Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic cigarette technology, and in particular to a universal cigarette holder with a hard switch button and an electronic cigarette. Background Technology

[0002] Universal e-cigarette devices (electronic cigarette main units) can support non-original cartridges, also known as "universal cartridges." Universal e-cigarette devices adapt to different cartridge specifications through resistor identification or communication protocols, reducing user costs. Currently, most universal e-cigarette devices on the market use microphone activation and cannot adjust the output power and power on / off. Consumers cannot adjust the power according to their own needs, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0003] To meet consumer demand, universal e-cigarette devices with buttons have begun to appear on the market. One type places the buttons on the front of the device, allowing users to adjust the output power and turn it on / off. However, front-mounted buttons are not user-friendly and affect the device's appearance. Another type uses a soft membrane button on the side, which is folded and placed on the side of the device. This type of soft membrane button is prone to malfunctions during assembly and folding, resulting in a higher defect rate. Furthermore, soft membrane buttons are easily damaged by prolonged pressing, affecting their lifespan. Utility Model Content

Under the action of external force, the switch button is pressed in the direction of pressing the switch, and the contact part compresses the rebound protrusion until the contact part contacts the end of the fixed post. After the external force is removed, the compressed rebound protrusion pushes the contact part and the switch button to reset.

[0008] In some embodiments, the end face of the pressing part protrudes towards the switch button, and when the rebound pad is not under force, the rebound protrusion is higher than the end face of the pressing part and the end face of the fixing post, and the end face of the fixing post is lower than the end face of the pressing part.

[0009] In some embodiments, the spring-loaded protrusion is located on the side of the fixed post away from the pressing part, and the contact part is provided with a first contact point and a second contact point that respectively contact the spring-loaded protrusion and the fixed post, wherein the first contact point is higher than the second contact point.

[0010] In some embodiments, the contact portion is configured as an arc surface on the side facing the rebound pad, and the arc surface on the side of the first contact point bends away from the rebound pad.

[0011] In some embodiments, the pressing part is provided with a positioning groove at a position corresponding to the pressing switch, and the pressing head of the pressing switch is disposed in the positioning groove.

[0012] In some embodiments, the fixing part is provided with a fixing hole, and the fixing post is inserted into the fixing hole.

[0013] In some embodiments, the circuit board is provided with a display screen, and the push switch is electrically connected to the display screen via the circuit board.

[0014] In some embodiments, the switch button is a hard switch button.

[0015] Secondly, this utility model also provides an electronic cigarette, including a main unit, wherein the main unit is a universal cigarette holder with a hard switch button as described in the first aspect.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: placing the hard switch button on the side of the universal cigarette holder better adapts to the user's grip; the push switch is welded and fixed on the circuit board inside the universal cigarette holder, resulting in higher installation accuracy and improved production yield; the elasticity of the rebound rubber pad provides a better pressing feel, and the support fixing column fixes the rebound rubber pad and limits the pressing depth of the switch button, preventing excessive pressing of the switch button from damaging the push switch and improving its service life.

[0029] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 The figure shows a cross-sectional view of the universal cigarette holder with hard switch button 4. The slot 7 on the upper part of the universal cigarette holder is used to connect to the cigarette cartridge. The spring pin 8 in the slot 7 is used to connect to the cigarette cartridge for power supply. The hard switch button 4 is located on the side of the universal cigarette holder. The switch button 4 is partially exposed on the outer wall of the holder 1. The switch button 4 contacts the push switch 2 through the rebound rubber pad 3. The rebound rubber pad 3 in the figure is in a state of no force.

[0031] refer to Figures 1 to 4 A universal e-cigarette device with a hard switch button 4 includes a device body 1, a push switch 2, a spring-loaded rubber pad 3, and a switch button 4. A bracket 11 is provided inside the device body 1. The push switch 2 is fixed to the bracket 11 by a circuit board 5. The spring-loaded rubber pad 3 is sandwiched between the switch button 4 and the push switch 2. The switch button 4 is exposed on the outer wall of the device body 1 and is located on the side of the device body 1. The position of the switch button 4 is close to the e-cigarette cartridge, which can better adapt to the user's grip. When the user holds the universal e-cigarette device, the e-cigarette cartridge is facing the mouth, and the thumb is just near the switch button 4, which can be pressed by the user very conveniently.

