However, those skilled in the art will understand that this application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details.

[0029] As used in this application specification and the appended claims, the term "if" may be interpreted, depending on the context, as "when," "once," "in response to determination," or "in response to detection." Similarly, the phrases "if determined" or "if detected [the described condition or event]" may be interpreted, depending on the context, as meaning "once determined," "in response to determination," "once detected [the described condition or event]," or "in response to detection [the described condition or event]."

[0030] Furthermore, in the description of this application and the appended claims, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] In related technologies, users can connect aerosol generating devices to a power bank or power adapter to power them. However, since power banks or power adapters can only output their rated maximum supply current, and aerosol generating devices vary in product variety and their corresponding charging requirements differ, using a single current to power different aerosol generating devices can lead to a mismatch between the power supply requirements of some aerosol generating devices and the power supply capabilities of the power bank or power adapter. This can cause malfunctions during charging and reduce the efficiency of the aerosol generating devices.

[0033] In addition, existing charging devices (such as power banks) still output voltage even when no device is connected to them, so they are in a powered state even when no device is being charged, which poses certain safety risks.

[0034] Based on this, this application provides a device charging method. When the communication pin (second pin) of the charging device is connected to the aerosol generating device, the first battery parameters of the aerosol generating device are obtained. If the first battery parameters meet the first charging conditions, the power supply pin (first pin) of the charging device is activated. Then, the first device parameters corresponding to the aerosol generating device are obtained. Based on the first device parameters, the first charging current corresponding to the aerosol generating device is determined. Power is then supplied to the aerosol generating device through the power supply pin and the first charging current. In other words, by designing a charging device that provides charging current to the aerosol generating device, and determining whether the charging device needs to supply power and the required charging current based on the relevant parameters of the aerosol generating device connected to the charging device, the charging safety of the aerosol generating device is improved, the service life of the aerosol generating device is extended, and the device utilization efficiency of the aerosol generating device is improved.

[0035] This is illustrative; please refer to it. Figure 1 It illustrates a schematic diagram of a device charging method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device currently includes an aerosol generating device 110 and a charging device 120. The aerosol generating device 110 is currently charged at 30%. The charging device 120 has a first pin 121 and a second pin 122. The first pin 121 is used for communication between the aerosol generating device 110 and the charging device 120. The second pin 122 is used to determine whether power needs to be supplied to the aerosol generating device 110.

[0036] Indicatively, when the aerosol generating device 110 is connected to the charging device 120 (at this time, the first pin 121 and the second pin 122 are represented by dashed lines), if the first pin 121 detects that the aerosol generating device 110 and the charging device 120 have established a communication connection, it obtains the first charging parameters corresponding to the aerosol generating device 110. If the first charging parameters meet the first charging conditions, the second pin 122 is activated, and the first device parameters corresponding to the aerosol generating device 110 are obtained. Based on the first device parameters, the first charging current corresponding to the charging device 120 is determined, and finally, the first charging current is output through the second pin 122 to power the aerosol generating device 110.

[0037] The device charging method provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below. For illustrative purposes, please refer to the following: Figure 2 The diagram illustrates a device charging method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application, which includes steps 210 to 250.

[0038] Step 210: If the second pin detects that the charging device and the aerosol generating device have established a communication connection, the first battery parameters corresponding to the aerosol generating device are obtained.

[0039] The charging device is used to provide different charging currents for various aerosol generating devices. The charging device includes a first pin and a second pin. The first pin is used to provide power to the aerosol generating device, and the second pin is used to detect the communication connection status between the charging device and the aerosol generating device. The first battery parameter is used to determine whether the charging device needs to provide power to the aerosol generating device.

[0040] In illustrative terms, charging equipment refers to equipment used to provide electrical energy to aerosol generating equipment.

[0041] Optionally, the charging device is a mobile power supply device, meaning that in this case, the charging device and the aerosol generating device are two independent devices; or, the charging device is a charging device specifically configured for the aerosol generating device, such as a charging compartment; or, the charging device is the first sub-device in the aerosol generating device, used to provide electrical energy, for example, the aerosol generating device includes an aerosol matrix sub-device (containing an aerosol generating matrix), and the charging device is the main device in the aerosol generating device.

