The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and the like in the description and in the claims, as well as in the drawings, if any, are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the invention described herein are, for example, capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a user using an electronic cigarette device in the prior art, and as shown in fig. 1, the electronic cigarette device mainly includes an electronic cigarette body 2, and when the user uses the electronic cigarette device to smoke, the user generally puts an inlet of the electronic cigarette body 2 into the mouth and then starts smoking. In the process of smoking by a user, the loudspeaker on the electronic cigarette equipment can be triggered to play corresponding sound source information, so that the user can hear a related sound source while smoking, and the user can obtain better smoking experience. However, because the speaker on the electronic cigarette device plays the sound source in an external playing manner, noise is easily generated, and interference is generated to people around the speaker.

In order to solve the above problems, the technical idea of the present invention is to provide an electronic cigarette device, that is, the electronic cigarette device includes an electronic cigarette body and a hearing device disposed on the electronic cigarette body, the electronic cigarette body and the hearing device are connected to each other, and meanwhile, a controller and a bone conduction speaker are disposed in the hearing device, the controller can control the bone conduction speaker to vibrate when determining the entrance of the electronic cigarette body or when touching the teeth, that is, when determining that the user smokes, so as to transmit a vibration signal generated by the bone conduction speaker to the hearing system of the human body through a bone conduction manner, so that the user can transmit a played sound source to the hearing system through the electronic cigarette device while smoking, and not only can not cause sound interference to the surrounding environment and people, but also can improve the sound quality effect of the electronic cigarette device, that is, the electronic cigarette device can not be interfered by the external environment, therefore, the experience degree of the user is effectively improved.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a hardware structure of an electronic cigarette device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the electronic cigarette device includes an electronic cigarette body 2 and a hearing device 1 disposed on the electronic cigarette body. Wherein the hearing device comprises: a controller 11 and a bone conduction speaker 12.

Specifically, the controller 11 is configured to control the bone conduction speaker 12 to vibrate when determining that the entrance of the electronic cigarette body 2 is located or the electronic cigarette touches a tooth, so as to transmit the generated vibration signal to the auditory system of the human body in a bone conduction manner.

In this embodiment, the electronic cigarette body 2 is mechanically connected to the hearing device 1 disposed on the electronic cigarette body, and the mechanical connection may be a detachable connection or a fixed connection, such as a threaded connection, an elastic connection, a magnetic connection, a snap connection, an adhesive connection, or the like.

In addition, the hearing device 1 can also be arranged on the electronic cigarette body 2 in a plug-in manner (that is, fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of an electronic cigarette device with a plug-in hearing device), that is, the plug-in hearing device 1 can be arranged outside the electronic cigarette body 2 (as shown in fig. 3); alternatively, the hearing device 1 may be disposed inside the electronic cigarette body 2 (not depicted in the drawings herein), and is not limited thereto.

In addition, since the user uses the electronic cigarette body 2 to achieve the purpose of smoking, if a part of the electronic cigarette body 2 needs to enter, the outer contour of the entrance part of the electronic cigarette body 2, i.e. the part of the electronic cigarette body needing to enter, may be a cylinder, a truncated cone, a prism, or another shape suitable for being put into the mouth.

Further, when determining the entrance of the electronic cigarette body 2, for example, when sensing the touching of the electronic cigarette body 2 or determining the entrance of the electronic cigarette body or touching the teeth based on the related playing start instruction or smoking instruction input by the user, the controller controls the bone conduction speaker 12 to vibrate so as to transmit the vibration signal generated by the bone conduction speaker 12 to the auditory system of the human body in a bone conduction manner.

For example, after the user puts the inlet portion of the electronic cigarette body 2 into the mouth, the controller 11 determines that the electronic cigarette body 2 is put into the mouth according to the pressure change on the electronic cigarette body 2, and then the controller 11 can play the preconfigured sound source and trigger the bone conduction type speaker 12 to generate the vibration matched with the preconfigured sound source, so that the user can listen to the preconfigured sound source while smoking with the electronic cigarette body 2.

