The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0032] In order to illustrate the technical solution described in this application, a specific embodiment is provided below for illustration.

[0033] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a control method for an aerosol generating device is proposed, and the aerosol generating device to which the method is applicable has the following structural features.

[0034] The aerosol generating device comprises a containing space 2 for containing an aerosol matrix 3 ; a heating assembly 4 for heating the aerosol matrix 3 ; and a distance detector 1 facing the inside of the containing space 2 is arranged on a side wall of the containing space 2 .

[0035] The aerosol generating device may be a HNB (Heat Not Burning) device.

[0036] The heating-not-burning device heats the aerosol matrix 3 by electric heating or other heating methods to release substances such as flavor components in the aerosol matrix 3. Since the aerosol matrix 3 does not participate in combustion, it avoids the production of a large amount of harmful components due to high-temperature decomposition at 900°C, thereby meeting consumer needs while reducing harm to the body and reducing environmental smoke pollution.

[0037] Optionally, the accommodating space 2 is a cup-shaped structure having an opening and a bottom opposite to the opening, and the middle portion is formed as a cavity space that can accommodate the aerosol matrix 3. The aerosol matrix 3 can be pressed from the opening to the bottom and loaded into the cavity space to achieve assembly in the accommodating space 2. The side wall of the accommodating space 2 can be a peripheral side wall relative to the opening and the bottom.

[0038] The distance sensing direction of the distance detector 1 toward the interior of the accommodation space 2 is perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the insertion direction of the aerosol matrix 3 into the accommodation space 2 .

[0039] Optionally, the heating method of the aerosol generating device includes various forms such as internal central heating, external circumferential heating and mixed heating. In the external circumferential heating form, the heating component 4 can heat the aerosol matrix 3 at the bottom or circumference of the accommodating space 2, and the heating component 4 can be a heating block arranged at the corresponding position. In the internal central heating form, the heating component 4 can heat the center of the aerosol matrix 3 by being inserted into the interior of the aerosol matrix 3, and the heating component 4 can be a heating needle arranged at the corresponding position. In the mixed heating form, the setting methods of the heating component 4 in the above two forms can be included. During operation, the heating control method of the aerosol generating device is set to realize the heating control of the heating component 4 used in the corresponding heating form.

[0040] Optionally, the distance detector 1 is, for example, an infrared distance detector, an acoustic wave distance detector, etc.

[0041] Optionally, the distance detector 1 includes a distance detection end. The distance detection end may specifically include a transmitting end and a receiving end. The transmitting end is used to emit distance sensing light, sound waves, etc., and the receiving end is used to receive corresponding reflected light, reflected sound waves, etc.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, the distance detector 1 in the aerosol generating device includes a distance detection end facing the accommodating space 2, and light-isolating silicone 5, a light guide column 6 and a light guide mirror 7 are sequentially arranged outside the distance detection end. The light guide mirror 7 is embedded in the side wall surface of the accommodating space 2 at the end face close to the accommodating space 2.

[0043] To ensure the distance detection effect, the distance detector 1 selects light as the distance measurement medium. The distance detector 1 can be an infrared distance detector, a light intensity sensor, etc.

[0044] In this structure, a light-isolating silicone 5 is disposed outside the distance detection end of the distance detector 1 to isolate light from escaping to the surroundings and improve the distance detection effect. In some embodiments, the light-isolating silicone 5 is provided with through holes for emitting light and receiving reflected light.

[0045] The light guide column 6 can be a columnar light guide with a transparent structure, which guides the light to be transmitted along a set path, and finally makes the distance measuring light be emitted from the light guide mirror 7 toward the inside of the accommodating space 2, and guides the reflected light to be transmitted to the distance detection end of the distance detector 1, thereby realizing the effective setting of the distance detector 1 on the side wall of the accommodating space 2 and the realization of the distance measuring function.

[0046] Combination Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a method for controlling an aerosol generating device is provided, comprising:

[0047] Step 201 : obtaining a target distance value obtained by a distance detector performing distance detection on the interior of a receiving space.

