Description

Control method, system, equipment and storage medium of aerosol generating device

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of aerosol generating devices, and in particular, to a method, a system, an apparatus, and a storage medium for controlling an aerosol generating device.

Background

An aerosol generating device is an electronic device simulating cigarettes, and is characterized in that atomized substrate tobacco liquid (such as tobacco tar, nicotine and the like) or solid (such as tobacco) or gel (such as tobacco paste) and the like are heated to become aerosol by means of atomization and the like, and then a user sucks the aerosol to obtain satisfaction of nicotine or other tastes. Because the heating aerosol generating device generates higher temperature during working, the child lock function can be designed for preventing false touch and use by minors, and accidental starting is prevented for working.

The existing aerosol generating device has a child lock function according to relevant regulations, but the current child lock function is manually opened or closed. And when the child lock function is closed so that the aerosol generating device is in an unlocked state, the user defaults the aerosol generating device to be in a safe-to-use state. In fact, however, the locking only temporarily cuts off the faulty circuit of the aerosol-generating device, which is again turned on when the aerosol-generating device is used in the unlocked state, at which point the child lock does not play any protective role and the user is not aware of the danger of continued use. Therefore, under the environments of use, carrying, storage and the like, the aerosol generating device is still continuously and accidentally started, which may cause problems of excessive damage to circuit elements due to heating, excessive charge damage to batteries, thermal damage to structural parts and the like, and other accidental risks are caused by high temperature generated to the surrounding environment.

In the prior art, the child lock control of an aerosol generating device (hereinafter referred to as an appliance) is not convenient enough, and the use safety coefficient is not high enough. The invention discovers that the opening and closing of the child lock function in the existing appliance are realized by manual opening and manual closing, and the manual opening or closing is only used for bringing great inconvenience to the user in the use process, and when the appliance fails accidentally, the user does not discover that the child lock is not opened, thus playing a role in protection. The inventor also finds that the prior art defaults that when the child lock function is closed, the appliance is in a safe use state, the fault circuit is only temporarily switched off when the child lock function is ignored and is switched on again when the child lock function is closed, so that the appliance is continuously at risk of accidents. Even more feasibly, the user is not aware of the failure of the electrical circuit of the appliance, and therefore does not check the risk of the appliance from failing in time, at which point the safety factor of the user using the appliance is greatly reduced. The invention is expected to improve the convenience of unlocking and locking control and the safety coefficient of the use of the lifting appliance.

In a first aspect, referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides a control method of an aerosol-generating device having an unlocked and a locked state, the control method comprising the steps of:

S1: judging whether the aerosol generating device generates a locking condition or not when the aerosol generating device is in an unlocking state;

If not, executing step S2, and keeping the aerosol generating device in an unlocked state;

if so, step S3 is performed to put the aerosol-generating device in a locked state.

Wherein the lock condition is generated when an abnormality occurs in the circuit in the aerosol generating device. The circuit is abnormal, and can be specifically in the case of circuit faults such as short circuit, overcurrent, overvoltage and overheat.

By adopting the technical scheme, the invention realizes the control of the locking state and the unlocking state in an automatic identification mode, and improves the convenience of use of users. When the aerosol generating device is in the unlocking state and is used, the circuit abnormality is timely identified and locking is realized, the inherent concept that unlocking can be performed by a user is broken, continuous use is prevented under the condition that the aerosol generating device has a fault problem, potential accident risks are avoided, and the safety coefficient of the user is greatly improved.

Referring to fig. 2, in the present embodiment, in the unlocked state in fig. 1, the aerosol generating device may be in the unlocked state by manually controlling the unlocking by a user, and specifically further includes the following steps:

s01: judging whether the aerosol generating device generates a manual control unlocking instruction of a user or not;

if not, executing step S02, and keeping the aerosol generating device in a locked state;

If yes, go to step S03, put the aerosol-generating device in an unlocked state.

