In this embodiment, the switch control module 250 is, for example, a logic gate circuit such as an and gate, an nand gate, an or gate, a nor gate, or a combination circuit thereof, for example, the switch control module 250 includes a nand gate, when the switch control module 250 receives a low level signal from the first child lock module 210, an output end of the switch control module 250 directly outputs a high level signal, the power MOS transistor M is turned off, when the switch control module 250 receives a high level signal from the second child lock module 220, an output of the nand gate is controlled by the inhalation/blowing detection module 270, and when the inhalation/blowing detection module 270 determines that the user inhales the electronic cigarette, the switch control module 250 controls the power MOS transistor M to be continuously turned on or intermittently turned on.
In this embodiment, the first child-lock state is a child-lock locking state, the child-lock locking state corresponds to a child-lock protection function, and when the electronic cigarette is in the child-lock locking state, no matter whether the user sucks the electronic cigarette, the switch control module 250 controls the power MOS transistor M to keep off, for example, the first child-lock module 210 continuously outputs a low level signal, the switch control module 250 continuously outputs a high level signal, and the power MOS transistor M keeps off, so that the heating element 120 does not heat, and further, the smoke oil is not atomized for the user to suck, that is, even if the user sucks the electronic cigarette, smoke does not occur. The second child-lock state is a child-lock unlock state, the child-lock unlock state correspondingly releases the child-lock protection function, at this time, when the user sucks the electronic cigarette, the switch control module 250 controls the power MOS transistor M to be continuously turned on or to be intermittently turned on, where the intermittent turning on means that the switch control module 250 outputs a square wave signal in a PWM mode or a PFM mode, and the duty ratio of the square wave signal is adjusted to control the output power, for example, the second child-lock module 220 continuously outputs a high level signal, and the switch control module 250 is controlled by the suck-blow detection module 270. The present application is not limited to this, and in other embodiments of the present application, the first child-lock state may also be an unlocked state of the child lock, and the second child-lock state may also be a locked state of the child lock.
In this embodiment, when the electronic cigarette enters the second child-lock state, the first timing unit 211 and the first counting unit 212 receive the first reset signal, that is, when the electronic cigarette is in the first child-lock state, whether the first timing unit 211 starts timing or not, and whether the first counting unit 212 has counted, when the electronic cigarette enters the second child-lock state from the first child-lock state, the first timing unit 211 and the first counting unit 212 both receive the first reset signal, the first timing unit 211 resets, that is, the first timing unit 211 stops timing and sets to zero, the first counting unit 212 resets, that is, the first counting unit 212 stops counting and sets to zero, and then the user charges the electronic cigarette, and the electronic cigarette enters the charging state, because the first timing unit 211 does not start timing before, the first counting unit 212 does not start counting previously, so that the first timing unit 211 is triggered to start timing from 0, the first counting unit 212 is triggered to count from 0, and when the number of charging in the first preset state is greater than or equal to the number of charging, the first counting in the first timer unit 212 is triggered, the first timer output signal of the first timer lock switch 213, so as to keep the first child-lock output signal 250, and the output of the MOS control module 250, thereby keeping the high-level. Therefore, the following situations can not occur in the application: the first timing unit 211 and the first counting unit 212 are always working, and in a child lock locking state (similar to the child lock unlocking state, which is not described herein), when a user inserts and removes the charger connector normally (or sucks or blows), the first timing unit 211 and the first counting unit 212 are triggered to perform timing and counting, at this time, when the user operates normally to enable the electronic cigarette to enter the child lock unlocking state, the first timing unit 211 is still performing timing, and the count value of the first counting unit 212 is retained, so that in the child lock unlocking state, the first child lock module 210 may receive charging insertion times less than the first preset number and enter the child lock locking state, which may cause a logic error, cause trouble to the user in use, and easily cause the user misoperation. For example, in the child lock locked state, the user charges the electronic cigarette normally, the charger connector is inserted into the charging interface 140, the first timing unit 211 starts timing, the first counting unit 212 counts to 1, after the user operates normally, the electronic cigarette enters the child lock unlocked state, the first timing unit 211 still counts time, and then when the electronic cigarette is plugged and charged for 2 times due to various reasons, the first preset number is satisfied (assuming that the first preset number is 3 times, assuming that the first preset number is within the first preset duration), the first timing and counting determination unit 213 outputs the first child lock signal, so that the electronic cigarette returns to the child lock locked state, which may cause logic confusion in the user using process, which may not meet the user's expectations, which may cause trouble to the user's operation, and may easily cause misoperation of the user.
