[0057] 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.

[0058] See Figure 1 One embodiment of the present application provides a method for managing production data of an electronic atomizer. The method comprises the following steps:

[0059] The electronic atomizer is subjected to software upgrade, software calibration and software testing.

[0060] During the software upgrade process, if the upgrade is successful, the number of good products at the upgrade station will be updated and uploaded to the server; if the upgrade is unsuccessful, an alarm prompt message will be output, the number of defective products at the upgrade station will be updated, and the number of defective products will be uploaded to the server.

[0061] During the software calibration process, if the calibration is successful, the number of good products at the calibration station is updated and the number of good products is uploaded to the server; if the calibration is unsuccessful, an alarm prompt message is output, the number of defective products at the calibration station is updated, and the number of defective products is uploaded to the server.

[0062] During the software testing process, if the test is successful, the number of good products at the test station is updated and uploaded to the server; if the test is unsuccessful, an alarm prompt message is output, the number of defective products at the test station is updated, and the number of defective products is uploaded to the server.

[0063] In the above-described electronic vaporizer production data management method, electronic vaporizers undergo software upgrades, software calibration, and software testing. During the software upgrade process, the number of good or defective products at the upgrade station is updated; during the software calibration process, the number of good or defective products at the calibration station is updated; and during the software testing process, the number of good or defective products at the test station is updated, and the defective product counts are simultaneously uploaded to a server. Specifically, the software internally records the time of each electronic vaporizer upgrade, calibration, and test process, with accurate time to the minute and second. Each station, whether upgrade, calibration, or test, records its current status and uploads it to the server in real time. Based on this information, the server clearly understands today's production capacity, the number of good and defective products, and can calculate the current pass rate, production line defect rate, and other indicators. Furthermore, based on the number of electronic vaporizer products processed within a predetermined timeframe, the server can also determine the current station cycle time, the current bottleneck station, and other indicators. The corresponding production data can be displayed to production personnel on a display panel, enabling real-time monitoring of production data.

[0064] It should be noted that an electronic atomizer is an electronic product. One form of an electronic atomizer heats an aerosol-generating substrate to generate aerosols. Another form of an electronic atomizer heats a non-combustible aerosol-generating substrate to release aerosols. This form of electronic atomizer differs from the traditional method of releasing aerosols through combustion.

[0065] It should be noted that the upgrade process is to upgrade the test program inside the electronic atomizer so that the electronic atomizer can be used by users in the subsequent process. In fact, during the production process, the memory inside the electronic atomizer stores the test program. During the assembly process, it is necessary to upgrade the test program inside the electronic atomizer based on the test program. The calibration process refers to the internal parameters of the upgraded electronic atomizer, which need to be calibrated to achieve consistency. The test process is to check the various functional parameters of the electronic atomizer to ensure the consistency of the shipped prototype.

[0066] Please also see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the software upgrade process includes the following steps:

[0067] Obtaining the current software version information and hardware information of the electronic atomizer;

[0068] Compare the current software version information and hardware information with the target software version and target hardware;

[0069] If the comparison is consistent, update the number of good products in the upgrade station and upload the number of good products to the server;

[0070] If the comparison is inconsistent, first check the upgrade operation times of the electronic atomizer:

[0071] If the upgrade operation count of the electronic atomizer is zero, perform an upgrade operation on the current software version information of the electronic atomizer; after the upgrade operation is completed, increment the upgrade operation count of the electronic atomizer by one, and re-execute the step of obtaining the current software version information and hardware information of the electronic atomizer;

[0072] If the upgrade operation times of the electronic atomizer are not zero, an alarm prompt message is output, the number of defective products of the upgrade station is updated, and the number of defective products is uploaded to the server.

