Detailed ways

The electronic cigarette involved in the utility model is mainly provided with a light guide column between the light source located at the end and the light transmission part of the lampshade, through the scattering effect of the light guide column, the light generated by the light source can be evenly emitted from the lampshade , in order to achieve the purpose of imitating the realistic effect that the cigarette butt of a traditional cigarette is lit. The structure of the utility model and the principle of work are further elaborated below with specific embodiments:

As shown in FIG. 1 , the electronic cigarette 100 that can simulate the lighting effect of traditional cigarettes in this embodiment includes a tube body 101 for accommodating internal components. The tube body 101 is cylindrical and usually made of metal or plastic. As a result, in general, a sticker is also packaged on the outer surface of the tube body 101. One end of the tube body 101 is provided with a light source 102 and a lampshade 104 through which light can pass. The light source 102 usually adopts an LED lamp. On the controller 105, the side of the controller 105 provided with the LED lamp faces the lampshade 104. The lampshade 104 is made of light-transmitting plastic material, such as PC (polycarbonate), which includes a light-transmitting portion 1041 and an inserting portion 1042 suitable for connecting with the tube body 101, the two are integrally formed, and the inserting portion 1042 and The inner surface of the tube body 101 is adapted, and it is interference fit with the tube body 101 and fixed by dispensing glue.

In one end of the above-mentioned electronic cigarette 100 provided with the lampshade 104, a light guide column 103 made of a light-transmitting material capable of scattering light is also provided. The light guide column 103 has a proximal end 1031 and a distal end 1032 (usually close to the One end of the suction nozzle of the electronic cigarette is defined as the proximal end, and the end away from the suction nozzle is defined as the far end), the light source 102 is close to the proximal end 1031 of the light guide column 103, and the light transmission part 1041 on the lampshade 104 is close to the The distal end 1032 of the light guiding rod 103 . The light emitting source 102 can be aligned with the center of the proximal end 1031 or deviate from the center of the proximal end 1031 , and the light generated by the light emitting source 102 can pass through the light guiding rod 103 and exit the above-mentioned light transmitting portion 1041 . Since the light guide column 103 has a certain volume, the light emitting source 102 is an LED lamp, which is a point light source in terms of visual effect. The light emitted from all directions of the LED is relatively uniform, and it looks like a surface light source from the visual effect. Therefore, based on the above structure, the uniform light emitted from the light transmission part 1041 of the lampshade 104 can more realistically simulate the effect of the cigarette butt being lit, improve the user's smoking experience, prevent the user from choosing to smoke alternately between electronic cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, and shorten the time for smoking cessation. time.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , in order to adapt to the shape of the tube body 101 , the lampshade 104 and the light guide column 103 are roughly designed to be cylindrical. The lampshade 104 includes a bottom with a certain radian and a ring-shaped side, the bottom and a part of the ring-shaped side adjacent to the bottom form a light transmission part 1041, and the wall thickness of the light transmission part 1041 is uniform, which does not affect the uniformity of the light shoot out. The wall thickness of the upper part of the annular side part of the lampshade 104 is relatively thin, which can be inserted into the above-mentioned tube body 101 and fixed thereto. The peripheral tube body 101 is shielded, so light cannot pass through the tube body 101 in this area under normal circumstances. Ember simulation lines 1043 are provided on at least a part of the outer surface of the light transmission portion 1041 , for simulating ash from a burning cigarette when the lampshade 104 is lit. Generally speaking, the ember simulated texture 1043 is provided on the outer surface of the arc-shaped bottom of the lampshade 104 . It can be understood that the outer surface of the light transmitting portion 1041 may also be a glossy surface. The light transmitting part 1041 and the embedding part 1042 jointly define an inner cavity 1044 , and the light guiding rod 103 is disposed in the inner cavity 1044 . Of course, the light guide column 103 can also be directly disposed in the cavity formed by the tube body 101 .

As a preferred solution in this embodiment, the distal end 1032 of the light guide column 103 has a convex arc surface 1034 adapted to the bottom of the inner cavity 1044, and the bottom of the inner cavity 1044 also has a smooth arc surface. The protruding arc surface 1034 on the light column 103 is in close contact with the bottom of the inner cavity 1044 . The near end 1031 of the light guide column 103 has an inner concave arc surface 1033, and the inner concave arc surface 1033 and the convex arc surface 1034 are basically arranged in parallel, so that it can ensure that each point on the far end 1032 and the near end 1031 of the light guide column 103 The axial distance between them is equal to further ensure the uniformity of light transmission of the LED lamp. The light guide column 103 is made of a light-transmitting material that can scatter light. The mechanism of light scattering is determined by the non-uniform microstructure of the light-transmitting material itself; specifically, there are Inhomogeneous small clusters such as small particles, pores or other inclusions, or crystal phase boundaries with different optical properties, such as materials in polycrystalline systems. When the direct light passes through the uneven microstructure, the direct light may deviate from the original direction. As we all know, almost all translucent materials on the market belong to the above-mentioned light-transmitting materials that can scatter light, such as silica gel, PP (polypropylene), PA (polyamide) or other light-transmitting materials that are not very high. These materials can be used to manufacture the light guide column described in this embodiment. Of course, it is also possible to add a light-scattering agent to the original transparent material (such as PC) to make a translucent material with light-scattering effect. In this embodiment, the light guide column 103 is made of silica gel material, and there are irregular gaps between the molecules inside the silica gel material. When the strong light of the LED passes through the light guide column 103, part of the light is absorbed by the silica gel material, which weakens the light. Intensity; another part of the light is scattered when it passes through the irregular gap and spreads around. The appearance of the light guide column 103 made of silica gel is elastic, and the outer diameter of the light guide column 103 is equal to the inner diameter of the side wall in the inner cavity 1044. When the light guide column 103 is placed in the inner cavity 1044, the convex arc surface 1034 and the inner The bottom of the cavity 1044 fits together, and the outer wall 1035 of the light guide column 103 is in close contact with the side wall of the internal cavity 1044. At the same time, the bottom of the internal cavity 1044 and the surface of the side wall should also be kept smooth and round without any edges or ribs And affect the luminous effect.

(not marked), and the side of the circuit board 106 provided with the light source 102 is facing the proximal end 1031 of the light guide bar 103 . It can be seen from FIG. 4 that the light source 102 is not located at the center of the circuit board 106. If the light is directly emitted from the lampshade 104, it will inevitably cause the problem of eccentricity of the light transmission of the lampshade. However, in this embodiment, the light first passes through the light guide column 103 evenly scatters and then penetrates through the lampshade 104, so the above problems will not occur.

Referring to FIG. 5 , it reveals the internal structure of the entire electronic cigarette 100 .

The lampshade 104 and the controller 105 are adjacent to each other and arranged at one end of the tube body 101. The light source 102 is integrated on the controller 105, and the above-mentioned light guide column 103 is arranged between the light source 102 and the light transmission part 1041 of the lampshade 104. . An air intake slot 1045 is opened on the side of the lampshade 104, and the air entering through the intake slot 1045 can reach the airflow sensor on the controller 105 when there is a smoking action. It should be noted that the above-mentioned structure of setting the light guide column at the lampshade end of the electronic cigarette to simulate the simulated lighting effect can be applied to any type of electronic cigarette, and is not limited to the atomization device shown in the figure, and even does not include On the simulated smoking appliance of the atomizing device.
