The following specific examples 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 the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0027] Figure 1 The structure schematic diagram of the aerosol generating device provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure. Figure 1 As shown, the aerosol generating device provided by the embodiment includes a shell 10, a suction nozzle 20, an atomization core 30, an induction module 40 and a signal generation module 50.

[0028] In this embodiment, the shell 10 encloses a receiving cavity, and the suction nozzle 20, the atomization core 30 and the signal generation module 50 are at least partially received in the receiving cavity, and the receiving cavity also has an air passage for air flow.

[0029] The induction module 40 at least includes a first induction assembly 401 and a second induction assembly 402. The first induction assembly 401 is arranged at the suction nozzle 20, and is used to generate a first induction signal when contacted by a user. The second induction assembly 402 is arranged at the shell 10, and can be arranged at an inner surface of the shell 10, or can be arranged at a portion of the shell 10 and arranged at an outer surface of the shell 10, i.e., an induction piece of the second induction assembly 402 is arranged at the outer surface. The second induction assembly 402 is used to generate a second induction signal representing an environmental feature of an environment in which the aerosol generating device is located, i.e., after the second induction assembly 402 senses the environmental feature of the environment in which the aerosol generating device is located, a corresponding second induction signal is generated.

[0030] The signal generation module 50 includes a first starter 501 and a gear signal generator 502. The first starter 501 is electrically connected to the first induction assembly 401, and is used to output a starting signal in response to the received first induction signal in the shutdown state, the starting signal being used to start the aerosol generating device to enter a working state.

[0031] It can be understood that when the first induction assembly 401 on the suction nozzle 20 is contacted by a user in the shutdown state of the aerosol generating device, the first induction assembly 401 senses and then generates a first induction signal and transmits it to the first starter 501. At this time, the first starter 501 generates and outputs a starting signal for starting the aerosol generating device in response to receiving the first induction signal, thereby controlling the aerosol generating device to complete starting and be used by the user. It should be noted that the starting signal is used to start the aerosol generating device to enter a working state, which can mean that the aerosol generating device enters a heating state from the shutdown state, i.e., the starting signal can activate the atomization core 30, and a heating component in the atomization core 30 starts to heat and heat an atomization substrate to generate aerosol; or can mean that the aerosol generating device enters a startup state from the shutdown state, and further activates the atomization core 30 to make the heating component in the atomization core 30 start to heat.

[0032] As an implementation, in the shutdown state of the aerosol generating device, the first starter 501 also generates and outputs a wake-up signal for waking up the aerosol generating device in response to receiving the first sensing signal, so as to wake up the aerosol generating device into the standby state; and after the aerosol generating device enters the standby state, the first starter 501 also outputs a starting signal in response to the first sensing signal received again within the first preset time period, so as to control the aerosol generating device to complete starting.

[0033] It can be understood that when the first sensing component 401 on the mouthpiece 20 is touched for the first time by the user, it can be a false touch by the user or other parts of the user except the lips touching the first sensing component 401, thereby generating the first sensing signal. In the above case, the first starter 501 preferentially generates a wake-up signal to control the aerosol generating device to enter the standby state, rather than directly starting to enter the heating state. After the aerosol generating device enters the standby state, when the first sensing component 401 on the mouthpiece 20 is touched for the second time within the first preset time period, it can be indicated that the user has the demand to use the aerosol generating device at this time, and the first starter 501 generates and outputs a starting signal, thereby controlling the aerosol generating device to enter the working state and complete starting. That is, the first sensing component 401 on the mouthpiece 20 is touched at least twice within the first preset time period, so as to realize the starting of the aerosol generating device, effectively reducing the starting of the aerosol generating device caused by false triggering, and improving the reliability and completeness of the use of the aerosol generating device.

[0034] In the embodiment, the gear signal generator 502 is electrically connected with the second sensing component 402, and the gear signal generator 502 is configured to output a gear adjustment signal in response to the received second sensing signal when the aerosol generating device is in the working state. The gear adjustment signal is used to adaptively adjust the output gear of the atomizing core 30 according to the preset correspondence between the environmental characteristics and the output gear.

