The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0049] The following will be combined with the attached examples of the present application Figure 1 -Attached Fig.24 , clearly and completely describe each technical solution in the embodiments of this application.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present application provides an electronic cigarette 1000, which includes a main shell 20, an atomizer assembly 30 and an oil supply assembly 10, wherein the main shell 20 has an installation cavity 21, and the atomizer assembly 30 is located in the installation cavity 21 to generate smoke required for the operation of the electronic cigarette 1000.

[0051] The oil supply assembly 10 has a disassembled state and an assembled state, wherein the disassembled state and the assembled state of the oil supply assembly 10 correspond to two different usage scenarios of the oil supply assembly 10 .

[0052] For reference Figures 1 to 3 ,in, Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of the electronic cigarette 1000 when the oil supply assembly 10 is in an assembled state, Figure 2 for Figure 1 Explosion diagram of the electronic cigarette 1000, Figure 3 (a) in Figure 1 Side view of the electronic cigarette 1000, Figure 3 (b) in Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the electronic cigarette 1000 along line MM in (a).

[0053] The assembly state of the oil supply assembly 10 refers to the state of the oil supply assembly 10 when the electronic cigarette 1000 uses the oil supply assembly 10, that is, at this time, the oil supply assembly 10 can provide the electronic cigarette 1000 with the smoke it needs. When the oil supply assembly 10 is in the assembly state, the oil supply assembly 10 is located in the installation cavity 21. At this time, the atomizer assembly 30 can atomize the smoke stored in the oil supply assembly 10, and the oil supply assembly 10 supplies the smoke required for the operation of the electronic cigarette 1000.

[0054] For reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 ,in, Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic cigarette 1000 when the oil supply assembly 10 is disassembled. Fig. 9 (a) in Figure 8 Side view of the electronic cigarette 1000, Fig. 9 (b) in Figure 8 A cross-sectional view of the electronic cigarette 1000 along line LL in (a).

[0055] The disassembled state of the oil supply assembly 10 refers to the state of the oil supply assembly 10 relative to other structures of the electronic cigarette 1000 when the electronic cigarette 1000 does not need to use the oil supply assembly 10 temporarily. At this time, the oil supply assembly 10 is stored separately as an independent individual, and the atomized smoke required by the electronic cigarette 1000 comes from the smoke oil in the atomizer assembly 30. When the oil supply assembly 10 is in the disassembled state, the oil supply assembly 10 is located outside the installation cavity 21. In other words, at this time, the electronic cigarette 1000 is not installed with the oil supply assembly 10, and the oil supply assembly 10 can be moved independently at this time, and has no mutual constraint relationship with the above-mentioned main housing 20 and atomizer assembly 30.

[0056] Based on the above content, it can be known that the oil supply assembly 10 is detachably connected to the main shell 20 of the electronic cigarette 1000. When the user uses the electronic cigarette 1000, if the oil reserve of the electronic cigarette 1000 is insufficient, the oil supply assembly 10 can be replaced to replenish the oil required by the electronic cigarette 1000.

[0057] In the embodiments of this part, due to the detachability of the oil supply assembly 10, when the user needs to increase the oil volume of the electronic cigarette 1000, the user can quickly and conveniently replenish the oil reserve required by the electronic cigarette 1000 by replacing the oil supply assembly 10, thereby reducing the operational difficulty of the user when replenishing the oil required by the electronic cigarette 1000, and does not affect the user's experience of using the electronic cigarette 1000 after replacing the oil supply assembly 10.

[0058] For reference Figures 4 to 7 ,in, Figure 4 is an independent structural schematic diagram of the oil supply component 10, Figure 5 for Figure 4 Exploded diagram of Figure 6 for Figure 4 A side view of the device (excluding the second seal 13) and a cross-sectional view along the CC line, wherein: Figure 6 (a) in Figure 4 A side view of the oil supply assembly 10 without the second seal 13, Figure 6 (b) is the cross-sectional view along the CC line in (a), Figure 7 for Figure 4 The side view and the cross-sectional view along the DD line, where: Figure 7 (a) in Figure 4 A side view of the oil supply assembly 10, Figure 7 In the figure, (b) is a cross-sectional view along line DD in (a).

[0059] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the oil supply assembly 10 includes a first suction nozzle 11 , and the first suction nozzle 11 is used for the user to inhale the smoke generated by the operation of the electronic cigarette 1000 .

[0060] The oil supply assembly 10 further includes a first shell 110 . The first shell 110 has a first receiving cavity 111 . The first receiving cavity 111 is used to provide the oil storage space required by the oil supply assembly 10 and the installation space required by other structures.

[0061] The oil supply assembly 10 further includes a first oil storage member 12, which is located in the first receiving chamber 111 to store the smoke oil. The first oil storage member 12 has a first receiving chamber 121, which is connected to the inner chamber of the first suction nozzle 11. When the oil supply assembly 10 is in an assembled state, the first receiving chamber 121 can avoid the atomizer assembly 30, and the atomizer assembly 30 is at least partially disposed in the first receiving chamber 121. The atomizer assembly 30 is used to atomize the smoke oil stored in the first receiving chamber 121, and the user can inhale smoke through the first suction nozzle 11.

[0062] It should be noted that when the oil supply assembly 10 is in the assembled state, the oil in the first accommodating chamber 121 comes from the oil stored in the first oil storage member 12, and this part of the oil can move to fill the space left by the used oil.

