The present invention relates to an electric lighter having an internal fuel reservoir, and more particularly to a lighter used for ignition of cigars, cigarettes, pipe tobacco, and the like.

It is well known that when sparking a lighter using butane sesame, an electrical spark discharge is used to ignite the fuel, and a device that has already caused the capacitor to discharge into the primary winding of the boost transformer to generate the high voltage needed to generate the spark. Known. In order to discharge the capacitor quickly, a method of using one transistor as an electronic switch has been proposed, but the problem of charging the capacitor immediately before ignition has not been solved. A method of charging a capacitor is usually used incorporating a battery in a writer.

However, such batteries have a very high internal resistance and are particularly small for pocket lighters. Moreover, it can not be ignored that the internal resistance limits the charge of the capacitor when the battery is exhausted. In addition, when the lighter is continuously ignited continuously, the charging time should be charged as soon as possible because the charging time requires at least a certain period of time from the ignition operation. If charging of the capacitor does not begin until the user starts turning on the lighter, there is a time delay sufficient for the capacitor to be fully charged before ignition. Therefore, it is difficult because a significant delay occurs in turning on the writer. Some lighters have a lighter that has a capacitor connected to the battery circuit even when the lighter is not used.

However, a short circuit caused by a capacitor causes a continuous discharge effect on the battery, thereby shortening the life of the battery. To minimize this short circuit, high quality capacitors such as tantalum can be used, but they are expensive. This permanent connection of the battery eliminates the delay caused by the first use of the lighter but does not improve the minimum time between successive ignition operations.

In the case of table lighters, a separate switch has been devised so that the capacitor can be connected to the circuit only when the lighter is lifted from the desk.

While such a device has the effect of extending the life of the battery, it does not solve the problem of combusting ignition operation.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to improve the electro-ignition writer to improve all these disadvantages.

The lighter according to the present invention is a lighter which is capable of electrically igniting from one or several cells, and includes a fuel ignition energy storage capacitor, and has a higher voltage sufficient to charge the capacitor during use. It is characterized by containing a device that can be changed to.

Furthermore, the semiconductor switch device prevents recharging of the capacitor so that the spark can continue to be ignited after discharge until the ignition can be operated by hand.

The device for changing the voltage has an inverter, that is, a device for converting DC current into AC and is connected to a stop. The inverter has a pulverized light oscillator which is connected to the boost transformer.

The feedback of the oscillator can be obtained from the feedback wire of the transformer, and the output of the transformer can be connected to the constant current. One resistor is provided to discharge the capacitor into the pulse transformer while controlling the trigger diode in response to the voltage across the capacitor.

In the lighter structure according to the present invention, it is preferable that the inverter, the capacitor and the pulse transformer are arranged in series with the lighter longitudinal axis, and the butane gas fuel tank in the lighter can be molded according to the shape of the accessory.

The present invention is also applied to a table top lighter. In this case, since the space is large, the battery and the fuel capacity can also be used.

Parts having a flatter structure than pocket lighters are more desirable for table top lighters.

The term "smoker's lighter" means any one of the lighter assemblies to be placed in the lighter case.

In the present invention, a magnet is used for the device for holding the lid of the lighter to be closed. In particular, the magnet is preferably adapted to act on a spring type lid made of magnetic material.

When explaining the present invention based on the accompanying drawings as follows.

The drawings are not all uniform in size, and many are omitted.

In FIG. 1, the shape of the butane sesame lita is shown, which has a dented rectangular case (1), which has a spring cap (2) and a base tube (3), and a slide switch ( 4), the flame control wheel 5, the burner assembly 6 and the ignition electrode 7 are shown. The lid 2 is closed by the magnet 8 when the lighter is not in use. Luxurious decorations can be found on the exterior of the Laita. In particular, the case 1 and the base plate 3 may be made of precious metal. The lid 2 is made of a part of the magnetic material to be attracted by the magnet 8, but may be plated with a precious metal.

When the lid 2 is closed, press the slide switch 4 toward the base of the lighter to operate the lighter, the lid 2 is opened, electrical contact is made in the lighter, the valve 6 in the burner is opened, and the ignition crack is ejected. . The slide switch 4 is kept in a depressed state, and soon sparks are generated on the ignition electrode 7 to ignite the crack.

The ejection state of the sesame can be adjusted in advance by using the flame control wheel (5). In the case of pipe tobacco, the fire of Seulsu is higher than that of cigarette cigarettes.

After using the lighter, the lid 2 is closed by hand and the magnet 8 keeps the lid closed.

