Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic flow chart of an energy saving control method for an electronic cigarette according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The electronic cigarette energy-saving control method can be applied to an electronic cigarette, wherein the electronic cigarette can comprise the following steps: the device comprises an atomizing device and a power supply device, wherein the power supply device is used for supplying electric energy to the atomizing device.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the electronic cigarette energy saving control method may include step S1, step S2, and step S3.
In step S1, it is detected whether the atomizer is inserted into the power supply unit.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, detecting whether the atomization device is inserted into the power supply device may be implemented by a wake-up unit disposed in the power supply device. The wake-up unit can be implemented by detecting current or voltage on a pin or a contact electrically connected with the power supply device through the atomization device. When the atomization device is inserted into the power supply device and electrically connected with the power supply device, current or voltage is generated on a pin or a contact electrically connected with the atomization device and the power supply device, and therefore the awakening unit can detect whether the atomization device is inserted into the power supply device or not by detecting the current or the voltage on the pin electrically connected with the atomization device and the power supply device.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the wake-up unit may include a flip-flop or a flip-flop circuit similar to the flip-flop. The trigger and the trigger circuit are triggered to generate a trigger signal, namely a wake-up signal, only when the atomization device is inserted into the power supply device; when the atomization device is not inserted into the power supply device, the trigger and the trigger circuit do not generate a trigger signal. Through the awakening unit adopting the mode, the awakening unit does not generate an awakening signal when the atomization device is not detected, and the trigger does not work in the state process that the atomization device is not inserted into the power supply device, and the power supply device is not required to provide electric energy, so that the energy consumption of the power supply device can be greatly saved, and the energy consumption is further reduced.
Of course, it is understood that in other embodiments, the wake-up unit may be implemented by a trigger switch (e.g., a mechanical switch). The mechanical switch can be arranged at the joint of the power supply device and the atomization device, and after the atomization device is inserted into the power supply device, the mechanical switch is triggered to generate a trigger signal. Similarly, in the mode of adopting the trigger switch, when the power supply device is not inserted into the atomizing device, the trigger switch does not need the power supply device to supply power additionally, and only when the atomizing device is inserted into the power supply device, the trigger switch is triggered to generate a trigger signal, so that the energy consumption of the power supply device can be effectively reduced.
And step S2, if yes, generating a wake-up signal to enable the power supply device and make the power supply device enter a working state.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a power supply device includes: the device comprises a wake-up unit, a control system and a starting unit.
Specifically, step S2 includes:
in step S21, the wake-up unit generates a wake-up signal.
And step S22, the control system receives the wake-up signal and powers on according to the wake-up signal.
And step S23, after the control system is powered on, detecting the load value loaded on the power supply device by the atomization device.
And step S24, judging whether the load value loaded on the power supply device meets the preset condition.
It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the preset condition is satisfied that the load value loaded on the power supply device is within the preset range. The condition that the preset condition is not met is that the load value loaded on the power supply device is not in a preset range. The preset range of the load value may be preset, and the value of the preset range is determined by different power supply devices and atomizing devices, which is not limited in the present invention.
And step S25, if yes, the control system outputs a control signal.
And step S26, the starting unit receives the control signal and starts according to the control signal to enable the power supply device to be electrified to enter a working state.
Further, step S2 further includes:
and step S27, if the load value loaded on the power supply device does not meet the preset condition, controlling the system to power off to enable the power supply device to be in an energy-saving state.
Specifically, when the atomization device is inserted into the power supply device and electrically connected, the wake-up unit detects the motion and generates a wake-up signal. Wherein the wake-up signal is sent to the control system. The control system receives the wake-up signal and then controls power-on, monitors a load value loaded on the power supply device in real time after power-on, and outputs a control signal to start the power supply device to provide working voltage for the atomization device when the load value loaded on the power supply device meets a preset condition, and at the moment, the power supply device enters a working state; otherwise, the control system cuts off the power supply, at this moment, the power supply device does not supply power to the atomization device, and the power supply device is in an energy-saving state. By detecting the load value, the power supply device can be immediately disconnected when the atomization device does not need the power supply device to provide electric energy required by work, and the energy consumption waste and loss of the power supply device are effectively avoided.
Further, after the power supply device enters the working state, the power supply device can also carry out working indication so as to indicate the working state of the power supply device to a user. Alternatively, the operation indication may be implemented by a display unit, wherein the display unit includes, but is not limited to, a display device, an indicating device, and the like. In the embodiment of the present invention, the display device includes, but is not limited to, an LED display screen, an LCD display screen, an OLED display screen, and the like. Indicating devices include, but are not limited to, indicator lights, nixie tubes, and the like.
And step S3, if not, the power supply device keeps the power-off energy-saving state.
Further, the energy-saving control method for the electronic cigarette in the embodiment of the invention further comprises the following steps:
after the power supply device enters a working state, whether the starting unit is started or not is detected, if the starting unit is detected to be started, the control system enables the power supply device according to a starting signal generated when the starting unit is started, so that the power supply device heats the atomizing device for normal suction of a user. It can be understood that after the power supply device enters the working state, if there is no trigger action, the starting unit is powered off to save energy consumption. When there is a relevant trigger action (such as a user sucking trigger, a starting trigger, etc.), the starting unit is triggered to start, and at this time, the starting unit generates a starting signal. If the starting unit is not started, judging whether the connection time of the atomization device and the power supply device is more than or equal to the preset connection time; if the connection time of the atomization device and the power supply device is greater than or equal to the preset connection time, the control system enables the power supply device to be powered off, and the power supply device is in an energy-saving state. Generally, after the power supply device enters the working state, the power supply device provides the electric energy required by the work of the atomization device for the atomization device, and the electric energy required by the work of the atomization device is the electric energy required by a user when the user sucks the electronic cigarette.
Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: after the power supply device is connected with the atomizing device, if a user does not suck the electronic cigarette, and the time for connecting the atomizing device with the power supply device is longer than the preset connection time, the control system controls the power supply device to stop supplying electric energy to the atomizing device, so that the power supply device is in an energy-saving state, and the aim of further reducing energy consumption is fulfilled.
In the embodiment of the invention, the atomizing device is electrically connected with the power supply device, and when a user sucks according to a demand, the control system can detect the sucking action, and then the control system is activated and controls the power supply device to supply the required electric energy to the atomizing device, so that the electronic cigarette can normally work, and the normal sucking demand of the user is met. It will be appreciated that when the user draws on demand the electronic cigarette, the enabling unit is simultaneously activated and generates an activation signal, at which point the generated activation signal is detected by the control system, which is powered on in response to the activation signal.
Further, the energy-saving control method for the electronic cigarette in the embodiment of the present invention further includes: after the power supply device enters a working state, monitoring whether the starting unit works or not; if not, judging whether the time for stopping the work of the starting unit is greater than or equal to the preset stop time or not; and if the time for stopping the starting unit is more than or equal to the preset stop time, the control system is powered off, so that the power supply device is in an energy-saving state. When the starting unit stops working, whether the user has a pumping requirement in a short time can be judged by monitoring the time for stopping working of the starting unit, when the time for stopping working of the starting unit is greater than or equal to the preset stopping time, the user is considered to have no pumping requirement in the short time, at the moment, the control system is powered off, and then the power supply device is controlled to no longer provide electric energy required by working for the atomizing device, so that the power supply device enters an energy-saving state, and the energy consumption of the power supply device is further reduced.
By implementing the energy-saving control method of the electronic cigarette, the energy consumption of the power supply device can be effectively controlled under the condition that the atomization device is connected or not connected with the power supply device, the electric energy consumption of the power supply device is reduced, the phenomenon that the electric quantity of the power supply device is reduced or exhausted due to the fact that devices in the power supply device are standby for a long time is avoided, and the phenomenon that the electric quantity of the power supply device is reduced or exhausted due to the fact that the atomization device is connected with the power supply device for a long time is also. In addition, the implementation of the energy-saving control method of the electronic cigarette can realize that: when the standby power supply device is in standby power supply state, only part of devices or circuits in the power supply device are in standby power supply state, and the rest of devices or circuits are in power-off state, so that the energy consumption of the power supply device can be effectively reduced, the endurance time of the power supply device is longer, and the user experience is effectively improved.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the electronic cigarette energy-saving control device further includes: whether the atomization device is inserted into a wake-up unit of the power supply device is detected.

