Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electronic cigarettes, and particularly relates to an electronic cigarette and its housing assembly. Background Art

[0002] Electronic cigarettes are used to replace traditional cigarettes. The main implementation method is through an atomizer to atomize e-liquid into smoke, so that smokers can obtain a feeling similar to that of cigarettes through the atomized smoke. Among them, the atomizer that plays a major role is installed on the housing, and a power source is arranged inside the housing to supply power to the atomizer. With the continuous development of electronic cigarette technology, the housing has evolved from a simple external structure in the past to various styles at present to meet the selection needs of different users. However, no matter how the form of the electronic cigarette housing changes, an electronic cigarette can only have one style of housing. Generally, the housing of an electronic cigarette is a fixed structure, and the style cannot be changed, which cannot meet the users who have gradually higher requirements for electronic cigarettes.

[0003] In addition, a heating resistance wire is arranged inside the atomizer. The e-liquid directly contacts the resistance wire, and the resistance wire is heated by the user's ventilation under the suction action, and then the e-liquid is atomized. Among them, the contact between the e-liquid and the resistance wire is to wind the resistance wire on organic cotton, and then immerse both ends of the organic cotton in the e-liquid. In this way, when the resistance wire is energized and heated, the atomization of the e-liquid can be realized. However, in the atomizer of the existing electronic cigarette, the resistance wire wound on the organic cotton is located in a relatively closed chamber. Each time an electronic cigarette is smoked, the e-liquid that needs to be heated by the resistance wire needs to be absorbed from the end of the organic cotton, resulting in a delay in atomizing the e-liquid, thereby affecting the smoking effect of the electronic cigarette and reducing the smoking experience of the user.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 10 to 11 shown, a housing assembly 20 of an electronic cigarette is provided, which is applied to the electronic cigarette and connected to the atomizer 10 of the electronic cigarette. Specifically, the housing assembly 20 includes a U-shaped frame 21, a first side plate 22, a second side plate 23, a first decorative sheet 24, and a second decorative sheet 25. The U-shaped frame 21 has a first inner wall and a second inner wall disposed opposite to each other. A crossbar 213 connected between the first inner wall and the second inner wall is provided at a position of the U-shaped frame 21 near its open end. The first side plate 22 is disposed on one side inside the U-shaped frame 21, and the second side plate 23 is disposed on the other side inside the U-shaped frame 21 and connected to the first side plate 22. The crossbar 213 is clamped between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23.

[0062] Further, the first inner wall and the second inner wall are both provided with first sliding grooves 211 and second sliding grooves 212 which are arranged at intervals and extend in the length direction. Two side ends of the first decorative sheet 24 are respectively slidably connected to the two first sliding grooves 211 on both sides and inserted into the U-shaped frame 21. Two side ends of the second decorative sheet 25 are respectively slidably connected to the two second sliding grooves 212 on both sides and inserted into the U-shaped frame 21. The first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 are both between the first decorative sheet 24 and the second decorative sheet 25.

[0063] In the outer shell assembly 20 of the electronic cigarette of the present invention, the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 are connected between the cross bars 213, and the space formed together with the U-shaped frame 21 is used to install the power supply 30. Since the first sliding grooves 211 and the second sliding grooves 212 are formed on both the first inner wall and the second inner wall of the U-shaped frame 21, in this way, the first decorative sheet 24 can be slidably connected between the two first sliding grooves 211, and the second decorative sheet 25 can be slidably connected between the two second sliding grooves 212. In this way, it is convenient to replace the first decorative sheet 24 and the second decorative sheet 25. Furthermore, it is convenient for the user to select different first decorative sheets 24 and second decorative sheets 25 for use according to their own preferences, and the style of the outer shell assembly 20 can be changed, meeting the user's demand for the selectable change of the style of the electronic cigarette.

