Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of electronic atomization devices, and particularly to a detection system. Background Art

[0002] The atomization device includes an atomization part, which includes a heating element and a liquid guiding element wrapped outside the heating element. By heating the heating element, the atomization matrix on the liquid guiding element is heated and volatilized to form an aerosol, providing a smoking experience similar to that of a cigarette for users. There are two conventional methods for testing the performance of atomization devices: one is to test the whole atomization device; the other is to detect the performance of each module of the atomization device before assembly. For the first method, when performing a suction test on the atomization device, the heating element will be heated according to a preset temperature curve. Since the atomization device is not filled with oil after assembly, the heating element is in a dry-burning state, and the liquid guiding element wrapped outside the heating element may be burned out, posing a certain safety hazard. In severe cases, it may even lead to the scrapping of the atomization device. For the second method, usually, each performance module integrated on the circuit board of the atomization device is separately detected before assembly. The detection procedure is complex and the detection efficiency is low. Moreover, even if the detection results of each performance module are qualified, problems such as poor contact of the circuit board may still be caused by the movement, welding, and static electricity of the circuit board during the assembly process of the atomization device, which will also lead to a decrease in the yield rate of the assembled atomization device.

These several specific embodiments below can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0030] As mentioned in the background art, for an atomizing device that does not add an atomizing matrix at the time of leaving the factory, such as a disposable rechargeable atomizing device that has not been refueled, the detection method for it, whether it is a whole machine test or a module-by-module detection, has certain defects and cannot guarantee the yield rate of the atomizing device. Therefore, for an atomizing device that does not add an atomizing matrix, efficient and accurate detection is an important factor in ensuring its quality.

[0031] Figure 1 It is a structural block diagram of a detection system provided by an embodiment of this application. As Figure 1 shown, the detection system provided by this embodiment includes a charging detection module 110, a heating element detection module 120, and a suction detection module 130, and a main control module 140 that is respectively connected to the charging detection module 110, the heating element detection module 120, and the suction detection module 130.

[0032] In this embodiment, the charging detection module 110 is used to collect and obtain the charging performance parameters of the atomizing device.

[0033] For electronic products, the realization of all their performances is based on the fact that the battery in them is powered. For atomizing devices, only when their charging performance meets the requirements can they be controlled to heat, and further make the atomizing matrix in them generate an aerosol for users to inhale, providing the same experience as a real cigarette. Therefore, before detecting the various performances of the atomizing device, it is necessary to detect its charging performance.

[0034] In some embodiments, the charging performance parameters of the atomization device include the charging voltage, charging current, charging status, and / or charging efficiency during the charging process of the atomization device.

[0035] The charging voltage refers to the voltage connected when the atomization device is charging. For a specific electronic device, it has a suitable input voltage range. Within this voltage range, the charging device can be safely charged. While ensuring the charging voltage, there are also certain requirements for the charging current. Generally, the maximum charging current during the charging process is preset. An excessive charging current can damage the battery in the atomization device. For some atomization devices, there are indicator lights or displays for the charging status. Therefore, when detecting the charging performance of the atomization device, it is also necessary to detect whether its charging status indicates correctly. With the development of fast charging technology, higher requirements are also put forward for the charging efficiency of electronic devices. Therefore, the charging efficiency of the atomization device is also an important factor in evaluating its charging performance.

[0036] In some embodiments, the charging detection module 110 includes at least one connection interface for connecting to the atomization device to be detected. That is, the charging detection module 110 can be connected to multiple atomization devices simultaneously. That is, this detection system can detect the performance of multiple atomization devices simultaneously, improving the detection efficiency compared with the prior art.

[0037] In this embodiment, the heating element detection module 120 is used to obtain the state parameters of the heating element of the atomization device when the atomization device is in the low-current mode; wherein, when the atomization device is in the low-current mode, the electrical parameters of the heating element in the atomization device are less than the first threshold.

[0038] For common atomization devices, their working principle is that after being powered by a battery, the heating component, that is, the heating element, is controlled by a controller or a processor to start heating, baking the atomization matrix therein, and atomizing it to generate an aerosol for users to inhale. However, the output power of the heating element under normal operation is relatively high, that is, the temperature during its heating process is also relatively high. For an atomization device without pre-added atomization matrix, the heating element will be in a dry-burning state, and the liquid guiding member wrapped around the heating element may be burned out, posing certain potential safety hazards. In severe cases, it may lead to the scrapping of the atomization device. Therefore, for such atomization devices without added atomization matrix, when detecting the state of the heating element of the atomization device, safety must be ensured.