Furthermore, even if the user is in a relatively quiet environment, the user does not affect other people in the quiet environment in order to improve personal experience, namely, in order to listen to music while smoking. In addition, when the environment around the user is noisy, the bone conduction type loudspeaker 12 is used for generating vibration signals and conducting the vibration signals to the auditory system of the user based on a bone conduction mode, so that the influence of the peripheral noisy environment is avoided, and the sound quality can be effectively improved.

When the tooth is a bucktooth or the like, the user does not enter the mouth at the inlet of the electronic cigarette body 2, but touches the tooth, the controller 11 may drive the bone conduction speaker 12 to generate a vibration signal, and then transmit the vibration signal to the auditory system by bone conduction.

In the present embodiment, the electronic cigarette device mainly includes an electronic cigarette body 2 and a hearing device 1 disposed on the electronic cigarette body 2, which are connected to each other, and at the same time, the controller 11 and the bone conduction type loudspeaker 12 are arranged in the hearing device, when the controller 11 determines that the entrance of the electronic cigarette body 2 is accessed or the teeth are touched, namely, when the user smokes, the bone conduction type loudspeaker 12 is controlled to vibrate, so that the vibration signal generated by the bone conduction type loudspeaker 12 is conducted to the auditory system of the human body in a bone conduction mode, the user can use the electronic cigarette device to smoke and can transmit the played sound source to the auditory system through the electronic cigarette body 2 in a bone conduction way, the sound interference to the surrounding environment and people can be avoided, the own tone quality effect can be improved, namely, the interference of the external environment can be avoided, and therefore the user experience is effectively improved.

Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic cigarette device according to a second embodiment of the present invention, in this embodiment, based on the embodiment in fig. 2, in the process of playing a sound source, the controller 131 may adjust the played sound source correspondingly by sensing the motion of the user, and a device involved in sensing the motion of the user will be described below with reference to an embodiment. As shown in fig. 4, the electronic cigarette device further includes a sensor 3, and the controller 11 can sense a touch action of the user touching the electronic cigarette body 2 according to the sensor 3, and identify an operation mode according to the touch action, so as to adjust the played sound source according to the operation mode; meanwhile, the controller 11 may also control the bone conduction speaker 12 to vibrate according to the adjusted sound source, so as to generate a corresponding vibration signal.

In this embodiment, sensor 3 can sense the action of touching that the user goes on to electron cigarette body 2, thereby make controller 11 can sense after the action of touching at sensor 3, confirm the operation mode that the action of should touching corresponds, and then make controller 11 can adjust the sound source of present broadcast according to this operation mode, and according to the audio frequency after the adjustment, trigger bone conduction formula loudspeaker 12 vibration, in order to produce with the sound source assorted vibration signal after this adjustment, realize the intelligent broadcast control of sound source, convenience of customers's use, user's experience has been improved effectively promptly.

In this embodiment, optionally, when the touch action is recognized as an intermittent click operation, that is, when the touch action is determined as a continuous click operation, the controller 11 determines a matching operation mode according to the click operation and the number of times of clicking, that is, determines an operation mode corresponding to the number of times of continuous click operation, so as to adjust the currently played sound source by using the operation mode. The operation mode comprises one or more of the following modes: fast forward operation mode, fast backward operation mode, music program switching operation mode, operation mode for adjusting volume of sound source played, cancellation of playing operation mode, and start of playing operation mode.

The fast forward operation mode indicates that the progress of the played sound source is advanced by a first preset time, for example, the total duration of the played sound source is 60 seconds, the first preset time is 10 seconds, the currently played progress is 20 seconds, that is, the sound source has been played for 20 seconds, after the operation mode is determined to be the fast forward operation mode, the fast forward operation mode is triggered, that is, the played sound source is advanced by 10 seconds, that is, the sound source is played from a position corresponding to the 30 th second of the sound source.

The fast-backward operation mode indicates that the progress of the played sound source is backward for a first preset time, for example, the progress of the played sound source is 20 seconds, that is, the sound source has been played for 20 seconds, and the second preset time is 15 seconds, and after the operation mode is determined to be the fast-backward operation mode, the fast-backward operation mode is triggered, that is, the progress of the sound source to be played is backward for 15 seconds, that is, the sound source is played from the position corresponding to the 5 th second of the sound source.