Closing the lid 2 stops the outflow of dust from the burner part 6.

Now that you have a general overview of Litera, let's go over the parts in detail.

In FIG. 2, the internal structure of the lighter has been described, and parts thereof are omitted. Most internal space is occupied by the sesame tank 9, and the electronic circuit 10 is contained in the epoxy resin. The electronic circuit 10 is connected to the switch contact line 11 and the transformer 12.

The electronic circuit 10 is contained in a quadrangular box shape together with a terminal as shown in FIG. 3. The terminals are used to control two batteries in a plastic tray (not shown), which contains a device that connects the batteries. The battery is directly connected and the positive electrode of the directly connected battery is connected to the case 1. The arrangement of the components in the circuit 10 can be seen in figures 4a, b and c.

Figures 4a are arranged in a direction consistent with that of Figure 2.

4c and 4b are shown in FIG. 4c, and FIG. 4b is showing the side and 4c is the end surface. Reference numerals are the same as those in FIG. 18.

[Lid]

5 is a view of the lid holder, and the dotted spring 14 holds the lid 2 open, with the lid at the position of 15.

As can be seen in FIG. 6, the magnet 8 is U-shaped, with the N pole 16 and the S pole 17 formed therein, the base portion 18 being contained in the rectangular seamstone 19, and the screw. 20 and 21 fix the magnet S in the fitting 19. The slide switch 4 is attracted to the fitting 19 by the positioning projection 22 suitable for pushing, and the positioning line projection 22 is inserted into the hole 23 in the fitting 19.

7 shows a mechanical arrangement in which the slide switch 4 is parallel to the upper position (the magnet 8 is omitted here). Helical compression springs 24 rotate around the tube 39 in the same axial direction and at the bottom press and come 25 located below the fittings 19.

Here the tube forms part of the burner. The fitting 29 is formed so as to match the shape of the tube 39 in the groove 26 position, and the fitting is provided so that the fitting can be slid in the vertical direction. The case 1 is recessed at the position of (27) and provides a view through which the slide switch 4 can slide. The slide switch 4 is located above, and when the lid 2 is closed, the pole of the magnet 8 comes into contact with the bottom view of the lid. As described above, the lid 2 contained in a part of the magnet remains closed by the force of the magnetic force that overcomes the action of the spring 14.

When the slide switch 4 is pressed, the pole of the magnet 8 is pulled away from the lid, and the force of the spring 14 is stronger than the dragging force of the magnet, so that the lid is bouncing open and has a vertical position.

Close the lid (2) by hand.

[Fuel tank]

The fuel tank is described in detail up to 10-14 degrees.

The fuel tank is molded from a plastic material under the trade name "DELRIN". Burner assembly 6 and filling valve 40 are formed when the tank is manufactured. Burner tubes and filling valves can be manufactured by conventional methods. The burner assembly is preferably used in the form disclosed in British Patent No. 822,374 or 828,813, and the filling valve is also recommended in the British Patent No. 784,357 or 966,967.

The fuel tank 9 contains holes 41 for receiving the switch components. The wall thickness of the tank is 0.04 inches.

[Base plate]

8 and 9, the base plate 3 and the apparatus supporting it are described in detail. In FIG. 8, the lower end of the case 1 is provided with recessed portions 28 and 29, and the base plate 3 has a protruding portion 30 to enter the protruding portion 29. have. The base plate 3 has a groove 32, and the protrusion 31 is placed thereon. This stretchable protrusion 31 is made of short spring-like wire having a diameter slightly smaller than the width of the groove 32. The shape of the wire is Ω, one end 33 is fixed in the groove 32, which is to press the upper wall of the groove to the lower wall to bend the upper wall to catch the wire. The screw hole 34 is made in the base plate 3 to receive the screw 35.

When the screw 35 is moved out of the hole, the elasticity of the wire moves its end 36 to slightly move to the right side of the position occupied by the central axis of the screw 35, so that the protrusion 31 is stretched and the base plate ( 3) away from the case (1) and at the same time allow the battery to be recharged or recharged. Inserting the screw 35 will change the position of the end of the wire (36) and the projection (31) enters into the recessed portion (29). At this time, this portion 29 allows the base plate 3 to be held in the case 1.

The base plate can use another form. For example, a base plate in which the base plate, which is made to slide while overcoming elasticity, is released may be used, and a lockable base plate may also be used. In some cases, holes and dust caps can be provided in the base plate to recharge the fuel in the lighter without removing the base plate.

