Drawings
In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the drawings required for the description of the embodiments will be briefly described below, and it is apparent that the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present invention, and other drawings may be obtained according to these drawings without inventive effort for a person skilled in the art.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a part of a structure of an electronic cigarette provided by the invention.
In the drawings, the names and numbers of the components are shown in table 1, and table 1 is as follows:
Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides a schematic structural diagram of a part of an electronic cigarette, which includes a mesh assembly 11, a control assembly (not shown), at least one sensor assembly 12, and at least one storage assembly 13 for storing a tobacco liquid.
As shown in fig. 1, a mesh assembly 11 is provided in the electronic cigarette of the present embodiment, and a sensor assembly 12 is provided below the mesh assembly 11.
Optionally, the sensor assembly 12 is in contact with the mesh assembly 11, and the data detected by the sensor assembly 12 is used to indicate the amount of smoke on the mesh assembly 11.
Alternatively, the sensor assembly 12 is not in contact with the mesh assembly 11 while no smoke is present on the mesh assembly 11. As the amount of smoke on the mesh assembly 11 increases, the deformation of the mesh assembly 11 becomes more and more pronounced and the distance from the sensor assembly 12 decreases, eventually the mesh assembly 11 can come into contact with the sensor assembly 12.
Alternatively, the sensor assembly 12 may be a pressure sensor, with the greater the pressure value detected by the sensor assembly 12 indicating more smoke liquid on the mesh assembly 11.
Optionally, the control assembly, upon acquiring the data detected by the sensor assembly 12, determines the amount of smoke on the mesh assembly 11 based on the data detected by the sensor assembly 12. For example, as shown in fig. 1, two sensor assemblies 12 are disposed in the electronic cigarette, the two sensor assemblies 12 are located at two sides below the mesh assembly 11, and the control assembly calculates the amount of smoke on the mesh assembly 11 according to the pressure values detected by the two sensor assemblies 12.
Alternatively, the sensor assembly 12 may be mounted on a sidewall, which may be referred to herein as the sidewall that is contacted by the mesh assembly 11. For example, sensor assembly 12 is mounted on the side wall that mesh assembly 11 contacts.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 1, the electronic device includes two storage components 13, where the two storage components 13 are respectively disposed on two sides of the electronic cigarette; the mesh assembly 11 is disposed below the storage assembly 13, and the mesh assembly 11 is horizontally disposed.
In this embodiment, the sensor assembly 12 is electrically connected to a control assembly that can obtain data detected by the sensor assembly 12. When the data detected by the sensor assembly 12 meets the preset condition, the control assembly can control the storage assembly 13 to stop releasing the smoke liquid to the mesh assembly 11.
Wherein the preset conditions referred to herein are set by the skilled person. For example, the preset condition may be that the pressure value detected by any one of the sensor assemblies 12 reaches a preset first threshold value; for another example, the preset condition may be that the pressure values detected by all the sensor assemblies 12 in the electronic cigarette reach a preset first threshold value; for another example, the preset condition may be that the determined amount of smoke on the mesh assembly 11 is higher than a preset value, and the amount of smoke on the mesh assembly 11 is determined by the control assembly according to the pressure value detected by the sensor assembly 12. In addition, the technician may determine the value detected by the sensor assembly 12 when the smoke liquid on the mesh assembly 11 starts to leak through a plurality of experiments, determine the value detected by the sensor assembly 12 as a preset first threshold value, or set the smoke liquid amount on the mesh assembly 11 as a preset value according to the value determined by the sensor assembly 12.
The following two separate cases respectively describe how the electronic cigarette stops releasing the tobacco liquid in the storage component 13 to the mesh component 11.
First, the electronic cigarette further comprises a pump, a liquid inlet pipe of the pump is communicated with the inside of the storage component 13, and the pump is connected with the control component. As shown in fig. 1, the pump may be mounted at a location indicated by reference numeral 14 in fig. 1.
The control component can control the pump to work so that the pump releases the tobacco liquid in the storage component 13 to the mesh component 11; when the data detected by the sensor assembly 12 meets the preset condition, the control assembly can stop the pump by controlling the pump to stop working, so that the pump stops releasing the smoke liquid in the storage assembly 13 to the mesh assembly 11.
