参见图1至图36所示,本实施例提供了一种电子烟具,包括分料机构、燃烧机构和排灰机构,分料机构包括分料部,燃烧机构包括自动点火装置,分料部用于将设定量的烟料输送至自动点火装置的点火位置,自动点火装置用于将烟料点燃;点火位置的一侧设置有排灰位置,分料部还用于将燃烧产生的烟灰输送至排灰位置,排灰机构用于将燃烧产生的烟灰排离排灰位置。
本实施例提供的电子烟具,在使用时,分料部将设定量的烟料输送至自动点火装置的点火位置,自动点火装置将烟料点燃,产生烟气,供使用者抽吸;当烟料燃烧后产生烟灰,分料部再将燃烧产生的烟灰输送至排灰位置,此时,排灰机构将燃烧产生的烟灰排离排灰位置。整个过程无需手动填装烟料和点火,也无需手动排灰,当使用者再次吸烟时,可以重复进行上述步骤,操作十分方便。当不吸烟时,可以将自动点火装置关闭,防止烟料浪费。
示例性的,在使用时,既可以通过分料部每次将设定量的烟料输送至自动点火装置的点火位置,然后自动点火装置将其点燃;也可以通过分料部连续多次地将设定量的烟料输送至自动点火装置的点火位置,然后自动点火装置将多次输送过来的烟料集中点燃,从而能够提高烟气的浓度,以满足不同用户需求。
在一个实施例中,电子烟具还包括粉碎机构,粉碎机构用于将烟丝粉碎成粒径为1~2mm的颗粒状烟料。
通过设置粉碎机构,能够将烟丝粉碎成粒径为1~2mm的颗粒状烟料,这样的方式有利于颗粒状烟料的燃烧,提高了燃烧效率,避免燃烧不完全造成浪费。
在一个实施例中,粉碎机构与料斗4可拆卸连接。
示例性的,可以先采用粉碎机构(例如,粉碎机构为粉碎机)将烟料打磨成颗粒,然后将颗粒状烟料倒入料斗4内;也可以将粉碎机构(例如,粉碎机构为打碎用的刀具)安装在料斗4内,并且在料斗4内设置筛板,打碎后的烟料从筛板上的通孔落至出料口9,进而落入料仓8内。
在一个实施例中,电子烟具还包括控制模块3,控制模块3用于控制自动点火装置的开启与关闭,还用于控制排灰机构动作。示例性的,控制模块3可以为微控制单元(MCU),也可以为可编程逻辑控制器(PLC)。
示例性的,控制模块3可以控制自动点火装置的点火时间,例如,点火1s,暂停0.5s,根据需要重复上述操作,既能够省电,又能够充分燃烧。
在一个实施例中,电子烟具还包括供电模块,供电模块能够向粉碎机构、排灰机构和控制模块3供电。示例性的,供电模块包括电池,例如,锂离子电池。
需要说明的是,供电模块的设置位置可以根据实际产品的内部结构进行灵活选择,以达到减小产品外形尺寸、提高壳体内部空间利用率的目的。
在一个实施例中,为了防止排灰过程中,烟灰散落到外部,电子烟具还包括壳体1和灰仓2,燃烧机构、排灰机构以及分料机构的至少部分均位于壳体1的内部,灰仓2与壳体1可拆卸连接,灰仓2与排灰位置相对。排灰机构将烟灰排离排灰位置,烟灰能够落入灰仓2内,从而能够避免烟灰散落到壳体1的外部。同时,由于灰仓2与壳体1可拆卸连接,在使用一段时间后,可以将灰仓2从壳体1上拆卸下来,便于单独对灰仓2进行清理,以便于重复使用。
示例性的,灰仓2可以与壳体1螺纹连接,灰仓2也可以与壳体1通过卡扣或磁性件连接。壳体1设置有进气口59。
在一个实施例中,分料部能够绕设定轴线旋转,以将烟灰输送至排灰位置;或分料部能够沿设定轴线移动,以将烟灰输送至排灰位置;点火位置和排灰位置沿分料部的运动路径依次设置。
在第一种可能的设计中,分料部能够绕设定轴线旋转,以将烟灰输送至排灰位置;点火位置和排灰位置沿分料部的运动路径依次设置。
在该第一种可能的设计中,分料部绕设定轴线旋转,分料部的运动路径大体为环形,点火位置和排灰位置沿分料部的运动路径依次设置,分料部沿运动路径先将设定量的烟料输送至点火位置,再将燃烧产生的烟灰输送至排灰位置。
