[0002] The heating temperature consistency of existing heated non-combustible aerosol generators is greatly affected by external factors during use. In order to ensure the consistency of the inhalation taste of different aerosol generators, the temperature generally needs to be calibrated before the product is put into use.

[0003] The common calibration method involves setting the temperature control button on each aerosol generator to a certain temperature, then using a handheld infrared instrument to measure the temperature of the heating element, and adjusting the temperature based on the measured temperature until the target temperature is reached. This manual calibration method is cumbersome, unsuitable for mass production, and prone to errors, resulting in low efficiency and poor calibration results. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of the application. Similarly, the following embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present application, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0030] The reference to "embodiment" in this application means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this application can be combined with other embodiments.

[0031] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the aerosol generator and the aerosol generating article in some embodiments of this application. The aerosol generator 100 can be a decentralized structure, without a heating element, but with a heating chamber 1001, and can heat the aerosol generating article 200 placed in the heating chamber 1001 by magnetic field excitation.

[0033] In some embodiments, the aerosol generator 100 may have an electromagnetic coil 101 to generate a magnetic field when energized. The aerosol generating article 200 may have a heating element 201, which is positioned within the electromagnetic coil 101 when the aerosol generating article 200 is inserted into the aerosol generator 100, for example, the heating chamber 1001, such that the heating element 201 cooperates with the electromagnetic coil 101, and the electromagnetic coil 101 magnetically excites the heating element 201 to generate heat, thereby heating the aerosol generating matrix within the aerosol generating article 200 to generate aerosols.

[0034] It is understandable that the aerosol generating product 200 may have an aerosol generating matrix and a built-in heating element 201 during manufacturing.

[0035] An aerosol generating matrix is ​​a material used to generate aerosols, and typically consists of at least one chemical substance capable of producing aerosols. The aerosol generating matrix can be activated by heating to form aerosols.

[0036] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating matrix may include plant-based substances containing volatile plant-based aroma components, and may also include non-plant-based substances. For example, the aerosol generating matrix may include water, solvents, ethanol, plant extracts, fragrances, flavorings, or vitamin mixtures.

[0037] During use, the temperature consistency of the aerosol generator 100, heated by the electromagnetic coil 101, affects the consistency of the inhalation taste. Therefore, the temperature needs to be calibrated before the aerosol generator 100 is put into use to ensure the consistency of the inhalation taste.

[0038] The following describes a temperature calibration system that can calibrate the temperature of aerosol generator 100 or other aerosol generators of different types and / or structures and / or principles than aerosol generator 100, ensuring the consistency of the vaping experience.

[0039] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the temperature calibration system in some embodiments of this application. The temperature calibration system 300 may include a temperature calibration fixture 301 and a temperature detection circuit 302 for detecting the temperature of the temperature calibration fixture 301. The temperature calibration fixture 301 can be applied to the aerosol generator 100 or other aerosol generators of different types and / or structures and / or principles than the aerosol generator 100, and can be reused to complete temperature calibration.

[0040] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of the temperature calibration fixture 301 and the aerosol generator 100 in some embodiments of this application. The temperature calibration fixture 301 can be modeled after the aerosol generating article 200, and may or may not include an aerosol generating matrix. Like the aerosol generating article 200, the temperature calibration fixture 301 can be at least partially placed within the aerosol generator 100, for example, the heating chamber 1001, and heated by the aerosol generator 100. The temperature detection circuit 302 can detect the temperature of the temperature calibration fixture 301 and generate temperature data. The temperature data reflects whether the aerosol generator 100 meets the temperature consistency index, and thus, when the aerosol generator 100 does not meet the temperature consistency index, the temperature of the aerosol generator 100 can be calibrated to ensure the consistency of the inhalation experience.

[0041] In some embodiments, the temperature calibration fixture 301 can be modeled after the aerosol generating product 200 at a 1:1 ratio. Of course, the structure, shape, material, or size of the temperature calibration fixture 301 may also be different from the aerosol generating product 200, or even the same as the aerosol generating product 200.

