Detailed ways

In order to further explain the technical methods and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the intended purpose of the present invention, the specific implementation, structure, features, and effects of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for determining an output power of an electronic cigarette according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the method for determining the output power of an electronic cigarette in this embodiment includes the following steps:

Step 110: Obtain the resistance value of the heating element.

The atomizer of the electronic cigarette includes an atomizing head and a liquid storage assembly with a liquid storage cavity. The atomizing head is provided with a heating element and a liquid absorption element, and the liquid absorption element sucks the smoke liquid from the liquid storage cavity through the liquid inlet channel. The heating element is supplied to heat the cigarette. The electronic cigarette may be provided with a heating element detection circuit. The heating element detection circuit is connected to the atomizing circuit of the electronic cigarette, and is used to detect whether the heating element is connected to the atomizing circuit. The atomizing circuit is arranged in the battery device of the electronic cigarette and communicates with the battery device. The heating element is usually installed in the slot of the atomizer first. When the atomizer is connected to the battery device of the electronic cigarette, the heating element is connected. Atomization circuit. When the heating element is connected to the atomization circuit, a current pulse signal will be generated due to the sudden change of the resistance in the circuit. When the current pulse signal is detected, it can be confirmed that the heating element and the atomization head are connected to the atomization circuit. Or atomizer, so as to further obtain the resistance value of the heating element. In actual implementation, the current pulse signal only needs to be detected, and there is no need to determine a specific current value.

In an embodiment, the process of obtaining the resistance value of the heating element may specifically include:

Reading the resistance value or model of the heating element stored in the atomizer or the storage chip in the atomizing head, or receiving the resistance value or model of the heating element input by the user;

When the type of the heating element is obtained, the resistance value of the heating element is obtained according to the type of the heating element.

The process of obtaining the resistance value of the heating element according to the type of the heating element may specifically include:

Send a request for obtaining the resistance value of the heating element to the server according to the model of the heating element and receive the resistance value of the heating element returned by the server; or,

According to the correspondence between the types and resistance values of different heating elements stored locally, query the resistance values of the heating elements corresponding to the types of heating elements obtained.

In actual implementation, as an implementation manner, when a heating element, an atomizing head, or an atomizer is inserted into an electronic cigarette, the memory chip of the atomizing head or the atomizer can be read out and read out through a data transmission pin on the electronic cigarette. The resistance value or model of the heating element stored in the storage unit. When the user replaces the heating element in the atomizing head or the atomizer, the atomizing head or the atomizer can be connected to an external control device, such as a mobile phone or a computer. The resistance value of the heating element stored in the memory chip is modified through the operation of the mobile phone or the computer. In this way, when the atomizing head or the atomizer that has replaced the heating element is installed in the battery device, the data on the electronic cigarette can also be used. The transmission pin reads the resistance value or model of the heating element stored in the memory chip of the atomizer. As another implementation manner, when the heating element detection circuit detects that a heating element is connected to the heating element circuit, a resistance value input interface or a model input interface is displayed on the touch display screen, and the user can input the resistance value or model on the input interface. The electronic cigarette can obtain the resistance value or model of the heating element after the user determines that the input is completed.

When the type of the heating element is obtained, the resistance value of the corresponding heating element can be found locally or on the server according to the type of the heating element. Wherein, if the resistance value of the corresponding heating element is found on the server, the wireless communication module on the electronic cigarette sends a request for obtaining the resistance value of the heating element to the server and receives the resistance value of the heating element returned by the server. The wireless communication unit is, for example, Wireless fidelity (Wireless Fidelity, WIFI) modules, 2G / 3G / 4G network communication modules and other modules that can achieve wireless communication, this embodiment is not limited to this, the server can store various types of heating element resistance Value, when the user enters the type of the heating element through the touch screen, the server is connected via wireless communication to query the resistance value of the corresponding heating element. This method is especially suitable for the case of replacing heating elements or atomizers of different manufacturers. If you look up the parameters of the corresponding heating element locally, you can query the resistance value of the heating element corresponding to the received model according to the correspondence between the types and resistance values of different heating elements stored locally. This method is especially applicable In the case of replacing heating parts or atomizers from the same manufacturer.

