It shall be understood that the embodiments described in detail herein only show components relevant to the present disclosure, instead of all components of the device. All other embodiments obtained by an ordinary skilled person in the art based on the embodiments in the present disclosure without making creative work shall fall within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0019] Terms "first", "second", and the like, in the present disclosure are used to distinguish various objects and are not used to describe a particular order. In addition, terms "includes", "has" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, a method, a system, a product, or an apparatus that includes a series of operations or units is not limited to the listed operations or units, but optionally includes operations or units that are not listed, or optionally includes other operations or units that are inherent to the process, the method, the product, or the apparatus.

[0020] The term "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, a structure, or a property described in an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Presence of the term at various sections in the specification does not necessarily mean one same embodiment or a separate or an alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. The skilled person in the art shall understand explicitly and implicitly that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, FIG. 1 is a structural schematic view of an aerosol generating device according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 2 is another structural schematic view of the aerosol generating device according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. A left half portion of FIG. 2 represents an overall schematic view of the aerosol generating device 10. A right half portion of FIG. 2 represents an explosive view of the aerosol generating device 10. The aerosol generating device 10 includes a body 11, a heating assembly 12, and a storage assembly 13 (not shown in FIG. 2). The body 11 and the heating assembly 12 are detachably connected. The body 11 and the storage assembly 13 are detachably connected.

[0022] In an embodiment, in detail, the body 11 includes a first body portion 11a and a second body portion 11b. The first body portion 11a is configured to receive a battery. The second body portion 11b is configured to receive a controller, a storage assembly, and so on. The second body portion 11b is configured to connect to the heating assembly 12. For example, the second body portion 11b is arranged with a first connection member, and the heating assembly 12 is arranged with a second connection member. The first connection member and the second connection member are configured to allow the second body portion 11b to be connected to the heating assembly 12. In an embodiment, the connection member may be a snap, a screw, or the like. In addition, the heating assembly 12 may be connected to the first body portion 11a through a bottom of the heating assembly 12.

[0023] In an embodiment, the aerosol generating device 10 further includes a first cover 14 and a second cover 15 that are detachably connected to the body 11. When the heating assembly 12 is fixedly connected to the body 11, the first cover 14 may cover the heating assembly 12 to protect the heating assembly 12. Further, the second cover 15 may cover the heating assembly 12 (or the first cover 14) and the second body portion 11b to protect the heating assembly 12 and the second body portion 11b.

[0024] In the present disclosure, the heating assembly 12 is detachably connected to the body 11. The storage assembly 13 stores a feature parameter. The feature parameter corresponds to one model of the heating assembly 12. The body 11 is configured to obtain the feature parameter from the storage assembly 13, and heat the heating assembly 12 based on the feature parameter, such that the heating assembly 12 is taken to heat the aerosol generating substrate to generate the aerosol.

[0025] Further, in detail, the body 11 includes a housing assembly and a controller received inside the housing assembly. The heating assembly 12 and the storage assembly 13 are detachably connected to the housing assembly. When the heating assembly 12 and the storage assembly 13 are connected to the housing assembly, the heating assembly 12 and the storage assembly 13 are electrically connected to the controller. The controller is configured to obtain the feature parameter from the storage assembly 13 and to heat the heating assembly 12 based on the feature parameter, allowing the heating assembly 12 to heat the aerosol generating substrate to generate the aerosol.

[0026] In an embodiment, the storage assembly 13 stores the feature parameter, and the feature parameter corresponds to one model of the heating assembly 12. Since the feature parameter is fixed, the heating assembly 12 matching with the feature parameter may be heated only based on the feature parameter. In this way, when a model of a connected heating assembly 12 does not match the model corresponding to the feature parameter, the connected heating assembly 12 may not heat the aerosol generating substrate properly, such that a taste of the aerosol to be inhaled may be unsatisfying. In this way, randomly changing the model of the heating assembly 12 may be avoided. When the user replaces the heating assembly 12, only the heating assembly 12 in a same model may be replaced.

[0027] In an embodiment, the feature parameter includes a parameter of a heating body in the heating assembly 12 and a heating parameter. The parameter of the heating body indicates correspondence between a resistance value of the heating body and a temperature of the heating body.

