As shown in
In a specific embodiment, the anti-counterfeiting circuit 11 is integrated on an anti-counterfeiting chip ASIC. In the related art, an encryption function of an electronic vaporization device is implemented through a circuit board, namely, a PCB. However, in an actual application process, a high-power MOS transistor and/or a large-capacity capacitor are/is generally required for normal operation, but the size of the high-power MOS transistor or the large-capacity capacitor is generally very large, which may significantly increase an area of the PCB and limit the size of the vaporizer 10. In addition, due to limitation of the area of the PCB, the assembly difficulty may be increased. In this application, the anti-counterfeiting circuit 11 is integrated on an anti-counterfeiting chip ASIC. The anti-counterfeiting chip ASIC may be a wafer, which has a feature of a small volume and may be independently encapsulated into an independent element. Therefore, the structure of PCB is replaced, to achieve an objective of reducing costs. Further, during assembly, the anti-counterfeiting circuit can be assembled at any position in the vaporizer 10 without being limited by the volume, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty.
The vaporizer 10 further includes a heating element 13. The heating element 13 is connected to the anti-counterfeiting circuit 11 in parallel. Specifically, the heating element 13 is connected to the first connection end m1 and the second connection end m2 of the vaporizer 10. The anti-counterfeiting circuit 11 includes a signal source 12, and the signal source 12 is connected to the first connection end m1 and the second connection end m2. That is, the signal source 12 is connected to the heating element 13 in parallel. The signal source 12 works in a first state or a second state to send the second communication signal to the battery rod 20. In this application, the signal source 12 is disposed on the anti-counterfeiting circuit 11 implementing the encryption function, and the signal source 12 works in the first state or the second state to send the second communication signal to the battery rod 20 to further implement communication between the battery rod 20 and the vaporizer 10. Components such as the high-power MOS transistor, the large-capacity capacitor, and the PCB are not used, and the anti-counterfeiting circuit 11 is integrated on the anti-counterfeiting chip ASIC to form an independent element, so that the size of the vaporizer 10 can be further reduced, thereby reducing costs. Specifically, a main function of the signal source 12 is to generate voltage signals with different amplitudes in two different working states, the signal source 12 specifically may be a constant current source or may be a load, and the load specifically may be a resistor, a transistor, a MOS transistor, or a diode.
Specifically, the anti-counterfeiting circuit 11 further includes a processing unit CPU. The processing unit CPU includes a first control interface Sig-out configured to output a first control signal; and the signal source is 12 is connected to the first control interface Sig-out and works in the first state or the second state under driving of the first control signal.
Specifically, after the vaporizer 10 receives the first communication signal, the processing unit CPU outputs the first control signal through the first control interface Sig-out to drive the signal source 12 to work in the first state. In this case, the signal source 12 is in a non-working state. As shown in
As shown in
Specifically, as shown in
Specifically, the battery rod 20 further includes a first voltage unit 22 and a second voltage unit 23. The first voltage unit 22 is connected to the control unit 21 and the first connection end n1, to send the first level signal V1 to the vaporizer 10; and the second voltage unit 23 is connected to the control unit 21 and the first connection end n1, to send the second level signal V2 to the vaporizer 10.
Referring to
In an embodiment, when the signal source 12 works in the first state, a voltage on the first connection end n1 is maintained at the third level signal V3; and when the signal source 12 works in the second state, the voltage on the first connection end n1 is maintained at the fourth level signal V4. Specifically, after the vaporizer 10 receives the first communication signal, the processing unit CPU outputs the first control signal through the first control interface Sig-out to drive the signal source 12 to work in the first state. In this case, the signal source 12 is in a non-working state, the voltage on the two ends (namely, the first connection end n1/m1) of the heating element 13 is the third level signal V3 serving as a logic high level, thereby implementing sending of data “1” from the vaporizer 10 to the battery rod 20. The processing unit CPU outputs the first control signal through the first control interface Sig-out to drive the signal source 12 to work in the second state. In this case, the signal source 12 is in a working state, the signal source 12 is connected to the heating element 13 in parallel, the divider voltage between the signal source and the internal resistance of the switch 1 is reduced, and the value of the voltage on the two ends (namely, the first connection end n1/m1) of the heating element 13 is reduced to be the fourth level signal V4 serving as a logic low level, thereby implementing sending of data “0” from the vaporizer 10 to the battery rod 20.
