Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of microelectronic atomization equipment, in particular to a status flashing lamp bead for an electronic cigarette. Background Art

[0002] An electronic cigarette is an electronic delivery product that mainly generates nicotine-containing aerosol for people to inhale by atomizing or heating without combustion. It includes cartridges, smoking devices, and products sold in combination of cartridges and smoking devices, etc., and can be divided into two categories: heat-not-burn (HNB) electronic cigarettes and atomizing electronic cigarettes. Electronic cigarettes are used by some smokers to assist in quitting smoking in the health field.

[0003] In the prior art, the indicator light of an electronic cigarette, that is, the status flashing lamp bead, is an important indicator for users to understand the device status. However, like all small components in electronic devices, these lamp beads will face problems of loss and functional degradation after long-term use. Since these lamp beads are usually directly soldered on the circuit board or fixed in other ways, once damaged, they are often not easily replaced by users themselves. Therefore, when the status flashing lamp bead of an electronic cigarette fails, many users will choose to send it back to the manufacturer for repair or simply replace the new electronic cigarette device instead of trying to replace the lamp bead by themselves, resulting in a greatly increased use cost and a reduced user experience. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the disadvantages existing in the prior art and to propose a status flashing lamp bead for an electronic cigarette.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present utility model adopts the following technical solution: An electronic cigarette status flashing lamp bead, comprising a cigarette rod, a sinking groove is formed on the surface of the cigarette rod, an elliptical groove is formed at the bottom of the inner wall of the sinking groove, a top-cut rubber ring is fixed on the circumferential surface of the inner wall of the elliptical groove, a secondary rubber ring is fixed on the circumferential surface of the inner wall of the elliptical groove, a lamp bead is slidably connected to the inner wall of the elliptical groove, a bottom clamping part is fixed at the bottom of the lamp bead, a circular groove is formed at the bottom of the inner wall of the elliptical groove, a bearing column is slidably connected to the inner wall of the circular groove, a clamping shaft is fixed inside the bearing column, a clamping head is rotatably connected to the circumferential surface of the clamping shaft, a clamping tail is fixed at one end of the clamping head, a rectangular middle groove is formed in the middle of the circular groove, a conical groove is formed at the bottom of the inner wall of the circular groove, a bearing plate is fixed at the bottom of the bearing column, a pressing rod is fixed at the bottom of the bearing plate, a pressing plate is fixed at the bottom of the pressing rod, a return spring is fixed at the bottom of the pressing plate, a ball head is nested and connected on one side of the clamping head, a connecting rod is fixed on the circumferential surface of the ball head, a fixed short piece is fixed at one end of the connecting rod, a small-diameter spring is fixed at one end of the fixed short piece, and a plastic hose is fixed at one end of the fixed short piece. In the prior art, the indicator light of an electronic cigarette, that is, the status flashing lamp bead, is an important indicator for users to understand the status of the device. However, like small components in all electronic devices, these lamp beads will face problems of wear and functional degradation after long-term use. Since these lamp beads are usually directly soldered on the circuit board or fixed in other ways, once damaged, they are often not easily replaced by users themselves. Therefore, when the status flashing lamp bead of an electronic cigarette fails, many users will choose to send it back to the manufacturer for repair or simply replace the new electronic cigarette device instead of trying to replace the lamp bead by themselves, resulting in a greatly increased use cost and a reduced user experience. To solve such problems, the present utility model adopts the method of installing a clamping head. When the staff installs the lamp bead, they only need to align the lamp bead with the elliptical groove and gently press it, so that the lamp bead descends and overcomes the friction of the top-cut rubber ring, making the bottom clamping part contact with the clamping head, and the clamping head separates to both sides with the clamping shaft as the center and stretches the small-diameter spring at the same time. After the bottom clamping part passes through, the small-diameter spring releases elastic potential energy to reset the clamping head and fix the lamp bead. When the lamp bead is damaged and the user needs to disassemble and replace it, the user presses the lamp bead downward with force. The lamp bead needs to overcome the friction of the top-cut rubber ring and the secondary rubber ring and press the bearing column to move downward. When the clamping tail contacts the conical groove, the clamping head separates to both sides, so that the lamp bead is disengaged, and the user can extract the lamp bead to complete the disassembly, achieving the effect of improving the user experience.

