Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fuel lighter technology, specifically to a flip-type locking mechanism and a fuel lighter. Background Technology

[0002] Fuel lighters, also known as gasoline lighters, use fuel as an ignition source and are widely used in daily life. Current fuel lighters with flip-top ignition work by flipping the cap, which rotates the flint wheel, causing it to rub against the flint and ignite the ignition cotton. When the cap closes, the extinguishing cover on the cap covers the ignition cotton, extinguishing the flame. However, current fuel lighters cannot lock the cap in the open position, thus preventing the ignition cotton from remaining lit for an extended period, which fails to meet user needs.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] This utility model provides a toggle-type flip-top locking mechanism, see reference. Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the toggle-type flip-top locking mechanism includes a toggle member 31, which is disposed on the cover 2 of the fuel lighter. The toggle member 31 is rotatably connected to the cover 2, and the toggle member 31 is provided with a toggle part 311 and an abutment part 312.

[0036] When not in use, the cover 2 is closed onto the body 1.

[0037] When igniting by flipping the cover, press the cover 2 to flip it open and ignite it. At this time, move the pressing part 311 to rotate it relative to the cover 2 until the contact part 312 abuts against the body 1 of the fuel lighter, and the cover 2 is locked in the open state.

[0038] Before closing the cover, push the lever 311 in the opposite direction to release the locked state.

[0039] This utility model uses a toggle member 31 with a toggle part 311 and an abutment part 312. By toggling and pressing, the cover 2 can be stably locked in the open state, thereby achieving long-term flame maintenance and facilitating user operation.

[0040] Example 2:

[0041] Example 2 is based on Example 1:

[0042] refer to Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the actuating element 31 is configured as an actuating plate, and the first end of the actuating plate is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the machine cover 2 via a hinge shaft 314; a portion of the actuating plate extends toward the side close to the grinding wheel mechanism 4 and forms an extension plate, and the outer wall surface of the extension plate is provided with an abutment surface.

[0043] When locking the cover 2, press the extension plate, and the actuating member 31 rotates relative to the cover 2 until the abutting surface abuts against the top wall of the cover 2. At this time, the abutting surface is supported by a force, which acts on the cover 2 through the hinge shaft 314, thereby keeping the cover 2 in the open state.

[0044] The extension plate forms a toggle part 311, and the contact surface forms a contact part 312.

[0045] As an optional implementation, the actuating member 31 is provided with a locking part 313, and the grinding wheel mechanism 4 of the fuel lighter is provided with a locking part 411.

[0046] When the cover 2 is in the closed state, the locking part 313 engages with the locking part 411.

[0047] When the cover is flipped open for ignition, the cover 2 is flipped open. During this process, the actuating part 31 rotates at a certain angle along with the cover 2, causing the locking part 313 to drive the locking part 411 to rotate, thereby driving the grinding wheel mechanism 4 to rotate, thus achieving ignition.

[0048] The actuating member 31 with the locking part 313 can not only lock the cover 2, but also be used for linkage of the grinding wheel mechanism 4, so that the grinding wheel mechanism 4 rotates during the opening process and cooperates with the flint mechanism 5 to ignite the ignition cotton mechanism 6, so as to realize the simultaneous opening of the cover and ignition.

[0049] As an optional implementation, the latching part 313 is configured as a latching hook, and the engaging part 411 is configured as an engaging block. The engaging block is adapted to the latching hook, and the latching hook is disposed at the second end of the toggle plate.

[0050] With this configuration, the structure is simpler, building upon the linkage between the actuating element 31 and the grinding wheel mechanism 4.

[0051] As an optional implementation, the cover 2 is flip-closed on the top of the body 1 via the first fixed shaft 22; the first fixed shaft 22 is fitted with a first elastic element 23.

[0052] The first elastic element 23 is configured as a first torsion spring. When the cover 2 is in the open state, the first elastic element 23 is in a deformed state.

[0053] The first elastic element 23 has two functions: firstly, when the cover 2 is in the open state, it applies an elastic force to the cover 2, and the elastic force acts on the actuating element 31 through the hinge shaft 314, thereby making the abutting surface firmly press against the top wall of the body 1 and improving the locking stability; secondly, when the actuating element 31 is pushed in the opposite direction to unlock, it can drive the cover 2 to close automatically.