The switching music program operation mode indicates that a played sound source is switched to a next sound source or a previous sound source corresponding to the played sound source, or indicates that a type to which a currently played sound source belongs is switched to a previous type or a next type corresponding to the type, and then the sound source corresponding to the switched type is played, for example, the type to which the currently played sound source belongs is a song type, the switching music program operation mode indicates that the type to which the currently played sound source belongs is switched to a previous type corresponding to the type, then the sound source corresponding to the switched type is played, and the previous type of the song type is a story type.

The operation mode for adjusting the volume of the sound source to be played means to adjust the volume of the sound source to be played currently. The start of the play mode indicates the start of playing the sound source. The cancel playback operation mode indicates that playback of the currently played sound source is stopped.

It should be noted that the fast forward operation mode, the fast backward operation mode, the music program switching operation mode, the operation mode for adjusting the volume of the played sound source, the cancel of the play operation mode, and the start of the play operation mode are not limited herein. In addition, the user may also set the number of clicks corresponding to each operation mode according to the actual situation, that is, the number of clicks required to trigger a certain operation mode, and may also set the processing procedure indicated by each operation mode according to the actual situation, that is, the operation to be executed when each operation mode is triggered.

For example, when the user smokes a cigarette, plays music, and wants to switch music, that is, switch to the next music, the user can continuously touch the electronic cigarette body 2 with a finger and touch the electronic cigarette body 3 times, so that the controller 11 obtains an operation mode matching the touch action and the touch times when recognizing that the touch action is an intermittent click operation and the times are 3 times, the operation mode is a switching music program operation mode, and the controller 11 switches the currently played music to the next music according to the operation mode.

In addition, in the present embodiment, optionally, the sensor 3 may also be a pressure sensor. When a user clicks the electronic cigarette device to adjust the played sound source, pressure generally needs to be applied to the electronic cigarette device, when the sensor 3 senses pressure change, the controller 11 determines that the user is clicking once, if clicking operations are detected for multiple times within a specified time, the controller is determined to be intermittent clicking operations, namely continuous clicking operations, so that the controller 11 triggers a corresponding operation mode according to the times of the continuous clicking operations, the played sound source is adjusted, intelligent control over the played sound source is achieved, the use of the user is facilitated, and the experience of the user is effectively improved.

Further, in order to prevent the user from simply touching, the controller 11 determines that the user is performing a click operation when the sensor 3 senses the pressure and the pressure is greater than the preset pressure, so as to avoid the electric quantity and the service life of the device itself caused by the misoperation.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, in addition to the sensing by the sensor, the controller may automatically trigger the corresponding operation mode to adjust the played sound source, and may also determine by using keys set on the electronic cigarette device, where different keys correspond to different operation modes. When a user operates a certain key, the controller determines an operation mode corresponding to the key and triggers the operation mode, so that the controller adjusts the played sound source according to the operation mode, and the accurate playing control of the audio is realized.

Based on this, in the embodiment, the adjustment of the sound source can be based on a manual mode or an automatic mode, that is, a flexible mode, so as to realize the triggering of the operation mode, so as to meet various requirements of the user.

In addition, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, optionally, the bone conduction speaker 12 includes an actuator capable of generating vibration, and then the bone conduction speaker 12 includes: an outer structure 123, and at least one transducer unit 21 housed in the outer structure. The transduction unit 21 includes a power receiving element 122 electrically connected to the controller 11, and a vibration element 121 connected to an external structure, and the vibration element 121 and the power receiving element 122 are within an action range, so that an input signal carrying sound source information output by the controller 11, for example, an electrical signal, can be transmitted to the power receiving element 122, and the power receiving element 122 drives the vibration element 121 to generate a vibration signal matched with the input signal, and transmits the vibration signal to the electronic cigarette body 2 through the external structure, and further transmits the vibration signal to the auditory system of the user, thereby realizing sound transmission.

In particular, the vibrating element 121 is mechanically connected to the external structure 123, either rigidly or by means of an elastic structure or element. In addition, an external structure, such as a housing, is fixedly connected or detachably connected to the electronic cigarette body 2, or is mechanically connected to a housing of a hearing device provided on the electronic cigarette body, and the housing of the hearing device is fixedly connected or detachably connected to the electronic cigarette body 2. And the outer structure may be made of a material selected to be suitable for conducting vibrations so as to reduce attenuation of the vibration signal generated by the transducer unit during the conduction process. Preferably, the housing of the e-cigarette body 2 is also made of a material suitable for conducting vibrations, so that the vibration signal can be better transmitted into the user's mouth or teeth.

