Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] (CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS) This application claims priority from a Chinese patent application bearing application number 202111050604.3, filed on September 8, 2021, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic atomization, and in particular to an aerosol generating device, a control method, and a computer-readable storage medium. [Background technology]

[0003] The aerosol generating device includes a heater and a power supply assembly, the power supply assembly supplies electrical energy to the heater, the heater converts the energy into thermal energy to heat and atomize the aerosol-generating matrix, thereby forming an aerosol that can be inhaled by a user. Currently, commercially available aerosol generating devices are mainly divided into two types: one is an electronic atomizer that heats a liquid aerosol matrix, and the other is an electronic atomizer that heats a solid aerosol-generating matrix at a low temperature but does not combust it.

[0004] Current aerosol generators are all powered by lithium-ion batteries, which can be overcharged or overdischarged during use. When a lithium-ion battery is overcharged, excess lithium ions are released from the battery's positive electrode. Prolonged overcharge can cause the crystal lattice to collapse, irreversibly reducing the capacity of the lithium-ion battery and leading to increased internal pressure, deformation, and leakage. When a lithium-ion battery is overdischarged, the excess lithium ions are locked in the crystal lattice and cannot be released again, resulting in a shortened battery life and deformation. Furthermore, the energy of the lithium-ion battery cannot be accurately detected during charging, resulting in excessively long charging times.

[0005] In general, in an aerosol generator, especially in a portable low-temperature firing integrated aerosol generator, using a lithium ion battery to power the heater has the disadvantages of low safety, short service life, and long charging time.
