Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an aerosol generating device capable of repeatedly identifying atomization components. Background Art

[0002] Traditional aerosol generating devices primarily consist of an atomizing assembly and a power supply assembly. The atomizing assembly typically includes a liquid reservoir for storing atomizable medium and an atomizer for heating and atomizing the atomizable medium to form a mist, or aerosol. The power supply assembly provides energy to the atomizer.

[0003] Typically, a conventional aerosol generating device includes a display component that displays product information of the atomizing component when in operation, and calculates and displays the real-time remaining amount of atomizing medium through puff statistics or power statistics, such as puff count statistics or remaining power statistics.

[0004] However, when the user wants to try or replace a new atomizer component, the product information of the new atomizer component cannot be changed in time, or when replacing a previously used atomizer component, the remaining amount of the previous atomizer medium cannot be synchronized, causing the user to misjudge the remaining amount of the atomizer medium, resulting in failure to replace the atomizer component in time, dry burning or other problems due to insufficient atomizer medium, resulting in the atomization failing to achieve the expected effect.

[0057] In one embodiment, an aerosol generating device 100 that can repeatedly identify the atomizing component 200 is as follows Figure 1As shown, it is provided with an atomizing component 200, a power supply component 300, an identification component 500, a detection component 600, a storage component 700 and a control component 800. As an example, the present application mainly provides an aerosol generating device 100 that can repeatedly identify the atomizing component 200. By setting the identification component 500, the information of the atomizing component 200 can be recorded and stored, so as to understand the status of each atomizing component 200 in real time, which helps to replace the atomizing component 200 in time. Among them, the atomizing component 200 can be removed from the aerosol generating device 100 for replacement, and is configured to heat the atomizing medium to generate an aerosol. The power supply component 300 is configured to supply power. The identification component 500 is configured to identify the atomizing component 200. The detection component 600 is configured to detect the atomizing component 200. The storage component 700 includes a volatile memory or a volatile memory. The control component 800 includes but is not limited to a single-chip microcomputer, a microprocessor or an FPGA. It should be noted that in each embodiment of the present application, the atomization component 200, the power supply component 300, the identification component 500, the detection component 600, the storage component 700 and the control component 800 can all be purchased directly on the market or made by yourself. This application does not involve further design of these specific structures, and further examples are given below.

[0058] In each embodiment, the power supply component 300 is conductively connected to the atomizer component 200, the identification component 500, the detection component 600, the storage component 700 and the control component 800, and is configured to supply power. As an example, in this embodiment, the identification component 500, the detection component 600, the storage component 700 and the control component 800 are all arranged on the power supply component 300; the atomizer component 200 is detachably arranged on the power supply component 300. In other embodiments, the identification component 500, the detection component 600, the storage component 700 and the control component 800 can also be all arranged in the power supply component 300. If necessary, the aerosol generating device 100 can also be provided with a shell so that the atomizer component 200, the power supply component 300, the identification component 500, the detection component 600, the storage component 700 and the control component 800 are all located in the shell to provide appropriate protection.

[0059] In each embodiment, the storage component 700 is conductively connected to the identification component 500, the detection component 600, and the control component 800, respectively. In one embodiment, the storage component 700 and the control component 800 are integrally provided. As an example, the storage component 700 can be integrated into the control component 800. In a specific application embodiment, the storage component 700 is configured to store data, which is a conventional technology. The invention of this application mainly lies in the structural design and its connection method design. There is no limitation on how the storage component 700 stores data, nor is there any improvement on the specific product, specific structure, or specific storage method related to the storage component 700.