[Pulse adjustment principle]

Smoker Laita's awakening principle is well known and needs no explanation. As described above, the burner assembly 6 may use the one introduced in British Patent No. 822,374 or 828,813. In FIG. 10, the fuel tank 9, the flame adjusting wheel 5 and the burner assembly 6 are shown, and other components are omitted. In the burner assembly, a rod 42 with a spring mounted at the center thereof is assembled in the tube 39 in the same shaft. The rod 42 is movable in the longitudinal axis against the spring action to push the rod 42 upwards.

The rod 42 is connected to the valve, which is a valve that allows the sieve to be discharged from the fuel tank through the tube 39 when the rod 42 is positioned above.

The end of the rod is closed when the lid 2 of the lighter is closed, the rod 42 is pressed against the action of the spring and the valve is closed. When the lid is opened, the rod 42 is turned up, the valve is opened, and the smash flows out of the fuel tank. Closing the lid once again pushes the rod against the spring and shuts off the sesame. By opening and closing the lid of the lighter by such a device, it is possible to freely and effectively control the leakage of sesame.

The flame control of the lighter is described in FIGS. 15 and 16.

Flame control is a technique already well known to smokers and lighter manufacturers, so detailed description thereof will be omitted. The flame control wheel (5) is made of plastic material, has a surface with a node to adjust the excitation when using a lighter, and there is one hole (44) having a protrusion (45) to push up on the screw member (47) It is intended to be fitted with the shaft 46. The crack from the fuel tank 9 flows into the tube 39 by spots 48 in the mold 49 and then passes through the wick 50 and passes through the central passage 51 in the compression member 52. After passing through to the tube (39) through the valve. The wick 50 is raised between the compression member 52 and the seat containing the rubber pad 53 and the lower compression member 54. The screw member 47 has a thin wire 55 on the outside thereof, and the thin wire is intended to enter together with the thin wire so that it can enter. When operating the flame control wheel 5 as described above, the screw member 47 is moved along the axis and the wick 50 is compressed by the amount of movement of the flame control wheel.

If the wick is compressed too much, it is difficult to control the squirt ejection state because the wick does not pass well through the wick.

[Electronic circuit]

Battery E is connected to the ignition system of the lighter according to claim 18 also, the system contains the ignition switch SW _1. Transistors VT ₁ and VT ₂ and which constitute the inverter to the transformer T _1, the inverter control circuit transistor VT was configured by Et in ₃ and VT _4, resistors R _1, R _2, R ₃ capacitors C ₂ and C ₃ spread ( The full-wave bridge rectifier consists of diodes D ₁ , D ₂ , D ₃ , and D ₄ .

The trigger circuit consists of diode D ₆ connected to resistors R ₄ and R ₆ , and the discharge circuit consists of one capacitor C ₁ , a discharge transformer T ₂ , and a thyristor D ₅ ignition electrode I _E. When the switch SW ₁ is operated, an electric spark occurs at the ignition electrode I _E to ignite the fuel of the lighter. The numerical values of the forms suitable for each component of this circuit are shown in the following table.

Transformer T ₂ is recommended to use a transformer as disclosed in British Patent No. 5,981 / 72.

The inverter uses something that can be shortened to allow time to charge capacitor C ₁ . In this case, a silicon transistor with a low collector-emitter saturation voltage at the operating current can be selected and connected to a toroidal magnetoresistive transformer. Bridge rectifier diodes should be chosen for higher frequency to achieve higher efficiency. In this case, the full wave rectifier arrangement is superior to the half wave arrangement. The collectors of transistors VT ₁ and VT ₂ are respectively connected to the primary winding P ₁ of transformer T ₁ and their emitters are connected together to the negative pole of battery E.

The bases of transistors VT ₁ and VT ₂ are connected to the ends of the primary winding of transformer T ₁ , respectively.

Transistors VT ₃ and VT ₄ are connected to transistors VT ₁ and VT ₂ to adjust the base current to control the operation of the inverter. The inverter functions as a multi-pumped square wave oscillator together with a transformer to form the necessary feedback.

The cathode of the transformer T to the battery as the secondary winding is the cathode and the anode of the diode D ₂ of the can at one end be connected to the cathode and the anode of the diode D ₄ of the diode D _1, the other end to the diode D ₂ of ₁ It is connected. The cathodes of diodes D ₃ and D ₄ are both connected to one end of trigger diode D _6, the other end of which is connected to one end of resistor R _{4 and} the other end of which is connected to the cathode of cell E via resistor R ₅ . .

