Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

[0019] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of this invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] This invention will be further described in conjunction of the figures and embodiments:

[0021] An e-cigarette integrated with functions of grinding, cutting and heating, comprises a case 1, wherein: the case 1 is divided into a smoke control room 2 and a grinding-cutting-heating room 3. The grinding-cutting-heating room 3 is designed as a circle cavity structure, an upper part of which comprises a tobacco grinding-cutting module 31 and a heater 32 and a lower part of which comprises a rotatable ash funnel 33. A hole 331 is set on the bottom of the ash funnel 33 and combined with an air vent 11 located on the bottom of the case 1 to form a smoke ventilating passage. The upper part of the smoke control room 2 comprises a cigarette holder 4, the cigarette holder 4 connects a flexible conduit 42 via a connector 41. The flexible conduit 42 is connected to the grinding-cutting-heating room 3 located on the other side. The lower part of the smoke control room 2 comprises a power source 21, and the power source 21 is connected to a PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) 22 on the same side. The PCBA 22 comprises a function key 221, up/down adjusting keys 222, a LED indicator light, a display screen 223 and a recharging interface 224.

[0022] The tobacco grinding-cutting module 31 comprises an upper reamer 311, a lower reamer 312, a pushrod 313 connected to the upper reamer 311 which is configured to push or rotate the upper reamer 311 to grind and cut the tobacco, a cone-shaped spring 314 sleeved on the lower reamer 312 which is configured to move up and down with the lower reamer 312, and an adjusting screw 315 connected to the lower reamer 312 which is configured to adjust the altitude of the lower reamer 312.

[0023] The rotatable ash funnel 33 can be rotated out, in order to add or clean the tobacco or tobacco ash.

[0024] A transparent sheet is set on the grinding-cutting-heating room 3, which is used to observe the grinding and cutting circumstances and the amount of the tobacco. The cigarette holder 4 is made of glass.

[0025] A method for using the e-cigarette integrated with the functions of grinding, cutting and heating, comprises the steps as follows:

[0026] turning the e-cigarette on: continuously pressing the function key 5 times to turn on the e-cigarette;

[0027] adjusting the temperature for baking the tobacco: after the e-cigarette is powered on for 2.5 seconds, adjusting the temperature for baking the tobacco by the up/down adjusting keys: increasing 1 degree for the temperature by pressing, the up adjusting key once, and decreasing 1 degree for the temperature by pressing the down adjusting key once; increasing/decreasing 1 degree for the temperature every (13 seconds by long pressing the up/down adjusting key;

[0028] starting smoking and stopping smoking: starting smoking by long pressing the function key for 1 second, stopping smoking by long pressing the function key again for another 1 second, at this time the LED indicator light will keep on and the display screen displays the current baking temperature for the tobacco;

[0029] time limit protection for the e-cigarette: once the heating time reaches 10 minutes, the control system of the e-cigarette will sleep automatically and shut down the heat output of the heater;

[0030] low voltage protection for the e-cigarette: if smoking when a battery voltage is lower than 3.3V, an LED backlight will flash 3 times to remind that the e-cigarette needs recharging, and the e-cigarette stop working;

[0031] short-circuit protection for the e-cigarette: entering a protection alerting state once the heater is short out in, the LED backlight will flash 5 times and the heat output of the heater will be shut down;

[0032] turning the e-cigarette off: automatically turning off the e-cigarette after 60 seconds without actions of recharging or smoking.

[0033] When using the e-cigarette, continuously pressing the function key 5 times to turn on the e-cigarette, and then taking out the upper reamer via the pushrod, and then putting the tobacco to the grinding-cutting-heating room, the amount of the put tobacco is subject to exceeding the position of the lower reamer, and then put the upper reamer in the grinding-cutting-heating room, and continually rotating the pushrod and pressing the pushrod in an up-down motion, therefore the tobacco can be completely grinded and cut by the upper reamer and lower reamer, and then the user can start smoking by pressing the function key and holding the glass cigarette holder, after finishing smoking, rotating the ash funnel 90 degree and dumping the tobacco ash. This invention is easy to manipulate, provides double smoking, time than normal cigarette, greatly reduces creation of harmful gas,and decreases the danger of second hand smoke for surrounding people.

[0034] As described above, any corresponding modification made by one of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should be considered as falling within the protection scope of this invention.
