AEROSOL GENERATING DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18604912 titled 'AEROSOL GENERATING DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF
The abstract describes an aerosol generating device with a heater and a controller that manages power to the heater. The controller calculates the power used by the heater during a specific time period and adjusts the heating operation based on preset power thresholds.
- The device includes a heater that warms an aerosol generating material.
- A controller regulates the power supplied to the heater.
- The controller calculates the power consumption of the heater over a set time period.
- The heating operation of the heater is controlled based on predefined power levels.
- The device aims to optimize power usage and efficiency in generating aerosols.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in electronic cigarettes or vaping devices. - It can also be applied in air fresheners or fragrance dispensers. - Industrial applications such as spray painting or disinfectant sprayers could benefit from this innovation.
Problems Solved: - Efficient control of power consumption in aerosol generating devices. - Ensuring consistent aerosol production without wastage of power. - Enhancing the overall performance and longevity of the device.
Benefits: - Improved energy efficiency. - Enhanced control over aerosol production. - Extended lifespan of the device. - Consistent and reliable performance.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Efficient Power Control in Aerosol Generating Devices" This technology can be utilized in various consumer products such as e-cigarettes, air fresheners, and industrial sprayers. The efficient power management can lead to cost savings and improved performance, making it attractive for manufacturers in these sectors.
Questions about Aerosol Generating Devices: 1. How does the controller determine the optimal power levels for the heater? The controller calculates the power consumption of the heater over a specific time period and adjusts the heating operation based on preset power thresholds.
2. What are the potential benefits of using this technology in industrial applications? Using this technology in industrial applications can lead to improved efficiency, reduced energy costs, and enhanced control over aerosol production processes.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed is an aerosol generating device including a heater that heats an aerosol generating material and a controller that controls power to be supplied to the heater. The controller calculates a first power amount indicating a power amount used by the heater during a preset first time period after a heating operation of the heater is started, and controls the heating operation of the heater based on whether the first power amount is greater than or equal to a preset reference power amount.
