The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202111244660.0, titled “PIECEWISE HEATING TEMPERATURE CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VAPING SET, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE”, filed on Oct. 26, 2021 with the China National Intellectual Property Administration, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of heating control for vaping sets, and in particular to a piecewise heating temperature control method and apparatus for a vaping set, and an electronic device.
The emergence of low-temperature cigarette products has changed, through a heat-not-burn method, the traditional cigarettes which are burnt to generate visible smoke, thereby greatly reducing the release of tar and harmful components, and causing little harm to the environment and surrounding people. Currently, a heat-not-burn vaping set heats a cigarette through circumferential heating, or by inserting a central heating element into the cigarette for purpose of heating. Compared with the burning heating method for the traditional cigarettes, a cigarette is evenly hearted inside the vaping set in either of the above heating processes, and heat will continuously accumulate in the smoke inside the vaping set during the heating process due to poor air circulation. The smoke will bring the inside temperature to an outside position during vaping, which further increases the temperature at the outside position. Ultimately, the user may burn his mouth when smoking, and the smoking experience of the user is affected.
In order to solve the above problem, a piecewise heating temperature control method and apparatus for a vaping set, and an electronic device are provided according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

The beneficial effects of the present disclosure are as follows. Several cigarette heating segments are provided inside the vaping set, and by simulating and regulating the temperature change of each cigarette heating segment during the vaping process under a certain vaping condition, different cigarette heating segments have different heating temperatures, which ensures that the temperature corresponding to the smoke finally vaped is relatively uniform, protecting the user from burning his mouth when vaping. In addition, the heating processing of each cigarette heating segment is continuously regulated according to the vaping habit of the user, thereby improving the vaping experience for the user.

Reference is made to
In step S101, parameter information of the vaping set is obtained, and at least two cigarette heating segments are obtained based on the parameter information of the vaping set.
The execution subject in the present disclosure may be a controller in a heat-not-burn vaping set.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, during use of the heat-not-burn vaping set, a heat-not-burn cigarette is inserted into the corresponding heat-not-burn vaping set, and the heat-not-burn vaping set is heated to thereby heat the cigarette, to generate smoke for the user to vape. Different vaping sets with different models correspond to different vaping set parameter information. That is to say, a cigarette insertion depth and a corresponding size of an insertable cigarette vary in vaping sets with different models, resulting in different heating lengths of the cigarette when the cigarette is heated by the vaping set. In the present disclosure, to ensure that the smoke finally vaped out from each part of the vaping set does not burn the mouth, the inserted part of the cigarette is segmented for piecewise heating. Therefore, firstly, the parameter information of the vaping set is obtained, and the number of cigarette heating segments is determined based on the parameter information of the vaping set.
In an embodiment, the obtaining parameter information of the vaping set, and obtaining at least two cigarette heating segments based on the parameter information of the vaping set includes:
In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller can obtain the depth and the radius of the cigarette insertion groove from the parameter information of the vaping set. In order to ensure the effect of the piecewise heating, the segment length may not be too long, and the temperature for heating the inside of the cigarette increases when the radius of the cigarette insertion groove increases, which also affects the temperature at the intersection of adjacent heating segments. Therefore, a suitable optimal heating distance is determined according to the depth and the radius of the cigarette insertion groove, based on which the cigarette heating segments are obtained.
In S102, an initial heating temperature of the vaping set is determined, and a neural convolutional network model is constructed according to the initial heating temperature of the vaping set to calculate a first temperature change curve of each of the at least two cigarette heating segments in a preset vaping condition.
The vaping condition in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be understood as a simulated environmental condition when the vaping set is vaped, such as vaping intensity, vaping interval, and the like.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the heating temperature of each part of the conventional vaping set is the same. The controller determines the initial heating temperature which is the default heating temperature of the vaping set, obtains a training model to perform a simulated heating training based on the initial heating temperature of the vaping set, to thereby construct a neural convolutional network model suitable for the vaping set. The specific construction and generation process is common knowledge that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art, and the model construction process is not the focus of the present disclosure, so it is not described in detail here. Through the constructed neural convolutional network model, a first temperature change curve of each of the cigarette heating segments is determined during the heating process in which the vaping set is uniformly heated internally from the initial heating temperature of the vaping set in the preset vaping condition (i.e., with the determined vaping time interval and vaping intensity).
