[0036] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0037] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0038] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0039] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0040] In the preparation of whiskey, cocktails, and other beverages, smoky flavors impart unique taste and aroma. Related techniques primarily involve manually igniting smoking materials with a fire source, then using natural airflow or manual operation to diffuse the resulting smoke onto the target object to create a smoky effect. However, this manual method is inefficient and cumbersome, and the smoke tends to disperse easily, resulting in low smoke utilization.

[0041] Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the problems of low efficiency, low smoke utilization, and poor smoke generation effect caused by manual operation, a smoke generating device was designed. The electric arc generated by the ignition electrode of the electronic igniter is used to ignite the material to be burned in the trough and form smoke. The smoke can enter the first receiving cavity through the smoke exhaust hole and be discharged to the outside through the smoke outlet. This can effectively improve the operating efficiency, and the smoke generated can be discharged to the outside through the smoke outlet, thereby improving the smoke utilization efficiency and thus improving the smoke generation effect. At the same time, the air pump is connected to the air duct with the air outlet facing the ignition electrode. When the ignition electrode generates an electric arc, the air pump can blow air to the ignition electrode through the air duct, so that the electric arc generated by the ignition electrode is blown into a curved shape, so that the contact area between the electric arc and the material to be burned is larger, thereby further improving the efficiency of the ignition electrode in igniting the material to be burned.

[0042] The smoke generating apparatus provided in this application will now be further described with reference to specific embodiments.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8This application provides a smoke generating device 1000, including a housing 100, an end cap 200, a supporting structure 300, an electronic lighter 400, and an air pump 500. The housing 100 has two independent receiving cavities: a first receiving cavity 101 and a second receiving cavity 102. One end of the first receiving cavity 101 is exposed at the top of the housing 100, and a smoke outlet 101a is formed on the inner wall of the other end of the first receiving cavity 101, connecting the first receiving cavity 101 to the outside. A first assembly hole 100a is formed on the wall between the first receiving cavity 101 and the second receiving cavity 102, connecting the first receiving cavity 101 and the second receiving cavity 102. The end cap 200 is disposed at the top of the housing 100, sealing the first receiving cavity 101. The supporting structure 300 is disposed at the first receiving cavity 100. Inside the receiving cavity 101, the supporting structure 300 is provided with a receiving groove 301 for receiving the material to be burned, and the end cap 200 is sealed in the receiving groove 301; the supporting structure 300 is provided with a second assembly hole 300a and a smoke exhaust hole 300b, and the receiving groove 301 is connected to the first receiving cavity 101 through the smoke exhaust hole 300b; the electronic igniter 400 is disposed in the second receiving cavity 102, and the electronic igniter 400 includes an ignition electrode 410 for generating an electric arc, the ignition electrode 410 passes through the first assembly hole 100a and the second assembly hole 300a and is disposed in the receiving groove 301; the air pump 500 is disposed in the second receiving cavity 102, and the output end of the air pump 500 is connected to an air duct 510, the air duct 510 passes through the first assembly hole 100a and faces into the second assembly hole 300a, and the air outlet end of the air duct 510 faces the ignition electrode 410.

[0044] Shell 100 refers to an outer shell structure used to contain the material to be burned and for ignition. Optionally, shell 100 may be, but is not limited to, a cylindrical structure, a spherical structure, a block structure, etc.

[0045] The housing 100 has an independent first receiving cavity 101 and a second receiving cavity 102 inside; wherein, the first receiving cavity 101 is used for the material to be burned to generate smoke, and the second receiving cavity 102 is used for the assembly of components such as the air pump 500 and the electronic igniter 400.

[0046] One end of the first receiving cavity 101 is exposed at the top of the housing 100, so that the material to be burned can be added to the support structure 300 inside the first receiving cavity 101 from the outside, and the residue after combustion can be easily cleaned from the outside. Furthermore, by connecting the end cap 200 to the housing 100, the second receiving cavity 102 and the receiving groove 301 of the support structure 300 can be sealed.

