[0051] This application embodiment provides an embodiment of an aging test system for an aerosol generating device. Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The present invention provides a schematic structural diagram of an aging test system for an aerosol generating device, which includes:

[0052] Several aerosol generating devices to be tested (such as Figure 1 For example, 10a, 10b, 10c, and 10d are simply shown in the figure, but the actual application scenario is not limited thereto).

[0053] The host computer 20 is used to issue a test instruction, wherein the test instruction carries at least a target channel number.

[0054] The aging test equipment 30 is connected to the host computer 20 and multiple aerosol generating devices (such as Figure 110a, 10b, 10c, 10d) are used to receive test instructions, control the circuit mainboard corresponding to the target channel number to run the aging test program, and detect the charging voltage and charging current values of the connected aerosol generating device.

[0055] The host computer is also used to receive the charging voltage value and charging current value of the aerosol generating device uploaded in real time by the aging test device, and generate corresponding aging test results according to the charging voltage value and charging current value of the aerosol generating device.

[0056] The aging test equipment is provided with a plurality of circuit main boards, and each circuit main board is connected to an aerosol generating device via a circuit channel.

[0057] In some optional embodiments, multiple aerosol-generating devices to be tested can be inserted into different circuit channels of the aging test device. Each circuit channel has a corresponding interface to ensure that the aerosol-generating device can be stably connected to the aging test device to ensure reliable charging and data transmission.

[0058] In some optional embodiments, the aging test device is internally equipped with multiple circuit boards, each corresponding to a circuit channel. The circuit boards provide control, measurement, and data transmission functions, with electrical connections between the various functional modules achieved through printed circuit board (PCB) wiring. Furthermore, the circuit boards are equipped with acquisition circuits for measuring charging voltage and current, such as voltage acquisition circuits and current acquisition circuits, to accurately and in real time obtain the charging parameters of the aerosol generating device.

[0059] In some optional embodiments, the aging test device is connected to the host computer through a standard communication interface (such as a serial port, USB interface or Ethernet interface) to achieve stable and high-speed data transmission, ensuring that instructions and data between the host computer and the aging test device can interact accurately.

[0060] In some optional embodiments, the host computer generates a test instruction based on the test requirements. The test instruction includes at least a target channel number, which specifies the circuit channel of the aerosol generating device to be subjected to the aging test. Furthermore, the test instruction may include other test parameters, such as the duration of the aging test and the test mode. As an example and not a limitation, the host computer software system automatically generates the corresponding test instruction based on user settings or a preset test plan and transmits it to the aging test device via the communication interface.

[0061] In some optional embodiments, after receiving a test instruction from a host computer, the aging test device first verifies the instruction to ensure its integrity and accuracy. It then parses the instruction according to the communication protocol, extracting the target channel number and other relevant parameters. Based on the parsed target channel number, the aging test device locates the circuit board corresponding to the target channel number and sends a control signal to it, initiating the aging test procedure. After receiving the control signal, the circuit board powers the connected aerosol generating device through the control circuit, simulating the charging process in a real-world scenario.

[0062] During the charging process of the aerosol generating device, the voltage and current acquisition circuits on the main circuit board measure the charging voltage and current of the aerosol generating device in real time. The acquisition circuits convert the measured analog signals into digital signals and transmit the charging voltage and current values of the aerosol generating device to the microcontroller (MCU) on the main circuit board via an analog-to-digital converter (ADC).

[0063] The microcontroller on the circuit board packages the collected charging voltage and current values at regular intervals and then uploads them to the main control unit of the aging test equipment via the communication interface. The main control unit aggregates and organizes the data uploaded by each circuit board, encodes the data according to the communication protocol, and transmits it to the host computer. After receiving the data uploaded by the aging test equipment, the host computer decodes and analyzes it, extracting the charging voltage and current values for each aerosol generating device. The host computer's software system displays and stores this data in real time for user viewing and analysis.

[0064] The host computer pre-sets standard voltage and current reference ranges. It compares and analyzes the actual measured values received with the evaluation rules and generates the corresponding aging test results based on the comparison results. For example, if the charging voltage and charging current values of the aerosol generating device are both within the standard range, the aging test result of the aerosol generating device is determined to be passed. If either the charging voltage or the charging current value is above or below the corresponding standard range, the aging test result of the aerosol generating device is determined to be failed.

