In addition, according to the control method of the aerosol generating device in the technical scheme provided by the application, the control method can also have the following additional technical characteristics:
in the above technical scheme, aerosol generating assembly includes the heating element, and according to the second laser signal, control aerosol generating assembly operation includes: determining the residual state of an aerosol generating substrate in the aerosol generating assembly according to the second laser signal and the first preset corresponding relation;
controlling the aerosol generating assembly to start to operate when the residual state of the aerosol generating substrate is in a first preset state;
And adjusting the operating power of the heating element according to the second laser signal.
In the technical scheme, a second laser signal and a first preset corresponding relation are stored in the aerosol generating device, and the first preset corresponding relation is a corresponding relation between the residual state of the aerosol generating substrate and the waveform of the second laser signal. After the laser receiving device receives the second laser signal, the aerosol generating device can determine the residual state of the aerosol generating substrate according to the waveform of the second laser signal and the first preset corresponding relation. And controlling the operation of the aerosol generating component to atomize the aerosol generating substrate when the residual state is in a first preset state, namely the residual amount of the aerosol generating substrate is sufficient.

After the waveform of the second laser signal is obtained, the current aerosol generating substrate can be determined to be in a sufficient state or an insufficient state according to the first preset corresponding relation.

It is worth to say that the body in the aerosol generating device is detachably connected with the aerosol generating component, and the aerosol generating device can detect the in-place state of the aerosol generating component. In the in-place state of the aerosol-generating assembly, it is necessary to detect whether the residual amount of the aerosol-generating substrate is sufficient, and if the residual amount of the aerosol-generating substrate is insufficient, the heating of the aerosol-generating substrate is started, the aerosol-generating assembly may be dry-burned.
According to the application, before the heating element in the aerosol generating assembly is controlled to heat the aerosol generating substrate, whether the aerosol generating substrate is sufficient can be determined according to the waveform of the second laser signal and the first preset corresponding relation. Dry heating caused by the operation of the heating element under the condition of insufficient aerosol generating substrate is avoided.

and in the state of the aerosol-generating assembly in place in a second preset state, performing the step of determining a state of balance of the aerosol-generating substrate in the aerosol-generating assembly from the second laser signal.
In this solution, the in-place state of the aerosol-generating component needs to be detected before the residual state of the aerosol-generating substrate is detected. The second preset corresponding relation is a corresponding relation between the waveform of the second laser signal and the in-place state of the aerosol generating assembly.
Specifically, according to the waveform of the second laser signal and the second preset correspondence, it can be determined whether the current aerosol generating assembly is mounted in place. And when the aerosol generating component is detected to be installed in place, determining that the aerosol generating component is in an in-place state, namely, continuously detecting the residual state of the aerosol generating substrate when the in-place state of the aerosol generating component is in a second preset state. And outputting prompt information when the aerosol generating component is detected not to be installed in place.
The application can also detect the in-place state of the aerosol generating component through the waveform of the second laser signal, and avoid the fault caused by that the aerosol generating component is not installed in place and electrified. Because whether the aerosol generating substrate is sufficient or not can be detected through the second laser signal, whether the aerosol generating component is installed in place or not can also be detected, and the installation state of the aerosol generating component is detected without arranging an additional detection device, so that the structure of the aerosol generating device is simplified.
In any of the above technical solutions, adjusting the operating power of the heating element according to the second laser signal includes: and determining the fog state in the aerosol generating assembly according to the second laser signal and the third preset corresponding relation.
The third preset corresponding relation is the corresponding relation between the waveform of the second laser signal and the fog state;
and adjusting the operating power of the heating element according to the fog state.
In this solution, in controlling the operation of the heating element in the aerosol-generating assembly, it is necessary to detect the mist condition in the aerosol-generating assembly. The fog state can accurately reflect the current operation state of the aerosol generating assembly.
Specifically, the third preset corresponding relation includes waveforms of the second laser signals, which are different, and corresponds to different fog states. And determining the fog state in the air outlet channel of the aerosol generating assembly according to the waveform of the second laser signal and a third preset corresponding relation. The operation of the heating element is accurately controlled according to the detected gas concentration, so that the problem of dry burning of the aerosol generating component is avoided while the normal fog state is ensured.
Exemplary fog conditions include normal fog conditions, mist conditions, and no fog conditions. The three fog states respectively correspond to different waveforms of the second laser signal.
According to the application, when the aerosol generating assembly is in the running state, the running power of the heating element is adjusted according to the acquired waveform of the second laser signal, so that the normal fog state of the aerosol generating assembly is ensured, and the problem of dry burning of the aerosol generating assembly can be avoided.
In the above technical scheme, according to the fog state, the operation power of adjusting the heating element includes:
controlling the heating element to reduce the running power to run when the fog state is in a third preset state;
controlling the heating element to keep running power to run when the fog state is in a fourth preset state;
and controlling the heating element to stop running when the fog state is in a fifth preset state.
In the technical scheme, the fog state in the current aerosol generating assembly can be found according to the waveform of the second laser signal.
Specifically, the third preset state is a mist state, namely, the atomized gas in the gas outlet channel is less, then the fact that the aerosol generating substrate in the current atomized cavity is less is judged, if the aerosol generating module is continuously operated at higher power, the aerosol generating module is dry-burned, and at the moment, the heating element is controlled to operate at lower power, so that the dry-burned aerosol generating module can be avoided. And the fourth preset state is a normal fog state, namely the atomized gas in the gas outlet channel is normal, the stock of the aerosol generating matrix in the current atomizing cavity is judged to be normal, the atomizing effect is good, and the current running power is kept. And the fifth preset state is in a non-fog state, namely, the fog gas is hardly existed in the air outlet channel, and the fact that the aerosol generating substrate in the current fog chamber is too little is judged, and even if the running power is reduced, the problem of dry heating exists, so that the heating part is controlled to stop heating.
According to the application, the fog state in the aerosol generating assembly is detected, the heating power of the heating element is adjusted accordingly, and the operation can be automatically stopped when the content of aerosol is small, so that the dry burning phenomenon of the aerosol generating device is avoided, the intelligent function of the aerosol generating device is improved, and the use experience of a user is optimized.
In the above technical solution, after controlling the heating element to operate at the reduced operating power, the method further includes: and controlling the operation power of the heating element to be restored to the operation power before reduction under the condition that the fog state is in a fourth preset state.
In the technical scheme, after the heating element is controlled to run at the reduced running power, the fog state in the aerosol generating assembly is continuously detected, the third preset state is detected in the fog state, the third preset state is changed into the fourth atomization state, and the running power of the heating element is controlled to be restored to the running power before the reduction. That is, after the running power is reduced, the mist state is detected to be changed from the mist state to the normal mist state, and then the power recovery of the heating element is controlled.
Specifically, when the mist state is detected to be in the mist state, it is determined that the aerosol-generating substrate in the current atomizing chamber is less. There are situations where less aerosol-generating substrate is present within the nebulization chamber due to the slower rate of movement of the aerosol-generating substrate from the reservoir chamber to the nebulization chamber. According to the situation, after the running power of the heating element is reduced, the fog state is continuously detected, when the fog state is detected to be recovered to the normal fog state, namely, the fog state is in a fourth preset state, the aerosol generating substrate in the current atomizing cavity is judged to be recovered to be normal, the heating element is controlled to be recovered to the original running power for heating, and the atomization efficiency of the aerosol generating assembly to the aerosol is ensured.
According to the application, the fog state is continuously detected after the operation power of the heating element is regulated, and the operation power of the heating element is continuously regulated accordingly, so that the atomization efficiency of the aerosol generating component on the aerosol generating substrate is ensured while the dry burning of the aerosol generating component is avoided.

