Definitions
- Embodiments of this application relate to the field of cigarette device technologies, and in particular, to an aerosol-generation device, and a method and system thereof.
- Tobacco products such as cigarettes and cigars bum tobacco during use to produce smoke. Attempts have been made to provide alternatives for these tobacco-burning products by manufacturing products that release compounds without being burnt.
- An example of the products is a so-called heat not burning product that releases a compound by heating rather than burning a tobacco.
- existing cigarette devices generally install a sensor at a cigarette insertion port to detect whether there is a cigarette inserted, and then control a heater to start heating.
- the sensor cannot detect whether the cigarette is inserted in place, and if heating is started when the cigarette is not inserted in place, the cigarette is prone to not be effectively heated, thereby affecting inhalation experience.
- a solution is to add another sensor in a cigarette cavity to detect whether the cigarette is inserted in place.
- increasing the sensor leads to an increase in hardware cost of the cigarette device, which reduces competitiveness of the product.

- a corresponding heating curve may be selected from pre-stored heating curves, that is, temperature configuration information, and then the heater 1 is controlled to heat according to the heating curve, so that the user can obtain a best taste.
- controller is further configured to: generate a product pull-out signal in a case that the second color signal and a third color signal generated by the color sensor 202 are sequentially obtained within a second preset time; and control the heater 1 to stop heating according to the product pull-out signal.
- the color sensor 202 sequentially detects the color of an outer surface of a tobacco segment 102 and the color of an inner wall of the cavity, and generates a corresponding second color signal and third color signal.
- the controller sequentially obtains the second color signal and the third color signal, it can be determined that the aerosol-generation product 100 is removed from the cavity of the aerosol-generation device 200, so that the product pull-out signal is generated and the heater 1 is controlled to stop heating.
- controller is further configured to: generate a product non-inserted-in-place signal in a case that only the second color signal generated by the color sensor 202 is obtained within a second preset time; and control the heater to stop heating and record a completed heating time of the heater according to the product non-inserted-in-place signal.
- the heater 1 is controlled to automatically start heating, if the aerosol-generation product 100 is accidentally moved, the aerosol-generation product 100 is not inserted into the cavity of the aerosol-generation device 200 in place.
- the color sensor 202 can only detect the color of the outer surface of the tobacco segment 102, and generate a corresponding second color signal.
- the controller obtains the second color signal, it can be determined that the aerosol-generation product 100 is not inserted in place, so that the product non-inserted-in-place signal is generated, and the heater 1 is controlled to stop heating and a completed heating time of the heater 1 is recorded.
- controller is further configured to:
- the heater 1 starts heating, if the aerosol-generation product 100 is accidentally moved, the heater 1 is caused to stop heating. In this case, the user can be reminded of the abnormality of the position of the aerosol-generation product 100 through vibration, light, sound, or the like, so as to facilitate the user to reinsert the aerosol-generation product 100 into the cavity in place.
- the controller is further configured to: generate a product reinserted-in-place signal in a case that the second color signal and the first color signal generated by the color sensor 202 are sequentially obtained within a third preset time; calculate a remaining heating time of the heater according to the completed heating time of the heater; and control the heater 1 to perform heating according to the product reinserted-in-place signal and the remaining heating time of the heater.
- the heater 1 starts heating, if the aerosol-generation product 100 is accidentally moved, the heater 1 is caused to stop heating. If the user reinserts the aerosol-generation product 100 into the cavity in place, the aerosol-generation product 100 can continue to be heated without the user starting the heating, which further simplifies the operation of the aerosol-generation device 200 and improves the user experience.
- controller is further configured to: control the heater 1 to be in an off state in a case that only the second color signal generated by the color sensor 202 is obtained within the first preset time or in a case that the second color signal and a fourth color signal generated by the color sensor 202 are sequentially obtained within the first preset time.
- the aerosol-generation product 100 is not inserted in place. In this case, there is no need to control the heater 1 to start heating, that is, to control the heater 1 to be in the off state.
- the second color signal and the fourth color signal generated by the color sensor 202 are sequentially obtained within the first preset time, it can be determined that an aerosol-generation product that does not match the aerosol-generation device 200 is inserted. In this case, there is also no need to control the heater 1 to start heating, that is, to control the heater 1 to be in the off state.
- a fourth color is different from the color of the foregoing label C1, and also different from the color of the outer surface of the tobacco segment 102 and the color of the inner wall of the cavity.
- the first preset time, second preset time and third preset time above may be empirical values, which have been set when the aerosol-generation device 200 leaves the factory; or set by the user.
- controller is further configured to:
- FIG. 7 is a schematic flowchart of a method for controlling an aerosol-generation device according to an implementation of this application. The method includes:
- Step S21 Insert a cigarette.
- Step S22 Detect whether the cigarette is inserted.
- a color sensor 202 detects a color of an outer surface of a tobacco segment 102 and generates a corresponding second color signal, which can determine that the cigarette is inserted.
- Step S23 Continue to insert the cigarette.
- Step S25 Detect whether the cigarette is inserted in place.
- the color sensor 202 sequentially detects the color of the outer surface of the tobacco segment 102 and a color of a label C1, and generates a corresponding second color signal and first color signal.
- Step S26 When the cigarette is inserted into the cavity in place, a controller controls a heater to start heating.
- Step S261 and Step S27 The heating of the cigarette is completed and the cigarette is pulled out, and the heating ends.
- Step S262, Step S263, and Step S27 The cigarette is abnormally out of an insertion position, and the controller controls the heater to stop heating. In this case, if the cigarette is pulled out, the heating ends.
