[0002] Currently, in most atomizing devices on the market, the battery module and the atomizing module are integrated or connected through complex signal cables. The two are highly coupled, resulting in high assembly and maintenance costs, poor versatility, and difficulty in adapting to atomizing modules of different specifications.

[0003] Most existing atomizing devices require additional dedicated detection components such as microphones and air pressure sensors to be installed on the atomizing module or battery module to detect signals such as airflow and air pressure to determine the atomizing status.

[0004] This detection method increases the hardware complexity and manufacturing cost of the atomizing device, and the dedicated detection components are susceptible to environmental interference, resulting in low reliability and accuracy of atomization action detection. On the other hand, the additional signal connection lines further increase the connection complexity between modules, which is not conducive to the power consumption control of the battery module and affects battery life.

[0035] Currently, in most atomizing devices on the market, the battery module and the atomizing module are integrated or connected through complex signal cables. The high degree of coupling between the two not only makes it impossible for the battery module to be disassembled and reused independently, but also results in high assembly and maintenance costs, poor versatility, and difficulty in adapting to atomizing modules of different specifications.

[0036] Most existing atomizing devices require additional dedicated detection components such as microphones and air pressure sensors to detect atomization actions on the atomizing module or battery module. The atomization action status is determined by detecting signals such as airflow and air pressure, and the detection results are then transmitted to the battery module via signal connection lines to control the operation of the battery module.

[0037] This detection method increases the hardware complexity and manufacturing cost of the equipment, and the dedicated detection components are susceptible to environmental interference, resulting in low reliability and accuracy of atomization action detection, and prone to misjudgment and missed judgment. On the other hand, the additional signal connection lines further increase the connection complexity between modules, increase the failure rate of the equipment, and the transmission of detection signals requires additional power, which is not conducive to the power consumption control of the battery module and affects battery life.

[0038] In addition, some atomizing devices that do not have additional detection components cannot accurately identify the start and stop status of the atomizing action in their battery modules. They can only maintain a fixed operating state, which either leads to untimely response when the atomizing action is triggered or causes ineffective consumption of battery power, further shortening the battery life. They cannot achieve accurate control of the battery module's operating status and cannot balance the user experience and power consumption economy of the device.

[0039] The numerous shortcomings of the existing technologies mentioned above limit the practicality, versatility, and reliability of atomizing devices, and there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can solve these problems.

[0040] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides an example of a control method for a battery module. Please refer to... Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 A schematic flowchart of a control method for a battery module provided in this disclosure is shown. This is by way of example and not limitation. The method can be applied to or operated in a battery module that is independently configured and detachably connected to an atomizing module of an atomizing device. The battery module and the atomizing module are connected via positive and negative terminals. The method includes: S101, obtain the current voltage parameters of the battery module at the current detection time, and the historical voltage parameters of the battery module at the historical detection time.

[0041] Among them, the historical detection time is the time before the current detection time.

[0042] S102, based on the voltage difference between the current voltage parameters and the historical voltage parameters, determine the atomization operation status of the atomizing device.

[0043] S103 controls the operating status of the battery module based on the atomization action status.

[0044] This embodiment discloses a control method for a battery module, which is applicable to a battery module that is independently set up and can be detachably connected to the atomizing module of an atomizing device. The battery module and the atomizing module are connected only through positive and negative terminals, without any other signal connection lines. This method can ensure the independent detachability of the battery module, simplify the connection structure between the two, reduce assembly difficulty and cost, and also enable the reuse of the battery module.

[0045] This control method utilizes the physical characteristic that the atomization action of the atomizing device triggers voltage changes in the battery module. By detecting and analyzing the voltage parameters of the battery module, the atomization action status can be indirectly determined, and the operating status of the battery module can be controlled accordingly. There is no need to set up additional detection components such as microphones and air pressure sensors, which effectively solves the problems of complex hardware, high cost, poor reliability and high module coupling of traditional atomizing devices.

[0046] Specifically, the main control unit of the battery module continuously acquires voltage parameters at two different detection times: the current voltage parameter corresponding to the current detection time and the historical voltage parameter corresponding to the historical detection time before the current detection time. The acquisition process can be combined with a timed wake-up mechanism to balance detection accuracy and battery power consumption optimization.

[0047] After obtaining the current voltage parameters and historical voltage parameters, the voltage difference between the two is calculated. By observing the change pattern of this voltage difference, the atomization operation status of the atomizing device is determined. Since the atomizing module consumes the power of the battery module when it triggers the atomization action, the voltage of the battery module drops. After the atomization action stops, the voltage of the battery module gradually rises back to a stable state. When there is no atomization action, the voltage of the battery module remains stable. Therefore, the magnitude and trend of the voltage difference can directly reflect the presence or absence of the atomization action and its start / stop status.

[0048] Furthermore, based on the determined atomization action state, the operating state of the battery module is controlled accordingly: for example, when atomization action is detected, the battery module is controlled to enter the atomization working state, which can synchronously drive the display unit to present the atomization effect; for example, when atomization action is detected to stop, the battery module is controlled to return to the standby state; and for example, when no atomization action is detected, the battery module is controlled to enter the sleep state, thereby optimizing the power consumption of the battery module, extending the battery life, and achieving accurate linkage between the operating state of the battery module and the atomization action state, ensuring a good user experience.