[0073] During the above software upgrade process, by obtaining the current software version information and hardware information of the electronic atomizer, it can be determined whether the current software version information of the electronic atomizer is the target software version. If so, the number of good products of the upgrade station is updated, and the number of good products is uploaded to the server. If not, first check whether the electronic atomizer has been upgraded. If the number of upgrade operations of the electronic atomizer is not zero, it means that the electronic atomizer has been upgraded. After the upgrade operation, the current software version information and hardware information of the electronic atomizer are still inconsistent with the target software version and target hardware, indicating that the upgrade process of the electronic atomizer has failed. At this time, an alarm prompt message is output, such as: incorrect version or incorrect hardware, etc., and the number of defective products of the upgrade station is updated, and the number of defective products is uploaded to the server. If the number of upgrade operations of the electronic atomizer is zero, it means that the electronic atomizer has not been upgraded. At this time, the current software version information of the electronic atomizer is upgraded. After the upgrade operation is completed, the number of upgrade operations of the electronic atomizer is increased by one. Re-execute the step of obtaining the current software version information and hardware information of the electronic atomizer. It should be noted that the initial value of the number of good products at the upgrade station is 0. When the electronic atomizer is successfully upgraded and the current software version information of the electronic atomizer is the target software version, the number of good products at the upgrade station increases by one. Similarly, the initial value of the number of defective products at the upgrade station is 0. If the upgrade of the electronic atomizer is unsuccessful, for example, when the version is incorrect or the hardware is incorrect, the number of defective products at the upgrade station increases by one.

[0074] In some embodiments, the above software upgrade process is completed in an upgrade station. The upgrade station reads the current software version information and hardware information of the electronic atomizer through a serial port device. As needed, the current software version information and hardware information of the electronic atomizer are stored in a memory inside the electronic atomizer. For example, the memory inside the electronic atomizer is a flash memory flash, and the current software version information and hardware information of the electronic atomizer are stored in the flash memory flash. In the process of obtaining the current software version information and hardware information of the electronic atomizer, the control unit (MCU) inside the electronic atomizer reads the current software version information and hardware information from the flash memory flash, and then sends it to the upgrade station.

[0075] In fact, the software upgrade process is not limited to the above implementation. Figure 3 In some embodiments, the software upgrade process includes the following steps:

[0076] Obtaining current hardware information of the electronic atomizer;

[0077] Compare the current hardware information with the target hardware;

[0078] If the comparison is inconsistent, an alarm prompt message is output, and the number of defective products at the upgrade station is updated and uploaded to the server at the same time; if the comparison is consistent, the current software version information of the electronic atomizer is upgraded;

[0079] After the upgrade operation is completed, obtaining the current software version information of the electronic atomizer;

[0080] Compare the current software version information with the target software;

[0081] If the comparison is inconsistent, an alarm prompt message will be output, the number of defective products at the upgraded workstation will be updated, and the number of defective products will be uploaded to the server; if the comparison is consistent, the number of good products at the upgraded workstation will be updated, and the number of good products will be uploaded to the server.

[0082] In the above software upgrade process, the current hardware information of the electronic atomizer is first obtained, and the current hardware information is compared with the target hardware. If the comparison is inconsistent, it means that the hardware is incorrect. At this time, because the hardware information does not correspond, there is no need to perform the upgrade process, and an alarm prompt message (incorrect hardware) is output, and the number of defective products of the upgrade station is updated, and the number of defective products is uploaded to the server. If the comparison is consistent, it means that the hardware information corresponds. At this time, the current software version information of the electronic atomizer can be upgraded. After the upgrade operation is completed, the current software version information of the electronic atomizer is obtained again, and the current software version information is compared with the target software. If the comparison is inconsistent, it means that the software version upgrade is unsuccessful. At this time, an alarm prompt message (incorrect software) is output, and the number of defective products of the upgrade station is updated, and the number of defective products is uploaded to the server. If the comparison is consistent, it means that the software version upgrade is successful. At this time, the number of good products of the upgrade station is updated, and the number of good products is uploaded to the server. Similarly, in this embodiment, the initial value of the number of good products of the upgrade station is 0. If the electronic atomizer upgrade is successful and the current software version information of the electronic atomizer is the target software version, the number of good products at the upgrade station increases by one. Similarly, the initial value of the number of defective products at the upgrade station is 0. If the electronic atomizer hardware is incorrect or the software upgrade is unsuccessful, the number of defective products at the upgrade station increases by one. In this embodiment, the hardware information judgment process and the software information judgment process are separated to better implement the electronic atomizer software upgrade process.