In the embodiment, the device can be unlocked only through manual control of a user, so that the user can conveniently realize that the circuit of the device is abnormal, the use risk is eliminated in time, the device is prevented from being used continuously under the condition that the fault problem of the device is not solved, the potential accident risk is avoided, and the safety coefficient of the user is greatly improved. And after waiting for the manual control of unlocking by the user, continuing to judge the locking condition. The invention is also an improvement specifically directed to the user's manual unlocking of the aerosol-generating device for subsequent prevention of risk, for example, an improvement directed to an aerosol-generating device with child lock functionality.

In the above embodiment, the unlocking is performed by a manual control manner of a user, as shown in fig. 3, and the aerosol generating device in this embodiment may further implement an automatic unlocking function, where the control method specifically includes:

s10: in the unlocking state, judging whether the aerosol generating device generates a locking condition;

If not, executing step S101, and keeping the unlocking state;

if yes, step S102 is executed to put the aerosol generating device in a locked state.

Then, the step S103 is continuously executed, and whether an unlocking condition is generated or not is judged;

If not, executing step S104, and keeping the locking state;

If yes, step S105 is executed to put the aerosol generating device in an unlocked state.

By adopting the technical scheme, double automatic control of the unlocking state and the locking state is realized, the inherent unlocking concept of a user, namely safe use is broken, abnormal circuits in the system after unlocking are timely identified, locking is realized, the use safety of the appliance is ensured, and the potential risk caused by the fault problem is timely removed. The device is ensured to be directly used when the device is safe, and the device is locked and protected when the device is abnormal, so that the convenience and the safety coefficient of a user in using the aerosol generating device are improved.

Further, referring to fig. 4, in an embodiment of the present invention, the locking condition includes a first locking condition, and when the first locking condition is generated, the aerosol generating device is put in a locked state; the control method specifically comprises the following steps:

Step S11: in the unlocking state, judging whether the first heating abnormal times meet the first preset times or not;

if not, go to step S111, do not produce the first locking condition;

If so, step S112 is performed, and a first lock condition is generated. After step S112 is performed, step S113 is performed to put the aerosol-generating device in a locked state.

Wherein the first heating abnormality number is the number of times of continuously generating the first heating abnormality, and the first heating abnormality is: the time interval from the end of the previous heating to the start of the next heating in the heating process of the adjacent two starts meets the first preset fault time. The first preset number of times is specifically a first heating abnormality number threshold, and when the number of times of continuously generating the first heating abnormality is excessive, the first preset number of times represents that frequent continuous heating is generated, and at this time, the circuit is in an abnormal state. The first preset number of times is satisfied, specifically, such as greater than or equal to or greater than the first preset number of times. The first preset failure time is satisfied, specifically, for example, a time interval from the end of the previous heating to the start of the next heating in the adjacent two heating starting processes is smaller than the first preset failure time, or a time interval from the end of the previous heating to the start of the next heating in the adjacent two heating starting processes is smaller than or equal to the first preset failure time. The first preset failure time is specifically a first preset too short time, and when the time interval from the end of the previous heating to the start of the subsequent heating in the adjacent two heating starting processes is too short, the rapid continuous heating is represented, and the circuit abnormality is generated. Specifically, the first preset number of times is 2-5, and the first preset failure time may not exceed 3s, and further, if the first preset number of times is 2, the first preset failure time may be 2s. In one example, the appliance control module determines that the last heating is detected to be over when an average absolute error of the last heating profile and the preset heating profile is less than or equal to 0.5. Or by detecting that the heat generating component is no longer generating heat, more specifically, detecting that the current signal transmitted to the heat generating component is 0, representing the end of heating.

