[0002] The aerosol generating device has a receiving cavity for receiving the aerosol generating product. If the aerosol generating product is inserted into the receiving cavity in an incorrect state, for example, the aerosol generating product is not inserted at the bottom of the receiving chamber, the aerosol generating product will not be heated sufficiently, which will affect the user's experience.

[0003] There are two main methods for determining whether an aerosol-generating product has been inserted into a cavity. One method is to draw a marking line on the aerosol-generating product, and the user visually checks whether the aerosol-generating product has been inserted into the marking line and then determines whether the aerosol-generating product has been inserted into the bottom of the cavity. The other method is to use the user's own sense of touch and pressing pressure to determine whether the aerosol-generating product has been inserted into the bottom of the cavity.

[0004] However, the method for determining the status of the aerosol-generating products inserted into the above two containing cavities is complicated and not intelligent enough, so there is an urgent need to improve the existing technology.

[0007] In one embodiment, the control unit determines a change value of the induction signal based on the induction signal, and in response to the change value being greater than or equal to a first threshold, determines that the aerosol-generating product is inserted into the storage cavity, and in response to the change value being greater than or equal to a second threshold, determines that the aerosol-generating product is inserted at the bottom of the storage cavity.

[0011] In one embodiment, the aerosol generating device includes a feedback unit, the feedback unit is electrically connected to the control unit, and the control unit controls the feedback unit to send a feedback signal based on the state of the aerosol generating product inserted into the accommodating cavity, the feedback signal being at least one of an acoustic signal, an optical signal, and a vibration signal.

[0018] 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.

[0019] Reference is made to FIG. 1, which is a schematic structural diagram of one embodiment of an aerosol generating device that contains the aerosol generating product to which the present application is provided.

[0020] 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, so that the solid substrate of stems and leaves is burned and an aerosol is formed 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.

[0021] 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 an aerosol generating product 200. The induction unit 20 is disposed 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, the induction unit 20 is used to detect the pressure of the aerosol generating product 200 inserted into the receiving cavity 101 and generate an induction signal. The control unit 30 is provided in the housing 10 and electrically connected to the induction unit 20. The control unit 30 is used to determine the state of the aerosol generating product 200 inserted into the receiving cavity 101 based on the induction signal.

[0022] An example is taken of the induction unit 20 including a thin-film resistive strain gauge. The principle of the thin-film resistive strain gauge is that when the thin-film resistive strain gauge is pressed by different degrees of force, it will show 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, the induction unit 20 will deform 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 obtains the resistance change signal of the thin-film resistive strain gauge, and further obtains the change value of the resistance change signal, and determines whether the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101 or the bottom of the receiving cavity 101 based on the change value of the resistance change signal. This allows the control unit 30 to easily control the heating of the aerosol-generating product 200 based on the state of the aerosol-generating product 200 inserted into the receiving cavity 101 .

[0023] 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 is at least one of a resistance change signal, a capacitance change signal, and an inductance change signal generated by the induction unit 20.

[0024] 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).

[0025] 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 it is energized. This causes the hollow metal cylinder to heat up through electromagnetic induction, thereby heating the aerosol-generating product 200.

[0026] 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.

[0027] Furthermore, 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.

[0028] Specifically, the control unit 30 determines a change value of the induced signal based on the induced signal received before and after the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 101, and in response to the change value being greater than or equal to a first threshold value, determines that the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 101, and in response to the change value being greater than or equal to a second threshold value, determines that the aerosol-generating article 200 is inserted into the bottom of the accommodating cavity 101.

[0029] An example of the induction unit 20 including a thin-film resistance strain gauge is described below. In one embodiment, when the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101 and the thin-film resistance strain gauge is pressed with a first pressure, the resistance value of the thin-film resistance strain gauge is changed, and the control unit 30 determines that the aerosol-generating article 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101 after collecting a resistance change signal. When the aerosol-generating product 200 continues to press the thin-film resistance strain gauge, the control unit 30 determines that the aerosol-generating article 200 is inserted into the bottom of the receiving cavity in response to the change value of the resistance change signal satisfying a preset range. In this application, the preset range is 1Ω to 4Ω.

