ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of electronics cigarette, and more particularly to a novel electronic cigarette.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Conventionally, while an electronic cigarette is in use, media such as metal materials will be in contact with e-liquid, and that the e-liquid would likely be contaminated thereby affecting the taste of the e-liquid.

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by at least some aspects of the present invention is to provide a novel electronic cigarette to overcome the drawbacks of existing arts.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by at least some aspects of the present invention to solve such technical problem includes:

[0005] To build an electronic cigarette that includes a mouthpiece, a mouthpiece connector, a glass liquid pipe, a connecting rod and a vaporizing element; the vaporizing element includes a heating body and a liquid-guiding medium covering an outer side of the heating body; the connecting rod is passed through the glass liquid pipe, a mounting groove is disposed at a lower end of the connecting rod, and an upper end of the connecting rod is screwed with the mouthpiece connector;
the connecting rod is made of ceramic material and is hollow inside; an inner wall of the mounting groove has a plurality of liquid-guiding holes formed thereon that are capable of guiding e-liquid to the liquid guiding medium; and the mouthpiece and the mouthpiece connector are screwed together.

[0006] The electronic cigarette according to at least one aspect of the present invention, in which a heating element of the heating body is a heating wire, and a lower end of the heating wire and the liquid-guiding medium has a heating wire silicone pad.

[0007] The electronic cigarette according to at least one aspect of the present invention, in which a screw member is disposed underneath the heating wire silicone pad.

[0008] The electronic cigarette according to at least one aspect of the present invention, in which the heating body further includes an electrode disposed at a lower end of the mounting groove, and an insulating coil enclosing the electrode.

[0009] The electronic cigarette according to at least one aspect of the present invention, in which the liquid-guiding medium is a non-woven fabric.

[0010] The electronic cigarette according to at least one aspect of the present invention, in which a heat-resisting insulating tube covering the electrode is disposed underneath the heating wire silicone pad.

[0011] The electronic cigarette according to at least one aspect of the present invention, in which a glass sealant silicone is disposed at where the upper end of the screw member is in contact with the glass liquid pipe.

[0012] The electronic cigarette according to at least one aspect of the present invention, in which a first sealant is disposed at where the connecting rod is connected with the mouthpiece connector.

[0013] The electronic cigarette according to at least one aspect of the present invention, in which a second sealant is disposed at where the mouthpiece is connected with the mouthpiece connector.

[0014] The main advantage of at least some aspects of the present invention is that because the connecting rod is made of ceramic material, and the screw member connecting the connecting rod and the mouthpiece connector is also made of ceramic material, contaminations to e-liquid from metal materials can be prevented, and thereby keeping e-liquid pure.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions, certain example embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with the accompanying drawings and examples. The drawings in the following description are only a part of the example embodiments of the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art can also obtain other drawings based on these drawings without additional efforts.

[0016] Fig.1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an electronic cigarette according to an embodiment of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS

[0017] In order to emphasize the purpose, technical solution, and benefits of at least some example embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments illustrated below will be described clear and completely with the technical solution adopted. It would be obvious that the described embodiments are only part, not all, , of the possible embodiments under the present invention.

[0018] An example embodiment of the present invention is shown in Fig. 1 and includes a mouthpiece 1, a mouthpiece connector 2, a glass liquid pipe 3, a connecting rod 4, and a vaporizing element 5; the vaporizing element 5 includes a heating body 51, and a liquid-guiding medium 52 covering an outer side of the heating body 51; the connecting rod 4 is passed through the glass liquid pipe 3, a mounting groove 41 is disposed at a lower end of the connecting rod 4, and an upper end of the connecting rod 4 is screwed with the mouthpiece connector 2;
the connecting rod 4 is made of ceramic and is hollow inside; an inner wall of the mounting groove 41 has a plurality of liquid-guiding holes 42 formed thereon that are capable of guiding e-liquid to the liquid guiding medium 52; the mouthpiece 1 and the mouthpiece connector 2 are screwed together. By guiding the e-liquid through the liquid-guiding holes 42 to the liquid-guiding medium 52, and finally guiding the e-liquid to the heating body 51 by the liquid-guiding medium 52, contacts between the e-liquid and other structures can be avoided, thereby preventing contamination and ensuring the taste of e-liquid.

[0019] As shown in Fig. 1, the heating element of the heating body 51 is a heating wire 511, and a heating wire silicone pad 53 is disposed at a lower end of the liquid-guiding medium 52 and the heating wire 511, in which the heating wire and the liquid-guiding medium 52 are fixed together.

[0020] As shown in Fig. 1, a screw member 54 is disposed underneath the heating wire silicone pad 53, and the heating wire silicone pad 53 is fixed by the screw member 54.

[0021] As shown in Fig. 1, the heating body 51 further includes an electrode disposed at a lower end of the mounting groove 41, and an insulating coil 513 enclosing the electrode. While the electrode 512 is electrified, the heating wire 511 will heat up and thereby vaporizing e-liquid.

[0022] As shown in Fig. 1, the liquid-guiding medium 52 is a non-woven fabric having a number of micropores, and easy to replace. The liquid-guiding medium 52 does not contaminate the e-liquid.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 1, a heat-resisting insulating tube 55 covering the electrode is disposed underneath the heating wire silicone pad 53, so that the electrode can be protected therewith.
.. [0024] As shown in Fig. 1, a glass sealant silicone 56 is disposed at where the upper end of the screw member 54 is in contact with the glass liquid pipe 3, so as to prevent liquid leakage.
[0025] As shown in Fig. 1, a first sealant 43 is disposed at where the connecting rod 4 is connected with the mouthpiece connector 2 so as to prevent liquid leakage.

[0026] As shown in Fig. 1, a second sealant 11 is disposed at where the mouthpiece 1 is connected with the mouthpiece connector 2 in order to prevent liquid leakage.
[0027] It is contemplated that any part of any aspect or embodiment discussed in this specification can be implemented or combined with any part of any other aspect or embodiment discussed in this specification.
[0028] While the above description provides examples of the embodiments, it will be appreciated that some features and/or functions of the described embodiments are susceptible to modification without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Accordingly, what has been described above has been intended to be illustrated non-limiting.
