- connection part due to a phenomenon such as chattering that occurs when an electrical load such as an atomizer is connected to the connection part, it is erroneously detected that the charger is connected to the connection part even though the electrical load is connected to the connection part. Sometimes. When such erroneous detection occurs, the switch in the battery unit is turned on unintentionally, and there is a possibility that the power of the power source is wasted. Therefore, it is desirable to reduce the wasteful consumption of power from the power source even if the connection to the connection unit is erroneously detected.
- the battery unit can connect a power source, a detection unit that detects an output voltage of the power source, a load that atomizes the aerosol source or heats the flavor source, and a charger that charges the power source.

It is likely that This is because it is assumed that the output voltage in the charging mode increases due to charging by the charger or does not change due to a no-load state. Depending on the detection error of the detection unit and self-discharge in the no-load state, the amount of decrease in the output voltage in the charging mode per predetermined period may show a small value, but depending on how much the threshold value is set to these, The case where the output voltage decreases in these charge modes and the case where the output voltage decreases in the power supply mode can be accurately distinguished.
- the control unit determines an abnormality in the charging mode. Therefore, even if it is a case where it is a case where it detects incorrectly that the charger was connected to the connection part, although the load is connected to the connection part, the said erroneous detection can be determined in charge mode. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the switch in the battery unit from being kept ON by mistake, and to reduce wasteful power consumption of the power source.

- the first threshold value may be set to the same value as the amount of decrease of the output voltage per predetermined period in the power supply mode or smaller.
- the first threshold value may be set in advance when the battery unit 112 is manufactured. However, the first threshold value does not need to be permanently maintained at a preset value.
- the first threshold value may be changed according to the deterioration of the power supply 40 or the charge / discharge history.
- the power supply 40 deteriorates, that is, the number of charge / discharge cycles increases, the output voltage of the power supply 40 decreases, and the amount of voltage drop also increases. This is due to a decrease in the storage capacity due to irreversible decomposition of the electrolytic solution and an increase in internal resistance due to a change in the electrode structure due to aggregation of the active material and the conductive additive. Therefore, when the load 111R is connected to the connection unit 120, the power supply 40 deteriorates and the amount of decrease in the output voltage of the power supply 40 during the predetermined period becomes smaller. Considering this, it is possible to improve the accuracy of determination of abnormality in the charging mode by appropriately changing the first threshold according to the deterioration of the power supply 40.
- the first threshold value As the power supply 40 deteriorates.
- the amount of decrease in output voltage during a predetermined period when the load 111R is connected to the connection unit 120 increases. Therefore, even if the first threshold value is made smaller, an abnormality in the charging mode can be determined.
- the charger 200 is connected to the connection unit 120, the amount of decrease in the output voltage of the power source 40 in the predetermined period detected in the charging mode is the first threshold value due to an error in the detected value of the output voltage. Can be suppressed by reducing the first threshold value.
- SEI Solid Electrolyte Interface, interphase solid electrolyte
- the first threshold value may be changed based on a decrease amount per predetermined period of the output voltage in the power supply mode.
- the output voltage in the power supply mode is stored in the control unit 51 every predetermined period. Accordingly, it is possible to calculate the decrease amount per predetermined period of the output voltage in the power supply mode using the output voltage of the power supply 40 stored in the power supply mode.
- the control unit 51 can feed back the decrease amount per predetermined period of the output voltage in the power supply mode to the first threshold value.
- an appropriate first threshold value can be set based on the value of the voltage drop related to the replaced new load 111R.
- the first threshold value reflecting the output voltage drop amount accompanying the deterioration of the power supply 40 can be set. The accuracy of detection can be improved.

- step S318 for determining abnormality in the charging mode
- the control unit 51 Determines an abnormality in the charging mode.
- the output voltage of the power supply 40 is detected every predetermined period in the charging mode.
- step S318 the decrease amount per predetermined period of the output voltage in the charging mode is determined by the difference between the value of the output voltage in the latest detection and the value of the output voltage in the detection immediately before the latest detection. Calculated. That is, in step S318, the difference between the latest detection value and the previous detection value is compared with the first threshold value.
