Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electronic cigarettes, and in particular to an electronic cigarette with an elastic network tube structure and a molding method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A commonly used electronic cigarette at present is also called an aerosol generating device, which includes an atomizer and a battery body. The atomizer is fixed to the upper surface of the battery body by threads. The atomizer includes a base, a smoke channel is provided in the center of the base, an atomizer core is provided in the smoke channel, a mouthpiece is provided on the upper part of the smoke channel, an outer shell is provided at the edge of the base, an oil tank is formed between the inner wall of the outer shell and the outer wall of the smoke channel, an oil inlet hole is provided in the smoke channel, the smoke oil flows to the atomizer core through the oil inlet hole, and the smoke oil flows out through the mouthpiece after atomization. The base also has an air inlet hole, which is located below the smoke channel, and the two are connected to facilitate the continuous replenishment of external air to the atomizer core. The atomizer core includes oil-guide cotton and a heating wire wrapped around the oil-guide cotton. The oil in the oil tank flows to the two ends of the oil-guide cotton through the oil inlet hole, and then flows in the middle position of the oil-guide cotton. The heating wire generates heat and continuously atomizes the oil adsorbed by the oil-guide cotton. However, the speed and amount of oil replenishment in the middle position of the oil-guide cotton require a certain amount of time. In addition, due to the thermal field, the temperature in the middle position of the heating wire is the highest. Therefore, after long-term use, the middle position of the oil-guide cotton is bound to dry burn due to insufficient oil, causing the oil-guide cotton in the middle position to burn, which in turn causes abnormal taste of the oil after atomization. In particular, the oil-guide cotton after dry burning will form a concave area due to the burning of the cotton. At this time, the heating wire outside the concave area cannot contact the oil-guide cotton, let alone heat the atomized oil, which can easily cause the heating wire to burn out, and eventually lead to the failure of the atomizer core.

[0003] Therefore, in view of the above problems, it is necessary to design an atomizer core to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide an elastic mesh tube structure and a forming method thereof, which has the characteristics of sufficient oil supply and anti-dry burning.

[0005] The present invention provides an elastic network management structure, which includes:

[0006] An elastic tube body having an inner wall and an outer wall, with an oil guide hole extending between the inner wall and the outer wall;

[0007] a liquid guide member, covering the outer wall;

[0008] a heating component, disposed on the outside of the liquid-conducting component;

[0009] The elastic tube is in a compressed state during the installation process, and its diameter is D1. When the installation is completed, the elastic tube is released and its diameter expands to D2, where D2>D1.

[0010] The liquid-guiding member is oil-guiding cotton, which is wound around the outer wall of the elastic tube body; the heating component is a heating wire, which is wound / sheathed around the outer side of the oil-guiding cotton.

[0011] The liquid-guiding member is an oil-guiding cotton, which is hollow and cylindrical. The hollow and cylindrical oil-guiding cotton abuts against the outer wall of the elastic tube body. The heating component is a heating wire, which is wrapped / sleeved on the outside of the oil-guiding cotton.

[0012] A method for forming an elastic mesh tube structure comprises the following steps:

[0013] An elastic tube is provided, which has an inner wall and an outer wall, and an oil guide hole is formed between the inner wall and the outer wall. The elastic tube is in a compressed state and has a diameter D1;

[0014] A liquid guide is wound around the outer wall of the elastic tube, and the liquid guide is wound to form a certain thickness;

[0015] Wrap the heating wire around the outside of a liquid guide with a certain thickness, or wrap the heating wire / heating sheet around the outside of the liquid guide;

[0016] The elastic tube is released and its diameter expands to D2, where D2>D1.

[0017] The guide is oil-conducting cotton, which is in sheet or line shape. The elastic tube body of the liquid part is controlled by a jig to be in a compressed state, or to release the compressed state, so that the diameter of the elastic tube body becomes larger.

[0018] The elastic tube body is a mesh tube. When an external force is applied by a jig to squeeze the mesh tube, the value in the axial direction is smaller and the value in the radial direction becomes larger.

[0019] A method for forming an elastic mesh tube structure comprises the following steps:

[0020] An elastic tube is provided, which has an inner wall and an outer wall, and an oil guide hole is formed between the inner wall and the outer wall. The elastic tube is in a compressed state and has a diameter D1;

[0021] A liquid guiding piece is provided, which is in a hollow cylindrical shape, and is sheathed on the outer wall of the elastic tube, or the elastic tube is installed in the hollow liquid guiding piece;

[0022] Wrap the heating wire around the outside of the liquid guide member having a certain thickness, or cover the heating wire around the outside of the liquid guide member;

[0023] The elastic tube is released and its diameter expands to D2, where D2>D1.

[0024] The elastic tube body is a mesh tube. When an external force is applied by a jig to squeeze the mesh tube, the value in the axial direction is smaller and the value in the radial direction becomes larger.

[0025] The elastic tube body of the present invention is in a compressed state during the installation process, and its diameter is D1. When the installation is completed, the elastic tube body is released and its diameter expands to D2, where D2>D1. At this time, the elastic tube body squeezes the inner side of the liquid guide part outward, and the heating component squeezes the outer side of the liquid guide part inward, squeezing the liquid guide part inside and outside at the same time. Through the design of the oil guide hole, the smoke oil adsorbed by the oil guide cotton at various locations is ensured to be balanced, and the oil guide cotton is prevented from being locally dry-burned. In particular, the temperature in the middle of the heating wire is higher, and the oil guide cotton is prevented from being scorched in the middle due to the high temperature of the heating wire. Through the design of squeezing the oil guide cotton inside and outside, even if the oil guide cotton is locally scorched to form a collapsed or concave area due to the burning of the cotton, since the heating wire outside the concave area is still squeezing the outer side of the oil guide cotton, and the elastic tube body is also squeezing the inner side of the oil guide cotton, the collapsed and concave area will soon be filled by the squeezed oil guide cotton, and the heating wire will contact the oil guide cotton again, preventing the heating wire from being dry-burned.