[0063] Since the oil supply assembly 10 can be independent of other structures of the electronic cigarette 1000, the oil supply assembly 10 can be designed correspondingly according to the structural characteristics of the electronic cigarette 1000 product, and the oil supply assembly 10 can be mass-produced to ensure that the oil supply assembly 10 can be adaptively applied to the electronic cigarette 1000. In this way, when the amount of oil required by the electronic cigarette 1000 is insufficient, the user can replace the oil supply assembly 10 by himself to replenish the oil reserve of the electronic cigarette 1000.

[0064] In addition, in the existing electronic cigarettes, when the amount of oil stored in the electronic cigarette is exhausted, the user needs to inject liquid oil into the oil storage space in the oil storage assembly through the oil filling hole in the oil storage assembly of the electronic cigarette. On the one hand, due to the lack of understanding of the structure of the electronic cigarette, the user is likely to mistake the oil filling hole and inject the oil into other subspaces inside the electronic cigarette 1000; on the other hand, the user lacks professional operating knowledge and is prone to operating errors when operating on his own, thus causing the oil to leak into other subspaces inside the electronic cigarette during the oil filling operation. Other operating structures are also provided in other subspaces of the electronic cigarette, and the inflow of oil will contaminate the structures located in other subspaces, affecting the subsequent normal operation of the electronic cigarette.

[0065] The oil supply assembly 10 in the present application stores the oil itself, and the user can replace the oil storage in the electronic cigarette 1000 by simply disassembling and installing the oil supply assembly 10, replacing the user's oil filling operation on the electronic cigarette 1000. In addition, the first oil storage member 12 of the oil supply assembly 10 can store the oil, and the user does not need to fill the new oil supply assembly 10, and the user can directly replace the oil supply assembly 10 to replenish the oil in the electronic cigarette 1000.

[0066] Therefore, in summary, in the electronic cigarette 1000, the oil supply assembly 10 itself stores the oil. Due to the detachability of the oil supply assembly 10, when the user needs to increase the oil volume of the electronic cigarette 1000, the user can quickly and conveniently replenish the oil volume required by the electronic cigarette 1000 by replacing the oil supply assembly 10. The user can replace the oil volume in the electronic cigarette 1000 only by disassembly and installation operations, which replaces the user's oil filling operation on the electronic cigarette 1000, reduces the difficulty of the user's operation when replenishing the oil required by the electronic cigarette 1000, and does not affect the user's experience of using the electronic cigarette 1000 after replacing the oil supply assembly 10. In addition, the first oil storage part 12 of the oil supply assembly 10 can store oil, and the user does not need to perform the oil filling operation on the new oil supply assembly 10. The user can directly replenish the oil of the electronic cigarette 1000 by replacing the oil supply assembly 10.

[0067] Please continue to refer to Figures 4 to 7 ,in, Figure 4 is an independent structural schematic diagram of the oil supply component 10, Figure 5 for Figure 4 Exploded diagram of Figure 6 for Figure 4 The side view (excluding the second seal 13) and the cross-sectional view along the CC line, Figure 7 for Figure 4 Side view and cross-sectional view along line DD.

[0068] Optionally, the first oil storage member 12 includes a first oil storage cotton, and at least part of the tobacco oil can be stored in the first oil storage cotton. The first oil storage cotton can not only store the tobacco oil better, but also reduce the freedom of flow of the tobacco oil, thereby reducing the outflow of tobacco oil from the oil supply assembly 10 when it is freely moving, stationary, etc. to a certain extent.

[0069] The oil storage cotton has the first accommodating chamber 121 , and the first accommodating chamber 121 is used to avoid the atomizing assembly 30 , so that the oil supply assembly 10 can be assembled in the main housing 20 without hindrance.

[0070] It should be noted that, due to the capillary phenomenon, when the oil content in different areas of the first oil storage cotton is different, the oil will automatically move from the area with high content to the area with low content. Therefore, when the atomizer component 30 atomizes and consumes the oil stored in the part of the first oil storage cotton close to the first accommodating chamber 121, the oil in other parts of the first oil storage cotton will move to the cotton body close to the first accommodating chamber 121 for atomization by the atomizer component 30.

[0071] It should also be explained that the atomizer assembly 30 is used to atomize the e-liquid stored in the first accommodating chamber 121, which not only means that the atomizer assembly 30 can atomize the e-liquid directly stored in the first accommodating chamber 121, but also means that the atomizer assembly 30 can atomize the e-liquid provided by the oil supply assembly 10 and moved to the first accommodating chamber 121. In other words, the e-liquid atomized by the atomizer assembly 30 can be directly located in the first accommodating chamber 121, or can be moved to the first accommodating chamber 121 during the use of the electronic cigarette 1000, and no restrictions are imposed here.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first oil storage component 12 is entirely composed of the first oil storage cotton. In other embodiments, the first oil storage component 12 is a mixed connection structure of the first oil storage cotton and other structural components, wherein at least the first oil storage cotton plays an oil storage role, and other structural components can store oil and also form a restraining effect to support the first oil storage cotton.

[0073] For reference Fig.12 , Fig.12 (a) is a side view of the atomizer assembly connected to the second suction nozzle, and (b) is a cross-sectional view of the structure in (a) along the FF line.