[0032] The pressing part 31 in the middle of the rebound pad 3 contacts the push switch 2 and the switch button 4. The switch button 4 acts on the push switch 2 through the pressing part 31. The two ends of the rebound pad 3 in the length direction are provided with fixing parts 32. The two ends of the switch button 4 in the length direction are respectively provided with contact parts 41 that cooperate with the fixing parts 32. The bracket 11 has a fixing post 12 protruding towards the switch button 4 and engaging with the fixing part 32. The fixing post 12 has an end 13 that limits the pressing depth of the switch button 4. The end 13 is higher than the end face of the fixing part 32. The rebound pad 3 provides the elastic force to reset the switch button 4. The rebound pad 3 is fixed to one side of the push switch 2 by the fixing post 12 of the bracket 11, so that the rebound pad 3 can better cover the push switch 2. The fixing post 12 is higher than the fixing part 32 of the rebound pad 3, which limits the pressing depth of the switch button 4, avoids the switch button 4 being pressed too much and damaging the push switch 2, and improves the service life.

[0033] The retaining part 32 of the rebound pad 3 protrudes towards the pressing switch 2 and has a rebound protrusion 33 that cooperates with the contact part 41. Under the action of external force, the switch button 4 is pressed towards the pressing switch 2, and the contact part 41 compresses the rebound protrusion 33 until the contact part 41 contacts the end 13 of the retaining post 12. After the external force is removed, the compressed rebound protrusion 33 pushes the contact part 41 and the switch button 4 to reset. In addition to the middle pressing part 31 providing the elastic force to reset the switch button 4, the two rebound protrusions 33 on both sides of the pressing part 31 can also provide the elastic force to reset the switch button 4. Through the pressing part 31 and the two rebound protrusions 33, the switch button 4 can be quickly pushed to reset, giving the user a better user experience.

[0034] In order to enable the rebound pad 3 to better push the switch button 4 to reset, in this embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 The end face of the pressing part 31 protrudes towards the switch button 4. When the rebound pad 3 is not under force, the rebound protrusion 33 is higher than the end face of the pressing part 31 and the end face of the fixing post 12, and the end face of the fixing post 12 is lower than the end face of the pressing part 31.

[0035] Understandably, the fixing post 12 is used to limit and fix the rebound pad 3. The height of the fixing post 12 needs to be higher than the end face of the fixing part 32. The height of the pressing part 31 and the rebound protrusion 33 is higher than the height of the fixing post 12 to ensure that the pressing part 31 and the rebound protrusion 33 have sufficient compression height. In addition, the spring inside the pressing switch 2 also provides the reset force, so that the switch button 4 can be pushed to reset stably and quickly.

[0036] It should be further explained that the middle part of the switch button 4 protrudes from the button hole 14 on the outer side wall of the rod body 1, and the contact parts 41 on both sides are larger than the button hole 14, so as to ensure that the switch button 4 cannot protrude completely from the button hole 14, so that the switch button 4 can be stably installed inside the universal cigarette rod.

[0037] To reduce the overall height of the hard switch button 4, in this embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 The spring-loaded protrusion 33 is located on the side of the fixed post 12 away from the pressing part 31. The contact part 41 is provided with a first contact point 43 and a second contact point 44 that respectively contact the spring-loaded protrusion 33 and the fixed post 12. The first contact point 43 is higher than the second contact point 44. The side of the contact part 41 facing the spring-loaded rubber pad 3 is set as an arc surface 42. The arc surface 42 on the side of the first contact point 43 is bent away from the spring-loaded rubber pad 3.