In this embodiment, the child lock control circuit 200 further includes a trigger 240, the trigger 240 is, for example, an SR trigger 240 or another conventional trigger 240, one input end of the trigger 240 is electrically connected to the output end of the first child lock module 210, another input end of the trigger 240 is electrically connected to the output end of the second child lock module 220, an output end of the trigger 240 is electrically connected to the switch control module 250, and an output end of the trigger 240 is further electrically connected to the first timing unit 211 and the first counting unit 212. When the second child-lock module 220 generates a second child-lock signal for enabling the electronic cigarette to enter a second child-lock state, the trigger 240 receives the second child-lock signal and outputs a second signal, where the second signal is a high-level signal, an edge signal of the second signal is converted from a first signal (described later) by the trigger 240 to be a first reset signal, and the electronic cigarette enters the second child-lock state, and meanwhile, the first timing unit 211 and the first counting unit 212 receive the first reset signal, the first timing unit 211 stops timing and sets zero, and the first counting unit 212 stops counting and sets zero. How to reset the first timing unit 211 and the first counting unit 212 after receiving the first reset signal is a conventional technique in the art, and is not described herein again.

For example, the switch control module 250 further includes a reset unit, and the reset unit includes, for example, two not gates, the two not gates are connected in series, an input terminal of one of the not gates is electrically connected to an output terminal of the flip-flop 240, and an output terminal of the other not gate is electrically connected to the first timing unit 211 and the first counting unit 212, respectively. In addition, in other embodiments of the present application, the reset signals may be reversed, the first reset signal may also be an edge signal that is converted from a high-level signal to a low-level signal, and the second reset signal may also be an edge signal that is converted from a low-level signal to a high-level signal.
In addition, in other embodiments of the present application, similarly, the first timing unit 211 and the first counting unit 212 are both electrically connected to the output end of the second child-lock module 220, the second child-lock module 220 outputs a second child-lock signal for enabling the electronic cigarette to enter the second child-lock state, the second child-lock module 220 outputs an edge signal converted from a low-level signal to a high-level signal as a first reset signal, in addition, in other embodiments of the present application, the first reset signal may be a falling edge signal, the first timing unit 211 receives the first reset signal, the first timing unit 211 stops timing and sets zero, the first counting unit 212 receives the first reset signal, and the first counting unit 212 stops counting and sets zero.
In the present embodiment, the second child lock module 220 is similar to the first child lock module 210, and the second child lock module 220 includes a second timing unit 221, a second counting unit 222, and a second timing and counting determination unit 223. The second timing unit 221 and the second counting unit 222 are electrically connected to the second state detection module, the second timing counting judgment unit 223 is electrically connected to the second timing unit 221 and the second counting unit 222, and when the electronic cigarette enters the first child-lock state, the second timing unit 221 and the second counting unit receive a second reset signal, so that the second timing unit 221 stops timing and sets zero, and the second counting unit 222 stops counting and sets zero. In this embodiment, when the electronic cigarette is in the first child lock state and when the user smokes the electronic cigarette, the second state detection module outputs an inhalation signal to the second timing unit 221 and the second counting unit 222, the second timing unit 221 starts timing, the second counting unit 222 starts counting, the second timing counting determination unit 223 is configured to determine whether the count of the second counting unit 222 in the second preset time period is greater than or equal to the second preset number, when the second timing counting determination unit 223 determines that the count of the second counting unit 222 in the second preset time period is greater than or equal to the second preset number, the second timing counting determination unit 223 outputs a second child lock signal to the trigger 240, and the trigger 240 outputs a second signal to the switch control unit. The specific functions of the second child lock module 220 can refer to the first child lock module 210, and are not described in detail herein. In addition, in other embodiments of the present application, when the second child lock state is the child lock locking state, the second child lock module 220 may further not include the second counting unit 222, and the second timing counting determination unit 223 is a second duration determination unit, at this time, the electronic cigarette determines whether to enter the second child lock state through the placing duration.
