Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smoking device technology, specifically to a charging base for an electronic smoking device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing electronic smoking devices are generally equipped with rechargeable batteries and charging interfaces. When an electronic smoking device needs to be charged, it is usually charged using a power bank and a charging cable. One end of the charging cable is connected to the power bank, and the other end is connected to the charging interface of the electronic smoking device.

[0003] These electronic smoking devices consume power quickly, and often need to be used while charging. Therefore, it is necessary to carry a power bank and charging cable. However, it is inconvenient to hold the power bank, charging cable, and electronic smoking device in one hand at the same time, which affects the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to design a dedicated charging device for portable electronic smoking devices.

[0005] Application content

[0006] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this application is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology of using a power bank and charging cable to charge electronic smoking devices, which are inconvenient to carry and affect the user experience, and thus provide a charging base for electronic smoking devices.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this application is as follows:

[0008] A charging base for an electronic smoking device, comprising:

[0009] The base has a groove, and the base also has a charging connector that protrudes upward from the bottom of the groove. The charging connector is suitable for plugging and unplugging into the charging interface at one end of the electronic smoking device.

[0010] A bracket, connected above the base and located on one side of the charging connector, the side of the bracket facing the charging connector being adapted to provide support for the side wall of the electronic smoking device.

[0011] Furthermore, the side of the bracket facing the charging connector is a concave arc surface.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the groove is provided with a recessed groove, the internal space of which is connected to the ventilation hole of the electronic smoking device, and the base is provided with a through hole connecting the internal space of the recessed groove and the external air.

[0013] Furthermore, the shape and size of the groove cross-section are the same as the shape and size of the cross-section of the electronic smoking device.

[0014] Furthermore, a sliding cover is slidably connected to the top of the bracket. The sliding cover has a first position where it is flush with the bracket under external force so that the electronic smoking device can be inserted into the base along the side wall of the bracket, and a second position where it extends toward the end of the electronic smoking device facing away from the base under the action of an elastic element to limit and fix the electronic smoking device.

[0015] Furthermore, the side of the sliding cover corresponding to the concave arc surface is an arc surface.

[0016] Furthermore, the top of the bracket is provided with a cover plate, and a sliding groove is formed between the cover plate and the top of the bracket. A slider is slidably connected in the sliding groove, and the sliding cover is fixedly connected to the slider. The sliding cover is provided with an installation groove, and the elastic element is provided in the installation groove. One end of the elastic element abuts against the sliding cover, and the other end abuts against the cover plate. The elastic force of the elastic element drives the sliding cover to slide from the first position to the second position.

[0017] Furthermore, the base has a first mounting cavity inside, in which a circuit board is fixedly mounted, and the charging connector passes through the bottom of the groove and is electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0018] Furthermore, the bracket is provided with a second mounting cavity, in which a power supply is installed, and the power supply is electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0019] Furthermore, the side wall of the base is also provided with a charging port that is electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0020] Furthermore, the base includes a base body and a bottom cover connected to the bottom of the base body, and the groove is located on the base body; the base body is provided with an mounting plate, the mounting plate forms the bottom of the groove, and the space between the mounting plate and the bottom cover is the first mounting cavity.

[0021] The technical solution of this application has the following advantages:

[0022] 1. The charging base for the electronic smoking device provided in this application has a groove on the base and a charging connector at the bottom of the groove. The charging interface of the electronic smoking device can be directly plugged into the charging connector. The bracket on the base can provide support for the side wall of the electronic smoking device, which can improve the stability of the electronic smoking device after it is inserted into the base. During the charging process on the charging base, the electronic smoking device and the charging base can be held with one hand at the same time, without the need to carry a charging cable, making charging and carrying more convenient.

[0023] 2. The charging base of the electronic smoking device provided in this application has a concave arc surface on the side of the bracket facing the charging connector. The concave arc surface can match the convex arc surface of the outer wall of the electronic smoking device, providing a guiding function for the insertion and removal of the electronic smoking device and facilitating the smooth insertion and removal of the electronic smoking device.

[0024] 3. The charging base for the electronic smoking device provided in this application has a recessed groove at the bottom of the groove, the internal space of which communicates with the ventilation hole of the electronic smoking device, and the base has a through hole connecting the internal space of the recessed groove with the outside air; this arrangement allows the ventilation hole at the end of the electronic smoking device to communicate directly with the outside air during charging, avoiding the problem of the base blocking the ventilation hole and preventing the electronic smoking device from taking in air and thus becoming unusable, so that the electronic smoking device can be used while charging, making it more convenient to use.