[0064] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 10 to 11As shown, first slide bars 241 are provided at both side ends of the first decorative piece 24, and the first slide bars 241 are in sliding fit with the correspondingly-positioned first sliding grooves 211; second slide bars 251 are provided at both side ends of the second decorative piece 25, and the second slide bars 251 are in sliding fit with the correspondingly-positioned second sliding grooves 212. Specifically, the cross-sectional area of the first slide bar 241 is adapted to the cross-sectional area of the first sliding groove 211, so that when the first slide bar 241 slides into the first sliding groove 211, the first slide bar 241 can be stable without excessive looseness; similarly, the cross-sectional area of the second slide bar 251 is adapted to the cross-sectional area of the second sliding groove 212, so that when the second slide bar 251 slides into the second sliding groove 212, the second slide bar 251 can be stable without excessive looseness. In this way, the stability and reliability of the first decorative piece 24 and the second decorative piece 25 after installation can be ensured. In addition, the thickness of the first slide bar 241 is less than the rear side of the first decorative piece 24, and the thickness of the second slide bar 251 is less than the thickness of the second decorative piece 25, so that a step is formed between the first slide bar 241 and the first decorative piece 24, and a step is formed between the second slide bar 251 and the second decorative piece 25. The formation of the steps prevents misalignment in the width direction between the first slide bar 241 and the first sliding groove 211, and also prevents misalignment in the width direction between the second slide bar 251 and the second sliding groove 212, thereby making the installation and disassembly of the first decorative piece 24 and the second decorative piece 25 smoother.

[0065] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 10 to 11 shown, first support bars 221 that are flush with the first sliding grooves 211 and are used to support the first slide bars 241 are provided at both side ends of the first side plate 22; second support bars 231 that are flush with the second sliding grooves 212 and are used to support the second slide bars 251 are provided at both side ends of the second side plate 23. Specifically, the first support bar 221 is used to support a part of the structure of the first slide bar 241, and it cooperates with the first sliding groove 211 to jointly form a slideway that cooperates with the first slide bar 241, allowing the first decorative piece 24 having the first slide bar 241 to more easily slide into an appropriate position along the first sliding groove 211; similarly, the second support bar 231 is used to support a part of the structure of the second slide bar 251, and it cooperates with the second sliding groove 212 to jointly form a slideway that cooperates with the second slide bar 251, allowing the second decorative piece 25 having the second slide bar 251 to more easily slide into an appropriate position along the second sliding groove 212.

[0066] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 10 to 11As shown, a support platform 214 is provided on the wall surface of the closed end of the U-shaped frame 21 and is supported between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23. Specifically, the support platform 214 is supported between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23, combined with the cross bar 213 and spaced at both ends in the length direction of the first side plate 22, so as to jointly support between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23, ensuring that there is enough space between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 for the installation of the power supply 30, and moreover, the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 will not collapse, with stable structure and strong practicability.

[0067] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4 and 10 ~11 shown, an elastic positioning mechanism 60 is provided inside the U-shaped frame 21. The elastic positioning mechanism 60 is arranged between the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23, and both ends of the elastic positioning mechanism 60 are respectively provided with a first glass bead 61 and a second glass bead 62 that can float. A first avoidance hole 223 for a part of the first glass bead 61 to extend outside the first side plate 22 is provided at the position of the first side plate 22 corresponding to the first glass bead 61, and a second avoidance hole 233 for a part of the second glass bead 62 to extend outside the second side plate 23 is provided at the position of the second side plate 23 corresponding to the second glass bead 62. A first circular groove 242 for accommodating the first glass bead 61 is provided on the inner side of the first decorative plate, and a second circular groove 252 for accommodating the second glass bead 62 is provided on the inner side of the second decorative plate. Specifically, the first glass bead 61 and the second glass bead 62 of the elastic positioning mechanism 60 have a certain elastic ability, that is, after pressing the first glass bead 61 and the second glass bead 62, the first glass bead 61 and the second glass bead 62 can exert a reaction force in the opposite direction. In this way, after the first decorative piece 24 and the second decorative piece 25 are installed, the first glass bead 61 will protrude and be accommodated in the first circular groove 242 of the first decorative piece 24 under the action of the elastic force, and the second glass bead 62 will protrude and be accommodated in the second circular groove 252 of the second decorative piece 25 under the action of the elastic force. In this way, the first decorative piece 24 can be restricted by the first glass bead 61 and the second decorative piece 25 can be restricted by the second glass bead 62, respectively, and will not easily come out of the first sliding groove 211 and the second sliding groove 212, with ingenious structural design and strong practicability.

