[0037] In order to better understand the technical solutions, the technical solutions will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and the specific embodiments of the specification, and it should be understood that the embodiments and the specific features of the embodiments of the present invention are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the present application, but not limitations of the technical solutions of the present application, and the technical features of the embodiments and the examples of the present invention may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0038] Example one

[0039] Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling an electronic cigarette, including:

[0040] sl, if a smoking signal is detected, controlling the tobacco liquid atomization element to enter a heating state, so that smoke generated by the tobacco liquid atomization element atomizing tobacco tar flows into a tobacco area to fumigate the tobacco;

[0041] and S2, after the working accumulation of the tobacco liquid atomizing element reaches the first preset inch, if a smoking signal is detected, controlling the tobacco heating element to enter a heating state so that the tobacco liquid atomizing element and the tobacco heating element work with the inch, and steaming and baking the tobacco by using the smoke generated by the tobacco liquid atomizing element atomizing tobacco tar and the tobacco heating element with the inch so as to generate smoke for a user to smoke.

[0042] Regarding step S1:

[0043] the purpose of step S1 is to begin smoking an inch at the user' S expense, and to evaporate the tobacco flavor from the tobacco using only high temperature steam. In this embodiment, step S1 specifically includes: after the electronic cigarette promoting signal is detected, if a smoking signal is detected

And controlling the tobacco liquid atomizing element to enter a heating state so that the smoke generated by the tobacco liquid atomizing element atomizing the tobacco oil flows into the tobacco region to fumigate the tobacco.

[0044] Wherein, after the electronic cigarette is launched, the tobacco heating element does not work. When the smoking signal inch is detected, only the tobacco liquid atomizing element works, and the smoke generated by the tobacco liquid atomizing element atomizing tobacco tar flows into the tobacco area inch to steam the tobacco so as to evaporate the smoke as much as possible.

[0045] Wherein, the smoking signal is a signal generated when the smoking inch airflow sensor of the user detects the smoking action of the user. Preferably, the airflow sensor is an airflow sensor manufactured by Hangzhou exhibition electronics company Limited with the model number S087.

[0046] The electronic cigarette has multiple starting modes, for example, after the tobacco is inserted into the electronic cigarette cavity, the tobacco extrudes the pressure sensor in the electronic cigarette cavity, and the pressure sensor generates an electronic cigarette starting signal when detecting pressure change; after the tobacco is inserted into the electronic cigarette cavity, the capacitance sensor in the electronic cigarette cavity detects the capacitance change and then generates an electronic cigarette booting signal; after tobacco inserts the electron cigarette cavity, tobacco extrusion light touch boost in the electron cigarette cavity, then trigger light touch boost and send the electronic cigarette start signal.

[0047] Therefore, preferably, the electronic cigarette enable signal is a signal generated by the pressure sensor detecting a change in pressure after the tobacco is inserted into the electronic cigarette cavity, or a signal generated by the capacitance sensor detecting a change in capacitance after the tobacco is inserted into the electronic cigarette cavity, or a signal generated by the electronic cigarette enable signal generated by the tobacco being extruded after the tobacco is inserted into the electronic cigarette cavity.

[0048] Preferably, the pressure sensor is a model MPX5100 pressure sensor manufactured by Feichka corporation of America. It can be understood that other sensors capable of detecting the insertion of the tobacco to generate the electronic cigarette enable signal can be further disposed in the electronic cigarette, and the electronic cigarette is not limited herein.

[0049] In order to more intuitively remind the user of the state of the electronic cigarette, the electronic cigarette can be reminded through the light-emitting unit when the cigarette liquid atomizing element works.

[0051] to avoid the tobacco liquid atomizing elements operating alone in long inches, with the tobacco zone blocked by condensed smoke vapor, a first preset inch of length is provided. In the first preset inch length, the smoke liquid atomization element works independently to evaporate the smoke smell of the tobacco as far as possible by the smoke generated by the smoke liquid atomization element atomizing the tobacco tar, but after the work accumulation of the smoke liquid atomization element reaches the first preset inch length, the condensed steam in the tobacco is evaporated by the tobacco heating element and the smoke smell of the tobacco is further baked, so that the tobacco is prevented from being burnt and the gas circuit is not smooth, and the smoke smell is released relatively and uniformly.

[0052] In order to prolong the service life of the electronic cigarette and save the battery, when a user stops smoking, the tobacco heating element is enabled to work alone by controlling the smoke atomizing element to stop working. Therefore, the step S2 is followed by a step S3 of controlling the liquid atomizer to stop working if no smoking signal is detected.

[0053] After the tobacco liquid atomizing element stops working, the tobacco heating element works at low power to realize heat preservation in the process of waiting for the user to inhale the next cigarette. Therefore, it is preferable that the step S3 is followed by a step S4 of controlling the tobacco heating element to operate at a preset power to control the heating temperature within a preset temperature range during the process of waiting for a smoking signal after the liquid smoke generating element stops operating. The preset power can be full power or general power, and can be set according to requirements, and the preset temperature range is generally recommended to be 120-200 ℃. C.

[0054] It can be understood that, in order to avoid the tobacco heating element being in the state of waiting for smoking for a long time, a second preset inch length is set, and in the process of waiting for the user to smoke the next cigarette within the second preset inch length, the tobacco heating element operates at a low power, but if no smoking signal is detected within the second preset inch length, the tobacco heating element stops operating. Therefore, preferably, the step S4 further includes: and within the second preset inch length after the tobacco liquid atomizing element stops working, if no smoking signal is detected, controlling the tobacco heating element to stop working. The second preset inch length is generally suggested to be a numerical value of 3-8 minutes, and can be set in the factory inch of the electronic cigarette, and a user setting scheme can also be provided.
