Hereinafter, the operation principle of the electronic cigarette including the above-described configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the user rotates the cartridge unit 2 while the power is not connected and the solution is not supplied, the protrusion of the cartridge 2 The jaw 213 also descends to open the solution inflow path S1 so that the solution A can flow into the smoke generating section 3 through the solution inflow hole 35. [ When the operating member 43 of the switch unit 4 is pressed, the lower end thereof contacts the conductor pin accommodating unit 13 and power is supplied to the smoke generating unit 3. When the operating member 43 of the switch unit 4 is pressed, not only the power source is connected but also the lower end of the air inflow path 44 is opened, so that the external air flows through the air inflow path 44, Can be introduced into the housing (11). 7, when the user sucks and sucks the suction and discharge portion 22 of the cartridge portion 2, the pressure in the smoke generating portion 3 is lowered so that the solution A flows into the solution inflow path S1 And the solution inflow hole 35 to be introduced into the smoke generating section 3 and absorbed by the solution absorbing member 36. The solution is vaporized by the heating member 37 to become a smoke, Passes through the air inflow path 44, the first air inflow hole 132 of the conductor pin receiving portion 13 and the second air inflow hole 33 of the smoke generating portion 3 in order, 3, so that the smoke and the air flow into the smoke guide part 5.

The smoke guide part 5 removes the liquid component from the smoke generated from the smoke generating part 3. The smoke sucked in the smoke guide part 5 moves upward and the upper part 51 And then discharged through the smoke discharge hole 53. As the smoke strikes the upper side portion 51, a vortex is generated and the pressure and the speed are reduced. The smoke is vortexed and collides with the inner surface of the upper part 51 and the outer part 52 several times to increase the contact area and the pressure and the speed decrease to make the contact time with the upper part 51 longer, At this time, the liquid component contained in the smoke is formed in the housing 11 and separated from the smoke.

The smoke discharged through the smoke discharging holes 53 collides with the rubbing protrusions 54 and is discharged through the discharging recesses 221. When the smoke hits the rubbing protrusions 54, Pressure and speed are reduced. The smoke is vortexed and strikes the friction protrusions 54 several times to increase the contact area, and the pressure and the velocity are reduced, so that the contact time with the friction protrusions 54 is prolonged, The component is formed inside the friction protrusion 54 and separated from the smoke.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, Should be interpreted as falling within the scope of.
