[0032] In the description of the present utility model, "a plurality" means more than two. If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0034] The e-cigarette contains e-liquid for multiple inhalations, and some e-cigarettes can also refill their own e-liquid. After using an e-cigarette, the user will store it for easy use next time. When storing e-cigarettes, it is necessary to consider how to protect the mouthpiece to prevent dust or other substances from contaminating the mouthpiece. If the mouthpiece is contaminated, the user may consider discarding the unfinished e-cigarette, which reduces the user experience.

[0035] Generally, electronic cigarettes come with a matching mouthpiece protective cover, such as a silicone plug, a silicone plug cap or other cover, and users can use the mouthpiece protective cover to cover the mouthpiece. Of course, the additional mouthpiece protective cover will increase the manufacturing cost of the electronic cigarette, and users may accidentally lose the mouthpiece protective cover when smoking electronic cigarettes.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an electronic cigarette with a hidden cigarette holder according to an embodiment of the utility model comprises a cigarette shell 100 and a cigarette holder 200. The cigarette shell 100 is used to store cigarette oil. A receiving groove 110 is provided on one side surface of the cigarette shell 100. A first flow passage 111 is provided in the receiving groove 110. The cigarette holder 200 is provided with a second flow passage 201. The cigarette holder 200 is arranged in the receiving groove 110. The cigarette holder 200 is rotatably connected to the cigarette shell 100. The cigarette holder 200 is configured to rotate to switch between a use state and a storage state. When the cigarette holder 200 is in the use state, the second flow passage 201 is connected with the first flow passage 111, and the cigarette holder 200 extends out of the receiving groove 110. When the cigarette holder 200 is in the storage state, the second flow passage 201 is not connected with the first flow passage 111, and the cigarette holder 200 is buried in the receiving groove 110. The electronic cigarette with a hidden cigarette holder in the embodiment of the utility model can be rotated and hidden in the receiving groove 110, and can prevent dust and dirt without adding a protective cover.

[0037] The cigarette shell 100 is used to hold the cigarette oil and other components that convert the cigarette oil into steam. The technology of these components is relatively mature, so they will not be described in detail. When the cigarette holder 200 is rotated to the use state, the second flow channel 201 of the cigarette holder 200 is connected with the first flow channel 111 on the cigarette shell 100, and the cigarette oil in the smoking state flows through the first flow channel 111 and the second flow channel 201 until it is smoked by the user. When the cigarette holder 200 is rotated to the use state, the cigarette holder 200 extends out of the receiving groove 110, and the user can touch the cigarette holder 200 and smoke when holding the cigarette shell 100. After a smoking is completed, the cigarette holder 200 can be rotated to the storage state, that is, the cigarette holder 200 is rotated and buried in the receiving groove 110. The cigarette holder 200 buried in the receiving groove 110 is no longer in contact with the external environment, which can prevent dust or other substances from contaminating the cigarette holder 200.

[0038] It should be understood that the electronic cigarette using the structure of the embodiment of the present application does not need to add a protective cover to the mouthpiece 200, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the electronic cigarette. At the same time, the user only needs to rotate the mouthpiece 200 to protect the mouthpiece 200, which is more convenient to operate and does not need to worry about the mouthpiece protective cover being lost, greatly improving the user experience.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the cigarette holder 200 includes a flat portion 210 and a columnar portion 220 , the flat portion 210 is connected to the outer wall of the columnar portion 220 , and the columnar portion 220 is rotatably connected to the cigarette housing 100 , so that the cigarette holder 200 rotates around the axis of the columnar portion 220 .

[0040] The flat portion 210 means that the thickness of the portion of the cigarette holder 200 is smaller than the length and width of the portion, such as a sheet structure. The flat portion 210 is for the user to contact and smoke the electronic cigarette. The structure of the flat portion 210 makes it easier for the user to put the cigarette holder 200 into the mouth, thereby improving the user's comfort. At the same time, the columnar portion 220 is more conducive to rotational connection with the cigarette shell 100. When the cigarette holder 200 rotates around the axis of the columnar portion 220, the consistency of contact between the cigarette shell 100 and the columnar portion 220 in all directions is good.

[0041] It can be understood that the flat portion 210 has a flat surface, which is distributed along the thickness direction of the flat portion 210 , and is parallel to the axis of the columnar portion 220 .

[0042] It should be understood that the flat portion 210 has flat surfaces, which refer to two surfaces distributed along the thickness direction of the flat portion 210 , and the area of ​​the flat surfaces is generally larger than the area of ​​other surfaces of the flat portion 210 .

[0043] When the distribution direction of the flat surface is not limited, there are many situations for the connection between the flat part 210 and the columnar part 220. Among them, the plane where the flat surface is located is perpendicular to the axis of the columnar part 220. If the plane where the flat surface is located is perpendicular to the axis of the columnar part 220, then when the cigarette holder 200 rotates around the axis of the columnar part 220, a deeper receiving groove 110 is required to accommodate the flat part 210, that is, the height space of the cigarette shell 100 occupied by the flat part 210 fully buried in the receiving groove 110 will be larger.

[0044] If the flat surface is parallel to the axis of the columnar portion 220, Figure 3 As shown, when the cigarette holder 200 rotates around the axis of the columnar portion 220, the height space of the cigarette case 100 occupied by the flat portion 210 completely buried in the receiving groove 110 will be greatly reduced. The flat surface is parallel to the axis of the columnar portion 220. When the cigarette holder 200 is in the storage state, the flat portion 210 only occupies the space in the height direction of the cigarette case 100 in the thickness direction.

[0045] Reference Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that the flat portion 210 is provided with a protrusion 211 , and when the cigarette holder 200 is in the storage state, the protrusion 211 is located on the side of the flat surface facing the outside of the cigarette housing 100 .

