Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aerosol supply technology, and in particular to a control method for an aerosol supply system, an aerosol supply system, a computer device, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Typically, an e-cigarette comes in a single flavor, but sometimes a combination of two or more flavors offers consumers different choices. Consequently, some e-cigarettes with mixed flavors are now available on the market. This approach allows consumers flexibility, allowing them to choose any flavor or two or more simultaneously.

[0003] For example, if the same e-cigarette offers two flavors to users, both flavors can be used individually, or if a flavor mix is ​​desired, the two cartridges can be mechanically combined using a magnetic needle or other method. While this method meets users' diverse flavor needs, it also presents a problem: since the user inhales from two cartridges simultaneously, the nicotine release is doubled, potentially impacting the user's health and making it difficult to comply with relevant health regulations.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a new control method for an aerosol supply system to solve one or more of the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides a control method for an aerosol delivery system, an aerosol delivery system, a computer device, and a storage medium. These methods address the technical problem of controlling nicotine release while satisfying users' diverse taste needs and preventing health risks.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a control method for an aerosol supply system, comprising:

[0007] Determine the number n of cigarette cartridges used simultaneously by the aerosol supply system and obtain the preset heating power A and the preset heating time T of the cigarette cartridges, where n is a positive integer, and A and T are any positive numbers;

[0008] Determine the corresponding heating strategy according to the number n of the cigarette cartridges, the preset heating power A, and the preset heating time T;

[0009] During one puff, the cigarette cartridge is heated according to the heating strategy.

[0010] Through the embodiments of the present application, the amount of nicotine released can be controlled while satisfying the user's needs for diverse tastes, thereby reducing the impact on the user's health.

[0011] In one technical solution of the above-mentioned aerosol supply system, heating the cigarette cartridge according to the heating strategy during one puff includes:

[0012] When the number n of the cigarette cartridges is 1, the preset heating power A is used to heat the cigarette cartridge for the preset heating time T.

[0013] It is understandable that, assuming the preset heating power required for the normal operation of a cigarette cartridge is A and the preset heating time is T, the total energy required is A*T, and the corresponding nicotine release is S. Using the control method for an aerosol supply system provided in this application, when the number of cigarette cartridges is one, the total energy consumed by the cigarette cartridge in a single puff remains A*T, and thus the nicotine release remains S. This does not affect the user's health due to an increase in nicotine release, nor does it affect the user's taste due to an insufficient nicotine release.

[0014] In one technical solution of the above-mentioned aerosol supply system, heating the cigarette cartridge according to the heating strategy during one puff includes:

[0015] When the number of the cigarette cartridges n is greater than or equal to 2, the preset heating power A is used to heat each of the cigarette cartridges in sequence, and the total heating time of all the cigarette cartridges is T.

[0016] In one technical solution of the above-mentioned aerosol supply system, heating the cigarette cartridge according to the heating strategy during one puff includes:

[0017] When the number of the cigarette cartridges n≥2, m cycles are repeated, and in each cycle, the preset heating power A is used to heat each cigarette cartridge in turn for a time T / (m*n), where m is a positive integer.

[0018] In one technical solution of the above-mentioned aerosol supply system, heating the cigarette cartridge according to the heating strategy during one puff includes:

[0019] When the number of the cigarette cartridges n is greater than or equal to 2, all the cigarette cartridges are heated simultaneously using n times the preset heating power A, and the total heating time of the cigarette cartridges is T / n.

[0020] In one technical solution of the above-mentioned aerosol supply system, heating the cigarette cartridge according to the heating strategy during one puff includes:

[0021] When the number of the cigarette cartridges n≥2, l cycles are repeated, and in each cycle, n times the preset heating power A is used to heat all the cigarette cartridges simultaneously, and the total heating time is T / (l*n), where l is a positive integer.

[0022] Similarly, when the number of cigarette cartridges n≥2, using the control method for an aerosol supply system provided in the present application, the total energy consumed by multiple cigarette cartridges in one puff is still A*T, and thus the amount of nicotine released is still S. This will neither affect the user's health due to the increase in nicotine release, nor affect the user's taste due to the nicotine release being less than two.

[0023] In one technical solution of the above-mentioned aerosol supply system, determining the number n of cigarette cartridges used simultaneously by the aerosol supply system includes:

[0024] The resistance value of the cigarette cartridge insertion point in the aerosol supply system is detected, and the number n of cigarette cartridges used simultaneously in the aerosol supply system is determined based on the resistance value.

