[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will be described clearly and completely in combination with the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are partial embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
[0033] A handheld terminal integrating the functions of a mobile phone and an electronic cigarette in a preferred embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it includes a shell 1, in which a mobile phone body 2, a microphone module 3 and a heating wire module 4 are integrated, the mobile phone body 2 includes a main control unit 21, the microphone module 3 and the heating wire module 4 are electrically connected to the main control unit 21, the shell 1 is provided with a cigarette cartridge mounting structure and a suction nozzle 6, the cigarette cartridge mounting structure is used for detachably installing a cigarette cartridge 7, and is connected to the heating wire module 4; the suction nozzle 6 is connected to the cigarette cartridge mounting structure to inhale atomized smoke liquid; wherein, the microphone module 3 monitors the user's smoking action in real time and generates a detection signal, the mobile phone body 2 determines whether the user has a smoking action according to the detection signal, and generates a start signal or a stop signal to control the heating wire module 4 to power on or power off and stop the operation.
[0034] Specifically, the microphone module 3 is an airflow sensor that monitors the airflow changes at the user's mouthpiece 6 in real time. When the user smokes, the microphone module 3 converts the physical signal generated by the airflow change into an electrical signal (detection signal) and transmits it to the main control unit 21 of the mobile phone body 2; the main control unit 21, i.e., the mobile phone SoC chip, determines whether the user has an effective smoking action through a built-in algorithm after receiving the detection signal. If it is determined to be an effective action, a start signal is generated to control the mobile phone body 2 to supply power to the heating wire module 4; if there is no smoking action or the action is completed, a stop signal is generated to cut off the power supply. The heating wire module 4 heats up rapidly when powered, heats the smoke liquid in the cigarette cartridge 7, and atomizes it into inhalable smoke, which is inhaled by the user through the mouthpiece 6. The setting of the cigarette cartridge installation structure simplifies the replacement process of the cigarette cartridge 7 and improves the convenience of use.
[0035] The present invention integrates the microphone module 3, heating wire module 4, and cigarette cartridge mounting structure of the electronic cigarette function with the mobile phone body 2 in the housing 1, so that the handheld terminal can realize the mobile phone function and the electronic cigarette function at the same time; users do not need to carry independent electronic cigarette equipment and chargers, which significantly reduces the burden of travel. The main control unit 21 of the mobile phone body 2 is shared to replace the independent MCU controller of the traditional electronic cigarette, reduce redundant hardware, such as control circuits, independent batteries, etc., simplify the structural design, and reduce manufacturing costs and failure rates. The linkage between the microphone module 3 and the main control unit 21 realizes on-demand power supply, that is, heating is only performed when the smoking action is detected, avoiding no-load power consumption and extending the battery life of the mobile phone.
[0036] This handheld terminal realizes the seamless integration of mobile phone and electronic cigarette functions through hardware integration, intelligent control logic and coordinated management of data; with the dynamic detection of the microphone module 3 as the core, combined with the precise control of the main control unit 21, it ultimately achieves the multiple effects of improved portability, reduced hardware costs, optimized energy efficiency and enhanced user experience.
[0037] Furthermore, the microphone module 3 is installed on the housing 1 or the main control unit 21 by welding or patch mounting. The welding or patch mounting method forms a stable physical connection between the microphone module 3 and the housing 1 or the main control unit 21. From the perspective of circuit connection, during welding, the solder melts at a high temperature, and the pins of the microphone module 3 are tightly connected to the corresponding circuit line to achieve electrical conduction; the patch mounting uses a special patch adhesive to accurately fix the microphone module 3 on the pad of the main control unit 21, which also ensures a reliable electrical connection; thereby realizing the automatic control of the electronic cigarette function by the main control unit 21.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, the mobile phone body 2 further includes:
[0039] A power supply unit, used to supply power to or cut off power to the heating wire module 4 according to the instruction of the main control unit 21;
[0040] A data processing unit, used to calculate the oil consumption of the current suction according to the working power and time of the heating wire module 4 and update the remaining oil in real time;
[0041] A data recording unit, used to record the number of puffs, the puff duration and the working status of the heating wire module 4;
[0042] The display unit can display the remaining oil volume, the number of pumping times and the pumping time data.
