Description

Ignition gun and ignition control method

Technical field

The invention relates to an ignition gun, and in particular to an ignition gun with a safety protection device.

Background technique

Traditional ignition guns are not equipped with effective safety devices, so if users operate them improperly, there will be huge safety hazards, especially for children. Fires and casualties caused by children playing with lighters occur all over the world every year. In the European Union alone, about 40 children die every year due to fires caused by improper use of lighters or lighters. In order to prevent personal and property losses caused by the accidental use of ignition guns by children or mentally retarded people and ensure the safety of consumers, developed countries such as the United States, Canada, the European Union, Australia, New Zealand and Japan have issued corresponding regulations for this purpose, requiring entry. Ordinary ignition guns in this country must be equipped with a child-resistant device. Currently, more countries are enacting relevant legislation in this area. For example, the United States introduced CPSC regulations (Consumer Products Safety Commission) in 1994, Canada introduced Health Canada regulations in 2007, the European Union introduced CR regulations (Child Resistant) in 2006, and Japan introduced PSC regulations (Product Safety Commission) in 2011.

Figure 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of a typical existing ignition gun 100. As shown in Figure 1, the existing ignition gun 100 usually includes a gun body 1 and an air outlet pipe 2. The gun body 1 houses an air box 3. The air box 3 is connected to the air outlet pipe 2 through a jumper 4. An ignition port 5 is provided at the head of the exhaust pipe. The ignition port 5 is adjacent to the spark generating end of the piezoelectric voltage generating device 8. When the piezoelectric voltage generating device 8 is pressed, the spark generating end emits sparks, thereby igniting the gas. The gun body 1 is also connected to an electronic clip 6 and a first safety switch 7. When the first safety switch 7 is in the off position, the electronic clip 6 cannot operate, and when the first safety switch 7 is in the on position, the electronic clip 6 6 can be opened and closed to achieve ignition. When working, first turn on the safety switch 7, and then press the electronic clip 6. The electronic clip 6 drives the jumper 4 to move, thereby turning on the gas box 3, so that the gas in the gas box 3 enters the gas outlet pipe 2. At the same time, the ignition port 5 emits electric sparks to ignite the gas.

For the above-mentioned traditional ignition gun, the ignition gun safety protection device is only a safety switch, which cannot effectively prevent children or disabled people from misoperation, and there are potential safety hazards.

Detailed ways

The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the purpose, features and advantages of the present invention can be more clearly understood. It should be understood that the embodiments shown in the drawings do not limit the scope of the present invention, but are only used to illustrate the essential spirit of the technical solution of the present invention.

Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the ignition gun 101 with a safety protection device of the present invention. The main principle of realizing the anti-child safety protection function of the ignition gun of the present invention is to use a split safety protection device, that is, another external device other than the ignition gun is used to trigger the operation of the ignition gun, thereby achieving safety protection. In other words, ignition cannot be achieved before the ignition gun receives instructions or signals from the external device. Only after the igniter itself sends a request signal and receives a response signal from the external device can the ignition gun be triggered to achieve ignition. , thereby realizing the security protection function.

Here, the external device may be a mobile terminal having a wireless transceiver device capable of receiving the wireless request signal and sending the wireless response signal according to the wireless request signal. Preferably, the mobile terminal is a smartphone, tablet or wearable device. Wearable devices are, for example, smart watches, smart glasses, or smart bracelets.

As shown in Figure 2, the ignition gun 101 includes a gun body 1 and an air outlet pipe 2. The gun body 1 contains a gas box 3, and the gas box 3 is used to store gas as an energy supply. The gas contained in the gas box is, for example, butane, natural gas, or alkanes. The air box 3 is connected to the air outlet pipe 2 through a jumper 4. An ignition port 5 is provided at the end of the exhaust pipe 2 . The ignition port 5 is adjacent to the spark generating end of the piezoelectric voltage generating device 8. When the piezoelectric voltage generating device 8 is pressed, the spark generating end emits sparks, thereby igniting the gas.

The gun body 1 is also connected to an electronic clip 6 and a safety switch 7 (which can be called the second safety switch). When the safety switch 7 is in the off position, the electronic clip 6 cannot move, and when the safety switch 7 is in the on position , the electronic clip 6 can move to achieve opening and closing. The safety switch 7 and the electronic clip 6 can adopt any suitable structure known in the art to achieve the above functions.