[0047] A smoke outlet 101a is provided on the inner wall of the other end of the first receiving cavity 101. When the material to be burned in the receiving groove 301 of the supporting structure 300 burns and forms smoke, the smoke can be discharged outward through the smoke outlet 101a. In this way, the smoke can be discharged to a fixed point through the smoke outlet 101a, so that the smoke outlet 101a can be oriented towards the target object, so that most of the smoke can be diffused onto the target object, forming a better smoking effect.

[0048] A first mounting hole 100a is provided on the wall between the first receiving cavity 101 and the second receiving cavity 102; the wall between the first receiving cavity 101 and the second receiving cavity 102 refers to the wall structure used to separate and form the first receiving cavity 101 and the second receiving cavity 102, which are independent of each other, within the housing 100; thus, the first receiving cavity 101 and the second receiving cavity 102 can be connected through the first mounting hole 100a, so that components such as the air pump 500 and the electronic lighter 400 can pass through the first mounting hole 100a and be arranged towards the second mounting hole 300a.

[0049] The end cap 200 is disposed on the top of the housing 100; optionally, the end cap 200 can be connected and assembled with the housing 100 by means of magnetic attraction, rotational connection, snap-fit ​​connection, or plug-in connection. When the end cap 200 is connected to the top of the housing 100, the end cap 200 can also cover the first receiving cavity 101 and the receiving groove 301, so that the smoke generated by combustion can flow from the smoke outlet 101a.

[0050] The support structure 300 refers to a container used to hold materials to be burned (such as sawdust or other materials that produce smoke when burned). The materials to be burned can be placed in the receiving groove 301 of the support structure 300 and burned to produce smoke within the receiving groove 301. Optionally, the support structure 300 can be, but is not limited to, a basin structure, a bowl-shaped structure, a box structure, etc.; the material of the support structure 300 can be a metal material, stainless steel material, or other high-temperature resistant materials.

[0051] The support structure 300 can be snapped into the first receiving cavity 101, or the support structure 300 can be overlapped and placed at the port of the first receiving cavity 101 facing the end cover 200 for fixation; or the support structure 300 can also be connected to the end cover 200 by means of snap-fit ​​connection, etc. When the end cover 200 is separated from the housing 100, the support structure 300 will be moved out of the first receiving cavity 101 at the same time, and then the support structure 300 can be removed from the end cover 200.

[0052] The supporting structure 300 is provided with a second mounting hole 300a and a smoke exhaust hole 300b. The second mounting hole 300a can be located anywhere on the supporting structure 300, such as the side or the bottom of the supporting structure 300. Thus, when the ignition electrode 410 is inserted into the receiving groove 301 through the second mounting hole 300a, the ignition electrode 410 can perform ignition operation from the side or bottom of the receiving groove 301. Compared with ignition from the top, igniting the material to be burned from the side or bottom of the receiving groove 301 allows the flame to spread from the bottom or side to the surroundings and top during combustion, thereby enabling the material to be burned to burn more completely.

[0053] The smoke exhaust hole 300b refers to the hole-like structure opened on the supporting structure 300. In this way, when the material to be burned is burned in the receiving tank 301 and smoke is generated, the smoke can be discharged from the smoke exhaust hole 300b into the first receiving cavity 101, so that the smoke passes through the first receiving cavity 101 and is discharged outward from the smoke outlet 101a.

[0054] An electronic igniter 400 refers to a structure capable of generating an electric arc to ignite materials to be burned. The electronic igniter 400 includes ignition electrodes 410, which generate an electric arc by supplying voltage to them. The ignition electrodes 410 pass through a first mounting hole 100a and a second mounting hole 300a and are disposed within a receiving groove 301. When the ignition electrodes 410 generate an electric arc, the arc contacts the materials to be burned and ignites them.