[0074] For example, in some embodiments, the atomizer assembly 30 includes an oil guide 33 and a heating structure 34. The oil guide 33 is used to connect the oil storage member to absorb the smoke oil required for atomization. The heating structure 34 is mainly used to heat the smoke oil absorbed from the oil guide 33 to atomize the smoke oil so that the user can inhale the smoke through the mouthpiece. Since the atomizer assembly 30 is located in the first accommodating chamber 121, the oil guide 33 is located in the first accommodating chamber 121, and the smoke oil that the atomizer assembly 30 needs to atomize is mainly located on the oil guide 33. Therefore, in the embodiments of this part, it can be understood that the smoke oil atomized by the atomizer assembly 30 is located in the first accommodating chamber 121. In other words, the atomizer assembly 30 is used to atomize the smoke oil stored in the first accommodating chamber 121.

[0075] For reference Figure 7Furthermore, the oil supply assembly 10 also includes a second sealing member 13, which is used to seal the first receiving chamber 111. In this way, when the oil supply assembly 10 is in a disassembled state, the second sealing member 13 can seal the first receiving chamber 111 to effectively reduce the oil leakage of the oil supply assembly 10 and reduce the oil loss of the oil supply assembly 10. In this way, the oil supply assembly 10 can be stored separately. Users can not only purchase multiple oil supply assemblies 10 for backup, but also carry the oil supply assembly 10 with them to replenish the oil amount of the electronic cigarette 1000 in time.

[0076] Furthermore, the second seal 13 is an elastic member, and the second seal 13 can be interference connected with the cavity wall of the first accommodating cavity 111 to enhance the sealing effect of the first accommodating cavity 111. Meanwhile, when the user needs to assemble the oil supply assembly 10 to the main shell 20, the user can also remove the second seal 13 to meet the assembly requirements of the oil supply assembly 10.

[0077] Optionally, the second sealing member 13 is a rubber member, a silicone member, or the like.

[0078] For reference Figures 9 to 11 , Fig. 9 (a) in Figure 8 Side view of the electronic cigarette 1000, Fig. 9 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the electronic cigarette 1000 along line LL. Fig.10 for Figure 8 Explosion diagram of the electronic cigarette 1000, Fig.11 It is an exploded view of the atomization assembly 30 and the second suction nozzle 40 in the electronic cigarette 1000.

[0079] Optionally, the atomizer assembly 30 includes a second oil storage member 31, and the second oil storage member 31 is used to store part of the smoke oil so that the atomizer assembly 30 generates smoke.

[0080] At least part of the second oil storage member 31 is disposed in the first accommodating chamber 121 . When the oil supply assembly 10 is in an assembled state, the second oil storage member 31 is connected to the first oil storage member 12 , and the atomization assembly 30 is used to atomize the tobacco oil stored in the first oil storage member 12 and the second oil storage member 31 .

[0081] Please refer to Figure 3 When the oil supply component 10 is in an assembled state, the second oil storage component 31 is connected to the first oil storage component 12, so that the oil can be transferred between the first oil storage component 12 and the second oil storage component 31. When the oil in the second oil storage component 31 is consumed, the oil in the first oil storage component 12 can fill the amount of oil consumed by the second oil storage component 31, so that the atomization component 30 can generate smoke.

[0082] Among them, when the oil supply assembly 10 is in a disassembled state, the second oil storage component 31 can provide a certain amount of smoke oil for the user to inhale. In this way, when the user does not assemble the oil supply assembly 10, or does not replace the oil supply assembly 10 in time, the electronic cigarette 1000 can still generate smoke for the user to inhale.

[0083] In addition, the amount of oil that can be stored in the first oil storage part 12 and the second oil storage part 31 is greater than the amount of oil that can be stored in the first oil storage part 12. When the oil supply component 10 is in the assembled state, the oil of the electronic cigarette 1000 comes from the first oil storage part 12 and the second oil storage part 31. Compared with the embodiment in which only the first oil storage part 12 provides the oil required by the electronic cigarette 1000, the above embodiment increases the storage capacity of the oil of the electronic cigarette 1000 and can expand the oil capacity of the electronic cigarette 1000.

[0084] For example, when the user is away from home for a long time, such as on a business trip or traveling, the user may not be able to carry or forget to carry the oil supply assembly 10 for replacement because the user needs to carry a lot of items. At this time, the user can assemble a new oil supply assembly 10, plus the amount of oil stored in the second oil storage part 31 in the atomization assembly 30, thereby increasing the oil reserve of the electronic cigarette 1000 as a whole. In this way, the electronic cigarette 1000 can provide more smoke for the user to inhale. Since the smoke content that the user can inhale each time is certain, in other words, each time the user inhales the electronic cigarette 1000, the amount of smoke oil consumed in the electronic cigarette 1000 is certain. Therefore, since the electronic cigarette 1000 has both the first oil storage part 12 and the second oil storage part 31, the electronic cigarette 1000 also has a maximum amount of oil stored in the first oil storage part 12 and the second oil storage part 31. By increasing the maximum amount of oil that the electronic cigarette 1000 can store, the maximum number of inhalations that the electronic cigarette 1000 can provide to the user is increased, and the length of time that the user can use the electronic cigarette 1000 is increased.

[0085] For reference Figures 10 to 13 , Fig.10 for Figure 8 Explosion diagram of the electronic cigarette 1000, Fig.11 It is an exploded view of the atomization assembly 30 and the second suction nozzle 40 in the electronic cigarette 1000. Fig.12 (a) is a side view of the atomizing assembly 30 connected to the second suction nozzle 40, (b) is a cross-sectional view of the structure in (a) along the FF line, Fig.13 It is a connection diagram of the oil guide member 33 and the heating structure 34 in the atomization assembly 30.