[0039] Therefore, in this embodiment, the prerequisite for detecting the performance of the heating element is that after the atomization device enters the low-current mode, when the atomization device is in the low-current mode, the electrical parameters of the heating element in the atomization device are less than the first threshold. That is to say, after controlling the atomization device to enter the low-current mode, a relatively small input voltage is applied across the heating element by the controller or processor, so that in the actual working state of the atomization device, only a small current passes through the heating element. According to the principle of heat generation of the heating element, on the premise that only a small current passes through, the heat generated is limited and will not cause the heating element to be in a dry-burning state at a high temperature, resulting in adverse consequences.

[0040] In some embodiments, the electrical parameters of the heating element can be the current passing through the heating element, the voltage applied to the heating element, the power output by the heating element, and / or the heat generated by the heating element.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, generally, the heating element in the atomization device can be regarded as a resistor with a certain resistance value. The power P output by the heating element is P = I 2 R or P = U2 / R, which can be seen to be related to the resistance of the heating element and the current passing through the heating element or the voltage applied to the heating element. To ensure that the atomization device enters the low-current mode (when the atomization device is in the low-current mode, the current passing through it is generally between 0.01 - 0.2 A), the power output by the heating element can be obtained so that its output power is less than a preset first threshold. For example, the first threshold can be between 0.01 w - 0.5 w to ensure that the power output in the low-current mode is small and will not cause dry burning.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, it can also be ensured that it is in the low-current mode by the heat generated by the heating element. The heat Q generated by the heating element is Q = I 2 Rt. By ensuring that the heat release value within a certain time is less than the first threshold, it is ensured that the heat generated in the low-current mode is small and will not cause dry burning.

[0043] It can be understood that on the premise that the resistance of the heating element and the preset first threshold are known, the current value or voltage value of the atomization device in the low-current mode can be inversely deduced, so as to accurately control the atomization device to enter the low-current mode. The heating element generates slight heat, but its output power or the heat generated is less than the first threshold and will not burn the liquid guiding member wrapped outside the heating element.

[0044] The heating element can be regarded as a resistor capable of generating heat. In a normal circuit, the state of the heating element is intact. If the heating element is in a short - circuit state, that is, in the circuit where the heating element is located, there is a short - circuit situation, namely, the two poles of the power supply of the heating element circuit bypass the heating element and are directly connected, forming a closed loop. In this state, the current that should originally pass through the heating element bypasses the load and directly flows from the positive pole to the negative pole of the power supply, which will cause the current in the circuit to increase abnormally and burn out the circuit. Moreover, if the heating element is in an open - circuit state, then one or more points in the circuit where the heating element is located are in an open state, and no current will flow through the heating element, that is, the atomizing device cannot work properly. Therefore, when the state of the heating element is short - circuited or open - circuited, it can be regarded as an abnormal state of the heating element, that is, the state detection of the heating element is unqualified.

[0045] In some embodiments, the state parameters of the heating element at least include the resistance value of the heating element. Generally, during the design of an atomizing device, a heating element with an appropriate resistance value is selected according to the expected output power. Therefore, when detecting the state of the heating element, the resistance value of the heating element under low current can be obtained through detection to judge the state of the heating element.

[0046] In this embodiment, the suction detection module 130 is used to obtain the suction performance parameters of the atomizing device in the low - current mode.

[0047] After the atomizing device enters the low - current mode, the actual working state of the atomizing device can be simulated. When the heating element is under the input of a small current and starts to heat up, the state parameters of the heating element can be obtained. Also, simulated suction can be performed to obtain the suction performance parameters in its working state. By integrating the state parameters of the heating element and the suction performance parameters of the atomizing device, it can be judged whether the basic performance of the atomizing device meets the requirements, which helps to improve the yield rate of the atomizing device.

[0048] In some embodiments, the suction performance parameters of the atomizing device at least include suction resistance, smoke volume, and smoke concentration.

