Description

An igniter Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ignition device technology, and more specifically, to an igniter. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, igniters usually only have the function of ignition. As competition in the lighter or igniter industry becomes more intense, simply having the function of ignition can no longer meet the diversified needs of the market.

[0003] Therefore, major manufacturers often innovate the design of existing igniter structures to provide multiple functions, such as better protection, better ease of use, and a more eye-catching effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art. Its structure is reasonably designed, which can achieve a good protective function, as well as good operation convenience and lighting and eye-catching effect.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An igniter includes a housing, an ignition head connected to or disposed on the housing, an ignition operating component disposed on the housing, an ignition source that can be conducted to the ignition head, and an ignition assembly that can ignite the ignition source at the ignition head. Two protective covers are rotatably disposed on the housing at the ignition head, which can open and close relative to each other to expose or cover the ignition head. The protective covers are light-transmitting, and a light-emitting element is disposed inside the protective covers. A switch for controlling the light-emitting element to light up or extinguish, a circuit board electrically connected to the switch, and a battery electrically connected to the circuit board are disposed inside the housing. The ignition operating component is linked to a sliding component located inside the housing and sliding relative to the housing. Moving the ignition operating component causes the sliding component to slide relative to the housing. At this time, the sliding component causes the two protective covers to open, the ignition source is conducted to the ignition head and ignited by the ignition assembly, and the switch is triggered to control the light-emitting element to light up.

[0007] Preferably, the upper end of the sliding member is provided with an abutment block, the abutment block is provided with abutment surfaces on both sides of the two protective covers, and a mating block is provided inside the protective cover. The mating block is provided with a mating surface that mates with the abutment surface, so that when the sliding member moves down relative to the housing, the abutment surface abuts with the mating surface and causes the protective cover to rotate and open.

[0008] Preferably, the contact surface and the mating surface are configured as mating arc-shaped surfaces or inclined surfaces.

[0009] Preferably, the sliding member is arranged to move up and down relative to the housing, and a guide rail groove structure is provided between the sliding member and the housing.

[0010] Preferably, the two protective covers are hinged to the housing, and each of the two protective covers has a mounting block at its bottom. The housing is equipped with a torsion spring that can cause the two protective covers to rotate open and then reset. The two ends of the torsion spring abut against the two mounting blocks respectively.

[0011] Preferably, a pressing block is provided at the lower end of the sliding member, and a movable trigger block is provided below the pressing block. When the pressing block moves down, it drives the trigger block to move. The movement of the trigger block directly or indirectly causes the ignition source to be conducted to the ignition head and ignited by the ignition component, and the switch is triggered to control the light-emitting element to light up.