[0030] Specifically, when the aerosol generating article 200 is not inserted into the receiving cavity 101, the initial resistance value R0 of the thin-film resistance strain gauge is infinite. In another embodiment, when the aerosol generating product 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101 and the thin-film resistance strain gauge is pressed with a first pressure, the control unit 30 collects the resistance change signal and then determines that the aerosol generating product 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101 in response to the change value of the resistance change signal being equal to or greater than a first threshold. When the aerosol generating product 200 continues to press the thin-film resistance strain gauge, the control unit 30 determines that the aerosol generating article 200 is inserted into the bottom of the receiving cavity 101 in response to the change value of the resistance change signal being equal to or greater than a second threshold. In the present application, the first threshold ranges from 1Ω to 4Ω, and the second threshold ranges from 1Ω to 4Ω, which can be designed according to actual circumstances.

[0031] Specifically, when the aerosol-generating product 200 just contacts the induction unit 20, the aerosol-generating product 200 does not completely contact the induction unit 20 at this time. That is, the aerosol-generating product 200 is not completely inserted into the bottom of the receiving cavity 101. This causes a problem that the aerosol-generating product 200 is not heated sufficiently. Therefore, the control unit 30 determines whether the aerosol-generating product 200 is completely inserted into the bottom of the receiving cavity 101 by judging the change value of the induction signal when the aerosol-generating product 200 presses the induction unit 20. This ensures the heating effect on the aerosol-generating product 200.

[0032] The relationship between the change value of the induction signal and the pressure with which the aerosol-generating article 200 presses the induction unit 20 is specifically determined according to the type of the induction unit 20. In this 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.

[0033] 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 time when the aerosol generating product 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101 and inserted into the bottom of the receiving cavity 101. Specifically, 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 transmitted feedback signal is a sound signal. When the feedback unit is a LED light, the transmitted feedback signal is a light signal. When the feedback unit is a vibration sensor, the transmitted feedback signal is a vibration signal.

[0034] 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 detect the pressure of the aerosol generating product 200 inserted into the receiving cavity 101 to generate an induction signal. The control unit 30 is electrically connected to the induction unit 20, and is used to determine the state of the aerosol generating product 200 inserted into the receiving cavity 101 based on the induction signal. The aerosol generating device 100 provided by the present application can not only realize the determination of whether the aerosol generating product 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101, but also realize the determination of whether the aerosol generating product 200 is inserted into the bottom of the receiving cavity 101, and has a dual determination function. Thereby, the control unit 30 controls the heating of the aerosol-generating product 200 based on the state of the aerosol-generating product 200 inserted into the receiving cavity 101, to prevent the aerosol-generating product 200 from shrinking after heating and atomization, causing the control unit 30 to be unable to detect the aerosol-generating product 200, thereby stopping the heating and affecting the user's experience. Moreover, compared with the traditional method of determining the state of inserting the aerosol-generating product into the receiving cavity, the operation method is simple and intelligent, improving the user's experience.

[0035] Referring to Figure 2, Figure 2 is a flow chart of one embodiment of a method for determining the state of an aerosol-generating product inserted into a receiving cavity to which the present application is provided. Specifically, the method includes the following steps:

[0036] Step (S1): Obtain the guidance signal generated by the guidance unit.

[0037] 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 resistance strain gauge. When the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the bottom of the receiving cavity 101 and the thin-film resistance strain gauge is pressed, the resistance of the thin-film resistance strain gauge is changed and an induction signal is generated.

[0038] Step (S2): Determine the state of the aerosol-generating product inserted into the receiving cavity based on the induction signal.

