[0002] Current electronic atomizers typically determine the lifespan of the atomizer coil solely based on the coil resistance value, which is a relatively singular and inaccurate method. Summary of the Invention

If so, collect the atomizer core operating parameters from the previous N times to establish baseline state parameters; If not, collect the current working parameters and compare them with the baseline state parameters to obtain the change factor and calculate the aging score. Based on the aging score, the aging state is classified into different levels to obtain a graded state, and the atomizer outputs a reminder or control based on the graded state.
[0004] In some embodiments, the grading states include mild aging, moderate aging, and severe aging.
[0005] In some embodiments, when the atomizer is in the mild aging state, it outputs a reminder; when it is in the moderate aging state and the severe aging state, the atomizer outputs a control.

[0010] In some embodiments, the variation factors include resistance variation factor F1, temperature rise response factor F2, current fluctuation factor F3, cumulative usage factor F4, and abnormal heating factor F5.
[0011] In some embodiments, the aging score is A, and the calculated aging score is A=a1×F1+a2×F2+a3×F3+a4×F4+a5×F5.
[0012] In some embodiments, after the step of collecting the atomizer core operating parameters for the first N times to establish baseline state parameters, the method further includes: Correct the aforementioned baseline state parameters.
[0013] This application embodiment also provides an atomization monitoring device for an atomizer, including: The data acquisition module is used to collect the operating parameters of the atomizer core; The judgment module is used to determine whether the atomizer core is new based on its operating parameters. The acquisition and establishment module is used to acquire the atomizing core operating parameters from the previous N times to establish baseline state parameters, if so.

