具体实施方式
以下结合具体实施例和说明书附图对本发明做进一步详细说明。
图1至图4示出了本发明一些实施例中的电子烟1 ,其可包括筒状壳体10 、烟嘴盖20 、端盖30 、雾化组件安装座 40 、雾化组件50 、储液件60 、电源组件70 、空气开关 80 以及发光元件90 。
烟嘴盖20和端盖30分别封盖于筒状壳体10 的两端部,雾化组件安装座 40 、雾化组件 50 、储液件 60 以及电源组件 70 均位于该筒状壳体 10 内部。其中,雾化组件安装座 40 设置于筒状壳体 10 内的中部位置。雾化组件 50 设置于雾化组件安装座 40 上,并介于雾化组件安装座 40 和烟嘴盖 20 之间。储液件 60 设置于雾化组件安装座 40上,并包裹在雾化组件 50 外围。电源组件 70 设置于雾化组件安装座 40 和端盖 30 之间,并与雾化组件 50 电性连接。空气开关80设置于端盖 30内,发光元件90安装于空气开关80上,空气开关80及发光元件 90 均与电源组件70电性连接。
筒状壳体10 在一些实施例中可呈圆筒状,并采用软性塑胶等材料制成,使得使用者施加一定大小的径向力时能够发生弹性变形,以模拟真实香烟的触感。可以理解地,筒状壳体 10 根据需要也可以呈椭圆筒状或其他筒状构造,并也可以采用钢铁等硬质材料制成。
如图 5 及图 6 所示,烟嘴盖 20 在一些实施例中可采用诸如硅胶等弹性材料制做而成,其可包括柱状本体 21 以及分别连接于柱状本体 21 的环墙 23 、导引环 25 和凸缘 27 。该柱状本体 21 的直径略大于筒状壳体 10 对应端部的孔径,以便烟嘴盖 20 能够通过过盈配合的方式紧密地嵌置于筒状壳体 10 的端部中,防止烟液经过烟嘴盖 20 与筒状壳体 10 之间的配合间隙往外渗漏。
柱状本体 21 在一些实施例中可包括内端面 211 、与该内端面 211 相背的外端面 212 以及由内端面 211 贯穿至外端面 212 的中心通孔 210 ,该中心通孔 210 可供雾化组件 50 产生的烟雾由筒状壳体 10 内部流出到外界。环墙 23 立设于柱状本体 21 的内端面 211 上,并环绕中心通孔 210 ,使得烟液从烟嘴盖 20 的内端面 211 周缘流动到中心通孔 210 的距离被大幅度拉长,从而能够显著地降低烟液从中心通孔 210 漏出的概率。
在一些实施例中,为了进一步提升烟嘴盖 20 与筒状壳体 10 配合处的密封性,还可在烟嘴盖 20 的柱状本体 21 的外侧壁面上沿周向形成一道环槽 214 ,该环槽 214 可用于收容从筒状壳体 10 内壁面与柱状本体 21 的侧壁面之间的配合间隙渗入的烟液。并且,根据由于液体表面张力的存在,该环槽 214 的设置大幅度提高了烟液朝向筒状壳体 10 对应端端面方向渗透的阻力,从而能够显著地降低烟液从该处渗漏的概率。可以理解地,该环槽 214 的数量并不局限于一道,其也可以为间隔设置的两道或两道以上。
导引环 25 由柱状本体 21 的内端面周缘朝向靠近雾化组件 50 的方向伸出,亦即导引环 25 立设于柱状本体 21 的内端面周缘。导引环 25 的前端包括有一个圆锥形导引面。该导引环 25 的存在,除了方便烟嘴盖 20 的安装外,还可以增加烟液从筒状壳体 10 侧壁面流动到中心通孔 210 的路径,从而提高烟液通过中心通孔 210 渗出的难度。
在一些实施例中,凸缘 27 可由本体 21 的外端的侧壁面径向向外伸出,该凸缘 27 的外径与筒状壳体 10 的相应端部的外径相当,使得烟嘴盖 20 嵌置于筒状壳体 10 时,凸缘 27 与筒状壳体 10 的对应端面相抵接(如图 3 及图 4 所示)。凸缘 27 一个方面可以防止烟嘴盖 20 伸入到筒状壳体 10 中过多,另一个方面可以方便烟嘴盖 20 的取出。
如图 7 及图 8 所示,端盖 30 在一些实施例中可采用硬质塑料一体注塑成型,端盖 30 可包括底壁 31 以及结合于该底壁 31 上的筒状侧壁 33 。底壁 31 用于将筒状壳体 10 的对应端部封闭,筒状侧壁 33 用于紧密嵌入到筒状壳体 10 的对应端部中,从而将端盖 30 与筒状壳体 10 的对应端部相结合。
