本申请一实施例提供了一种气溶胶生成装置100，如图1所示，气溶胶生成装置100包括电芯10、主板20及加热元件30，主板20上设置有气溶胶生成装置100的控制器，电芯10及加热元件30分别和控制器电连接，从而控制器可控制电芯10向加热元件30提供电能。气溶胶生成装置100中还设有纵向延伸的腔室40，腔室40用于收容和气溶胶生成装置100配套使用的气溶胶生成制品200，加热元件30附着于腔室40的外壁，从而可给腔室40中的气溶胶生成制品200进行加热，气溶胶生成制品200内部填充的部分活性物质受热挥发即可产生气溶胶，用户在气溶胶生成制品200上抽吸即可吸食到该气溶胶。
气溶胶生成制品200优选采用加热时从制品中释放的挥发化合物的含烟草的材料；或者也可以是能够加热之后适合于电加热发烟的非烟草材料。气溶胶生成制品200优选采用固体基质，可以包括香草叶、烟叶、均质烟草、膨胀烟草中的一种或多种的粉末、颗粒、碎片细条、条带或薄片中的一种或多种；或者，固体基质可以包含附加的烟草或非烟草的挥发性香味化合物，以在基质受热时被释放。
在一些实施例中，加热元件30可以是包覆在腔室40外壁的网状电阻发热体，网状电阻发热体40与主板20电连接，加热元件30通电之后产生热量，并通过腔室40的腔壁将热量传递给腔室40中的气溶胶生成制品200。腔室40的腔体采用高导热材质制作而成，以将加热元件30产生的热量高效率的传导至气溶胶生成制品200。高导热材料可以是金属或陶瓷材料，而陶瓷材料可以是氧化物、氮化物、碳化物、硼化物等其中的任何一种。
在如图2所示的另一实施例中，气溶胶生成装置100还可以采用电磁感应加热的方式给气溶胶生成制品200进行加热。加热元件30至少部分延伸至腔室40中，并且其伸入至腔室40中的端部被构成销钉状或者片状，以便加热元件30顺畅的插入至气溶胶生成制品200中进行加热。腔室40的外壁绕制有线圈50，控制器控制电芯10向线圈50中通入交变电流，线圈50在交变 电流的作用下产生变化的磁场，该变化的磁场穿透加热元件30进而使加热元件30感应出涡流，加热元件30在涡流效应以及磁滞效应的作用下产生热量，进而可对气溶胶生成基质200进行加热。
合适的加热元件30的材料可以是石墨、钼、碳化硅、不锈钢、铌、铝、镍、铁、铜、含镍化合物、钛以及金属材料复合物其中任何一种。在一些实施例中，为更好的感应出涡流以提高加热效率，加热元件30的材料优选采用铁磁材料或由铁磁材料组成，铁磁材料例如铁素体铁、铁磁合金(例如铁磁钢或不锈钢)、铁磁颗粒和铁氧体。
在一些式实施例中，控制器可以为通用处理器、数字信号处理器(DSP)、专用集成电路(ASIC)、现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)、单片机、ARM(Acorn RISC Machine)或其它可编程逻辑器件、分立门或晶体管逻辑、分立的硬件组件或者这些部件的任何组合。还有，控制器还可以是任何传统处理器、控制器、微控制器或状态机。控制器也可以被实现为计算设备的组合，例如，DSP和微处理器的组合、多个微处理器、一个或多个微处理器结合DSP和/或任何其它这种配置，控制器6还可以为洗衣机的变频板或主控板。
基于上述的气溶胶生成装置100，本申请一实施例提供了一气溶胶生成装置100的控制方法，以在电芯10电量不足的情况下，阻止气溶胶生成装置100在下一个工作周期中启动加热，避免气溶胶生成装置100在下一个工作周期中过程中产生较大的异常，如图3所示，所述方法包括：
S10，获取当前工作周期中所述电芯输出的最低电压值；
气溶胶生成装置100的一个工作周期通常包括预热阶段和抽吸阶段，预热阶段是指电芯10大功率给加热元件30供电，从而使加热元件30快速加热到预设温度，该预设温度能够使气溶胶生成制品200受热挥发产生合适的气溶胶；而抽吸阶段是指用户将气溶胶生成制品200插入至气溶胶生成装置100进行抽吸的阶段，在抽吸阶段电芯10用一个相对小的功率将加热元件30的温度基本维持在预设温度，保证用户在整个抽吸阶段抽吸时都能够产生合适的气溶胶。
