Hereinafter, a method and an operation principle of the cigarette-type electronic cigarette machine 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8. FIG.

- Cap portion  Combining step

First, the user who wants to smoke connects the cap part 130 to the body part 110. That is, when the cap part 130 is disposed at the end of the body part 110 and then pressurized, the cap part 130 moves toward the body part 110 side. At this time, the plurality of heating rods 113 and the fixing pins 114 are accommodated in the cap portion 130 while passing through the receiving holes 136 of the base plate 135.

The second protruding portion 114b protruding outward from the fixing pin 114 moves while being guided by the inner wall of the cap portion 130 in the coupling process of the cap portion 130. [ When the second projection 114b reaches the second inner wall surface 131, the second projection 114b is pressed by the inner diameter reduction of the cap portion 130, and the fixing pin 114 is elastically deformed.

5, when the second projection 114b is received in the engagement groove 133, the additional entry of the cap portion 130 is stopped. At this time, when the second projection 114b is received in the coupling groove 133, the fixing pin 114, which has been elastically deformed due to an increase in the inner diameter of the cap 130, is restored to a circular shape.

- cigarette insertion step

When the cigarette is inserted into the cap part 130, the cigarette C enters the space guided by the fixing pin 114.

5, the user applies force to the cigarette until the end of the cigarette C contacts the base plate 135 in contact with the heating rod 113, so that the cigarette C is heated Is inserted and fixed on the rod (113).

At this time, since the cigarette (C) is inserted into the plurality of heating rods 113, the contact area between the heating rods 113 and the cigarette C is increased, so that not only the fixing force is improved but also the heating rods 113 are uniformly So that the phenomenon that the cigarette (C) is heated only in the local area can be minimized. The details of the effect of the heating rod 113 will be described later.

- cigarette fixing step

6, when the insertion of the cigarette C is completed, the cap part 130 is further moved toward the body part 110 side. That is, when the cap portion 130 is moved while the second projection portion 114b is received in the coupling groove 133 and the cigarette is accommodated in the space formed by the fixing pins 135, the second projection portion 114b is engaged with the coupling groove 133, and is brought into close contact with the third inner wall surface 134.

In this process, while the inner diameter of the cap portion 130 decreases, the fixing pin 135 is elastically deformed while the third inner wall surface 134 presses the second protrusion 114b, and the first protrusion 114a is brought into close contact with the cigarette do.

That is, the second protrusion 114b having the greatest extent of protrusion outward from the fixing pin 114 is brought into contact with the third inner wall surface 134 in the process of fully coupling the cap portion 130 to the body 110 side And the third inner wall surface 134 presses the second protrusion 114b toward the center of the cigarette C so that the end of the fixing pin, that is, the end on the first protrusion 114a side is in close contact with the cigarette C Thereby generating a firm fixing force.

The cigarette C can be more firmly fixed since the plurality of fixing pins 114 arranged to surround the cigarette C press the cigarette C in the direction of the center, Thereby minimizing discomfort.

That is, in the present invention, the cigarette (C) is fixed by a plurality of arrangements of the heating rods (113), and is fixed by the pressing force of the fixing pin (114) Since the cigarette is more firmly fixed in the fixed manner, it is possible to prevent the cigarette (C) from being unintentionally released during smoking.

- heating step

When the fixing of the cigarette C and the coupling of the cap part 120 are completed, the power supply part 140 is connected to the body part 110. That is, by fastening the fastening terminal 143 of the power supply unit 140 to the power terminal 120 of the body 110, the battery B accommodated in the power supply unit 140 is electrically connected to the heating rod 113 do.

After the connection of the power supply unit 140 is completed, if the user controls power supply through the power supply control unit 115, the power of the power supply unit 140 side is supplied to the heating rod 113 side. When power is supplied to the heating rod 113, the cigarette C is instantaneously heated.

The above-mentioned method of heating the cigarette (C) of the present invention will be described in more detail.

7, when a high-voltage power source of the power supply unit 140 side is supplied to the heating rod 113 side through the control of the power control unit 115 of the user, as shown in Fig. 7, The rods 113 are paired with each other and one of the pair of heating rods 113 facing each other serves as a cathode and the other serves as an anode and the cigarette C inserted therein functions as a resistor, The tobacco (C) is instantaneously heated. The power supply control unit 115 controls the voltage condition such that instantaneous heating occurs.

The user can smoke by using the instantly heated cigarette C as soon as the power control unit 115 is operated. Particularly, since the fixing pins 114 are configured to allow the fluid to flow through the spaced spaces therebetween, it is advantageous that the air required for smoking and the exhaust of gas after smoking are smooth.

- Tobacco departure stage

As shown in FIG. 8, the user releases the cap unit 130 from the body 110 when smoking is completed. At this time, since the base plate 135 inside the cap unit 130 is separated from the cigarette C in a state of supporting the cigarette C, the cigarette C can be removed from the apparatus without being directly contacted. Particularly, since the base plate 135 is disassociated with the by-product such as the cigarette (C) as well as the cigarette (C), it is possible to prevent the unnecessary residue from remaining around the heating rod (113).

- How to replace cigarettes

Meanwhile, when smoking is desired after smoking, the cigarette may be inserted into the cigarette after completely disengaging or reinstalling the cap part 130 from the body part 110, in addition to the following method.

That is, after the smoking is completed, the cap portion 130 is moved in a direction away from the body portion 110. At this time, when the second protruding portion 114b enters the engaging groove 133, the movement of the cap portion 130 is stopped.

When the second projection 114b is inserted into the coupling groove 113, the fixing pin 114 is restored to a circular shape and the space between the fixing pins 114 is opened, The fixing is released.

The user removes the cigarette C that has been smoked from the heating rod 113 and inserts the new cigarette C into the cap portion 130 and inserts the new cigarette C into the heating rod 113. Next, the cap part 130 is moved back to the body part 110 side so that the second protruding part 114b moves out of the locking groove 133 and enters the third fixing surface 134, .

That is, according to the above-described process, there is an advantage that the tobacco can be exchanged only by a partial movement without completely separating the cap portion 130.

Therefore, in the case of the conventional cigarette-type electronic cigarette machine, a single heating pin is directly heated and heat generated from the heating pin is transferred to the cigarette, so that the preheating and heating time are long. However, according to the present invention, The cigarette (C) is instantly heated to reach a temperature at which smoking is possible, so that smoking can be performed immediately without waiting time.

In addition, since the plurality of heating rods 113 are uniformly arranged on the cross section of the cigarette C, the contact area between the heating rods and the cigarette C is very large, thereby maximizing the heating effect.

Therefore, the cigarette-type electronic cigarette machine 100 according to the present invention is capable of smoking without waiting time like the conventional tobacco cigarette through instant heating, It is robust and easy to fix.

Next, a cigarette-like electronic cigarette machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