底壁 31 上设有通孔 313 以及入气口 314 ,通孔 313 贯通该底壁 31 ,从而将端盖 30 内部与外部连通,以供气体通过该通孔 313 进入端盖 30 内部;入气口 314 位于底壁 31 的外壁面上,以供气体通过该入气口 314 进入筒状壳体 10 内。在一些实施例,底壁 31 可包括环缘 311 以及结合于该环缘 311 上的盖板 312 ,通孔 313 和入气口 314 均设置在该环缘 311 上。环缘 311 的外径与筒状壳体 10 的对应端部的外径相当,以便端盖 30 嵌置于筒状壳体 10 的对应端部时,该环缘 311 与筒状壳体 10 的对应端部的端面相抵。盖板 312 优选地至少部分区域可透光,以便发光元件 90 发出光线能够经过透光区域透射出去,模拟真实烟火的效果。通过可透光区域设置,使得该盖板 312 包括透光部,该透光部可为盖板上部分区域,也可盖板上的全部区域。为使得盖板 312 经透光更为真实地模拟烟火效果且更美观,盖板 312 以球面形设置。
在一些实施例中,筒状侧壁 33 上设有贯通该筒状侧壁 33 的内壁面和外壁面的走线缺口 334 ,如图 23 所示,空气开关 80 的电气导线 81 可穿过走线缺口 334 与电源组件 70 连接。筒状侧壁 33 的外壁面上还设有自该外壁面端面向底壁 31 方向延伸的外导气槽 335 ,该外导气槽 335 与入气口 314 相连通,以供气体依次通过入气口 314 和外导气槽 335 进入到筒状壳体 10 内带走烟雾。
筒状侧壁 33 在一些实施例中还可设有台阶 330 ,台阶位于筒状侧壁 33 的内壁面上,空气开关 80 在端盖 30 内设置在该台阶 330 上,发光元件 90 设置于空气开关 80 朝向底壁 31 的一侧上。底壁 31 上的通孔 313 将端盖 30 内部的安装空气开关 80 的台阶 330 以下的区域与外界连通,从而使得空气开关 80 带有发光元件 90 的一侧的气压与大气压保持一致;而且,通孔 313 的入气还可在端盖 30 的台阶 330 以下的区域产生一定的气压触发空气开关 80 ,使用方便。
再如图 7 及图 8 所示,筒状侧壁 33 在一些实施例中可呈阶梯轴状,其包括外径较大的第一段 331 、外径较小的第二段 333 以及将第一段 331 和第二段 333 过渡连接的过渡段 332 。第一段 331 结合于底壁 31 的环缘 311 上,其外径略大于筒状壳体 10 的对应端部的内径,但小于筒状壳体 10 的对应端部的外径,以便于与筒状壳体 10 的对应端部过盈配合。第二段 333 的外径略小于筒状壳体 10 的对应端部的内径,其可与过渡段 332 一道可以起到导引筒状侧壁 33 安装的作用。
台阶 330 在一些实施例中可形成于过渡段 332 与第二段 333 交界的位置,在该位置上既可以提升空气开关 80 的支撑强度,又不妨碍端盖 30 的安装。走线缺口 334 从第一段 331 的端面一直延伸至底壁 31 ,用于供与空气开关 80 相连接的电气导线 81 穿置。外导气槽 335 从第一段 331 的端面一直延伸至底壁 31 ,并与底壁 31 的入气口 314 相连通,以令外界空气能够依序经由入气口 314 、外导气槽 335 进入到筒状壳体 10 内部。筒状侧壁 33 在一些实施例中还可设有内导气槽 336 ,该内导气槽 336 位于筒状侧壁 33 的内壁面上。该内导气槽 336 从第一段 331 的端面一直延伸至底壁 31 ,并与底壁 31 的通孔 313 相连通,以便部分空气能够经由通孔 313 进入筒状壳体 10 内部。
如图 9 及图 10 所示,雾化组件安装座 40 在一些实施例中可包括用于与筒状壳体 10 的内壁面相结合的软质本体 41 ,以及用于安装雾化组件 50 的硬质支座 43 。该软质本体 41 中部形成有一个第一中心通孔 410 ,以供硬质支座 43 嵌置于其中。该雾化组件安装座 40 采用软质本体 41 和硬质支座 43 的搭配,一方面通过软质本体 41 对其上下两侧空间进行较好地密封隔离,另一个方面通过硬质支座 43 对雾化组件 50 提供较好地支撑。
该软质本体 41 在一些实施例可呈柱状,并可采用橡胶等软质材料制成。该软质本体 41 包括一个上端面 411 、一个与该上端面 411 相背的下端面 412 以及将上端面 412 和下端面 412 相连接的侧壁面 413 。该第一中心通孔 410 由该上端面 411 一直延伸至该下端面 412 ,且其内壁面形成有至少两道间隔布置的环形凸起 4101 (如图 12 所示),这些环形凸起 4101 用于在硬质支座 43 的第二嵌入部 433 嵌置于该第一中心通孔 410 时,与该第二嵌入部 433 的侧壁面相紧密抵接,提升两者之间的密封效果。该上端面 411 的中部向下凹陷形成有一个收容部 4110 ,该收容部 4110 优选地呈柱状,且与该软质本体 41 共轴。
