AEROSOL GENERATING DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, CONTROL DEVICE AND READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

The present disclosure relates to an aerosol-generating apparatus, a control method, a control device and a readable storage medium. The aerosol-generating apparatus includes an atomization cavity configured to accommodate an aerosol-forming substrate and a microwave assembly configured to feed microwaves into the atomization cavity. The control method includes: controlling the microwave assembly to sweep in a microwave frequency range and search for a target microwave frequency in the microwave frequency range; determining a presence state of the aerosol-forming substrate in the atomization cavity according to a numerical relationship between the target microwave frequency and a set frequency range; and controlling a running state of the microwave assembly according to the presence state of the aerosol-forming substrate. In the present disclosure, the target microwave frequency in the current state of the atomization cavity is determined through the sweep operation of the microwave assembly, so as to detect whether the aerosol-forming substrate is present in the atomization cavity, thereby avoiding feeding the microwave into the atomization cavity in the empty state, and thus prolonging the service life of the aerosol-generating apparatus.