In this embodiment, regardless of whether the electronic cigarette is in the first child-lock state or the second child-lock state, the first timing unit 211, the first counting unit 212, the second timing unit 221, and the second counting unit 222 all operate, and when the trigger signal is received, the first timing unit 211 and the second timing unit 221 start timing correspondingly, and the first counting unit 212 and the second counting unit 222 start counting correspondingly. In the present embodiment, the three units of the second timing unit 221, the second counting unit 222, and the second timing count judgment unit 223 may be implemented by a conventional timer and a conventional counter, that is, although the foregoing is functionally divided into three units, the three units may actually be implemented by two circuit modules, which also belongs to the scope of the present application. In the present embodiment, the three units, i.e., the first timing unit 211, the first counting unit 212, and the first timing count judging unit 213, can be implemented by a conventional timer and a conventional counter, that is, although the foregoing is functionally divided into three units, the three units can actually be implemented by two circuit modules, which also belongs to the scope of the present application.
The inventor of the application finds out in the actual test process that: the charger connector is not in contact with the charging interface 140 stably, or the charger connector and the charging interface 140 are worn due to long-term use, or are shaken, so that the charger connector and the charging interface 140 may be plugged once, so that the charging management module 260 detects multiple charging signals, and the electronic cigarette may be triggered to enter the first child-locked state by mistake when the charger connector and the charging interface 140 are plugged once, which causes troubles to the use of a user. In order to solve the problem, in this embodiment, the child lock control circuit 200 further includes a third timing unit 231 and a third duration determining unit 232, wherein the third timing unit 231 is electrically connected to the first state detecting module, the third duration determining unit 232 is electrically connected to the third timing unit 231, an output end of the third duration determining unit 232 is electrically connected to the first timing unit 211 and the first counting unit 212, respectively, and the third duration determining unit 232 is configured to generate a trigger valid signal according to a timing duration of the third timing unit 231. In the present embodiment, the two units, i.e. the third timing unit 231 and the third duration judging unit 232, can be implemented by a conventional timer, that is, although the foregoing is functionally divided into two units, the two units can be actually implemented by one circuit module, and this also belongs to the scope of the present application.
In this embodiment, when the electronic cigarette enters the charging state, the third timing unit 231 starts timing, and when the third duration determining unit 232 determines that the timing of the third timing unit 231 is greater than or equal to a third preset duration, that is, the duration in the charging state is greater than or equal to the third preset duration, at this time, the third duration determining unit 232 outputs a trigger valid signal to the first timing unit 211 and the first counting unit 212, the first timing unit 211 is triggered to start timing, the first counting unit 212 is triggered to start counting, and the first timing unit 211 ignores the output signal of the third duration determining unit 232 as long as the first timing unit 211 is not reset; and each charging process detects and determines the duration of the charging signal, and the first counting unit 212 counts only if the duration of the charging signal is greater than or equal to a third preset duration. Thereafter, the third timing unit 231 is reset, i.e., stops timing and is set to zero. Within the first preset time period, if the third time period determining unit 232 determines that the timing of the third timing unit 231 is greater than or equal to the third preset time period again next time, the first timing unit 211 ignores the signal, meanwhile, the count of the first counting unit 212 is increased by 1, that is, the subsequent count detects and determines the holding time period of the charging signal, and the count is only performed if the charging holding time period is greater than or equal to the third preset time period. In this embodiment, the third timing unit 231 starts timing by triggering a rising edge signal (edge signal), a falling edge signal (edge signal), a high level signal (level signal) or a low level signal (level signal), so that when the first state detection module is converted from the uncharged signal to the charged signal, the third timing unit 231 is triggered to start timing.