The transducer unit can be implemented in various ways, and is described in detail as follows:

fig. 5 is an implementation of a transducer unit, as shown in fig. 5: the vibration element 121 may be a magnet, and the power receiving element 122 may be a coil.

In this embodiment, magnet 121 and coil 122 may constitute a transducer unit 21, in this embodiment, transducer unit 21 is used to convert electric energy into a magnetic field through coil 122, energized coil 122 generates a magnetic field, and generates a magnetic force with magnet 121, so that magnet 121 applies pressure to external structure 123 through mechanical connection, so that external structure 123 deforms, and the magnitude of magnetic field is adjusted through an electric signal to change the deformation amount, so that external structure 123 vibrates with the magnet together, thereby realizing that the electric signal sent by controller 11 is converted into a vibration signal carrying sound source information, i.e., realizing vibration sound production.

The magnet 121 may be a magnet formed of a coil, or a magnet formed of both a coil and a magnet. Similarly, the coil 122 may be a magnet formed of a coil and/or a magnet. In the present application, a magnet refers to a component capable of generating a magnetic field or a structural module capable of generating a magnetic field, and similar embodiments can exist for both the magnet and the coil mentioned in the following embodiments, which will not be described in detail below. The invention is not limited to the specific form of the magnet, and all components capable of generating a magnetic field fall within the scope of the magnet described in the invention.

Optionally, fig. 6 is another implementation manner of the transducer unit in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 6: the magnet 121 is connected to the external structure 123 by an elastic member 124, and the elastic member 124 may be a spring, or rubber, or other elastic material.

In addition, it should be noted that, for the transducing unit 21 of the bone conduction type loudspeaker 12, it may be a single group or multiple groups of transducing units to form a whole sound production execution unit, and the different transducing units have different vibration frequency domains, for example, a part of transducing units is used to realize a high-pitch frequency domain, a part of transducing units is used to realize a middle-pitch frequency domain, and another part of transducing units is used to realize a low-pitch frequency domain.

Alternatively, the transducer unit 21 may include a plurality of power receiving elements and a plurality of vibrating elements. In one possible embodiment, the number of the power receiving elements and the number of the vibrating elements are the same, the power receiving elements are in one-to-one correspondence with the vibrating elements, each power receiving element is electrically connected with the controller 11, and the controller 11 drives the corresponding vibrating element to vibrate according to the frequency band characteristics of the sound information, thereby forming a plurality of groups of transducer units.

Based on this, fig. 7 is yet another implementation of the transducer unit in this example, as shown in fig. 7, the bone conduction type speaker 12 includes two power receiving elements (e.g., coils) 122 and two vibrating elements (e.g., magnets) 121, forming two sets of transducer units 21.

The frequency response characteristics of the multiple groups of transducer units can be different, and the controller 11 can drive one and/or more groups of transducer units corresponding to the frequency response characteristics to vibrate according to the frequency band characteristics of the sound information, specifically, the controller 11 sends corresponding electric signals to one and/or more groups of transducer units with the highest matching degree between the resonance peak frequency of the vibration element and the frequency band characteristics of the sound information, so that one or more groups of transducer units are responsible for realizing the sound effect of a high-pitch frequency band, and the other group or groups of transducer units are responsible for realizing the sound effect of a low-pitch frequency band.

It is to be understood that the specific form of the power receiving element and the vibrating element is not limited to the coil and the magnet, and may be other forms.

Fig. 8 shows another implementation manner of the transducer unit in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, each transducer unit includes at least two vibrating elements 121, and the two vibrating elements share one power receiving element 122, the power receiving element 122 is a coil, the vibrating elements 121 are a magnet 121_1 and a magnet 121_2, the two magnets 121_1 and 121_2 are respectively disposed on two sides of the coil 122, and the two magnets 121_1 and 121_2 are both in an effective acting range of a magnetic field generated by the coil 122, that is, the coil 122 can drive both the magnet 121_1 and the magnet 121_2, the magnet 121_1 is responsible for realizing vibration in a high-pitched frequency band, and the magnet 121_2 is responsible for realizing vibration in a low-pitched frequency band.