- the detection value that takes a difference from the latest detection value does not necessarily have to be the latest detection value one time before, may be a detection value before the latest one time, and starts the charging mode.
- the detected value before the switch 140 is turned on may be used.
- the decrease amount per predetermined period of the output voltage in the charging mode is a predicted value derived from a plurality of output voltage values of the power source detected every predetermined period, that is, a prediction obtained from an approximate line or an approximate curve. It may be defined by a value. For example, from the value of a plurality of output voltages of the power source detected every predetermined period, approximate the decrease in the output voltage by a straight line by the least square method, and the amount of decrease in the output voltage in the charging mode per predetermined period from the approximate line The predicted value can be calculated.
- the number of data (output voltage values) for using the least square method is arbitrary, and is preferably large enough to sufficiently reduce the influence of detection errors.
- the slope of the approximate line or the differential value of the approximate curve is not “0”. Since the value is likely to be caused by dark current due to self-discharge of the power supply 40 when there is no load, the influence of detection error can be reduced.
- the amount of decrease in the output voltage in the charging mode per predetermined period is less than the predetermined number of times that the output voltage calculated from the start of the charging mode is less than the predetermined number of times.
- the number of times of detecting the output voltage calculated from the above may be changed depending on the case where the number of times is equal to or more than a predetermined number. For example, when the number of times the output voltage calculated from the start of the charging mode is detected is less than the predetermined number, as described above, the amount of decrease in the output voltage in the charging mode per predetermined period is the value of the output voltage in the latest detection. And the difference between the output voltage value in the detection one time before the latest detection.
- the amount of decrease in the output voltage in the charging mode per predetermined period is the value of the output voltage in the latest detection and the charging mode. You may calculate by the difference with the estimated value obtained based on the some output voltage detected from the start. Examples of the predicted value include the least square method as described above.
- the predetermined number of times is arbitrary but is preferably large enough to sufficiently reduce the influence of the output voltage detection error. Thereby, the influence of the detection error of the output voltage of a power supply can be suppressed in the determination in step S318.
