Detailed ways

The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of this application.

Existing electronic cigarettes generally only use the smoking device to simply supply power to the pod, so that the materials in the pod can be atomized to generate smoke. The inventors of the present application have found through long-term research on electronic cigarette technology that the diversity of cartridge types can provide more usage scenarios for electronic cigarettes and more effectively improve the user experience. However, the diversity of pod types also makes different types of pods have different characteristics. Different types of pods may correspond to different heating conditions, such as heating time or heating temperature. If different types of pods are heated in a fixed way Atomization cannot give full play to the characteristics and advantages of different types of pods, affects user experience, and is easy to cause damage to pods. If different types of pods are designed to match them, it will undoubtedly increase the cost of R & D and production, and also increase the cost of users. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present application proposes at least the following embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the electronic cigarette 1 described in the embodiment of the electronic cigarette 1 of this application includes a smoking device 11 and a cartridge 12 . For example, the smoking device 11 and the cartridge 12 can be combined to form an electronic cigarette 1. The smoking device 11 can provide electric energy for the cartridge 12 to work. Heating and atomizing to produce smoke for users to use.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the smoking appliance 11 may include a control circuit 111 and a communication circuit 112 . The control circuit 111 is coupled to the communication circuit 112 . The control circuit 111 is provided with a signal terminal 1110 . The cartridge 12 includes an identification element 121 . The identification element 121 is used to identify the cartridge 12 and is provided with an identification end 1210 . For example, when the smoking device 11 and the pod 12 are combined, the signal end 1110 and the identification end 1210 can be connected, for example, they are in contact for electrical connection, so that the control circuit 111 and the identification element 121 are connected.

When the signal terminal 1110 is connected to the identification terminal 1210 , the control circuit 111 can be used to obtain an identification signal from the identification element 121 through the signal terminal 1110 and the identification terminal 1210 . The identification signal is used to identify the cartridge 12, and the identification signals of different types of cartridges 12 are different, for example, and the number of cartridges 12 of each type may be multiple. Of course, in some implementations, the identification signals of different pods 12 are different, for example, each pod 12 has its own identification signal, and the identification signal of each pod 12 of the same type of pod 12 Also different.

The control circuit 111 can establish a connection with the external device 2 through the communication circuit 112. For example, the external device 2 is a server or a terminal. Of course, the control circuit 111 can also communicate with multiple external devices 2 at the same time, such as connecting with the server and the terminal at the same time. The terminal is, for example, a mobile terminal, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, or a computer. The control circuit 111 further sends the received identification signal to the external device 2, such as a server or a terminal. For example, data related to the pod 12 can be stored in the external device 2, such as pod type information, e-cigarette working strategy, user account information, usage preference data, smoking equipment information, etc. Of course, the above data can also be stored in the cloud. The above is only an example, and the data stored by the server or the terminal is not limited thereto.

After receiving the identification signal, the external device 2 can obtain the cartridge type information and/or the electronic cigarette working strategy that matches the identification signal. For example, the server or terminal obtains the cartridge type information matching the identification signal and/or the e-cigarette working strategy from the data stored in it, or obtains the cartridge type information and/or the electronic cigarette matching the identification signal from the cloud or other devices E-cigarette work strategy. The control circuit 111 can further receive the cartridge type information and/or the e-cigarette working strategy from the external device 2, such as a server or terminal, through the communication circuit 112, and then the control circuit 111 works according to the working mode matching the cartridge type information, or directly according to E-cigarette work strategy to work. Specifically, the control circuit 111 controls the entire smoking device 11 to work according to the working method matching the cartridge type information, or directly work according to the working strategy of the electronic cigarette.

Pod type information, such as model, production date, manufacturer, production serial number, material information to be atomized, flavor information, atomization parameters (such as current, voltage, heating time, temperature, power, etc.), anti-counterfeiting code, etc., The above are examples only, not limitations. The cartridge type information can be designed and adjusted according to the actual situation.

