Reusable cartridge-type products usually require users to align the electrodes and insert the atomizing device into the power supply device in the correct direction so that the structure of the atomizing device and the power supply device can match for identification. If the atomizing device is inserted in the wrong direction, it may not be recognized or the circuit may be reversed, creating a safety hazard. Users need to perform additional operations to correct it, which is not convenient and affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a power supply device, an atomizing device, and an atomizing apparatus, solving the problem of recognition failure caused by incorrect insertion direction of the atomizing device. The power supply device of this application can be recognized even when installed integrally with the atomizing device at any radial angle, thereby improving the user experience.

[0004] In some embodiments of this application, a power supply device is provided, which is detachably connected to an atomizing device. The atomizing device is equipped with an NFC tag.

The NFC module includes an NFC control component electrically connected to the control circuit and at least one antenna component electrically connected to the NFC control component. The antenna component is disposed on the periphery of the housing. When the power supply device is installed integrally with the atomizing device at any radial angle, the antenna component establishes a communication connection with the NFC tag.

[0005] In some embodiments, the housing has a receiving space for partial or complete insertion of the atomizing device, and the antenna assembly is disposed on the inner wall of the housing. When the atomizing device is inserted into the receiving space at any angle in the radial direction, the antenna assembly establishes a bidirectional communication connection with the NFC tag.

[0006] In some embodiments, the atomizing device has a receiving space for the power supply device to be partially or completely inserted, the antenna assembly is disposed on the outer wall of the housing, and when the power supply device is inserted into the receiving space at any angle in the radial direction, the antenna assembly establishes a bidirectional communication connection with the NFC tag.

[0007] In some embodiments, the antenna assembly is a single unit whose sensing range covers the entire space of the accommodating space; or, the space in the accommodating space not covered by the sensing range of the antenna assembly is smaller than the size of the NFC tag.

[0008] In some embodiments, there are two antenna assemblies, which are disposed on both sides of the accommodating space in any radial direction, such that when the atomizing device and the power supply device are installed as one unit, one of the antenna assemblies establishes a bidirectional communication connection with the NFC tag.

[0009] In some implementations, there are two or more antenna assemblies, which are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the accommodating space, and the space in the accommodating space not covered by the sensing range of two adjacent antenna assemblies is smaller than the size of the NFC tag.

[0010] In some implementations, the control circuit includes an identification module; the identification module is connected to the NFC control component to receive and identify the fogging information of the NFC tag; and / or, the power supply device further includes a display module electrically connected to the identification module, the display module displaying the fogging information; and / or, the power supply device further includes a wireless transmission module disposed within the housing.

[0011] In some implementations, the power supply device further includes a microphone detection module disposed within the housing and electrically connected to the control circuit; the microphone detection module is configured to send monitored suction information to the control circuit, and the control circuit transmits the suction information to the NFC tag module through the antenna assembly to update the usage data stored in the NFC tag.

[0014] According to the power supply device, atomizing device, and atomizing equipment of the above embodiments, when the power supply device is installed as an integral part of the atomizing device at any angle in the radial direction, the antenna assembly establishes a communication connection with the NFC tag. This avoids the need for users to perform additional operations to correct the insertion defects of the atomizing device, which is a requirement of related technologies that use contact verification of the physical structure matching. This enables the atomizing device to be identified without precise alignment, thus improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Similar elements in different embodiments are referred to by related similar element reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, certain operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid obscuring the core parts of the present application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, detailed description of these related operations is not necessary; they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.

[0026] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can be rearranged or adjusted in a manner obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various orders in the specification and drawings are only for the clear description of a particular embodiment and do not imply a necessary order, unless otherwise stated that a particular order must be followed.

[0027] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0028] In this article, the upper and lower arrangement directions are consistent with the airflow direction between the downstream and upstream ends of the airflow channel; the vertical direction is the perpendicular direction parallel to the atomization channel, and the horizontal direction is the horizontal direction perpendicular to the atomization channel; these are only used to distinguish the objects described and have no order or technical meaning.

