The phrase appears in various places in the specification and does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

For example, A and / or B may represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.
[0028] In order to illustrate the technical solution described in this application, specific embodiments will be used for illustration below.
[0029] In an alternative embodiment, a control method for an aerosol generating device provided by an embodiment of the present application.
[0030] Among them, the aerosol generating device includes a plurality of heating chambers for heating an aerosol substrate, and each heating chamber can accommodate the aerosol substrate and heat the aerosol substrate.
[0031] The aerosol generating device may be an HNB (Heat Not Burning) appliance.
[0032] The heat-not-burn device heats the aerosol matrix by means of electric heating or other heating methods, so as to release substances such as flavor components in the aerosol matrix. Since the aerosol matrix does not participate in combustion, a large number of harmful components generated by high-temperature cracking at 900 °C are avoided, the harm to the body is reduced while meeting the needs of consumers, and at the same time, the pollution of environmental tobacco smoke is reduced.
[0033] Optionally, the heating chamber has a receiving space for receiving the aerosol matrix, and the aerosol matrix is heated by a heating component.
[0034] Optionally, the receiving space is a cup-shaped structure with an opening and a bottom opposite to the opening, and the middle part is formed into a cavity space for receiving the aerosol matrix. The aerosol matrix can be pressed from the opening to the bottom and loaded into the cavity space to achieve assembly in the receiving space.
[0035] Optionally, the heating methods of the heating chamber include various forms such as internal central heating, external circumferential heating, and hybrid heating. In the form of external circumferential heating, the heating component can heat the aerosol matrix at the bottom or the circumferential side of the receiving space, and the heating component can be a heating block arranged at the corresponding part. In the form of internal central heating, the heating component can heat at the center of the aerosol matrix in a way of inserting into the inside of the aerosol matrix, and the heating component can be a heating needle arranged at the corresponding part. In the form of hybrid heating, it can include the setting methods of the heating components in the above two forms. During operation, through the set heating method, the heating chamber realizes the heating treatment in the corresponding heating form.
[0036] Optionally, the aerosol generating device further includes components such as a display screen, a heating circuit, a charging circuit, and touch keys. Correspondingly, the software configuration of the device includes corresponding function modules, such as a screen display module, a heating module, a charging module, a key module, a touch module, etc.
[0037] Combined with Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the aerosol generating device includes:
[0038] Step 101, control the first heating chamber to heat the aerosol matrix, and after the first heating chamber finishes heating, accumulate the first usage data of the first heating chamber.
[0039] There can be two, three or more heating chambers. Numbers or sorting can be set between different heating chambers.
[0040] The first heating chamber can be the heating chamber selected by the user, and the user can select the heating chamber through key presses or touch actions. The first heating chamber can also be any heating chamber into which the aerosol matrix is inserted. Or, the first heating chamber can also be the default heating chamber among multiple heating chambers.
[0041] In one embodiment, after the aerosol generating device is started, if it is detected that aerosol substrates are inserted into all the heating cartridges, the default heating cartridge is taken as the first heating cartridge, and step 101 is executed to control the first heating cartridge to heat the aerosol substrate.
[0042] Wherein, after the user inserts the aerosol substrate into each heating cartridge, the user can start the aerosol generating device by pressing a button or touching a touch screen, or start it automatically through the self-start function for inserting the aerosol substrate configured in the aerosol generating device.
[0043] After the aerosol generating device is started, the aerosol generating device can automatically match and determine a heating cartridge as the first heating cartridge. For example, the heating cartridge numbered 1 can be defaulted as the first heating cartridge for heating, ensuring effective heating control of multiple heating cartridges after the aerosol generating device is started and ensuring the functional effectiveness during the startup process of the appliance.
[0044] In an alternative embodiment, the judgment of the completion of heating of the first heating cartridge can be:
[0045] When the heating duration of the aerosol substrate by the first heating cartridge reaches the set duration, it is determined that the heating of the first heating cartridge is completed; or, during the heating process of the aerosol substrate by the first heating cartridge, if it is detected that the number of user puffs reaches the set number of puffs, it is determined that the heating of the first heating cartridge is completed.