The working strategy of the electronic cigarette matches the identification signal, that is, corresponds to the corresponding pod 12 . The working strategy of the electronic cigarette is the working strategy matched with the cartridge 12 to be executed by the electronic cigarette 1 having the corresponding cartridge 12 . For example, different types of pods 12 correspond to different working strategies of the electronic cigarette. For example, for the type A pod 12, the corresponding working strategy of the electronic cigarette is that the output power is 10W, and the heating time is 10S. For the type B cartridge 12, the corresponding working strategy of the electronic cigarette is that the output power is 5W, and the heating time is 10S. For the type C cartridge 12, the corresponding working strategy of the e-cigarette is not to perform heating.

In this embodiment, the identification element 121 is used to identify the cartridge 12, so that different types or different cartridges 12 can be identified. The smoking appliance 11 can obtain the identification signal of the identification element 121, and further send the identification signal to the external device 2 (such as a server or terminal), so that the external device 2 can match the identification signal, so that the matched cartridge type information or electronic The cigarette working strategy returns to the smoking device 11, and the control circuit 111 of the smoking device 11 can implement the working mode corresponding to the cartridge type information or execute the corresponding electronic cigarette working strategy, so that the smoking device 11 can execute corresponding In this way, it is not necessary for each type or each cartridge 12 to be designed to correspond to a smoking device 11, thereby saving design cost and manufacturing cost. In addition, identification and matching of the identification signal by the server or the terminal eliminates the need to match the identification signal on the smoking set 11, which can speed up the identification and matching speed, and can also simplify the component design, data storage and internal structure of the smoking set 11, thereby making the smoking set 11 11 can correspond to more types of pods 12.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , the smoking appliance 11 may include a power supply circuit 113 . A battery (not shown) can be integrated in the power supply circuit 113 , so that the circuit design of the smoking appliance 11 can be simplified. In some embodiments, the power supply circuit 113 can also be integrated with an overcurrent protection circuit (not shown in the figure), a high temperature protection element (not shown in the figure) (such as an NTC element), etc., so that the power supply circuit 113 can be prevented from overcurrent or overtemperature high and suffer damage. Certainly, the battery cell and the power supply circuit 113 may also be independent of each other, and the two are coupled. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , the smoking appliance 11 can be provided with a power supply terminal 1130 . In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 , the power supply terminal 1130 may be disposed on the control circuit 111 , and the power supply circuit 113 is coupled to the power supply terminal 1130 through the control circuit 111 to output electric energy. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 , the power supply terminal 1130 may be disposed on the power supply circuit 113 , and the power supply circuit 113 outputs electric energy directly. The power supply terminal 1130 includes, for example, positive and negative terminals.

The control circuit 111 is used to control the operation of the smoking appliance 11, such as a microprocessor (MCU), or may include a microprocessor and a storage element, and the storage element may store data, such as data related to the working mode. The control circuit 111, the communication circuit 112 and the power supply circuit 113 can be integrated on the same circuit board. Certainly, the control circuit 111 and the power supply circuit 113 may be integrated on different circuit boards respectively.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , the cartridge 12 may further include a heating circuit 122 . The heating circuit 122 can be provided with a heating element, such as a heating wire, a heating sheet, etc., and can heat and atomize the material to be atomized stored in the cartridge 12 in a heating state to form smoke. The heating circuit 122 can also be provided with a power receiving terminal 1220 for connecting with the power supply terminal 1130 . After the control circuit 111 receives the cartridge type information and/or electronic cigarette working strategy through the communication circuit 112, it can further control the power supply circuit 113 to work in a working mode matching the cartridge type information, or directly work according to the electronic cigarette working strategy. When the power supply circuit 113 works in a working mode matching the pod type information, or directly supplies power according to the working strategy of the electronic cigarette, it can transmit electric energy to the heating circuit 122 through the power supply terminal 1130 and the power receiving terminal 1220, so that the heating circuit 122 Heat under the action of electric current.