[0028] The parameter of the heating body may be formed based on various models of heating assemblies 12. Material of the heating body, a process of manufacturing the heating body, a device for manufacturing the heating body and other factors causes feature parameters (such as a temperature T - resistance R curve, an initial resistance value R0, a temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), and so on) of various models of heating bodies to be various. While manufacturing the product, the heating assembly 12 may be placed in a test device, and feature parameters of the various models of the heating assemblies 12 may be tested.

[0029] The heating parameter may be a "temperature-time variation curve", configured to determine that the heating body is heated in various extent as time passes. As shown in FIG. 3, a schematic view of a temperature-time variation curve according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0030] For example, the controller may control the temperature of the heating body based on a preset temperature-time curve and by applying a PID algorithm. The "temperature-time" curve refers to a heating curve of tobacco.

[0031] A specific scenario will be described in the following to illustrate the present embodiment.

[0032] When the user uses an electronic cigarette device for smoking, the body 11 may be connected to the heating assembly 12 firstly. For example, a switch button arranged on the body 11 may be switched on. In this way, the electronic cigarette device starts to operate.

[0033] The body 11 obtains the feature parameter in the storage component 13, obtains correspondence between the resistance value and the temperature of the heating body in the heating assembly 12, and starts timing. Subsequently, a current resistance value of the heating body may be obtained, and a current temperature may be obtained based on the parameter of the heating body. Finally, a voltage of the heating body may be controlled based on the "temperature-time" curve.

[0034] It shall be understood that, generally, in order to obtain a better taste by heating the aerosol generating substrate (such as tobacco), a temperature required to heat the aerosol generating substrate may be variable in various time periods. In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a horizontal axis indicates the time, and a vertical axis indicates the temperature.

[0035] In a time period TO-T1, the heating body may be heated, and a temperature of the heating body rises from a room temperature W0 to a temperature W1.

[0036] In a time period T1-T2, the temperature of the heating body remains at the temperature W1.

[0037] In a time period T2-T3, the temperature of the heating body may be reduced, and the temperature of the heating body decreases from the temperature W1 to a temperature W2.

[0038] In a time period T3-T4, the temperature of the heating body remains at the temperature W2.

[0039] After the time point T4, the temperature of the heating body is reduced, and the temperature of the heating body decreases from the temperature W2 to the room temperature.

[0040] In an embodiment, a value of the T1 may be 5s to 10s, a value of the T2 may be 12s to 18s, a value of the W1 may be 320°C to 360°C, and a value of the W2 may be 300°C to 340°C.

[0041] In an embodiment, T1=7s, T2=15s, W1=340°C, and W2=320°C. In this case, when the temperature of the heating body decreases by 1°C, the resistance of the heating body decreases by 2.28mQ accordingly. Therefore, when the temperature of the heating body decreases from the temperature W1 to the temperature W2, i.e., decreases by 20°C, the resistance value of the heating body needs to be decreased by 202.28mΩ.

[0042] Further, while taking electrical energy to control the temperature for heating the heating body, a pulse frequency and/or a pulse amplitude and/or a duty cycle of the electrical energy supplied to the heating body may be variable to control the temperature of the heating body. In this way, the aerosol generating device may be controlled to release an aerosol having a better taste. As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a schematic view of a pulse voltage according to the present disclosure. For example, in a time period t1, an enable switch may be switched on, and the battery may provide electrical energy to the heating body. In a time period t2, an enable switch may be switched off, and the battery may not provide electrical energy to the heating body. Therefore, a percentage of the time period t1 over the time period T may be adjusted to further adjust the temperature of the heating body. In detail, when the duty cycle of the time period t1 is increased, the temperature of the heating body may be increased, and when the duty cycle of the time period t1 is decreased, the temperature of the heating body may be decreased.