[0042] Alternatively, the charging device may provide different charging currents for different aerosol generating devices in at least one of the following ways: The first type, taking different aerosol generating devices including device a and device b as an example, the charging device provides current 1 to device a, for example: 5 amps (A) current, and the charging device provides current 2 to device b, for example: 3A current. That is to say, the charging device provides different charging currents to different aerosol generating devices, and provides the same charging current to a single aerosol generating device. The second approach, taking aerosol generating equipment including device c as an example, when device c is in standby mode after startup (where standby mode means that the aerosol generating equipment does not perform functions such as heating, suction, indicator light flashing, motor vibration, etc. after startup), the charging device provides a current 3 to device c, for example: 2A current. When device c is in suction mode, the charging device provides a current 4 to device c, for example: 4.5A current. In other words, the charging device provides different charging currents for different operating states of the same aerosol generating equipment. The third method, taking an aerosol generating device including device d as an example, after device d is connected to a charging device, the charging device provides the maximum current according to the battery structure of device d. Device d adaptively selects the corresponding current for charging according to its corresponding operating state. For example, when device d is connected to a charging device, the charging device determines that the maximum charging current of device d is current 5 (e.g., 5A) according to the battery structure of device d. Therefore, it provides current 5 to device d. If device d is in standby mode, it adaptively receives sub-current 1 (e.g., 2A) for charging. If d is in suction mode, it adaptively receives sub-current 2 (e.g., 5A) for charging.

[0043] It is worth noting that the above-described method of providing different charging currents for different aerosol generating devices is merely an illustrative example, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0044] Optionally, when the charging device provides power to the connected aerosol generating device, the aerosol generating device cannot perform the aforementioned related functions; or, when the charging device provides power to the connected aerosol generating device, the aerosol generating device can perform the aforementioned related functions normally. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0045] Optionally, the charging device can be connected to multiple aerosol generating devices simultaneously, providing power to multiple aerosol generating devices at the same time; or, the charging device can be connected to only one aerosol generating device at a time, providing power to that aerosol generating device.

[0046] Optionally, the connection method between the charging device and the aerosol generating device includes at least one of the following methods: The first method involves connecting the charging device to the aerosol generating device via a data cable. The second type is that the charging device is equipped with a magnetic attraction element, and the aerosol generating device is also equipped with a magnetic attraction element on the outside. By attaching the charging device and the aerosol generating device together, the magnetic attraction elements attract each other and attach together, so that the charging device and the aerosol generating device are connected. The third type has a recessed part in the charging device and a buckle device on the outside of the aerosol generating device. The buckle device is aligned with the recessed part and fastened to connect the charging device and the aerosol generating device.

[0047] It is worth noting that the above-described connection method between the charging device and the aerosol generating device is merely an illustrative example, and the embodiments of this application do not limit it.

[0048] To illustrate, after the aerosol generating device is powered on, the battery module provides electrical energy to the heating element, causing it to heat up. Once the heating element is heated, it transfers the heat to the aerosol generating matrix stored in the aerosol matrix component (or sub-device), causing the aerosol generating matrix to reach its boiling point and atomize, generating a suspended aerosol for the user to inhale.

[0049] Indicatively, the first and second pins are two electronic components on the charging device. Generally, the charging device has an integrated chip installed. The first and second pins are two physical connection points on the integrated chip, used to form electrical contact with the aerosol generating device connected to the charging device, thereby realizing related functions (such as communication transmission function or power supply function).

[0050] Among them, the communication transmission function refers to the transmission of messages or data between the charging device and the connected aerosol generating device; the power supply function refers to the charging device providing power to the connected aerosol generating device.

[0051] Indicatively, the second pin is used for communication between the charging device and the aerosol generating device, including data transmission and data reception; therefore, the second pin can also be called the communication pin.

[0052] Indicatively, the first pin is used to determine whether the charging device needs to supply power to the aerosol generating device, including two cases: needing to supply power to the aerosol generating device or not needing to supply power to the aerosol generating device. Therefore, the first pin can also be called the power supply pin.