[0060] In each embodiment, the atomizer assembly 200 is provided with an identification structure 230, and the identification assembly 500 is configured to identify the identification structure 230 when the atomizer assembly 200 is in a state of conductive connection with the power supply assembly 300; the design of the identification structure 230 in the atomizer assembly 200 and the identification of the identification structure 230 by the identification assembly 500 are one of the important invention points of each embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, the identification structure 230 includes at least one of a one-dimensional barcode layer, a two-dimensional graphic layer, a two-dimensional text layer, a three-dimensional code structure, a magnetic stripe tag and an electronic tag. It should be noted that in the present application and its embodiments, the two-dimensional graphic layer does not include a one-dimensional barcode layer, that is, the two-dimensional graphic does not include a one-dimensional barcode. Among them, the two-dimensional graphic layer is provided with a two-dimensional graphic, that is, a plane image, including a two-dimensional code layer or a logo layer or an image layer recognizable by the naked eye; the two-dimensional text layer is provided with two-dimensional text, that is, plane text; the remaining embodiments are similar and will not be described in detail.

[0061] In one embodiment, the identification component 500 is disposed on the power supply component 300; or Figure 1 As shown, the identification component 500 is disposed opposite the identification structure 230. For example, if the identification structure 230 utilizes an electronic tag, the identification component 500 serves as the corresponding electronic tag reader; or, if the identification structure 230 utilizes a QR code layer, the identification component 500 serves as the corresponding QR code reader. The same applies to the remaining embodiments and is not further described. This structural design facilitates rapid and accurate recognition of the identification structure 230 by the identification component 500.

[0062] In one embodiment, Figure 2As shown, the atomizer assembly 200 is further provided with a liquid storage chamber 210 and an atomizer 220. The specific liquid storage chamber 210 and the atomizer 220 can both adopt conventional designs, and the embodiments of the present application do not impose additional restrictions on this. One of the important invention points of the present application is the coordinated design of the identification assembly 500 and the identification structure 230. The atomizer assembly 200 can adopt a traditional atomizer assembly 200. As an example, the atomizer assembly 200 can be purchased directly from the market, or it can be produced and prepared by itself.

[0063] In each embodiment, the detection component 600 is conductively connected to the atomizer component 200, and the detection component 600 is configured to detect the atomizer component 200; the control component 800 is conductively connected to the identification component 500 and the detection component 600, respectively. The detection component 600 can be a sensor, including but not limited to a switch sensor or an airflow sensor, and can also include a counter or calculator, etc.; an airflow sensor is commonly known as a microphone. If an airflow sensor design is adopted, the detection component 600 can be integrated with the airflow sensor used by the atomizer component 200, that is, only one airflow sensor is used. With this design, the current elements of the atomizer component 200 and the remaining amount of atomizing medium can be identified and displayed by the aerosol generating device 100. Regardless of whether the atomizer component 200 is used, it can be output or presented by the control component 800 of the aerosol generating device 100, thereby making the most of the atomizer component 200 while avoiding dry burning or other problems caused by insufficient atomizing medium.

[0064] Exemplarily, the identification structure 230 is configured to identify the characteristic elements and initial state of the atomizer assembly 200 that can be read; the identification component 500 is configured to identify the characteristic elements and the initial state in the identification structure 230 when the atomizer assembly 200 is in a state where a conductive connection is established between the atomizer assembly 200 and the power supply assembly 300; that is, when the atomizer assembly 200 and the power supply assembly 300 are in a state where a conductive connection is established or when a conductive connection is established for the first time, the identification component 500 identifies the characteristic elements and the initial state in the identification structure 230.

[0065] The detection component 600 is conductively connected to the atomizer component 200. As an example, the detection component 600 is configured to detect the current state of the atomizer component 200, and the storage component 700 is configured to store the current state; and the control component 800 is configured to control the operation of the atomizer component 200 according to the current state when the identification component 500 identifies the identification structure 230. Exemplarily, the detection component 600 is configured to detect the current state of the atomizer component 200; including the detection component 600 being configured to detect the current state of the atomizer component 200 when the atomizer component 200 is started, or to detect the current state of the atomizer component 200 at regular intervals, or to detect the current state of the atomizer component 200 in real time according to the signal of the airflow sensor. With such a design, the current elements of the atomizer component 200 and the remaining amount of the atomized medium are easier to identify and display for the aerosol generating device 100.