[0055] The air pump 500 refers to a component used to generate airflow and output gas outwards. The air pump 500 can be mounted and housed in the second receiving cavity 102 via a bracket or similar device. The output end of the air pump 500 is connected to a duct 510, which passes through the first mounting hole 100a and faces the second mounting hole 300a, so that the air outlet of the duct 510 faces the ignition electrode 410. Thus, when using the electronic igniter 400 for ignition, the air pump 500 can be used simultaneously for blowing air. During the arc generation process at the ignition electrode 410, the air pump 500 blows air through the duct 510 onto the ignition electrode 410, causing the arc to form an arc shape under the blowing action. Therefore, compared to a straight arc formed between the ignition electrodes 410, the arc-shaped arc has a larger contact area with the material to be burned, resulting in a higher ignition success rate.

[0056] Furthermore, the air pump 500 blows air into the receiving trough 301 through the air duct 510. The blown air can improve the combustion efficiency, and the airflow formed can accelerate the flow of the smoke generated inside, so that the smoke can be quickly discharged to the outside through the smoke exhaust hole 300b and the smoke outlet 101a for the smoke fumigation operation.

[0057] With this configuration, the smoke generating device 1000 provided in this application embodiment can place the material to be burned in the receiving groove 301 of the supporting structure 300, and then ignite the material to be burned by the electric arc generated by the ignition electrode 410 of the electronic igniter 400 to form smoke. The smoke can enter the first receiving cavity 101 through the smoke exhaust hole 300b, and be discharged to the outside at a fixed point through the smoke outlet 101a. This can effectively improve the operating efficiency, and the generated smoke can be discharged at a fixed point through the smoke outlet 101a, thereby improving the smoke utilization efficiency and thus improving the smoke fumigation effect. At the same time, the air outlet of the air duct 510 connected to the air pump 500 faces the ignition electrode 410, so that when the ignition electrode 410 generates an electric arc, the air pump 500 can blow air to the ignition electrode 410 through the air duct 510, so that the electric arc generated by the ignition electrode 410 is blown into a curved shape, so that the contact area between the electric arc and the material to be burned is larger, thereby further improving the efficiency of the ignition electrode 410 in igniting the material to be burned.

[0058] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, the supporting structure 300 includes a bottom 310 and a side portion 320 circumferentially disposed on the bottom 310. The bottom 310 and the side portion 320 together enclose a receiving groove 301. Smoke exhaust holes 300b are provided on both the bottom 310 and the side portion 320. A second mounting hole 300a is disposed on the side portion 320, and the second mounting hole 300a is directly opposite the first mounting hole 100a.

[0059] The supporting structure 300 includes a bottom 310 and a side 320; thus, the bottom 310 and the side 320 can be combined to form a bowl-shaped structure, a basin-shaped structure, or other structural components that form an internal receiving groove 301. The material to be burned is contained within the receiving groove 301 formed by the bottom 310 and the side 320; the end cap 200 can connect to the end of the side 320 opposite to the bottom 310 and seal the receiving groove 301.

[0060] Smoke vents 300b are provided on both the bottom 310 and the side 320; thus, the smoke generated when the material to be burned in the accommodating tank 301 is burned can be simultaneously discharged into the first accommodating cavity 101 through all the smoke vents 300b on the bottom 310 and the side 320, thereby improving the efficiency of smoke discharge to the smoke outlet 101a.

[0061] In this embodiment, the second mounting hole 300a is disposed on the side 320 of the supporting structure 300. Thus, the ignition electrode 410 of the electronic igniter 400 can extend from the side 320 of the supporting structure 300 into the receiving groove 301 and ignite the material to be burned in the center of the receiving groove 301. In this way, after the material to be burned is ignited in the central region, it can more efficiently diffuse to ignite all the material to be burned, thereby increasing the smoke emission and improving the smoke extraction effect.

[0062] At the same time, the air pump 500 can introduce air from the side 320 into the material to be burned in the receiving tank 301 through the air duct 510, thereby loosening the stacked materials to be burned and increasing the gap between them, so as to facilitate the spread of combustion and complete combustion of the materials to be burned.

