Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighter technology, and in particular to a lighter with a convenient replaceable movement mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] A lighter is a small fire-starting device used for ignition, smoking, cooking, and other purposes. The casing of a modern lighter is generally made of precious metals such as copper, and often features patterns or other surface treatments. The cost of the casing is significantly higher than that of the movement. When the movement is damaged, it is usually repaired or replaced. However, the multiple components of the movement in a modern lighter are typically fixed to the casing with screws and pins, and these parts are interconnected. Replacing or repairing the movement requires disassembling all the components, which is inconvenient and results in high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lighter with a convenient mechanism for replacement. By separating the mechanism and the housing and connecting them with a snap-fit, the disassembly and replacement of the mechanism can be facilitated, greatly reducing the maintenance and repair costs of the lighter.
[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A lighter with a convenient replaceable mechanism includes a separate housing, a mechanism, and a buckle. The mechanism is a side-press ignition mechanism. The bottom of the housing is formed with an insertion port, and the interior of the housing is hollow. The mechanism passes through the insertion port and is inserted into the housing.
[0006] The upper side of the housing is formed with a slot, and a detachable buckle is fitted inside the slot. The buckle is inserted into the movement.
[0007] When a lighter breaks and the movement needs to be replaced, simply pull the clip out of the slot. The movement will then be freed from the clip and can be easily pulled out of the housing. Then, insert the new movement back into the housing and insert the clip into the slot to secure the movement inside the housing, making the movement replacement easy and convenient.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the mechanism includes an upper connecting seat and a lower end cover, the lower end cover being inserted into the bottom of the housing;
[0009] The upper connecting seat includes an upper limit post and a lower limit post that are aligned and set, and a small diameter post is provided between the upper limit post and the lower limit post;
[0010] The buckle includes a U-shaped buckle body, with a support plate formed on the upper inner side of the buckle body, and the support plate having an inner opening relief groove; the relief groove is inserted into the small-diameter post; the bottom of the upper limit post abuts against the support plate.
[0011] Through the above technical solution, the support plate plays a supporting and blocking role for the upper limit column, which can prevent the movement from moving downward and detaching from the case.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the slot is U-shaped;
[0013] The inner edge of the card slot is formed with a positioning protrusion;
[0014] The outer wall of the buckle body is flush with the outer wall of the housing, and the inner wall of the buckle body rests against the positioning protrusion.
[0015] Through the above technical solution, the positioning protrusion can limit the buckle body in the front and back directions, preventing it from moving back and forth on the housing, thus avoiding the problem of misalignment and unevenness between the buckle body and the housing.
[0016] The present invention is further configured such that: the support plate is formed with a ball-shaped hole;
[0017] The upper limit post has a ball head rod hole coaxially arranged with the ball socket hole. A ball head rod is sleeved in the ball head rod hole. The lower end of the ball head rod is inserted into the ball socket hole. The upper end of the ball head rod is provided with a compression spring. The upper end of the compression spring is provided with a stud. The stud is screwed into the ball head rod hole.
[0018] With the above technical solution, when the buckle is inserted into the slot, the ball head rod is inserted into the ball socket hole. Under the action of the compression spring, the ball head rod can play a blocking role against the buckle, thereby preventing the buckle from automatically disengaging from the slot.
[0019] When the movement needs to be replaced, pull the clip outward forcefully. The ball joint hole overcomes the pressure of the compression spring on the ball joint, causing the ball joint to move upward and disengage from the ball joint hole, thereby removing the clip and facilitating the replacement of the movement.
[0020] The present invention is further configured such that: the buckle body is formed with a ventilation opening, which allows air to enter the housing, ensuring the normal use of the lighter and improving the lighter's sensitivity.
[0021] The outstanding effect of this utility model is:
[0022] Compared with existing technologies, by separating the movement and housing and connecting them with snap-fit, the movement can be easily disassembled and replaced, greatly reducing the maintenance and repair costs of lighters.
[0023] The engagement of the compressed ball joint and the ball socket effectively prevents the latch from slipping out automatically. Attached Figure Description