[0026] The present invention also provides a forming method for an elastic mesh tube structure, in which the elastic tube body is controlled by a jig to be in a compressed state, and its diameter is D1. After assembly, the elastic tube body is released, and its diameter expands to D2, where D2>D1. The operation is simple and convenient for batch operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] like Figures 1-4 The present invention mainly relates to electronic cigarettes, which can generally be understood as an aerosol generator and an electronic cigarette oil atomization and evaporation device, that is, the process of changing from liquid to gas is achieved by heating the cigarette oil, and then the smoke is inhaled into the human mouth.

[0034] An embodiment of the present invention provides an elastic mesh tube structure and a forming method thereof, which includes: an elastic tube body 1, which has an inner wall 13 and an outer wall 14, and an oil guide hole 11 is provided between the inner wall 13 and the outer wall 14; a liquid guide member 2, which is covered on the outer wall 14; a heating component 3 (also called a heating component), which is arranged on the outside of the liquid guide member 2; wherein, the elastic tube body 1 is in a compressed state during the installation process, and its diameter is D1. When the installation is completed, the elastic tube body 1 is released and its diameter expands to D2, and D2>D1.

[0035] The liquid-guiding part 2 is oil-guiding cotton, which can be divided into two types. The following examples illustrate the two types. The liquid-guiding part 2 is oil-guiding cotton. The first type is linear or sheet-shaped. The oil-guiding cotton is wound around the outer wall 14 of the elastic tube body 1. The heating component 3 is a heating wire, which is wound / sleeved around the outside of the oil-guiding cotton. The oil-guiding cotton is wound around the elastic tube body 1 in a linear form. The oil-guiding cotton can also be made of a piece of cotton or a flat surface that has been prepared and then wrapped / wrapped around the elastic tube body 1. The liquid-guiding part 2 is oil-guiding cotton, which is hollow and cylindrical. The oil-guiding cotton has been pressed and formed into a cylindrical shape at this time. The forming method can be pressing, stretching, mold forming, etc. The hollow cylindrical oil-guiding cotton abuts against the outer wall 14 of the elastic tube body 1. The heating component 3 is a heating wire, which is wound / sleeved around the outside of the oil-guiding cotton.

[0036] A method for forming an elastic mesh tube structure comprises the following steps:

[0037] An elastic tube 1 is provided, which has an inner wall 13 and an outer wall 14. An oil guide hole 11 is formed between the inner wall 13 and the outer wall 14. The elastic tube 1 is in a compressed state and has a diameter D1.

[0038] A liquid guide 2 is wound around the outer wall 14 of the elastic tube 1, and the liquid guide 2 is wound to form a certain thickness;

[0039] Wrap the heating wire around the outside of the liquid guide 2 with a certain thickness, or cover the heating wire / heating sheet on the outside of the liquid guide 2;

[0040] When the elastic tube 1 is released, its diameter expands to D2, where D2>D1.

[0041] The guide is oil-conducting cotton, which is in sheet or thread form. The elastic tube body 1 of the liquid component is controlled by a jig to compress or release the compression state, thereby increasing the diameter of the elastic tube body 1. The elastic tube body 1 is a mesh tube. When squeezed by the jig, the mesh tube's axial value decreases and its radial value increases. Taking the elastic elastic mesh tube as an example, the elastic mesh tube 1 is initially wrapped around the outer periphery of the elastic tube body 1, then wrapped with a heating wire. Finally, by squeezing the ends of the elastic mesh tube, the elastic mesh tube contracts and begins to expand, squeezing the inner side of the oil-conducting cotton. The jig can also be an inflatable trachea. When the trachea is not inflated or underinflated, the trachea is inserted into the elastic tube body, and the outer side of the trachea is then covered with oil-conducting cotton. When the diameter of the elastic tube body needs to be increased, the trachea is filled with sufficient gas, and the trachea expands, pushing the elastic tube body to expand, increasing the diameter of the elastic tube. The gas in the trachea is then extracted, and the trachea can be removed.

[0042] A method for forming an elastic mesh tube structure comprises the following steps:

[0043] An elastic tube 1 is provided, which has an inner wall 13 and an outer wall 14. An oil guide hole 11 is formed between the inner wall 13 and the outer wall 14. The elastic tube 1 is in a compressed state and has a diameter D1.

[0044] A liquid guiding member 2 is provided. The liquid guiding member 2 is in a hollow cylindrical shape. The liquid guiding member 2 is placed on the outer wall 14 of the elastic tube 1, or the elastic tube 1 is placed into the hollow liquid guiding member 2.

[0045] Wrap the heating wire around the outside of the liquid guide 2 with a certain thickness, or cover the heating wire around the outside of the liquid guide 2;

[0046] The elastic tube 1 is released and its diameter expands to D2, where D2>D1. The elastic tube 1 is a mesh tube. When the jig applies external force to squeeze the mesh tube, the axial value of the mesh tube is smaller and the radial value is larger.

[0047] 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, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