For example, when the appliance fails in the working circuit or the trigger module fails due to moisture or other reasons, the appliance receives a heating command all the time, specifically, the first heating is finished immediately and the second heating is started, and the time interval between the first heating finish and the second heating start is not more than 2s, namely, the first heating abnormal behavior occurs. Then, when the second heating is finished, the third heating is immediately started and the time interval is not more than 2s, at this time, the first abnormal heating behavior occurs 2 times, and the first preset times are met. Thus, the first locking condition is created to place the aerosol-generating device in a locked state that prevents the appliance from being continuously heated, while the locked state protects the battery and other electronic components of the appliance. In another embodiment, the heating end means that one cigarette is sucked, the time interval from the previous heating end to the last heating start is the time for providing the user to replace a new cigarette, and the first heating abnormality occurs when the time interval is too short, and in the process, the user does not replace the new cigarette yet, but the smoking set is still heated continuously, so that the same cigarette is repeatedly sucked, and the sucking taste of the user is affected. Further, when the first abnormal heating times meet the first preset times, a first locking condition is generated to enable the aerosol generating device to be in a locking state, so that the user can be prevented from repeatedly sucking the same cigarette, the consistency of the release amount of the aerosol is ensured, and the use experience of the user is improved. In addition, the time interval from the end of the previous heating to the start of the subsequent heating is too short and frequently occurs, which also causes a safety hazard in the use of the aerosol generating device.

Further, in the present embodiment, step S11 may further include: when the generation of the first heating abnormality once is detected, the number of first heating abnormalities once is increased cumulatively, specifically, the number of first heating abnormalities may be recorded by the counting module in the appliance. When a first locking condition is generated and locking is carried out, or when the fact that the time interval from the last heating to the last heating opening in the heating starting process of two adjacent times does not meet the first preset fault time is detected, the first heating abnormal times are cleared to prevent the times of the first heating abnormal times accumulated after the appliance is unlocked last time from being counted into the times of the first heating abnormal times accumulated after the next unlocking, and further false locking is caused due to counting errors, so that the use of a user is affected. Specifically, the time interval from the end of the detection of the previous heating to the start of the subsequent heating is recorded by a timing module in the appliance.

With continued reference to fig. 4, in this embodiment, the aerosol generating device starts heating by receiving the heating command, and after the first locking condition is generated for locking, the corresponding first unlocking condition may be generated to unlock the aerosol generating device. Specifically, after step S113, step S114 is performed to determine whether a heating instruction is generated;

if not, executing step S115 to generate a first unlocking condition;

if yes, step S116 is executed, and the first unlocking condition is not generated.

After step S115 is executed, step S117 is executed to unlock the aerosol generating device; after step S116 is performed, step S118 is performed to keep the aerosol-generating device in a locked state.

In step S114, specifically, after the appliance is locked, whether a heating command is generated in the circuit or not is detected, or whether the controller receives a heating command for starting heating, when the heating command is detected, the appliance is kept in a locked state, otherwise, the appliance is kept in an unlocked state.

According to the method, the automatic identification and unlocking of the appliance in the locking state are realized, the user does not need to frequently unlock the appliance in a manual control mode, and the automatic unlocking can be performed when the danger of the identification appliance is relieved, so that the convenience of the user is improved. And carry out the safety inspection who corresponds the locking fault reason before the unblock, specifically, in this embodiment, when no heating instruction of receiving again, mean that the smoking set can not open the heating again frequently after the heating is finished, and then can regard this to think that the smoking set has broken away from abnormal state, prevent to continue to use under the circuit of utensil has the trouble condition, and then prevent unexpected risk's production, improve factor of safety and the convenience of use greatly.

Referring to fig. 5, in an embodiment of the present invention, the locking condition includes a second locking condition, when the second locking condition is generated, the aerosol-generating device is put in a locked state; the control method specifically comprises the following steps:

Step S12, judging whether the second heating abnormal times meet the second preset times or not in the unlocking state;

If not, go to step S121, and do not generate the second locking condition;

if yes, step S122 is executed to generate a second locking condition. After step S122 is performed, step S123 is performed to put the aerosol-generating device in a locked state.