In some implementations, the control circuit 111 may store data corresponding to the working mode of the cartridge type information, and work in a matching working manner when receiving the cartridge type information. In some implementations, the cartridge type information may include working data, such as atomization parameters. The control circuit 111 can analyze the cartridge type information to obtain the data of the working mode, so as to execute the working mode to work.

In some implementations, the control circuit 111 sends the identification signal to the external device 2 (such as a server or terminal) through the communication circuit 112, and the external device 2 matches the identification signal. If the matching is successful, the cartridge type information and/or electronic cigarette working strategy matching the identification signal can be obtained, and then sent to the control circuit 111 of the smoking appliance 11 . If the matching is unsuccessful, no information may be sent to the control circuit 111 of the smoking appliance 11, or a feedback message of unsuccessful matching may be sent to the control circuit 111 of the smoking appliance 11. The control circuit 111 may not receive the cartridge type information and/or electronic cigarette According to the working strategy, or in the case of receiving feedback information, control the power supply circuit 113 not to supply power to the pod 12, or to supply power with low battery.

In some other implementations, the cartridge type information or the working strategy of the electronic cigarette may include data on whether it matches the current smoking appliance 11 . For example, after the control circuit 111 sends the identification signal through the communication circuit 112, the server or terminal can also identify the smoking device 11 that sent the identification signal, and the server or terminal matches the identification signal, including whether the cigarette cartridge 12 matches the current smoking device 11, thereby The cartridge type information and/or the working strategy of the electronic cigarette are obtained, wherein the cartridge type information or the working strategy of the electronic cigarette includes the data of whether it matches the current smoking device 11 . For example, if a certain position in the cartridge type information is “1”, it indicates that the current smoking device 11 is supported; if a certain position in the cartridge type information is “0”, it indicates that the current smoking device 11 is not supported. If the cartridge 12 is supported by the current smoking device 11, the preset condition is met; if the cartridge 12 is not supported by the smoking device 11, the preset requirement is not met. After the control circuit 111 receives the cartridge type information or the electronic cigarette working strategy, it can know whether the cartridge 12 meets the preset requirements for the cartridge type information or the electronic cigarette working strategy. When the cartridge type information or the working strategy of the electronic cigarette does not meet the preset requirements, the control circuit 111 can control the power supply circuit 113 to not supply power to the heating circuit 122 or to supply power with low power.

Of course, after the server or terminal receives the identification signal, it will match the identification signal. If the match is successful, it will obtain the cartridge type information and/or electronic cigarette working strategy that matches the identification signal. The cartridge type information includes supporting smoking equipment data, such as the The pod supports A-type smoking set 11, B-type smoking set 11, C-type smoking set 11, etc. E-cigarette work strategies may also include supporting smoking device data. After the control circuit 111 obtains the pod type information and/or the e-cigarette working strategy through the communication circuit 112, it can know whether it supports the pod 12 corresponding to the pod type information, if it supports it, it meets the preset requirements, if it does not support it, it does not meet preset requirements. The control circuit 111 controls the power supply circuit 113 to not supply power to the heating circuit 122 or supply power to the heating circuit 122 when the cartridge type information does not meet the preset requirements.

In this embodiment, power supply with low power means that the voltage value provided is lower than the voltage value for the normal operation of the heating circuit 122 , and/or the current value provided is lower than the current value for the normal operation of the heating circuit 122 . The purpose of setting the low-battery power supply is to make the pod 12 that does not meet the preset requirements unable to work normally.

