[0019] Hereinafter, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. It is understood that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments that a person skilled in the art can obtain without inventive work are all within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0020] Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic structural diagram of one embodiment of the connection between the aerosol generating device and the aerosol generating product to which the present application is provided.
[0021] The aerosol generating device 100 is used to heat the aerosol generating product 200, for example, to heat a solid substrate of plant leaves having a particular aroma or substance. The aerosol generating device 100 burns the solid substrate of plant leaves having a particular aroma in a non-combustible manner, and the solid substrate of leaves is burned to form an aerosol for inhalation by a user. The aerosol generating device 100 of the present application can be used in various fields such as medical, beauty, or leisure inhalation.
[0022] Specifically, the aerosol generating device 100 includes a housing 10, an induction unit 20, a control unit 30, and a heating assembly 40. Specifically, a receiving cavity 101 is provided in the housing 10. The receiving cavity 101 is used to receive the aerosol generating product 200. The induction unit 20 is provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity 101 and is insulated from the heating assembly 40. When the aerosol generating product 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101 and the induction unit 20 is pressed, an induction signal is output. The control unit 30 is provided in the housing 10 and is electrically connected to the induction unit 20. The control unit 30 is used to determine a heating curve for heating the aerosol generating product 200 based on the induction signal, and to control the heating assembly 40 based on the determined heating curve to heat the aerosol generating product 200.
[0023] The containment cavity 101 may be defined and formed by the housing 10 of the aerosol generating device 100. The containment cavity 101 may also be defined and formed by the heating assembly 40 (shown in FIG. 1).
[0024] In one embodiment, the heating assembly 40 heats the aerosol-generating product 200 by circular resistive heating, electromagnetic heating, or infrared heating. Specifically, the heating assembly 40 includes a hollow cylinder that defines a receiving cavity 101. The cross section of the hollow cylinder may be circular, elliptical, rectangular, diamond, or other shapes, and the present application is not limited thereto. For example, the heating assembly 40 includes a hollow metal cylinder and an electromagnetic coil disposed around the hollow metal cylinder. The electromagnetic coil is used to provide a changing electromagnetic field to the hollow metal cylinder when energized. The hollow metal cylinder generates heat by electromagnetic induction to heat the aerosol-generating product 200.
[0025] In another embodiment, the housing 10 of the aerosol generating device 100 defines a receiving cavity 101 to form the receiving cavity 101. The aerosol generating device 100 further includes a mounting base and a heating assembly 40 secured to the mounting base. The heating assembly 40 is a central pin-type or sheet-type structure that is inserted into the aerosol generating product 200 and used to heat the aerosol generating product 200 by resistive heating, electromagnetic heating or infrared heating.
[0026] The aerosol generating device 100 includes an electric core 50. The electric core 50 is disposed in the housing 10 and is electrically connected to the control unit 30. The control unit 30 is used to control the electric core 50 to supply power to the heating assembly 40.
[0027] In one embodiment, the induction signal is obtained based on the pressure of the aerosol-generating product 200 pressing against the induction unit 20. An induction unit 20 including a thin-film resistive strain gauge is taken as an example. The principle of the thin-film resistive strain gauge is that when pressed by different degrees of force, the thin-film resistive strain gauge exhibits different resistance value characteristics. This characteristic allows the control unit 30 to collect this change and make a corresponding judgment. Specifically, when the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101 and the induction unit 20 arranged at the bottom of the receiving cavity 101 is pressed against it, the induction unit 20 deforms to different degrees based on different pressures, thereby generating induction signals corresponding to different values. Since the induction unit 20 is a thin-film resistive strain gauge, the generated induction signal is a resistance change signal. The control unit 30 acquires a resistance change signal of the thin film resistive strain gauge, further acquires a change value of the resistance change signal, and based on the change value of the resistance change signal, determines different heating curves in response to different change values of the resistance change signal, and controls the heating assembly 40 to heat the aerosol generating product 200 based on the determined heating curves.
[0028] Specifically, when the aerosol-generating product 200 is not inserted into the receiving cavity 101, the initial resistance value R0 of the thin-film resistive strain gauge is infinite. For example, when the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101 and the thin-film resistive strain gauge is pressed with a first pressure, the resistance value of the thin-film resistive strain gauge is changed, and the control unit 30 collects a first resistance change signal, and then determines a first heating curve based on the change value of the first resistance change signal, and controls the heating assembly 40 based on the first heating curve to heat the aerosol-generating product 200. When the aerosol-generating product 200 is used and the thin-film resistive strain gauge is pressed with a second pressure, the control unit 30 collects a second resistance change signal, and then determines a second heating curve based on the change value of the second resistance change signal, and controls the heating assembly 40 based on the second heating curve to heat the aerosol-generating product 200. When the aerosol-generating product 200 is used and the thin-film resistive strain gauge is pressed with a third pressure, the control unit 30 collects a third resistance change signal, and then determines a third heating curve based on the change value of the third resistance change signal, and controls the heating assembly 40 based on the third heating curve to heat the aerosol-generating product 200.