[0065] The aerosol-generating device aging test system provided in the embodiments of this application automates the aerosol-generating device aging test process. From issuing test instructions and executing tests to data collection and generating results, the entire testing process requires no human intervention. Multiple aerosol-generating devices can be tested simultaneously, saving significant time and labor costs. Furthermore, automated testing reduces the impact of human factors on test results, improving test accuracy and reliability.

[0066] By setting the target channel number, a single aerosol generating device can be precisely located for aging testing. Each aerosol generating device corresponds to an independent circuit board and circuit channel, preventing interference between multiple aerosol generating devices and ensuring the accuracy and independence of test data. The host computer can receive and display and analyze the charging voltage and current values uploaded by the aging test device in real time, allowing users to understand the performance changes and operating status of each aerosol generating device during the aging process and promptly detect abnormalities.

[0067] In a possible implementation, each circuit board is pre-burned with an aging test program and a channel number corresponding to the circuit board is written. Figure 2 As shown, each circuit main board includes an interface for plugging in the aerosol generating device to be tested and a serial port for connecting to the host computer, and the interface is marked with a corresponding channel number.

[0068] Before assembling the burn-in test equipment, technicians use specialized programming tools to program the burn-in test into the memory chip of each circuit board. At the same time, a unique channel number is written for each circuit board. This channel number is stored in the circuit board's non-volatile memory (such as Flash memory) to ensure it is not lost even if the equipment is powered off. For example, a programmer is used to write the program and channel number to the circuit board through a specific programming interface.

[0069] For each interface on the circuit board used to plug in the aerosol generating device to be tested, clearly mark the corresponding channel number with a label or silk screen. This way, in actual operation, the operator can intuitively plug the aerosol generating device into the correct interface.

[0070] In some optional embodiments, multiple aerosol-generating devices to be tested are first inserted into the interfaces corresponding to the channel numbers of the aging test equipment. The aging test equipment is then connected to a host computer via the serial ports of each circuit board, establishing a physical link for data transmission. After the host computer is powered on, it performs a self-test and initialization operation, including checking whether the communication connection with the aging test equipment is normal and loading pre-set test parameters and evaluation rules. Simultaneously, the host computer scans all connected serial ports, identifies the channel numbers of each circuit board, and establishes a mapping relationship between the host computer and each circuit board.

[0071] In some optional embodiments, the host computer generates a test instruction based on a user-defined test task or a preset test plan. The test instruction explicitly includes the target channel number, indicating the aerosol generating device corresponding to the channel for which the aging test is to be performed. As an example and not a limitation, the test instruction may also include specific test parameters, such as the aging time and the charging current setting. The host computer transmits the generated test instruction to the aging test device via the serial port.

[0072] Each circuit board in the burn-in test equipment receives test instructions from the host computer via a serial port. The board's microcontroller verifies and parses the instructions, extracting the target channel number and other test parameters. If the target channel number matches the stored channel number, the corresponding burn-in test program is executed. If not, the instruction is ignored.

[0073] When the circuit board determines that an aging test needs to be performed, the inserted aerosol generating device is powered through the control interface to start the aging test process. During the test, the voltage acquisition circuit and the current acquisition circuit on the circuit board monitor the charging voltage and charging current values of the aerosol generating device in real time. Afterwards, the circuit board packages the collected charging voltage and charging current values at a certain time interval (such as once per second), and then uploads the packaged data to the host computer through the serial port. As an example and not a limitation, in the process of uploading the packaged data, necessary verification information can also be added to ensure the accuracy of data transmission.

[0074] After receiving the data uploaded by each circuit board, the host computer parses and processes the data to obtain the charging voltage and charging current values corresponding to each circuit channel. It then compares and analyzes the charging voltage and charging current values corresponding to each circuit channel with the pre-set standard range and generates the aging test results based on the comparison results. If the voltage or current value of a circuit channel is higher or lower than the standard range, the host computer can issue an alarm message, prompting the operator to conduct further inspection.

[0075] In this embodiment, each circuit board is pre-programmed with an independent aging test program, enabling precise test control based on the characteristics of the aerosol generating device, avoiding interference and errors between different devices. Furthermore, through clear channel number management, test instructions are accurately sent to the target circuit board, improving the targetedness and accuracy of the test.