由于在预热阶段是以大功率给加热元件20供电，并且该功率通常是恒定的，因此在预热阶段结束时的那一刻，也就是从预热阶段切换到抽吸阶段的那一刻，电芯10的输出电压在当前工作周期中是最低的。另外，气溶胶生成 装置100通常在每个工作周期中，其预热阶段的功率和预热阶段的时长都是相同的，因此，在气溶胶生成装置100没有被充电的情况下，气溶胶生成装置100在当前工作周期中，其电芯10在预热阶段结束时的输出电压比在上一个工作周期中预热阶段结束时的输出电压要低。
如图4所示的两个工作周期的加热曲线可知，第二工作周期(下一个工作周期)比第一个工作周期(当前工作周期)在预热阶段结束时电芯10的输出电压要低，其中t1之前的时间段为预热阶段，t1之后的时间段为抽吸阶段，并且在预热阶段开始时，第二工作周期电芯10的空载电压小于第一工作周期电芯10的空载电压。因此，通过获取当前工作周期中预热阶段结束时电芯10输出的电压值，可获取到电芯10在没有被充电的情况下其输出电压当前所能达到的最小值。
具体的，为准确获取预热阶段结束时电芯10输出的电压值，可在加热元件30达到预设温度时进行获取，例如可在气溶胶生成装置100设置测温元件，测温元件和控制器电连接，测温元件可以是热电偶或红外测温方式对加热元件20的温度进行监测，当加热元件30的温度达到预设温度时，测温元件将预设温度反馈给控制器，控制器即可根据该预设温度控制获取电芯10的输出电压值。
或者，在一些实施例中，根据TCR(temperature coefficient of resistance，电阻温度系数)定义式可知：
TCR＝(R2-R1)/R1*1/(T2-T1)
加热元件30的温度也可以通过加热元件30的电阻值去表征，即预热温度可以为表征为加热元件30的预设电阻值，通过测量加热元件30的电压和电流可获取到加热元件30的实际电阻值，当实际电阻值达到预设电阻值时，说明加热元件30已达到预设温度，此时气溶胶生成装置100正从预热阶段切换为抽吸阶段，控制器即可控制获取电芯10的输出电压值，从而得到预热阶段结束时电芯10的输出电压值。
在一些实施例中，获取当前工作周期中所述电芯输出的最低电压值还可以采用如下方法，如图5所示，
S11，获取所述电芯的当前输出电压值；
S12，将所述当前输出电压值与所述电芯的上一次输出电压值进行比较；
S13，若所述当前输出电压值小于所述电芯的上一次输出电压值，则将所述当前输出电压值进行保存；
如所述当前输出电压值大于所述电芯的上一次输出电压值，则将所述上一次输出电压值进行保存。
具体的，可在气溶胶生成装置100中设置电压检测单元，电压检测单元与气溶胶生成装置的控制器电连接，控制器被配置为定时的控制电压检测单元检测电芯10的输出电压，并将当前电芯10的输出电压值与上一次电芯10输出的电压值进行比较，若当前电压值小于电芯10上一次输出的电压值，则将当前输出电压值进行保存；若所述当前电压值大于所述电芯输出的上一次电压值，则将所述上一次电压值进行保存。
例如，电压检测单元检测到的电芯10当前输出电压为3.9V，而上一次电芯10的输出电压为4.0V，则控制器将当前输出的3.9V进行保存；而如果上一次电芯10的输出电压为3.8V，则控制器将上一次3.8V的电压值进行保存，从而通过该逐次对比的方式，在整个工作周期完成后，控制器中保存的即是电芯10在整个工作周期中最低的输出电压值。
S20，将所述电压值与所述阈值电压进行比较；
S30，若所述电压值小于所述阈值电压，则控制输出警示标志，并将所述警示标志进行储存，以使所述气溶胶生成装置在下一次工作时根据所述警示标志不启动加热。
通过步骤S10获取到电芯10在预热阶段结束时的输出电压值后，可在气溶胶生成装置100中预设设置一个阈值电压，将该电压值和阈值电压进行比较，该阈值电压指的是能基本满足气溶胶生成装置100整个系统在当前工作周期中正常工作所需要的最小电压值。
