[0027] As shown in Figure 1, one embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic atomizing device that generates an aerosol by heating and atomizing an aerosol-generating substrate tape 30, which is then inhaled by a user.

[0028] The electronic atomizing device includes a main housing, a main control module 11 housed within the main housing, a start / stop signal input module 12, a drive module 13, an atomizing module 14, and a power supply module. The start / stop signal input module 12, the drive module 13, and the atomizing module 14 are each communicatively connected to the main control module 11. The start signal module receives a start signal or a stop signal and feeds it back to the main control module 11. The drive module 13 releases and refreshes the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 under the control of the main control module 11. The atomizing module 14 heats and atomizes the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 to generate an aerosol under the control of the main control module 11. The power supply module is electrically connected to the main control module 11, the start / stop signal input module 12, the drive module 13, and the atomizing module 14, and supplies power to the main control module 11, the start / stop signal input module 12, the drive module 13, and the atomizing module 14.

[0029] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, specifically, the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 has a long, strip-like structure. It is wound layer by layer along the circumferential direction to form a substrate roll, which is then housed in a substrate cartridge. The substrate cartridge is removably housed in the main housing. Compared to columnar or other shaped aerosol generating substrates, the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 is extremely thin, resulting in uniform heating during heating, a fast heating rate, a short overflow path for the aerosols generated when the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 is heated and atomized, and thus eliminating the need for preheating. The specific dimensions of the thickness and width of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 are not limited and may be set as needed to meet different requirements.

[0030] Furthermore, the aerosol-generating base material tape 30 is formed by mixing one or more of tobacco leaves, expanded tobacco stems, tobacco granules, tea leaves, and mint leaves with one or more of propylene glycol, glycerin, or other polyhydric alcohols which are smoke-generating agents, and materials such as fragrances, and forming a slurry. As a result, it can generate an aerosol that can be inhaled by a person when heated and atomized. However, the materials forming the aerosol-generating base material tape 30 are not limited to these and may be set as needed to satisfy different requirements.

[0031] The atomizing module 14 is attached to one side of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30, and under the influence of electrical energy from the power supply module, the atomizing module 14 can heat and atomize the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 to generate an aerosol. Specifically, the atomizing module 14 may be configured to include one or more of the following: a resistance heating assembly, an infrared heating assembly, an electromagnetic heating assembly, or a plasma heating assembly. The heating principle of the atomizing module 14 is not limited, and the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 can be heated and atomized by different heating methods.

[0032] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the drive module 13 includes a supply motor, a discharge wheel 131, a recovery wheel 132, and a transport wheel 133. In the transport direction of the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30, the transport wheel 133 is located between the discharge wheel 131 and the recovery wheel 132, the atomizing module 14 is located between the discharge wheel 131 and the transport wheel 133, and the supply motor is ductilely connected to the recovery wheel 132.

[0033] In this manner, one end of the strip-shaped aerosol-generating base material tape 30 is wrapped around the discharge wheel 131, and the other end of the aerosol-generating base material tape 30 passes sequentially through the atomization module 14 and the transport wheel 133 before being wrapped around the recovery wheel 132. The recovery wheel 132 rotates driven by the supply motor to continuously collect and wind up the aerosol-generating base material tape 30, the discharge wheel 131 rotates synchronously to release the aerosol-generating base material tape 30, the atomization module 14 heats and atomizes the aerosol-generating base material tape 30 attached to it, and the atomized aerosol-generating base material tape 30 is collected by the recovery wheel 132.

[0034] In another embodiment, a supply motor is movably connected to a transport wheel 133, which rotates under the drive of the supply motor, driving the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 toward the collection wheel 132, and a discharge wheel 131 rotates synchronously to discharge the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30.

