Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic cigarette microphones, and in particular to an electronic cigarette microphone using a MEMS module. Background Art

[0002] Electronic cigarettes are devices that convert liquid oil into mist aerosols that are inhaled by the smoker. Existing commercially available electronic cigarettes mainly use electric heating to heat the liquid oil and atomize it into mist aerosols. With the continuous development of people's life needs, more and more people choose to use electronic cigarettes instead of traditional cigarettes because electronic cigarettes do not contain tar, suspended particulates and other harmful ingredients in traditional cigarettes. Some people also use electronic cigarettes to quit smoking.

[0003] Traditional electronic cigarette microphones use an annular diaphragm, and the change in capacitance is obtained by the deformation of the diaphragm. For example, a "wrinkle-proof membrane electronic cigarette microphone and electronic cigarette" disclosed in Chinese patent documents, with the announcement number CN216533833U, includes a shell and a plate, a gasket, a vibration module and a PCB assembly encapsulated in the shell in sequence, and the vibration module is composed of a diaphragm, a copper ring, and a cavity. The diaphragm and the copper ring are two phase-separated elements, the copper ring is connected between the diaphragm and the PCB assembly, and the cavity is placed between the copper ring and the shell. However, the traditional microphone using an annular diaphragm has a complex structure, strict process requirements, and the diaphragm is easily damaged by the process. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model mainly solves the problems that the prior art electronic cigarette microphone uses a diaphragm, has a complex structure, strict process requirements, and the diaphragm is easily damaged by the process; and provides an electronic cigarette microphone using a MEMS module, which uses a MEMS module structure, has a simple structure, is easy to process, and has high product stability and yield.

[0005] The above technical problems of the utility model are mainly solved by the following technical solutions:

[0006] An electronic cigarette microphone using a MEMS module comprises a shell, a head end of the shell is provided with a mesh cloth, a PCB of the microphone is arranged in the shell, a side of the PCB facing the head end of the shell is provided with a circular MEMS module; a side of the PCB facing away from the head end of the shell is provided with a signal output terminal.

[0007] The MEMS module is mounted on the microphone PCB through the SMT process to form a patch assembly. The annular cavity is first placed in the shell and then the patch assembly is horizontally loaded. The shell is sealed by an edge sealing machine, and finally a dustproof mesh is attached to the bottom of the shell. The MEMS module on the back of the microphone senses the change in air pressure and converts it into a change in capacitance. When the microphone inhales from the mesh side, the capacitance increases, and when the microphone blows from the mesh side, the capacitance decreases. The capacitance change is transmitted through the signal output terminal structure corresponding to the front of the microphone. The module structure of MEMS is simple in structure, easy to process, and has high product stability and yield.

[0008] The existing electronic cigarette microphones using MEMS modules are generally square MEMS packaging modules, which can only be used in the form of patches, and the output method is also single, and the internal device layout is also relatively difficult. This application uses a circular MEMS module package, the internal device layout is better, the airway detection is more accurate, and the airtightness is better.

[0011] Preferably, the signal output terminal provided on the PCB is a concentric circle pad for outputting capacitance value signals. The MEMS module of the microphone senses the pressure change and converts it into capacitance value change. When the mesh cloth faces the microphone and inhales air, the capacitance value increases. When the mesh cloth faces the microphone and blows air, the capacitance value decreases. The capacitance value change is transmitted through the "concentric circle" pad on the front of the microphone.

[0012] Preferably, the signal output terminal provided on the PCB is a pin for outputting capacitance value signal. The MEMS module of the microphone senses the change of air pressure and converts it into capacitance value change. When the microphone is inhaled from the mesh cloth side, the capacitance value increases, and when the microphone is blown from the mesh cloth side, the capacitance value decreases. The capacitance value change is transmitted through the two pins on the front of the microphone.

[0013] Preferably, the MEMS module is arranged at the center of the PCB, so that the layout is more flexible and better.

[0014] Preferably, the MEMS module and the pins are arranged on two opposite sides of the PCB respectively, so that the layout is more flexible and the layout is better.

[0015] Preferably, a plurality of circular air holes are distributed at the head end of the shell.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0017] 1. The MEMS module structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and has high product stability and yield.

[0018] 2. Use it in the form of SMT patches to improve the production efficiency of microphone users.