Wherein the second heating abnormality number is the number of times of continuously generating the second heating abnormality, the second heating abnormality being: the time interval from start heating to stop heating or from stop heating to start heating satisfies the second preset failure time. The second preset number of times is specifically a second heating abnormality number threshold, and when the number of times of continuously generating the second heating abnormality is excessive, the second preset number of times represents that frequent heating instructions are generated, and at this time, the circuit is in an abnormal state. The second preset number of times is satisfied, specifically, for example, the number of times the second heating abnormality occurs continuously is greater than or equal to or greater than the second preset number of times. The second preset time to failure is satisfied, in particular, the time interval from start heating to stop heating or from stop heating to start heating is smaller than the second preset time to failure or smaller than or equal to the second preset time to failure, for example. The second preset failure time is specifically a second preset too short time, and the time interval from start heating to stop heating or from stop heating to start heating is too short, representing that the appliance frequently receives start heating and stop heating instructions, and the circuit is in an abnormal state. Specifically, the second preset number of times is, for example, 5 to 10 times, the first preset failure time may not exceed 8s, and further, for example, the second preset number of times is 5 times, and the second preset failure time may be, for example, 2s.

For example, when a key, screen or sensor of the appliance is put into a "stuck state" or a child touches by mistake, the appliance triggers a continuous repetitive motion of starting heating-stopping heating. The appliance receives a heating starting command, immediately receives a heating stopping command after starting heating, and the interval between the two commands is not more than 2s, so that a second abnormal heating behavior occurs; the start is then repeated twice in succession with an immediate accompanying stop of the heating command, the repetition interval not exceeding 2s, at which time a second locking condition is created to put the aerosol generating device in a locked state.

Further, in the present embodiment, step S12 may further include: when the generation of the first heating abnormality is detected, the number of times of the first heating abnormality is increased in a cumulative manner; when the second locking condition is generated and locking is performed, or when the time interval from starting heating to stopping heating or from stopping heating to starting heating does not meet the second preset fault time, the second heating abnormal times are cleared, so that the number of times of the second heating abnormal accumulated after the appliance is unlocked last time is prevented from being counted into the number of times of the second heating abnormal accumulated after the appliance is unlocked next time, and further, false locking is caused due to counting errors, and the use of a user is affected. In particular, the time interval from start to stop heating or from stop to start heating is detected recorded by a timing module in the appliance.

With continued reference to fig. 5, in this embodiment, the aerosol generating device starts and stops heating by receiving the heating command, and after the second locking condition is generated for locking, a corresponding second unlocking condition may be generated to unlock the aerosol generating device. Specifically, step S123 may further include:

step S124, judging whether a heating instruction is generated;

If not, executing step S125 to generate a second unlocking condition;

if yes, go to step S126, generate no second unlock condition.

After executing step S125, executing step S127 to unlock the aerosol generating device; after step S126 is performed, step S128 is performed to keep the aerosol-generating device in a locked state.

In step S124, specifically, after the appliance is locked, whether a heating command is generated in the circuit or whether the controller receives a heating command to start and stop heating is detected, and when the heating command is detected, the appliance is kept in the locked state, otherwise, the appliance is kept in the unlocked state. Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the heating instruction is not received any more, it means that the smoking set is not being heated and stopped again frequently, and it can be considered that the smoking set has been out of the abnormal state in this regard.

Referring to fig. 6, in the embodiment of the present invention, the aerosol generating device displays by receiving a display trigger instruction, where the locking condition includes a third locking condition, and when the third locking condition is generated, the aerosol generating device is in a locked state; the control method specifically comprises the following steps:

Step S13, judging whether the number of times of displaying the trigger instruction meets a third preset number of times in the preset time in the unlocking state;

if not, go to step S131, and not generate the third locking condition;

if yes, go to step S132 to generate a third locking condition. After step S132 is performed, step S133 is performed to lock the aerosol-generating device.

The third preset times are specifically a threshold value for displaying the trigger instruction times. The third preset number of times is satisfied, specifically, for example, the number of times of displaying the trigger instruction is greater than or equal to or greater than the third preset number of times. The preset time may specifically be a preset abnormal time, and in this time, when the number of times of continuously receiving the display trigger instruction is excessive, the occurrence of the frequent trigger instruction is represented, and at this time, the circuit is in an abnormal state. Specifically, the third preset number of times is, for example, 6 to 10 times, and the first preset failure time may not exceed 25s, and further, for example, the third preset number of times is 6 and the preset time is 10s.