[0053] In illustrative terms, the first battery parameter refers to the component parameter corresponding to the battery module in the aerosol generation device.

[0054] Optionally, the first battery parameters include at least one of the following: the installation status of the battery module in the aerosol generating device, the battery capacity, or the module status of the battery module.

[0055] For illustrative purposes, the installation status includes either having a battery pack installed or not having a battery pack installed; the battery level includes any one of the following: fully charged, partially charged, low charge, or fully discharged; the battery pack status includes any one of the following: operating in accordance with a preset status or not operating in accordance with a preset status.

[0056] In one example, battery charge is expressed as a percentage. Therefore, a fully charged state means that the battery charge is 100%, a partially charged state means that the battery charge is less than 100% but greater than a preset charge threshold (e.g., 20%), a low charge state means that the battery charge is less than a preset charge threshold (e.g., 20%) but greater than 0%, and a fully discharged state means that the battery charge is 0%.

[0057] Optionally, the component state includes at least one of the following: The first method involves pre-setting a resistance range and detecting the resistance value of the battery module after powering it on. If the resistance value is within the range, it indicates that the battery module meets the module requirements; otherwise, it indicates that the battery module does not meet the module requirements. The second method involves pre-setting a voltage or current range, and then detecting the voltage or current of the battery module after powering it on. If the voltage is within the voltage range or the current is within the current range, it indicates that the battery module meets the module's requirements; otherwise, it indicates that the battery module does not meet the module's requirements.

[0058] It is worth noting that the above description of component states is merely an illustrative example, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0059] Step 220: If the first battery parameters meet the first charging conditions, activate the first pin.

[0060] Indicatively, if the parameters of the first battery meet the preset first charging conditions, the first pin is activated, putting the first pin into a conductive state.

[0061] Indicatively, if the parameters of the first battery meet the preset first charging conditions, the first pin is kept open.

[0062] Optionally, the first pin is in the enabled state (or the on state) before being enabled; or, the first pin is in the disabled state (or the off state) before being enabled.

[0063] Step 230: Obtain the first equipment parameters corresponding to the aerosol generating equipment.

[0064] The first equipment parameter is used to determine the charging index of the aerosol generating equipment.

[0065] Indicatively, when the first pin is activated, the first device parameters corresponding to the aerosol generating device are acquired.

[0066] In illustrative terms, the first equipment parameter refers to the equipment structural parameters corresponding to the aerosol generating equipment. The charging current required for the aerosol generating equipment is determined based on the equipment structural parameters, and is used as the charging index corresponding to the aerosol generating equipment.

[0067] Optionally, the first device parameters include at least one of the following parameter types: The first type is the equipment model. When designing and manufacturing aerosol generating equipment, the designers specify that different equipment models correspond to different charging currents. For example, equipment model 001 corresponds to a charging current of 3A, and equipment model 002 corresponds to a charging current of 5A. The second type is cell capacity, which refers to the amount of charge that the cells in the battery module can store and release when the aerosol generating equipment is equipped with a battery module. It is used to measure the performance index of the battery module. By presetting different capacity thresholds, different capacity thresholds correspond to different charging currents. Therefore, the closest capacity threshold is determined based on the cell capacity, and the corresponding charging current is determined based on the capacity threshold. The third type is the heating method. When designing and manufacturing aerosol generating equipment, designers specify different charging currents for different heating methods. For example, heating method a heats up to 300 degrees Celsius (°C) in 5 seconds, and the corresponding charging current is 3A. Heating method b heats up to 300 degrees Celsius (°C) in 3 seconds, and the corresponding charging current is 4.5A. The fourth type is the operating status, which indicates the current operating condition of the aerosol generating equipment. It is related to the corresponding function of the aerosol generating equipment. When designing and manufacturing aerosol generating equipment, designers specify different charging currents for different operating statuses. For example, aerosol generating equipment may have suction function, standby function, indicator light flashing function, motor vibration function, etc. Taking the suction function and standby function as examples, if the aerosol generating equipment is performing the suction function, it is in the suction state, and the required charging current is 5A. If the aerosol generating equipment is in the standby state, the required charging current is 2A.