In another embodiment, the process of obtaining the resistance value of the heating element may specifically include:

Output detection voltage to the heating element;

Calculate the resistance of the heating element based on the value of the detected current.

Among them, when the heating element is detected in the atomizing circuit, a detection voltage is output to both ends of the heating element through a resistance detection circuit integrated in the electronic cigarette, for example, 1V, and the starting hot element can be calculated by detecting the corresponding current. Resistance value. In this way, even if the type or resistance value of the heating wire cannot be found, and the user cannot know the resistance value or type of the heating element, the electronic cigarette can automatically detect the resistance value of the starting heating element.

Step 120: Determine a first output power range that matches the acquired resistance value.

The first output power range is a power range with a good amount of smoke at the resistance value determined according to the resistance value of the heating element, which can be determined according to the empirical value and the rated maximum power of the electronic cigarette. In actual implementation, as an implementation manner, the memory chip of the electronic cigarette stores a corresponding relationship between the resistance value of the heating element and the first output power range. When the output voltage of the electronic cigarette is constant, the resistance value of the heating element There is usually a negative correlation with the output power, that is, the larger the resistance value of the heating element, the smaller the matching output power. The upper limit of the first output power range should be lower than the rated maximum power of the electronic cigarette. After the resistance value of the component, the matching first output power range can be determined according to the corresponding relationship between the resistance value of the heating element and the first output power range. As another implementation manner, an optimal smoke power output power can also be calculated according to a preset calculation formula and the obtained resistance value, and then the set wattage fluctuates up and down based on the calculated output power. The first output power range is obtained. For example, the optimal output power of the smoke volume is 6W, and then the set wattage is fluctuated up and down based on 6W. For example, 2W is fluctuated up and down to finally obtain the first output power. The range is 4-8W.

Step 130: Determine the second output power range according to the first output power range and the use parameter of the electronic cigarette. The use parameter includes at least one of the remaining power of the battery, the use time of the battery, and the use time of the atomizing head.

In an embodiment, determining the second output power range according to the first output power range and the use parameters of the electronic cigarette may specifically include:

Obtain the use parameters of the electronic cigarette;

Determine the output power range corresponding to each obtained use parameter according to the correspondence between the use parameter and the output power range;

The second output power range is determined according to the output power range corresponding to the first output power range and each use parameter.

In addition to the storage chip in the atomizer, another storage chip can be set in the cigarette body of the electronic cigarette. The storage chip is used to store the relevant parameters of the electronic cigarette, including but not limited to the storage of the use parameters of the electronic cigarette and the use parameters of the electronic cigarette. It can reflect whether the current use status of the electronic cigarette is good, such as whether the power is about to run out, whether the battery life or the life of the atomizing head has reached the limit, etc. Among them, the remaining power of the battery can be directly detected, and the battery life is the first time from the battery The accumulated time after the start of use. Because the battery commonly used in electronic cigarettes is a rechargeable battery, the battery can be repeatedly charged and used. Therefore, the battery life is not related to the number of times the battery is charged. Of course, the use parameters of the electronic cigarette can also include the battery The number of recharging times and the usage time of the atomizing head is the accumulated time from the first use of the atomizing head. Since the heating element is an important component of the atomizing head, it is generally considered that the operating time of the atomizing head is equivalent to that of the heating element.