[0076] Because each circuit board has its own channel number and burn-in test program, adding test channels simply requires adding a circuit board with the corresponding channel number and burn-in test program and connecting it to the host computer. Furthermore, the independent circuit board design facilitates maintenance and upgrades of the burn-in test system. If a circuit board fails, it can be replaced independently without affecting the normal testing of other channels.

[0077] In one possible implementation, each circuit main board further includes:

[0078] Circuit channel, connected to the interface for plugging into the aerosol generating device to be tested.

[0079] The circuit switch is arranged on the circuit channel.

[0080] The controller is connected to the circuit switch and is used to power the aerosol generating device by turning on the circuit switch after receiving a test instruction, and call the aging test program to detect the charging voltage value and charging current value of the device to be tested.

[0081] In some embodiments, during the assembly phase of the burn-in test equipment, circuit channels, circuit switches, and controllers can be integrated onto each circuit board. This ensures that the circuit channels are properly connected to the interface of the aerosol generating device being tested, and that the circuit switches are properly positioned on the circuit channels to control the flow of current. Furthermore, as previously described, a burn-in test program is pre-programmed into each circuit board, along with the corresponding channel number.

[0082] In some embodiments, multiple aerosol generating devices to be tested can be pre-installed into the interfaces of corresponding circuit boards. The aging test device is then connected to a host computer via a serial port. Upon startup, the host computer performs a self-test and initialization, scans all connected serial ports, identifies the channel numbers of each circuit board, and establishes a communication mapping relationship with each circuit board.

[0083] Based on the preset test task or user-entered parameters, the host computer generates a test instruction containing the target channel number and test parameters and sends it to the burn-in test equipment via the serial port. The controller on each circuit board receives the test instruction from the host computer via the serial port. The controller first verifies the test instruction to ensure its integrity and accuracy. It then parses the target channel number in the test instruction. If the channel number matches the stored channel number, the next step is performed; if not, the instruction is ignored.

[0084] When the controller confirms that the test command received is for its own channel, it sends a control signal to the circuit switch, turning it on. Once the circuit switch is closed, the circuit path is connected, powering the aerosol generating device plugged into the interface and placing it into a charging state. Simultaneously, the controller invokes a burn-in test program pre-programmed on the circuit board. This program activates the voltage and current acquisition circuits on the circuit board, monitoring the charging voltage and current of the aerosol generating device in real time.

[0085] The voltage and current acquisition circuits convert the detected analog signals into digital signals and transmit them to the controller. The controller collects and stores this data at regular intervals (e.g., once per second) to ensure that the changes in the charging parameters of the aerosol generating device throughout the aging test can be recorded.

[0086] The controller packages the collected charging voltage and current values, adds necessary verification information, and then uploads the packaged data to the host computer via the serial port. After receiving the data, the host computer parses and stores it for subsequent analysis and generation of aging test results.

[0087] The coordination of the circuit switch and controller allows precise control of the aerosol generating device's power-on time and status. The aerosol generating device is powered on only after receiving a valid test command, avoiding unnecessary energy waste and device wear. Furthermore, upon receiving the test command, the controller automatically invokes the aging test program, automating the aging test process. This allows the aerosol generating device's charging parameters to be tested without human intervention, improving test efficiency and accuracy. The circuit board collects the aerosol generating device's charging voltage and current values in real time and uploads them to the host computer. The host computer can analyze and monitor this data in real time, promptly identifying any abnormalities during the aerosol generating device's charging process, such as excessive voltage or unstable current.

[0088] In one possible implementation, Figure 2 As shown, each circuit main board also includes:

[0089] The status indicator light is connected to the controller and is used to display corresponding aging status information according to the test progress of the aging test program, wherein the aging status information includes at least one of the following: aging test in progress, aging test completed.

[0090] During the production and manufacturing stage of the circuit mainboard, in addition to the integrated circuit channels, circuit switches and controllers, status indicators are also connected to the controller. After the aging test equipment is assembled and powered on, the host computer performs initialization operations, scans the channel numbers of each circuit mainboard and establishes communication connections. At the same time, the controller of the circuit mainboard performs self-tests on itself and the connected status indicators to ensure that the indicator lights are functioning normally.

