The airflow sensing switch 109 of the electronic cigarette will be described below with reference to the embodiment shown in FIG. Specific structure

The airflow sensing switch 109 allows the atomizer to operate to generate smoke.

Specifically, the air flow sensing switch 109 includes a cylindrical outer casing 301.

The controller is disposed at a first end of the outer casing 301.

A baffle 302 is disposed at the second end of the outer casing 301.

A through hole is provided in the baffle 302.

A hollow metal ram 303 is disposed in the through hole.

A negative pressure chamber 306 is disposed inside the outer casing 301;

More specifically, the controller is located inside or outside of the negative pressure chamber 306. The specific location is not limited in this embodiment.

The specific application process of the airflow sensing switch 109 is as follows:

The user smokes through the mouthpiece 102, wherein the body 101 is threadedly connected to the mouthpiece 102. When the user smokes, the pressure of the negative pressure chamber 306 located in the cylindrical outer casing 301 is reduced, and an air flow is generated in the negative pressure chamber 306, and the sensor 304 senses that the pressure of the negative pressure chamber 306 is reduced, and generates The first pulse signal transmits the first pulse signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller simultaneously outputs a first control signal to turn on the circuit switch where the atomizer is located, causing the atomizer to operate to generate smoke. At the same time, the circuit breaker where the sounder is located is turned on, and the sound generator works to generate a sound of running water. When the user stops smoking, the microcontroller does not detect the electrical signal and turns off the circuit breaker where the atomizer and the sounder are located, thereby stopping the atomizer and the sounder.

Wherein, if the pressure in the negative pressure chamber 306 is increased or a shock is generated by an external force, the sensor

304 does not generate any signal, that is, the negative pressure chamber 306 generates a first pulse signal only by the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure chamber 306 when the user smokes.

The controller and housing 301 have a good seal to ensure good sealing of the negative pressure chamber 306. And the negative pressure chamber 306 maintains air communication with the outside only through the hollow metal ram 302.

In this embodiment, the airflow sensing switch 109 can sense the change of the pressure in the negative pressure chamber 306 when the user smokes, thereby generating a first pulse signal when the pressure of the negative pressure chamber 306 is reduced, and the first pulse signal is used to make the micro pulse. The controller turns on the circuit switch where the atomizer is located, so that the atomizer works normally to generate smoke, thereby making the smoking process of the user more realistic.