[0068] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 10 to 11As shown, the elastic positioning mechanism 60 further includes a ball column 63, a limiting ring 64 and a spring 65. A fixing sleeve 224 is provided on the inner side of the first side plate 22. The ball column 63 is inserted and fixed in the fixing sleeve 224. The fixing sleeve 224 is used to limit the ball column 63 and provide installation for the ball column 63. And the ball column 63 is provided with a spring hole 631. Both ends of the spring hole 631 respectively form a small orifice and a large orifice. The first ball 61 is arranged in the spring hole 631 and partially extends outside the small orifice. The diameter of the small orifice is smaller than the outer diameter of the first ball 61, so as to prevent the first ball 61 from slipping out of the small diameter. The spring 65 is arranged in the spring hole 631 and one end thereof presses against the first ball 61. The second ball 62 is arranged in the limiting ring 64 and partially extends outside the limiting ring 64. The limiting ring 64 is embedded in the large orifice, and there is a tight fit between the limiting ring 64 and the large orifice. The limiting ring 64 has an inner hole, and the diameter of the inner hole is the same as that of the small orifice. Similarly, the outer diameters of the second ball 62 and the first ball 61 are the same, belonging to the same size structure. The other end of the spring 65 presses against the second ball 62. Specifically, the first ball 61 and the second ball 62 are respectively restricted by the spring hole 631 and the limiting ring 64 and will not slip out of the spring hole 631. And a spring 65 is arranged in the spring hole 631 and abuts between the first ball 61 and the second ball 62. In this way, under the action of the spring 65, the parts of the first ball 61 and the second ball 62 that are always pressed tightly respectively protrude outside the small orifice and the inner hole of the limiting ring 64. In this way, it can always be ensured that the parts of the first ball 61 and the second ball 62 are respectively accommodated in the first circular groove 242 of the first decorative piece 24 and the second circular groove 252 of the second decorative piece 25. And because the first ball 61 and the second ball 62 can easily press against the spring 65 after being stressed, it is also easy to slide out and remove the first decorative piece 24 and the second decorative piece 25, thereby facilitating the replacement of the first decorative piece 24 and the second decorative piece 25 and meeting the changing requirements of the diversified decoration of an e-cigarette product.

[0069] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4 and 10 ~11 shown, a plurality of stud bolts 222 are provided on the inner side of the first side plate 22. The second side plate 23 is provided with a plurality of screw holes 232 respectively corresponding to the positions of the stud bolts 222. The second side plate 23 is fixed to the first side plate 22 by a screw 234 passing through the corresponding screw hole 232 and the stud bolt 222. Specifically, the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 can be realized by the screw 234 passing through the corresponding screw hole 232 and the stud bolt 222. And with the support of the stud bolt 222 for the second side plate 23, the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 can be stably connected.

[0070] Another embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic cigarette, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, which includes an atomizer 10 and the above-mentioned housing assembly 20.

A smoking port 132 and an oil sealing port 133 communicating with the cigarette oil chamber 131 are respectively provided at both ends of the oil storage chamber 13. The atomizer 10 includes an atomization assembly 11. The atomization assembly 11 includes an oil sealing silica gel 111, a short organic cotton 112, a long organic cotton 113, a heating wire 114, and an oil sealing cover 14. The oil sealing cover 14 is sealed at the oil sealing port 133, and an organic cotton storage frame 143, a first air inlet hole 1411, and a first wire passing hole 1412 communicating with the organic cotton storage frame 143 are provided inside the oil sealing cover 14. Among them, the first air inlet hole 1411 is used to guide gas to enter, and the first wire passing hole 1412 is used for the end of the heating wire 114 to pass through to realize electrical connection with the power supply 30. Specifically, both the short organic cotton 112 and the long organic cotton 113 are organic cotton. The length of the short organic cotton 112 is less than the length of the long organic cotton 113, and both can be used for wetting, conducting, and storing cigarette oil.