[0091] Based on the test requirements, the host computer generates a test instruction containing the target channel number and test parameters and sends it to the aging test equipment via the serial port. After receiving the test instruction, the controller on the circuit board verifies and parses it. If the target channel number matches its own channel number, it prepares to initiate the aging test. Specifically, the controller sends a control signal to the circuit switch, closing the switch to power the aerosol generating device and simultaneously invoking the aging test program. At this point, the controller controls the status indicator to display the "aging test in progress" status message based on the program startup status. For example, the indicator can be set to a constant color (such as green) to indicate that the test is in progress.

[0092] During the burn-in test, the controller continuously monitors parameters such as the aerosol generating device's charging voltage and current according to the burn-in test program's logic. It dynamically updates the status indicator display based on the different stages and conditions set by the burn-in test program. For example, when the test reaches a critical step or a specific parameter threshold, the indicator's flashing frequency or color can be changed to provide more detailed information about the test progress.

[0093] When the aging test program determines that the test is complete, the controller stops powering the aerosol generating device (by disconnecting the circuit switch) and updates the display of the status indicator to indicate that "aging test is complete." For example, the indicator light may be changed to another color (such as blue) and remain on, or the indicator light may flash a specific color to indicate the end of the test.

[0094] In this embodiment, the status indicator lights provide intuitive aging status information to operators, allowing them to quickly understand the testing progress of each aerosol generating device without having to navigate complex host computer interfaces or data logs. Furthermore, the clear indications provided by the status indicators help ensure the standardization and accuracy of the testing process, allowing operators to rationally arrange their workflow based on the status of the indicators.

[0095] In one possible implementation, the host computer is also used to predetermine the standard charging voltage range and standard charging current range of the standard aerosol generating device; if during the aging test duration, it is detected that the charging voltage value of the aerosol generating device is continuously within the standard charging voltage range, and the charging current value of the aerosol generating device is continuously within the standard charging current range, then the aging test result of the aerosol generating device is determined to be qualified; if during the aging test duration, it is detected that the charging voltage value of the aerosol generating device is higher or lower than the standard charging voltage range, and / or the charging current value of the aerosol generating device is higher or lower than the standard charging current range, then the aging test result of the aerosol generating device is determined to be unqualified.

[0096] In some embodiments, before performing aging tests on aerosol generating devices, the host computer collects charging data from standard aerosol generating devices under different operating conditions. For example, this data can be collected by performing multiple tests on multiple standard aerosol generating devices, covering the entire process from initial charging to full charging of the standard aerosol generating devices, and obtaining statistics such as the average value and standard deviation of the charging voltage and charging current of the standard aerosol generating devices.

[0097] Based on statistical analysis results, combined with product design requirements and actual usage scenarios, the host computer determines the standard charging voltage and current ranges for standard aerosol generating devices. During the aging test, the host computer receives the charging voltage and current values of each aerosol generating device uploaded by the circuit board via the serial port in real time. The host computer compares the charging voltage values with the predetermined standard charging voltage range, and the charging current values with the standard charging current range. The host computer records whether the charging voltage and current values of each aerosol generating device are within the standard range, as well as the time and specific values when they are above or below the standard range.

[0098] If the host computer detects that the charging voltage and current of an aerosol generating device remain within the standard charging voltage and current ranges during the aging test, the host computer determines that the device has passed the aging test. Furthermore, the host computer may store the channel number, test data, and test results of the qualified aerosol generating device in a database and generate a corresponding report.

[0099] If, during the aging test duration, the host computer detects that the charging voltage of an aerosol generating device is above or below the standard charging voltage range, and / or the charging current is above or below the standard charging current range, or both, the host computer determines that the aerosol generating device has failed the aging test. The host computer records the abnormal data of the failed aerosol generating device and the details of the above or below standard range, and generates an alarm message to prompt the operator to conduct further inspection and take appropriate measures.

[0100] By predetermining the standard charging voltage and current ranges and performing real-time comparative monitoring during the aging test, the host computer can accurately determine the aging test results of the aerosol generating device. Real-time monitoring of the charging voltage and current values during the aging test can promptly identify potential issues with the aerosol generating device. If the charging parameters of an aerosol generating device are above or below the standard range, it may indicate quality issues or unstable performance. Promptly identifying these issues can prevent substandard products from entering the market and improve overall product quality.

[0101] In addition, the storage and analysis of aging test data by the host computer can provide strong support for the optimization of the production process. By analyzing a large amount of test data, the weak links in the production process can be found, and corresponding improvement measures can be taken to improve the production process and quality control level of the product.

