Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smoking device technology, specifically to a smoking device that combines energy recovery and adjustable draw resistance. Background Technology

[0002] After undergoing technological improvements and market selection, traditional cigarettes have gradually developed into several types, including short cigarettes, medium cigarettes, thick cigarettes, thin cigarettes, and cigars of various sizes, each with a huge consumer base.

[0003] With the development of tobacco technology, new types of cigarettes have gradually come into people's view. These new cigarettes improve the tobacco filling process and use a heating-non-combustion method to produce smoke, thereby reducing the release of harmful components in tobacco and thus reducing harm to the human body. From a technical point of view, these new cigarettes have the value of being gradually popularized and promoted.

[0004] However, since the new cigarettes require matching smoking accessories, the specifications of the new cigarettes are designed to be uniform so that the matching smoking accessories are universal and reduce the cost of use.

[0005] However, since the classification of traditional cigarettes according to their target audience has become a fait accompli, people may have some resistance to using new types of cigarettes. Among these factors, the primary consideration for the smoking experience is the draw resistance, which is the most direct sensation. Therefore, how to make the draw resistance of smoking devices adjustable to meet the needs of different groups is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved.

[0006] In addition, smoking devices rely on batteries for power, so charging is a common problem. How to maximize battery life is another technical issue that urgently needs to be addressed.

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, people have been seeking an ideal technological solution. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a smoking device that combines energy recovery to improve battery life and adjustable draw resistance to enhance the smoking experience.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a smoking device that combines energy recovery and adjustable suction resistance, including a smoking device, a smoke channel, a generator fan blade, a generator, a motor mounting bracket, a control module, and a storage battery;

[0010] The flue gas passage is integrated into the flue, the generator fan blades are installed inside the flue gas passage, the generator is installed inside the flue gas passage via a motor mounting bracket, and the generator fan blades drive the rotor of the generator to rotate to generate electricity;

[0011] The control module is installed in the smoking device and is used to adjust the torque and power output of the generator. The outer shell of the smoking device is equipped with a command input module based on the control module.

[0012] The battery is installed in the smoking device, and the output side of the generator is connected to the battery through a power generation drive circuit module to charge the battery.

[0013] Based on the above, the instruction input module is a button.

[0014] Based on the above, the instruction input module is a capacitive sliding sensor, and the capacitive sliding sensor is connected to the control module.

[0015] Based on the above, the cross-section of the flue gas passage is circular, and the generator fan blades cover the entire flue gas passage.

[0016] Based on the above, the power generation fan blade is a single-layer fan blade, a double-layer fan blade, or a multi-layer fan blade.

[0017] Based on the above, the generator is externally encapsulated by a plastic encapsulation structure.

[0018] Based on the above, the generator fan blades and the generator are connected in a detachable manner.

[0019] Based on the above, the motor mounting bracket is a radial support installed in the flue gas passage.

[0020] This invention has substantial features and advancements compared to existing technologies. Specifically, it installs a generator blade and a generator in the flue gas channel. The flue gas airflow generated during the smoking process drives the generator blade to rotate, which in turn drives the generator to generate electricity, replenishing the battery and achieving a certain degree of kinetic energy recovery, thereby improving the battery's range. At the same time, since the generator has adjustable torque, the torque of the motor can be adjusted using a control module, thereby changing the motor torque. As the motor torque increases, the rotational resistance of the generator blade also increases. This principle allows for stepless adjustment of the suction resistance.

[0021] Furthermore, to facilitate stepless adjustment of the suction resistance, the external command input module is designed as a capacitive sliding sensor. By sliding up or down, the control module can acquire more command input data. The control module adjusts the motor torque by changing the current, thereby changing the suction resistance when the consumer smokes. Attached Figure Description

[0023] In the figure: 1. Smoking device; 2. Flue gas passage; 3. Power generation fan blade; 4. Generator; 5. Motor fixing bracket; 6. Control module; 7. Battery; 8. Instruction input module. Detailed implementation manners

[0024] Next, through specific implementation manners, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be further described in detail.

[0025] As Figure 1 shown, a smoking device that combines electric energy recovery and adjustable draw resistance experience includes a smoking device 1, a flue gas passage 2, a power generation fan blade 3, a generator 4, a motor fixing bracket 5, a control module 6, and a battery 7.

[0026] The flue gas passage 2 is integrated in the smoking device 1, the power generation fan blade 3 is installed inside the flue gas passage 2, the generator 4 is installed inside the flue gas passage 2 through the motor fixing bracket 5, and the motor fixing bracket 5 is a radial bracket arranged in the flue gas passage 2 to avoid interfering with the airflow in the flue gas passage 2 as much as possible. The power generation fan blade 3 drives the rotor of the generator 4 to rotate to achieve power generation.

[0027] In this embodiment, the power generation fan blade 3 is a single-layer fan blade, the cross-section of the flue gas passage 2 is circular, and the power generation fan blade 3 is arranged all over the flue gas passage 2 to improve the response ability to airflow.

[0028] In other embodiments, in order to enhance the induction ability, double-layer fan blades or multi-layer fan blades can also be used.

[0029] The control module 6 is arranged in the smoking device 1 and is used to adjust the torque and power generation power of the generator 4. An instruction input module 8 based on the control module is arranged on the outer shell of the smoking device 1. In this embodiment, the instruction input module 8 is set as a capacitive sliding sensor, and the capacitive sliding sensor is connected to the control module 6.

[0030] The control module 6 is the control part supporting the generator 4, and it is a module configured for the generator 4. The core of it is a control chip, which can adjust the torque of the DC motor by changing the magnitude of the excitation current of the generator 4. Using this principle, when consumers smoke, they can slide the capacitive sliding sensor. The capacitive sliding sensor can make the output control instructions more refined. Compared with the button in the point-pressing mode, the efficiency of outputting instructions is higher, and it can also be regarded as a part of the stepless adjustment. After receiving the instruction, the control module can adjust the magnitude of the excitation current according to the instruction information, and then adjust the motor torque. The change of the motor torque will cause the change of the airflow resistance of the rotation of the power generation fan blade 3, and then change the draw resistance when smoking.

[0031] The storage battery 7 is installed in the smoking device 1, and the output side of the generator 4 is connected to the storage battery 7 through a power generation drive circuit module to charge the storage battery 7.

[0032] This solution integrates energy recycling and the ability to adjust the smoking resistance, which on the one hand makes the smoking device more durable, and on the other hand makes the device flexible and adjustable in terms of inhalation resistance, so as to meet the different requirements of more consumers for the inhalation resistance, making the new tobacco easier to be accepted in the process of promotion and application.

[0033] In other embodiments, the instruction input module is a button, and the built-in program can be designed with multiple selectable modes for button operation.

[0034] To prevent the motor from being affected by flue gas pollution, the generator is externally encapsulated with a plastic seal to prevent oil fume deposits from affecting power generation efficiency.

[0035] In other embodiments, the generator blades are detachably connected to the generator so that the generator blades can be cleaned periodically, mainly to remove grease.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
