It can be understood that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive efforts fall within the protection scope of the present application.

For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally further include unlisted steps or units, or may optionally further include other steps or units inherent in the process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0021] As a new technology, electronic atomization devices replace traditional combustion cigarettes by heating tobacco oil or burning cigarettes at low temperatures. Their operating temperature is low, and the smoke they produce contains far fewer harmful substances than traditional combustion cigarettes.

[0023] In the prior art, the low-temperature baking equipment for aerosol generation is an integrated structure, which means that the power supply used in the low-temperature baking equipment is irreplaceable. When the life of the power supply is shortened or the power supply is damaged, affecting the use of the low-temperature baking equipment, the whole low-temperature baking equipment needs to be replaced, which results in high operating costs.

[0038] 1-2, further referring to Fig. 3, which is a structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the control assembly of Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 3, based on the above embodiment, the control assembly 20 further includes a first charging interface 25 and a first charging circuit 27. Here, the first charging circuit 27 is installed between the control circuit 22 and the first charging interface 25.

[0039] The first charging interface 25 is used to connect an external power source, one end of the first charging circuit 27 is connected to the external power source via the first charging interface 25, and the other end of the first charging circuit 27 is connected to the power supply assembly 30 via the control circuit 22, so that the external power source charges the power supply assembly 30 via the first charging circuit 27.

[0040] 1 to 3, further referring to Figure 4, which is a structural schematic diagram of one embodiment of the power supply assembly of Figure 1. As shown in Figure 4, the power supply assembly 30 includes a hybrid capacitor 32 and a fourth interface unit 33.

[0041] Here, the hybrid capacitor 32 is connected to the fourth interface unit 33, which is installed in cooperation with the third interface unit 24, thereby connecting the control assembly 20 to the power supply assembly 30, and the hybrid capacitor 32 is used to supply power to the heating element 13 via the control assembly 20.

[0042] Optionally, in this embodiment, a second elastic pin is installed in the third interface unit 24 or the fourth interface unit 33, a second elastic pin interface is installed in the fourth interface unit 33 or the third interface unit 24, and the second elastic pin is inserted into the second elastic pin interface, thereby connecting the third interface unit 24 to the fourth interface unit 33.

[0044] Here, the second charging circuit 35 is installed between the hybrid capacitor 32 and the second charging interface 34, and both ends of the second charging circuit 35 are respectively connected to the hybrid capacitor 32 and the second charging interface 34. The fourth interface unit 33 is installed at one end of the power supply assembly 30 close to the control assembly 20, and the second charging interface 34 is installed at both ends of the power supply assembly 30 away from the control assembly 20, and the second charging interface 34 is used to connect an external power source, so that the external power source is connected to the second charging circuit 35 and further charges the hybrid capacitor 32 via the second charging circuit 35.

[0045] Optionally, when the external power source charges the hybrid capacitor 32, a constant current charging mode or a constant current-constant voltage charging mode can be adopted.

[0046] Specifically, in the constant current charging mode, the external power supply 2 outputs a constant charging current to the hybrid capacitor 32 until the voltage of the hybrid capacitor 32 reaches a set value and charging is completed.

[0047] In the constant current-constant voltage charging mode, the external power supply 2 outputs a constant charging current to the hybrid capacitor 32, and when the voltage of the hybrid capacitor 32 reaches a first set value, the external power supply 2 performs constant voltage charging. At this time, the charging current gradually decreases, and when the charging current reaches 0, the hybrid capacitor 32 is fully charged, at which point charging is completed.

[0048] In this application, the external power source can charge the hybrid capacitor 32 through the first charging interface 25 or the second charging interface 34, and the specific charging method is as follows:

[0051] In another embodiment, the external power source 2 includes multiple charging assemblies, and multiple power supply assemblies 30 are correspondingly connected to the multiple charging assemblies, so that the external power source 2 charges multiple hybrid capacitors 32 simultaneously, thereby reducing the overall charging time and improving charging efficiency.

[0052] Optionally, in other embodiments, the external power source 2 may include a charging base and a plurality of charging piles disposed on the charging base. The charging piles are inserted into the second charging interface 34 of the power supply assembly 30, thereby connecting the external power source 2 to the second charging circuit 35 via the second charging interface 34, and further charging the hybrid capacitor 32. Optionally, in other embodiments, the charging piles may be other elements installed in cooperation with the second charging interface 34.

[0053] When multiple power supply modules 30 are inserted into the charging base at the same time, the external power supply 2 charges the correspondingly installed power supply modules 30 simultaneously through multiple charging piles.

[0054] Optionally, in other embodiments, the external power source 2 may include a charging line. The charging line is connected to the second charging interface 34, so that the external power source 2 is connected to the second charging circuit 35 via the second charging interface 34 to charge the hybrid capacitor 32.

[0055] Optionally, the external power source 2 may be connected to multiple power supply assemblies 30 by multiple charging lines, thereby allowing multiple power supply assemblies 30 to be charged simultaneously.