[0016] According to the atomization monitoring method of the atomizer in the above embodiment, the atomizer core operating parameters are collected; based on the atomizer core operating parameters, it is determined whether the atomizer core is new. If so, the operating parameters of the atomizer core for the previous N times are collected to establish a baseline state parameter; if not, the current operating parameters are collected and compared with the baseline state parameter to obtain a change factor and calculate an aging score value; based on the aging score value, the aging state is classified into graded states, and based on the graded states, the atomizer outputs a reminder or control. In addition to collecting the atomizer core operating parameters, a baseline state parameter is also established.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Similar elements in different embodiments are referred to by related similar element reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, certain operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid obscuring the core parts of the present application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, detailed description of these related operations is not necessary; they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.
[0020] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can be rearranged or adjusted in a manner obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various orders in the specification and drawings are only for the clear description of a particular embodiment and do not imply a necessary order, unless otherwise stated that a particular order must be followed.
[0021] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).
[0022] Throughout this application, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0023] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0024] The inventors discovered in related technologies that judging the lifespan of an atomizer coil depends on the number of puffs, cumulative usage time, or changes in coil resistance. However, different atomizer coils have differences in manufacturing, e-liquid type, wicking condition, and ambient temperature, making it easy to misjudge with a fixed threshold. Moreover, as atomizer coils age, they may develop carbon buildup, reduced wicking capacity, localized dry burning, abnormal temperature rise, and deterioration in flavor, but existing solutions cannot identify these issues in advance. Currently, most products lack a graded safety control mechanism corresponding to the aging state, posing risks of overheating, burnt coils, and continuous abnormal heating.
[0025] Among related technologies, lifespan can be determined by the cumulative number of puffs or the cumulative usage time: this is simple to implement, but it cannot reflect the differences in puff intensity among different users; aging can be determined by a single resistance change: this is easily affected by material fluctuations, contact conditions, e-liquid wetting degree and temperature changes, resulting in large errors; even worse, some rely on users' subjective judgment of whether to replace it based on taste, which is highly lagging and cannot provide active safety protection; some solutions only cut off heating in case of severe abnormalities: although this can provide basic protection, it cannot achieve early identification and gradual control.
[0026] This application provides a method for monitoring the atomization of an atomizer, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: Step 101: Collect the operating parameters of the atomizer core; Step 102: Determine whether the atomizer core is new based on its operating parameters. If yes, proceed to step 103; otherwise, proceed to step 104. Step 103: Collect the operating parameters of the atomizing core from the previous N times to establish baseline state parameters; Step 104: Collect the current working parameters and compare them with the baseline state parameters to obtain the change factor and calculate the aging score; Step 105: Based on the aging score, the aging state is classified into different levels to obtain a classification state, and based on the classification state, the atomizer outputs a reminder or control.
[0027] In some embodiments, N, in which the atomizing core operating parameters are collected for the first N times, can be 3 times, 5 times, 8 times, 10 times, 12 times, 15 times, 18 times, or 20 times; In some embodiments, the grading states include mild aging, moderate aging, and severe aging.
[0028] In some embodiments, when the atomizer is in the mild aging state, it outputs a reminder; when it is in the moderate aging state and the severe aging state, the atomizer outputs a control.
[0029] In some embodiments, the reminder includes one or more of the following: indicator light reminder, display screen reminder, or sending a signal to a mobile terminal to remind; the control includes one or more of the following: automatically reducing the maximum output power, shortening the single heating time and limiting the number of consecutive inhalations, cutting off the power supply to the atomizer core, and prompting to replace the cartridge.
[0030] In some embodiments, prior to the step of acquiring and collecting the atomizer core's operating parameters, the method further includes: receiving a start signal.
[0031] In some embodiments, the atomizing core's operating parameters include real-time resistance, temperature rise response time, current, voltage, single inhalation duration, cumulative inhalation count, cumulative operating energy, and number of abnormal heating cycles. Specifically, the temperature rise response time is the time required for the temperature to rise.
[0032] In some embodiments, the reference state parameters include reference resistance Rbase, reference current Ibase, and reference temperature rise response time th_base.
[0033] In some embodiments, the variation factors include resistance variation factor F1, temperature rise response factor F2, current fluctuation factor F3, cumulative usage factor F4, and abnormal heating factor F5.
[0034] It should be noted that by comparing the real-time collected operating parameter data with the baseline state parameters, resistance change factor F1, temperature rise response factor F2, current fluctuation factor F3, cumulative usage factor F4, and abnormal heating factor F5 are obtained. These change factors are used to calculate the aging score.
[0035] In some embodiments, the aging score is A, and the calculated aging score is A=a1×F1+a2×F2+a3×F3+a4×F4+a5×F5.
[0036] Where a1, a2, a3, a4, and a5 are all weighting coefficients, specifically any number between 0 and 10.
[0037] This application establishes dynamic baseline parameters (baseline state parameters) for the atomizer core. Rbase, Ibase, and th_base are established using initial normal vaping data from a new atomizer core to reduce misjudgments caused by individual differences.
[0038] In some embodiments, there are multiple changing factors, which are used for multi-parameter fusion identification. The aging state is identified by comprehensively considering resistance changes, temperature rise response, current fluctuations, cumulative operating energy, and the number of abnormal heating cycles, thereby improving the accuracy of the judgment.
[0039] like Figure 2 The figure shown is a schematic diagram of the aging scoring model.
[0040] The aging score is calculated, and the aging status is classified into different levels, which is equivalent to building an aging scoring model. The atomizer core status is divided into normal, mild aging, moderate aging, and severe aging, enabling quantitative management. Furthermore, graded safety controls are implemented, which involve issuing warnings, reducing power, limiting continuous vaping, or prohibiting heating based on different aging levels, thereby improving usage safety and extending the controllable usage period.
[0041] like Figure 3 The diagram shown is a schematic of a hierarchical strategy.
[0042] In some embodiments, after the step of collecting the atomizer core operating parameters for the first N times to establish baseline state parameters, the method further includes: Correct the aforementioned baseline state parameters.
[0043] After the atomizer core has been working for a period of time, the parameters may have shifted, and the embodiments of this application can also correct them.
[0044] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment also provides an atomization monitoring device 200 for an atomizer, which includes a data acquisition module 201, a judgment module 202, a data acquisition and establishment module 203, a comparison and calculation module 204, and a grading module 205. Specifically, The data acquisition module 201 is used to acquire the operating parameters of the atomizing core; The judgment module 202 is used to determine whether the atomizer core is new based on the working parameters of the atomizer core. The acquisition and establishment module 203 is used to acquire the atomizing core working parameters of the previous N times to establish the baseline state parameters if the condition is met. The comparison and calculation module 204 is used to collect the current working parameters and compare them with the reference state parameters if no, to obtain the change factor and calculate the aging score value; The grading module 205 is used to grade the aging state according to the aging score to obtain a graded state, and the atomizer outputs a reminder or control according to the graded state.
[0045] In other words, the atomization monitoring device 200 of the atomizer can also include an atomizer core detection module, a temperature detection module, a current / voltage acquisition module, a vaping detection module, a data recording module, an aging judgment module, and a safety control module. When the atomizer monitoring device 200 is working, it first detects the vaping action and acquires real-time resistance, current, voltage, temperature rise response time, single vaping duration, cumulative vaping count, cumulative working energy, and abnormal heating count. When a new atomizer core is detected, it acquires the data from the first N normal vaping cycles, removes abnormal samples, and establishes baseline state parameters, including baseline resistance Rbase, baseline current Ibase, and baseline temperature rise response time th_base.
[0046] During subsequent use, the atomization monitoring device 200 of the atomizer will compare the real-time collected data (current operating parameters) with the reference state parameters to obtain the resistance change factor F1, temperature rise response factor F2, current fluctuation factor F3, cumulative usage factor F4 and abnormal heating factor F5, and calculate the aging score value A=a1×F1+a2×F2+a3×F3+a4×F4+a5×F5.
[0047] In some embodiments, the aging state is divided into normal, mild aging, moderate aging, and severe aging based on a scoring threshold. When in a mild aging state, the system provides a reminder via indicator lights, a display screen, or a mobile terminal. When in a moderate aging state, it automatically reduces the maximum output power, shortens the heating time per cycle, and limits the number of consecutive vape cycles. When in a severe aging state, it cuts off the power supply to the atomizer core and prompts for replacement to reduce the risks of dry burning, burnt core, and overheating. This solution balances identification accuracy and safety protection and is applicable to various atomizers.