For example, the display trigger instruction of the appliance may be generated by typically clicking or single contacting the display trigger switch. When the device is in a vibration environment or the circuit has a pulse type short-circuit fault, the device is easy to frequently receive a display trigger instruction. If the instruction of checking the electric quantity is triggered by 6 single clicks within 10 seconds, the instrument is considered to be in abnormal triggering frequency, the number of times of displaying the triggering instruction is larger than or equal to a third preset number of times, and a third locking condition is generated to enable the aerosol generating device to be in a locking state, so that damage to components caused by frequent operation of the circuit is prevented, and electric quantity waste caused by false triggering of the display circuit is reduced.

Further, in the present embodiment, step S13 may further include: when the generation of the primary display trigger instruction is detected, the number of times of the primary display trigger instruction is increased in a cumulative way; when a third locking condition is generated and locking is performed, or when the number of times of displaying the trigger instruction does not meet the third preset number of times, the number of times of displaying the trigger instruction is cleared to prevent the number of times of displaying the trigger instruction accumulated after the appliance is unlocked last time from being counted into the number of times of displaying the trigger instruction accumulated after the appliance is unlocked next time, and further, false locking is caused due to counting errors, so that the use of a user is affected. Specifically, the detection preset time is recorded by a timing module in the appliance.

With continued reference to fig. 6, in the present embodiment, after the third locking condition is generated for locking, a corresponding third unlocking condition may be generated to unlock the aerosol generating device. Step S133 may further include:

Step S134, judging whether a display trigger instruction is generated;

If not, executing step S135 to generate a third unlocking condition;

If yes, step S136 is executed, and the third unlock condition is not generated.

After executing step S135, executing step S137 to enable the aerosol generating device to be in an unlocked state; after step S136 is performed, step S138 is performed to keep the aerosol-generating device in a locked state. In step S134, specifically, after the appliance is locked, whether a display trigger instruction is generated in the circuit or not is detected, or whether the controller receives the display trigger instruction, when the display trigger instruction is detected, the appliance is kept in a locked state, otherwise, the appliance is kept in an unlocked state. Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the display trigger instruction is not received any more, this means that the smoking set will not receive the display trigger instruction again frequently, and thus it can be considered that the smoking set has been out of the abnormal state.

Referring to fig. 7, in an embodiment of the present invention, the aerosol-generating device is charged by receiving a charging instruction, and the locking condition includes a fourth locking condition, when the fourth locking condition is generated, the aerosol-generating device is put in a locked state; the control method specifically comprises the following steps:

step S14, judging whether the abnormal charge times meet the fourth preset times or not in the unlocking state;

If not, go to step S141, and do not generate the fourth locking condition;

if yes, go to step S142 to generate a fourth locking condition. After step S142, step S143 is performed to lock the aerosol-generating device.

Wherein the number of charging anomalies is the number of continuous charging anomalies, and the charging anomalies include one or more of the following features: the temperature of the battery in the aerosol generating device meets a first preset overheat temperature; the voltage of the battery in the aerosol generating device is not in a first preset voltage range; the current of the battery in the aerosol generating device is not in a first preset current range; the resistance value of the battery in the aerosol generating device is not in a first preset resistance value range; a short circuit occurs in the battery in the aerosol generating device; the battery in the aerosol generating device is disconnected. The first preset overheat temperature is a first preset temperature threshold, and when the battery temperature exceeds the first preset temperature threshold, the battery temperature may be too high due to overcharge of the appliance in the battery charging process, specifically, the temperature of the battery is greater than or equal to or greater than the first preset overheat temperature, that is, the charging abnormality occurs. For another example, the first preset voltage range is a working voltage range, the first preset current range is a working current range, and the first preset resistance value range is a working resistance value range, and further, the first preset resistance value range is a respective normal working range. When the resistance, current or voltage of the battery of this embodiment is greater than or less than the respective operating ranges, it is indicated that the battery is not operating normally, i.e., that a charging abnormality has occurred. The fourth preset number is specifically a threshold of abnormal charge times, and when the number of times of continuous abnormal charge occurs is too large, the battery capacity is consumed too fast, and at this time, the circuit is in an abnormal state. Therefore, when the number of detected abnormal charging times is greater than or equal to or greater than the fourth preset number, the controller at the moment cuts off the charging circuit to perform locking protection, and the circuit is protected so as to remove faults.

