Detailed Implementation

[0022] As used herein, the term "delivery system" is intended to include systems that deliver at least one substance to a user, and includes non-flammable aerosol supply systems (such as electronic cigarettes, tobacco heating products, and hybrid systems that use a combination of aerosol-generating materials to generate aerosols) that release compounds from the aerosol-generating materials without burning them.

[0023] According to this disclosure, a "combustible" aerosol supply system is a system in which the aerosol-generating material, which is a component of the aerosol supply system (or its components), is burned or consumed during use in order to deliver at least one substance to a user.

[0024] According to this disclosure, a "non-flammable" aerosol supply system is a system in which the aerosol-generating material of the aerosol supply system (or its components) is not burned or consumed in order to deliver at least one substance to a user.

[0025] In some implementations, the delivery system is a non-flammable aerosol supply system, such as a powered non-flammable aerosol supply system.

[0026] In some implementations, the non-flammable aerosol supply system is an electronic cigarette, also known as an electronic cigarette device or electronic nicotine delivery system (END), although it is noted that the presence of nicotine in the aerosol generating material is not necessary.

[0027] In some implementations, the non-combustible aerosol supply system is an aerosol-generating material heating system, also known as a thermally non-combustible system. An example of such a system is a tobacco heating system.

[0028] In some embodiments, the non-flammable aerosol supply system is a mixing system that uses a combination of aerosol-generating materials to generate aerosols, one or more of which can be heated. Each of these aerosol-generating materials can be in, for example, solid, liquid, or gel form and may or may not contain nicotine. In some embodiments, the mixing system includes liquid or gel aerosol-generating materials and solid aerosol-generating materials. Solid aerosol-generating materials may include, for example, tobacco or non-tobacco products.

[0029] Typically, a non-flammable aerosol supply system may include a non-flammable aerosol supply device and consumables used in conjunction with the non-flammable aerosol supply device.

[0030] In some embodiments, this disclosure relates to consumables comprising aerosol-generating materials and configured for use with a non-flammable aerosol supply device. Throughout this disclosure, these consumables are sometimes referred to as articles.

[0031] In some embodiments, a non-flammable aerosol supply system, such as its non-flammable aerosol supply device, may include a power source and a controller. For example, the power source may be an electrical source or an exothermic power source. In some embodiments, the exothermic power source includes a carbon substrate that can be energized to distribute power in the form of heat to a heat transfer material or aerosol-generating material adjacent to the exothermic power source.

[0032] In some implementations, a non-flammable aerosol supply system may include an area for receiving consumables, an aerosol generator, an aerosol generation area, a housing, a mouthpiece, a filter, and / or an aerosol-modifying agent.

[0033] In some embodiments, consumables used with the non-flammable aerosol supply device may include aerosol generating material, aerosol generating material storage area, aerosol generating material delivery component, aerosol generator, aerosol generating area, housing, wrapper, filter, mouthpiece, and / or aerosol modifier.

[0034] Aerosol-generating materials are materials capable of generating aerosols, for example, when heated, radiated, or electrified in any other way. Aerosol-generating materials may be in the form of solids, liquids, or semi-solids (e.g., gels), and may or may not contain active substances and / or fragrances.

[0035] Aerosol generating materials may contain one or more active substances and / or fragrances, one or more aerosol forming agent materials, and optionally one or more other functional materials.

[0036] Aerosol-generating materials may include or be in the form of aerosol-generating membranes. Aerosol-generating membranes may contain a binder (e.g., a gelling agent) and an aerosol-forming agent. Optionally, a substance to be delivered and / or a filler may also be present. Aerosol-generating membranes may be substantially free of plant material. Specifically, in some embodiments, the aerosol-generating material is substantially free of tobacco.