[0042] Please see Figure 3 A heating element 10 may be disposed within the temperature calibration fixture 301. When the temperature calibration fixture 301 is inserted into the aerosol generator 100, for example, the heating chamber 1001, the temperature calibration fixture 301 may be located within the electromagnetic coil 101, so that the heating element 10 cooperates with the electromagnetic coil 101, and the electromagnetic coil 101 excites the heating element 10 with a magnetic field, causing the heating element 10 to generate heat. In some embodiments, when the temperature calibration fixture 301 is inserted into the aerosol generator 100, for example, the heating chamber 1001, the heating element 10 may be located within the electromagnetic coil 101.

[0043] In some embodiments, the corresponding position of the heating element 10 in the temperature calibration fixture 301 is the same as the corresponding position of the heating element 201 in the aerosol generating article 200, thereby reducing temperature measurement error. Of course, the corresponding positions may not be the same if the temperature measurement error is kept low.

[0044] In some embodiments, the heating element 10 and the heating element 201 may be the same in structure, shape, material or size to reduce temperature measurement error. Of course, they may also be different in structure, shape, material or size while ensuring that the temperature measurement error is low.

[0045] Please see Figure 2 The temperature detection circuit 302 can be a circuit that converts the temperature of the heating element 10 into a measurable electrical signal, and may include a temperature sensor, a signal conditioning circuit (amplification, filtering, etc.), an analog-to-digital conversion circuit, and a data processing unit (analog-to-digital conversion, etc.). In some embodiments, the data processing unit may be a device or apparatus known to those skilled in the art, such as a microcontroller, mobile phone, computer, or industrial control computer, capable of data processing, to collect, process, and / or display and output temperature data.

[0046] It is understandable that the specific design of the temperature detection circuit 302 is not limited to this, and may also include technical solutions well known to those skilled in the art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0047] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the temperature calibration fixture 301 in some embodiments of this application. Figure 5 for Figure 4 The illustrated embodiment shows an exploded view of the temperature calibration fixture 301 in some embodiments. The temperature calibration fixture 301 may include a heating element 10, a contoured member 20, and a thermistor 30. The heating element 10 may be a metal component or other material that can be excited by a magnetic field, and will not be described in detail. The contoured member 20, as the main structure of the temperature calibration fixture 301, may be the outer shape of the temperature calibration fixture 301. The contoured member 20 may be inserted into an aerosol generator 100, such as a heating chamber 1001. The contoured member 20 can be used to support structures such as the heating element 10 and the thermistor 30 mounted in the temperature calibration fixture 301. The heating element 10 may be disposed within the contoured member 20 and can generate heat under the magnetic field excitation generated by the aerosol generator 100, such as an electromagnetic coil 101. The thermistor 30 may be thermally connected to the heating element 10 and extend to the outside of the contoured member 20, connecting to a temperature detection circuit 302 to realize temperature detection. In some embodiments, the thermistor 30 may be a temperature sensor as described in the above embodiments.

[0048] In some embodiments, the profile 20 refers to a component that mimics the shape of the aerosol-generated article 200.

[0049] The profile 20 can be made of a hard material and can resist the temperature of the heating element 10, reducing the degree of damage when the heating element 10 is heated.

[0050] In some embodiments, the size of the profile 20 may be smaller than the size of the aerosol-generating article 200. For example, the diameter of the aerosol-generating article 200 is 7.2 mm, while the size of the profile 20 is slightly smaller than 7.2 mm. This facilitates the insertion and removal of the profile 20 when it is made of a rigid material.