[0049] It can be understood that the draw resistance of an atomization device refers to the resistance encountered by the smoke when passing through the atomization device during the suction process. The magnitude of the draw resistance directly affects the taste of the e-cigarette, the amount of smoke, and the user's suction experience. Generally speaking, the greater the draw resistance, the longer the smoke stays inside the atomization device, the corresponding reduction in flow rate, which may lead to a decrease in the amount of smoke. On the contrary, the smaller the draw resistance, the faster the smoke flow rate, and the relatively larger the amount of smoke. At the same time, the magnitude of the draw resistance also affects the taste of the e-cigarette. A larger draw resistance may make the smoke more intense and the throat hit stronger; while an overly small draw resistance may make the smoke more dispersed and the taste more hollow. The draw resistance of the atomization device is closely related to the intake air volume. The greater the draw resistance, the smaller the intake air volume; the smaller the draw resistance, the larger the intake air volume. It can be seen that the draw resistance of the atomization device has a significant impact on the taste, the amount of smoke, and the user's suction experience of the atomization device. Therefore, the magnitude of the draw resistance can more accurately characterize the suction performance of the atomization device.

[0050] It should be noted that the heating element detection and suction detection of the atomization device can be performed simultaneously or in a sequential order, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0051] In this embodiment, the main control module 140 responds to an external input instruction to control the charging detection module 110, the heating element detection module 120, and / or the suction detection module 130 to perform detection according to a preset program. At the same time, the main control module 140 is also used to obtain the charging performance parameters, the heating element state parameters, and the suction performance parameters, and generate a detection result indicating that one or more properties of the atomization device are unqualified.

[0052] It can be understood that the main control module 140 further determines whether the charging performance, the heating element state, and the suction performance of the atomization device are qualified according to the charging performance parameters, the heating element state parameters, and the suction performance parameters obtained according to the preset program, which characterize the charging performance, the heating element state, and the suction performance of the atomization device. After comparison and judgment, it can be clearly determined whether the performance of each item of the atomization device meets the expected design requirements. When it is determined that at least one performance is unqualified, a corresponding detection result of unqualified performance detection is output in a timely manner.

[0053] In some embodiments, the main control module 140 is also used to judge whether the detection result of the charging performance of the atomization device is qualified according to the charging performance parameters output by the charging detection module 110. Especially when it is judged that the detection result of the charging performance is qualified, the main control module 140 controls the atomization device to enter the low-current mode to ensure the performance detection of the heating element and the suction performance detection under the premise of safety.

[0054] In some embodiments, the main control module 140 includes a processor 5101 and a memory 5102 communicatively connected to the processor 5101, wherein the memory 5102 stores a computer program, and the processor 5101 is used to implement a detection method for detecting the performance of the atomization device as previously set when the computer program is executed.

[0055] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a detection method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the detection method for detecting the performance of the atomization device provided in this embodiment, it should be noted that the detection method is applied to the atomization device without adding the atomization matrix, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0056] Step S201: Perform a charging performance test on the atomization device to obtain charging performance parameters.

[0057] Step S202: When the detection result of the charging performance is determined to be qualified, the atomizing device is controlled to enter a low current mode; wherein, when the atomizing device is in the low current mode, the electrical parameter of the heating element in the atomizing device is less than a first threshold value.

[0058] When the charging performance test result of the atomizer device is qualified, that is, the realization of each performance of the atomizer device has the prerequisite, then the other performances of the atomizer device can be tested sequentially or synchronously.

[0059] In this embodiment, after determining that the test result of the charging performance of the atomization device is qualified, the atomization device is controlled to enter the low current mode.

[0060] Step S203: Detect the state of the heating element of the atomization device to obtain the state parameters of the heating element.

[0061] Step S204: Perform suction performance testing on the atomization equipment to obtain suction performance parameters.

[0062] It should be noted that step S203 and step S204 may be executed simultaneously or in a sequential order, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0063] In summary, the detection system provided by the embodiments of the present application is used to detect an atomizing device without an atomizing matrix. The detection system includes a charging detection module 110, a heating element detection module 120, a suction detection module 130, and a main control module 140. The main control module 140 obtains the charging performance parameters of the atomizing device through the charging detection module 110 according to the above detection method, and controls the atomizing device to enter the low-current mode when the detection result of the charging performance is qualified. Among them, in the low-current mode of the atomizing device, the electrical parameters of the heating element in the atomizing device are less than a first threshold. At this time, the heating element state parameters and suction performance parameters of the atomizing device are respectively obtained through the heating element detection module 120 and the suction detection module 130.

