Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electronic cigarette technology, specifically relating to a spring-assisted selector cartridge replacement electronic cigarette structure. Background Technology

[0002] As the e-cigarette market continues to develop, the design and functionality of e-cigarette products are also constantly being optimized. Traditional e-cigarettes typically use fixed cartridges or complex cartridge replacement methods, which presents many inconveniences. For example, some e-cigarettes require users to manually disassemble the casing or use special tools to replace the cartridges, which is not only cumbersome but also prone to damage or contamination of the cartridges during the replacement process. Furthermore, the cartridge replacement process in traditional e-cigarettes lacks effective cushioning and positioning mechanisms, which may damage the electronic components inside the cartridge or cartridge, affecting the product's lifespan and performance.

[0003] In terms of user experience, traditional e-cigarettes have a relatively simple connection between the cigarette case and the lid, lacking sufficient securing measures. This makes the lid prone to loosening due to accidental touches or vibrations, which in turn affects the sealing of the cartridges and the stability of the electronic components. At the same time, the complicated procedures for replacing cartridges also reduce user convenience, especially when frequent cartridge replacements are required, significantly diminishing the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings in the existing technology, this utility model provides a spring-assisted selection and cartridge replacement electronic cigarette structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The cigarette case is connected to the lid via a hinge, and the inside of the cigarette case contains a cartridge box, a main board, a battery, and other components. The cartridge box has an opening at the top and a baffle on one side of the top. The mouthpiece is installed on the lid away from the connection between the cigarette case and the lid. The top of the cigarette case has a button that can move up and down. The button is connected to the upper part of the middle of the baffle via a first connecting block and a protrusion connected to its lower end. The middle of the baffle has a groove, and the end away from the cartridge box is connected to a second connecting block and a second spring.

[0007] Furthermore, the cigarette box has a flip-up connecting lid on one side of the top, and an external display device and adjustment device connected to the motherboard.

[0008] Furthermore, anti-slip blocks are provided on the front and back sides of the lid near the top of the cigarette box.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper part of the cigarette box is provided with a corresponding connection port for the cigarette holder, and a magnetic block is installed on the upper edge.

[0010] Furthermore, the inside of the box lid is hollow, and the edge is provided with iron plates corresponding to the magnetic blocks.