Thyristor D ₅ has a positive electrode connected to the negative electrodes of diodes D ₃ and D ₄ , and a negative electrode connected to the negative electrode of battery E.

The trigger electrode of thyristor D ₅ is connected to the junction of resistors R ₄ and R ₅ . The full wave rectifier of transformer T ₁ appears past thyristor D ₅ .

The components VT ₃ , VT ₄ , R ₁ , R ₂ , R ₃ , C ₂ , and C ₃ constitute an inverter control circuit. The emitter of transistor VT ₃ is connected to the center terminal of the primary winding P ₂ of transformer T ₁ , and the collector is connected to the base of transistor VT ₄ . The collector of transistor VT ₄ is also connected to the base of transistor VT ₃ and is connected to one end of capacitor C ₂ , one end of capacitor C ₃ and one end of R _{3 to} the resistor. The emitter of transistor VT ₄ is connected to one end of resistor R ₁ and the other end to the end of capacitor C ₂ remote from the base of transistor VT ₃ . The end of resistor R ₃ , which is far from the base of transistor VT ₃ , is connected to the negative electrode of battery E. The resistor R ₂ is connected to the negative electrode of the cell from the point junction of the resistor R ₁ and the capacitor C ₂ .

The common ends of the resistors R ₁ , R ₂ and capacitor C ₂ are connected to the center terminal of the primary winding P ₁ of the transformer T ₁ and to the pole of the switch SW ₁ remote from the cell E.

At the end of the capacitor C ₃ far from the transistor VT ₃ is a diode _{D 1, D 2, D 3} , the amount of bridging rat rectifier circuit is formed by a D ₄ (兩) pole output (negative D ₃ and D ₄₎ Connected.

The positive electrode of the electrolytic capacitor C ₁ is connected to the negative electrodes of diodes D ₃ and D _{4 and} the negative electrode is connected to one end of the primary winding of the transformer T ₂ .

The other end of the primary winding is connected to the negative electrode of battery E. One end of the secondary winding of transformer T ₂ is connected to the negative electrode of battery E. The other _end of the secondary winding of transformer T ₂ is connected to the ignition electrode 7. The other ignition electrode is constituted by a rod 42 connected to the anode of battery E.

The positive electrode of the battery E is connected to the case 1.

When the switch SW ₁ is closed, the positive electrode of the battery E is connected to the apex end of the capacitor C ₂ , and a wave to the positive electrode appears at the base of the transistor VT ₃ . The emitter of the transistor VT ₃ is connected to the cathode of the battery E by the center terminal of the primary winding P ₂ , so that a wave directed to the anode conducts the transistor VT ₃ . As a result the collector current of the transistor ₃ VT comes out from the collector of transistor ₄ VT to VT ₄ to conduct. Collector current coming from transistor VT ₄ enters the base of transistor VT ₃ and more current is amplified from the base of transistor VT ₄ . Thus, the transistors VT ₃ and VT ₄ form a pair of auxiliary switches, and the transistors VT ₃ and VT ₄ are turned on by closing the switch SW ₁ .

Transistor VT ₃ continues to oscillate as long as the base current enters transistors VT ₁ and VT ₂ of the inverter and is closed to supply the collector current of switch SW ₁ , and as long as transistor VT ₃ supplies the base current to the transistor of the inverter. do. If the inverter is to function sine wave output that appears at the secondary winding S ₁ of the transformer T ₁ it is shown at about 40KH _Z frequencies 70V amplitude.

Of course, the output of the circuit drops slightly when the battery is old.

Inverters and rectifiers vary from a 2-3 volts level to a fairly high level. The full-wave rectification output of the secondary winding S ₁ charges the capacitor C ₁ through the primary winding of the transformer T2. Trigger diode D ₆ remains nonconductive until the breakdown voltage is reached, and the voltage drop across resistors R ₄ and R ₅ is zero when the voltage across trigger diode D ₆ is less than the breakdown voltage. You will reach a point.

When voltage across trigger diode D ₆ becomes equal to the breakdown voltage, capacitor C ₁ will soon reach the point where it is charged, diode D ₆ will become conductive and a signal will appear at the junction of resistors R ₄ and R ₅ so that thyristor D Invite ₅ to fall. Capacitor C ₁ quickly discharges through the primary windings of transformer T ₂ and thyristor D ₅ , and a very high voltage (about 7 KV) is induced in the secondary winding of transformer T ₂ . If the secondary voltage is high, a spark for igniting fuel occurs between the ignition electrodes I _E. Energy required to ignite the lighter of butane kkaeseu 2mj is about, is at least 15mj is stored in the capacitor C ₁ in the current circuit. While the energy used during sparking depends on the efficiency of transistor VT _2, the amount of energy stored in capacitor C ₁ is more than enough to compensate for the loss in transformer T ₂ .

