[0031] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] Example 1: As Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a sealing structure for the gas outlet valve of a lighter, including a valve seat 1, a gas outlet needle 2, and a first sealing ring 21. The valve seat 1 has a sliding cavity, and the upper end of the valve seat 1 has an opening communicating with the sliding cavity. An air inlet 121 is opened on the valve seat 1, and the air inlet 121 is located below the sliding cavity. The lower part of the gas outlet needle 2 is axially slidably disposed in the sliding cavity, and the upper end of the gas outlet needle 2 extends out of the valve seat 1 through the opening. The gas outlet needle 2 has a gas outlet channel 22, and the upper end of the gas outlet needle 2 has a first gas outlet 23 communicating with the gas outlet channel 22. An air inlet 24 communicating with the gas outlet channel 22 is opened on the side wall of the gas outlet needle 2. The first sealing ring 21 is positioned inside the valve seat 1. When the lower end of the gas outlet needle 2 closes the air inlet 121, the lower part of the gas outlet needle 2 passes through the first sealing ring 21, and the first sealing ring 21 abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the gas outlet needle 2 to seal and prevent gas from entering the air inlet 24 of the gas outlet needle 2.

[0033] With the above settings, this embodiment eliminates the original T-shaped rubber stopper and makes the bottom of the vent needle 2 into an integrally sealed structure. The first sealing ring 21 is used to contact and squeeze the side wall of the vent needle 2 to achieve sealing. The valve is opened and vented when the vent needle 2 is lifted. This avoids the defects of the central airflow concentrating on the first sealing ring 21 and reduces the side effect of the first sealing ring 21 cooling down and failing after the airflow is dispersed. The state of the first sealing ring 21 hardening due to freezing is much better than that of the T-shaped rubber stopper. In the case of long ignition and combustion time, the flame is extinguished faster, which solves the problem of slow flameout after continuous ignition.

[0034] Example 2: As Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a lighter gas valve, including a gas needle sealing structure for a lighter gas valve as described in Embodiment 1, and also includes a valve body 3 and a spring 4; the valve body 3 has a first mounting cavity 31 inside, the valve seat 1 is fixedly disposed in the first mounting cavity 31, and the upper part of the gas needle 2 extends to the outside of the upper end of the valve body 3; the spring 4 is located in the first mounting cavity 31, the upper end of the spring 4 abuts against the inner wall of the top of the valve body 3, and the lower end of the spring 4 abuts against the retaining plate 25 on the outer wall of the gas needle 2. In the natural state, the spring 4 abuts against the retaining plate 25, causing the lower end of the gas needle 2 to block the air inlet 121. With this configuration, the original T-shaped rubber plug is eliminated in this embodiment. The bottom of the vent needle 2 is made into an integral closed structure. The first sealing ring 21 is used to contact and squeeze the side wall of the vent needle 2 to achieve sealing. The valve is opened and vented when the vent needle 2 is lifted. This avoids the defects of the central airflow concentrating on the first sealing ring 21 and reduces the side effect of the first sealing ring 21 cooling down and failing after the airflow is dispersed. The state of the first sealing ring 21 hardening after freezing is much better than that of the T-shaped rubber plug. When the ignition and combustion time is long, the flame is extinguished faster, which solves the problem of slow flameout after continuous ignition.

[0035] The standard for flameout time is: for an open flame height of 100 mm and continuous burning for 2 minutes, the flameout time should not exceed 3 seconds; for a flame of the same size and continuous burning for 20 seconds, the flameout time should be within 2 seconds. This is the ISO9004 general standard, which can basically be achieved by metal-copper exhaust valves. However, the existing disposable exhaust valves only require a 60 mm open flame and a continuous burning time of 20 seconds, resulting in a flameout time exceeding 3 seconds, which is far from meeting the requirements of ISO9004. Therefore, improvements and optimizations are needed.

[0036] In a lighter gas valve according to this embodiment, a limiting plate 12 is fixedly installed inside the valve seat 1, and a lower mounting groove 142 is opened at the bottom of the valve seat 1. The limiting plate 12 separates the sliding cavity from the lower mounting groove 142, and an air inlet 121 is opened on the limiting plate 12. This configuration is simple in structure and serves to limit the gas outlet needle 2.

[0039] In the gas outlet valve of the lighter of the embodiment, the valve seat 1 comprises an upper seat body 13 and a lower seat body 14. The upper seat body 13 is provided with an axially-through second mounting cavity 131, and the gas outlet needle 2 is slidably arranged in the second mounting cavity 131. The upper end of the upper seat body 13 abuts against the screw cap 33. The upper end of the lower seat body 14 is provided with an upper mounting groove 141, and the lower end of the lower seat body 14 is provided with a lower mounting groove 142. The limiting plate 12 is fixedly arranged in the lower seat body 14. The upper mounting groove 141 and the lower mounting groove 142 are separated by the limiting plate 12. The lower portion of the upper seat body 13 is interference-fitted in the upper mounting groove 141. In this way, the structure is simple, the upper seat body 13 and the lower seat body 14 are facilitated to be mounted, and the mounting stability is good.

[0040] In the gas outlet valve of the lighter of the embodiment, the side wall of the mounting shell 7 is provided with a radial clamping seat 72, the radial clamping seat 72 is located in the cylinder body 32, the inner wall of the lower end of the cylinder body 32 is provided with a radial limiting ring plate 322, and the radial clamping seat 72 is positioned by being clamped and connected with the radial limiting ring plate 322. In this way, the structure is simple, the cylinder body 32 and the mounting shell 7 are facilitated to be assembled, and the mounting stability is good.

[0041] In the gas outlet valve of the lighter of the embodiment, the second sealing ring 34 is arranged between the radial clamping seat 72 and the radial limiting ring plate 322. In this way, the sealing effect of the mounting shell 7 and the valve body 3 is improved.

[0042] In the gas outlet valve of the lighter of the embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the valve seat 1 is provided with a limiting groove 11, a third sealing ring 35 is arranged in the limiting groove 11, and the outer wall of the valve seat 1 and the inner wall of the valve body 3 are sealed by the third sealing ring 35.