[0064] In the present application, when the charging performance of the atomizing device is qualified, the atomizing device is controlled to enter the low-current mode, so as to ensure that the electrical parameters of the heating element are in a lower range during the detection process, and then the state of the heating element and the suction performance are detected, avoiding the safety hazard of dry burning of the heating element, and at the same time ensuring the accuracy of the detection result. At the same time, the detection system provided by the embodiments of the present application has a simple structure, and can conveniently detect and analyze its various performance modules. The detection program is efficient and convenient, and has a high detection accuracy, improving the yield rate of the atomizing device.

[0065] Figure 3 It is a flowchart for determining that the detection result of the charging performance of the atomizing device is qualified provided by an embodiment of the present application. In the above embodiment, in step S202, first, it is necessary to determine that the detection result of the charging performance of the atomizing device is qualified, and then control it to enter the low-current mode. As Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, the steps when the detection result of the charging performance is judged to be qualified include:

[0066] Step S301: Judge whether the charging performance parameters deviate from the preset first threshold range.

[0067] Step S302: When the charging performance parameters do not deviate from the first threshold range, determine that the detection result of the charging performance is qualified.

[0068] It can be understood that during the design process of an atomizing device, there are expectations for the charging performance parameters during its charging process. For example, it is expected that the charging voltage of the atomizing device is 4.2V, and the charging current is determined according to the battery capacity of different models. The relatively common charging current is between several hundred milliamperes and several amperes. Therefore, the expected value or expected range of the designed charging performance parameters can be used as the standard for judging the charging performance of the atomizing device. During the process of determining that the detection result of the charging performance of the atomizing device is qualified, according to the preset first threshold range, that is, the expected value or expected range of the designed charging performance parameters, it can be judged whether the detected charging performance parameters deviate from the preset first threshold range. If the charging performance parameters do not deviate from the first threshold range, it can be determined that the detection result of the charging performance is qualified. On the contrary, if the charging performance parameters deviate from the first threshold range, it can be determined that the detection result of the charging performance is unqualified.

[0069] Figure 4 The flowchart of the detection method provided by another embodiment of the present application. As Figure 4 shown, the detection method for detecting the performance of an atomizing device provided by this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

[0070] Step S401: Perform a charging performance detection on the atomizing device to obtain charging performance parameters.

[0071] Step S402: When it is determined that the detection result of the charging performance is qualified, control the atomizing device to enter the low-current mode; wherein, in the low-current mode of the atomizing device, the electrical parameters of the heating element in the atomizing device are less than the first threshold.

[0072] Step S403: Perform a heating element state detection on the atomizing device to obtain heating element state parameters.

[0073] Step S404: Perform a suction performance detection on the atomizing device to obtain suction performance parameters.

[0074] Step S405: Output the charging performance parameters, heating element state parameters, and suction performance parameters.

[0075] It should be noted that the implementation processes of steps S401 - S404 in this embodiment are similar to those described in any of the above embodiments and have the same technical effects, so they will not be elaborated here.

[0076] In this embodiment, after the detection procedure is completed, the charging performance parameters, heating element status parameters and suction performance parameters that characterize the charging performance, heating element status and suction performance of the atomization device are detected and obtained, and the charging performance parameters, heating element status parameters and suction performance parameters are output, and the output data can be used for further analysis and processing. For example, it can be output to an externally connected display device to display various performance parameters for intuitive judgment by the detection personnel; it can also be output to an externally connected PC or other equipment to analyze and summarize various performance parameters, and if necessary, it can also be displayed in a visual form such as a chart, or data can be stored for product improvement and upgrading.

[0077] In some embodiments, the detection method may further include:

[0078] Step S406: outputting a test result indicating that one or more performances of the atomizing device are unqualified according to the charging performance parameter, the heating element state parameter and / or the suction performance parameter.

[0079] It can be understood that, similar to the above-mentioned judgment that the test result of the charging performance of the atomization device is qualified, in this embodiment, the detection method also includes further judging whether the charging performance, heating element status and suction performance of the atomization device are qualified based on the acquired charging performance parameters, heating element status parameters and suction performance parameters that characterize the charging performance, heating element status and suction performance of the atomization device. After comparison and judgment, it can be clearly determined whether the various performances of the atomization device meet the expected design requirements. When it is determined that at least one of its performances is unqualified, the corresponding performance test result of failure is output in a timely manner.