[0102] In one possible implementation, the host computer is also used to automatically scan all serial ports of the aging test equipment after it is turned on; and read the channel number corresponding to the circuit main board connected to each scanned serial port; the host computer is also used to establish and record the association between each serial port and the corresponding channel number, where each channel number uses a unique identifier.

[0103] In some optional embodiments, after the host computer is powered on, it first performs system initialization operations, including loading necessary drivers and configuring communication parameters. After completing initialization, the host computer automatically scans all serial ports connected to the computer by calling the serial port management interface provided by the operating system. The host computer sends a specific scanning command to each accessible serial port to detect whether the circuit board of the burn-in test equipment is connected.

[0104] After receiving a scan command from the host computer, each circuit board in the burn-in test equipment first verifies the scan command to ensure its legitimacy and integrity. The controller then reads the pre-programmed channel number from the storage unit and returns it to the host computer via the serial port.

[0105] In some embodiments, the host computer continuously monitors responses from each serial port. Upon receiving a response from a particular serial port, the host computer extracts the channel number contained in the response. Furthermore, after obtaining the channel number corresponding to each serial port, the host computer establishes an association / mapping relationship between the serial port and the channel number by creating a mapping table in memory. The key of this mapping table is the serial port identifier, and the value is the corresponding channel number. The host computer also stores this association in a local database or configuration file for quick access and use during subsequent testing.

[0106] In an embodiment of the present application, the host computer automatically scans the serial port and reads the channel number to realize the automated configuration process of the aging test equipment. There is no need for manual intervention and setting. The operator only needs to connect the aging test equipment to the host computer to automatically complete the association configuration of the serial port and the channel number. By establishing and recording the association relationship between each serial port and the corresponding channel number, the host computer can accurately locate each aging test channel. When issuing a test instruction, the host computer can accurately select the corresponding serial port for communication according to the target channel number, ensuring that the test instruction can be accurately sent to the specified circuit main board, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the test. In addition, since each channel number uses a unique identifier, when it is necessary to increase or decrease the aging test channel, it is only necessary to adjust the number of circuit main boards and the channel number settings accordingly, and the host computer can automatically identify and update the association relationship.

[0107] In some examples, the serial ports are scanned one by one at the beginning. For example, if the channel number of the COM5 serial port is 1st layer CH2, then when 1st layer CH2 is opened, the corresponding serial port is COM5. The channel number (1st layer CH2) and the serial port (COM5 serial port) are saved in a data format corresponding to each other. The serial port can be found by searching the channel number, or the channel number can be found by searching the serial port.

[0108] It's important to understand that COM stands for "Communication." In computing, a COM port refers to a serial communication port, also known as a serial port. It's an interface used to transmit serial data between a computer and an external device. "5" is the serial port number. A computer can have multiple serial ports, identified by different numbers. For example, there are COM1, COM2, COM3, and so on. COM5 is a specific serial port.

[0109] In addition, if Figure 3 As shown, for easy distinction (especially in the user interface), multiple levels of circuit channels are represented by "CH" followed by numbers, such as "CH1-8" representing circuit channels 1 to 8. In the burn-in test program, each circuit channel is represented in the form of "layer-channel number", for example, "1-5" represents circuit channel 5 on the first layer, and "1-2" represents circuit channel 2 on the first layer. This allows for clearer positioning and management of circuit channels at different levels in the burn-in test program. The "CH" representation of circuit channels in the user interface is more intuitive and easy to understand, making it easier for users to operate and identify.

[0110] like Figure 4 The user interface shown (such as the aging test interface), where CH is the channel, cnt is the number of aging tests, prj is the project number, Num is the device serial number, HL is the device resistance, Vbat is the device voltage, Vusb is the charging voltage value, Iusb is the charging current value, Status is the aging status information, IDLE is idle, and COM is the serial port number.

[0111] The user interface displays the first level of an eight-level page hierarchy. The user is currently viewing or operating information related to the first-level channels of the aging test equipment. Channel information displayed on the user interface, such as "CH1-8," corresponds to channels 1 through 8 on the first level, corresponding to "1-1," "1-2," and so on in the program. The operations performed or information viewed on these channels on the interface are actually related to the test data or status of the aerosol generating equipment on the first level.

