Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic cigarette technology, and in particular to an electronic cigarette with multiple flavors that can be rotated and switched. Background Technology
[0002] Smoking is harmful to health, potentially causing serious respiratory illnesses and cancer, and making it extremely difficult for smokers to quit completely. This is because the active ingredient in cigarettes is nicotine. When smoking, nicotine is absorbed into the alveoli along with the large amount of tar droplets produced by the combustion of the cigarette. Once absorbed into the bloodstream, nicotine acts on receptors in the central nervous system. This harmful effect extends beyond cigarettes; passive smoking is proven to be even more harmful to non-smokers. To reduce the harm of cigarettes, a substitute has emerged: e-cigarettes. Also known as virtual cigarettes, electronic atomizers, or electronic cigars, e-cigarettes have the same appearance and taste as traditional cigarettes. They are primarily used to simulate the sensation of smoking without compromising health, serving as a means of quitting smoking or as a cigarette substitute.
[0003] However, existing e-cigarette atomizers usually only offer one flavor. To experience different flavors, users need to replace the internal cartridges, which is inconvenient and results in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0025] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description of this utility model will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] A multi-flavor electronic cigarette with a rotating switchable flavor, see reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The system includes a housing 10, a control component housed within the housing 10, a battery 20 powering the control component, multiple atomizing units, and a mouthpiece 30 located on the top of the housing 10. A base 11, which mates with the mouthpiece 30, is located inside the housing 10. The mouthpiece 30 is mounted on the base 11, and the top surface of the base 11 has smoke outlet holes 111 corresponding to the atomizing units. The smoke generated by the atomizing units during operation is discharged through the smoke outlet holes 111. A knob 40 for switching flavors is located on the top of the housing 10. The knob 40 has multiple adjustment levels; rotating the knob 40 adjusts the control of the atomizing units by the control component, thereby switching between different flavors. It should be noted that the control component contains a control circuit and control program for controlling multiple atomizing units. The control circuit can control multiple atomizing units, including controlling the output voltage to control the operation of selected atomizing units and controlling the output power to control the smoke concentration of selected atomizing units.
[0027] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In this embodiment, two atomizing units are provided, namely a first atomizing unit 50 and a second atomizing unit 60. A first receiving cavity 12 is provided inside the outer casing 10 along the length direction, and the first atomizing unit 50 and the second atomizing unit 60 are sequentially received in the first receiving cavity 12. A second receiving cavity 13 is provided on one side of the outer casing 10 opposite to the first receiving cavity 12, and the battery 20 is correspondingly received in the second receiving cavity 13.
[0028] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first atomizing unit 50 includes a first atomizing core 51, a first oil tank 52, and a first PCBA board 53. The first atomizing core 51 is located inside the first oil tank 52, which stores e-liquid. The first atomizing core 51 atomizes the e-liquid in the first oil tank 52 to produce smoke that is then expelled through the smoke outlet 111. The first PCBA board 53 is located at the end of the outer shell 10 away from the mouthpiece 30. The first PCBA board 53 is electrically connected to a control circuit, which controls the first PCBA board 53 to control the operation of the first atomizing core 51.
[0029] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second atomizing unit 60 includes a second atomizing core 61, a second e-liquid tank 62, and a second PCBA board 63. The second atomizing core 61 is located inside the second e-liquid tank 62, which stores e-liquid. The second atomizing core 61 atomizes the e-liquid in the second e-liquid tank 62, and the generated vapor is discharged through the smoke outlet 111. The second PCBA board 63 is located at one end of the outer shell 10 near the base 11. The second PCBA board 63 is electrically connected to the control circuit, which controls the second PCBA board 63 to control the operation of the second atomizing core 61. It should be noted that the first atomizing unit 50 and the second atomizing unit 60 are stacked within the first accommodating cavity 12, with the first atomizing unit 50 located below the second atomizing unit 60. A connecting hole 70 is provided between the first atomizing unit 50 and the second atomizing unit 60. The first atomizing core 51 and the second atomizing core 61 are positioned relative to the connecting hole 70, so that the smoke generated by the first atomizing unit 50 and the second atomizing unit 60 can flow through the connecting hole 70 to the smoke outlet 111, i.e., the smoke channels of the first atomizing unit 50 and the second atomizing unit 60 are connected. The e-liquids in the first oil tank 52 and the second oil tank 62 have different flavors, which can be controlled by a control circuit to switch the flavors between the first atomizing unit 50 and the second atomizing unit 62.
[0030] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3The knob 40 has a rotating shaft 41 inside for rotating the knob 40. The rotating shaft 41 is fixed to the top of the outer casing 10, and the knob 40 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 41. The knob 40 can rotate 360 degrees relative to the rotating shaft 41. The knob 40 has an adjustment component for switching flavors. The adjustment component includes an adjustment post 42 on the second PCBA board 63 and an adjustment slot 43 on the knob 40. The knob 40 is hollow. The second PCBA board 63 is located inside the knob 40 and sleeved on the rotating shaft 41. The adjustment post 42 is connected to the rotating shaft 41 and is connected to the control circuit. The adjustment post 42 can sense the rotation signal of the knob 40 relative to the rotating shaft 41 to feed back a signal to the control circuit, which then drives the selected atomizing coil to work and produce vapor.