[0048] Step 202, determining whether the target distance value is within a first distance range.

[0049] The first distance range is used to determine whether an object is inserted into the accommodation space.

[0050] If the judgment result is no, that is, when it is determined that the target distance value is not within the first distance range, step 203 is executed.

[0051] Optionally, if the determination result is yes, that is, when it is determined that the target distance value is within the first distance range, the process returns to step 201 to continue acquiring the target distance value obtained by the distance detector performing distance detection on the inside of the accommodation space, thereby implementing a loop processing process.

[0052] There is a first set distance between the side wall where the distance detector is located and the opposite side wall in the accommodation space, and the first set distance is, for example, 20 mm, 23 mm, etc.

[0053] The first distance range may be a distance range determined by superimposing a reasonable distance deviation range (e.g., -0.5 mm to 0.5 mm) on the first set distance. The distance deviation range may include the distance between the distance detector and the side wall where it is located in the accommodation space (e.g., 0.5 mm, 1 mm, etc.), the distance measurement deviation value (0.2 mm, 0.3 mm) that may exist in the distance measurement process, and other distance values.

[0054] When it is determined that the target distance value is not within the first distance range, it can be considered that an object may be inserted into the accommodation space, and further determination of the target distance value is required, and step 203 will be executed.

[0055] When it is determined that the target distance value is within the first distance range, it can be considered that the accommodation space is in a hollow state and no object is inserted. Step 201 is executed in a loop to continue to obtain the target distance value obtained by the distance detector for distance detection inside the accommodation space, thereby implementing effective and continuous detection of whether there is an object entering the accommodation space to improve safety.

[0056] Step 203, determining whether the target distance value is within a second distance range.

[0057] If the determination result is yes, that is, when it is determined that the target distance value is within the second distance range, step 204 is executed.

[0058] Optionally, if the judgment result is no, that is, when it is determined that the target distance value is not within the second distance range, it is confirmed that a foreign object is inserted into the accommodating space, and the process returns to step 201 to continue to obtain the target distance value obtained by the distance detector for distance detection inside the accommodating space, thereby realizing a loop processing process.

[0059] The second distance range is used to determine whether the object inserted into the receiving space is likely to be an aerosol matrix.

[0060] The distance value within the first distance range is greater than the distance value within the second distance range.

[0061] After the aerosol matrix is ​​inserted into the accommodation space, there is a second set distance (eg, 1 mm, 2 mm, etc.) between the aerosol matrix and the side wall of the accommodation space.

[0062] The second distance range may be a distance range determined by superimposing a reasonable distance deviation range (e.g., -0.5 mm to 0.5 mm) on the second set distance. The distance deviation range may include a deviation range interval formed by distance values ​​such as the distance between the distance detector and the side wall where it is located in the accommodation space (e.g., 2 mm, 3 mm, etc.), a distance measurement deviation value (e.g., 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm) that may exist during the distance measurement process, and the like.

[0063] Optionally, there is a set difference between the minimum value in the first distance range and the maximum value in the second distance range, wherein the difference between the set difference and the first set distance is within the set distance deviation range.

[0064] The set distance deviation range is a distance range obtained by superimposing a reasonable distance deviation range (for example, -0.5 mm to 0.5 mm) on the difference between the first set distance and the second set distance.

[0065] When it is determined that the target distance value is not within the first distance range but within the second distance range, it can be considered that an aerosol matrix may be inserted into the accommodation space, and further determination of the target distance value is required, and step 204 will be continued.

[0066] When it is determined that the target distance value is neither in the first distance range nor in the second distance range, it can be considered that a foreign object may be inserted into the storage space, and heating treatment is not performed. At the same time, step 201 is looped to continue to obtain the target distance value obtained by the distance detector for distance detection inside the storage space, and implement effective and continuous detection of whether an aerosol matrix enters the storage space, thereby improving safety.

[0067] Step 204, monitoring whether the fluctuation value of the target distance value is within the target fluctuation range.

