Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model specifically relates to a structure of a flip lighter. Background Art

[0002] Lighters are common ignition tools in daily life and are widely used in various scenarios such as smoking, cooking, and camping. Traditional lighters usually include a manually opened and closed lid to protect the ignition device from the external environment, such as wind, water, or dust, and also prevent safety issues caused by accidental operation. However, the lid of traditional lighters needs to be manually opened and closed by users, which may cause inconvenience in some cases, such as when hands are wet or when users have only one hand available.

[0003] With the development of technology, various types of lighters have emerged on the market. Among them, arc lighters have gradually gained favor among consumers due to their environmental protection, fuel-free, and easy ignition characteristics. Arc lighters use high-voltage discharge to generate an arc to ignite objects. Compared with traditional flame lighters, arc lighters are safer and have lower usage costs. Specifically, reference can be made to the patent solution structure of the arc lighter with the patent number CN202320760335.8 and the name "Arc Lighter".

[0004] However, this traditional arc lighter generally has a flip cover. The lighter's igniter can only be opened after the flip cover is opened, and there is no obvious stroke indication during the opening and closing process of the flip cover.

[0029] This embodiment provides a flip lighter structure, as Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, it includes a main body 1. An ignition device 11 is provided at the top of the main body 1. A protection cover 2 is rotatably connected to the main body 1 so that the protection cover 2 can be opened or closed to cover the ignition device 11. The protection cover 2 is connected with a first elastic member 21. One end of the first elastic member 21 is connected to the protection cover 2, so that the free end of the first elastic member 21 shakes after the protection cover 2 is opened. An impact member 22 is provided at the middle part or the free end of the first elastic member 21. A struck part 23 that can be struck by the impact member 22 when the first elastic member 21 shakes is provided at a position corresponding to the impact member 22 on the protection cover 2. In this embodiment, the struck part 23 is a protrusion provided on the inner side wall of the protection cover 2. Of course, the struck part 23 can also be a part of the inner side wall of the protection cover 2 and does not need to be provided in a protrusion shape. Preferably, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a protrusion can be provided on the side of the impact member 22 close to the protection cover 2. In this way, when in use, after the protection cover 2 is completely opened, the free end of the first elastic member 21 shakes, so that the impact member 22 hits the struck part 23, making a clear sound to achieve a prompting effect, prompting the user that the ignition device can be turned on, improving the humanization degree and the use convenience degree.

[0030] As Figures 2 to 4 shown, the lighter in this embodiment is an arc lighter. The ignition device 11 is an arc generator. A high-voltage package 12 connected to the arc generator, a control circuit board 13 connected to the high-voltage package 12, a battery 14 for power supply, and a push switch 15 for controlling the operation of the arc generator are provided in the main body 1. The arc lighter has many advantages such as strong wind resistance, reduced open flame, improved safety, and recyclability. Of course, the flip structure in this embodiment is also applicable to ordinary lighters.

[0031] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, preferably, the first elastic member 21 is a metal reed, and the impact member 22 is a metal block connected to the free end of the metal reed.

[0032] As a further optimized solution, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, the middle part of the first elastic member 21 has an arc-shaped bending section 211 to enable the first elastic member 21 to have a certain shaking amplitude. Preferably, the width of the arc-shaped bending section 211 is narrower than the width of other positions of the first elastic member 21.

[0033] In order to enable the protection cover 2 to be opened smoothly relative to the main body 1, a second elastic member 3 that can push the protection cover 2 to open or close is provided between the protection cover 2 and the main body 1.

[0034] Specifically, as Figure 2 andFigure 3 As shown, the second elastic member 3 is a torsion spring. One end of the torsion spring is rotatably connected to the main body 1, and the other end of the torsion spring is rotatably connected to the protective cover 2. Moreover, the connection position of the torsion spring and the protective cover 2 is eccentrically arranged. The two ends of the torsion spring are two connection feet, and the included angle between the two connection feet is about 90°. In this way, when the protective cover 2 is opened to about 30°, at this time, the included angle between the two connection feet of the torsion spring is reduced by about 10°. After that, the torsion spring automatically provides power to push open the protective cover 2. The maximum opening angle after the protective cover 2 is opened is about 90°, and at this time, the included angle between the two connection feet of the torsion spring is about 90°. Then, when the protective cover 2 is closed to a specific position, at this position, the included angle between the two connection feet of the torsion spring is reduced by about 20°. At this time, the torsion spring automatically provides power to close the protective cover 2, thereby realizing the automatic opening and closing of the protective cover 2.

[0035] As a further optimized solution, as Figures 2 to 5 shown, a buffer member 24 that can abut against the main body 1 after the protective cover 2 rotates relative to the main body 1 is provided on the protective cover 2. In this way, during the process of the protective cover 2 closing to fully opening, it can prevent the protective cover 2 from directly hitting the main body 1, thereby avoiding other sounds and affecting the structural stability and improving the structural reliability.

[0036] Specifically, as Figures 2 to 5 shown, the buffer member 24 includes a buffer plate 241. A connecting plate 242 is connected to the lower side of the buffer plate 241. Installation columns 243 extending to both sides are provided at the lower part of the connecting plate 242. The protective cover 2 includes a cover body 25. A connecting portion 26 is connected to the cover body 25. The connecting portion 26 is rotatably connected to the main body 1 so that the protective cover 2 can be opened or closed relative to the main body 1. An abutting portion 27 that can abut against the main body 1 when the protective cover 2 is opened relative to the main body 1 is connected to the side of the connecting portion 26 away from the cover body 25. A slot 271 for inserting the connecting plate 242 is provided on the abutting portion 27. A groove 272 that can accommodate the connecting plate 242 after the connecting plate 242 is inserted into the slot 271 is also provided on the abutting portion 27. Insertion holes 273 communicating with the slot 271 and used for inserting the installation columns 243 are provided on both sides of the abutting portion 27, thereby making the structure more reliable and firm.

[0037] Preferably, the buffer member 24 is an integral structure made of a flexible material, and the flexible material can be made of materials such as silica gel, rubber, or EVE sponge.

[0038] The above are only the embodiments of the present utility model, and common general knowledge such as specific structures and characteristics known in the solutions is not described in detail herein. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the structure of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can be made, and these should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model, and these will not affect the implementation effect of the present utility model and the practicability of the patent. The protection scope required by this application shall be subject to the content of its claims, and the specific implementation manners and the like recorded in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