一同参阅图 11 ,该软质本体 41 的下端面 412 内凹形成有若干个导槽 4120 ,这些导槽 4120 围绕第一中心通孔 410 呈放射状均匀分布。每一导槽 4120 均由侧壁面 413 横向贯通至第一中心通孔 410 ,以方便空气进入该第一中心通孔 410 。
在一些实施例中,下端面 412 还可以进一步内凹形成若干容置槽 4122 ,这些容置槽 4122 可以用来收容胶水,亦即这些容置槽 4122 可以用来作为点胶槽,其数量可以与导槽 4120 的数量相等,并一一对应导槽 4120 相交设置,这些容置槽 4122 与软质本体 41 的轴线的距离相当。优选地,每一容置槽 4122 的深度均大于对应导槽 4120 的深度。容置槽 4122 在一些实施例中优选地可呈腰形,且与对应的导槽 4120 呈相交布置。优选地,容置槽 4122 与对应的导槽 4120 呈垂直相交布置。容置槽4122的数量优选地为两个以上,以分别对应雾化组件50的正负极导线531(如图17中所示)。
再如图 11 所示,下端面 412 还可以进一步围绕第一中心通孔 410 内凹形成一个环形台阶 4123 ,该环形台阶 4123 用于与硬质支座 43 的第二嵌入部 433 的限位部 4330 (如图 13 所示)相配合,将软质本体 41 与硬质支座 43 锁死。优选地,该环形台阶 4123 的表面与导槽 4120 的槽底表面齐平。
一同参阅图 12 ,该软质本体 41 在一些实施例中还可包括若干个槽孔 414 ,槽孔 414 由上端面 411 向下端面 412 方向延伸,从而槽孔 414 底部和下端面 412 之间形成有挡壁 415 。这些槽孔 414 的数量与容置槽 4122 的数量相等,且与这些容置槽 4122 一一对应设置。槽孔 414 由上端面 411 朝向对应的容置槽 4122 的底面延伸。优选地,每一槽孔 414 均为盲孔,并由收容部 4110 的底面朝向对应的容置槽 4122 的底面延伸,使得槽孔 414 与对应的容置槽 4122 之间形成一层薄薄的挡壁 415 。如图 17 所示,该挡壁 415 可被雾化组件 50 的导线 531 刺透(如图 17 所示),以便该导线 531 能够与电源组件 70 电性连接。挡壁 415 上被导线 531 刺透的位置形成有穿刺孔 416 。被导线 531 刺透的挡壁 415 对应的容置槽 4122 可被点入胶水,对导线 531 进行固定。可以理解地,由于软质本体 41 采用硅胶等弹性材料制成,因此,当导线 531 穿透挡壁 415 时,导线 531 在挡壁 415 上形成的穿刺孔 416 是可收缩的小孔。导线 531 处于该穿刺孔 416 中时,会被该穿刺孔 416 的侧壁箍紧,从而达到密封的效果。另外,该挡壁 415 的设置,还可以避免胶水往槽孔 414 中溢流,一方面可只需较少的胶量即可固定导线 531 ,另一方面可以避免胶水通过槽孔 414 污染烟液。
槽孔 414 的数量在一些实施例优选地为两个或两个以上,以至少供雾化组件 50 的正负极导线 531 分别穿置。当硬质支座 43 具有定位柱 435 时,槽孔 414 的数量相应的增加,例如,在图示的实施例中,该槽孔 414 的数量为四个。此时,由于一些槽孔 414 需要供导线 531 穿置、一些槽孔 414 需要供定位柱 435 穿置,槽孔 414 围绕第一中心通孔 410 均匀布置就显得尤为重要,以便任意槽孔 414 均可以作为该导线 531 和该定位柱 435 的穿置孔。也就是说,可以不需要将槽孔 41 预先指定为导线 531 和定位柱 435 的专用穿置孔,为整个电子烟 1 的组装带来了诸多便利。
再如图 12 、 17 所示,每一槽孔 414 优选地呈柱状,并包括孔径较大的第一孔段 4141 、孔径较小的第二孔段 4143 以及将第一孔段 4141 和第二孔段 4143 过渡连接的过渡孔段 4142 ;挡壁 415 形成在该第二孔段 4143 和容置槽 4122 之间。第一孔段 4141 的孔径优选地与硬质支座 43 的定位柱 435 的直径相当,或略小于该定位柱 435 的直径,该第一孔段 4141 的长度大于或等于该定位柱 435 伸入到该槽孔 414 中的长度。该第二孔段 4143 的孔径小于第一孔段 4141 的孔径,以减小挡壁 415 的面积,相应地可以提升挡壁 415 的弹性力,因此,当导线 531 穿透挡壁 415 时,导线 531 所受到的箍紧力更大,从而具有更好的密封效果。过渡孔段 4142 优选地呈圆锥台状,以导引导线 531 去穿刺挡壁 415 。
