[0051] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present invention, so the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0052] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time.

[0053] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0054] An embodiment of the present invention provides an atomizer 100 for an electronic cigarette, which includes a lower body 110, a heating component, and an atomization chamber 120 located between the lower body 110 and the heating component. The lower body 110 is provided with a first air intake channel 130 connected to the atomization chamber 120 for air intake, and the first air intake channel 130 is closed by a pierceable seal 140.

[0055] When the battery assembly 200 needs to be connected to the atomizer 100, the seal 140 can be pierced to connect the first air inlet channel 130 with the second air inlet channel (not shown in the figure) provided in the battery assembly 200. In this way, air can be introduced into the atomizing chamber 120 from the second air inlet channel and the first air inlet channel 130. Since the seal 140 does not need to be separated from the lower seat 110, the assembly process can be simplified, and the battery assembly 200 and the atomizer 100 can be assembled together quickly and conveniently.

[0056] Moreover, compared with the conventional atomizer, the atomizer 100 of the embodiment of the present invention has fewer seals 140, which simplifies the process of assembling the seal 140 on the lower seat 110. Since there is no need to separate the seal 140 from the lower seat 110, the installation process of the battery assembly 200 is also simplified. This makes the overall use of the electronic cigarette more convenient. In addition, the atomizer 100 can be completely sealed during transportation without leakage.

[0057] It should be noted that there are many ways to configure the second air inlet passage of the battery assembly 200.

[0058] For example, an air inlet hole 240 may be provided at the rear end of the battery assembly 200 , and a gap inside the shell 250 of the battery assembly 200 forms a second air inlet channel, and one end of the second air inlet channel is connected to the air inlet hole 240 .

[0059] It is understandable that an air flow passage may be independently provided in the battery assembly 200 to form a second air inlet passage, and one end of the second air inlet passage is connected to the outside. For example, the second air inlet passage may be formed on the battery mounting frame 220 .

[0060] In this embodiment, the sealing member 140 may be pierced in a variety of ways.

[0061] For example, a piercing member 210 is provided separately. When the battery assembly 200 and the atomizer 100 need to be assembled together, the piercing member 210 can be used to pierce the seal 140 to make the first air inlet channel 130 conductive. Then the atomizer 100 and the battery assembly 200 are assembled together. At this time, the second air inlet channel of the battery assembly 200 is connected to the first air inlet channel 130, so that air can be introduced into the atomizing chamber 120 from the second air inlet channel and the first air inlet channel 130. After the air enters the atomizing chamber 120, it can be mixed with the smoke in the atomizing chamber 120 and discharged to the outside of the atomizer 100 through the exhaust channel and the air outlet 180 provided in the atomizer 100. The exhaust channel and the air outlet 180 provided in the atomizer 100 can apply the exhaust channel and the air outlet 180 in the atomizer 100 in the prior art, and are not limited here.

[0062] Preferably, a puncture member 210 is provided on the battery assembly 200, and the puncture member 210 is provided with a connecting channel 212. The puncture member 210 is provided corresponding to the first air inlet channel 130 of the lower seat body 110, and is used to pierce the sealing member 140. After the battery assembly 200 is connected to the atomizer 100, the puncture member 210 pierces the sealing member 140, and connects the first air inlet channel 130 with the second air inlet channel through the connecting channel 212. With this arrangement, when the puncture member 210 pierces the sealing member 140 to establish a connection, that is, the first air inlet channel 130 is connected with the second air inlet channel through the connecting channel 212, and then the air can be introduced into the first air inlet channel 130 through the connecting channel 212 on the puncture member 210, and enter the atomizing chamber 120 from the first air inlet channel 130. Therefore, there is no need to open a vent hole on the lower seat body 110 for air to flow into the atomizing chamber 120. For specific air flow direction, please refer to Fig.13 As indicated by the arrow in .

