Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic flow chart of an electronic cigarette energy-saving control method according to an embodiment of the invention is shown. The electronic cigarette energy-saving control method can be applied to the electronic cigarette, wherein the electronic cigarette can comprise the following steps: the atomizing device and power supply device, wherein, power supply device is used for providing the atomizing device with the electric energy.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the energy-saving control method of the electronic cigarette may include step S1, step S2 and step S3.
Step S1, detecting whether the atomizing device is inserted into the power supply device.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the detection of whether the atomizing device is inserted into the power supply device may be implemented by a wake-up unit provided in the power supply device. The wake-up unit can be realized by detecting the current or the voltage on a pin or a contact point of the atomizing device electrically connected with the power supply device. When the atomizing device is inserted into the power supply device and is electrically connected with the power supply device, current or voltage is generated on a pin or a contact point which is electrically connected with the power supply device by the atomizing device, so that the wake-up unit can detect whether the atomizing device is inserted into the power supply device or not by detecting the current or the voltage on the pin which is electrically connected with the power supply device by the atomizing device.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the wake-up unit may include a trigger or trigger circuit similar to a trigger. The trigger and the trigger circuit trigger to generate a trigger signal, namely a wake-up signal, only when the atomizing device is inserted into the power supply device; when the atomizing device is not inserted into the power supply device, neither the trigger nor the trigger circuit generates a trigger signal. By adopting the awakening unit in the mode, the awakening unit does not generate an awakening signal when the atomizing device is not detected, and in the state process that the atomizing device is not inserted into the power supply device, the trigger does not work, and the power supply device is not required to provide electric energy, so that the energy consumption of the power supply device can be greatly saved, and the energy consumption is further reduced.
Of course, it will be appreciated that in other embodiments the wake-up unit may also be implemented by a trigger switch (e.g. a mechanical switch). The mechanical switch can be arranged at the joint of the power supply device and the atomizing device, and is triggered after the atomizing device is inserted into the power supply device, so as to generate a trigger signal. Similarly, when the atomizing device is not inserted into the power supply device, the trigger switch does not need to additionally supply power to the power supply device, and only when the atomizing device is inserted into the power supply device, the trigger switch is triggered to generate a trigger signal, so that the energy consumption of the power supply device can be effectively reduced.
And S2, if yes, generating a wake-up signal to enable the power supply device and enable the power supply device to enter a working state.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a power supply device includes: the device comprises a wake-up unit, a control system and a starting unit.
Specifically, step S2 includes:
step S21, the wake-up unit generates a wake-up signal.
Step S22, the control system receives the wake-up signal and powers up according to the wake-up signal.
And S23, after the control system is electrified, detecting a load value of the atomizing device loaded on the power supply device.
Step S24, judging whether the load value loaded on the power supply device meets the preset condition.
It can be appreciated that in the embodiment of the present invention, the preset condition is satisfied that the load value loaded on the power supply device is within the preset range. The predetermined condition is not satisfied in that a load value loaded on the power supply device is not within a predetermined range. The preset range of the load value can be preset, and the value of the preset range is determined by different power supply devices and atomizing devices, so that the invention is not particularly limited.
And S25, if yes, outputting a control signal by the control system.
Step S26, the starting unit receives the control signal and starts according to the control signal, so that the power supply device is electrified to enter a working state.
Further, step S2 further includes:
and step S27, if the load value loaded on the power supply device does not meet the preset condition, the control system is powered off, so that the power supply device is in an energy-saving state.
Specifically, when the atomizing device is plugged into the power supply device and electrically connected, the wake-up unit detects the action and generates a wake-up signal. Wherein the wake-up signal is sent to the control system. The control system receives the wake-up signal and then controls the power-on, monitors the load value loaded on the power supply device in real time after the power-on, and outputs a control signal to start the power supply device to provide working voltage for the atomizing device when the load value loaded on the power supply device meets the preset condition, and at the moment, the power supply device enters a working state; otherwise, the control system cuts off the power supply, and at the moment, the power supply device does not supply power to the atomizing device, and the power supply device is in an energy-saving state. By detecting the load value, the power supply device can be immediately disconnected when the atomizing device does not need the power supply device to provide the electric energy required by work, and the energy consumption waste and loss of the power supply device are effectively avoided.
Further, after the power supply device enters the working state, the power supply device can also perform working indication to indicate to a user that the power supply device is in the working state. Alternatively, the operation indication may be implemented by a display unit, where the display unit includes, but is not limited to, a display device, an indication device, and the like. In an embodiment of the present invention, the display device includes, but is not limited to, an LED display screen, an LCD display screen, an OLED display screen, and the like. The indication device includes but is not limited to an indicator light, a nixie tube and the like.
And step S3, if not, the power supply device keeps a power-off energy-saving state.
Further, the electronic cigarette energy-saving control method of the embodiment of the invention further comprises the following steps:
after the power supply device enters a working state, detecting whether the starting unit is started, and if the starting unit is detected to be started, enabling the power supply device by the control system according to a starting signal generated when the starting unit is started, so that the power supply device heats the atomizing device and is normally sucked by a user. It will be appreciated that, after the power supply device enters the working state, the starting unit is powered off for energy saving without any triggering action. When there is a relevant trigger action (such as a user sucking trigger, starting trigger, etc.), the starting unit is triggered to start, and at this time, the starting unit generates a starting signal. If the starting unit is not started, judging whether the connection time of the atomizing device and the power supply device is longer than or equal to the preset connection time; if the connection time of the atomizing device and the power supply device is longer than or equal to the preset connection time, the control system enables the power supply device to cut off the power of the power supply device, and the power supply device is in an energy-saving state. Generally, after the power supply device enters a working state, the power supply device provides the electric energy required by the working of the atomizing device for the atomizing device, and the electric energy required by the working of the atomizing device is the electric energy required by a user for sucking the electronic cigarette, so that the invention can further save the energy consumption of the power supply device by detecting whether the user has a sucking action, namely, the effect of reducing the energy consumption of the power supply device can be still achieved in a state that the atomizing device is normally and electrically connected with the power supply device.
