Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This application claims priority to a Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on March 17, 2022, bearing application number 202210263803.0, and entitled "Method, device and electronic device for impedance matching of high-frequency heating smoking device", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of high frequency heating, and in particular to an impedance matching method, device and electronic device for a high frequency heating smoking device. [Background technology]

[0003] Non-combustion heated tobacco mainly uses an electric heating method, and the electric heating device is heated by a heating body and the heat is transferred to the tobacco body, so there is a problem that the tobacco is not heated enough or too hot. Therefore, there is currently a tobacco device that uses high frequency electric field heating, which significantly reduces the possibility of unnecessary overheating or burning of the outer surface and the risk of only partially heating the inner part of the heated material. The tobacco material body inserted into the smoking device is directly heated without the need to transfer heat from the outside to the inside through a temperature gradient after the surface is heated, so that the possibility of unnecessary overheating of the surface and even burning is significantly reduced. In addition, high frequency heating uses a long wavelength, so the object is heated more uniformly.

[0004] However, since the non-combustion heated cigarette is placed between two plates in the device, when a corresponding high-frequency power is applied between the two electrodes, the high-frequency power source and the tobacco load respectively form a resonant circuit. The resonant impedance characteristics of the tobacco load depend on the physical properties of the non-combustion heated cigarette, and different non-combustion heated cigarettes have different impedances, so that in the actual use process, the impedances of the two resonant circuits formed by the high-frequency power source and the tobacco load of the smoking device are not matched, and the smoking device cannot achieve optimal power usage efficiency.

For example, the methods described may be performed in a different order than described, and various steps may be added, omitted or combined. Also, features related to some example descriptions may be combined with other examples.

[0021] Referring to Figure 1, Figure 1 is a flow diagram of an impedance matching method for a high-frequency heating smoking device provided in an embodiment of the present application. In an embodiment of the present application, the method includes the following steps: S101: When it is detected that a target cigarette is inserted, parameter information of a high frequency power source is obtained.

[0022] The implementation body of the present application may be a controller in a radio frequency heating smoking device.

[0023] In the embodiment of the present application, the high frequency heating smoking device generates an AC current by a built-in high frequency power source, which acts on the electrodes of the smoking device to generate an electric field between the electrodes, and further heats the tobacco inserted between the electrodes. Therefore, the controller first monitors the gap between the electrodes, and when it detects that the target tobacco is inserted between the electrodes, it is considered that the smoking device has already started or will soon start the heating operation. In order to calculate the impedance matching, the controller first obtains parameter information of the high frequency power source, and based on this, determines parameter data such as the output AC frequency and rated voltage of the high frequency power source.

[0024] In one possible embodiment, step S101 includes the steps of: receiving a first control command and activating a radio frequency power source of the smoking article in response to the first control command; controlling the generation of an electric field of a first electric field strength between the plates and monitoring a real-time electric field strength between the plates; if the real-time electric field strength is less than the first electric field strength, determining that a target cigarette has been inserted, and obtaining parameter information of the high frequency power source.

[0025] In the embodiment of the present application, when the smoking tool is not in use, it is in an off state, and when the user clicks the activation button on the smoking tool, the controller receives a first control command. In response to the first control command, the controller can realize the activation of the high frequency power source in the smoking tool, and further activate the smoking tool. After the smoking tool is activated, the controller controls the generation of an electric field with a first electric field strength between the electrodes, and at this time, the electric field is very weak and is mainly used for detecting cigarette insertion. When the target cigarette is inserted between the electrodes, the target cigarette will absorb some of the electric field energy, so that the real-time electric field strength between the electrodes will be significantly weak, and therefore the controller will use it as a standard to determine the insertion of the target cigarette.

[0026] S102: Controlling the high frequency power source to transmit a predetermined measurement current to an electrode plate, calculating a measured operating power corresponding to the predetermined measurement current based on the parameter information, and determining a load impedance of the target cigarette based on the measured operating power.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present application, since non-combustion heated cigarettes are generally manufactured by compounding various kinds of tobacco or essences and flavors, it is difficult to directly determine the resonant load characteristics of the cigarette load based on the physical characteristics of the non-combustion heated cigarette, and it is also difficult to determine the load impedance of the target cigarette. Specifically, after determining that the target cigarette is inserted, the controller controls the high frequency power source to generate a predetermined measurement current, and the predetermined measurement current is set small and is mainly used for measurement calculation, to avoid the target cigarette being heated too early due to the current being too large. After passing the predetermined measurement current, the controller realizes the calculation of the measured working power of the plate based on the magnitude of the predetermined measurement current and the parameter information of the high frequency power source. In addition, for the capacitor of the plate, the measured working power is further related to the load impedance, so that the load impedance of the target cigarette can be determined after determining the measured working power.

