  • Publication number: 20230165314
    Abstract: Disclosed are an aerosol generation apparatus and a control method therefor, which relate to the technical field of smoking sets. The method includes: detecting whether a user smokes according to a real-time voltage value and a preset voltage threshold of a heater; and when it is detected that the user smokes, calculating smoking duration when the real-time voltage value is greater than or equal to the preset voltage threshold. Whether the user smokes is detected by means of the real-time voltage value and the preset voltage threshold of the heater, and then the smoking duration is calculated. On one hand, smoking of the user is detected without using a flow sensor and a temperature sensor, which reduces the cost; and on the other hand, the size of a printed circuit board is reduced, which facilitates product miniaturization.
