Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighters, and more particularly to a rocker arm lighter. Background Technology
[0002] In daily life, lighters are widely used as convenient ignition tools for smoking, cooking, and outdoor fire starting. The rationality of their structural design directly affects their ease of use and safety. Currently, the most common lighters on the market are mainly divided into push-button and flip-top types, but they still have obvious shortcomings in terms of operational continuity, structural stability, and user experience.
[0003] Traditional push-button lighters typically require separate operation of the flip-top and ignition mechanism. This means manually flipping the flip-top open first, then pressing the ignition button to light the lighter. The operation steps are fragmented and lack continuity, making it extremely inconvenient, especially when operating with one hand. While some flip-top lighters attempt to achieve automatic flip-top reset using elastic components, the flip-top and ignition actions lack a coordinated design, still requiring separate steps. Utility Model Content

[0020] In this embodiment 1, like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model provides a lighter with a rocker arm 7, including a lighter body 1. The lighter body 1 includes an ignition head 2 and a body assembly 3. The ignition head 2 includes a flip cover 4, an ignition base 5 disposed on the top of the body, a top contact 6 disposed in the ignition base 5, a rocker arm 7 disposed along the outside of the ignition base 5 and connected to the top contact 6, and a movable contact block 8. The ignition base 5 is divided into a flip cover part 9, an ignition part 10 and a flame output part 11 from left to right. The flip cover 4 is rotatably connected to the flip cover part 9 and covers the upper end of the ignition base 5. A groove 12 is opened in the flip cover part 9, and an elastic element 13 is disposed in the groove 12. The movable contact block 8 is disposed in the groove 12 and connected to the elastic element 13. A fixed contact block 14 is provided along the lower end of the flip cover 4 at the junction and abuts against the movable contact block 8. When the flip cover 4 is opened, the fixed contact block 14 presses down on the moving contact block 8 and the elastic element 13 as the flip cover 4 flips and is compressed; when the flip cover 4 is closed, the moving contact block 8 resets through the elastic element 13 and contacts the fixed contact block 14, causing the flip cover 4 to flip and close.
[0021] By setting the lighter body 1, the lighter body 1 includes an ignition head 2 and a body assembly 3. The ignition head 2 includes a flip cover 4, an ignition base 5, a top contact 6, a rocker arm 7, and a moving contact block 8. The ignition base 5 is divided into a flip cover part 9, an ignition part 10, and an ignition part 11 from left to right. The flip cover 4 is rotatably connected to the flip cover part 9 and closes the ignition base 5. The groove 12 of the flip cover part 9 is provided with an elastic element 13 and a moving contact block 8. A contact block 14 is set at the lower end of the flip cover 4 to abut against the moving contact block 8. When the flip cover 4 is opened, the fixed contact block 14 presses down on the moving contact block 8 to compress the elastic element 13. When closed, the moving contact block 8 resets and top contacts the fixed contact block 14 to drive the flip cover 4 to close. This ensures that the flip cover 4 opens and closes smoothly and can automatically reset, improving the convenience of use.
[0022] The fuselage assembly 3 includes an inner shell 19, an outer shell 15 fitted over the inner shell 19, a combustion valve 16 arranged inside the inner shell 19 along the ignition section 11, a piezoelectric igniter 17 arranged inside the inner shell 19 between the flip cover section 9 and the ignition section 10, and a movable contact 18 rotatably disposed at the top of the piezoelectric igniter 17.
[0023] The lighter body assembly 3 includes an inner shell 19, an outer shell 15, a combustion valve 16, a piezoelectric igniter 17, and a moving contact 18. The combustion valve 16 is located along the flame outlet 11 on the inner shell 19. The piezoelectric igniter 17 is located between the flip cover 9 and the ignition part 10. The moving contact 18 is rotatably located on the top of the piezoelectric igniter 17 to provide fuel and ignition device for ignition. The outer shell 15 protects the components of the inner shell 19, ensuring the stability of the lighter structure and the reliability of the ignition function.
[0024] The top contact 6 is rotatably connected and disposed inside the ignition part 10. The top contact 6 extends along the flip cover 4 and the body assembly 3 and is provided with a first linkage end 20 for rotating the top contact flip cover 4 and a second linkage end 21 for contacting and connecting with the moving contact 18.
[0025] By setting the top contact 6 to be rotatably connected to the ignition part 10, the top contact 6 is provided with a first linkage end 20 and a second linkage end 21, which are respectively used to rotate the top contact cover 4 and abut the moving contact 18, so that the top contact 6 can synchronously link the top contact cover 4 and the moving contact 18, providing a structural basis for the rocker arm 7 to achieve the coordinated opening of the top contact cover 4 and the ignition action.