- a slope is derived from a plurality of output voltage values of the power supply detected every predetermined period without using the above-described approximate straight line or approximate curve, and this slope is calculated per predetermined period of the output voltage in the charging mode. It may be used for the amount of decrease.
- the reduction amount per predetermined period of the output voltage of the power supply in the charging mode may be estimated based on a moving average value derived from a plurality of output voltage values.

Abstract
Description
特許文献2に記載されたように、バッテリユニットの接続部(インターフェース)にアトマイザと充電器を代替的に接続可能な電子喫煙装置が存在する。すなわち、バッテリユニットの接続部は、充電中に充電器と接続され、放電中にアトマイザと接続される。電源の充電や放電を行う際には、バッテリユニットにおけるL(トランジスタ)をONにすることにより、電源が充電器又はアトマイザと電気的に接続される。
(非燃焼型香味吸引器)
以下において、第1実施形態に係る香味吸引器について説明する。図1は、一実施形態に係る香味吸引器を示す分解図である。図2は、一実施形態に係る霧化ユニットを示す図である。図3は、バッテリユニットに設けられた電気回路を示す図である。図4は、負荷が接続された状態の負荷及びバッテリユニットの電気回路を示す図である。図5は、充電器が接続された状態の充電器及びバッテリユニットの電気回路を示す図である。
図6は、給電モードM1及び充電モードM2へ移行する制御フローの一例を示している。
図7は、一実施形態に係る給電モードを示すフローチャートである。制御部51は、給電モードM1で第1条件が満たされた場合にスイッチ140をONにする(ステップS102)。スイッチ140をONにすることで、電源40から負荷111Rへの給電が開始される。また、スイッチ140をONにする前に、電源40の出力電圧を制御部51に記憶してもよい(ステップS100)。なお、電源40から負荷111Rへ供給する電力量は、任意に制御されていてよい。例えば、電源40から負荷111Rへ供給する電力量は、パルス幅制御によって調整されていてよい。パルス幅に関するデューティ比は、100%よりも小さい値であってよい。なお、パルス幅制御に代えてパルス周波数制御によって、電源40から負荷111Rへ供給する電力量を調整してもよい。
前述した所定の範囲は、負荷111Rの通常時の電圧降下量に基づき設定される。具体的には、所定の範囲における下限値は、負荷111Rへの非給電時の電圧と負荷111Rへの給電時の電圧との差(電圧降下量)よりも小さい値に設定されていてもよい。その代わりに、所定の範囲における下限値は、正規の正常な負荷111Rが接続部120に接続されている状態において給電モードにおける所定の期間ごとの電源の出力電圧の減少量よりも小さい値に設定されていてもよい。この場合、正規の正常な負荷111Rが接続部120に接続されている場合、電源の出力電圧の変化量は所定の範囲における下限値より大きな値となることから所定の範囲に含まれるため、給電モードを継続することができる。
図9は、一実施形態に係る充電モードを示すフローチャートである。制御部51は、充電モードM2で、上記の第1条件と異なる第2条件が満たされた場合にスイッチをONにすることが好ましい。すなわち、充電モードと給電モードでスイッチをONにするための条件が異なる。スイッチ140をONにするための条件が、充電モードと給電モードにおいて互いに異なるため、誤動作を抑制し易くなる。
接続部120に負荷111Rが接続されている場合、スイッチ140がONの時の所定期間あたりの電源40の出力電圧は、負荷111Rの電気抵抗値に応じて低下していく。一方、接続部120に充電器200が接続されている場合、所定期間あたりの電源40の出力電圧は、理想的には減少しない。なぜならば、接続部120に充電器200が接続されている場合、電源40は充電器200による充電状態か無負荷状態にあり、前者であれば電源40の端子間電圧は増大し、後者であれば電源40の端子間電圧は理想的には変化しないからである。したがって、第1閾値は、接続部120に充電器200が接続された状態で実行される充電モードにおける出力電圧の所定期間あたりの減少量以下であってよい。
充電モードにおける異常を判定するステップでは、充電モードにおける出力電圧の所定期間あたりの減少量が、給電モードにおける出力電圧の所定期間あたりの減少量に基づき設定される閾値以下である場合、制御部51は、充電モードにおける異常を判断する。充電モードにおける電源の出力電圧の所定期間あたりの減少量を算出するため、充電モードにおいて電源40の出力電圧が所定期間おきに検知されている。
制御部51は、充電モードにおける異常を判定するステップS318において、充電モードにおける異常と判定すると、電源40から負荷111Rへの給電を少なくとも一時的に不能にすることを少なくとも選択的に実行可能な特定の処理を行う(図11)。図11は、そのような特定の処理の一例を示している。
図12は、図11に代わる特定の処理の別の例を示している。まず、特定の処理が開始されると、特定の変数の値を「最新の出力電圧の所定期間あたりの減少量」に設定する(ステップS500)。このように、本例において、特定の変数は、出力電圧の所定期間あたりの減少量を含む。
前述した例では、接続部120への負荷111Rの接続時に充電モードを実行する場合、言い換えると、接続部120に接続された負荷111Rを誤って充電器200と判定した場合に、制御部51は、電源40から負荷111Rへの給電を少なくとも一時的に不能にすることを少なくとも選択的に実行可能な特定の処理を行う(図11及び図12参照)。
図6~図9,図11及び図12に示された前述のフローは、制御部51が実行することができる。すなわち、制御部51は、バッテリユニット112及び香味吸引器100に前述の方法を実行させるプログラム、及び当該プログラムが格納された記憶媒体を有していてよい。
次に、第2実施形態に係る香味吸引器について図13を参照して説明する。なお、前述の実施形態と同様の構成については、同様の符号が付されており、その説明を省略することがある。以下では、前述の実施形態と異なる構成について詳細に説明する。
本発明は上述した実施形態によって説明したが、この開示の一部をなす論述及び図面は、この発明を限定するものであると理解すべきではない。この開示から当業者には様々な代替実施形態、実施例及び運用技術が明らかとなろう。