Further, in the present embodiment, step S14 may further include: when the generation of the primary charging abnormality is detected, the number of primary charging abnormality is increased in an accumulated manner; when the fourth lock condition is generated and the lock is performed, or when it is detected that all of the following features are satisfied, the number of charging abnormality is cleared, all of the features including: the temperature of the battery in the aerosol generating device does not meet the first preset overheat temperature, the voltage of the battery in the aerosol generating device is in a first preset voltage range, the current of the battery in the aerosol generating device is in a first preset current range, the resistance value of the battery in the aerosol generating device is in a first preset resistance value range, the battery in the aerosol generating device is not in short circuit, and the battery in the aerosol generating device is not in open circuit. The number of the accumulated abnormal charging times after the appliance is unlocked last time is counted into the number of the accumulated abnormal charging times after the appliance is unlocked next time, and further, false locking is caused by counting errors, so that the use of a user is affected. In particular, the temperature of the battery may be registered by a temperature sensor in the appliance.

In this embodiment, after the fourth locking condition is generated for locking, a fourth unlocking condition may be generated correspondingly to unlock the aerosol generating device. Specifically, after the appliance is locked, whether a charging abnormality instruction is generated in the circuit or not is detected, or whether the controller receives the charging abnormality instruction, when the charging abnormality instruction is detected, the appliance is kept in a locked state, and otherwise, the appliance is kept in an unlocked state. In this embodiment, when no recharging abnormal instruction is received, it means that the battery temperature of the smoking set is not too high frequently, so that the smoking set can be considered to be separated from an abnormal state, continuous use is prevented under the condition that the circuit of the appliance has a fault, generation of unexpected risks is further prevented, and the safety factor of use is greatly improved.

Referring to fig. 8, in an embodiment of the present invention, the locking condition includes a fifth locking condition, when the fifth locking condition is generated, the aerosol-generating device is put in a locked state; the control method specifically comprises the following steps:

step S15, judging whether the third heating abnormal times meet the fifth preset times or not;

if not, go to step S151, and do not generate the fifth locking condition;

If yes, go to step S152, generate the fifth lock condition. After step S152, step S153 is performed to lock the aerosol-generating device.

Wherein the third heating abnormality number is a number of times of continuously occurring third heating abnormality including one or several of the following features: the temperature of the heating element in the aerosol generating device meets a second preset overheat temperature; the voltage of the heating element in the aerosol generating device is not in a second preset voltage range; the current of the heating element in the aerosol generating device is not in a second preset current range; the resistance value of the heating element in the aerosol generating device is not in a second preset resistance value range; a heating element in the aerosol generating device is short-circuited; the heating element in the aerosol generating device is disconnected. The second preset overheat temperature is a second preset temperature threshold value, and the heating element is excessively high due to circuit faults such as overload in the heating process of the appliance, specifically, the temperature of the heating element is greater than or equal to or greater than the second preset overheat temperature, and the circuit is abnormal, namely, a third heating abnormality occurs. For another example, the second preset voltage range is a working voltage range, the second preset current range is a working current range, and the second preset resistance value range is a working resistance value range, and further, the second preset voltage range is a respective normal working range. When the resistance, current or voltage of the heating element in this embodiment is greater than or less than the respective operating range, it is indicative that the heating element is not operating normally, i.e., a third heating abnormality is generated. Therefore, when the third heating abnormality number is detected to be greater than or equal to or greater than the fifth preset number, the controller at this time turns off the heating circuit to perform the lock protection circuit.

