[0029] It should be noted that the indicating unit 140 includes a resistor R7, a capacitor C3, and a light-emitting diode U3.

The model of the MOS transistor Q1 is AO3400. The operating voltage of the voltage input terminal is 4.7V to 5.5V. When the trigger signal of the switching unit 130 does not disappear, after a delay of 5 to 20 s, the indicating unit 140 is turned off and the heating unit 120 stops working. Among them, the switching unit 130 can be a push-button switch or other switches. Other switches such as probes and blowing can realize the electronic switch for lighting the heating wire. The trigger signal can be a long press of the button, or sensor induction or pressing, etc., which can be specifically set according to the actual situation and is not limited here.
[0030] Specifically, the chip U4 includes 8 pins.

After being powered on, long press the switch unit 130, and the heating wire will be immediately lit. At the same time, the LED lamp, that is, the light-emitting diode U3, will light up and show red. If the switch unit 130 is not released, the lamp will automatically go out and the flame will go out after a 10s delay. Pressing the corresponding button of the switch unit 130 again is required to restart the cigarette lighter. Among them, a 10s delay is preferred and can be set according to the actual situation specifically. The working voltage is preferably 5V because too high a voltage will damage the chip and the heating wire, and too low a voltage will cause the heating wire to fail to light the cigarette.
