Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aerosol supply technology, and in particular to a control method for an aerosol supply system and an aerosol supply system. Background Technology

[0002] An aerosol supply system refers to a system that contains aerosol-generating materials and produces aerosols for users to inhale by heating, rather than burning, these materials. Electronic cigarettes are a typical application of aerosol supply systems.

[0003] The core of an aerosol supply system lies in the heating element technology and power control method. Different heating elements have different characteristics, and therefore require different power control methods. Consequently, the control methods used for different heating elements, and the power output under those methods, are typically fixed in the controller of the aerosol supply system containing the heating element.

[0004] However, different users have different requirements for the inhalation experience. In order to meet the needs of more users, the aerosol supply system provides multiple power adjustment levels to allow users to make personalized adjustments.

[0005] Typically, only three power adjustment levels are provided, limiting the adjustment operations that users can perform. They can only select one level that best meets their needs. In other words, the control schemes offered by existing aerosol supply systems cannot adequately meet user requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0126] Aerosol modifiers are substances typically located downstream of the aerosol generation region, configured to modify the generated aerosols, for example, by altering their taste, flavor, acidity, or other properties. Aerosol modifiers can be disposed in aerosol modifier release components operable to selectively release the aerosol modifier. For example, aerosol modifiers can be additives or adsorbents. For example, aerosol modifiers may include one or more of fragrances, colorants, water, and carbon adsorbents. For example, aerosol modifiers can be solid, liquid, or gel. Aerosol modifiers can be in powder, filament, or granular form. Aerosol modifiers may not contain filter material.

In some embodiments, an aerosol generator is configured to cause the generation of aerosols from an aerosol-generating material without heating. For example, an aerosol generator may be configured to subject the aerosol-generating material to one or more of vibration, increased pressure, or electrostatic energy.

[0129] This disclosure relates to aerosol delivery systems (which may also be referred to as vapor delivery systems), such as aerosol sprayers or electronic cigarettes. In the following description, the terms "electronic cigarette" or "electronic cigarette" may sometimes be used, but it will be understood that this term is used interchangeably with aerosol delivery systems / devices and electronic aerosol delivery systems / devices. Furthermore, as is common in the art, the terms "aerosol" and "vapor," as well as related terms such as "evaporation," "atomization," and "aerosolization," are generally used interchangeably.

[0130] Aerosol delivery systems (electronic cigarettes) typically (though not always) comprise modular components, including reusable device parts and replaceable (disposable / consumable) cartridge components. Typically, the replaceable cartridge component will include aerosol generating material and an vaporizer (which may be collectively referred to as an "atomizer"), and the reusable device part will include a power source (e.g., a rechargeable power source) and control circuitry. It will be understood that these different parts may include additional components depending on their function. For example, the reusable device part will typically include a user interface for receiving user input and displaying operational status characteristics, and the replaceable cartridge device part may include, in some cases, a temperature sensor to aid in temperature control. The cartridge is electrically and mechanically connected to the control unit for use, for example, using threads, bayonet connections, or magnetic connections with suitably arranged electrical contacts. When the aerosol generating material in the cartridge is depleted, 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 part, and a replacement cartridge can be attached to its appropriate position. Systems and devices that conform to this type of two-piece modular configuration can generally be referred to as two-piece systems / devices.

[0131] Electronic cigarettes typically have a generally elongated shape. For the sake of specific examples, some embodiments of this 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 applied to different constructions, such as single-piece systems or modular systems comprising more than two components, refillable devices and single-use disposable items, as well as other overall shapes, such as high-performance devices based on a so-called box-shaped pattern that typically has a box-like shape. More generally, it will be understood that some embodiments of this disclosure are based on aerosol delivery systems that are operatively configured to provide the functionality according to the principles described herein, and the construction aspects of the system configured to provide the functionality according to some embodiments of this disclosure are not of primary importance.

It is understood that the controller 110 and the power supply 120 can have various possible settings. The controller 110 can be programmable. The power supply 120 can be any suitable power source, such as a DC voltage source. In one embodiment, the power supply is a lithium-ion battery. Alternatively, the power supply can be a nickel-metal hydride battery, a nickel-cadmium battery, or a lithium-based battery, such as a lithium cobalt, lithium iron phosphate, or lithium polymer battery.

[0135] The aerosol supply system 100 also includes a heating element 130. The heating element may be integrated into the cartridge in the form of a heating needle, a heating coil, or other modified form.

[0136] Generally, the controller 110 and power supply 120 can be reused multiple times, while the heating element 130 can be replaced, such as by replacing it with a new cartridge. Of course, in replaceable embodiments, the heating element 130 cannot be replaced.

[0137] Aerosol supply systems have a variety of possible structural variations. Figure 1The diagram illustrates a specific structure under one embodiment. In this structure, the controller 110 and the power supply 120 are assembled in the aerosol supply device 102, and the heating element 130 is assembled in a detachable cartridge 101 installed in the aerosol supply device 102.

