Description

Cartridge, smoking set, electronic cigarette and cartridge use condition radio frequency reading method TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of electronic cigarettes, and particularly relates to a cartridge, a smoking set, an electronic cigarette and a cartridge use condition radio frequency reading method. BACKGROUND

[0002] An electronic cigarette is an electronic product that imitates a cigarette and has the same appearance, smoke, taste and feeling as a cigarette. At present, many electronic cigarettes simulate traditional cigarettes that are smoked by users by using a heating circuit to heat and atomize tobacco-flavored oil. The working principle is that when a flow sensor in the electronic cigarette senses the inhalation of a user, the flow sensor switch is continuously triggered to turn on the heating circuit in the electronic cigarette during the inhalation time of the user. The heating circuit is turned on to atomize the oil.

[0003] A cartridge and a battery rod are key accessories of an electronic cigarette. The cartridge is internally provided with an oil tank, a heating unit and a conductive electrode. When selling cartridges, manufacturers usually preinstall oil in the cartridges. The cartridges are also preinstalled with information such as the taste, capacity, shelf life and working conditions of the oil. The information is usually marked on the packaging of the cartridges or in the instruction manual of the cartridges. This has a disadvantage that when a user purchases a cartridge and uses it on a battery rod, the electronic cigarette cannot identify the information in the cartridge. A customized single-chip module is used to collect the information, which leads to high cost.

[0041] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present disclosure, the present disclosure will be described more fully below with reference to the related drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings. However, the present disclosure can be implemented in many different forms, and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present disclosure more thorough and comprehensive.

[0042] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed" to another element, it can be directly on the other element or there can be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there can be an intervening element. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right", and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be the only implementation.

[0043] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this disclosure. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0044] This disclosure relates to a tobacco cartridge. In one embodiment, the tobacco cartridge includes a mouthpiece and a connector connected to the mouthpiece. The tobacco cartridge also includes an radio frequency (RF) chip. The outer wall of the connector has a chip mounting area, which is isolated from the cartridge's oil reservoir and atomizing chamber via the outer wall of the connector. The RF chip is mounted within the chip mounting area. The connector is inserted into a tobacco device, and the RF chip corresponds to the tobacco device's RF reader. By providing an RF chip on the outer wall of the tobacco cartridge, after the cartridge is connected to the tobacco device, the RF chip and RF reader are aligned, activating the RF reader's reading function. This allows the RF reader to read the various usage status information of the tobacco cartridge stored on the RF chip, eliminating the need for a microcontroller and effectively reducing production costs.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of a cigarette cartridge according to an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0046] One embodiment of the cartridge 10 includes a mouthpiece 100 and a connector 200 connected to the mouthpiece 100. The cartridge 10 also includes an radio frequency (RF) chip 300. The outer wall of the connector 200 has a chip mounting area 210, which is isolated from the cartridge's oil reservoir and atomizing chamber via the outer wall of the connector 200. The RF chip 300 is mounted within the chip mounting area 210. The connector 200 is used to insert into a smoking device, and the RF chip 300 corresponds to the RF reader of the smoking device.

[0047] In this embodiment, by setting an RF chip 300 on the outer wall of the cartridge, after the cartridge is connected to the device, the RF chip 300 is aligned with the RF reader to activate the reading function of the RF reader. This allows the RF reader to read the various usage condition information of the cartridge stored on the RF chip 300, eliminating the need for a microcontroller to read the information and effectively reducing production costs.

[0048] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1, a chip pre-embedded groove 202 is formed on the outer wall of the insertion part 200. The chip pre-embedded groove 202 is used to form the chip mounting area 210, and the radio frequency chip 300 is pre-embedded in the chip pre-embedded groove 202. In this embodiment, the chip pre-embedded groove 202 is located on the insertion part 200, and the groove opening of the chip pre-embedded groove 202 faces away from the outer wall of the insertion part 200, that is, the chip pre-embedded groove 202 is formed on the lower outer wall of the cartridge. The chip pre-embedded groove 202 corresponds to the chip mounting area 210, which has a groove structure. The chip pre-embedded groove 202 is used to accommodate the radio frequency chip 300, so that the radio frequency chip 300 is installed and fixed in the chip pre-embedded groove 202, which facilitates the embedding of the radio frequency chip 300 into the cartridge, thereby facilitating the direct reading of the information in the radio frequency chip 300 by the radio frequency reader after the cartridge and the device are assembled.