[0043] In another embodiment, the storage assembly 13 stores the feature parameter and an anti-counterfeiting parameter. The feature parameter and the anti-counterfeiting parameter correspond to one model of heating assembly 12. When the body 11 is connected to one heating assembly 12 and one storage assembly 13, the body 11 may obtain a first anti-counterfeiting parameter from the heating assembly 12 and obtain a second anti-counterfeiting parameter and the feature parameter from the storage assembly 13. The controller determines whether the first anti-counterfeiting parameter and the second anti-counterfeiting parameter are valid, whether the first anti-counterfeiting parameter and the second anti-counterfeiting parameter refer to a same model. When the first anti-counterfeiting parameter and the second anti-counterfeiting parameter are determined to be valid, and when the first anti-counterfeiting parameter and the second anti-counterfeiting parameter are determined as referring to the same model, the heating assembly 12 may be heated by taking the feature parameter.

[0044] Practically, the body 11, the heating assembly 12 and the storage assembly 13 may be sold as a whole, or one or two of the main body 11, the heating assembly 12 and the storage assembly 13 may be sold in combination. In this way, the user may replace any of the components easily. For example, when the user purchases the device for a first time, the user purchases the body 11, the heating assembly 12 and the storage assembly 13 at the same time (correspondence between the model of the heating assembly 12 and the model of the storage assembly 13 needs to be aware). While using, when the heating assembly 12 is worn out and needs to be replaced, a heating assembly 12 in a model same as the previous model may be purchased only. To be noted that, when the user purchases a heating component 12 with a model different from the previous one, the heating component 12 may not operate properly since the feature parameter stored in the storage assembly 13 remains unchanged.

[0045] In addition, since the model of the heating assembly 12 must correspond to the model indicated by the storage assembly 13, the heating assembly 12 and the storage assembly 13 may be sold in combination with each other. For example, when purchasing the heating component 12, an adapted storage assembly 13 (such as a memory card) may be included, ensuring the aerosol generating device to be used normally.

[0046] In an embodiment, the memory card may be a SIM card, a secure digital memory card (SD card), a multimedia card (MMC card), a nano memory card (NM card), and the like.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a structural schematic view of the body and the memory card according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The body 11 defines a tray receiving cavity 11c and includes a card tray 11d. The card tray 11d may be received in the tray receiving cavity 11c. The card tray 11d may be configured to hold a memory card. When the card tray 11d is received in the tray receiving cavity 11c, the memory card is electrically connected to the controller inside the body 11.

[0048] According to the present disclosure, the aerosol generating device includes: a body; a heating assembly, detachably connected to the body; and a storage assembly, detachably connected to the body. The storage assembly stores a feature parameter, and the feature parameter corresponds to one model of the heating assembly. The body is configured to obtain the feature parameter from the storage assembly and to heat the heating assembly based on the feature parameter, allowing the heating assembly to heat the aerosol generating substrate to generate the aerosol. In this way, both the heating assembly and the storage assembly are configured as detachable assemblies, and the feature parameter stored in the storage assembly may be in one-to-one correspondence with the heating assembly. On the one hand, components of the aerosol generating device may be replaced easily, and the usage cost may be reduced. On the other hand, while replacing components of the device, counterfeit or poor quality components may be avoided, such that usage experience may not be affected.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a structural schematic view of an aerosol generating device according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0051] In an embodiment, the first short-range communication module 131 and the second short-range communication module 112 may be any one of a WIFI communication module, a Bluetooth communication module, or a near-field communication (NFC) module.

[0052] In an embodiment, the storage component 13 further stores anti-counterfeiting data. The feature parameter and the anti-counterfeiting data form a data packet by setting an encryption algorithm. The controller 111 is further configured to decrypt the data packet by a corresponding decryption algorithm to obtain the feature parameter and the anti-counterfeiting data, and configured to verify the anti-counterfeiting data.

[0053] For example, a built-in encryption unit may be configured in the storage assembly 13, and the controller 111 of the body 11 may be arranged with a corresponding decryption unit. When the storage assembly 13 is successfully connected to the body 11, the encryption unit firstly encrypts the "anti-counterfeiting data" and transmits the encrypted data to the controller 111 of the body 11. When the controller 111 of the body 11 decrypts the data and determines the data to be consistent, the storage assembly 13 transmits the feature parameter to the controller 111.