[0025] Through the embodiments of the present application, the number of cigarette cartridges used simultaneously by the aerosol supply system can be quickly determined by detecting the resistance value of the cigarette cartridge insertion point, which can improve the efficiency and convenience of use.

[0026] In one technical solution of the above-mentioned aerosol supply system, obtaining the preset heating power A and the preset heating time T of the cigarette cartridge includes:

[0027] The nicotine release amount of the aerosol supply system is determined, and the preset heating power A and the preset heating time T of the cigarette cartridge are determined according to the nicotine release amount.

[0028] It is understandable that if the nicotine release rate is too low, it will affect the user's taste, while if the nicotine release rate is too high, it will affect the user's health and will not comply with relevant health regulations. Therefore, the nicotine release rate of each cartridge should meet the above two requirements at the same time. Therefore, the preset heating power A and preset heating time T of the cartridge can be determined according to the nicotine release rate of the current aerosol supply system, so that the nicotine release rate of the cartridge meets the requirements in one puff.

[0029] In one technical solution of the above-mentioned aerosol supply system, the flavors of the various cigarette cartridges are different or the same.

[0030] In one technical solution of the above-mentioned aerosol supply system, the number of the cigarette cartridges is 2.

[0031] In one technical solution of the above-mentioned aerosol supply system, the aerosol supply system includes an atomizing electronic cigarette.

[0032] In one technical solution of the above-mentioned aerosol supply system, heating the cigarette cartridge according to the heating strategy during one puff includes:

[0033] The cigarette cartridge is heated using a preset power supply device according to the heating strategy.

[0034] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an aerosol supply system, wherein the system is configured to heat a contained cigarette cartridge according to any one of the methods of the first aspect.

[0035] In a third aspect, the present invention provides a computer device comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program that can be run on the processor, and when the computer program is executed by the processor, the control method for an aerosol supply system as described in any one of the first aspects is implemented.

[0036] In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program, characterized in that when the computer program is executed, it implements the control method for an aerosol supply system as described in any one of the first aspects.

[0037] The above one or more technical solutions of the present invention have at least one or more of the following beneficial effects:

[0038] In implementing the technical solution of the present invention, the number n of cartridges used simultaneously by the aerosol supply system is first determined, and the preset heating power A and preset heating time T of the cartridges are obtained, where n is a positive integer, and A and T are arbitrary positive numbers. Secondly, a corresponding heating strategy is determined based on the number n of cartridges, the preset heating power A, and the preset heating time T. Finally, during a single puff, the cartridges are heated according to the heating strategy. Through this application solution, while satisfying the user's demand for diverse electronic cigarette flavors, the nicotine release amount can be controlled during the puff process to avoid affecting the user's health.

[0039] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description which follows, or may be learned through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Suitable thermal effect agents may be, but are not limited to, vanillyl ethyl ether, and suitable cooling agents may be, but are not limited to, eucalyptol, WS-3.

[0077] An aerosol generating material is a material that is capable of generating an aerosol when heated, irradiated or energized in any other way. The aerosol generating material may, for example, be in the form of a solid, liquid or gel, which may or may not contain active substances and / or fragrances. In some embodiments, the aerosol generating material may include an "amorphous solid", which may alternatively be referred to as a "monolithic solid" (i.e., non-fibrous). In some embodiments, the amorphous solid may be a dry gel. An amorphous solid is a solid material that can retain some fluid (e.g., liquid) within it. In some embodiments, the aerosol generating material may, for example, include from about 50 wt%, 60 wt% or 70 wt% amorphous solid to about 90 wt%, 95 wt% or 100 wt% amorphous solid.

[0078] The aerosol-generating material may comprise one or more active substances and / or flavouring agents, one or more aerosol-former materials, and optionally one or more other functional materials.

[0079] The aerosol-forming material may include one or more components capable of forming an aerosol.

[0080] The one or more other functional materials may include one or more of a pH adjuster, a colorant, a preservative, a binder, a filler, a stabilizer, and / or an antioxidant.