In this embodiment, the identification information is matched by setting an external device 2 (such as a server or a terminal), and the control circuit 111 performs personalized control on the power supply circuit 113 according to the received cartridge type information or electronic cigarette working strategy, so that no control is required. The matching work performed by the circuit 111 can improve the control ability and speed of the control circuit 111 to the power supply circuit 113 , and the personalized control of the control circuit 111 to the power supply circuit 113 can improve the support and matching ability of the smoking device 11 to different cartridges 12 . In addition, for the pod 12 whose pod type information does not meet the preset requirements, the control circuit 111 controls the power supply circuit 113 to not supply power or power on with low power, which can avoid damage to the incompatible smoking device 11 and pod 12, and can also Improve the service life of the smoking set 11 and enhance the user experience.

In this embodiment, the identification element 121 may use a PCB or FPC as a carrier. The identification signal may be stored by the identification element 121, may also be generated by the identification element 121, and of course may also be obtained by the identification element 121 from other elements or the like. The identification signal can be randomly generated, for example, the identification signals corresponding to the same type of pod 12, some of which are the same, and other parts are randomly generated, for example, for the type A pod 12 identification signal 201811XXX, 201811 is the same part, The XXX position is a random part. In the cartridge 12 of type A, the random part may be different.

Referring to FIG. 4 , in some implementations, the identification element 121 includes a storage circuit 121a, and the storage circuit 121a is used to store the identification signal. For example, the storage circuit 121a is Flash, EEPROM, or the like. Certainly, the storage circuit 121a may also store other data related to the cartridge 12 in addition to storing the identification signal.

In some embodiments, the number of identification elements 121 is at least one group, each group of identification elements 121 includes a plurality of resistors, the plurality of resistors are connected in series, and the plurality of resistors are connected between the voltage source VDD and the ground, and the identification terminal 1210 is connected to Between any two adjacent resistors among multiple resistors. For example, each group of identification elements 121 includes four resistors, which are A resistor, B resistor, C resistor, and D resistor in turn from the voltage source VDD to the ground, then the tag terminal can be connected between the A resistor and the B resistor, or it can be connected to the B resistor. Between the resistor and the C resistor, it can also be connected between the C resistor and the D resistor. In the following, it is taken as an example that each set of voltage identification elements 121 includes two resistors.

Referring to Figure 5, the voltage identification element 121 includes a first resistor 1211 and a second resistor 1212, one end of the first resistor 1211 is connected to the voltage source VDD, and the other end of the first resistor 1211 is respectively connected to the identification terminal 1210 and one end of the second resistor 1212, The other end of the second resistor 1212 is grounded. In this embodiment, the voltage source VDD may be the power supply voltage provided by the power supply circuit 113 of the smoking appliance 11 , that is, one end of the first resistor 1211 is coupled to the power receiving end 1220 . When the smoking appliance 11 and the cartridge 12 are combined, one end of the first resistor 1211 can be further coupled to the power supply terminal 1130 of the smoking appliance 11 through the power receiving terminal 1220 , specifically, it can be the positive electrode of the smoking appliance 11 . Of course, the voltage source VDD may also be a voltage source VDD separately provided in the pod 12 , such as a separate battery, so as to provide voltage to the identification element 121 .

Each group of identification elements 121 can output a corresponding voltage signal value, and the output voltage signal value is used to characterize the identification signal. For example, after the smoking device 11 and the cartridge 12 are combined, the output voltage value of the identification element 121 is, for example, 1V, and the range of 1-2V corresponds to the type A cartridge 12, and the output voltage value of the identification element 121 is, for example, 2.5V, in the range of 2-3V. Corresponding to type B cartridge 12. Different types of cartridges 12 are distinguished by different signal values. Of course, the corresponding relationship between the specific voltage signal value and the pod 12 can be designed according to the actual situation.

Specifically, the voltage value output by the identification element 121 can be adjusted by setting the combination of the first resistor 1211 and the second resistor 1212 . The first resistors 1211 of each group of identification elements 121 may be the same or different. The second resistors 1212 of each group of identification elements 121 may be the same or different. For example, the voltage source VDD is 5V, for a certain group of identification elements 121, the first resistance 1211 is 3Ω, the second resistance 1212 is 2Ω, then the potential of the identification terminal 1210 is 2V, then the voltage signal output by the group of identification elements 121 The value is 2V. For a single set of identification elements 121 , compared with the level signals "0" and "1", the voltage signal value can identify at least three types of cartridges 12 .