In this embodiment, the memory chip of the electronic cigarette stores the correspondence between the use parameter and the output power range, or the correspondence between the range of the use parameter and the output power range. Among them, the remaining power of the battery has a positive correlation with the output power, that is, the more the remaining power, the larger the upper limit of the output power. The battery life and the use time of the atomizing head have a negative correlation with the output power, that is, The longer the use time, the smaller the output power, thereby ensuring the safe use of the electronic cigarette. When determining the corresponding relationship between the use parameter and the output power range, the output power range corresponding to the remaining power should be the power range that enables the electronic cigarette to perform energy saving output and can emit smoke under the remaining power. Exceeding this power range may cause the electronic cigarette The power consumption is too fast, which seriously affects the use time of the electronic cigarette, or the power is too low to atomize the smoke liquid. The output power range corresponding to the battery use time should be a safe power range that will not cause battery damage during the use time. The range may result in safety problems caused by battery damage. The output power range corresponding to the length of use of the atomizing head should be a safe power range in which the atomizing head will not be damaged during the usage time. Exceeding this power range may cause the atomizing head to burn out.

After obtaining the use parameters of the electronic cigarette, the output power range corresponding to the current use parameter can be determined according to the corresponding relationship between each use parameter and the output power range, and then the output power corresponding to each use parameter is determined according to the first output power range. The range determines the second output power range. In this embodiment, the second output power range is determined according to a range relationship between the first output power range and the output power range corresponding to each use parameter, and the range relationship includes an intersection between the power ranges. The power value magnitude relationship between the relationship and / or the power range. It should be understood that when the second output power range is obtained through the intersection, it may be a numerical interval or a specific value. The intersection relationship between the power ranges refers to the intersection between the power ranges and the intersection between the power ranges. The power value relationship between each power range, the power value size relationship between the power ranges refers to the size relationship obtained by comparing the power value contained in one power range with the power value contained in another power range. The actual implementation When the power value relationship between the power ranges can be obtained by comparing the upper limit value of the power range, for example, the upper limit value 5W of the power range 2-5W is less than the upper limit value 7W of the power range 0-7W. 2-5W is less than the power range 0-7W, and for example, the upper limit of the power range 2-5W 5W is less than the upper limit of the power range 3-7W 7W, then the power range 2-5W is considered to be less than the power range 3-7W, and for example If the upper limit value 4W of the power range 2-4W is smaller than the upper limit value 7W of the power range 5-7W, the power range 2-4W is considered to be smaller than the power range 5-7W. It should be noted that comparing the upper limit value of the power range only determines the power value relationship between the power ranges. When the second output power range is finally determined, in addition to comparing the upper limit value of the power range, you can also At the same time, the relationship between the lower limit value of the power range is considered, because the size of the lower limit value is closely related to the user's suction experience. At the same time, the upper limit value and the lower limit value can be considered to have both higher safety and better Suction effect.

In an embodiment, determining the second output power range according to the first output power range and the output power range corresponding to each use parameter includes:

If the output power range corresponding to each use parameter has an intersection with the first output power range, then the power range with the smallest upper limit value is selected from the obtained intersection set as the second output power range;

If part of the output power range corresponding to each use parameter has an intersection with the first output power range, the power range with the smallest upper limit value is selected from the output power range that has no intersection with the first output power range and the obtained intersection set as the second Output power range

If the output power range corresponding to each use parameter does not have an intersection with the first output power range, the power range with the smallest upper limit value or the smallest lower limit value is selected from the output power range and the first output power range corresponding to each use parameter. As the second output power range.

After determining the output power range corresponding to the current use parameter, multiple output power ranges including the first output power range and the output power range corresponding to each use parameter can be obtained. By combining these output power ranges, The intersection of the intersection relationship and the power value between the power range determines the second output power range, which can make the second output power range and the electronic cigarette currently installed in the heating element and the use state to achieve a good matching state. In actual implementation, the intersection of the output power range corresponding to each use parameter and the first output power range includes all intersections, some intersections or no intersections, and the principle of selecting a smaller value to ensure the safe use of electronic cigarettes in combination with the output power. A second output power range corresponding to different intersection situations can be determined.