[0086] Optionally, the atomizer assembly 30 further includes a heating structure 34, which is used to heat the tobacco oil in the atomizer assembly 30 to generate tobacco gas for the user to inhale. In the above embodiment, the heating structure 34 heats the tobacco oil stored in the second oil storage member 31 to generate tobacco gas.

[0087] For reference Fig.13 Optionally, the atomizer assembly 30 also includes an oil guide member 33, which is connected to the heating structure 34 and the second oil storage member 31. The oil guide member 33 can draw the tobacco oil in the second oil storage member 31, and the heating structure 34 is used to heat the oil guide member 33 so that the tobacco oil in the oil guide member 33 generates smoke for the user to inhale.

[0088] Among them, since the first oil storage part 12 and the second oil storage part 31 are connected, and the oil guide part 33 is connected to the second oil storage part 31, the tobacco oil stored in the first oil storage part 12 can be moved to the second oil storage part 31 and then moved to the oil guide part 33 for the atomization component 30 to generate tobacco gas.

[0089] Optionally, the oil guide member 33 is an oil guide cotton. In this way, through capillary action, the oil guide cotton can absorb the smoke oil and store the smoke oil to a certain extent, reducing the flow freedom of the smoke oil. When the user uses the electronic cigarette 1000 next time, the heating structure 34 can directly heat the smoke oil stored in the oil guide cotton. Compared with liquid smoke oil leaving the heating structure 34 due to fluidity, the oil guide cotton can provide the smoke oil required for the atomization operation of the atomization component 30 in a timely manner.

[0090] Please refer back to Fig.12 Furthermore, the atomizer assembly 30 also includes a second shell 32 , the second shell 32 has a second receiving chamber 320 , and the second oil storage member 31 is located in the second receiving chamber 320 .

[0091] An oil hole 321 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the second shell body 32, and the second receiving cavity 320 is connected to the installation cavity 21 through the oil hole 321. When the oil supply component 10 is in the assembled state, the first oil storage component 12 is connected to the second oil storage component 31 through the oil hole 321. In other words, the first oil storage component 12 can be exposed outside the second receiving cavity 320 through the oil hole 321 to connect to the second oil storage component 31 located in the installation cavity 21. In this way, the smoke oil can be transferred between the first oil storage component 12 and the second oil storage component 31. When the smoke oil content of the second oil storage component 31 is reduced, the smoke oil stored in the first oil storage component 12 can be moved to the second oil storage component 31 to replenish the amount of smoke oil in the second oil storage component 31.

[0092] Please continue to refer to Fig.12Optionally, the second oil storage member 31 includes a second oil storage cotton. In this way, at least part of the smoke oil can be stored in the second oil storage cotton. The second oil storage cotton can not only store the smoke oil well, but also reduce the flow freedom of the smoke oil, and to a certain extent reduce the electronic cigarette 1000 in free movement, static state, etc., The smoke oil is stored in the second receiving chamber 320 and the amount of smoke oil flowing out of the second receiving chamber 320 is reduced. Therefore, no matter how the electronic cigarette 1000 is placed or how it is held in the user's hand, or in other words, no matter whether the second receiving chamber 320 is placed upright, inverted or sideways, the smoke oil is difficult to flow out of the second receiving chamber 320.

[0093] In this way, in the electronic cigarette 1000, the tobacco oil in the second receiving chamber 320 is difficult to move to other positions in the installation chamber 21 of the electronic cigarette 1000 due to arbitrary flow, so it is difficult to contaminate other components in the electronic cigarette 1000, thereby maintaining the cleanliness of the environment in the installation chamber 21 of the electronic cigarette 1000 and maintaining the performance of the electronic cigarette 1000.

[0094] In some embodiments, the second oil storage component 31 is entirely composed of second oil storage cotton. In other embodiments, the second oil storage component 31 is a mixed connection structure of the second oil storage cotton and other structural components, wherein at least the second oil storage cotton plays an oil storage role, and other structural components can store oil and also form a restraining function to support the second oil storage cotton.

[0095] Please refer to Fig.11 and Fig.12 Furthermore, the electronic cigarette 1000 also includes a second suction nozzle 40. When the oil supply assembly 10 is in a disassembled state, the second suction nozzle 40 is connected to the main shell 20. The second suction nozzle 40 is used to guide the smoke in the atomization assembly 30. At this time, when the user inhales the smoke, the smoke in the electronic cigarette 1000 comes from the smoke oil stored in the first oil storage part 12 in the atomization assembly 30.

[0096] Please combine again Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the oil supply assembly 10 is in the assembled state, the first suction nozzle 11 is connected to the smoke channel of the atomizer assembly 30, and the smoke in the first accommodating chamber 121 is discharged through the first suction nozzle 11. The user can inhale the smoke through the first suction nozzle 11 at this time.

[0097] It should be noted that the second suction nozzle 40 is detachably connected to the main shell 20. When the electronic cigarette 1000 is not equipped with the oil supply component 10, that is, when the oil supply component 10 is in the aforementioned disassembled state, the user can install the second suction nozzle 40 to allow the user to inhale the smoke generated by the operation of the atomization component 30.

[0098] When the electronic cigarette 1000 is equipped with the oil supply assembly 10, since the oil supply assembly 10 is equipped with the first suction nozzle 11, at this time, the second suction nozzle 40 can be removed, removed from the main shell 20, and the oil supply assembly 10 can be assembled. At this time, the user can inhale smoke through the second suction nozzle 40.