再如图 10 至图 12 所示,软质本体 41 的侧壁面 413 在一些实施例中还径向向外凸设有若干个环形凸起 4130 ,每一环形凸起 4130 均沿着侧壁面 413 的周向上布置,相邻环形凸起 4130 之间形成有间隔,使得整个侧壁面 413 呈波浪状(如图 12 所示)。每一环形凸起 4130 的最大外径均大于筒状壳体 10 的内径,使得该软质本体 41 塞入筒状壳体 10 内时,环形凸起 4130 与筒状壳体 10 紧密地抵接在一起,达到优良的密封效果,防止或显著地降低软质本体 41 上侧的烟液顺着筒状壳体 10 的内壁面渗透到软质本体 41 的下侧。
一同参阅图 10 及图 13 至图 15 ,硬质支座 43 在一些实施例中可以采用硬质塑胶材料一体注塑成型,其可包括第一嵌入部 431 、本体部 432 、第二嵌入部 433 、第二中心通孔 434 以及一对定位柱 435 。第一嵌入部 431 和第二嵌入部 433 分别用于嵌入到雾化组件 50 和软质本体 41 中,该第二嵌入部 433 主要从软质本体 41 上端面 411 嵌入到第一中心通孔 410 ;第二中心通孔 434 用于将雾化组件安装座 40 下侧的空气导引到雾化组件 50 中。该定位柱 435 用于嵌置于软质本体 41 的槽孔 414 中,防止硬质支座 43 相对于软质本体 41 沿周向转动。
第一嵌入部 431 分别连接于该本体部 432 的两相对端部,该第二中心通孔 434 依序贯穿该第一嵌入部 431 、本体部 432 及第二嵌入部 433 。该一对定位柱 435 连接于本体部 432 上,且在该本体部 432 上与该第二嵌入部 433 位于同一端部,该一对定位柱 435 并分别位于第二嵌入部 433 的两相对侧。
再一同参阅图 10 及图 13 ,本体部 432 在一些实施例中可包括一个第一端面 4321 以及一个与该第一端面 4321 相背的第二端面 4322 。该第一端面 4321 的中部内凹形成有一个收容部 4323 ,第一嵌入部 431 竖立在该收容部 4323 的底面,第二嵌入部 433 则竖立在该第二端面 4322 的中部。收容部 4323 在一些实施例中可呈柱状,其与第二中心通孔 434 共轴,并可以用于收容储油件 60 。定位柱 435 连接于第二端面 4322 上。
如图 14 及图 15 所示,硬质支座 43 在一些实施例中还可包括一对穿孔 436 ,该一对穿孔 436 位于该第二嵌入部 433 的两相对侧,并设置于本体部 432 上,用于供雾化组件 50 的正负极导线 531 (如图 17 中所示)分别穿置。该一对穿孔 436 与该一对定位柱 435 一道,均匀地分布于第二端面 4322 的一个围绕在该第二中心通孔 434 的圆周(如图 15 所示)上,以分别与软质本体 41 的槽孔 414 对应配合。
再如图 13 及图 14 所示,本体部 432 在一些实施例中可呈阶梯轴状,其包括介于第一端面 4321 和第二端面 4322 之间、且依序共轴地连接在一起的第一段 4324 、第二段 4325 以及第三段 4326 。其中,第二段 4325 的直径与筒状壳体 10 的内径相当,却大于第一段 4324 的直径,因而在第一段 4324 和第二段 4325 之间形成有一个环形台阶 4327 (如图 10 所示),该环形台阶 4327 可在雾化组件安装座 40 安装到筒状壳体 10 中时,供一个筒状治具 2 的端面抵接,方便雾化组件安装座 40 的精确安装。
具体地说,就是提供一个如图 29 所示的筒状治具 2 ,该筒状治具 2 的内径略大于第一段 4324 的直径,而外径略小于筒状壳体 10 的内径。当需要将雾化组件安装座 40 安装到到筒状壳体 10 中时,先将该筒状治具 2 套住该第一段 4324 ,再将雾化组件安装座 40 对准筒状壳体 10 的中心通孔往里塞。此时,由于筒状治具 2 的端面缘抵接在环形台阶 4327 ,雾化组件安装座 40 受到的筒状治具 2 的推力在周向上分布非常均匀,可以防止雾化组件安装座 40 在安装过程中出现倾斜、卡死等现象,从而为雾化组件安装座 40 的精确安装提供了保证。
