Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic cigarette technology, and in particular to an air switch airway structure for electronic cigarettes.
[0002] Background Technology
[0003] E-cigarettes are electronic products that mimic traditional cigarettes, having the same appearance, smoke, taste, and feel. They produce vapor by heating e-liquid for users to inhale. Their core components typically include propylene glycol, glycerin, flavorings, and nicotine. Although e-cigarettes do not contain the tar found in traditional cigarettes, the heating process may still produce carcinogens such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, posing a threat to respiratory and cardiovascular health.
[0004] The existing air switch airway structure of electronic cigarettes is limited in terms of air intake adjustment, making it difficult to accurately adapt to the draw resistance needs of different users. In the existing air switch airway structure of electronic cigarettes, condensate can easily enter the air switch airway, or even directly contact the air switch, causing the air switch to be damaged and automatically restarted, affecting the normal use of electronic cigarettes.
[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an air switch duct structure for electronic cigarettes to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an air switch airway structure for electronic cigarettes. Through an adjustment mechanism, the airflow can be controlled to meet the personalized needs of different users regarding inhalation resistance and vapor volume. The protective mechanism can effectively resist damage to the core components of the electronic cigarette caused by abnormal airflow and external pressure changes, reduce the risk of electronic cigarette malfunctions due to external factors, and extend the service life of the electronic cigarette.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0008] An air switch airway structure for an electronic cigarette includes an electronic cigarette body. An adjustment mechanism is provided on one side inside the electronic cigarette body. The adjustment mechanism includes a knob. A gear is fixedly provided on one side of the knob. A rack is slidably provided on one side inside the electronic cigarette body. An adjustment block is fixedly provided at the front end of the rack. A fixing hole is provided on one side of the adjustment block.
[0009] The electronic cigarette body has a protective mechanism inside, which includes a first air tube, a pneumatic switch on one side of the first air tube, a first slider slidably disposed inside the first air tube, a plurality of first through holes on the outside of the first slider, a second air tube fixedly disposed at the rear end of the first air tube, a second slider slidably disposed inside the second air tube, and a plurality of second through holes on the outside of the second slider.
[0010] Furthermore, one side of the gear is rotatably disposed inside the electronic cigarette body, and the gear meshes with the rack.
[0011] Furthermore, the adjustment block is externally slidably disposed on one side inside the electronic cigarette body, and the knob is externally rotatably disposed on one side of the electronic cigarette body.
[0012] Furthermore, the adjustment block is slidably disposed on one side of the pneumatic switch, and the pneumatic switch is externally fixedly disposed on one side inside the electronic cigarette body.
[0013] Furthermore, the pneumatic switch is externally fixedly installed on one side inside the electronic cigarette body, and the second air tube is externally fixedly installed at the rear end inside the electronic cigarette body.
[0014] Furthermore, an atomizing chamber is fixedly installed at the front end of the electronic cigarette body, a mouthpiece cap is fixedly installed at the front end of the atomizing chamber, and a display screen is fixedly installed at the top of the electronic cigarette body.
[0015] Furthermore, a silicone airway is fixedly installed at the rear end of the atomizing chamber, and a battery is fixedly installed at the rear end inside the electronic cigarette body.
[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. The present invention proposes an air switch airway structure for an electronic cigarette. By rotating the knob, the gear is driven to rotate. Since the gear is meshed with the rack, the rotation of the gear will push the rack to slide inside the electronic cigarette body. The adjustment block will move synchronously with the rack, thereby changing the position of the fixing hole. This changes the position between the fixing hole and the input end of the first air tube, achieving precise adjustment of the air intake volume, thus meeting the personalized needs of different users for the draw resistance.
[0018] 2. This utility model proposes an airflow structure for an electronic cigarette air switch. When the user inhales, the external airflow pushes the pneumatic switch to open, causing the first slider to slide within the first air tube. This allows airflow to flow out from the first through hole and into the atomizing chamber, ultimately exiting from the mouthpiece cap for the user to inhale. When the air pressure inside the electronic cigarette increases, the airflow flows back and pushes the first slider back to its original position. When the first slider returns to its original position, the first air tube is closed, preventing airflow from continuing to enter the atomizing chamber. Simultaneously, the airflow pushes the second slider inside the second air tube, causing it to slide within the second air tube. This allows airflow to exit through the second through hole, thus relieving pressure on the pneumatic switch and ensuring pressure balance throughout the airflow system. This not only improves airflow stability but also ensures pressure balance within the airflow system, preventing leakage or damage caused by excessive air pressure. Attached Figure Description

[0029] 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.
[0030] Reference Figures 1-8 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0031] An air switch airway structure for an electronic cigarette includes an electronic cigarette body 1. An adjustment mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the inside of the electronic cigarette body 1. The adjustment mechanism 5 includes a knob 502. A gear 505 is fixedly provided on one side of the knob 502. A rack 504 is slidably provided on one side of the inside of the electronic cigarette body 1. An adjustment block 503 is fixedly provided at the front end of the rack 504. A fixing hole 501 is opened on one side of the adjustment block 503. A gear 505 is rotatably provided on one side of the inside of the electronic cigarette body 1. The gear 505 is meshed with the rack 504. The adjustment block 503 is slidably provided on the outside of the inside of the electronic cigarette body 1. The knob 502 is rotatably provided on the outside of the electronic cigarette body 1.
