Atomizer Control Circuit for Dual-Flavor Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dual-flavor electronic cigarettes require frequent replacement of atomizers, leading to inconvenience and potential damage to parts, affecting the product's service life.
Innovation Solution
An atomizer control circuit that allows users to switch between atomizers by a trigger key, avoiding repeated removal and insertion, with a detection module and main control module to ensure only a functioning atomizer is activated, thus preventing damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users frequently remove and insert atomizers to switch flavors, then flavor variety is achieved, but part damage increases and service life decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The atomizer assembly is divided into two independent atomizers (first atomizer and second atomizer) that can be selectively activated. Each atomizer has its own detection module and atomization module, allowing users to switch between flavors by selecting different atomizers rather than removing and reinserting the entire atomizer assembly, thus reducing mechanical wear on connectors.
Solution Approach 2:
The dual-flavor atomizer assembly serves multiple functions by integrating two atomizers with different flavors into a single device. The main control module coordinates both atomizers through detection modules, enabling the device to provide multiple flavor options without requiring physical replacement of the atomizer assembly, thereby extending the service life of the device.
2Reliability
If detection modules continuously monitor atomizer status, then reliable operation is ensured, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detection modules operate periodically rather than continuously. Each detection module activates the corresponding atomizer and performs status detection only when needed (e.g., when the user presses the trigger key or when switching between flavors). This periodic operation maintains reliable monitoring of atomizer status while significantly reducing overall energy consumption compared to continuous monitoring.

AI summary
An atomizer control circuit and an electronic cigarette are disclosed. The atomizer control circuit includes a first atomization module, a second atomization module, a detection module, a main control module, and a touch module. The first atomization module is configured to control a first atomizer. The second atomization module is configured to control a second atomizer. The detection module is configured to turn on the first atomizer or the second atomizer according to an operation action of a user and output a turn-on signal. The main control module is configured to output a detection signal according to the turn-on signal. The detection module is further configured to detect the first atomizer or the second atomizer according to the detection signal. The touch module is configured to generate a trigger signal.