[0063] In this configuration, the second mounting hole 300a is directly opposite the first mounting hole 100a. Therefore, when assembling the ignition electrode 410 of the electronic igniter 400 located in the second receiving cavity 102, it can directly and simultaneously pass through the first mounting hole 100a and the second mounting hole 300a, thus improving the ease of assembling the ignition electrode 410. Similarly, when the air pump 500 located in the second receiving cavity 102 is connected to the air duct 510, the air duct 510 can directly pass through the first mounting hole 100a and be directly opposite the second mounting hole 300a, thus improving the ease of assembling and connecting the air duct 510.

[0064] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figure 6 , Figure 7 In some embodiments, the supporting structure 300 includes a bottom 310 and a side portion 320 circumferentially disposed on the bottom 310. The bottom 310 and the side portion 320 together enclose a receiving groove 301. Smoke exhaust holes 300b are provided on both the bottom 310 and the side portion 320. A second assembly hole 300a is provided on the bottom 310.

[0065] In this embodiment, the second mounting hole 300a is disposed at the bottom 310 of the supporting structure 300. Thus, the ignition electrode 410 of the electronic igniter 400 can extend from the bottom 310 of the supporting structure 300 into the receiving groove 301 and ignite the material to be burned at the bottom 310 of the receiving groove 301. In this way, after the material to be burned is ignited in the bottom 310 area, it can more efficiently diffuse upwards to ignite all the material to be burned, thereby increasing the smoke output and improving the smoke extraction effect.

[0066] At the same time, the air pump 500 can introduce air from the bottom 310 into the material to be burned in the receiving tank 301 through the air duct 510, thereby loosening the stacked materials to be burned and increasing the gap between them, so as to facilitate the spread of combustion and complete combustion of the materials to be burned.

[0067] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments, the air outlet of the duct 510 is connected to an air nozzle 520, which is located at the second mounting hole 300a and the air outlet of the air nozzle 520 faces the ignition electrode 410.

[0068] The nozzle 520 is a structure used for gas flow control, through which airflow can be ejected to control the flow of gas. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the nozzle 520 can be made of various materials such as ceramic nozzle 520.

[0069] Understandably, by connecting the air nozzle 520 to the air outlet of the air duct 510, the airflow generated by the air pump 500 can be precisely blown toward the ignition electrode 410 through the air nozzle 520, thereby making it easier for the electric arc generated between the ignition electrodes 410 to form an arc-shaped electric arc under the action of the airflow blown out by the air nozzle 520, so as to increase the contact area between the electric arc and the material to be burned.

[0070] The air nozzle 520 is disposed at the second mounting hole 300a; optionally, the air nozzle 520 can be fixedly mounted at the second mounting hole 300a by means of bonding, plugging or other methods; or, the air nozzle 520 can also be installed at the second mounting hole 300a by means of a bracket, mounting block, mounting plate or other structures.

[0071] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments, a connecting block 600 is also included. The connecting block 600 is disposed in the first receiving cavity 101 and blocks the second assembly hole 300a. The connecting block 600 is provided with an installation groove 601, which communicates with the second assembly hole 300a. The connecting block 600 is also provided with a first connecting hole 602 and a second connecting hole 603. The air nozzle 520 is housed in the installation groove 601. The air outlet end of the air duct 510 is connected to the first connecting hole 602 and connected to the air nozzle 520 through the first connecting hole 602. The ignition electrode 410 passes through the second connecting hole 603 and is inserted into the receiving groove 301.

[0072] The connecting block 600 is used to block the second assembly hole 300a to reduce the probability that the material to be burned contained in the receiving groove 301 will fall out of the second assembly hole 300a. Optionally, the connecting block 600 can be made of a high-temperature resistant material such as a ceramic connecting block 600; the connecting block 600 can be connected to the outer wall of the supporting structure 300. For example, the connecting block 600 can be connected to the outer wall of the supporting structure 300 by means of bonding, snap-fit, etc.; or, the connecting block 600 can be connected to the housing 100, for example, it can be connected to the side wall of the housing 100 facing the first receiving cavity 101, or it can be connected to the side wall of the housing 100 facing the second receiving cavity 102. For example, the connecting block 600 and the housing 100 are integrally injection molded.

