Abstract

A battery assembly for an electronic cigarette, configured to form an electronic cigarette in combination with an atomizing assembly, wherein the atomizing assembly is provided with a magnetic material containing information to be identified, and the battery assembly includes: a magnetic sensor arranged on the battery assembly and configured to obtain the information to be identified; and a microcontroller connected to the magnetic sensor, and configured to control a circuit between the battery assembly and the atomizing assembly to be switched on in a case that the microcontroller determines that the information to be identified matches a preset information, to enable the electronic cigarette to work normally.

Claims (21)

1. A battery assembly, applicable for coupling with an atomizing assembly to form an electronic cigarette, wherein the battery assembly comprises:

a magnetic sensor arranged on the battery assembly and configured to obtain information to be identified contained in a magnetic material of the atomizing assembly; and

a microcontroller connected to the magnetic sensor, and configured to control a circuit between the battery assembly and the atomizing assembly to be switched on in a case that the microcontroller determines that the information to be identified matches a preset information, to enable the electronic cigarette to work normally; and

wherein the battery assembly comprises a lower electrode assembly configured to be electrically connected with the atomizing assembly, and the lower electrode assembly comprises an inner electrode which is sleevedly engaged to an outer electrode, the inner electrode is mounted in the battery assembly via an insulating ring, and the magnetic sensor is mounted on an end surface of the inner electrode of the battery assembly.

2. The battery assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic sensor is a magnetic head and/or a Hall sensor.

3. The battery assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a power supply management circuit, arranged between a battery and a magnetic information identification circuit in the battery assembly and configured to manage charging the battery via an external power supply.

4. The battery assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the battery assembly further comprises:

a notification device, electrically connected to a microprocessor and configured to show a matching result from the microprocessor, and the notification device is an alarm or an indicator light.

5. An atomizing assembly, applicable for coupling with a battery assembly to form an electronic cigarette, wherein the atomizing assembly is provided with a magnetic material containing information to be identified and configured to match the battery assembly; and

wherein the atomizing assembly comprises an upper electrode assembly configured to be electrically connected with the battery assembly, and the upper electrode assembly comprises an outer electrode and an inner electrode which are sleevedly engaged, and the magnetic material to be identified is arranged on the inner electrode.

6. The atomizing assembly for the electronic cigarette according to claim 5 , wherein the information to be identified of the magnetic material comprises a magnetic strength and a magnetic signal.

7. An electronic cigarette, comprising a battery assembly and an atomizing assembly, wherein the atomizing assembly is provided with a magnetic material containing information to be identified, and the battery assembly comprises:

a magnetic sensor arranged on the battery assembly and configured to obtain the information to be identified; and

a microcontroller connected to the magnetic sensor, and configured to control a circuit between the battery assembly and the atomizing assembly to be switched on in a case that the microcontroller determines that the information to be identified matches a preset information, to enable the electronic cigarette to work normally; and

wherein the atomizing assembly comprises an upper electrode assembly configured to be electrically connected with the battery assembly, and the upper electrode assembly comprises an outer electrode and an inner electrode which are sleevedly engaged, and the magnetic material to be identified is arranged on the inner electrode.

8. The electronic cigarette according to claim 7 , wherein the magnetic sensor is a magnetic head and/or a Hall sensor.

9. The electronic cigarette according to claim 7 , wherein the battery assembly further comprises a power supply management circuit, arranged between a battery and a magnetic information identification circuit in the battery assembly and configured to manage charging the battery via an external power supply.

10. The electronic cigarette according to claim 7 , wherein the battery assembly further comprises:

a notification device, electrically connected to a microprocessor and configured to show a matching result from the microprocessor, and the notification device is an alarm or an indicator light.

11. The electronic cigarette according to claim 7 , wherein the information to be identified of the magnetic material comprises a magnetic strength and a magnetic signal.