[0099] In this way, the setting of the second suction nozzle 40 can meet the user's suction needs when the electronic cigarette 1000 is not equipped with the oil supply assembly 10. Moreover, since the electronic cigarette 1000 is equipped with the second suction nozzle 40, the first suction nozzle 11 can always maintain a connection relationship with the first shell 110 of the oil supply assembly 10. When the oil supply assembly 10 is assembled, the first suction nozzle 11 is integrally assembled to the main shell 20 along with other parts of the oil supply assembly 10.

[0100] From another perspective, since the electronic cigarette 1000 is provided with a detachable second suction nozzle 40, any oil supply component 10 can be equipped with a corresponding first suction nozzle 11, that is, the first suction nozzle 11 can be replaced as the oil supply component 10 is replaced. In this way, the first suction nozzle 11 can be replaced in time, and the first suction nozzle 11 used by the user on the electronic cigarette 1000 can maintain cleanliness, and will not accumulate oil stains and germs due to long-term use, thereby affecting the health of the user.

[0101] In other embodiments, the first suction nozzle 11 of the oil supply assembly 10 is detachably connected to the first shell 110 of the oil supply assembly 10. When the electronic cigarette 1000 is not equipped with the oil supply assembly 10, that is, the oil supply assembly 10 is in a disassembled state, the first suction nozzle 11 can be removed and installed on the main shell 20 for the user to match the atomizer assembly 30. In this way, the amount of consumables of the electronic cigarette 1000 can be reduced, and the production cost of the oil supply assembly 10 and the electronic cigarette 1000 can be reduced.

[0102] In some other embodiments, when the oil supply assembly 10 is in an assembled state, the first suction nozzle 11 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second suction nozzle 40, and the inner cavity of the first suction nozzle 11 is connected to the inner cavity of the second suction nozzle 40. In this way, regardless of whether the electronic cigarette 1000 is equipped with the oil supply assembly 10, the electronic cigarette 1000 is provided with a suction nozzle for the user to inhale smoke, thereby ensuring the basic usage function of the electronic cigarette 1000.

[0103] Please refer to Fig.11 and Fig.12 , Fig.11 is an exploded view of the atomizing assembly 30 and the second suction nozzle 40. Fig.12 It is a side view of the atomizing assembly 30 connected to the second suction nozzle 40 and a cross-sectional view along line FF.

[0104] Furthermore, the second suction nozzle 40 has a second mouth portion 41 and a second plug-in portion 42 connected to each other, and the second plug-in portion 42 is formed with a plug-in channel 43. The second mouth portion 41 is used for the user to inhale smoke, the second plug-in portion 42 is used to be inserted into the installation cavity 21, and the plug-in channel 43 is used to accommodate at least part of the atomization assembly 30.

[0105] The main housing 20 has a first installation opening 25 , through which the installation cavity 21 can communicate with the external space of the main housing 20 , and the second plug-in portion 42 can enter or leave the installation cavity 21 .

[0106] Among them, at least part of the atomizer assembly 30 is located in the plug-in channel 43. Thus, through the interaction between the side wall of the plug-in channel 43 and at least part of the atomizer assembly 30, the atomizer assembly 30 can guide the plug-in direction of the second plug-in portion 42 in the second suction nozzle 40 to a certain extent, so that the second suction nozzle 40 can be accurately connected to the target position of the main shell 20.

[0107] Furthermore, the second suction nozzle 40 also has a shielding portion 44 arranged on the outer periphery of the second mouth portion 41. When the second suction nozzle 40 is connected to the main shell 20, the shielding portion 44 can cover the first mounting port 25, thereby blocking external dust and foreign matter from entering the mounting cavity 21 from the first mounting port 25, thereby maintaining the environment in the mounting cavity 21 of the electronic cigarette 1000.

[0108] Please refer to Figure 3 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.14 Furthermore, the electronic cigarette 1000 also includes a first seal 50, which is provided with a sealing hole 51. When the oil supply assembly 10 is in a disassembled state, the first seal 50 is located between the first suction nozzle 11 and the atomizer assembly 30. The sealing hole 51 is used to guide the smoke in the atomizer assembly 30 to the second suction nozzle 40. The first seal 50 is used to seal the connection between the atomizer assembly 30 and the second suction nozzle 40, so that substantially all of the smoke can flow from the sealing hole 51 to the second suction nozzle 40, thereby reducing the loss of smoke.

[0109] like Figure 3 As shown, when the oil supply assembly 10 is in the assembled state, the first sealing member 50 is located in the first accommodating chamber 121, and the first sealing member 50 is sealingly connected to the end of the atomizing assembly 30, and the sealing through hole 51 is used to guide the smoke in the atomizing assembly 30 and the oil supply assembly 10 to the first suction nozzle 11, and the sealing through hole 51 is used to guide the smoke in the atomizing assembly 30 to the first suction nozzle 11, and the first sealing member 50 is used to seal the connection between the atomizing assembly 30 and the first suction nozzle 11, so that substantially all of the smoke can flow from the sealing through hole 51 to the first suction nozzle 11, thereby reducing the loss of smoke.

[0110] In this way, the provision of the first sealing member 50 can reduce the diffusion of smoke in the mounting cavity 21, and can reduce the amount of smoke oil loss when the electronic cigarette 1000 is in use. At the same time, it also reduces the smoke from liquefying and adhering to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 21 or the surface of other structures in the mounting cavity 21 after diffusion in the mounting cavity 21, thereby maintaining the cleanliness of the internal environment in the mounting cavity 21 of the electronic cigarette 1000.

