Specific embodiment
In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, right
The present invention is further elaborated.It should be appreciated that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention, and
It is not used in the restriction present invention.
Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein and belong to technical field of the invention
The normally understood meaning of technical staff is identical.Term as used herein in the specification of the present invention is intended merely to description tool
The purpose of the embodiment of body, it is not intended that the limitation present invention.It is appreciated that term " first " used in the present invention, " second "
Etc. can be used to describe various elements herein, but these elements should not be limited by these terms.These terms are only used to by first
A element and another element are distinguished.For example, in the case where not departing from scope of the present application, first element can be claimed
It can be first element by second element for second element, and similarly.First element and second element both element, but
It is not identity element.
It relies primarily on to solve smoke grenade detection in conditional electronic cigarette by detecting whether cover board is closed or relies on independent biography
The drawbacks of sensor detects, and it is especially set out with a kind of smoke grenade condition detecting system and corresponding method, it is based primarily upon difference
The difference of the thermal conductivity of heat medium, is judged.
It is air around heater when smoke grenade zero load;It is tobacco leaf around heater after smoke grenade insertion;Exhaust rear heater week
Enclose is burned sheet or powder.
According to Fourier's law, the definition of thermal conductivity are as follows:
Wherein, x is direction of heat flow, qx" for heat flow density in this direction, W/m2,For temperature ladder in this direction
Degree, unit K/m.
For isotropic material, the thermal conductivity in all directions is identical.It can be counted by calculation formula
The thermal coefficient for calculating air is about 0.026W/ (mK).Since tobacco leaf moisture ratio is different, thermal coefficient is about 0.17W/
(m K)。
As depicted in figs. 1 and 2, the two thermal coefficient differs 6 times or more, theoretically there is smoke grenade and no smoke grenade, sends out
The speed difference of hot temperature variation is away from larger.The smoke grenade being pumped through after overbaking in burnt piece or powdery, it is hardly aqueous, it is thermally conductive
The gap of coefficient and new smoke grenade is larger, between air and new smoke grenade.The rate of heater temperature change be can use to sentence
It is air or new smoke grenade or old smoke grenade around disconnected heater.
According to above-mentioned principle, a kind of smoke grenade condition detecting system proposed by the present invention, as shown in figure 3, (algorithm and system one
And describe), it include mainly heater, for heating smoke grenade, temperature detecting unit is connect, to heater with the heating unit
Temperature detection is carried out, the temperature and main control unit of heater are obtained, obtains the fever body temperature of temperature detecting unit output in real time
Degree, unit of account time internal heat generation temperature rate of change become according to presently described rate temperature change and the temperature of setting
Change rate-valve value section to be compared, determines to whether there is smoke grenade in Current electronic cigarette.
As optional embodiment, the heater can utilize existing electronic cigarette heater, such as around smoke grenade
Cyclic annular or wound packages heater or other heater forms need not do any improvement to electronic smoke supply and heating part, into
One step controls electronic cigarette cost.
It is described as preferred embodiment in order to effectively distinguish the thermal conductivity of air and pipe tobacco different medium
Rate temperature change threshold value or threshold interval include at least first threshold section, preferred scope is that temperature change is super in 2 seconds
100 DEG C and second threshold section are crossed, preferred value range is that temperature change is no more than 80 DEG C in 2 seconds.It is used as time zone within 2 seconds
Between, it is ensured that enough detection durations are avoided because detection time is too short, the measurement error of generation.Alternatively,
120 DEG C of heating in 3 seconds or more, the range as first threshold section may be selected.
When the rate of change is in first threshold section, main control unit determines that Current electronic cigarette is not inserted into smoke grenade;
When the rate of change is in second threshold section, determine to contain smoke grenade in Current electronic cigarette.
The corresponding zero load in first threshold section is without smoke grenade state, and under this state, due to being not inserted into smoke grenade, heater is mainly heated
Medium be air, be suitable for air since convection current radiates three kinds of heat propagation modes of transmission, therefore the thermal efficiency of air is very high,
Air conduction coefficient obviously relatively in second threshold section smoke grenade it is higher (insertion smoke grenade after, in smoke grenade gather pipe tobacco unit
Heat is absorbed in time is significantly higher than air), in heating engineering, the heat of calandria is absorbed in the effective air unit time
It is extremely limited, so that calandria heats up when being relatively not inserted into smoke grenade faster.
Alternatively, the slope at a time of the heating curve of heater can be calculated (according to different materials
The characteristic of matter heater can also be the slope of curve), the threshold interval of slope is concurrently set, and then whether determine Current electronic cigarette
It loads, and whether current smoke grenade used or excessively dried.
Further, it is contemplated that, aqueous unused completely new smoke grenade and (toasted, the water for using or drying for a long time
Divide residual less, and the specific heat capacity of water is maximum, causes two kinds of smoke grenade unit time absorption heats namely thermal change rate to have bright
Aobvious difference) smoke grenade, since the difference of water content is also larger (data for having 2 in aforementioned principles), it is preferred real for pretending
Mode is applied, the threshold interval of the rate temperature change further includes third threshold interval, and temperature is increased beyond 100 DEG C in 3 seconds;
When the rate of change, when being in third threshold interval, main control unit determines that current smoke grenade is to have used.
Further, in order to guarantee (to prevent from overheating and scald) using safe and user's sense organ, implement as preferred
Mode, when the main control unit determines that current heater rate temperature change is in the first threshold section and third threshold
When being worth section, i.e., it is dry use (smoke grenade out of date) that electronic cigarette, which is in unloaded or insertion smoke grenade, cuts off the power, controls
The system heater stops working.
A kind of electronic cigarette, includes smoke grenade condition detecting system above-mentioned, and the electronic cigarette is adopted in the use process initial stage
Smoke grenade state-detection is carried out with the smoke grenade condition detecting system.As optional embodiment, electronic cigarette can also be integrated and be mentioned
Show unit, which can connect with main control unit, according to the decision structure of main control unit, make corresponding prompt;
Under optional scene, optical cue is can be used in prompt unit, when main control unit judgement is currently at first threshold
When section, red light is issued, after main control unit cutting heating, prompts user, Current electronic cigarette is in light condition, should fill
Fill out smoke grenade;When main control unit judgement is currently at second threshold section, green light is issued, informs that user is currently at normal work
Make state;When main control unit judgement is currently at third threshold interval, yellow light is issued, informs user, current smoke grenade is aqueous
Deficiency, it is excessively dry, it continues to use, mouthfeel is poor.
In addition to optical cue mode, it also may be preferable for the forms such as vibration prompting, when heater rate temperature change is in first
When threshold interval, control electronic cigarette continuous vibration (superlative degree warning) prompts user to load smoke grenade as early as possible, prevents electronic cigarette dry
It burns;When in third threshold interval, electronic cigarette timesharing vibration can control, prompt the current smoke grenade of user as drying or used cigarette
Bullet.
In other optional scenes, for example the electronic cigarette of smoke grenade ejecting mechanism is had, it can be achieved that linking, such as at judgement
When third threshold interval, main control unit controls ejecting mechanism, pops up current dry or used electronic cigarette.
Implement the embodiment of the present invention, will have the following beneficial effects:
Using the smoke grenade detection system of above-mentioned electronic cigarette, it can quickly and effectively identify whether Current electronic cigarette loads cigarette
Whether bullet and smoke grenade are to use or expired excessively dry smoke grenade, and give to continue to use and interrupts respectively and heat
Operational order ensure that the mouthfeel that smoke grenade uses, meanwhile, program realization is relied primarily on, complicated circuit structure and machine are eliminated