[0038] It is understandable that the contact part 41 adapts to the spring-loaded protrusion 33 and the fixed post 12 through the arc surface 42. With the height of the spring-loaded protrusion 33 and the fixed post 12 remaining unchanged, the contact height of the contact part 41 with the spring-loaded protrusion 33 and the fixed post 12 is optimized, reducing the gap between the switch button 4 and the spring-loaded rubber pad 3. This reduces the overall height of the hard switch button 4, avoids occupying too much internal space of the universal cigarette rod, facilitates the optimization of the internal structure of the universal cigarette rod, and ensures that the pressing depth of the switch button 4 is less than the depth of the switch button 4 disengaging from the button hole 14. This prevents the switch button 4 from disengaging from the button hole 14 during the pressing process, and avoids the switch button 4 from being pressed into the universal cigarette rod and getting stuck, thus preventing it from being reset.

[0039] In order to better adapt the push switch 2 to the rebound pad 3, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The pressing part 31 is provided with a positioning groove 34 at a position corresponding to the pressing switch 2, and the pressing head 21 of the pressing switch 2 is disposed in the positioning groove 34.

[0040] Understandably, the pressing head 21 protrudes above the pressing switch 2 and the circuit board 5 and is embedded in the positioning groove 34. The rebound pad 3 wraps around the pressing head 21 through the positioning groove 34, so that the switch button 4 can act on the pressing head 21 through the pressing part 31, avoiding misaligned pressing and ensuring that the switch button 4 can act better on the pressing switch 2.

[0041] In order to fix the rebound pad 3 to the bracket 11, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The fixing part 32 is provided with a fixing hole 35, and the fixing post 12 is inserted into the fixing hole 35.

[0042] It is understandable that the fixing hole 35 is an oblong hole, and the shape of the fixing hole 35 matches the fixing post 12. The fixing hole 35 is slightly smaller than the fixing post 12, so that the fixing hole 35 and the fixing post 12 can be interference-fitted, thereby ensuring that the rebound pad 3 can be stably fixed on the bracket 11 and will not detach on its own.

[0043] To improve user experience, in this embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 2The circuit board 5 is equipped with a display screen 6, and the push switch 2 is electrically connected to the display screen 6 through the circuit board 5.

[0044] Understandably, the universal e-cigarette device displays the power on / off status and battery information on the display screen 6. Users can control the push switch 2 by pressing and holding, pressing and holding, or pressing repeatedly. This causes the push switch 2 to generate corresponding commands, which are transmitted to the chip on the circuit board 5. Based on these commands, the device performs the functions of power on / off and power adjustment. The power adjustment status is simultaneously displayed on the display screen 6, allowing users to see corresponding changes on the display screen 6 when adjusting the switch button 4. This allows consumers to adjust the power according to their own needs, thereby achieving a smoke concentration suitable for their smoking habits.

[0045] To improve service life, in this embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 4 Switch button 4 is a hard switch button 4.

[0046] Understandably, the switch button 4 is a rigid switch button 4 made of plastic injection molding such as PC, PP, PVC, etc., which is convenient for assembly and also ensures that it has sufficient rigidity to protect the push switch 2 during use, thereby improving its service life.

[0047] This application embodiment also provides an electronic cigarette, including a main unit, which is a universal e-cigarette with the aforementioned hard switch button 4. The universal e-cigarette matches a universal e-liquid cartridge via a slot 7. The e-liquid cartridge is inserted into the slot 7. The universal e-cigarette supplies power to the e-liquid cartridge via a spring pin 8. When the user presses the switch button 4 briefly or for a long time, the e-cigarette is turned on, and the universal e-cigarette supplies power to the e-liquid cartridge to atomize smoke. At the same time, the user can inhale the atomized smoke into their mouth by taking a puff from the mouthpiece of the cartridge, thus completing the use of the universal e-liquid cartridge. It is convenient to use. The hard switch button 4 can also be used in conjunction with a microphone, enabling the universal e-cigarette and universal e-liquid cartridge to achieve more usage modes and improve compatibility.

[0048] The above does not limit the technical scope of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