[0049] This embodiment of the invention does not rely on additional signal interaction between the battery module and the atomizing module. It achieves indirect transmission of power supply and voltage signals only through positive and negative terminal connection. This not only improves the independence and replaceability of the battery module, but also simplifies the structural design of the atomizing device, reduces material and assembly costs, and is suitable for atomizing device scenarios that can be independently disassembled and reused. It can be adapted to atomizing modules of different specifications and improves the reliability and stability of atomization detection by relying on the battery module.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, based on the voltage difference between the current voltage parameters and historical voltage parameters, the atomization operation status of the atomizing device is determined, including: S201, based on the voltage difference between the current voltage parameters and the historical voltage parameters, determine the voltage change state of the battery module.

[0051] S202, determine the atomization operation status of the atomizing device based on the voltage change status of the battery module.

[0052] In some embodiments, when determining the atomization operation state of the atomizing device based on the voltage difference between the current voltage parameter and the historical voltage parameter, a layered determination method can be adopted. First, the voltage change state of the battery module is determined by the voltage difference, and then the atomization operation state of the atomizing device is mapped from the voltage change state. Through this layered determination logic, the determination process of the atomization operation state is more logical and accurate, avoiding the misjudgment problem caused by directly determining the atomization operation state by the voltage difference.

[0053] Specifically, after the main control unit of the battery module calculates the voltage difference between the current voltage parameter and the historical voltage parameter, it does not directly associate the value with the atomization action state. Instead, it first defines the voltage change state of the battery module itself based on the magnitude and trend of the voltage difference. This voltage change state is the intuitive voltage performance of the battery module affected by the operation of the atomization module, and it is also a direct reflection of the atomization action state on the battery module side.

[0054] After obtaining the voltage change state, the atomization action state of the atomization device is determined based on the correspondence between the voltage change state and the atomization action state. The two have a one-to-one mapping relationship. The voltage change state is the intermediate carrier for determining the atomization action state. Through this intermediate link, the determination logic is clearer, and it also provides an adjustable technical space for subsequent refinement of the determination criteria for the voltage change state and optimization of the recognition accuracy of the atomization action state, adapting to the voltage change characteristics of different atomization modules.

[0055] Furthermore, this hierarchical determination method is compatible with the structural characteristics of the battery module and the atomizing module being connected only through positive and negative electrodes. Without additional signal interaction, the hierarchical analysis of the battery module's own voltage state enables accurate identification of the atomizing module's atomizing action state, which also improves the reliability of the determination results. This makes the operation logic of the battery module's main control unit simpler, thereby reducing the operating load of the main control unit.

[0056] In some embodiments, the voltage change state includes a voltage drop state. The voltage change state of the battery module is determined based on the voltage difference between the current voltage parameter and the historical voltage parameter, including: if the voltage difference is greater than a first voltage threshold, the voltage change state is determined to be a voltage drop state.

[0057] In some embodiments, the voltage change state of the battery module includes a voltage drop state, which corresponds to the voltage change characteristics of the battery module after the atomization module triggers the atomization action. When the main control unit determines the voltage drop state based on the voltage difference between the current voltage parameter and the historical voltage parameter, it uses a threshold comparison method to achieve accurate identification.

[0058] Specifically, after calculating the voltage difference between the current voltage parameter and the historical voltage parameter, the main control unit of the battery module compares the voltage difference with a preset first voltage threshold. The first voltage threshold is a voltage change judgment benchmark calibrated in advance based on the power supply characteristics of the battery module and the working power consumption of the atomizing module. Its value is adapted to the voltage drop of the battery module caused by the operation of the atomizing module, and can effectively distinguish the effective voltage drop triggered by the atomizing action from the small voltage fluctuation of the battery module itself.

[0059] When the main control unit determines that the calculated voltage difference is greater than the first voltage threshold, it can determine that the voltage change state of the battery module is a voltage drop state. This determination method is direct and efficient, and can quickly capture the voltage change characteristics when the atomization action is triggered, providing a clear voltage state basis for the subsequent determination of the atomization action state.

[0060] This judgment logic matches the working principle of the atomizing module. After the atomizing module triggers the atomization action, it can generate continuous power consumption, which directly leads to a significant drop in the output voltage of the battery module. The resulting voltage difference is greater than the first voltage threshold. However, the voltage difference formed by the natural voltage fluctuation of the battery module when there is no atomization action is less than the first voltage threshold. By defining the first voltage threshold, the misjudgment situation when there is no atomization action can be effectively avoided, and the accuracy of voltage change state judgment can be improved. Moreover, the calculation logic of this threshold comparison method is simple and will not increase the computing load of the main control unit, which can adapt to the low power consumption design requirements of the battery module.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown in step S202, based on the voltage change of the battery module, the atomization operation state of the atomizing device is determined, including one of the following: S301, when the voltage change state is a voltage drop state, determine that the atomization action state is that atomization action exists; S302, when the voltage change state is a voltage drop state, and the number of times the multiple voltage differences corresponding to the voltage drop state are continuously greater than the first voltage threshold reaches a preset number threshold, the atomization action state is determined to be atomization action.

[0062] In some embodiments, there is a clear correspondence between voltage change state and atomization action state. When the main control unit determines the atomization action state of the atomization device based on the voltage change state of the battery module, it provides two accurate and flexibly adaptable determination methods. The method can be flexibly selected according to the accuracy requirements of the actual application scenario, battery characteristics and atomization module specifications, taking into account both determination efficiency and accuracy.

[0063] Specifically, the first determination method is direct correspondence determination. When the main control unit has determined that the voltage change state of the battery module is a voltage drop state, it can directly determine that the atomization action of the atomizing device is active. The implementation logic of this determination method is that the voltage drop state of the battery module is only caused by the atomizing module triggering the atomization action and consuming power. The two form a corresponding relationship, without the need for additional determination conditions. The calculation logic is simple and efficient, and it can quickly respond to the initiation of the atomization action. It is suitable for scenarios with high determination response speed requirements, and it does not increase the computational burden of the main control unit, which meets the low power consumption design requirements of the battery module.