[0035] It can be understood that after the aerosol generating device enters the working state, the second sensing component 402 can sense the environmental characteristics of the environment in which the aerosol generating device is located, such as the temperature, humidity, air pressure, light intensity, etc. of the environment, at this time the second sensing component 402 will generate and output a second sensing signal representing these environmental characteristics. After receiving the second sensing signal transmitted by the second sensing component 402, the gear signal generator 502 outputs a gear adjustment signal. What needs to be pre-stored in the aerosol generating device is the pre-set correspondence between different environmental characteristic parameters and different output gears. After the gear signal generator 502 outputs the gear adjustment signal, the aerosol generating device will adaptively adjust the output gear of the atomizing core 30 according to the pre-set correspondence between the environmental characteristics and the output gears, to provide a better experience for the user. For example, in a dry and hot environment, the corresponding output gear can provide the user with an ice-cold taste.

[0036] As an implementation manner, the first sensing component 401 includes at least one sensing electrically conductive sheet; the sensing electrically conductive sheet is built-in in the upper wall surface and / or the lower wall surface of the mouthpiece 20, or can also be arranged in the cavity formed inside the mouthpiece 20. The first sensing component 401 is arranged at the mouthpiece 20, and contacts or is pressed by the user's lips to generate a first sensing signal. That is, the sensing electrically conductive sheet can be built-in in the upper wall surface and / or the lower wall surface of the mouthpiece 20, or can be arranged on the upper wall surface and the lower wall surface at the same time, to facilitate the user to hold the mouthpiece 20 with the mouth and touch the sensing. For example, in an implementation manner, when the user's lips hold the mouthpiece 20, the capacitance at the sensing electrically conductive sheet changes, and a first sensing signal is output based on the capacitance change; or the resistance at the sensing electrically conductive sheet changes, and a first sensing signal is output based on the resistance change.

[0037] As an implementation manner, the second sensing component 402 includes at least a temperature and humidity sensor and / or a photosensitive sensor. The temperature and humidity sensor can collect the temperature signal and the humidity signal of the environment through a humidity-sensitive element and a heat-sensitive element, and convert them into a current signal or a voltage signal in a linear relationship with the temperature and humidity through a series of circuit processing, to realize the measurement of the temperature and humidity of the environment. The photosensitive sensor can convert the light signal into an electric signal (such as voltage, current, resistance, etc.) through the sensitivity and conversion ability of the photoelectric device. When the photosensitive sensor is exposed to light, the photoelectric device inside it will absorb light energy and generate a corresponding electric signal. This electric signal can change with the change of light intensity, to realize the measurement and detection of the light signal. Therefore, through the temperature and humidity sensor and / or the photosensitive sensor, at least some environmental characteristics of the environment in which the aerosol generating device is located can be known, and the intensity of the electric signal output by the temperature and humidity sensor and / or the photosensitive sensor can also be determined, to provide a reliable basis for the subsequent adaptive adjustment of the output gear of the atomizing core 30.

[0038] It should be noted that the first sensing assembly 401 and the second sensing assembly 402 can be capacitive touch sensing elements or resistive touch sensing elements. The capacitive touch sensing elements detect 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 of the sensor surface will change, triggering the output of the sensor, which can quickly and accurately sense the touch position and support multi-point touch. There is no mechanical structure, and the sensitivity to surface contamination is relatively low. It is usually more durable and stable than some mechanical touch technology. At the same time, the power consumption of the capacitive touch sensor is usually low when not touched, which helps to save power. The resistive touch sensing elements detect 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 will change, 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 and water vapor, and has stronger adaptability.

[0039] The first sensing assembly 401 and the second sensing assembly 402 can also be piezoresistive tactile sensing elements, photoelectric tactile sensing elements or piezoelectric tactile sensing elements. Compared with touch sensing elements, tactile 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. It usually has high sensitivity and accuracy, and can accurately sense the change of external tactile information. Some tactile sensing elements also have good flexibility and durability, and are suitable for various complex environments and application scenarios.

