Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of electronic cigarettes, and particularly to a multi-cartridge electronic cigarette based on the Hall effect. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing emphasis on health, electronic cigarettes, as alternatives to traditional cigarettes, have attracted more and more attention from consumers, and multi-flavor electronic cigarettes are even more popular.
[0003] In the design of electronic cigarettes, multi-flavor electronic cigarettes are equipped with multiple cartridges inside, and most of them require independent switches and circuits to control their operation for each cartridge. This not only increases the complexity of circuit control but also increases the overall production cost. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] To solve or partially solve the problems existing in the above related technologies, this application provides a multi-cartridge electronic cigarette based on the Hall effect, which can reduce the complexity of circuit control and production cost, and at the same time improve the user's convenience and user experience.
[0005] A multi-cartridge electronic cigarette based on the Hall effect disclosed in an embodiment of this application adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A multi-cartridge electronic cigarette based on the Hall effect includes: an upper housing with a mouthpiece at one end, a first magnet provided at the other end, and a second magnet provided inside; a multi-cartridge mechanism accommodated in the upper housing, and including: a plurality of cartridge components, a partition member, a third magnet, and a fixing member. One ends of the plurality of cartridge components and the partition member are both fixed on the fixing member. The plurality of cartridge components are distributed around the partition member. The third magnet is located at one end of the partition member close to the mouthpiece for adsorbing the second magnet. The fixing member is located at one end of the plurality of cartridge components away from the mouthpiece; a control board accommodated in the fixing member and electrically connected to the plurality of cartridge components. A plurality of Hall switches are provided at positions corresponding to the plurality of cartridge components on the control board for sensing the first magnet; a lower housing provided opposite to the upper housing and fixedly sleeving the control board and the fixing member; wherein, based on the adsorption of the second magnet and the third magnet, the upper housing rotates relative to the multi-cartridge mechanism and the lower housing under an external force to drive the first magnet to rotate, and the plurality of Hall switches are used to sense the rotation position of the first magnet to control the corresponding one of the plurality of cartridge components to work.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the user wants to switch flavors, they only need to rotate the upper housing. Based on the adsorption force between the second magnet and the third magnet, the upper housing will rotate relative to the multi-cartridge mechanism and the lower housing. This rotation action can drive the first magnet to rotate accordingly. At this time, the Hall switch on the control board will accurately sense the rotation position of the first magnet, that is, the Hall effect is generated, thereby triggering the corresponding cartridge assembly to work. This design not only simplifies the user's operation, greatly improves the usability and user experience of the electronic cigarette, but also further reduces the complexity of circuit control and production costs.
[0008] Optionally, the multi-cartridge mechanism further includes: positioning posts, which are arranged on the fixing member and protrude from the sides of the plurality of cartridge assemblies, and a plurality of positioning grooves are correspondingly arranged on the upper housing for the positioning posts.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the upper housing rotates, the positioning posts can be inserted into the positioning grooves for positioning. This can not only enhance the structural stability between the upper housing and the multi-cartridge mechanism, but also provide the user with more explicit rotational positioning feedback, making the cartridge switching operation more accurate and smooth.
[0010] Optionally, a multi-cartridge electronic cigarette based on the Hall effect further includes: a vibration member, which is electrically connected to the control board and is located inside the lower housing.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, by electrically connecting the vibration member to the control board, when the user successfully switches the cartridge or the electronic cigarette appears in certain specific states (such as low battery, exhausted cartridge, etc.), the control board issues an instruction to make the vibration member vibrate, thereby reminding the user of the current state of the electronic cigarette in an intuitive and physical way. This design not only improves the user experience, but also enhances the interactivity and intelligence level of the electronic cigarette.
[0012] Optionally, the multi-cartridge mechanism further includes: a sleeve member, which is accommodated in the upper housing and is used for sleeving the plurality of cartridge assemblies and the third magnet. The sleeve member is provided with a smoke outlet through hole and a plurality of engaging grooves. When the smoke outlet through hole penetrates the smoke nozzle and the through hole of one of the plurality of cartridge assemblies, smoke is discharged from the smoke nozzle, and the plurality of engaging grooves are used for engaging the remaining cartridge assemblies among the plurality of cartridge assemblies.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a sleeved member is added to the multi-cartridge mechanism, enabling multiple cartridge assemblies and the third magnet to be compactly and orderly accommodated in the upper housing. An air outlet through-hole and multiple engaging grooves are designed on the sleeved member. When the user rotates the upper housing to a certain position, the air outlet through-hole will exactly align with the mouthpiece and the through-hole of the selected cartridge assembly, ensuring smooth discharge of the smoke from the mouthpiece. The remaining cartridge assemblies that are not in the working state will be engaged in the engaging grooves of the sleeved member, remaining stable and not affecting normal use.