[0111] Please refer to Fig.15 and Fig.16 Furthermore, the electronic cigarette 1000 also includes a third seal 90, which is located in the first sub-cavity 211. The third seal 90 is used to further seal the working hole to reduce the possibility of the smoke oil that may overflow from the first sub-cavity 211 entering the second sub-cavity 212 along the working hole.

[0112] The periphery of the third sealing member 90 is sealed to the cavity wall of the first sub-cavity 211 to reduce the possibility that the tobacco oil in the first sub-cavity 211 enters the second sub-cavity 212 along the connection gap between the mounting bracket 60 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 21 .

[0113] The third sealing member 90 is provided with a through channel 91, which is connected to the working through hole. The inner wall of the through channel 91 is sealingly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the first oil supply body to reduce the possibility that the tobacco oil in the first sub-cavity 211 enters the second sub-cavity 212 through the working through hole along the connection gap between the first oil supply body and the mounting bracket 60.

[0114] In this way, the setting of the third sealing member 90 further seals and isolates the first sub-cavity 211 and the second sub-cavity 212. At the same time, the through channel 91 set by the third sealing member 90 provides a connecting channel connecting the first sub-cavity 211 and the second sub-cavity 212, ensuring that the necessary connection relationship can be established between different components in different sub-cavities.

[0115] Furthermore, the atomizer assembly 30 is partially inserted into the through channel 91, and the inner wall of the through channel 91 is provided with a first abutting protrusion 910, which abuts against the outer periphery of the atomizer assembly 30. In this way, the third sealing member 90 further seals the atomizer assembly 30, making it difficult for the smoke oil in the first sub-chamber 211 to enter the second sub-chamber 212 through the working through hole along the connection gap between the first oil supply body and the mounting bracket 60.

[0116] In addition, the provision of the first abutting protrusion 910 can also position the atomizer assembly 30 to a certain extent, so that the third sealing member 90 can provide the circumferential support required when the atomizer assembly 30 is installed to a certain extent.

[0117] Please continue to refer to Fig.15 and Fig.16 , and combined with Fig. 9Optionally, the third sealing member 90 includes an annular sealing portion 92, which is convexly arranged on the surface of the third sealing member 90 facing the atomizer assembly 30 and is arranged in a ring around the outer periphery of the through channel 91. When the oil supply assembly 10 is in an assembled state, the annular sealing portion 92 is connected to the outer periphery of the first shell portion. In this way, a recess is formed on the surface of the third sealing member 90 facing the atomizer assembly 30, and the recess can adhere to and receive the smoke oil in the first sub-cavity 211. In addition, due to the provision of the annular sealing portion 92, the connection area between the third sealing member 90 and the inner wall of the installation cavity 21 is increased, thereby further increasing the sealing performance of the third sealing member 90 and reducing the possibility of the smoke oil in the first sub-cavity 211 entering the second sub-cavity 212 along the connection gap between the periphery of the third sealing member 90 and the inner wall of the installation cavity 21.

[0118] The annular sealing portion 92 is provided with a second abutting protrusion 920 on the inner wall facing the through channel 91, and the second abutting protrusion 920 is used to abut the outer periphery of the oil supply assembly 10. In this way, when the oil supply assembly 10 is in an assembled state, the second abutting protrusion 920 can support the oil supply assembly 10 to a certain extent and enhance the connection strength between the oil supply assembly 10 and the annular sealing portion 92.

[0119] The recess formed on the surface of the third sealing member 90 due to the annular sealing portion 92 can position the oil supply assembly 10. When the oil supply assembly 10 needs to be assembled, the recess can guide the installation position of the oil supply assembly 10, thereby enabling the oil supply assembly 10 to be accurately installed at the target position, thus avoiding interference between the oil supply assembly 10 and other components during installation to a certain extent.

[0120] Optionally, the third sealing member 90 is an elastic member, and its material may be silicone, rubber, etc.

[0121] Can be referenced together Figure 2 ,and Fig.17 ,in, Figure 2 It is a structural explosion diagram of the electronic cigarette 1000 in the assembled state of the oil supply component 10. Fig.17 It is a structural schematic diagram of the mounting bracket 60 and its associated structures.

[0122] Furthermore, the electronic cigarette 1000 further includes a mounting bracket 60 , and the mounting bracket 60 is used to provide the restraint required when the internal structure of the electronic cigarette 1000 is installed.

[0123] Recombinable Fig.18 ,in, Fig.18 It is a schematic diagram of the connection between the main shell and the mounting bracket, wherein (a) is a schematic diagram of the structure of the main shell and the mounting bracket after connection, (b) is a side view of the connection between the two, and (c) is a side sectional view at NN in (b).

[0124] The mounting bracket 60 is located in the mounting cavity 21 and divides the mounting cavity 21 into a first sub-cavity 211 and a second sub-cavity 212 distributed on two opposite sides of the mounting bracket 60 . Different operating components are installed in different sub-cavities.

[0125] The mounting bracket 60 is provided with an operation through hole, and the first sub-cavity 211 is connected to the second sub-cavity 212 through the operation through hole. Through the operation through hole, different operation components located in different sub-cavities can achieve a certain connection relationship.

