Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electronic cigarettes, and in particular to an electronic cigarette with an inflatable sealing plug. Background Art

[0002] As a new type of smoking substitute, e-cigarettes have received widespread attention and application in recent years. Compared with traditional tobacco products, e-cigarettes are believed to be able to reduce smokers' intake of harmful substances to a certain extent. However, with the rapid development of the e-cigarette market, the requirements for its product quality and user experience are becoming higher and higher. In particular, the storage and sealing of e-cigarettes have become an important factor affecting user experience.

[0003] Most of the electronic cigarettes on the market do not have structures specially designed for long-term storage and sealing, which leads to the volatilization of the e-liquid due to long-term exposure to the external environment when the electronic cigarette is unopened. The volatilization of the e-liquid not only reduces the number of times the electronic cigarette is used, but also may affect the taste and concentration of the smoke, reducing the user's satisfaction.

[0004] More specifically, when the e-liquid is in contact with the air for a long time, it is easy to undergo oxidation reaction, resulting in changes in taste and composition, which may have potential adverse effects on the health of users and seriously damage the user's smoking experience. This problem is particularly prominent because existing e-cigarette products lack effective sealing measures.

[0005] The reason for the above shortcomings is that most electronic cigarettes focus on the appearance design and the functionality of electronic components when designing, while ignoring the importance of internal oil preservation. In existing products, there is a gap between the flue and the outside world, which not only causes oil volatilization and oxidation problems, but also may allow dust or tiny impurities to enter, further affecting the quality and safety of the oil.

[0006] In summary, the development of electronic cigarettes with inflatable sealing plugs can effectively solve the problems of volatilization and oxidation deterioration of e-liquid, ensure the freshness and taste of the e-liquid, and thus greatly enhance the user's smoking experience. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of the present application is to overcome at least one of the shortcomings of the prior art and to provide an electronic cigarette with an inflatable sealing plug. The electronic cigarette can better protect the quality of the e-liquid during the entire cycle from the completion of production to the sale and use of the electronic cigarette, thereby extending the effective shelf life of the product and reducing the return rate due to quality problems, and has high practical value.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application discloses an electronic cigarette with an inflatable sealing plug, comprising an electronic cigarette body, an inflatable plug inserted from a smoking port and sealed in a smoke passage,

[0009] The electronic cigarette body has a flue connected to the mouthpiece, the flue is used to atomize the smoke oil, and an atomizer core is installed in the flue, and the atomizer core atomizes the smoke oil after being powered on;

[0010] The atomizing core has a working channel, and the working channel is coaxially arranged with the flue;

[0011] In order to achieve the sealing of the flue and the atomization core, the inflatable plug is an elastically deformable long hollow structure, and a self-sealing filling and discharging hole is provided at the tail end of the inflatable plug; the inflatable plug is adapted to the length of the flue, and the inflatable plug is inserted into the flue and the working channel. When inflated, the flue and the working channel are sealed by elastic expansion.

[0012] Furthermore, the inflatable plug is made of silicone.

[0013] In some embodiments, the inflation and deflation holes at the tail end of the inflatable plug are one-way self-closing holes to prevent the inflatable plug from leaking in a natural state.

[0014] In some embodiments, the shape of the inflatable plug is compatible with the flue and the working channel.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0016] Combined with the discussion of the above background technology, the technical solution of the electronic cigarette with an inflatable sealing plug can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. Effectively prevent the volatilization and oxidation deterioration of the smoke oil: By installing an elastically deformable inflatable sealing plug inside the flue, the flue and the atomizer core therein can be tightly sealed. This sealing structure effectively isolates the contact between the smoke oil and the external environment, reduces the volatilization of the smoke oil and the contact area with the air, thereby effectively preventing the oxidation and deterioration of the smoke oil, ensuring that the smoke oil remains in the best condition and improving the smoking experience.

[0018] 2. Improve the shelf life of products: Since the inflatable sealing plug can effectively maintain the freshness and quality of the e-liquid, the shelf life of the e-cigarette is correspondingly improved. For manufacturers, this means that the product can maintain high quality for a longer period of time, reducing inventory losses caused by e-liquid deterioration, while also providing consumers with more reliable and long-lasting products.

[0019] 3. Enhance user safety: The inflatable sealing plug made of materials such as silicone not only has good elasticity and sealing, but silicone itself is a safe and non-toxic material, which further ensures the safety of the electronic cigarette use process. In addition, the one-way self-closing hole design of the charging and discharging hole can prevent the sealing plug from leaking in the non-inflated state, ensuring long-term effective sealing performance.

[0029] Figure 1 An exemplary structure for achieving the purpose of the present application is disclosed. Specifically, this embodiment provides an electronic cigarette, which comprises an electronic cigarette body 1 and an inflatable sealing plug 2 matched with the electronic cigarette body 1, wherein the electronic cigarette body 1 has an atomizing core 3 and a flue 5 connected to a smoking port 4. The atomizing core 3 is arranged in the flue 5 in the electronic cigarette body 1, and the atomizing core 3 is used to atomize the tobacco oil.

[0030] As a further description of this embodiment, the flue 5 is a passage connected to the inhalation port 4, which is specially designed to transfer the atomized tobacco oil. The inflatable sealing plug 2 is designed as a long hollow structure, which can be inserted into the flue 5 and penetrate the atomizer core 4, and the purpose of sealing the flue 5 and the atomizer core 4 is achieved by inflation. The tail end of the inflatable plug 3 is equipped with a self-sealing gas filling and discharging hole 6 to ensure the filling and retention of gas and prevent leakage.

[0031] It should be understood that the electronic cigarette body has a shell, which is usually made of metal or plastic, and electronic components such as batteries and circuit boards are arranged inside the body to power the atomizer core 4 and control the operation of the atomizer core 4. More specifically, the atomizer core 4 is a device that atomizes the smoke oil through electrical heating, and contains a heating wire and a cotton core or other absorbent material that absorbs the smoke oil.

[0032] More specifically, the atomizer core 4 is located inside the electronic cigarette body 1, and the atomizer core has a working channel 7 coaxially arranged with the flue 5, so as to ensure that the atomized smoke oil can be directly transmitted to the user's mouth through the flue.

[0033] As a further description of this embodiment, more specifically, the inflatable sealing plug 2 is made of high-quality silicone material, which has good elasticity and durability, and is safe and non-toxic. It is a long hollow structure, and one end is provided with a one-way self-closing charging and discharging hole 6. The charging and discharging hole 6 is normally self-closing, and can maintain airtightness even when not used for a long time to prevent internal gas leakage.

[0034] When in use, the inflatable sealing plug 2 is inserted into the flue 5 and the atomizer core 4, and forms a tightly sealed environment through its own expansion, effectively preventing the volatilization and oxidation deterioration of the smoke oil, and maintaining the freshness of the smoke oil. It should be understood that the following are the steps for use: before assembling or using the electronic cigarette, first insert the inflatable sealing plug 2 into the flue 5 to ensure that it properly covers the atomizer core 4. After completing the above, inflate it through the charging and discharging holes 6 at the tail end of the inflatable sealing plug 2 until the inflatable sealing plug expands to a degree sufficient to tightly seal the flue 5 and the atomizer core 4. Inflation can be achieved using a manual pump or a micro electric air pump.

[0035] Through the design of the above structure and operation process, the electronic cigarette with an inflatable sealing plug can effectively protect the smoke oil and prevent it from volatilization and oxidation, thereby improving the user experience and ensuring the quality and safety of the product.
