The electronic cigarette vaping device 10 includes a sleeve 11, a heating structure 12 installed at one end of the sleeve 11, and a movable member 13 detachably connected to one end of the sleeve 11 adjacent to the heating structure 12.
Refer to FIGs. 2-6, the sleeve 11 is substantially cylindrical. The sleeve 11 includes a main body 111 arranged in the axial direction of the sleeve 11 and a mounting portion 112 located at one end of the main body 111 adjacent to of the heating structure 12. In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the mounting portion 112 is smaller than the outer diameter of the main body 111. The mounting portion 112 includes a reserved section 1121 connected with the main body 111, and a sliding section 1122 configured for connecting with the movable member 13. In this embodiment, one end of the sleeve 11 facing the movable member 13 is defined as the connecting end of the sleeve 11. The sliding section 1122 and the reserved section 1121 are integrally formed. An external thread section 1123 is provided on the sliding section 1122 along a circumferential direction of the sliding section 1122. The outer surface of the sliding section 1122 is provided with at least one sliding groove 1124 extending along the axial direction of the mounting portion 112 and running through the external thread section 1123. In this embodiment, there are four sliding grooves 1124, and the four sliding grooves 1124 are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the sliding section 1122 along the circumferential direction of the sliding section 1122.
The heating structure 12 is at least partially protruded out from the connecting end of the sleeve 11. In this embodiment, the heating structure 12 includes a mounting frame 121 installed on the inner surface of the sliding section 1122 and a heating member 122 protruding from the mounting frame 121 in a direction away from the sleeve 11. The heating member 122 is at least partially protruded out from the connecting end of the sleeve 11. Specifically, the mounting frame 121 is installed at one end of the sleeve 11 adjacent to the movable member 13. More specifically, the mounting frame 121 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of one end of the sliding section 1122 adjacent to the movable member 13. It can be understood that, in other embodiments not shown, the sleeve 11 is substantially columnar or cylindrical, the heating structure 12 includes a heating member 122, and the heating member 122 is connected to the sleeve 11 and at least partially protrudes out from the connecting end of the sleeve 11. In order to improve the efficiency of heat conduction between the heating member 122 and the tobacco product 20, the shape of the heating member 122 is so designed that the heating member 122 has a relatively large specific surface area. In this embodiment, the heating member 122 is in the shape of a sheet. It is understood that, in other embodiments not shown, the heating member 122 may also be in a columnar shape or the like that is convenient for placing into the tobacco product 20.
The movable member 13 has two open ends. The inner surface of the movable member 13 is provided with a limiting plate 131. The limiting plate 131 divides the inner cavity of the movable member 13 into a connecting chamber 1312 used for receiving the mounting portion 112 and an atomizing chamber 1313 used for placing the tobacco product 20. The inner diameter of the connecting chamber 1312 of the movable member 13 is greater than the outer diameter of the mounting portion 112. The limiting plate 131 is provided with a limiting hole 1311 corresponding to the shape of the heating member 122. It can be understood that, in other embodiments not shown, the limiting plate 131 is not provided on the inner surface of the movable member 13. When the limiting plate 131 is omitted, the movable member 13 has two open ends, and the inner cavity of the movable member 13 is configured for receiving the mounting portion 112 and placing the tobacco product 20 at the same time. In this case, the inner wall of the movable member 13 can be provided with a protrusion 135 for abutting against the tobacco product 20. When the movable member 13 and the sleeve 11 are separated, since the protrusion 135 of the movable member 13 abuts against the tobacco product 20, the tobacco product 20 can be taken out from the heating member 122.
An internal thread section 132 corresponding to the external thread section 1123 is provided on the inner surface of one end of the movable member 13 adjacent to the sleeve 11 along a circumferential direction of the movable member 13. In this embodiment, one end of the movable member 13 facing the sleeve 11 is defined as the connecting end of the movable member 13. Along the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, at least one positioning rib 133 corresponding to the sliding groove 1124 is protruded from the inner wall of the movable member 13 at one side of the internal thread section 132 away from the sleeve 11. At least one positioning rib 133 corresponding to the sliding groove 1124 is protruded from the inner wall of the movable member 13 between the internal thread section 132 and the limiting plate 131. In this embodiment, there are four positioning ribs 133, and the four positioning ribs 133 are evenly distributed on the inner surface of the movable member 13 along the circumferential direction of the movable member 13.
