[0002] Electronic cigarettes, also known as virtual cigarettes and electronic atomizers, are mainly used to quit smoking and replace cigarettes. They have the same appearance and taste as cigarettes, and even have many more flavors than ordinary cigarettes. They can also inhale smoke, taste and feel like cigarettes. Electronic cigarettes are imitation cigarette devices composed of lithium batteries, atomizers and cigarette cartridges. The atomizer turns the liquid containing nicotine into mist, which is directly inhaled without producing smoke in the process. Electronic cigarettes do not have other harmful ingredients such as tar and suspended particles in cigarettes. Therefore, electronic cigarettes will not produce diffuse or lingering second-hand smoke.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures, technologies, etc. are provided for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to prevent unnecessary details from obstructing the description of the present invention.

[0031] refer to Figure 1and Figure 2 The electronic cigarette 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: a voltage detection module, an atomization assembly 130, a control component 120 and a connector 110; the atomization assembly 130, the control component 120 and the connector 110 are electrically connected in sequence; the atomization assembly 130 includes an oil storage tank 131 and an atomization core 132; the atomization core 132 is electrically connected to the control component 120, and the oil storage tank 131 is connected to the atomization core 132 to provide tobacco oil for the atomization core 132; the control component 120 is used to control the start and stop of the atomization assembly 130; the connector 110 is used to connect an external power supply; the voltage detection module is electrically connected to the control component 120 to detect the voltage of the control component 120.

[0032] In this way, the atomizer assembly 130, the control component 120 and the connector 110 are electrically connected in sequence, and the connector 110 is connected to an external power source, and the control component 120 is provided with electric energy through the external power source, so that the atomizer assembly 130 atomizes the tobacco oil. The battery is avoided from being arranged inside the electronic cigarette 100, and the volume of the electronic cigarette 100 is reduced. In addition, the voltage of the external power source is relatively stable, which prevents the problem of inconsistent taste of the electronic cigarette 100 due to voltage drop in the later stage of use. A voltage detection module is also provided, and the voltage detection module is electrically connected to the control component 120 to detect the voltage in the control component 120. The control component 120 can adjust the voltage to ensure the power consistency of the atomizer core 132 during use.

[0033] The voltage detection module can detect the voltage value in the control unit 120, so that the control unit 120 controls the voltage within a certain range, such as 5V or 3.5V, to ensure that the atomizer core 132 can maintain a stable voltage, thereby ensuring the user's taste.

[0034] When the user uses the electronic cigarette 100, the user needs to electrically connect the connector 110 to an external power source, and then the external power source provides power to the electronic cigarette 100. When the user smokes the electronic cigarette 100, the oil in the oil storage tank 131 penetrates into the atomizer core 132, and is then atomized into smoke by the atomizer core 132. In this way, since the lithium battery is reduced, the space occupied by the electronic cigarette 100 is reduced, and the user can conveniently carry the electronic cigarette 100. When the user wants to smoke the electronic cigarette 100, he only needs to find the corresponding plug interface to use it. Of course, in order for the user to use the electronic cigarette 100 more conveniently, the connector 110 can be set as a plug that matches a computer or mobile phone charger.

[0035] The control element 120 includes a printed circuit board. A printed circuit board (PCB) is an important electronic component, a support for electronic components, and a provider of electrical connections for electronic components. Using a printed circuit board to control the opening and closing of the electronic cigarette 100 has low cost and high intelligence.

[0036] The structure of the atomizer core 132 is a columnar structure, and the oil storage tank 131 is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the atomizer core 132 to form an airflow channel 133. The cross-sectional shape of the columnar structure is one of a circle, a rectangle, a pentagon or a hexagon. The oil storage tank 131 is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the atomizer core 132, and the oil storage tank 131 encloses the atomizer core 132, so that the smoke oil in the oil storage tank 131 can flow into the atomizer core 132, and then be atomized into smoke by the atomizer core 132, and the smoke is discharged from the airflow channel 133, and then inhaled by the human body.

[0037] The electronic cigarette 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be used by plugging into an external power source through the connector 110. Of course, in order to accurately control the start-up of the atomizer core 132, an air pressure sensor can also be set in the air flow channel 133. The air pressure sensor detects the change of air pressure, thereby transmitting the air pressure signal to the control component 120, so that the control component 120 controls the start-up of the atomizer core 132. The air pressure sensor is electrically connected to the control component 120. The air pressure sensor has a high sensitivity. When the user aims at the air flow channel 133 to inhale, the air pressure sensor can detect the slight change of air flow in the air flow channel 133, thereby achieving start-up.

[0038] The columnar structure has a hollow inner cavity 134 and two through holes, and the two through holes are respectively arranged at the two ends of the columnar structure. The two through holes are connected to the hollow inner cavity 134, and the hollow inner cavity 134 is connected to the air flow channel 133. The columnar structure includes a hollow inner cavity 134 and two through holes. The smoke oil penetrates into the atomization core 132 from one end of the atomization core 132, and then the atomization core 132 atomizes the smoke oil. The atomized smoke enters the air flow channel 133 from the hollow inner cavity 134 and is then discharged from the air flow channel 133. The opening shape of the through hole can be set to one of the shapes of rectangle, circle, pentagon, etc. It is also possible to set the opening shapes of the two through holes to be the same, so that the smoke can be quickly discharged from the hollow inner cavity 134. Of course, the opening shapes of the two through holes can also be set to be different. In this way, the rate of smoke flow can be regulated to improve the user experience.

[0039] The atomizer core 132 includes a ceramic atomizer core or a cotton core. The ceramic atomizer core has good heat resistance, and ceramic is a porous material, which can make the smoke oil atomized to a higher degree and provide a better user experience.

[0040] The electronic cigarette 100 further includes a cover (not shown), which covers the atomizer assembly 130, and the cover is detachably connected to the atomizer assembly 130. The cover and the atomizer assembly 130 may be bolted, snap-fitted, or rotatably connected.

[0041] The cover is a transparent cover. The oil storage bin 131 can also be set as a transparent oil storage bin 131, so that the user can observe the capacity and remaining amount of the oil in the oil storage bin 131 at any time. And without opening the cover, the user can also know the remaining amount of oil in the oil storage bin 131 at any time, which is convenient for the user to use the electronic cigarette 100 and replace the electronic cigarette 100 in time.

[0042] The transparent cover includes transparent plastic or transparent glass. Transparent plastic or transparent glass has low cost and the raw materials are easy to obtain. The cover made of transparent plastic can also reduce the weight of the electronic cigarette 100.

[0043] The connector 110 includes a card slot structure having a card contact point, which can be tightly connected to an external interface to prevent the connector 110 from loosening from an external power source during use, thereby affecting the use experience of the electronic cigarette 100.

[0044] The embodiment of the present application provides an atomization device, including a portable power source and an electronic cigarette 100, wherein the portable power source is electrically connected to a connector 110. The portable power source is electrically connected to the electronic cigarette 100, thereby utilizing the electrical energy in the portable power source to provide sufficient power for the electronic cigarette 100.

[0045] Portable power sources include mobile power sources, such as external power sources such as power banks. Power banks are portable charging tools that users must have, and they are easy to obtain. Power banks can be charged multiple times and provide power continuously. Power banks can also provide power for multiple electronic cigarettes 100, and multiple external interfaces need only be added to the power banks.

[0046] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, the above technical features can be freely combined without departing from the concept of the present invention, and several deformations and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the present invention should belong to the coverage of the claims of the present invention.