Of course, as shown in Figure 5, the pod 12 may include multiple sets of identification elements 121, and the voltage signal values output by each set of identification elements 121 may jointly form an identification signal. For example, the number of identification elements 121 is 4 groups, corresponding to output 5V, 3V, 1V, 2V, the identification signal can be "5312".

In this embodiment, when the identification terminal 1210 of the identification element 121 outputs a voltage signal value, the type of the signal terminal 1110 of the control circuit 111 can be, for example, an ADC interface, and the voltage signal value of each group of identification elements 121 can be read.

In this embodiment, by setting the identification element 121 to output the voltage signal value, it is convenient to use the difference in the voltage signal value to represent different types of pods 12, and because the voltage signal value has a large scalability, it is possible to realize the identification element 121 without complex combination. Identify more types of pods, simplify circuit lines and structures.

In addition to the manner in which the identification element 121 outputs a voltage signal value, in this embodiment, the identification element 121 can also be configured to output a digital signal to form an identification signal.

As shown in FIG. 5 , for example, by using the resistance matching of the first resistor 1211 and the second resistor 1212 , the identification terminal 1210 can correspondingly generate a high-level signal or a low-level signal. For example, the resistance value of the first resistor 1211 is much greater than the resistance value of the second resistor 1212, and the level of the identification terminal 1210 is low level. For example, when the voltage source VDD is 5V, the first resistor 1211 is 100KΩ, and the second resistor 1212 is 0KΩ, then the identification terminal 1210 is low level “0”. For example, the resistance value of the second resistor 1212 is much greater than the resistance value of the first resistor 1211, and the level of the identification terminal 1210 is high level. For example, when the voltage source VDD is 5V, the first resistor 1211 is 10Ω, and the second resistor 1212 is 10KΩ, then the identification terminal 1210 is at a high level “1”.

For example, when there are two groups of identification elements 121, for the first group, the first resistor 1211 is 100KΩ, the second resistor 1212 is 0KΩ, and the identification terminal 1210 is low level "0". For the second group, the first resistor 1211 is 0KΩ, the second resistor 1212 is 100KΩ, and the level of the identification terminal 1210 is high level “1”. The two groups of identification elements 121 correspondingly generate two high and low level signals at the identification terminal 1210, and the combination of the two high and low level signals constitutes an identification signal, such as "01".

That is to say, in this embodiment, when the number of identification elements 121 is at least two groups, at least two groups of identification elements 121 correspondingly generate at least two high and low level signals at the identification end 1210, and the combination of at least two high and low level signals constitutes an identification Signal. For example, four groups of identification elements 121 generate high and low level signals respectively as "0", "1", "1", and "0", so the identification signal is formed as "0110", for example. The first resistors 1211 of each group of identification elements 121 may be the same or different. The second resistors 1212 of each group of identification elements 121 can be the same or different.

In this embodiment, when the identification terminal 1210 of the identification element 121 outputs high and low level signals, the type of the signal terminal 1110 of the control circuit 111 can be, for example, a GPIO interface, and the high and low level signals of each group of identification elements 121 can be read.

For the corresponding relationship between the number of groups of identification elements 121 and identification ends 1210, the embodiment shown in Figure 5 can be used, the number of identification ends 1210 and the number of signal ends 1110 are respectively the same as the number of groups of identification elements 121, each identification end 1210 is connected with an identification element 121 . In some other implementation manners, the first selection circuit 123 may be set to gate each group of identification elements 121 sequentially, so as to sequentially output high and low level signals.