[0029] The change value of the first resistance change signal, the change value of the second resistance change signal, and the change value of the third resistance change signal are different, and the first heating curve, the second heating curve, and the third heating curve correspond to each other. electric power For example, the first heating curve corresponding to the change value of the first resistance change signal is electric power heats the aerosol-generating product 200 at a low temperature electric power of the second heating curve corresponding to the change value of the second resistance change signal. electric power heats the aerosol-generating product 200 at a high temperature electric power of the third heating curve corresponding to the change value of the third resistance change signal. electric power The aerosol generating product 200 is heated to rapidly generate a mist. electric power Specifically, it can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.
[0030] Furthermore, when the thin film resistive strain gauge is pressed with a fourth pressure, a fifth pressure, ..., an nth pressure, a fourth resistance change signal change value, a fifth resistance change signal change value, ..., an nth resistance change signal change value can be obtained, so that a corresponding fourth heating curve, a fifth heating curve, ..., or an nth heating curve can be determined to control the heating assembly 40 to heat the aerosol generating product 200, which is not limited here and can be set according to actual needs.
[0031] Since different users press the aerosol-generating product 200 with different forces, the change value of the induction signal generated by the induction unit 20 when the induction unit 20 is pressed against the aerosol-generating product 200 corresponding to the same heating curve is also different. Therefore, the change value of the first resistance change signal, the change value of the second resistance change signal, and the change value of the third resistance change signal are set as range values, which may be in the range of 1Ω to 4Ω.
[0032] Of course, the induction unit 20 can detect the pressure of the aerosol generating product 200 pressing against the induction unit 20 based on strain-type capacitance proximity detection or strain-type inductance proximity detection, and is not limited here. Specifically, based on different detection methods, the induction signal generated by the induction unit 20 is at least one of a resistance change signal, a capacitance change signal, and an inductance change signal.
[0033] In one embodiment, the change value of the induction signal is directly proportional to the pressure with which the aerosol-generating product 200 presses the induction unit 20. That is, the greater the pressure with which the aerosol-generating product 200 presses the induction unit 20, the greater the change value of the induction signal generated by the induction unit 20. The smaller the pressure with which the aerosol-generating product 200 presses the induction unit 20, the smaller the change value of the induction signal generated by the induction unit 20. Specifically, it is determined according to the type of the induction unit 20.
[0034] In one embodiment, different heating curves are electric poweris directly proportional to the change in the induction signal. That is, the larger the change in the induction signal obtained, the more suitable the heating curve that can be selected. electric power In another embodiment, the heating curve electric power is inversely proportional to the change in the induction signal. In other words, the larger the change in the induction signal obtained, the more likely it is that the heating curve that can be selected corresponds to the change in the induction signal. electric power is small. Specifically, it can be selected as necessary and is not limited here.
[0035] In another embodiment, the control unit 30 further includes a counting unit. The control unit 30 counts the number of times the induction unit 20 generates an induction signal within a preset time, i.e., counts the number of times the aerosol-generating product 200 presses the induction unit 20. Based on different numbers of times the aerosol-generating product 200 presses the induction unit 20 within the preset time, the control unit 30 determines different heating curves, and controls the heating assembly 40 to heat the aerosol-generating product 200 based on the determined heating curves.
[0036] Take the induction unit 20 including a thin-film resistance strain gauge as an example for illustration. When the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101 and the thin-film resistance strain gauge is pressed against it, the resistance value of the thin-film resistance strain gauge changes. This generates an induction signal. Due to this characteristic, when the control unit 30 detects that the resistance value of the gas-soluble resistance strain gauge has changed multiple times within a preset time (e.g., a time range of 3 seconds, 5 seconds, etc.), it counts the number of times the resistance has changed. That is, it counts the number of times the aerosol-generating product 200 presses against the induction unit 20. For example, when the control unit 30 counts the number of times the resistance value has changed within the preset time as one, it determines a first heating curve and controls the heating assembly 40 to heat the aerosol-generating product 200 based on the first heating curve. If the control unit 30 counts the number of resistance changes within the preset time as two, it determines a second heating curve and controls the heating assembly 40 based on the second heating curve to heat the aerosol-generating product 200. If the control unit 30 counts the number of resistance changes within the preset time as three, it determines a third heating curve and controls the heating assembly 40 based on the third heating curve to heat the aerosol-generating product 200. electric power is different.