[0063] Specifically, a piercing member 210 may be provided at the front end of the battery mounting frame 220 of the battery assembly 200. Accordingly, one end of the first air inlet channel 130 passes through the bottom of the lower seat 110. With such a configuration, during the process of assembling the battery assembly 200 and the atomizer 100 together, the piercing member 210 may be inserted into the corresponding first air inlet channel 130 and pierce the sealing member 140 in the first air inlet channel 130. After the sealing member 140 in the first air inlet channel 130 is pierced, the first air inlet channel 130 is communicated with the connecting channel 212, and the connecting channel 212 is communicated with the second air inlet channel, which enables the first air inlet channel 130 to communicate with the second air inlet channel. The second air inlet channel of the battery assembly 200 may introduce air into the atomizing chamber 120 via the second air inlet channel, the connecting channel 212 and the first air inlet channel 130.

[0064] The sealing member 140 may include a puncturable sealing portion 141 , a positioning flange 142 located at one end of the puncturable sealing portion 141 , and a guide channel 143 located at the other end of the puncturable sealing portion 141 .

[0065] The pierceable sealing portion 141 is used to seal the first air inlet passage 130 .

[0066] The positioning flange 142 is used to securely fix the sealing member 140 on the lower seat 110. In a specific configuration, the lower seat 110 may be provided with a positioning groove 150 below the first air inlet passage 130. The positioning flange 142 may be received by the positioning groove 150. In this configuration, when the piercing member 210 is used to pierce the sealing member 140, the sealing member 140 will not move relative to the first air inlet passage 130 due to the stopping effect of the positioning groove 150 on the positioning flange 142.

[0067] The guide channel 143 is in communication with the first air inlet channel 130, and is used to guide air into the first air inlet channel 130. If the first air inlet channel 130 includes an axial air inlet channel 131 and a radial air inlet channel 132 in communication with the axial air inlet channel 131, the guide channel 143 may include an axial hole 143a in communication with the axial air inlet channel 131. On this basis, the guide channel 143 may further include a radial hole 143b in communication with the axial hole 143a and in communication with the radial air inlet channel 132.

[0068] Furthermore, when the sealing member 140 is set, one end of the sealing member 140 forms an insertion end for the piercing member 210 to be inserted, and the other end of the sealing member 140 forms a positioning end 144, and the positioning end 144 can abut against the channel wall 134 corresponding to the end of the first air inlet channel 130. In this way, when the piercing member 210 is inserted into the sealing member 140, the sealing member 140 is subjected to a force directed from the insertion end to the positioning end, and this force drives the sealing member 140 to move. However, since the positioning end is stopped by the channel wall, the sealing member 140 cannot move at this time. In this way, after the sealing member 140 is pierced, its position relative to the first air inlet channel 130 will not change.

[0069] It is understandable that the sealing member 140 may also be implemented in other ways.

[0070] For example, the seal 140 may include only one pierceable seal portion 141 .

[0071] In one embodiment, the sealing member 140 is an elastic sealing member 140. For example, the elastic sealing member 140 can be made of materials such as silicone.

[0072] In this way, when the puncture member 210 is set on the battery assembly 200, after the seal 140 is punctured by the puncture member 210, the elastic seal 140 and the puncture member 210 can form a close fit, and the smoke liquid in the atomizer 100 is not easy to flow out from the gap between the puncture member 210 and the elastic seal 140, thereby reducing the risk of leakage. In addition, since the seal 140 is elastic, after it is punctured, the puncture member 210 is pulled out from the seal 140, and the punctured part of the seal 140 can also be automatically closed, even after multiple punctures. Therefore, even if the puncture member 210 is pulled out from the seal 140, it will not cause leakage.

[0073] In one embodiment, the first air inlet channel 130 has an air inlet 133 for introducing air into the atomizing chamber 120 . The air inlet 133 is higher than the bottom of the atomizing chamber 120 .

[0074] Specifically, the air inlet 133 may be arranged at the bottom of the atomizing chamber 120 and extend into the atomizing chamber 120, and the height of the air inlet 133 is higher than the bottom of the atomizing chamber 120 by a certain distance. In this arrangement, the liquid level of the liquid condensed at the bottom of the atomizing chamber 120 is lower than the height of the air inlet 133, so that this part of the liquid cannot enter the air inlet 133. Since this part of the liquid cannot enter the air inlet 133, it cannot enter the connecting channel 212 of the piercing member 210, and will not enter the battery assembly 200 along the connecting channel 212, so the risk of leakage can be reduced.

