The disclosed embodiments of the present invention have been shown by the foregoing drawings, which will be described in more detail below. The drawings and the written description are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way, and the concept of the present invention is described by those skilled in the art by referring to the specific embodiments.

Detailed ways

Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the same or similar elements in the different figures unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic cigarette. As shown in FIG. 1, the electronic cigarette includes an atomizer 1 and a battery device 2, and the battery device 2 includes a battery 21, a controller 22, and electrical signal control. The lock 23; the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2 are detachably connected; the electrical signal control lock 23 is electrically connected to the battery 21 and the controller 22, respectively; the controller 22 is configured to issue an action control signal including at least one of the following: When the atomizer 1 is detected to be connected to the battery device 2, the control electric signal control lock 23 positions the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2 so that the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2 do not move relative to each other; or When the preset unlocking event is detected, the control electric signal controls the lock 23 to unlock, so that the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2 can perform relative motion. The position of the electric signal control lock 23 can be arbitrarily set as needed. For example, the electric signal control lock 23 can be located at the end of the battery unit 2 near the side of the atomizer 1.

Wherein, the atomizer 1 is a component capable of atomizing smoke, smoke, tobacco or other aerosol-forming substrate to form a smoke; the battery device 2 is used as a power supply control component of the electronic cigarette for the atomizer 1 Provide working voltage. The battery 21 is a component for providing a stable voltage to the operation of various components in the electronic cigarette, and may specifically be a rechargeable battery or a non-rechargeable battery such as a lithium battery, a nickel cadmium battery, a nickel hydrogen battery or the like. The controller 22, that is, the MCU (Micro-Controller Unit) of the electronic cigarette, is used to control the operation of various components in the electronic cigarette.

In the implementation, the atomizer 1 is detachably connected to the battery device 2, for example, by screwing or snapping, and the atomizer 1 is screwed or buckled on the battery device 2 when the user smokes. The advantage of this detachable connection is that when one of the components is not available, the other component can continue to be used. For example, when the atomizer 1 is damaged or there is no smoke oil, another device can be replaced on the battery device 2. The battery device 2 can continue to operate.

The electrical signal control lock 23 is a component that performs a locking and unlocking function under the control of the controller 22 for locking and unlocking the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2. For example, when the controller 22 detects that the atomizer 1 is connected to the battery device 2, the control electric signal controls the lock 23 to perform a locking function, and the electrical signal controls the lock 23 to lock the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2; When the controller 22 detects the preset unlocking event, the control electric signal control lock 23 performs an unlocking function, and the electric signal controls the lock 23 to unlock the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2, wherein the preset unlocking event can be arbitrarily set. For example, it may be a preset digital password, or a preset fingerprint password, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment.

Thus, when the user twists or buckles the atomizer 1 on the battery device 2, the electrical signal control lock 23 positions the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2 so that the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2 cannot be randomly Split. When the child comes into contact with the electronic cigarette, the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2 are not easily split multiple times, and the atomizer 1 or the battery device 2 is damaged. In turn, it can protect electronic cigarettes and extend the life of electronic cigarettes.

The manner in which the electric signal control lock 23 locks the atomizer 1 and the battery unit 2 can be arbitrarily set. The electric signal control lock 23 of the two locking methods is exemplified below, but the embodiment is not limited to the two embodiments.

The side wall is perpendicular; the lock rod 232 is engaged with the rotating shaft 2311 of the motor 231 by a gear; the power supply output end 26 is in the shape of a groove, and the first through hole 261 is matched with the lock rod 232 on the side wall thereof; the controller 22 For detecting that the atomizer 1 is connected to the battery device 2, the control shaft 2311 is rotated in the first direction, so that the end of the lock lever 232 passes through the first through hole 261 and is placed on the side wall of the power supply input end 11. Above, when the preset unlocking event is detected, the control shaft 2311 is rotated in the second direction to separate the end of the lock lever 232 from the side wall of the power supply input end 11.

The lock lever 232 is perpendicular to the side wall of the power supply output end 26. When the motor 231 drives the rotating shaft 2311 to rotate in the first direction, for example, when the first direction is the clockwise rotation direction of the rotating shaft 2311, the lock lever 232 can be perpendicular to the power supply output. In the direction of the side wall of the end 26, the power supply output terminal 26 is moved, so that, as shown in FIG. 3, the lock lever 232 can pass through the first through hole 261 and be placed on the side wall of the power supply input terminal 11 to supply power input. The end 11 exerts a pressure perpendicular to its side, making it difficult for the atomizer 1 to be unscrewed or withdrawn from the battery unit 2. When the motor 231 drives the rotating shaft 2311 to rotate in the second direction, for example, when the second direction is the direction in which the rotating shaft 2311 rotates counterclockwise, the lock lever 232 can be moved away from the power supply output end 26 in a direction perpendicular to the side wall of the power supply output end 26. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the lock lever 232 can pass through the first through hole 261, and is separated from the side wall of the power supply input end 11, so that the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2 are in an unlocked state. At this time, the user can It is relatively easy to separate the atomizer 1 from the battery device 2.