在该第一种可能的设计中,参见图2所示,分料部包括料斗4、分料室5、底座6和第一驱动机构7,料斗4位于分料室5的上方,分料室5安装于底座6,排灰位置为设置于底座6的排灰孔10;分料室5设置有料仓8,第一驱动机构7能够驱动分料室5相对于底座6绕旋转轴线旋转,以使料仓8与料斗4的出料口9连通,或使料仓8与自动点火装置的点火位置对准;其中,旋转轴线与设定轴线的延伸方向一致。
示例性的,旋转轴线与设定轴线重合。在使用时,将足够使用者多次使用的烟料放在料斗4内,供电模块向第一驱动机构7供电,第一驱动机构7驱动分料室5相对于底座绕旋转轴线旋转,从而使料仓8与料斗4的出料口9连通,料斗4内的烟料从出料口9进入料仓8,然后第一驱动机构7驱动分料室5继续旋转,以使料仓8与自动点火装置的点火位置对准,自动点火装置将烟料点燃,产生烟气。烟料燃烧完毕产生烟灰,分料室5绕设定轴线旋转,从而将烟灰输送至排灰孔10,此时,排灰机构将烟灰排离排灰孔10,此时,料仓8处于空仓状态,第一驱动机构7可以再次驱动分料部运动,以使料仓8与料斗4的出料口9相对,料斗4内的烟料从出料口9进入料仓8,重复上述操作,可以继续抽吸烟气,而无需先手动清除烟灰。如此往复,操作非常方便。
在该第一种可能的设计中,参见图2和图5所示,底座6呈板状,底座设置有燃烧区域11和排灰区域;燃烧区域11包括预热区域111和点火区域112,点火区域112位于预热区域111与排灰区域之间,预热区域111用于对烟料升温,自动点火装置的点火位置位于点火区域112,排灰位置位于排灰区域;分料室5能够绕旋转轴线转动,以使料仓8内的烟料能够依次经过燃烧区域11和排灰区域。
在该第一种可能的设计中,电子烟具还包括预热件,预热件设置于底座,示例性的,预热件设置于预热区域111,预热件为电阻丝,电阻丝通电后能够对烟料加热升温,以对烟料进行预热和烘干,有利于后续自动点火装置将烟料点燃。
需要说明的是,预热件也可以设置于分料室5,例如,预热件设置于料仓8的内壁。
具体而言,当装有烟料的料仓8位于预热区域111时,烟料的温度能够升高,达到一定的烘干效果。当该料仓8承载着升温烘干后的烟料转动至点火区域112时,自动点火装置能够将烟料点燃,产生烟气。
在一些实施例中,参见图5所示,预热区域111、点火区域112和排灰区域的形状均为弧形长圆形。排灰孔10为弧形长圆孔。
在该第一种可能的设计中,参见图2和图5所示,电子烟具还包括出烟部,出烟部设置有出烟通道121,出烟通道121与自动点火装置的点火位置连通。示例性的,参见图5所示,出烟部与底座一体成型设置,点火区域112布设有多个出烟孔,多个出烟孔形成出烟通道121。参见图1所示,电子烟具还包括烟嘴13,烟嘴13安装于壳体1的外部,烟嘴13与出烟通道121连通,使用者通过烟嘴13抽吸燃烧产生的烟气。
在该第一种可能的设计中,料斗4设置有吸嘴孔14,或出烟部12设置有吸嘴孔14;吸嘴孔14与出烟通道121连通。示例性的,壳体1内部设置有吸烟管,吸烟管与出烟部12连接,吸烟管的管口为吸嘴孔14,吸烟管的管口与出烟通道121连通。
示例性的,烟嘴13内设置有过滤棉。使用者通过烟嘴13抽吸烟气。通过设置烟嘴13,能够将气道延长,避免使用者吸力过大时将烟料或烟灰吸入嘴里,同时,能够防止烟气过热烫伤使用者。
在该第一种可能的设计中,分料室5呈盘状,设定轴线为分料室5的轴线;料仓8的数量为多个,多个料仓8沿分料室5的周向间隔设置;分料室5的轴线与料斗4的出料方向平行。
多个料仓8可以沿分料室5的周向均匀间隔设置,也可以沿分料室5的周向非均匀间隔设置。在分料室5转动时,料斗4内的烟料能够持续地向不同料仓8内落料,避免频繁手动填装烟料。具体而言,在料斗4内的烟料充足的情况下,每当一个料仓8位于料斗4的出料口9的正下方时,料斗4内的烟料就会落入该料仓8内,从而完成烟料的填装。示例性的,可以控制落料的时间为2s。当然,也可以根据设定量的大小选择其他的落料时间。