[0035] In other embodiments, the electronic atomizer further includes a recovery chamber 30, and the drive module 13 is located on one side of the recovery chamber 30 and includes a supply motor, a discharge wheel 135, a supply drive wheel group 136, and a roller shaft group 137, wherein the supply drive wheel group 136 includes two spaced supply drive wheels, with a gap formed between the outer circumferential surfaces of the two supply drive wheels through which the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 passes, and the roller shaft group 137 includes two spaced roller shafts, with a gap formed between the outer circumferential surfaces of the two roller shafts through which the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 passes.

[0036] In the transport direction of the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30, the supply drive wheel group 136 and the roller shaft group 137 are spaced apart, the discharge wheel 135 is located on the side of the supply drive wheel group 136 away from the roller shaft group 137, and the atomization module 14 is located between the supply drive wheel group 136 and the roller shaft group 137. The supply motor is movably connected to the supply drive wheel group 136, and the supply drive wheel group 136 rotates under the drive of the supply motor, constantly advancing the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 and atomizing it. The aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 heated and atomized by the atomization module 14 enters the recovery chamber 30 and is recovered.

[0037] In another embodiment, the supply motor may be electrically connected to the supply drive wheel group 136 and the roller shaft group 137, respectively. The supply drive wheel group 136 and the roller shaft group 137 rotate under the drive of the supply motor, thereby driving the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 to move forward continuously and atomize it. The aerosol generating substrate tape 30, heated and atomized by the atomization module 14, enters the recovery chamber 30 and is recovered.

[0038] In some embodiments, the electronic atomizing device further includes a supply detection module 16. The supply detection module 16 is located in the movement path of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30, preferably upstream of the atomizing module 14. The supply detection module 16 is communicatively connected to the main control module 11 and electrically connected to the power supply module. The main control module 11 controls the real-time discharge length of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 and feeds it back to the main control module 11. This accurately controls the discharge length of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30, ensuring that the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 is supplied to the atomizing module 14 in a timely manner and preventing waste of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30.

[0039] Specifically, in one embodiment, the supply detection module 16 includes two rotating members 162, a sensing unit, and a detection unit. The two rotating members 162 are spaced apart, and a gap is formed between the outer surfaces of the two rotating members 162 to allow the passage of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30. The two rotating members 162 are each attached to both sides of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 in the thickness direction and rotate in conjunction with the aerosol generating substrate tape 30. At least one of the rotating members 162 is provided with a sensing unit, which may specifically be a magnetic sensing member, a photoelectric sensing member, or a mechanical sensing member. The detection unit is provided on one side of the rotating member 162 and may be a Hall sensor, a light shielding plate, or a mechanical detection element that matches the sensing unit.

[0040] In this way, the detection unit can obtain the rotation angle or number of rotations of the rotating member 162 by calculating the number of times the sensing unit has passed over it, and further obtain the real-time discharge length of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 based on the rotation angle or number of rotations of the rotating member 162. The type of sensing unit in the rotating member 162 is not limited and may be other features or elements that can be detected by the detection unit. Accordingly, the type of detection unit is set according to the type of sensing unit so as to match the sensing unit.

[0041] In other embodiments, the supply motor has a motor encoder, and the drive shaft of the supply motor is in direct contact with the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 to drive and move the aerosol generating substrate tape 30. The supply detection module 16 is connected to the motor encoder of the supply motor, and by acquiring the number of rotations of the motor encoder, the real-time discharge length of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 can be obtained.

[0042] In some other embodiments, detection marks may be placed on the aerosol generating substrate tape 30, with multiple detection marks spaced apart along the length of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30, and the detection marks include one or more of the following: mechanical features such as horizontal lines, embossed patterns, grid patterns, holes, or detectable mark features such as photoelectric features or magnetic features. Since the distance between two spaced detection marks is constant, the supply detection module 16 can obtain the real-time emission length of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 based on the number of marking features or on / off signals.

[0043] The start / stop signal input module 12 is provided in the main housing and may be a mechanical key, a touch key, a fingerprint key, a Hall sensor, or an airflow sensor capable of sensing airflow. The method for acquiring the start command or stop command is not limited, and the start / stop signal input module 12 may acquire the corresponding start signal or stop signal by voice recognition or gesture recognition.