[0037] Consumables are articles that include or consist of aerosol-generating materials, some or all of which are intended to be consumed by the user during use. Consumables may include one or more other components, such as an aerosol-generating material storage area, an aerosol-generating material delivery component, an aerosol-generating area, a housing, cigarette paper, a mouthpiece, a filter, and / or an aerosol modifier. Consumables may also include an aerosol generator, such as a heater, which heats the aerosol-generating material to generate an aerosol during use. The heater may include, for example, a flammable material, a material that can be heated electrically, or a sensor.

[0038] A sensor is a material that can be heated by passing through a changing magnetic field, such as an alternating magnetic field. The sensor can be a conductive material, allowing it to be heated by the induction of a changing magnetic field. The heating material can be a magnetic material, causing hysteresis heating when a changing magnetic field passes through it. The sensor can be both conductive and magnetic, allowing it to be heated by both heating mechanisms. In this paper, the device configured to generate a changing magnetic field is referred to as a magnetic field generator.

[0039] An aerosol generator is an apparatus configured to generate aerosols from an aerosol generating material. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is configured to subject the aerosol generating material to thermal energy in order to release one or more volatiles from the aerosol generating material to form an aerosol. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is configured to generate aerosols from the aerosol generating material without heating. For example, the aerosol generator may be configured to subject the aerosol generating material to one or more of vibration, increased pressure, or electrostatic energy.

[0040] Figure 1This is a block diagram of an aerosol supply device (e.g., a non-flammable aerosol supply device), generally indicated by reference numeral 10. Device 10 may be referred to as an aerosol supply system.

[0041] The aerosol supply device 10 includes a battery 11 (e.g., a rechargeable battery), control circuitry 12, and an aerosol generator 13. The aerosol generator 13 may include a resistance heater for heating an aerosolizable material (e.g., a membrane or gel) to generate an aerosol (e.g., vapor). The aerosolizable material is sometimes referred to as the aerosol-generating material. It should be noted that the use of resistance heating for aerosolizable materials is described by way of example only. The principles described herein can be applied to other aerosol supply systems (such as systems using induction heating).

[0042] During use of the device 10, air is drawn into the air inlet of the aerosol generator 13, as indicated by arrow 16. The aerosol generated by the aerosol generator 13 exits the device at the air outlet, as indicated by arrow 17 (e.g., into the mouth of the user of the device 10).

[0043] In some example embodiments, the aerosol supply device 10 includes two main components: a control section 2 (which may be referred to as a reusable component) and a consumable component 4 (which may be referred to as a replaceable or disposable cartridge). During use of the aerosol supply device 10, the control section 2 and the consumable component 4 can be releasably connected at an interface 6. The consumable component 4 can be removable and replaceable (e.g., when a consumable component is used), wherein the control section 2 is reused along with different consumable components.

[0044] Of course, the aerosol supply device is provided only as an example and is highly illustrative. Many variations are possible. For example, in some example embodiments, air is drawn into an air inlet in the control section 2, passes through the interface 6, and exits the consumable component 4. Furthermore, in some example embodiments, the aerosol supply device may not be divisible into two parts.

[0045] Figure 2 This is a block diagram of an aerosol supply device, generally indicated by reference numeral 20, according to an exemplary embodiment. System 20 includes a battery pack 22 and an aerosol generator 24 (e.g., a non-flammable aerosol supply device). The battery pack 22 and the aerosol generator 24 together form the aerosol supply device 20. The battery pack 22 and the aerosol generator 24 may be separable (similar to the aerosol supply device 10 described above), but are not necessary for all exemplary embodiments. For example, the battery pack 22 and the aerosol generator 24 may be part of the same device.

[0046] Battery pack 22 includes battery 25 and parameter storage module 26. Parameter storage module 26 has one or more registers for storing one or more battery parameters (as discussed below); for example, it can store multiple battery parameters. Aerosol generator 24 includes aerosol generation module 28 and control module 29 (e.g., in the form of a microcontroller (MCU)). Aerosol generation module 28 is configured to receive power from battery 25 (specifically, e.g., from the positive battery connection (Vbat+) and electrical ground connection (GND) of battery 25, which are coupled to similar connections of aerosol generator 28). Aerosol generation module 28 is also configured to receive one or more control signals from control module 29 (e.g., controlling aspects of aerosol generation module 28, such as the aerosol generation power of the aerosol generator). Aerosol generation module 28 can take many different forms and can be, for example, a resistance heater or an induction heater.

