Detailed Implementation

[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0041] The components of the embodiments of this application described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in a variety of different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] In the following text, the terms "comprising," "having," and their cognates, which may be used in various embodiments of this application, are intended only to indicate a particular feature, number, step, operation, element, component, or combination thereof, and should not be construed as primarily excluding the presence of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof, or adding the possibility of one or more combinations thereof. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used only for distinguishing descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0043] Unless otherwise specified, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) shall have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the various embodiments of this application pertain. Terms (such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries) shall be interpreted as having the same meaning as in their contextual meaning in the relevant technical field and shall not be construed as having an idealized or overly formal meaning, unless clearly defined in the various embodiments of this application.

[0044] The technical solution of this application is applied to atomizing devices, especially the control method of atomizing devices equipped with atomizers. The atomizing device of this application identifies the type of atomizer by the different pins connected to the atomizer, and then performs corresponding control methods according to different types of atomizers, so that the atomizing device can be compatible with different atomizers for appropriate control.

[0045] The control method and apparatus, atomizing equipment and system, atomizer, and storage medium provided in the embodiments of this application can effectively solve the problem that the atomizing equipment cannot distinguish the atomizer.

[0046] The control method for this atomizing device will be described below with reference to some specific embodiments.

[0047] This disclosure provides an atomization system, as shown in Figure 1. In some embodiments, the atomization system includes an atomizing device 200 and at least one atomizer 100, wherein the atomizing device 200 and any atomizer 100 are detachably connected. The control method provided in this disclosure is applied to the atomizing device 200, which is equipped with an atomizer 100. The atomizer 100 is used to load aerosol, and the atomizing device 200 is used to supply power to the connected atomizer, allowing the user to perform atomization operations through the aerosol within the atomizer. Specifically, the atomizing device can be an electronic cigarette, and the atomizer can be a cartridge for an electronic cigarette.

[0048] Figure 2 shows a flowchart of a control method for an atomizing device according to an embodiment of this application. In one or more embodiments, the atomizing device control method includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S100: Determine the type of atomizer currently connected based on the connected identification pin.

[0050] In one or more embodiments, the atomizing device is connected to different types of atomizers, and the atomizing device and the atomizer are connected through multiple pins, each pin having its own function, such as transmitting signals, supplying power, or grounding.

[0051] Figure 3 shows a partial view of the pins on the atomizing device in this embodiment.

[0052] In one or more embodiments, the atomizing device may have four pins, arranged in a row as shown in Figure 3, where PIN1 is the first identification pin, PIN4 is the second identification pin, and PIN2 and PIN3 are power supply pins.

[0053] When a level signal is received from the first identification pin, the connected atomizer is determined to be the first type of atomizer; when a level signal is received from the second identification pin, the connected atomizer is determined to be the second type of atomizer.

[0054] In one or more embodiments, two types of atomizers can be identified, wherein the pins of the first atomizer are shown in Figure 4, and the pins of the second atomizer are shown in Figure 5. During connection, PIN1' to PIN3' correspond one-to-one with the positions of PIN1 to PIN3, and PIN2" to PIN4" correspond one-to-one with the positions of PIN2 to PIN4.

[0055] As can be seen, the pin positions of the two atomizers are different. To make it easier to explain the correspondence, the pins that the atomizers and atomizing devices connect to each other are marked with the same label.

[0056] When a first-type atomizer and atomizing device are connected, only PINs 1 through PIN 3 of the atomizing device are connected, while PIN 4 is not connected. When a second-type atomizer and atomizing device are connected, only PINs 2 through PIN 4 are connected, while PIN 1 is not connected. Therefore, the type of atomizer currently connected can be determined by the connectivity of PINs 1 and PIN 4. The aforementioned first identification pin PIN 1 and second identification pin PIN 4 are also used for message transmission, allowing the atomizing device to send control commands to the atomizer (e.g., an electronic atomizer) or to read data.

[0057] The atomizing device has a space for mounting the atomizer. The atomizer can be directly loaded into the atomizing device through this space. At this time, the aforementioned pins will be connected one by one. Since the first type of atomizer and the second type of atomizer have different pin settings, the second identification pin triggered will also be different, so that the atomizing device can recognize the two types of atomizers.