The power supply input end 11 of the atomizer 1 is rotatably and detachably connected to the power supply output end 26 of the battery device 2; the electric signal control lock 23 includes a motor 231 and a lock lever 232, as shown in FIG. 5, the lock lever 232 and the atomizer The bottom surface of 1 is vertical; the lock lever 232 and the rotating shaft 2311 of the motor 231 are meshed by gears; as shown in FIG. 5, the bottom surface of the atomizer 1 is provided with a recess 12, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the battery device a second through hole 27 is provided at a position corresponding to the groove 12 on the outer casing 2; the groove 12 and the second through hole 27 are both matched with the lock lever 232; and the controller 22 is configured to detect the atomizer 1 when connected to the battery device 2, the control shaft 2311 is rotated in the first direction, so that the end of the lock lever 232 is inserted into the groove 12 through the second through hole 27, and when the preset unlocking event is detected, the control shaft 2311 is controlled. The first direction is rotated to pull the end of the lock lever 232 out of the recess 12.

The second embodiment is applicable to the rotary detachable connection between the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2, such as a screw connection, and the following is a description of the screw connection.

In an implementation, the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2 are screwed, and the power supply output end 26 is a tubular structure with external threads, as shown in FIG. 5, protruding from the base of the atomizer 1; the power supply output end 26 It is a cylindrical groove type structure with external threads.

The structural relationship between the motor 231, the rotating shaft 2311 and the lock lever 232 is the same as that of the first embodiment. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the bottom surface of the atomizer 1 is provided. The groove 12, the outer surface of the battery device 2 is provided with a second through hole 27 at a position corresponding to the groove 12, and the groove 12 and the second through hole 27 are matched with the lock lever 232. As shown in FIG. 5, the lock lever 232 is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the atomizer 1. When the motor 231 drives the rotary shaft 2311 to rotate in the first direction, when the first direction is the clockwise rotation direction of the rotary shaft 2311, the lock lever 232 can be Moving in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the atomizer 1, the groove 12 is moved, so that, as shown in FIG. 6, the lock lever 232 can pass through the second through hole 27 and be inserted into the groove 12 of the atomizer 1 when the user When the atomizer 1 is screwed, the lock lever 232 is located in the recess 12 to block the relative rotation of the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2, and further, the atomizer 1 is difficult to be unscrewed from the battery pack 2. When the motor 231 drives the rotating shaft 2311 to rotate in the second direction, and the second direction is the direction in which the rotating shaft 2311 rotates counterclockwise, the lock lever 232 can move away from the recess 12 in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the atomizer 1, thereby As shown in FIG. 7, the lock lever 232 can pass through the second through hole 27 to be separated from the recess 12, so that the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2 are in an unlocked state. At this time, the atomizer can be easily used by the user. 1 is separated from the battery device 2.

In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the operation of the motor 231 is performed under the control of the controller 22. The control mode may be: when the controller 22 detects the locking event, the shaft 2311 of the motor 231 is controlled to be In one direction, such as clockwise, the preset number of turns is rotated, such as one turn; when an unlocking event is detected, the control shaft 2311 rotates the preset number of turns in a second direction opposite to the first direction, such as counterclockwise. The preset number of laps may also be a preset duration, that is, when the electric signal control lock 23 is locked, the control shaft 2311 is rotated in the first direction by a preset duration, such as 2 seconds; when the electric signal control lock 23 is unlocked, The control shaft 2311 is rotated in the second direction by the preset duration.

Optionally, the preset unlocking event may be set as a fingerprint password, and the corresponding electronic cigarette may further include a fingerprint module 25 disposed on the atomizer 1 or the battery device 2, and the fingerprint module 25 and the control respectively The device 22 and the battery 21 are electrically connected. In this embodiment, the fingerprint module 25 is disposed on the battery device 2 as an example. As shown in FIG. 8 , the battery device 2 further includes a switch. The switch is a button 24 in FIG. 8 , and the button 24 is disposed on the battery device 2 . The controller 22 is electrically connected to the controller 22; the fingerprint module 25 is embedded in the button 24 and electrically connected to the controller 22 and the battery 21, respectively.

The fingerprint module 25 may be a fingerprint sensor for collecting fingerprints, and sending the fingerprint signal to the controller 22, and the controller 22 identifies the fingerprint signal and makes a corresponding signal instruction, for example, identifying and passing the unlocking control signal to identify If it does not pass, an error signal is issued or the unlock control signal is not issued.