[0040] In summary, the aerosol generating device provided in the embodiment includes an atomizing core, an induction module, and a signal generating module. The induction module includes a first induction assembly arranged at the mouthpiece and a second induction assembly arranged at the shell. When the first induction assembly is contacted by a user in the off state of the aerosol generating device, a first induction signal can be generated. A first activator in the signal generating module outputs an activation signal for activating the aerosol generating device to enter a working state in response to the first induction signal. Further, in response to a suction action of the user on the mouthpiece, the atomizing core is controlled to atomize and output aerosol to the user. After the aerosol generating device enters the working state, the second induction assembly generates and outputs a second induction signal representing the characteristics of the environment in which the aerosol generating device is located in response to the induction of the environment in which the aerosol generating device is located. A gear signal generator in the signal generating module outputs a gear adjustment signal for adaptively adjusting the output gear of the atomizing core in response to the second induction signal. The aerosol generating device of the embodiment realizes induction triggered activation and adaptive adjustment of the output gear of the atomizing core according to the characteristics of the environment in which the aerosol generating device is located, facilitates user operation, and provides a novel experience for the user.

[0041] Figure 2 The structure schematic diagram of the aerosol generating device provided in another embodiment of the present application is shown. The aerosol generating device provided in the embodiment further includes at least one of a control module 60 and a display module 70 on the basis of any of the above embodiments.

[0042] In the embodiment, the control module 60 is connected with the atomizing core 30 and the signal generating module 50 respectively. The control module 60 can control the atomizing core 30 to heat the heating wire therein according to a preset heating curve or a preset output power curve when the aerosol generating device is in the working state. The atomizing substrate in the atomizing core 30 is atomized after being heated to form aerosol which is output to the user through the air passage.

[0043] The control module 60 is further configured to receive the wake-up signal and / or the activation signal output by the first activator 501 in the signal generating module 50, control the aerosol generating device to enter the standby state and / or the working state, and receive the gear adjustment signal output by the gear signal generator 502 in the signal generating module 50, control the atomizing core 30 to adjust the current output gear to the output gear corresponding to the current environmental characteristics.

[0044] As an implementation manner, the second induction assembly 402 includes at least a temperature and humidity sensor and / or a light-sensitive sensor. The temperature and humidity sensor is configured to output a first environmental signal representing the temperature and humidity of the environment, and the light-sensitive sensor is configured to output a second environmental signal representing the light of the environment.

[0045] The control module 60 is also connected with the second sensing assembly 402 of the sensing module 40, and the control module 60 is further configured to receive the first environmental signal and / or the second environmental signal, and control the display module 70 to output corresponding display information according to the first environmental signal and / or the second environmental signal.

[0046] As an implementation, when the aerosol generating device is in the standby state, the display module 70 can also display the environmental characteristics represented by the first environmental signal and / or the second environmental signal under the control of the control module 60.

[0047] As an implementation, the display information at least includes ice block mode, room temperature mode and fire hot mode corresponding to the first environmental signal, and day mode and night mode corresponding to the second environmental signal; wherein the ice block mode, the room temperature mode and the fire hot mode correspond to different output gears of the atomization core 30 respectively.

[0048] It can be understood that the first environmental signal represents the temperature and humidity of the environment in which the aerosol generating device is located, and the ice block mode, the room temperature mode and the fire hot mode correspond to different temperature and humidity of the environment. For example, when the temperature and humidity of the environment are both high, that is, the environment is dry and hot, the environmental characteristics correspond to the ice block mode, and the output gear of the atomization core 30 can be low, providing the user with an ice-sensation taste. For another example, when the temperature and humidity of the environment are both at room temperature, that is, the environment is suitable, the environmental characteristics correspond to the room temperature mode, and the output gear of the atomization core 30 can be medium, providing the user with a normal taste. For another example, when the temperature and humidity of the environment are both low, that is, the environment is cold and wet, the environmental characteristics correspond to the fire hot mode, and the output gear of the atomization core 30 can be high, providing the user with a strong taste.

[0049] Meanwhile, the second environmental signal represents the light of the environment in which the aerosol generating device is located, and the day mode and the night mode correspond to different light of the environment.

[0050] The control module 60 determines the display information corresponding to the second sensing signal according to the obtained second sensing signal, that is, determines the modes corresponding to the first environmental signal and the second environmental signal respectively, and controls the display module 70 to output corresponding display information.

[0051] As an implementation, the control module 60 is further configured to activate the atomization core 30 to heat when the aerosol generating device is in the standby state and the environmental characteristic parameter represented by the second sensing signal meets the first condition.