[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 An adjustment slot 43 is located on the top of the knob 40. A top cover 80 is provided on the outer casing 10 relative to the upper end of the knob 40, covering the top of the knob 40. A wheel 81 is positioned on the top cover 80 relative to the adjustment slot 43. The adjustment slot 43 is spherical. Multiple alignment holes 811 are provided on the wheel 81 along its circumferential direction. The size of the alignment holes 811 matches the size of the adjustment slot 43, and the upper part of the adjustment slot 43 extends into the alignment holes 811 of the wheel 81. Rotating the knob 40 causes the adjustment slot 43 to rotate, switching to different alignment holes 811. Rotating the knob 40 counterclockwise adjusts the flavor. During rotation, the adjustment slot 43 rotates simultaneously, controlling the output voltage of the first PCBA board 53 via the adjustment post 42, thereby enabling the control circuit to control the operation of different atomizing units. Specifically, rotating the knob 40 one notch counterclockwise switches the adjustment slot 43 to the first atomizing unit 50. Rotating it two notches activates both the first and second atomizing units 60 simultaneously. Rotating it three notches switches the adjustment slot 43 to the second atomizing unit 60. Rotating it one notch counterclockwise again switches the adjustment slot 43 back to the first atomizing unit 50. Rotating the knob 40 allows users to switch between different atomizing units, providing a refreshing smoking experience, a variety of flavor combinations, and eliminating the need to carry multiple flavor e-cigarettes. It should be noted that each alignment hole 811 corresponds to a different flavor when the adjustment slot 43 is adjusted. Rotating the knob 40 relative to the shaft 41 sends a corresponding signal from the adjustment post 42 to the control circuit, thus controlling the operation of the atomizing units.
[0032] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3The knob 40 has four concentration levels, which can be adjusted by rotating the knob 40 clockwise. The second PCBA board 63 has two locking blocks 90. The side of the locking block 90 facing the inner wall of the knob 40 has a contact part 91 that abuts against the inner wall of the knob 40. The inner wall of the knob 40 has multiple contact plates 44 along the circumferential direction. By rotating the knob 40 clockwise, the contact part 91 of the locking block 90 abuts against the contact plate 44 of the knob 40. The locking blocks 90 can control the output power of the second PCBA board 63, so that the control circuit controls the operation of different atomizing coils. The four concentration levels correspond to four operating power levels, with 1 being the lowest power and 4 being the highest power. By rotating the knob 40 clockwise, the concentration can be adjusted from 1 to 4. The four concentration levels cycle repeatedly to control the burst of the first atomizing coil 51 or the second atomizing coil 61, so that the vapor concentration and flavor are different, so as to bring the user different levels of pleasure.
[0033] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Each of the first atomizing core 51 and the second atomizing core 61 has two mesh panels inside. Both mesh panels of the first atomizing core 51 and the second atomizing core 61 are electrically connected to the battery 20. When one mesh panel is working, it is called single-coil operation; when both mesh panels are working, it is called dual-coil operation. A toggle switch 14 is located at the bottom of the outer casing 10. The toggle switch 14 has three positions: pause, single-coil, and dual-coil. When the toggle switch 14 is pushed to the pause position, the electronic cigarette is turned off. When the toggle switch 14 is switched to the single-coil position, single-coil operation is activated, meaning that the control circuit controls one mesh panel of the first atomizing unit 50 or the second atomizing unit to work, which is single-coil operation. When the toggle switch 14 is switched to the dual-coil position, dual-coil operation is activated, meaning that the control circuit controls both mesh panels in the first atomizing unit 50 or the second atomizing unit 60 to work, which is dual-coil operation. It should be noted that the difference between single-electrode and dual-electrode operation lies in the intensity of the smoke produced, in order to adapt to the smoking experience of different users and provide users with two different smoking sensations of varying intensity.
[0034] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The bottom of the outer casing 10 is provided with an air inlet 15, which communicates with the first atomizing core 51. An adjustment switch 16 for adjusting the airflow is covered at the air inlet 15. The adjustment switch 16 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the outer casing 10 and has several openings 161 communicating with the air inlet 15. The combined size of the multiple openings 161 matches the size of the air inlet 15. The adjustment switch 16 is closed off from the openings 161. Rotating the adjustment switch 16 controls the number of openings communicating with the air inlet 15, thereby adjusting the airflow and regulating the amount of gas entering the first atomizing unit 50.
[0035] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The outer casing 10 has a display screen 100 on its outer side. The display screen 100 shows the oil level and battery level of the first atomizing unit 50 and the second atomizing unit 60, the current flavor concentration value, and the currently operating atomizing unit, so that the user can clearly know the working status of the electronic cigarette. It should be noted that the current flavor concentration value is represented by numbers from 1 to 4.
[0036] This utility model features a knob 40 and an adjustment component. By rotating the knob 40 counterclockwise, the flavor of the e-liquid can be switched, providing users with different flavor experiences. When the knob 40 is rotated clockwise, the vapor concentration can be switched to meet the needs of different users and provide them with a good user experience.
[0037] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