[0049] Furthermore, the thickness of the radio frequency chip 300 is less than or equal to the depth of the chip pre-embedded groove 202. In this embodiment, the radio frequency chip 300 corresponds to the chip pre-embedded groove 202, that is, at least a portion of the radio frequency chip 300 is disposed within the chip pre-embedded groove 202. The fact that the thickness of the radio frequency chip 300 is less than or equal to the depth of the chip pre-embedded groove 202 indicates that the radio frequency chip 300 is completely disposed within the chip pre-embedded groove 202, so that the radio frequency chip 300 is embedded in the outer wall of the cartridge, thereby preventing the radio frequency chip 300 from being impacted when the cartridge is assembled with the smoking device, and thus extending the service life of the radio frequency chip 300.

[0050] In another embodiment, the cartridge further includes a cover that covers the chip pre-embedded groove. In this embodiment, the cover is located on the outer wall of the cartridge and corresponds to the chip pre-embedded groove. The cover blocks the opening of the chip pre-embedded groove, sealing it and thus sealing the radio frequency chip within the groove, preventing collision between the radio frequency chip and the device.

[0051] Furthermore, the projection of the cover on the connector is located within the chip pre-embedded groove. In this embodiment, the cover is correspondingly disposed to the chip pre-embedded groove, and the projection of the cover on the connector is located within the chip pre-embedded groove, indicating that the cover covers part of the chip pre-embedded groove. Since the cover is located on the RF chip, it is sufficient to block the exposed part of the RF chip, thus facilitating the safe protection of the RF chip within the chip pre-embedded groove.

[0052] In another embodiment, the area of ​​the cover is greater than or equal to the opening area of ​​the chip pre-embedded recess. In this embodiment, the cover is correspondingly arranged with the chip pre-embedded recess, and the area of ​​the cover is greater than or equal to the opening area of ​​the chip pre-embedded recess, indicating that the cover completely covers the chip pre-embedded recess, thereby covering the exposed part of the radio frequency chip and further reducing the probability of contact between the radio frequency chip and the smoking device.

[0053] In one embodiment, the thickness of the radio frequency chip 300 is greater than the depth of the chip pre-embedded groove 202, and the outer wall of the plug-in portion 200 accommodates the protruding exposed portion of the radio frequency chip 300 between it and the smoking device. In this embodiment, the radio frequency chip 300 is located within the chip pre-embedded groove 202, and the thickness of the radio frequency chip 300 is greater than the depth of the chip pre-embedded groove 202, indicating that part of the radio frequency chip 300 is located within the chip pre-embedded groove 202, while another part of the radio frequency chip 300 is exposed outside the chip pre-embedded groove 202. The protruding exposed portion of the radio frequency chip 300 is located between the outer wall of the plug-in portion 200 and the smoking device, creating a gap between the radio frequency chip 300 and the smoking device. During the assembly of the tobacco cartridge and the smoking device, there is also an assembly gap between the radio frequency chip 300 and the smoking device, effectively preventing the radio frequency chip 300 from being damaged by impact.

[0054] Furthermore, the cover is located between the radio frequency chip and the smoking device, and the cover isolates the protruding exposed portion of the radio frequency chip from the smoking device. In this embodiment, the cover is disposed on the protruding exposed portion of the radio frequency chip, and the cover separates the radio frequency chip and the smoking device from each other, thereby further reducing the probability of collision between the radio frequency chip 300 and the smoking device.

[0055] In one embodiment, the radio frequency (RF) chip 300 protrudes from the outer wall of the connector 200. In this embodiment, the RF chip 300 protrudes beyond the outer wall of the connector 200, that is, the RF chip 300 protrudes from the surface of the cartridge. Specifically, the RF chip 300 is bonded to the outer wall of the connector 200. The thickness of the RF chip 300 is less than the distance between the outer wall of the connector 200 and the smoking device to avoid damage to the RF chip 300.