[0037] In other embodiments, the number of times that the aerosol-generating product 200 presses the induction unit 20 within a preset time may be 4, 5, ..., n times, and the corresponding heating curves may be the fourth heating curve, the fifth heating curve, ..., nth heating curve. The control unit 30 controls the heating assembly 40 to heat the aerosol-generating product 200 based on the fourth heating curve, the fifth heating curve, ..., nth heating curve. Specifically, the number of times may be selected as needed and is not limited here.
[0038] In one embodiment, the number of times that the aerosol-generating article 200 presses the induction unit 20 within a preset time period is: electric powerThat is, the more times the aerosol-generating product 200 presses against the induction unit 20, the greater the heating curve. electric power In another embodiment, the number of times that the aerosol-generating article 200 presses the induction unit 20 within a preset time is set to be: electric power That is, the more times the aerosol-generating product 200 presses against the induction unit 20, the greater the heating curve. electric power is small. Specifically, it can be selected as necessary and is not limited here. curve, corresponding to the second heating curve and the third heating curve electric power is different.
[0039] In addition, the aerosol generating device 100 can include a memory unit (not shown). A plurality of heating curves are stored in the memory unit. When a product designer designs a product, the corresponding heating curve can be calculated according to a predetermined calculation method. Different heating curves can be calculated according to different heating curves. electric power The calculated heating curve is stored in the storage device. Also, a corresponding relationship between the pressure (number of times), the change value of the induction signal, and the heating curve can be designed, and the corresponding relationship is stored in the storage device. When the control unit 30 obtains the induction signal, the control unit 30 determines a corresponding heating curve according to the change value of the induction signal and the stored corresponding relationship, and then controls the heating assembly 40 to heat the aerosol-generating product 200.
[0040] Furthermore, the aerosol generating device 100 may also include a feedback unit (not shown). The feedback unit is electrically connected to the control unit 30. The control unit 30 controls the feedback unit to send a feedback signal based on the determined heating curve. The feedback signal is at least one of a sound signal, a light signal, and a vibration signal. Specifically, when the feedback unit is a microphone unit, the sent feedback signal is a sound signal. For example, different sounds sent indicate different heating curves. When the feedback unit is an LED light, the sent feedback signal is a light signal. For example, different color light signals or light signals with different flashing frequencies sent indicate different heating curves. When the feedback unit is a vibration sensor, the sent feedback signal is a vibration signal. For example, different vibration frequencies sent vibration signals indicate different heating curves.
[0041] Different from the prior art, the aerosol generating device 100 provided by the present application includes a receiving cavity 101, an induction unit 20 and a control unit 30. The receiving cavity 101 is used to receive the aerosol generating product 200. The induction unit 20 is disposed at the bottom of the receiving cavity 101 and is used to generate an induction signal when the aerosol generating product 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101 and the induction unit 20 is pressed. Compared with the existing external mechanical buttons, it can reduce the difficulty of the appearance design and structure design of the aerosol generating device 100, improve the waterproof ability of the device, and compared with the existing screen touch and Bluetooth control, it can reduce the manufacturing cost of the aerosol generating product 200 and the power consumption of the device, improve the running ability of the whole machine, and prevent erroneous touching. In addition, the control unit 30 is electrically connected to the induction unit 20, and the control unit 30 is used to determine a heating curve for heating the aerosol-generating product 200 based on the induction signal, and heat the aerosol-generating product 200 based on the determined heating curve, which is simple to operate and does not require operations such as pressing a button or touching a screen, thereby improving the user's experience.
[0042] Referring to Figure 2, Figure 2 is a flow chart of one embodiment of the heating method provided by the present application. Specifically, the heating method includes the following steps:
[0043] Step (S1): Obtain the guidance signal generated by the guidance unit.
[0044] Specifically, when the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the bottom of the receiving cavity 101 and the induction unit 20 is pressed, the induction unit 20 generates an induction signal. For example, the induction unit 20 includes a thin-film resistive strain gauge. When the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the bottom of the receiving cavity 101 and the thin-film resistive strain gauge is pressed, the resistance of the thin-film resistive strain gauge is changed and an induction signal is generated.
[0045] Step (S2): determining a heating curve for heating the aerosol-generating product based on the induced signal, and heating the aerosol-generating product based on the determined heating curve.
[0046] Specifically, in response to the aerosol-generating product 200 pressing the induction unit 20 using different pressures, the induction unit 20 outputs induction signals corresponding to the different pressures, and the control unit 30 determines different heating curves based on the changes in the induction signals having different range values to heat the aerosol-generating product 200.
