[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, an electronic cigarette comprises an electronic cigarette body 1 and an OTG plug 2, wherein the OTG plug 2 is electrically connected to the electronic cigarette body 1, and the OTG plug 2 is used for the electronic cigarette body to obtain power from a power supply device.

[0026] The electronic cigarette body 1 is provided with an OTG plug receiving slot, and the OTG plug can be stored in the receiving slot when not in use.

[0027] The OTG plug may adopt a folding structure, for example: the OTG plug 2 is connected to the electronic cigarette body 1 through the folding structure, and the OTG plug 2 is switched between a storage state and a use state through the folding structure. When in the storage state, the OTG plug 2 is located in the OTG plug receiving slot, and when in the use state, the OTG plug 2 extends out of the OTG plug receiving slot. Figure 1 The horizontal arrows in the figure represent the left and right folding positions of the OTG plug 2. When the OTG plug 2 is located on the left side, it is in a storage state, and when the OTG plug 2 is located on the right side, it is in a use state.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the folding structure can adopt a push-pull type. For example, the OTG plug 2 is slidably matched with the electronic cigarette body 1, so that the OTG plug 2 can be translated left and right relative to the electronic cigarette body 1. When charging, the OTG plug 2 can be translated and extended out of the electronic cigarette body 1 and connected to the power supply device. When charging is completed, the OTG plug 2 can be translated back into the electronic cigarette body 1 and returned to the receiving groove.

[0029] The folding structure may also be a rotating structure (no example is given in the attached figure). For example, the OTG plug 2 is connected to the electronic cigarette body 1 by rotation, so that the OTG plug 2 can rotate relative to the electronic cigarette body 1 at a certain angle, for example, 180 degrees or 90 degrees. When charging, the OTG plug 2 can be rotated and extended out of the electronic cigarette body 1 and connected to the power supply device. When charging is finished, the OTG plug 2 can be rotated back into the electronic cigarette body 1 and returned to the receiving slot.

[0030] Since the above-mentioned methods of using rotary, push-pull, etc. to fold the OTG plug and electrically connect it to the electronic cigarette are conventional means or common sense widely used in the prior art, the rotary, push-pull folding structure itself and how it is electrically connected to the electronic cigarette will not be elaborated here.

[0031] In other implementation forms, the OTG plug can also be connected to the electronic cigarette body through a wire (not shown in the drawings), and the OTG plug can be stored in the receiving slot. For example, the OTG plug 2 can be connected to the electronic cigarette body 1 through a wire, such as an OTG plug with a wire, which can be directly inserted into the receiving slot to store the OTG plug, or as the wire is retracted, the OTG plug is retracted into the receiving slot along the wire retraction path, thereby storing the OTG plug.

[0032] OTG is the abbreviation of On-The-Go, which is a technology for USB device connection or data exchange published by the USB standardization organization. The traditional OTG plug is mainly used for connecting various different devices or mobile devices to exchange data. The utility model changes the tradition and uses the OTG plug to get power from the power supply device for the electronic cigarette body to overcome the problem of inconvenient charging.

[0033] Embodiment 2

[0034] Based on the first embodiment, the power supply scenario of the electronic cigarette is further explained.

[0035] The power supply device is a portable electronic device with a battery. For example, most types of current smartphones have basically popularized OTG functions, so a commonly used smartphone can be used as a power supply device for an electronic cigarette, so that power can be drawn from the smartphone anytime and anywhere.

[0036] By using the OTG plug 2, the user can charge directly from a smartphone or a conventional commonly used charger or other power source (for example, in some embodiments, it can be a 5V DC power source) without any external charging cable, and can charge at any time even if the charging cable is forgotten.

[0037] Embodiment 3

[0038] Based on the first embodiment, the specific structure of the OTG plug is further described.

[0039] The OTG plug 2 may be a Micro-USB plug, a USB Type-C plug, or a USB-A plug, and of course may also be other plugs of corresponding specifications that can realize OTG plug-in.

[0040] Embodiment 4

[0041] Based on the first embodiment, the selection of the power supply equipment is further explained.

[0042] The power supply equipment can be made from local materials as much as possible, with a direct power supply, or only a device with a battery and an interface that can be connected to an OTG plug, such as a smart phone, tablet computer, high-intensity flashlight, etc.

[0043] The above contents are further detailed descriptions of the present invention in combination with specific preferred implementations, and the specific implementation of the present invention cannot be considered to be limited to these descriptions. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which should be regarded as falling within the protection scope of the present invention.