[0006] Preferably, a storage bin is fixed on the surface of the cigarette rod. A hanging chain is fixed on the inner wall of the storage bin. One end of the storage bin is fixed with an insertion and sliding bin. A polymer clip is slidably connected to the inner wall of the insertion and sliding bin. In the prior art, as a portable smoking substitute, an electronic cigarette is often equipped with a neck chain for users to carry around. The original intention of this design is to ensure the portability and easy access of the electronic cigarette. However, in actual use, the process of assembling and disassembling the neck chain is too complicated. When the electronic cigarette is not needed, it will be hung around the neck. However, in the case of frequent removal and wearing, if the chain cannot be quickly and conveniently locked and released, this process may become cumbersome and time-consuming, thus reducing the actual use value and frequency of the accessory. To solve such problems, the present utility model adopts the method of installing a storage bin, so that when the user does not need to use the hanging chain, the hanging chain can be put into the storage bin, and the polymer clip is slid to the other end of the insertion and sliding bin to temporarily close the storage bin, achieving the effect of improving the user experience.

[0007] Preferably, a stable triangular ring is fixed on the circumferential surface of the inner wall of the elliptical groove. A secondary rubber ring is fixed on the top of the stable triangular ring. In the prior art, the secondary rubber ring in the electronic cigarette is used to ensure the stability and waterproofness of the internal components of the product. Its inner diameter is small, and it will bear a large force when the lamp bead moves downward. The concentration of this force will cause the rubber ring material to bear excessive pressure, resulting in its instability in the designed position and easy detachment from the product, reducing the service life of the product. To solve such problems, the present utility model adopts the method of installing a stable triangular ring, achieving the effect of improving the stability of the component through a stable triangular structure and improving the service life of the device.

[0008] Preferably, anti-slip grooves are formed on the surface of the cigarette rod to increase the friction between the product and the fingers, prevent dropping, and improve the user experience.

[0009] Preferably, the depth of the sunk groove is greater than the height of the lamp bead to prevent the lamp bead from being higher than the surface of the product and improve the service life of the product.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the chuck is provided with a rounded corner to reduce wear and improve the service life of the product.

[0011] Preferably, the diameter of the bearing plate is greater than the width of the rectangular middle groove to improve the bearing effect.

[0012] Beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. In the prior art, the indicator light of the electronic cigarette, that is, the status flashing lamp bead, is an important indicator for users to understand the status of the device. However, like all small components in electronic devices, these lamp beads will face the problem of wear and functional degradation after long-term use. Since these lamp beads are usually directly soldered on the circuit board or fixed in other ways, once damaged, they are often not easy to be replaced by users themselves. Therefore, when the status flashing lamp bead of the electronic cigarette fails, many users will choose to send it back to the manufacturer for repair, or simply replace a new electronic cigarette device, instead of trying to replace the lamp bead by themselves, which greatly increases the cost of use and reduces the user experience. In response to such problems, this invention The new type of installation chuck is used to solve the problem. When the staff installs the lamp bead, they only need to align the lamp bead with the elliptical groove and press it gently to make the lamp bead drop and overcome the friction of the top cut rubber ring, so that the bottom clamp part contacts the chuck, and the chuck stretches the small-diameter spring at the same time in order to separate to both sides with the clamp axis. After the bottom clamp part passes, the small-diameter spring releases the elastic potential energy to reset the chuck and fix the lamp bead. When the lamp bead is damaged and the user needs to disassemble and replace it, the user presses the lamp bead downward with force. The lamp bead needs to overcome the friction of the top cut rubber ring and the auxiliary rubber ring, and presses the bearing column to move downward. When the clamp tail contacts the conical groove, the chuck separates to both sides to make the lamp bead detached. The user pulls out the lamp bead to complete the disassembly, thereby improving the user experience.