[0054] As an optional implementation, a fixing plate 24 is provided on the inner side of the cover 2, the actuating member 31 is located between the fixing plate 24 and the side wall of the cover 2, one end of the hinge shaft 314 is connected to the side wall of the cover 2, and the other end of the hinge shaft 314 passes through the first end of the actuating member 31 and the fixing plate 24 in sequence, and is connected to a limiting end. The limiting end and the fixing plate 24 form an abutment groove 3141, one end of the first elastic member 23 abuts against the body 1, and the other end of the first elastic member 23 abuts against the abutment groove 3141.

[0055] In this way, while ensuring the installation effect of the actuating component 31 and the first elastic component 23, the structure is made simpler and more compact, making it easier to disassemble, assemble, and maintain later.

[0056] As an optional implementation, a first limiting part 21 is provided on the rear side of the cover 2, and a second limiting part 11 is provided on the top wall of the body 1 at the position corresponding to the first limiting part 21. The first limiting part 21 is configured as a first limiting block, and the second limiting part 11 is configured as a second limiting block.

[0057] When the cover 2 is in the open state, the first limiting part 21 abuts against the second limiting part 11.

[0058] The first limiting part 21 and the second limiting part 11 work together to effectively limit the opening angle of the cover 2, and the limiting effect is significant.

[0059] Example 3

[0060] Example 3 is based on Example 2:

[0061] This utility model provides a fuel lighter, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the fuel lighter includes a body 1, a cover 2, and a flip-type locking mechanism 3.

[0062] The fuel lighter also includes a grinding wheel mechanism 4, a flint mechanism 5, and an ignition cotton mechanism 6. The grinding wheel mechanism 4 is rotatably mounted on the body 1. The flint mechanism 5 is located below the grinding wheel mechanism 4 and is in contact with the grinding wheel 42 of the grinding wheel mechanism 4. The ignition cotton mechanism 6 is mounted on the body 1 and is located on one side of the flint mechanism 5.

[0063] The grinding wheel mechanism 4, the flint mechanism 5, and the ignition cotton mechanism 6 work together to start a fire.

[0064] As an optional implementation, the grinding wheel mechanism 4 includes a support frame 41, a grinding wheel 42, a pawl 43, and a second elastic element 44. A second fixed shaft 12 is fixedly installed on the body 1, and a prying part is integrally provided on the cover 2 for pressing when opening the cover for ignition.

[0065] The support frame 41 is rotatably mounted on the second fixed shaft 12, and the engaging part 411 is mounted on one side of the outer wall of the support frame 41. The engaging part 411 engages with the engaging part 313 of the actuating member 31.

[0066] The grinding wheel 42 is rotatably mounted on the second fixed shaft 12 and can rotate relative to the support frame 41. Multiple ratchet teeth 421 are arranged circumferentially on the end face of the grinding wheel 42 near the pawl 43.

[0067] The pawl 43 is fixedly connected to the support frame 41 and rotates synchronously with the support frame 41.

[0068] The second elastic element 44 is configured as a second torsion spring, which is sleeved on the second fixed shaft 12, and its two ends are respectively connected to the support frame 41 and the machine body 1.

[0069] When the cover is flipped open for ignition, the user presses the pry bar on the cover 2, causing the cover 2 to flip open and rotate the actuating element 31 by a certain angle. The actuating element 31 drives the support frame 41 to rotate forward, and the pawl 43 rotates forward synchronously. The ratchet teeth 421 slide relative to each other, and the second elastic element 44 deforms. As the cover 2 continues to rotate, the locking part 313 disengages from the locking part 411. The second elastic element 44, which is in a deformed state, drives the support frame 41 to move in the opposite direction and return to its initial state. During this process, the pawl 43 rotates in the opposite direction with the support frame 41 and engages with the ratchet teeth 421, thereby driving the grinding wheel 42 to rotate. The rotating grinding wheel 42 rubs against the flint mechanism 5 to generate sparks, thereby igniting the ignition cotton mechanism 6 and achieving ignition.