Further, the battery rod 20 further includes a signal identification unit 24. The signal identification unit 24 is connected to a signal acquisition end P3 of the control unit 21 and the first connection end n1, and configured to acquire the second communication signal, identify the second communication signal, and feed back an identification result to the signal acquisition end P3, for the battery rod 20 to determine whether the vaporizer 10 matches the battery rod according to the identification result. Specifically, the signal identification unit 24 acquires a voltage signal on the first connection end n1 and identifies the voltage signal, to determine whether the acquired voltage signal is the third level signal V3 serving as a logic high level or the fourth level signal V4 serving as a logic low level, and further determine whether a received data signal is “1” or “0”, feeds back the identification result to the signal acquisition end P3, and further determines whether the current vaporizer 10 matches the battery rod 20 by using the control unit 21. As shown in
In an embodiment, as shown in
In another embodiment, as shown in
In another embodiment, as shown in
Specifically, in this application, a level signal sent by the battery rod 20 to the vaporizer 10 and a level signal sent by the vaporizer 10 to the battery rod 20 are both greater than a power supply voltage VDD. That is, the first level signal V1, the second level signal V2, the third level signal V3, and the fourth level signal V4 are all greater than the power supply voltage VDD of the anti-counterfeiting chip ASIC. In this way, power can be supplied to the anti-counterfeiting chip ASIC, and therefore no power supply capacitor is disposed in the anti-counterfeiting chip ASIC. Specifically, a power supply interface VDD is further provided in the anti-counterfeiting chip ASIC, and when the power supply interface VDD is connected to the first connection end m1 and the battery rod 20 communicates with the vaporizer 10 through the first connection end m1, power can be supplied to the anti-counterfeiting chip ASIC through the first connection end m1 simultaneously.
Further, the vaporizer 10 further includes a direction switching circuit 14. The direction switching circuit 14 is connected to a second control interface Sig-in of the processing unit CPU, and the direction switching circuit 14 is connected to the heating element 13 in parallel and configured to implement forward or reverse insertion of the vaporizer 10 into the battery rod 20 under driving of a second control signal. The direction switching circuit 14 in this embodiment and a direction switching circuit in the related art have a same structure, and details are not described herein again.
The second voltage unit 23 includes a second switch Q2, a first resistor R1, and a first capacitor C1. The second switch Q2 includes a first path end, a second path end, and a control end, where the control end of the second switch Q2 is connected to a second driving end P2 to receive a second driving signal, the second driving signal is a PWM signal, and the first path end of the second switch Q2 receives the battery voltage Vbat. A first end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the second path end of the second switch Q2, and a second end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the first connection end n1. A first end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the second path end of the second switch Q2, and a second end of the first capacitor C1 is grounded.
When the first driving signal outputted by the first driving end P1 of the control unit 21 controls the first switch Q1 to be turned on, the first voltage unit 22 sends the first level signal V1 to the vaporizer 10 by using the battery voltage Vbat. When the second driving signal outputted by the second driving end P2 of the control unit 21 controls the second switch Q2 to be turned on, the second voltage unit 23 sends the second level signal V2 to the vaporizer 10 by using the battery voltage Vbat. The second driving signal is a PWM signal, the second switch Q2 similarly forms a small switch power supply, and a constant voltage value can be outputted by controlling turn-on/turn-off of the second switch Q2 by using a PWM signal. Since the battery voltage Vbat may gradually decrease along with a working duration of the battery, a duty cycle and a frequency of the PWM signal may be controlled by a change value of the battery voltage Vbat, and a voltage value of the second level signal V2 sent by the second voltage unit 23 may be further controlled, thereby ensuring that a voltage difference between the first level signal V1 and the second level signal V2 is greater than a minimum voltage difference such as 0.7 V that can be identified by the anti-counterfeiting chip ASIC.