[0075] It is understandable that the air inlet 133 can also be set on the side wall of the chamber of the atomizing chamber 120, so that the air inlet 133 can also be higher than the bottom of the atomizing chamber 120. In addition, since the newly formed condensed liquid in the atomizing chamber 120 generally moves to the bottom of the atomizing chamber 120, the air inlet 133 is set on the side wall of the chamber of the atomizing chamber 120, so that this part of the liquid is not easy to enter the air inlet 133, and since there is continuous air flowing into the atomizing chamber 120 at the air inlet 133, the airflow formed by this part of the air will also prevent the condensed liquid from entering the air inlet 133. In this way, since it is difficult for the condensed liquid to enter the air inlet 133, it cannot enter the connecting channel 212 of the piercing member 210, and will not enter the battery assembly 200 along the connecting channel 212, so the risk of leakage can be reduced.

[0076] Furthermore, the above-mentioned arrangement of the air inlet 133 on the side wall of the chamber of the atomizing chamber 120 can also allow air to enter the atomizing chamber 120 more smoothly. This is because, if the air inlet 133 is arranged at the bottom of the atomizing chamber 120, usually more condensate will accumulate at the bottom of the atomizing chamber 120. If this part of the condensate enters the air inlet 133, then during suction, the airflow at the air inlet 133 will be affected by the condensate due to the problem of condensate accumulation. This results in poor airflow. However, if the air inlet 133 is arranged on the side wall of the chamber of the atomizing chamber 120, the influence of the condensate on the airflow can be reduced or even avoided, thereby making the airflow flow smoother and achieving better atomization effect.

[0077] The number of the first air inlet channels 130 may be one or more. For example, the number of the first air inlet channels 130 is two, and the two first air inlet channels 130 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the atomizing chamber 120. Correspondingly, if the piercing member 210 is provided on the battery assembly 200, the number of the piercing members 210 is consistent with the number of the first air inlet channels 130. This arrangement can increase the flow rate of the gas entering the atomizing chamber 120. And a double insurance can be formed, that is, if one of the first air inlet channels 130 is blocked due to an accident, the other first air inlet channel 130 can still ensure that air can enter the atomizing chamber 120.

[0078] In one embodiment, the atomizer 100 further includes a stop structure 160 , and the stop structure 160 is used to prevent the sealing member 140 in the first air inlet channel 130 from being separated from the first air inlet channel 130 under the action of an external force.

[0079] The stop structure 160 can be provided to prevent the sealing member 140 from being disengaged from the first air inlet passage 130 and then separated from the first air inlet passage 130 when the piercing member 210 is pulled out of the sealing member 140 .

[0080] There are many implementations of the stop structure 160 . For example, the stop structure 160 is located on one side of the seal 140 . When the seal 140 contacts the stop structure 160 , the stop structure 160 limits the seal 140 from moving toward the outside of the first air intake passage 130 .

[0081] Specifically, the stopper structure 160 may include a stopper ring 161 and a positioning portion 162 connected to the stopper ring 161. The stopper structure 160 may be formed by cold-rolled carbon steel sheet processing. The stopper ring 161 may be arranged at the bottom end of the first air inlet channel 130 and located outside the bottom end of the lower seat body 110, and a portion of the stopper ring 161 is located at the lower end of the bottom of the seal 140. The positioning portion 162 may be fixed in the receiving groove 170 arranged on the side wall of the atomizer 100. In this way, when the piercing member 210 is pulled out of the seal 140, the seal 140 will have a tendency to move downward. When the seal 140 contacts the stopper ring 161, the seal 140 is blocked and limited by the stopper ring 161, and the seal 140 cannot continue to move. In this way, the seal 140 in the first air inlet channel 130 can be prevented from being separated from the first air inlet channel 130 under the action of external force.

[0082] It is understandable that the above-mentioned stop structure 160 may also be implemented in other embodiments. For example, a barb 213 may be provided on the channel wall corresponding to the first air inlet channel 130, so that after the seal 140 is inserted into the first air inlet channel 130, the barb 213 will be inserted into the seal 140. When the seal 140 tends to move under the action of an external force, the barb 213 will prevent the seal 140 from moving further.