[0047] Digital bus 27 connects parameter storage module 26 and control module 29. Digital bus 27 may be an internal integrated circuit (PC) bus and provides bidirectional digital connectivity. Control module 29 is configured to access one or more stored battery parameters (e.g., real-time parameters) via digital bus 27 and generate control signals (for aerosol generation module 28) based at least in part on one or more of said battery parameters.

[0048] The parameters stored in parameter storage module 26 can take many forms and may include information related to the battery 25 in battery pack 22, such as real-time battery parameters. This information may include indications of one or more of the following: the voltage level of battery 25, the temperature of battery 25, and the internal resistance of battery 25. For example, the internal resistance of the battery may be averaged over a short period of time (e.g., one second).

[0049] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating the algorithm, generally indicated by reference numeral 30, according to an exemplary embodiment. Algorithm 30 can be implemented, for example, using the system 20 described above.

[0050] Algorithm 30 begins with operation 32, in which control module 29 obtains one or more battery parameters of battery 25 via digital bus 27. As discussed above, the battery parameters are stored in one or more registers of parameter storage module 26 of aerosol supply device 20.

[0051] In operation 34, (by control module 29) one or more control signals for aerosol generation module 28 are generated, at least in part, based on one or more of the battery parameters (as obtained in operation 32). The generated control signals can then be provided to aerosol generation module 28.

[0052] The control signals generated in operation 34 can be used to control various aspects of the aerosol generation module 28, such as the aerosol generation power of the aerosol generation module.

[0053] Enabling the control module 29 to obtain parameter data from the battery pack 22 via the digital bus 27 offers several advantages over providing analog data. For example, digital data obtained directly from the parameter storage module 26 can be more accurate. Furthermore, providing the relevant circuitry within the parameter storage module 26 and the control module 29 saves printed circuit board space and reduces the number of I / O ports and hardware components required for the control module 29 compared to some analog solutions.

[0054] Figure 4 This is a block diagram of a system generally indicated by reference numeral 40 according to an exemplary embodiment. System 40 is an exemplary implementation of battery pack 22.

[0055] System 40 includes batteries 25 of battery pack 22 and also includes one or more sensors 42 for generating real-time parameters of battery 25, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 44 for converting the generated analog battery parameters into digital battery parameters for storage (in registers(a) of a parameter storage module), and a battery management system (BMS) controller in the form of a BMS integrated circuit (BMS IC) 46. The BMS IC 46 is configured to provide the aforementioned parameter storage module 26.

[0056] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating the algorithm generally indicated by reference numeral 50 according to an example implementation.

[0057] Algorithm 50 begins with operation 52, in which one or more registers of the parameter storage module of the aerosol supply device are filled with data related to one or more battery parameters. These registers may, for example, form part of the parameter storage module 26 of the battery pack 22 and / or the BMS IC 46 of the system 40.

[0058] The control module of the aerosol generation module of the aerosol generation apparatus is given access to one or more registers. For example, the control module 29 of the aerosol generator 24 can be given access to the parameter storage module 26 via the digital bus 27. Similarly, the control module can be given access to the BMS IC 46 via a similar digital bus.

[0059] In operation 54 of algorithm 50, the relevant control module reads the relevant registers to obtain the battery parameters. Therefore, in this example implementation, obtaining the battery parameters stored in the registers is initiated by the control module of the aerosol generator.

