[0017] S4: The received information is mechanically converted by the telescopic stepper motor to drive the baffle to move, and the baffle will open or close the nozzle channel.

[0018] Preferably, the infrared signal transmitter should face the infrared signal receiver directly.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The mouthpiece is inserted into the interior of the cigarette holder through the connecting rod, and the position of the connecting rod can be limited by the protruding block, and then the installation of the mouthpiece is realized. The contact pad contacts the oil cartridge, which has a good stabilizing effect on the oil cartridge, and at the same time can also ensure the efficiency of disassembling and assembling the electronic cigarette, facilitating the user to replace the oil cartridge. Then, suction can be carried out through the mouthpiece channel. When not in use, a shutdown command for the electronic cigarette is issued through the controller, sent by the infrared signal transmitter, and received by the infrared signal receiver. Then, the telescopic stepper motor can be controlled to push the baffle through the connecting block. Thus, the two baffles can contact and fit together to close the mouthpiece channel, and thus it is impossible to suck the oil cartridge, which can prevent children from accidentally inhaling after taking it, and has a good protective effect. Moreover, signals can be transmitted and commands can be executed by using infrared rays through the control terminal, and the efficiency of closing the electronic cigarette is high and the response is fast.

[0020] Of course, it is not necessary for any product implementing the present invention to achieve all the above-mentioned advantages simultaneously. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