[0028] In one possible embodiment, the parameter information includes a rated voltage; the steps of controlling the high frequency power source to transmit a predetermined measurement current to a plate, calculating a measured operating power corresponding to the predetermined measurement current based on the parameter information, and determining a load impedance of the target cigarette based on the measured operating power; controlling the high frequency power supply to transmit a predetermined measurement current to a plate and calculating a measured operating power based on the predetermined measurement current and a rated voltage; determining a load impedance of the target cigarette based on the measured operating power and the rated voltage.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present application, for the high frequency power source, its rated voltage is determined, and according to Thevenin's theorem, the voltage on the plate can be considered as determined. Therefore, the measured working power can be determined based on the product of the predetermined measured current and the rated voltage. In addition, the space between the plates can be considered as a capacitor, and for the capacitor, the measured working power can be further calculated from the product of the square of the voltage and the impedance. Therefore, after determining the measured working power, the load impedance of the target cigarette can be further calculated.

[0030] In one possible embodiment, when it is detected that a target cigarette is inserted, after the step of obtaining parameter information of the high frequency generator, The method further includes the step of initializing the AC frequency.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present application, in order to simplify the calculation process for the load impedance each time and improve the efficiency of data processing, the controller initializes the AC frequency after each target cigarette is inserted, thereby eliminating the influence of adjustments to the AC frequency during the heating process of the previously inserted cigarette.

[0032] S103: If the load impedance does not match the power source impedance of the high frequency power source, adjustment information is generated based on the load impedance, thereby adjusting the AC frequency of the high frequency power source until the load impedance matches the power source impedance.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, the power source impedance of the high frequency power source itself is constant, and the load impedance needs to be adjusted to match the load impedance with the power source impedance of the high frequency power source. Since the load impedance and the AC frequency have a negative correlation, when the load impedance is determined, the load impedance can be adjusted by adjusting the frequency of the AC current output from the high frequency power source. The controller generates adjustment information based on the load impedance, and adjusts and controls the AC frequency of the high frequency power source based on the adjustment information until the load impedance matches the power source impedance.

[0034] In one possible embodiment, the parameter information further includes the source impedance; When the load impedance does not match the power source impedance of the high frequency power source, the step of generating adjustment information based on the load impedance to adjust the AC frequency of the high frequency power source until the load impedance matches the power source impedance, if the load impedance does not match the power source impedance, determining a cigarette capacitance of the target cigarette based on the load impedance and the AC frequency of the high frequency power source, and generating a first mapping relationship between the load impedance and the AC frequency based on the cigarette capacitance; and adjusting the AC frequency until the load impedance matches the power source impedance by generating adjustment information based on the first mapping relationship.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the power impedance of the high frequency power source is determined, so that the power impedance can be directly obtained and determined based on the parameter information of the high frequency power source. As for the plate, it can be regarded as a capacitor, and its impedance is a capacitive reactance, where the capacitive reactance Xc=1 / (2πfC), where f is the AC frequency, and C is the capacitor. When the capacitors of different non-combustion heated cigarettes are different and it is difficult to determine the resonant load characteristics, it is difficult to determine the specific capacitor of the non-combustion heated cigarette in advance. Therefore, in the present application, after calculating the current load impedance, the capacitor of the non-combustion heated cigarette can be directly calculated and determined based on the AC frequency currently output from the high frequency power source, and when the capacitor is determined, a first mapping relationship between the load impedance and the AC frequency is determined. The controller adjusts the AC frequency output from the high frequency power source based on the first mapping relationship, so that the load impedance and the power impedance are matched.

[0036] In one possible embodiment, the method comprises: recognizing a tobacco category identification code corresponding to the target tobacco, and recording a second mapping relationship between the tobacco category identification code and the adjustment information; If the tobacco category identification code is recognized again, obtaining the adjustment information based on the second mapping relationship, and responding with the adjustment information.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present application, each non-combustion heated cigarette is marked with a tobacco category identification code in the form of a two-dimensional barcode, etc. After completing the frequency adjustment process for a non-combustion heated cigarette having a certain tobacco category identification code, the controller records a second mapping relationship between the tobacco category identification code and the adjustment information, so that when the user smokes a cigarette of that category again, the controller can directly obtain the adjustment information according to the second mapping relationship to adjust the frequency, thereby improving the data processing efficiency of the smoking device.

[0038] In one possible embodiment, the method comprises: obtaining a frequency adjustment range corresponding to the high frequency power source; If the AC frequency corresponding to the adjustment information exceeds the frequency adjustment range, optimizing the adjustment information based on a frequency adjustment range.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to ensure that the smoking article can operate normally for a long period of time, the designer generally pre-designs a corresponding frequency adjustment range according to the specific structure of the smoking article and the high-frequency components used, that is, during the use of the smoking article, the AC frequency should be kept within the frequency adjustment range. When it is detected that the AC frequency corresponding to the adjustment information of a certain category of non-combustion heated tobacco exceeds the frequency adjustment range, the controller optimizes the adjustment information according to the frequency adjustment range to partially reduce the power usage efficiency, thereby ensuring that the final AC operating frequency of the smoking article is within the frequency adjustment range.
