detailed description

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1-2 , the electronic cigarette 10 of the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 17 , and a controller 11 , an input module 12 , a storage module 15 and an execution unit 13 arranged in the housing 17 . The input module 12 , the storage module 15 and the execution unit 13 are all connected to the controller 11 .

The input module 12 is used for the user to input the current mood, and send the mood signal to the controller 11 . Since there are many kinds of human emotions, in order to improve the operability of the electronic cigarette 10, the input module 12 preferably has an emotion database of a predetermined emotion type, and the user only needs to select the desired emotion when using it. In this embodiment, the input module 12 is a touch screen, and the user can select the desired emotion by sliding left or right, such as "happy", "sad", "angry", "irritable" and so on. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the emotion type of the input module 12 is presented in the form of a drop-down list. Of course, the input module 12 may also include a plurality of buttons, such as buttons representing various emotions.

The storage module 15 is used to store working modes corresponding to various emotions. Each working mode is configured with different working parameters that can be executed by the execution unit 13 , such as intake air volume, resistance and so on. Through the implementation of the above working parameters, the setting of parameters such as temperature curve and smoke volume can be achieved. The parameters of the working mode corresponding to each emotion can be obtained by the manufacturer through analysis of consumer usage habits, etc., so that these working modes are more targeted to various emotions, and are generally preset by the manufacturer. For example, for the "irritability" mood, the effect of alleviating the "irritability" mood can be achieved by setting the temperature curve and the amount of smoke.

The execution unit includes a mechanical module 131 and an electronic module 132 . The mechanical module 131 includes mechanical components such as an intake valve and a driving motor (not shown in the figure), the driving motor is connected to the intake valve, and the driving motor is used to drive the intake valve to adjust the amount of intake air.

The electronic module 132 includes a heating control circuit (not shown in the figure), etc., for controlling the temperature curve of the heating element (not shown in the figure), and then adjusting the amount of smoke. The heating element is used to heat the liquid stored in the electronic cigarette 10 to generate smoke for the user to inhale. The heating element may be a heating wire, a heating sheet, or the like. The temperature curve is a curve of the temperature of the heating element changing with time under the control of the electronic module 132 .

The controller 11 controls the execution unit 13 to output corresponding working parameters to make the electronic cigarette 10 work. Specifically, the controller 11 controls the mechanical module 131 to adjust mechanical parameters such as intake air volume, and/or controls the electronic module 132 to adjust electronic parameters such as resistance and pulse width to adjust the temperature curve.

Further, the electronic cigarette 10 also includes a power switch 18 arranged on the casing 17 .

Further, the electronic cigarette 10 also includes a power adjustment button 16, which is used to increase or decrease the output power of the electronic cigarette 10, so as to adjust the amount of smoke.

Please refer to Fig. 3, the method of using the electronic cigarette 10 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

S1: The user presses the power switch.

S2: The user inputs the current emotion through the input module, and the input module sends the input signal to the controller. For example, if the user's current mood is happy, the "happy" label is selected, and the input module sends a "happy" signal to the controller.

S3: The controller reads the working mode corresponding to the emotion from the storage module based on the input signal, and the controller controls the execution unit to output corresponding working parameters to make the electronic cigarette work.

S4: If the user feels that the amount of smoke does not meet his needs, he can increase or decrease the output power of the electronic cigarette through the power adjustment button to adjust the amount of smoke. For example, when the user feels that the amount of smoke is too small, the output power can be increased; otherwise, the output power can be decreased.

The input module of the electronic cigarette of the present invention is used for the user to input emotions, and the controller obtains the working mode corresponding to the emotion from the storage module according to the input emotional signal, and controls the execution unit to output corresponding working parameters to make the electronic cigarette work . Therefore, the electronic cigarette of the present invention can match the corresponding working mode according to the user's emotion, so the electronic cigarette of the present invention has a better sense of user experience and is more personalized.

The above specific examples illustrate the principle and implementation of the present invention. It should be understood that the above implementation is only used to help understand the present invention, and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the above specific implementation manners may be changed according to the idea of the present invention.
