[0032] The atomizing device mainly consists of components such as a battery module and a heating module. The battery module powers the atomizing device, and the heating module (such as a heating wire) is used for heating to make the atomizing device generate steam. When the heating module is short-circuited or its resistance value becomes smaller, the current will increase sharply, resulting in overheating and posing a certain safety hazard to users.

[0033] In the related art, the short-circuit protection function of the atomizing device is generally implemented by hardware control. However, this method will increase the complexity of the circuit structure of the atomizing device. And based on software control, the atomizing device needs to have certain computing power and analog-to-digital conversion sampling functions to detect the change of the resistance value of the heating module in real time. However, there is a certain response delay in the detection and the software is prone to misoperation, reducing the safety and stability during the use of the atomizing device.

[0034] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a short-circuit protection circuit and an atomizing device, which are described in detail as follows. First, the short-circuit protection circuit in the embodiments of the present application is described.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , the short-circuit protection circuit provided by the embodiments of the present application includes:

[0036] A control module 100, the control module 100 includes a first pin, a second pin and a third pin. The first pin is electrically connected to the power input terminal. The control module 100 further includes a comparator 110. The first input terminal of the comparator 110 is electrically connected to the first pin, and the second input terminal of the comparator 110 is electrically connected to the second pin;

[0037] A heating module 200, the first end of the heating module 200 is electrically connected to the second pin, and the second end of the heating module 200 is grounded;

[0038] A switch module 300, the first end of the switch module 300 is electrically connected to the power input terminal, the second end of the switch module 300 is electrically connected to the first end of the heating module 200, and the third end of the switch module 300 is electrically connected to the third pin;

[0039] Wherein, when the control module 100 outputs a high-level signal to the switch module 300 through the third pin, the switch module 300 is turned on to enable the heating module 200 to work; when the comparator 110 receives a low-level signal from the heating module 200 through the second pin, the control module 100 outputs a low-level signal to the switch module 300 through the third pin to make the switch module 300 cut off.

[0040] It can be understood that the first pin of the control module 100 and the power input terminal can be directly connected, or there can be other electronic components connected between the first pin and the power input terminal, such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, voltage regulators, etc., which are used to achieve functions such as voltage regulation, filtering, and protection. The power input terminal is the power source of the short-circuit protection circuit and provides the required electrical energy for the entire circuit.

[0041] Exemplarily, the first input terminal of the comparator 110 is electrically connected to the first pin, which is used to obtain the voltage of the power input terminal, and a stable reference voltage can be formed through other electronic components between the first input terminal and the first pin of the comparator 110, and this reference voltage will be used as a voltage for comparison in the comparator 110. The operation of the entire short-circuit protection circuit depends on the stable power supply provided by the power input terminal. If the power supply voltage changes, it will affect the reference benchmark of the comparator 110, thereby affecting the short-circuit protection of the heating module.

[0042] Exemplarily, the heating module 200 can be a heating wire. The heating wire material can be nickel-chromium alloy, iron-chromium-aluminum alloy, etc. The heating wire can be in different forms such as spiral, mesh, or strip to optimize the heat dissipation effect. Or, the heating wire can be embedded in insulating materials such as ceramics and quartz to form a heating tube or a heating assembly. When current passes through the heating module 200, the Joule heating effect will occur, causing the heating module 200 to heat up.

[0043] It can be understood that the second input terminal of the comparator 110 is electrically connected to the second pin, and the second pin is electrically connected to the first end of the heating module 200, which is used to monitor the voltage of the heating module 200. The control module 100 can judge the temperature change of the heating module 200 by monitoring the voltage comparison result of the comparator. When the control module 100 outputs a high-level signal to the switch module 300 through the third pin, the switch module 300 conducts, allowing current to flow to the heating module 200, making it work and generate heat. If the heating module 200 has a short circuit or other faults, resulting in a decrease in its voltage, this change will be transmitted to the comparator 110 through the second pin. After the comparator 110 detects the voltage decrease by comparing the voltages of the first input terminal and the second input terminal, the control module 100 will output a low-level signal to the switch module 300 through the third pin. When the switch module 300 receives the low-level signal, it will cut off, cutting off the current flowing to the heating module 200, thereby preventing damage caused by the short circuit.