[0029] In response to the design requirements of existing power supply devices in related technologies, which stipulate that the atomizing device must be inserted in a specific radial direction to establish an effective communication connection with the internal antenna assembly, this application addresses the issue that when the power supply device is installed as an integral part of the atomizing device at any radial angle, the antenna assembly establishes a communication connection with the NFC tag. This avoids the need for verification of the compatibility of the physical structures of the atomizing device and the power supply device in related technologies, such as by setting a mutually cooperating buckle structure on one side of the power supply device and the atomizing device. In cases where the user blindly inserts the device inaccurately, the user needs to perform additional operations to correct the insertion defect of the atomizing device. This allows the atomizing device to be identified without precise alignment, thus improving the user experience.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments of this application, the power supply device 10 is detachably connected to the atomizing device 20. The atomizing device 20 is equipped with an NFC (Near Field Communication) tag 21. The power supply device 10 includes: a housing 11, a control circuit 12 disposed within the housing 11, and an NFC module 13. The NFC module 13 is electrically connected to the control circuit 12. The NFC module 13 includes an NFC control component 131 electrically connected to the control circuit 12, and at least one antenna component 132 electrically connected to the NFC control component 131. The antenna component 132 is disposed on the periphery of the housing 11. When the power supply device 10 is installed as an integral part of the atomizing device 20 at any angle in the radial direction, the antenna component 132 establishes a communication connection with the NFC tag 21.

[0031] It should be noted that the power supply device 10 and the atomizing device 20 are detachably connected. The power supply device 10 is a device that provides power, while the atomizing device 20 is a device that stores the atomizing matrix and includes a heating element. The heating element can heat the atomizing matrix, causing it to atomize and generate an aerosol that can be inhaled.

[0032] In some embodiments, the antenna assembly 132 is a coil antenna with radio frequency transceiver function, made of multiple turns of wire, mainly used to transmit and receive high frequency signals to realize wireless data interaction with the NFC tag in the atomizing device 20.

[0033] In some embodiments, the identification process is as follows: the antenna assembly 132 sends a detection signal, the atomizing device 20 approaches the power supply device 10, the antenna assembly 132 of the power supply device 10 detects the NFC tag 21 on the atomizing device 20 and establishes a communication connection with it. The NFC control assembly 131 reads the information in the NFC tag 21 and transmits this information to the control circuit 12, thereby completing the identification of the atomizing device 20.

[0034] In some embodiments, when the power supply device is installed as an integral part of the atomizing device at any angle in the radial direction, the antenna assembly establishes a communication connection with the NFC tag. This avoids the need for users to perform additional operations to correct the insertion defects of the atomizing device, as required by the prior art. It enables the atomizing device to be identified without precise alignment, thus improving the user experience.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the housing 11 is provided with a receiving space 111 for the atomizing device 20 to be partially or fully inserted, and the antenna assembly 132 is disposed on the inner wall of the housing 11. When the atomizing device 20 is inserted into the receiving space 111 at any angle in the radial direction, the antenna assembly 132 establishes a bidirectional communication connection with the NFC tag 21.

[0036] In some embodiments, the housing 11 has a receiving space 111 for partial insertion of the atomizing device 20, allowing identification without full insertion and enabling a fast bidirectional communication connection between the antenna assembly 132 and the NFC tag 21 on the atomizing device 20. This improves the user experience.

[0037] In some embodiments, the accommodating space 111 may be elliptical, square, or circular in shape, such as... Figure 2 As shown, for example, the accommodating space 111 is elliptical in shape. The shape and size of the accommodating space 111 are adapted to the shape of the atomizing device 20, ensuring that the atomizing device can be accurately inserted and stably placed, reducing shaking and improving stability during use. The antenna assembly 132 is disposed on the inner wall of the housing 11 (e.g., Figure 4As shown in the figure, the NFC tag 21 is affixed to the outer wall of the atomizing device 20. The affixing method can be 3M adhesive, and the specific affixing method can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0038] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the atomizing device 20 is provided with a receiving space 111 into which the power supply device is partially or fully inserted, and the antenna assembly 132 is disposed on the outer wall of the housing 11. When the power supply device 10 is inserted into the receiving space 111 at any angle in the radial direction, the antenna assembly 132 establishes a bidirectional communication connection with the NFC tag 21.

[0039] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the antenna assembly 132 is a single unit whose sensing range covers the entire space of the accommodating space 111; or, the space in the accommodating space 111 not covered by the sensing range of the antenna assembly 132 is smaller than the size of the NFC tag 21.

[0040] As an example: When the atomizing device 20 is inserted into the power supply device 10, within the same circumferential height, the area where the antenna assembly 132 is set is the sensing area, and the area where the antenna assembly 132 is not set is the non-sensing area. To ensure that the NFC tag 21 effectively overlaps with the sensing area, the size of the NFC tag 21 must be larger than the size of the non-sensing area of ​​the antenna assembly 132 at that circumferential height. This ensures that regardless of the insertion angle of the atomizing device, the NFC tag 21 can effectively contact the sensing area of ​​the antenna assembly 132, thereby achieving a stable and reliable communication connection, improving device compatibility and reliability, reducing recognition failures due to improper insertion angles, and enhancing the user experience.