[0112] This application embodiment provides an embodiment of an aging test method for an aerosol generating device, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5The following is a schematic flow chart of an aging test method for an aerosol generating device provided herein. By way of example and not limitation, the method can be applied to or run in an aging test system for an aerosol generating device. The method includes:

[0113] S501: Receive a test instruction sent by a host computer, wherein the test instruction carries at least a target channel number.

[0114] S502 , controlling the circuit mainboard corresponding to the target channel number in the aging test device to detect the charging voltage and charging current of the connected aerosol generating device.

[0115] The aging test device is provided with a plurality of circuit main boards, and each circuit main board is connected to an aerosol generating device via a circuit channel.

[0116] S503 , uploading the charging voltage value and the charging current value of the aerosol generating device to the host computer, so that the host computer generates corresponding aging test results according to the charging voltage value and the charging current value of the aerosol generating device.

[0117] In some optional embodiments, multiple aerosol-generating devices to be tested can be inserted into different circuit channels of the aging test device. Each circuit channel has a corresponding interface to ensure that the aerosol-generating device can be stably connected to the aging test device to ensure reliable charging and data transmission.

[0118] In some optional embodiments, the aging test device is internally equipped with multiple circuit boards, each corresponding to a circuit channel. The circuit boards provide control, measurement, and data transmission functions, with electrical connections between the various functional modules achieved through printed circuit board (PCB) wiring. Furthermore, the circuit boards are equipped with acquisition circuits for measuring charging voltage and current, such as voltage acquisition circuits and current acquisition circuits, to accurately and in real time obtain the charging parameters of the aerosol generating device.

[0119] In some optional embodiments, the aging test device is connected to the host computer through a standard communication interface (such as a serial port, USB interface or Ethernet interface) to achieve stable and high-speed data transmission, ensuring that instructions and data between the host computer and the aging test device can interact accurately.

[0120] In some optional embodiments, the host computer generates a test instruction based on the test requirements. The test instruction includes at least a target channel number, which specifies the circuit channel of the aerosol generating device to be subjected to the aging test. Furthermore, the test instruction may include other test parameters, such as the duration of the aging test and the test mode. As an example and not a limitation, the host computer software system automatically generates the corresponding test instruction based on user settings or a preset test plan and transmits it to the aging test device via the communication interface.

[0121] In some optional embodiments, after receiving a test instruction from a host computer, the aging test device first verifies the instruction to ensure its integrity and accuracy. It then parses the instruction according to the communication protocol, extracting the target channel number and other relevant parameters. Based on the parsed target channel number, the aging test device locates the circuit board corresponding to the target channel number and sends a control signal to it, initiating the aging test procedure. Upon receiving the control signal, the circuit board powers the connected aerosol generating device through the control circuit, simulating the charging process in a real-world scenario.

[0122] During the charging process of the aerosol generating device, the voltage and current acquisition circuits on the main circuit board measure the charging voltage and current of the aerosol generating device in real time. The acquisition circuits convert the measured analog signals into digital signals and transmit the charging voltage and current values of the aerosol generating device to the microcontroller (MCU) on the main circuit board via an analog-to-digital converter (ADC).

[0123] The microcontroller on the circuit board packages the collected charging voltage and current values at regular intervals and then uploads them to the main control unit of the aging test equipment via the communication interface. The main control unit aggregates and organizes the data uploaded by each circuit board, encodes the data according to the communication protocol, and transmits it to the host computer. After receiving the data uploaded by the aging test equipment, the host computer decodes and analyzes it, extracting the charging voltage and current values for each aerosol generating device. The host computer's software system displays and stores this data in real time for user viewing and analysis.

[0124] The host computer pre-sets standard voltage and current reference ranges. It compares and analyzes the actual measured values received with the evaluation rules and generates the corresponding aging test results based on the comparison results. For example, if the charging voltage and charging current values of the aerosol generating device are both within the standard range, the aging test result of the aerosol generating device is determined to be passed. If either the charging voltage or the charging current value is above or below the corresponding standard range, the aging test result of the aerosol generating device is determined to be failed.

[0125] The aging test method for aerosol-generating devices provided in the embodiments of this application automates the aging test process for aerosol-generating devices. From issuing test instructions and executing the test to data collection and generating results, the entire testing process requires no human intervention. Multiple aerosol-generating devices can be tested simultaneously, saving significant time and labor costs. Furthermore, automated testing reduces the impact of human factors on test results, improving test accuracy and reliability.