The inner wall of the movable member 13 between the internal thread section 132 and the positioning rib 133 is provided with a receiving groove 134 along the circumferential direction of the movable member 13. The inner diameter of the receiving groove 134 is greater than the inner diameter of the internal thread section 132 and the outer diameter of the external thread section 1123. In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the receiving groove 134 is the same as the inner diameter of the connecting chamber 1312 of the movable member 13. When the movable member 13 is installed onto the mounting portion 112, the receiving groove 134 is used to, after the internal thread section 132 is screwed to the bottom of the external thread section 1123, avoid the external thread section 1123 from interfering with the positioning rib 133 to make it difficult for the positioning rib 133 to align with the sliding groove 1124 and enter into the sliding groove 1124. The term "bottom" as used herein refers to the end of each part of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10 that is away from the movable member 13 in the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10.
By providing the receiving groove 134, when the internal thread section 132 is gradually screwed to the bottom of the external thread section 1123, the external thread section 1123 gradually enters into the receiving groove 134. When the internal thread section 132 is completely screwed to the bottom of the external thread section 1123, the threaded engagement between the internal thread section 132 and the external thread section 1123 is released, and the external thread section 1123 is completely received in the receiving groove 134, thereby providing a space for the positioning rib 133 to align with the sliding groove 1124. After the positioning rib 133 is aligned with the sliding groove 1124, the protruded positioning rib 133 gradually slides into the corresponding sliding groove 1124. At this time, since the inner diameter of the connecting chamber 1312 of the movable member 13 is greater than the outer diameter of the mounting portion 112, the inner surface of the movable member 13 will not contact the outer surface of the external thread section 1123 during the sliding process.
Before the positioning rib 133 slides into the sliding groove 1124, the heating member 122 does not extend into the limiting hole 1311. When the protruded positioning rib 133 gradually slides into the corresponding sliding groove 1124, the heating member 122 gradually extends through the limiting hole 1311. When the positioning rib 133 completely slides into the sliding groove 1124, the heating member 122 completely extends through the limiting hole 1311, and at this time, the heating member 122 is exposed to the maximal extent, which is convenient for the user to place the tobacco product 20 on the heating member 122 firmly.
When the movable member 13 is gradually separated from the mounting portion 112, the positioning rib 133 gradually separates from the sliding groove 1124, and the external thread section 1123 gradually enters into the receiving groove 134. When the positioning rib 133 is completely separated from the sliding groove 1124, the heating member 122 retracts from the limiting hole 1311, the external thread section 1123 is completely received in the receiving groove 134, and at this time, the internal thread section 132 can be gradually screwed to the top of the external thread section 1123, so that the movable member 13 is separated from the mounting portion 112. The term "top" as used herein refers to the end of each part of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10 that is away from the sleeve 11 in the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10.
By providing the receiving groove 134, it is ensured that before the positioning rib 133 is completely separated from the sliding groove 1124, the internal thread section 132 and the external thread section 1123 will not contact with each other, to prevent that when the internal thread section 132 is in contact with the external thread section 1123, a portion of the positioning rib 133 is still located in the corresponding sliding groove 1124, the positioning rib 133 cannot be further separated from the sliding groove 1124, and the portion of the positioning rib 133 located in the corresponding sliding groove 1124 interferes with the rotation of the internal thread section 132 along the external thread section 1123, so that the movable member 13 cannot be separated from the mounting portion 112.
In the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the reserved section 1121 is not less than the length between the bottom of the movable member 13 and the bottom of the positioning rib 133, so that the positioning rib 133 can slide in the sliding groove 1124 to the maximal extent. In this embodiment, the internal thread section 132 is provided at the bottom of the movable member 13. In the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the reserved section 1121 is not less than the sum of the length of the internal thread section 132 and the length of the receiving groove 134.