[0032] The electronic cigarette body 1 is equipped with a protective mechanism 9. The protective mechanism 9 includes a first air tube 902, a pneumatic switch 901 on one side of the first air tube 902, a first slider 904 slidably disposed inside the first air tube 902, a plurality of first through holes 905 on the outside of the first slider 904, a second air tube 903 fixedly disposed at the rear end of the first air tube 902, a second slider 907 slidably disposed inside the second air tube 903, a plurality of second through holes 906 on the outside of the second slider 907, an adjusting block 503 slidably disposed on one side of the pneumatic switch 901, the pneumatic switch 901 fixedly disposed on one side inside the electronic cigarette body 1, and the second air tube 903 fixedly disposed on the rear end inside the electronic cigarette body 1.
[0033] The electronic cigarette body 1 has an atomizing chamber 4 fixedly installed at the front end, a mouthpiece cap 3 fixedly installed at the front end of the atomizing chamber 4, a display screen 2 fixedly installed at the top of the electronic cigarette body 1, a silicone airway 7 fixedly installed at the rear end of the atomizing chamber 4, and a battery 6 fixedly installed at the rear end of the electronic cigarette body 1.
[0034] Specifically, when the rotary knob 502 is used, the knob 502 drives the gear 505, which is tightly fixed to it, to rotate synchronously. Since the gear 505 meshes with the rack 504, the rotational motion of the gear 505 is converted into the rack 504 sliding linearly inside the electronic cigarette body 1. The adjustment block 503 fixed at the front end of the rack 504 will move together with the rack 504. During this process, the position of the fixing hole 501 on the adjustment block 503 changes and gradually shifts away from the input end of the first air tube 902, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the air intake volume, thereby meeting the personalized needs of different users for inhalation resistance and vapor volume, and improving the user's experience when using electronic cigarettes.
[0035] When using the electronic cigarette normally, the user inhales, generating airflow that allows outside air to flow into the first air tube 902 through the pre-positioned fixing hole 501. This airflow activates the pneumatic switch 901, causing it to open. The airflow then pushes the first slider 904 inside the first air tube 902, causing it to slide within the tube. When the slider 904 reaches the desired position, airflow exits through multiple first through holes 905 on its exterior. The airflow then enters the atomizing chamber 4, is atomized, and finally flows out from the mouthpiece cap 3 for the user to inhale. When the user stops inhaling, if the internal gas pressure of the electronic cigarette body 1 is too high, gas will flow back, pushing the first slider... When the first slider 904 returns to its initial position, the first air tube 902 is immediately closed. At the same time, some airflow will push the second slider 907 inside the second air tube 903, causing it to slide inside the second air tube 903. When the second slider 907 slides to a preset position, the airflow will be discharged from the second through hole 906 outside, thereby relieving the pressure on the pneumatic switch 901. When the user stops inhaling and the internal air pressure of the electronic cigarette body 1 rises abnormally, the first slider 904 can automatically reset and close the first air tube 902, effectively preventing excessive leakage of internal gas and preventing the reverse flow of external foreign objects or harmful gases. This not only protects the delicate components inside the electronic cigarette but also ensures safe use.
[0036] Display screen 2 can display relevant parameters of the electronic cigarette, such as battery power information 6, so that users can understand the working status of the electronic cigarette and charge it in time. The airway silicone 7 is a sheet of silicone that forms a seal with the plastic bracket around its perimeter, which can effectively prevent condensate from entering the air switch.
[0037] Working principle: When the user rotates the knob 502, the knob 502 drives the gear 505 fixedly connected to it to rotate. Since the gear 505 is meshed with the rack 504, the rotation of the gear 505 will push the rack 504 to slide linearly on one side inside the electronic cigarette body 1. The adjustment block 503 fixed at the front end of the rack 504 will move together with the rack 504, thereby adjusting the position of the fixing hole 501, so that the fixing hole 501 is misaligned with the input end of the first air tube 902, thereby adjusting the amount of air intake.
[0038] When using the electronic cigarette normally, the user inhales, generating airflow. The external airflow enters the first air tube 902 through the fixed hole 501, which is adjusted to the correct position. The airflow pushes the pneumatic switch 901, opening it. Then, the airflow pushes the first slider 904 inside the first air tube 902, causing it to slide inside the first air tube 902. When it slides to the appropriate position, the airflow flows out through the multiple first through holes 905 on its exterior. The airflow enters the atomizing chamber 4 and flows out from the mouthpiece cap 3. When inhalation stops, if the gas inside the electronic cigarette body 1 is too large, it will flow back, pushing the first slider 904 to reset. When the first slider 904 returns to its original position, the first air tube 902 will be in a closed state. At the same time, the airflow pushes the second slider 907 inside the second air tube 903, causing it to slide inside the second air tube 903. When the second slider 907 slides to the set position, the airflow will be discharged from the second through hole 906 on its exterior, thereby relieving pressure on the pneumatic switch 901.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