Optionally, the wake-up unit in the embodiment of the present invention may exist separately, or may be disposed in the power supply device.
Further, the wake-up unit according to the embodiment of the present invention may include: a flip-flop or a flip-flop circuit.
The trigger and the trigger circuit generate a trigger signal when the atomization device is inserted into the power supply device; the trigger signal is a wake-up signal. It can be understood that the trigger and the trigger circuit trigger the generation of the trigger signal, i.e. the wake-up signal, only when the atomizer is inserted into the power supply device; when the atomization device is not inserted into the power supply device, the trigger and the trigger circuit do not generate a trigger signal.

The mechanical switch can be arranged at the joint of the power supply device and the atomization device, and after the atomization device is inserted into the power supply device, the mechanical switch is triggered to generate a trigger signal. Similarly, in the mode of adopting the trigger switch, when the power supply device is not inserted into the atomizing device, the trigger switch does not need the power supply device to supply power additionally, and only when the atomizing device is inserted into the power supply device, the trigger switch is triggered to generate a trigger signal, so that the energy consumption of the power supply device can be effectively reduced.
Further, the power supply device according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes: a control system and a start unit.

In the embodiment of the invention, the starting unit receives the control signal and is started according to the control signal, so that the power supply device enters a working state to heat the atomization device.
Further, the control system of the embodiment of the present invention is further configured to enable the power supply device to be powered off and to be in an energy saving state if the load value of the power supply device does not meet the preset condition after the power supply device is powered on.