[0072] Furthermore, as Figure 4As shown, the short organic cotton 112 and the long organic cotton 113 are stacked. The heating wire 114 is wound around the stacked short organic cotton 112 and long organic cotton 113. The short organic cotton 112 is placed inside the organic cotton storage frame 143. Both ends of the long organic cotton 113 extend outside the organic cotton storage frame 143. Both ends of the heating wire 114 pass through the first wire passing hole 1412 and extend outside the organic cotton storage frame 143. The heating wire 114 is inside the organic cotton storage frame 143. Both ends of the heating wire 114 serve as electrodes. Moreover, both ends of the heating wire 114 serving as electrodes pass through the first wire passing hole 1412, and both ends of the heating wire 114 serving as electrodes extend outside the organic cotton storage frame 143 for electrical connection to the power supply 30 during installation.

[0073] Furthermore, as Figure 4 shown, the oil-sealing silica gel 111 is sealed on the cavity opening of the organic cotton storage frame 143, and the oil-sealing silica gel 111 is provided with a first smoke exhaust port 1111 communicating with the organic cotton storage frame 143. The first smoke exhaust port 1111 communicates with the smoking port 132. The function of the oil-sealing silica gel 111 can seal the cavity opening of the organic cotton storage frame 143, so that a relatively closed chamber is formed inside the organic cotton storage frame 143. Moreover, the oil-sealing silica gel 111 is provided with a first smoke exhaust port 1111 communicating with the organic cotton storage frame 143, and the first smoke exhaust port 1111 is for the smoke formed by atomization to be discharged.

[0074] When the atomization component 11 is placed inside the atomizer 10, the organic cotton storage frame 143 will be placed inside the e-liquid chamber 131. The long organic cotton 113 extending outside the organic cotton storage frame 143 guides the e-liquid into the inner cavity of the organic cotton storage frame 143. Since the short organic cotton 112 is also placed inside the organic cotton storage frame 143, the e-liquid guided into the organic cotton storage chamber from the e-liquid chamber 131 through the long organic cotton 113 is stored under the action of the short organic cotton 112. In this way, it can be ensured that there is always e-liquid inside the organic cotton storage frame 143. Then, every time an electronic cigarette is puffed, when the resistance wire wound around the stacked long organic cotton 113 and short organic cotton 112 and located inside the organic cotton storage frame 143 is used, real-time atomization of the e-liquid can be achieved, and the problem of delayed atomization of the e-liquid will not occur, improving the atomization efficiency of the e-liquid. At the same time, the puffing experience of the electronic cigarette using the atomization component 11 of the atomizer 10 is also greatly improved.

[0075] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 4 to 6As shown in FIGS. 9, opposite ends of the organic cotton storage frame 143 are provided with organic cotton grooves 1431 through which the two ends of the long organic cotton 113 pass. Specifically, the provision of the organic cotton grooves 1431 can prevent the long organic cotton 113 extending beyond the organic cotton storage frame 143 from being pressed by the sealing oil silicone 111 against the end face of the organic cotton storage frame 143 and can effectively guide it out from the cavity of the organic cotton storage frame 143, so that the two ends of the long organic cotton 113 are immersed in the e-liquid cavity 131, thereby realizing the guiding of the e-liquid in the e-liquid cavity 131 into the organic cotton storage frame 143.

[0076] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown, the length of the short organic cotton 112 is greater than the maximum length of the inner cavity of the organic cotton storage frame 143. Specifically, with such a design, the end of the short organic cotton 112 can abut or be bent and abutted against the inner wall of the cavity of the organic cotton storage frame 143, so that the organic cotton storage frame 143 can be maximally filled with the short organic cotton 112 by extrusion. Through the short organic cotton 112, the e-liquid in the organic cotton storage frame 143 can always be temporarily stored, and each time the atomizer 10 is started, real-time atomization of the e-liquid can be achieved, avoiding the problem of delayed e-liquid atomization.