In step S103, the initial heating temperature corresponding to each of the at least two cigarette heating segments is regulated separately based on the first temperature change curve to obtain each regulated heating temperature, where a temperature range of a second temperature change curve corresponding to the each regulated heating temperature falls within a preset range.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the temperature threshold range of each of the cigarette heating segments is obtained from the first temperature change curve, in a case that the vaping set is heated evenly from the initial heating temperature. In order not to burn the mouth and ensure the vaping experience, the temperature of the vaped smoke cannot be too high or too low, that is, during the whole vaping process, the temperature change of each of the cigarette heating segments should be within a preset range. Therefore, the heating temperature of each cigarette heating segment is regulated separately according to the first temperature change curve corresponding to each of the cigarette heating segments, and finally a regulated heating temperature corresponding to the second temperature change curve whose temperature range is completely within the preset range is obtained. By maintaining the regulated heating temperature of each of the cigarette heating segments, the user's vaping experience throughout the vaping process is improved without burning the mouth. And such a regulation process is relatively simple, and can be used in different vaping sets.
In an embodiment, the regulating the initial heating temperature of each of the at least two cigarette heating segments based on the first temperature change curve to obtain each regulated heating temperature, where a temperature range of a second temperature change curve corresponding to the each regulated heating temperature falls within a preset range, includes:
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the initial heating temperature is regulated according to the first temperature change curve, to obtain the regulated heating temperature, and simulation calculation is performed in the neural convolutional network model based on the regulated heating temperature, so as to determine whether the generated second temperature change curve is completely within the preset range. When the generated second temperature change curve is not completely within the preset range, the regulated heating temperature is regulated again based on the second temperature change curve. The process of simulating in the model is repeated until a regulated heating temperature meeting the condition is obtained.
In an embodiment, the method further includes:
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the regulated heating temperature suitable for the vaping set is calculated, the regulated heating temperature is recorded when the vaping set is turned off, so that the heating temperature of the vaping set can be directly regulated based on each regulated heating temperature when the vaping set is started again. In this way, it is not necessary to calculate the regulated heating temperature with the neural convolutional network model every time, which ensures the vaping efficiency of the vaping set.
In an embodiment, the method further includes:
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the above-described process, the regulated heating temperature is obtained in the preset vaping condition, that is, based on the average vaping interval and the average vaping volume determined according to a large amount of user data. In practice, for individual users, their vaping habits are different, and different vaping habits affect the air flow inside the vaping set and the heat accumulation time, which leads to inaccurate calculation of the regulated heating temperature and thereby occurrence of mouth burn. Therefore, when the user is actually vaping, the user data on vaping habit is collected, and the simulation process of the neural convolutional network model is optimized based on the user data on vaping habit, so as to recalculate the regulated heating temperature. In this way, it is ensured that the finally obtained regulated heating temperature can best suit the user.
In an embodiment, the method further includes:
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, during the actual vaping process of the user, he is unlikely to completely vape at constant interval and intensity, but may have his personal habit, such as vaping twice and tasting the smoke before continuing, so it may still be unlikely to obtain the most suitable regulated heating temperature only according to the user data on vaping habit. Therefore, the user data on vaping habit is continuously collected and the habit curve of the full vaping process of the user is generated accordingly. The dynamic change of the user's vaping habit during the full vaping process can be accurately characterized through the habit curve. Thereby, when the vaping set is started next time, data such as the time interval and change in vaping intensity between vaping nodes can be determined based on the vaping nodes in the vaping habit curve. The regulated heating temperature is dynamically regulated accordingly, better adapting to vaping of the user.
In an embodiment, the method further includes:
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, every time the user completes a full vaping process, a full vaping habit curve for the user is generated. The controller integrates and regulates the at least three vaping habit curves and exclude errors, to obtain the standard full vaping habit curve. Subsequently, the regulated heating temperature is regulated based on the standard full vaping habit curve in the following process.