[0043] Specifically, the main control unit 21 has a built-in specific algorithm to analyze and identify the detection signal generated by the microphone module 3; when it is determined that the user has a smoking action, a start signal is generated; if it is determined that the user has no smoking action, a stop signal is generated, and the working state of the heating wire module 4 is controlled by the start signal and the stop signal; when the start signal is received, the power supply unit will supply power to the heating wire module 4, so that the heating wire module 4 starts to heat the atomized smoke liquid; if the stop signal is received, the power supply unit stops supplying power to the heating wire module 4, and the heating wire module 4 stops working. When the heating wire module 4 stops heating, the data processing unit calculates the oil consumption of the current puff according to the preset algorithm, combined with the data such as the suction power and the puffing time, and then subtracts the current oil consumption from the initial oil amount of the cigarette cartridge 7 to update the remaining oil amount in real time. The data recording unit records relevant data by monitoring the changes in the working states of the heating wire module 4 and the microphone module 3; for example, the time when the microphone module 3 is turned on once is recorded as the current puffing time, and the switch of the microphone module 3 is recorded as the number of puffs, and the number of puffs and the puffing time are continuously recorded. The display unit displays the oil consumption and remaining oil volume calculated by the data processing unit, as well as the number of puffs and puffing duration recorded by the data recording unit in an intuitive manner, such as in the form of numbers or charts, for easy viewing by users.
[0044] Among them, the main control unit 21 is the main control board of the mobile phone body 2, that is, the system-on-chip (SoC), and the data recording unit can use a flash memory chip to realize the data recording function; the power supply unit includes a power management chip and a battery; the power management chip, such as the TPS61021 of Texas Instruments, can accurately power and cut off the heating wire module 4 according to the start signal and stop signal sent by the main control unit 21, to ensure that the heating wire module 4 obtains a stable power supply at the right time. The battery provides energy for the entire system, such as a lithium-ion battery.
[0045] In addition, the data processing unit and the data recording unit can also be functions realized by the main control board; in the handheld terminal system with integrated electronic cigarette function, the main control board integrates the functions of the main control unit 21, the data processing unit and the data recording unit. Each function is independent of each other and works together to ensure the realization and optimization of the electronic cigarette function.
[0046] Further, the power supply unit includes a power module and a charging module, and the charging module is electrically connected to the power module for charging the power module. Specifically, when the external power supply is connected to the charging module, the charging module will first detect the input power supply, identify the voltage, current and other parameters of the input power supply, and determine whether it meets the charging requirements of the power module; for example, if the input voltage is too high or too low, the charging module will take corresponding protection measures to prevent damage to the power module. After confirming that the input power supply is suitable, the charging module will accurately control the charging process according to the current power state and charging characteristics of the power module. Generally speaking, the power module requires different charging currents and voltages at different power stages. When the power of the power module is low, the charging module will provide a large charging current to quickly replenish the power; as the power increases, the charging module will gradually reduce the charging current to avoid overcharging and protect the safety and life of the power module. For example, in the process of charging a lithium battery, it usually goes through two stages of constant current charging and constant voltage charging, and the charging module will automatically switch between these two stages. The charging module will also monitor the charging status of the power module in real time and feed back relevant information to the main control unit 21. The main control unit 21 can display the charging progress, remaining charging time and other information on the display unit based on this information, so that the user can understand the charging status. When the power module is fully charged, the charging module will automatically stop charging to prevent overcharging.