[0060] At operation 56 of algorithm 50, the control module generates one or more control signals for controlling the aerosol generator, at least in part based on one or more of the battery parameters (as obtained in operation 54). For example, the control signals generated in operation 56 can be used to control the aerosol generation power of the relevant aerosol generation module. Other example control signals can relate to safety protection, such as cutting off power to the aerosol generator in the event of a battery problem identified based on stored battery parameters (e.g., battery voltage above and / or below a corresponding voltage threshold, battery temperature above and / or below a corresponding temperature threshold, etc.). Therefore, if the battery parameters indicate some kind of problem with battery 25, operation 34 can take action.

[0061] Figure 6 This is a block diagram of a system generally indicated by reference numeral 60 according to an exemplary embodiment. System 60 illustrates an exemplary schematic implementation of the BMS IC 46 described above. System 60 includes a sampling module 62, a control module 64, and one or more registers 66. Of course, the BMS IC that can be used to implement system 60 may include… Figure 6 Many other modules not shown in the diagram; in addition, Figure 6 One or more modules shown in the diagram may be implemented in some other way (e.g., as part of control module 64, rather than as separate modules).

[0062] The sampling module 62 can be configured to sample one or more real-time parameters of the battery 25, and the control module 64 can be used to fill one or more parameters in the register 66 based on the sampled real-time parameters. Therefore, the sampling module 62 and the control module 64 can be used to implement operation 52 of the algorithm 50 described above. As discussed above, these parameters can take many forms, such as one or more of the voltage level of the corresponding battery, the temperature of the battery, or the internal resistance of the battery.

[0063] The sampling module 62 can receive information, for example, from one or more sensors (similar to one or more sensors 42 described above).

[0064] Access to register 66 can be provided to the control module of the aerosol generator (such as aerosol generator 24 described above), thereby enabling the control module to implement operation 54 (and operation 56) of algorithm 50. This access can be provided via a digital bus (such as digital bus 27).

[0065] Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating the algorithm, generally indicated by reference numeral 70, according to an exemplary embodiment. Algorithm 70 can be implemented by the system 60 described above.

[0066] Algorithm 70 begins with operation 72, in which sampling module 62 samples one or more parameters (e.g., real-time parameters) of the batteries (such as battery 25) of the aerosol supply device's battery pack. Operation 72 may, for example, include sampling the outputs of one or more sensors.

[0067] The parameters obtained in operation 72 can be processed in operation 74 to generate one or more parameter signals. In operation 76, register 66 is filled with battery parameters (e.g., as obtained in operation 72, or as processed in operation 74).

[0068] As discussed above, battery parameters may include one or more of the following: an indication of the battery's voltage level, the battery's temperature, and an indication of the battery's internal resistance. Of course, other parameters may be sampled and stored in addition to one or more of the battery parameters outlined above.

[0069] In some example implementations, battery parameters can be represented as a matrix, especially when multiple parameters communicate together. The matrix can be programmable, thus providing a degree of flexibility in how communication between the battery pack (such as battery pack 22) and the aerosol generator (such as aerosol generator 24) can be configured and used.

[0070] For example, the parameter data stored in the corresponding registers (and accessed via the digital bus (such as digital bus 27)) can be in the form of a matrix based on the following table:

[0071] Where A0, A1, and A2 are the most recent data samples for three data points (e.g., the voltage level of battery 25, the temperature of battery 25, and the internal resistance of battery 25). B0, B1, and B2 are earlier samples for the same data point, and C0, C1, and C2 are even earlier samples for the same data point. Of course, if only the most recent data (e.g., real-time data) is relevant, then only data A0, A1, and A2 may be required.

[0072] Many different data formats can be provided on the digital link 27 between the battery pack 22 and the aerosol generator 24, and as mentioned above, such data formats can be programmable at least to some extent.

These embodiments are provided only as representative examples of embodiments and are not exhaustive and / or exclusive. It should be understood that the advantages, embodiments, examples, functions, features, structures and / or other aspects described herein should not be considered as limitations on the scope of the invention as defined by the claims or on the equivalents of the claims, and other examples may be utilized and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the claimed invention.
