Description

Electronic cigarette and signal transmitter

This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201320751993.7, entitled "E-cigarette and Signal Transmitter", filed on November 25, 2013, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of electronic cigarette technology, and more particularly to an electronic cigarette and a signal transmitter.

Background technique

E-cigarette is a kind of electronic product that is like smoke. The atomizer is used to evaporate the smoke inside the cartridge connected to it into an aerosol, so that the smoker can directly inhale it. It looks like smoking when it is seen, but the actual process does not produce smoke. Among them, the cartridges can be classified into various types according to the content of the components of the tobacco liquid.

The electronic cigarette includes a battery rod and an atomizer, and the output of the gas mist and the working state are controlled by a control circuit and an air flow sensor disposed inside the battery rod. When the smoker inhales, a high-speed airflow can be formed, and the airflow sensor generates a smoking signal after sensing the airflow, and the controller generates a switch command according to the detected smoking signal and sends the switch command to the switch component, and the atomizer is turned on by the switch component, wherein After the atomizer is turned on, the smoke liquid is pressurized by the ultra-micro atomizing pump and then enters the atomization chamber, and the heating wire is heated, so that the smoke liquid is evaporated by heat and atomized to form an aerosol for simulating the smoke. It can be seen that when a smoker smokes a cigarette, the atomizer is turned on once, that is, the number of cigarettes smoked by the smoker is equal to the number of times the atomizer is turned on.

In order to further reduce the harm of smoking to the body of the smoker, the smoker's family or friends are required to monitor the smoker's smoking volume. However, the existing electronic cigarette cannot be remotely controlled to achieve the monitor's smoker. Monitoring of smoking.

Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only It is a certain embodiment of the present invention, and other drawings can be obtained from those skilled in the art without any creative work.

FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic cigarette and a signal transmitter according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As described in the background art, although the electronic cigarette liquid contains no tar and other harmful components, it can reduce the health of smokers and non-smokers to a certain extent, but in order to further reduce the smoking to the body of the smoker. The injury needs to monitor the smoker's smoking volume. The monitor can monitor the smoker's smoking volume by monitoring the smoker's smoking number or monitoring the smoker's choice of less nicotine or less smoke. Types of cartridges are used to achieve this. However, existing e-cigarettes cannot be remotely controlled, allowing monitors to monitor the amount of smokers who smoke.

Based on this, the present invention provides an electronic cigarette to overcome the above problems existing in the prior art, including:

Connected to a signal receiver, decode the control command, and execute the decoded control command The main controller.

The present invention also provides a signal transmitter for generating a control command according to a preset time, a preset smoking port value or a type of a cartridge, and transmitting the control command to the electronic cigarette to control the use of the electronic cigarette The amount of smoke smoked by the smoker within the preset time.

The above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the aspects of the invention.

In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention, but the invention may be practiced in other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can do without departing from the scope of the invention. The invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

The present invention will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. When the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail, for the convenience of description, the cross-sectional view of the device structure will not be partially enlarged, and the schematic diagram is only an example, which should not be limited herein. The scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, the actual three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included in the actual production. An embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic cigarette. The schematic diagram of the structure is as shown in FIG. 1. The method includes: a signal receiver 11 and a main controller 12, and a signal receiver 11 for receiving a control command sent by the signal transmitter; The controller 12 is configured to decode the control instruction and control the amount of smoking by the smoker within a preset time by executing the decoded control instruction. The electronic cigarette further includes: a switch component and a counting timer, wherein the switch component is configured to turn the atomizer on or off according to a switch command generated by the main controller, and the counting and the timer are used to record the time when the atomizer is turned on within the preset time. And the number of times. After the monitor sends a control command to limit the number of smokers of the smoker through the signal transmitter, the signal receiver in the smoker's electronic cigarette receives the control command, and the main controller decodes the control command and performs decoding. The control command controls the number of generations of the switch command within the preset time to be no more than the preset smoking port value. The number of times the switch command is generated determines the number of times the atomizer is turned on, and the number of times the atomizer is turned on determines the smoker's smoking. The number of mouths, therefore, the number of generations of the switch command within the preset time limit is not greater than the preset number of smoking ports, and the number of smokers in the preset time can be controlled to be no more than the preset number of smoking ports, thereby realizing the monitoring of smokers smoking. The purpose of assisting smokers to quit smoking.

The process of controlling the number of generations of the switch command within the preset time period is not greater than the preset smoking port value: when the smoker uses the electronic cigarette to smoke, the airflow sensor generates the smoking signal after sensing the airflow, and the main controller detects the smoking signal. And generating a switch command according to the smoking signal, and controlling the switch component to be turned on by the switch command to turn on the atomizer, heat the heating wire in the atomizer, and atomize the smoke liquid to form an aerosol. When the count and timer in the main controller record the number of times the atomizer is turned on within the preset time is equal to the preset smoking port value, the main controller will not generate the switch command within the preset time. Before the time is reached, when the smoker uses the electronic cigarette, the atomizer can not be opened, thereby controlling the number of cigarettes smoked by the smoker within the preset time is not greater than the preset number of mouths, thereby controlling the smoker within the preset time. The amount of smoking. The preset time and the preset smoking mouth value may be set according to the specific situation of the smoker.

In addition, after the monitor selects a specific content or a specific taste of the cartridge according to the weather change or the physical condition of the smoker, the signal is received by the smoker's electronic cigarette after the preset controller of the type of the cartridge is sent by the signal transmitter. Receiving the control command, the main controller decodes the control command, and executes the decoded control command to select a preset type of cartridge.

In this embodiment, the main controller may be a microprocessor, and the switch component may be a MOS transistor (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor). Preferably, the main controller may be For the microprocessor of the MSP430F5529 model, the switch component can be a 3400 model MOS tube.