需要说明的是,料斗4的出料口9可以设置挡板和位置传感器49,当检测到出料口9与料仓8对准时,控制模块3控制挡板开启,烟料从出料口9落入料仓8内,当检测到出料口9与料仓8错开时,控制模块3控制挡板关闭,防止烟料下落,或者当落料时间结束后,控制模块3控制挡板关闭,以停止进料。

具体而言,分料室5内的一个料仓8先位于接料区域15,烟料从料斗4的出料口9落入料仓8并位于接料区域15内,然后分料室5绕其自身的轴线转动,示例性的,参见图4所示,分料室5沿箭头方向A转动,该装有烟料的料仓8随分料室5转动至预热区域111和点火区域112,自动点火装置将烟料点燃,产生烟气,使用者通过烟嘴13抽吸烟气。当该料仓8内的烟料燃烧殆尽,产生烟灰后,分料室5转动,使得该装有烟灰的料仓8位于排灰区域,由于排灰区域设置有排灰孔10,料仓8内的烟料燃烧后产生的烟灰从排灰孔10排出。
需要说明的是,在其他实施例中,旋转轴线也可以与设定轴线平行。
在一些实施例中,自动点火装置包括电热丝。示例性的,电热丝设置在底座的上表面,具体而言,电热丝设置在点火区域112。电热丝将烟料点燃,产生烟气,使用者通过烟嘴13和出烟通道121抽吸烟气。此时,点火位置是指电热丝所覆盖的范围。

需要说明的是,电极的数量也可以为多个,多个电极可以均为单电极,多个电极也可以成对设置,例如,成对设置的两个电极能够产生电弧火,对烟料进行燃烧。

由于采用了特斯拉线圈16,与普通线圈相比,所产生的电弧火的长度和直径明显增大,燃烧力明显增强,保证烟料燃烧更加充分。
在一些实施例中,第一电极18的数量至少为一个,第二电极19的数量与第一电极18的数量相等;这样的方式能够保证第一电极18和第二电极19成对出现,且至少为一对。分料部具有燃烧区域11,在该第一种可能的设计中,燃烧区域11设置在底座上,第一电极18和第二电极19在燃烧区域11所在平面内的投影均位于燃烧区域11,也就是说,多个第一电极18和多个第二电极19在燃烧区域11所在平面内的投影可以位于燃烧区域11内,也可以位于燃烧区域11的边缘,还可以是一部分第一电极18和第二电极19在燃烧区域11所在平面内的投影位于燃烧区域11内,另一部分第一电极18和第二电极19在燃烧区域11所在平面内的投影位于燃烧区域11的边缘。这样的方式能够同时对烟料进行燃烧,实现充分、均匀的燃烧,减少燃烧死角。

需要说明的是,也可以在点火区域112同时设置电热丝和电极。
在一些实施例中,点火装置设置在点火区域112的设定位置。当第一驱动机构7驱动分料室5转动至装有烟料的料仓8位于点火区域112的设定位置时,第一驱动机构停止工作,分料室5停止转动,点火装置将该料仓8内的烟料点燃,产生烟气。
示例性的,当点火装置包括一个电极时,该电极可以设置在点火区域112的设定位置,例如,该电极设置在点火区域112的中间位置,该中间位置是指料仓8从点火区域112的一端到另一端的运行轨迹的中间位置。特斯拉线圈16通过单电极放电产生离子火焰,对烟料进行充分燃烧。
为了对烟料进行充分燃烧,该电极所产生的离子火焰应尽可能对准料仓8的中心。
需要说明的是,设定位置不仅局限于点火区域112的中间位置。自动点火装置也不局限于单电极,例如,也可以在设定位置设置一对电极。
在其他实施例中,电极或电热丝尽可能布设于整个点火区域112,这样的方式能够使得分料室5一边转动,点火装置一边对料仓8内的烟料进行燃烧,这样能够增加烟气的浓度,具体而言,在分料室5持续旋转的过程中,可以有多个料仓8同时位于点火区域112内,自动点火装置能够将多个料仓8内的烟料点燃,从而产生更浓的烟气。
当然,如果不需要较浓的烟气,也可以通过控制料斗4的出料口9的启闭来控制料仓8内填装的烟料的量,或者控制填装有烟料的料仓8的数量,例如,填装一个料仓8,空一个料仓8,如此即可减少同时被点燃的烟料的量。