[0044] The short - circuit protection circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a control module 100, a heating module 200, and a switching module 300. The control module 100 includes a first pin, a second pin, and a third pin. Inside the control module 100, there is a comparator 110. The first input terminal of the comparator 110 is electrically connected to the first pin, and the second input terminal of the comparator 110 is electrically connected to the second pin. The electrical connection between the first input terminal of the comparator 110 and the first pin forms an internal reference voltage. The second input terminal of the comparator 110 is electrically connected to the second pin, and the second pin is electrically connected to the first end of the heating module 200, so that the second input terminal of the comparator 110 monitors the voltage of the heating module 200. The control module 100 outputs a high - level signal to the switching module 300 through the third pin. The switching module 300 conducts to enable the heating module 200 to work. By comparing the voltages of the first input terminal and the second input terminal of the comparator 110, it can be determined whether the voltage of the heating module 200 decreases due to being short - circuited or the resistance value decreasing. The comparator 110 monitors the voltage state of the heating module 200 in real - time and will detect this change. When the heating module 200 is short - circuited or the resistance value decreases, the control module 100 can output a low - level signal to the switching module 300 through the third pin, so that the switching module 300 is cut off, and the heating module 200 is disconnected from the circuit to prevent overheating, which can improve the safety and stability during the use of the atomization device.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the short - circuit protection circuit further includes a first resistor R1. Inside the control module 100, there are also a first selector 120 and a first register 130. The input terminal of the first selector 120 is electrically connected to the second pin, the output terminal of the first selector 120 is electrically connected to the second input terminal of the comparator 110. The first end of the heating module 200 is electrically connected to the first end of the first resistor R1, the second end of the first resistor R1 is electrically connected to the second pin, and the first register 130 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the first selector 120.

[0046] It can be understood that the first selector 120 is a multiplexer. It can select one of multiple input signals and output it. The first selector 120 has only one output terminal, which is connected to the second input terminal of the comparator 110, and can selectively output one of the multiple input signals to the comparator 110 for comparison. The input terminal of the first selector 120 is electrically connected to the second pin to detect the voltage at the first end of the heating module 200, forming an input voltage of the first selector 120.

[0047] Exemplarily, the first register 130 is a register that can be used to select the operating mode or function of the circuit, such as selecting different input sources, output channels, operation modes, etc. For example, by setting the data of the first 3 bits or any number of bits of the register, the first selector 120 is controlled to select one of multiple input signals and output it. The first register 130 provides a control signal for configuring the input selection of the first selector 120.

[0048] It can be understood that the first end of the heating module 200 is electrically connected to the first end of the first resistor R1, and the second end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the second pin of the control module 100. The first resistor R1 constitutes a circuit for measuring the voltage at the first end of the heating module 200.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 3 , the control module 100 further includes a second selector 140, a first flip-flop 150, a clock signal unit 160, and an exclusive OR gate unit 170. The output end of the comparator 110 is electrically connected to the first input end of the first flip-flop 150 and the first input end of the second selector 140. The second input end of the first flip-flop 150 is electrically connected to the clock signal unit 160. The output end of the first flip-flop 150 is electrically connected to the second input end of the second selector 140. The third input end of the second selector 140 is electrically connected to the first register 130. The output end of the second selector 140 is electrically connected to the first input end of the exclusive OR gate unit 170. The second input end of the exclusive OR gate unit 170 is electrically connected to the first register 130. The output end of the exclusive OR gate unit 170 is electrically connected to the switch module 300.

[0050] It can be understood that the first input end of the second selector 140 is electrically connected to the output end of the comparator 110. The second selector 140 is a selector with multiple inputs. According to the control signal, it selects one of the multiple inputs as the output of the selector. The second selector 140 provides additional flexibility and can select different signal paths according to different control conditions.

[0051] Exemplarily, the first flip-flop 150 is a storage unit used to temporarily store the output signal of the comparator 110. Its first input end is connected to the output of the comparator 110, and the second input end is connected to the clock signal unit 160. When receiving the clock signal from the clock signal unit 160, the first flip-flop 150 captures and saves the output state of the comparator, and inputs it as the signal at the second input end of the second selector 140. The second selector 140 can select the signal directly output by the comparator 110 as the output, or select the signal obtained by sampling and holding the output result of the comparator 110 by the first flip-flop 150 as the output. The first register 130 controls the output signal of the second selector 140.