[0077] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown, the length of the two ends of the long organic cotton 113 extending beyond the organic cotton storage frame 143 is 2 mm to 3 mm. Specifically, the length of the two ends of the long organic cotton 113 extending beyond the organic cotton storage frame 143 can be 2 mm, 2.5 mm or 3 mm. With such a length design of the long organic cotton 113, it can ensure that it does not take too much time to guide the e-liquid in the e-liquid cavity 131 into the organic cotton storage frame 143, and the oil guiding effect is good; at the same time, it will not cause problems such as difficult e-liquid guiding due to insufficient length. That is to say, through numerous tests, this structural design ensures efficient oil guiding.

[0078] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 5 to 6As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the oil-sealing silica gel 111 includes a silica gel body 1112 and a clamping leg 1113 provided on one side of the silica gel body 1112. The first smoke exhaust port 1111 is provided on the silica gel body 1112. The clamping leg 1113 is embedded in the organic cotton storage frame 143, and the silica gel body 1112 is sealed on the cavity opening of the organic cotton storage frame 143. Specifically, the silica gel body 1112 and the clamping leg 1113 of the oil-sealing silica gel 111 are preferably integrally formed. The setting of the clamping leg 1113 can be embedded and connected with the organic cotton storage frame 143, thereby improving the connection stability between the entire oil-sealing silica gel 111 and the organic cotton storage frame 143. Thus, the silica gel body 1112 can also be more stably sealed on the cavity opening of the organic cotton storage frame 143, so that the inner cavity of the organic cotton storage frame 143 forms a relatively closed chamber for storing e-liquid.

[0079] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 9 shown, there are four clamping legs 1113. The silica gel body 1112 is in a rectangular structure. The four clamping legs 1113 are respectively arranged at the four corner positions on one side of the silica gel body 1112. Two of the clamping legs 1113 are clamped on one side of the long organic cotton 113, and the other two clamping legs 1113 are clamped on the other side of the long organic cotton 113. Specifically, the distance between two of the four clamping legs 1113 serves as a clamping distance for clamping the long organic cotton 113, and the distance between the other two clamping legs 1113 also serves as a clamping distance for clamping the long organic cotton 113; at the same time, the clamping distance between the clamping legs 1113 also serves to prevent the long organic cotton 113 from extending outside the organic cotton storage frame 143, effectively utilizing the clamping legs 1113, with a clever structural design and strong practicability.

[0080] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 5 to 6 shown, the atomization assembly 11 further includes a plastic cover 115. The oil-sealing silica gel 111 further includes a boss 1114 provided on the other side of the silica gel body 1112. The first smoke exhaust port 1111 penetrates through the boss 1114. The boss 1114 is embedded in the plastic cover 115. The plastic cover 115 is provided with a second smoke exhaust port 1151 communicating with the first smoke exhaust port 1111. The second smoke exhaust port 1151 is used to guide the atomized smoke to continue to be discharged from the second smoke exhaust port 1151 after passing through the first smoke exhaust port 1111. Specifically, the setting of the boss 1114 can achieve better connection with the plastic cover 115. On the one hand, the plastic cover 115 serves to connect the oil-sealing silica gel 111 and press the connection between the oil-sealing silica gel 111 and the organic cotton storage frame 143; on the other hand, the plastic cover 115 also serves to connect the atomizer 10, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire atomization assembly 11 in the atomizer 10. Preferably, the boss 1114 is also integrally formed with the silica gel body 1112.