[0081] The material may be present on or within a carrier to form a substrate. The carrier may be or include, for example, paper, cardboard, paperboard, reconstituted material, plastic material, ceramic material, composite material, glass, metal, or metal alloy. In some embodiments, the carrier includes the susceptor. In some embodiments, the susceptor is embedded within the material. In some alternative embodiments, the susceptor is on one or either side of the material.

[0082] A consumable is an article comprising or consisting of an aerosol-generating material, some or all of which is intended to be consumed by a user during use. A consumable may include one or more other components, such as an aerosol-generating material storage area, an aerosol-generating material delivery component, an aerosol-generating region, a housing, a wrapper, a mouthpiece, a filter, and / or an aerosol modifier. A consumable may also include an aerosol generator, such as a heater, which releases heat during use to cause the aerosol-generating material to generate an aerosol. The heater may, for example, comprise a combustible material, a material that can be heated by electrical conduction, or a susceptor.

[0083] A susceptor is a material that can be heated by penetrating it with a varying magnetic field (e.g., an alternating magnetic field). The susceptor can be a conductive material, such that penetration by the varying magnetic field results in inductive heating of the heated material. The heated material can be a magnetic material, such that penetration by the varying magnetic field results in hysteresis heating of the heated material. A susceptor can be both conductive and magnetic, allowing it to be heated by both heating mechanisms. A device configured to generate a varying magnetic field is referred to herein as a magnetic field generator.

[0084] An aerosol modifier is a substance typically located downstream of an aerosol generation region that is configured to modify the generated aerosol, for example, by changing the taste, flavor, acidity, or another characteristic of the aerosol. The aerosol modifier can be disposed in an aerosol modifier release component that is operable to selectively release the aerosol modifier. For example, the aerosol modifier can be an additive or an adsorbent. For example, the aerosol modifier can include one or more of a flavoring, a colorant, water, and a carbon adsorbent. For example, the aerosol modifier can be a solid, a liquid, or a gel. The aerosol modifier can be in the form of a powder, string, or granules. The aerosol modifier can be free of filter material.

[0085] An aerosol generator is a device configured to cause an aerosol to be generated from an aerosol-generating material. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is a heater configured to subject the aerosol-generating material to thermal energy to release one or more volatiles from the aerosol-generating material to form an aerosol. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is configured to cause an aerosol to be generated from the aerosol-generating material without heating. For example, the aerosol generator can be configured to subject the aerosol-generating material to one or more of vibration, increased pressure, or electrostatic energy.

[0086] The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery systems (which may also be referred to as vapor delivery systems), such as atomizers or electronic cigarettes. In the following description, the term "electronic cigarette" or "electronic cigarette" may sometimes be used, but it will be understood that this term can be used interchangeably with aerosol delivery systems / devices and electronic aerosol delivery systems / devices. In addition, as is common in the art, the terms "aerosol" and "vapor" and related terms such as "evaporation," "atomization," and "aerosolization" are often used interchangeably.

[0087] Aerosol delivery systems (electronic cigarettes) typically (although not always) include modular components that include a reusable device portion and a replaceable (disposable / consumable) cartridge component. Typically, the replaceable cartridge component will include an aerosol generating material and a vaporizer (which can be collectively referred to as an "atomizer"), and the reusable device portion will include a power supply (e.g., a rechargeable power supply) and a control circuit. It will be understood that these different parts may include additional elements depending on their function. For example, the reusable device portion will typically include a user interface for receiving user input and displaying operating status features, and the replaceable cartridge device portion in some cases includes a temperature sensor for helping to control temperature. The cartridge is electrically and mechanically connected to the control unit for use, for example, using a thread, a bayonet, or a magnetic connection with appropriately arranged electrical contacts. When the aerosol generating material in the cartridge is exhausted, or when the user wishes to switch to a different cartridge with a different aerosol generating material, the cartridge can be removed from the reusable component and a replacement cartridge attached to its appropriate position. Systems and devices that conform to this type of two-piece modular configuration may generally be referred to as two-piece systems / devices.

[0088] Electronic cigarettes typically have a generally elongated shape. To provide a specific example, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be considered to include such a generally elongated two-piece system employing a disposable cartridge. However, it will be understood that the basic principles described herein can be equally applicable to different configurations, such as a one-piece system or a modular system comprising more than two components, refillable devices and single-use disposables, as well as other overall shapes, such as high-performance devices based on so-called box-shaped models that typically have a box shape. More generally, it will be understood that certain embodiments of the present disclosure are based on an aerosol delivery system that is operatively configured to provide functionality according to the principles described herein, and that the structural aspects of the system configured to provide functionality according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure are not primarily important.

