[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the following 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 efforts fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0023] 1, which is a functional module schematic diagram of a heating assembly according to one embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the heating assembly 10 includes a heating element 11 and a control unit 12. The control unit 12 controls the operation of the heating element 11 to atomize the atomized substrate.

[0024] Specifically, the control unit 12 detects the current resistance Rx of the heating element 11 at the current time during the heating phase and determines the target resistance Rt corresponding to the current target temperature. The heating time of the heating element 11 is controlled based on the relationship between the current resistance Rx and the target resistance Rt. As can be understood, in practical applications, the higher the resistance, the higher the temperature. Therefore, if the target resistance Rt is greater than the current resistance Rx, it can be determined that the temperature corresponding to the target resistance Rt is greater than the temperature corresponding to the current resistance Rx.

[0025] 2 , in one embodiment, when the target resistance Rt is greater than the current resistance Rx, and the difference between the target resistance Rt and the current resistance Rx is equal to or greater than a preset threshold, the control unit 12 opens a path between the battery assembly 20 connected to the heating assembly 10 and the heating element 11 during a first time period T2, thereby powering the heating element 11 to heat during the first time period T2. When the target resistance Rt is greater than the current resistance Rx, and the difference between the target resistance Rt and the current resistance Rx is less than the preset threshold, the control unit 12 opens a path between the battery assembly 20 and the heating element 11 during a second time period T1, thereby powering the heating element 11 to heat during the second time period T1. Here, the first time period T2 is longer than the second time period T1.

[0026] Specifically, the temperature corresponding to the current resistance value Rx is the current temperature of the heating element 11, and the temperature corresponding to the target resistance value Rt is the current target temperature of the heating element 11. That is, if the target temperature is higher than the current temperature and the temperature difference between the target temperature and the current temperature is large, the current temperature of the heating element 11 needs to be increased, and the heating element 11 is heated for a relatively long time, for example, the first time period T2. If the target temperature is higher than the current temperature and the temperature difference between the target temperature and the current temperature is small, the heating element 11 is heated for a relatively short time, for example, the second time period T1.

[0027] Specifically, a temperature-resistance relationship table and a temperature-time curve are stored in advance. When detecting a current resistance value Rx corresponding to a current point, a current temperature corresponding to the current resistance value Rx is determined based on the temperature-resistance relationship table. Furthermore, a target temperature corresponding to the current point can be obtained based on the time of the current point and the temperature-time curve. Furthermore, a target resistance value Rt corresponding to the target temperature can be determined from the temperature-resistance relationship table based on the target temperature.

[0028] It can be understood that when the control unit 12 detects that the target resistance Rt of the heating element 11 at the current point is greater than the current resistance Rx of the heating element 11 at the current point, and the difference between the target resistance Rt and the current resistance Rx is greater than a preset threshold, the temperature of the heating element 11 is too low and the heating element 11 cannot sufficiently heat the atomization substrate. Therefore, to ensure the heating effect of the heating element 11, the heating element 11 needs to be heated for a longer period of time. When the difference between the target resistance Rt and the current resistance Rx of the heating element 11 is less than the preset threshold, the heating element 11 may not sufficiently heat part of the atomization substrate. Therefore, the heating element 11 needs to be heated for a shorter period of time to ensure that the temperature of the heating element 11 can sufficiently heat the atomization substrate. This ensures the continuous heating effect of the heating element, and by effectively controlling the temperature of the heating element 11, it is possible to avoid insufficient atomization or reduced atomization effect due to excessively low temperatures.

[0029] In one embodiment, when the target resistance value Rt is equal to or less than the current resistance value Rx, the control unit 12 also opens the path between the battery assembly 20 and the heating element 11 during a third time period T3, so that the heating element 11 is activated and heated during the third time period T3. Here, the third time period T3 is shorter than the second time period T1. As can be seen, when the current resistance value of the heating element 11 is greater than the target resistance value Rt, the heating element 11 can sufficiently heat the atomization substrate, and only needs to heat the heating element 11 for a very short time. Therefore, the heating time during the third time period T3 is shorter than that of the second time period T1.