阈值电压例如可以是系统最低运行电压，系统最低运行电压是系统正常运行的任何时间,系统中任何一点所出现的最低运行电压值。具体的，阈值电压可以是LDO(Low Dropout Regulator，低压差线性稳压器)的最小输入电压，主板20上除了设置有控制器之外，通常还设置有LDO电路，LDO电连接在电芯10和主板20上的MCU或MCU的外围设备之间，对电芯10的输出电压进行稳压，然后将该稳定后的电压供给MCU或MCU的外围设备。LDO的输入电压通常具有一个范围，其具有最小的输入电压，当电芯10的输出电 压值小于LDO的最小输入电压时，LDO将不能很好地进行稳压，从而导致MCU或MCU的外围设备的供电受到影响。LDO作为电芯10后一级的供电模块，是气溶胶生成装置100中系统最低运行电压中比较关键的一个电压，因此，阈值电压采用LDO的最小输入电压是比较合适的。
当电芯10的输出电压值小于该阈值电压时，控制器控制输出警示标志，并将警示标志进行储存。当气溶胶生成装置100在一个工作周期时，控制器会控制气溶胶生成装置100先检测是否有该警示标志，如果检测到该警示标志，说明电芯10的电量已不足，不能支持气溶胶生成装置100完成此次工作周期，或者说由于电芯10的电量已不足，在此次工作周期中将会导致气溶胶生成装置100存在异常情况，则控制器根据该警示标志控制加热元件30不启动。在一些实施例中，控制器可根据该警示标志在控制加热元件30不启动的同时，可控制气溶胶生成装置100执行其他的功能，例如控制指示灯正常工作实现指示功能；或者，在一些实施例中，控制器可根据该警示标志控制整个气溶胶生成装置100都不启动，当然此时加热元件30也不会启动。
需要说明的是，控制器在当前工作中输出警示标志后，控制器不会控制加热元件30停止工作，也就是说在当前工作周期中，即使输出了警示标志，但加热元件30依然会继续工作，以便用户在当前工作周期中完成抽吸，但可能会带来抽吸口感的降低。
在一些实施例中，预热阶段完成时气溶胶生成装置100会通过提示单元产生提示信息，以告知用户预热阶段已完毕，提示单元例如可以是振动马达、指示灯等。因此，阈值电压还可以是这些提示单元正常工作所需要的最小电压，当电芯10的输出电压值小于提示单元的最小电压时，也就是小于阈值电压时，提示单元将不能正常工作，提示单元无法在预热阶段结束时产生提示信息，从而用户不知道气溶胶生成装置100何时完成预热，因此，采用提示单元正常工作所需要的最小电压作为阈值电压也是比较合理的。
在一些实施例中，产生了警示标志之后，还需要对警示标志进行解除，以便在气溶胶生成装置100重新充电之后能够正常使用，如图6所示，所述控制方法还包括：
S40，获取所述气溶胶生成装置的充电信号；
S50，根据所述充电信号解除所述警示标志。
气溶胶生成装置100通常还包括充放电单元，充放电单元与控制器电连接，用于控制外部的适配器或充电宝等充电设备给电芯10进行充电，当气溶胶生成装置100进行充电时，控制器即可获取到充电信号，控制器根据该充电信号进而可解除警示标志，由于电芯10在充电之后其电量得到补充，无需再对气溶胶生成装置100设置该警示标志。
进一步在一些实施例中，为避免用户对气溶胶生成装置100的充电时间过短，导致电芯10的电能不能得到很好的补充，步骤S50进一步还可以包括：
S51，记录所述充电信号的保持时长；
具体的，可在气溶胶生成装置100中设置计时器，计时器和控制器电连接，当控制器获取到充电信号时，控制器同时控制计时器启动工作，以记录充电信号的保持时长，直到用户不再对气溶胶生成装置100进行充电。
S52，若所述保持时长达到预设时长，则控制解除所述警示标志；若所述保持时长小于所述预设时长，则保持所述警示标志。
具体的，气溶胶生成装置100中预先可设置有预设时长，该步骤S51中的保持时长达到预设时长时，则说明电芯10的电量以得到较为充足的补充，控制器可解除警示标志，以恢复气溶胶生成装置100的正常使用；而当保持时长小于该预设时长时，则说明充电时间过短，电芯10的电量补充的较小，不能维持气溶胶生成装置100完成下一次完整的工作周期，因此需要继续将该警示标志继续保持。同时，为使用户得知充电时间过短会导致气溶胶生成装置100在下一次工作周期中不会启动加热，当用户取消对气溶胶生成装置100充电的同时，可设置提示信息，以告知用户充电时间过短，不能启动加热类似的内容，从而可使用户继续进行充电，以使充电时长达到预设时长。
在一些实施例中，也可以不用将电芯10输出的最低电压值和阈值电压进行比较，如图8所示，本申请另一实施例提供的气溶胶生成装置100的控制方法步骤流程图，该方法包括：
