Description
Technisches Gebiet Technical area
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Zigarette, umfassend zumindest einen Verdampfer für ein Liquid, mindestens ein mit dem Verdampfer verbundenes Verdampferdepot für das Liquid, eine Stromversorgung für den Verdampfer, ein Mundstück sowie eine Schaltung zur Regelung der Stromversorgung des Verdampfers, wobei mindestens ein Zugsensor vorgesehen ist, der auf einen Luftstrom bzw. Unterdruck reagiert. Als Zugsensor sei nachstehend jeglicher Luftsensor, Unterdruckschalter oder ein sonstiger zur Erfassung eines Luftstroms oder Unterdrucks geeignete Sensor umfasst. The present invention relates to an electric cigarette comprising at least one evaporator for a liquid, at least one connected to the evaporator evaporator depot for the liquid, a power supply for the evaporator, a mouthpiece and a circuit for controlling the power supply of the evaporator, wherein at least one train sensor provided is that responds to an air flow or negative pressure. As a train sensor is below any air sensor, vacuum switch or other suitable for detecting an air flow or negative pressure sensor comprises.
Stand der Technik State of the art
Zugsensoren sind aus dem Stand der Technik bereits bekannt und reagieren auf den Luftstrom bzw. Unterdruck. Sie beinhalten in der Regel einen integrierten Schalter innerhalb der elektronischen Zigarette, der den Verdampfer bei Bedarf einschaltet. Tensile sensors are already known from the prior art and react to the air flow or negative pressure. They usually include an integrated switch inside the electronic cigarette, which turns on the evaporator when needed.
Bei herkömmlichen, elektrischen Zigaretten ist es für den Nutzer derzeit nicht nachvollziehbar, in welcher Dauer, Häufigkeit und Menge an der elektrischen Zigarette über einen bestimmten Zeitraum gezogen wurde. Da jedoch nahezu sämtliche Raucher der elektrischen Zigarette zuvor Nutzer eines gewöhnlichen, rauchenden Tabakerzeugnisses waren, ist es insbesondere für diese Nutzer wichtig zu wissen, zu welchem Zeitpunkt eine Pause beim Inhalieren der nikotinhaltigen Inhalte einer elektrischen Zigarette eingelegt werden sollte. In conventional, electric cigarettes, it is currently incomprehensible to the user, in which duration, frequency and amount of the electric cigarette over a certain period of time was drawn. However, since almost all smokers of the electric cigarette were previously users of an ordinary smoking tobacco product, it is particularly important for these users to know at which time a break should be made in inhaling the nicotine-containing contents of an electric cigarette.
Darstellung der Erfindung Presentation of the invention
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine elektrische Zigarette zu schaffen, welche die vorgenannten Nachteile ausräumt und welche geeignet ist, dem Nutzer die Dauer, Häufigkeit und Menge der Nutzung der elektrischen Zigarette in geeigneter Form zu signalisieren. The present invention is based on the object to provide an electric cigarette, which eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and which is suitable to signal the user the duration, frequency and amount of use of the electric cigarette in a suitable form.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die voranstehende Aufgabe gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 in Verbindung mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen, elektrischen Zigarette sind in den abhängigen Unteransprüchen angegeben. According to the invention the above object is achieved according to the preamble of
Erfindungsgemäß ist eine elektrische Zigarette der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der mindestens eine Zugsensor zur Erfassung einer Anzahl an Luftströmen und/oder einer Menge eines oder mehrerer Luftströme am Mundstück ausgelegt ist, wobei ein Signalgeber vorgesehen ist, welcher in Abhängigkeit von der Anzahl an Luftströmen und/oder von der Menge eines oder mehrerer Luftströme ein optisches, akustisches und/oder haptisches Signal auslöst. According to the invention, an electric cigarette of the type mentioned is characterized in that the at least one train sensor for detecting a number of air streams and / or a quantity of one or more air streams is designed on the mouthpiece, wherein a signal generator is provided which depends on the number of Air currents and / or from the amount of one or more air streams an optical, acoustic and / or haptic signal triggers.
Ein Signalgeber kann vorliegend auch ein Informationsgeber sein, welcher ein Signal in Form einer optisch dargestellten Information bereitstellt. Hierzu kann an der elektrischen Zigarette vorzugsweise ein Display (bspw. eine LED-Anzeige) vorgesehen sein. In the present case, a signal generator can also be an information transmitter which provides a signal in the form of optically represented information. For this purpose, a display (for example an LED display) can preferably be provided on the electric cigarette.
Ganz besonders bevorzugt erfolgt das Auslösen des Signals innerhalb eines definierten Zeitraums, wobei nach Ablauf dieses Zeitraums die Messung von vorne beginnt. Most preferably, the triggering of the signal takes place within a defined period of time, after which period the measurement begins again.
Ganz besonders vorteilhaft ist vorgesehen, eine Signalgebung mit der Maßgabe auszulösen, dass durch den Nutzer das Äquivalent einer Anzahl an Luftströmen und/oder einer Menge eines oder mehrerer Luftströme eines rauchenden Tabakerzeugnisses (bspw. einer Zigarette, einer Zigarre, einer Pfeife oder dergleichen) verbraucht wurde. It is particularly advantageous to trigger signaling with the proviso that the user consumes the equivalent of a number of air streams and / or an amount of one or more air streams of a smoking tobacco product (eg a cigarette, a cigar, a whistle or the like) has been.
Zur Erfassung und Auswertung der durch den mindestens einen Zugsensor erfassten Daten und zur Steuerung des Signalgebers ist vorzugsweise eine elektronische Steuereinheit vorgesehen. For detecting and evaluating the data detected by the at least one tension sensor and for controlling the signal transmitter, an electronic control unit is preferably provided.
Der Signalgeber löst vorzugsweise eine Vibration an der elektrischen Zigarette aus, welche dem Nutzer signalisiert, dass er nun eine definierte Anzahl an Zügen und/oder eine bestimmte Menge (bspw. an Nikotin) zu sich genommen hat. The signal generator preferably triggers a vibration on the electric cigarette, which signals the user that he has now taken a defined number of trains and / or a certain amount (eg of nicotine).
Die Menge und/oder Anzahl etc. kann vorzugsweise auch oder alternativ auf einem Display angezeigt werden. The amount and / or number, etc. may preferably also or alternatively be displayed on a display.
Die Signalgebung kann vorteilhafterweise mittels eines an der elektrischen Zigarette vorgesehenen Schalters vom Nutzer ein- oder ausgeschalten werden. The signaling can advantageously be switched on or off by means of a provided on the electric cigarette switch by the user.
