图4和图5为本发明过流或短路保护的控制装置实施例3和实施例4的电路结构示意图，在该图示中，比较器600为微控制器200的内部比较器（如图4）或微控制器200利用模数转换器ADC来采样，检测流过场效应管400的电流有没有过流或短路，当过流或短路发生时，微控制器200将关闭场效应管400 不让其继续导通，这样就可以保护产品不被过流或短路损坏。
下面根据图 6 来描述 电子烟的过流或短路保护的控制过程，其步骤包括： 包括以下步骤：
S10 、预置一参考电压，该参考电压为预设的过流电流在场效应管内阻上所产生的电压；
S20、 实时检测工作电流流过场效应管内阻产生的实际工作电压；
S30、 比较器比较所述参考电压以及所述实际工作电压，判断实际工作电压是否大于是否 参考电压，如果是，转入步骤 S40 ，否则，转入步骤 S50 ；
S40 、通过开关控制模块控制场效应管断开，使加热元件断电；
S50 、通过开关控制模块使场效应管继续保持导通状态。
具体的，通过比较器输出比较结果至开关控制模块（微控制器或半导体开关），微控制器或半导体开关根据比较结果控制场效应管断开或者保持导通。若实际工作电压小于预置的参考电压，比较器输出低电平到微控制器或半导体开关，微控制器或半导体开关输出高电平，进而使场效应管保持导通状态，如果实际工作电压大于预置的参考电压，比较器输出高电平，微控制器或半导体开关输出低电平至场效应管、控制场效应管断开。
进一步的过程包括：
1 、按动电子烟按键或吸烟传感器感应用户吸烟，给微控制器一开启信号；
2 、微控制器给场效应管栅极端输出一开启电压（ VGS ），当 VGS 大于 VTT （ VTT 为场效应管的门坎电压），场效应管导通，电流由电源模块 300 （即电池）正极流过加热元件并流过场效应管的 D 端到 S 端到电池负端；
3 、 加热元件工作，为加热状态；
4 、微控制器或比较器的 Ui 端检测场效应管 D 端电压，此电压是由电流流过 加热元件和 场效应管电流 I 乘以场效应管内阻的值（当 G 点到 S 点的电压 V GS 保持不变时，该内阻值 Ro 为一固定值， Ui=I * Ro ）；
5 、比较器参考电压输入端 UREF ， 设置一参考电压， UREF=I 过流 * Ro ；
6 、当 Ui > UREF 时，说明 I > I 过流， 比较器或微控制器动作，输出给场效应管 G 端电压， VGS < VTT ，场效应管关断，加热元件断电；
综上所述，由于本发明用于控制输出的场效应管（ MOSFET ）在导通时自身的内阻作为电流检测器件，用比较器或模数转换器（ ADC ）来识别出过流或短路，并进行关闭场效应管，进而使加热元件断电，本发明电路简单、成本低，有效地实现了对电子烟的过流或短路的保护。
因此，本发明不局限于所公开的具体实施例，而应当包括落入本发明权利要求范围内的全部实施方式。
