For example, a liquid inlet pipe connected with a liquid inlet of the pump can extend into the liquid storage part, and a liquid outlet pipe connected with a liquid outlet of the pump can extend into an atomization cavity of the atomizer. Optionally, the liquid storage part in the electronic cigarette may be a tobacco tar bottle.
Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of a method of supplying liquid according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, and the embodiment illustrates that the liquid supplying method is used in an electronic cigarette. As shown in fig. 1, the liquid supply method may include:
and 110, acquiring working parameters in the working process of the atomizer, wherein the working parameters comprise at least one of the output power of the electronic cigarette, the temperature in the atomizing cavity and the working voltage of the atomizer.
The implementation of this step can be: in the working process of the atomizer, working parameters are acquired every unit time period. The duration corresponding to one unit time period is usually set by a system developer, and can also be customized by a user, for example, the system developer can set the duration corresponding to one unit time period to be 1 millisecond, 0.5 millisecond, and the like.
And 120, acquiring a liquid supply rule according to the working parameters, wherein the liquid supply rule comprises the liquid supply duration or the total liquid supply amount of liquid supplied to an atomizing cavity of the atomizer by using a pump in a unit time period.
The following liquid supply rules are explained by including liquid supply time length or liquid supply total amount:
in a first case, the liquid supply rule includes a liquid supply time length for supplying liquid to the atomizing cavity by using the pump in a unit time period, and the liquid supply rule can be obtained according to the working parameter in the following two ways:
first, determining the liquid consumption speed of the atomizer according to the working parameter; and determining the liquid supply time length in the liquid supply rule according to the liquid consumption speed and the time length of the unit time period.
The electronic cigarette can store the corresponding relation between the liquid consumption speed of the atomizer and the working parameters, the corresponding relation can be stored in the electronic cigarette in the forms of a table, an output curve and the like, and the corresponding relation can be set by a system developer through multiple experiments; after the electronic cigarette obtains the working parameters through the execution of the step 110, inquiring the liquid consumption speed corresponding to the obtained working parameters in the corresponding relation; and determining the liquid supply time length in the liquid supply rule according to the liquid consumption speed and the time length of one unit time period. The correspondence relationship may be that a plurality of working parameters correspond to one liquid consumption speed, or that one working parameter corresponds to one liquid consumption speed, which is not limited.
Wherein, the implementation of determining the liquid supply time length in the liquid supply rule according to the liquid consumption speed and the time length of one unit time period can be as follows: obtaining the working voltage of the pump, and determining the liquid supply speed of the pump according to the working voltage of the pump; and determining the liquid supply time length according to the liquid consumption speed, the time length of one unit time period and the liquid supply speed of the pump.
Optionally, the determining the liquid supply time period according to the liquid consumption speed, the time period of one unit time period and the liquid supply speed of the pump may be implemented as follows: calculating the product of the liquid consumption speed and the time length of a unit time period to obtain the smoke liquid consumption in the unit time period, and determining the smoke liquid consumption as the total liquid supply amount required by the atomizer in the unit time period; and obtaining the liquid supply speed of the pump, and calculating the ratio of the total liquid supply amount to the liquid supply speed of the pump to obtain the liquid supply duration.
In practical implementation, other processing may be performed on the liquid supply time period, for example, a constant is added, and for example, a predetermined ratio is increased, and the like, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
Secondly, detecting whether the working parameter is a preset value; if the working parameter is not a preset value, determining the liquid supply time length in the liquid supply rule according to the first mode; and if the working parameter is a preset numerical value, acquiring a liquid supply rule corresponding to the working parameter, namely acquiring the liquid supply rule corresponding to the preset numerical value.
The liquid supply rule corresponding to the preset numerical value is stored in the electronic cigarette in advance, the liquid supply rule is set by a system developer, and the system developer can determine the liquid supply time length in the liquid supply rule by referring to the first mode when the liquid supply time length in the liquid supply rule is set.
To be noted: the embodiment is exemplified by that the electronic cigarette only stores a liquid supply rule corresponding to a preset numerical value; in practical implementation, a plurality of liquid supply rules can be stored in the electronic cigarette, and each liquid supply rule corresponds to a preset numerical value; when the working parameter is any one preset value, acquiring a liquid supply rule corresponding to any one preset value; and when the working parameters are not the preset values, determining the liquid supply time length in the liquid supply rule according to the first mode.
