Abstract

A power supply for an electronic cigarette includes a main body, a waterproof and breathable membrane and a pneumatic sensor. The main body is provided with an internal cavity in which the pneumatic sensor is mounted and a mounting part in which the external load is mounted; the mounting part is provided with an airflow passage communicated with the outside and the internal cavity; the waterproof and breathable membrane is mounted in the main body and covers the airflow passage. When the external load is mounted in the mounting part, an air channel inside the external load is communicated with the airflow passage; and when the pneumatic sensor senses that the airflow movement in the airflow passage reaches a preset threshold, the main body is triggered to control the external load.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A power supply for an electronic cigarette, the power supply comprising a main body, a waterproof and breathable membrane and a pneumatic sensor, wherein the main body is provided with an internal cavity in which the pneumatic sensor is mounted and a mounting part in which an external load is mounted, the mounting part is provided with an airflow passage, the airflow passage is communicated with outside and the internal cavity, the waterproof and breathable membrane is mounted in the main body and covers the airflow passage; when the external load is mounted in the mounting part, an air channel inside the external load is communicated with the airflow passage, and when the pneumatic sensor senses that an airflow movement in the airflow passage reaches a preset threshold, the main body is triggered to control the external load.

2. The power supply for an electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein the main body is provided with a mounting groove at a junction of the airflow passage and the outside, the waterproof and breathable membrane is mounted in the mounting groove, and the waterproof and breathable membrane has a thickness greater than or equal to the depth of the mounting groove, so that when the waterproof and breathable membrane is mounted in the mounting groove, the surface of the waterproof and breathable membrane exposed to the outside is even with the notch plane of the mounting groove, or higher than the notch plane of the mounting groove.

3. The power supply for an electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein the waterproof and breathable membrane comprises a substrate having waterproof and breathable property and an anti-wrinkle ring, the anti-wrinkle ring covers the edge of the substrate so that when the substrate is mounted in the main body, the portion of the substrate which is not covered by the anti-wrinkle ring covers the airflow passage and forms a breathable part, and the breathable part is communicated with the airflow passage through an air channel.

4. The power supply for an electronic cigarette according to claim 2 , wherein the waterproof and breathable membrane comprises a substrate having waterproof and breathable property and an anti-wrinkle ring, the anti-wrinkle ring covers the edge of the substrate so that when the substrate is mounted in the main body, the portion of the substrate which is not covered by the anti-wrinkle ring covers the airflow passage and forms a breathable part, and the breathable part is communicated with the airflow passage through an air channel.

5. The power supply for an electronic cigarette according to claim 3 , wherein the waterproof and breathable membrane further comprises an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer is provided on the surface of the substrate far away from the anti-wrinkle ring so that the substrate is adhered to the main body, and the adhesive layer is provided to avoid the breathable part of the substrate; and/or, the substrate has a thickness value of 0.02 mm to 0.11 mm.

6. The power supply for an electronic cigarette according to claim 4 , wherein the waterproof and breathable membrane further comprises an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer is provided on the surface of the substrate far away from the anti-wrinkle ring so that the substrate is adhered to the main body, and the adhesive layer is provided to avoid the breathable part of the substrate; and/or, the substrate has a thickness value of 0.02 mm to 0.11 mm.

7. A power supply for an electronic cigarette, the power supply comprising a main body, a waterproof and breathable membrane and a pneumatic sensor, wherein the main body comprises a housing, a frame and a sealing member; one end of the frame is provided with a mounting part in which an external load is mounted, and the other end thereof and the housing encircle a receiving space, the receiving space is configured for receiving an electronic component;
wherein the mounting part is provided with an airflow passage connecting the receiving space and outside, the sealing member comprises a cover part and an air guiding part connected to the cover part, the cover part is mounted in the receiving space and is provided with an internal cavity configured to receive the pneumatic sensor, and the air guiding part is inserted into the airflow passage so that the airflow passage is communicated with the internal cavity; and
wherein the waterproof and breathable membrane is mounted in the frame and covers the airflow passage.

8. The power supply for an electronic cigarette according to claim 7 , wherein the frame is provided with a mounting groove at a junction of the airflow passage and the outside, the waterproof and breathable membrane is mounted in the mounting groove, and the waterproof and breathable membrane has a thickness greater than or equal to the depth of the mounting groove, so that when the waterproof and breathable membrane is mounted in the mounting groove, the surface of the waterproof and breathable membrane exposed to the outside is even with the notch plane of the mounting groove, or higher than the notch plane of the mounting groove.

9. The power supply for an electronic cigarette according to claim 7 , wherein the waterproof and breathable membrane comprises a substrate having waterproof and breathable property and an anti-wrinkle ring, the anti-wrinkle ring covers the edge of the substrate so that when the substrate is mounted in the main body, the portion of the substrate which is not covered by the anti-wrinkle ring covers the airflow passage and forms a breathable part, and the breathable part is communicated with the airflow passage through an air channel.

10. The power supply for an electronic cigarette according to claim 8 , wherein the waterproof and breathable membrane comprises a substrate having waterproof and breathable property and an anti-wrinkle ring, the anti-wrinkle ring covers the edge of the substrate so that when the substrate is mounted in the main body, the portion of the substrate which is not covered by the anti-wrinkle ring covers the airflow passage and forms a breathable part, and the breathable part is communicated with the airflow passage through an air channel.

11. The power supply for an electronic cigarette according to claim 9 , wherein the waterproof and breathable membrane further comprises an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer is provided on the surface of the substrate far away from the anti-wrinkle ring so that the substrate is adhered to the main body, and the adhesive layer is provided to avoid the breathable part of the substrate; and/or, the substrate has a thickness value of 0.02 mm to 0.11 mm.

12. The power supply for an electronic cigarette according to claim 10 , wherein the waterproof and breathable membrane further comprises an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer is provided on the surface of the substrate far away from the anti-wrinkle ring so that the substrate is adhered to the main body, and the adhesive layer is provided to avoid the breathable part of the substrate; and/or, the substrate has a thickness value of 0.02 mm to 0.11 mm.