[0039] Specifically, the induction unit 20 including a thin-film resistance strain gauge is taken as an example. When the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101 and the induction unit 20 installed at the bottom of the receiving cavity 101 is pressed, the induction unit 20 deforms to different degrees according to different pressures, thereby generating induction signals corresponding to different values. Since the induction unit 20 is a thin-film resistance strain gauge, the generated induction signal is a resistance change signal. The control unit 30 obtains the resistance change signal of the thin-film resistance strain gauge, and further obtains the change value of the resistance change signal, and determines whether the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101 or the bottom of the receiving cavity 101 according to the change value of the resistance change signal. In this way, the control unit 30 can control the heating of the aerosol-generating product 200 according to the state of the aerosol-generating product 200 inserted into the receiving cavity 101.

[0040] In one embodiment, the step of determining the status of the aerosol generating product 200 inserted into the accommodating cavity 101 based on the induction signal includes determining that the aerosol generating product 200 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 101 and at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 101 in response to generating a change in the resistance of the induction unit 20.

[0041] Specifically, when the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the accommodating 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 determines that the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the bottom of the accommodating cavity 101 after collecting the resistance change signal.

[0042] In another embodiment, the step of determining the status of the aerosol generating product 200 inserted into the accommodating cavity 101 based on the induction signal includes a sub-step of determining that the aerosol generating product 200 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 101 in response to generating a change in the resistance of the induction unit 20, and a sub-step of determining that the aerosol generating product 200 is inserted into the bottom of the accommodating cavity 101 in response to the change in the resistance of the induction unit 20 satisfying a preset range.

[0043] Specifically, 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, after collecting the resistance change signal, determines that the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101. When the aerosol-generating product 200 continues to press the thin-film resistive strain gauge, the control unit 30 determines that the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the bottom of the receiving cavity 101 in response to the change value of the resistance change signal satisfying a preset range. In the present application, the preset range is 1Ω to 4Ω.

[0044] In another embodiment, the step of determining the status of the aerosol-generating product 200 inserted into the accommodating cavity 101 based on the induction signal includes a sub-step of determining that the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 101 in response to the change value of the induction unit 20 being greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and a sub-step of determining that the aerosol-generating product 200 is inserted at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 101 in response to the change value of the induction unit 20 being greater than or equal to a second threshold value.

[0045] Specifically, when the aerosol generating article 200 is not inserted into the receiving cavity 101, the initial resistance value R0 of the thin-film resistance strain gauge is infinite. When the aerosol generating article 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101 and the thin-film resistance strain gauge is pressed with a first pressure, the control unit 30 collects the resistance change signal and then determines that the aerosol generating article 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 101 in response to the change value of the resistance change signal being equal to or greater than a first threshold. When the aerosol generating article 200 continues to press the thin-film resistance strain gauge, the control unit 30 determines that the aerosol generating article 200 is inserted into the bottom of the receiving cavity 101 in response to the change value of the resistance change signal being equal to or greater than a second threshold. In the present application, the first threshold ranges from 1Ω to 4Ω, and the second threshold ranges from 1Ω to 4Ω, which can be designed according to actual circumstances.

[0046] In one embodiment, the method further comprises controlling the feedback unit to send a feedback signal based on a state of the aerosol-generating product inserted into the receiving cavity.

[0047] 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 transmitted feedback signal is an audio signal. If the feedback unit in the aerosol-generating product 200 is an LED light, the transmitted feedback signal is an optical signal. If the feedback unit in the aerosol-generating product 200 is a vibration sensor, the transmitted feedback signal is a vibration signal.

[0048] Different from the prior art, the method for determining the state of an aerosol-generating product inserted into a receiving cavity provided by the present application includes the steps of obtaining an induction signal generated by an induction unit, and determining the insertion state of the aerosol-generating product into the receiving cavity according to the induction signal, thereby realizing intelligent determination of the state of the aerosol-generating product inserted into the receiving cavity with a simple operation method, and improving the user's experience.