[0089] As described in the background, existing aerosol supply systems can combine two cartridges together using mechanical methods such as magnetic needles to mix flavors. While this method meets users' diverse taste needs, it also presents a problem: since users inhale two cartridges simultaneously, the nicotine release is doubled, potentially impacting the user's health and making it difficult to comply with relevant health regulations. Based on this, the present application proposes a control method for an aerosol supply system that can control the nicotine release during the inhalation process while meeting users' diverse taste needs, thereby preventing any impact on the user's health.

[0090] Example 1

[0091] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a control method for an aerosol supply system provided in Example 1 of the present application. The method is applied to one side of the aerosol supply system, with reference to Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0092] S100: Determine the number n of cigarette cartridges used simultaneously by the aerosol supply system and obtain the preset heating power A and preset heating time T of the cigarette cartridges, where n is a positive integer, and A and T are any positive numbers.

[0093] As previously mentioned, the present application aims to provide a control method for an aerosol delivery system that can satisfy users' diverse taste needs while also controlling the nicotine release rate. It is understood that the nicotine release rate of a cigarette is related to factors such as the number of cigarette cartridges, heating power, and heating time. Therefore, when implementing the control method provided in the embodiments of the present application, it is necessary to first determine the number n of cigarette cartridges currently in use by the aerosol delivery system, the preset heating power A corresponding to each cigarette cartridge, and the preset heating time T.

[0094] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the number n of the cigarette cartridges is any positive integer, and the preset heating power A and the preset heating time T of the cigarette cartridges are any positive numbers.

[0095] S200: Determine a corresponding heating strategy according to the number n of cigarette cartridges, the preset heating power A, and the preset heating time T.

[0096] Specifically, as mentioned above, since the nicotine release of a cigarette is related to factors such as the number of cartridges, heating power and heating time, in order to ensure that the nicotine release meets the demand, the embodiment of the present application adopts a heating strategy determined according to the number n of cartridges used simultaneously by the aerosol supply system, the preset heating power A of the cartridges and the preset heating time T.

[0097] S300: During a puff, the cigarette cartridge is heated according to the heating strategy.

[0098] Specifically, the control method of the aerosol supply system provided in the embodiment of the present application controls the nicotine release amount of the aerosol supply system corresponding to each physical cigarette by controlling the nicotine release amount in each puff. On the one hand, the nicotine release amount in each puff of the cigarette cartridge does not increase, thereby avoiding affecting the health of the user. On the other hand, the nicotine release amount is prevented from being too low, which affects the user's taste.

[0099] As a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, heating the cigarette cartridge according to the heating strategy during one puff includes:

[0100] When the number n of the cigarette cartridges is 1, the preset heating power A is used to heat the cigarette cartridge for the preset heating time T.

[0101] Specifically, the nicotine release amount required by the cigarette cartridge in a single puff is set to S. Correspondingly, the preset heating power required for the normal operation of the cigarette cartridge is A, and the preset heating time is T, so the total energy required is A*T. When the number of cigarette cartridges n is 1, using the control method for an aerosol supply system provided in this application, the total energy consumed by the cigarette cartridge in a single puff = preset heating power * preset heating time, which is still A*T. Therefore, the nicotine release amount of the cigarette cartridge in a single puff remains S. Neither the increase in nicotine release will affect the user's health, nor will the user's taste be affected by insufficient nicotine release.

[0102] In a specific embodiment, heating the cigarette cartridge according to the heating strategy during a puff includes:

[0103] When the number of the cigarette cartridges n is greater than or equal to 2, the preset heating power A is used to heat each of the cigarette cartridges in sequence, and the total heating time of all the cigarette cartridges is T.

[0104] It is understood that when there are multiple cigarette cartridges, the preset heating power and preset heating time corresponding to each cigarette cartridge can be the same or different. When the preset heating power and preset heating time corresponding to each cigarette cartridge are different, the preset heating power and preset heating time corresponding to each cigarette cartridge are used to heat them separately. For ease of explanation, the following description of the embodiments of the present application assumes that the preset heating power and preset heating time corresponding to each cigarette cartridge are the same.

