Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model provides an automatic cartridge replenishment device for electronic cigarettes, belonging to the field of electronic cigarette technology. Background Technology

[0002] The term "electronic cigarette" or "electronic e-cigarette" is generally used to refer to handheld electronic devices that simulate the sensation or experience of smoking traditional cigarettes. Their function is to heat and vaporize e-liquid through an internal atomizer for the smoker to use. Compared to the direct combustion of traditional tobacco, this effectively reduces the production of harmful substances and, to some extent, lessens the harm to the smoker and those around them.

[0003] Currently, electronic cigarette components generally include an electronic cigarette holder and a cartridge located at the top of the holder. The electronic cigarette holder typically includes a housing, a battery located inside the housing, a control panel, a pressure sensor, and contacts for supplying power to the heating wire of the cartridge. However, in use, since it usually only has a single cartridge insertion interface, manual cartridge replacement is relatively frequent, and it is difficult to automatically replenish and replace cartridges with the user's preferred flavor according to vaping needs. Based on this, this utility model provides an automatic cartridge replenishment device for electronic cigarettes. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem solved by this utility model is that: the manual replacement of a single tobacco cartridge is relatively frequent, and it is difficult to automatically replenish and replace the tobacco cartridge with the user's preferred flavor according to the vaping needs.

[0006] The guide components are located on both sides of cartridge one and cartridge two to limit and guide their movement;

[0007] Both the first and second tobacco cartridges are slidably covered with protective shells, and both side walls of the first and second tobacco cartridges are provided with locking components to lock the first and second tobacco cartridges inside the protective shells.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes grooves formed on both side walls of cartridge one and cartridge two, with a spring fixedly connected to the bottom of the groove, and a locking head fixedly connected to the other end of the spring, which is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the groove and passes through the outer wall of the protective shell.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer wall of the protective shell is provided with a through hole that passes through the locking head, and the two inner side walls of the groove are symmetrically provided with limiting rails that match the outer side wall of the locking head.

[0010] Furthermore, the structures of cartridge one and cartridge two are identical.

[0011] Furthermore, the guide assembly includes support blocks symmetrically fixed at the bottom of the two side walls of the protective shell, and support rods are provided between the side walls of the support blocks on the same side that are close to each other;

[0012] It also includes horizontal plates symmetrically fixed on both sides of the top of the outer wall of the electronic cigarette rod, and the top of the horizontal plates is provided with support ears that pass through the support rod.

[0013] Furthermore, one side of the horizontal plate has a vertical plate at its bottom that is fixedly connected to the electric push rod. The telescopic rod end of the electric push rod passes through the vertical plate and is fixedly connected to an L-shaped rod that is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support block on one side near the first cigarette cartridge.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] The locking mechanism secures cartridge one and cartridge two within the protective casing. Activating the electric push rod via the control panel moves cartridge one and cartridge two from the casing to the top of the e-cigarette. Compared to traditional e-cigarettes with only a single cartridge, this one has two cartridges, allowing the cartridge located on one side of the e-cigarette to serve as a backup, reducing the frequency of manual cartridge replacement. It can automatically replenish and replace the user's preferred flavor cartridge one or cartridge two at the top of the e-cigarette based on vaping needs, satisfying the vaping requirements of one or two flavors, making it flexible and convenient to use.

[0028] The principle of this utility model

[0029] In use, the user's preferred flavored tobacco cartridges 1 (2) and 2 (4) are locked inside the protective shell 5 by the locking component 6. When tobacco cartridge 1 (2) at the top of the electronic cigarette device 1 is used up or when the user wants to switch to the flavor of tobacco cartridge 2 (4), the electric push rod 9 is activated via the control panel, moving the L-shaped rod 16, which in turn moves the connected support block 7, which in turn moves the protective shell 5 located outside tobacco cartridge 1 (2). Under the action of the support rod 8, the protective shell 5 located outside tobacco cartridge 2 (4) moves. When the electric push rod 9 extends to its limit, tobacco cartridge 2 (4) moves... When the device is moved to the top of the e-cigarette rod 1, the power supply contact is located at the bottom of the second cartridge 4, which is used to supply power to the heating wire of the second cartridge 4. This enables convenient and automatic replenishment of the cartridge. Compared with traditional e-cigarettes that only have a single cartridge, this device has two cartridges. The cartridge located on one side of the e-cigarette rod 1 can be used as a backup cartridge, reducing the frequency of manual cartridge replacement. It can automatically replenish the user's preferred flavor cartridges 1 and 2 to the top of the e-cigarette rod according to vaping needs, satisfying the vaping needs of one or two flavors, making it flexible and convenient to use.