In addition, since the same amount of the smoke liquid is distributed intensively and uniformly on the mesh unit 11, the values detected by the sensor unit 12 are different when the smoke liquid starts to leak. In order to avoid that the smoke liquid in the storage component 13 flows out and is intensively distributed at a certain position of the mesh component 11, so that the data detected by the sensor component 12 does not meet the preset condition (for example, the smoke liquid amount detected by the sensor component 12 does not reach the preset value), the electronic cigarette continuously releases the smoke liquid onto the mesh component 11, the smoke liquid is leaked, and the control component can uniformly spray the smoke liquid onto the mesh component 11 through the pump when controlling the pump to release the smoke liquid in the storage component 13 onto the mesh component 11. For example, the outlet of the pump may be connected to a spray head for uniform spraying, through which the smoke liquid flows from the reservoir assembly 13 and is uniformly sprayed on the mesh assembly 11. For another example, the pump has a function of uniformly spraying the liquid, and the control unit controls the operation of the pump, and the pump uniformly sprays the smoke liquid drawn from the storage unit 13 directly on the mesh unit 11.
Second, the storage component 13 is provided with a liquid outlet at one end close to the mesh component 11, and a valve is arranged in the liquid outlet and is electrically connected with the control component. As shown in fig. 1, the liquid outlet of the storage component 13 may be disposed at a position indicated by reference numeral 14.
The control assembly controls the opening and closing of the valve of the liquid outlet, and when the valve is opened, the smoke liquid in the storage assembly 13 can be released to the mesh assembly 11. In this embodiment, when the data detected by the sensor assembly 12 meets the preset condition, the control assembly closes the valve to stop the storage assembly 13 from releasing the smoke liquid to the mesh assembly 11.
It should be noted that it takes time to control the pump or valve to close, and during this time the smoke liquid in the storage assembly 13 still flows out, possibly causing the smoke liquid on the mesh assembly 11 to start leaking. Therefore, in order to avoid this, the first threshold set by the technician is generally smaller than the above-mentioned value detected by the sensor assembly 12 when the smoke starts to leak, which is obtained by a plurality of experiments, and the preset value is generally smaller than the above-mentioned smoke amount on the mesh assembly 11 when the smoke starts to leak, which is obtained by a plurality of experiments.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, a first airflow channel is disposed in the electronic cigarette, an air outlet 15 of the first airflow channel is communicated with a cigarette holder (not shown in the figure) of the electronic cigarette, a mesh assembly 11 and a heating element 16 are disposed in the first airflow channel, and the heating element 16 is electrically connected with the control assembly.
As shown in fig. 1, the mesh assembly 11 is disposed in the first air flow passage such that the mesh assembly 11 is closer to the air outlet 15 of the first air flow passage than the heating member 16.
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 1, heating element 16 is positioned below mesh assembly 11.
The control assembly can control the heating element 16 to work, and the heating element 16 can heat the surrounding gas when in work. When a user draws at the cigarette holder, the heated gas passes through the mesh assembly 11 and generates smoke from the smoke liquid on the atomization mesh assembly 11, and the smoke flows to the cigarette holder of the electronic cigarette from the air outlet 15 of the first air flow channel, so that simulated smoking is realized.
Alternatively, the user may trigger the operation of the heating element 16 in several ways.
When the control component in the electronic cigarette receives the cigarette lighting signal, the heating piece is controlled to heat with the first power.
In the case where the electronic cigarette includes a switch key (not shown in the drawing), the operation signal generated when the user operates the switch key may be a lighting signal; in the case that a sensor (not shown in the figure) for detecting air flow is provided in the first air flow channel of the electronic cigarette, and the sensor is electrically connected with the control assembly, the information detected by the sensor for indicating that the electronic cigarette is in the sucked state may be a lighting cigarette signal.
The following is described in two cases:
1. in the case that the electronic cigarette includes a switch key: the user may trigger the heating element 16 to operate by operating the switch key. The switch key can be any one of a touch key, a touch screen and a pressure key, and is electrically connected with the control component.
Specifically, the control unit controls the heating element 16 to operate when receiving an operation signal satisfying a preset second condition, where the operation signal is an operation signal generated when the on-off key is operated. Taking the switch key as a pressure key, a user triggers the heating element 16 to work by pressing the switch key, and when the control component receives an operation signal generated when the switch key is pressed, the control component controls the heating element 16 to work.