[0014] Optionally, a groove mark corresponding to the positions of the multiple cartridge assemblies is provided on the outer side of the upper housing.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the groove mark is used to physically and clearly indicate the position of each cartridge assembly, enabling the user to more accurately locate the target position when rotating the upper housing to switch the cartridge assemblies.
[0016] Optionally, an outer housing is snap-fitted on the outside of each cartridge assembly among the multiple cartridge assemblies.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer housing can play a role in external protection. And by snap-fitting the outer housing, it is convenient for the assembly of the outer housing.
[0018] Optionally, a multi-cartridge electronic cigarette based on the Hall effect further includes: a battery, electrically connected to the control board and located inside the lower housing; a charging member, electrically connected to the battery and exposed outside the lower housing.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the battery and the charging member are provided to facilitate the charging of the electronic cigarette, thus ensuring the continuous use of the electronic cigarette.
[0020] Optionally, through-holes are provided on the second magnet and the third magnet.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the through-holes can reduce the weight of the second magnet and the third magnet, lower the overall weight of the electronic cigarette, make it more portable, and also facilitate the installation and fixation of the magnets, increase the structural stability, and extend the service life.
[0022] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0023] 1. Based on the adsorption force between the second magnet and the third magnet, when the user wants to switch flavors, they only need to rotate the upper shell, and the upper shell will rotate relative to the multi-cartridge mechanism and the lower shell. This rotation can drive the first magnet to rotate accordingly. At this time, the Hall switch on the control board will accurately sense the rotation position of the first magnet, that is, the Hall effect is generated, thereby triggering the corresponding cartridge assembly to work. This design not only simplifies the user's operation, greatly improves the usability and user experience of the electronic cigarette, but also further reduces the complexity of circuit control and production costs;
[0024] 2. When the upper shell rotates, the positioning posts can be inserted into the positioning grooves for positioning. This can not only enhance the structural stability between the upper shell and the multi-cartridge mechanism, but also provide the user with more explicit rotation positioning feedback, making the cartridge switching operation more accurate and smooth;
[0025] 3. Electrically connect the vibration component to the control board. When the user successfully switches the cartridge or the electronic cigarette appears in certain specific states (such as low battery, cartridge exhausted, etc.), the control board issues an instruction to make the vibration component vibrate, so as to remind the user of the current state of the electronic cigarette in an intuitive and physical way. This design not only improves the user experience, but also enhances the interactivity and intelligence level of the electronic cigarette. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0033] The following is a further detailed description of the present application.
[0034] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a multi-cartridge electronic cigarette based on the Hall effect disclosed in an embodiment of the present application includes: an upper housing 10, a multi-cartridge mechanism 20, a control board, and a lower housing 30.
[0035] Among them, the upper housing 10 is sleeved on the multi-cartridge mechanism 20, one end is set as the mouthpiece 11, the other end is provided with a first magnet 12, and a second magnet 13 is provided inside the upper housing 10 (see Figure 3 ).
[0036] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the multi-cartridge mechanism 20 includes multiple cartridge assemblies 21, a partition member 22, a third magnet 23, and a fixing member 24. The multiple cartridge assemblies 21 correspond to multiple flavors, and one ends of the multiple cartridge assemblies 21 and the partition member 22 are both fixed on the fixing member 24. The partition member 22 is made of plastic material, located between the multiple cartridge assemblies 21, and is used to separate the multiple cartridge assemblies 21 so that the multiple cartridge assemblies 21 are distributed on the periphery of the partition member 22.
[0037] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the third magnet 23 is located at one end of the partition member 22 close to the mouthpiece 11 and is used to adsorb the second magnet 13, thereby serving as a fulcrum for the rotation of the upper housing 10. The fixing member 24 is located at one end of the multiple cartridge assemblies 21 far from the mouthpiece 11 and is used to fix the multiple cartridge assemblies 21 and the partition member 22. Here, the fixing member 24 can be understood as a fixing base.
[0038] The control board is accommodated in the fixing member 24, electrically connected to the multiple cartridge assemblies 21, and at positions corresponding to the multiple cartridge assemblies 21 on the control board, a plurality of Hall switches are provided at different positions on the control board to sense the position of the first magnet 12. The lower housing 30 is disposed opposite to the upper housing 10 and is fixedly sleeved on the control board and the fixing member 24.
