Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of lighter technology, and more specifically to a lighter with multiple cigar cutting tools. Background Technology
[0002] A lighter is a small fire-starting device. It is mainly used for starting a fire, lighting cigarettes, and also for cooking and other fire-starting purposes. The main components of a lighter are the ignition mechanism and the gas tank. The principle of a lighter is that the ignition mechanism generates a spark that is directed towards the gas source, igniting the gas.
[0003] Existing ordinary lighters on the market can only satisfy smokers, while cigar smokers often need to carry multiple tools, making the cigar smoking process cumbersome. To solve the above problems, the patent document with publication number "CN 218763520U" discloses a lighter with a hidden cigar cutter. The lighter body includes a shell, a gas storage mechanism located in the shell, and a ignition mechanism that matches the gas storage mechanism. It also includes a cigar cutter, which is limited in the shell area and slidably connected to the shell. By sliding the cigar cutter on the shell, the closed end of the cigar is cut open, realizing the process of smoking a cigar.
[0004] However, the aforementioned documents and existing lighters with cigar cutters often only have one cigar cutter, either a straight cutter or a "V" cutter. Straight cutters are suitable for a wide range of cigar types, producing a larger volume of smoke and a better flavor, but they don't suit users seeking to enhance the smoking experience of certain types of cigars. "V" cutters, on the other hand, help concentrate the smoke and prevent it from being diluted, but tar tends to accumulate in the middle and later sections of the cigar, and not all cigar caps are deep enough to be processed with a "V" cutter. If the cap is not deep enough, using a "V" cutter will cause the wrapper at the cigar head to unravel. Meanwhile, lighters with cigar punches have also appeared on the market, but these punches cannot be used on small ring gauge or irregularly shaped cigars.
[0005] As can be seen from the above, cigars of different specifications and models often have their own matching cutting methods and preferences. Therefore, existing lighters with cigar cutting tools cannot meet the different preferences and needs of users. When smoking different specifications and models of cigars, users still need to carry multiple tools, which causes inconvenience. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a cigar cutting method applicable to different specifications and models, improve the versatility of the lighter, and meet the preferences and needs of different users for cigar cutting, thereby providing a lighter with multiple cigar cutting tools.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a lighter with multiple cigar cutting tools, comprising a lighter body, the lighter body including a housing, the housing having a gas storage mechanism and a ignition mechanism matching the gas storage mechanism, a "V"-shaped cigar cutter mechanism slidably connected to one side of the housing, the housing having a first through hole for the cigar to be inserted, the "V"-shaped cigar cutter mechanism sliding up and down to open or close the first through hole, the housing including a frame and an outer shell fitted over the frame, characterized in that: a first sliding cavity for mounting the "V"-shaped cigar cutter mechanism is provided on one side of the frame, and a first mounting cavity is provided on the other side, a straight-cutting cigar cutter mechanism is connected to the first mounting cavity by a snap fastener, the straight-cutting cigar cutter mechanism being slidably connected to the housing.
[0008] The above technical solution is adopted: by providing a "V"-shaped cigar cutter mechanism on one side of the frame and a straight-cutting cigar cutter mechanism through the first mounting cavity on the other side, the lighter body has two different cigar cutters, which can be used according to the characteristics of different specifications and models of cigars, while meeting the different users' preferences and needs for cigar cutting, and improving the user's convenience.
[0009] A further feature of the present invention is that the straight-cut cigar cutter mechanism includes a cigar cutter housing and a straight-cut cigar cutter that is slidably connected to the cigar cutter housing. A fixing plate is provided on the side of the housing near the frame, and a first mounting groove is provided on the side of the fixing plate near the cigar cutter housing. A fixed blade that engages with the straight-cut cigar cutter for cutting is provided in the first mounting groove.
[0010] The above technical solution is adopted: When in use, the straight-cut cigar cutter slides up and down relative to the housing, and cooperates with the fixed blade set on the fixed plate to cut the cigar. The fixed blade is set in the first mounting groove, so that it cooperates more stably with the straight-cut cigar cutter and the cigar cutting effect is improved.
[0011] A further feature of the present invention is that the “V”-shaped cigar cutter mechanism includes a “V”-shaped blade and a first handle connected to the “V”-shaped blade. A cover plate is provided at the protrusion of the “V”-shaped blade, and a notch is provided on the cover plate that communicates with the first through hole.