[0068] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned parameters of the first device are merely illustrative examples, and the embodiments of this application do not limit them.

[0069] Step 240: Determine the first charging current based on the first device parameters.

[0070] Indicatively, given the aforementioned first device parameters, the first charging current required for the aerosol generating device is determined based on the first device parameters.

[0071] Optionally, the first device parameter is one of the above parameter types, or the first device parameter includes two or more of the above parameter types. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0072] Optionally, the determination of the first charging current includes at least one of the following methods: Firstly, if the first device parameter is one of the above parameter types, the first charging current corresponding to the first device parameter is determined according to the pre-set correspondence between the device parameter and the charging current (as illustrated in the above embodiments); The second method is to determine the candidate charging current corresponding to each device parameter based on the pre-set correspondence between the device parameters and the charging current, and select the one with the highest current value as the first charging current if the first device parameter includes two or more of the above parameter types. The third method is to determine the candidate charging current corresponding to each device parameter based on the pre-set correspondence between the device parameters and the charging current, and calculate the average current of the multiple candidate charging currents as the first charging current if the first device parameter includes two or more of the above parameter types. Fourth, if the first device parameter includes two or more of the above parameter types, the candidate charging current corresponding to each device parameter is determined according to the pre-set correspondence between the device parameter and the charging current, and the current value with the highest frequency of occurrence is selected as the first charging current. Fifth, if the first device parameter includes two or more of the above parameter types, the candidate charging current corresponding to each device parameter is determined according to the pre-set correspondence between the device parameter and the charging current. The multiple candidate charging currents are arranged in order of current value from low to high to obtain the current sequence corresponding to the multiple candidate charging currents, which is used as the first charging current.

[0073] It is worth noting that the above-described method for determining the first charging current is merely an illustrative example, and the embodiments of this application do not limit it.

[0074] Optionally, the first device parameters and the first charging parameters are acquired simultaneously, or the first charging parameters are acquired first and then the first device parameters are acquired. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0075] Step 250: Power the aerosol generation device based on the first pin and the first charging current.

[0076] Indicatively, when the first pin is activated and the first charging current corresponding to the aerosol generating device is determined, the first charging current is output to the aerosol generating device through the first pin, so that the charging device supplies power to the aerosol generating device.

[0077] Optionally, if the first charging current is a single current value, the first charging current is continuously output through the first pin to power the aerosol generating device; or, if the first charging current is a current sequence involved in the above embodiments, the current sequence is output through the first pin to power the aerosol generating device. In the process of outputting the current sequence, the output time corresponding to the candidate charging currents of different current values ​​is the same or different. For example, the first pin outputs a 3A current in 1 to 5 seconds, a 4A current in 6 to 10 seconds, and a 5A current in 11 to 20 seconds. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0078] The device charging method provided in this application, when the communication pin (second pin) of the charging device is connected to the aerosol generating device, acquires the first battery parameters of the aerosol generating device. If the first battery parameters meet the first charging conditions, the power supply pin (first pin) of the charging device is activated. Then, the first device parameters corresponding to the aerosol generating device are acquired, and the first charging current corresponding to the aerosol generating device is determined based on the first device parameters. Power is then supplied to the aerosol generating device through the power supply pin and the first charging current. In other words, by designing a charging device that provides charging current to the aerosol generating device, and determining whether the charging device needs to supply power and the required charging current based on the relevant parameters of the aerosol generating device connected to the charging device, the charging safety of the aerosol generating device is improved, the service life of the aerosol generating device is extended, and the overall device utilization efficiency is improved.

[0079] The following is a detailed explanation of the device charging method. Please refer to the illustrations provided. Figure 3 It illustrates a flowchart of a device charging method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application, that is, step 220 includes step 221, as follows. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0080] Step 210: If the second pin detects that the charging device and the aerosol generating device have established a communication connection, the first battery parameters corresponding to the aerosol generating device are obtained.

[0081] The first battery parameter is used to determine whether the charging device needs to provide power to the aerosol generating device.