[0083] Please also see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the software calibration process includes the following steps:

[0084] Reading device parameter values ​​of the electronic atomizer, wherein the device parameter values ​​include: one or more of battery voltage, NTC temperature, and heating element resistance;

[0085] Compare the read device parameter value with the preset device parameter range;

[0086] If the read device parameter value is within the preset device parameter range, a calibration operation is performed on the electronic atomizer. After the calibration operation is completed, the number of good products at the calibration station is updated and the number of good products is uploaded to the server;

[0087] If the read device parameter value is not within the preset device parameter range, an alarm prompt message is output, the number of defective products at the calibration station is updated, and the number of defective products is uploaded to the server.

[0088] Generally, during the calibration process of the electronic atomizer, the parameter values ​​and other information of the heating element of the electronic atomizer can be read through the serial port device. The parameter values ​​of the heating element include the resistance value of the heating element, the resistance temperature coefficient of the heating element, and the temperature value of the heating element. In the process of heating the heating element of the electronic atomizer, the parameter values ​​of the heating element of the electronic atomizer are calibrated to obtain the calibrated results. Only after the internal parameters are calibrated can the electronic atomizer have better consistency. Generally speaking, the calibration process can be carried out by the following formula:

[0089] R1=R*(1+TCR*(T1-T0));

[0090] Among them, R1 represents the calibrated resistance value of the heating element; R represents the initial resistance value of the heating element; TCR represents the temperature coefficient of resistance of the heating element, which indicates the relative change in resistance when the temperature changes by 1 degree Celsius, and the unit is ppm / °C; T1 represents the current temperature value of the heating element; and T0 represents the standard temperature value of the heating element. Calibrating the parameter values ​​of the heating element of the electronic atomizer is to ensure that the heating element can reach the preset temperature value during subsequent use, thereby ensuring better consistency of the electronic atomizer.

[0091] In the above steps, before calibrating the heating element of the electronic atomizer, the battery voltage, NTC temperature and heating element resistance of the electronic atomizer are read. Then, based on the battery voltage, NTC temperature and heating element resistance of the electronic atomizer, it is determined whether the electronic atomizer is suitable for the calibration process. If it is suitable for the subsequent calibration process, the calibration process is started. If it is not suitable for the subsequent calibration process, the calibration process is ended and the number of defective products is increased by one. Specifically, the battery voltage, NTC temperature and heating element resistance of the electronic atomizer are compared with the pre-set device parameter range values ​​to determine whether the electronic atomizer is in a suitable working state to perform the subsequent calibration process. It should be noted that NTC refers to a temperature sensor with a negative temperature coefficient, which is composed of an NTC thermistor, a probe, a wire, etc. NTC is generally set on a circuit board. It mainly uses the thermal effect of the NTC thermistor, that is, the resistance value drops rapidly as the temperature rises and rises as the temperature drops, to detect the temperature value inside the electronic atomizer.

[0092] For example, only when the battery voltage is greater than or equal to a preset voltage value does the electronic atomizer have sufficient power to initiate the automatic calibration process. If the battery voltage is less than the preset voltage value, it indicates that the electronic atomizer may not have enough power to initiate the automatic calibration process. In this case, an alarm will be triggered to alert the user, outputting an abnormality message to remind the staff that the battery voltage is low and there may be insufficient power. At the same time, the number of defective products at the calibration station is updated and uploaded to the server. For example, assuming that the optimal operating voltage of the electronic atomizer is 3.6V, the preset voltage value can be set to 3.8V. In this case, when the battery voltage is greater than or equal to 3.8V, the electronic atomizer has sufficient power to initiate the automatic calibration process. Moreover, after the automatic calibration is completed, the electronic atomizer still has a suitable power level for user use. However, when the battery voltage is less than 3.8V, the electronic atomizer may not have enough power to initiate the automatic calibration process.