本体部 432 的第三段 4326 的直径小于第二段 4325 的直径,且与软质本体41的收容部 4110 的直径相当,第三段 4326 的轴向长度与收容部 4110 的深度相当,以便该第三段 4326 能够较好地嵌置于该收容部4110中(如图16所示)。第三段 4326 嵌置于收容部 4110 中时,本体部 432 的第二段 4325 紧密地抵接在软质本体 41 的上端面 411 上。
再如图 13 至图 15 所示,硬质支座 43 的第二嵌入部 433 靠近末端处还可包括一个倒钩状限位部 4330 ,该限位部 4330 沿着第二嵌入部 433 周向设置,且其直径大于软质本体 41 的第一中心通孔 410 的孔径。
如图 16 所示,该限位部 4330 到本体部 432 的下端面 4322 的距离与软质本体 41 的收容部 4110 底面到环形台阶 4123 的距离相当,以便在第二嵌入部 433 嵌入到软质本体 41 的第一中心通孔 410 中时,限位部 4330 能够牢靠地倒钩在环形台阶 4123 上,防止第二嵌入部 433 从第一中心通孔 410 中脱离或松动。
再如图 14 所示,限位部 4330 的前端在一些实施例中还可包括一个锥形导引部 4332 ,以方便该限位部 4330 贯穿软质本体 41 的第一中心通孔 410 。一同参阅图 3 可知,该限位部 4330 的长度与该软质本体 41 的下端面 412 到该环形台阶 4123 的表面的距离相当。如此,当第二嵌入部 433 嵌设于第一中心通孔 410 中时,第二嵌入部 433 的末端凸出于该软质本体 41 的下端面 412 ,该末端可以阻止电源组件 7 与软质本体 41 的下端面 412 紧贴,为导线 531 走线提供了充足的空间,防止空间不足对气流通道造成的堵塞现象的产生。
再一同参阅图 10 、图 14 及图 15 ,第二嵌入部 433 的端面中部在一些实施例中可内凹形成一个凹槽 4334 ,该凹槽 4334 可由该第二嵌入部 433 的端面沿平行于第二嵌入部 433 轴线的方向延伸至限位部 4330 的上端面附近,并且该凹槽 4334 在横向上贯穿第二嵌入部 433 和限位部 4330 ,以便能够与软质本体 41 的导槽 4120 相连通(如图 16 所示),从而令空气能够依序经过导槽 4120 及凹槽 4334 进入到硬质支座 43 的第二中心通孔 434 中,再通过第二中心通孔 434 进入到雾化组件 50 中。
再如图 15 所示,凹槽 4334 在第二端面 4322 的正投影的延伸方向与该一对定位柱 435 的连线相重合。如此设置,则如图 16 所示,当电子烟 1 组装好之后,凹槽 4334 与没有穿置导线 531 的导槽 4120 正对,以防止导线 531 和 / 或用来固定导线 531 的胶水凝固后对空气流动的阻碍。如图 17 所示,当电子烟 1 组装好之后,穿设有导线 531 的导槽 4120 被第二嵌入部 433 阻隔切断。这样设置有一个好处是,可以防止空气的高速流动在对导线 531 和 / 或胶水的吹动所带来的不利影响。例如,气流长时间的吹动导致的对导线 531 电气连接部位的损坏,或是使得导线 531 与胶水之间的结合出现松动,降低胶水的固定效果。
如图 18 及图 19 所示,雾化组件 50 在一些实施例中可包括通气管 51 、导液绳 52 、发热元件 53 、定位套筒 54 以及支撑管 55 。通气管 51 的进气端用于套接于硬质支座 43 的第一嵌入部 431 上(如图 3 及图 4 所示),出气端与烟嘴盖 20 的中心通孔 210 正对。导液绳 52 可采用玻纤材料制成,其横穿于通气管 51 的侧壁中,且两端露出在外,该露出的端部与储液件 60 相连接,以通过毛细力的作用将储液件 60 中的烟液吸入到通气管 51 内。发热元件 53 设置在通气管 51 内并配合在导液绳 52 上,其主要与导液绳 52 位于通气管 51 内部的部分相配合,以通过加热的方式将导液绳 52 位于通气管 51 内部的部分上的烟液雾化。定位套筒 54 套设于通气管 51 上,且轴向平行通气管 51 的轴向,为通气管 51 的特定部位提供结构上的补强。支撑管 55 嵌置于通气管 51 的出气端,用于防止通气管 51 的出气端受压变形,而阻碍载有烟雾的空气在通气管 51 中的流动。支撑管 55 的存在还可以防止外界对电子烟 1 施加径向的挤压力时对储液件 60 的过分挤压,进而可以避免储液件 60 中的烟液被大量挤压出。另外,支撑管 55 并与烟嘴盖 20 的环墙 23 保持一定的距离,以防止支撑管 55 上的烟液传递到环墙 23 上。