[0082] In some embodiments, when the first pin detects that the charging device is connected to the aerosol generating device, a first connection command is sent to the aerosol generating device. The first connection command is used to instruct the aerosol generating device to establish a communication connection with the charging device. A first response message is received from the aerosol generating device. The first response message is a response message based on the first connection command. If the first response message meets the connection success conditions, it is determined that the charging device and the aerosol generating device have established a communication connection.

[0083] In illustrative terms, the connection of a charging device to an aerosol generating device refers to the electrical contact that occurs between the charging device and the aerosol generating device.

[0084] Indicatively, the first connection command refers to the charging device requesting the aerosol generating device to establish a communication connection.

[0085] Indicatively, if the aerosol generating device sends a first response message to the charging device after receiving the first connection command, it indicates that the aerosol generating device has successfully received the first connection command.

[0086] Optionally, the conditions for a successful connection include at least one of the following: First scenario: The charging device successfully receives the first response message; The second scenario: The charging device receives the first response message within a pre-set time range; The third scenario: The charging device successfully receives the first response message, and the content of the first response message meets the preset content conditions.

[0087] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned conditions for successful connection are merely illustrative examples, and the embodiments of this application do not limit them.

[0088] For illustrative purposes, if the charging device receives a first response message and the first response message meets the connection success conditions, it indicates that the charging device and the aerosol generating device have successfully established a communication connection.

[0089] For illustrative purposes, if the charging device does not receive the first response message, or if it receives the first response message but the first response message does not meet the connection success conditions, it indicates that the charging device and the aerosol generating device have not established a communication connection.

[0090] In some embodiments, the first battery parameter includes at least one of the following: whether the aerosol generating device includes a battery module, whether the battery module meets a preset module state, or the battery capacity corresponding to the battery module.

[0091] For illustrative purposes, the installation status includes either having a battery pack installed or not having a battery pack installed; the battery level includes any one of the following: fully charged, partially charged, low charge, or fully discharged; the battery pack status includes any one of the following: operating in accordance with a preset status or not operating in accordance with a preset status.

[0092] In one example, battery charge is expressed as a percentage. Therefore, a fully charged state means that the battery charge is 100%, a partially charged state means that the battery charge is less than 100% but greater than a preset charge threshold (e.g., 20%), a low charge state means that the battery charge is less than a preset charge threshold (e.g., 20%) but greater than 0%, and a fully discharged state means that the battery charge is 0%.

[0093] Optionally, the component state includes at least one of the following: The first method involves pre-setting a resistance range and detecting the resistance value of the battery module after powering it on. If the resistance value is within the range, it indicates that the battery module meets the module requirements; otherwise, it indicates that the battery module does not meet the module requirements. The second method involves pre-setting a voltage or current range, and then detecting the voltage or current of the battery module after powering it on. If the voltage is within the voltage range or the current is within the current range, it indicates that the battery module meets the module's requirements; otherwise, it indicates that the battery module does not meet the module's requirements.

[0094] It is worth noting that the above description of component states is merely an illustrative example, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0095] Step 221: If the first battery parameters meet the first charging conditions, adjust the first pin from the off state to the on state.

[0096] The first pin does not output power when it is in the off state.

[0097] Indicatively, if the charging device is not supplying power to any aerosol generating device, the first pin is in the off state (or open circuit state).

[0098] At this time, the first pin does not output electrical energy, which includes no output current and no output voltage.

[0099] In some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device includes a battery assembly, the first pin is activated; and / or, the first pin is activated when the battery assembly meets a preset assembly state; and / or, the first pin is activated when the battery charge is lower than a first preset charge threshold.

[0100] Schematic illustration: If the aerosol generating device includes a battery assembly, adjust the first pin to be in the open state (or the closed state); if the battery assembly meets the preset assembly state, adjust the first pin to be in the open state (or the closed state); if the battery charge is lower than the first preset charge threshold, adjust the first pin to be in the open state (or the closed state).

[0101] In some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device includes a battery component, the first pin is kept in the off state; or, when the battery component does not meet a preset component state, the first pin is kept in the off state; or, when the battery charge is lower than a first preset charge threshold, the first pin is kept in the off state.

