Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic cigarettes, and in particular to an electronic cigarette timer locking device. Background Technology
[0002] E-cigarettes are electronic products that simulate traditional cigarettes, typically containing components such as batteries, atomizers, and e-liquid. Users simulate the feeling of smoking by inhaling the aerosol produced by the e-cigarette. It's commonly believed that because e-cigarettes inhale less nicotine, they help smokers gradually reduce their dependence on nicotine, thus achieving smoking cessation. However, in reality, while current e-cigarette designs can replace cigarettes and reduce the harms of smoking, they do not help smokers quit their addiction and cannot effectively reduce the duration of smoking.
[0003] In view of the above problems, it is necessary to study an electronic cigarette time-locking device that can prevent the electronic cigarette from being used within a set time, thereby helping smokers control their smoking time, gradually reduce the amount of smoking, and achieve the effect of quitting smoking. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electronic cigarette timer locking device that can prevent the electronic cigarette from being used within a set locking time, thereby helping smokers control their smoking time, gradually reduce the amount of smoking, and achieve the effect of quitting smoking.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is:
[0006] An electronic cigarette timer locking device includes a lock case, a locking element, and an electronic locking mechanism. The lock case is a flexible structure with a retrieval opening, which is fitted with a zipper for controlling its opening and closing. The locking element is connected to the zipper pull and has a locking portion. The electronic locking mechanism includes a housing and a control circuit board, a battery, and an electromagnet housed within the housing. The control circuit board includes a control module, a command input module, a display module, and an electromagnet drive module. The control module is electrically connected to the command input module, the display module, and the electromagnet drive module, respectively. The electromagnet drive module is electrically connected to the electromagnet. The battery is electrically connected to the control circuit board and supplies power to it. The electromagnet has a retractable locking post that engages with the locking portion of the locking element. The housing is mounted on the lock case and has an insertion port for the locking portion of the locking element to be inserted. The housing also has a display clearance port and an input clearance port corresponding to the display module and the command input module, respectively. When the zipper closes the retrieval opening of the lock case, the locking portion of the locking element can be inserted into the housing through the insertion port and engage with the locking post of the electromagnet.
[0007] The lock box forms a groove, and the outer shell is fitted into the groove of the lock box.
[0008] The outer shell is bonded to the lock box.
[0009] The instruction input module has multiple buttons, and the outer casing has an input clearance port corresponding to each button; the display module has multiple display units, and the outer casing has a display clearance port corresponding to each display unit; the outer casing is fitted with a protective film covering each display clearance port and each input clearance port, the protective film has a light-transmitting area corresponding to the display clearance port, and the protective film has a pressing area corresponding to the input clearance port.
[0010] The control circuit board is also equipped with a charging control module, which is electrically connected to the battery. The charging control module has a charging interface, and the outer casing has a charging clearance port corresponding to the charging interface, into which the charging interface is inserted.
[0011] The charging interface uses a Type-C interface.
[0012] The lock box is made of silicone, cloth, or leather.
[0013] The zipper pull is connected to the locking mechanism via a chain.
[0014] The housing contains an ejector and a spring. The ejector is slidably disposed inside the housing and opposite to the insertion port. The spring is disposed between the ejector and the housing. The spring is used to drive the ejector to push against the locking part of the locking member, thereby causing the locking part of the locking member to move in the direction of exiting the housing.
[0015] The locking part of the locking member is provided with a locking hole that penetrates the side of the locking part, and the locking pin of the electromagnet is movably inserted into the locking hole.
[0016] With the above solution, when using this utility model, the user first places the electronic cigarette into the lock box through the opening, then closes the opening via the zipper. Next, the locking part of the locking component is inserted into the outer shell through the insertion port. Then, the user inputs a locking command with locking time information to the control module via the command input module. This causes the control module to drive the electromagnet via the electromagnet drive module, so that the locking pin of the electromagnet engages with the locking part to lock the locking component. At this time, the zipper cannot be opened, thus preventing the lock box from opening and the user from removing the electronic cigarette. After the control module times out the locking time, the control module automatically drives the electromagnet via the electromagnet drive module, causing the locking pin of the electromagnet to disengage from the locking part and unlock the locking component. At this time, the user can open the zipper to open the lock box and remove the electronic cigarette.
[0017] As described above, this invention can place an electronic cigarette in a lock box and prevent the lock box from opening within a set locking time. In this way, the electronic cigarette cannot be used within the set locking time, thereby helping smokers control their smoking time, gradually reduce the amount of smoking, and achieve the effect of quitting smoking.