[0044] In some embodiments, the electronic atomizer further includes a status indicator module 17, which is communicatively connected to a main control module 11 and electrically connected to a power supply module, and which indicates the operating status of the electronic atomizer under the control of the main control module 11. Specifically, the status indicator module 17 can clearly inform the user of the operating status of the electronic atomizer by emitting signals such as images, characters, light rays, vibrations, and sounds under the control of the main control module 11, thereby indicating the heating status, transmission status, and suction signal of the electronic atomizer.

[0045] In some embodiments, the electronic atomizer further includes an installation detection module 18, which is communicatively connected to a main control module 11 and detects whether or not a substrate cartridge is present in the electronic atomizer. If the installation detection module 18 detects that no substrate cartridge is present in the electronic atomizer, it can feed the detection result back to the main control module 11, and the main control module 11 can prohibit the activation of the atomizing module 14 based on the detection result. If the installation detection module 18 detects that a substrate cartridge is present in the electronic atomizer, it can feed the detection result back to the main control module 11, and the main control module 11 can permit the activation of the atomizing module 14 based on the detection result.

[0046] Specifically, the base material cartridge is provided with a sensing element that matches the mounting detection module 18, such as a Hall sensor or a photoelectric sensor. The mounting detection module 18 may be a magnetic element that matches the Hall sensor or a light-shielding plate that matches the photoelectric sensor. The Hall sensor can determine whether or not the base material cartridge is present in the electron atomizer by detecting whether or not the magnetic element is present, and the photoelectric sensor can determine whether or not the base material cartridge is present in the electron atomizer by detecting whether or not the light-shielding plate is present.

[0047] In some embodiments, the electronic atomizer further includes a remaining amount detection module 19, which is communicatively connected to a main control module 11 and detects the remaining amount of unreleased portion of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30, thereby prompting the user to inspect and replace the substrate cartridge or aerosol generating substrate tape 30 in a timely manner. Specifically, the remaining amount detection module 19 detects changes in the lock current of the supply motor of the drive module 13, changes in the temperature curve of the atomization module 14, or the volume of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30, obtains the remaining amount of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 and feeds it back to the main control module 11, and can further output signals including, but not limited to, images, characters, light, vibration and sound, to prompt the user to inspect and replace the aerosol generating substrate tape 30.

[0048] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the atomization control method for the above-mentioned electronic atomizer includes the following steps S1 to S2.

[0049] In step S1, a start signal is acquired and the electronic atomizer is controlled to enter the atomization cycle in accordance with the start signal.

[0050] Specifically, the device that acquires the startup signal is the startup / stop signal input module 12. When the user presses the startup / stop signal input module 12, the startup / stop signal input module 12 acquires the startup signal and transmits it to the main control module 11. The method by which the startup / stop signal input module 12 acquires the startup command is not limited, and the startup / stop signal input module 12 may acquire the startup signal by fingerprint recognition, touch recognition, airflow sensing, voice recognition, or gesture recognition, etc.

[0051] Step S1, which involves acquiring a start signal and controlling the electronic atomizer to enter the atomization cycle in accordance with the start signal, specifically includes the following steps S11 to S14.

[0052] In step S11, an inhalation signal is acquired, and the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 is heated and atomized in accordance with the inhalation signal.

[0053] Specifically, an airflow sensor is provided within the electronic atomizer, and when the user uses the airflow sensor, it can trigger an inhalation signal to be transmitted to the main control module 11. In response to the inhalation signal, the main control module 11 controls the atomization module 14 to heat and atomize the aerosol generating substrate tape 30, thereby generating an aerosol that is inhaled by the user.

[0054] Specifically, in one embodiment, the atomizing module 14 heats and atomizes the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 using a high-power, high-speed startup method. After acquiring an inhalation signal each time, the heating time of the atomizing module 14 is 2.0 seconds to 3.0 seconds, preferably 2.0 seconds to 2.5 seconds, and within 0.2 seconds to 1 second from the start, the atomizing module 14 rapidly heats up to the maximum heating temperature, which can reach 350°C to 700°C.