[0081] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 4 to 6 shown, the atomizer 10 further includes an air intake structure 12. The air intake structure 12 includes a fixed seat 121 and a base silica gel 122. A first cavity 15 and a first air intake hole 1411 communicating with the first cavity 15 are provided on the oil sealing cover 14; the fixed seat 121 is provided with a second cavity 16 and a second air intake hole 12111 communicating with the second cavity 16. The fixed seat 121 is docked with the oil sealing cover 14. The first cavity 15 and the second cavity 16 jointly enclose an oil storage cavity. A baffle 1213 is further provided on the fixed seat 121 between the first air intake hole 1411 and the second air intake hole 12111; the base silica gel 122 is coated outside the oil sealing cover 14 and the fixed seat 121 and abuts against the inner wall of the oil cavity 131, and a third air intake hole 1221 communicating with the second air intake hole 12111 is provided on the base silica gel 122. Specifically, gas first enters from the third air intake hole 1221, and then enters the second cavity 16 through the second air intake hole 12111. Since the baffle 1213 is provided on the fixed seat 121 between the first air intake hole 1411 and the second air intake hole 12111, at this time, the gas will not directly enter the first air intake hole 1411. Under the action of the baffle 1213, the gas flows from the second air intake hole 12111 to both sides of the second cavity 16, then enters both sides of the first cavity 15 where the first air intake hole 1411 is located, and then is discharged from the first air intake hole 1411. While ensuring the normal flow of gas, it avoids the oil from entering through the first air intake hole 1411 and directly discharging from the second air intake hole 12111 and flowing out along the third air intake hole 1221 to form oil leakage; that is to say, even if the oil enters from the first air inlet, it will drip on the baffle 1213 and be temporarily stored in the oil storage cavity jointly enclosed by the first cavity 15 and the second cavity 16 under the guiding action of the baffle 1213, avoiding oil leakage.

[0082] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 5 to 6 shown, the oil sealing cover 14 includes a sealing plate 141 and a first frame plate 142 provided on one side of the sealing plate 141. The first frame plate 142 and the sealing plate 141 jointly enclose the first cavity 15, and the first air intake hole 1411 is provided on the sealing plate 141. Specifically, the sealing plate 141 mainly serves to seal the oil cavity 131 of the atomizer 10, while the first cavity 15 is provided on the side facing away from the oil cavity 131. The first cavity 15 has a certain accommodation space and communicates with the first air intake hole 1411. The first cavity 15 at least serves to guide the gas through the first air intake hole 1411.

[0083] Further, the fixing base 121 includes a base plate 1211 and a second frame plate 1212 disposed on the peripheral side of the base plate 1211. The second frame plate 1212 and the base plate 1211 cooperate to enclose and form the second cavity 16. The second air inlet hole 12111 is disposed on the base plate 1211. The baffle plate 1213 spans across opposite ends of the second frame plate 1212. Specifically, the main function of the fixing base 121 is to form the second cavity 16 and dock with the first cavity 15 of the oil seal cover 14 to form a relatively enclosed e-liquid storage cavity. More importantly, a baffle plate 1213 arranged across is provided on the second frame plate 1212 of the fixing base 121. The baffle plate 1213 is located between the first air inlet hole 1411 and the second air inlet hole 12111, and functions to prevent e-liquid from directly entering the second air inlet hole 12111 from the first air inlet hole 1411. In addition, the formed e-liquid storage cavity can be used to store e-liquid, and in combination with the baffle plate 1213, oil leakage can be effectively avoided.

[0084] Further, the base silicone 122 covers the base plate 1211, the second frame plate 1212, and the first frame plate 142. Specifically, the base silicone 122 has good toughness. Through its covering, the docking of the first frame plate 142 and the second frame plate 1212 can be made more stable, the sealing performance of the formed e-liquid storage cavity at the docking part is better, and the original base silicone 122 that originally played a sealing role is effectively utilized. Without adding other structures and volume, the original components are effectively utilized, which is beneficial to the design of a miniaturized structure.

[0085] In this embodiment, the first cavity 15 is formed by the first frame plate 142 protruding from one side of the sealing plate 141, and the second cavity 16 is formed by the second frame plate 1212 protruding from one side of the base plate 1211. The cross-sectional shapes and areas of the first cavity 15 and the second cavity 16 are the same. Through such a design, it can be ensured that the first cavity 15 and the second cavity 16 are completely aligned after docking, thereby improving the sealing performance of the e-liquid storage cavity. At the same time, since the cross-sectional area of the first frame plate 142 is slightly smaller than the planar area of the sealing plate 141, a step can be formed between the first frame plate 142 and the sealing plate 141, which is beneficial to the covering and fixing of the base silicone 122 on the base plate 1211, the second frame plate 1212, and the first frame plate 142.