S60，获取所述电芯的输出电压值；
S70，将所述输出电压值与预设的阈值电压进行比较；
S80，若所述输出电压值小于所述阈值电压，则产生警示标志，并将所述警示标志进行储存；
S90，根据所述警示标志，确定所述气溶胶生成装置在下一个工作周期不 启动加热。
具体的，气溶胶生成装置100中设置有用于检测电芯10输出电压的电压检测单元，电压检测单元和控制器电连接，电压检测单元可将检测到的电芯10当前的输出电压值发送给控制器，同时气溶胶生成装置100的控制器中预先存储有阈值电压，从而控制器即可将电芯10的输出电压值和阈值电压进行比较。阈值电压指的是能基本满足气溶胶生成装置100整个系统在当前工作周期中正常工作所需要的最小电压值。
如果电芯10的输出电压值小于阈值电压，则说明此时电芯10中的电量已消耗较大，如果在不充电的情况下，电芯10的电量不足以维持气溶胶生成装置100完成下一个工作周期，也就是不足以在下一个工作周期中完成完整的加热过程，因此控制器即产生警示标志，并将该警示标志进行保存。当气溶胶生成装置100在下一个工作周期中启动时，气溶胶生成装置100可预先检查是否有该警示标志，若检测到该警示标志，则控制器可根据该警示标志控制加热元件30不工作，也就是控制气溶胶生成装置100不启动加热，避免气溶胶生成装置100在下一个工作周期中因电芯10的电量不足而产生异常。
而如果电芯10的输出电压值大于阈值电压，则说明是此时电芯10的电量较为充足，则控制器控制不产生该警示标志，气溶胶生成装置100在下一个工作周期中可正常进行加热。控制器可控制气溶胶生成装置100在当前工作周期中定时的获取电芯10的输出电压值，获取的频次越高，次数越多，则更能及时的判断出电芯10当前的输出电压值是否小于阈值电压。
故本实施例提供的气溶胶生成装置100的控制方法不需要去获取电芯10在当前工作周期中输出的最低电压值，只需将每次获取的电芯10的输出电压直接的去和阈值电压进行比较，如果在某次比较当中，电芯10的输出电压值小于阈值电压，则产生警示标志。
进一步的，如图7所示，控制器包括：至少一个处理器；以及，与至少一个处理器通信连接的存储器，图7中以一个处理器为例。存储器存储有可被至少一个处理器执行的指令，指令被至少一个处理器执行，以使至少一个处理器能够执行上述实施例的控制方法。处理器和存储器可以通过总线或者其他方式连接，图7中以通过总线连接为例。
处理器可以通过使用以下各项中的至少一种来实现：专用集成电路 (ASIC)、数字信号处理器(DSP)、数字信号处理装置(DSPD)、可编程逻辑器件(PLD)、现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)、处理器、控制器、微控制器、微处理器、执行这些功能的其他电子单元。
存储器包括高速随机存取存储器，还可以包括非易失性存储器，例如至少一个磁盘存储器件、闪存器件、或其他非易失性固态存储器件。在一些实施例中，存储器可选包括相对于处理器远程设置的存储器，这些远程存储器可以通过网络连接至气溶胶生成器具。上述网络的实例包括但不限于互联网、企业内部网、局域网、移动通信网及其组合。
存储器用于存储非易失性软件程序、非易失性计算机可执行程序以及模块，如本文涉及的控制方法/装置对应的程序指令/单元。处理器通过运行存储在存储器中的非易失性软件程序、指令以及单元，从而执行气溶胶生成器具的各种功能应用以及数据处理，即实现上述实施例所述的控制方法。
最后应说明的是：以上实施例仅用以说明本申请的技术方案，而非对其限制；在本申请的思路下，以上实施例或者不同实施例中的技术特征之间也可以进行组合，步骤可以以任意顺序实现，并存在如上所述的本申请的不同方面的许多其它变化，为了简明，它们没有在细节中提供；尽管参照前述实施例对本申请进行了详细的说明，本领域的普通技术人员应当理解：其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改，或者对其中部分技术特征进行等同替换；而这些修改或者替换，并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请各实施例技术方案的范围。