[0126] The atomizer assembly 30 is located in the first sub-chamber 211. When the oil supply assembly 10 is in the assembled state, the oil supply assembly 10 is also located in the first sub-chamber 211. The first sub-chamber 211 is mainly used to place related components for storing tobacco oil.

[0127] The electronic cigarette 1000 further includes a power supply component 70 , which is located in the second sub-cavity 212 . The atomizer component 30 is electrically connected to the power supply component 70 through an operation via, so that the power supply component 70 can provide the electrical energy required for the operation of the atomizer component 30 .

[0128] Among them, the atomizer assembly 30, the oil supply assembly 10 and other structural components related to the storage and atomization of the smoke oil are all arranged in the first sub-chamber 211, and the power supply assembly 70 is arranged in the second sub-chamber 212. The two parts can be directly isolated in space to a certain extent through installation. In this way, the difficulty of the smoke oil that may overflow in the first sub-chamber 211 to enter the second sub-chamber 212 is increased, and the probability of the power supply assembly 70 being contaminated by the smoke oil is reduced, thereby maintaining the power supply performance of the power supply assembly 70.

[0129] For reference Fig.17 and Fig.18 Furthermore, a limiting abutment protrusion 61 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the mounting bracket 60, and a second mounting opening 22 is provided on the side wall of the main shell 20. The limiting abutment protrusion 61 abuts against the mouth wall of the second mounting opening 22. In this way, a limiting relationship can be formed between the limiting abutment protrusion 61 and the mouth wall of the second mounting opening 22, so that the mounting bracket 60 can be installed at a specified position in the mounting cavity 21. The limiting abutment protrusion 61 can abut against the second mounting opening 22 to prompt whether the mounting bracket 60 is installed in place. It should be understood that the position can be defined according to the space occupancy of the first sub-cavity 211 and the second sub-cavity 212.

[0130] For reference Fig.18Furthermore, the main housing 20 is also provided with a third mounting opening 23, the diameter of the third mounting opening 23 is larger than the diameter of the second mounting opening 22, and the second mounting opening 22 is connected to the third mounting opening 23. The inner circumference of the main housing 20 includes a limiting surface 24, and the limiting surface 24 is connected between the mouth wall of the second mounting opening 22 and the mouth wall of the third mounting opening 23. The electronic cigarette 1000 also includes a cover body 80, which covers the third mounting opening 23 and abuts against the limiting surface 24.

[0131] In this way, the limiting surface 24 can limit the installation position of the cover body 80 relative to the main shell 20, and at the same time prompt whether the cover body 80 is installed in place, that is, when the cover body 80 abuts against the limiting surface 24, the cover body 80 is installed in place.

[0132] On the other hand, since the limiting abutment protrusion 61 abuts against the wall of the second mounting port 22, at this time, if the cover body 80 is also connected to the wall of the second mounting port 22, the cover body 80 will interfere with the limiting abutment protrusion 61, affecting the effect of the cover body 80 covering the second mounting port 22. In this way, by setting the limiting surface 24, the cover body 80 covers the third mounting port 23 which is larger in diameter than the second mounting port 22, that is, the purpose of the cover body 80 covering the second mounting port 22 can be achieved. At the same time, there will be no mutual interference between the cover body 80 and the limiting abutment protrusion 61, and the cover body 80 can be connected to the main shell 20 without hindrance.

[0133] See also Fig.19 , and then combined with the previous Figure 1 To Attachment Fig.18 , Fig.19 A flowchart of a method for prompting to replace an oil supply assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to the above-mentioned control chip. The method includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0134] 101: Obtain the number of puffs taken by the user in the current puffing behavior through the microphone sensor.

[0135] Exemplarily, the microphone sensor 71 can detect the user's puffing action. When the user's puffing action is detected, a puffing signal is sent to the control chip to indicate that the user has a puffing action. In the present application, a puffing signal is used to represent a user's puffing. Therefore, when the user puffs at the current moment, the microphone sensor 71 can send a puffing signal to the control chip, and the control chip responds to the puffing signal, determines that the user currently has a puffing behavior, and starts counting the number of puffs of the current puffing behavior, that is, counting the current puffing behavior from the number of puffs being 1.

[0136] Then, in the process of counting the number of puffs of the current puffing behavior, if the control chip receives a new puff signal from the microphone sensor 71, the control chip will obtain the time difference between the new puff signal and the previous puff signal, and count the number of puffs of the current puffing behavior based on the time difference. Exemplarily, if the time difference is greater than or equal to the threshold, it means that a long time has passed since the new puff signal was received relative to the previous puff signal, and the two puffs should belong to two different puffing behaviors, then the new puff signal will not be counted as a puff into the number of puffs of the current puffing behavior, the number of puffs of the current puffing behavior is obtained, and the current puffing behavior is determined to be over; if the time difference is less than the threshold, the new puff signal will be counted as a puff into the number of puffs of the current puffing behavior, and new puff signals will continue to be received until the determined time difference is greater than or equal to the threshold, and the number of puffs of the current puffing behavior is obtained.

[0137] For example, if the user starts to puff at the current time t1, the microphone sensor 71 will send a puff signal to the control chip at time t1, and the control chip will determine that the user is currently puffing based on the puff signal. If at time t2, the user puffs again, the microphone sensor 71 will also send a puff signal to the control chip. If the difference between t2-t1 is less than the threshold, it means that the puff at time t2 still belongs to the current puffing behavior, and the control chip will continue to count the current puffing behavior. If at time t3, the user puffs again, the microphone sensor 71 will also send a puff signal to the control chip. If the difference between t3-t2 is greater than the threshold, it means that the puff at time t3 and the puff at time t2 belong to two puffing behaviors, then stop counting the number of puffs of the current puffing behavior, that is, determine that the current puffing behavior ends.

