在另一个示例中，雾化腔底部设置有进气孔，该进气孔内设置有单向阀，该雾化装置还设置与该进气孔连通的导液通道、气泵，该导液通道设置于储液腔内部，该导液通道与雾化腔连通；所述气泵工作时产生的气流经该进气孔进入导液通道将导液通道内液体推动至雾化腔中实现供液。
其中，雾化装置的雾化腔内设置有发热件，发热件的阻值随着发热件的温度变化而发生变化。可选的，发热件可以为NTC(英文：Negative Temperature Coefficient)发热件，也可以PTC(英文：Positive Temperature Coefficient)发热件，如，SS316温变发热丝，本申请对此不作具体限定。
请参考图1，其示出了本发明一个实施例提供的雾化器的供液方法的方法流程图，本实施例以该供液方法用于电子烟中来举例说明。如图1所示，该供液方法可以包括：
步骤110，在发热件进行发热时，采集发热件的阻值，该发热件的阻值随着发热件的温度变化而变化。
电子烟内可设置有电阻阻值采样电路，该电阻阻值采样电路用于采集发热件的阻值。
本步骤的实现可以为：在发热件进行发热时，每隔一个单位时间段采集一次发热件的阻值。其中，一个单位时间段对应的时长通常由系统开发人员设定，也可由用户自定义，例如系统开发人员可设定一个单位时间段对应的时长为1毫秒、0.5毫秒等等。
步骤120，根据发热件的阻值获取供液规则，该供液规则包括利用泵向雾化腔供液的供液速度、单位时间段内利用泵向雾化腔供液的供液时长中至少一种。
以下按照泵的工作电压的两种调节方式分别进行说明：
第一种调节方式：泵的工作电压仅能够在预定的1个或多个工作电压中进行切换，则步骤120的实现可以为：电子烟中可存储有雾化器的耗液速度、发热件的阻值之间的对应关系，该对应关系可以以表格、输出曲线等形式存储在电子烟中，该对应关系可以由系统开发人员经过多次实验设定；电子烟通过执行步骤110采集到发热件的阻值，在该对应关系中查询采集到该发热件的阻值对应的耗液速度；根据该耗液速度获取供液规则，该供液规则中包括供液时长。
在实际实现时，也可先根据发热件的阻值查询发热件的温度，电子烟内存储发热件阻值与其温度之间的对应关系；查询该发热件的温度所对应的耗液速度；再根据该耗液速度获取供液规则，该供液规则中包括供液时长。
在一个示例中，若泵的工作电压为固定值不可调节，根据该耗液速度获取供液规则的实现可以为：计算该发热件的阻值对应的耗液速度与一个单位时间段的时长的乘积得到一个单位时间段的烟液消耗量；再计算该烟液消耗量与泵的供液速度的商得到供液规则中一个单位时间段内利用泵向雾化腔供液的供液时长。其中，泵的供液速度是指该泵在上述固定值电压的驱动下所能够得到的最大供液速度。
在另一个示例中，若泵的工作电压可在多个工作电压中切换，根据该耗液速度获取供液规则的实现可以为：如果耗液速度高于第二参考值，设置泵的工作电压高于最低工作电压，第二参考值为泵以最低工作电压工作时所支持的最大供液速度；如果耗液速度低于或等于第二参考值，设置泵的工作电压为最低工作电压；获取设置的泵的工作电压，以及根据设置的泵的工作电压确定泵的供液速度；根据设置的泵的供液速度、发热件的阻值获取供液规则，该供液规则包括单位时间段内利用泵向雾化腔供液的供液时长。
其中，根据泵的供液速度、发热件的阻值获取供液规则的具体实现可以为：计算该发热件的阻值对应的耗液速度与一个单位时间段的时长的乘积得到一个单位时间段的烟液消耗量；再计算该烟液消耗量与泵在上述设置的工作电压驱动下的最大供液速度的商得到供液规则中一个单位时间段内利用泵向雾化腔供液的供液时长，该供液规则还包括为泵设置的工作电压。
其中，若泵支持的工作电压不仅仅包括最低工作电压、最高工作电压，还包括其他的工作电压；则在耗液速度高于第二参考值时，设置泵的工作电压高于最低工作电压的具体实现可以为：调高泵的工作电压等级直至泵设置的工作电压对应最大供液速度高于或等于该耗液速度，泵的工作电压等级与其支持的工作电压呈正比。
在实际实现时，还可对该供液时长进行其他处理，例如增加一个常数，再例如提高预定比例等等，本实施例对此不作具体限定。
第二种调节方式：泵的工作电压能够切换至最低工作电压、最高工作电压之间的任一电压值，则步骤120可通过以下几种方式实现：电子烟中可存储有 雾化器的耗液速度、发热件的阻值之间的对应关系，该对应关系可以以表格、输出曲线等形式存储在电子烟中，该对应关系可以由系统开发人员经过多次实验设定；在该对应关系中查询采集到该发热件的阻值对应的耗液速度；将该耗液速度添加至供液规则中。使得电子烟在按照该供液规则进行工作时，能够控制该泵按照数值与该耗液速度相等的供液速度进行供液。
在实际实现时，也可先根据发热件的阻值查询发热件的温度，电子烟内存储发热件阻值与其温度之间的对应关系；查询该发热件的温度所对应的耗液速度；再将该耗液速度添加至供液规则中。