[0036] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses an electronic cigarette timer locking device, which includes a lock box 1, a locking member 2, and an electronic locking device 3. The lock box 1 is a flexible structure with a retrieval opening 11, which is fitted with a zipper 4 for controlling its opening and closing. The locking member 2 is connected to the zipper pull 41 of the zipper 4 and has a locking part 21. The electronic locking device 3 includes a housing 31 and a control circuit board 32, a battery 33, and an electromagnet 34 disposed within the housing 31. The control circuit board 32 includes a control module 321, a command input module 322, a display module 323, and an electromagnet drive module 324. The control module 321 is connected to the command input module 322, the display module 323, and the electromagnet 34 drive device. The electromagnet drive module 324 is electrically connected to the electromagnet 34; the battery 33 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 32 and supplies power to the control circuit board 32; the electromagnet 34 has a retractable locking pin 341, which is used to movably cooperate with the locking part 21 of the locking member 2; the housing 31 is installed on the lock box 1, and the housing 31 is provided with an insertion port 311 for the locking part 21 of the locking member 2 to be inserted; the housing 31 is provided with a display clearance port 313 and an input clearance port 312 corresponding to the display module 323 and the instruction input module 322, respectively; when the zipper 4 closes the take-out opening 11 of the lock box 1, the locking part 21 of the locking member 2 can be inserted into the housing 31 through the insertion port 311 of the housing 31 and cooperate with the locking pin 341 of the electromagnet 34.
[0038] In use, the user first places the electronic cigarette into the lock box 1 through the opening 11, then closes the opening 11 using the zipper 4. Next, the locking part 21 of the locking member 2 is inserted into the outer shell 31 through the insertion port 311. Then, the user inputs a locking command with locking time information to the control module 321 via the command input module 322. This causes the control module 321 to drive the electromagnet 34 via the electromagnet drive module 324, so that the locking pin 341 of the electromagnet 34 engages with the locking part 21 to lock the locking member 2. At this time, the zipper 4 cannot be opened, thus preventing the lock box 1 from opening and the user from removing the electronic cigarette. After the control module 321 times the locking time, it automatically drives the electromagnet 34 via the electromagnet drive module 324, causing the locking pin 341 of the electromagnet 34 to disengage from the locking part 21 and unlock the locking member 2. At this time, the user can open the zipper 4 to open the lock box 1 and remove the electronic cigarette. As described above, this invention can place an electronic cigarette in the lock box 1 and prevent the lock box 1 from opening within a set locking time. In this way, the electronic cigarette cannot be used within the set locking time, thereby helping smokers control their smoking time, gradually reduce the amount of smoking, and achieve the effect of quitting smoking.
[0039] In an embodiment of this utility model, the lock box 1 can be made of silicone, cloth, or leather, so that the lock box 1 has a flexible structure that allows the opening 11 to open for taking out and putting in the electronic cigarette; the lock box 1 can form a groove 12, and the outer shell 31 is embedded in the groove 12 of the lock box 1; the outer shell 31 is bonded to the lock box 1 so that the outer shell 31 can be easily installed on the lock box 1.
[0040] In an embodiment of this utility model, the zipper pull 41 of the zipper 4 can be connected to the locking member 2 via the chain 5; the locking part 21 of the locking member 2 may be provided with a locking hole 211 penetrating the side of the locking part 21, and the locking pin 341 of the electromagnet 34 is movably inserted into the locking hole 211; when the locking pin 341 of the electromagnet 34 is inserted into the locking hole 211 of the locking member 2, the locking member 2 is locked; and when the locking pin 341 of the electromagnet 34 is withdrawn from the locking hole 211 of the locking member 2, the locking member 2 is unlocked.
[0041] In an embodiment of this utility model, the outer casing 31 may include two connected half-shells 3101 for mounting the control circuit board 32, battery 33, and electromagnet 34. An ejector 36 and a spring 37 may be fitted inside the outer casing 31. The ejector 36 is slidably disposed inside the outer casing 31 and opposite the insertion port 311. The spring 37 is disposed between the ejector 36 and the outer casing 31, and is used to drive the ejector 36 to push against the locking part 21 of the locking member 2, causing the locking part 21 of the locking member 2 to move in the direction of exiting the outer casing 31. When locking the locking member 2, the user inserts the locking part 21 of the locking member 2 into the outer casing 31 through the insertion port 311, and presses down on the locking member 2 so that the locking part 21 of the locking member 2 is not pushed out by the ejector 36 and the spring 37. After the locking pin 341 of the electromagnet 34 engages with the locking part 21 to lock the locking member 2, the user releases the pressure on the locking member 2. When the locking pin 341 of the electromagnet 34 disengages from the locking part 21 to unlock the locking member 2, the spring 37 releases energy and drives the ejector 36 to push against the locking part 21 of the locking member 2, causing the locking part 21 of the locking member 2 to move in the direction of exiting the housing 31, thereby pushing the locking part 21 of the locking member 2 out a short distance so that the user can easily remove the locking member 2.
