摘要： The present disclosure provides a control body adapted for use in an electronic smoking article. The control body includes a shell and a coupler that is adapted to connect the control body to a cartridge of an electronic smoking article. The coupler further is adapted to communicate a pressure reduction within the coupler to a pressure reduction space in the shell. Also positioned within the shell is an electronic circuit board having a pressure sensor attached thereto. The electronic circuit board can be positioned to be parallel to a central axis of the shell. A first end of the pressure sensor can be isolated within the pressure reduction space, and a second end of the pressure sensor can be in communication with a normal pressure space within the shell. One or more light emitting diodes can be attached to the electronic circuit board. At least a portion of the coupler can be light transmissive so that light from the LED is visible through the coupler.

摘要翻译： 本公开提供了适用于电子吸烟制品的控制体。 控制体包括壳体和耦合器，其适于将控制体连接到电子吸烟制品的盒。 联接器还适于将耦合器内的减压传递到壳体中的减压空间。 也位于外壳内的是具有附接到其上的压力传感器的电子电路板。 电子电路板可以被定位成平行于壳体的中心轴线。 压力传感器的第一端可以在减压空间内隔离，并且压力传感器的第二端可以与壳体内的正常压力空间连通。 一个或多个发光二极管可以附接到电子电路板。 耦合器的至少一部分可以是透光的，使得来自LED的光通过耦合器可见。
