Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to lighters, specifically to a lighter with an intuitive and visual structure. Background Technology

[0002] Lighters are a common tool for ignition in daily life. However, traditional lighters have a relatively simple function, only capable of igniting a fire and offering little practical information to users. For smokers, it's difficult to intuitively understand the frequency and amount of smoking they consume, hindering efforts to control their smoking and implement quitting plans.

[0003] Meanwhile, traditional lighters lack the ability to interact with smart devices, failing to meet the needs of modern users for a smart and convenient lifestyle. Furthermore, some lighters have poorly designed ignition mechanisms, resulting in low ignition efficiency, and the connection between the flip cover and the main body is not secure enough, making them prone to loosening or damage during use.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve existing lighters to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a lighter with an intuitive and visual structure. This lighter can intuitively display smoking-related data, making it easy for users to control the amount of smoking. It also has the function of interacting with smart devices, while having high ignition efficiency and stable and reliable operation.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following solution: A lighter with an intuitive and visual structure includes a main body and a flip cover. The upper end of the main body has an ignition part, and the flip cover is hinged to the main body and can open and close the ignition part by flipping it.

[0009] A light-transmitting strip is provided corresponding to the number of wire holes. The light-transmitting strip is installed in the wire holes. The emitted light generated by the LED light strip after being powered on can pass through the light-transmitting strip. The light-transmitting length of the light-transmitting strip can be seen by lighting multiple consecutive LED beads.

[0010] An NFC patch is fixed to the bottom of the flip cover.

[0011] Furthermore, the LED light strip is electrically connected to an MCU control module, and the MCU control module is equipped with a button that controls the on / off state of the ignition circuit.

[0012] Furthermore, the MCU control module is equipped with a counting unit that can count the number of times the ammonium bond is ignited. Based on the counting data, the MCU control module controls the LED beads on the LED strip to light up sequentially from one end.

[0013] Furthermore, the ignition part is angled and located at the upper end of the main body.

[0014] Furthermore, the ignition unit is composed of multiple electrode needles spaced at a certain distance, forming an ignition structure that breaks down the air and generates an electric spark when a high-voltage direct current is applied to each electrode needle.

[0015] Furthermore, the electrode needles are provided in four rectangular arrangements.

[0016] Furthermore, the hinge structure between the flip cover and the main body includes:

The main body 1 contains a rechargeable battery, and the lower end of the main body 1 has a Type-C charging interface, which is connected to the rechargeable battery via a charging board. The rechargeable battery provides power to a high-voltage generator, an LED light strip 7, and an MCU control module located within the main body 1.

[0040] The working principle of the ignition unit 5 is as follows: Press button 4 to turn on the power supply, and the power supply supplies power to the high voltage generator; the high voltage generator starts, converts low voltage electricity into high voltage DC electricity and stores it; when the voltage reaches the threshold for breaking down the air, the high voltage is released through the ignition unit 5 to form an electric spark.

[0041] To facilitate smoking cessation, an intuitive and visual light strip is installed on the side of the main body 1 to indicate the amount of lighter used by the user.

[0042] The side of the main body 1 is provided with an intuitive visual light strip structure, which includes:

[0043] An LED light strip 7 is provided on one side of the main body 1, and the LED light strip 7 has multiple LED beads 8 distributed in a linear array;

[0044] A wire hole is provided at the corner of the main body 1, and at least one wire hole is provided, and the wire hole is not obstructed from the light emission direction of the LED light strip 7;

[0045] A light-transmitting strip 2 is provided corresponding to the number of wire holes. The light-transmitting strip 2 is installed in the wire holes. The emitted light generated by the LED light strip 7 after being powered on can pass through the light-transmitting strip 2. By lighting up multiple consecutive LED beads, the light-transmitting length of the light-transmitting strip 2 can be made visible.

[0046] An NFC patch is fixed to the bottom 31 of the flip cover 3.

[0047] The LED light strip 7 is electrically connected to an MCU control module, and the MCU control module is equipped with a button 4, which controls the circuit on / off of the ignition unit 5.

[0048] The MCU control module is equipped with a counting unit, which can count the number of times the ammonium bond 4 is ignited. Based on the counting data, the MCU control module controls the LED beads 8 on the LED strip 7 to light up sequentially from one end.

[0049] The ignition part 5 is located at an angle on the upper end of the main body 1.

[0050] The ignition unit 5 is composed of multiple electrode needles spaced at a certain distance, forming an ignition structure that breaks down the air and generates an electric spark when a high-voltage direct current is applied to each electrode needle.

[0051] The electrode needles are arranged in a rectangular pattern.

[0052] The hinge structure between the flip cover 3 and the main body 1 includes:

[0053] A hinge block 9 is provided at one corner of the upper region of the main body 1. The hinge block 9 has a vertical groove with a side opening and a wire groove at the bottom of the vertical groove.

[0054] Hinged member 10, the lower end of which is hinged to the groove, and the upper end of which is bent to form a hinge end;

[0055] Spring 11 is sleeved on the hinge 10 and defined by the bent portion of the hinge 10;

[0057] The flip cover 3 has a column 32 on the inner side of the end away from the hinge. The end of the column 32 has a groove, in which a magnet 6 is embedded. The magnet 6 can form a magnetic connection with the upper end of the main body 1.

[0058] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When the user presses button 4, the MCU control module controls the circuit of the ignition unit 5 to be turned on, and an electric spark is generated between the electrode needles of the ignition unit 5 to achieve ignition. At the same time, the counting unit counts the number of ignitions. According to the counting data of the counting unit, the MCU control module controls the LED beads 8 on the LED light strip 7 to light up sequentially from one end. The user can intuitively understand the number of ignitions by observing the light transmission strip 2.

[0059] Users can also interact with the lighter's NFC tag via a mobile app to function as an electronic business card. The app can also record data such as the number of cigarettes smoked, and users can set smoking goals within the app, receiving reminders when the goal is approached or reached. The flip cover 3 uses a hinged structure for flexible flipping, and when closed, it is magnetically attached to the main body 1 by magnet 6, ensuring stability during use.

[0060] In summary, this utility model, by setting up an intuitive and visual light strip structure, can intuitively display the user's smoking frequency data in the form of the number of light beads lit. Users can clearly understand their smoking status through the light transmission strip's light transmission length, which helps control the amount of smoking and provides data support for smoking cessation plans.

[0064] The hinge structure of this utility model, connecting the flip cover and the main body, is rationally designed. Through the cooperation of the hinge block, hinge component, spring, and hinge foot, the flip cover flips more smoothly. At the same time, the spring provides a certain elasticity to ensure the stability of the flip cover during the opening and closing process. The flip cover is magnetically connected to the upper part of the main body via a magnet, making the flip cover more stable when closed and less prone to loosening.
