Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sealing structures, and in particular to a sealing structure for an electronic cigarette air switch. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic cigarettes use batteries to power atomizers, which convert e-liquid containing nicotine, flavorings, and solvents (such as propylene glycol and glycerin) into an inhalable aerosol. The core component is the atomizer, which mainly uses ceramic heating or cotton wick heating. Some high-end products introduce ultrasonic atomization to improve atomization efficiency.

[0003] The air switch of existing e-cigarette products does not protect against condensation. During use, users can easily allow condensation to enter the microphone of the air switch, causing damage to the microphone. When condensation enters the air switch, the damaged microphone is prone to self-starting. The condensation can also cause the air switch to fail to release negative pressure or reduce the capacitance of the air switch diaphragm, which may mistakenly identify the user as using the e-cigarette and cause it to self-start.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a sealing structure for an electronic cigarette air switch to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a sealing structure for an electronic cigarette air switch. The protection module can be fitted over the air switch during use, preventing the membrane side of the air switch from contacting condensate and allowing the air switch to function normally.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an air switch sealing structure for an electronic cigarette, including a support module, a PCB assembly bolted to the upper end of one side of the support module, a protective module provided on the upper end of the PCB assembly, a plastic sidewall bolted to the upper front end of one side of the support module, the support module including a support frame, a partition fixedly provided on the upper part of the inner wall of one side of the support frame, and an air inlet hole provided on the upper surface of the partition.

[0007] The PCB assembly includes a main board with a first snap-fit ​​groove on the upper surface of the main board. The protection module includes a cavity with an air duct column fixedly disposed on one side of the cavity and a snap-fit ​​block fixedly disposed on the front surface of the cavity. The plastic sidewall includes a fixing plate with a second snap-fit ​​groove on the rear surface of the fixing plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a battery is snapped into the lower end of one side of the support module, and battery foam is squeezed and fixed to the side of the battery near the support module.

[0009] Furthermore, the material used in the protection module is silicone.

[0010] Furthermore, a top column is fixedly installed on the upper end of the inner wall of one side of the support frame, and two threaded columns are fixedly installed on the upper part of the inner wall of one side of the support frame.

[0011] Furthermore, a plurality of snap-fit ​​posts are fixedly provided on one side of the main body plate, and a plurality of first through holes are opened on one side of the main body plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a second through hole is provided at the lower end of one side of the fixing plate.

[0013] Furthermore, a connecting block is fixedly installed on the upper end of one side of the fixing plate.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model proposes a sealed structure for an electronic cigarette air switch. When a user inhales the electronic cigarette, the air switch can sense changes in airflow. There is an airflow channel inside the cigarette holder. When airflow passes through this channel, the air switch is triggered under the negative pressure of inhalation. This triggering mechanism allows the electronic cigarette to automatically start working according to the user's inhalation action. The air switch is generally directly connected to the PCB assembly during use. The PCB assembly heats up during operation. When external cold air encounters the heated PCB assembly, condensate is produced. The condensate adhering to the film side of the air switch will affect the sensitivity of the air switch. The protection module can be used to cover the air switch during use, so that the film side of the air switch will not come into contact with the condensate.

[0016] 2. The present invention proposes a sealing structure for an electronic cigarette air switch. In use, the main structure of the protection module includes a cavity, on one side of which an air duct column is installed. When the protection module is fitted onto the air switch, the diaphragm side of the air switch should face the side with the fixed air duct column. The air duct column allows external gas to enter the interior of the protection module, enabling the air switch to sense the negative pressure of suction. At the same time, the air duct column is far from the PCB assembly, preventing condensate from entering the interior of the air switch. The ribs at the lower end of the cavity surface are press-fitted with the first snap-fit ​​groove at the upper end of the main board, ensuring the stability of the protection module on the PCB assembly.

The battery foam 5 can act as a buffer between the battery 6 and the support module 1. At the same time, in the narrow space inside the device, the elastic compression of the foam can fix the battery 6, preventing the battery 6 from shaking and shifting. A PCB assembly 2 is bolted to one side of the support module 1. A protection module 3 is interference-fitted to the upper end of the PCB assembly 2. During use, the protection module 3 can cover the air switch, so that the membrane side of the air switch will not come into contact with condensation, allowing the air switch to work normally. One side of the PCB assembly 2 is connected to the plastic sidewall 4, and the rear end of the plastic sidewall 4 is connected to the protection module 3, so that the protection module 3 can be more firmly set on the PCB assembly 2.

[0029] Specifically, the main structure of PCB assembly 2 includes a main board 201, which is connected to the air switch during use to enable the air switch to operate normally. The upper end of the main board 201 has a first snap-fit ​​slot 202, which can be interference-fitted with the protection module 3 to fix the protection module 3 to the upper end of PCB assembly 2. A number of snap-fit ​​posts 203 and a number of first through holes 204 are fixed on one side of the main board 201.

[0031] Specifically, the main structure of the protection module 3 includes a cavity 301, on one side of which an air duct column 302 is installed. When the protection module 3 is used to install the air switch, the side of the air switch with the membrane should face the side with the air duct column 302. The air duct column 302 allows external gas to enter the interior of the protection module 3, allowing the air switch to sense the negative pressure of suction. A snap-fit ​​block 303 is fixed at the front end of the cavity 301, which allows the protection module 3 to connect with the plastic sidewall 4.

The connecting block 403 fixed by the fixing plate 401 facilitates the connection between the plastic sidewall 4 and the electronic cigarette shell.

[0034] Working principle: A battery foam 5 is set between the battery 6 and the support module 1. The battery foam 5 can act as a buffer between the battery 6 and the support module 1. At the same time, in the narrow space inside the device, the elastic compression of the foam fixes the battery 6, which can prevent the battery 6 from shaking and shifting.

[0035] The upper end of PCB assembly 2 is interference-fitted with a protection module 3. When in use, the protection module 3 can cover the air switch, so that the membrane side of the air switch will not come into contact with condensate, allowing the air switch to work normally. The main structure of the protection module 3 is a cavity 301, and an air duct column 302 is installed on one side of the cavity 301. When the protection module 3 covers the air switch, the membrane side of the air switch needs to face the side with the air duct column 302. The air duct column 302 can allow external gas to enter the interior of the protection module 3, allowing the air switch to sense the negative pressure of suction.