[0039] Thus, when the user wants to switch to different flavors for experience, they only need to rotate the upper housing 10. Based on the adsorption force between the second magnet 13 and the third magnet 23, the upper housing 10 will rotate relative to the multi-cartridge mechanism 20 and the lower housing 30. This rotation action can drive the first magnet 12 to rotate accordingly. At this time, the Hall switch on the control board will accurately sense the rotation position of the first magnet 12, that is, the Hall effect is generated, thereby triggering the corresponding cartridge assembly to work. This design not only simplifies the user's operation, greatly improves the usability and user experience of the electronic cigarette, but also further reduces the complexity of circuit control and production costs.
[0040] See Figure 4 , a groove mark 15 corresponding to the positions of the multiple cartridge assemblies 21 is provided on the outer side of the upper housing 10. Thus, the groove mark 15 can physically indicate the position of each cartridge assembly, enabling the user to more accurately locate the target position when rotating the upper housing 10 to switch the cartridge assemblies.
[0041] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , through holes 231 are provided on the second magnet 13 and the third magnet 23. Thus, the weights of the second magnet 13 and the third magnet 23 can be reduced, the overall load of the electronic cigarette can be decreased, making it more portable. In addition, it is beneficial for the installation and fixation of the magnets, increasing the structural stability and extending the service life.
[0042] See Figure 5 , an outer housing 211 is snap-fitted on the outside of each cartridge assembly in the multiple cartridge assemblies 21. Thus, it can play a role in external protection. And by snap-fitting the outer housing 211, the assembly of the outer housing 211 can be facilitated.
[0043] See Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the multi-cartridge mechanism 20 further includes: positioning posts 25, which are provided on the fixing member 24 and protrude from the sides of the multiple cartridge assemblies 21. Multiple positioning grooves 14 are provided on the upper housing 10 for accommodating the positioning posts 25.
[0044] Among them, when the upper housing 10 rotates, the positioning posts 25 can be embedded into one of the positioning grooves 14 for positioning. Thus, not only can the structural stability between the upper housing 10 and the multi-cartridge mechanism 20 be enhanced, but also more explicit rotational positioning feedback can be provided to the user, making the cartridge switching operation more accurate and smooth.
[0045] It should be noted here that the positioning posts 25 can be elastically connected to the fixing member 24, for example, through springs, so that the upper housing 10 can undergo a certain elastic deformation when rotating, that is, retract towards the fixing member 24, facilitating rotation, and reset when located in the positioning groove 14 to generate a certain rotational resistance to give positioning feedback.
[0046] See Figure 4 Figure 4 , the multi-cartridge mechanism 20 further includes: a sheathing member 50, which is accommodated in the upper housing 10 and is used for sheathing a plurality of cartridge assemblies 21 and a third magnet 23. The sheathing member 50 is provided with a smoke outlet through hole 51 and a plurality of engaging grooves 52;
[0047] Among them, the sheathing member 50 can be made of soft silicone material, so that a plurality of cartridge assemblies 21 and a third magnet 23 can be compactly and orderly accommodated in the upper housing 10.
[0048] In addition, a smoke outlet through hole 51 and a plurality of engaging grooves 52 are designed on the sheathing member 50. When the user rotates the upper housing 10 to a certain position, the smoke outlet through hole 51 will exactly align with the mouthpiece 11 of the mouthpiece 11 and a selected cartridge assembly through hole, so as to ensure that the smoke can smoothly discharge from the mouthpiece 11. The setting of the plurality of engaging grooves 52 can be used for the remaining cartridge assemblies that are not in the working state to be engaged, so that the plurality of cartridge assemblies 21 are kept structurally stable and do not affect normal use.
[0049] In summary, a multi-cartridge electronic cigarette disclosed in an embodiment of the present application is based on the adsorption force between the second magnet 13 and the third magnet 23. Only by rotating the upper housing 10, the upper housing 10 will rotate relative to the multi-cartridge mechanism 20 and the lower housing 30. This rotation action can drive the first magnet 12 to rotate accordingly. At this time, the Hall switch on the control board will accurately sense the rotation position of the first magnet 12, that is, the Hall effect is generated, so as to trigger the corresponding cartridge assembly to work. This design not only simplifies the operation of the user, greatly improves the convenience of using the electronic cigarette and the user experience, but also further reduces the complexity of circuit control and the production cost.
[0050] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited by this. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
