Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The atomization device is a new type of atomization product combining a heating body and a treated atomization core. The atomization device heats the heating body to heat the atomization substrate in the atomization core to a certain temperature, so that the atomization substrate generates aerosol after being heated, thereby meeting the use requirements of a user.

[0003] Common starting modes of the atomization device include airflow detection type, mechanical button type and a combination of the two. The airflow detection type is that when a user inhales, the internal airflow flows to a microphone or a silicon microphone to generate a negative pressure, and when the circuit connected to the microphone or the silicon microphone detects the negative pressure, the circuit converts the negative pressure into an electrical signal and transmits the electrical signal to a controller, thereby starting the atomization device. However, the electrical signal generated by the microphone or the silicon microphone is easily disturbed by external factors, and the condensed atomization substrate in the airway may flow back to the microphone or the silicon microphone after being used for many times, which may cause the microphone or the silicon microphone to start automatically or fail to start. The mechanical button type is that a pressure is generated by pressing a button to convert the pressure into an electrical signal for the controller to start the atomization device. However, during transportation or use, the atomization device may be mistakenly triggered due to vibration or extrusion, and even cause a high-temperature fire safety problem.

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

[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an atomizing device provided in one embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the atomizing device provided in this application embodiment includes a housing 10, a mouthpiece 20, a controller 30, and an atomizing core 40.

[0033] In this embodiment, the shell 10 encloses a receiving cavity, the suction nozzle 20, the controller 30 and the atomization core 40 are at least partially received in the receiving cavity, and the receiving cavity also has an air passage for air flow. The controller 30 is in signal connection with the atomization core 40, and the controller 30 can control the atomization core 40 to heat the heating wire therein according to a preset heating curve or a preset output power curve when the atomization device is in a working state, and the atomization substrate in the atomization core 40 is atomized after being heated to form an aerosol which is output to the user through the air passage.

[0034] The atomization device comprises a first induction assembly 101 and a second induction assembly 201, wherein the first induction assembly 101 is arranged on the shell 10 and can generate a first induction signal when being contacted by the user. The second induction assembly 201 is arranged on the suction nozzle 20 and can generate a second induction signal when being contacted by the user.

[0035] The first induction assembly 101 and the second induction assembly 201 are respectively in electrical connection with the controller 30, when the atomization device is in a power-off state, the first induction assembly 101 and the second induction assembly 201 respectively generate the first induction signal and the second induction signal when being contacted by the user and transmit the signals to the controller 30 through the signal connection, and the controller 30 controls the atomization device to enter a working state in response to the received first induction signal and second induction signal; and when the atomization device is in the working state, the controller 30 controls the atomization core 40 to atomize in response to the suction action of the user on the suction nozzle 20.

[0036] As an implementation manner, when the atomization device is in the power-off state, the controller 30 controls the atomization device to enter a standby state in response to the received first induction signal. And when the atomization device enters the standby state, the controller 30 controls the atomization device to enter the working state when the second induction signal is received within a first preset time period.

[0037] It can be understood that when the first induction assembly 101 on the shell 10 is contacted by the user, the controller 30 only receives the first induction signal transmitted by the first induction assembly 101, and the controller 30 will control the atomization device to enter the standby state from the power-off state according to the received first induction signal. At this time, the controller 30 does not receive the second induction signal representing the user contacting the suction nozzle 20, so the controller 30 will not control the atomization core 40 to further atomize and heat. But within the first preset time period after the atomization device enters the standby state, the second induction assembly 201 on the suction nozzle 20 is contacted by the user to generate the second induction signal which is transmitted to the controller 30, and at this time the controller 30 controls the atomization device to enter the working state from the standby state, and then further controls the atomization core 40 to heat and atomize when the user performs the suction action on the suction nozzle 20.

[0038] In this embodiment, the atomization device only has the possibility of starting to enter the working state when both the suction nozzle 20 and the induction assembly on the shell 10 are contacted by the user, that is, the controller 30 of the atomization device only has the possibility of starting when it receives the first induction signal and the second induction signal. When only one of the induction signals is obtained, the atomization device cannot be started, which can effectively reduce the possibility of false triggering. It should be noted that the time relationship of the controller 30 receiving the first induction signal and the second induction signal can be receiving the first induction signal and the second induction signal at the same time, or receiving the first induction signal and the second induction signal in a certain time period without sequence. The controller 30 can be set to control the atomization device to enter the working state in response to the first induction signal and the second induction signal under the condition of meeting the preset condition.

