In order to avoid the problem that the electronic cigarette shown in fig. 1 may have an error in the smoke liquid amount determined by the electronic cigarette according to the liquid level value detected by the liquid level detector when the electronic cigarette is turned upside down, please refer to fig. 3, which shows a flowchart of a method for obtaining the smoke liquid amount according to an embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment is exemplified by using the method for obtaining the smoke liquid amount in the electronic cigarette shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 3, the method for obtaining the amount of smoke may include:
in step 310, gesture indication information is obtained, where the gesture indication information is data detected by a gesture detection component in the electronic cigarette.
Wherein, the gesture detection component can include at least one of the pressure sensor, the gyroscope in the electronic cigarette and the accelerometer in the electronic cigarette.
In practical implementation, the electronic cigarette processor may execute step 310 and step 320 every preset time interval to update the remaining amount of tobacco liquid in the liquid storage component every preset time interval.
And step 320, when it is determined that the pushing component in the electronic cigarette pushes the tobacco juice towards the first end of the liquid storage component according to the posture indicating information, determining the tobacco juice amount in the liquid storage component according to the liquid level detected by the liquid level detector.
Determining whether the pushing assembly in the electronic cigarette pushes the cigarette liquid towards the first end of the liquid storage part according to the posture indicating information can be realized by the following modes:
first, if the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is less than or equal to a predetermined pressure threshold, it is determined that the pushing assembly is pushing the tobacco smoke toward the first end of the reservoir, otherwise, it is determined that the pushing assembly is not pushing the tobacco smoke toward the first end of the reservoir.
Secondly, whether the electronic cigarette is inverted and horizontally placed is determined according to the data detected by the gyroscope and the data detected by the accelerometer in the electronic cigarette. If the electronic cigarette is inverted or horizontally placed, determining that the pushing assembly does not push the cigarette liquid towards the first end of the liquid storage part; if the electronic cigarette is not caused and is not horizontally placed, it is determined that the pushing assembly pushes the liquid toward the first end of the liquid storage member.
Thirdly, when the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is higher than a preset pressure threshold value, the pushing assembly is judged not to push the tobacco juice towards the first end of the liquid storage part; if the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is lower than or equal to the pressure threshold value, acquiring data detected by a gyroscope and data detected by an accelerometer in the electronic cigarette to determine whether the electronic cigarette is inverted and horizontally placed; if the electronic cigarette is not inverted and is not horizontally placed, judging that the pushing assembly pushes the cigarette liquid towards the first end of the liquid storage piece; if the electronic cigarette is inverted or horizontally placed, it is determined that the pushing assembly does not push the tobacco juice toward the first end of the liquid storage member. Therefore, the problem that the electronic cigarette is not inverted and horizontally placed when the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is equal to or lower than the preset pressure threshold value in the sliding process of the electronic cigarette tip downward pressing block in the liquid storage part is avoided. Meanwhile, when the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is higher than a preset pressure threshold value, the complex operation that whether the pushing assembly pushes the tobacco juice towards the first end of the liquid storage part or not is determined according to the data detected by the gyroscope and the data detected by the accelerometer is saved, and whether the electronic cigarette is in the judgment accuracy or not is guaranteed.
The inner cavity of the liquid storage piece is cylindrical or cuboid for example, the cross-sectional area of the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the liquid storage piece, which is stored in the electronic cigarette, is S, and the amount of the smoke liquid in the liquid storage piece is obtained by multiplying the cross-sectional area S by the current liquid level value. In practical implementation, the liquid level value of the liquid level detector and the specific shape of the inner cavity of the liquid storage part can be combined for determination, or a calculation formula is set by a system developer according to the specific shape of the inner cavity of the liquid storage part, and the electronic cigarette determines the amount of the smoke liquid in the liquid storage part according to the calculation formula and the current liquid level value, so that the details are omitted.