[0052] It can be understood that when the aerosol generating device is in the standby state, the second sensing component 402 can sense the environmental characteristics of the environment in which the aerosol generating device is located, such as the temperature, humidity, air pressure, light intensity, etc. of the environment, at this time the second sensing component 402 will generate and output a second sensing signal representing these environmental characteristics. After receiving the second sensing signal, the control module 60 determines whether the environmental characteristic parameters represented by the second sensing signal meet the preset first condition. Only when the environmental characteristic parameters meet the first condition, the control module 60 can control the heating component in the atomization core 30 to heat and generate aerosol. For example, in one scenario, the aerosol generating device is in the user's pocket or bag, but the first sensing component 401 on the mouthpiece 20 is mistakenly touched by the user or pressed by other objects, and the first sensing component 401 generates a first sensing signal. At this time, the user does not need to use the aerosol generating device, and if the aerosol generating device enters the working state and starts heating at this time, it will bring unpredictable consequences. When the aerosol generating device is in the user's pocket or bag, the second sensing component 402 can sense the current environmental characteristics, such as very dim light. In practice, relevant data can be collected, and the first condition is set as the light intensity being greater than a threshold. Only when this condition is met, the control module 60 can control the heating component in the atomization core 30 to heat and generate aerosol.

[0053] As an embodiment, the display module 70 includes a light component and / or a display screen component, and the display form of the display information includes at least one of light, light color and / or pattern.

[0054] For the ice block mode, room temperature mode and hot mode corresponding to different temperature and humidity in the environment, green light, yellow light and red light can be used for display, and the patterns of ice blocks, smiling faces and flames can also be used for display. For the day mode and night mode corresponding to different environmental light, the patterns of the sun and the moon can be used for display. Through different visual effects, the user can experience visual experience while distinguishing the display.

[0055] Figure 3 The schematic diagram displayed by the display module of an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 (a) shows that the temperature and humidity of the environment are high, that is, the environment is dry and hot, at this time the output gear of the atomization core 30 should correspond to the ice block mode, and at this time the display screen component of the display module 70 displays irregularly distributed ice blocks to represent the current ice block mode. Figure 3 (b) shows that the temperature and humidity of the environment are high, that is, the environment is dry and cold, at this time the output gear of the atomization core 30 should correspond to the hot mode, and at this time the display screen component of the display module 70 displays irregularly distributed flames to represent the current hot mode.Figure 3 (c) shows the corresponding day mode when the ambient light is very bright, and the display screen assembly of the display module 70 displays irregularly distributed suns to represent the current day mode. Figure 3 (d) shows the corresponding night mode when the ambient light is insufficient, and the display screen assembly of the display module 70 displays irregularly distributed moons and stars to represent the current night mode.

[0056] As an implementation form, when the aerosol generating device is in the working state or standby state, the control module 60 is further configured to output state parameter information representing the current state of the aerosol generating device and transmit the state parameter information to the display module 70. The display module 70 is configured to acquire the state parameter information output by the control module 60 and display the state parameter information under the control of the control module 60. The state parameter information includes at least one of the current state, the current remaining oil amount, the current remaining power amount, the output gear in the working state, and the charging state.

[0057] Figure 4 The structure schematic diagram of the aerosol generating device provided by another embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 6, the aerosol generating device provided by the embodiment is based on any of the above-mentioned embodiments and further includes at least one of a driving module 80 and a charging module 90 electrically connected to the control module 60. Figure 4

[0058] In the embodiment, the control module 60 is further configured to acquire the current output gear of the atomization core 30 and control the driving module 80 to generate a driving control signal corresponding to the current output gear. The driving control signal is used to control the heating of the heating wire assembly in the atomization core 30 to realize the output of the atomization core 30 according to the corresponding output power.

[0059] In actual application, one or more heating curves can be set in advance when the aerosol generating device is shipped. Different gears can correspond to different heating curves to realize the output of different tastes. When the heating curve of the aerosol generating device is determined, the designer needs to select the reference parameters of the heating assembly based on a large amount of data of user smoking habits. The reference parameters of the heating assembly are determined according to the preset heating curve so that the expected temperature performance can be achieved when the heating of the heating assembly is controlled. The preset heating curve can be a temperature-time change curve in a heating mode based on the temperature-time relationship, a temperature-time change curve in a heating mode based on the temperature-puff number relationship, or a power output curve based on the temperature-heating power relationship. By outputting different heating power, the resistance value of the heating assembly is controlled to achieve the expected temperature.
