Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electronic atomization technology, and in particular to an electronic atomization device, a battery assembly, and an atomizer type identification method. Background Art

[0002] Existing electronic atomizers typically consist of an atomizer and a battery assembly. The atomizer contains a heating element, which, driven by the battery, heats the aerosol-generating substrate stored in the atomizer to form an aerosol. The atomizer and battery assembly are pluggable and removable. The atomizer is typically disposable; once the aerosol-generating substrate is used up, the atomizer is replaced with a new one. The battery assembly is reusable, and after the atomizer is used up, a new one can be replaced.

[0003] However, different types of aerosol-forming substrates can be stored in different types of nebulizers, and these substrates typically require different heating conditions.

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0037] The electronic atomization device of the present application is used to heat the aerosol generating matrix to generate an aerosol for the user. The heating method can be convection, conduction, radiation or a combination thereof. The form of the aerosol generating matrix can be liquid, gel, paste or solid, etc. When the aerosol generating matrix is ​​solid, it can be a solid in the form of crushed, granulated, powdered, granular, strip or sheet. The aerosol generating matrix includes but is not limited to materials used for medical, health, health and beauty purposes, for example, the aerosol generating matrix is ​​a medicinal liquid, oil, or the aerosol generating matrix is ​​a plant material, such as the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, buds, seeds and the like of plants. That is, the embodiments of the present application do not limit the heating method, form and use of the aerosol generating matrix.

[0038] Different types of aerosol-generating matrices can usually be stored in different types of nebulizers. Different types of aerosol-generating matrices usually require different heating conditions. Therefore, when heating the aerosol-generating matrix stored in the nebulizer to form an aerosol, it is very necessary to identify the type of nebulizer.

[0039] It should be noted that the different types of nebulizers referred to in this application are because different types of aerosol-generating matrices are stored in the nebulizers, which leads to different heating conditions required for these nebulizers (for example, different required heating temperatures or heating powers, etc.). Therefore, these nebulizers are considered to be different types of nebulizers, and it is not just because there are differences in the hardware structure of the nebulizers that the types of nebulizers are considered to be different.

[0040] like Figure 1 The electronic atomization device shown in the figure includes a battery assembly 200 and an atomizer 100, and the atomizer includes an atomization assembly 101 and a heating body 102, wherein the atomization assembly 101 is provided with a liquid storage tank for storing an aerosol-generating matrix, and the heating body 102 can heat the aerosol-generating matrix in the liquid storage tank to generate an aerosol, and the heated aerosol can be inhaled by the user. One or more atomization assemblies 101 and one or more heating bodies 102 can be provided in the electronic atomization device, and the atomization assembly 101 corresponds to the heating body 102 one by one, and the battery assembly 200 and the atomizer 100 are pluggable.

[0041] In one embodiment, the atomizer 100 is provided with a first detection portion on one end that is pluggable and connected to the battery assembly 200, and the battery assembly 200 is provided with a second detection portion on one end that is pluggable and connected to the atomizer 100. When the atomizer 100 and the battery assembly 200 are connected, the second detection portion is configured to detect whether it is triggered by the first detection portion and generate a corresponding detection signal. Since different types of atomizers 100 are provided with different first detection portions, the battery assembly 200 can identify the type of the atomizer 100 based on the detection signal.

[0042] Furthermore, the battery assembly 200 can control the heating element 102 to heat the atomizer assembly 101 based on the detected type of the atomizer 100 and the heating power corresponding to the type of the atomizer 100. By setting the type of the atomizer 100 to correspond to the first detection unit and providing a simple second detection unit on the battery assembly 200 to check whether it is triggered by the first detection unit, the type of the atomizer 100 can be identified. This eliminates the need to provide complex circuitry in the electronic atomizer device to identify the type of the atomizer 100, thereby reducing the hardware cost of the electronic atomizer device while achieving atomizer type identification.

[0043] As an example, the first detection part may include multiple detection components, and the second detection component includes a signal conversion module and sensing devices corresponding to the multiple detection components. Each sensing device is electrically connected to the signal conversion module. When the atomizer 100 is connected to the battery assembly 200, if the sensing device is triggered by the detection component, the sensing device will output a first sensing signal to the signal conversion module. If the sensing device is not triggered by the detection component, the sensing device will output a second sensing signal to the signal conversion module. The signal conversion module can generate a detection signal based on the first sensing signals or the second sensing signals output by the multiple sensing devices.