[0080] Figure 5 A flowchart of outputting unqualified test results is provided in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, step S406, outputting a test result indicating that one or more performances of the atomizing device are unqualified according to the charging performance parameter, the heating element state parameter and / or the suction performance parameter, specifically includes the following steps:

[0081] Step S501, determining whether the charging performance parameter deviates from a preset first threshold range;

[0082] Step S502: when the charging performance parameter deviates from the first threshold range, outputting a detection result indicating that the charging performance of the atomizing device is unqualified;

[0083] Step S503, determining whether the state parameter of the heating element deviates from a preset second threshold range;

[0084] Step S504: when the state parameter of the heating element deviates from the second threshold range, outputting a detection result indicating that the state of the heating element of the atomizing device is unqualified;

[0085] Step S505, determining whether the suction performance parameter deviates from a preset third threshold range;

[0086] Step S506: when the suction performance parameter deviates from the third threshold range, output a detection result indicating that the suction performance of the atomization device is unqualified.

[0087] It is understandable that in the design process of an atomizer device, its various performances are expected. By comparing the various performance parameters obtained during the detection process with the expected performance parameter values or parameter ranges, the detection results of whether the various performance parameters deviate from the expected range can be obtained. In this embodiment, when outputting the test results that characterize one or more performances of the atomizer device as unqualified, first, based on the obtained charging performance parameters, heating element state parameters and suction performance parameters, it is determined in turn whether the charging performance, heating element state and suction performance of the atomizer device are qualified, and if unqualified, the test results of unqualified detection are output. Specifically, first, determine whether the charging performance parameters obtained by the detection deviate from the expected first threshold range of the charging performance parameters of the atomization device. If the charging performance parameters deviate from the first threshold range, the charging performance detection result of the atomization device can be determined to be unqualified, and the detection result is output; secondly, determine whether the heating element state parameters obtained by the detection deviate from the expected second threshold range of the heating element state parameters. If the heating element state parameters deviate from the second threshold range, the heating element state detection result of the atomization device can be determined to be unqualified, and the detection result is output; finally, determine whether the suction performance parameters obtained by the detection deviate from the expected third threshold range of the suction performance parameters. If the suction performance parameters deviate from the third threshold range, the suction performance detection result of the atomization device can be determined to be unqualified, and the detection result is output.

[0088] It should be noted that steps S503-S404 and steps S505-S506 may be executed simultaneously or in a sequential order, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0089] In some embodiments, the detection method may further include:

[0090] Step S507: when the test result characterizing one or more performances of the atomizing device is unqualified, output the unqualified test result of the atomizing device and issue an alarm message; wherein the alarm message includes one or more of vibration, light, text, graphics and sound.

[0091] In this embodiment, when the detection result indicating one or more performance of the atomization device is unqualified, an alarm message is sent out. The alarm message includes one or more of vibration, light, text, graphics, and sound. Specifically, the alarm message can be sent to an alarm device to achieve an unqualified alarm. For example, the alarm device can be a buzzer, and the vibration or sound generated by the buzzer is used to achieve an alarm for the detection result that one or more performances of the atomization device are unqualified; the alarm device can also be a plurality of indicator lights of different colors, and according to the detection result of one or more performance detections, the corresponding indicator lights of different colors are controlled to flash or stay on to indicate the unqualified detection result; the alarm device can also be a display screen, and the text or graphics corresponding to the detection result of one or more performance detections are displayed on the display screen to inform the corresponding detection result.

[0092] The detection method for detecting an atomization device provided by an embodiment of the present application is used to detect an atomization device without an atomization matrix. Specifically, first, a charging performance detection is performed on the atomization device to obtain charging performance parameters; when the detection result of the charging performance is qualified, the atomization device is controlled to enter a low-current mode; wherein, in the low-current mode of the atomization device, the electrical parameters of the heating element in the atomization device are less than a first threshold; a heating element state detection is performed on the atomization device to obtain heating element state parameters; a suction performance detection is performed on the atomization device to obtain suction performance parameters. Finally, the detection result can also be output and an alarm can be given according to the obtained performance parameters.

[0093] In summary, the detection system provided by this embodiment first performs a charging performance detection on the atomization device through the charging detection module 110 to obtain charging performance parameters. The processor of the main control module 140 determines whether the obtained charging performance parameters deviate from the preset first threshold range. When it is determined that it deviates from the first threshold range, that is, when the detection result of the charging performance of the atomization device is qualified, the atomization device is controlled to enter the low-current mode, that is, the atomization device is controlled to start working, but only a limited current passes through the heating element therein. While ensuring that its electrical parameters are less than the first threshold, the heating element detection module 120 and the suction detection module 130 are respectively used to detect the heating element state and the suction performance to obtain the heating element state parameters and the suction performance parameters for subsequent analysis and processing.