[0126] By setting the target channel number, a single aerosol generating device can be precisely located for aging testing. Each aerosol generating device corresponds to an independent circuit board and circuit channel, preventing interference between multiple aerosol generating devices and ensuring the accuracy and independence of test data. The host computer can receive and display and analyze the charging voltage and current values uploaded by the aging test device in real time, allowing users to understand the performance changes and operating status of each aerosol generating device during the aging process and promptly detect abnormalities.

[0127] In one possible implementation, each circuit main board is pre-burned with an aging test program and a channel number corresponding to the circuit main board is written in it; each circuit main board includes an interface for plugging in an aerosol generating device to be tested and a serial port for connecting to a host computer, and the interface is marked with the corresponding channel number.

[0128] Before assembling the burn-in test equipment, technicians use specialized programming tools to program the burn-in test into the memory chip of each circuit board. At the same time, a unique channel number is written for each circuit board. This channel number is stored in the circuit board's non-volatile memory (such as Flash memory) to ensure it is not lost even if the equipment is powered off. For example, a programmer is used to write the program and channel number to the circuit board through a specific programming interface.

[0129] For each interface on the circuit board used to plug in the aerosol generating device to be tested, clearly mark the corresponding channel number with a label or silk screen. This way, in actual operation, the operator can intuitively plug the aerosol generating device into the correct interface.

[0130] In some optional embodiments, multiple aerosol-generating devices to be tested are first inserted into the interfaces corresponding to the channel numbers of the aging test equipment. The aging test equipment is then connected to a host computer via the serial ports of each circuit board, establishing a physical link for data transmission. After the host computer is powered on, it performs a self-test and initialization operation, including checking whether the communication connection with the aging test equipment is normal and loading pre-set test parameters and evaluation rules. Simultaneously, the host computer scans all connected serial ports, identifies the channel numbers of each circuit board, and establishes a mapping relationship between the host computer and each circuit board.

[0131] In some optional embodiments, the host computer generates a test instruction based on a user-defined test task or a preset test plan. The test instruction explicitly includes the target channel number, indicating the aerosol generating device corresponding to the channel for which the aging test is to be performed. As an example and not a limitation, the test instruction may also include specific test parameters, such as the aging time and the charging current setting. The host computer transmits the generated test instruction to the aging test device via the serial port.

[0132] Each circuit board in the burn-in test equipment receives test instructions from the host computer via a serial port. The board's microcontroller verifies and parses the instructions, extracting the target channel number and other test parameters. If the target channel number matches the stored channel number, the corresponding burn-in test program is executed. If not, the instruction is ignored.

[0133] When the circuit board determines that an aging test needs to be performed, the inserted aerosol generating device is powered through the control interface to start the aging test process. During the test, the voltage acquisition circuit and the current acquisition circuit on the circuit board monitor the charging voltage and charging current values of the aerosol generating device in real time. Afterwards, the circuit board packages the collected charging voltage and charging current values at a certain time interval (such as once per second), and then uploads the packaged data to the host computer through the serial port. As an example and not a limitation, in the process of uploading the packaged data, necessary verification information can also be added to ensure the accuracy of data transmission.

[0134] After receiving the data uploaded by each circuit board, the host computer parses and processes the data to obtain the charging voltage and charging current values corresponding to each circuit channel. It then compares and analyzes the charging voltage and charging current values corresponding to each circuit channel with the pre-set standard range and generates the aging test results based on the comparison results. If the voltage or current value of a circuit channel is higher or lower than the standard range, the host computer can issue an alarm message, prompting the operator to conduct further inspection.

[0135] In this embodiment, each circuit board is pre-programmed with an independent aging test program, enabling precise test control based on the characteristics of the aerosol generating device, avoiding interference and errors between different devices. Furthermore, through clear channel number management, test instructions are accurately sent to the target circuit board, improving the targetedness and accuracy of the test.

[0136] Because each circuit board has its own channel number and burn-in test program, adding a test channel simply requires adding a circuit board with the corresponding channel number and burn-in test program and connecting it to the host computer. Furthermore, the independent circuit board design facilitates maintenance and upgrades of the burn-in test system. If a circuit board fails, it can be replaced independently without affecting the normal testing of other channels.

[0137] It should be understood that the size of the serial numbers of the steps in the above embodiments does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.