[0073] The connecting block 600 is provided with a mounting groove 601 for accommodating the air nozzle 520, thereby allowing the air nozzle 520 to blow directly into the accommodating groove 601. Optionally, the air nozzle 520 can be fixedly connected to the connecting block 600; or, the air nozzle 520 can be integrally formed with the connecting block 600 so that the air nozzle 520 communicates with the first connecting hole 602 of the connecting block 600.

[0076] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments, the housing 100 and the end cap 200 are connected by snap-fit.

[0077] In this embodiment, the housing 100 and the end cap 200 are connected by a snap-fit. Optionally, a snap-fit ​​structure can be provided on either the housing 100 or the end cap 200, while a slot structure can be provided on the other. The end cap 200 can be connected and assembled onto the housing 100 by using the snap-fit ​​structure and the slot structure to engage.

[0078] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments, the housing 100 and the end cap 200 are magnetically connected.

[0079] In this embodiment, the housing 100 and the end cap 200 are connected by magnetic attraction. Optionally, a magnetic structure (e.g., a magnet, permanent magnet, or other magnetic structure) can be provided on either the housing 100 or the end cap 200, while a magnetic attraction structure (a ferromagnetic metal, such as iron or steel) can be provided on the other. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, a magnet can be provided on the housing 100, while at least a portion of the material of the end cap 200 is made of steel (e.g., the end cap 200 is made of stainless steel); in this way, the end cap 200 can be magnetically fixed to the housing 100.

[0080] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8In some embodiments, the housing 100 includes a bottom wall 110, side walls 120, and an outer cover 130. The bottom wall 110 includes a first bottom 111 located on the inner side and a second bottom 112 located on the outer side. The side walls 120 surround the first bottom 111 and form a first receiving cavity 101. A smoke outlet 101a is provided on the first bottom 111, and the first bottom 111 protrudes outward in a direction opposite to the first receiving cavity 101. One end of the outer cover 130 is connected to the second bottom 112, and the opposite end of the outer cover 130 is connected to the side walls 120. The outer cover 130, the second bottom 112, and the side walls 120 together form a second receiving cavity 102.

[0081] Bottom wall 110 refers to the bottom 310 structural portion of the housing 100; bottom wall 110 includes a first bottom 111 and a second bottom 112, the first bottom 111 is located on the inner side of bottom wall 110, and the second bottom 112 is located on the outer side of bottom wall 110; for example, bottom wall 110 may be circular in structure, the first bottom 111 may refer to the central circular area of ​​the circular structure, and the second bottom 112 may refer to the annular area of ​​the outer ring of the circular structure, the annular area surrounds the central circular area, and the annular area and the circular area can be joined together to form a bottom wall 110 with a circular structure.

[0082] The side wall 120 refers to the wall structure that is vertically arranged on the bottom wall 110. The side wall 120 surrounds the first bottom 111 and forms the first receiving cavity 101. Thus, the end of the side wall 120 away from the first bottom 111 is open. When the end cap 200 is connected to the top of the housing 100, the open first receiving cavity 101 can be sealed.

[0083] A smoke outlet 101a is provided on the first bottom 111; thus, when the receiving groove 301 in the bearing structure 300 provided in the first receiving cavity 101 ignites the material to be burned and generates smoke, the smoke can be discharged outward from the smoke outlet 101a of the first bottom 111 to smoke external targets (such as steak, wine, etc.). The smoke outlet 101a may be, but is not limited to, an open structure, a hole structure, or other through structure.

[0084] In this embodiment, the first bottom 111 is convex outward in the direction opposite to the first receiving cavity 101, that is, the first bottom 111 is convex relative to the second bottom 112. In this way, when the smoke generated inside is discharged outward from the smoke outlet 101a of the first bottom wall 110, the convex first bottom 111 can be closer to the target object, thereby improving the contact effect between the smoke and the target object, and thus improving the smoking effect.