When the heating element 13 is heated, a PWM signal needs to be outputted to the heating element 13 through the first switch Q1. Since the first capacitor C1 has a relatively great capacitance value, during heating, a PWM waveform of the second path end (that is, the first connection end n1) of the first switch Q1 deforms. Further, in this embodiment, the battery rod 20 further includes a protection unit 25, and the protection unit 25 is connected to the second voltage unit 23 and the first voltage unit 22 and configured to prevent a heating signal of the first connection end n1 from being affected in a heating process.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the protection unit 25 includes a third switch Q3. The third switch Q3 is a dual-gate transistor, and includes a first path end, a second path end, and a control end, where the first path end of the third switch Q3 is connected to the second end of the first resistor R1, the control end of the third switch Q3 is connected to a P4 end of the control unit 21, and the second path end of the third switch Q3 is connected to the first connection end n1. Further, the control end of the third switch Q3 is further connected to a resistor R. When the battery rod 20 heats the vaporizer 10, the P4 end of the control unit 21 controls the third switch Q3 to be turned off, to cut off a path between the first switch Q1 and the first capacitor C1, and further prevent influence of the first capacitor C1 on the first switch Q1 during heating.
In this embodiment, the signal identification unit 24 includes a second comparator CMP2, a second diode D2, a third diode D3, and a second capacitor C2. The second comparator CMP2 includes a first input end, a second input end, and an output end, where the output end of the second comparator CMP2 is connected to a signal acquisition end P3 of the control unit 21. An anode of the second diode D2 is connected to the first connection end n1, and a cathode of the second diode D2 is connected to the first input end of the second comparator CMP2. An anode of the third diode D3 is connected to the first connection end n1, and a cathode of the third diode D3 is connected to the second input end of the second comparator CMP2. A first end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the cathode of the third diode D3, and a second end of the second capacitor C2 is grounded.
Specifically, after the signal identification unit 24 acquires the second communication signal on the first connection end n1, the second communication signal is divided into two channels of signals through the second diode D2 and the third diode D3, where a signal passing through the second diode D2 is an original signal, and a signal passing through the third diode D3 is filtered through the second capacitor C2 to form a filter signal. The second comparator CMP2 compares the original signal with the filter signal, to identify whether a current obtained signal is the third level signal V3 or the fourth level signal V4. As shown in
Further, the control unit 21 further includes a port P5 connected to the first connection end n1. The port P5 may be an analog-to-digital converter ADC carried in the control unit 21, which can detect a voltage value on the first connection end n1, and the voltage value on the first connection end n1 is equal to a voltage value of the heating element 13, so that a temperature of the heating element 13 can be obtained according to the voltage value on the first connection end n1. The battery rod 20 may further control the heating element 13 according to the temperature of the heating element 13. For example, if the temperature is excessively high, power can be properly reduced to reduce the temperature; and if the temperature is excessively low, power can be properly increased to increase the temperature.
In this embodiment, turn-on of the fifth switch Q5 or the sixth switch Q6 may be selected according to a voltage value of the battery voltage Vbat. Specifically, when the battery voltage Vbat provided by the fifth switch Q5 is greater than a predetermined value, the fifth switch Q5 is turned on, and the fifth switch Q5 outputs the second level signal V2 by using the battery voltage Vbat; and when the battery voltage Vbat provided by the fifth switch Q5 is less than the predetermined value, the sixth switch Q6 is turned on, so that the constant second level signal V2 decreases, thereby ensuring that a difference between the battery voltage Vbat and the second level signal V2 is maintained within a predetermined range.
In this embodiment, the second driving signal is a level signal, when the first switch Q1 is turned on, the first level signal V1 is sent to the vaporizer 10; and when the seventh switch Q7 is turned on, the second level signal V2 is sent to the vaporizer 10.
In this embodiment, the second communication signal sent by the vaporizer 10 on the first connection end n1 is converted into an alternating current signal after isolation direct current filtering by the third capacitor C3 is performed on the second communication signal. The operational amplifier amplifies the alternating current signal to obtain high and low level signals. The control unit 21 identifies the third level signal V3 and the fourth level signal V4 according to the high and low level signals.
In this embodiment, the first comparator CMP1 obtains the first communication signal on the first connection end n1, and compares the first communication signal with the reference voltage VREF. If the first communication signal on the first connection end n1 is greater than the reference voltage VREF, the first comparator CMP1 controls the eighth switch Q8 to be turned off, to decrease the first communication signal to be close to the reference voltage VREF. If the first communication signal on the first connection end n1 is less than the reference voltage VREF, the first comparator CMP1 controls the eighth switch Q8 to be turned on, to increase the first communication signal to be close to the reference voltage VREF, thereby implementing sending of the first level signal V1 and the second level signal V2 from the battery rod 20 to the vaporizer 10.