Optionally, in this embodiment, the values of the working parameters are limited, and the electronic cigarette stores a liquid supply rule for each value of the working parameters, that is, each value of the working parameters is a predetermined value; and acquiring a liquid supply rule corresponding to the value of the working parameter. The working parameters are taken as the output power for illustration, the value number of the output power of the atomizer of the electronic cigarette is limited, and the electronic cigarette stores a liquid supply rule for each value of the output power; and acquiring a liquid supply rule corresponding to the output power value of the atomizer.
In a second case, the liquid supply rule includes a total amount of liquid supplied to the atomizing chamber by the pump in a unit time period, and the obtaining of the liquid supply rule according to the working parameter may be: and calculating the product of the liquid consumption speed and the time length of one unit time period to obtain the smoke liquid consumption in the unit time period, and determining the smoke liquid consumption as the total liquid supply amount required by the atomizer in the unit time period to obtain the total liquid supply amount in the liquid supply rule.
And step 130, controlling the pump to supply liquid to the atomizing cavity of the atomizer according to the liquid supply rule.
The following liquid supply rules are explained by including liquid supply time length or liquid supply total amount:
in a first aspect, the liquid supply rule includes a liquid supply duration for supplying liquid to the atomizing chamber by the pump during a unit time period, and the pump is controlled to supply liquid to the atomizing chamber for the liquid supply duration during the unit time period. Optionally, the liquid supply is started at the initial time of the unit time period, and the liquid supply is continued for the liquid supply time length.
For example, the output power of the atomizer is obtained every 1ms in the working process of the atomizer, and the liquid supply rule is determined according to the output power; if the liquid supply rule indicates that the liquid supply time is 0.05ms, the pump stops working after the pump supplies liquid to the atomizing cavity for 0.05 ms; and acquiring a new liquid supply rule when the output power of the atomizer is acquired next time, and supplying liquid according to the new liquid supply rule.
In the second case, the liquid supply rule comprises the total amount of liquid supplied to the atomizing cavity by the pump in a unit time period, a detection device is arranged in a liquid supply channel used by the pump for supplying liquid to the atomizing cavity, and information detected by the detection device is used for indicating the amount of liquid flowing into the atomizing cavity from the liquid supply channel; and controlling the pump to supply liquid to the atomizing cavity in the unit time period until the total amount of the liquid supplied to the atomizing cavity in the unit time period is obtained as the total amount of the liquid supplied in the liquid supply rule.
Optionally, the liquid supply is started at the start time of the unit time period, and the liquid supply is stopped until the total amount of the liquid supplied to the atomizing cavity in the unit time period is obtained as the total amount of the liquid supplied in the liquid supply rule.
The detecting device may be a detecting device for detecting a flow rate or a flow rate of the liquid, such as a liquid flow rate detector, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment.
Optionally, the steps 110 to 130 are executed when the electronic cigarette starts lighting, and the steps 110 to 130 are repeatedly executed every unit time period thereafter.
In summary, in the method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the working parameters are obtained during the working process of the atomizer, and the working parameters include at least one of the output power of the electronic cigarette, the temperature in the atomizing chamber, and the working voltage of the atomizer; obtaining a liquid supply rule according to the working parameters, wherein the liquid supply rule comprises liquid supply duration or total liquid supply amount of liquid supplied to an atomizing cavity of the atomizer by a pump within a unit time period; controlling the pump to supply liquid to the atomizing cavity according to the liquid supply rule; the problem that in the related technology, a user needs to repeatedly squeeze the tobacco tar bottle during the use process of the electronic cigarette is solved; the effect of saving the operation of the user in the using process of the electronic cigarette is achieved.
In one example, in order to avoid the dry burning problem caused by the fact that the liquid consumption speed of the atomizer is higher than the liquid supply speed of the pump, before the liquid supply time length or the total liquid supply amount in the liquid supply rule is determined according to the liquid consumption speed and the time length of one unit time period, the electronic cigarette also determines the size relation between the liquid consumption speed and a first reference value, wherein the first reference value is the maximum liquid supply speed supported when the pump operates at the highest working voltage; if the liquid consumption speed is higher than the first reference value, the fact that the liquid consumption speed of the atomizer is higher than the maximum liquid supply speed of the pump and dry burning is easy to occur is indicated, and at the moment, a reminding message for reminding that the working parameters are too high is displayed, and/or the atomizer is controlled to stop working.
The display mode of the reminding message may be any one of vibration of the electronic cigarette, voice prompt, text prompt, and the like, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment. In addition, the reminding message is displayed to prompt a user to reduce the output power or the heat preservation temperature of the electronic cigarette, so that the liquid consumption speed of the atomizer is reduced.