如图 20 所示,通气管 51 在一些实施例中可呈细长的圆筒状构造,其可以采用纤维等材料编织制成。通气管 51 的进气端的孔径略小于硬质支座 43 的第一嵌入部 431 的直径,以便能够过盈配合的方式套设于第一嵌入部 431 上。通气管 51 的侧壁上开设有两个相对的通孔 510 ,该通孔 510 的孔径与导液绳 52 的直径相适配,以供导液绳 52 穿置于其中,导液绳 52 的相对两端露出在通气管 51 外。为了方便导液绳 52 的穿置,通气管 51 的侧壁上还设有切口 512 ,切口 512 与通孔 510 相连通,以供导液绳 52 横向通过至通孔 510 中。在一些实施例中,切口 512 在通气管 51 上位于通孔 510 上方的位置。
如图 21 所示,该切口 512 能够让通气管 51 被该切口 512 切开的两部分被扳开一定的角度,使得闭合的通孔 510 上形成一个具有一定宽度的开口,让导液绳 52 能够横向放入到该通孔 510 中,免去了穿孔安装的麻烦,很大程度上方便了导液绳 52 的安装。该切口 512 在一些实施例中可包括在通气管 51 上由外向内延伸的横切段 5121 以及与横切段 5121 相连接的纵切段 5123 ,该纵切段 5123 延伸至该两个通孔 510 中。横切段 5121 与纵切段 5123 的夹角优选地为钝角,可以理解地,当该夹角为直角时也可以。
由于通气管 51 上切口 512 的设置,使得通气管 51 的强度有较大程度上的下降,当受到外力(例如,外围的储液件 60 的压力)的作用下,通气管 51 出现在切口 512 处塌陷的概率大幅度增加。为了克服该问题,本发明一些实施例提供了定位套筒 54 ,该定位套筒 54 可套接于通气管 51 上该切口 512 所在的位置,以将外界施加在通气管 51 上切口 512 所在的位置的力分散到通气管 51 的其他部位,从而降低外力对通气管 51 上切口 512 所在的位置处应力集中。定位套筒 54 的材质可与通气管 51 的材质相同,其内径与通气管 51 的外径相当,长度大于与切口 512 在通气管 51 纵向上的最大长度。如此,该定位套筒 54 能够紧密地套接在通气管 51 上,并完全包覆住切口 52 ,使得该通气管 51 的整体抗外力能力大幅度提升。
再如图 21 所示,发热元件 53 在一些实施例中可为金属发热丝,其缠绕在导液绳 52 位于通气管 51 内部的部分上,以对导液绳 52 位于通气管 51 内部的部分中的烟液进行加热雾化。一同参阅图 3 、 17 ,发热元件 53 的两端可以分别与两根导线 531 连接,该两根导线 531 可以分别从通气管 51 上的两个通孔 510 伸出到通气管 51 的外部,导线 531 再依序贯穿硬质支座 43 的穿孔 436 、软质本体 41 的槽孔 414 ,并刺透槽孔 414 底部的挡壁 415 之后,与电源组件 70 电性连接。
支撑管 55 在一些实施例中可采用硬质塑胶材料制成,其包括第一管段 552 、与第一管段 552 相连的过渡管段 553 、与过渡管段 553 相连的第二管段 554 以及与第二管段 554 相连的抵挡部 555 。第一管段 552 的外径略大于通气管 51 的内径,使得第一管段 552 能够通过过盈配合的方式穿置于通气管 51 中。第二管段 554 的外径略大于第一管段 552 的外径,过渡管段 553 的外壁面呈锥形,该过渡管段 553 以外径较大的一端与第二管段 554 相连,以将第一管段 552 与第二管段 554 过渡连接。支撑管 55 由于采用第一管段 552 和第二管段 554 与通气管 51 之间的两级过盈配合,使得支撑管 55 与通气管 51 更加牢靠。抵挡部 555 的外径大于通气管 51 的外径,使得支撑管 55 完成插入通气管 51 时,抵挡部 555 抵挡在通气管 51 的端面上。
在一些实施例中支撑管 55 还可包括连接在第一管段 552 背向过渡段 553 的一侧的导引部 551 ,从而该导引部 551 位于支撑管 55 的最前端。导引部 551 呈圆锥形,且其末端外径小于通气管 51 的孔径,以方便支撑管 55 对准通气管 51 的中心通孔。
如图 22 所示,储液件 60 在一些实施例中可呈筒状,其可以采用储液棉片卷曲而成。再一同参阅图 3 ,储液件 60 包裹在雾化组件 50 的外围,并与雾化组件 50 的导液绳 52 紧密贴合,使得储液件 60 中的烟液能够在导液绳 52 的毛细力的作用下,不停地往通气管 51 内部传递。储液件 60 的下端嵌置于硬质支座 43 的收容部 4323 中,上端低于雾化组件 50 的支撑管 55 的后端面,以防止储液件 60 堵塞支撑管 55 的中心通孔。