[0085] The outer cover 130 refers to the cover structure used to cover the bottom wall 110 and the side wall 120; one end of the outer cover 130 is connected to the second bottom 112, and the other end of the outer cover 130 is connected to the side wall 120. In this way, the outer cover 130 can cover the second bottom 112 and the side wall 120 and together form the second receiving cavity 102.

[0086] For example, in some embodiments, the outer cover 130 may include an upper cover and a side cover surrounding the outer edge of the upper cover. The upper cover is connected to one end of the side wall 120 facing away from the bottom wall 110, and an avoidance opening is formed on the upper cover to avoid the opening of the first receiving cavity 101. The side cover is connected to the outer edge of the second bottom 112. In this way, it can accommodate the air pump 500, the electronic lighter 400, etc.

[0087] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments, the second bottom 112 has a support protrusion 112a for supporting placement on the side surface facing away from the second receiving cavity 102.

[0088] The supporting protrusion 112a refers to the structure that forms a support when the smoke generating device 1000 is placed and used. For example, when the smoke generating device 1000 is placed on the rim of a wine glass and the first bottom 111 extends into the inside of the wine glass and smokes the wine through the smoke outlet 101a, the supporting protrusion 112a can support the rim of the wine glass; in this way, it can effectively avoid the situation where the second bottom 112 fits against the rim of the wine glass, resulting in a closed space inside the wine glass and making it difficult for smoke to enter the inside of the wine glass.

[0089] By supporting the rim of the wine glass with the support protrusion 112a, a gap is formed between the rim of the wine glass and the second bottom 112 to form a channel for gas flow, so that the smoke in the first receiving cavity 101 can be more easily discharged from the smoke outlet 101a into the wine glass for smoking.

[0090] Optionally, the support protrusion 112a may be, but is not limited to, a strip-shaped structure, an arc-shaped structure, a spherical structure, a patterned structure, etc. The number of support protrusions 112a may be multiple, and the multiple support protrusions 112a may be centrally symmetrically distributed around the first bottom 111.

[0091] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8In some embodiments, the smoke generating device 1000 further includes a circuit board 700 and a battery 800. The circuit board 700 and the battery 800 are both housed in the second receiving cavity 102. The circuit board 700 is electrically connected to the battery 800, the electronic lighter 400, and the air pump 500. The battery 800 is electrically connected to the electronic lighter 400 and the air pump 500 through the circuit board 700. The circuit board 700 is provided with a switch structure 710 and a charging port 720. The housing 100 is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole. The switch structure 710 passes through the first through hole and is exposed outside the housing 100. The charging port 720 is disposed in the second through hole and is exposed outside the housing 100.

[0092] Among them, circuit board 700 refers to the basic structure used to support and connect electronic components.

[0093] The circuit board 700 is provided with a switch structure 710 and a charging port 720, and the circuit board 700 is electrically connected to the battery 800, the electronic igniter 400, and the air pump 500. Thus, the switch structure 710 can be electrically connected to the electronic igniter 400 and the air pump 500 through a switch circuit formed on the circuit board 700. When the switch structure 710 is operated, the electronic igniter 400 can be controlled to ignite, and the air pump 500 can be controlled simultaneously to blow air. The battery 800 can be charged through the charging port 720, allowing the battery 800 to store electrical energy and supply power to the electronic igniter 400 and the air pump 500. Optionally, the switch structure 710 can be, but is not limited to, a push-button switch, a rotary switch, etc.

[0094] The housing 100 has a first through hole and a second through hole; thus, the switch structure 710 passes through the first through hole and is exposed outside the housing 100, and the charging port 720 is located inside the second through hole and is exposed outside the housing 100, so that the user can easily operate the switch structure 710 and plug in the charging port 720 for charging.

[0095] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