[0044] Further, refer to Figure 2 The atomizer 100 is provided with a protrusion as a first detection part on one end that is pluggable and connected to the battery assembly 200. The protrusion is composed of multiple protrusions 100A, and each protrusion 100 can serve as the above-mentioned detection component. The battery assembly 200 is provided with a recessed part on one end that is pluggable and connected to the atomizer 100. The recessed part is composed of multiple recessed bodies 200A, and the second detection part can be provided in the recessed part. When the atomizer 100 is connected to the battery assembly 200, each protrusion 100A will be accommodated in the corresponding recessed body 200A. The second detection part is configured to detect whether it is triggered by the protrusion and generate a corresponding detection signal.

[0045] The protrusion 100A may correspond to the recess 200A one-to-one. When the atomizer 100 is connected to the battery assembly 200 , the protrusion 100A is accommodated in the recess 200A to prevent the protrusion 100A from interfering with the connection between the atomizer 100 and the battery assembly 200 .

[0046] As an example, the protrusion 100A can be a cylinder, a cuboid, etc., and the recessed body 200A can be a cylindrical hole or a cavity, etc., which is not limited here; different protrusions can be different because the number of protrusions 100A is different, or because the length of the protrusions 100A is different, or because the number and length of the protrusions 100A are different.

[0047] In one embodiment, the second detection unit may be composed of a signal conversion module and at least one sensing device, further referring to Figure 2 Each sensing device can be arranged in the recessed body 200A corresponding to each protruding body 100A, and each sensing device is electrically connected to the signal conversion module.

[0048] As an example, when the atomizer 100 and the battery assembly 200 are connected, if there is a protrusion 100A extending into the corresponding recessed body 200A, the sensing device provided in the recessed body 200A can sense that the protrusion 100A has been accommodated in the recessed body 200A. At this time, the sensing device is triggered and outputs a first sensing signal; if there is no protrusion 100A extending into the corresponding recessed body 200A, the sensing device provided in the recessed body 200A does not sense that the protrusion 100A has been accommodated in the recessed body 200A. At this time, the sensing device is not triggered and outputs a second sensing signal. In this way, according to the number of the first sensing signals and the number of the second sensing signals, the number of protrusions 100A in the protruding part can be known, based on which the type of the atomizer 100 can be identified.

[0049] As an example, when the atomizer 100 and the battery assembly 200 are connected, if there is a protrusion 100A with a length greater than a preset length threshold extending into the corresponding recessed body 200A, the sensing device provided in the recessed body 200A can sense that the protrusion 100A has been accommodated in the recessed body 200A, and the sensing device is triggered to output a first sensing signal; if there is no protrusion 100A with a length less than or equal to the preset length threshold extending into the corresponding recessed body 200A, the sensing device provided in the recessed body 200A does not sense that the protrusion 100A has been accommodated in the recessed body 200A, and the sensing device is not triggered and outputs a second sensing signal. In this way, according to the number of the first sensing signals and the number of the second sensing signals, the number of protrusions of different lengths in the protruding portion can be respectively known, and the type of the atomizer 100 can be identified based on this.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, there is no limitation on the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal, as long as there is a difference between the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal.

[0051] As an example, the first sensing signal is a high-level signal, and the second sensing signal is a low-level signal, so that the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal can be distinguished.

[0052] As an example, the first sensing signal is a low-level signal, and the second sensing signal is a high-level signal, so that the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal can be distinguished.

[0053] Furthermore, the signal conversion module can be connected to each sensing device, and each sensing device will input the first sensing signal or the second sensing signal to the signal conversion module. The signal conversion module can output a detection signal based on the first sensing signal or the second sensing signal input by all sensing devices.

[0054] As an example, the signal conversion module can directly combine the first sensing signals or the second sensing signals input by all sensing devices into a detection signal. For example, there are four sensing devices A, B, C, and D. Sensing devices A, B, and C output high-level signals as first sensing signals, and sensing device D outputs a low-level signal as the second sensing signal. In this way, the signal conversion module can combine the three high-level signals and one low-level signal into three high-level and one low-level signals as the detection signal.

[0055] As an example, the signal conversion module can also generate different detection signals according to the number of first sensing signals or the number of second sensing signals input by all sensing devices, so that the detection signal can represent the number of first sensing signals and the number of second sensing signals received by the signal conversion module.

[0056] Based on this, since the number of all first sensing signals and the number of second sensing signals are determined by at least one of the length information and the quantity information of all protrusions 100A in the protrusion, the detection signal can at least represent one of the quantity information and the length information of all protrusions 100A in the protrusion. Therefore, according to the detection signal, it is possible to identify which type of protrusion is provided on the atomizer 100, thereby realizing the type identification of the atomizer 100.

