For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0040] In this article, "communication" refers to fluid communication, that is, fluid (including liquid and / or gas) can flow from one component to another component. In addition, in this article, communication between two components can refer to direct communication between the two components, for example, at least partial alignment between two holes, or communication through an intermediate medium.

[0043] "Atomized substrate" refers to a mixture or auxiliary substance that can be completely or partially atomized into an aerosol by an electronic device or a similar device. The atomized substrate can be a liquid electronic cigarette 100 liquid, smoke oil, smoke paste, gel-like smoke glue, or a medium such as a medical drug or skin care lotion.

[0046] The electronic cigarette 100 is divided into a disposable electronic cigarette 100 and a cartridge-changing electronic cigarette 100. Among them, the atomizer 700 of the cartridge-changing electronic cigarette 100 is more convenient to replace. However, this type of cartridge-changing electronic cigarette 100 still has many defects. For example, the battery is embedded in the host, and in the host, the battery, electrode and PCBA are connected by wire welding. The outside is usually encapsulated with a plastic or metal shell, which requires manual welding. Special tools and techniques are required to replace the battery 60, and users cannot replace it freely. Therefore, there are two problems. First, the whole machine needs to be charged after the battery is out of power. It cannot be used during the charging process. When the battery is exhausted and there is no charging environment, it cannot be used, which affects the user experience. Second, the entire host needs to be abandoned after the battery 60 is damaged. There are trace amounts of heavy metals in various electrode parts in the host, which are easy to affect the environment.

[0047] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 9 The electronic cigarette 100 of the present disclosure is described in detail. The electronic cigarette 100 includes a housing assembly for an electronic cigarette, an atomizer 700, and a battery core 60 for powering the atomizer 700.

The electric heating element 703 is also provided with an absorbent for absorbing the atomized matrix, such as cotton, ceramic, etc.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the electronic cigarette housing assembly includes a housing 31, Figure 4 As shown, the two ends of the shell 31 are respectively protruded with a first protruding portion 311 and a second protruding portion 312 at the end edge in a direction away from the shell 31, and a receiving space 51 for installing the battery cell 60 is defined between the first protruding portion 311 and the second protruding portion 312. The battery cell 60 is detachably clamped between the first protruding portion 311 and the second protruding portion 312. It can be understood that the battery cell 60 includes but is not limited to a No. 2 battery, a No. 5 battery, a No. 7 battery, a 18650 battery, or a battery with a fixed The shape of the battery cell 60 is not specifically limited, such as a cylindrical battery cell 60, a sheet battery cell 60, or an irregularly shaped battery cell 60, etc. The present application preferably uses a 18650 battery cell 60, that is, a cylindrical battery cell 60 with a diameter of 18 mm, and 65 represents a cylindrical battery cell 60 with a length of 65 mm. The 18650 battery cell 60 has the advantages of high safety performance, no explosion, no combustion, non-toxicity, no pollution, and good high temperature resistance, and a discharge efficiency of 100% under 65 degrees Celsius, while being able to stably guarantee the working voltage of the atomizer core.

[0049] In some embodiments, the size of the first protrusion 311 and the second protrusion 312 is slightly larger than the end of the battery cell 60, so that the first protrusion 311 and the second protrusion 312 can be fully clamped on both sides of the battery cell 60, and the interval between the first protrusion 311 and the second protrusion 312 is slightly larger than the battery cell 60. This application takes the 18650 battery cell 60 as an example for explanation. The first protrusion 311 and the second protrusion 312 are cylindrical with a diameter of 18.0 mm to 20.0 mm. The first protrusion 311 and the second protrusion 312 are cylindrical with a diameter of 18.0 mm to 20.0 mm. The diameter of 12 includes but is not limited to 18.0mm, 18.5mm, 19.0mm, 19.5mm, 20.0mm, etc., the spacing between the first protrusion 311 and the second protrusion 312 is 65.0mm to 67.0mm, and the spacing between the first protrusion 311 and the second protrusion 312 includes but is not limited to 65.0mm, 65.5mm, 66.0mm, 66.5mm, 67.0mm, etc. It can be understood that the battery cell 60 can be replaced with a battery cell 60 of other specifications, and the setting margin should also be adjusted accordingly.

[0050] In some embodiments, the shell 31 is provided with a first side wall 315 corresponding to the first protruding portion 311 and the second protruding portion 312, and the first side wall 315 matches the contour of the battery cell 60 to facilitate more firmly fixing the battery cell 60. Furthermore, the first side wall 315 is provided with a first clamping portion 313 and a second clamping portion 314 toward the battery cell 60, and the first clamping portion 313 and the second clamping portion 314 match the periphery of the battery cell 60 to further improve the stability of the battery cell 60 and prevent the battery cell 60 from being subjected to side force when the user holds it tightly, resulting in unstable electrical connection. At the same time, since the battery cell 60 will generate heat during operation, the first clamping portion 313 and the second clamping portion 314 have a certain heat insulation function to facilitate the user's holding.

[0051] In some embodiments, the accommodating space 51 is open toward the side of the battery cell 60, and the open space should be slightly larger than the size of the battery cell 60, so that the user can take out the battery cell 60 for replacement, and the battery cell 60 can dissipate heat. Furthermore, the first clamping portion 313 and the second clamping portion 314 are spaced apart from the first protruding portion 311 and the second protruding portion 312, so as to prevent the first clamping portion 313 and the second clamping portion 314 from fixing the battery cell 60 too tightly, making it inconvenient to take out the battery cell 60.

[0052] Different embodiments are used to illustrate different assembly structures between the housing assembly for an electronic cigarette and the atomizer.
