BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONIn general, a battery of the electronic cigarette supplies power to an atomizer when the battery is run out, the battery is charged by the fixed power source. But when the user is in the outside or in the filed, it is unable to connect the battery to the fixed power source to be charged for the reason that it is hard to find a fixed power source or lack of a suitable charger, making the using process of the electronic cigarette inconvenient.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe object of the present invention is to provide an electronic cigarette comprising a manual charger which can be used at any time anywhere, solving the problem that it is inconvenient to get charged.
In order to realize the object mentioned above, an electronic cigarette is provided, including an atomizer, and further including a connector as well as a charger which is electrically connected to the atomizer by the connector; the charger is a manual charger for providing power to the atomizer though the connector.
A power generation device is defined inside the charger, including a manual lever part, a transmission system and a generator. The transmission system is connected to the generator and the manual lever respectively;
-
- the motion of the manual lever part drives the transmission system to rotate , which further makes the rotor of the generator rotate, finally transforms the mechanical energy to electrical energy.
The connector comprises a cigar pipe and a connecting wire in external connection to the cigar pipe.
A circuit board and a power module is defined inside the charger, the power module is connected to the generator and the circuit board respectively, the power module is used to store the electrical energy generated by the generator; the circuit board is also connected to the connecting wire, and the circuit board as well as the connector is used to transmit the electrical energy stored in the power module to the atomizer. A circuit board is defined inside the charger and a power module is defined inside the connector. The generator is connected to the circuit board and the power module is also connected to the circuit board through the connecting wire; the circuit board and the connecting wire is used to transmit the electrical energy generated by the generator to the power module, and then store the electrical energy through the power module.
The atomizer and the connector are in screwed connection.
By adopting the electronic cigarette of the present embodiment, following benefits can be achieved:
By setting a manual charger in the electronic cigarette, it is able to charge the electronic cigarette at any time and anywhere even in the situation that it is lack of normal charging supply or a charger, improving the convenience of using the electronic cigarette.
In order to understand the technical features, purpose and the effect of the present invention more clearly, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described referring to the drawings.
Referring to
In specific, the manual charger 3 can be a charger of hand cranking type as well as a hand grip type.
Optimally, the atomizer 1 and the connector 2 are in screwed connection. But the connecting way between the atomizer 1 and the connector 2 can be interference fit, buckle connection and the wedge action.
The connector 2 includes a cigar pipe 21 and a connecting wire 22 which is in external connection to the cigar pipe 21. The connecting wire 22 and the cigar pipe 21 are made as a whole. As it knows, the cigar pipe 21 and the connecting wire 22 can be also dismantled, by setting a power port on the cigar pipe 21 as well as a first plug suitable for the power port on the corresponding end of the connecting wire 22. By inserting the first plug into the power port, the cigar pipe 21 and the connecting wire 22 is connected to each other.
A power generation device is defined inside the charger 3, which includes a manual lever part 311, a transmission system 312 and a generator 313. The transmission system 312 is connected to the generator 313 and the manual lever part 311 respectively; the motion of the manual lever part 311 drives the transmission system 312 to rotate, which further makes the rotor of the generator rotate, finally transforms the mechanical energy to electrical energy.
In the first embodiment, referring to
Referring to the
Referring to
In the two embodiments mentioned above, the connecting way between the circuit board 32 and the connecting wire 22 can be the same. In specific, referring to
In specific, when it refers to the first embodiment represented in
When it refers to the second embodiment represented in
By adopting the electronic cigarette of the present embodiment, wherein, the power module 33 is inside the connector as well as that the cigar pipe 21 and connector 22 can be dismantled. When the smoking time is short, take off the connecting wire 22 and it becomes convenient to carry; when the smoking time is long as well as that it is hard to get the fixed power source, it is easy to charge the power module 33 by connecting the connecting wire 22 on the cigar pipe 21. By setting manual charger in the electronic cigarette, the charger can be charged at any time and anywhere, which is convenient to get charged when the battery of the electronic cigarette is run off, thus extending the using time of the electronic cigarette and being convenient.
While the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted without departing from the scope of the present invention. But all the changes will be included within the scope of the appended claims.