[0083] The embodiment of the present invention further provides a battery assembly. The battery assembly 200 is provided with a second air intake channel for air intake. The battery assembly 200 is also provided with a piercing member 210, and the piercing member 210 is provided with a connecting channel 212. The piercing member 210 is provided corresponding to the first air intake channel 130 of the lower seat 110, and is used to pierce the sealing member 140. After the battery assembly 200 is connected to the atomizer 100, the piercing member 210 pierces the sealing member 140, and connects the first air intake channel 130 with the second air intake channel through the connecting channel 212.

[0084] When in use, the battery assembly 200 is first connected to the atomizer 100. After the battery assembly 200 is connected to the atomizer 100, the piercing member 210 pierces the sealing member 140, and connects the first air inlet channel 130 with the second air inlet channel through the connecting channel 212. In this way, when the piercing member 210 pierces the sealing member 140 to establish a connection, the first air inlet channel 130 is connected to the second air inlet channel through the connecting channel 212, and then the air can be introduced into the first air inlet channel 130 through the connecting channel 212 on the piercing member 210, and enter the atomizing chamber 120 from the first air inlet channel 130. Therefore, there is no need to open a vent on the lower seat 110 for air to flow into the atomizing chamber 120.

[0085] Specifically, a piercing member 210 may be provided at the front end of the battery mounting frame 220 of the battery assembly 200. In the process of assembling the battery assembly 200 and the atomizer 100 together, the piercing member 210 may be inserted into the corresponding first air inlet channel 130 and pierce the sealing member 140 in the first air inlet channel 130. After the sealing member 140 in the first air inlet channel 130 is pierced, the first air inlet channel 130 is connected with the connecting channel 212, and the connecting channel 212 is connected with the second air inlet channel, which makes the first air inlet channel 130 connected with the second air inlet channel. The second air inlet channel of the battery assembly 200 can introduce air into the atomizing chamber 120 via the second air inlet channel, the connecting channel 212 and the first air inlet channel 130.

[0086] In this embodiment, the piercing member 210 includes at least one piercing head 211 disposed toward the sealing member 140, and the connecting passage 212 passes through the piercing head 211. The shape of the piercing head 211 may be a wedge, a triangle, etc. As long as the piercing head 211 has a sharp end, the sealing member 140 can be pierced relatively easily. The number of piercing heads 211 may be one, or two or more. The shape of the connecting passage 212 may be a straight line, or other shapes such as a curve or a broken line.

[0087] For example, the piercing member 210 may include a supporting body 214 , and one end of the supporting body 214 is a wedge-shaped piercing head 211 .

[0088] For example, the piercing member 210 may be in a triangular shape as a whole, and the corresponding piercing head 211 may also be in a triangular shape.

[0089] For example, the piercing member 210 may include a supporting body 214 , and one end of the supporting body 214 is a triangular piercing head 211 .

[0090] For example, the piercing member 210 may include two support bodies 214 disposed at intervals, and a triangular piercing head 211 is disposed at one end of each support body 214 .

[0091] For example, the piercing member 210 may include two wedge-shaped piercing heads 211 that are spaced apart from each other.

[0092] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the piercing member 210 is provided with at least one barb 213 that can be inserted into the sealing member 140. The barb 213 can make the connection between the piercing member 210 and the sealing member 140 more stable. Furthermore, since the piercing member 210 is provided on the battery assembly 200 and the sealing member 140 is provided on the atomizer 100, the connection between the piercing member 210 and the sealing member 140 is stable, and the connection between the battery assembly 200 and the atomizer 100 can also be more stable. The number of the barbs 213 can be set according to actual conditions.

[0093] An embodiment of the present invention further provides an electronic cigarette 300, which includes the above-mentioned atomizer 100 and a battery assembly 200. After the above-mentioned battery assembly 200 is connected to the above-mentioned atomizer 100, the above-mentioned piercing member 210 pierces the above-mentioned sealing member 140 to connect the first air inlet channel 130 with the second air inlet channel through the connecting channel 212.