[0046] Wherein, the set duration is, for example, 240S, 250s, etc. The set number of puffs is, for example, 50 puffs, 55 puffs, etc.
[0047] In this way, by counting the heating duration of the aerosol substrate by the first heating cartridge or counting the number of user puffs during the heating of the aerosol substrate by the first heating cartridge, it is determined whether the first heating cartridge has completed the heating treatment of the aerosol substrate, ensuring effective detection of the heating treatment of the heating cartridge in the appliance.
[0048] After the heating of the first heating cartridge is completed, the usage data of the first heating cartridge needs to be accumulated to obtain the first usage data. Here, the usage data is used to indicate the usage condition of the heating cartridge, and the usage data can be the number of heating uses, the heating usage rate, etc.
[0049] Optionally, after the heating of the first heating cartridge is completed, the first usage data of the first heating cartridge is accumulated, including: after the heating of the first heating cartridge is completed, the number of heating uses of the first heating cartridge is accumulated to obtain the first usage data.
[0050] In practice, the number of heating uses of the first heating cartridge can be recorded as N + 1, where N is the number of heating uses of the first heating cartridge before this heating use, and the initial value of N = 0.
[0051] In this way, the cumulative heating usage times of the first heating chamber are obtained, effectively measuring the usage condition of the current heating chamber.
[0052] Alternatively, after the first heating chamber finishes heating, the first usage data of the first heating chamber can be cumulatively obtained, including: after the first heating chamber finishes heating, the heating usage times of the first heating chamber are accumulated to obtain the cumulative usage times; the ratio of the cumulative usage times to the service life times of the first heating chamber is calculated to obtain the first usage data.
[0053] Among them, the service life times are calibration quantities, specifically referring to the maximum available times of the aerosol generating device within its service life.
[0054] In implementation, the heating usage times of the first heating chamber can be recorded as N + 1, where N is the heating usage times of the first heating chamber before this heating usage, and the initial value of N = 0. On this basis, the heating usage rate is cumulatively obtained as (N + 1) / X, where X is the service life times of the first heating chamber.
[0055] In this way, the heating usage rate of the first heating chamber is cumulatively obtained, effectively measuring the usage condition of the current heating chamber.
[0056] In the above process, by recording the usage data of the current heating chamber, the usage condition of the current heating chamber is effectively recorded and measured.
[0057] Step 102, determine whether the first usage data reaches a threshold.
[0058] In some cases, if the first usage data reaches the threshold, switch to controlling the second heating chamber among multiple heating chambers to heat the aerosol matrix.
[0059] In this way, by comparing the usage data of the current first heating chamber with the threshold, the effective discrimination of the usage data of the heating chamber is realized, so that after the current heating chamber finishes heating the aerosol matrix, it can be effectively replaced with other heating chambers that can take over the heating of the aerosol matrix, and the corresponding heating treatment of the aerosol matrix is performed, ensuring the automatic heating switch of the aerosol matrix accommodated in the heating chamber, avoiding the frequent replacement of the aerosol matrix, and improving the usage sustainability of the aerosol generating device.
[0060] In other cases, the usage data of different heating chambers are respectively compared with the threshold to jointly determine the heating switching processing strategy of the heating chamber.
[0061] Step 103, if the first usage data reaches the threshold and the second usage data of the second heating chamber among multiple heating chambers is less than the threshold, switch to controlling the second heating chamber to heat the aerosol matrix.
[0062] Among them, the first usage data of the first heating chamber is greater than the second usage data of the second heating chamber.
[0063] Optionally, the threshold is, for example, 1 time, or the threshold is, for example, 1 / 10000 usage rate. The value can be set according to requirements, and the specific value is not limited here.
[0064] In the implementation process, taking two heating chambers and a threshold of 1 time as an example, if the heating usage times of both heating chambers = 1, it indicates that the aerosol matrix in both heating chambers has been heated and used, and the user is prompted to replace the aerosol matrix. On the contrary, when the heating usage times of the first heating chamber = 1 and the heating usage times of the second heating chamber = 0, it is only necessary to automatically switch from the first heating chamber to the second heating chamber and continue to perform the heating of the aerosol matrix.