[0057] In one embodiment, the sensing device may also be a photosensitive device, which includes a photoelectric switch. Each photoelectric switch is arranged in a corresponding recessed body 200A. For example, the photoelectric switch can be arranged on the inner wall of the corresponding recessed body 200A. When the atomizer 100 is connected to the battery assembly 200, if a protrusion 100A with a length greater than a first preset length threshold extends into the corresponding recessed body 200A, the photoelectric switch in the recessed body 200A will be blocked by the protrusion 100A extending into the recessed body 200A. At this time, the photosensitive device will output a first sensing signal to the signal conversion module. If a protrusion 100A with a length less than or equal to the first preset length threshold extends into the corresponding recessed body 200A, or if no protrusion 100A extends into the corresponding recessed body 200A, the photoelectric switch in the recessed body 200A will not be blocked by the protrusion 100A extending into the recessed body 200A. At this time, the photosensitive device will output a second sensing signal to the signal conversion module.

[0058] In the above embodiment, a photosensitive device is used as a sensing device. When the atomizer 100 is connected to the battery assembly 200, if the recessed body 200A accommodates a protrusion 100A having a length greater than a first preset length threshold, the longer protrusion 100A will block the photoelectric switch in the photosensitive device, causing the photosensitive device to output a first sensing signal. If the recessed body 200A does not accommodate a protrusion 100A or accommodates a protrusion 100A having a length less than or equal to the first preset length threshold, there will be no obstruction to block the photoelectric switch in the photosensitive device, causing the photosensitive device to output a second sensing signal. In this way, by setting the photosensitive device as a sensing device, the photosensitive device can be prompted to output the first sensing signal or the second sensing signal to the signal conversion module based on at least one of the number information and length information of the protrusions 100A in the protruding part, laying the foundation for the signal conversion module to generate a detection signal.

[0059] In one embodiment, the sensing device may also be a pressure sensing device, which includes a mechanical contact switch. Each mechanical contact switch may be disposed in a corresponding recessed body 200A, for example, at the bottom of the recessed body 200A. Further, if the atomizer 100 is connected to the battery assembly 200, after the protrusion 100A having a length greater than a second preset length threshold is inserted into the recessed body 200A, the protrusion 100A will contact the mechanical contact switch. The protrusion 100A will apply a corresponding pressure to the mechanical contact switch, causing the mechanical contact switch to close. At this time, the pressure sensing device will output a first sensing signal to the signal conversion module. However, after the protrusion 100A having a length less than or equal to the second preset length threshold is inserted into the recessed body 200A, the protrusion 100A will not contact the mechanical contact switch. The mechanical contact switch will not be subjected to the pressure from the protrusion 100A, and the mechanical contact switch will not be closed. At this time, the pressure sensing device will output a second sensing signal to the signal conversion module.

[0060] In the above embodiment, a pressure sensing device is used as a sensing device. When the atomizer 100 is connected to the battery assembly 200, if the recessed body 200A accommodates a protrusion 100A having a length greater than a second preset length threshold, the protrusion 100A with a longer length will contact the mechanical contact switch, causing the pressure sensing device to output a first sensing signal. If the recessed body 200A accommodates a protrusion 100A having a length less than or equal to the second preset length threshold, the protrusion 100A will not contact the mechanical contact switch, causing the pressure sensing device to output a second sensing signal. In this way, by setting the pressure sensing device as a sensing device, the pressure sensing device can be prompted to output the first sensing signal or the second sensing signal to the signal conversion module based on at least one of the number information and length information of the protrusions 100A in the protruding part, laying the foundation for the signal conversion module to generate a detection signal.

[0061] In one embodiment, the sensing device may be a magnetic sensing device, which includes a Hall switch, each Hall switch being disposed in a corresponding recessed body 200A. If the atomizer 100 is connected to the battery assembly 200, after the protrusion 100A having a length greater than a third preset length threshold is extended into the corresponding recessed body 200A, the Hall switch will be triggered by the magnetic field generated by the protrusion 100A due to the close distance between the Hall switch and the protrusion 100A, and the Hall switch will be closed. At this time, the magnetic sensing device will output a first sensing signal to the signal conversion module. After the protrusion 100A having a length less than or equal to the third preset length threshold is extended into the corresponding recessed body 200A, the Hall switch will not be triggered by the magnetic field generated by the protrusion 100A due to the far distance between the Hall switch and the protrusion 100A, and the Hall switch will not be closed. At this time, the magnetic sensing device will output a second sensing signal to the signal conversion module.

[0062] In the above embodiment, a magnetic induction device is used as the induction device. When the atomizer 100 is connected to the battery assembly 200, if the recessed body 200A accommodates a protrusion 100A whose length is greater than the third preset length threshold, the magnetic field generated by the protrusion 100A with a longer length will trigger the Hall switch, causing the magnetic induction device to output a first induction signal. If the recessed body 200A accommodates a protrusion 100A whose length is less than or equal to the second preset length threshold, the magnetic field generated by the protrusion 100A will not trigger the Hall switch, causing the magnetic induction device to output a second induction signal. In this way, by setting the magnetic induction device as the induction device, the magnetic induction device can be prompted to output the first induction signal or the second induction signal to the signal conversion module according to at least one of the number information and length information of the protrusions 100A in the protruding part, laying the foundation for the signal conversion module to generate a detection signal.