[0047] The display unit is a mobile phone screen, which displays data such as the remaining oil level, number of puffs, and duration in the form of numbers, progress bars, or charts on the mobile phone screen or a dedicated sub-screen to visualize the e-cigarette data; users can view detailed data (such as the day's puff statistics and remaining oil level warning) through the touch interface.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the data processing unit uses the formula V i t 1 Calculate the fuel consumption of the suction, where V i is the fuel consumption per second, t 1 The duration of the current puff.
[0049] Specifically, the suction power represents the rate of energy consumption per unit time, and the consumption of e-liquid is related to energy consumption. The handheld terminal converts the suction power into the consumption of e-liquid per second, i.e., the consumption per second V, based on the built-in algorithm. i By monitoring the working state changes of the heating wire module 4 or the microphone module 3, the time from the start of suction to the end of suction is accurately recorded. 1 Seconds. Finally, multiply the oil consumption per second by the puffing time to get the oil consumption for that puff. It can help users understand the impact of their smoking habits on the consumption of e-liquid. If they find that the oil consumption of a certain puff is too high, they can adjust the puffing time or strength, cultivate more reasonable usage habits, and reduce the waste of e-liquid.
[0050] More specifically, the remaining oil volume is calculated as follows:
[0051] The microphone module 3 generally has only two states: fully open and fully closed. When the microphone module 3 is fully closed, the heating wire does not work; when the microphone module 3 is fully open, the handheld terminal will provide a specific voltage to the heating wire according to the pre-set setting, so that the heating wire works at a constant power (such as 10W); in this case, the amount of oil consumed by the heating wire or the amount of smoke generated is proportional to the working time.
[0052] Before the electronic cigarette leaves the factory, common working parameters are set, such as the duration of each puff (set to 0.5s) and the suction power (such as 10W). Use professional instruments and a brand new cartridge 7 with a specific oil capacity (such as 10mL) to perform an automatic suction test until the oil is exhausted (no more smoke is produced). After each test, a set of data will be obtained, including (puff duration, suction power, full tank oil volume, number of puffs). For a specific single puff duration, suction power and full tank oil volume, at least three sets of tests are performed, and the average value is taken to obtain a set of setting parameters, namely the suction power and oil consumption per second. Generally speaking, a specific model of electronic cigarette cartridge 7 has a fixed full tank oil volume, and a specific model of electronic cigarette usually has multiple fixed suction powers, such as 10W, 12W, and 16W. After changing to different power settings, repeat the above test to obtain the setting parameters of the model cartridge 7 at different powers, namely the suction power and oil consumption per second.
[0053] Assume that the full oil volume of cartridge 7 is V ml, and there are n sets of setting parameters (p i ,v i )(i=1,...,n), indicating that the power is p i Watt-hour, the fuel consumption per suction second is v i After the user replaces the new cartridge 7, the puffing time is recorded from 0; at time t, each power p i The cumulative puffing time under i (t) seconds, the cumulative fuel consumption at this time is ml, the remaining oil volume is ml.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the heating wire module 4 includes a first heating wire and a second heating wire, and has two heating modes of single heating wire operation and double heating wire operation for user selection; when it is a double heating wire heating mode, the main control unit simultaneously starts the first heating wire and the second heating wire for heating; when it is a single heating wire heating mode, after the first heating wire reaches a preset number of puffs or puffing time, the main control unit switches to the second heating wire for heating, alternating cycles. Specifically, the cigarette cartridge 7 can be a dual-core structure, that is, the heating wire module 4 includes a first heating wire and a second heating wire. In this case, the cigarette cartridge 7 has two heating modes of single heating wire heating and double heating wire heating. When the cigarette cartridge 7 works in the dual-core mode, the main control unit 21 simultaneously starts the first heating wire and the second heating wire for heating. When the cigarette cartridge 7 works in the single-core mode, after the first heating wire reaches a preset number of puffs or puffing time, the main control unit 21 switches to the second heating wire for heating, alternating cycles, to avoid a certain heating wire from aging too quickly.