[0012] Preferably, the ignition source is configured as a combustible gas, and a gas box for storing the ignition source is provided inside the housing. A valve body for controlling the flow of combustible gas is provided on the gas box. The ignition component is configured as a piezoelectric ceramic, and a pressure rod is provided on the piezoelectric ceramic. A rocker plate for controlling the opening of the valve body is provided on the gas box. A trigger block is hinged to the gas box. The trigger block includes a first abutting rod that abuts against the pressure block and a second abutting rod that abuts against the pressure rod. The pressure rod moves down, causing the rocker plate to move. The rocker plate movement allows combustible gas to flow and triggers the switch to close.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The utility model has a reasonable structural design. By incorporating two protective covers that can be opened or closed relative to each other, the ignition head can be exposed and ignited when the covers are open. When closed, the ignition head is well protected, preventing moisture or dust from entering the igniter and causing safety hazards or reduced service life. Furthermore, the inclusion of a light-emitting element within the protective covers, along with the light-transmitting design of the covers, provides illumination and good visibility when lit. Moreover, the ignition control allows for one-button ignition of both the ignition head and the light-emitting element, making operation more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] As shown in Figures 1-9, an igniter includes a housing 1, an ignition head 2 connected to or mounted on the housing 1, an ignition control component 3 mounted on the housing 1, an ignition source 4 that can be conducted to the ignition head 2, and an ignition assembly 5 that can ignite the ignition source 4 at the ignition head 2. Two protective covers 6 are rotatably mounted on the housing 1 at the ignition head 2 and can be opened and closed relative to each other to expose or cover the ignition head 2. The protective covers 6 are light-transmitting, and a light-emitting element 61 is disposed inside the protective cover 6. A switch 11 for controlling the light-emitting element 61 to light up or extinguish, a circuit board 12 electrically connected to the switch 11, and a battery 13 electrically connected to the circuit board 12 are disposed inside the housing 1. The ignition control component 3 is linked to a position... A sliding member 7, which slides within and relative to the housing 1, is activated by the ignition actuator 3, causing the sliding member 7 to slide relative to the housing 1. At this time, the sliding member 7 causes the two protective covers 6 to open, the ignition source 4 is conducted to the ignition head 2 and ignited by the ignition assembly 5, and the switch 11 is triggered to control the illumination of the light-emitting element 61. An abutting block 71 is provided at the upper end of the sliding member 7, and abutting surfaces 72 are provided on both sides of the abutting block 71 relative to the two protective covers 6. A mating block 62 is provided inside the protective cover 6, and a mating surface 63 is provided on the mating block 62 to engage with the abutting surface 72. When the sliding member 7 moves downward relative to the housing 1, the abutting surface 72 abuts against the mating surface 63, causing the protective cover 6 to rotate and open. The abutting surface 72 and the mating surface... 63 is configured as a matching arc-shaped surface or inclined surface; the sliding member 7 is arranged to move up and down relative to the housing 1, and a guide rail groove structure is provided between the sliding member 7 and the housing 1; the two protective covers 6 are hinged to the housing 1 respectively, and the bottom end of each of the two protective covers 6 is provided with a mounting block 64. A torsion spring 15 is installed on the housing 1 to cause the two protective covers 6 to rotate open and then reset. The two ends of the torsion spring 15 abut against the two mounting blocks 64 respectively; the lower end of the sliding member 7 is provided with a pressing block 73, and a movable trigger block 8 is provided below the pressing block 73. When the pressing block 73 moves down, it drives the trigger block 8 to move. The trigger block 8 moves and directly or indirectly causes the ignition source 4 to be conducted to the ignition head 2 and ignited. Component 5 is ignited and switch 11 is triggered to control the light-emitting element 61 to light up; ignition source 4 is configured as combustible gas, and a gas box 41 for storing ignition source 4 is provided inside housing 1. A valve body 42 for controlling the flow of combustible gas is provided on gas box 41. Ignition component 5 is configured as piezoelectric ceramic 51. A pressure rod 52 is provided on piezoelectric ceramic 51. A rocker plate 43 for controlling the opening of valve body 42 is provided on gas box 41. Trigger block 8 is hinged to gas box 41. Trigger block 8 includes a first abutting rod 81 that abuts against pressure block 73 and a second abutting rod 82 that abuts against pressure rod 52. Pressure rod 52 moves down to drive rocker plate 43 to move. The movement of rocker plate 43 causes combustible gas to flow and triggers switch 11 to close.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the main improvement of this utility model compared to existing conventional igniters lies in the provision of two protective covers 6 that can be opened or closed relative to each other. When the two protective covers 6 are open relative to each other, the ignition head 2 can be exposed for ignition. When the two protective covers 6 are closed relative to each other, they can effectively protect the ignition head 2, preventing moisture or dust from entering the igniter and causing safety hazards and reduced service life. Furthermore, a light-emitting element 61 is provided inside the protective cover 6, and the protective cover 6 is configured to be light-transmitting. When the light-emitting element 61 is lit, it provides a certain level of illumination and a good visibility effect. Moreover, by operating the ignition control element 3, the ignition head 2 can be ignited and the light-emitting element 61 can be lit with a single button, making operation more convenient.

[0027] Specifically, the igniter of this utility model is illustrated using the piezoelectric ceramic 51 igniter as an example, as detailed below. Of course, the core structural concept of this utility model can also be applied to the structures of other mainstream igniters on the market, such as arc igniters or flint and steel igniters, to achieve the technical effects brought about by the main improvements of this utility model.

[0028] In this invention, the relative opening of the two protective covers 6 is achieved by lowering the ignition operating member 3. Specifically, the ignition operating member 3 moves downward, causing the sliding member 7 to slide down relative to the housing 1. The abutment surface 72 engages with the mating surface 63, and the abutment block 71 presses the mating block 62 outward, thus opening the protective covers 6 relative to each other. The protective covers 6 are hinged to the housing 1 via a hinge shaft, and the rotation and reset of the two protective covers 6 are achieved by a torsion spring 15 mounted on the torsion spring shaft 14. The abutment surface 72 and the mating surface 63 can be either arc-shaped or inclined; in this specific embodiment, an arc-shaped engagement is used.

[0029] Furthermore, through the design of the structure of the sliding member 7 and the trigger block 8, when the sliding member 7 moves down, the pressing block 73 can cause the trigger block 8, which is hinged on the gas box 41, to move. The trigger block 8 drives the pressure rod 52 to move down, causing the piezoelectric ceramic 51 to generate an electric arc. The electric arc will be conducted to the ignition head 2. At the same time, the rocker plate 43 moves, causing the valve body 42 to open, allowing the combustible gas to flow and be conducted to the ignition head 2, thus achieving ignition. In addition, the rocker plate 43 causes the switch 11 to close, thus illuminating the light-emitting element 61.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