[0066] As an example, the identification structure 230 is configured to identify the characteristic elements and initial state of the atomizer assembly 200 that can be read; the identification component 500 is configured to identify the characteristic elements and the initial state in the identification structure 230 when the atomizer assembly 200 is initially conductively connected to the power supply assembly 300; and the control component 800 is configured to select the characteristic elements and the initial state or select the characteristic elements and the current state when the identification component 500 identifies the identification structure 230. In one embodiment, the detection component 600 is configured to detect the current state of the atomizer component 200, and the storage component 700 is configured to store the current state; the identification structure 230 is configured to identify the characteristic elements and initial state of the atomizer component 200 that can be read; the recognition component 500 is configured to identify the characteristic elements and the initial state in the identification structure 230 when the atomizer component 200 is initially conductively connected to the power supply component 300; and the control component 800 is configured to select the characteristic elements and the initial state or the characteristic elements and the current state when the recognition component 500 recognizes the identification structure 230; the remaining embodiments are similar and will not be described in detail.

[0067] In one embodiment, Figure 3As shown, the identification structure 230 includes a first identification portion 231 and a second identification portion 232; the first identification portion 231 is configured to identify the characteristic elements of the atomizer assembly 200; the second identification portion 232 is configured to identify the initial state of the atomizer assembly 200; and the detection component 600 is configured to detect the current state of the atomizer assembly 200. Even if the embodiment of the display component 400 is not provided, the above embodiment including the first identification portion 231 and the second identification portion 232 can still be adopted. In a specific application embodiment, two identification portions, namely the first identification portion 231 and the second identification portion 232, can be provided; or they can be combined and provided as one of the identification structures 230; as an example, only one QR code layer can be sprayed or printed on the atomizer assembly 200 as the identification structure 230; or two QR code layers can be sprayed or printed on the atomizer assembly 200 as the first identification portion 231 and the second identification portion 232, respectively. With such a design, some characteristics of the atomizer assembly 200, such as the name and content, are easy to identify and read.

[0068] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the aerosol generating device 100 with a reproducible identification atomization assembly 200 further includes a display assembly 400, which is disposed on or within the power supply assembly 300; the display assembly 400 is electrically connected to the power supply assembly 300 and the control assembly 800. As an example, for an embodiment having a display assembly 400, the display assembly 400, the identification assembly 500, the detection assembly 600, the storage assembly 700, and the control assembly 800 are all disposed on or within the power supply assembly 300.

[0069] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the aerosol generating device 100 with a reproducible identification atomizer assembly 200 further includes a communication assembly 900, which is electrically connected to the power supply assembly 300 and the control assembly 800. In the illustrated embodiment, the communication assembly 900 is electrically connected to the storage assembly 700, that is, indirectly electrically connected to the control assembly 800; in other embodiments, the communication assembly 900 can also be directly electrically connected to the control assembly 800. In this way, the control assembly 800 can conveniently output relevant information through the communication assembly 900.

[0070] For embodiments in which a display assembly 400 is provided, in one embodiment, the control assembly 800 is provided with a selection switch; the control assembly 800 uses the selection switch to select the first identification portion 231 and the second identification portion 232 to be associated with the display assembly 400, or to select the first identification portion 231 and the detection assembly 600 to be associated with the display assembly 400. For embodiments in which a display assembly 400 is not provided but a communication assembly 900 is provided, the control assembly 800 uses the selection switch to select the first identification portion 231 and the second identification portion 232 to be associated with the communication assembly 900, or to select the first identification portion 231 and the detection assembly 600 to be associated with the communication assembly 900. For embodiments in which neither a display assembly 400 nor a communication assembly 900 is provided, the control assembly 800 uses the selection switch to select the first identification portion 231 and the second identification portion 232 to be associated with the output port, or to select the first identification portion 231 and the detection assembly 600 to be associated with the output port. Such a structural design facilitates the selective output of information on the first identification portion 231 and the second identification portion 232, or the output of information on the first identification portion 231 and the detection assembly 600. Such a design, through the cooperation of the two identification portions and the detection assembly 600 with the control assembly 800, further enhances the beneficial technical effects of the following technical problems: after replacing the atomizer assembly 200, the current atomizer assembly 200's own elements and the remaining amount of atomizing medium can be identified and displayed to the aerosol generating device 100. When a partially used atomizer assembly 200 is replaced with another atomizer assembly 200, the control assembly 800 of the aerosol generating device 100 can output information regardless of whether the current atomizer assembly 200 on the aerosol generating device 100 is fully loaded with atomizing medium. Even if a new or used atomizer assembly 200 is replaced multiple times, the remaining amount of atomizing medium therein can be accurately determined, thereby enabling the atomizer assembly 200 to be fully utilized as much as possible while avoiding dry burning or other problems caused by insufficient atomizing medium.