A piezoelectric voltage generating device 8 and a gas opening mechanism 9 are also provided between the jumping rod 4 and the electronic clip 6 . The electronic clamp 6 is connected to the piezoelectric voltage generating device 8 , and the piezoelectric voltage generating device 8 is connected to the gas opening mechanism 9 , and the gas opening mechanism 9 is connected to the jumping rod 4. The action acting on the electronic clip 6 can drive the piezoelectric voltage generating device 8 to move, thereby driving the gas opening mechanism 9 to move. The gas opening mechanism 9 drives the jumper 4 to move, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the gas box 3.

The piezoelectric voltage generating device 8 can generate a voltage up to 3000V, and is mainly used to generate electric sparks to ignite gas. The piezoelectric voltage generating device 8 may adopt any suitable component known in the art or to be developed.

The gas opening mechanism 9 is mainly used to connect the gas box before the piezoelectric voltage generating device 8 generates sparks, so that the gas in the gas box flows into the gas outlet pipe first. The gas opening mechanism 9 may adopt any suitable mechanism known in the art or to be developed.

In a modified example, the gas opening mechanism 9 may not be provided, but the piezoelectric voltage generating device directly drives the jumping rod to move, thereby connecting the gas box.

The air outlet pipe 2 is divided into a first section of the air outlet pipe 21 and a second section of the air outlet pipe 22 . The first section of the air outlet pipe 21 is connected to the jumping pole 4 , and the second section of the air outlet pipe 22 is connected to the ignition port 5 . A safety switch 13 (which can be called the first safety switch 13) is provided between the first section of the air outlet pipe 21 and the second section of the air outlet pipe 22. Under the control of the control circuit, the safety switch 13 can be turned on or off, thereby shutting down the air outlet. Turn off or on the gas. The safety switch 13 may be composed of any suitable component such as a solenoid valve.

It should be understood that the air outlet pipe 2 can also be a separate pipe. The safety switch 13 is arranged at the entrance of the air outlet pipe 2 or in the jumping pole.

The control circuit is associated with the safety switch 7 so that when the safety switch 7 is switched on, the control circuit operates. The control circuit includes a wireless transceiver module 11 and a control chip 10 . The wireless transceiver module 11 is electrically connected to the control chip 10 . The control chip 10 is electrically connected to the safety switch 13 . When the safety switch 7 is turned on, the control chip 10 sends a wireless request signal to the external device via the wireless transceiver module 11, and then receives a wireless response signal from the external device via the wireless transceiver module 11, and determines whether or not based on the wireless response signal. Trigger safety switch 13. If the wireless response signal is an ignition permission signal, the control chip 10 sends a command to control the safety switch 13 to turn on. If the wireless response signal is an ignition disallowed signal or the control chip 10 does not receive the wireless response signal, the control chip 10 sends a command to control the safety switch 13 to turn off or does not send a command and keeps the safety switch 13 in the off state.

Here, the control chip 10 is used as a trigger module for triggering the safety switch 13 . The control chip 10 may be any suitable existing or to-be-developed integrated circuit or electronic device. Here, the trigger module, the wireless transceiver module and the safety switch 13 together constitute the child-proof safety device of the ignition gun.

In one embodiment, the safety switch 13 may be a solenoid valve connected in series to the air outlet pipe. In another embodiment, the safety switch 13 can also be a control circuit board, which can control the piezoelectric voltage generating device to power on or off according to instructions from the control chip 10 .

In one embodiment, safety control can be achieved by controlling the jump pole. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the safety switch 13 of the ignition gun is a jump bar assembly, which includes a jump bar 4' and an electromagnetic controller 15. The electromagnetic controller 15 is connected to the jumping bar 4' and used to control the movement of the jumping bar 4'. The jumping rod 4′ is retractable under the control of the electromagnetic controller 15. When the electromagnetic controller 15 receives the ignition command from the control chip 10, the electromagnetic controller drives the jumper 4' to extend directly below the electronic clip 8. At this time, pressing the electronic clip can drive the jump rod 4' to move, thereby opening the air outlet 14 of the air box to achieve ignition. When the electromagnetic controller 15 does not receive the ignition command from the control chip 10, the jumper 4′ retracts to (or remains at) a certain distance directly below the electronic clip 8. At this time, even if the electronic clip is pressed, because the electronic clip cannot contact the jump bar 4', the electronic clip cannot drive the jump bar 4' to move, thereby preventing mis-ignition.