[0055] Thus, when a user uses the electronic atomizer, the atomizing module 14, under the control of the main control module 11, immediately heats the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 to rapidly generate an aerosol for the user to inhale, eliminating the need for preheating and improving the user experience of the electronic atomizer.

[0056] In step S12, the real-time number of inhalations is obtained, and if it is determined that the real-time number of inhalations has reached a preset number of inhalations, the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 is released to refresh it.

[0057] Specifically, the main control module 11 acquires the real-time number of inhalations and compares the real-time number of inhalations with a preset number of inhalations. If the main control module 11 determines that the real-time number of inhalations has reached the preset number of inhalations, it controls the drive module 13 to release the aerosol generating substrate tape 30, replacing the atomized aerosol generating substrate tape 30 and preparing it for the next atomization. The preset number of inhalations may be one or multiple, and may be set as needed to ensure that the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 is fully utilized.

[0058] In step S13, the real-time release length of the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 is obtained.

[0059] Specifically, the supply detection module 16, under the control of the main control module 11, acquires the real-time discharge length of the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 and feeds it back to the main control module 11.

[0060] In step S14, if the real-time discharge length reaches a first predetermined length, the updating of the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 is stopped.

[0061] Specifically, the main control module 11 compares the real-time release length with a first predetermined length. When it determines that the real-time release length of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 is equal to the first predetermined length, it indicates that the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 has been updated and controls the drive module 13 to stop the release of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 in order to avoid wasting the aerosol generating substrate tape 30. The first predetermined length is equal to or greater than the atomization length of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 within one atomization cycle.

[0062] The drive module 13 may periodically release and refresh the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 under the control of the main control module 11, or it may continuously release the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 until suction is completed under the control of the main control module 11. In the method of releasing the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 to periodically refresh it, the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 may be heated by the atomization module 14, and then refreshed after waiting for a certain period of time, which is advantageous for sufficient atomization of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30. In one preferred embodiment, the time to wait for refreshment after heating the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 is 0.5 seconds to 5 seconds.

[0063] Specifically, in one embodiment, step S13, which obtains the real-time release length of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30, specifically includes the following steps S131 to S132.

[0064] In step S131, the rotation angle or number of rotations of the rotating member 162 is obtained.

[0065] Specifically, the electronic atomizing device includes a supply detection module 16, which includes a rotating member 162, a sensing unit, and a detection unit. The movement of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 can drive the rotating member 162 to rotate synchronously, and the detection unit can obtain the rotation angle or number of rotations of the rotating member 162 by calculating the number of times the sensing unit, which rotates according to the rotating member 162, passes over it.

[0066] In step S132, the real-time discharge length of the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 is obtained based on the rotation angle or the number of rotations.

[0067] Specifically, since the discharge length of the corresponding aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 is constant each time the rotating member 162 rotates by a unit angle, the supply detection module 16 can obtain the real-time discharge length of the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 based on the rotation angle or number of rotations and transmit it to the main control module 11.

[0068] Specifically, in another embodiment, step S13, which obtains the real-time release length of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30, specifically includes the following steps S133 to S134.

[0069] In step S133, the rotation count of the motor encoder of the supply motor is obtained.

[0070] Specifically, the output shaft of the supply motor of the drive module 13 is in close contact with the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30, and the supply detection module 16 is connected to the motor encoder of the supply motor to acquire the rotation count of the motor encoder of the supply motor.

[0071] In S134, the real-time discharge length of the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 is obtained based on the number of rotations of the motor encoder.

[0072] Specifically, since the discharge length of the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 is constant for each unit angle rotation of the drive shaft of the supply motor, the supply detection module 16 can obtain the real-time discharge length of the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 based on the number of rotations of the motor encoder and transmit it to the main control module 11.

[0073] Specifically, in one embodiment, step S13, which obtains the real-time discharge length of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30, specifically includes the following steps S135 to S136.

[0074] In step S135, the number of detection marks on the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 is obtained.