[0039] As an implementation manner, the first induction assembly 101 and the second induction assembly 201 can be capacitive touch sensing elements or resistive touch sensing elements. The capacitive touch sensing element detects touch by sensing the change in capacitance between the human body or other conductors and the sensor. When the human body or other conductors approach or touch the sensor, the capacitance on the surface of the sensor changes, thereby triggering the output of the sensor. The touch position can be quickly and accurately sensed, and multiple-point touch can be supported. There is no mechanical structure, and the sensitivity to surface contamination is relatively low. Generally, it is more durable and stable than some mechanical touch technologies. At the same time, the power consumption of the capacitive touch sensor is generally low when not touched, which helps to save power. The resistive touch sensing element detects touch by sensing the change in resistance when touched. When the human body or other conductors touch the sensor, the resistance distribution inside the sensor changes, thereby triggering the output of the sensor. It has stable performance, is not easily affected by the environment, is easy to produce, has relatively low cost, and most importantly, it is not afraid of dust, oil stains and water vapor, and has stronger adaptability.

[0040] As another implementation manner, the first induction assembly 101 and the second induction assembly 201 can also be piezoresistive touch sensing elements, photoelectric touch sensing elements or piezoelectric touch sensing elements. Compared with touch sensing elements, touch sensing elements are sensors that sense external pressure, vibration, thermal stimulation and other tactile information. By using piezoresistive effect, piezoelectric effect, photoelectric effect and other principles, external tactile information is converted into electrical signals for transmission and processing, which can provide more abundant tactile information and help to achieve more delicate operation and control. Generally, it has high sensitivity and accuracy, and can accurately sense the change of external tactile information. Some touch sensing elements also have good flexibility and durability, and are suitable for various complex environments and application scenarios.

[0041] As an implementation form, the shell 10 of the atomization device is provided with a first button, which can be any one of a physical button, a virtual button or a dial button. The first button can be a power button for starting, can be a plus-minus button for realizing the increase and decrease of concentration, taste and temperature by adjusting output power, voltage or temperature and the like, or can be a function button for realizing specific functions such as switching smoke modes, checking device status (such as battery power, cumulative puffing times and the like), entering a setting interface and the like.

[0042] As an implementation form, the first sensing assembly 101 has at least one sensing electrically conductive sheet, which is built in the first button and in contact with the surface of the first button, and can sense the contact of the user. The sensing electrically conductive sheet can be selected from metal sheets such as copper sheets, aluminum sheets, nickel sheets and the like, or can be a metal conductive wire or a metal mesh structure. The shape or size of the sensing electrically conductive sheet is not limited here. When the user contacts the first button, the sensing electrically conductive sheet can obtain a sensing signal in time and transmit it to the controller 30.

[0043] As an implementation form, the second sensing assembly 201 also has at least one sensing electrically conductive sheet, which can be built in the upper wall surface, the lower wall surface or both the upper wall surface and the lower wall surface of the mouthpiece 20, so as to facilitate the user to hold the mouthpiece with the mouth and touch the sensing electrically conductive sheet. When the user's mouth touches the area where the sensing electrically conductive sheet is located, the sensing electrically conductive sheet obtains a second sensing signal and feeds it back to the controller 30.

[0044] In summary, the atomization device provided in the embodiment can obtain a first sensing signal and a second sensing signal when the sensing assemblies on the shell and the mouthpiece are contacted by the user, and transmit them to the controller of the atomization device through electrical connection; when the atomization device is in an off state, the controller can control the atomization device to enter a working state in response to the reception of the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal, and further control the atomization of the atomization core in the atomization device in response to the puffing action of the user on the mouthpiece, and output aerosol to the user. That is, the controller of the atomization device in the embodiment realizes the start of the atomization device according to the sensing signals obtained by the sensing assemblies, effectively avoids the problems of false triggering of self-starting or failure to start in the traditional starting mode of the existing atomization device, and the atomization device in the embodiment is no longer a single control starting mode. Only when the sensing assemblies on the mouthpiece and the shell are both contacted by the user, the atomization device has the possibility to start and enter a working state, thereby reducing the false triggering caused by the single starting mode, improving the starting reliability and use safety, and at the same time, the touch sensing starting mode is also convenient for the user to operate, and provides a new user experience.

