[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0027] It should be understood that, and also noted, in the embodiments, the functions / actions may appear in a different order than those shown in the figures. For example, depending on the functions / actions involved, they may actually be performed substantially concurrently, or sometimes the two figures shown consecutively may be performed in reverse order.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an electronic cigarette based on resistance identification of different flavor cartridges in this embodiment includes a main unit and a cartridge unit. The main unit and the cartridge unit can be separated, and can also be assembled and used by connecting three pins of the main unit with three conductive pins of the cartridge unit.
[0029] The main unit includes a lithium battery, an ADC voltage detection circuit, a microcontroller, an auxiliary resistor, a spring pin, a display screen, a charging circuit, and a heating wire drive circuit.
[0030] The ADC voltage detection circuit connects to the identification resistor in the cartridge section and outputs a detection voltage. The microcontroller identifies different flavor cartridges based on the detection voltage from the ADC circuit and outputs corresponding matching parameters. The display screen shows the battery percentage, displays different error alarms, and shows the serial number of the identified cartridge. The contact pins connect to the cartridge section; two of the three contact pins transmit the power required by the heating wire, and the third pin receives the voltage identified by the cartridge. The charging circuit charges the lithium battery.
[0031] The cartridge consists of a heating wire, a recognition resistor, and conductive pins. The recognition resistor and an auxiliary resistor form a voltage divider circuit, with different resistance values corresponding to different flavored e-liquids. The heating wire converts electrical energy into the heat energy needed for atomization. The conductive pins connect one-to-one with the contact points on the main unit.