[0025] 4. The charging base for the electronic smoking device provided in this application allows for easier operation when the sliding cover is pushed to one side during charging. This compresses the elastic element, allowing the electronic smoking device to be inserted into the groove of the base along the guide of the concave arc surface on one side of the bracket, aligning the charging connector with the charging interface of the electronic smoking device. After the electronic smoking device is inserted, the sliding cover is released, and it returns to its original position under the elastic force of the elastic element. At this time, the sliding cover can block the top of the end of the electronic smoking device facing away from the base, thus limiting and fixing the electronic smoking device and better securing it to the charging base.

[0026] 5. The charging base for the electronic smoking device provided in this application installs the power supply of the charging base in the second mounting cavity of the bracket, which can make full use of the space; moreover, the second mounting cavity in the bracket has a large installation space, which can install a larger capacity power supply, making it easier to increase the power capacity of the charging base.

[0039] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0040] like Figure 1 The charging base 100 shown in Figure 4 is for an electronic smoking device. The charging base 100 includes a base 110 and a bracket 130. A groove 113 is provided on the upper part of the base 110, and a charging connector 120 protruding upwards from the bottom of the groove 113 is also provided on the base 110. The charging connector 120 is adapted to be plugged into and connected to the charging interface 201 at one end of the electronic smoking device 200. The bracket 130 is fixedly connected to one side of the base 110 and located on one side of the charging connector 120. The bracket 130 and the base 110 are arranged in an L-shape.

[0041] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the electronic smoking device 200. The electronic smoking device 200 has an overall elongated cylindrical structure. One end of the electronic smoking device 200 has a ventilation hole 202 and a charging interface 201, and the other end has a cigarette insertion hole, through which a cigarette stick 300 can be inserted into the electronic smoking device 200. When in use, outside air needs to enter the interior of the electronic smoking device 200 through the ventilation hole 202.

[0042] Figure 3 and Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of the electronic smoking device 200 inserted into the charging base 100. The lower end of the electronic smoking device 200 is inserted into the groove 113 of the base 110. The bracket 130 provides support for the side wall of the electronic smoking device 200. The top of the bracket 130 is provided with a sliding cover 140, which blocks the top of the end of the electronic smoking device 200 facing away from the base 110.

[0043] The charging base of this electronic smoking device has a groove 113 on the base 110, and a charging connector 120 is located at the bottom of the groove 113. The charging interface 201 of the electronic smoking device 200 can be directly plugged into the charging connector 120. The bracket 130 on the base 110 can provide support for the side wall of the electronic smoking device 200, which can improve the stability of the electronic smoking device 200 after it is inserted into the base 110. During the charging process of the electronic smoking device 200 on the charging base 100, the electronic smoking device 200 and the charging base 100 can be held with one hand at the same time, without the need to use a charging cable, making charging and carrying more convenient.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the side of the bracket 130 facing the charging connector 120 is a concave arc surface 131. The concave arc surface 131 can match the convex arc surface of the outer wall of the electronic smoking device 200. This not only provides guidance for the insertion and removal of the electronic smoking device 200, facilitating the smooth insertion and removal of the electronic smoking device 200, but also limits the side wall of the electronic smoking device 200, improving the stability of the electronic smoking device 200 after it is plugged into the charging base 100.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the cross-sectional shape and size of the groove 113 are the same as those of the electronic smoking device 200. The sidewall of the groove 113 blocks the lower part of the outer peripheral wall of the electronic smoking device 200 to fix it in place. The bottom of the groove 113 also has a recessed groove 114. After the electronic smoking device 200 is inserted into the groove 113, the internal space of the recessed groove 114 communicates with the ventilation hole 202 of the electronic smoking device 200. Both sides of the base 110 have through holes 115 connecting the internal space of the recessed groove 114 to the external air. The recessed groove 114 allows the ventilation hole 202 at the end of the electronic smoking device 200 to directly communicate with the external air during charging, preventing the base 110 from blocking the ventilation hole 202 and causing the electronic smoking device 200 to be unable to breathe and thus unusable. This allows the electronic smoking device 200 to be used while charging, making it more convenient to use.

