Abstract
This flavor inhaler is provided with: a plurality of generation units for generating a component to be inhaled from a source of the component to be inhaled using power supplied from a battery; and a control unit for controlling the amount of power supplied to the plurality of generation units. The plurality of generation units are disposed on an air path that connects an inlet to an outlet. The control unit calculates D1 on the basis of VA and VC and controls the amount of power on the basis of D1.
Claims16
A flavor inhaler comprising:
- a battery that accumulates a power;
- a first generator that generates a first inhalation component from a first inhalation component source by the power supplied from the battery;
- a second generator that generates a second inhalation component from a second inhalation component source by the power supplied from the battery;
- and
- a controller that controls a power amount to be supplied to the first generator and the second generator,
- wherein the first generator and the second generator are provided on an air passage communicating from an inlet to an outlet,
- wherein the first generator and the second generator are electrically connected in parallel or in series,
- wherein the controller calculates a correction term of the power amount to be supplied to the first generator and the second generator (D1) based on an output voltage value of the battery (Va) and a predetermined reference voltage value (VC),
- wherein the output voltage value is measured when the power is supplied to the first generator and the second generator during a time from detecting the start of the puff action until at least one of the first generator and the second generator is substantially driven, and
- wherein the controller controls the power amount based on the correction term of the power amount.