[0064] The second determination method is a dual-verification determination. Based on the voltage change state being a voltage drop state, a count verification condition is added to further improve the accuracy of the determination and avoid false determinations caused by accidental factors. After determining that the voltage change state is a voltage drop state, the main control unit continuously records the number of times the voltage difference is continuously greater than a first voltage threshold. Only when this continuous count reaches a preset threshold is the atomization action status of the atomizing device determined to be active.

[0065] The preset number threshold is a verification benchmark pre-calibrated based on the voltage fluctuation characteristics of the battery module and environmental interference factors. It is used to distinguish between the continuous voltage drop triggered by the atomization action and the single voltage fluctuation caused by accidental factors (such as environmental interference or momentary poor contact). It can effectively reduce the probability of misjudgment and improve the reliability of the atomization action status judgment.

[0066] Both of the above-mentioned determination methods align with the design logic of this solution and are compatible with the structure where the battery module and atomization module are connected only through positive and negative terminals. They do not rely on additional sensors or signal interactions; accurate determination of the atomization action state can be achieved solely through changes in battery voltage. Furthermore, both methods are flexibly adaptable to different scenarios, meeting both the rapid response requirements of some scenarios and the needs of high-precision, low-false-judgment scenarios. Both methods maintain the advantages of this solution in simplifying hardware, reducing power consumption, and improving reliability, ensuring the accuracy and adaptability of the atomization action state determination.

[0067] In some embodiments, S103, controlling the operating state of the battery module based on the atomization action state includes: S303, when the atomization action state is in the presence of atomization action, controlling the battery module to enter the atomization working state and displaying the atomization effect.

[0068] In some embodiments, displaying the atomization effect includes: presenting a dynamic light effect on the display unit of the battery module; and / or, presenting a progress bar corresponding to the atomization duration on the display unit of the battery module.

[0069] In some embodiments, the operating state of the battery module is accurately linked with the atomization action state. Based on the determined atomization action state, the main control unit controls the operating state of the battery module accordingly to ensure that the working mode of the battery module is synchronized with the atomization action, taking into account both user experience and functional compatibility.

[0070] Specifically, when the main control unit determines that the atomization action is in progress, it controls the battery module to switch from the current standby state to the atomization working state. This ensures that the battery module can continuously provide stable power to the atomization module, guaranteeing the normal execution of the atomization action. Simultaneously, it drives the display unit of the battery module to start up and present the corresponding atomization effect, allowing users to intuitively perceive the operating status of the atomization action, which meets the scenario requirements of the battery module to display the atomization effect.

[0071] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the fogging effect presented by the display unit offers two methods that can be implemented individually or in combination to adapt to different product design and user experience requirements, and neither requires additional hardware costs; both can be achieved by relying on the display unit of the battery module itself.

[0072] One approach is to display dynamic light effects on the display unit of the battery module. The flashing frequency and brightness of the dynamic light effects can be adapted to the intensity and duration of the atomization action. The light effects are continuously displayed during the atomization action and turn off synchronously after the atomization action stops, which is intuitive and simple.

[0073] Another approach is to display a progress bar corresponding to the atomization time on the display unit of the battery module. The progress bar's speed is proportional to the atomization time. When the progress bar is full, it can indicate that the atomization action has reached the preset time, making it easier for users to accurately control the atomization time and improving ease of use.

[0074] The aforementioned display method of atomization effect is compatible with the structural characteristics of the battery module, which is independently set up and connected to the atomization module only through positive and negative terminals. It does not rely on additional signal interaction between the battery module and the atomization module, and can be achieved solely through the main control unit of the battery module itself. This not only continues the advantages of this solution in simplifying the structure and reducing costs, but also enriches the functionality of the battery module, meeting the user's need for visualization of atomization effect in some scenarios. The two display methods can be flexibly selected, improving the adaptability and practicality of this method. It forms a linkage with the atomization action state determination and battery module operation state control logic mentioned above, ensuring the coherence and integrity of the entire control method.

[0075] In some embodiments, the voltage change state also includes a voltage stable state and a voltage recovery state. The voltage change state of the battery module is determined based on the voltage difference between the current voltage parameters and historical voltage parameters, including: If the voltage difference is less than the second voltage threshold, the voltage change state is determined to be a voltage recovery state. If the voltage difference is less than the third voltage threshold and the relationship between the current voltage parameter and the initial standby voltage parameter meets the predetermined conditions, the voltage change state is determined to be a voltage stable state.

[0076] The predetermined conditions include: the two are equal, or the difference between the two is less than the preset maximum deviation threshold.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first voltage threshold is greater than the second voltage threshold, and the second voltage threshold is greater than the third voltage threshold.

[0078] In some embodiments, the voltage change state of the battery module includes a voltage recovery state and a voltage stabilization state in addition to the voltage drop state. The two voltage change states correspond to the scenarios of atomization stopping and no atomization, respectively. When the main control unit determines the two states based on the voltage difference between the current voltage parameter and the historical voltage parameter, it adopts a hierarchical threshold comparison method to achieve accurate distinction. Moreover, there is a clear size hierarchy between the thresholds, so that the determination logic of the voltage change state is more rigorous.

[0079] Specifically, after calculating the voltage difference between the current voltage parameter and the historical voltage parameter, the main control unit combines the preset second voltage threshold and third voltage threshold to determine the voltage recovery state and the voltage stability state. The first voltage threshold, the second voltage threshold, and the third voltage threshold are set in descending order, and different thresholds are adapted to the determination requirements of different voltage change characteristics, forming a graded determination benchmark.