[0068] The target fluctuation range is used to determine whether the target distance value is in a stable value range and whether the fluctuation is small, so as to determine whether the inserted object in the accommodation space is in a stable aerosol matrix insertion state. The target fluctuation range is, for example, -0.5 mm to 0.5 mm.

[0069] During the aerosol matrix process of cigarettes, the detected target distance value may fluctuate due to reasons such as the uneven surface of the aerosol matrix, the aerosol matrix is ​​not inserted into place, and foreign objects are inserted.

[0070] The heating of the aerosol matrix should be started after the target distance value is stabilized, so as to avoid the triggering of erroneous heating operations such as starting the heating during the insertion of the aerosol matrix or heating of foreign objects.

[0071] If the monitoring result is yes, that is, when the fluctuation value of the target distance value is within the target fluctuation range, step 205 is executed.

[0072] Optionally, if the monitoring result is no, that is, when the fluctuation value of the target distance value is not within the target fluctuation range, it is confirmed that a foreign object is inserted into the accommodation space or that the aerosol matrix is ​​in an unstable insertion state, and the process returns to step 201 to continue to obtain the target distance value obtained by the distance detector for distance detection inside the accommodation space, thereby realizing a cyclic processing process.

[0073] Optionally, the fluctuation value of the target distance value may be obtained by subtracting the previous target distance value from the currently detected target distance value.

[0074] When the fluctuation value of the target distance value is within the target fluctuation range, it can be considered that the object inserted into the accommodation space is an aerosol matrix and is in a stable insertion state, and it can be heated, and step 205 will be executed next.

[0075] When the fluctuation value of the target distance value is not within the target fluctuation range, it can be considered that the object inserted into the accommodating space is not an aerosol matrix or the inserted aerosol matrix is ​​in an unstable insertion state, and it will not be heated. An effective detection is performed to avoid false detection and avoid incorrect heating operations caused by false detection, thereby improving safety.

[0076] Step 205, controlling the heating component to heat.

[0077] In the above implementation process, a distance detector is set on the side wall of the containing space in the aerosol generating device, and the distance detector is controlled to detect the distance inside the containing space to obtain a target distance value. Based on the first distance range, the second distance range and the target fluctuation range, the distance range in which the target distance value is located and the distance fluctuation state are judged, thereby effectively determining whether an aerosol matrix in an effective insertion state is inserted in the containing space of the aerosol generating device, effectively reducing the risk of false detection and false operation, and improving safety.

[0078] Optionally, after controlling the heating component to heat in step 205, the method further includes:

[0079] Step 206: During the heating process of the heating component, if it is detected that the fluctuation value of the target distance value is outside the target fluctuation range, the heating component is controlled to stop heating.

[0080] When the aerosol matrix is ​​pulled out, the fluctuation of the target distance value can also be monitored. To improve safety, the heating is stopped when the aerosol matrix is ​​pulled out to avoid stopping the heating after the aerosol matrix is ​​completely pulled out. If the fluctuation of the target distance value is still monitored to be within the target fluctuation range during the heating process of the heating component, it is considered that the aerosol matrix has not been pulled out, and the target distance value obtained by the distance detector for the distance inside the accommodation space is continued to be obtained, and the target distance value is continuously detected and judged.

[0081] During this process, during the heating process of the heating component, if the continuously detected target distance value is monitored to have a fluctuation value outside the target fluctuation range, it can be considered that the aerosol matrix inserted in the accommodating space begins to be pulled out. At this time, the heating process can be stopped to avoid erroneous operations such as continued heating caused by failure to detect the pulling out of the aerosol matrix in time, avoid erroneous heating operations caused by false detection, and further improve safety.

[0082] 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.

[0083] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application further provides an aerosol generating device. The aerosol generating device provided in the embodiment of the present application can implement each process of the embodiment of the control method of the aerosol generating device described above, and can achieve the same technical effect, so the specific limitations in one or more aerosol generating device embodiments provided below can refer to the limitations of the control method of the aerosol generating device described above, and will not be repeated here to avoid repetition.
