Definitions

  • the disclosure relates to an electronic cigarette.
  • Electronic cigarettes atomize nicotine-containing e-liquid.
  • CN 208510076 U discloses an electronic cigarette including an atomizing device and a power supply device.
  • the atomizing device includes a housing, an atomizing assembly, and a reservoir assembly.
  • the atomizing assembly is coupled to the reservoir assembly and assembled into the housing with the reservoir assembly.
  • a gas passage is formed in the housing.
  • the atomizing assembly includes a fixed tube, a liquid absorbing member, and a heat generating member.
  • the power supply unit includes a housing, a bracket, a gas pressure sensor, and a battery.
  • An electronic cigarette according to the invention comprises an atomization assembly and a battery assembly.
  • the atomization assembly is directly connected to the battery assembly.
  • the atomization assembly comprises a mouthpiece, a glass tube, a first seal ring sealing the glass tube, an atomizer comprising a head and a base, a second seal ring sealing the head, a vent tube, a third seal ring sealing the base of the atomizer, and an atomization core, the atomization core comprising a silica seal, a silica sleeve comprising a vent, a ceramic core, a pedestal, an first insulation ring, a heating tube, and a joint.
  • the first seal ring is disposed in the mouthpiece; the second seal ring is sheathed on the head; the head is disposed on the vent tube; the vent tube is disposed on the base; the third seal ring is sheathed on the base; the ceramic core and the silica sleeve comprising a vent are disposed on the pedestal; the silica seal is disposed on the ceramic core; the first insulation ring is disposed in the pedestal; the heating tube is disposed on the joint; the joint is embedded in the first insulation ring; the atomization core is embedded in the base; the glass tube is sheathed on the base, and the mouthpiece is in threaded connection to the head.
  • the battery assembly comprises an electrode, a second insulation ring coating the electrode, a connector, a cartridge, a silica insulator, a battery core, a silica sleeve, a pneumatic switch, a USB-PCB, and a pedestal.
  • the pneumatic switch comprises positive and negative poles connected to positive and negative poles of an output end of the USB-PCB; the pneumatic switch is disposed in the silica sleeve and connected to positive and negative poles of the battery core; the silica insulator is disposed on the battery core; the battery core is disposed in the cartridge; the second insulation ring is disposed in the connector; the electrode is disposed in the second insulation ring; the connector is fixed on the cartridge; the USB-PCB is disposed in the pedestal; and the pedestal is fixed on a terminal end of the cartridge.
  • the head of the atomizer can comprise a plurality of gear grooves or knurling grooves.
  • the heating tube of the atomization assembly can be directly connected to the joint, and communicates with the mouthpiece and the pneumatic switch of the control plate.
  • the pedestal of the atomization assembly can be in threaded connection to the connector of the battery assembly.
  • an electronic cigarette Z comprises an atomization assembly A and a battery assembly B.
  • the atomization assembly is directly connected to the battery assembly.
  • the atomization assembly A comprises a mouthpiece 1, a glass tube 15, a first seal ring 2 sealing the glass tube, an atomizer comprising a head 4 and a base 8, a second seal ring 3 sealing the head, a vent tube 5, a third seal ring 6 sealing the base of the atomizer, and an atomization core, the atomization core comprising a silica seal 9, a silica sleeve comprising a vent 10, a ceramic core 11, a pedestal 12, a first insulation ring 13, a heating tube 7, and a joint 14.
  • the first seal ring 2 is disposed in the mouthpiece 1; the second seal ring 3 is sheathed on the head 4; the head 4 is disposed on the vent tube 5; the vent tube 5 is disposed on the base 8; the third seal ring 6 is sheathed on the base 8; the ceramic core 11 and the silica sleeve comprising a vent 10 are disposed on the pedestal 12; the silica seal 9 is disposed on the ceramic core 11; the first insulation ring 13 is disposed in the pedestal 12; the heating tube 7 is disposed on the joint 14; the joint 14 is embedded in the first insulation ring 13; the atomization core is embedded in the base 8; the glass tube 15 is sheathed on the base 8, and the mouthpiece 1 is in threaded connection to the head 4.
  • the e-liquid can be injected in the atomizer through the opening of the glass tube 15. Thereafter, the e-liquid penetrates from the inlet of the base 8 of the atomizer into the ceramic core 11. During the penetration, the e-liquid will produce bubbles. The bubbles can release from the gear grooves or knurling grooves thus preventing the blockage of the inlet of the e-liquid.
  • the heating tube 7 of the atomization assembly is directly connected to the joint 14, which means the heating tube is indirectly connected to the positive pole of the ceramic core 11, and communicates with the mouthpiece 1 and the pneumatic switch 23 of the battery assembly.
  • the thermal vapor flow can enter the heating tube to drive the pneumatic switch to work and heat the ceramic core, so that the e-liquid in the atomization assembly is heated to a free state, thus preventing the blockage of the conveying pipe by the condensed e-liquid.
  • the battery assembly comprises an electrode 16, a second insulation ring 17 coating the electrode, a connector 18, a cartridge 19, a silica insulator 20, a battery core 21, a silica sleeve 22, a pneumatic switch 23, a USB-PCB 27, and a pedestal 24.
  • the pneumatic switch 23 comprises positive and negative poles connected to positive and negative poles of an output end of the USB-PCB 27; the pneumatic switch 23 is disposed in the silica sleeve 22 and connected to positive and negative poles of the battery core 21; the silica insulator 20 is disposed on the battery core 21; the battery core 21 is disposed in the cartridge 19; the second insulation ring 17 is disposed in the connector 18; the electrode 16 is disposed in the second insulation ring 17; the connector 18 is fixed on the cartridge 19; the USB-PCB 27 is disposed in the pedestal 24; and the pedestal 24 is fixed on a terminal end of the cartridge 19.
  • the pedestal 12 of the atomization assembly is in threaded connection to the connector 18 of the battery assembly.
  • the electronic cigarette is a three-dimensional cylindrical structure, and is compact and easy to carry.