[0055] More specifically, the main control unit 21 of the mobile phone body 2 has built-in control modes for single-core heating mode and dual-core heating mode; when using, the user needs to manually select the corresponding heating mode according to whether the cigarette cartridge 7 used is single-core or dual-core. When the user selects the dual-core heating mode, the main control unit 21 will send a start signal to the heating wire module 4, and the first heating wire and the second heating wire will start working at the same time to heat and atomize the smoke liquid in the cigarette cartridge 7 together. In the single-core heating mode, the user can pre-set a number of puffs or a puffing time as a switching threshold; in the initial state, the first heating wire is in use, and the main control unit 21 starts to monitor the use of the first heating wire, based on the recorded puffing time and the number of puffs. When the first heating wire reaches the number of puffs or the puffing time set by the user, the main control unit 21 will stop supplying power to the first heating wire and switch the power supply to the second heating wire to put it into use. Afterwards, when the second heating wire also reaches the set threshold, it will switch back to the first heating wire, and work alternately in this cycle.
[0056] Two heating modes are provided for users to manually select, so that the handheld terminal can adapt to single-core cigarette cartridges 7 and dual-core cigarette cartridges 7, enhancing the versatility and compatibility of the product. For those who like large smoke volume and rich taste, the dual-core heating mode can meet the needs of users who like large smoke volume and rich taste because the simultaneous heating of two heating wires can produce more smoke and stronger taste; while the single-core heating mode can meet the needs of users who want to save smoke liquid or have a smaller demand for smoke volume. In the single-core heating mode, the heating wires work alternately, avoiding long-term continuous operation of a single heating wire, reducing the loss of the heating wire, and reducing the speed of aging and damage of the heating wire, thereby extending the overall service life of the heating wire and saving users the cost of replacing the heating wire.
[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the cigarette cartridge installation structure includes a receiving groove recessed in the surface of the shell 1, and a connector is provided in the receiving groove for connecting the cigarette cartridge 7 with the heating wire module 4 and the suction nozzle 6. Specifically, a recessed area is designed on the surface of the shell 1 of the handheld terminal to form a receiving groove, and the shape of the receiving groove matches the cigarette cartridge 7 to ensure that the cigarette cartridge 7 is flush with the shell 1 after being embedded, so as to maintain the integrated appearance of the device. The connector includes an electrical contact, a magnetic suction device or a snap-on interface provided in the receiving groove, which is physically connected to the corresponding interface at the bottom of the cigarette cartridge 7 to realize power transmission and signal interaction.
[0058] The user pushes the cigarette cartridge 7 in the direction of the receiving groove, and the connector and the interface of the cigarette cartridge 7 are automatically aligned and locked to ensure a stable installation. After the connection is completed, the main control unit 21 confirms that the cigarette cartridge 7 is in place through an electrical signal, activates the coordinated work of the heating wire module 4 and the microphone module 3, and prepares to atomize the smoke liquid. Therefore, the user can replace the cigarette cartridge 7 without tools or complicated operations, which improves the efficiency of use and is especially suitable for outdoor scenes; the recessed receiving groove guides the correct installation direction of the cigarette cartridge 7 through physical limiters to avoid interface damage caused by reverse insertion; at the same time, the cigarette cartridge 7 is completely embedded in the shell 1 to avoid the abruptness of the external cigarette cartridge 7, maintain the overall light and thin appearance of the handheld terminal, that is, the appearance of a mobile phone, in line with the design trend of consumer electronic products, and utilizes the redundant space inside the shell 1 to integrate the cigarette cartridge 7 slot, reduce the additional volume occupation, and achieve a balance between function and portability. Through the modular connector design (such as replaceable interfaces), it supports the compatibility of cigarette cartridges 7 of different brands or models, and expands the user's selection range.
[0059] Furthermore, a sealing ring or a dust cover is provided at the edge of the receiving groove to prevent the intrusion of external dust or liquid and avoid corrosion of the internal circuit.