In this application, an anti-counterfeiting circuit 11 is used to implement communication between the battery rod 20 and the vaporizer 10, and the anti-counterfeiting circuit 11 is integrated on an anti-counterfeiting chip ASIC, thereby replacing a solution of implementing communication by using a circuit board in the related art. The anti-counterfeiting chip ASIC can be manufacture in a form of a wafer, so that the anti-counterfeiting chip ASIC has a feature of a small volume and is easy to mount.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the first electrode connection portion 411 and the second electrode connection portion 412 are disposed on two opposite sides of the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 respectively, the first electrode connection portion 411 and the second electrode connection portion 412 are annular, and the first electrode connection portion 411 and the second electrode connection portion 412 are sleeved on the first conductive component 421 and the second conductive component 422 respectively, so that the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 is disposed between the first electrode connection portion 411 and the second electrode connection portion 412. In this embodiment, an orthographic projection of the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 on the vaporization bottom base 30 completely does not overlap with orthographic projections of the second end of the first electrode connection portion 411 and the second end of the second electrode connection portion 412 on the vaporization bottom base 30.
In the first embodiment to the fourth embodiment described above, the conductive component is an electrode column, which may be made of any conductive material, may be in a shape of a column, and a cross section thereof is a circle, a rectangle, or a triangle.
In a specific embodiment, the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 may be disposed on the side of the vaporization bottom base 30 of the vaporizer 10 close to the vaporization assembly 35, and may be disposed at intervals with the vaporization bottom base 30 of the vaporizer 10. That is, the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 is not in contact with the vaporization bottom base 30 of the vaporizer 10. In another embodiment, the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 may be disposed on the surface of the side of the vaporization bottom base 30 of the vaporizer 10 close to the vaporization assembly 35. That is, the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 is in contact with the vaporization bottom base 30 of the vaporizer 10. In another embodiment, the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 may alternatively be disposed in a groove 43 or a through hole 43 of the vaporization bottom base 30 of the vaporizer 10. Specifically, this example is shown in
The first elastic sheet 423 and the second elastic sheet 424 run through the vaporization bottom base 30 of the vaporizer 10 and are bent, a first end of the first elastic sheet 423 abuts against the first electrode contact 321, a second end of the first elastic sheet is disposed on the surface of the vaporization bottom base 30 of the vaporizer 10 away from the vaporization assembly 35, a first end of the second elastic sheet 424 abuts against the second electrode contact 322, and a second end of the second elastic sheet is disposed on the surface of the vaporization bottom base 30 of the vaporizer 10 away from the vaporization assembly 35. The anti-counterfeiting unit 413 is electrically connected to the first elastic sheet 423 and the second elastic sheet 424 respectively through the first pin 414 and the second pin 415.
As shown in
In another embodiment, it may be alternatively set that the orthographic projections of the first pin 414 and the first elastic sheet 423 on the vaporization bottom base 30 partially overlap with each other, and the orthographic projections of the second pin 415 and the second elastic sheet 424 on the vaporization bottom base 30 at least partially overlap with each other. Details are not limited, provided that the first pin 414 and the second pin 415 of the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 can be connected to the first elastic sheet 423 and the second elastic sheet 424.
In this embodiment, the side of the vaporization bottom base 30 of the vaporizer 10 away from the vaporization assembly 35 is provided with a groove 43, and the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 is disposed in the groove 43. To protect the groove 43, a protection member 44 is further disposed in the groove 43, and the protection member 44 covers the anti-counterfeiting unit 413, to prevent the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 from being exposed at the bottom portion of the vaporization bottom base 30. Further, the protection member 44 may not be disposed, and to protect the anti-counterfeiting unit 413, sealing may be performed at a position corresponding to the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 of the bottom portion of the vaporization bottom base 30.
In this embodiment, the protection member 44 is disposed on the side of the vaporization bottom base 30 of the vaporizer 10 close to the vaporization assembly 35 and covers the anti-counterfeiting unit 413. A position of the protection member 44 corresponding to the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 is provided with a groove 43 for accommodating the anti-counterfeiting unit 413, so that the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 can be fixed in the groove 43 of the vaporization bottom base 30.