[0051] In some embodiments, the contouring member 20 may include a first sub-contouring member 21 and a second sub-contouring member 22 that are assembled and fixed to each other. The first sub-contouring member 21 and the second sub-contouring member 22 cooperate to be in an assembled state, thereby enabling the installation of the heating element 10 and the thermal component 30.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22 are detachably connected by screwing, bonding, snapping, plugging or other technical solutions known to those skilled in the art.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22 can slide and engage along the length direction of the shaping member 20, for example, the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22, to achieve connection. In a further embodiment, as the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22 slide relative to each other, the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22 can be inserted and engaged with each other to achieve a detachable connection.

[0054] The first sub-shaping component 21 can be made of a hard material and can resist the temperature of the heating element 10, reducing the degree of damage when the heating element 10 is heated.

[0055] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 6 for Figure 5 An exploded view of the temperature calibration fixture 301 in the illustrated embodiment from another perspective. Figure 7 for Figure 5 An exploded view of the temperature calibration fixture 301 in the illustrated embodiment from another perspective. Figure 8 for Figure 5 The illustrated embodiment shows a schematic diagram of the structure when the first sub-shaping member 21 mates with the heating element 10 and the thermistor component 30. The first sub-shaping member 21 may have a first mating surface 2101 to abut against or be disposed opposite to the second sub-shaping member 22 in the assembled state. In some embodiments, the first mating surface 2101 can be used to support the heating element 10 and / or the thermistor component 30. Furthermore, in a further embodiment, the first sub-shaping member 21 may mate with the second sub-shaping member 22 at the first mating surface 2101 to clamp and fix the heating element 10 and / or the thermistor component 30.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first sub-shaping member 21 may have a first end 211 and a second end 212 spaced apart along the length direction of the shaping member 20, such as the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22. In some embodiments, the second sub-shaping member 22 may slide from the second end 212 of the first sub-shaping member 21 to the first end 211 along the length direction of the shaping member 20, such as the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22, and be assembled and fixed to each other with the first sub-shaping member 21. In some embodiments, when the first mating surface 2101 abuts against or is disposed opposite to the second sub-shaping member 22, the second sub-shaping member 22 may slide along the length direction of the shaping member 20, such as the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22, to the first end 211 and be assembled and fixed to each other with the first sub-shaping member 21. In some embodiments, the second sub-shaping member 22 can slide from the second end 212 to the first end 211 along the length direction of the shaping member 20, such as the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22, and engage with the first sub-shaping member 21. In some embodiments, when the first mating surface 2101 abuts against or is disposed opposite to the second sub-shaping member 22, the second sub-shaping member 22 can slide along the length direction of the shaping member 20, such as the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22, to the first end 211 and engage with the first sub-shaping member 21.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first end 211 of the first sub-shaping member 21 may be provided with a first mounting portion 2111 for assembly and fixation with the second sub-shaping member 22. In some embodiments, the first mounting portion 2111 may be inserted into the second sub-shaping member 22. In some embodiments, when the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22 are slidably engaged along the length direction of the shaping member 20, for example, the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22, the first mounting portion 2111 and the second sub-shaping member 22 may be assembled and fixed to each other as the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22 slide relative to each other. In some embodiments, when the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22 are slidably engaged along the length direction of the shaping member 20, for example, the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22, the first mounting portion 2111 and the second sub-shaping member 22 may be inserted into each other as the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22 slide relative to each other.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first assembly portion 2111 may be provided with an insertion block 2112 protruding toward the second end 212 of the first sub-shaping member 21. The insertion block 2112 may be spaced apart from the first mating surface 2101 to form a first insertion groove 2001. Furthermore, when the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22 are assembled and fixed together, the second sub-shaping member 22 may be partially inserted into the first insertion groove 2001, achieving a mating engagement between the first end 211 of the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22, thus limiting their mutual positioning in the radial direction of the shaping member 20. Alternatively, the insertion block 2112 may be inserted into the second sub-shaping member 22.

