DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this present application clearer, the following will provide a clear and complete description based on the technical solutions in the embodiments of this present application. It is evident that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this present application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making inventive efforts fall within the scope of protection of this present application.

[0020] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a method for accomplishing child lock of e-cigarette is provided, which can be applied to the structure shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, including the following steps: Step S10: Detecting a total duration T of an action with three consecutive inhalations, a suction force P of each inhalation action in the action, a pulse width S of each inhalation pulse in the action, and a pulse width interval G between adjacent inhalation pulses in the action; Step S20: Determining whether the total duration T, the suction force P of any single suction, the pulse width S of any single suction, and the pulse width interval G between adjacent suction pulses simultaneously meet their preset conditions; Step S30: Generating an unlock signal or a lock signal when the above-mentioned suction action parameters T, P, S and G meet their preset conditions.

[0021] This present application detects the total duration T of an action with three consecutive inhalations, the suction force P of each inhalation in an action with three consecutive inhalations, the pulse width S of each inhalation pulse in an action with three consecutive inhalations, and the pulse width interval G between adjacent inhalation pulses. When all four inhalation parameters meet their respective preset conditions simultaneously, it generates an e-cigarette unlock signal or a lock signal; if only one, two, or three of these conditions are met, no unlock or lock signal is generated. This special unlocking / locking control logic is based on the inventor's extensive product development experience in the e-cigarette field and understanding of the usage habits of specific user groups.

[0022] The use of this present application as a child lock for e-cigarettes increases the difficulty of unlocking or locking e-cigarettes, and is more in line with the usage habits of adults, avoiding the safety risks caused by minors' misuse of e-cigarettes.

[0023] Among them, the above preset conditions can be specific data values that are pre-set and written into the e-cigarette program in advance or realized through circuit units.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 2, the total duration of the action is T, and the suction forces for each of the action are P1, P2, and P3, respectively; the pulse widths of each inhalation pulse in the action are S1, S2, and S3, respectively; and the pulse width intervals between adjacent inhalation pulses in the action are G1 and G2, respectively.

[0025] When the above total duration T, the suction force P of any single inhalation and the pulse width S of any single inhalation simultaneously meet the corresponding conditions (1), (2), (3) and (4), an e-cigarette unlock signal or a lock signal is generated: Condition (1): The total duration T satisfies: T≥1 s, of course, T can also be T≥1 s, T≥1.2 s, T≥1.3 s, T≥1.4 s, T≥1.5 s, T≥1.6 s, T≥1.7 s, T≥1.8 s, etc.; Condition (2): The suction P of any single inhalation satisfies: P≥400 pa, that is, P1≥400 pa, P2≥400 pa, P3≥400 pa, but the value of P can also be greater than the normal smoking suction, such as P≥350 pa, or P≥450 pa; Condition (3): The pulse width S of any single inhalation satisfies: S≥200 ms, that is, S1≥200 ms, S2≥200 ms, S3≥200 ms, of course, it can also be S≥210 ms, S≥220 ms, S≥230 ms, S≥240 ms, S≥250 ms, etc.; Condition (4): The pulse width interval G between any adjacent suction pulses satisfies: G≥200 ms, that is, G1≥200 ms and G2≥200 ms.