[0041] The shape of the antenna assembly 132 corresponds to the shape of the accommodating space 111, and its shape can be circular, square, elliptical, or other geometric forms suitable for mounting in the accommodating space 111. For example... Figure 4 As shown, as an example, the accommodating space 111 is cylindrical, and the antenna assembly 132 can be designed as a ring and surround the inner wall of the accommodating space 111.

[0042] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, there are two antenna assemblies 132, which are arranged on both sides of the accommodating space 111 in any radial direction. When the atomizing device 20 and the power supply device 10 are installed as one unit, one of the antenna assemblies 132 establishes a bidirectional communication connection with the NFC tag 21. This layout not only ensures the reliability of communication, but also reduces the amount of material used in the antenna assembly 132 through reasonable design, thereby reducing production costs.

[0043] Please see Figure 6In some embodiments, there are two or more antenna components 132, which are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the accommodating space 111, and the space in the accommodating space 111 not covered by the sensing range of two adjacent antenna components 132 is smaller than the size of the NFC tag 21.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, when the accommodating space 111 is elliptical, the antenna assembly 132 can be set on both sides of the major axis of the ellipse, so that no matter what angle the atomizing device 20 is inserted, at least one antenna assembly 132 can establish a stable bidirectional communication connection with the NFC tag 21, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of identification.

[0045] When the accommodating space 111 is square, the antenna assembly 132 can be set on the four side walls of the square to ensure that no matter what angle the atomizing device 20 is inserted, at least one antenna assembly 132 can establish a stable bidirectional communication connection with the NFC tag 21, thereby achieving efficient identification and connection.

[0046] When the accommodating space 111 is circular, the antenna assemblies 132 can be evenly distributed around the circumference of the circular accommodating space 111. The space within the accommodating space 111 where two adjacent antenna assemblies 132 are not covered by the sensing range is smaller than the size of the NFC tag 21. This layout ensures that the atomizing device 20 can be detected by at least one antenna assembly 132 regardless of the angle at which it is inserted, thereby establishing a stable bidirectional communication connection with the NFC tag 21 and ensuring reliable operation of the device.

[0047] Please see Figure 7 In some embodiments, the control circuit 12 includes an identification module 121 (e.g., Figure 7 (As shown); the identification module 121 is connected to the NFC control component 131 to receive and identify the atomization information of the NFC tag 21.

[0048] In some embodiments, the process of the identification module 121 verifying authenticity includes: after the identification module 121 receives information from the NFC tag 21 through the antenna assembly 132, it identifies and verifies the information.

[0049] In some embodiments, the identification module 121 identifies the atomizing device 20 based on a unique identifier (such as a serial number or anti-counterfeiting code) in the NFC tag 21 to verify whether the atomizing device 20 is a legitimate device. If the verification is successful, the identification module 121 will allow the atomizing device to operate normally and transmit the atomization information to the control circuit 12 for further processing. The atomization information includes the flavor of the atomizing medium, the remaining amount, and the number of puffs. By verifying the unique identifier in the NFC tag, the identification module 121 can accurately determine whether the atomizing device 20 is a legitimate device, effectively preventing unauthorized counterfeit products from accessing the device.

[0050] In some embodiments, the power supply device 10 further includes a display module 14 electrically connected to the identification module 121, the display module 14 displaying atomization information; and / or, the power supply device 10 further includes a wireless transmission module 15 disposed within the housing 11.

[0051] It should be noted that the power supply device 10 is equipped with a display module 14 and / or a wireless transmission module 15. If the identification module 121 verifies the device, it indicates that the atomizing device 20 is a legitimate device. The identification module 121 then sends the atomization information to the display module 14 for display, allowing the user to use the atomizing device 20 for inhalation. When the device is legitimate, the display module also displays atomization information, including one or more of the following: atomization medium flavor, remaining atomization medium amount, number of inhalation ports, production date, anti-counterfeiting information, and production batch number. If verification fails, the identification module 121 determines that the atomizing device 20 is an illegitimate device, and a warning message will be displayed on the display module 14, indicating to the user that the atomizing device 20 is illegitimate.

[0052] In some embodiments, the heating method is electrothermal conduction, and the power supply device 10 includes a heating wire and a heating wire control module. When the identification module 121 determines that the atomizing device 20 is an illegal device, the heating wire control module will cut off the power supply to the heating wire, thereby disabling the heating function of the atomizing device 20 and ensuring that the user cannot use the illegal device for inhalation. When the identification module 121 determines that the atomizing device 20 is a legal device, the heating wire control module will turn on the power supply to the heating wire, thereby enabling the heating function of the atomizing device 20 and ensuring that the user can use the atomizing device for inhalation normally.