The principle of the embodiment shown in Figures 4 and 5 is to control the jumping bar so that the jumping bar can be switched between a first position and a second position. When there is no ignition command, the jumper is in the first position and the electronic clip cannot contact the jumper, thus preventing ignition. When receiving the ignition command, the jump lever is in the second position, and ignition can be achieved at this time. It should be understood that under the above principles, any suitable solution including the above solution can be used for implementation.

In one embodiment, the ignition gun may also include a data acquisition module 16 and a memory 17, as shown in Figure 3. The data acquisition module 16 is communicatively connected with the control chip 10 and is used to collect and record ignition data, such as the number of ignitions, the ignition location and the ignition time. The memory 17 is communicatively connected to the data acquisition module 16 and is used to store ignition data. Users can use this data to know where people gather for barbecues, share barbecue locations, control fire warnings at barbecue locations, etc. Here, the data acquisition module 16 is a module capable of acquiring data from relevant signals, and it may adopt any suitable module known in the art or to be developed. Preferably, the data collection module 16 is associated with the electronic clip 6 to collect data related to the action of the electronic clip to be used as ignition data.

These ignition data can be transferred to an external device via wired means such as a USB interface. The data collection module 16 can also be electrically connected to the wireless transceiver module, so that the ignition data can be transmitted to external devices or networks through the wireless transceiver device.

Here, the wireless transceiver module 11 includes a Bluetooth transceiver, Wifi, Zegbee, Lifi or infrared transceiver device, etc.

In this article, the ignition gun 101 may also be provided with a battery 12, a charging port, a USB interface, a power indicator light and a gas volume adjustment switch, where the battery 12 is accommodated in the gun body and used to power the control circuit. The charging port is provided on the gun body and is used to charge the battery. The power indicator light is set on the gun body and is used to indicate the battery power. The air volume adjustment switch is used to adjust the air output from the air box, thereby controlling the flame.

During operation, the safety switch 7 is first turned on, the control chip 10 is powered on and sends the wireless request signal to the external device via the wireless transceiver module 11, and then receives the wireless response signal from the external device via the wireless transceiver module 11, and based on the wireless response signal to determine whether to trigger the safety switch 13 action. If the wireless response signal is an ignition permission signal, the control chip 10 sends a command to control the safety switch 13 to turn on. At this time, when the electronic clip 6 is pressed, the electronic clip 6 drives the jumping rod 4 to move through the piezoelectric voltage generating device 8 and the gas opening mechanism 9, thereby transporting gas from the gas box 3 to the gas outlet pipe 2. At the same time, the piezoelectric voltage generating device 8 works to generate sparks to achieve ignition. If the wireless response signal is an ignition disallowed signal or the control chip 10 does not receive the wireless response signal, the control chip 10 sends a command to control the safety switch 13 to turn off or does not send a command and keeps the safety switch 13 in the off state. At this time, even if the electronic clip 6 is pressed, ignition cannot be achieved.

As used herein, ignition guns include various types of ignition guns used to light cigarettes, pipes, barbecue grills, fireplaces, etc.

In a modified example, the ignition gun may not be provided with the safety switch 7 but only be provided with the safety switch 13 . At this time, when the ignition gun is working, after the wireless transceiver module (such as Bluetooth) detects and communicates with the external device, and receives instructions from the external device, ignition can be achieved by pressing the electronic clip. When the wireless transceiver module (such as Bluetooth) does not detect or communicate with the external device, ignition cannot be achieved even if the electronic clip is pressed.

