Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to an electronic cigarette,
specifically relates to an atomizer switch device in electronic
cigarette.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Electronic cigarette is a cigarette electronic simulation
products, comprising a battery, an atomizer switch and a heating
unit. The atomizer switch mainly includes manual switch and
pneumatic switch, and the manual switch allows users to push first
and then smoke, thus meeting the need of some users.
[0003] At present, all kinds of the electronic cigarette with
manual switch on the market utilize controlling integrated circuits
in an atomizer switch device to control the working of the whole
circuit. As shown in FIG. 1, the atomizer switch device comprises a
key-switch 1 and an integrated circuit, and the working principle
is that: not only the battery and the heating unit but also the
battery and the luminous element are conducted by the integrated
circuit which is controlled by the key-switch 1, but neither the
battery and the heating unit nor the battery and the luminous
element could be conducted by key-switch 1 itself, so there is no
electric current flows through the key-switch 1. Therefore, in this
way the key-switch 1 is of high reliability and could meet the
users' needs to push the switch for thousands of times, which means
that this kind of key-switch can be used all the time. Besides, the
key switch 1 can also be other switches, such as pneumatic switch
and capacitive switch. But this kind of atomizer switch device is
of high cost for the using of integrated circuit.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
Technical Problems
[0004] The purpose of the invention is to overcome the defects of
the prior art, providing a cigarette atomizer switch device which
can meet the needs of users with a lowered cost.
The Technical Solution
[0005] The purpose of the invention could be achieved by utilizing
the following means.
[0006] An atomizer switch device in electronic cigarette is
provided in a disposable electronic cigarette, comprising a
key-switch which is provided on the housing of the disposable
electronic cigarette; wherein, the key-switch directly connected in
series in the current loop comprising a battery and a heating unit.
The current directly flows through such key-switch. Compared with
the case where the integrated circuit is provided, the using times
of the key-switch may decrease, while the key-switch still can be
used for hundreds of times, as such, it can meet the need of
finishing one electronic cigarette. Without the integrated circuit,
the cost is decreased greatly.
[0007] The purpose of the invention also could be achieved by
utilizing the following means.
[0008] The heating unit comprises but not limited to a resistance
wire, a thermal sensitive ceramic or a silicon carbide rod.
[0009] The disposable electronic cigarette further comprises a
luminous element, and the key-switch is directly connected in
series in the current loop comprising the battery and the luminous
element.
[0010] The luminous element comprises but not limited to a LED.
[0011] The LED comprises but not limited to the two following
cases:
[0012] (1) the number of the LED is one; the LED is connected with
the resistance in serials, and the two together are connected with
the heating unit in parallel, with one end of the LED connected to
the battery and the other connected to the key-switch;
[0013] (2) two LEDs connected together in parallel are provided;
wherein, the LEDs are connected with the resistance in serials, and
they together are connected with the heating unit in parallel, with
one end of the LEDs connected to the battery and the other
connected to the key-switch.
[0014] The key-switch comprises but not limited to a spring switch,
a membrane switch, a pressure switch and so on.
[0015] The shape of the disposable electronic cigarette comprises
but not limited to the shapes of a cigarette, a tobacco pipe, a
cigar and a hookah.
Beneficial Effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the invention has the
beneficial effects as followed:
[0017] by utilizing the atomizer switch device, the disposable
electronic cigarette can meet the need of the usage of the switch
for finishing one disposable electronic cigarette, so there is no
need to have an integrated circuit, thus decreasing the cost. But
the atomizer switch with integrated circuit may be still used in
reusable electronic cigarette.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0018] FIG. 1 shows a circuit schematic diagram of the atomizer
switch device in traditional electronic cigarette;
[0019] FIG. 2 shows a circuit schematic diagram of the atomizer
switch device in a disposable electronic cigarette according to an
embodiment of the present invention.
THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION
[0020] As shown in FIG. 2, in the specific embodiments of the
invention, the atomizer switch device in a disposable electronic
cigarette comprises a battery, a key-switch 1, and a heating unit 2
which are electronically connected in turn to form a loop. The
heating unit 2 is connected with a luminous branch in parallel. The
luminous branch comprises two LEDs which are provided on the
cigarette butts part and used to simulate the glowing effect during
smoking Compared with the traditional structure with integrated
circuit therein, in the case of such structure, the using times of
the key-switch 1 may decrease, while the key-switch 1 still can be
used for hundreds of times, as such, it can meet the need of
finishing one electronic cigarette.
The Implemention of the Invention