[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the cigarette cartridge installation structure includes a connection seat 5 having a receiving groove, and the connection seat 5 is detachably arranged on the surface of the housing 1, and the cigarette cartridge 7 can be connected to the heating wire module 4 and the suction nozzle 6 through the connection seat 5. Specifically, the connection seat 5 is used as an intermediate component, and its receiving groove is used to place the cigarette cartridge 7 to fix the cigarette cartridge 7. The connection seat 5 is detachably mounted on the surface of the housing 1, which is convenient for users to operate. When the cigarette cartridge 7 is placed in the receiving groove of the connection seat 5, the structure inside the connection seat 5 will establish a connection between the cigarette cartridge 7 and the heating wire module 4 and the suction nozzle 6, and the microphone module 3 monitors the user's smoking action in real time. Once the smoking action is detected, a detection signal will be generated. The signal is transmitted to the cigarette cartridge 7 through the connection seat 5, and is also transmitted to the main control unit 21. After receiving the signal, the main control unit 21 determines that the user has a smoking action, and sends a start signal to the heating wire module 4. At this time, the connection seat 5 ensures that the power supply connection of the heating wire module 4 is stable, and the heating wire module 4 starts to work to heat and atomize the smoke liquid in the cigarette cartridge 7. The atomized smoke liquid passes through the channel connecting the connection base 5 and the suction nozzle 6, and flows to the suction nozzle 6 under the negative pressure generated by the user's inhalation, so as to be inhaled by the user. In the whole process, the connection base 5 plays a key role in connection, signal transmission and energy transmission, ensuring the normal operation of the electronic cigarette function.
[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, the communication path between the suction nozzle 6 and the cigarette cartridge mounting structure forms an airflow channel, and the airflow channel is located inside the shell 1 to guide the atomized smoke liquid to flow to the suction nozzle 6. Specifically, when the user smokes through the suction nozzle 6, the suction force (negative pressure) generated by the oral cavity will be transmitted to the airflow channel inside the shell 1; the negative pressure causes the external air to enter the airflow channel inside the shell 1 through the cigarette cartridge mounting structure, and flow through the heating wire module 4 to heat the atomized smoke liquid to form a mixed smoke. The setting of the airflow channel ensures that the smoke flows unidirectionally from the cigarette cartridge 7 area to the suction nozzle 6 to prevent the smoke from escaping or backflowing. The microphone module 3 generates a detection signal in real time by detecting the change in airflow, triggering the heating wire module 4 to work, thereby forming a closed-loop control.
[0062] The closed design of the airflow channel ensures the concentrated delivery of smoke, reduces air leakage or smoke loss, and allows the user to quickly obtain sufficient smoke when inhaling. The airflow channel is fully integrated into the housing 1, without the need for exposed pipes, keeping the appearance of the handheld terminal simple and meeting the industrial design requirements of devices such as smartphones.
[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, the mobile phone body 2 also includes an intelligent reminder module, which is electrically connected to the main control unit 21. When the remaining oil level is lower than a preset threshold, the intelligent reminder module can remind the user to replace the cigarette cartridge 7 in time through sound, vibration or pop-up window.
[0064] Specifically, the data processing unit in the mobile phone body 2 will calculate the oil consumption of the current puff through a preset formula based on the working power and time of the heating wire module 4, and update the remaining oil data in real time. These data will be continuously transmitted to the main control unit 21. The main control unit 21 has a preset threshold for the remaining oil. When the remaining oil data transmitted by the data processing unit received by the main control unit 21 is lower than the preset threshold, the main control unit 21 will send an instruction to the intelligent reminder module electrically connected thereto. After receiving the instruction, the intelligent reminder module chooses to send a reminder to the user in the form of sound, vibration or pop-up window according to its own set mode. For example, the intelligent reminder module can pre-set a specific reminder sound, and play the sound when receiving the instruction; or control the vibration motor of the handheld terminal to generate vibration; if the mobile phone is in an unlocked use state, a striking reminder pop-up window can also pop up on the display unit (i.e., the mobile phone screen) to inform the user that the remaining oil is insufficient and the cigarette cartridge 7 needs to be replaced in time.