Specific: after the power supply device is connected with the atomizing device, if the user does not suck the electronic cigarette, and the time for connecting the atomizing device with the power supply device is longer than the preset connection time, the control system controls the power supply device to stop supplying electric energy to the atomizing device, so that the power supply device is in an energy-saving state, and the aim of further reducing energy consumption is achieved.
It can be appreciated that in the embodiment of the invention, the atomizing device is electrically connected with the power supply device, and when a user sucks according to the requirement, the control system can detect the sucking action, and then the control system is activated and controls the power supply device to provide the required electric energy for the atomizing device, so that the electronic cigarette can work normally, and the normal sucking requirement of the user is met. It will be appreciated that when the user draws in the e-cigarette on demand, the activation unit is simultaneously activated and generates an activation signal, at which point the generated activation signal is detected by the control system, which is powered up in accordance with the activation signal.
Further, the electronic cigarette energy-saving control method of the embodiment of the invention further comprises the following steps: after the power supply device enters a working state, monitoring whether the starting unit works; if not, judging whether the time for stopping the work of the starting unit is greater than or equal to the preset stopping time; if the stop time of the starting unit is greater than or equal to the preset stop time, the control system is powered off, so that the power supply device is in an energy-saving state. It can be understood that when the starting unit stops working, the time for stopping working of the starting unit can be monitored to judge whether the user has a suction requirement in a short time, when the time for stopping working of the starting unit is monitored to be greater than or equal to the preset stopping time, the user is considered to have no suction requirement in a short time, at this time, the control system is powered off, and then the power supply device is controlled not to provide electric energy required for working for the atomizing device, so that the power supply device enters an energy-saving state, and the energy consumption of the power supply device is further reduced.
By implementing the electronic cigarette energy-saving control method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the energy consumption of the power supply device can be effectively controlled under the condition that the atomizing device is connected with or not connected with the power supply device, the electric energy consumption of the power supply device is reduced, the electric quantity of the power supply device is prevented from being reduced or exhausted due to long-time standby of devices in the power supply device, and the electric quantity of the power supply device is also prevented from being reduced or exhausted due to long-time connection of the atomizing device and the power supply device. In addition, the implementation of the electronic cigarette energy-saving control method can realize: when the power supply device is in standby power supply state, only part of devices or circuits in the power supply device are in standby power supply state, and the rest devices or circuits are in power-off state, so that the energy consumption of the power supply device can be effectively reduced, the endurance time of the power supply device is longer, and the user experience is effectively improved.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic cigarette energy-saving control device further comprises: it is detected whether the atomizing device is inserted into the wake-up unit of the power supply device. Specifically, when detecting that the atomizing device is inserted into the power supply device, the wake-up unit of the embodiment of the invention generates a wake-up signal to wake up the power supply device and enable the power supply device to enter a working state; the wake-up unit keeps a detection state when the atomization device is not detected to be inserted into the power supply device, and the power supply device keeps a power-off energy-saving state. Alternatively, the wake-up unit in the embodiment of the present invention may exist alone, or may be disposed in the power supply device.
Further, the wake-up unit of the embodiment of the present invention may include: a flip-flop or a trigger circuit.
The trigger and the trigger circuit both generate trigger signals when the atomizing device is inserted into the power supply device; the trigger signal is a wake-up signal. It will be appreciated that the trigger and trigger circuit will trigger the generation of a trigger signal, i.e. a wake-up signal, only when the atomizing device is plugged into the power supply device; when the atomizing device is not inserted into the power supply device, neither the trigger nor the trigger circuit generates a trigger signal. By adopting the awakening unit in the mode, the awakening unit does not generate an awakening signal when the atomizing device is not detected, and in the state process that the atomizing device is not inserted into the power supply device, the trigger does not work, and the power supply device is not required to provide electric energy, so that the energy consumption of the power supply device can be greatly saved, and the energy consumption is further reduced.
Of course, it will be appreciated that in other embodiments the wake-up unit may also be implemented by a trigger switch (e.g. a mechanical switch). The mechanical switch can be arranged at the joint of the power supply device and the atomizing device, and is triggered after the atomizing device is inserted into the power supply device, so as to generate a trigger signal. Similarly, when the atomizing device is not inserted into the power supply device, the trigger switch does not need to additionally supply power to the power supply device, and only when the atomizing device is inserted into the power supply device, the trigger switch is triggered to generate a trigger signal, so that the energy consumption of the power supply device can be effectively reduced.
Further, the power supply device of the embodiment of the invention further includes: a control system and a starting unit.

In the embodiment of the invention, the starting unit receives the control signal and starts according to the control signal, so that the power supply device enters a working state to heat the atomizing device.
Further, the control system of the embodiment of the invention is further used for enabling the power supply device to be powered off to enable the power supply device to be in an energy-saving state if the load value of the power supply device does not meet the preset condition after the power supply device is powered on.