The pump in the electronic cigarette can support at least one working voltage, the maximum liquid supply speed of the pump is in positive correlation with the working voltage, and the electronic cigarette can control the pump to supply liquid according to the maximum liquid supply speed supported by the current working voltage of the pump when controlling the pump to supply liquid to the atomizing cavity. For example, the pump used in the current electronic cigarette can support two working voltages, which are 5V and 3.7V respectively; when the working voltage of the pump is 5V, controlling the pump to supply liquid according to the maximum liquid supply speed when the working voltage is 5V, and determining the liquid supply time length of a liquid supply rule according to the maximum liquid supply speed; and when the working voltage of the pump is 3.7V, controlling the pump to supply liquid according to the maximum liquid supply speed when the working voltage is 3.7V, and determining the liquid supply time length of the liquid supply rule according to the maximum liquid supply speed.
Optionally, before the liquid supply time length or the total liquid supply amount in the liquid supply rule is determined according to the liquid consumption speed and the time length of one unit time period, the liquid consumption speed of the electronic cigarette is in a size relationship with a second reference value, and the second reference value is the maximum liquid supply speed supported by the pump when the pump works at the lowest working voltage; if the consumption rate is higher than the second reference value, the operating voltage of the pump is set higher than the lowest operating voltage.
Wherein the operating voltage of the pump is set to be higher than the lowest operating voltage: adjusting the working voltage of the pump to the highest working voltage; or the pump supports at least three working voltages, the working voltage grade of the pump is increased until the maximum liquid supply speed corresponding to the current working voltage of the pump is higher than or equal to the liquid consumption speed, and the working voltage grade of the pump is in direct proportion to the working voltage supported by the working voltage grade.
Optionally, if the consumption rate is lower than or equal to the second reference value, the operating voltage of the pump is set to the lowest operating voltage supported by the pump. In practical implementation, if the consumption rate is lower than or equal to the second reference value, the operating voltage of the pump may also be adjusted to the highest operating voltage supported by the pump, but in this manner, the consumed electric energy and the generated heat of the pump are both higher than those of the pump operating with the lowest operating voltage.
Optionally, in the case that the pump only supports one working voltage in the electronic cigarette, the liquid supply speed of the pump at the working voltage may be stored in the electronic cigarette in advance; and in the process of determining the liquid supply time length in the liquid supply rule, the electronic cigarette calculates the liquid supply time length in the liquid supply rule by using the liquid supply speed stored in the electronic cigarette.
Optionally, under the condition that the electronic cigarette holds at least two working voltages, in the process of determining the liquid supply time length in the liquid supply rule: obtaining the working voltage of the pump, and determining the liquid supply speed of the pump according to the working voltage of the pump, wherein the liquid supply speed can be the maximum liquid supply speed of the pump under the working voltage; calculating the total liquid supply quantity required by the atomizer in a unit time period according to the liquid consumption speed and the time length of the unit time period; and calculating the ratio of the total liquid supply amount to the liquid supply speed to obtain the liquid supply time length in the liquid supply rule.
In one example, to avoid the problem of dry burning when the electronic cigarette is first lit after being turned on, the following two embodiments can be adopted:
firstly, detecting whether liquid exists in a liquid supply channel used for supplying liquid to an atomizing cavity by a pump when an electronic cigarette is started; and when no liquid is detected in the liquid supply channel, controlling the pump to work to supply liquid to the liquid supply channel or the atomizing cavity.
The detection of whether liquid exists in a liquid supply channel used for supplying liquid to the atomizing cavity by the pump can be realized by: a pressure sensor or a humidity sensor is arranged in the liquid supply channel; if the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is higher than a first preset value, determining that liquid exists in the liquid supply channel, otherwise, determining that no liquid exists in the liquid supply channel; or when the humidity value detected by the humidity sensor is higher than a second preset value, determining that liquid exists in the liquid supply channel, and otherwise, determining that no liquid exists in the liquid supply channel.
Optionally, the pressure sensor and/or the humidity sensor are/is disposed on an inner wall of the liquid supply channel, for example, on an inner wall of the liquid supply channel near one end of the atomizing chamber, or at any position on the inner wall between the middle portion and one end (near the atomizing chamber) of the liquid supply channel.
The first predetermined value and the second predetermined value are usually set by a system developer, for example, the system developer may determine, through a plurality of experiments, a lower limit value detected when liquid passes through the pressure sensor in the liquid supply channel, and for example, the system developer may determine, through a plurality of experiments, a lower limit value detected when liquid passes through the humidity sensor in the liquid supply channel.