[0086] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 5 to 6As shown, on both sides of the first air inlet hole 1411 on the sealing plate 141, first wire passing holes are provided. On both sides of the second air inlet hole 12111 on the seat plate 1211, second wire passing holes 12112 are provided. On both sides of the third air inlet hole 1221 on the base silicone 122, third wire passing holes 1222 are provided. Outside the base silicone 122, an atomization electrode 1223 is inserted at the positions corresponding to the third wire passing holes 1222 and the second wire passing holes 12112. The atomization electrode 1223 is hermetically connected to the corresponding third wire passing holes 1222 and the second wire passing holes 12112. Specifically, there are usually two first wire passing holes, second wire passing holes 12112, and third wire passing holes 1222, and they are respectively arranged correspondingly, so that two electrode wires can pass through, and thus the power supply 30 of the electronic cigarette can be electrically connected to the heating wire 114 located in the e-liquid cavity 131 to achieve the atomization effect. The atomization electrode 1223 provided outside the base silicone 122 can play the role of connecting the power supply 30, and can also seal the third wire passing holes 1222 and the second wire passing holes 12112 to prevent air leakage and oil leakage problems in the third wire passing holes 1222 and the second wire passing holes 12112.

[0087] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1 to 2 shown, the inner end of the atomization electrode 1223 extends into the second-shaped cavity 16. Specifically, the atomization electrode 1223 extending into the second-shaped cavity 16 forms a smaller groove with its adjacent side wall, and this groove can accommodate the e-liquid entering the second-shaped cavity 16 and prevent it from easily flowing into the second air inlet hole 12111, thereby preventing oil leakage.

[0088] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 5 to 6 shown, the first frame plate 142 is provided with avoidance openings 1421 for accommodating the two end portions of the baffle plate 1213. Specifically, the provision of the avoidance openings 1421 can provide space for accommodating the two end portions of the baffle plate 1213, so that the docking between the first frame plate 142 and the second frame plate 1212 is closer, reducing the risk of oil leakage at the docking position between the first frame plate 142 and the second frame plate 1212.

[0089] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 5 to 6 shown, on the other side of the sealing plate 141, there is an organic cotton storage frame 143 for storing organic cotton. Specifically, the organic cotton storage frame 143 is used to store organic cotton, and thus can position the organic cotton, avoiding excessive displacement of the organic cotton and affecting the normal use of the atomizer 10.

[0090] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 5 to 6As shown, the opening of the second air inlet 12111 is larger than the opening of the first air inlet 1411 and the opening of the third air inlet 1221. Specifically, the second air inlet 12111 is designed to be larger so that the gas entering from the third air inlet 1221 can be effectively diverted from the second cavity 16, enter the first cavity 15 from both sides, and enter the first air inlet 1411 from the first cavity 15, so that the air intake efficiency, the atomization efficiency and the atomization effect can be improved.

[0091] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the outer periphery of the base silicone 122 is provided with a plurality of sealing abutment ribs 1224. Specifically, the setting of the sealing abutment ribs 1224 can achieve abutment with the inner wall of the smoke oil chamber 131 of the atomizer 10 when it is placed in the atomizer 10, so as to play a sealing role and avoid oil leakage at this position.

[0092] Another embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic cigarette, which includes the atomization assembly 11 of the atomizer 10. Specifically, in the electronic cigarette of the present invention, since it has the atomization assembly 11 of the atomizer 10, it can realize real-time atomization of the e-liquid, and there will be no problem of delayed atomization of the e-liquid, thereby improving the atomization efficiency of the e-liquid, and also greatly improving the smoking experience of the electronic cigarette using the atomizer 10.

[0093] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