[0075] Specifically, marking features are arranged on the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30, and multiple marking features are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30. As the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 is released, the supply detection module 16 can obtain the number of the marking features.

[0076] In step S136, the real-time release length of the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 is obtained based on the number of detection marks.

[0077] Specifically, since the distance between two adjacent marking features is constant, the main control module 11 can calculate the real-time release length of the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 based on the number of detected marks.

[0078] In some embodiments, the atomization control method is The process further includes, after obtaining a start signal, releasing a second predetermined length of aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 in accordance with the start signal.

[0079] Specifically, the start / stop signal input module 12 acquires a start signal and feeds it back to the main control module 11. The main control module 11 then controls the drive module 13 to release a second predetermined length of aerosol generating substrate tape 30, replacing the previously exposed aerosol generating substrate tape 30. This ensures the synchronization of the quality of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 and further improves the synchronization of each inhalation. The second predetermined length may be set according to the length of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 that has been exposed to the outside, in order to replace the aerosol generating substrate tape 30.

[0080] In some embodiments, after step S1, which involves acquiring a start signal and controlling the electronic atomizer to enter an atomization cycle in accordance with the start signal, the method proceeds as follows: The process further includes step S2, which involves acquiring a stop signal and releasing a third predetermined length of aerosol-generating substrate tape in response to the stop signal.

[0081] Specifically, the device that acquires the start signal is the start / stop signal input module 12. Specifically, in one embodiment, when a user presses the start / stop signal input module 12, the start / stop signal input module 12 can acquire a stop signal and transmit it to the main control module 11. The method by which the start / stop signal input module 12 acquires the start command is not limited, and the start / stop signal input module 12 may acquire the start signal appropriately by fingerprint recognition, touch recognition, airflow detection, voice recognition, or gesture recognition.

[0082] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the main control module 11 can also acquire a stop signal by acquiring the operating time of the electronic atomizer, acquiring the operating temperature of the electronic atomizer, and determining the remaining amount of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30. If the operating time of the electronic atomizer is too long, the operating temperature is too high, or the remaining amount of the aerosol generating substrate tape 30 is too low, the main control module 11 can acquire a stop signal and stop the operation of the electronic atomizer in a timely manner, thereby preventing failure of the electronic atomizer due to factors such as excessively long operating time, excessively high temperature, or dry burning.

[0083] Controlling the operation of the electronic atomizer after the drive module 13 receives a stop signal includes stopping the acquisition of the number of inhalations, controlling the atomization module 14 to stop heating the aerosol generating substrate tape 30, controlling the operation of the drive module 13 and the supply detection module 16 to stop, and controlling the status indicator module 17 to transmit a signal to indicate the operating status of the electronic atomizer.

[0084] Specifically, because the atomized aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 becomes thinner and more prone to breakage, before controlling the operation of the electronic atomizing device to stop, the main control module 11 controls the drive module 13 to release a first predetermined length of aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 to replace the heated atomized aerosol-generating substrate tape 30, thereby reducing the risk of breakage of the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30.

[0085] The above atomization control method and atomization device utilize a strip-shaped aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 to achieve an instant inhalation and stop function. Specifically, when the user uses the electronic atomization device, the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 can be rapidly heated to generate aerosols. When the user stops inhaling, heating can be stopped in a timely manner to avoid wasting the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 and improve its utilization rate. Furthermore, by providing a supply detection module 16, the release length of the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 can be detected in real time, allowing for accurate control of the release amount of the aerosol-generating substrate tape 30 and improving the synchronization of inhalation.

[0086] The technical features of the embodiments described above can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above have been explained, but these combinations of technical features should be considered to fall within the scope described herein, as long as they are not contradictory.

[0087] The embodiments described above are merely examples of some embodiments of the present application, and although their descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be interpreted as limiting the scope of protection of the invention. Furthermore, a person skilled in the art can make some modifications and improvements as long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the present application, and these too fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be the same as that of the claims. [Explanation of Symbols]