When the output power range corresponding to each use parameter has an intersection with the first output power range, the power range with the smallest upper limit value in the intersection set is selected as the second output power range. At this time, the second output power range can be E-cigarettes have better smoking effect and higher safety. For example, the output power range corresponding to the remaining battery power is 1-3W, the output power range corresponding to the use time of the battery is 2-6W, the output power range corresponding to the use time of the atomizing head is 3-5W, and the first output power The output power range corresponding to the range is 2-4W, then the intersection of the output power range corresponding to each use parameter and the first output power range is 2-3W, 2-4W, and 3-4W. At this time, 2-3W, The minimum output power range of 2-4W and 3-4W is 2-3W as the second output power range. When part of the output power range corresponding to each use parameter has an intersection with the first output power range, the power range with the smallest upper limit value is selected from the output power range that does not have the intersection with the first output power range and the obtained intersection set as the first Two output power ranges. At this time, the second output power range has a better smoking effect under the premise of safe use of the electronic cigarette. For example, the output power range corresponding to the remaining power of the battery is 1-3W, the output power range corresponding to the use time of the battery is 5-7W, the output power range corresponding to the use time of the atomizing head is 3-5W, and the first output power The output power range corresponding to the range is 2-4W, then there is no intersection between the output power range corresponding to the battery usage time and the output power range corresponding to the first output power range. The remaining battery power and the use time of the atomizing head are The intersection of an output power range is 2-3W and 3-4W, respectively. At this time, the power range 2-3W with the smallest upper limit among 5-7W, 2-3W, and 3-4W is selected as the second output power range. If the output power range corresponding to each use parameter does not have an intersection with the first output power range, then the power range with the smallest upper limit value is selected from the output power range and the first output power range corresponding to each use parameter as the second output power. Range, at this time, the second output power range may be one of the first output power range or the output power range corresponding to each use parameter, so that the electronic cigarette has a better smoking effect under the premise of safe use. For example, the output power range corresponding to the remaining power of the battery is 5-6W, the output power range corresponding to the use time of the battery is 5-7W, the output power range corresponding to the use time of the atomizing head is 6-8W, and the first output power The output power range corresponding to the range is 2-4W, then the output power range corresponding to each use parameter does not have an intersection with the first output power range. At this time, 5-6W, 5-7W, 6-8W, 2-4W are selected. The power range with the smallest middle and upper limit value is 2-4W as the second output power range. In addition, since the output power range corresponding to each use parameter does not have an intersection with the first output power range, the lower limit value of the power range with the smallest upper limit value is also the smallest, so you can also choose 5- by comparing the lower limit values. 6W, 5-7W, 6-8W, and 2-4W have a minimum power range of 2-4W as the second output power range.

In an embodiment, determining the second output power range according to the first output power range and the output power range corresponding to each use parameter includes:

If the intersection between the output power range portion corresponding to each use parameter and the first output power range is not empty, the intersection between the output power range portion corresponding to each use parameter and the first output power range is used as the second output Power range.

If the intersection between the output power range and the first output power range corresponding to each use parameter is empty, after calculating the intersection between the output power ranges with the intersection, select the upper output power range without the intersection The power range with the smallest limit is used as the second output power range.

Wherein, if the intersection between the output power range portion corresponding to each use parameter and the first output power range is not empty, the intersection between the output power range portion corresponding to each use parameter and the first output power range is used as the first Two output power ranges. For example, the output power range corresponding to the remaining power of the battery is 1-4W, the output power range corresponding to the use time of the battery is 2-6W, the output power range corresponding to the use time of the atomizing head is 3-5W, and the first output power The output power range corresponding to the range is 2-4W, then the intersection between the intersection of the output power range corresponding to each use parameter and the first output power range is 3-4W, and the intersection is not empty. At this time, 3-4W is used as the first The two output power ranges allow the determination of the power range to take into account both the upper and lower limit values, which can have a good suction effect while satisfying safe use.