Capacitor C ₁ with high charge rate can be used by using trigger diode D ₆ and thyristor D ₅ .

This is because the output voltage of the inverter and rectifier is greater than the maximum operating voltage of capacitor C ₁ . The advantage is extremely advantageous because the magnitude of any capacitor increases in proportion to the magnitude of the operating voltage. Discharge of capacitor C ₁ produces a negative spike which is applied to the base of transistor VT ₃ via capacitor C ₃ .

This negative spark causes the transistors VT ₃ and VT ₄ of the inverter control circuit to be turned off. Eventually the flow of base current to the transistors of the inverter is interrupted and the inverter stops oscillating. Negative sparks charge capacitor C ₂ under conditions that allow transistors VT ₃ and VT ₄ to be turned off. This charge is exhausted through the resistor associated with capacitor C ₂ , but transistors VT ₃ and VT ₄ remain OFF until a positive waveform is applied to the base of transistor VT ₃ by manufacturing switch SW ₁ .

To ensure that the spark can be discharged, switch SW ₁ must be operated continuously so that the multiple oscillator functions long enough for the voltage on capacitor C ₁ . Once capacitor C ₁ discharges, the inverter turns off. Once the switch has been started, the inverter will run for enough time to form a spark, and soon after that the user will turn it off or on.

The switch action does not need to be mechanically timed. When in contact, the inverter has enough energy to generate an ignition spark and only acts while charging the capacitor. That is, after the capacitor is sufficiently charged, there is no more energy loss. The time it takes to charge the capacitor and the time it takes to form a spark is longer as the battery ages, which suggests replacement of the battery. However, even if the charging time is considerably longer, the ignition system can be used without any problem.

[Principle of Electronicization]

2 and 14 illustrate the principle of the switch SW ₁ . A helical compression spring (not shown) is positioned in the hole 41 (Fig. 14) so that the switch connecting line 11 (Fig. 2) is leaned, and the contact pin 56 is a hole away from the connecting line 11 It is inserted at the end of 41 and is biased to contact the inner surface of the slide switch 4 by a spring. The slide switch 4 is all-in-one, the front face is corrugated, and the inner surface has an area 58 made of a conductive material. The conductive area 58 is connected to the positive electrode of the cell through the case 1. When the slide switch 4 is placed on the top, the contact pin is brought into contact with the area 58, as when the slide switch 4 is pressed, and the line 11 is connected through a spring in the hole 41. ) And contact with the electronic circuit components again. The high voltage section of the circuit must be carefully insulated to prevent unwanted discharge.

If the insulation state around the ignition electrode 7 is seen, the shield 57 (FIGS. 1 and 17) is made of magnetic material or heat-resistant insulating material and is assembled around the ignition electrode 7 to prevent such unnecessary discharge. I'm blocking you. The burner assembly 6 is connected to the positive electrode of the battery E through the fitting 19 and the case 1.

As described above, the method of the present invention has many advantages over the conventional writer, and in particular, the inverter and the rectifier can be installed to change the voltage level supplied by the battery to a higher level. It has the advantage of being able to store a certain amount of energy even with a much smaller capacitor, which is good for charging with bays.

This provides a very economical advantage in terms of space inside the lighter (the length of the lighter in Fig. 7 is 7 cm) and it is also possible to use low voltage electricity which is readily available at relatively low cost. In addition, by using an inverter, it is possible to quickly charge the capacitor, which is a necessary condition for repeated operation of the lighter, and has the advantage of not causing any loss or load on the battery when not in use. In addition, the use of trigger diodes allows the capacitors to be charged faster, and the use of thyristors allows for faster discharge of the capacitors without causing problems during storage. Conductive until zero).

Many modifications may be made based on the teachings of the invention.

For example, the contents of the present invention can be used to prepare a desk lighter.

In the desk lighter, an accessory may be used in a squat arrangement. If necessary, the switch contact may be mechanically replaced instead of the thyristor, and the trigger diode may be omitted. However, it is advisable to use an autoignition device. Transistors with opposite conductivity as described above can be used, and the arrangement of the inverter can also be varied.

For example, an oscillator using only one transistor may be used. The inverter can use a Pietjo electronic solid-state transformer. The parts of the writer can be made in the form of integrated circuits. The battery for igniting the writer may use one or several rechargeable batteries.