[0056] In one embodiment, this disclosure relates to a smoking device. Please refer to Figures 2 and 3 together. The smoking device 20 includes: a battery housing 400 and an RFID reader 500; the battery housing 400 has a battery accommodating cavity 402 for accommodating a battery, and the battery housing 400 also has a cartridge accommodating hole 404 communicating with the battery accommodating cavity 402 for accommodating a cartridge insertion portion 200; the RFID reader 500 is disposed in the battery accommodating cavity 402, and the RFID reader 500 corresponds to an RFID chip 300 on the insertion portion 200. The output terminal of the RFID reader 500 is used to connect to the cartridge identification sampling terminal of the smoking device's central control unit.

[0057] In this embodiment, the radio frequency reader 500 is disposed inside the battery casing 400. When the cartridge is assembled into the cartridge receiving hole 404, the radio frequency reader 500 is directly opposite the radio frequency chip 300. At this time, the radio frequency reader 500 triggers the reading function to read the information in the radio frequency chip 300 in a timely manner, so that the current usage information of the cartridge can be read quickly.

[0058] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3, the battery casing 400 also has a directional anti-foolproof notch 406, which is used for the installation orientation of the RF chip 300. In this embodiment, the directional anti-foolproof notch 406 is located on the battery casing 400. The directional anti-foolproof notch 406 serves as an installation orientation identification port for the cartridge, facilitating the adjustment of the cartridge's placement posture according to the position of the directional anti-foolproof notch 406 during assembly with the smoking device. This facilitates the installation orientation of the RF chip 300, and further facilitates aligning the RF chip 300 with the RF reader 500 inside the battery casing 400.

[0059] Furthermore, the directional anti-foolproof stop 406 is located on the side of the battery casing 400 opposite to the cartridge. In this embodiment, the directional anti-foolproof stop 406 is formed at the assembly starting position of the battery casing 400. Specifically, the directional anti-foolproof stop 406 communicates with the cartridge receiving hole 404, and is positioned opposite to the RF reader 500. During the installation of the cartridge, the placement of the cartridge is adjusted so that the RF chip 300 is symmetrically positioned with the directional anti-foolproof stop 406, thereby aligning the RF chip 300 with and bringing it close to the RF reader 500, thus improving the accuracy of the RF reader 500 in reading information from the RF chip 300.

[0060] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2, the smoking device 20 further includes an air intake regulator 600, which is disposed within the battery housing 402. The air intake control port of the air intake regulator 600 communicates with the air intake hole of the tobacco cartridge. In this embodiment, the air intake regulator 600 serves as an air intake adjustment device for the tobacco cartridge, used to adjust the air intake volume of the tobacco cartridge to control the amount of smoke produced. The battery casing 400 has a through hole connecting it to the outside, allowing the air intake regulator 600 to introduce a specified flow rate of air into the tobacco cartridge through the through hole.

[0061] Further, referring to Figure 2, the smoking device 20 also includes an air intake adjustment dial 700. The battery housing 400 has a first through hole 408 communicating with the battery accommodating cavity 402. The air intake adjustment dial 700 is rotatably inserted into the first through hole 408 and is connected to the air intake volume control shaft of the air intake regulator 600. In this embodiment, the air intake adjustment dial 700 serves as a switch for adjusting the air volume of the air intake regulator 600. By moving the air intake adjustment dial 700, the airflow through the air intake regulator 600 is changed, thereby making the amount of gas entering the tobacco cartridge variable. Moreover, part of the air intake adjustment dial 700 is located outside the first through hole 408, that is, part of the air intake adjustment dial 700 is located outside the smoking device, which facilitates manual rotation of the air intake adjustment dial 700 to adjust the air intake volume of the tobacco cartridge.

[0062] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4, the smoking device 20 further includes a display screen 800 connected to the battery casing 400. The input terminal of the display screen 800 is connected to the display output terminal of the smoking device's central control unit. In this embodiment, the display screen 800 is disposed on the battery casing 400 and electrically connected to the smoking device's central control unit. The display screen 800 is used to display relevant information about the e-liquid cartridge, such as the origin, ingredients, and flavor of the e-liquid within the cartridge, and may also display the current number of puffs remaining for the cartridge. Thus, the digital display on the display screen 800 facilitates a detailed demonstration of the e-liquid cartridge's usage.