[0102] For illustrative purposes, if the aerosol generating device does not include a battery assembly, the first pin is adjusted to be in the off state (or open circuit state); if the battery assembly does not meet the preset assembly state, the first pin is adjusted to be in the off state (or open circuit state); if the battery charge is lower than the first preset charge threshold, the first pin is adjusted to be in the off state (or open circuit state).

[0103] Step 230: Obtain the first equipment parameters corresponding to the aerosol generating equipment.

[0104] Among them, the first equipment parameter is used to determine the charging index of the aerosol generating equipment; In some embodiments, the first device parameters include at least one of the following: device type of aerosol generating device, cell capacity, heating method, or operating status.

[0105] Optionally, the first device parameters include at least one of the following parameter types: The first type is the equipment model. When designing and manufacturing aerosol generating equipment, the designers specify that different equipment models correspond to different charging currents. For example, equipment model 001 corresponds to a charging current of 3A, and equipment model 002 corresponds to a charging current of 5A. The second type is cell capacity, which refers to the amount of charge that the cells in the battery module can store and release when the aerosol generating equipment is equipped with a battery module. It is used to measure the performance index of the battery module. By presetting different capacity thresholds, different capacity thresholds correspond to different charging currents. Therefore, the closest capacity threshold is determined based on the cell capacity, and the corresponding charging current is determined based on the capacity threshold. The third type is the heating method. When designing and manufacturing aerosol generating equipment, designers specify different charging currents for different heating methods. For example, heating method a heats up to 300 degrees Celsius (°C) in 5 seconds, and the corresponding charging current is 3A. Heating method b heats up to 300 degrees Celsius (°C) in 3 seconds, and the corresponding charging current is 4.5A. The fourth type is the operating status, which indicates the current operating condition of the aerosol generating equipment. It is related to the corresponding function of the aerosol generating equipment. When designing and manufacturing aerosol generating equipment, designers specify different charging currents for different operating statuses. For example, aerosol generating equipment may have suction function, standby function, indicator light flashing function, motor vibration function, etc. Taking the suction function and standby function as examples, if the aerosol generating equipment is performing the suction function, it is in the suction state, and the required charging current is 5A. If the aerosol generating equipment is in the standby state, the required charging current is 2A.

[0106] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned parameters of the first device are merely illustrative examples, and the embodiments of this application do not limit them.

[0107] Step 240: Determine the first charging current based on the first device parameters.

[0108] In some embodiments, the first charging current includes a first sub-current and a second sub-current, and the operating state includes a standby state or a suction state; when the aerosol generating device is in the suction state, the first sub-current is determined based on the suction state; when the aerosol generating device is in the standby state, the second sub-current is determined based on the standby state, and the second sub-current is less than the first sub-current.

[0109] To illustrate, taking the operating states including standby state and suction state as an example (other states also exist, this is just an example), if the aerosol generating device is in suction state, the first sub-current is determined as the first charging current. If the aerosol generating device is in standby state as the first charging current, the second sub-current is determined, and the second sub-current is less than the first sub-current.

[0110] Step 251: Output a first charging current to the aerosol generating device through the first pin, so that the charging device supplies power to the aerosol generating device.

[0111] In some embodiments, a status acquisition instruction is sent to the aerosol generating device, the status acquisition instruction being used to request the acquisition of the charging status corresponding to the aerosol generating device; a first status message sent by the aerosol generating device is received, the first status message including the charging status; and if the charging status does not meet the second charging condition, the second pin is turned off.

[0112] Indicatively, during the charging process of the charging device for the aerosol generating device, the charging device sends a status acquisition command to the aerosol generating device. The status acquisition command is used to request the charging status corresponding to the aerosol generating device. If a first status message is received from the aerosol generating device, the charging status corresponding to the aerosol generating device is determined according to the first status message. If the charging status meets the second charging condition, charging continues. If the charging status does not meet the second charging condition, the second pin is turned off, and charging ends.

[0113] In some embodiments, when the second pin detects for the i-th time that the charging device and the aerosol generating device have established a communication connection, the first device parameter and the first battery parameter are obtained, where i is a positive integer; the first device parameter is stored, and first parameter data is generated, which includes the correlation between the first device parameter and the first charging current; when the second pin detects for the (i+1)-th time that the charging device and the aerosol generating device have established a communication connection, the first charging current is determined from the first parameter data.

