5, a heating cap of the electronic cigarette C may be inserted into the first electronic cigarette input port 122 for a cleaning operation. Thereafter, the user can operate the operation unit 150 to drive the cleaning operation.

When the start of the cleaning operation is input, the injector 140 may receive the cleaning liquid in the second body 170 through the end 144 of the injector 140. At this time, since the second filtration unit 172 filters the foreign substance in the cleaning liquid, a cleaning liquid having a high purity can be provided to the sprayer 140.

Then, the injector 140 may inject the cleaning liquid through the injection nozzle 142. That is, the cleaning liquid can be injected into the heating cap through the injection nozzle 142.

Accordingly, the foreign matter remaining in the heating cap can be released by the cleaning liquid. The injected cleaning liquid and the free foreign material can flow through the clearance passage. The cleaning liquid and foreign matter may return to the interior of the second body 170 through the clearance passage and the opening of the support member 160. [

At this time, the first filtration unit 174 can separate and recover the foreign matter.

That is, the cleaning liquid can flow (F) while sequentially passing through the clearance passage, the opening of the support member 160, the first filtering portion 174, and the second filtering portion 172

The cleaning operation method of the cigarette-type electronic cigarette manager according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above. Hereinafter, the drying operation will be described.

After the cleaning operation, the cleaning liquid may remain in the heating cap. Accordingly, the drying operation can be performed in a continuous operation after the cleaning operation.

6, the heating cap of the cleaned electronic cigarette C may be inserted into the second electronic cigarette input port 132. Referring to FIG. Thereafter, the user can operate the operation unit 150 to drive the drying operation.

When the start of the drying operation is input, the blower 150 can rotate to generate wind. The wind can vaporize the remaining cleaning liquid of the heating cap which is injected into the second electronic cigarette inlet 132.

The operation method of the cigarette-type electronic cigarette manager according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above. Hereinafter, a cigarette-type electronic cigarette manager according to a modification of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 7 and 8. Fig. For the sake of convenience of description, a description will be given mainly of the constitution.

FIG. 7 is a frontal view according to a modification of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a view for explaining an operation according to a modification of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, a cigarette-type electronic cigarette manager 100 according to a modification of the present invention includes a support member 160 having a hollow therein, a blower 150 disposed inside the first body 110, And an expansion line 152 for communicating the hollow of the support member 160.

Referring to FIG. 8, according to a modification, the support member 160 may expand or contract in the Z-axis direction. That is, when the wind generated through the blower 150 flows into the hollow inside the support member 160 through the expansion line 152, the support member 160 expands (L1) in the Z-axis direction . In this case, as the support member 160 expands, the injector 140 provided above the support member 160 may also move in the Z-axis direction (L2). Accordingly, the clearance channel provided between the injector 140 and the first electronic cigarette inlet 122 can be closed. That is, the upper end of the injector 140 contacts the end of the first electronic cigarette input port 122, thereby closing the lower portion of the first electronic cigarette input port 122.

In a state where the first electronic cigarette input port 122 is closed by the injector 140, the injector 140 may inject the cleaning liquid toward the heating cap. In this case, the cleaning liquid is not discharged directly through the clearance passage but is filled in the first electronic cigarette inlet 122. As a result, the heating cap is immersed in the cleaning liquid. Since the heating cap has a state of being filled with the cleaning liquid, an environment can be provided in which the foreign matter on the surface of the heating cap can be released from the surface of the heating cap more easily.

Thereafter, the injector 140 may additionally spray the rinse solution and the blower 150 may be stopped. When the additional cleaning liquid is supplied, the injector 140 receives a force in the -Z axis direction because the first electronic cigarette input port 122 exceeds the space that can be accommodated. In addition, when the blower 150 is stopped, the supporting member 160 is contracted because the supporting force of the supporting member 160 is lost, and the injector 140 is also lowered in the -Z axis direction It comes. Accordingly, a clearance passage is formed between the first electronic cigarette inlet 122 and the injector 140. In the state in which the clearance passage is formed, the sprayer 140 ejects the cleaning liquid toward the heating cap to remove the foreign substance, as described above. In addition, drying after cleaning is also the same as described above.

According to the modified embodiment of the present invention described above, the support member 160 is configured to be inflated or contracted to be varied, thereby allowing the heating cap to be immersed in the cleaning liquid when the supporting member 160 is expanded. . Thereafter, when the support member 160 is contracted, the foreign substances on the surface of the heating cap can be easily removed by spraying the cleaning liquid.

At this time, since the expansion and contraction of the support member 160 is performed by using the blower necessary for drying, a compact structure becomes possible.

According to the embodiment of the present invention described above, cleaning and drying can be carried out simultaneously, so that the convenience of the cigarette-type electronic cigarette can be improved.

According to the modified example, the pretreatment step of cleaning can be introduced, so that foreign matter can be removed more smoothly.

Further, the drying and cleaning driving according to one embodiment and the modification of the present invention can be controlled by the control unit.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the scope of the present invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. It will also be appreciated that many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.