[0046] Combination Figure 4As shown in Figure 6, the sliding cover 140 is slidably connected to the top of the bracket 130, and the side of the sliding cover 140 corresponding to the concave arc surface 131 of the bracket 130 is an arc surface. The sliding cover 140 has a first position where it is flush with the concave arc surface 131 under the action of external force so that the electronic smoking device 200 can be inserted into the base 110 along the concave arc surface 131, and a second position where it extends towards the end of the electronic smoking device 200 opposite to the base 110 under the action of the elastic member 160 to limit and fix the electronic smoking device 200. During charging, push the sliding cover 140 to one side with force, compress the elastic element 160, and the electronic smoking device 200 can be inserted into the groove 113 of the base 110 along the guide of the concave arc surface 131 on one side of the bracket 130, and align the charging connector 120 with the charging interface 201 of the electronic smoking device 200, making operation more convenient. After the electronic smoking device 200 is inserted, release the sliding cover 140, and the sliding cover 140 will return to its original position under the elastic force of the elastic element 160. At this time, the sliding cover 140 can block the top of the end of the electronic smoking device 200 facing away from the base 110. The sliding cover 140 plays a limiting and fixing role for the electronic smoking device 200, which can better fix the electronic smoking device 200 on the charging base 100.

[0047] In this embodiment, a cover plate 132 is fixed to the top of the bracket 130. An inverted "T"-shaped groove is formed between the cover plate 132 and the top of the bracket 130. A "T"-shaped slider 150 is slidably connected in the groove. The sliding cover 140 is fixedly connected to the slider 150 by screws. The sliding cover 140 has a mounting groove. An ear plate extending into the mounting groove is fixedly connected to the cover plate 132. The elastic element 160 is a spring located in the mounting groove. One end of the elastic element 160 abuts against the sliding cover 140, and the other end abuts against the ear plate. The elastic force of the elastic element 160 drives the sliding cover 140 to extend above the end of the electronic smoking device 200 facing away from the base 110. Specifically, the sliding cover 140 can have one or two mounting grooves. Each mounting groove can have a spring installed in it. The elastic extension direction of the spring is the same as the sliding direction of the slider 150.

[0048] like Figure 7As shown, the base 110 includes a base body 111 and a lower cover 112 connected to the bottom of the base body 111. Inside the base body 111, there is a mounting plate 116 located above the lower cover 112. The mounting plate 116 is U-shaped to form the bottom of a groove 113 and a recessed groove 114. A bracket 130 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 116. The space between the mounting plate 116 and the lower cover 112 is a first mounting cavity 117. The charging base 100 also includes a circuit board 170 disposed within the first mounting cavity 117. The circuit board 170 is fixed to the mounting plate 116 by screws, and a charging connector 120 passes through the mounting plate 116 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 170. Inside the bracket 130, there is a second mounting cavity 133, which communicates with the first mounting cavity 117. A power supply 180 is installed in the second mounting cavity 133 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 170. The power supply 180 is cylindrical in shape. One end of the power supply 180 is located at the top of the first mounting cavity 117, and the other end of the power supply 180 extends from the bottom of the first mounting cavity 117 into the second mounting cavity 133 until it abuts against the inner wall of the bottom cover 112. Installing the power supply 180 in the second mounting cavity 133 of the bracket 130 can make full use of space, and the second mounting cavity 133 in the bracket 130 has a large installation space, which can accommodate a larger capacity power supply 180, thus facilitating an increase in the capacity of the power supply 180 in the charging base 100.

[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, the side wall of the base body 111 is also provided with a charging interface 190 that is electrically connected to the circuit board 170. An external charging device can charge the power supply 180 in the charging base 100 through the charging interface 190.

[0050] In summary, the charging base for the electronic smoking device provided in this application embodiment has a groove 113 on the base 110, and a charging connector 120 is provided at the bottom of the groove 113. The charging interface 201 of the electronic smoking device 200 can be directly plugged into the charging connector 120. The bracket 130 on the base 110 can provide support for the side wall of the electronic smoking device 200, which can improve the stability of the electronic smoking device 200 after it is inserted into the base 110. During the charging process of the electronic smoking device 200 on the charging base 100, the electronic smoking device 200 and the charging base 100 can be held simultaneously with one hand, without the need to use a carrying charging cable, making charging and carrying more convenient.

[0051] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this application.