[0065] By comparing the usage data of different heating chambers with the threshold, it is possible to avoid repeatedly implementing the heating control of the aerosol matrix in one heating chamber and avoid frequent replacement of the aerosol matrix.
[0066] In the above processing process, by recording the usage data of the heating chamber, comparing the usage data of the current first heating chamber with the threshold, and comparing the usage data of other heating chambers in multiple heating chambers with the threshold, it is possible to effectively discriminate the usage data of different heating chambers, so as to effectively replace it with other heating chambers that can take over the heating of the aerosol matrix after the heating of the aerosol matrix in the current heating chamber is completed, perform the corresponding heating treatment of the aerosol matrix, ensure the automatic heating switch of the aerosol matrix in the heating chamber, avoid frequent replacement of the aerosol matrix, and improve the usage sustainability of the aerosol generating device.
[0067] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 After determining whether the first usage data reaches the threshold in step 102, the control method further includes:
[0068] Step 204, if the first usage data reaches the threshold and the usage data of the remaining heating chambers in multiple heating chambers all reach the threshold, then output a prompt message for replacing the aerosol matrix.
[0069] Among them, the prompt message can be a voice prompt message, a light prompt message, and / or a text prompt message.
[0070] In this way, after the aerosol matrix in all heating chambers in multiple heating chambers has been heated and used, it is possible to effectively monitor the heating of the aerosol matrix in multiple heating chambers, effectively prompt the user to replace the aerosol matrix, and improve the usage intelligence of the aerosol generating device.
[0071] In an alternative embodiment, the aerosol generating device includes a cover, and a touch switch is provided on the cover. After the cover is opened, the user can replace the aerosol substrate in the heating chamber, and then close the cover after the replacement is completed. The touch switch can be set at the engaging position when the cover is closed. When the cover is closed, a touch signal triggered by the touch switch will be detected, indicating that the aerosol substrate replacement is completed. Or the touch switch can be set inside the cover. During the process of covering the cover, the cover presses on the aerosol substrate, and the touch switch touches and squeezes the aerosol substrate, and a touch signal triggered by the touch switch will be detected, indicating that the aerosol substrate replacement is completed.
[0072] Correspondingly, after outputting a prompt message for replacing the aerosol substrate in step 204, the control method further includes:
[0073] Detecting the signal of the touch switch; if a touch signal triggered by the touch switch is detected, it is determined that the replacement of the aerosol substrate is completed, and the usage data of each heating chamber is cleared.
[0074] The signal detection of the touch switch can be performed at a set time interval, for example, the set time interval is 100MS, that is, the signal of the touch switch is collected every 100MS.
[0075] When the touch switch on the cover is touched, it can be considered that the user has replaced the aerosol substrate, and the usage data of the heating chamber is reset to zero. In subsequent use, data accumulation is restarted based on the reset usage data. Otherwise, it is considered that the aerosol substrate has not been replaced.
[0076] In this way, the management of the usage data of the aerosol generating device and the effective detection of the aerosol substrate replacement operation are implemented, ensuring the functional effectiveness of the aerosol generating device in subsequent use and improving the user experience.
[0077] In an alternative embodiment, after detecting the signal of the touch switch, it further includes:
[0078] If a touch signal of the touch switch is not detected, a prompt message is output once every time the duration of not detecting the touch signal reaches a first set duration until the output times of the prompt message reach the set number or until the duration of detecting the signal of the touch switch reaches a second set duration.
[0079] Among them, the set duration (the first set duration) corresponding to the duration of not detecting the touch signal is the aforementioned set time interval, which can be set to 100MS or other values.
[0080] Among them, the set duration (the second set duration) corresponding to the duration of detecting the signal of the touch switch can be set to 500MS or other values.
[0081] In this way, an effective replacement reminder for the aerosol matrix is realized, improving the user experience.
[0082] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts involved in the above-described embodiments are shown in sequence according to the indications of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise clearly stated in this document, there is no strict order restriction for the execution of these steps, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some of the steps in the flowcharts involved in the above-described embodiments may include multiple steps or multiple stages. 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 sequential, but can be executed alternately or in turn with at least some of the steps or stages in other steps or other steps.