[0105] Specifically, when the aerosol delivery system uses multiple cartridges simultaneously (i.e., n ≥ 2), using the control method for an aerosol delivery system provided in this application, the total energy consumed by all cartridges in a single puff should be equal to the sum of the energy consumed by each cartridge. It is understandable that when the total energy consumed by all cartridges in a single puff is A*T, the nicotine release amount remains S.

[0106] The following describes the control method provided by the present application with the number of cartridges n being 2. Figure 2 As shown, it is assumed that the aerosol supply system uses two cartridges at the same time, including Pod1 and Pod2, and the preset heating power of the cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 are both A, and the preset heating time is T. The preset heating power A is used to heat the cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 in turn, and the total heating time of the cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 is T. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, taking the heating power A as an example to heat the cigarette cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 in turn for T / 2, the total energy consumed by the cigarette cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 should be A*T / 2+A*T / 2=A*T, that is, the total energy consumed by the cigarette cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 is still A*T, so in one puff, the nicotine release amount of the cigarette cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 is still S.

[0107] In another specific embodiment, heating the cigarette cartridge according to the heating strategy during a puff includes:

[0108] When the number of the cigarette cartridges n≥2, m cycles are repeated, and in each cycle, the preset heating power A is used to heat each of the cigarette cartridges in turn for a time T / (m*n), where m is a positive integer.

[0109] Specifically, as described above, when the aerosol supply system uses multiple cartridges simultaneously (i.e., n ≥ 2), as long as the total energy consumed by all cartridges in a single puff is A*T, the nicotine release amount remains S. Based on this, in the control method for an aerosol supply system provided in the embodiment of the present application, in addition to heating the cartridges in the above manner, m cycles can also be repeated, and in each cycle, each cartridge is heated in turn using a preset heating power A for a time T / (m*n), where m is a positive integer.

[0110] The following description still uses the number of cartridges n as 2 to illustrate the control method provided by the present application. Figure 3As shown, it is assumed that the aerosol supply system uses two cartridges at the same time, namely Pod1 and Pod2, and the preset heating power of Pod1 and Pod2 are both A and the preset heating time is T. The preset heating power A is used to heat the cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 for T / (m*n) respectively, and m cycles are repeated. Figure 3 As shown, taking m as 2 as an example, T / (m*n)=T / 4, and the heating power A is used to heat the cigarette cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 for T / 4 time respectively. Repeat two cycles, then the total energy consumed by the cigarette cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 should be (A*T / 4+A*T / 4)*2=A*T, that is, the total energy consumed by the cigarette cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 is still A*T, then in one puff, the nicotine release of the cigarette cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 is still S.

[0111] In another specific embodiment, heating the cigarette cartridge according to the heating strategy during a puff includes:

[0112] When the number of the cigarette cartridges n is greater than or equal to 2, all the cigarette cartridges are heated simultaneously using n times the preset heating power A, and the total heating time of the cigarette cartridges is T / n.

[0113] It is understandable that when there are n cigarette cartridges, when it is necessary to heat n cigarette cartridges simultaneously, it is necessary to use n times the preset heating power. At the same time, based on the principle described above that as long as the total energy consumed by all cigarette cartridges in a single puff is ensured to be A*T, the nicotine release amount remains S, the control method for the aerosol supply system provided in the embodiment of the present application can also use n times the preset heating power A to heat all cigarette cartridges simultaneously when heating the cigarette cartridges according to the heating strategy, and the total heating time of the cigarette cartridges is T / n.

[0114] The following description still assumes that the number of cartridges n is 2. Figure 4 As shown, assuming that the aerosol supply system uses two cartridges at the same time, including Pod1 and Pod2, the preset heating power of Pod1 and Pod2 are both A, and the preset heating time is both T. The preset heating power A is n times that of the preset heating power to heat Pod1 and Pod2 at the same time, and the total heating time of Pod1 and Pod2 is T / n. Figure 4 As shown, the heating power of 2A is used to heat the cigarette cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 for time T / 2 at the same time. The total energy consumed by the cigarette cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 should be 2A*T / 2=A*T, that is, the total energy consumed by the cigarette cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 is still A*T. In one puff, the nicotine release amount of the cigarette cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 is still S.