[0080] When determining the voltage recovery state, if the main control unit detects that the voltage difference is less than the second voltage threshold, it can determine that the voltage change state of the battery module is the voltage recovery state. This determination standard is adapted to the change characteristics of the battery module voltage gradually recovering after the atomization action stops. At this time, the power consumption of the atomization module stops, and the output voltage of the battery module shows a slight recovery trend. The corresponding voltage difference is in the range between the first voltage threshold and the third voltage threshold. The recovery characteristic can be accurately captured by the second voltage threshold.

[0081] When determining the voltage stability state, the main control unit must meet two conditions: the voltage difference is less than the third voltage threshold, and the current voltage parameter is approximately equal to the initial standby voltage of the battery module. The third voltage threshold is the benchmark for determining small voltage fluctuations when the battery module has no power consumption. Combined with the numerical comparison of the initial standby voltage, the stable state of the battery module without any significant voltage changes can be effectively defined, avoiding misjudging small voltage fluctuations as a voltage recovery state.

[0082] This tiered threshold determination method establishes clear and non-overlapping judgment criteria for various voltage change states of the battery module. It can accurately distinguish the three voltage change states corresponding to atomization action triggering, stopping, and no action. Furthermore, the size hierarchy of each threshold is matched with the actual voltage change pattern of the battery module, which not only ensures the accuracy of the judgment results but also makes the judgment logic simpler, without adding complex calculations to the main control unit.

[0083] Furthermore, it provides voltage status basis for comprehensive determination of subsequent atomization operation status and accurate control of battery module operation status, enabling the logic chain of the control method to form a closed loop and adapt to the detection and control requirements of the atomization equipment's workflow.

[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, S202, based on the voltage change of the battery module, determines the atomization operation state of the atomizing device, including: S401, when the voltage change state is the voltage recovery state, the atomization action state is determined to be atomization action stop; S402, when the voltage change state is a stable voltage state, determine that the atomization action state is no atomization action.

[0085] In some embodiments, the voltage recovery state and voltage stabilization state of the battery module are accurately correlated with the atomization operation state of the atomizing device. When the main control unit determines the atomization operation state based on these two types of voltage change states, it defines the corresponding atomization operation state according to the cause of different voltage change states, so that the determination of the atomization operation state covers the working scenarios of the atomizing device having no operation, starting operation, and stopping operation.

[0086] Specifically, when the main control unit determines that the voltage change state of the battery module is a voltage recovery state, it can directly determine that the atomization operation state of the atomizing device is atomization operation stopped. This determination logic matches the cause of the voltage recovery state. The voltage recovery state is caused by the atomizing module stopping the atomization operation and no longer consuming the battery module's power. The output voltage of the battery module deviates from the downward trend and gradually recovers. Therefore, this voltage change state can be directly used as the basis for determining that the atomization operation has stopped, so as to achieve rapid identification of the atomization operation stop state.

[0087] When the main control unit determines that the voltage change state of the battery module is a stable voltage state, it can be determined that the atomization action state of the atomizing device is that there is no atomization action. In the stable voltage state, the voltage of the battery module does not fluctuate significantly and remains near the initial standby voltage. This state occurs because the atomizing module does not trigger any atomization action and the battery module does not consume any additional power, only maintaining its own static power consumption. Therefore, this voltage change state is an intuitive voltage manifestation of the atomizing device not having an atomization action. Through this correspondence, the standby state or hibernation state of the atomizing device can be accurately determined.

[0088] In some embodiments, it is still as follows Figure 4 As shown, S103 controls the operating state of the battery module based on the atomization action state, including: S403, when the atomization action is not in the atomization action state, controls the battery module to enter the sleep state; S404 controls the battery module to enter standby mode when the atomization action is stopped.

[0089] In some embodiments, the main control unit controls the battery module to switch to the corresponding operating state based on two atomization action states: atomization action stopped and no atomization action. This ensures that the operating state of the battery module is highly adapted to the working state of the atomization device, thereby achieving fine-grained control of the battery module's power consumption and ensuring the response efficiency when the atomization action is triggered again. This control logic forms a linkage system with the voltage change state and atomization action state determination mentioned above.

[0090] Specifically, when the main control unit determines that the atomization action has stopped, it controls the battery module to switch from the atomization working state to the standby state. The logic of this state switch is in line with the device usage requirements after the atomization action stops. The atomization action stopping means that the user's single use behavior has ended. At this time, the battery module does not need to maintain a high power consumption working state, but needs to maintain a low power consumption standby mode to ensure that when the user triggers the atomization action again, the battery module can quickly respond to voltage detection and status determination without startup delay.

[0091] When the main control unit determines that there is no atomization action, it controls the battery module to enter a sleep state. No atomization action means that the atomization device is in an idle state that has not been used for a long time. At this time, the battery module can significantly reduce its static power consumption and only maintain the low-frequency voltage detection function of the main control unit, effectively extending the battery module's battery life and meeting the power consumption design requirements of the atomization device.

[0092] This control method balances the responsiveness and power efficiency of the atomizing device by differentiating between two states: when atomization stops and when there is no atomization. The standby and sleep modes corresponding to these two states are coordinated with the battery module's voltage detection wake-up cycle. In standby mode, a high-frequency first wake-up cycle ensures fast response, while in sleep mode, a low-frequency second wake-up cycle reduces power consumption, forming a refined power management system. This control logic eliminates the need for additional signal interaction between the battery module and the atomizing module; the battery module autonomously switches operating states based on its own determination of the atomization status. This fully demonstrates the design advantage of an independently configured battery module and aligns with the structural characteristic of the battery module and atomizing module being connected only through positive and negative terminals.