In the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the sliding groove 1124 is not less than the length between the bottom of the positioning rib 133 and the bottom of the limiting plate 131, so that the heating member 122 can pass through the limiting hole 1311 to the maximal extent and the heating member 122 is exposed to the maximal extent. In this embodiment, the top of the positioning rib 133 and the bottom of the limiting plate 131 are at the same position. In the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the sliding groove 1124 is not less than the length of the positioning rib 133. It can be understood that, in the case that the limiting plate 131 is not provided, in the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the sliding groove 1124 is not less than the length of the positioning rib 133, so that the positioning rib 133 does not affect the insertion of the tobacco product 20.
In the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the receiving groove 134 is greater than the length between the top of the sleeve 11 and the bottom of the external thread section 1123. When the internal thread section 132 is gradually screwed to the bottom of the external thread section 1123, the external thread section 1123 gradually enters into the receiving groove 134. When the internal thread section 132 is completely screwed to the bottom of the external thread section 1123, the threaded engagement between the internal thread section 132 and the external thread section 1123 is released, and the external thread section 1123 is completely received in the receiving groove 134, thereby providing a space for the positioning rib 133 to align with the sliding groove 1124. After the positioning rib 133 is aligned with the sliding groove 1124, the protruded positioning rib 133 gradually slides into the corresponding sliding groove 1124. It is prevented that when the internal thread section 132 is screwed to the bottom of the external thread section 1123, a portion of the positioning rib 133 is still located in the corresponding sliding groove 1124, the positioning rib 133 cannot be further separated from the sliding groove 1124, and the portion of the positioning rib 133 located in the corresponding sliding groove 1124 interferes with the rotation of the internal thread section 132 along the external thread section 1123, so that the movable member 13 cannot be separated from the sleeve 11.
When the positioning rib 133 slides into the sliding groove 1124, in the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length from the connecting end of the sleeve 11 to the bottom of the limiting plate 131 is not less than the length from the connecting end of the sleeve 11 to one end of the heating member 122 away from the connecting end of the sleeve 11.
In this embodiment, in the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length from the bottom of the positioning rib 133 to the bottom of the limiting plate 131 is not less than the length from the top of the sleeve 11 to the top of the heating member 122, so that before the positioning rib 133 is separated from the sliding groove 1124, the heating member 122 is already completely retracted from the limiting hole 1311, to prevent that when the movable member 13 rotates relative to the sleeve 11, the heating member 122 is damaged due to not being completely retracted from the limiting hole 1311. Specifically, the bottom of the heating member 122 and the top of the sleeve 11 are at the same position, the top of the positioning rib 133 and the bottom of the limiting plate 131 are at the same position. In the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the positioning rib 133 is not less than the length of the heating member 122. It can be understood that, in the case that the limiting plate 131 is not provided, in the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the sliding groove 1124 is not less than the length of the positioning rib 133, so that the positioning rib 133 does not affect the insertion of the tobacco product 20.
In use, the tobacco product 20 is placed on the heating member 122, the heating member 122 heats and atomizes the tobacco product 20 to form smoke.
Installation process: when the user needs to install the movable member 13 on the sleeve 11, the internal thread section 132 of the movable member 13 is gradually screwed to the bottom of the external thread section 1123, and the external thread section 1123 gradually enters into the receiving groove 134; when the internal thread section 132 is completely screwed to the bottom of the external thread section 1123, the external thread section 1123 is completely received in the receiving groove 134, and at this time, the positioning rib 133 is caused to align with the corresponding sliding groove 1124; after the positioning rib 133 is aligned with the sliding groove 1124, the protruded positioning rib 133 gradually slides into the corresponding sliding groove 1124. Before the positioning rib 133 slides into the corresponding sliding groove 1124, the heating member 122 does not extend into the limiting hole 1311; since the inner diameter of the movable member 13 is greater than the outer diameter of the mounting portion 112, the inner surface of the movable member 13 will not contact the outer surface of the external thread section 1123 during the sliding process, and the heating member 122 gradually passes through the limiting hole 1311; when the positioning rib 133 completely slides into the sliding groove 1124, the heating member 122 completely passes through the limiting hole 1311, so that the heating member 122 is exposed to the maximal extent, and the user can firmly put the tobacco product 20 on the heating member 122 located in the atomizing chamber 1313.