[0046] When the cigarette holder 200 is in the storage state, the cigarette holder 200 is embedded in the receiving groove 110. In order to conveniently rotate the cigarette holder 200 from the storage state to the use state, a protrusion 211 that is easy to move can be provided on the cigarette holder 200. Specifically, the protrusion 211 is located on the side where the flat surface faces the outside of the cigarette shell 100. When the cigarette holder 200 needs to be rotated to the use state, it is only necessary to abut the protrusion 211 with the hand and pull it toward the columnar part 220, so that a torque can be applied to the cigarette holder 200 to rotate the cigarette holder 200 to the use state.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it can be understood that a group of opposite surfaces of the accommodating groove 110 are respectively provided with connecting grooves 120, and the two end surfaces of the columnar portion 220 are respectively provided with connecting columns 230, the connecting columns 230 slide in the connecting grooves 120, and the connecting grooves 120 are provided with a clamping structure to limit the sliding of the connecting columns 230.

[0048] When assembling the cigarette holder 200, it is only necessary to align the connecting column 230 with one of the connecting grooves 120, and then the connecting column 230 can be slid into the connecting groove 120. When the connecting column 230 slides in the connecting groove 120, the end surface of the connecting column 230 is parallel to the bottom surface of the connecting groove 120.

[0049] When the connecting post 230 slides to a predetermined position, the connecting post 230 contacts a clamping structure pre-set in the connecting groove 120. The clamping structure restricts the connecting post 230 from sliding further, and the columnar portion 220 can realize the rotation of the cigarette holder 200 through the rotation of the connecting post 230.

[0050] It is understandable that in a specific embodiment of the snap-on structure, the inner side wall of the connecting groove 120 is provided with a deformable arc-shaped protrusion 121 , the width of the connecting groove 120 at the arc-shaped protrusion 121 is smaller than the diameter of the connecting column 230 , and the connecting column 230 can pass through the arc-shaped protrusion 121 .

[0051] The width of the connecting groove 120 where the arc-shaped protrusion 121 is provided is smaller than the diameter of the connecting column 230. Therefore, when the connecting column 230 passes through the arc-shaped protrusion 121, it is necessary to apply force to the connecting column 230 and make the arc-shaped protrusion 121 partially deformed so as to squeeze the connecting column 230 through the position where the arc-shaped protrusion 121 is located. Therefore, when the cigarette holder 200 is assembled, the arc-shaped protrusion 121 can prevent the connecting column 230 from slipping out of the connecting groove 120, thereby limiting the connecting column 230 from continuing to slide. It should be understood that the arc-shaped protrusion 121 does not need to be set very large. An arc-shaped protrusion 121 with too large a size will greatly reduce the width of the connecting groove 120 at this position, and ultimately cause the connecting column 230 to be unable to pass through the arc-shaped protrusion 121. The width of the connecting groove 120 at the arc-shaped protrusion 121 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the connecting column 230. When no external force is applied to the connecting column 230, it is sufficient to prevent the connecting column 230 from passing through the arc-shaped protrusion 121.

[0052] Reference Figure 6 As shown, it can be understood that a deformable gasket 300 is provided between the columnar portion 220 and the bottom of the accommodating groove 110 , and the gasket 300 is provided with a through hole to connect the first flow channel 111 .

[0053] The deformable gasket 300 can dynamically adjust the gap between the columnar portion 220 and the bottom of the receiving groove 110. That is, the gasket 300 can improve the sealing between the columnar portion 220 and the receiving groove 110, and when the cigarette holder 200 is in the storage state, the possibility of oil leakage can be reduced. At the same time, there is sliding friction between the gasket 300 and the columnar portion 220, and the gasket 300 can also increase the sliding friction of the columnar portion 220, so that the rotation of the cigarette holder 200 has a suitable damping feeling.

[0054] It is understandable that the gasket 300 is provided with an arc surface, and the arc surface fits with the side wall of the columnar portion 220 .

[0055] When the gasket 300 is not provided with an arcuate surface, the gasket 300 itself can also rely on its own deformation to maintain the sealing between the columnar portion 220 and the receiving groove 110. When the gasket 300 is provided with an arcuate surface, the arcuate surface fits with the side wall of the columnar portion 220. At this time, the force applied by the columnar portion 220 to the gasket 300 is more uniform, that is, the stress distribution on the gasket 300 is more balanced. When the columnar portion 220 rotates, the wear of the gasket 300 by the columnar portion 220 is also more balanced.

[0056] It is understandable that the cigarette housing 100 is provided with a perspective window 400 .

[0057] The perspective window 400 provided on the cigarette shell 100 enables the user to observe the remaining amount of the e-liquid in the cigarette shell 100 , and the user can decide when to refill the e-liquid or replace the electronic cigarette according to the remaining amount of the e-liquid, thereby improving the user's usage experience.

[0058] Reference Figure 7 As shown, it can be understood that in a specific structural embodiment of a perspective window 400, a through strip groove 410 is provided on the side wall of the cigarette shell 100, the strip groove 410 is parallel to the height direction of the cigarette shell 100, and the strip groove 410 is covered with a transparent cover plate 420, and the strip groove 410 and the cover plate 420 constitute the perspective window 400. The strip groove 410 is parallel to the height direction of the cigarette shell 100, and when the cigarette shell 100 is placed forward, the liquid level of the cigarette oil can be displayed at the cover plate 420. Preferably, the transparent cover plate 420 can be a transparent glass cover.

[0059] It should be understood that a second strip groove may be provided at the upper end of the cigarette shell 100 for installing a display screen. Combined with various sensors provided in the cigarette shell 100, various data of the electronic cigarette may be displayed on the display screen.

[0060] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