[0030] To prevent the temperature of the heating element 11 from becoming too high due to prolonged heating, which could damage the heating element 11 and other elements, in one embodiment, a cut-off time T is provided between two adjacent second time periods T1, two adjacent first time periods T2, two adjacent third time periods T3, adjacent second time periods T1 and first time periods T2, adjacent second time periods T1 and third time periods T3, or adjacent first time periods T2 and third time periods T3. At the cut-off time T, the control unit 12 controls the battery assembly 20 to cut off the path between the heating element 11, so that the battery assembly 20 does not heat the heating element 11, and the heating element 11 heats the atomization substrate depending on the temperature rise of the previous heating cycle. As can be understood, the cut-off time T is fixed and cannot be changed. That is, at each cut-off time T, heating element The change in resistance of the heating element 11 is the same, and the change in temperature is also the same. Furthermore, since the actual temperature of the heating element 11 is lower than the target temperature at the cutoff time T, the control unit 12 can control the heating time of the heating element 11 in the next heating cycle based on the decreasing temperature of the heating element 11 within the cutoff time T and the actual temperature of the heating element 11 detected in the previous heating cycle, so that the actual temperature of the heating element 11 in the next heating cycle can sufficiently heat the atomization substrate.

[0031] By setting a constant cut-off time T between two adjacent heating cycles, on the one hand, it is possible to prevent the heating element 11 from overheating and damaging the heating element 11 and other elements, and on the other hand, it is possible to improve the energy conversion efficiency and increase the operating life of the electronic atomization device.

[0032] 3 is a circuit schematic diagram of a heating assembly according to an embodiment of the present application, in which the heating assembly 10 further includes a switch unit 121, which is installed in the passage between the heating element 11 and the battery assembly 20. Here, the control unit 12 is connected to the switch unit 121 and controls the switch unit 121 to be on, thereby opening the passage between the battery assembly 20 and the heating element 11 in the second time period T1, the first time period T2, or the third time period T3, so that the heating element 11 can heat and atomize the atomized gas.

[0033] In one embodiment, the heating element 11 includes a heating unit R1 and a temperature measuring unit R2. Here, the heating unit R1 is connected to the battery assembly 20 via a switch unit 121. When the switch unit 121 is turned on, the battery assembly 20 supplies power to the heating unit R1, causing the heating unit R1 to generate heat and atomize the atomization substrate. The temperature measuring unit R2 is connected to the heating unit R1. Parallel connected The switch unit 21 is connected to the control unit 12, so that the control unit 12 can detect the current resistance Rx of the heating unit R1 through the temperature measuring unit R2. In one embodiment, the switch unit 21 is a MOS transistor.

[0034] The heating assembly 10 further includes a sampling unit R3. The sampling unit R3 is connected in series with the temperature measuring unit R2 and is connected to the control unit 12. The control unit 12 detects the current flowing through the sampling unit R3 and the temperature measuring unit R2 via the sampling unit R3 and determines the resistance of the temperature measuring unit R2. The resistance of the temperature measuring unit R2 characterizes the current resistance Rx of the heating element 11. As can be understood, the current actual resistance of the temperature measuring unit R2 is the current actual resistance of the heating element 11. Specifically, the control unit 12 can detect the current I3 flowing through the sampling unit R3, and since the resistance of the sampling unit R3 is known, the voltage V1 of the sampling unit R3 can be calculated. Based on the principle of voltage division in a series circuit, the voltage V2 of the temperature measuring unit R2 is obtained by subtracting the voltage V1 of the sampling unit R3 from the voltage of the battery assembly 20. The current resistance of the temperature measuring unit R2 can then be calculated using the resistance calculation formula (1): Then, the resistance value of the temperature measuring unit R2 characterizes the current resistance value Rx of the heating element 11, so that the current resistance value Rx of the heating element 11 at the current time can be obtained. Next, the control unit 12 compares the current resistance value Rx of the temperature measuring unit at the current point with the target resistance value Rt corresponding to the target temperature at the current point and the preset threshold value, thereby driving the battery assembly 20 to heat the heating element 11 in the second time period T1, the first time period T2, or the third time period T3.

