Example 1:

referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an operating environment of an aerosol generating device according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, an aerosol generating device 10 according to this embodiment includes an atomizer 11, a power supply assembly 12, and a connector 13 connecting the atomizer 11 and the power supply assembly 12, where the connector 13 may be a Type-C connector, a Type-B connector, or a USB connector, and the atomizer 11 has an oil chamber, a suction nozzle, and a heating assembly (not shown in the drawings), and the power supply assembly 12 supplies power to the heating assembly through the connector 13, so that the heating assembly heats an aerosol substrate in the oil chamber, and generates an aerosol for a user to suck the aerosol from the suction nozzle.

Optionally, with continuing reference to fig. 1, the aerosol-generating device 10 provided in this embodiment may further be in communication connection with a terminal 20, where the terminal 20 may be a PC, or may also be a mobile terminal device such as a smart phone, a smart watch, a tablet computer, or a portable computer, and the like, so as to manage the aerosol-generating device 10 through the mobile terminal 20, for example, record data such as the number of times of suction of a user on the aerosol-generating device 10, the remaining condition of the aerosol substrate in an oil cavity, or the power condition of the aerosol-generating device 10, and the data is stored in a memory (not shown in the figure) of the aerosol-generating device 10, so that after the mobile terminal 20 is successfully bluetooth-paired with the aerosol-generating device 10, the data stored in the memory of the aerosol-generating device 10 can be obtained in real time.

It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the aerosol generating device shown in figure 1 is not to be construed as limiting and may include more or fewer components than those shown, or some components may be combined, or a different arrangement of components.

The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to specific embodiments and drawings.

Example 2:

the working power of the existing aerosol generating device shown in fig. 1 is generally constant, and no matter how much and little aerosol substrate remains in the oil chamber, or how much and little remaining power of the aerosol generating device is, or when there is a need for a user to change the working power of the aerosol generating device, the existing aerosol generating device cannot select different working states of the aerosol generating device according to actual conditions (e.g., the amount of the aerosol substrate remaining in the oil chamber is small or the remaining power of the aerosol generating device is small) or the user needs different powers (e.g., the user wants a working state with lower power), so the existing aerosol generating device cannot meet the user's needs for different powers according to the actual conditions, thereby reducing the user's experience in using the aerosol generating device.

Based on the above-mentioned technical problems of the prior art, an embodiment of the present invention provides a device status management method applied to an aerosol-generating device to control an operating status of the aerosol-generating device, where the aerosol-generating device includes an atomizer and a power supply component, the atomizer includes a heating component, and a first sensor for sensing a concentration of an aerosol generated by the atomizer, see fig. 2, and fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of the device status management method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the device status management method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes steps 201 to 204;

step 201, determining a current working state of the aerosol generating device according to the current heating power of the heating assembly.

The heating assembly in the embodiment is an electronic assembly composed of a plurality of electric heating elements for heating, and one or more electric heating elements can be controlled to work independently or simultaneously by respectively controlling the plurality of electric heating elements; in addition, different currents/voltages can be provided for one or more electric heating elements in the heating assembly, so that the purpose that the heating assembly is controlled to work at different heating powers is achieved.

In this embodiment, the aerosol generating apparatus provided in this embodiment has a plurality of operating modes, each operating mode corresponds to a heating power of the heating element, for example, the aerosol generating apparatus provided in this embodiment has a normal mode and a power saving mode, and the heating element may be 2 electric heating elements, so that 2 electric heating elements in the aerosol generating apparatus perform heating operation simultaneously in the normal mode, and only one electric heating element in the aerosol generating apparatus performs heating operation in the power saving mode. Therefore, when the aerosol generating device works, the current working state of the aerosol generating device can be determined by detecting the working state of the electric heating element in the heating assembly, namely according to the detected heating power of the heating assembly, for example, when 2 electric heating elements are detected to simultaneously perform heating work, the current working state of the aerosol generating device is determined to be a normal mode; and when only 1 electric heating element is detected to be in heating operation, determining that the current working state of the aerosol generating equipment is a power saving mode.

In addition, when the aerosol generating device works, the current/voltage of the electric heating element in the heating assembly is detected to determine the heating power of the heating assembly according to the detected current/voltage value, so as to determine the current working state of the aerosol generating device, for example, when the current/voltage of the electric heating element working in the heating assembly is detected to be greater than or equal to a preset target threshold value, the current working state of the aerosol generating device is determined to be a normal mode; and when the current/voltage of the electric heating element working in the heating assembly is detected to be smaller than a preset target threshold, determining that the current working state of the aerosol generating equipment is a power saving mode.

At step 202, a current concentration of aerosol generated by the nebulizer is sensed by a first sensor.

The aerosol generated by the atomizer is sensed in real time through the gas concentration sensor, so that the concentration of the aerosol generated by the aerosol generating equipment each time can be obtained.

And 203, generating a target state switching instruction when the actual concentration matched with the current working state meets a preset relation.