[0047] In this application, the induction unit is a thin-film resistive strain gauge as an illustrative example. When the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101 and the thin-film resistive strain gauge is pressed with a first pressure, the resistance value of the thin-film resistive strain gauge changes, and after the control unit 30 collects a first resistance change signal, the control unit 30 determines a first heating curve based on the change value of the first resistance change signal, and controls the heating assembly 40 based on the first heating curve to heat the aerosol-generating product 200. When the aerosol-generating product 200 is used and the thin-film resistive strain gauge is pressed with a second pressure, the control unit 30 collects a second resistance change signal, and then determines a second heating curve based on the change value of the second resistance change signal, and controls the heating assembly 40 based on the second heating curve to heat the aerosol-generating product 200. When the aerosol-generating product 200 is used and the thin-film resistive strain gauge is pressed with a third pressure, the control unit 30 collects a third resistance change signal, and then the control unit 30 determines a third heating curve based on the change value of the third resistance change signal, and controls the heating assembly 40 based on the third heating curve to heat the aerosol-generating product 200. electric power is different.
[0048] Since different users press the aerosol-generating product 200 with different pressures, the change value of the induction signal generated by the induction unit 20 when the aerosol-generating product 200 corresponding to the same heating curve presses the induction unit 20 is also different. Therefore, the change value of the first resistance change signal, the change value of the second resistance change signal and the change value of the third resistance change signal are set as range values, and the range may be 1Ω to 4Ω.
[0049] Furthermore, when the thin film resistive strain gauge is pressed at a fourth pressure, a fifth pressure, ..., an nth pressure, a fourth resistance change signal change value, a fifth resistance change signal change value, ..., an nth resistance change signal change value can be obtained, so that a corresponding fourth heating curve, a fifth heating curve, ..., or an nth heating curve can be determined to control the heating assembly 40 to heat the aerosol generating product 200, which is not limited here and can be set according to actual needs.
[0050] In one embodiment, a heating curve corresponding to electric power is directly proportional to the change in the induction signal. That is, the larger the change in the induction signal obtained, the more suitable the heating curve that can be selected. electric power In another embodiment, the heating curve electric power is inversely proportional to the change in the induction signal. In other words, the larger the change in the induction signal obtained, the more likely it is that the heating curve that can be selected corresponds to the change in the induction signal. electric power is small. Specifically, it can be selected as necessary and is not limited here.
[0051] In another embodiment, the control unit 30 further includes a counting unit. The control unit 30 counts the number of times the induction unit 20 generates an induction signal within a preset time, i.e., counts the number of times the aerosol-generating product 200 presses the induction unit 20. The control unit 30 determines different heating curves based on different numbers of times the aerosol-generating product 200 presses the induction unit 20 within the preset time, and controls the heating assembly 40 to heat the aerosol-generating product 200 based on the determined heating curves.
[0052] In one embodiment, the heating method further includes a step of presetting a correspondence relationship between a plurality of different change values of the induction signal and a plurality of heating curves, and a step of selecting a corresponding heating curve based on the change values of the different induction signals.
[0053] Specifically, when a product designer designs a product, he or she can calculate the corresponding heating curve according to a predetermined calculation method. Different heating curves have different heating electric power The calculated heating curve is stored in the memory unit. Also, a corresponding relationship between the pressure (number of times), the change value of the induction signal, and the heating curve can be designed, and the corresponding relationship is stored in the memory unit. When the control unit 30 obtains the induction signal, the control unit 30 determines a corresponding heating curve based on the change value of the induction signal and the stored corresponding relationship, and then controls the heating assembly 40 to heat the aerosol-generating product 200. Since different users press the aerosol-generating product 200 with different forces, the values of the induction signal generated by the induction unit when the aerosol-generating product 200 presses the induction unit 20 are also different. Therefore, the change values of different induction signals can be set as range values.
[0054] In one embodiment, the heating method further comprises controlling a feedback unit based on the determined heating curve to send a feedback signal.
[0055] Specifically, the feedback signal is at least one of an audio signal, an optical signal, and a vibration signal. If the feedback unit in the aerosol-generating product 200 is a microphone unit, the feedback signal transmitted is an audio signal. For example, different audio signals transmitted indicate different heating curves. If the feedback unit in the aerosol-generating product 200 is an LED light, the feedback signal transmitted is an optical signal. For example, different color optical signals or optical signals with different flashing frequencies transmitted indicate different heating curves. If the feedback unit in the aerosol-generating product 200 is a vibration sensor, the feedback signal transmitted is a vibration signal. For example, different vibration frequency optical signals transmitted indicate different heating curves.
[0056] Different from the prior art, the heating method applied to the aerosol-generating device provided by the present application includes the steps of obtaining an induction signal generated by an induction unit, determining a heating curve for heating the aerosol-generating product based on the induction signal, and heating the aerosol-generating product based on the determined heating curve, which is simple to operate and does not require operations such as pressing a button or touching a screen, thereby improving the user's experience.