Figure 6 shows a control flow chart of an embodiment of the ignition control method of the ignition gun according to the present invention. The ignition control method of the ignition gun of the present invention includes step S1: determine whether the ignition gun is connected to the external device through communication. If the ignition gun is not connected to the external device, prohibit the ignition of the ignition gun. When communicating with an external device, the ignition gun ignites directly or the ignition gun determines whether to allow ignition according to instructions from the external device. In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 6, the ignition control method may include the following steps:

S11. Make the ignition gun send a wireless request signal to an external device;

S12. The external device receives the wireless request signal and sends a wireless response signal;

S13. The ignition gun receives the wireless response signal; and

S14. The ignition gun determines whether the received wireless response signal is an ignition permission signal. If it is an ignition permission signal, turn on the first safety switch to achieve ignition; if it is not a permission signal, ignition is prohibited.

Steps S11 and S12 may be implemented, for example, by pressing an electronic clip so that the ignition gun communicates with an external device. Alternatively, when a safety switch 7 is provided, the ignition gun can communicate directly with the external device after the safety switch 7 is turned on, or the ignition gun can communicate with the external device by pressing the electronics after the safety switch 7 is turned on. communication.

In step S13, after the ignition gun receives the wireless response signal from the external device, it first determines whether it is a signal that allows ignition. If so, ignition is implemented; if not, ignition cannot be achieved.

In a variant, the ignition gun may be configured to enable ignition upon detection of a matching external device. And if no matching external device is detected, ignition cannot be achieved.

Specifically, the ignition control of the ignition gun can include the following three situations:

Scenario 1: First connection, the external device turns on the APP and Bluetooth status, presses the electronic clip of the ignition gun (when safety switch 7 is set, safety switch 7 is already turned on at this time; it is also possible to turn on the Bluetooth circuit without safety switch 7, and use Bluetooth is waiting for connection within 30 seconds or 1 minute. Then, release the electronic clip, and then the external device connects to the ignition gun. After the connection is approved and approved, press the electronic clip again, the ignition gun ignites, and records Data is returned to the external device. Release the electronics clamp and the flame goes out.

Scenario 2: After completing the first ignition, ignite again within a short predetermined time, such as 5 minutes or 10 minutes, because Bluetooth is connected to the external device (you can set the Bluetooth to remain connected to the external device after each ignition) The device has been continuously connected for a certain period of time), press the electronic clip of the ignition gun, and the ignition gun ignites (in theory, instant ignition can be achieved without waiting, but there may be a delay of 0.5-1 seconds in practice due to the circuit board circuit and switch response), And record the data back to the external device. Release the electronic clamp and the flame goes out.

Situation 3: After the interval from the last ignition is greater than a longer predetermined time, such as 5 minutes or 10 minutes, the ignition gun Bluetooth circuit is in a dormant state (the Bluetooth continuous connection time can be set to ensure that there is no operation during the predetermined time) After Bluetooth sleep), when the electronic clip is pressed, the Bluetooth circuit of the ignition gun exits the sleep state and sends an ignition request to the external device (due to the Bluetooth connection memory, there is no need to connect again). When the external device allows the ignition signal to return to the Bluetooth ignition gun , the ignition gun realizes ignition (theoretically, it can take 0.5 seconds from sending a Bluetooth request to getting a response. In fact, due to the location of the external device and the Bluetooth ignition gun, as well as signal delays, etc., it may exceed 0.5 seconds, for example, around 2 seconds. Complete the response) and record the data back to the external device. Release the electronic clamp and the flame goes out.

In case 1, that is, during the initial connection, it can also be set so that after a predetermined time has elapsed after pressing the electronic clip of the ignition gun, the ignition gun is connected to the external device. At this time, if the electronic clip continues to be pressed, ignition will be achieved. In other words, it is not necessary to release the electronic clamp first and then press it again when igniting for the first time.

In the above three situations, the external device can be a smartphone or other handheld device and wearable device, and wireless transceiver devices and APPs can be installed on these devices. In the above three situations, the wireless transceiver device is Bluetooth as an example. It should be understood that wireless transceiver devices such as Wifi, Zegbee, Lifi or infrared transceiver devices may also be used.

In the above ignition control method, the external device may be installed with an APP for controlling communication between the external device and the ignition gun, and step S1 includes starting the APP before step S11. The ignition gun may be configured such that when the ignition gun exceeds a predetermined distance from the external device or the APP stops running, the ignition gun cannot achieve ignition.

In one embodiment, the above ignition control method can be implemented through the following steps:
