[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0036] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inside", "outside", etc. indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of the application is usually placed when in use, which is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0037] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "disposed" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0038] The cigarette cartridge flavor switching mechanism in the present application is mainly used to quickly switch the corresponding relationship between the inhalation smoke duct on the cigarette holder component and the smoke outlet of the cigarette cartridges of different flavors, thereby switching the inhalation flavor of the smoke generated by different cigarette cartridges.
[0039] See also Figure 1 , and combined with Figure 2-Figure 4 The cigarette cartridge flavor switching mechanism is installed on the shell of the electronic cigarette. The shell is a split structure, including an outer shell 1, a bottom shell 2 and a top shell 3, forming a detachable assembly form of the electronic cigarette shell, which is conducive to the installation and replacement of the cigarette cartridge 4 in the shell, and can conveniently clamp multiple cigarette cartridges 4 with different flavors, broadening the choices of smoking users.
[0040] The electronic cigarette includes at least two cigarette cartridges 4 inside. Preferably, two cigarette cartridges 4 are installed in the shell, which is conducive to manually rotating the mouthpiece component 5 to select and switch between the two flavor cigarette cartridges 4. At the same time, the setting of the two cigarette cartridges 4 can reduce the clamping space in the shell, which is conducive to ensuring the reliability of the conversion and switching.
[0041] The top shell 3 includes a smoke outlet 31 at the top, and the smoke outlet 31 is arranged corresponding to the cigarette cartridge 4 , so that the smoke generated after the cigarette cartridge 4 is heated can be discharged from the smoke outlet 31 and enter the mouthpiece component 5 .
[0042] The smoke ports 31 and the cigarette cartridges 4 are in a one-to-one correspondence, so that smoke from cigarette cartridges 4 with different flavors can enter the mouthpiece component 5 through different smoke ports 31 to meet the selection needs of smokers.
[0043] The present application does not limit the number of cigarette cartridges 4. Based on the rotation of the mouthpiece component 5, different flavors of cigarette cartridges 4 can be selected and switched. The cigarette cartridges 4 can also be set to three, four or more. The technical requirement that each cigarette cartridge 4 generates smoke and discharges it through an independent smoke port 31 needs to be met to prevent mixing.
[0044] The cigarette holder component 5 in the utility model is specifically connected to the top of the top shell 3, and mainly includes a cigarette holder seat 51 and a suction tube 52. Specifically, the cigarette holder seat 51 is connected to the top shell 3. Further, by manually moving the cigarette holder seat 51, the cigarette holder seat 51 is rotated relative to the top shell 3, so that the cigarette holder component 5 rotates as a whole.
[0045] During the rotation, the inhalation tube 52 connected to the cigarette holder 51 can rotate synchronously, and the lumen of the inhalation tube 52 can be positioned opposite to the smoke ports 31 corresponding to different cigarette cartridges 4, thereby establishing inhalation paths for different flavors.
[0046] Since the cigarette holder component 5 can rotate relative to the top shell 3, the cigarette holder seat 51 and the centering part of the top shell 3 are connected with a rotating shaft 6, and the cigarette holder seat 51 can be rotated by the rotating shaft 6 to switch and match the inhalation duct on the cigarette holder seat 51 with different smoke ports 31.
[0047] The connection of the rotating shaft 6 at the center between the cigarette holder seat 51 and the top shell 3 can enable the cigarette holder component 5 to rotate around the center of the two as the base point, thereby achieving 360° rotation, which is conducive to the rotation and switching of the smoking duct between multiple smoke ports 31.
[0048] From the perspective of the smoke inhalation function given by the mouthpiece component 5, the inhalation tube 52 is connected to the mouthpiece seat 51, and the lumen of the inhalation tube 52 specifically constitutes the smoke inhalation duct of the mouthpiece component 5. After the positions of the inhalation tube 52 and the smoke port 31 correspond to each other, an integral smoke duct is formed. In order to facilitate the docking of the inhalation tube 52 and the smoke port 31, the smoke port 31 is set at the top of the top shell 3, and the mouthpiece seat 51 is docked and assembled with the top shell 3.
[0049] Based on the angle of rotation of the cigarette holder component 5 between the two cigarette cartridges 4, in order to realize the positioning of the cigarette holder component 5 after the switching, a magnetic attraction component is arranged between the cigarette holder seat 51 and the top shell 3, specifically:
[0050] The magnetic attraction component includes a first magnetic attraction component 53 arranged at the bottom of the cigarette holder 51, and a second magnetic attraction component 32 arranged at the top of the top shell 3. The first magnetic attraction component 53 and the second magnetic attraction component 32 respectively include two annular magnets arranged in pairs.
[0051] After being rotated into position, the cigarette holder component 5 can be fixed after being rotated into position by mutual attraction between the two annular magnets of the first magnetic attraction member 53 and the two annular magnets of the second magnetic attraction member 32. During the switching process, the cigarette holder seat 51 is rotated by manually overcoming the attraction of the two annular magnets.