[0138] Example 2

[0139] Embodiment 2 of this application provides a control method for an aerosol supply system. This aerosol supply system may specifically be the aerosol supply system described in Embodiment 1. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the control method for the aerosol supply system in this application. The method is applied in the system's controller and includes:

[0140] S21. Provides editable parameters related to heating properties.

[0141] In this embodiment of the invention, more parameters related to heating properties can be provided as editable parameters, which can be flexibly set by the user according to their needs.

[0142] In terms of parameter type, parameters related to heat generation properties can include at least one of the following:

[0143] 1. Parameters related to the heating element

[0144] For example, the resistance parameter of the heating element and the temperature parameter of the heating element. The resistance parameter can be at least one of the following: the maximum resistance of the heating element, the minimum resistance of the heating element, or the center resistance of the heating element. The temperature parameter can be at least one of the following: the dry-burn test temperature of the heating element, the burn-out test temperature of the heating element, or the temperature coefficient of resistance curve of the heating element.

[0145] 2. Heating control parameters

[0146] For example, heating power parameters, heating mode options, heating frequency parameters, power compensation parameters, and sampling period.

[0147] 3. Safety protection parameters

[0148] For example, circuit status detection function parameters and dry burning status detection function parameters.

[0149] S22. Obtain the parameter value corresponding to at least one target parameter item submitted by the user for the aerosol supply system, wherein the target parameter item is determined by the user from the parameter items related to the heating properties.

[0150] Correspondingly, the present invention can provide an application (APP) for users to edit parameters. On the one hand, it can display editable parameter items to the user for viewing; on the other hand, it can obtain the parameter values ​​submitted by the user for the selected target parameter item.

[0151] As an example, the application of this invention can be applied to external devices that can communicate with the aerosol supply system, such as smartphones, computers, and other smart terminals, or standalone devices dedicated to parameter editing. By utilizing the capabilities of external devices with greater operational space, more parameter items can be displayed intuitively to the user simultaneously, improving ease of use.

[0152] As another example, for aerosol supply systems equipped with a display screen, the application can also be applied to the aerosol supply system. Correspondingly, users can edit parameters through the display screen. No external devices are required during the editing process, which helps improve operational convenience.

[0153] Specifically, when a user launches the application to edit parameters, the application can provide a target interface, which may include editable parameter items related to heating properties. Users can view the editable parameter items through the target interface, select the target parameter item to be edited based on their usage needs, and submit the corresponding parameter value via text input or voice input.

[0154] Thus, after obtaining the parameter values ​​corresponding to at least one target parameter item submitted by the user for the aerosol supply system, the application can send the parameter values ​​corresponding to at least one target parameter item to the controller of the aerosol supply system, so that the controller can perform corresponding control based on the parameter values ​​input by the user.

[0155] S23. Control is performed based on the parameter values ​​corresponding to the at least one target parameter item.

[0156] This invention can parameterize the heating performance of an aerosol supply system, providing users with editable parameters related to user experience and heating properties—specifically, the heating-related parameters in this invention. Users can finely adjust different parameters according to their needs, achieving precise control over the heating performance of the aerosol supply system.

[0157] Understandably, different usage needs may correspond to different editable parameters, which can be finely controlled by different types of users according to their needs. Among them, user type can be reflected as user user or developer user.

[0158] The following examples illustrate the parameter editing process and the corresponding control process in specific usage scenarios.

[0159] Use case 1: Heating power control

[0160] The target parameters involved in this use case may include: heating power parameters, and the parameter value corresponding to the heating power parameters is used to represent the heating power value within the preset suction time.

[0161] In one example, the preset suction time can be expressed as the suction time per breath, such as 5 seconds, so that when the user uses the aerosol supply system to suction, each breath will provide the same suction experience.

[0162] Users can submit parameter values ​​for the heating power item according to their needs. For example, a high power value can be entered for better flavor and greater vapor production, while a low power value can be entered for lower battery consumption and lower e-liquid consumption.

[0163] As an example, the parameter value submitted by the user for the heating power parameter can include a heating power value, that is, the controller maintains a constant power for heating within a preset suction time. Compared to the solution of adjusting power through preset power adjustment levels, this invention can achieve more refined and diversified power value control, which helps to adjust and adapt to a power value that suits the heating element and better meets user needs.

[0164] As another example, the parameter values ​​submitted by the user for the heating power parameter item can include multiple heating power values, that is, the controller performs heating control according to variable power within a preset suction time.

[0165] In this example, the preset suction time can be divided into multiple heating time windows, establishing a correspondence between the heating time windows and the heating power values, ensuring that each heating power value corresponds to at least one heating time window. In this way, the controller can heat according to the heating power value corresponding to each heating time window within different heating time windows, achieving variable power heating and providing users with a more diverse heating control experience, offering a richer and more multi-layered suction experience.