[0058] It is understandable that the above pin arrangement is only one possible solution. Depending on the actual situation, the orientation, order, function, and position of each pin can vary. For example, in one or more embodiments, the four pins can be arranged in a triangular, grid-like, or circular pattern, etc. As long as the two identification pins correspond to the signal pins of the corresponding type of atomizer, the identification effect can be achieved.

[0059] Step S200: Determine and display the current remaining aerosol amount and / or remaining battery power of the aerosol device based on the type of the currently connected atomizer.

[0060] Different atomizers determine the remaining battery power and remaining aerosol volume in different ways. After obtaining these two sets of data, they will be displayed on the atomizer's display interface to show the user in real time.

[0061] The first type of atomizer has a power module and a control chip inside the power module. Therefore, the first type of atomizer has a calculation function. When the atomizing device is used, the first type of atomizer will automatically calculate the remaining power and remaining aerosol amount in the atomizer based on the usage time and number of uses. This data will be actively transmitted to the atomizing device.

[0062] After receiving this data, the atomizing device can perform corresponding display processing to show the remaining battery power and remaining aerosol level in real time. In addition to displaying the atomizer's battery power and remaining aerosol level, it will also display the atomizing device's own remaining battery power.

[0063] The atomizing device is equipped with a miniature display that can show the remaining battery power and remaining aerosol volume in the form of charts or data. In other words, when a Type I atomizer is connected, the atomizing device does not need to perform calculations; it can directly obtain the calculation results from the Type I atomizer and display the remaining battery power and remaining aerosol volume.

[0064] When a second type of atomizer is connected, this disclosure also provides a control method different from that of the first type of atomizer, as shown in Figure 6, including:

[0065] Step S210: Obtain usage data for the second type of atomizer.

[0066] The difference between Type II atomizers and Type I atomizers, besides the different pin configurations, is that Type II atomizers do not have a battery module or control chip. Therefore, Type II atomizers do not have calculation functions, do not have a power level indicator, and cannot calculate the remaining aerosol data. For this reason, the atomizing device needs to actively acquire the usage data of Type II atomizers, which includes the number of uses and the duration of use.

[0067] The number of uses can be determined by a sensor that detects changes in air pressure within the atomizing device. The duration of use can be determined by timing the device from the moment it is turned on.

[0068] Step S220: Calculate the remaining aerosol amount of the second type of atomizer based on the usage data, and display the remaining aerosol amount on the display interface.

[0069] Since the amount of aerosol consumed each time it is used can be calculated, the number of uses can be used to calculate the aerosol consumption. The remaining aerosol amount can be calculated based on the atomizer's capacity or the amount remaining after the last use. The remaining aerosol amount for the second type of atomizer can then be displayed on the screen.

[0070] In one or more embodiments, when the first type of atomizer is not fully charged, a threshold can be set as a condition for charging operation. For example, charging can be initiated when the battery level is less than a preset threshold. Alternatively, a low battery threshold can be set, and a corresponding low battery warning can be issued when the battery level is less than the low battery threshold. Similarly, when the battery level of the atomizing device is less than the low battery threshold, a corresponding low battery warning will also be issued.

[0071] In one or more embodiments, when the battery level is not found to be full, the atomizing device can charge the atomizer. Specifically, PIN2 and PIN3 are pins used to input current to the atomizer. For example, PIN2 can be used as a power supply pin to input current, and PIN3 can be grounded. Alternatively, the reverse can be used to power the atomizer.

[0072] The nebulizer control method disclosed herein identifies different types of atomizers based on the different connected pins. Since the hardware devices in the two types of atomizers differ, the nebulizer employs different methods for monitoring battery power and aerosol balance, thereby achieving differentiated control of different atomizers. This improves control efficiency and enhances the performance of the nebulizer. In other words, the technical solution disclosed herein enables the nebulizer to identify different types of atomizers, and thus performs different monitoring and control operations based on the characteristics of the atomizer, improving the working efficiency between the nebulizer and the atomizer.