2. In the case that a sensor for detecting air flow is provided in the first air flow passage of the electronic cigarette: since the sensor is arranged in the first airflow channel, which communicates with the mouthpiece, when the user draws at the mouthpiece, the flow of gas around the sensor in the first airflow channel is corresponding, i.e. the information detected by the sensor changes. Thus, the information detected by the sensor in the first airflow channel may be used to indicate whether the user is drawing at the mouthpiece (if the detected airflow flow rate exceeds a preset first threshold, the user draws, otherwise if the detected airflow flow rate does not exceed the preset first threshold, indicating that the user is not drawing).
It should be noted that the sensor in the first air flow channel may be a sensor that can be used to detect an air flow, such as a pressure sensor, an air flow sensor, or the like, and the type of the sensor is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
Optionally, a second airflow channel (not shown in the figure) is further arranged in the electronic cigarette, an air outlet of the second airflow channel is communicated with a cigarette holder of the electronic cigarette, a sensor (not shown in the figure) for detecting airflow is arranged in the second airflow channel, and the sensor in the second airflow channel is electrically connected with the control component. The control assembly may be configured to control the second airflow path when the information detected by the sensor indicates that the e-cigarette is in a smoked state, the control assembly controls the operation of the heating element 16, i.e. by means of a sensor in the second air flow channel to detect whether a smoke signal is received.
The sensor in the second air flow channel may be a sensor such as a pressure sensor, an air flow sensor, or the like that can be used to detect an air flow, and the type of the sensor is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
The above is only exemplified by detecting whether the ignition signal is received by a key or a sensor for detecting air flow, and in actual implementation, the ignition signal may also be a sound control signal received by a microphone, which is not described herein.
If the user draws frequently at the mouthpiece, the gas surrounding the heating element 16 can only be heated for a short period of time. However, the gas heated by the heating member 16 for a short time hardly reaches the temperature of the atomized liquid smoke, and the gas heated for a short time hardly atomizes the liquid smoke on the mesh assembly 11 when passing through the mesh assembly 11. Optionally, in order to avoid that the tobacco liquid is not atomized yet, the airflow inhaled by the user directly enters the mouth of the user, and the electronic cigarette can preheat the tobacco liquid in the following modes, so that the speed of atomizing the tobacco liquid in the process of sucking by the user is improved.
First, under the condition that the electronic cigarette is started, when the control component does not receive a cigarette lighting signal, the heating component 16 is controlled to generate heat with second power so as to heat but not atomize the cigarette liquid on the mesh component 11; the control assembly, upon receiving the ignition signal, controls the heating element 16 to generate heat at a first power, the second power being lower than the first power.
The second power is lower than the power of the heating element 16 when atomizing the liquid on the mesh assembly 11.
Two cases are respectively described:
1. in the case that the electronic cigarette includes a switch key: the user can simulate smoking through operating the on-off key of the electronic cigarette. When the user does not simulate smoking through operating the on-off key of the electronic cigarette, the control component in the electronic cigarette controls the heating component 16 to work with the first power to heat the surrounding air, so that the tobacco liquid on the mesh component 11 can be adaptively heated but not atomized, and the tobacco liquid on the mesh component 11 can be rapidly atomized when the user operates the on-off key to simulate smoking.
2. In the case where the information detected by the sensor in the first air flow path or the second air flow path is used to indicate whether the electronic cigarette is in a sucked state:
the control component controls the heating component 16 to generate heat with the second power to heat but not atomize the tobacco liquid on the mesh component 11 when the information detected by the sensor in the first airflow channel or the second airflow channel indicates that the electronic cigarette is not in a sucked state; the control assembly controls the heating element 16 to generate heat at a first power when the information detected by the sensor indicates that the electronic cigarette is in a smoked state.
It can be seen that the user can trigger the electronic cigarette to atomize the tobacco juice by sucking at the cigarette holder, and under the condition of simulated smoking: when the electronic cigarette is not in the sucking state, the tobacco liquid on the mesh assembly 11 is heated but not atomized, so that the tobacco liquid on the mesh assembly 11 can be atomized rapidly when a user sucks at the cigarette holder.
Second, in case that a user can trigger the electronic cigarette to atomize the tobacco liquid by operating the on-off key of the electronic cigarette or by sucking at the mouthpiece: if the information detected by the sensor in the first air flow channel or the second air flow channel indicates that the electronic cigarette is in a sucked state, or the control component receives an operation signal meeting a preset second condition, the control component controls the heating piece 16 to generate heat with the first power, otherwise, the control component controls the heating piece 16 to generate heat with the second power.
Third, the electronic cigarette further includes an air pump (not shown in the figure), the air outlet of the air pump is connected to the cavity where the heating element 16 is located, and the air extraction opening of the air pump is connected to the outside of the electronic cigarette.