[0059] In some embodiments, the insertion block 2112 may include a first sub-insertion block 2113 and a second sub-insertion block 2114. In some embodiments, the first sub-insertion block 2113 may be spaced apart from the first mating surface 2101 such that the first insertion slot 2001 is located between the first sub-insertion block 2113 and the first mating surface 2101. In some embodiments, the second sub-insertion block 2114 may be T-shaped connected to the first sub-insertion block 2113 and extend toward the first mating surface 2101 to achieve mutual limiting in the radial direction of the contour member 20 when the first end 211 of the first contour member 21 is inserted and engaged with the second contour member 22. In some embodiments, the second sub-insertion block 2114 may extend toward the first mating surface 2101 to be formed on the first mating surface 2101. In some embodiments, the second sub-insertion block 2114 may extend toward the first mating surface 2101 to be spaced apart from the first mating surface 2101, such that the first insertion slot 2001 is located between the second sub-insertion block 2114 and the first mating surface 2101.

[0060] In some embodiments, the second end 212 of the first sub-shaping member 21 may be assembled and fixed with the second sub-shaping member 22. In some embodiments, the second end 212 of the first sub-shaping member 21 may be inserted into the second sub-shaping member 22. In some embodiments, when the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22 are slidably engaged along the length direction of the shaping member 20, for example, the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22, the second end 212 of the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22 may be inserted into each other as the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22 slide relative to each other.

[0061] In some embodiments, the second end 212 of the first sub-shaping member 21 may be provided with a connecting post 2121. This allows the connecting post 2121 to be inserted into the second sub-shaping member 22 when the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22 are assembled and fixed together, achieving a mating engagement between the first end 211 of the first sub-shaping member 21 and the second sub-shaping member 22, and also achieving mutual positioning of the shaping members 20 in the radial direction. Alternatively, the second end 212 of the first sub-shaping member 21 may be partially inserted into the second sub-shaping member 22. In some embodiments, there may be two connecting posts 2121 spaced apart, or even more.

[0062] In some embodiments, a limiting groove 2002 may be provided on the first matching surface 2101 to accommodate the heating element 10, so that the heating element 10 can be submerged in the limiting groove 2002. In some embodiments, the bottom of the limiting groove 2002 may be disposed opposite to the heating element 10 to reduce the influence of the first sub-shaping member 21 on the temperature of the heating element 10 and improve the temperature detection accuracy. In some embodiments, the sidewall of the limiting groove 2002 may abut and limit or connect and fix the edge of the heating element 10, so that the bottom of the limiting groove 2002 is disposed opposite to the heating element 10. In some embodiments, the groove wall of the limiting groove 2002, such as the sidewall or the bottom, protrudes and is provided with a plurality of support blocks 213 to support the heating element 10 on the plurality of support blocks 213, so that the bottom of the limiting groove 2002 is disposed opposite to the heating element 10. In some embodiments, the plurality of support blocks 213 may be spaced apart from each other along the circumference of the limiting groove 2002 to achieve stable support for the heating element 10.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first mating surface 2101 may be provided with a first guide mechanism 214 extending along the length direction of the contouring member 20, such as the first sub-contouring member 21 and the second sub-contouring member 22. The first guide mechanism 214 may cooperate with the second sub-contouring member 22 to limit the sliding direction of the first sub-contouring member 21 and the second sub-contouring member 22. In some embodiments, the first guide mechanism 214 may include a guide protrusion 2141 to cooperate with the second sub-contouring member 22 to limit the sliding direction of the first sub-contouring member 21 and the second sub-contouring member 22.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first mating surface 2101 may be provided with a first lead-out groove 2003 extending along the length direction of the contouring member 20, such as the first sub-contouring member 21 and the second sub-contouring member 22, to accommodate the thermal component 30. When the first sub-contouring member 21 and the second sub-contouring member 22 are engaged, a lead-out channel 3001 may be formed at the first lead-out groove 2003 to allow the thermal component 30 to extend to the outside of the contouring member 20, thereby connecting the thermal component 30 to the temperature detection circuit 302. In some embodiments, the first guide mechanism 214 is in two sets and may be provided on both sides of the lead-out channel 3001.
