[0025] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementations.
[0026] See also Figures 1 to 5The utility model provides an environmentally friendly electronic cigarette, including a shell 1, a cigarette cartridge 2 and a battery 3. The shell 1 includes a storage shell 11, a mouthpiece 12 and a bottom cover 13. A storage chamber 111 is provided in the storage shell 11. The mouthpiece 12 is detachably connected to the first end of the storage shell 11 and covers the cavity opening at one end of the cavity 111. When a user smokes, he only needs to suck the mouthpiece 12 to inhale smoke. The bottom cover 13 is connected to the other end of the storage shell 11 and covers the cavity opening at the other end of the cavity 111, so that the cigarette cartridge 2 and the battery 3 are located between the mouthpiece 12 and the bottom cover 13.
[0027] The cartridge 2 is located in the accommodating chamber 111 and is used to atomize the smoke oil to form smoke. The cartridge 2 includes an oil cup 21, an atomizing core 22, a third electrode 23 and a fourth electrode 24. The oil cup 21 is used to store the smoke oil. The oil cup 21 contains oil-absorbing cotton 25, which is used to absorb the smoke oil. A receiving groove 211 is provided at the lower end surface of the oil cup 21, and the receiving groove 211 is connected to the atomizing core 22. The groove wall of the receiving groove 211 is provided with a wiring groove 212, which extends to the lower end surface of the oil cup 21. The atomizing core 22 is located in the oil cup 21 and is used to atomize the smoke oil. The atomizing core 22 includes a fixed tube 221, an oil-conducting cotton tube 222 and an electric heating element 223. The fixed tube 221 is located in the oil-absorbing cotton 25. The oil-conducting cotton tube 222 is located in the fixed tube 221 and is used to conduct the smoke oil at the oil-absorbing cotton 25 to the electric heating element 223.
[0028] The electric heating element 223 is located in the oil-conducting cotton tube 222 and is used to atomize the e-liquid. The third electrode 23 is sleeved on the lower end of the oil cup 21 and is electrically connected to one end of the electric heating element 223 of the atomization core 22. The electric heating element 223 is electrically connected to the third electrode 23 via an electronic wire through a wiring groove 212, and one end of the electronic wire is clamped between the third electrode 23 and the lower end surface of the oil cup 21. The fourth electrode 24 is installed in the receiving groove 211 at the lower end of the oil cup 21 and is electrically connected to the other end of the electric heating element 223 of the atomization core 22. By setting the wiring groove 212, it is better to avoid affecting the fourth electrode 24. In this embodiment, the fourth electrode 24 is a spring.
[0029] The battery 3 is located in the accommodating cavity 111 and is detachably connected to the cigarette cartridge 2. Therefore, it is convenient to separate the battery 3 from the cigarette cartridge 2 during recycling, so as to facilitate classified recycling. The battery 3 includes an outer sleeve 31, a battery cell 32, an insulating barrier 33, a first electrode 34, a second electrode 35 and an airflow sensing controller 36. The outer sleeve 31 is provided with a trigger pore 311, which is located on the side wall of the outer sleeve 31. The height of the trigger pore 311 is higher than the upper end surface of the battery cell 32. Therefore, the trigger pore 311 will be blocked by the battery 3, thereby improving the reliability of the air path.
[0030] The battery core 32 is located in the outer sleeve 31 and is electrically connected to the outer sleeve 31. The battery core 32 is electrically connected to the outer sleeve 31 directly or electrically connected to the outer sleeve 31 through the first electrode 34, which is not specifically limited here. The insulating barrier 33 is located in one end of the outer sleeve 31 and is sleeved on the second electrode 35. A limiting step 331 is provided at the end surface of the insulating barrier 33 facing the cartridge 2. The first electrode 34 is connected to the outer sleeve 31 and abuts against the third electrode 23 of the cartridge 2 to achieve electrical connection. The first electrode 34 is sleeved on the insulating barrier 33, and the outer wall surface of the first electrode 34 abuts against the inner wall surface of the outer sleeve 31. Therefore, it is not only easy to assemble, but also the electrical connection is reliable.
[0031] The first electrode 34 abuts against the third electrode 23, and includes a connecting ring portion 341 and a limiting ring portion 342. The connecting ring portion 341 is inserted into the outer sleeve 31, and the outer wall surface of the connecting ring portion 341 abuts against the inner wall surface of the outer sleeve 31. The limiting ring portion 342 is located at the limiting step 331 and is connected to the connecting ring portion 341. The cigarette cartridge 2 abuts against the limiting ring portion 342 to achieve electrical connection. Since the limiting ring portion 342 is located at the limiting step 331, the limiting ring portion 342 is not easy to move. Therefore, the limiting ring portion 342 is more reliably electrically connected to the third electrode 23 of the cigarette cartridge 2, and it is not easy to cause poor contact problems.
