating element is adopted, and if the cold and hot machine distinction flag is 2, the above-mentioned judgment method based on the energy of the heating element is adopted.

[0065] 202. According to the startup state, control the display device of the heating without burning appliance to perform a corresponding display action.

[0066] After determining the startup state of the appliance, the display device of the appliance is controlled to perform corresponding display actions according to the startup state, that is, different display actions correspond to the cold state and the hot state. The appliance is usually provided with display devices such as a liquid crystal display or an LED indicator light, and these display devices can be used to intuitively and conveniently prompt the startup state of the appliance. For example, assuming that the display device is a liquid crystal display, when the startup state is a cold state, "cold machine" can be displayed through the liquid crystal display, and when the startup state is a hot state, "hot machine" can be displayed through the liquid crystal display. For another example, assuming that the display device is a red LED light and a blue LED light, when the startup state is a cold state, the blue LED light can be controlled to be always on or flashing, and when the startup state is a hot state, the red LED light can be controlled to be always on or flashing. By observing the different display actions of the display device, the user can easily know whether the appliance is in a cold state or a hot state.

[0067] By using different display actions of the display device provided in the device, in addition to being able to indicate the current startup state of the device, it is also possible to indicate the completion progress of the preheating stage of the device, as well as the remaining puffing time and the remaining number of puffs of the device. See below for specific instructions.

[0068] In one implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the display device includes at least one first indicator light and at least one second indicator light; according to the startup state, the display device of the heating non-combustion appliance is controlled to perform corresponding display actions, including:

[0069] (1) If the startup state is a hot engine state, controlling the on and off actions of at least one first indicator light and at least one second indicator light according to the duration of the preheating stage;

[0070] (2) If the startup state is a cold machine state, the on and off action of at least one first indicator light is controlled according to the duration of the preheating stage.

[0071] Assuming that the display device includes at least one first indicator light and at least one second indicator light, the at least one first indicator light and the at least one second indicator light can be used to simultaneously indicate the startup state of the appliance and the completion progress of the preheating stage. Specifically, if the startup state of the appliance is a hot state, the at least one first indicator light and the at least one second indicator light are controlled to turn on and off according to the duration of the preheating stage. If the startup state of the appliance is a cold state, the at least one first indicator light is controlled to turn on and off according to the duration of the preheating stage. For example, assuming that the at least one first indicator light is 4 white LED lights, and the at least one second indicator light includes 1 red LED light, then when the startup state is the hot engine state, as the time of the preheating stage changes, the red LED light and 3 of the white LED lights can be controlled to light up or flash in sequence, for example, the red LED light is lit or flashed for 0%-25% of the preheating stage, the red LED light and 1 white LED light are lit or flashed for 25%-50% of the preheating stage, the red LED light and 2 white LED lights are lit or flashed for 50%-75% of the preheating stage, and the red LED light and 3 white LED lights are lit or flashed for 75%-100% of the preheating stage. When the startup state is the cold machine state, as the time of the preheating stage changes, the four white LED lights can be controlled to light up or flash in sequence, for example, 1 white LED light is lit or flashed at 0%-25% of the preheating stage, 2 white LED lights are lit or flashed at 25%-50% of the preheating stage, 3 white LED lights are lit or flashed at 50%-75% of the preheating stage, and 4 white LED lights are lit or flashed at 75%-100% of the preheating stage. This control method is suitable for determining the startup state in the early stage of the preheating stage, that is, the above-mentioned method of judging according to the temperature of the heating element. Through such a setting, the user can easily know the current startup state of the appliance and the completion progress of the preheating stage by observing the on and off actions of each indicator light.

[0072] In another implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the display device includes at least one first indicator light and at least one second indicator light; according to the startup state, the display device of the heating non-combustion appliance is controlled to perform corresponding display actions, including:

[0073] (1) If the startup state is a hot engine state, controlling the on and off actions of at least one first indicator light and at least one second indicator light according to the duration of the preheating stabilization phase;

[0074] (2) If the startup state is a cold machine state, the on and off action of at least one first indicator light is controlled according to the duration of the preheating stabilization phase.