[0053] In some embodiments, the heating method is electrothermal conduction, the power supply device includes a heating wire control module, and the atomizing device 20 includes a heating wire. When the identification module 121 determines that the atomizing device 20 is an illegal device, the heating wire control module will cut off the power supply to the heating wire, thereby disabling the heating function of the atomizing device 20 and ensuring that the user cannot use the illegal device for inhalation.

[0054] In some embodiments, the heating method is electromagnetic induction heating or air heating, and the power supply device 10 includes a heating wire and a heating wire control module. When the identification module 121 determines that the atomizing device 20 is an illegal device, the heating wire control module will disable the heating function of the heating wire, thereby preventing the atomizing device 20 from having a suction function, ensuring that the user cannot use the illegal device.

[0055] In some embodiments, the power supply device 10 further includes a microphone detection module 16 disposed within the housing 11 and electrically connected to the control circuit 12; the microphone detection module 16 is configured to send monitored suction information to the control circuit 12, and the control circuit 12 transmits the suction information to the NFC tag 21 module through the antenna assembly 132 to update the usage data stored in the NFC tag 21.

[0056] When a user inhales from the atomizing device 20, the microphone detection module 16 detects the inhalation action and records relevant information. When the atomizing device 20 is plugged back into the current power supply 10 or another power supply 10, the control circuit 12 reads the updated usage data and displays the latest atomizing device information through the display module 14, ensuring that the user sees the most up-to-date usage information. Usage data includes the number of inhalation ports, the remaining amount of atomizing medium, and one or more flavors of atomizing medium.

[0057] This application also provides an atomizing device 20, which is detachably connected to the power supply device 10 of any of the above-mentioned devices. The atomizing device 20 includes an NFC tag 21, which establishes a communication connection with the antenna assembly 132 in the power supply device 10.

[0058] In some embodiments, the NFC tag 21 stores a unique identifier (such as a serial number or anti-counterfeiting code). The identification process is as follows: The antenna assembly 132 first sends a detection signal. When the atomizing device 20 approaches the power supply device 10, the antenna assembly 132 detects the NFC tag 21 on the atomizing device 20 and establishes a communication connection with it. Subsequently, the NFC control assembly 131 reads the information in the NFC tag 21, including the unique identifier (such as a serial number or anti-counterfeiting code). The identification module 121 receives and identifies this information to verify whether the atomizing device 20 is a legitimate device. If the verification is successful, the identification module 121 will allow the atomizing device to work normally and transmit the atomization information (such as the flavor of the atomizing medium, the remaining amount, the number of puffs, etc.) to the control circuit 12 for further processing. The control circuit 12 then sends the atomization information to the display module 14 for display, and the user can use the atomizing device 20 for inhalation normally. If verification fails, the identification module 121 determines that the atomizing device 20 is an illegal device. At this time, a warning message will be displayed on the display module 14, informing the user that the atomizing device 20 is illegal, and the heating wire control module will disable the atomizing device 20's inhalation function. By verifying the unique identifier (such as a serial number or anti-counterfeiting code) in the NFC tag 21, the identification module 121 can accurately determine whether the atomizing device 20 is a legitimate device, effectively preventing unauthorized counterfeit products from accessing the device, thereby ensuring user safety.

[0059] In some embodiments, when a user inhales from the atomizing device 20, the microphone detection module 16 detects the inhalation action and records relevant information, such as the number of inhalations and the amount of remaining atomizing medium. The microphone detection module 16 sends this detected inhalation information to the control circuit 12. The control circuit 12 sends the inhalation information to the NFC tag 21 module via the antenna assembly 132 to update the usage data stored in the NFC tag 21. When the atomizing device 20 is plugged back into the current power supply 10 or another power supply, the control circuit 12 reads the updated usage data and displays the latest atomizing device information via the display module 14, ensuring that the user sees the latest usage information. The atomization information includes one or more of the following: atomization medium flavor, remaining atomization medium amount, number of inhalation ports of the atomizing device, production date, anti-counterfeiting information, and production batch number. The microphone detection module 16 monitors and records information related to the inhalation action (such as the number of inhalation ports and the remaining atomization medium amount) and updates it to the NFC tag 21 in real time. This ensures that the user can see the latest atomizing device information through the display module 14 every time the power supply device is plugged in, improving the transparency and convenience of use.

[0060] This application also provides an atomizing device, including the aforementioned power supply device 10 and the aforementioned atomizing device 20, wherein the power supply device 10 and the atomizing device 20 are detachably connected and together constitute the atomizing device.

[0061] The above examples illustrate the technical solution of this application only to aid in understanding its content and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art to which this application pertains can make several simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the ideas presented in this application.