[0052] The cigarette holder seat 51 is provided with a docking ring 54 for the rotating shaft 6 to be plugged in, and the two annular magnets on the first magnetic attraction member 53 are arranged on both sides of the docking ring 54. The arrangement of the docking ring 54 facilitates the connection between the rotating shaft 6 and the cigarette holder seat 51. Specifically, one end of the rotating shaft 6 is limitedly installed in the top shell 3, and the other end is interference-fitted with the docking ring 54 to prevent the cigarette holder component 5 from falling off the top shell 3.
[0053] The suction tube 52 extends from the bottom of the cigarette holder seat 51, and one of the annular magnets of the first magnetic attraction member 53 is installed on the port where the suction tube 52 extends out, which can be conveniently matched with the annular magnet of the second magnetic attraction member 32 to position the cigarette holder component 5 after the rotation switch.
[0054] A receiving ring 55 is provided on the other side of the suction tube 52 relative to the connecting ring 54 of the rotating shaft 6. The receiving ring 55 is provided on the bottom wall of the cigarette holder seat 51. By installing another annular magnet of the first magnetic attraction component 53 in the receiving ring 55, it can be matched with another annular magnet of the second magnetic attraction component 32. Through this arrangement, a balanced magnetic attraction force can be formed in both directions to ensure a tight fit between the cigarette holder component 5 and the top shell 3.
[0055] The top of the top shell 3 is provided with a mounting hole 33 for mounting the rotating shaft 6 . The two annular magnets on the second magnetic attraction member 32 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting hole 33 and are respectively mounted on the smoke outlet 31 .
[0056] More than half of the length of the rotating shaft 6 is limitedly installed in the mounting hole 33. The rotating shaft 6 passes through the mounting hole 33 from bottom to top, and is limitedly engaged with the hole opening at the bottom of the mounting hole 33 through the protruding ring at the bottom of the rotating shaft 6 to prevent the rotating shaft 6 from being displaced in the axial direction.
[0057] The two annular magnets on the second magnetic member 32 can generate a balanced attraction with the two annular magnets on the first magnetic member 53. When installed on the smoke outlet 31, the cigarette holder 51 can be rotated into place so that the suction tube 52 is directly opposite to the target smoke outlet 31, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the switching docking.
[0058] In order to flexibly rotate the cigarette holder component 5, a fixed bearing 7 is mounted on the rotating shaft 6. The fixed bearing 7 is accommodated in the mounting hole 33 and clamps the rotating shaft 6. On the one hand, it can prevent the rotating shaft 6 from deviating, and on the other hand, it can ensure that the rotating shaft 6 rotates with the moving cigarette holder component 5.
[0059] From the perspective of the matching relationship between the fixed bearing 7, the rotating shaft 6, the top shell 3 and the cigarette holder seat 51, the rotating shaft 6 passes through the fixed bearing 7 and is inserted into the docking ring 54 on the cigarette holder seat 51. By fixing the outer ring of the fixed bearing 7 on the mounting hole 33 and making the inner ring of the fixed bearing 7 embrace the outer side of the rotating shaft 6, the rotating shaft 6 can be rotated relative to the top shell 3. Combined with the top end of the rotating shaft 6 being inserted into the cigarette holder seat 51, the cigarette holder seat 51 can be flexibly rotated, which is conducive to rotation switching.
[0060] From the matching angle of the cigarette holder seat 51 and the top shell 3, the contour shapes of the top shell 3 and the cigarette holder seat 51 are the same, and can be gourd-shaped or peanut-shaped outer contours at the same time. The cigarette holder seat 51 is provided with a smoothly transitioned downward flange 56, and a sink 34 is provided on the top of the top shell 3. The sink 34 is provided with an edge slightly protruding from its table surface. By making the flange 56 and the protruding edge of the sink 34 snap-fit, the top shell 3 and the cigarette holder seat 51 are closely matched under the action of the magnetic suction component. At the same time, the smoothly transitioned flange 56 is conducive to manual shifting, which is convenient and reliable.
[0061] The utility model also provides an electronic cigarette, including the above-mentioned cartridge flavor switching mechanism, wherein a portion of the top shell 3 and the bottom shell 2 extend into the outer shell 1 located in the middle, and are respectively plugged and connected with the outer shell 1, and the cartridge 4 is fixed between the outer shell 1 and the top shell 3.
[0062] Flexible sealing members 8 are provided between the smoke cartridge 4 and the smoke port 31 , and between the smoke cartridge 4 and the bottom shell 2 , respectively, to enhance the sealing performance of the shell.
[0063] By using the electronic cigarette of the utility model, cigarette cartridges 4 of different flavors can be quickly switched, which can effectively improve the user experience of smoking.
[0064] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application may be combined with each other.
[0065] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