[0115] In another specific embodiment, heating the cigarette cartridge according to the heating strategy during a puff includes:

[0116] When the number of the cigarette cartridges n≥2, l cycles are repeated, and in each cycle, n times the preset heating power A is used to heat all the cigarette cartridges simultaneously for a total heating time of T / (l*n), where l is a positive integer.

[0117] Specifically, when n cartridges need to be heated simultaneously, l cycles can be repeated, and in each cycle, n times the preset heating power A is used to heat all cartridges simultaneously for a total heating time of T / (l*n), where l is a positive integer.

[0118] The following description still assumes that the number of cartridges n is 2. Figure 5 As shown, assuming that the aerosol supply system uses two cartridges at the same time, including Pod1 and Pod2, the preset heating power of Pod1 and Pod2 are both A, and the preset heating time is both T. n times the preset heating power A is used to heat the cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 at the same time, and the total heating time of the cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 is T / (l*n), and l cycles are repeated. Figure 5 As shown, taking l as 2 as an example, T / (l*n)=T / 4, using a heating power of 2A to heat the cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 for T / 4 time at the same time, repeating two cycles, then the total energy consumed by the cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 should be (2A*T / 4)*2=A*T, that is, the total energy consumed by the cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 is still A*T, then in one puff, the amount of nicotine released by the cartridges Pod1 and Pod2 is still S.

[0119] As a preferred implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, determining the number n of cigarette cartridges used simultaneously by the aerosol supply system includes:

[0120] The resistance value of the cigarette cartridge insertion point in the aerosol supply system is detected, and the number n of cigarette cartridges used simultaneously in the aerosol supply system is determined based on the resistance value.

[0121] Reference Figure 6As shown, the aerosol supply system provided in the embodiment of the present application generally includes a battery, a control system (such as a microcontroller MCU, etc.) and a cigarette cartridge insertion point. The resistance value of the cigarette cartridge insertion point is different when the cigarette cartridge is inserted and not inserted. Therefore, when determining the number n of cigarette cartridges used simultaneously by the aerosol supply system, the number of cigarette cartridges used simultaneously by the aerosol supply system can be quickly determined by detecting the resistance value of the cigarette cartridge insertion point. Such a setting can improve the efficiency and convenience of use. Among them, the detection of the resistance value of the cigarette cartridge insertion point can be executed by a control system (such as a microcontroller MCU) or by other hardware devices, and there is no specific limitation here.

[0122] As a preferred implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, obtaining the preset heating power A and the preset heating time T of the cigarette cartridge includes:

[0123] The nicotine release amount of the aerosol supply system is determined, and the preset heating power A and the preset heating time T of the cigarette cartridge are determined according to the nicotine release amount.

[0124] It is understandable that if the nicotine release rate is too low, it will affect the user's taste, while if the nicotine release rate is too high, it will affect the user's health and will not comply with relevant health regulations. Therefore, the nicotine release rate of each cartridge should meet the above two requirements at the same time. Therefore, the preset heating power A and preset heating time T of the cartridge can be determined according to the nicotine release rate of the current aerosol supply system, so that the nicotine release rate of the cartridge meets the requirements in one puff.

[0125] As a preferred embodiment, in the embodiments of the present application, the flavors of the various cigarette cartridges are different or the same.

[0126] Specifically, the flavors of the cigarette cartridges in the embodiments of the present application include but are not limited to the flavors and flavors of each cigarette cartridge, such as mint flavor, strawberry flavor, orange flavor, etc., which are not listed here one by one.

[0127] It is understandable that in the embodiment of the present application, there is no specific limitation on the number of cartridges used simultaneously by the aerosol supply system. Without violating the inventive concept of the present application, users can make choices based on actual needs. Preferably, the number of cartridges is 2.

[0128] It is also understandable that the aerosol supply system in the embodiment of the present application can be an atomizing electronic cigarette, or other electronic cigarette products, such as a heat-not-burn device, etc., which will not be described one by one here.

[0129] As a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, heating the cigarette cartridge according to the heating strategy during one puff includes:

[0130] The cigarette cartridge is heated using a preset power supply device according to the heating strategy.

[0131] It can be understood that the aerosol supply system in the embodiment of the present application may include a preset power supply device, such as a battery, etc. When heating the cigarette cartridge, the preset power supply device can be used to heat the cigarette cartridge according to the heating strategy. The specific heating process can refer to the relevant existing technology and will not be repeated here.