[0075] This control method is suitable for the judgment method that the startup state can be determined after the preheating and heating stage is over, that is, the above-mentioned judgment method based on the energy of the heating element. Specifically, if the startup state of the device is a hot machine state, the on and off actions of the at least one first indicator light and the at least one second indicator light are controlled according to the duration of the preheating stable stage. If the startup state of the device is a cold machine state, the on and off actions of the at least one first indicator light are controlled according to the duration of the preheating stable stage. Since the preheating stable stage has been entered after the startup state of the device is determined, the completion progress of the preheating stable stage is prompted by the on and off actions of the indicator light. For example, when the startup state is the hot engine state, as the time of the preheating stabilization stage changes, the red LED lamp and three of the white LED lamps can be controlled to light up or flash in sequence, for example, the red LED lamp is lit or flashed for 0%-25% of the preheating stabilization stage, the red LED lamp and one white LED lamp are lit or flashed for 25%-50% of the preheating stabilization stage, the red LED lamp and two white LED lamps are lit or flashed for 50%-75% of the preheating stabilization stage, and the red LED lamp and three white LED lamps are lit or flashed for 75%-100% of the preheating stabilization stage. When the startup state is the cold machine state, as the time of the preheating stabilization stage changes, the four white LED lights can be controlled to light up or flash in sequence, for example, 1 white LED light is lit or flashed at 0%-25% of the preheating stabilization stage, 2 white LED lights are lit or flashed at 25%-50% of the preheating stabilization stage, 3 white LED lights are lit or flashed at 50%-75% of the preheating stabilization stage, and 4 white LED lights are lit or flashed at 75%-100% of the preheating stabilization stage. Through such a setting, the user can easily know the current startup state of the appliance and the completion progress of the preheating stabilization stage by observing the on and off actions of each indicator light.

[0076] In an implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the display device includes at least one first indicator light and at least one second indicator light; the method further includes:

[0077] When the heating without burning appliance enters the puffing stage, the on and off actions of at least one first indicator light are controlled according to the remaining puffing time of the heating without burning appliance, and the on and off actions of at least one second indicator light are controlled according to the remaining number of puffs of the heating without burning appliance.

[0078] After the preheating stage is finished, the device enters the puffing stage. Different display devices can be used to distinguish the remaining puffing time and the remaining number of puffs of the device, so that the user can intuitively know the two parameters. Specifically, the display device may include at least one first indicator light and at least one second indicator light, wherein at least one first indicator light is used to indicate the remaining puffing time, and at least one second indicator light is used to indicate the remaining number of puffs. When the device enters the puffing stage, the on and off action of the at least one first indicator light is controlled according to the remaining puffing time of the heating-not-burning device, and the on and off action of the at least one second indicator light is controlled according to the remaining number of puffs of the device. Through such a setting, the user can easily know the current remaining puffing time and the remaining number of puffs of the device by observing the on and off actions of each indicator light.

[0079] In one implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the at least one first indicator light includes a plurality of indicator lights of the same color, and the at least one second indicator light includes a plurality of indicator lights of different colors;

[0080] According to the remaining puffing time of the heating-not-burning appliance, controlling the on and off action of at least one first indicator light comprises:

[0081] According to the remaining suction time of the heat-not-burn appliance, multiple indicator lights of the same color are controlled to go out in sequence;

[0082] According to the number of remaining puffs of the heating-not-burning appliance, controlling the on and off action of at least one second indicator light comprises:

[0083] According to the remaining number of suction ports of the heating-not-burning appliance, a plurality of indicator lights of different colors are controlled to light up in sequence.

[0084] Assuming that the at least one first indicator light includes multiple indicator lights of the same color, and the at least one second indicator light includes multiple indicator lights of different colors, the multiple indicator lights of the same color can be controlled to be turned off in sequence according to the remaining puffing time of the device, and the multiple indicator lights of different colors can be controlled to light up in sequence according to the remaining number of puffs of the device. For example, assuming that the at least one first indicator light is n white LED lights, then at the beginning, all the n white LED lights are turned on, and as the remaining puffing time decreases, the n white LED lights are turned off one by one until all are turned off; assuming that the at least one second indicator light includes multiple LED lights of different colors, the LED lights of different colors can be controlled to light up respectively as the remaining number of puffs changes, thereby forming a distinction. Through such a setting, the remaining puffing time and the remaining number of puffs of the device can be intuitively indicated by the on and off changes and color changes of the indicator lights.

[0085] As an example, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a button with an indicator light provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 The circular button shown is a button provided for the heat-not-burn device, and there are 4 white LED lights LED1, LED2, LED3 and LED4 below it, and there are also red LED lights R, blue LED lights B and green LED lights G near LED1. The different display actions of the 4 white LED lights, red LED lights, blue LED lights and green LED lights can be used to prompt the start-up status and preheating progress of the device in the preheating stage, and to prompt the remaining puffing time and the remaining number of puffs of the device in the puffing stage. For specific operation methods, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The process diagram is shown.

