[0035] Common electronic cigarettes on the market usually include a mouthpiece, a heating atomization mechanism connected to the mouthpiece, and a smoke oil bag for storing smoke oil. In actual use, the smoke oil in the liquid storage tank enters the heating atomization mechanism, and air is sent in from the outside environment to mix with the smoke oil and then heated by the heating atomization mechanism to become smoke. Finally, the smoke is inhaled by the user through the mouthpiece.

[0036] Generally speaking, after the old e-liquid bag is used up, it needs to be replaced with a new one, and the new e-liquid bag needs to be punctured before another pump body pumps out the e-liquid for use. However, the existing technology requires two sets of additional drive structures to achieve puncturing and pumping, which results in a large volume; and the two sets of structures are basically unrelated, which makes it difficult to achieve linkage and makes the electronic cigarette prone to malfunction.

[0037] In order to solve the above problems, this embodiment discloses a clutch drive module, whose structure is as follows: Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the driving module includes a housing 100, a driving member 101, a pump body 102, a planetary gear set 103, a first transmission assembly 200, a second transmission assembly 300, a clutch assembly 400 and a transverse member 104 for installing a needle body, wherein the driving member 101 and the pump body 102 are both mounted on the housing 100, and the transverse member 104 is slidably connected to the housing 100; the driving member 101 is drivingly connected to the input end of the planetary gear set 103, the input end of the first transmission assembly 200 is drivingly connected to the first output end of the planetary gear set 103, the input end of the second transmission assembly 300 is drivingly connected to the second output end of the planetary gear set 103, the transverse member 104 is drivingly connected to the output end of the first transmission assembly 200, the clutch assembly 400 is drivingly connected to the output end of the second transmission assembly 300, and the driving member 101 drives the transverse member 104 to move transversely or drive the pump body 102 to work through the first transmission assembly 200 and the second transmission assembly 300 respectively;

[0038] When the transverse member 104 is not at the outermost end, the transverse member 104 contacts the clutch assembly 400 so that the clutch assembly 400 locks the input end of the second transmission assembly 300, and the driving member 101 can drive the transverse member 104 to move transversely through the first transmission assembly 200;

[0039] When the transverse member 104 is located at the outermost end, the first transmission assembly 200 is locked and the clutch assembly 400 is separated from the input end of the second transmission assembly 300 and the transverse member 104 respectively, and the driving member 101 can drive the pump body 102 to work through the second transmission assembly 300.

[0040] Specifically, in the clutch drive module of this embodiment, in the initial state, the transverse member 104 is located at the innermost end, and the transverse member 104 contacts the clutch assembly 400 so that the clutch assembly 400 locks the input end of the second transmission assembly 300. If it is necessary to drive the transverse member 104 to the outermost end to pierce the smoke oil bag, the driving member 101 can drive the transverse member 104 to move horizontally through the planetary gear set 103 and the first transmission assembly 200; when the transverse member 104 is located at the outermost end, the transverse member 104 cannot continue to move horizontally and the needle body pierces the smoke oil bag at the same time. At this time, the first transmission assembly 200 is locked. At the same time, the clutch assembly 400 is separated from the input end of the second transmission assembly 300 and the transverse member 104 respectively, and the driving member 101 can drive the pump body 102 to work through the planetary gear set 103 and the second transmission assembly 300 to pump out the tobacco oil in the punctured tobacco oil bag; when the above components need to be reset, it is only necessary to control the driving member 101 to reverse, and the transverse member 104 to contact the clutch assembly 400 again so that the clutch assembly 400 locks the second transmission assembly 300, and the driving member 101 can drive the transverse member 104 to reset through the planetary gear set 103 and the first transmission assembly 200. Compared with the prior art, the utility model only needs to use a set of driving members 101 and clutch assembly 400 to realize the puncture and pumping of tobacco oil bags, effectively reducing the size of the electronic cigarette; at the same time, the above structure also has a high correlation, and the difficulty of realizing linkage is lower, which effectively improves the service life of the electronic cigarette.

[0041] Specifically, the clutch assembly 400 includes a rotating shaft 401, a clamping member 402 and a reset member 403. The rotating shaft 401 is located on one side of the transverse member 104, one end of the clamping member 402 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 401, and the reset member 403 is installed on the rotating shaft 401 to drive the outer side of the other end of the clamping member 402 to press against one side of the transverse member 104; the input end of the second transmission assembly 300 is provided with a first clamping groove 301, when the transverse member 104 is not located at the outermost end, the transverse member 104 contacts the clutch assembly 400 so that the other end of the clamping member 402 overcomes the force of the reset member 403 and then extends into the first clamping groove 301 and contacts the inner wall of the first clamping groove 301.

