Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional atomization devices experience poor atomization effects and operating performance due to sharp temperature rises and condensate formation in the atomizer when immediate communication and heating occur upon connection to the battery assembly, leading to smoke and noise.

Innovation Solution

The method involves detecting a puffing action to read atomizer parameters before heating, utilizing airflow to clear smoke and stabilize the heating element temperature, ensuring accurate atomization and improved device performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If communication is performed immediately after the atomizer is connected to the battery assembly, then data can be read to control the atomizer, but the heating element temperature rises sharply causing smoke, condensate formation, and poor atomization effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveatomization effectVSAvoidheating element temperature
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by detecting a puffing action before reading atomizer parameters and initiating heating. The airflow from the puffing action is utilized in advance to clear smoke and prevent condensate formation, stabilizing the heating element temperature before the actual atomization process begins. This sequence ensures that communication and parameter reading occur under optimal temperature conditions, avoiding sharp temperature rises and smoke generation.

Inventive Principle:

2Productivity

If heating is initiated immediately upon connection, then atomization can begin, but condensate forms inside the atomizer affecting operating performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveatomization speedVSAvoidcondensate formation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by using the airflow generated from a detected puffing action to counteract the formation of condensate before heating begins. The user's puffing action creates airflow that clears smoke and prevents condensate accumulation inside the atomizer, thereby eliminating the harmful effect before it can occur during the heating and atomization process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

3Temperature

If parameter reading is delayed until after puffing action, then temperature stability is improved, but additional time is required before heating can begin

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemperature stabilityVSAvoidtime to start heating
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by utilizing the user's own puffing action as the trigger to initiate parameter reading and heating. The puffing action serves dual purposes: it provides the necessary airflow to clear smoke and stabilize temperature, and simultaneously triggers the control method to read parameters and begin heating. This eliminates the need for separate delay periods or additional user actions, making the time investment minimal and self-justifying.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

This application relates to a method for controlling an atomization device, an atomization device, and a readable storage medium. The atomization device includes an atomizer and a battery assembly. The atomizer accommodates an aerosol substrate therein. The atomizer includes a heating element for atomizing the aerosol substrate and a chip storing an atomizer parameter. The chip and the heating element are arranged in parallel and connected to the battery assembly. The battery assembly first detects whether the atomizer is connected. If the atomizer has been connected to the battery assembly, the atomizer parameter is read after a puffing action is detected, and the atomizer is heated based on the atomizer parameter.