[0138] For a more clear description of the above specific implementation of step 101, please refer to Fig. 20 In other words, step 101 includes:

[0139] 1011: receiving a suction signal from the microphone sensor;

[0140] 1012: In response to the puff signal, determine that the user currently has a puffing behavior, and start counting the number of puffs of the current puffing behavior;

[0141] 1013: in the process of counting the number of puffs of the current puffing behavior, if a new puff signal is received from the microphone sensor, obtaining a time difference between receiving the new puff signal and a puff signal before the new puff signal;

[0142] 1014: Determine whether the time difference is less than a threshold;

[0143] 1015: if the time difference is less than the threshold, the new puff signal is counted as one puff into the number of puffs of the current puffing behavior, and new puff signals are continuously received until the determined time difference is greater than or equal to the threshold, thereby obtaining the number of puffs of the current puffing behavior;

[0144] 1016: If the time difference is greater than or equal to the threshold, the new puff signal is not counted as a puff into the puff count of the current puff behavior, the puff count of the current puff behavior is obtained, and the current puff behavior is determined to be finished.

[0145] 102: Determine the total number of puffs of the user and the average number of puffs of the user in one puff behavior based on the number of puffs in the current puff behavior and the number of puffs in the historical puff behaviors.

[0146] Exemplarily, the number of puffs in the current puffing behavior and the number of puffs in the historical puffing behavior are summed to obtain the total number of puffs of the user, that is, how many times the user has smoked using the new oil supply assembly 10; if the user has not replaced the oil supply assembly 10, the historical puffing behavior is the historical puffing behavior of the user from the first time the electronic cigarette 1000 is used to the current moment; if the oil supply assembly 10 has been replaced, the historical puffing behavior is the historical puffing behavior from the last time the oil supply assembly 10 was replaced to the current moment. And, based on the current puffing behavior and the historical puffing behavior, the number of the user's puffing behaviors is determined, and based on the number of puffing behaviors and the total number of puffs, the average number of puffs of the user in one puffing behavior is determined.

[0147] For a clearer description of the above specific implementation of step 102, please refer to Fig.21 In other words, step 102 includes:

[0148] 1021: summing the number of puffs in the current puffing behavior and the number of puffs in the historical puffing behaviors to obtain the total number of puffs of the user;

[0149] 1022: Determine the number of puffing behaviors of the user based on the current puffing behavior and the historical puffing behaviors;

[0150] 1023: Determine the average number of puffs taken by the user in one puff behavior based on the number of puff behaviors and the total number of puffs.

[0151] 103: Determine the remaining number of puffs based on the total number of puffs and the preset number of puffs;

[0152] 104: If the remaining number of puffs is less than the average number of puffs in one puffing behavior, after the current puffing behavior is finished, at least one prompt light is used to prompt the user to replace the oil supply component.

[0153] For example, after the current puffing behavior ends, if it is detected that the remaining number of puffs is less than the average number of puffs, it means that the amount of oil in the oil supply assembly 10 can no longer meet the user's next puffing. Therefore, after the current puffing behavior ends, at least one prompt light is used to prompt the user to replace the oil supply assembly 10, so that the user can replace the oil supply assembly 10 in time to meet the next puffing behavior. For example, the user can be prompted to replace the oil supply assembly 10 by a preset color of the prompt light, such as red, to prompt the user to replace the oil supply assembly 10.

[0154] It should be noted that when the user is reminded to replace the oil supply assembly 10 for the first time, since a smaller capacity oil supply assembly 10 is used, the preset number of puffs used when judging whether to prompt the replacement of the oil supply assembly 10 is a relatively small value. For the sake of distinction, the preset number of puffs in this case can be referred to as the first preset number of puffs. For the control chip, if it is detected that the user has not replaced the oil supply assembly 10, the first preset number of puffs is used to determine whether to prompt the user to replace the oil supply assembly 10; when the user is reminded to replace the oil supply assembly 10 for the second or more times, since a larger capacity oil supply assembly 10 is used, the preset number of puffs used when judging whether to prompt the replacement of the oil supply assembly 10 is a relatively large value. For the sake of distinction, the preset number of puffs in this case can be referred to as the second preset number of puffs. For the control chip, when the control chip detects that the user has not replaced the oil supply assembly 10, the first preset number of puffs is used to determine whether to prompt the user to replace the oil supply assembly 10.

[0155] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, the control chip will count the number of puffs in each puffing behavior of the user, so as to analyze the user's habits, that is, how many times the user smokes on average in one puffing behavior; at the same time, the control chip will predict the remaining number of puffs based on the number of puffs in each puffing behavior and the preset number of puffs, that is, predict how many times the user can smoke with the amount of oil in the oil supply component 10. Therefore, after each puffing behavior, the control chip will determine whether the remaining number of puffs is less than the average number of puffs of the user. If it is less than, it means that the remaining amount of oil is not enough to support the user's next puff, so as to promptly remind the user to replace the oil supply component 10 through the prompt light 72, thereby realizing intelligent prompting of the user to replace the oil supply component 10 in time according to the user's habits, avoiding the situation of insufficient oil in the user's puffing, and improving the user's experience of smoking electronic cigarettes 1000.