[0094] It should be noted that the implementation process of the detection system provided by this embodiment is similar to that of the above detection method and has the same technical effect, which will not be elaborated here.

[0095] In some embodiments, the heating element detection module 120 is connected to the atomization device through a heating element detection circuit to obtain the heating element state parameters of the atomization device. The heating element detection circuit can be a part of the detection system or can be built into the atomization device to be detected.

[0096] Figure 6 The following is a circuit diagram of a heating element detection circuit provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 6 shown, the heating element detection circuit provided by this embodiment includes a first connection end and a second connection end connected to both ends of the heating element in the atomizing device, a detection end connected to the heating element detection module 120, and a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a first switching transistor Q1, and a third resistor R3.

[0097] Specifically, the first end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the battery in the atomizing device, and the second end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the first end of the second resistor R2; the second end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the detection end; the control end of the first switching transistor Q1 is connected to the first end of the second resistor R2, the first end of the first switching transistor Q1 is connected to the second end of the first resistor R1, and the second end of the first switching transistor Q1 is connected to the first end of the third resistor R3; the second end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the first connection end.

[0098] More specifically, in this embodiment, the first switching transistor Q1 is a PMOS transistor. The control end of the first switching transistor Q1 specifically refers to the gate of the PMOS transistor, which is connected to the first end of the second resistor R2. The first end of the first switching transistor Q1 specifically refers to the source of the PMOS transistor, which is connected to the second end of the first resistor R1. The second end of the first switching transistor Q1 specifically refers to the drain of the PMOS transistor, which is connected to the first end of the third resistor R3.

[0099] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the first switching transistor Q1 can also be modified to an NMOS transistor or other types of switching transistors according to the circuit design, and this embodiment does not make specific limitations.

[0100] More specifically, after the atomizing device enters the low-current mode, a small voltage is applied across its two ends. That is, under normal circumstances, a tiny current flows through it. The voltage U1 across the two ends of the heating element and the total voltage U2 across the heating element and the third resistor R3 can be collected through the detection end of the above-mentioned heating element detection circuit. Then, the voltage U3 across the third resistor R3 can be calculated as U3 = U2 - U1. Further, according to the "volt-ampere method", the current I in the heating element loop can be calculated, that is, the current I in the third resistor R3 is I = U3 / R3. Taking the third resistor R3 as a reference resistor, which has the same resistance value range as the designed heating element of the atomizing device, the resistance value R of the heating element can be obtained as R = U1 / I.

[0106] In some embodiments, the main control module 140 may also include an acquisition component, a digital-to-analog conversion component, and an analog-to-digital conversion component. Among them, the acquisition component is used to respectively acquire the charging performance parameters, heating element state parameters, and suction performance parameters detected by the charging detection module 110, the heating element detection module 120, and the suction detection module 130. The digital-to-analog conversion component is used to convert the analog signal collected by the acquisition component into a digital signal. For example, in some cases, it is necessary to convert the voltage or resistance obtained by the heating element detection circuit into a digital signal for output analysis; the analog-to-digital conversion component is used to convert the digital signal emitted by the main control module 140 into an analog signal. For example, in some cases, it is necessary to transmit the output alarm signal to the alarm module 160 composed of a buzzer and an indicator light to achieve the alarm effect.

Specifically, after the main control module 140 detects that the atomization device is successfully connected to the detection system through the connection interface of the charging detection module 110, a charging signal is generated and transmitted to the power module 170, and the second power supply is controlled to pre-charge the connected one or more atomization devices to be detected, so as to provide necessary conditions for the subsequent charging detection module 110 to detect the charging performance of the atomization device.

Then, the main control module 140 controls the charging detection module 110, the heating element detection module 120, and the suction detection module 130 to perform corresponding performance detections on the atomizing devices to be detected respectively. Specifically, the charging detection module 110 detects charging performance parameters such as charging current during the charging process.

Finally, the output module 150 can output the performance parameters obtained during the detection process and the detection results corresponding to one or more unqualified performance detections, and can also perform an alarm prompt through the alarm module 160 according to the output unqualified detection results for subsequent analysis and processing.