电源组件 70 在一些实施例中可包括柱状软包锂电池,其与筒状壳体 10 的内壁面之间形成有间隙,以供空气流通。空气开关 80 在一些实施例中可呈扁圆柱状,如图 8 及图 23 所示,该空气开关 80 安装于端盖 30 内部的台阶 330 上,并与端盖 30 的内壁面过盈配合。空气开关 80 与端盖 30 的底壁 31 之间形成一个容腔,该容腔通过通孔 313 与外界相连通。发光元件 90 在一些实施例中可以为 LED 发光二极管,其设置于空气开关 80 与底壁 31 相对的表面上。
上述电子烟 1 在组装时可以采用如下步骤:
A.提供雾化组件安装座 40 以及雾化组件 50 ,并将雾化组件 50 套设于雾化组件安装座 40 的硬质支座 43 的第一嵌入部 431 上;
B.将与雾化组件 50 的发热元件 53 相连接的导线 531 依序贯穿硬质支座 43 的穿孔 436 、软质本体 41 的槽孔 414 ,并刺透槽孔 414 底部的挡壁 415 ;
C.往被导线 531 刺透的挡壁 415 对应的容置槽 4122 中点入胶水,密封住挡壁 415 上被导线 531 刺透形成的穿刺孔 416 ;
D.提供储液件 60 ,并将储液件 60 紧密地包裹在雾化组件 50 的外围;
E.提供筒状壳体 10 ,并利用筒状治具 2 将雾化组件安装座 40 、雾化组件 50 以及储液件 60 的组合体从筒状壳体 10 的一端插入到筒状壳体 10 内部的预定位置;其中,雾化组件安装座 40 的软质本体 41 的侧壁面 413 上的环形凸起 4130 紧密地抵接筒状壳体 10 ,提升两者之间的密封效果。
F.提供烟嘴盖 20 ,并将烟嘴盖 20 封盖在筒状壳体 10 的该一端;
G.提供电源组件 70 ,并将电源组件 70 从筒状壳体 10 的与该一端相对的另一端插入到筒状壳体 10 内;
H.将电源组件 70 与雾化组件 50 的导线 531 电性连接;
I.提供端盖 30 、空气开关 80 以及发光元件 90 ,并将空气开关 80 嵌置于端盖 30 内,并将发光元件 90 安装于空气开关 80 与端盖 30 的底壁 31 相对的表面上;
J.将空气开关 80 和发光元件 90 分别与电源组件 70 电性连接;
K.将空气开关 80 、发光元件 90 以及端盖 30 三者的组合体嵌入筒状壳体 10 的该另一端,即完成组装。
其中,在步骤 A 之前,还包括组装雾化组件安装座 40 ,该雾化组件安装座 40 的组装包括如下步骤:
S1 .提供硬质支座 43 和软质本体 41 。
S2 .将硬质支座 43 的第二嵌入部 433 从软质本体 41 的上端面 411 嵌入到软质本体 41 的第一中心通孔 410 中。
该步骤 S2 中,在第二嵌入部 433 嵌入到第一中心通孔 410 中之前,将第二嵌入部 433 上的穿孔 436 对准软质本体 41 上的槽孔 414 ,以供后续导线 531 的依次贯穿。软质本体 41 的第一中心通孔 410 内壁面上的环形凸起 4101 紧密抵接第二嵌入部 433 的侧壁面,以提升两者之间的密封效果。
S3 .将硬质支座 43 的本体部 432 抵接在软质本体 41 的上端面 411 上。
该步骤 S3 中,将硬质支座 43 的本体部 432 的第三段 4326 嵌置于软质本体 41 上端面 411 的收容部 4110 中,本体部 432 的第二段 4325 紧密地抵接在软质本体 41 的上端面 411 。进一步地,硬质支座 43 的第二嵌入部 433 靠近末端处的限位部 4330 倒钩在软质本体 41 的下端面 412 的环形台阶 4123 上,以将软质本体 41 与硬质支座 43 锁死。
下面结合电子烟 1 的工作原理对本发明做进一步说明。
当使用者在电子烟 1 的烟嘴处开始吸气时,在电子烟 1 的内部形成负压。空气开关 80 感测到负压之后,将电源组件 70 与雾化组件 50 的发热元件 53 导通,发热元件 53 对导液绳 52 位于通气管 51 中部分内的烟液进行加热,使得该部分中的烟液雾化。空气开关 80 同时还可将发光元件 90 与电源组件 70 导通,模拟真实吸烟的发光效果。