[0086] Figure 4 The embodiment of the present application provides the use of Figure 3 The following is a schematic diagram of an operation flow of using a button with an indicator light to distinguish between starting the cold and hot machines. Figure 4In the embodiment, after the appliance is started, it enters the preheating stage, and the temperature curve analysis function is run to determine whether the appliance distinguishes between hot and cold machines; if the appliance does not distinguish between hot and cold machines, the four white LED lights are controlled to flash in sequence according to the evenly divided time of the preheating stage until all are lit, which indicates that the preheating stage is over, and the motor can be controlled to vibrate to prompt the appliance to enter the suction stage; if the appliance distinguishes between hot and cold machines, it is determined whether the distinction is made by the temperature of the heating element or by the energy of the heating element; if the distinction is made by the temperature, the current heating element temperature is detected to determine whether the current heating element temperature is higher than the preset temperature. If it is higher, it is determined that the startup state of the appliance is the hot state. At this time, the red LED light and the three white LED lights (LED2-LED4) are controlled to flash in sequence according to the evenly divided time of the preheating stage until all are lit, and the preheating stage is over, and the motor is controlled to vibrate to prompt the appliance to enter the suction stage; if the heating element temperature is lower than the preset temperature, it is determined that the startup state of the appliance is the cold state. At this time, the four white LED lights are controlled to flash in sequence according to the evenly divided time of the preheating stage until all are lit, and the preheating stage is over. The red LED lights flash in sequence evenly according to the preheating stage time until all are lit, and the preheating stage is over, and the motor is controlled to vibrate to remind the device to enter the suction stage; if the energy of the heating element is used for distinction, the accumulated energy value P1 of the heating element is detected, and it is determined whether P1 is greater than the standard energy value P2 during the preheating stage. If P1>P2, it is determined that the startup state of the device is a hot machine state, and the preheating stage is terminated in advance and the preheating stabilization stage is entered. The red LED light and the three white LED lights (LED2-LED4) are controlled to flash in sequence evenly according to the preheating stabilization stage time until all are lit, and the preheating stage is over, and the motor is controlled to vibrate to remind the device to enter the suction stage; if P1≤P2, it is determined that the startup state of the device is a cold machine state, and the preheating stabilization stage has been entered, and the four white LED lights are controlled to flash in sequence evenly according to the preheating stabilization stage time until all are lit, and the preheating stage is over, and the motor is controlled to vibrate to remind the device to enter the suction stage. Through such an arrangement, the hot state and the cold state can be conveniently distinguished during the preheating stage of the appliance, and the preheating progress of the appliance can be conveniently prompted.

[0087] Figure 5 The embodiment of the present application provides the use of Figure 3 The button with indicator light shown in the figure is a schematic diagram of an operation flow to distinguish the remaining puffing time and the remaining number of puffs. Figure 5In the embodiment, when the device enters the puffing stage, the four white LED lights are controlled to turn off in a counterclockwise direction in equal parts according to the remaining puffing time. For example, assuming that the initial value of the remaining puffing time is 240 seconds, the four white LED lights start from LED4 and turn off one white LED light every 60 seconds in a counterclockwise direction until all four white LED lights are turned off after 240 seconds. The device can detect the user's puffing action through a hardware microphone or a software puff counter, thereby updating the remaining puff number. Assuming that the initial remaining puff number of the device is 12 puffs, when the remaining puff number is 10-12 puffs, the white LED light in the upper right corner (i.e., LED1, which is the last white LED light to be extinguished) is controlled to light up; as the remaining puff number gradually decreases, when the remaining puff number is 7-9 puffs, the white LED light in the upper right corner is controlled to turn off and be replaced by a blue LED light; when the remaining puff number is 4-6 puffs, the blue LED light is controlled to turn off and be replaced by a green LED light; when the remaining puff number is 3 puffs or less, the green LED light is controlled to turn off and be replaced by a red LED light. In addition, when the remaining puff time enters the last 30 seconds, the current LED light indicating the remaining puffs is controlled to flash, for example, when the remaining puffs are 4-6, the green LED light is controlled to flash, and when the remaining puffs are 3 or less, the red LED light is controlled to flash, and so on, to remind the user that the remaining puff time is about to run out. When the remaining puff time runs out or the remaining puffs are exhausted, the device will automatically end heating and shut down. Through this setting, the remaining puff time and the remaining puffs can be easily distinguished during the puffing stage of the device.

[0088] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, when the heat-not-burn appliance enters the preheating stage, the startup state of the appliance is determined, and the startup state is a cold state or a hot state; then, according to the startup state, the display device of the control device performs a corresponding display action, that is, the cold state and the hot state correspond to different display actions.
