The atomizing assembly 22 includes a heating wire 221, a yellow tube 222, a reservoir cotton 223, and an atomizing seat 224. The heating wire 221 is mounted in the yellow tube 222, and the oil storage 223 is coated on the yellow tube 222. The atomizing seat 224 is mounted on the yellow tube 222 at one end of the power pole 10. The atomizing seat 224 is made of an elastic material such as rubber. The atomizing seat 224 has a function of fixing the yellow tube 222, and also prevents the smoke oil in the atomizing unit 22 from flowing into the power rod 10. The second housing 21 has a cylindrical cylindrical structure, and an end of the upper side of the power supply rod 10 is provided with a suction nozzle and a cleaning nozzle cover 211 for holding the suction nozzle. A seal ring 212 is disposed between the nozzle and the atomizing assembly 22. The seal 212 prevents the smoke in the atomizing assembly 22 from flowing back into the nozzle.

The link mechanism 30 includes a first link 31 and a second link 32. First connector 31 Removably coupled to the atomizer 20, it may include a first connection portion 311 and a first buckle portion 312 that are detachably coupled. The second connector 32 is detachably coupled to the power pole 10, which may include a second connecting portion 321 and a receiving portion 322 that are detachably coupled. The first fastening portion 312 is received and fixed in the receiving portion 322 to achieve a detachable snap connection of the first connecting member 31 and the second connecting member 32. Disassembling the first connecting member 31 and the second connecting member 32 into two separate members respectively makes assembly easy, simple to install, and easy to manufacture. It will be appreciated that the positions of the first connector 31 and the second connector 32 can be exchanged.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, the first fastening portion 312 has a cylindrical shape and is injection molded from plastic, and includes a first portion 3121 and a second portion 3122 which are integrally formed. The first portion 3121 and the second portion 3122 are each in a cylindrical shape. The first portion 3121 and the second portion 3122 are coaxially centered, and the outer diameter of the first portion 3121 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second portion 3122. The first portion 3121 is inserted into the first connecting portion 311, and of course, an interference connection, a magnetic attraction or a screw connection may be used.

A first corner of the first connecting portion 311 away from the first locking portion 312 is provided with a chamfer 3112. The chamfer 3112 allows the first connecting portion 311 to be inserted into the atomizer 20 more easily. The first limit ring 3111 prevents the first connecting portion 311 from entering the atomizer 20 all the way, making the disassembly inconvenient.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the accommodating portion 322 has a cylindrical shape and is injection molded from plastic. The inner diameter of the accommodating portion 322 is matched with the outer diameter of the first fastening portion 312. The inner wall of the accommodating portion 322 is circumferentially disposed with two positioning grooves 3221 for fitting with the convex portion 3123. The accommodating portion 322 Two guiding grooves 3222 respectively for engaging the first fastening portion 312 into the receiving portion 322 are disposed on the side edges. The guiding groove 3222 and the positioning groove 3221 are in communication. When the first latching portion 312 is inserted into the receiving portion 322, the protruding portion 3123 is movable relative to the receiving portion 322 along the guiding slot 3222 and then rotated and fixed in the positioning slot 3221.

Further, the depth L of the guiding groove 3222 in the direction away from the axis line of the accommodating portion 322 is smaller than the thickness of the side wall of the accommodating portion 322, that is, the two guiding grooves 3222 are not penetrated. The side wall of the accommodating portion 322; and the two positioning grooves 3221 each penetrate the side wall of the accommodating portion 322. This makes it more convenient to produce the accommodating portion 322, and has the advantageous effect of facilitating production. In use, the boss 3123 can be squeezed into the guiding groove 3222 by a certain elasticity and then enter the positioning groove 3221. In this way, the snap connection between the first latching portion 312 and the receiving portion 322 is made more stable.

It can be understood that the number of the convex portion 3123 and the positioning groove 3221 is not limited to two, and may be increased or decreased.

The second connecting portion 321 has a cylindrical shape and is made of a conductive metal material. The second connecting portion 321 includes a second insertion tube 3211 and a second sleeve 3212 which are integrally formed. The second insertion tube 3211 is for connecting with the power rod 10, and the second sleeve 3212 is for embedding the receiving portion 322. Inside. The second insertion tube 3211 and the second insertion tube 3211 are coaxially aligned, and the outer diameter of the second insertion tube 3211 is adapted to the inner diameter of the power rod 10 so as to be inserted into the power rod 10. The inner diameter of the second sleeve 3212 is adapted to the outer diameter of the receiving portion 322 such that the receiving portion 322 is interference fit within the second sleeve 3212. One end of the second connecting portion 321 adjacent to the accommodating portion 322 is provided with a second limiting ring 3213 for preventing the second connecting portion 321 from being fully inserted into the battery rod 10, thereby making Not convenient to disassemble.

The first electrode post 14 is placed in the second connector 32. The second electrode post 23 is placed in the first connecting member 31. The first connecting portion 311 is electrically connected to one end of the heating wire 221 of the atomizer 20, and the second electrode post 23 and the other end of the heating wire 221 are electrically connected. The second connecting portion 321 is electrically connected to one electrode of the battery 12, and the first electrode post 14 and the other electrode of the battery 12 are electrically connected. when First connector 31 When the second connecting member 32 is snap-connected, the first connecting portion 311 and the second connecting portion 321 are in contact with each other and electrically connected, and the first electrode post 14 and the second electrode post 23 are abutted and electrically connected. In this manner, the battery 12 can be easily supplied with power to the atomizer 20 and is easily disassembled, which is suitable for use in an electronic cigarette that can be used multiple times.

Of course, it can be understood that the first connecting portion 311 and the second connecting portion 321 can also be made of a non-metal insulating material, so that the other electrode of the battery 12 and the other end of the heating wire 221 need to be directly connected by wires.