[0063] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2, the smoking device 20 further includes a blood oxygen sensor button 900. The battery housing 400 has a second through hole 401 communicating with the battery accommodating cavity 402. The blood oxygen sensor button 900 passes through the second through hole 401 and is connected to the blood oxygen detection terminal of the smoking device's central control unit. In this embodiment, the blood oxygen sensor button 900 is disposed in the second through hole 401 on the battery housing 400. The blood oxygen sensor button 900 is used to control the blood oxygen detection of the user of the smoking device. By pressing the blood oxygen sensor button 900, the blood oxygen test of the user of the smoking device can be easily initiated.

[0064] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2, the smoking device 20 further includes a battery button 910. The battery housing 400 has a third through hole 403 communicating with the battery receiving cavity 402. The battery button 910 passes through the third through hole 403 and is used to connect to the battery power supply switch. In this embodiment, the battery button 910 is disposed in the third through hole 403 on the battery housing 400. The battery button 910 serves as a power supply switch for the battery inside the smoking device. By pressing the battery button 910, power is supplied to the central control unit of the smoking device and the tobacco cartridge, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the smoking device and the tobacco cartridge.

[0065] In one embodiment, please refer to FIG5. This disclosure also relates to an electronic cigarette 30, including a cartridge 10 and a smoking device 20 using any of the above embodiments, wherein the cartridge 10 and the smoking device 20 are snapped together.

[0066] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6, this disclosure also relates to a radio frequency reading method for the use of a cigarette cartridge, the method comprising the following steps:

[0067] S100: The radio frequency sensing intensity of the sampling cartridge, wherein the radio frequency sensing intensity is the radio frequency signal intensity of the radio frequency chip 300 on the cartridge sensed by the radio frequency reader 500 inside the smoking device.

[0068] In this embodiment, the radio frequency sensing intensity is the radio frequency signal intensity emitted by the radio frequency chip 300 on the cartridge. That is, the radio frequency sensing intensity corresponds to the current sensing intensity of the radio frequency chip 300 on the cartridge. By collecting the radio frequency sensing intensity through the radio frequency reader 500 in the smoking device, it is convenient to sense and detect the assembly status of the cartridge and the smoking device, thereby making it easier to determine the current assembly mode of the cartridge.

[0069] S200: Detect whether the radio frequency sensing intensity is greater than or equal to the preset sensing intensity.

[0070] In this embodiment, the preset sensing intensity is the standard radio frequency signal intensity emitted by the radio frequency chip 300 after the tobacco cartridge and the smoking device are assembled. That is, the preset sensing intensity corresponds to the radio frequency sensing intensity of the radio frequency chip 300 on the tobacco cartridge in the assembled state.

[0071] S300: When the radio frequency sensing intensity is greater than or equal to the preset sensing intensity, the reading function of the radio frequency reader 500 is activated, and the usage status data of the e-cigarette cartridge in the radio frequency chip 300 is read.

[0072] In this embodiment, the radio frequency sensing intensity being greater than or equal to the preset sensing intensity indicates that the radio frequency signal strength sensed by the radio frequency reader 500 inside the smoking device has reached a specified intensity. This indicates that the radio frequency reader 500 inside the smoking device is aligned with the radio frequency chip 300 of the cartridge, meaning that the cartridge has been assembled with the smoking device. Thus, after the cartridge is assembled with the smoking device, sampling of the current usage status of the cartridge is triggered. At this time, the reading function of the radio frequency reader 500 inside the smoking device is activated to collect data on the various operating states of the cartridge within the radio frequency chip 300 for traceability and anti-counterfeiting purposes. For example, the cartridge usage status data includes at least one of the following: the origin of the e-liquid, the e-liquid composition, and the e-liquid flavor. Alternatively, the cartridge usage status data includes the remaining number of puffs that can be taken from the cartridge.

[0073] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this disclosure, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this disclosure, and these all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