As shown in fig. 1, the air inlet 17 of the first air flow channel communicates to the outside of the electronic cigarette. The information detected by the sensor in the second airflow channel indicates that the electronic cigarette is not in a sucked state, and the control component controls the air suction pump to suck air and controls the heating component 16 to generate heat with the second power, so that the heating component 16 heats the air flow pumped by the air suction pump with the second power, and the air flow can heat the tobacco liquid on the mesh component 11 but not atomize when passing through the mesh component 11. When the information detected by the sensor in the second airflow channel indicates that the electronic cigarette is in a sucking state, the control component controls the sucking pump to stop sucking air and controls the heating piece 16 to emit heat with first power, so that the smoke liquid on the mesh component 11 can be atomized rapidly, and the first power is higher than the second power.
It should be noted that, the air outlet of the second air flow channel and the air outlet of the first air flow channel are both communicated with the cigarette holder of the electronic cigarette, but the air inlet of the second air flow channel is isolated from the first air flow channel. When the air pump works, air in the first air flow channel is discharged through the first air flow channel and the cigarette holder, and the sensor in the second air flow channel can not detect air flow information in the first air flow channel.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1, the air inlet 17 of the first air flow passage is located below the heating member 16. The direction of airflow movement within the first airflow path as the user draws at the mouthpiece is in agreement as indicated by the arrow (shown at 19).
Fourth, the electronic cigarette further includes an air pump (not shown in the figure), and an air outlet of the air pump is connected to an air inlet (not shown in the figure) of the first air flow channel, and the first air flow channel has no other air inlets.
After the electronic cigarette is started, the control component controls the air extracting pump to continuously extract air; the information detected by the sensor in the second airflow channel indicates that the electronic cigarette is not in a sucked state, the heating element 16 is controlled to generate heat with the second power, so that the heating element 16 heats the airflow pumped by the air pump with the second power, and the airflow can heat the tobacco liquid on the mesh assembly 11 but not atomize when passing through the mesh assembly 11; when the information detected by the sensor in the second airflow channel indicates that the electronic cigarette is in a sucking state, the heating element 16 is controlled to emit heat with a first power, so that the airflow heated with the first power can quickly atomize the tobacco liquid on the mesh assembly 11 when passing through the mesh assembly 11, and the first power is higher than the second power.
It should be noted that, when the air pump is disposed in the electronic cigarette, a sensor for detecting air flow is disposed in the second air flow channel in the electronic cigarette, and the electronic cigarette determines whether the electronic cigarette is in a sucked state according to the information detected by the sensor. The first airflow channel of the electronic cigarette may not be provided with a sensor for detecting airflow, and may also be provided with a sensor for detecting airflow. However, the sensor in the first airflow channel can detect the airflow generated in the first airflow channel when the user sucks and detect the airflow generated in the first airflow channel when the air pump works, so that the information detected by the sensor in the first airflow channel cannot be used for indicating whether the electronic cigarette is in the sucked state or not, and the information detected by the sensor in the first airflow channel is no longer used for indicating whether the electronic cigarette is in the sucked state or not.
Fifth, the mesh assembly 11 is made of a conductive material, which may be a metallic material. The mesh assembly 11 is provided with positive and negative electrodes (not shown in the figure), and the positive and negative electrodes on the mesh assembly 11 are respectively connected with a battery (not shown in the figure) of the electronic cigarette. An electronic switch is provided in the circuit between the positive electrode on the mesh assembly 11 and the battery or between the negative electrode on the mesh assembly 11 and the battery, and the control end of the electronic switch is connected with the control assembly.
Optionally, when the electronic cigarette is started, the control component controls the power-on between the positive electrode and the negative electrode to preheat the tobacco liquid on the mesh component 11.
Alternatively, in order to avoid the problem that the energization time of the mesh unit 11 is too long, the temperature of the liquid smoke on the mesh unit 11 is gradually increased so that the liquid smoke is atomized. When the electronic cigarette is started, the control component controls the duration of continuous power-on between the positive electrode and the negative electrode not to exceed the preset first duration so as to heat but not atomize the cigarette liquid on the mesh component 11.
The preset first time period is set by a technician, the technician can determine the time period for heating the smoke liquid of the mesh assembly 11 but not atomizing according to multiple experiments, and the set preset first time period can be less than or equal to the time period determined by the multiple experiments.