[0093] In some embodiments, before obtaining the current voltage parameters of the battery module at the current detection time and the historical voltage parameters of the battery module at historical detection times, the method further includes: Power on and initialize the main control unit of the battery module to put the battery module into standby mode; Based on a predetermined wake-up cycle, the main control unit is periodically woken up to obtain the current and historical voltage parameters of the battery module.

[0094] The predetermined wake-up cycle includes: a first wake-up cycle executed when the battery module is in standby mode, and a second wake-up cycle executed when the battery module is in hibernation mode, wherein the duration of the first wake-up cycle is shorter than the duration of the second wake-up cycle.

[0095] In some embodiments, before acquiring the current and historical voltage parameters of the battery module, the power-on initialization and timed wake-up mechanism of the battery module are configured. This provides the basic conditions for the continuous acquisition of voltage parameters and the accurate determination of the atomization action status. This pre-operation enables the voltage detection of the battery module to form a standardized and low-power operation process, which is fully connected with the subsequent voltage determination and state control logic, ensuring the orderly execution of the control method.

[0096] Specifically, the main control unit of the battery module is first given a power-on initialization operation. This operation can reset and configure the parameters of various circuits and detection units inside the main control unit, calibrate the reference value of voltage detection, initialize various preset thresholds and judgment logic, and finally put the battery module into standby mode. In this standby mode, the voltage detection function of the battery module is in a standby state and can quickly respond to subsequent wake-up commands to ensure that voltage parameters can be collected and status determined in a timely manner when the atomization action is triggered.

[0097] After power-on initialization is completed, a timed wake-up mechanism based on a predetermined wake-up cycle is configured for the main control unit. This mechanism wakes up the main control unit periodically to perform the acquisition of the current and historical voltage parameters of the battery module. This eliminates the need for the main control unit to operate at high power continuously for voltage detection, effectively reducing the overall power consumption of the battery module.

[0098] The predetermined wake-up cycle includes two differentiated cycle configurations: a first wake-up cycle executed when the battery module is in standby mode, and a second wake-up cycle executed when the battery module is in sleep mode. The duration of the first wake-up cycle is shorter than that of the second wake-up cycle. This differentiated cycle design is adapted to the usage requirements of different operating states of the battery module. In standby mode, the atomization action may be triggered at any time. Using a shorter first wake-up cycle can increase the frequency of voltage detection and ensure rapid recognition of the atomization action. In sleep mode, the atomization device is idle. Using a longer second wake-up cycle can reduce the number of wake-ups of the main control unit, maximize the reduction of static power consumption, and achieve a balance between detection frequency and power consumption control.

[0099] It should be noted that the above-mentioned pre-operation is the basis for the operation of the control method. The standardized configuration of power-on initialization ensures that the benchmark for voltage detection and status judgment is unified, avoiding judgment errors caused by abnormal initial parameters. The differentiated timed wake-up mechanism not only ensures the timeliness and effectiveness of voltage parameter acquisition under different operating states, but also achieves power consumption optimization of the battery module by relying on low-frequency wake-up. This design is set independently of the battery module and can complete autonomous voltage detection through only positive and negative terminals without additional signal triggering. It continues the advantages of this control method of simplified hardware, autonomous adjustment and low power consumption, and improves the reliability and stability of the control method disclosed in this paper.

[0100] In some embodiments, the method further includes: Record the voltage change characteristics corresponding to each atomization action; The first and second voltage thresholds are updated based on voltage change characteristics to adapt to the voltage change patterns of different atomization modules in the atomization device.

[0101] In some embodiments, a self-updating optimization mechanism for voltage thresholds is also provided. By recording the voltage change characteristics corresponding to each atomization action, the first voltage threshold and the second voltage threshold are dynamically updated based on the characteristics. This allows the judgment criteria for voltage change states to adapt to the voltage change patterns of different atomization modules in the atomization device, improving the adaptability and judgment accuracy of the method disclosed in this invention on different atomization modules. It also enables the battery module to be used with atomization modules of various specifications, strengthening the design advantages of the battery module being independently set up and replaceable.

[0102] Specifically, after the main control unit of the battery module detects an atomization action and completes the entire process judgment of that atomization action, it automatically records the complete voltage change characteristics corresponding to that atomization action. These characteristics include the magnitude and rate of voltage drop when the atomization action is triggered, the voltage fluctuation range during the duration of the atomization action, and the magnitude and rate of voltage recovery after the atomization action stops. These are key parameters that reflect the actual voltage change pattern of the battery module under that atomization action.

[0103] After accumulating the corresponding voltage change characteristic data, the main control unit dynamically updates the preset first voltage threshold and second voltage threshold based on the characteristics. The update process can be adapted to the working power consumption and power consumption characteristics of the matched atomizing module. The first voltage threshold is adjusted to match the voltage drop when the atomizing module triggers the atomization action, avoiding misjudgment of voltage drop due to the power consumption difference of different atomizing modules. The second voltage threshold is adjusted to match the voltage recovery after the atomizing module stops working, making the judgment of the voltage recovery state more in line with the actual voltage change law.

[0104] It should be noted that this threshold self-update mechanism only applies to the first and second voltage thresholds, and does not include the third voltage threshold in the update scope. Since the third voltage threshold is the static voltage stability judgment benchmark when the battery module is not atomizing, it is determined solely by the hardware characteristics of the battery module itself and is unrelated to the specifications and operating state of the atomizing module, thus requiring no adjustment based on the atomizing module. In contrast, the first and second voltage thresholds are dynamic voltage judgment benchmarks corresponding to the triggering and stopping of atomizing actions, and are directly related to the power consumption characteristics of the atomizing module. Dynamic updates based on voltage change characteristics allow the voltage judgment standard of this control method to accurately match the voltage change patterns of different atomizing modules, enabling the same battery module to adapt to multiple atomizing modules without additional debugging, thus improving the versatility and adaptability of the battery module.

[0105] Furthermore, this mechanism is autonomously completed by the main control unit of the battery module for data recording and threshold updates, without the need for external device intervention or additional signal interaction between the battery module and the atomizing module. It relies entirely on the battery module itself, which fits the structural characteristics of the battery module and the atomizing module being connected only through positive and negative electrodes. This continues the design idea of ​​simplifying the structure and autonomously controlling the system, and also makes the judgment logic of the disclosed method more in line with actual use scenarios, further improving the accuracy and reliability of the atomizing action state judgment.

[0106] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, a battery module is provided, which is independent of the atomizing module of an atomizing device and is detachably connected to the atomizing module of the atomizing device, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the battery module 500 includes: The power supply unit 501 is connected to the atomizing module 400 of the atomizing device via positive and negative terminals, and is used to supply power to the atomizing module.

[0107] The main control unit 502 is connected to the power supply unit 501 and is used to execute the control method of the battery module of any of the above.

[0108] Display unit 503 is connected to main control unit 502 and is used to display the atomization effect.

[0109] This embodiment discloses a battery module that is independent of the atomizing module of the atomizing device and is detachably connected to it. The battery module is designed around the functions of independent power supply, autonomous judgment, and atomization effect display. It is connected to the atomizing module only through positive and negative terminals, without other signal connection lines. This simplifies the connection structure with the atomizing module while ensuring the independence and integrity of its own functions. It can be adapted to different atomizing modules of the atomizing device and can be reused. It completes the judgment of atomization action status, the control of operation status, and the display of atomization effect by relying on its own hardware unit, without the need for additional supporting detection components. This meets the design requirements of miniaturization, low cost, and high reliability of atomizing devices.

[0110] In some embodiments, the battery module specifically includes a power supply unit, a main control unit, and a display unit. These units are electrically connected to form a collaborative hardware structure. The power supply unit outputs power to the atomizing module of the atomizing device, establishing a connection channel with the atomizing module through positive and negative terminals. This provides a stable power supply for the atomizing action of the atomizing module and also provides power support for the operation of the main control unit, display unit, and other hardware within the battery module itself. It is the foundation for the battery module and atomizing device to achieve their atomizing function. The main control unit is electrically connected to the power supply unit and is used to control the battery module. It internally stores any of the aforementioned battery module control methods. The execution logic can autonomously complete the acquisition of power supply unit voltage parameters, the determination of voltage change status, the identification of atomization action status of the atomizing device, and the regulation of the battery module's own operating status. Based on the determination of the atomization action status, it can send corresponding control commands to the display unit, realizing the autonomous and integrated execution of each function without signal interaction with the atomizing module, fully demonstrating the independent control advantages of the battery module. The display unit is electrically connected to the main control unit and serves as the output carrier of the atomization effect. It can receive control commands from the main control unit and display the atomization effect accordingly, allowing users to intuitively perceive the atomization action status of the atomizing device and meeting the needs of atomization effect visualization scenarios.

[0111] In this embodiment, the collaborative working logic of each hardware unit of the battery module matches the independent design features of the battery module. The positive and negative terminal connection design of the power supply unit makes the disassembly and assembly of the battery module and the atomization module more convenient, avoiding the need for additional signal connections at the hardware level. The autonomous control logic of the main control unit allows the battery module to achieve the judgment and control of the entire process without relying on any signal feedback from the atomization module, simply by detecting the voltage change of the power supply unit. The supporting display unit enriches the functionality of the battery module without increasing the complexity of hardware connections, meeting the user's need for visualization of the atomization effect.

[0112] Overall, the hardware structure design of the battery module is deeply adapted to the execution logic of the aforementioned control method. Each unit has a clear division of labor and works in an orderly manner, which not only ensures the simplicity of the connection between the battery module and the atomizing module and the convenience of disassembly and assembly, but also achieves full-function coverage of atomization action detection, operation status control and atomization effect display. This enhances the independence and versatility of the battery module, and it can be used with atomizing modules of different specifications. It effectively solves the problems of high module coupling, hardware complexity and poor versatility in traditional atomizing devices.

[0113] In some embodiments, the main control unit includes a timed wake-up circuit for periodically waking up the main control unit to obtain the current voltage parameters and historical voltage parameters of the battery module based on a predetermined wake-up cycle. The predetermined wake-up cycle includes a first wake-up cycle executed when the battery module is in standby mode and a second wake-up cycle executed when the battery module is in hibernation mode. The duration of the first wake-up cycle is shorter than the duration of the second wake-up cycle.

[0114] In some embodiments, the display unit is a display screen or an array of indicator lights disposed on the surface of the battery module.

[0115] In some embodiments, the main control unit integrates a timed wake-up circuit, which is the hardware for detecting low-power voltage of the battery module. This timed wake-up circuit works in conjunction with the voltage parameter acquisition function of the main control unit to provide hardware support for the implementation of the timed wake-up mechanism in the aforementioned control method, ensuring that the main control unit can complete the acquisition of voltage parameters according to a preset cycle, thus balancing detection timeliness and battery power consumption optimization.