It will be appreciated that the two magnets 121_1 and 121_2 may differ in weight, size, material and magnetic air gap with the coil 122, so that the two parts of the transducer unit 21 have different frequency response characteristics.

Alternatively, the power receiving element, i.e., the coil 122, and the two vibrating elements, i.e., the two magnets 121_1 and 121_2, in the embodiment of the present application may be coaxially arranged, so as to facilitate balanced driving of the magnets 121_1 and 121_ 2; the magnetic control device can also be arranged in a non-coaxial mode, and different frequency characteristics can be achieved by adjusting the relative positions of the two magnets and the coil, materials, magnetic air gaps, the number of turns and different electric control signals through mutual matching of the magnets and the coil.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, each magnet and coil may have a specific frequency range, and if there are multiple sets of combinations of magnets and coils in one transducer unit, a single transducer unit may have a plurality of different frequency ranges.

When the controller 11 sends an electric signal to the coil 122, the two magnets 121_1 and 121_2 are driven to vibrate, so that the vibration signal output by the bone conduction sound generating device is the superposition effect of the two groups of audio frequency segments, the tone quality of the bone conduction sound generating device can be improved, namely, the frequency domain of the audio frequency is widened, and meanwhile, the whole volume of the bone conduction sound generating device can be greatly reduced by the integration mode.

In addition, when there are at least two transducer units, all transducer units may share a receiving cavity formed by the outer structure 123, as shown in fig. 7 of the above drawings; alternatively, each transducer unit is individually enclosed by one accommodating cavity, that is, one external structure 123 may be partitioned into accommodating cavities corresponding to the number of transducer units, that is, fig. 9 is still another implementation manner of the transducer unit in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 9, the bone conduction type speaker 12 includes a transducer unit 211 and a transducer unit 212, the transducer unit 211 is composed of two magnets 121_1 and 121_2 and a coil 122_1, the transducer unit 212 is composed of two magnets 121_3 and 121_4 and a coil 122_2, and the two

transducer units

211 and 212 are individually accommodated by the two accommodating cavities formed by the external structure 123. The two

transducer units

211 and 212 may have different frequency response characteristics, thereby further widening the frequency response range of the bone conduction sound generating apparatus and improving the sound quality.

Alternatively, when there are a plurality of transducer units, a part of the transducer units may share a receiving cavity, and another part of the transducer units may separately receive the receiving cavity, which may be combined to form the bone conduction speaker 12.

Furthermore, for each transducer unit, in one possible embodiment, each transducer unit comprises at least two power receiving elements, and the two power receiving elements share one vibration element, which can reduce the overall volume of the bone conduction sound generating apparatus.

Fig. 10 shows another implementation of the transducer unit of this embodiment, and as shown in fig. 10, the bone conduction type speaker 12 includes two coils 122_3 and 122_4, a magnet 121, an elastic element 123 and an external structure 123. The magnet 121 is within the effective range of the magnetic field generated by the two coils 122_3 and 122_4, i.e. the magnet 121 is driven by both the first coil 122_3 and the coil 122_4, thus forming a transducing unit. As shown in fig. 10, two coils 122_3 and 122_4 are respectively provided at both ends of the magnet 121.

In one possible design, the two coils 122_3 and 122_4 may also be disposed on the same side of the magnet 121.

Alternatively, the vibrating element, i.e., the magnet 121, and the two power receiving elements, i.e., the two coils 122_3 and 122_4, in the embodiment of the present application may be coaxially arranged, so as to facilitate balanced driving of the magnet 121; the magnetic control device can also be arranged in a non-coaxial mode, and different frequency characteristics can be realized by adjusting the relative positions of the two coils and the magnet, materials, magnetic air gaps, the number of turns and different electric control signals through mutual matching of the plurality of coils and the magnet.

It should be noted that the number of turns, material and magnetic air gap with the magnet 121 of the two coils 122_3 and 122_4 can be different, so that the transducer unit has different frequency response characteristics.
