Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic cigarettes, and particularly to a circuit for a flowing water running horse lamp of an electronic cigarette and an electronic cigarette. Background Art
[0002] As an emerging alternative to smoking, the market for electronic cigarettes has been continuously expanding globally. Among them, the flowing water running horse lamp, as a popular display effect in electronic cigarettes, attracts users' attention through the dynamic changes of LED lights, enhancing the aesthetics and entertainment of the product.
[0003] The main defects faced by the current circuit design of the flowing water running horse lamp of electronic cigarettes are the high consumption of IO port resources and strong dependence on the performance of the MCU. In the existing design of the flowing water running horse lamp of electronic cigarettes, if a customer needs to achieve the effect of four LEDs flowing water running horse cycle lighting, according to the conventional design method, each LED module may need to be controlled separately, and a total of seven IO port resources are required to achieve this control. This means that the microcontroller needs to have sufficient IO ports, thus restricting the flexibility of chip selection. For an MCU with fewer IO ports, to achieve the same lighting effect, additional external hardware support may be required, such as using a multiplexer or an extended port, which undoubtedly increases the cost of the system and the complexity of the design.

[0028] For the above-provided circuit of the flowing water and running horse lamp of the electronic cigarette, by setting a plurality of lighting modules connected in sequence, each module has a lighting unit therein, and each lighting unit includes a plurality of lighting lamps.

By connecting the same-function pins of different lighting units to the same controller to control the lighting of different lighting lamps, the number of required IO ports is significantly reduced, and the flexibility of chip selection is improved.
[0029] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0030] According to Figure 1 - Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a circuit 100 for a flowing water and running horse lamp of an electronic cigarette, including a plurality of lighting modules connected in sequence.

[0032] Specifically, by connecting multiple lighting modules, continuous and complex lighting effects, such as "water flow" and "marquee" effects, are achieved, thereby enhancing the visual appeal and user experience of the product. The four pins of each lighting module enable flexible connection and signal transmission between multiple lighting modules and between the module and the controller.
[0033] Furthermore, the four controllers respectively manage the output signals of their respective pins.

Controlling any one of the controllers will light up the connected lighting module, and then light up the lighting lamp on the connected pin.
[0034] In a specific embodiment, the multiple lighting modules include a first lighting module LD1, a second lighting module LD2, a third lighting module LD3, and a fourth lighting module LD4. The first lighting module LD1 has a first lighting unit 50, the second lighting module LD2 has a second lighting unit 60, the third lighting module LD3 has a third lighting unit 70, the fourth lighting module LD4 has a fourth lighting unit 80, and the first lighting unit 50, the second lighting unit 60, the third lighting unit 70, and the fourth lighting unit 80 are connected in sequence.

The third lighting lamp B1, the sixth lighting lamp B2, the ninth lighting lamp B3, and the twelfth lighting lamp B4 are blue light-emitting lamps. The third pin IO3 serves as the common control pin of the first lighting unit 50 for controlling the lighting of the first lighting module LD1. The second pin IO2 serves as the common control pin of the second lighting unit 60. The first pin IO1 serves as the common control pin of the third lighting unit 70. The fourth control pin serves as the common control pin of the fourth lighting unit 80. When the common control pin outputs a high level and any one of the first pin IO1, the second pin IO2, the third pin IO3, or the fourth pin IO4 controls the output of a low level, the connected lighting lamp is lit.
[0038] In summary, in the first lighting unit 50, the first lighting lamp G1 connects the first pin IO1 and the third pin IO3, such that when the control makes the third pin IO3 output a high level and the first pin IO1 output a low level, the first lighting lamp G1 emits light; the second lighting lamp R1 connects the second pin IO2 and the third pin IO3, such that when the control makes the third pin IO3 output a high level and the second pin IO2 output a low level, the second lighting lamp R1 emits light; the third lighting lamp B1 connects the second pin IO2 and the third pin IO3, such that when the control makes the third pin IO3 output a high level and the second pin IO2 output a low level, the third lighting lamp B1 emits light.

In the fourth lighting unit 80, the tenth lighting lamp G4 connects the fourth pin IO4 and the second pin IO2, such that when the control makes the fourth pin IO4 output a high level and the second pin IO2 output a low level, the tenth lighting lamp G4 emits light; the eleventh lighting lamp R4 connects the first pin IO1 and the fourth pin IO4, such that when the control makes the fourth pin IO4 output a high level and the first pin IO1 output a low level, the eleventh lighting lamp R4 emits light; the twelfth lighting lamp B4 connects the fourth pin IO4 and the third pin IO3, such that when the control makes the fourth pin IO4 output a high level and the third pin IO3 output a low level, the twelfth lighting lamp B4 emits light.
[0039] In a specific embodiment, the lighting unit is a light-emitting diode (LED) lamp.
[0040] Specifically, in the present application, when controlling the first controller 10 to output a high level, due to the unidirectional conductivity of the current, it can only flow through the third lighting unit 70 of the third lighting module LD3. A high level is output from the first pin IO1 of the third lighting unit 70. When controlling the second controller 20 to output a low level, the second pin IO2 outputs a low level. Since the current flows from the high level to the low level, the seventh lighting lamp G3 of the third lighting is lit.
[0041] In a specific embodiment, the plurality of lighting lamps work independently and sequentially.
[0042] Specifically, the control component processes to control the level states of each controller in sequence. The control component switches the level states of the controllers one by one according to a preset order and time interval, so as to control the lighting and extinguishing of each light-emitting diode.
[0043] In a specific embodiment, the first lighting unit 50 further includes a plurality of resistors, and the first lighting lamp G1, the second lighting lamp R1, and the third lighting lamp B1 are respectively connected to one of the resistors.
[0044] Specifically, in the embodiments of the present application, resistors are connected to each lighting unit, namely the first lighting unit 50, the second lighting unit 60, the third lighting unit 70, and the fourth lighting unit 80. A resistor is connected to each of the three lighting lamps on each lighting unit.
[0045] In a specific embodiment, an electronic cigarette includes a housing and the circuit of the flowing water and running horse lamp. The specific description is analyzed based on the above materials.
[0046] Therefore, for the circuit 100 of the flowing water and running horse lamp of the electronic cigarette provided above, by arranging a plurality of sequentially connected lighting modules, each module has a lighting unit, and each lighting unit includes a plurality of lighting lamps. The key lies in that each lighting unit is equipped with a first pin IO1, a second pin IO2, a third pin IO3, and a fourth pin IO4, and these four pins are respectively connected to four different controllers. By setting one controller, the first pin IO1, the second pin IO2, the third pin IO3, or the third pin IO3 of all lighting units can be controlled, so as to control the lighting of different lighting lamps. By connecting the same-function pins of different lighting units to the same controller to control the lighting of different lighting lamps, the number of required IO ports is significantly reduced, and the flexibility of chip selection is improved.
[0047] The above are only the implementation manners of the present application. It should be noted here that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the creative concept of the present application, improvements can still be made, but these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