[0045] Figure 2 The structure diagram of the atomization device provided in another embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 4. As shown in FIG. 4, the atomization device comprises a shell 10, a mouthpiece 20 and a controller 30. Figure 2As shown, the atomization device provided in the embodiment further includes a display module 50 in signal connection with the controller 30.

[0046] In the case that the atomization device is in the working state or standby state, the controller 30 is further configured to output state parameter information representing the current state of the atomization device and transmit to the display module 50. The display module 50 displays the state parameter information under the control of the controller 30 according to the obtained state parameter information. The state parameter information includes at least one of the current state, the current remaining oil amount, the current remaining power amount, the output power in the working state, and the charging state. The display module 50 includes a display screen and can be connected with the processor through a serial communication interface or a parallel communication interface to realize data transmission and display and update of the state parameter information of the atomization device.

[0047] As an implementation manner, the controller 30 can also respond to the first instruction from the user input, control the atomization device to enter the menu selection mode, and control the display module 50 to display the menu selection item to realize the human-computer interaction between the user and the atomization device.

[0048] For the human-computer interaction between the user and the atomization device, when the first sensing component 101 is arranged on the first button, when the user contacts and performs the first operation on the first button, the first sensing component 101 can generate the first instruction according to the first operation of the user on the first button and transmit the first instruction to the controller 30, that is, the display module 50 and the first button realize the human-computer interaction between the user and the atomization device.

[0049] As an implementation manner, the display screen of the display module 50 can be a touch screen, when the user contacts the touch screen and performs the second operation on the touch screen, the display module 50 can generate the corresponding second instruction according to the second operation of the user and transmit the second instruction to the controller 30, thereby realizing the human-computer interaction between the user and the atomization device.

[0050] Figure 3 A structural schematic diagram of the atomization device provided in another embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 6, the atomization device provided in the embodiment further includes a power output module 60 and a charging module 70 in signal connection with the controller 30. Figure 3 As shown, the atomization device provided in the embodiment further includes a display module 50 in signal connection with the controller 30.

[0051] In this embodiment, after the controller 30 controls the atomization device to enter the working state in response to the received first sensing signal and second sensing signal, the controller 30 is further configured to control the power output module 60 to output a corresponding heating power to the atomization core 40 according to a preset power output curve in response to the suction action of the user on the suction mouth 20, so as to control the atomization core 40 to atomize. At the same time, the controller 30 acquires the real-time output heating power of the power output module 60 and outputs the current output power of the atomization device to the display module 50 for display, so that the user can intuitively understand the current state and conveniently adjust the state according to the user's preference.

[0052] In practice, the atomization core 40 is provided with a heating body, which is controlled by the controller 30 to heat according to a preset heating curve. After the atomization substrate in the atomization core 40 is heated, it is atomized to form an aerosol for delivery to the user. The atomization core 40 in the atomization device can have multiple types or only one type. The atomization substrate in different types of atomization core 40 has different heating and atomization temperatures, so different heating curves are used for heating different types of atomization core 40. Therefore, in actual application, one or more heating curves are set in advance when the atomization device is shipped. When determining the heating curve of the atomization device, the designer needs to select the reference parameters of the heating body based on a large amount of user suction habit data, so that the heating body can reach the expected temperature performance when controlled to heat. The preset heating curve can be a temperature-time change curve in a temperature-time relationship heating mode, a temperature-time change curve in a temperature-suction number relationship heating mode, or a power output curve based on a temperature-heating power relationship. By outputting different heating power, the resistance value of the heating body is changed to achieve the expected temperature.

[0053] In this embodiment, the charging module 70 of the atomization device has a connection interface connected to an external power source. The controller 30 is configured to control the charging module 70 to charge the battery in the atomization device according to a preset charging strategy when it is detected that the charging module 70 is connected to the external power source through the connection interface. At the same time, the controller 30 also outputs the charging information representing the charging state and parameters to the display module 50 in real time during the charging process of the external power source to the charging module 70, so that the user can understand the current power information.

[0054] In summary, the atomization device provided in this embodiment not only uses touch sensing to control the start of the atomization device, but also transmits the state parameter information representing the current state of the atomization device to the display module 50 based on the data transmission of the controller 30 and each functional module, and displays the state parameter information through the display module 50, thereby providing convenience for the user.