步骤130，按照该供液规则控制泵向雾化腔供液。
本步骤可通过以下几种方式实现：
第一种，泵的工作电压为固定值不可调节，该供液规则中包括一个单位时间段内利用泵向雾化腔供液的供液时长，则步骤130的实现可以为：在一个单位时间段内控制该泵工作达到该供液规则中指定的供液时长。可选的，在单位时间段的起始时刻开始供液，持续供液达到该供液时长。
举例来讲，在发热件发热过程中每隔1ms获取一次发热件的阻值，根据该发热件的阻值确定供液规则；如果该供液规则指示供液时长为0.05ms，则利用泵向雾化腔供液0.05毫秒后泵停止工作；下一次获取发热件的阻值时再获取新的供液规则，按照新的供液规则进行供液。
第二种，泵的工作电压能够在预定个工作电压中切换，该供液规则包括为泵设置的工作电压以及供液时长，则步骤130的实现可以为：在一个单位时间段内控制该泵按照该供液规则中的工作电压持续进行工作达到该供液规则中的供液时长。可选的，在一个单位时间段的起始时刻开始供液，持续供液达到该供液时长。
第三种，泵的工作电压能够切换至最低工作电压、最高工作电压之间的任一电压值，该供液规则中包括供液速度，则步骤130的实现可以为：获取该供液速度对应的工作电压，控制泵按照该工作电压工作使得泵的供液速度达到供液规则中指定的供液速度；实现了发热件的温度升高则提高泵的供液速度，发热件的温度下降则降低泵的供液速度，达到供液、烟液消耗平衡。
综上所述，本发明实施例提供的方法，通过在发热件进行发热时，采集发热件的阻值，该发热件的阻值随着发热件的温度变化而变化；根据发热件的阻 值获取供液规则，该供液规则包括利用泵向雾化腔供液的供液速度、单位时间段内利用泵向雾化腔供液的供液时长中至少一种；照该供液规则控制泵向雾化腔供液；解决了目前电子烟容易出现供液、烟液消耗不平衡的问题导致电子烟发生干烧的问题；达到了避免干烧、炸油以及提高电子烟的抽吸口感的效果。
可选的，在按照供液规则控制泵向所述雾化腔供液之后，根据发热件的阻值确定发热件的温度是否达到预定温度值；如果发热件的温度达到预定温度值，说明雾化装置内泵无法向雾化腔供液，则此时控制发热件停止发热。这里所讲的预定温度值通常由开发人员设定，例如开发人员根据发热件干烧时的温度确定预定温度值。
其中，根据发热件的阻值确定发热件的温度是否达到预定温度值可通过以下两种方式实现：1、根据发热件的阻值确定发热件的温度，例如电子烟内存储有发热件的阻值与发热件温度之间的对应关系，获取该发热件的阻值所对应的温度得到发热件的温度；确定发热件的温度与预定温度值之间的大小关系；2、发热件为NTC发热件，如果发热件的阻值小于或等于预定电阻值，则确定发热件的温度达到预定温度值，该预定电阻值为发热件在预定温度值下的电阻值。
可选的，如果根据发热件的阻值确定发热件的温度达到预定温度值，获取储液腔内剩余液体量；如果剩余液体量低于预定液体量，可能是储液腔内烟液较少而导致泵无法供液至雾化腔，则展示用于提示向储液腔补充液体的第一提示信息；如果剩余液体量达到预定液体量，则展示用于提示检修泵的第二提示信息。
其中，获取储液腔内剩余烟液量可通过多种方式实现，例如可通过在储液腔内设置液位检测器以确定储液腔内剩余烟液量，再例如可在雾化器被安装至电子烟本体时开始计算烟液消耗量，利用雾化器内总烟液量减去烟液消耗量得到剩余烟液量，本申请不再一一赘述。另外，预定液体量通常由开发人员设定，也可以由用户自定义，第一提示信息、第二提示信息的展示方式可以通过显示屏文字提示、语音提示、震动提示、蜂鸣器提示等等中任一种，本实施例对此不做具体限定。
本申请所涉及的电子烟可由电子烟用户操作设定雾化器的工作参数，这里所讲的工作参数包括工作电压、工作电流、输出功率等等中任一种；可选的，在采集发热件的阻值之后，还可根据发热件的阻值确定发热件的耗液速度；如果耗液速度高于第一参考值，则展示用于提示工作参数过高的第三提示信息，和/或，控制发热件停止发热，以避免电子烟用户设置的工作参数过高容易导致干烧；其中，第一参考值为泵以最高工作电压工作时所支持的最大供液速度。
可选的，电子烟在接收到点烟信号时，控制雾化器按照设定的工作参数进行雾化工作，执行如图1所示的几个步骤。
可选的，采集发热件的阻值之后，还根据发热件的阻值确定发热件的积碳量；在发热件的积碳量达到报警阈值时，展示用于提示清理发热件的第四提示信息。其中，根据发热件的阻值确定发热件的积碳量的具体实现可以为：统计该发热件保持该阻值的持续时长；获取该阻值对应的积碳速度，计算该积碳速度与持续时长的乘积，利用该乘积更新该发热件的积碳量。其中，电子烟内存储发热件的阻值、积碳速度之间的对应关系，该对应关系通常由开发人员设定。
