Description

lighter with igniter mechanism

The invention relates to a lighter, in particular to a lighter with an igniter mechanism.

The flame of an ordinary lighter is located at the outlet of the ignition tube at the upper end of the lighter body, and the user can easily use the lighter to light cigarettes by holding the lighter. When used for other ignition purposes, such as lighting gas stoves, craft candles, kerosene lamps, etc. It is inconvenient to use near the ignited object. There has been a lighter with an igniter mechanism, which is provided with a retractable ignition tube, which can lead the flame away from the lighter body, so that the flame can easily approach the ignited object, which is very convenient to use. No. JP-A-10-169980 Japanese Laid-Open Patent discloses a lighter with an igniter mechanism, as shown in Figure 1, this lighter is provided with a length that allows the elongated ignition tube 5 to stretch out from the lighter shell The backguy type telescopic mechanism of this telescoping mechanism is made of upper cable pulley 62, lower cable pulley 61, guide wheel 63, stay cord 64 and ignition tube slide seat 9. The upper wire pulley 62 and the pull wire pulley 61 are respectively rotatably fixed on the inner wall of the lighter casing and the pressing plate slide seat 33, and the guide wheel 63 is also rotatably fixed on the inner wall of the lighter casing. One end 64a of the stay cord 64 is fixed on the inner wall of the housing 1, and the stay cord 64 is wound around the pull wire pulley 61 and then the upper pull pull wire pulley 62, then returns to the pull pull wire pulley 61, and after passing around the pull pull wire pulley 61 for the second time Then go around the upper cable pulley 62, extend to the guide pulley 63 and walk around the guide pulley 63, and fix the other end 64b of the stay rope 64 on the ignition tube slide seat 9. The user holds the lighter and uses the thumb to turn the friction wheel 22 of the ignition device F, and presses the pressing plate 29 to make the gas outlet of the ignition tube 5 ignite the flame, then continues to press the pressing plate 29, and the pressing plate slide seat 33 follows the pressing plate. 29 moves down together, thus drives pull-down wire wheel 61 to move downward, and the distance between two pull-wire pulleys increases with the downward movement of pressing plate slide seat 33, and the ignition tube slide seat 9 that is connected to the other end 64b of stay cord 64 follows It is lifted up, and the ignition tube 5 that forms one with it is just promoted same height, stretches out shell. Because the stay cord walks around the guy wheel twice, the length that the ignition tube stretches out of the shell is about 4 times of the downward stroke of the pressing plate slide. Because the ignition tube leads the flame away from the lighter body, it can easily ignite the to-be-ignited object that is inaccessible to the hand-held lighter.

This kind of lighter with an ignition mechanism can be easily applied to various occasions, but due to the use of a double-wound runner pulley type telescopic mechanism, the structure is relatively complicated and difficult to install, so it is not conducive to large-scale industrial production. Large, the pull rope wears a lot, is easy to break, and has a short service life.

In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a lighter with an igniter mechanism that is simple in structure, easy to assemble and has a long service life.

In order to achieve the above object, the lighter with an igniter mechanism provided by the present invention includes: a casing, a liquefied gas storage chamber, an inflatable mechanism, a gas injection mechanism, an ignition tube telescopic mechanism, a pressing plate operating mechanism, an ignition mechanism and an ignition tube assembly, It is characterized in that the telescopic mechanism of the ignition tube is composed of a rack and pinion, a pulley and a guide belt two-stage transmission mechanism.

Because the two-stage transmission mechanism composed of rack and pinion and pulley guide belt is used to replace the cable-type transmission mechanism of the prior art, the wear of the belt rope is reduced, and the service life is prolonged, and the structure is relatively simplified, making it simple to assemble and easy to install. Form industrial scale production.

As shown in Figure 2, the pressing plate slide seat 503 is slidably supported between the continuous side walls of the housing 101 along the longitudinal direction (the up and down direction in the figure), its cross section is U-shaped, and its shape is similar to that of the housing 101. Coincidentally, the two are slidably fitted through sliding guide rails (not shown). Teeth are formed on the longitudinal edge of at least one side wall of the pressing plate slide seat 503 , forming a longitudinally extending rack 505 , and the rack 505 meshes with the gear 401 of the ignition tube telescoping mechanism 400 . The pressing plate 501 is arranged on the top of the pressing plate sliding seat 503 and is pivotally connected with the pressing plate sliding seat 503 . The pressing plate spring 502 is arranged in the pressing plate slide seat 503, and applies upward elastic force to the pressing plate 501 along the longitudinal direction. One end of the connecting rod 504 abuts against the lower surface of the pressing plate 501 .