In order to reduce the identification terminal 1210 , the signal terminal 1110 and the number of corresponding wires, referring to the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 , the control circuit 111 may further include a control terminal 1111 . The cartridge 12 includes a first selection circuit 123 , and the first selection circuit 123 is provided with a first controlled terminal 1230 , a first output terminal 1231 and a plurality of first input terminals 1232 . The first controlled terminal 1230 is used to connect to the control circuit 111 through the control terminal 1111 , the first output terminal 1231 is used to connect to the identification terminal 1210 , and each first input terminal 1232 is connected to a group of identification elements 121 .

As shown in FIG. 6 , one end of the first resistor 1211 is connected to the voltage source VDD, the other end of the first resistor 1211 is correspondingly connected to one end of the second resistor 1212 and the first input end 1232 , and the other end of the second resistor 1212 is grounded.

After the cartridge 12 and the smoking appliance 11 are combined, the control terminal 1111 of the control circuit 111 is connected to the first controlled terminal 1230 of the first selection circuit 123 , and the signal terminal 1110 of the control circuit 111 is connected to the identification terminal 1210 . The control circuit 111 is used to output a selection signal to the first selection circuit 123 through the first controlled terminal 1230. After the first selection circuit 123 receives the selection signal through the first controlled terminal 1230, it sequentially connects each group of identification elements 121 and The first output terminal 1231, that is, makes each group of identification elements 121 connected to the identification end 1210 in turn, so that the control circuit 111 obtains the high and low level signals from each group of identification elements 121, and the combination of the high and low level signals of each group of identification elements 121 constitute an identification signal.

For example, the number of identification elements 121 is 4 groups, and the control circuit 111 outputs a selection signal to the first selection circuit 123 through the control terminal 1111 and the first controlled terminal 1230, and the first selection circuit 123 sequentially connects the four groups of identification elements 121 corresponding The first input terminal 1232 and the first output terminal 1231, each group of connected identification elements 121 can transmit high and low level signals to the identification terminal 1210, and the control circuit 111 can receive the high and low level signals, such as low level Signal "0". After all the identification elements 121 are selected, the control circuit 111 receives "0", "1", "1", "0" in turn, for example, then the identification signal is 0110, identifying a pod 12 or a type of Pod 12.

Of course, when the number of identification elements 121 is multiple groups, the first selection circuit 123 can be connected to some of the identification elements 121 of the group, and the first output terminal 1231 of the first selection circuit 123 is connected to one identification terminal 1210, while other part of the group The identification element 121 may be directly connected to one identification end 1210 , so that the number of identification ends 1210 is less than the number of identification elements 121 groups.

In this embodiment, by setting the first selection circuit 123, the number of identification terminals 1210 and signal terminals 1110 can be reduced, thereby reducing the circuit wiring of the pod 12 and the smoking device 11, avoiding complex wiring that may easily lead to failure of the electronic cigarette 1, and Simplified routing can reduce costs.

For the first selection circuit 123 , the first controlled terminal 1230 may not be provided, and the control circuit 111 may not be provided with the control terminal 1111 . After the signal terminal 1110 and the control terminal 1111 are connected, the first selection circuit 123 can be set to automatically connect each group of identification elements 121 and the identification terminal 1210 in sequence, so as to transmit the high and low level signals to the control circuit 111 in sequence. Of course, the smoking appliance 11 can be further provided with a detection element, such as a Hall sensor (not shown), for detecting whether the smoking appliance 11 and the cartridge 12 are successfully combined. When it is detected that the cartridge 12 and the smoking device 11 are successfully combined, the control circuit 111 can be woken up. Of course, the detection element can also detect the current of the power supply terminal 1130 of the smoking appliance 11 , so as to determine whether the smoking appliance 11 and the cartridge 12 are connected. In this way, the configuration and complexity of the first selection circuit 123 can be further simplified.