[0065] Avoid interrupting the smoking experience due to insufficient oil in the cartridge 7 during use. For busy users or those who use the electronic cigarette function of the handheld terminal in special scenarios, this timely reminder allows them to focus more on current affairs without having to pay attention to the remaining oil in the cartridge 7, which enhances the convenience and fluency of use. At the same time, it also avoids the situation where the heating wire burns out due to the exhaustion of the smoke liquid in the cartridge 7 but not being replaced in time.
[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the power supply unit includes a handheld terminal battery 22, which is integrated in the housing 1 and supplies power to the mobile phone body 2, the microphone module 3 and the heating wire module 4. The handheld terminal battery 22 establishes an electrical connection with the mobile phone body 2, the microphone module 3 and the heating wire module 4 through the line, providing a channel for power transmission for each module and unit, ensuring that the current can flow smoothly from the battery to each part that needs power. The handheld terminal battery 22 is used to power the mobile phone body 2 and the electronic cigarette related components at the same time, avoiding the need to equip the electronic cigarette function with a separate battery; it allows users to carry no additional charging equipment and spare batteries for electronic cigarettes, reduces the number of items that need to be carried when going out, and improves the convenience of travel; it realizes the sharing of the handheld terminal battery 22 resources, makes full use of the power of the handheld terminal battery 22, and reduces the manufacturing cost of the product to a certain extent, because there is no need to develop and produce batteries and related power management systems separately for the electronic cigarette function; at the same time, it also reduces the consumption and waste of batteries.
[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 5As shown, the power supply unit includes a first battery 231 and a second battery 232 which are separately arranged. The first battery 231 supplies power to the mobile phone body 2, and the second battery 232 supplies power to the microphone module 3 and the heating wire module 4. Specifically, the first battery 231 is specifically used to supply power to the mobile phone body 2. When the mobile phone body 2 is started, the mobile phone body 2 obtains the required power from the first battery 231. The first battery 231 will stably output the appropriate voltage and current according to the power demand of the mobile phone body 2 to ensure the normal operation of the mobile phone body 2. The second battery 232 is responsible for supplying power to the microphone module 3 and the heating wire module 4.
[0068] Since the mobile phone body 2 and the electronic cigarette related modules are powered by different batteries, the power consumption of each other will not interfere with each other. For example, when the heating wire module 4 of the electronic cigarette function works at high power, the normal operation of the mobile phone body 2 will not be affected by the instantaneous high current demand, thus avoiding the problems of the mobile phone body 2 freezing, restarting, etc. due to power supply fluctuations, and vice versa, ensuring the stable operation of the functions of the mobile phone body 2 and the electronic cigarette.
[0069] It should be noted that the mobile phone function part of the handheld terminal, in addition to the mobile phone body 2 of the smart phone, can also be replaced by electronic devices such as smart watches or tablet computers that are easy to hold, have certain computing and control capabilities, and can provide power.
[0070] Smartphones are rich in functions and widely used. By integrating the e-cigarette function, users can meet their smoking needs while carrying their mobile phones. Users can view e-cigarette related data such as the remaining oil and the number of puffs through the display screen of the mobile phone, and can also use the powerful computing and processing capabilities of the mobile phone to achieve complex function control, such as switching between different heating modes. Smart watches are easy to carry and wear on the wrist, and are easy to use. After it integrates the e-cigarette function, users can complete the smoking action by raising their hands. The display screen of the smart watch can also display relevant data, and its operation can be achieved by touching the screen or buttons, meeting the user's needs for convenience and personalization. The tablet computer has a larger screen, which can more clearly display the e-cigarette usage data and setting options; users can conveniently use the integrated e-cigarette function while using the tablet computer for entertainment or work; and the battery capacity of the tablet computer is relatively large, which can provide more lasting power support for the e-cigarette function.
[0071] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or changes based on the above description, and all these improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the appended claims of the present invention.