[0036] In one embodiment, the second time period T1, the first time period T2, and the third time period T3 are adjustable. Figure 4 is a logic diagram of a control method of the control unit according to an embodiment of the present application. When the switch unit 121 is turned off, the control unit 12 samples the current resistance Rx of the heating element 11 and compares it with the target resistance Rt corresponding to the current target temperature. If the target resistance Rt is greater than the current resistance Rx, the control unit 12 compares whether the difference between the target resistance Rt and the current resistance Rx is greater than or equal to a preset threshold. If the difference between the target resistance Rt and the current resistance Rx is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the switch unit 121 is turned on in the next heating cycle, and the battery assembly 20 continues to heat the heating element 11 for 100 ms. If the difference between the target resistance Rt and the current resistance Rx is less than the preset threshold, the switch unit 121 is turned on in the next heating cycle, and the battery assembly 20 continues to heat the heating element 11 for 10 ms. If the target resistance value Rt is less than or equal to the current resistance value Rx, in the next heating cycle, the switch unit 121 is turned on and the battery assembly 20 continues to heat the heating element 11 for 0.01 ms. In this embodiment, the values ​​of 0.01 ms, 10 ms, and 100 ms are for illustration only, and the actual values ​​can be selected as needed.

[0037] In one embodiment, the control unit 12 includes a proportional-integral-derivative controller (PID controller) that adjusts the second time period T1, the first time period T2, or the third time period T3 based on a fixed and unchanging cutoff time T, the current resistance value Rx, and the target resistance value Rt.

[0038] Specifically, the second time period T1, the first time period T2, and the third time period T3 are adjusted by the duty cycle. For example, a fixed cutoff time T can be set as Toff, and one heating period, for example, the second time period T1, the first time period T2, or the third time period T3, can be set as Ton, and one fixed cutoff time Toff and one heating period Ton are one total time. Based on the duty cycle equation (2), the following can be seen: The adjustable duty cycle range of one heating period Ton is 0-99.9%, i.e., a first ratio between the second time period T1 and the first time total is adjustable, where the first ratio is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 99.9%, and / or a second ratio between the first time period T2 and the second time total is adjustable, where the second ratio is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 99.9%, and / or a third ratio between the third time period T3 and the third time total is adjustable, where the third ratio is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 99.9%.

[0039] JPEG0007738172000002.jpg13170

[0040] In one embodiment, the control unit 12 detects the current resistance Rx of the heating element 11 at the cut-off time T.

[0041] In one embodiment, a temperature-time curve and a temperature-resistance relationship table are preset in the heating assembly 10. A target temperature of the heating element 11 at the current point is determined based on the preset temperature-time curve of the heating element 11 during the heating phase. A target resistance Rt corresponding to the target temperature is then determined based on the preset temperature-resistance relationship table. If the target resistance Rt is greater than the current resistance Rx and the difference between the target resistance Rt and the current resistance Rx is equal to or greater than a preset threshold, the control unit 12 opens a path between the battery assembly 20 connected to the heating assembly 10 and the heating element 11 during the first time period T2, thereby driving the heating element 11 to heat during the first time period T2. If the target resistance Rt is greater than the current resistance Rx and the difference between the target resistance Rt and the current resistance Rx is less than the preset threshold, the control unit 12 opens a path between the battery assembly 20 and the heating element 11 during the second time period T1, thereby driving the heating element 11 to heat during the second time period T1.