Further, in the present embodiment, step S15 may further include: when the generation of the first third heating abnormality is detected, the first third heating abnormality frequency is increased in a cumulative manner; when the fifth lock condition is generated and the lock is performed, or when it is detected that all of the following features are satisfied, the third heating abnormality number is cleared, all of the features including: the temperature of the heating element in the aerosol generating device does not meet the second preset overheat temperature, the voltage of the heating element in the aerosol generating device is in a second preset voltage range, the current of the heating element in the aerosol generating device is in a second preset current range, the resistance value of the heating element in the aerosol generating device is in a second preset resistance value range, the heating element in the aerosol generating device is not in short circuit, and the heating element in the aerosol generating device is not in open circuit. The third heating abnormality number accumulated after the appliance is unlocked last time is counted into the third heating abnormality number accumulated after the next unlocking, and further false locking is caused by counting errors, so that the use of a user is affected. In particular, the temperature of the heating element may be registered by a temperature sensor in the appliance.

In this embodiment, after the fifth locking condition is generated for locking, a corresponding fifth unlocking condition may be generated to unlock the aerosol generating device. Specifically, after the appliance is locked, whether a third heating abnormal instruction is generated in the circuit or not is detected, or whether the controller receives the third heating abnormal instruction, when the third heating abnormal instruction is detected, the appliance is kept in a locked state, and otherwise, the appliance is kept in an unlocked state. In particular, in the present embodiment, when the third heating abnormality command is not received any more, this means that the heating element in the smoking article is not being too hot at a frequent rate, and thus the smoking article can be considered to have been out of the abnormal state.

The above embodiments are locking by automatic identification, and in this embodiment the locking may also be manually controlled by the user to put the aerosol-generating device in a locked state. In particular, manual locking may be achieved by action, such as continuous single click of a switch; setting fingerprint identification; touch screen contact through graphics, numbers or symbol passwords; continuously plugging and pulling the consumable material to switch the electric connection state to the on/off state; locking is carried out through an intelligent terminal/PC end; or other means of locking the hardware connection for ease of use by the user.

In the above embodiments, the aerosol-generating device further has a display function including a first display function and a second display function; the first display function is used for outputting the working parameters of the aerosol generating device; the locking state is to lock the heating function, the first display function and the charging function of the aerosol generating device, on one hand, the abnormal function of the circuit is cut off to protect the appliance, and on the other hand, other functions of the aerosol generating device can be guaranteed to work normally, such as a detection function, so that the circuit of the appliance can be conveniently detected and repaired, and the appliance can be unlocked only when the abnormal problem is solved after the locking or when the circuit is in a safe state.

Further, in each embodiment of the present invention, the control method further includes: and outputting prompt user information, wherein the prompt user information responds to the corresponding information of the locking condition when the locking condition is generated. The prompt user information can be output through a second display function of the aerosol generating device. Specifically, the output mode of prompting the user information can be a specific locking condition that the output device is locked through the display screen, or can be a lamplight, a sound signal or other prompting modes capable of enabling the user to feel. The user is preferably prompted through specific locking conditions that the display screen outputs the device to be locked, so that the user realizes that the device has an abnormal problem, and the user can accurately perceive the abnormality caused by specific reasons of the device, and then the corresponding fault problem is rapidly solved. For example, when the first lock condition is generated, the output indicates that the heating-up time from the previous heating end to the subsequent heating-up time is too short; when the second lock condition is generated, the output display is frequently turned on and off; when the third locking condition is generated, the output display frequently triggers the display function; when the fourth lock condition is generated, the output displays one or more of the following information: the temperature of the battery is frequently too high, the current of the battery is not in the working current range, the voltage of the battery is not in the working voltage range, the resistance value of the battery is not in the working resistance value range, and the battery is short-circuited or broken; when the fifth lock condition is generated, such as the output displaying one or more of the following information: the temperature of the heating element is frequently too high, the current of the heating element is not in the working current range, the voltage of the heating element is not in the working voltage range, the resistance value of the heating element is not in the working resistance value range, the heating element is short-circuited, or the heating element is broken.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the control method further includes: judging whether the aerosol generating device generates an unlocking condition or not when the aerosol generating device is in a locking state; if yes, the aerosol generating device is in an unlocking state, otherwise, the aerosol generating device is kept in a locking state; there is a time interval between the generation of the lock condition and the generation of the unlock condition. Further, the locking conditions of the present invention include a first locking condition, a second locking condition, a third locking condition, a fourth locking condition, and a fifth locking condition, and in this embodiment, the appliance is kept in an unlocked state until one of the locking conditions is satisfied as long as one of the above-described five locking conditions is locked and none of the above-described locking conditions is satisfied. The unlocking conditions comprise a first unlocking condition, a second unlocking condition, a third unlocking condition, a fourth unlocking condition and a fifth unlocking condition, and after the locking condition is generated, the unlocking condition is required to be met to generate the corresponding unlocking condition so as to unlock the appliance. Specifically, the unlocking condition and the locking condition are corresponding, and when the locking condition is determined, only the unique corresponding solution condition is satisfied, the unlocking is performed, and other unlocking conditions which do not correspond to the locking condition are not unlocked.