In addition, the first timing unit 211 may not trigger to start timing by receiving a trigger valid signal, in other embodiments of the present application, the first timing unit 211 is electrically connected to the first state detection module, the first timing unit 211 acquires information that the electronic cigarette enters the first state, and the first timing unit 211 also performs timing, that is, the first timing unit 211 performs timing as much as the third timing unit 231 performs timing. In this embodiment, the first timing unit 211 performs timing by edge signal triggering, and the third timing unit 231 performs timing by level signal triggering or edge signal triggering.
In this embodiment, when the third duration determining unit 232 determines that the timing of the third timing unit 231 is less than the third preset duration, that is, the duration in the charging state is less than the third preset duration, the third duration determining unit 232 does not output the trigger valid signal, for example, outputs the trigger invalid signal, and the trigger invalid signal does not trigger the following circuit to perform timing and counting. In this embodiment, when the duration of the charging signal is short and the charging signal is changed back to the non-charging signal soon, the third timing unit 231 stops timing and the timing duration is set to zero, that is, the third timing unit 231 is reset, and meanwhile, the third duration determining unit 232 still outputs the trigger disable signal. In the present embodiment, the third preset time period is, for example, 10ms, 20ms, 30ms, 40ms, 50ms, 60ms, 70ms, 80ms, 90ms, 100ms, and the like. The aforementioned problem that a plurality of charging signals occur during one charging, generally speaking, the duration of the charging signal is short and is less than 10ms, and the charging signal is greater than or equal to 10ms and less than or equal to 100ms when the charging signal is connected stably, this embodiment separates whether the charging is effective or ineffective due to poor stability, loss, and the like, when the duration of the charging signal is short and is changed from the charging signal to an uncharged signal soon, the third timing unit 231 resets, and at the same time, the third duration determining unit 232 does not output a trigger effective signal to the first timing unit 211 and the first counting unit 212, so that the first timing unit 211 and the first counting unit 212 are not triggered, and are not triggered by mistake, and the situation that the electronic cigarette is triggered to enter the first child-lock state when the charger connector is inserted into the charging interface 140 once does not occur.
The embodiment also detects the interval between the first states, and prevents the signal jitter corresponding to the first states from causing miscounting. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the child lock control circuit includes a fourth timing unit 281 and a fourth time length determining unit 282, the fourth timing unit 281 is electrically connected to the first state detecting module and the third time length determining unit 232, the fourth time length determining unit 282 is electrically connected to the fourth timing unit 281 and the third timing unit 231, and the third timing unit 231 is further electrically connected to the first state detecting module and the third time length determining unit 232. After the third duration determining unit 232 outputs the trigger valid signal, the fourth timing unit 281 acquires information that the electronic cigarette enters the non-first state from the first state after acquiring the trigger valid signal, for example, the information that the electronic cigarette changes from the charging state to the non-charging state (non-charging state), for example, the information that the electronic cigarette changes from the high level signal to the low level signal, the fourth timing unit 281 is triggered to start timing, meanwhile, the third timing unit 231 also acquires information that the electronic cigarette enters the non-first state from the first state after acquiring the trigger valid signal, the third timing unit 231 is locked, that is, enters the locked state, the third timing unit 231 is not triggered to start timing after being locked, and at this time, the timing of the third timing unit 291 is 0, and the third timing unit 231 will only time the duration of the first state if the third timing unit 231 is in the unlocked state after being unlocked. In this embodiment, after the fourth timing unit 281 starts timing, the fourth timing unit 281 keeps timing, the fourth time length determining unit 282 determines whether the timing time length of the fourth timing unit 281 is greater than or equal to a fourth preset time length, the fourth preset time length is, for example, 10ms to 100ms, for example, 10ms, 20ms, 30ms, 40ms, 50ms, 60ms, 70ms, 80ms, 90ms, 100ms, and the like, and preferably 20ms, when the fourth time length determining unit 282 determines that the timing of the fourth timing unit 281 reaches the fourth preset time length, the fourth timing unit 281 stops timing and sets zero, that is, the fourth timing unit 281 resets, and meanwhile, the fourth time length determining unit 282 outputs an unlocking signal to the third timing unit 231, the third timing unit 231 unlocks, the third timing unit 231 is in an unlocking state, and thereafter the third timing unit 231 acquires information that the electronic cigarette enters the first state, and the third timing unit 231 can perform timing. In this embodiment, when the fourth timing unit 281 does not receive the trigger valid signal, the fourth timing unit 281 does not trigger the start of timing even if the fourth timing unit 281 acquires the information that the electronic cigarette enters the non-first state from the first state. In this embodiment, the duration of the first state is determined, the counting is performed only when the duration is longer than the third preset duration, and after the electronic cigarette is changed from the first state to the non-first state after one counting, the fourth timing unit 281 times, and only when the timing of the fourth timing unit 281 is longer than or equal to the fourth preset duration, the third timing unit 231 may be effective again for timing, that is, the third timing unit 231 may be effective again for timing after at least the fourth preset duration is waited after the trigger effective signal is output. The setting can prevent the first state action from shaking to cause that the first state action is mistaken for a plurality of times of first state actions once, which causes the first state action not to conform to the expectation of the user.
