Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an e-cigarette, more particularly to a vaporizer device of a cotton free e-cigarette.
  • the oil of the e-cigarette is usually stored in the cotton, which produces burning taste during inhalation and is neither environment friendly nor hygienic.
  • the e-cigarette in the prior art has disadvantages that the structure is complex and incompact, and it is prone to oil leakage.
  • EP 2 404 515 A1 discloses an atomizing electronic cigarette having a power device, a sensor, an atomizing core component and a liquid storage component.
  • the cigarette also has a containing shell, an auxiliary air inlet is provided on the shell.
  • the atomizing core component includes an electric heater and a liquid permeating component.
  • the electric heater has a through hole
  • the liquid storage component has a channel
  • the sensor is connected with the through hole and the channel, and forms an airflow loop by the auxiliary air inlet.
  • the liquid permeating component in the atomizing core component of the cigarette is directly sleeved on the electric heater, so that the cigarette can adequately heat gasified smoke with uniform small drops, and the user can accept easily and the smoke can easily enter lung bubble and can be absorbed conveniently.
  • the electric heater and the liquid storage component are connected with the through hole and the channel, so that the smoke generated by atomizing process can be cooled under the push of airflow, and the absorbed smoke meets the taste of smoker.
  • the cigarette has detachable split structure, so that the cigarette can exchange and carry conveniently.
  • CN 102 106 611 A discloses an electronic cigarette, which comprises a hollow atomization rod, a first conducting ring, a second conducting ring, a conduit, a water resisting device and a cigarette holder, wherein the first conducting ring is sleeved at the bottom of the atomization rod and sealed with the atomization rod, the second conducting ring is arranged in the first conducting ring and insulated from the same, the conduit is accommodated in the atomization rod, and the bottom of the conduit is closely contacted with the first conducting ring, the water resisting device is arranged at the top of the atomization rod, and the cigarette holder is also mounted at the top of the atomization rod and accommodates the water resisting device therein.;
  • the inner wall of the atomization rod, the external wall of the conduit, the top of the first conducting ring and the bottom of the water resisting device jointly define a liquid storage chamber for storing cigarette liquid therein.
  • the electronic cigarette provided by the invention is simple in structure
  • EP 2 022 349 A1 discloses an aerosol electronic cigarette includes a battery assembly, an atomizer assembly and a cigarette bottle assembly and also includes a shell which is hollow and integrally formed.
  • the battery assembly connects with the atomizer assembly and both are located in the shell.
  • the cigarette bottle assembly is located in one end of the shell, which is detachable.
  • the cigarette bottle assembly fits with the atomizer assembly.
  • the shell has through-air-inlets.
  • the present invention aims to provide a vaporizer device of a cotton free e-cigarette without cotton and burning taste, not only being environment friendly and hygienic, but also makes smooth oil supply without oil leakage.
  • the present invention provides a technical solution of a vaporizer device of a cotton free e-cigarette, comprising a mouthpiece, an oil cup, a filter component and a heating unit arranged in turn.
  • the vaporizer further comprises a power connect component electrically connected with said heating unit.
  • the oil cup comprises a barrel body having an oil storage chamber in the interior and a gap on the external surface for forming gas flue.
  • the filter component is arranged between the oil cup and the heating unit, and comprises an oil percolation piece and a filter piece fixed to the oil cup.
  • the vaporizer further comprises a holder, on which the heating unit is supported.
  • a storage slot is arranged at the inner side of the mouthpiece.
  • the power connect component comprises annular inner electrode and outer electrode, and an insulating layer is arranged between the inner electrode and the outer electrode.
  • the outer electrode is arranged with screw thread.
  • the vaporizer further comprises a protective tube, within which the oil cup, the filter component and the heating unit are arranged, and the mouthpiece is arranged at the first end of the protective tube and the power connect component is arranged at the second end of the protective tube.
  • the present invention has the following advantages: the oil of cotton free e-cigarette vaporizer is stored in the oil cup directly instead of being stored by cotton, so burning taste resulted from the burning of the cotton can be avoided during inhalation and thereby improving the taste. Besides, since the cotton free e-cigarette vaporizer is cotton free, it is environment friendly and hygienic, and it has no burning taste and has smooth oil supply.
  • an e-cigarette vaporizer of the present invention comprises a mouthpiece 10, an oil cup 30, a filter component 40 and a heating unit 50 arranged in turn, and the vaporizer further comprises a power connect component 60 electrically connected with the heating unit 50.
  • external power supply is inserted into the power connect component 60 and supplies power to the heating unit 50, thereby allowing the oil flowing from the oil cup 30 to pass through the filter component 40 and to be atomized.
  • the filter component 40 comprises an oil percolation piece 42 and a filter piece 41, wherein the filter piece 41 is fixed to the oil cup 30, prevented from falling off easily or oil leak.
  • the oil is stored in the oil cup 30 directly instead of being stored by cotton, so burning taste resulted from the burning of the cotton can be avoided during inhalation and thereby improving the taste.
  • the cotton free e-cigarette vaporizer is cotton free, it is environment friendly and hygienic.
  • the oil cup 30 comprises a barrel body 32 having an oil storage chamber in the interior and a gap on the external surface for forming gas flue.
  • the oil flows out from the oil cup via the filter component 40, generates vapor under the function of the heating unit 50, and the generated vapor flows to the mouthpiece 10 via a gas flue.
  • the power-connect component 60 comprises annular inner electrode 64 and outer electrode 61, and an insulating layer 63 is arranged between the inner electrode 64 and the outer electrode 61.
  • the outer electrode 61 is arranged with screw thread 62. In this way, the nesting arrangement of the inner electrode 64 and the outer electrode 61 may form the power-connect component 60. In using, people only need to insert the plug of the external power supply into the inner electrode 64 and connect the plug of the external power supply with the outer electrode 61 via screw thread 62, thereby preventing from the poor contact when supplying power.
  • the vaporizer further comprises a holder 70, on which the heating unit 50 is supported.
  • the holder 70 is made of food grade silicon which is heat-resistant, thereby preventing the oil cup from being burned and resulting burning taste when the temperature gets too high.
  • the vaporizer further comprises a protective tube 20, within which the oil cup 30, filter component 40 and heating unit 50 are arranged, and the mouthpiece 10 is arranged at the first end of the protective tube 20 while the power connect component 60 is arranged at the second end of the protective tube 20.
  • the protective tube 20 is used for protecting the internal components of the vaporizer well.
  • a storage slot 11 is arranged at the inner side of said mouthpiece 10 so as to collect and store the filth produced during inhalation whereby bringing better hygiene.