[0026] The top contact 6 drives the first linkage end 20 and the second linkage end 21 synchronously through the rotation of the rocker arm 7. The first linkage end 20 flips open the top contact cover 4 as the top contact 6 rotates, and the second linkage end 21 drives the moving contact 18 to rotate as the top contact 6 rotates. The moving contact 18 rotates and presses down the top of the piezoelectric igniter 17 to achieve ignition.
[0027] By setting the top contact 6 to rotate synchronously with the rocker arm 7 to drive the first and second linkage ends, the first linkage end 20 touches the top to open the flip cover 4, and the second linkage end 21 drives the moving contact 18 to rotate and press down the piezoelectric igniter 17 to ignite. The operation of the rocker arm 7 can simultaneously complete the opening of the flip cover 4 and ignition, simplifying the operation steps and improving the ignition efficiency.
[0028] The combustion valve 16 has a gas nozzle 22 for ignition arranged extending from the fire outlet 11 at its upper end.
[0029] By arranging a gas nozzle 22 extending along the flame outlet 11 at the upper end of the combustion valve 16, the fuel released by the combustion valve 16 can be concentrated and sprayed out through the nozzle, which, together with the ignition device, ensures precise ignition, stabilizes the flame, and improves the ignition success rate.
[0030] The inner shell 19 has a receiving cavity 23 for holding fuel arranged along the lower end of the combustion valve 16.
[0031] A receiving cavity 23 is arranged inside the inner shell 19 along the lower end of the combustion valve 16 to store fuel, providing fuel supply for continuous ignition of the lighter and ensuring its endurance.
[0032] The bottom of the inner shell 19 is provided with a feed valve 24 for adding fuel to the receiving cavity 23.
[0033] By arranging a feed valve 24 at the bottom of the inner shell 19, fuel can be added to the receiving cavity 23, making it convenient for users to replenish fuel, extending the life of the lighter, and improving the practicality of the product.
[0034] In this embodiment 2, like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the lighter body 1 includes an ignition head 2 and a body assembly 3. The ignition head 2 works in conjunction with the body assembly 3 to achieve integrated operation: the rocker arm 7 rotates, driving the top contact 6. The first linkage end 20 of the top contact 6 simultaneously drives the flip cover 4 to open, and the second linkage end 21 drives the moving contact 18 to press down the piezoelectric igniter 17 to complete ignition. At the same time, the gas nozzle 22 of the combustion valve 16 provides precise ignition, resulting in smooth and efficient operation. The elastic element 13 of the flip cover 9 cooperates with the moving contact block 8 to ensure that the flip cover 4 can automatically reset and close, improving ease of use. The inner shell 19's receiving cavity 23 stores fuel, and the bottom feed valve 24 facilitates refueling, ensuring continuous operation. The overall structure is compact, and all components work together, simplifying the operation steps while ensuring ignition stability and durability, combining practicality and convenience.
[0035] In this embodiment 3, like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, when the rocker arm 7 is operated, the rocker arm 7 drives the top contact 6 to move synchronously through the rotation of the shaft. The first linkage end 20 of the top contact 6 pushes the flip cover 4 upward, causing the flip cover 4 to flip open around the hinge point, exposing the gas nozzle 22 of the combustion valve 16. At the same time, the second linkage end 21 presses down on the piezoelectric igniter 17. The piezoelectric igniter 17 generates high voltage under pressure. The current is conducted through the wire to the electrode at the nozzle, forming an electric spark.
[0036] At this time, the combustion valve 16 opens synchronously via mechanical linkage with the ignition mechanism. The fuel (such as butane gas) stored in the receiving cavity 23 is sprayed out through the nozzle, mixes with air, and is ignited upon encountering an electric spark, producing a flame. Since the mechanical linkage mechanism of the combustion valve 16 is widely used in the lighter industry, this application can directly adopt an existing ignition mechanism. Therefore, the specific structure of the ignition mechanism, as well as its assembly method and structure, will not be described in detail here.
[0037] After releasing the rocker arm 7, the elastic element 13 at the flip cover 4 returns to its original position, pulling the flip cover 4 to close. At the same time, the combustion valve 16 closes, cutting off the gas supply and extinguishing the flame. The feed valve 24 is used to periodically replenish fuel to the receiving cavity 23, ensuring the lighter can be used continuously. The entire process, through precise linkage of the mechanical structure, achieves automated operation of "flip cover 4 - ignition - extinguishing - closing," ensuring both ignition efficiency and safety protection through the closing of the flip cover 4.