[0166] When controlling heating based on the power value input by the user, the controller can use software to control the switching of MOSFETs to generate PWM signals (Pulse Width Modulation) and achieve heating power control.

[0167] Furthermore, to improve the accuracy of power control, the controller can also utilize hardware-generated PWM signals for heating control. In other words, the hardware circuitry itself can be adapted to high frequencies to generate more stable, reliable, and accurate PWM signals.

[0168] Therefore, the target parameters involved in this use case may also include: heating mode options. Heating mode options may include high-frequency heating mode and low-frequency heating mode.

[0169] Users can submit parameter values ​​for the heating mode option based on their usage needs. If the parameter value indicates a high-frequency heating mode, the controller can generate a PWM signal through a pulse width modulation (PWM) module. In one example, the PWM module can be a circuit unit within the MCU. If the parameter value indicates a low-frequency heating mode, the controller can generate a PWM signal through software control.

[0170] It should be noted that in high-frequency heating mode, the controller can use a preset frequency to drive the circuit and generate a corresponding PWM signal. In an optional implementation, the high-frequency frequency can also be defined as an editable parameter, allowing users to edit it.

[0171] In other words, the target parameters involved in this application scenario may also include: heating frequency parameter, which can be used to obtain the frequency in high-frequency heating mode.

[0172] Users can submit parameter values ​​for the heating frequency according to their needs, for example, a parameter value of 30KHz. The controller can drive the circuit according to the high frequency input by the user, adjust the duty cycle of the PWM module output signal, so that when the generated PWM signal is applied to the heating element, the heating element can perform well.

[0173] In addition, considering that there will be some line loss during the transmission of battery output energy in actual application, in order to ensure that the power value applied to the heating element is the parameter value input by the user, power compensation can also be performed, adding the compensation value to the power value as the actual output energy value of the battery.

[0174] Correspondingly, the target parameter items involved in this use case may also include: power compensation parameter items, which can be used to compensate the parameter values ​​corresponding to the heating power parameter items.

[0175] In other words, this invention provides power compensation as an editable parameter to developers, who can then submit parameter values ​​for the power compensation parameter based on potential power losses in the aerosol supply system circuit. For example, the power compensation parameter value could be 0.1W.

[0176] Use case 2: Detecting circuit anomalies

[0177] The target parameters involved in this use case may include: the resistance parameter of the heating element. Specifically, this may include at least one of the maximum resistance and minimum resistance of the heating element.

[0178] Users can submit parameter values ​​for the maximum and / or minimum resistance according to their needs. For example, the maximum resistance could be set to 2Ω and the minimum resistance to 0.5Ω. Understandably, the set parameter values ​​can be for the same model of heating element or for the same batch of heating elements, depending on the specific circumstances.

[0179] Typically, with the use of electronic cigarettes, the resistance of the heating element gradually increases, and may even show signs of disconnection. Therefore, this invention can detect abnormal circuit conditions based on the resistance of the heating element to determine whether the heating element is damaged.

[0180] Specifically, the controller can obtain the current resistance value of the heating element in the aerosol supply system and compare it with the parameter value submitted by the user through the resistance parameter field:

[0181] If the current resistance value of the heating element is greater than the parameter value corresponding to the maximum resistance, it can be determined that the circuit state of the heating element is abnormal and is in an open circuit state.

[0182] If the current resistance value of the heating element is less than the parameter value corresponding to the minimum resistance, it can be determined that the circuit state of the heating element is abnormal and is in a short-circuit state.

[0183] Optionally, from a user control perspective, to improve control flexibility, the target parameters involved in this use case may also include: circuit status detection function parameters. That is, users can flexibly choose whether to enable circuit status anomaly detection according to their usage needs.

[0184] Specifically, the circuit status detection function parameter can be represented as an enable switch. Only when the user enables the anomaly detection by turning on the enable switch, that is, when the controller determines that the parameter value corresponding to the circuit status detection function parameter indicates that the circuit status detection function is enabled, will the current resistance value of the heating element and the corresponding parameter value of the resistance parameter be compared as described above to realize the circuit status anomaly detection.

[0185] Understandably, if the user disables anomaly detection via an enable switch, the controller will not perform the corresponding anomaly detection processing.

[0186] In one example, if the circuit state of the heating element is determined to be abnormal, the controller can stop the heating.

[0187] In another example, when an abnormality is detected in the circuit state of the heating element, the controller can provide short-circuit warnings and / or open-circuit warnings to the user, informing the user of the current operating status of the aerosol supply system.