In use: when the user needs to separate the tobacco product 20 from the heating member 122, the movable member 13 slides along the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10 in a direction the direction away from the sleeve 11, the positioning rib 133 gradually separates from the sliding groove 1124, the external thread section 1123 gradually enters into the receiving groove 134; at this time, the heating member 122 gradually retracts from the limiting hole 1311, and the tobacco product 20 on the heating member 122 gradually resists the top surface of the limiting plate 131. When the positioning rib 133 completely separates from the sliding groove 1124 and the external thread section 1123 is completely received in the receiving groove 134, the heating member 122 is completely retracted from the limiting hole 1311, the limiting plate 131 separates the tobacco product 20 and the heating member 122, the tobacco product 20 is separated from the heating member 122, and the tobacco product 20 can be taken out of the atomizing chamber 1313. When the user needs to clean the dirt on the heating member 122, the internal thread section 132 is screwed gradually to the top of the external thread section 1123, so that the movable member 13 is gradually separated from the mounting portion 112; at this time, since the movable member 13 is arranged outside the heating member 122, the movable member 13 can prevent the heating member 122 from being damaged when the heating member 122 is gradually exposed to the outside after retracting from the limiting hole 1311. When the heating member 122 is completely exposed to the outside, the user can clean the dirt on the heating member 122 and the scraps of the tobacco product 20 at the bottom of the heating member 122.
In the electronic cigarette vaping device 10 of the present disclosure or the electronic cigarette using the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the movable member 13 is detachably connected to one end of the sleeve 11 adjacent to the heating structure 12, the mounting frame 121 is mounted on one end of the sleeve 11, the heating member 122 is protruded from one end of the mounting frame 121 away from the sleeve 11, the limiting plate 131 is provided on the inner surface of the movable member 13, the limiting plate 131 is provided with a limiting hole 1311 corresponding to the heating member 122. When the movable member 13 is connected to the sleeve 11, the tobacco product 20 can be placed on the heating member 122 passing through the limiting hole 1311. When it is required to take out the tobacco product 20 located in the movable member 13, the movable member 13 is caused to slide, when the heating member 122 retracts from the limiting hole 1311, the tobacco product 20 resists on the limiting plate 131 and is separated from the heating member 122. Then, the heating member 122 is taken out from the movable member 13, the movable member 13 maintains a connection relationship with the sleeve 11. The movable member 13 prevents the heating member 122 from being damaged when the heating member 122 is exposed to the outside. For the user's normal need to take out the tobacco product 20 and prevent damage to the heating member, the user only needs to slide the movable member 13, which is a low-risk routine operation. When it is required to clean the heating member 122 and the scraps of the tobacco product 20 at the bottom of the heating member 122, the movable member 13 is further rotated until it is completely separated from the sleeve 11, the heating member 122 and the bottom of the heating member 122 are at least partially exposed to the outside; at this time, it is convenient for the user to clean the heating member 122 and the scraps of the tobacco product 20 at the bottom of the heating member 122. In addition to the normal need to take out the tobacco product 20, for users who want to try to expose the heating member 122 so as to directly clean the heating member 122 and the scraps of the tobacco product 20 at the bottom of the heating member 122, the user needs to further rotate the movable member 13 on the basis of sliding the movable member 13 until the movable member 13 is completely separated from the sleeve 11. The two-step operation of sliding the movable member 13 and further rotating the movable member 13 not only provides the user with the possibility of cleaning the heating member 122 and the scraps of the tobacco product 20 at the bottom of the heating member 122, but also increases the difficulty of the user to expose the heating member 122, increasing the difficulty of the operation can be used as a warning to the user that the operation of exposing the heating member 122 may cause the heating member 122 to be damaged.