[0032] The second electrode 35 is tubular, connected to the insulating barrier 33 and electrically connected to the fourth electrode 24 of the cartridge 2, that is, the first end of the spring elastically abuts against the oil cup 21, and the second end of the spring elastically abuts against the second electrode 35, that is, the fourth electrode 24 elastically abuts against the second electrode 35. In addition, one end of the second electrode 35 extends into the receiving groove 211, and the second electrode 35 is provided with an air outlet 351, and the triggering air hole 311 is connected to the atomizing core 22 of the cartridge 2 through the air outlet 351. This structure can make the electrical connection more stable and reliable, and avoid the problem of poor contact.
[0033] The airflow sensing controller 36 is located in the outer sleeve 31 and is electrically connected to the battery cell 32 and the second electrode 35. The airflow sensing controller 36 is connected to the triggering air hole 311. The airflow sensing controller 36 includes an elastic fixing seat 361, a control board 362 and an airflow sensor 363. The elastic fixing seat 361 is located in the connecting ring portion 341 and elastically abuts against the inner wall surface of the connecting ring portion 341. The surface of the elastic fixing seat 361 facing the battery cell 32 is provided with a fixing groove 3611. The end surface of the elastic fixing seat 361 facing the cigarette cartridge 2 is provided with an air guide groove 3612 and an air guide hole 3613. The air guide groove 3612 corresponds to the position of the air outlet hole 351 and is connected to the triggering air hole 311 and the air outlet hole 351. The air guide hole 3613 is connected to the fixing groove 3611 and the air guide groove 3612. The opening of the air guide hole 3613 facing the cigarette cartridge 2 is deviated from the opening of the air outlet hole 351. Therefore, the leaked smoke oil is not likely to contaminate the airflow sensor 363 .
[0034] The control board 362 is located in the connecting ring portion 341 and is sleeved on the second electrode 35, and the control board 362 is located between the insulating barrier 33 and the elastic fixing seat 361. The airflow sensor 363 is located in the connecting ring portion 341 and is electrically connected to the control board 362. The triggering air hole 311 is connected to the airflow sensor 363 and the outside of the electronic cigarette. Specifically, the airflow sensor 363 is located in the fixing groove 3611 to be reliably fixed at the elastic fixing seat 361.
[0035] When smoking, external air enters the outer sleeve 31 through the trigger air hole 311, then flows into the air outlet 351 through the air guide groove 3612, and then flows into the atomizer core 22 from the air outlet 351. It can be understood that the bottom cover 13 is provided with an external air flow introduction hole (not shown in the figure) connected to the trigger air hole 311. When recycling, take out the suction nozzle 12, and then turn the storage shell 11 upside down, so that the cigarette cartridge 2 and the battery 3 can slide out, and the cigarette cartridge 2 and the battery 3 are automatically separated, so that the battery 3 can be directly recycled.
[0036] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 In another embodiment, the structure of this embodiment is similar to that of the above embodiment, and the main difference is that: the number of the atomizer core 22 and the number of the battery 3 in this embodiment are both two, and the atomizer core 22 and the battery 3 are arranged one by one. Since the battery 3 of this embodiment has the same structure as that of the battery 3 of the above embodiment, it also has the same technical effect, and its structure is not repeated here.
[0037] In summary, since the battery 3 of the utility model includes an outer sleeve 31, a battery cell 32, an insulating barrier 33, a first electrode 34, a second electrode 35 and an airflow sensing controller 36, the outer sleeve 31 is provided with a triggering air hole 311, the battery cell 32 is located in the outer sleeve 31 and is electrically connected to the outer sleeve 31, the insulating barrier 33 is located in one end of the outer sleeve 31, the first electrode 34 is connected to the outer sleeve 31 and is electrically connected to the cigarette cartridge 2, the second electrode 35 is connected to the insulating barrier 33 and is electrically connected to the cigarette cartridge 2, and the airflow sensing controller 36 is located in the outer sleeve 31 and is connected to the triggering air hole 311. Therefore, when recycling, only the suction nozzle 12 or the bottom cover 13 needs to be taken out, and the battery 3 with the airflow sensing controller 36 and the battery cell 32 can be taken out, so that it is convenient to classify and recycle electronic components and better protect the natural environment.