[0042] from Figures 2 to 5It can be seen that in the initial state, the inner side of the transverse member 104 contacts the other end of the clamping member 402, so that the clamping member 402 extends into the first clamping slot 301 to lock the second transmission assembly 300; when the transverse member 104 moves laterally, the other end of the clamping member 402 slides on the inner side wall of the transverse member 104, and separates from the transverse member 104 when the transverse member 104 moves laterally to the outermost end, and the clamping member 402 separates from the first clamping slot 301 and the transverse member 104 under the action of the reset member 403. Preferably, the number of the first clamping slots 301 is four, and the four first clamping slots 301 are arranged at equal distances, and the reset member 403 is preferably a torsion spring. At this time, the first transmission assembly 200 is locked, and the first transmission assembly 200 and the second transmission assembly 300 are engaged and disengaged.

[0043] Further, the first transmission assembly 200 includes a worm wheel 201, a worm 202, a plurality of second gears 203, and a screw 204 coaxially connected to the worm wheel 201, the second gear 203 at the input end of the first transmission assembly 200 is meshed with the first output end of the planetary gear set 103, and the screw 204 is screwed to the lower end of the transverse member 104. In this embodiment, the screw 204 is driven to rotate by the second gear 203, the worm 202, and the worm wheel 201, thereby driving the transverse member 104 to move transversely.

[0044] Further, the second transmission assembly 300 includes a plurality of first gears 302 meshing with each other and a plurality of support shafts 303 for supporting the first gears 302. The first gear 302 at the input end of the second transmission assembly 300 is coaxially rotatably connected with a column 304. The first clamping groove 301 is located on the side wall of the column 304. The first gear 302 at the output end of the second transmission assembly 300 is drivingly connected with the input end of the pump body 102. In this embodiment, the support shaft 303 is connected to the housing 100 to support and install the first gear 302. In addition, the first clamping groove 301 is arranged on the column 304, so that the first clamping groove 301 can be separated from the first gear 302 to prevent the clamping member 402 from affecting the rotation of the first gear 302.

[0045] Furthermore, the clutch assembly 400 further includes a stopper 404, a spring 405 and a gasket 408, wherein the stopper 404, the gasket 408 and the spring 405 are all connected to the support shaft 303, the stopper 404 is located above the column 304, the spring 405 causes the gasket 408 to contact the upper end surface of the stopper 404, and the side surface of the stopper 404 is further provided with a second slot 406 corresponding to the first slot 301;

[0046] When the transverse moving member 104 is not at the outermost end, the first card slot 301 and the second card slot 406 are connected to allow the other end of the card 402 to extend into; when the transverse moving member 104 is at the outermost end, the first card slot 301 and the second card slot 406 are staggered to prevent the other end of the card 402 from extending into.

[0047] In this embodiment, the stopper 404 is rotatably connected to the support shaft 303 and the gasket 408 and the stopper 404 are pressed against the upper end of the column 304 by the spring 405. In the initial state, the relative position of the stopper 404 and the column 304 is as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the first slot 301 is docked with the second slot 406, and the other end of the clamp 402 can also extend into the first slot 301 and the second slot 406 to lock the second transmission component 300; when the transverse member 104 moves to the outermost end and disengages from the clamp 402, the other end of the clamp 402 disengages from the first slot 301 and the second slot 406, and the first gear 302 connected to the column 304 can rotate, and during the rotation, it is misaligned with the limit plate 404 to prevent the other end of the clamp 402 from re-extending into the first slot 301 and the second slot 406, affecting the clutch drive between the first transmission component 200 and the second transmission component 300.

[0048] In addition, a positioning column 305 is protruding from the upper end of the column 304, and an arc groove 407 corresponding to the positioning column 305 is provided at the lower end of the limiting plate 404. The positioning column 305 is slidably connected to the arc groove 407, and the length of the arc groove 407 is adapted to the length of the first slot 301. In the initial state, the column 304 drives the positioning column 305 to contact one side of the arc groove 407, and the first card slot 301 is connected with the second card slot 406; when the clamp 402 is disengaged from the first card slot 301 and the second card slot 406, the column 304 is in contact with the other side of the arc groove 407 through the positioning column 305, and then drives the limit plate 404 to rotate together under the action of the positioning column 305. At this time, the first card slot 301 and the second card slot 406 remain relatively staggered, which can effectively prevent the other end of the clamp 402 from re-extending into the first card slot 301 and the second card slot 406, thereby improving the stability of the clutch assembly 400 of this embodiment.

[0049] In addition, this embodiment also discloses an electronic cigarette, which is provided with the driving module as described in this embodiment.

[0050] It should be noted that the specific structure and working principle of the planetary gear set 103 in this embodiment can be referred to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