[0012] The above technical solution is adopted as follows: a cover plate is provided at the protrusion of the "V"-shaped blade, and the cover plate has a notch that communicates with the first through hole. When the user uses the "V"-shaped cigar cutter to cut the cigar, he pulls down the first blade handle so that the notch is in communication with the first through hole and inserts the cigar into the first through hole. The notch is preferably spindle-shaped. At this time, the cutting end of the cigar abuts against the notch to prevent the cigar from going too deep and causing too much cutting.
[0013] A further feature of the present invention is that the straight-cut cigar cutter includes a straight-cut blade and a second handle connected to the straight-cut blade. A first limiting groove for placing the first handle is provided on one side of the bottom of the outer casing, and a second limiting groove for placing the second handle is provided on the other side.
[0014] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting the first and second limiting grooves, when the cigar cutter is not in use, the first and second handles can be located in the first and second limiting grooves, which is convenient for storage and will not slide upward.
[0015] A further feature of the present invention is that the housing also includes an upper housing, the top of which is hinged to a top cover, a cigar punch is hinged to one side of the upper housing, and a cigar needle is hinged to the other side, with two annular blades of different diameters arranged sequentially on the cigar punch.
[0016] The above technical solution reduces the need for users to carry cigar-smoking tools by using a hinged cigar punch and cigar needle. When using the cigar, users simply flip up the cigar punch, punch a hole in the cigar, and then use the cigar needle to loosen the cigar for easy lighting. The cigar punch also features two ring blades of different diameters, suitable for punching holes in cigars of different sizes. When encountering irregularly shaped cigars, users can flip the cigar punch back and use a "V" shaped cigar cutter or a straight cigar cutter to cut the cigar, thus satisfying different users' preferences and needs for cigar cutting.
[0017] A further feature of the present invention is that: a support is provided inside the upper housing; the ignition mechanism is rotatably connected to the support and the upper housing; a limiting block is provided at the top of the ignition mechanism inside the upper housing; the limiting block can abut against the support; a piezoelectric ceramic is provided inside the frame; and a linkage mechanism is provided at the top of the piezoelectric ceramic to work with the gas storage mechanism for ignition after being linked with the ignition mechanism.
[0018] Using the above technical solution: the user only needs to flip open the top cover and then push the ignition mechanism downwards, causing the ignition mechanism to rotate relative to the upper shell. Through the linkage mechanism, the pressure ceramic is pressed, causing the piezoelectric ceramic to generate high voltage, which works with the gas storage mechanism to achieve ignition. At the same time, due to the setting of the ignition mechanism limit stop, when the user pushes the ignition mechanism downwards and the ignition mechanism rotates, the limit stop will abut against the bracket, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the ignition mechanism and preventing the ignition mechanism from continuing to rotate. Compared with the push-to-ignite type commonly used in existing lighters, the user's ignition is more effortless and convenient.
[0019] A further feature of the present invention is that the linkage mechanism includes a connecting rod hinged to the frame at its bottom, a pressing block that can be linked with the connecting rod, and a rocker plate whose one end abuts against the bottom of the pressing block away from the connecting rod and whose other end is connected to the gas storage mechanism. The top of the connecting rod is provided with a long rod that is linked with the ignition mechanism.
[0020] Using the above technical solution: When the user moves the ignition mechanism downwards, the ignition mechanism rotates, causing the long rod linked to the ignition mechanism to rotate upwards into the housing. This causes the connecting rod to rotate relative to the frame, causing the connecting rod to press down on the pressing block, pressing the piezoelectric ceramic. This causes the piezoelectric ceramic to generate high voltage, which works in conjunction with the gas storage mechanism to achieve ignition. At this time, the end of the rocker that is in contact with the pressing block is compressed downwards. When the user releases the ignition mechanism, the force that compresses the rocker disappears, and the rocker causes the pressing block to return to its original position, stopping the piezoelectric ceramic from generating high voltage. At this point, ignition ends.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0022] With a "V" shaped cigar cutter mechanism on one side of the frame and a straight-cutting cigar cutter mechanism on the other side, it can be used for cigars of different specifications and models, while meeting the different users' preferences and needs for cigar cutting, improving user convenience and the universality of lighters;
[0023] By hinged to the upper housing are a cigar punch and a cigar needle, and the cigar punch is equipped with two ring blades of different diameters, the cigar punch can be used for cigars of different sizes, thus meeting the different preferences and needs of users for cigar cutting.