Of course, in order to reduce the identification terminal 1210 and the signal terminal 1110 and the number of corresponding wiring, the following method can also be designed:

The identification element 121 may include a plurality of resistors connected in series and connected between the voltage source VDDDVD and the ground. The identification terminal 1210 can be connected between any two adjacent resistors among multiple resistors, and the connection point between any two adjacent resistors will generate a voltage divider or form a high-low level signal, which can be obtained at the identification terminal 1210 Divided voltage value or high and low level signal. For example, each group of identification elements 121 includes four resistors, which are A resistor, B resistor, C resistor, and D resistor in sequence from the voltage source VDD to the ground, then the identification terminal 1210 can be connected between the A resistor and the B resistor, or can be connected to Between the B resistor and the C resistor, it can also be connected between the C resistor and the D resistor.

When the electronic cigarette 1 includes multiple sets of identification elements 121 , each set of identification elements 121 shares a part of resistance, and each set of identification elements 121 has its own other resistance. For example, two groups of identification elements 121 share A resistor and B resistor, and another part of the resistance of one group of identification elements 121 is C1 resistor and D1 resistor, and another part of resistance of the other group of identification elements 12 is C2 resistor and D2 resistor. The following uses the case where the identification element includes two resistors as an example.

The resistance values of the two resistors 1212 can be the same or different. Of course, the second resistor 1212 can also be shared.

The electronic cigarette 1 further includes a second selection circuit 124 , and the second selection circuit 124 is provided with a second controlled terminal 1240 , a second input terminal 1241 and a plurality of second output terminals 1242 . The control circuit 111 includes a control terminal 1111 for coupling to the second controlled terminal 1240 . One end of the first resistor 1211 is coupled to the voltage source VDD, the other end of the first resistor 1211 is respectively coupled to the second input end 1241 and the identification end 1210, and one end of each second resistor 1212 is correspondingly connected to a second output end 1242, each The other end of a second resistor 1212 is grounded.

The control circuit 111 is used to output a selection signal to the second selection circuit 124 through the second controlled terminal 1240. After the second selection circuit 124 receives the selection signal through the second controlled terminal 1240, it sequentially connects the first resistor 1211 and each The second resistor 1212 further enables the control circuit 111 to obtain the high and low level signals or voltage signal values from the identification elements 121 of each group, and the combination of the high and low level signals or voltage signal values of the identification elements 121 of each group constitutes the identification signal.

Of course, if the second resistor 1212 is shared, the second selection circuit 124 can be provided with several second input terminals 1241 and second output terminals 1242 corresponding to the first resistors 1211 and the second resistors 1212 respectively.

In some implementations, a part of each group of identification elements 121 may be located in the smoking device 11 , and another part may be located in the cartridge 12 , and the signals generated by each group of identification elements 121 together constitute an identification signal.

As shown in FIG. 8 , for example, the identification element 121 includes a first resistor 1211 and a second resistor 1212 .

The second resistor 1212 is arranged in the cartridge 12, and one end is connected to the identification end 1210, and the other end is grounded. When the pod 12 is connected to the smoking device 11, the identification terminal 1210 is connected to the signal terminal 1110, so that the first resistor 1211 and the second resistor 1212 can be combined into a complete set of identification elements 121, which can output high and low level signals or voltage signal values.

Of course, for example, the identification element 121 includes a first resistor 1211 and a second resistor 1212 , the first resistor 1211 is set in the cartridge 12 , and one end is connected to the voltage source VDD, and the other end is connected to the identification terminal 1210 .

Of course, the first resistor 1211 can be set in the cartridge 12 , while the second selection circuit 124 and the second resistors 1212 can be set in the smoking appliance 12 .

In this embodiment, a part of the identification element 121 is located in the cartridge 12 and a part is located in the smoking device 11, which can improve the anti-counterfeiting ability of the cartridge 12, and the disassembly of the identification element 121 can reduce the manufacturing cost of the cartridge 12, making the cartridge 12 The adaptability between the pod 12 and the smoking device 11 is enhanced, thereby providing better and more suitable atomization conditions for the pod 12 .