[0114] Indicatively, when the second pin detects for the i-th time that the charging device and the aerosol generating device have established a communication connection, the first device parameters and the first battery parameters are obtained, and a correlation is generated and stored between the first device parameters and the first charging current to obtain the first parameter data. This allows the second pin to directly determine the first charging current from the first parameter data after obtaining the first device parameters when it detects for the next time that the charging device and the aerosol generating device have established a communication connection.

[0115] The device charging method provided in this application, when the communication pin (second pin) of the charging device is connected to the aerosol generating device, acquires the first battery parameters of the aerosol generating device. If the first battery parameters meet the first charging conditions, the power supply pin (first pin) of the charging device is activated. Then, the first device parameters corresponding to the aerosol generating device are acquired, and the first charging current corresponding to the aerosol generating device is determined based on the first device parameters. Power is then supplied to the aerosol generating device through the power supply pin and the first charging current. In other words, by designing a charging device that provides charging current to the aerosol generating device, and determining whether the charging device needs to supply power and the required charging current based on the relevant parameters of the aerosol generating device connected to the charging device, the charging safety of the aerosol generating device is improved, the service life of the aerosol generating device is extended, and the overall device utilization efficiency is improved.

[0116] This is illustrative; please refer to it. Figure 4 The diagram illustrates a device charging method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application, taking the coordinated execution of a charging device and a first aerosol device as an example. The method includes the following steps.

[0117] Step 401: Turn the power supply pin off.

[0118] When the charging device is not supplying power to the aerosol generating device, the power supply pin and communication pin are turned off. At this time, the communication pin is in a low-level state.

[0119] Step 402: A change in the communication pin level was detected.

[0120] When the charging device is connected to the aerosol generating device, the communication pin changes from low level to high level, resulting in a level change.

[0121] Step 403: Send connection command.

[0122] When a change in the communication pin is detected, the charging device sends a connection command to the aerosol generating device through the communication pin. If the aerosol generating device sends a response message back to the charging device and the response message meets the connection conditions, it means that the charging device and the aerosol generating device have established a communication connection.

[0123] Step 404: Obtain the first device parameters and the first battery parameters.

[0124] In a schematic manner, when a communication connection is established between the charging device and the aerosol generating device, the first device parameters and the first battery parameters corresponding to the aerosol generating device are obtained.

[0125] If the parameters of the first battery meet the first charging conditions, it is determined that the aerosol generating device needs to be charged, then proceed to step 405; otherwise, proceed to step 406.

[0126] Step 405: Start the power supply pin and determine the charging current.

[0127] Start the power supply pin and determine the charging current according to the first device parameters to charge the aerosol generating device. If the charging status of the aerosol generating device meets the second charging condition within the preset time range, execute step 406; otherwise, execute step 408.

[0128] Step 406: Enter the main program.

[0129] Start the aerosol generating equipment and run the corresponding main program to realize the relevant functions of the aerosol generating equipment.

[0130] Step 407: Disconnect the charging device from the aerosol generating device.

[0131] When the charging device is disconnected from the aerosol generating device, proceed to step 401.

[0132] Step 408: Turn off the power supply pin.

[0133] The device charging method provided in this application, when the communication pin (second pin) of the charging device is connected to the aerosol generating device, acquires the first battery parameters of the aerosol generating device. If the first battery parameters meet the first charging conditions, the power supply pin (first pin) of the charging device is activated. Then, the first device parameters corresponding to the aerosol generating device are acquired, and the first charging current corresponding to the aerosol generating device is determined based on the first device parameters. Power is then supplied to the aerosol generating device through the power supply pin and the first charging current. In other words, by designing a charging device that provides charging current to the aerosol generating device, and determining whether the charging device needs to supply power and the required charging current based on the relevant parameters of the aerosol generating device connected to the charging device, the charging safety of the aerosol generating device is improved, the service life of the aerosol generating device is extended, and the overall device utilization efficiency is improved.