[0063] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, a recessed portion may be provided on the atomizer 100 as the first detection portion and a protruding portion may be provided on the battery assembly 200 to realize the type identification of the atomizer in this embodiment. The specific implementation process is similar to the above-mentioned process of realizing the type identification of the atomizer by providing a protruding portion on the atomizer 100 as the first detection portion and providing a recessed portion on the battery assembly 200, and will not be repeated here.

[0064] In one embodiment, the signal conversion module can arrange and combine the first sensing signals or the second sensing signals output by the plurality of sensing devices into a detection signal, wherein the arrangement and combination order of the first sensing signals or the second sensing signals output by the plurality of sensing devices corresponds to a preset sequence of the plurality of sensing devices.

[0065] As an example, the preset sequence of multiple sensing devices may be set based on the installation positions of the multiple sensing devices, or the preset sequence of multiple sensing devices may be user-defined, which is not limited here.

[0066] As an example, taking the installation positions of multiple sensing devices as a preset sequence as an example, assuming that there are 4 sensing devices, and the installation positions are distributed as upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right, the preset sequence is upper left-upper right-lower left-lower right. The upper left and lower left sensing devices output a high-level signal H as the first sensing signal, and the upper right and lower right sensing devices output a low-level signal L as the second sensing signal. The permutation and combination order is the same as the preset sequence, which is also upper left-lower left-upper right-lower right. Therefore, the detection signal obtained by the final permutation and combination is HHLL.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the first sensing signals and the second sensing signals output by the plurality of sensing devices are arranged and combined according to a preset sequence of the plurality of sensing devices to generate a detection signal. In this way, the detection signal can clearly and unambiguously express the length information and the number information of the protrusions 100A corresponding to the plurality of sensing devices. Thus, by reasonably setting the number and length of the protrusions 100A on the atomizer 100, a detection part code unique to each atomizer 100 can be formed. The detection signal can clearly express this detection part code, providing a reliable basis for subsequent identification of the atomizer type.

[0068] In one embodiment, the battery assembly 200 includes a processor module, which is connected to the signal conversion module and is configured to receive a detection signal input by the signal conversion module, and generate a detection part code corresponding to the first detection part based on the detection signal, and identify the type of the atomizer 100 based on the detection part code, wherein the detection part code is used to characterize at least one of the quantity information and length information of the detection components in the first detection part, for example, the quantity information and length information of the detection components can be the quantity information and length information of the protrusions 100A in the protrusion.

[0069] As an example, if the detection signal is a combination signal of 4 high-level signals, the detection unit code is 1111, which indicates that the number of detection components in the first detection unit is 4 and the atomizer 100 is a first-class atomizer. If the detection signal is a combination signal of 5 high-level signals, the detection unit code is 11111, which indicates that the number of detection components in the first detection unit is 5 and the atomizer 100 is a second-class atomizer.

[0070] As an example, if the detection signal is a combination signal of three high and one low level signals, the detection unit code is 1101, which indicates that there are three longer detection components and one shorter detection component in the first detection unit, and the atomizer 100 is a third type of atomizer. If the detection signal is a combination signal of two high and two low level signals, the detection unit code is 0101, which indicates that there are two longer detection components and two shorter detection components in the first detection unit, and the atomizer 100 is a fourth type of atomizer.

[0071] As an example, if the detection signal is a combination signal of four high and one low level signals, the detection unit code is 11011, which indicates that there are four longer detection components and one shorter detection component in the first detection unit, the number of detection components is 5, and the atomizer 100 is a fifth-category atomizer. If the detection signal is a combination signal of one high and one low level signals, the detection unit code is 01, which indicates that there is one longer detection component and one shorter detection component in the first detection unit, the number of detection components is 2, and the atomizer 100 is a sixth-category atomizer.

[0072] In this embodiment, the processor module is configured to generate a detection part code corresponding to the first detection part based on the detection signal, and accurately identify the type of the atomizer 100 based on the detection part code. Since the protrusion code is used to characterize at least one of the quantity information and length information of the protrusions in the protrusion, it is possible to accurately identify the type of the atomizer 100 based on the number and / or length of the protrusions set on the atomizer 100.

[0073] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 A visual flow chart of heating control by identifying the type of atomizer is shown. First, each sensing device 300 outputs a first sensing signal or a second sensing signal to the signal conversion module 400.