[0052] Exemplarily, the first flip-flop 150 can be a D flip-flop, which is used to store one-bit binary data and update its output state under the trigger of a clock signal. The output of the D flip-flop will be updated at the rising edge or falling edge of the clock signal (depending on the specific type of the flip-flop). Using a D flip-flop can improve the response speed and stability of the short-circuit protection circuit, ensuring that the signal at the output end of the comparator 110 is accurately captured and the signal at the second input end of the second selector 140 is updated within a specific clock cycle.

[0053] It can be understood that the clock signal unit 160 is a part of an electronic device or system that provides a clock signal, providing a periodic electrical signal to control synchronous operations in digital circuits, such as data transmission, flip-flop state update, etc. The clock signal unit 160 is responsible for generating clock pulses and sending them to the first flip-flop 150 to sample the output signal of the comparator 110 to the second selector 140 at regular intervals.

[0054] Exemplarily, the exclusive-OR gate unit 170 is used to invert or directly output the signal output by the second selector 140, which is controlled by the first register 130. The exclusive-OR gate unit 170 receives two input signals and outputs a high level when the two input signals are different (i.e., one is at a high level and the other is at a low level), and outputs a low level if the two input signals are the same. Among them, one of the input signals is the signal of the first register 130, and the other is the signal output by the second selector 140. By controlling the signal of the first register 130 input to the exclusive-OR gate unit 170, it can be selected whether to invert the output.

[0055] It can be understood that the output end of the exclusive-OR gate unit 170 is connected to the switch module 300, which is used to control the conduction or cut-off of the switch module 300 according to the result of voltage comparison, and further control the connection or disconnection of the heating module 200 from the circuit to avoid overheating output of the heating module 200.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the switch module 300 includes a first switching transistor Q1 and a second resistor R2. The first pole of the first switching transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the power input terminal, the second pole of the first switching transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the third pin, the third pole of the first switching transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the first end of the heating module 200, the first end of the second resistor R2 is electrically connected to the second pole of the first switching transistor Q1, and the second end of the second resistor R2 is electrically connected to the first pole of the first switching transistor Q1.

[0057] Exemplarily, the first switching transistor Q1 can be a PMOS transistor. The first pole of the first switching transistor Q1 is the source, the third pole is the drain, and the second pole is the gate. The first pole of the first switching transistor Q1, which is the source, is electrically connected to the power input terminal, the gate is electrically connected to the third pin, and the drain is electrically connected to the first end of the heating module 200.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 5 Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the control module 100 further includes a series resistance unit, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, a fifth resistor R5, a third selector 180, and a second register 190. The first end of the third resistor R3 is electrically connected to the power input terminal. The first end of the fourth resistor R4 is electrically connected to the second end of the third resistor R3. The second end of the fourth resistor R4 is electrically connected to the second register 190. The first end of the series resistance unit is electrically connected to the second end of the third resistor R3 or the second end of the fourth resistor R4. The first end of the fifth resistor R5 is electrically connected to the second register 190. The second end of the fifth resistor R5 is grounded. The second end of the series resistance unit is electrically connected to the first end of the fifth resistor R5 or grounded. The second register 190 is electrically connected to the first input terminal of the third selector 180. The second and third input terminals of the third selector 180 are electrically connected to the series resistance unit. The output terminal of the third selector 180 is electrically connected to the first input terminal of the comparator 110.

[0059] It can be understood that the second register 190 is used to control the connection of the first end of the series resistance unit to the second end of the fourth resistor R4 or the third resistor R3, and is used to control the grounding of the second end of the series resistance unit or its electrical connection to the first end of the fifth resistor R5. The third selector 180 is used to control the connection with the series resistance unit. According to different connection situations, different reference comparison voltages can be formed.

[0060] In some embodiments, the series resistance unit includes at least two resistors connected in series. The second input terminal of the third selector 180 is electrically connected to the first end of the series resistance unit. The third input terminal of the third selector 180 is electrically connected to one end of any one of the at least two resistors connected in series.