[0014] 2. In the prior art, electronic cigarettes, as a portable smoking substitute, are often equipped with neck chains for users to carry with them. The original intention of this design is to ensure the portability and easy access of electronic cigarettes. However, in actual use, the process of assembling and disassembling the neck chain is too complicated. When the electronic cigarette is not needed, people will choose to hang it around the neck. However, in the case of frequent removal and wearing, if the chain cannot be locked and released quickly and conveniently, the process may become cumbersome and time-consuming, thereby reducing the actual use value and frequency of the accessory. To solve this problem, the utility model adopts the method of installing a storage bin to achieve the solution, so that when the user does not need to use the hanging chain, the hanging chain can be stored in the storage bin, and the polymer clip can be slid to the other end of the embedded sliding bin to temporarily close the storage bin, thereby improving the user experience.

[0015] 3. In the prior art, the secondary rubber ring in the electronic cigarette is used to ensure the stability and waterproofness of the internal components of the product. Its inner diameter is small, and it will be subjected to a large force when the lamp bead moves downward. This concentration of force will cause the rubber ring material to be subjected to excessive pressure, causing it to become unstable in the designed position, causing it to easily detach from the product, reducing the service life of the product. To solve this problem, the utility model adopts the method of installing a stable triangular ring to solve it, thereby achieving the effect of improving the stability of the component through a stable triangular structure and increasing the service life of the equipment.

[0024] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the drawings. Specific embodiment:

[0026] Refer to Figures 1-5, An e-cigarette status flashing lamp bead, including a cigarette rod 1. There is a sunken groove 101 on the surface of the cigarette rod 1. An elliptical groove 103 is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the sunken groove 101. A top-cut rubber ring 104 is fixed on the peripheral surface of the inner wall of the elliptical groove 103. A secondary rubber ring 105 is fixed on the peripheral surface of the inner wall of the elliptical groove 103. A lamp bead 102 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the elliptical groove 103. A bottom clip part 109 is fixed at the bottom of the lamp bead 102. A circular groove 106 is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the elliptical groove 103. A bearing column 1010 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the circular groove 106. A clamping shaft 1011 is fixed inside the bearing column 1010. A clamping head 1012 is rotatably connected to the peripheral surface of the clamping shaft 1011. A clamping tail 1013 is fixed at one end of the clamping head 1012. A rectangular middle groove 108 is opened in the middle of the circular groove 106. A tapered groove 107 is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the circular groove 106. A bearing plate 1014 is fixed at the bottom of the bearing column 1010. A pressure rod 1015 is fixed at the bottom of the bearing plate 1014. A pressure plate 1016 is fixed at the bottom of the pressure rod 1015. A return spring 1017 is fixed at the bottom of the pressure plate 1016. A ball head 301 is nested and connected to one side of the clamping head 1012. A connecting rod 302 is fixed on the peripheral surface of the ball head 301. A fixed short piece 303 is fixed at one end of the connecting rod 302. A small-diameter spring 304 is fixed at one end of the fixed short piece 303. A plastic hose is fixed at one end of the fixed short piece 303. The indicator light of the e-cigarette, that is, the status flashing lamp bead, is an important indicator for users to understand the status of the device. However, like small components in all electronic devices, these lamp beads will face problems of wear and functional degradation after long-term use. Since these lamp beads are usually directly soldered on the circuit board or fixed in other ways, once damaged, they are often not easily replaced by users themselves. Therefore, when the status flashing lamp bead of the e-cigarette fails, many users will choose to send it back to the manufacturer for repair or simply replace the new e-cigarette device instead of trying to replace the lamp bead by themselves, resulting in a significant increase in the use cost and a reduction in the user experience. It is solved by adopting the method of installing the clamping head 1012. When the staff installs the lamp bead 102, they only need to align the lamp bead 102 with the elliptical groove 103 and gently press it, so that the lamp bead 102 descends and overcomes the friction force of the top-cut rubber ring 104, making the bottom clip part 109 contact with the clamping head 1012, and the clamping head 1012 separates to both sides with the clamping shaft 1011 as the center and stretches the small-diameter spring 304 at the same time. After the bottom clip part 109 passes through, the small-diameter spring 304 releases the elastic potential energy to reset the clamping head 1012 and fix the lamp bead 102. When the lamp bead 102 is damaged and the user needs to disassemble and replace it, the user presses the lamp bead 102 downward with force. The lamp bead 102 needs to overcome the friction forces of the top-cut rubber ring 104 and the secondary rubber ring 105, and presses the bearing column 1010 to move downward. When the clamping tail 1013 contacts the tapered groove 107, the clamping head 1012 separates to both sides, so that the lamp bead 102 is disengaged, and the user can extract the lamp bead 102 to complete the disassembly, achieving the effect of improving the user experience.A stable triangular ring 3 is fixed to the inner circumferential surface of the elliptical groove 103. A secondary rubber ring 105 is fixed to the top of the stable triangular ring 3. The secondary rubber ring 105 in the electronic cigarette is used to ensure the stability and waterproofness of the internal components of the product. Its inner diameter is small, and it will bear a large force when the lamp bead 102 moves downward. The concentration of this force will cause the rubber ring material to bear excessive pressure, resulting in its instability in the designed position and making it easy to detach from the product, reducing the service life of the product. This is solved by installing the stable triangular ring 3, achieving the improvement of the stability of the components through a stable triangular structure and the effect of extending the service life of the device. One end of the chuck 1012 is provided with a rounded corner to reduce wear and extend the service life of the product. The diameter of the bearing plate 1014 is larger than the width of the rectangular middle groove 108 to improve the bearing effect.