[0073] As shown in Figure 7, this disclosure also provides a control method for an atomizing device, including:

[0074] Step S300: When a gear switching operation is received, a switching signal is output to the currently connected atomizer to overwrite the current set gear of the atomizer;

[0075] The power level of the atomizing device can be adjusted by the user using a control button to switch the current power level. However, this power level is only set in the atomizing device and needs to be applied to the connected atomizer.

[0076] The connection method between the atomizer and the atomizing device in this embodiment is the same as in the previous embodiment. Regardless of whether the atomizer connected to the atomizing device is a first-type atomizer or a second-type atomizer, the power level can be transmitted to the currently connected atomizer through the first identification pin or the second identification pin. After receiving the power level information, the atomizer can overwrite its current setting level, realize the level update, and complete the level adjustment operation.

[0077] The atomizing device control method of this embodiment also provides a gear adjustment function, which achieves gear adjustment of the connected atomizer by sending the adjusted gear information to the connected atomizer.

[0078] As shown in Figure 8, in some embodiments, a method for controlling an atomizer is provided. This method is applied to the first type of atomizer in the aforementioned embodiments, including:

[0079] Step S400: Record usage data and calculate the remaining battery power and remaining aerosol amount based on the usage data.

[0080] The first type of atomizer has a chip (i.e., a control chip inside the battery module), so the number of uses and the duration of use can be recorded and calculated in real time.

[0081] In one or more embodiments, after the first type of atomizer is installed in the atomizing device and activated, it can begin monitoring. A counter records the usage time. Simultaneously, when the user uses the atomizing device, the atomizer consumes aerosol, causing it to atomize and resulting in pressure changes in the airflow path. Based on these pressure changes and the atomizer's atomizing action, the number of uses can be recorded. Based on the recorded usage time and number of uses, the remaining battery power and remaining aerosol volume can be obtained.

[0082] Step S500: When the first type of atomizer is connected to the atomizing device, the remaining power and the remaining aerosol quantity are sent to the atomizing device.

[0083] After the Type 1 atomizer calculates the remaining battery power and remaining aerosol volume, it can send these two data points to the atomizing device via PIN1. This allows the atomizing device to monitor the remaining battery power and remaining aerosol volume of the Type 1 atomizer in real time without having to perform calculations, thus reducing the workload of the atomizing device.

[0084] In one or more embodiments, the first type of atomizer is also provided with an indicator light, as shown in Figure 9. The row where the PIN pin is located can reserve a terminal for the indicator light 300. The indicator light 300 can be installed at the terminal. The indicator light can be an LED light or other light that can be used for indication.

[0085] Because the first type of atomizer can calculate the remaining battery power and remaining aerosol volume itself, it can also automatically determine whether the current battery power or aerosol volume has reached a low level. For example, a low battery threshold can be set. When the remaining battery power is less than the low battery threshold, it is determined to be in a low battery state. At this time, an indicator light can be lit to remind the user that the battery power or aerosol volume is too low.

[0086] In one or more embodiments, a low aerosol threshold can also be set. When the remaining aerosol amount is less than the low aerosol threshold, it is determined to be in a low aerosol state. This can also be indicated by an indicator light. In order to distinguish between the two states of low battery and low aerosol, the red indicator light can be set to indicate the low battery state, the white indicator light can be set to indicate the low aerosol state, and the alternating red and white indicator light can indicate both the low battery and low aerosol states.

[0087] As shown in Figure 10, in some embodiments, a control device 400 is provided for use in an atomizing device, the atomizing device being used to connect an atomizer. The control device 400 includes: an identification module 410, used to determine the type of the currently connected atomizer based on a connected identification pin; and a display module 420, used to determine and display the current remaining aerosol level and / or remaining battery power of the atomizer based on the type of the currently connected atomizer.

[0088] As shown in Figure 11, in some embodiments, a control device 500 is also provided, applied to a first type of atomizer equipped with a power module and a control chip. The control device 500 includes: a calculation module 510, used to record usage data (number of uses and usage duration), and calculate its remaining battery power and remaining aerosol volume based on the usage data (number of uses and usage duration); and a communication module 520, used to send the remaining battery power and remaining aerosol volume to the atomizing device when the first type of atomizer is connected to the atomizing device.