另外,在电子烟 1 的内部形成负压同时,一部分外界空气首先经过端盖 30 的入气口 314 进入外导气槽 335 ,再通过外导气槽 335 进入到电子烟 1 内部。该一部分空气然后沿着电源组件 70 和筒状壳体 10 的内壁面之间的间隙,流动到硬质支座 43 的中心通孔 434 中。再通过中心通孔 434 流入到雾化组件 50 的通气管 51 中,最后带着被雾化的烟液依次穿过支撑管 55 、烟嘴盖 20 流出到外界,达到了模拟抽烟的效果。
在电子烟 1 的内部形成负压同时,另一部分外界空气先通过端盖 30 上的通孔 313 进入内导气槽 336 ,再由内导气槽 336 进入到电子烟 1 的内部,该另一部分外界空气的后续气流走向与上述的一部分外界空气的气流后续气流走向基本相同,在此就不再赘述。
图 24 示出了本发明一些实施例中的雾化组件 50a ,该雾化组件 50a 在一些实施例中可包括通气管 51 、导液绳 52a 、发热元件 53 、定位套筒 54 以及支撑管 55 。通气管 51 的进气端用于套接于硬质支座 43 的第一嵌入部 431 上(如图 3 及图 4 所示),并与硬质支座 43 的中心通孔 434 相导通。导液绳 52a 横穿于通气管 51 的侧壁中,且两端露出在外,该露出的两端与储液件 60 相连接,以通过毛细力的作用将储液件 60 中的烟液吸入到通气管 51 内。该露出的两端优选地按照一端朝上、一端朝下的方式布置,此种布置相较图 18 所示的两端均超下布置而言,储液件 60 上部和下部的烟液能够更加均匀地被导液绳 52a 导引到通气管 51 中。发热元件 53 与导液绳 52 位于通气管 51 内部的部分相配合,以通过加热的方式将导液绳 52a 位于通气管 51 内部的部分上的烟液雾化。定位套筒 54 套设于通气管 51 上,为通气管 51 的特定部位提供结构上的支撑。支撑管 55 嵌置于通气管 51 的出气端,用于防止通气管 51 的出气端受压变形,而阻碍载有烟雾的空气在通气管 51 中的流动。另外,支撑管 55 的存在还可以防止外界对电子烟 1 施加径向的挤压力时对储液件 60 的过分挤压,进而可以避免储液件 60 中的烟液被大量挤压出。
图 25 示出了本发明一些实施例中的雾化组件 50b ,该雾化组件 50b 在一些实施例中可包括通气管 51 、两条导液绳 52b 、发热元件 53 、定位套筒 54 以及支撑管 55 。通气管 51 的进气端用于套接于硬质支座 43 的第一嵌入部 431 上(如图 3 及图 4 所示),并与硬质支座 43 的中心通孔 434 相导通。该两条导液绳 52b 均横穿于通气管 51 的侧壁中,且彼此紧邻;该两条导液绳 52b 的两端均露出在外,每一导液绳 52b 露出在外的两端均与储液件 60 相连接,以通过毛细力的作用将储液件 60 中的烟液吸入到通气管 51 内。该两条导液绳 52b 露出的端部优选地按照一条导液绳 52b 的两端朝上、另一条导液绳 52b 的两端朝下的方式布置,此种布置相较图 24 所示的单根导液绳 52a 一端朝上、一端朝下的布置方式而言,吸烟液的能够更强,且储液件 60 上部和下部的烟液能够更加均匀地被导液绳 52b 导引到通气管 51 中。发热元件 53 与导液绳 52b 位于通气管 51 内部的部分相配合,以通过加热的方式将导液绳 52b 位于通气管 51 内部的部分上的烟液雾化。定位套筒 54 套设于通气管 51 上,为通气管 51 的特定部位提供结构上的支撑。支撑管 55 嵌置于通气管 51 的出气端,用于防止通气管 51 的出气端受压变形,而阻碍载有烟雾的空气在通气管 51 中的流动。另外,支撑管 55 的存在还可以防止外界对电子烟 1 施加径向的挤压力时对储液件 60 的过分挤压,进而可以避免储液件 60 中的烟液被大量挤压出。另外,在其他实施例中,该两个导液绳 52b 中可以只有一个导液绳 52b 上设置发热元件 53 。
图 26 示出了本发明一些实施例中的通气管 51c ,该通气管 51c 为了方便导液绳 52 的穿置,在通气管 51c 位于通孔 510 上方的位置还设置有切口 512c ,该切口 512c 与通孔 510 相连通,并具有一定的宽度。该切口 512c 能够让通气管 51 被该切口 512c 切开的两部分被扳开一定的角度,让导液绳 52 能够横向放入到该通孔 510 中,免去了穿孔安装的麻烦,很大程度上方便了导液绳 52 的安装。该切口 512c 在一些实施例中可包括由外向内延伸的横切段 5121c 以及与横切段 5121c 相连接的纵切段 5123c ,该纵切段 5123c 延伸至该两个通孔 510 中。