[0188] Use case 3: Performing anti-dry-burning testing

[0189] The target parameters involved in this application scenario may include the temperature parameter of the heating element. Specifically, this may include at least one of the dry-burn detection temperature and the burn-out detection temperature of the heating element. Preferably, the burn-out detection temperature is not less than the dry-burn detection temperature.

[0190] Developers can submit parameter values ​​for the dry-burn detection temperature and / or burn-out detection temperature based on the actual situation of the heating element. For example, the parameter value for the dry-burn detection temperature is 300℃, and the parameter value for the burn-out detection temperature is 350℃.

[0191] Correspondingly, the controller can obtain the current temperature value of the heating element of the aerosol supply system and compare it with the parameter value submitted by the developer user through the temperature parameter field:

[0192] If the current temperature of the heating element reaches the parameter value corresponding to the dry-burn detection temperature, it can be determined that the heating element is in a dry-burn state; and / or,

[0193] If the current temperature of the heating element reaches the parameter value corresponding to the burnout detection temperature, it can be determined that the heating element is in a dry-burning state and has burned out.

[0194] In one example, when the current temperature of the heating element reaches the parameter value corresponding to the dry-burn detection temperature, such as 300°C, the controller can issue a dry-burn warning to the user to prevent the device from being damaged by reaching the parameter value corresponding to the burn-out detection temperature.

[0195] The current temperature of the heating element can be obtained from the temperature sensor installed in the aerosol supply system. Alternatively, the controller can obtain the current resistance value of the heating element and calculate the current temperature value based on the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) curve, thus ensuring the accuracy of the current temperature value acquisition.

[0196] In one implementation, the TCR curve can be defined as an editable parameter, allowing the user to flexibly configure the TCR curve for the heating element based on its actual condition. In other words, the temperature parameter of this invention can also be represented as the TCR curve of the heating element.

[0197] Optionally, from a user control perspective, to improve control flexibility, the target parameters involved in this use case may also include: a dry-burning state detection function parameter. That is, users can flexibly choose whether to enable the anti-dry-burning detection according to their usage needs.

[0198] Specifically, the dry-burning state detection function parameter can be represented as an enable switch. Only when the user turns on the dry-burning detection by enabling the switch, that is, when the controller determines that the parameter value corresponding to the dry-burning state detection function parameter indicates that the dry-burning state detection function is enabled, will the current temperature value of the heating element and the parameter value corresponding to the temperature parameter be compared as described above to realize the dry-burning state detection.

[0199] Use case 4: Monitoring the performance of the heating element

[0200] The target parameter items involved in this use case may include: sampling period.

[0201] Developers can submit parameter values ​​for the sampling period based on their usage needs; for example, the parameter value for the sampling period is 10ms.

[0202] Correspondingly, the controller can perform sampling control based on the parameter values ​​corresponding to the sampling period to collect data on the heating element of the aerosol supply system during the heating process and generate a curve to represent the working performance of the heating element.

[0203] Among them, the data during the heating process can be reflected in various readings of the heating element during the heating process, such as voltage value, current value, resistance value, etc.

[0204] Preferably, the parameter value corresponding to the sampling period can be configured as the period of the PWM signal generated by software control in low-frequency heating mode.

[0205] In other words, the sampling period can be kept consistent with the period of the PWM signal square wave. In this way, the controller can change the output waveform of the PWM signal at each sampling point without having to maintain separate logic for generating the PWM signal and periodic sampling, which helps to reduce the load on the controller.

[0206] For the high-frequency heating mode, the PWM signal is generated by the hardware circuit, and the controller can focus on periodic sampling; therefore, the sampling period is not specifically limited. As an example, the same sampling period as the low-frequency heating mode can be used, or developers can set different sampling periods for the two heating modes according to their needs. This invention does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0207] Use Case 5: Monitoring the Aging Process of Heating Element

[0208] The target parameters involved in this use case may include: the center resistance of the heating element.

[0209] The center resistance can be used to represent the reasonable resistance of the heating element, and is usually located between the maximum and minimum resistance. Developers can submit parameter values ​​for the center resistance according to their usage requirements, for example, a center resistance value of 1Ω. Similarly, this configuration parameter value can be for the same model of heating element or for the same batch of heating elements; this invention does not specifically limit this.

[0210] Correspondingly, the controller can control the resistance value based on the parameter value corresponding to the center resistance. During the use of the aerosol supply system, after collecting at least one resistance value of the heating element, a curve representing the aging process of the heating element can be generated based on at least one resistance value and the parameter value corresponding to the center resistance.

[0211] By monitoring the changing trend of the center resistance during the use of the aerosol supply system, resistance deviation can be determined. Specifically, this can be manifested as: the center resistance gradually increasing, tending towards an open circuit; or, the center resistance gradually decreasing, tending towards a short circuit.

[0212] Developers can obtain the change curve of the center resistance to characterize the aging process of the heating element and conduct targeted research.
