The cartridge assembly includes a cartridge housing 1 and a cartridge cover 17. The cartridge housing 1 and the cartridge cover 17 are spliced together. An oil storage tube 3 is further provided in the cartridge housing 1, and an oil storage cotton 4 is provided in the oil storage tube 3. A heating wire assembly 5 is provided in the oil storage cotton 4 for heating the oil storage cotton 4. A smoking port 18 is further provided at the end of the cartridge housing 1, an air intake seat bracket 8 is provided in the cartridge housing 1, and an air intake seat bracket 8 is provided in the air intake seat bracket 8. An air inlet cavity 7 is provided, in which a cigarette cartridge oil-absorbing cotton 9 is provided, a first air path 10 is further provided on the outside of the air inlet seat bracket 8, and the first air path 10 is connected to the air inlet cavity 7, and the first air path 10 is located at one end of the air inlet cavity 7 higher than the cigarette cartridge oil-absorbing cotton 9, an air inlet hole connected to the first air path 10 is provided on the outside of the cigarette cartridge housing 1, and the battery assembly includes a battery housing 16 and a battery cover 15, and the battery housing 16 and the battery cover 15 are spliced together, and a battery block 14 is placed in the battery housing 16, and further includes:

[0027] A fixing mechanism is provided between the cigarette cartridge assembly and the battery assembly, and is used to connect the cigarette cartridge assembly and the battery assembly;

[0028] The conductive mechanism is provided between the cigarette cartridge assembly and the battery assembly, and is used to enable the battery assembly to supply power to the cigarette cartridge assembly;

[0029] The trigger mechanism is arranged in the battery assembly and is used to trigger the heating wire assembly 5 to heat the oil storage cotton 4 during suction.

[0030] When the electronic cigarette is needed, the battery assembly and the cigarette cartridge assembly can be combined, and the battery assembly and the cigarette cartridge assembly can be spliced together under the action of the fixing mechanism. When the battery assembly and the cigarette cartridge assembly are combined, the battery assembly can be prompted to power the cigarette cartridge assembly through the conductive mechanism, and then the inhalation operation can be performed through the smoking port 18. When inhaling, the outside air enters the first air path 10 through the air inlet hole on the outside of the cigarette cartridge shell 1, and enters the air inlet cavity 7 along the first air path 10. Under the flow of gas, the trigger mechanism can be driven to work, so that the heating wire assembly 5 is heated, and the smoke oil in the oil storage cotton 4 is discharged. Atomization forms smoke, and under the action of suction, the smoke is sucked out through the smoking port 18 to complete the suction action. When the suction is stopped, no gas enters the cigarette cartridge assembly, and the heating wire assembly 5 will automatically stop heating, which is very convenient to use. When the smoke oil flows down due to condensation, the cigarette cartridge oil-absorbing cotton 9 can absorb the smoke oil to ensure that the smoke oil condensate does not enter the battery assembly, effectively protecting the trigger mechanism from being damaged. At the same time, during transportation, the battery assembly and the cigarette cartridge assembly can be isolated or separated, so that the device is in an unpowered state, effectively avoiding self-starting caused by the electronic cigarette, and having a better use effect.

When air enters the air intake chamber 7 along the first air path 10, a pressure difference will be formed in the second air path 11 under the flow of gas, thereby driving the microphone sensor 12 to work, causing the heating wire assembly 5 to heat up, and then causing the smoke oil in the oil storage cotton 4 to be atomized to form smoke, completing the conversion of the smoke oil into smoke.

[0032] As an embodiment of the present invention, the inner diameter of the second air path 11 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first air path 10, and the end position of the second air path 11 is higher than the end position of the first air path 10. When the oil-absorbing cotton 9 of the cigarette cartridge can no longer absorb the smoke oil, since the inner diameter of the second air path 11 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first air path 10, and the end position of the second air path 11 is higher than the end position of the first air path 10, under the action of gravity, the liquid will flow in the direction of less resistance, so that the smoke oil can only be discharged along the first air path 10, and will not enter the second air path 11 to cause damage to the microphone sensor 12, and the use effect is better.

[0033] As an embodiment of the present invention, the fixing mechanism includes a first magnet 21 arranged on the outer wall of the cigarette cartridge cover 17 and a second magnet 22 arranged on the outer wall of the battery cover 15. The first magnet 21 and the second magnet 22 are attracted to each other. When the battery assembly and the cigarette cartridge assembly are fitted together, the first magnet 21 will be attracted to the second magnet 22, thereby connecting the battery assembly and the cigarette cartridge assembly, which is very convenient to use.

The outer wall of the cigarette cartridge cover 17 is provided with an electrode 20 that cooperates with the spring pin 19. When the battery assembly and the cigarette cartridge assembly are fitted together, the spring pin 19 will contact the electrode 20, automatically realizing power supply to the cigarette cartridge assembly, and the use effect is better.

[0035] As an embodiment of the present invention, the heating wire assembly 5 is electrically connected to a switch, and the switch is electrically connected to a controller, the microphone sensor 12 and the controller are electrically connected, and the switch and the electrode 20 are electrically connected. The specific structure of the controller is not limited. In this embodiment, preferably, the controller adopts a microprogram controller.

[0036] As an embodiment of the present invention, a PCB assembly is provided in the battery housing 16, and a charging port connected to the PCB assembly is provided on the outside of the battery housing 16. The battery block 14 can be charged through the charging port, so that the battery can be recycled and the use effect is better.

[0037] As an embodiment of the present invention, a cigarette cartridge upper silicone 2 is provided between the smoking port 18 and the oil storage tube 3, and the cigarette cartridge upper silicone 2 and the smoking port 18 and the oil storage tube 3 are all interference fit.

[0038] When it is necessary to use the electronic cigarette, the battery assembly and the cigarette cartridge assembly can be combined, and the battery assembly and the cigarette cartridge assembly can be spliced together under the action of the fixing mechanism. When the battery assembly and the cigarette cartridge assembly are combined, the spring needle 19 will contact the electrode 20, automatically realizing the power supply to the cigarette cartridge assembly, and then the suction operation can be performed through the smoking port 18. When inhaling, the outside air enters the first air path 10 through the air inlet hole on the outside of the cigarette cartridge shell 1, and enters the air inlet chamber 7 along the first air path 10. Under the flow of gas, a pressure difference will be formed in the second air path 11, thereby driving the microphone sensor 12 to work, causing the heating wire assembly 5 to heat up, and then the smoke in the oil storage cotton 4 is atomized to form smoke, completing the conversion of the smoke oil into smoke, and under the action of suction, the smoke is sucked out through the smoking port 18 to complete the suction action. When you stop inhaling, there is no gas When the e-cigarette enters the cartridge assembly, the heating wire assembly 5 will automatically stop heating, which is very convenient to use. When the e-liquid flows downward due to condensation, the e-cigarette oil-absorbing cotton 9 can absorb the e-liquid to ensure that the e-liquid condensate does not enter the battery assembly, effectively protecting the trigger mechanism from damage. When the e-cigarette oil-absorbing cotton 9 can no longer absorb the e-liquid, since the inner diameter of the second air path 11 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first air path 10, and the end position of the second air path 11 is higher than the end of the first air path 10, under the action of gravity, the liquid will flow in the direction of smaller resistance, so that the e-liquid can only be discharged along the first air path 10, and will not enter the second air path 11 to cause damage to the microphone sensor 12. At the same time, during transportation, the battery assembly and the e-cigarette assembly can be isolated or separated, so that the device is in an unpowered state, effectively avoiding self-starting caused by the electronic cigarette, and having a better use effect.

This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