The aerosol generating device locally stores the corresponding relation between the waveform of the second laser signal and different states of the aerosol generating assembly, and can determine the state of the aerosol generating assembly according to the received waveform of the second laser signal and control the operation of the aerosol generating assembly according to the state.
Specifically, the aerosol generating device can determine one or a combination of the following from the waveform of the received second laser signal: an in-place condition of the aerosol-generating assembly, a residual condition of the aerosol-generating substrate in the aerosol-generating assembly, a mist condition in the aerosol-generating assembly.

In the embodiment, when the aerosol generating assembly is in the running state, the running power of the heating element is adjusted according to the acquired waveform of the second laser signal, so that the situation that the aerosol generating assembly is in the normal mist state is ensured, and the problem that the aerosol generating assembly is dry-burned can be avoided.

and controlling the heating element to stop running when the fog state is in a fifth preset state.
In this embodiment, the mist state in the current aerosol generating assembly can be found from the waveform of the second laser signal.
Specifically, the third preset state is a mist state, namely, the atomized gas in the gas outlet channel is less, then the fact that the aerosol generating substrate in the current atomized cavity is less is judged, if the aerosol generating module is continuously operated at higher power, the aerosol generating module is dry-burned, and at the moment, the heating element is controlled to operate at lower power, so that the dry-burned aerosol generating module can be avoided. And the fourth preset state is a normal fog state, namely the atomized gas in the gas outlet channel is normal, the stock of the aerosol generating matrix in the current atomizing cavity is judged to be normal, the atomizing effect is good, and the current running power is kept. And the fifth preset state is in a non-fog state, namely, the fog gas is hardly existed in the air outlet channel, and the fact that the aerosol generating substrate in the current fog chamber is too little is judged, and even if the running power is reduced, the problem of dry heating exists, so that the heating part is controlled to stop heating.
In this embodiment, through detecting the fog state in the aerosol generating assembly to adjust the heating power of heating piece according to this, and can the automatic stop work when aerosol content is less, avoid aerosol generating device to appear dry combustion method phenomenon, improved aerosol generating device's intelligent function, in optimizing user's use experience.

That is, after the running power is reduced, the mist state is detected to be changed from the mist state to the normal mist state, and then the power recovery of the heating element is controlled.
Specifically, when the mist state is detected to be in the mist state, it is determined that the aerosol-generating substrate in the current atomizing chamber is less. There are situations where less aerosol-generating substrate is present within the nebulization chamber due to the slower rate of movement of the aerosol-generating substrate from the reservoir chamber to the nebulization chamber. According to the situation, after the running power of the heating element is reduced, the fog state is continuously detected, when the fog state is detected to be recovered to the normal fog state, namely, the fog state is in a fourth preset state, the aerosol generating substrate in the current atomizing cavity is judged to be recovered to be normal, the heating element is controlled to be recovered to the original running power for heating, and the atomization efficiency of the aerosol generating assembly to the aerosol is ensured.
According to the embodiment, the fog state is continuously detected after the operation power of the heating element is adjusted, and the operation power of the heating element is continuously adjusted according to the detection result, so that the atomization efficiency of the aerosol generating component on the aerosol generating substrate is ensured while the dry burning of the aerosol generating component is avoided.