[0071] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the aerosol generating device 100 with a reproducible identification atomization assembly 200 further includes a reminder assembly 910, which is electrically connected to the power supply assembly 300 and the control assembly 800. In one embodiment, the reminder assembly 910 is also electrically connected to the detection assembly 600; this connection can be direct or indirect through the control assembly 800.

[0072] The reminder component 910 can be implemented in a variety of ways. In one embodiment, Figure 7As shown, the reminder component 910 is a sound component 911, which reminds by making a sound. Alternatively, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the reminder component 910 is a light source component 912, which reminds by emitting light. As an example, the light source component 912 can be integrated with the display component 400, that is, the display component 400 is used as the light source component 912. Alternatively, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown, the reminder component 910 is a vibration component 913 that provides reminders by emitting vibrations. In the above embodiment, the reminder component 910 includes one of the sound component 911, the light source component 912, and the vibration component 913. In other embodiments, the reminder component 910 may also include two or all of the sound component 911, the light source component 912, and the vibration component 913.

[0073] Next, the aerosol generating device 100 with the reproducible identification atomizing assembly 200 will be described with reference to specific applications. Figure 1 As shown, it includes: an atomizing component 200, a power supply component 300, an identification component 500, a detection component 600, a storage component 700 and a control component 800; the atomizing component 200 is configured to atomize the atomizing medium stored therein to generate an aerosol; the power supply component 300 is configured to provide power to the atomizing component 200 when the atomizing component 200 is connected to the power supply component 300; the atomizing component 200 is provided with an identification structure 230, and the characteristic elements and initial state of the atomizing component 200 can be identified; the identification component 500 is arranged on the power supply component 300. Component 300, and identifies the identification structure 230 when the atomizer component 200 is electrically connected to the power supply component 300; the detection component 600 is configured to detect the current state of the atomizer component 200; the storage component 700 is configured to store the characteristic elements, initial state and current state; the control component 800 determines whether the identification structure 230 is the first time identified by the identification component 500, and if it is the first time, the state of the atomizer component 200 is output as the initial state, and if it is not the first time, the state of the atomizer component 200 is output as the stored current state. The initial identification can be determined by repeatedly reading the identification structure 230. The specific determination method belongs to traditional technology and is not the invention point of this application. The atomizer component 200 can be provided with a liquid storage chamber 210, an atomizer 220, an airflow sensing device and an airway structure, etc. These are also traditional technologies and are not the invention point of this application. They are omitted here and will not be repeated below.

[0074] As an example, the detection component 600 is configured to detect the current state, including at least one of the remaining number of puffs, the remaining amount of atomized medium, the remaining atomized medium ratio, the remaining puffable time, and the like. Conventionally, this is done by detecting the number of puffs or the puff duration of the current atomizer component 200, and then subtracting the detected value from the total number of puffs or the total puff duration to obtain the remaining number of puffs or the puff duration, and then using a set conversion formula to derive the remaining amount of atomized medium and the remaining atomized medium ratio. Detecting the number of puffs or the puff duration can be accomplished by providing a sensor on the airflow path. The commonly used airflow sensing component can act as a switch to control the output of the atomizer component 200, and can also simultaneously count the number of puffs or the puff duration and transmit it to the control component 800 to determine the remaining value. After completing a puff, the characteristic elements and current state of the atomizer assembly 200 are synchronized. The next time the atomizer assembly 300 is connected and recognized, the previously stored state can be synchronized, avoiding misjudgment of information such as the remaining number of puffs, the remaining amount of atomizing medium, the remaining atomizing medium ratio, and the remaining puffing time, which can lead to dry burning and affect the user experience. Conventionally, this recognition function is often combined with anti-counterfeiting authentication. That is, if the corresponding characteristic elements and initial state cannot be recognized, the atomizer assembly 200 is judged to be non-authentic or non-compatible. Therefore, it can also provide a certain anti-counterfeiting function for the aerosol generating device 100.