If the intersection between the output power range and the first output power range corresponding to each use parameter is empty, after calculating the intersection between the output power ranges with the intersection, select the upper output power range without the intersection The power range with the smallest limit is used as the second output power range. For example, the output power range corresponding to the remaining power of the battery is 5-6W, the output power range corresponding to the use time of the battery is 5-7W, the output power range corresponding to the use time of the atomizing head is 6-8W, and the first output power The output power range corresponding to the range is 2-4W, where the intersection between 5-6W, 5-7W, and 6-8W is 6W, and the calculated intersection 6W and 2-4W are output power ranges without intersection, so The intersection between the output power range corresponding to each use parameter and the first output power range is empty. At this time, the power range with the smallest upper limit value is selected from the obtained output power ranges 6W and 2-4W without intersections. 2-4W As the second output power range. As another example, the output power range corresponding to the remaining power of the battery is 5-6W, the output power range corresponding to the use time of the battery is 7-8W, the output power range corresponding to the use time of the atomizing head is 9-10W, and the first output The output power range corresponding to the power range is 2-4W, then the intersection between 5-6W, 7-8W, 9-10W, and 2-4W is an empty set. The empty set does not contain any elements. The output power range is 5-6W, 7-8W, 9-10W, 2-4W. At this time, the power range with the smallest upper limit value is selected from 5-6W, 7-8W, 9-10W, 2-4W. 2-4W As the second output power range. In both cases, the determination process of the second output power range takes into account both the upper limit value and the lower limit value, which can have a good suction effect while satisfying safe use. It should be understood that the method for determining the second output power range according to the first output power range and the use parameter of the electronic cigarette is not limited to this. For example, the determination method may also be to determine a correction coefficient for the first output power range according to the use parameter of the electronic cigarette. The second output power range is obtained by correcting the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first output power range by using a correction coefficient, wherein the correction coefficient has a negative correlation with the remaining power of the battery, that is, the more the remaining power is corrected The lower the coefficient, the correction coefficient has a positive correlation with the use time of the battery and the atomizing head, that is, the longer the use time, the higher the correction coefficient. After obtaining the correction coefficient corresponding to each use parameter, the largest of all correction coefficients is taken. The value modifies the first output power range, so that the determined second output power range has a better smoking effect under the premise of safe use of the electronic cigarette. In addition, the correction of the first output power range can be performed only when the remaining power is lower than the threshold and the usage time of the battery or the atomizing head exceeds the threshold, that is, when the remaining power, the use of the battery or the atomizing head still meets safety When the electronic cigarette is used, the first output power range is not corrected.

Step 140: Determine the output power of the electronic cigarette according to the second output power range.

In an embodiment, determining the output power of the electronic cigarette according to the second output power range includes:

Displaying the second output power range, or displaying at least one recommended power determined according to the second output power range;

The output power of the electronic cigarette is determined according to the operation information for the second output power range or at least one recommended power.

In an embodiment, determining the output power of the electronic cigarette according to the operation information for the second output power range or at least one recommended power includes:

When displaying the second output power range, the power value input by the user is received. If the power value is within the second output power range, the power value is used as the output power of the electronic cigarette. If the power value is not within the second output power range, Within, it will output a message indicating that the power value input failed;

When at least one recommended power determined according to the second output power range is displayed and operation information for confirming the recommended power is received, the confirmed recommended power is used as the output power of the electronic cigarette.

After the second output power range is determined, the second output power range can be directly displayed on the display screen of the electronic cigarette or the display screen of the smart terminal connected to the electronic cigarette, and the user can input a certain range within the range. Value, if the input value is within the range, the value entered by the user is taken as the output power of the electronic cigarette, and if the input value is out of the range, a prompt message of input failure is displayed. In addition, after the second output power range is determined, at least one power may be randomly selected within the second output power range and displayed on the display screen to recommend it to the user. If the user selects one of the powers by operating the electronic cigarette, the user is selected to confirm The power of the electronic cigarette is used as the output power of the electronic cigarette. If the user is not satisfied with the recommended power, the user can modify it within the second output power range, and use the power value modified by the user as the output power of the electronic cigarette.