[0093] For another example, only when the temperature of the NTC is less than or equal to the preset temperature value can it be determined whether the NTC and the heating element are in the same environment. If the temperature of the NTC is greater than the preset temperature value, it means that the NTC and the heating element may not be in the same environment. At this time, an alarm will be issued to the user, and an abnormal prompt message will be output to remind the staff that the temperature of the NTC is high and that they may not be in the same environment. At the same time, the number of defective products at the calibration station will be updated and uploaded to the server. For example, the preset temperature value can be set to 26°C. At this time, when the temperature of the NTC is less than or equal to 26°C, it means that the NTC and the heating element are in the same environment, and subsequent automatic calibration operations can be performed. When the temperature of the NTC is greater than 26°C, it means that the NTC and the heating element may not be in the same environment, and subsequent automatic calibration operations cannot be performed.

[0094] For another example, only when the resistance value of the heating element is less than or equal to the preset resistance value can it be said that the heating element is normal or intact. If the resistance value of the heating element is greater than the preset resistance value, it means that the heating element may not be able to work normally. At this time, an alarm prompts the user and outputs an abnormal prompt message to remind the staff that the resistance value of the heating element is high and may not be able to work normally. At the same time, the number of defective products at the calibration station is updated and the number of defective products is uploaded to the server. For example, the preset resistance value can be set to 0.6 ohms. At this time, when the resistance value of the heating element is less than or equal to 0.6 ohms, it means that the heating element can work normally and the subsequent automatic calibration operation can be performed. When the resistance value of the heating element is greater than 0.6 ohms, it means that the heating element may not be able to work normally and the subsequent automatic calibration operation cannot be performed.

[0095] Only when the battery voltage is greater than or equal to the preset voltage value, and the temperature of the NTC is less than or equal to the preset temperature value, and the resistance of the heating element is less than or equal to the preset resistance value, will the subsequent automatic calibration operation be triggered, so that the accuracy of the calibration result of the electronic atomizer will not be affected by abnormalities in voltage, temperature or resistance of the heating element during the calibration process. After the calibration operation is completed, the number of good products of the calibration station is updated, and the number of good products is uploaded to the server. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the initial value of the number of good products of the calibration station is 0. When the calibration of the electronic atomizer is successful, the number of good products of the calibration station is increased by one. Similarly, the initial value of the number of defective products of the calibration station is 0. When the battery voltage of the electronic atomizer is not suitable, the temperature of the NTC is not suitable, or the resistance of the heating element is not suitable, the number of defective products of the calibration station is increased by one.

[0096] In this embodiment, the calibration operation of the electronic atomizer is generally performed as follows:

[0097] The calibration station first sends a heating temperature curve to the electronic atomizer. The heating temperature curve typically includes a target temperature value. The target temperature value is the temperature that the electronic atomizer's heating element can reach under normal operating conditions. Based on the heating temperature curve, the electronic atomizer's control unit (MCU) controls the heating element to ensure that the heating element reaches the target temperature value. Generally speaking, during the specific heating control process, the current or voltage of the heating element is automatically adjusted according to actual conditions to achieve the purpose of precise temperature control. In this embodiment, the electronic atomizer also includes an NTC temperature sensor. The NTC temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature value of the electronic atomizer's heating element. Specifically, because the resistance of the NTC thermistor in the NTC temperature sensor decreases with increasing temperature, the current temperature value of the heating element can be determined by detecting the resistance value of the NTC thermistor, thereby achieving the purpose of detecting and controlling the temperature value of the heating element. During the heating process of the electronic atomizer's heating element, the operating parameters of the electronic atomizer are tested and calibrated. For example, the resistance value, resistance temperature coefficient, and temperature value of the heating element are tested to see if they meet preset standards. For example, whether the time taken for the heating element to heat to the target temperature meets the preset standard, etc. Through the calibration process, the consistency of the electronic atomizer can be effectively guaranteed, so that the quality of the shipped electronic atomizer products meets the standards.