Optionally, when the electronic cigarette is started, the control component controls the heating element 16 to stop heating, and controls the power supply between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the mesh component 11 to preheat the smoke liquid on the mesh component 11.
Considering that when the heating element 16 stops heating after heating for a long time, the air near the heating element is still heated due to the high temperature of the heating element, and at this time, the smoke liquid on the mesh assembly 11 is easily atomized by energizing between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the mesh assembly 11. This problem can be avoided in this embodiment in the following two ways:
first, the control assembly starts timing when the heating element 16 stops generating heat; when the duration of stopping heating of the heating member 16 reaches a preset second duration, the energization between the positive and negative electrodes is controlled to preheat the smoke liquid on the mesh assembly 11.
Second, when the heating element 16 stops heating, the control component obtains the duration of the heating element 16 heating this time; and if the duration is longer than a preset third duration, stopping the operation of controlling the power supply between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. Alternatively, the operation of controlling the energization between the positive and negative electrodes is stopped to be performed only for a preset fourth period of time.
For example, the third time period and the fourth time period are exemplified by 5S, and when the heating member 16 stops heating after continuing to heat for 5S, the control unit controls the non-energization between the positive and negative electrodes of the mesh unit 11 within 5. After 5s, the control unit controls the heating element 16 to generate heat according to the cigarette making signal, and then the control unit controls the power supply between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the mesh unit 11 to preheat the cigarette liquid on the mesh unit 11.
Alternatively, the electronic cigarette may implement the release of the tobacco juice in several ways.
First, after the electronic cigarette is started, the control component obtains the data detected by the sensor component 12; when the data detected by the sensor assembly 12 do not meet the preset conditions, the control assembly controls the storage assembly 13 to release the tobacco liquid to the mesh assembly 11.
Second, when the information detected by the sensor in the first airflow channel or the second airflow channel indicates that the electronic cigarette is in a sucking state, the control component acquires data detected by the sensor component 12; when the data detected by the sensor assembly 12 do not meet the preset conditions, the control assembly controls the storage assembly 13 to release the tobacco liquid to the mesh assembly 11.
It should be noted that, in the case that the air pump is disposed in the electronic cigarette, the electronic cigarette determines whether the electronic cigarette is in the sucked state according to the information detected by the sensor in the second airflow channel.
Third, the control component acquires data detected by the sensor component 12 when receiving an operation signal meeting a preset second condition; when the data detected by the sensor assembly 12 do not meet the preset conditions, the control assembly controls the storage assembly 13 to release the tobacco liquid to the mesh assembly 11. The operation signal is generated when the switch key on the electronic cigarette is operated.
Fourth, when the amount of smoke detected by the sensor assembly 12 in the electronic cigarette is lower than the preset value, the control assembly controls the storage assembly 13 to release the smoke to the mesh assembly 11, wherein the smoke or the amount of smoke on the mesh assembly 11 is considered to be smaller.
Note that, as shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment is exemplified in which the mesh unit 11 includes only one mesh body, and the sensor unit 12 can be in contact with the mesh body. In actual implementation, the mesh assembly 11 may comprise two mesh bodies, both of which are placed horizontally, one of which is disposed above the other; the mesh assembly 11 may also include two or more mesh bodies placed horizontally.
Where the mesh assembly 11 comprises two or more mesh bodies, the sensor assemblies 12 may be disposed under the lowermost mesh body or bodies, each sensor assembly 12 being capable of contacting the mesh body above it. The data detected by the sensor assembly 12 can be used for indicating the amount of smoke on the mesh assembly 11, and the control assembly can determine whether to control the storage assembly 13 to stop releasing the smoke to the mesh assembly 11 according to the data detected by the sensor assembly 12.
In summary, in the electronic cigarette provided in this embodiment, by disposing the mesh assembly 11, the control assembly, the sensor assembly 12, and the storage assembly 13 for storing the tobacco liquid in the electronic cigarette, the sensor assembly 12 can be in contact with the mesh assembly 11, and the sensor assembly 12 is used for detecting the tobacco liquid amount on the mesh assembly 11; the control component can control the storage component 13 to stop releasing the tobacco liquid to the mesh component 11 according to the tobacco liquid amount on the mesh component 11 detected by the sensor component 12; the problems that in the related art, smoke liquid on the electronic cigarette inner mesh assembly 11 leaks, other parts in the electronic cigarette are polluted by the smoke liquid and the smoke liquid is wasted are solved, and the effect of improving the utilization rate of the smoke liquid is achieved.