The ignition tube telescoping mechanism 400 is composed of a gear 401, a pulley 402, a guide wheel 403 and a guide belt 404, and together with the rack 505 of the pressing plate slide seat 503 of the pressing plate operating mechanism 500, a double-stage pinion rack and pulley guide belt are formed. Transmission telescopic mechanism. The gear 401 and the pulley 402 are integrally formed coaxially. The outer diameter of the pulley 402 is larger than the pitch circle diameter of the gear 401. The ratio between the two determines the telescopic stroke of the ignition tube. The gear 401 is integrally formed on one side or both sides of the pulley 402 in response to the rack 505 on one or both sides of the longitudinal edge of the pressing plate slide 503 so as to engage with the rack 505 correspondingly. The rotating shaft 405 of the pulley and the gear is rotatably supported laterally between the two side walls of the casing 101, and the gear 401 on one side (or both sides) meshes with the rack 505 on one side (or both sides) of the pressing plate slide seat 503, The guide wheel 403 is arranged on the opposite side of the rack 505 relative to the gear 401. The guide wheel 403 is rotatably supported between the two side walls of the housing 101, and its rotation axis is parallel to the rotation axis of the gear.

The helical tension spring 704 is set on the outside of the ignition tube 701, the upper end is pressed against the lower surface of the top plate of the casing 101, and the lower end is pressed against the upper end surface of the ignition tube slide seat 702. Therefore, the helical tension spring 704 always pushes the ignition tube 701 downward. Press the elasticity. The upper port of the ignition tube 701 is a gas outlet, stretches out from the upper surface of the top plate of the housing 101, and its height is flush with the horizontal tangent at the lowest point (flint friction point) of the outer circumference of the friction ratchet 601.

The action of the lighter will be described below.

The user holds the lighter in his hand and usually moves the friction ratchet 601 with his thumb. The friction ratchet 601 rubs against the flint 602 pressed against the lower periphery of the friction ratchet by the pressing spring, and sparks are emitted and shoot to the gas outlet of the ignition tube 701; Press the pressing plate 501, and the pressing plate 501 drives the connecting rod 504, prompting the lever opening and closing mechanism 304 to act, thereby opening the valve plate 301, allowing the liquefied gas in the liquefied gas storage chamber 102 to flow out. , The nozzle 303 sprays into the conduit 703, reaches the upper port of the ignition tube 701, and is ignited when encountering the spark emitted by the ignition mechanism 600, and ejects flames. At this time, you can light the cigarette on your own mouth, or light a cigarette for others.

After igniting the flame, continue to press the pressing plate 501, and the pressing plate 501 overcomes the elastic force of the pressing plate spring 502 and moves downward. The rack 505 meshes with the gear 401 of the ignition tube telescopic mechanism 400, so the gear 401 rotates clockwise (Fig. 2) driven by the rack 505, and the pulley 402 also rotates at the same time, and the guide belt 404 is wound on the belt. On the wheel 402, the other end of the guide belt 404 connected to the ignition tube slide 702 moves upwards with the winding of the guide belt. 703 moves up, makes ignition tube 701 stretch out a certain height of lighter with the flame being ignited. Because the flame at the top of the ignition tube 701 is drawn away from the lighter body, it is easy to ignite the inflamed objects that are inaccessible to the hand-held lighter.

If the pressing plate 501 continues to press the distance H1, the diameter of the pulley 402 is D1, and the pitch circle diameter of the gear 401 is D2, then the stroke length H2=H1×D1/D2 of the upward movement of the ignition tube 701.

When the thumb released the pressing plate 501, the ignition tube 701, the pressing plate 501 and the pressing plate slide seat 502 returned to their original positions under the action of the coil spring 704 and the pressing plate spring 503 simultaneously, and the flame went out simultaneously.

The present invention has been described as illustrative above in terms of embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, for example, it is not only applicable to lighters using flint to ignite, but also applicable to piezoelectric igniting lighters and the like. Moreover, on the premise of not departing from the gist of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various modifications, all of which should fall within the scope of protection outlined in the claims of the present invention.