[0098] In fact, there may be some differences between the resistance value, resistance temperature coefficient, etc. of the heating element and the standard resistance value, standard resistance temperature coefficient, etc. The calibration process is to detect these differences and fine-tune the current, voltage or power during the heating process of the heating element based on these differences, so that each electronic vaporizer produced has a consistent experience, thereby ensuring consistency in taste.

[0099] Please also see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the software testing process includes the following steps:

[0100] Reading device parameter values ​​of the electronic atomizer, wherein the device parameter values ​​include: one or more of heating element resistance, TCR value, infrared intensity value, temperature value, version information, current stage status information, and aging times;

[0101] Compare the read device parameter value with the preset device parameter range;

[0102] If the read device parameter value is within the preset device parameter range, the number of good products at the test station is updated and uploaded to the server;

[0103] If the read device parameter value is not within the preset device parameter range, an alarm prompt message is output, the number of defective products at the test station is updated, and the number of defective products is uploaded to the server.

[0104] In the above steps, by checking the various functional parameters of the electronic atomizer, it is possible to ensure that the shipped electronic atomizers have a high consistency. Specifically, read one or more of the heating element resistance, TCR value, infrared intensity value, temperature value, version information, current stage status information, and aging times of the electronic atomizer. Then, determine whether the electronic atomizer meets the shipping standards based on one or more of the heating element resistance, TCR value, infrared intensity value, temperature value, version information, current stage status information, and aging times of the electronic atomizer. If the read device parameter value is within the preset device parameter range, it means that the electronic atomizer is suitable for shipment. At this time, the number of good products at the test station is updated and the number of good products is uploaded to the server. If the read device parameter value is not within the preset device parameter range, it is not suitable for shipment. At this time, an alarm prompt message is output. Explain the reasons for being unsuitable for shipment (inappropriate heating element resistance, incorrect TCR value, incorrect infrared intensity value, incorrect temperature value, incorrect version information, incorrect current stage status information, incorrect aging times, etc.). In addition, the number of defective products at the test station is updated and uploaded to the server.

[0105] It should be noted that the current phase status information includes EVT, DVT, PVT, and MP. EVT (Engineering Verification Test Phase) stands for the Engineering Verification Test Phase and is the design verification phase in the early stages of product development. During the EVT phase, the product is just an engineering prototype and may have many issues. This phase focuses on verifying the product's key functions, allowing R&D personnel to modify and debug the design. DVT (Design Verification Test Phase) stands for the Design Verification Test Phase. During the DVT phase, all product designs are complete. The focus is on testing all product performance to ensure that all designs meet specifications. Generally, the product structure is not finalized during the EVT phase, making reliability testing impossible. Therefore, in addition to software and hardware testing, reliability testing is also required during the DVT phase. PVT (Production Verification Test Phase) stands for the Production Verification Test Phase. During the PVT phase, a small trial batch of products is produced to ensure that all key product design functions are fully implemented and meet standard requirements, ensuring that the factory can produce products that fully meet design requirements in accordance with the SOP (Standard Operating Instructions). MP (Mass Production Phase) stands for the Mass Production Phase. After the EVT, DVT, and PVT stages of design, testing, review, and debugging / modification, the product design fully meets the design and customer requirements. At this point, the product enters the MP stage, and the factory can mass-produce the product for market. Generally speaking, only when the current stage status reaches MP does it meet the shipping standards.

In this embodiment, the preset time range can be 1 day. For example, by displaying information such as the production line's production capacity, the product's pass rate, and the production line's defective rate within 1 day to production management personnel, production management personnel can easily understand today's production capacity, the number of good products, the number of defective products, the completion status of work orders, and how many are still unfinished.