In order to prevent the false counting caused by the jitter of the signal corresponding to the first state, in another embodiment of the present application, please refer to fig. 3, the child lock control circuit includes a fourth timing unit 281 and a fourth time length determining unit 282, the fourth timing unit 281 is electrically connected to the first state detecting module and the third time length determining unit 232 respectively, the fourth time length determining unit 282 is electrically connected to the fourth timing unit 281, the third timing unit 231 and the first counting unit 212 respectively, and the first counting unit 212 is further electrically connected to the first state detecting module and the third time length determining unit 232. After the third duration determining unit 232 outputs the trigger valid signal, the fourth timing unit 281 receives the trigger valid signal and then acquires the information that the electronic cigarette enters the non-first state from the first state, the fourth timing unit 281 is triggered to start timing, and the first counting unit 212 also acquires the information that the electronic cigarette enters the non-first state from the first state after acquiring the trigger valid signal, the first counting unit 212 is locked, that is, enters the locked state, and the first counting unit 212 does not count up even if receiving the trigger valid signal again after being locked, that is, the first counting unit 212 keeps the original count value in the locked state, and does not count up the count value, and the first counting unit 212 adds one to the count number only if receiving the trigger valid signal after being unlocked. In this embodiment, after the fourth timing unit 281 starts timing, the fourth timing unit 281 keeps timing (even if the timing is changed from the non-first state to the first state), the fourth duration determining unit 282 determines whether the timing duration of the fourth timing unit 281 is greater than or equal to a fourth preset duration, when the fourth duration determining unit 282 determines that the timing duration of the fourth timing unit 281 reaches the fourth preset duration, the fourth timing unit 281 stops timing and sets zero, that is, the fourth timing unit 281 resets, at the same time, the fourth duration determining unit 282 outputs a reset signal to the third timing unit 231, the timing of the third timing unit 231 is stopped and set zero, that is, resets, at the same time, the fourth duration determining unit outputs an unlock signal to the first counting unit 212, the first counting unit 212 is unlocked, the first counting unit 212 enters the unlocked state, and thereafter the first counting unit 212 acquires a trigger valid signal again, and the first counting unit 212 can perform an action of adding one. In this embodiment, when the fourth timing unit 281 does not receive the trigger valid signal, the fourth timing unit 281 does not trigger the start of timing even if the fourth timing unit 281 acquires the information that the electronic cigarette enters the non-first state from the first state.
In this embodiment, the first preset time period and the second preset time period are generally less than or equal to 5s, which is beneficial to preventing false triggering, and the first preset time period is, for example, 1s, 1.5s, 1.8s, 2s, 2.3s, 2.5s, 2.8s, 3s, 4s, 5s, and the like, and is preferably 2s. In this embodiment, the first preset number and the second preset number are greater than or equal to 2, for example, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and preferably 3, and the first preset number and the second preset number are generally less than or equal to 6 times, which is convenient for the user to operate.