[0042] The heating assembly 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application uses the control unit 12 to detect the actual resistance Rx of the heating element 11 at the current point during the heating stage, compare it with the target resistance Rt corresponding to the current target temperature stored in advance and the preset threshold value, and control the conduction of the switch unit 121 by a PWM signal, thereby adjusting the time for the battery assembly 20 to heat the heating element 11, controlling the actual temperature of the heating element 11 to be close to the preset target temperature, and ensuring the atomization effect of the heating assembly 10.

[0043] The PWM signal is a pulse width modulation signal. The present application uses the PWM signal to drive the switch unit on and off, and can adjust the duty cycle of the PWM signal, thereby adjusting the on-time and off-time of the switch unit.

[0044] Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a first embodiment of the heating assembly control method of the present application, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0045] Step (S11): detect the current resistance value of the heating element at the current time during the heating stage, and determine the target resistance value corresponding to the current target temperature.

[0046] Specifically, the current resistance of the heating element at the current time during the heating stage is detected, and a target resistance corresponding to the target temperature at the current point is determined. The heating time of the heating element is controlled based on the relationship between the current resistance and the target resistance. As can be understood, in practical applications, the higher the resistance, the higher the temperature. Therefore, if the target resistance is greater than the current resistance, it can be determined that the temperature corresponding to the target resistance is greater than the temperature corresponding to the current resistance.

[0047] Step (S12): In response to the target resistance value being greater than the current resistance value and the difference between the target resistance value and the current resistance value being equal to or greater than a preset threshold, a path between the battery assembly connected to the heating assembly and the heating element is opened during a first time period, thereby driving the heating element to heat during the first time period.

[0048] When it is detected that the target resistance value of the heating element at the current point is greater than the current resistance value at the current point, and the difference between the target resistance value and the current resistance value is greater than the preset threshold, the temperature of the heating element is low and the heating element cannot heat the atomization substrate sufficiently, so that the heating element needs to be heated for a long time to ensure the heating effect of the heating element, and thus the heating element is driven in the first time period.

[0049] Step (S13): In response to the target resistance value being greater than the current resistance value and the difference between the target resistance value and the current resistance value being less than the preset threshold, a path between the battery assembly and the heating element is opened during a second time period, thereby driving the heating element to heat during the second time period.

[0050] If the target resistance value of the heating element at the current point is greater than the current resistance value at the current point, and the difference between the target resistance value and the current resistance value is less than the preset threshold, the heating element may not sufficiently heat a portion of the atomization substrate. Therefore, the heating element needs to be heated for a relatively short time to ensure that the temperature of the heating element is sufficient to heat the atomization substrate and ensure the continuous heating effect of the heating assembly. Therefore, the heating element is driven in the second time period.

[0051] 6, in another embodiment, in response to the target resistance value being equal to or less than the current resistance value, a path between the battery assembly and the heating element is opened during a third time period, thereby driving the heating element to heat during the third time period. The third time period is shorter than the second time period. That is, when the current resistance value of the heating element is greater than the target resistance value, the heating element can sufficiently heat and atomize the atomization substrate, and at this time, the heating element only needs to be heated for a very short time. As a result, the heating time during the third time period is shorter than the second and first time periods.

[0052] The control method of the heating assembly provided in this embodiment detects the actual resistance value of the heating element at the current time during the heating phase, compares it with the target resistance value corresponding to the target temperature at the current point stored in advance, and compares the difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature with a preset threshold value, and controls the conduction of the switch unit by a PWM signal to adjust the heating time of the heating element, control the actual temperature of the heating element to be close to the preset target temperature, and ensure the atomization effect of the heating element.

[0053] As shown in Figure 7, Figure 7 is a structural schematic diagram of an electronic atomization device according to an embodiment of the present application. The electronic atomization device includes a heating assembly 10 and a battery assembly 20. Here, the heating assembly 10 can be inserted into a solid atomization substrate or can be surrounded by the outside of the atomization substrate. The battery assembly 20 is electrically connected to the heating assembly 10 and supplies power to the heating assembly 10 so that the heating assembly 10 heats and atomizes the atomization substrate.