[0116] It should be understood that the function of this timed wake-up circuit is to wake up the main control unit at predetermined wake-up cycles, so that the main control unit can perform the operation of acquiring the current voltage parameters and historical voltage parameters of the battery module, without requiring the main control unit to be continuously in working state, thereby achieving effective power consumption control from the hardware level.

[0117] The circuit is configured with a predetermined wake-up cycle that is adapted to the operating state of the battery module. It includes two differentiated wake-up cycles: a first wake-up cycle executed when the battery module is in standby mode, and a second wake-up cycle executed when the battery module is in sleep mode. The duration of the first wake-up cycle is shorter than that of the second wake-up cycle. In standby mode, the atomization action may be triggered at any time. The timed wake-up circuit wakes up the main control unit with a shorter first wake-up cycle, increasing the voltage detection frequency and ensuring rapid identification and response to the atomization action. In sleep mode, the atomization device is idle, and the circuit wakes up the main control unit with a longer second wake-up cycle, reducing the number of times the main control unit works and minimizing the static power consumption of the battery module. Through this differentiated hardware wake-up logic, an accurate balance between detection efficiency and power consumption control is achieved.

[0118] In some embodiments, the display unit is a display screen or indicator light array disposed on the surface of the battery module. Both hardware forms can efficiently receive control commands from the main control unit and complete the visualization of the atomization effect. Both are also compatible with the design features of independent battery module settings and miniaturization. They can be flexibly selected according to the product design requirements and cost requirements of the atomization device without the need for additional hardware connection structures.

[0119] If a display screen is used as the display unit, the atomization effect can be presented in a refined manner on the surface of the battery module, such as clearly displaying the progress bar corresponding to the atomization time, and can also simultaneously display additional information such as the remaining power of the battery module, enriching the user's visual perception; if an indicator light array is used as the display unit, dynamic light effects can be presented through the flashing, constant light, and color changes of the indicator lights, intuitively reflecting the operating status of the atomization action. This form has a simple hardware structure, low cost, and lower power consumption, making it suitable for product design scenarios that pursue miniaturization and low cost.

[0120] Regardless of the hardware form factor, the display unit is directly mounted on the surface of the battery module, allowing users to intuitively view the atomization effect. It is electrically connected to the main control unit and can operate by receiving autonomous control commands from the main control unit without any hardware or signal interaction with the atomization module. This aligns with the structural feature of the battery module and the atomization module being connected only through positive and negative terminals, continuing the design advantages of independent control and simplified structure of the battery module.

[0121] The hardware design of the aforementioned main control unit and display unit is matched with the overall functional logic of the battery module. The timed wake-up circuit provides the hardware implementation basis for the timed wake-up mechanism in the control method, enabling the acquisition of voltage parameters to form a standardized and low-power operating system, which works in synergy with the judgment and regulation functions of the main control unit. The specific hardware configuration of the display unit not only ensures the implementation of the atomization effect display function of the battery module, but also takes into account the flexibility and practicality of product design. Both of them further enhance the independence, versatility and low power consumption characteristics of the battery module from the hardware level, so that the hardware structure of the battery module and the execution logic of the aforementioned control method form a complete software and hardware adaptation, ensuring the efficient and stable implementation of various functions of the battery module.

[0122] According to embodiments of this disclosure, an embodiment of an atomizing device is provided, still as Figure 5 As shown, the atomizing device includes an atomizing module 400 and a battery module 500 that are independently configured and detachably connected. The battery module 500 and the atomizing module 400 are connected via positive and negative terminals. The battery module 500 is any of the battery modules in the above embodiments. The battery module is used to detect changes in its own voltage parameters to determine the atomizing action state of the atomizing module, and to control its own operating state based on the atomizing action state. The atomizing module 400 is used to trigger the atomizing action and is powered by the battery module to achieve the atomizing function.

[0123] This embodiment discloses an atomizing device with a split-type structure, consisting of an independently set and detachably connected battery module and an atomizing module. The two are connected only through positive and negative terminals, without any other signal connection structure. This simplifies the connection method of the atomizing device, reduces assembly and maintenance costs, and enables each module to have independent functional attributes and replaceability. The battery module can be adapted to atomizing modules of different specifications for reuse, and the atomizing modules can also be replaced individually according to usage needs, improving the versatility and flexibility of the atomizing device. Relying on the autonomous detection and control capabilities of the battery module, there is no need to set up additional sensors and signal interaction modules for atomization action detection in the atomizing device, thus achieving the design goals of hardware simplification and reliability improvement from a structural perspective.

[0124] The atomizing device's functions are achieved collaboratively by a battery module and an atomizing module. These two modules are independently configured with clearly defined roles and work in a coordinated manner to complete the triggering, execution, and status feedback of the atomizing action. The battery module is any of the aforementioned battery modules, electrically connected to the atomizing module via positive and negative terminals. On one hand, it provides a stable and continuous power supply for the entire workflow of the atomizing module, serving as the energy foundation for its atomizing function. On the other hand, it can autonomously detect changes in its own voltage parameters and accurately determine the atomizing action status of the atomizing module using the aforementioned control methods. Without any signal interaction with the atomizing module, it can autonomously adjust its own operating state based on the determined atomizing action status and display the atomizing effect through its own display unit. This allows users to intuitively perceive the working status of the atomizing device and autonomously achieve atomizing action detection, operating status adjustment, and effect display.