Specifically, the electrode contact 32 includes a first electrode contact 321 and a second electrode contact 322. The electrode connection portion 41 includes a first electrode connection portion 411 and a second electrode connection portion 412. A first end of the first electrode connection portion 411 abuts against the first electrode contact 321, and a second end of the first electrode connection portion is inserted into the through hole 43 of the vaporization bottom base 30 of the vaporizer 10 and exposed, to serve as the first electrode (namely, the first connection end m1) of the vaporizer 10; and a first end of the second electrode connection portion 412 abuts against the second electrode contact 322, and a second end of the second electrode connection portion is inserted into the through hole 43 of the vaporization bottom base 30 of the vaporizer 10 and exposed, to serve as the second electrode (namely, the second connection end m2) of the vaporizer 10.
In this embodiment, a part between the first end and the second end of the first electrode connection portion 411 is electrically connected to the anti-counterfeiting unit 413; and a part between the first end and the second end of the second electrode connection portion 412 is electrically connected to the anti-counterfeiting unit 413.
In the foregoing embodiment, the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 may include a wafer and a package wrapping the wafer. Specifically, a conductive line is disposed on the wafer, the package encapsulates the wafer to form the anti-counterfeiting unit 413, and the package may further encapsulate the conductive line on the wafer, to form positive and negative pins electrically connected to the electrode connection portion 41. Further, the package may further encapsulate the electrode connection portion 41, so that the electrode connection portion 41 and the anti-counterfeiting unit 413, namely, the anti-counterfeiting component 40 form an independent element. Certainly, it may be understood that, the electrode connection portion 41 may alternatively serve as an independent element and exist independent of the anti-counterfeiting unit 413. That is, the anti-counterfeiting component 40 includes two parts: the separated anti-counterfeiting unit 413 and the electrode connection portion 41. In another embodiment, the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 may alternatively directly be a wafer, and the wafer is bound to the conductive component 42 through a conductive line such as a golden line or a copper line by using a binding machine, to be further connected to an electrode contact of the vaporization assembly.
In the foregoing embodiment, the conductive component, the electrode connection portion, and the electrode contact may be connected to each other through a riveting, crimping, welding, or bonding process.

In this application, the anti-counterfeiting component 40 is used to replace the circuit board that can implement communication in the related art. On one hand, the structure of the anti-counterfeiting component 40 is simple, so that a small volume can be implemented. On the other hand, costs can be reduced.

When the vaporizer 10 is connected to the battery rod 20, an electrode of the battery rod 20 is correspondingly connected to the electrode of the vaporizer 10, so that the anti-counterfeiting component can communicate with the battery rod 20 and further determine whether the battery rod 20 matches the vaporizer 10.

One end of the second conductive component 422 is inserted into the through hole of the vaporization bottom base 30 of the vaporizer 10 and exposed, to serve as the second electrode (namely, the second connection end m2) of the vaporizer 10.
When the vaporizer 10 is connected to the battery rod 20, an electrode of the battery rod 20 is correspondingly connected to the electrode of the vaporizer 10, so that the anti-counterfeiting component can communicate with the battery rod 20 and further determine whether the battery rod 20 matches the vaporizer 10.
Specifically, the first conductive component 421 includes a first columnar body 61 and a second columnar body 62 protruding from the surface of the first columnar body 61, and the second conductive component 422 includes a third columnar body 63 and a fourth columnar body 64 protruding from the surface of the third columnar body 63. The first columnar body 61 and the third columnar body 63 are embedded in the through hole of the vaporization bottom base 30 of the vaporizer 10 and exposed; the first electrode connection portion 451 is inserted from the side surface of the first columnar body 61, extends out of the top surface, and is attached to the surface of the second columnar body 62; and the second electrode connection portion 452 is inserted from the side surface of the third columnar body 63, extends out of the top surface, and is attached to the surface of the fourth columnar body 64.

Alternatively, the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 is disposed on the surface of the side of the vaporization bottom base 30 of the vaporizer 10 close to or away from the vaporization assembly 35. Alternatively, the anti-counterfeiting unit 413 is disposed in the groove or the through hole of the vaporization bottom base 35 of the vaporizer 10, which is not specifically limited.