[0024] The ignition mechanism is rotated within the upper housing, and through the linkage mechanism, the user can ignite the device by pushing it downwards, causing the ignition mechanism to rotate relative to the upper housing. This makes ignition easier and more convenient.
[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description

First limiting blocks 3311 are provided on both sides of the top of the straight-cutting blade 331 within the second sliding groove 311. When the straight-cut cigar cutter 33 slides downward, the first limiting blocks 3311 abut against the bottom of the second sliding groove 311, thereby preventing the straight-cut cigar cutter 33 from falling out of the housing 1.
[0036] like Figure 2 , 3 The "V"-shaped cigar cutter mechanism 2 shown includes a "V"-shaped blade 21 and a first handle 22 connected to the "V"-shaped blade 21. A cover plate 23 is provided at the protrusion of the "V"-shaped blade 21. The cover plate 23 has a notch 232 communicating with the first through hole 13. Preferably, the top two sides of the "V"-shaped blade 21 are provided with second limiting blocks 211 extending towards the frame 11. The second limiting blocks 211 are located in the first sliding groove 1111 and can reciprocate along the first sliding groove 1111. When the "V"-shaped cigar cutter is slid down, the second limiting blocks 211 will abut against the bottom of the first sliding groove 1111 to prevent the "V"-shaped cigar cutter from falling out of the housing 1. Mounting blocks 231 are provided on both sides of the cover plate 23. The frame 11 is provided with corresponding mounting grooves 15 at the mounting blocks 231. The cover plate 23 and the frame 11 are assembled together.
[0037] like Figure 1 , 7 The bottom of the outer casing 12 shown has a first limiting groove 121 on one side for placing the first tool handle 22, and a second limiting groove 122 on the other side for placing the second tool handle 332.
[0038] like Figure 1 The housing 1 shown also includes an upper housing 14, with a top cover 141 hinged to the top of the upper housing 14. A cigar punch 142 is hinged to one side of the upper housing 14, and a cigar needle 143 is hinged to the other side. Two ring blades 1421 of different diameters are arranged sequentially on the cigar punch 142.
[0039] like Figure 1-7The upper housing 14 shown has a bracket 144 inside. The ignition mechanism 4 is rotatably connected to the bracket 144 and the upper housing 14. The top of the ignition mechanism 4 is provided with a limiting block 41 inside the upper housing 14. The limiting block 41 can abut against the bracket 144. The frame 11 has a piezoelectric ceramic 145 inside. The top of the piezoelectric ceramic 145 has a linkage rod 1461 mechanism 146 that is linked with the ignition mechanism 4 and cooperates with the gas storage mechanism 5 for ignition. The linkage rod 1461 mechanism 146 includes a connecting rod 1461 with its bottom hinged to the frame 11, a pressing block 1462 located on the top of the piezoelectric ceramic 145 that can be linked with the connecting rod 1461, and a rocker plate 1463 with one end abutting against the bottom of the pressing block 1462 away from the connecting rod 1461 and the other end connected to the gas storage mechanism 5. The top of the connecting rod 1461 has a long rod 14611 that is linked with the ignition mechanism 4.
[0040] During use, the present invention allows users to select the appropriate cutting tool based on the type and specifications of the cigar or personal preference and needs. The "V"-shaped cigar cutter and the straight-cutting cigar cutter 33 simply require pulling down the first and second handles 332 to open the first through hole 13, inserting the cigar from the corresponding side, and then pressing the handle upwards to cut the cigar. The cigar punch 142 and cigar needle 143 can be used simply by flipping them over. The cigar punch 142 has two ring blades 1421 of different diameters, suitable for cigars of different sizes, greatly improving the versatility of the lighter. After cutting the cigar, the cigar cutting tool is stored back in the housing 1, the top cover 141 is flipped up, and the ignition mechanism 4 is pushed down to ignite the cigar, making ignition easier and more convenient for the user.