For example, when the first lock condition is generated for locking and then the first time interval is waited, the first unlock condition is generated, so that the appliance is in an unlock state; when the second locking condition is generated for locking, a second unlocking condition is generated after a second time interval is waited, so that the appliance is in an unlocking state; when the third locking condition is generated for locking, a third unlocking condition is generated after a third time interval is waited, so that the appliance is in an unlocking state; when the fourth locking condition is generated for locking, a fourth unlocking condition is generated after a fourth time interval is waited, so that the appliance is in an unlocking state; when a fifth lock condition is generated for locking, a fifth unlock condition is generated after waiting a fifth time interval, so that the appliance is in an unlock state. The first time interval, the second time interval, the third time interval, the fourth time interval and the fifth time interval may be the same or different, for example, the time interval corresponding to the detection of different abnormal conditions may be set to a proper time according to the situation. Particularly, when the temperature is too high, the long point is set at intervals for re-detection; and (3) the problem of small abnormal deviation is solved, and short-point re-detection is set at intervals. That is, after any lock condition instruction is received by the appliance, the corresponding unlock condition instruction is received after a certain time interval, and the time interval may be 5-20 s, preferably 10s. The time interval is set, so that on one hand, the time for recovering the abnormal condition of the smoking set is shortened, the frequent detection after the circuit abnormality is reduced, and if the temperature of the battery in the appliance is too high, the temperature reduction treatment is needed for a certain time, on the other hand, whether the abnormality exists in the circuit is detected after a period of time interval, the detection accuracy and effectiveness can be improved, and the use safety of the appliance after unlocking again is further ensured. In addition, after a period of time, whether the circuit is abnormal or not is detected, whether the circuit is unlocked or not is judged, whether the unlocking state is generated or not is also avoided from being judged too frequently, and the control flow is simplified.

According to the technical scheme, the child lock function is manually opened or closed, great inconvenience is brought to a user, the fact that the fault circuit of the aerosol generating device is temporarily cut off due to locking is considered, when the aerosol generating device is used in an unlocking state, the fault circuit is turned on again, the circuit abnormality phenomenon continues to occur, and the fact that the user is not aware that the circuit of the appliance is faulty is considered, so that the risk of the appliance to remove the circuit fault cannot be checked in time. Therefore, the invention realizes the control of the locking state and the unlocking state in an automatic identification mode, and improves the convenience of the user. When the aerosol generating device is in the unlocking state and is used, the circuit abnormality is timely identified and locking is realized, the inherent concept that the aerosol generating device can be safely used after unlocking by a user is broken, and a lock is additionally arranged in the theoretical safety state, so that the aerosol generating device is prevented from being used continuously under the condition that the aerosol generating device has a fault problem, and the potential accident risk is avoided. And when the aerosol generating device is in a locking state, the circuit is timely detected to ensure that the device is safe to use and is automatically unlocked, so that the continuous accidental risk of the device is avoided. And the user is informed of the abnormality of the circuit of the appliance by prompting the user information, so that the risk of circuit faults can be eliminated in time, and the safety coefficient of the user is greatly improved.
