The cigarette set charging part includes a filter holding seat 9 connected to a positive electrode of the cigarette set, wherein an overall structure of the filter holding seat 9 is drum-shaped, and a lower surface of the filter holding seat 9 is matched with the positive electrode cover 1; a charging base 11 connected to a negative electrode of the cigarette set, wherein an overall structure of the charging base 11 is drum-shaped, and a lower surface of the charging base 11 is matched with an upper surface of the negative spring 5; and an insulation fixing sleeve 10 located between the filter holding seat 9 and the charging base 11.


Preferably, the charging spring seat 4 and the negative spring 5 are connected to the PCB 8 by a stannum solder.


Preferably, the positive electrode cover 1 is connected to the positive electrode column 2 through a press riveting.


Preferably, the spring cap 3 is connected to the charging spring seat 4 through a press riveting.


Preferably, the lower portion of the positive electrode cover 1 extends into the spring cap 3, and an inner protrusion edge on an upper portion of the spring cap 3 is matched with an outer protrusion edge on a lower portion of the positive electrode cover 1.


The working principle of the compression charging device of the present invention is as follows.


The charging spring seat 4 and the negative spring 5 of the cigarette case are separated from each other through the charging insulation sleeve 7, and are respectively connected to the positive and negative electrodes. The PCB 8 is respectively connected to the negative spring 5 and the charging spring seat 4 through stannum solder. The filter holding seat 9 of the cigarette set is separated from the charging base 11 through the insulation fixing sleeve 10, and the filter holding seat 9 and the charging base 11 are respectively connected to the positive and negative electrodes.


When the cigarette set is placed into the cigarette case, the cigarette case cover compresses the cigarette set. The filter holding seat 9 of the cigarette set contacts the surface of the positive electrode cover 1 of the cigarette case, and the positive electrode cover 1 is connected to the positive electrode column 2 through the press riveting. The positive electrode column 2 and the positive spring 6 are put into the charging spring seat 4, and connected to the charging spring seat 4 through the spring cap 3 by press riveting. The positive spring 6 is in a compression state, and the positive electrode of the cigarette set is in an electrical connection to the cigarette case. The charging base 11 of the cigarette set contacts and tightly compresses the surface of the negative spring 5, and the negative electrode of the cigarette set is in an electrical connection to the cigarette case, so the cigarette set gets charged.


When the cigarette case is opened, the cigarette set is bounced by the negative spring 6 of the cigarette case, the filter holding seat 9 of the cigarette set is separated from the surface of the positive electrode cover 1, the positive electrode of the cigarette set is not in an electrical connection to the cigarette case, and the cigarette set can be taken out from the cigarette case.


The present invention has the following advantages.


Based on the existing point-contact charging device, a compression charging device for cigarette set to get charged is firstly developed in the present invention. The negative spring and the positive spring have a double function of electrical conduction and bouncing.