Optionally, after the pump is controlled to supply liquid to the liquid supply channel, when liquid is detected in the liquid supply channel, whether the nebulizable liquid is in the nebulization cavity of the nebulizer is detected; if the atomization cavity of the atomizer does not contain the liquid which can be atomized, the pump is controlled to work continuously to supply liquid to the atomization cavity; if the atomizer has the liquid capable of being atomized, the pump is controlled to stop working, and the steps 110 to 130 are executed.
Wherein, whether the realization that detects the atomizing intracavity of atomizer has the liquid that can atomize can be: the liquid sucked from the liquid storage part is sprayed onto the liquid suction part in the atomizing cavity by the pump, and the bottom surface of the liquid suction part is in contact with a pressure sensor in the atomizing cavity; if the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is higher than or equal to a third preset value, the smoke liquid absorbed by the liquid absorbing part is considered to be enough and the atomized liquid is judged to exist in the atomizer, otherwise, the atomized liquid is judged not to exist in the atomizer.
It should be noted that: the third predetermined value is typically set by a system developer who, for example, can determine the lower limit pressure value detected by the pressure sensor when the wicking element is saturated as the third predetermined value.
In addition, if the atomization cavity of the atomizer is not filled with the nebulizable liquid, the pump is controlled to continue to work until the liquid amount absorbed by the liquid absorbing part reaches the limit value and stops. The specific implementation can be as follows: and controlling the pump to continue working until the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor reaches a third preset value, and stopping the pump.
Secondly, when the electronic cigarette is started, whether the atomization cavity is filled with the liquid which can be atomized is detected; if the nebulizable liquid exists in the nebulizing cavity, executing the steps 110 to 130; and if the atomization cavity is not filled with the nebulizable liquid, controlling the pump to work to supply liquid to the atomization cavity.
Optionally, if the atomization chamber is not filled with the nebulizable liquid, the pump is controlled to work to supply the liquid to the atomization chamber until the liquid amount absorbed by the liquid absorbing piece reaches a limit value. The specific implementation can be as follows: and controlling the pump to continue working until the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor reaches a third preset value, and stopping the pump.
In one example, in order to avoid that the liquid storage part (e.g., a tobacco tar bottle) is installed in an irregular manner, so that the pump cannot convey liquid in the tobacco tar bottle to the atomizing cavity, the electronic cigarette also detects the installation condition of the liquid storage part when the electronic cigarette is started; if the liquid storage part is not installed correctly, the atomizer stops being controlled to work according to the cigarette lighting signal.
In addition, the installation condition of the liquid storage part can be detected in the following modes:
firstly, controlling the pump to work continuously for a preset time; and if no liquid exists in the liquid supply channel in the process of working the pump for a preset time, judging that the liquid storage part is not installed correctly.
The predetermined length of time is typically set by a system developer, for example, the system developer may determine a maximum length of time for the pump to deliver the liquid from the reservoir to the liquid supply channel through a plurality of experiments, and determine the maximum length of time as the predetermined length of time.
Secondly, a pressure sensor is arranged on the surface of the liquid storage part, and one part of the liquid storage part is pressed against the pressure sensor when the liquid storage part is correctly installed; and if the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is lower than or equal to the fourth value, judging that the liquid storage part is not installed correctly. The fourth value is set by a system developer, for example, the fourth value may be 0.
Optionally, before detecting the installation condition of the liquid storage part, the electronic cigarette can also detect whether an atomizer is installed in the electronic cigarette and whether the pump can work normally; if the atomizer is installed in the electronic cigarette and the pump can work normally, then detecting the installation condition of the liquid storage part; if the atomizer is not installed in the electronic cigarette, a prompt message for prompting the installation of the atomizer can be displayed; if the pump is not working properly, a prompt message can be displayed to prompt that the pump is not working properly.
Optionally, after the installation condition of the liquid storage part is detected, whether liquid exists in a liquid supply channel used for supplying liquid to the atomizing cavity by the pump can be detected; and when no liquid is detected in the liquid supply channel, controlling the pump to work to supply liquid to the liquid supply channel or the atomizing cavity.
Optionally, after the installation condition of the liquid storage part is detected, before whether liquid exists in the liquid supply channel is detected, whether liquid exists in the liquid storage part is detected; if liquid exists in the liquid storage part, whether liquid exists in the liquid channel is detected. Wherein, the liquid level detector in the usable stock solution spare detects the liquid level in the stock solution spare in order to detect whether have liquid in the stock solution spare.
