## Abstract

A touch battery has a short contact member, an insulating ring, an intermediate threaded connector, a PCBA control panel, a touch member, a tail membrane, a battery pole having a battery provided therein, and a tobacco rod. The battery supplies input power for the PCBA control panel. The PCBA control panel is electrically connected to the short contact member and the touch member, respectively. The battery pole is disposed in the tobacco rod. The tobacco rod is connected to the short contact member via the intermediate threaded connector. The short contact member is disposed inside the intermediate threaded connector via the insulating ring. The tail membrane is connected to the touch member. The battery is allowed to output normally in a constant-voltage touch manner, so that the conventional manual output with keys is avoided, and the demands of consumers for multiple selections are met.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A touch battery, comprising a short contact member (11), an insulating ring (12), an intermediate threaded connector (13), a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) control panel (15), a capacitive touch member (17) activated by touch of a user, a tail membrane (18), a battery pole (19) having a battery provided therein and interposed between the PCBA control panel and the intermediate threaded connector, and a tobacco rod (20), wherein the battery supplies input power for the PCBA control panel (15), the PCBA control panel (15) is electrically connected to the short contact member (11) and the capacitive touch member (17), respectively; the battery (19) is disposed in the tobacco rod (20), the tobacco rod (20) is connected to the short contact member (11) via the intermediate threaded connector (13), the short contact member (11) is disposed inside the intermediate threaded connector (13) via the insulating ring (12), and the tail membrane (18) is connected to the capacitive touch member (17), wherein the touch battery further comprises a securing ring (16), the capacitive touch member (17) being disposed in the middle of the securing ring (16), and the tail membrane (18) being disposed on the bottom of the securing ring (16).
