When the heating body 23 is damaged, the whole electronic atomizing device will be scrapped.
  • In addition, many corrosive and adhesive substances will be released during the heating the tobacco materials. In some heating schemes, as the heating body 23 directly contact with the tobacco materials, tobacco derivative generated by heating may adhere to the surface of the heating body 23 unavoidably, which may contaminate the heating body 23. As a result, the quality of aerosol generated by the heating body 23 may be affected. Assembling schemes of heating body 23 in the related electronic atomizing device may be difficult for cleaning the heating body 23, user could just make a rough cleaning by inserting a brush into a narrow heating chamber for, and the tobacco derivative on the surface of the heating body 23 could hardly be removed thoroughly.

  • Replacing the heating assembly 20 may usually be a spontaneous behavior for the users, there are many kinds of heating assemblies for users to select. The heating body 23 in each kind of the heating assemblies may be different in materials, volumes and shapes, which may cause a different heating performance.

The main body 10 may further include a controlling module 14 arranged on the second circuit board 11. The battery may be coupled to the controlling module 14 and configured to power the heating body 23 under the controlling of the controlling module.
  • In some embodiments, the memory chip 22 may be configured to store heating parameters and transmit the heating parameters to the main body 10, specifically, the controlling module 14. The heating body 23 may be configured to be electrically connected to the main body 10 and heated according to controlling of the main body 10.
  • Specifically, the controlling module 14 may be configured to be coupled to the memory chip 22 and the heating body 23 in condition that the heating assembly 20 is inserted into the main body 10 and connected to the main body 10. The controlling module 14 may be configured to acquire the heating parameters stored in the memory chip 22, and control a temperature of the heating body 23 based on the heating parameters when the heating assembly 20 is electrically connected to the main body 10.
  • In some embodiments, the heating parameters may include a correspondence between a resistance value and a temperature of the heating body 23. Since the memory chip 22 of embodiments of the present disclosure stores the heating parameters, the temperature corresponding to different heating bodies 23 could be controlled in different methods, which could realize a better taste of atomizing the tobacco.
  • Temperatures of the heating body 23 may be changed when the heating body 23 being heated through the power supplied by the battery 13, accordingly, the resistance of the heating body 23 may be changed with the changing of the temperatures. The correspondence between the resistance value and the temperature of the heating body 23 may be called as "temperature (T) - resistance value (R)" curve of the heating body 23. Therefore, the real-time temperature of the heating body 23 can be known as long as the resistance value of the heating body 23 is obtained by real-time monitoring. Since each factor of a heating body, such as, material, manufacturing method and manufacturing device, is different from that of other heating bodies, parameters, such as, the "temperature (T) - resistance value (R)" curve, original resistance value R0, and temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), may be different. In some embodiments, the heating parameters may further include the original resistance value R0 and the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR).
  • In some embodiments, the controlling module 14 may include a detecting module141, a timing module 142 and a controlling module 143. The detecting module141 may be configured to detect a current resistance of the heating body 23.

In some embodiments, the "temperature-time" curve may be stored in the memory chip 22, the controlling module 14 may acquire the "temperature-time" curve when acquiring the heating parameters. In other embodiments, the "temperature-time" curve may be stored in a memory of the main body 10, the controlling module 14 could acquire the "temperature-time" curve from the memory.
  • The working-time information of the electronic atomizing device may be the working time of the electronic atomizing device accumulated from the electronic atomizing device begins to work.
  • The detecting module 141 may detect the current resistance of the heating body 23 by calculating from parameters such as current and voltage and so on. In other embodiments, the resistance may be detected by other ways, for example, resonance method, ohmmeter method, DC bridge method, digital ohmmeter method and so on, which is not limited herein.
  • In some embodiments, the controlling module 143 may control the temperature of the heating body 23 based on the preset "temperature-time" curve and adapting the PID algorithm.
  • Embodiments of the present disclosure may be described below through a specific scenario.
  • When the user needs to use the electronic atomizing device, the heating assembly 20 may be firstly inserted into the main body 10 such that the heating assembly 20 is electrically connected to the main body 10. In some embodiments, a switch button on the main body 10 may be turn on, such that the controlling module 14 could be electrically connected to the memory chip 22 and the heating body 23, and the electronic atomizing device begins to work.
  • The controlling module 143 may acquire the correspondence between the resistance of the heating body 23 and the temperature of the heating body 23 from the memory chip 22. The timing module 142 may begin to reckon by time. The detecting module 141 may detect the current resistance of the heating body 23 and transmit the current resistance of the heating body 23 to the controlling module 143. The controlling module 143 may further obtain the real-time temperature of the heating body 23 based on the current resistance of the heating body 23 and the correspondence between the resistance of the heating body 23 and the temperature of the heating body 23. The controlling module 141 may control the voltage supplied to the heating body 23 based on the "temperature-time" curve, so as to control the temperature of the heating body 23.
  • It could be understood that, in order to have a good taste, different temperatures may be acquired in different time. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, abscissa represents time and ordinate represents temperature.
  • In the period of T0 to T1, the heating body 23 may be heated, the temperature of the heating body 23 may be raised from a room temperature W0 to W1.
  • In the period of T1 to T2, the temperature of the heating body 23 may be maintained at W1.
  • In the period of T2 to T3, the temperature of the heating body 23 may be reduced from W1 to W2.
  • In the period of T3 to T4, the temperature of the heating body 23 may be maintained at W2.
  • After T4, the temperature of the heating body 23 may be reduced from W2 to room temperature.
  • In some embodiments, T1 may be 5-10s, T2 may be 12-18s, W1 may be 320-360°C, and W2 may be 300-340°C.
  • In some embodiments, T1=7s, T2=15s, W1=340°C, W2=320°C. Suppose the temperature of heating body 23 is reduced by 1°C, the resistance of the heating body 23 may be reduced 2.28 mΩ correspondingly. In the condition that the temperature is reduced from W1 to W2, that is, the temperature is dropped by 20 °C, the resistance may need to be reduced by 202.28 mΩ.
  • Moreover, the heating temperature of the heating body may be controlled through electric energy by changing pulse frequency, pulse amplitude or duty ratio of the electricity supplied to the heating body 23. Referring to FIG. 6, for example, an enabling switch may be turn on in the t1 period, the battery may provide electric energy to the heating body. The enabling switch may be turn off in the t2 period, the battery may not provide electric energy to the heating body. Therefore, the temperature of the heating body may be adjusted by adjusting the percentage of tl in the period T. Specifically, the temperature of the heating body may be raised by increasing the duty ratio if tl, and be lowered by decreasing the duty ratio of tl.