In this embodiment, the aerosol generating device provided by this embodiment can generate aerosols with different concentrations in different operating states, for example, when the aerosol generating device is in a normal mode, since 2 electric heating elements perform heating operation simultaneously, aerosol with higher concentration can be generated, so that a user can experience the sensation of big smoke; when the aerosol generating equipment is in a power-saving mode, only 1 electric heating element is used for heating, so that only aerosol with smaller concentration can be generated, the aim of saving aerosol base materials is fulfilled, and the working time of the aerosol generating equipment can be prolonged.

Because the aerosol generating equipment can correspondingly generate the same aerosol concentration under different working states, different target state switching instructions can be determined and generated by detecting the actual concentration of the current concentration matched with the current working state of the aerosol generating equipment, and the instructions can be used for controlling the aerosol generating equipment to switch the corresponding target working state, so that the requirements of users on different powers are met.

It should be noted that the operation modes of the aerosol generating apparatus provided in this embodiment are not limited to the normal mode and the power saving mode mentioned in the above embodiments, and the number of the electric heating elements in the heating assembly is not limited to 2, specifically, a person skilled in the art can set different operation modes of the aerosol generating apparatus in different practical application scenarios, and can also set multiple operation modes for the aerosol generating apparatus according to the actual number of the electric heating elements in the power assembly, and the specific setting modes are not illustrated here.

And 204, controlling the output power of the power supply assembly to enable the heating assembly to heat at the target power based on the target state switching instruction, so that the aerosol generating equipment is in the target working state.

In this embodiment, after the aerosol generating device generates the target state switching instruction, the current operating state is automatically switched to the target operating state, and the power supply module is controlled to adjust the output power of the power supply module to the output power that the target operating state should have, so that the heating module can perform heating operation with the target power in the target operating state, and further the aerosol generating device is in the target operating state, thereby achieving the purpose of switching the operating state of the aerosol generating device.

The device state management method provided by the present embodiment will be described in a specific application scenario as follows:

in one embodiment, step 203 specifically includes: and when the current concentration is smaller than the actual concentration matched with the current working state, generating a first state switching instruction. Step 204 specifically includes: based on the first state switching instruction, the output power of the power supply component is reduced to enable the heating component to heat at the first power.

In this embodiment, when it is detected that the concentration of the aerosol currently generated by the aerosol generating device is low, but the current working state of the aerosol generating device is a normal state, the actual aerosol concentration correspondingly generated by the aerosol generating device should be high and higher than the current aerosol concentration, so that it can be determined that the heating element cannot be sufficiently contacted with the aerosol substrate, that is, the current aerosol substrate is low, the aerosol generating device generates a power saving state switching instruction, and the aerosol generating device is controlled to switch the working state of the current normal mode to the working state of the power saving mode according to the power saving state switching instruction, thereby avoiding invalid work performed by the heating element, and achieving the purpose of saving electric energy.

Specifically, after the aerosol generating device in the normal mode generates the power saving state switching instruction, the aerosol generating device can automatically switch the current working state of the normal mode to the working state of the power saving mode, and simultaneously, the power supply assembly is controlled to adjust the larger output power to the smaller output power, so that the number of the electric heating elements in the heating assembly working is reduced, the heating assembly is heated by the smaller output power, and the aerosol generating device is in the working state of the power saving mode.

In the present embodiment, please refer to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of an atomizer according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, the atomizer 30 further includes an oil chamber 31 for storing an aerosol substrate, a second sensor 32 and a third sensor 33 for detecting a liquid level 40 of the aerosol substrate are disposed in the oil chamber 31, the heating assembly is disposed in the oil chamber, the heating assembly includes a first heating wire 34 disposed at a first position in the oil chamber and a second heating wire 35 disposed at a second position in the oil chamber, the second sensor 32 is disposed at the first position to detect whether the liquid level 40 of the aerosol substrate is beyond the first position, and the third sensor 33 is disposed at the second position to detect whether the liquid level 40 of the aerosol substrate is beyond the second position; the first state switching instruction includes a second state switching instruction.

With reference to fig. 3, step 203 further includes: when the current concentration is smaller than the actual concentration matched with the current working state, the second sensor 32 detects that the liquid level 40 of the aerosol substrate does not exceed the first position, and the third sensor 33 detects that the liquid level 40 of the aerosol substrate does not exceed the second position, a second state switching instruction is generated; step 204 further specifically includes: based on the second state switching instruction, the output power of the power supply assembly is reduced to control the first heating wire 34 to operate, and the second heating wire 35 to stop operating.

It should be noted that the first heating wire/the second heating wire are both formed by one or more electric heating elements for heating, and the electric heating elements may be iron-chromium-aluminum heating wires or nickel-chromium heating wires, or elements formed by combining the two, where the heating material of the electric heating elements is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

Similarly, when the aerosol generating device is in an inclined state, the liquid level 40 of the aerosol substrate only does not exceed the second heating wire 35 and does not exceed the first heating wire 34, and it is detected that the concentration of the aerosol generated by the aerosol generating device is less than the actual concentration matched with the current working state, a third state switching instruction is generated, so that the aerosol generating device can be controlled to reduce the output power of the power supply component, the second heating wire 35 is controlled to work, and the first heating wire 34 is controlled to stop working.