[0125] The atomizing module performs the atomization function of the atomizing device. It can trigger the atomization action according to the user's operation. It integrates functional units such as airflow detection and atomizer core drive. When the user's inhalation operation is detected, the atomizer core is automatically activated to realize the atomization function. The atomization action is completed by the power supplied by the battery module through the positive and negative terminals. There is no need to feed back any action signals to the battery module. The power consumption change of the atomizing module can be directly reflected in the voltage parameters of the battery module, which becomes the basis for the battery module to determine the atomization action status.

[0126] The working logic of this atomizing device conforms to the structural design features of a split design without additional signal connections. The battery module and the atomizing module only transmit electrical energy in one direction through the positive and negative terminals. Changes in the working state of the atomizing module are indirectly transmitted to the battery module in the form of voltage changes. The battery module, in turn, senses the working state of the atomizing module through autonomous voltage detection and state determination, forming an indirect state detection and control system that does not require signal interaction.

[0127] It is worth noting that this structural design can avoid the problems of complex structure and high failure rate caused by the complicated signal connection between modules in traditional atomizing devices, and fully leverage the independent control advantages of the battery module. This makes the hardware structure of the atomizing device simpler, lower in cost, and more reliable. The detachable independent module design meets the needs of environmental protection and convenient use, providing a new approach to the structural design of atomizing devices.

[0128] In some embodiments, the atomization module includes an airflow detection unit and an atomization output unit. After the airflow detection unit triggers the atomization action, the atomization output unit operates to cause a change in the voltage parameters of the battery module.

[0129] In some embodiments, the atomizing module integrates an airflow detection unit and an atomization output unit. The two units work together to trigger and execute the atomization action, which is also the hardware basis for the atomizing module to consume power and cause changes in the voltage parameters of the battery module. The working logic of the two is highly compatible with the voltage detection and state determination logic of the battery module. Through changes in power consumption at the hardware level, the atomization action state is indirectly transmitted to changes in the voltage parameters of the battery module. The battery module can sense the start and stop of the atomization action without additional signal interaction.

[0130] The airflow detection unit assists in triggering the atomization action by detecting the user's inhalation. It accurately identifies changes in airflow and generates an action trigger signal, which is a prerequisite for the atomization module to start working. When the user performs an inhalation operation, the airflow detection unit detects the change in airflow and immediately sends a trigger command to the atomization output unit to start the atomization action execution process. The atomization output unit is used to perform the atomization function and is the main power consumption unit of the atomization module. After receiving the trigger command from the airflow detection unit, it enters the working state and converts electrical energy into heat energy to atomize the atomization medium, thus completing the atomization function.

[0131] When the atomizing output unit is working, it generates continuous and stable power consumption. This consumption draws power from the battery module through the positive and negative connection channels, directly causing a drop in the output voltage of the battery module. When the user stops inhaling and the airflow detection unit detects no change in airflow, the atomizing output unit immediately stops working, power consumption ceases, and the voltage of the battery module gradually rises back to a stable state. It is this change in power consumption caused by the operation of the atomizing output unit that causes a corresponding change in the voltage parameters of the battery module, providing a hardware-level basis for the battery module to determine the atomization operation status by detecting its own voltage parameters.

[0132] It should be understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the collaborative working mode of the airflow detection unit and the atomization output unit makes the atomization action triggering and execution process of the atomization module more standardized, and the changes in power consumption have a clear regularity. The voltage drop and rise of the corresponding battery module also show detectable characteristics, which are consistent with the first voltage threshold and the second voltage threshold judgment criteria of the battery module.

[0133] This hardware design allows the atomizing module's operating status to be reflected solely through power consumption, eliminating the need for any additional signal transmission or feedback units within the atomizing module. This simplifies the hardware structure of the atomizing module, reduces manufacturing costs, and aligns with the design requirement that the atomizing module and battery module are connected only through positive and negative terminals. From a hardware perspective, it ensures the battery module's autonomous detection and judgment design logic, enabling the atomizing device's hardware and software to form a complete and compatible system. This ensures accurate determination of the atomization operation status and improves the reliability and stability of the atomizing device.

[0134] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0135] Corresponding to the control method of the battery module described in the above embodiments, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a control device for a battery module provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. This device can be implemented as part or all of a computer device by software, hardware, or a combination of both. The computer device can be... Figure 7 The electronic device shown.

[0136] Reference Figure 6 The battery module is independently configured and detachably connected to the atomizing module of the atomizing device. The battery module and the atomizing module are connected via positive and negative terminals. The control device 600 of the battery module includes: The acquisition unit 601 is used to acquire the current voltage parameter of the battery module at the current detection time and the historical voltage parameter of the battery module at a historical detection time, wherein the historical detection time is a time before the current detection time.

[0137] The determining unit 602 is used to determine the atomization operation state of the atomizing device based on the voltage difference between the current voltage parameter and the historical voltage parameter.

[0138] The control unit 603 is used to control the operating state of the battery module based on the atomization action state.

[0139] Furthermore, based on any of the above embodiments, as an example of this disclosure, the determining unit is specifically configured as follows: Based on the voltage difference between the current voltage parameters and the historical voltage parameters, the voltage change state of the battery module is determined; based on the voltage change state of the battery module, the atomization operation state of the atomizing device is determined.

[0140] Furthermore, based on any of the above embodiments, as an example of this disclosure, the voltage change state includes a voltage drop state, and the determining unit is specifically configured as follows: If the voltage difference is greater than the first voltage threshold, the voltage change state is determined to be a voltage drop state.

[0141] Furthermore, based on any of the above embodiments, as an example of this disclosure, the determining unit is specifically configured as one of the following: When the voltage change state is the voltage drop state, it is determined that the atomization action state is that atomization action exists.