In an implementation, the switch signal is a button signal of a button or a touch signal of a touch switch. As an example, the switch is a button 24, and the button 24 can serve as a total key for the electronic cigarette to open and close the electronic cigarette. The button 24 can also serve as an ignition key for the electronic cigarette for controlling the opening and closing of the circuit between the atomizer 1 and the battery unit 2. The button 24 can also serve as both the main opening key of the electronic cigarette and the ignition key of the electronic cigarette, that is, the total opening key and the ignition key use the same button, and the different functions are performed by the number of times the user presses the button, in this embodiment The example in which the button and the ignition button are the same button is taken as an example. The fingerprint module 25 and the button 24 are electrically connected to the controller 22. The controller 22 can control the operation and standby of the electronic cigarette by identifying the number of times the fingerprint module 25 sends the fingerprint signal, and control the battery device 2 to supply the working voltage to the atomizer 1. And controlling the locking and unlocking of the electrical signal control lock 23, and the like. For example, when the fingerprint signal detected by the controller 22 for five consecutive times matches the preset reference fingerprint signal, the electronic cigarette performs a standby state or an operating state; when the controller 22 continuously detects the fingerprint signal and the preset reference When the fingerprint signals match, the battery device 2 supplies power to the atomizer 1; when the fingerprint signal detected by the controller 22 three times matches the preset reference fingerprint signal, the electrical signal control lock 23 is in an unlocked state. The specific can be as follows:

Scene (1): When the controller 22 receives the button signal of the button 24, the fingerprint signal detected by the fingerprint module 25 is acquired, and if the N button signals are continuously received, and the fingerprint signals acquired after receiving each button signal are Matching with the pre-stored reference fingerprint signal, the control electrical signal controls the lock 23 to unlock, where N is a preset positive integer.

The specific implementation may be: the controller 22 first detects that the electronic cigarette is in a standby state, and when the user intends to split the atomizer 1 and the battery device 2, the button 24 can be continuously pressed N times, such as three times; the fingerprint module 25 will be N times. The fingerprint signal of each acquisition is sent to the controller 22; when the controller 22 detects that the button 24 is continuously pressed N times, and recognizes that each time the fingerprint signal of N times matches the pre-stored reference fingerprint signal Then, the control electric signal control lock 23 is unlocked; after the electric signal control lock 23 is unlocked, the user can easily separate the atomizer 1 from the battery unit 2.

Scenario (2): When the controller 22 receives the button signal of the button, the controller 22 acquires the fingerprint signal detected by the fingerprint module 25, and if the fingerprint signal matches the pre-stored reference fingerprint signal, the controller 22 controls the battery device 2 The atomizer 1 is continuously supplied with power, and when the button signal ends, the battery unit 2 is controlled to stop supplying power to the atomizer 1.

The specific implementation may be: when the user intends to smoke, the finger can be pressed on the button 24; the fingerprint module 25 sends the collected fingerprint signal to the controller 22; when the controller 22 detects that the button 24 is in the pressed state and recognizes the fingerprint When the signal matches the pre-stored reference fingerprint signal, the circuit between the battery device 2 and the atomizer 1 is controlled to be turned on, and the battery device 2 supplies the operating voltage to the atomizer 1, so that the user can use the electronic cigarette to pump Smoking.

Scenario (3): The controller 22 first detects that the electronic cigarette is in the working state, and then when the controller 22 receives the button signal of the button 24, acquires the fingerprint signal detected by the fingerprint module 25, and if the M button signals are continuously received, And the fingerprint signal acquired after receiving each button signal matches the pre-stored reference fingerprint signal, and then controls the electronic cigarette to enter a standby state from the working state, where M is a preset positive integer, where M is greater than N.

The specific implementation may be: when the user intends to switch the electronic cigarette from the working state, that is, the smoking state to the standby state, the button 24 can be pressed continuously for five times, such as five times; the fingerprint module 25 will collect the fingerprint signal each time. Sended to the controller 22; when the controller 22 detects that the button 24 is continuously pressed M times, and recognizes that each time the fingerprint signal of M times matches the pre-stored reference fingerprint signal, the electronic cigarette is switched from the working state Go to standby.

Scenario (4): The controller 22 first detects that the electronic cigarette is in the standby state, and then receives the fingerprint signal detected by the fingerprint module 25 every time the button signal of the button 24 is received, if the L button signals are continuously received and received The fingerprint signal acquired after each button signal is matched with the pre-stored reference fingerprint signal, and then the electronic cigarette is controlled to enter the working state from the standby state, where L is a preset positive integer.

The scenario (4) is the inverse process of scenario (3). The specific process is similar to scenario (3), and will not be repeated here, where M can be the same as L, for example, all five.

In the above various scenarios, it should be noted that the controller 22 pre-stores a time interval range for receiving the fingerprint signal. For example, if the fingerprint signal is between 500 milliseconds and 1 second, the fingerprint signals may be considered to be consecutive; If the time interval between adjacent fingerprint signals is within 500 milliseconds, the adjacent fingerprint signal may be regarded as a continuous fingerprint signal; when the time interval between adjacent fingerprint signals is greater than 1 second, the button 24 in the electronic cigarette is It can also be a touch switch. At this time, the controller can detect the switch signal of the touch switch, and the foregoing embodiment detects the switch signal of the button 24. It can be understood that the fingerprint module 25 can of course also be embedded in the touch switch and integrated with the touch switch.

The fingerprint module 25 is disposed in the above-mentioned electronic cigarette, on the one hand, to prevent the user from accidentally touching the ignition key of the electronic cigarette, so that the electronic cigarette is in a smoking state, which brings about a safety hazard; on the other hand, the child can be prevented from contacting the electronic In the case of smoke, the electronic cigarette is exposed to the smoking state, which brings about a safety hazard; in addition, the electronic cigarette can be avoided by a person other than the user.