[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the aerosol generating device 100 further includes a display component 400, which is disposed on the power supply component 300 to display at least one of the characteristic elements, initial state, and current state of the atomizer component 200. The display component 400 is connected to the control component 800 to display at least one of the characteristic elements and initial state when the control component 800 determines that it is an initial recognition; and to display at least one of the characteristic elements and current state when the control component 800 determines that it is not an initial recognition. As an example, the display component 400 is configured to display at least one of the characteristic elements, initial state, and current state of the atomizer component 200, such as text, code, or image of strawberry flavor, rated power of 12W, total capacity of 2ml, number of puffs remaining 500 puffs, remaining puff time 500s, and remaining atomizing medium ratio. Of course, in general product design, the display component 400 can also display the power level information of the power supply component 300. It is understandable that the display component 400, such as a display screen, has a specific structure and display method that belongs to traditional technology and is not the invention of this application.

[0076] As an example, the identification structure 230 includes at least one of a pattern, text, a one-dimensional barcode, a two-dimensional code, a three-dimensional code, a magnetic stripe tag, and an electronic tag.

[0077] As an example, the characteristic factors include at least one of registration information, production date, place of origin, total capacity of atomized medium, total number of puffs, total puffing time, shelf life, flavor of atomized medium, specific component ratio, resistance value and rated power of the heating component in the atomizer assembly 200, and the like.

[0078] As an example, the current state includes at least one of the information such as the number of remaining puffs of the current atomizing assembly 200, the remaining amount of atomizing medium, the remaining atomizing medium ratio, and the remaining puffable time.

[0079] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the aerosol generating device 100 further includes a communication component 900, and the communication component 900 is connected to the storage component 700, and the storage component 700 can realize data transmission with the outside world through the communication component 900. Mainly considering that product upgrades may cause new products to be unable to be recognized by the old identification component 500, the database of characteristic elements and initial states can be updated and upgraded through the communication component 900. As an example, the communication component 900 includes wireless connections such as Bluetooth, WIFI, infrared, NFC, etc., or it can be a wired method such as an electronic data interface to realize data transmission with external devices. Through data transmission with the outside world such as a mobile phone, computer or specific device, the characteristic elements and corresponding initial states of the atomization component 200 are transmitted or supplemented and upgraded to help effectively enhance and improve its recognition function. It can be understood that the communication component 900 is a data transmission device, and its specific structure and data transmission method belong to traditional technology, which is not the invention point of this application.

[0080] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the aerosol generating device 100 further includes a reminder component 910 for sending a reminder signal when the detection module detects that the current state of the current atomization component 200 is lower than the warning threshold. The signal may be at least one of the sound emitted by the sound component 911, the light displayed by the light source component 912 or the display component 400, and the vibration provided by the vibration component 913.

[0081] This design allows the identification component 500 to identify the identification structure 230, and then the control component 800 to determine whether the identification structure 230 is the first time the identification component 500 has identified it. If it is the first time, the state of the atomizer component 200 is output as the initial state. If it is not the first time, the state of the atomizer component 200 is output as the stored current state. This allows the user to accurately identify the current state of the current atomizer component 200 after exchanging multiple atomizer components 200, thereby effectively preventing the user and the aerosol generating device 100 from misjudging information such as the remaining amount of atomizer medium and the number of remaining puffs, thereby avoiding over-pumping of the atomizer component 200 due to misjudgment, resulting in dry burning, or inhaling aerosol with poor taste due to insufficient atomizer medium.

[0082] It should be noted that other embodiments of the present application also include an aerosol generating device that can implement a repeatable identification of atomization components, which is formed by combining the technical features in the above embodiments.

[0083] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0084] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of patent protection for the present application shall be determined by the appended claims.
