The position and angle of the main body 110 .

1D to 1F are plan views of the switching process of the electronic cigarette device of FIG. 1A intention. The operation process of switching the electronic cigarette device 100 from the storage mode to the use mode is briefly described below.

Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1C , when the electronic cigarette device 100 is in the storage mode, the second end E2 of the main body 110 protrudes outside the rotating flip 120 and the two safety buttons 123 are respectively located on the second end of the two chutes SG close to the second end E2 . At the stop position P2, the cartridge 111 is located in the U-shaped hollow slot body AS of the rotating flip cover 120.

Referring to FIG. 2B and FIG. 1D , an external force is first applied to the two safety buttons 123 to release the fixed state of the rotating flip 120 and the main body 110 , and then the two safety buttons 123 of the rotating flip 120 are driven to slide along the two chutes SG to be close to the first end The first stop position P1 of E1. Referring to FIG. 1E , the rotating flip 120 is turned 90 degrees relative to the main body 110 toward the first rotation direction T1 with the two safety buttons 123 as the center (the main body 110 and the pivot portion 121 of the rotating flip 120 are perpendicular to each other), and the cover portion 122 is away from the main body 110 At this time, the cartridge 111 protrudes outside the rotating flip cover 120 .

1F, the two safety buttons 123 of the rotating flip cover 120 are slid along the two sliding grooves SG to the second stop position P2 close to the second end E2. At this time, the angle between the rotating flip cover 120 and the main body 110 is still 90 degrees ( The main body 110 and the rotating flip cover 120 are perpendicular to each other). Finally, referring to FIG. 1B , the rotating flip cover 120 is turned 180 degrees relative to the main body 110 in the first rotation direction T1 with the two safety buttons 123 as the center (the main body 110 and the rotating flip cover 120 overlap each other), and the cartridge 111 protrudes and rotates The second end E2 of the main body 110 outside the flip 120 is located in the U-shaped hollow slot body AS, and the second end E2 is shielded by the cover portion 122 to switch to the use mode.

Referring to FIGS. 1A , 2A and 2B, each safety button 123 has a press part 1231 , a mandrel 1232 and a clamping part 1233 . The pressing portion 1231 is disposed on the corresponding first surface S1 and partially covers the corresponding sliding slot SG, and the width dimension of the pressing portion 1231 is larger than that of the sliding slot SG. One end of the mandrel 1232 is connected to the pressing portion 1231 and passes through the corresponding sliding slot SG, and the clamping portion 1233 is connected to the other end of the mandrel 1232 and located in the main body 110 .

Further, referring to FIG. 1B and FIG. 2A , the rotating flip cover 120 has an elastic member 130 . The elastic member 130 is disposed in the main body 110 and two clamping portions 1233 are respectively connected at both ends thereof. Referring to FIG. 2A , in the initial state, the elastic member 130 pushes the two clamping portions 1233 respectively, so that the two clamping portions 1233 respectively contact the two inner walls IS of the main body 110 and generate frictional force to fix the rotating flip 120 on the main body 110 And cannot produce movement and rotation. Referring to FIG. 2B , in the pressing state, the two pressing portions 1231 push the two clamping portions 1233 along the two mandrels 1232 and the elastic member 130 is compressed, so that the two clamping portions 1233 are separated from the two inner wall surfaces IS of the main body 110 to release the respective clamping portions 1233 . The frictional force generated by the clamping portion 1233 and each inner wall surface IS makes the rotating flip cover 120 suitable for moving and rotating relative to the main body 110 .

In addition, the elastic member 130 is squeezed by the two clamping portions 1233 to accumulate elastic force. When the external force is released, the elastic member 130 will release the elastic force to push the two clamping portions 1233 to contact the two inner wall surfaces IS of the main body 110, so that the two safety buttons 123 automatically returns to the original position, and restores the initial state in which the rotating flip cover 120 and the main body 110 are fixed to each other. Because the rotating flip cover 120 of this embodiment needs to press the two safety buttons 123 to slide and rotate relative to the main body 110 , it can prevent children from accidentally touching and exposing the cartridge 111 .