[0027] A storage bin 2 is fixed to the surface of the cigarette rod 1. A hanging chain 203 is fixed to the inner wall of the storage bin 2. One end of the storage bin 2 is fixed with an embedded sliding bin 201. A polymer clip 202 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the embedded sliding bin 201. As a portable smoking alternative, electronic cigarettes are often equipped with a neck chain for users to carry around. The original intention of this design is to ensure the portability and easy access of the electronic cigarette. However, in actual use, the process of assembling and disassembling the neck chain is too complicated. When the electronic cigarette is not needed, users will choose to hang it around their necks. However, in the case of frequent removal and wearing, if the chain cannot be quickly and conveniently locked and released, this process may become cumbersome and time-consuming, thus reducing the actual use value and frequency of the accessory. This is solved by installing the storage bin 2, achieving the effect of improving the user experience by allowing the user to store the hanging chain 203 in the storage bin 2 when not in use and sliding the polymer clip 202 to the other end of the embedded sliding bin 201 to temporarily close the storage bin 2. The depth of the sinking groove 101 is greater than the height of the lamp bead 102 to prevent the lamp bead 102 from being higher than the product surface and extend the service life of the product. Anti-slip grooves 4 are provided on the surface of the cigarette rod 1 to increase the friction between the product and the fingers, prevent dropping, and improve the user experience.

[0028] The working principle of the present utility model: When the staff installs the lamp bead 102, they only need to align the lamp bead 102 with the elliptical groove 103 and gently press it, so that the lamp bead 102 descends and overcomes the friction of the top-cut rubber ring 104, causing the bottom chuck part 109 to contact the chuck 1012, and the chuck 1012 separates to both sides with the chuck shaft 1011 as the center and stretches the small-diameter spring 304 at the same time. After the bottom chuck part 109 passes through, the small-diameter spring 304 releases its elastic potential energy to reset the chuck 1012 and fix the lamp bead 102. When the lamp bead 102 is damaged and the user needs to disassemble and replace it, the user presses the lamp bead 102 downward with force. The lamp bead 102 needs to overcome the friction of the top-cut rubber ring 104 and the secondary rubber ring 105, and presses the bearing column 1010 to move downward. When the chuck tail 1013 contacts the tapered groove 107, the chuck 1012 separates to both sides, causing the lamp bead 102 to disengage, and the user can extract the lamp bead 102 to complete the disassembly.
