[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , which is an embodiment of an e-cigarette valve structure that optimizes the smoothness of the air-adjusting valve and the consistency of the hand feeling. The embodiment of this solution is the cigarette rod host part of a refillable e-cigarette with adjustable air.

[0022] In an e-cigarette valve structure that optimizes the smoothness of the air-adjusting valve and the consistency of the hand feeling disclosed in this embodiment, it includes a cigarette rod host. An air inlet is provided on the side of the cigarette rod host, and an air-adjusting valve 4 structure is provided at the air inlet. The cigarette rod host includes a host shell 1 and an inner bracket 2 sleeved inside the host shell 1. The air inlet includes a first air inlet 101 provided on the side wall of the host shell 1, and a second air inlet 201 is provided on the side of the inner bracket 2 corresponding to the position of the first air inlet 101. An air inlet passage 202 that communicates with the second air inlet 201 and extends to the upper end of the inner bracket 2 is provided inside the inner bracket 2. The air-adjusting valve 4 structure includes a silica gel part 3 sleeved at the second air inlet 201. The silica gel part 3 is provided with a through hole 301 at the tightly sleeved second opening, and groove positions 302 are provided on the silica gel part 3 above the through hole 301 and on the relative two sides of the through hole 301. An air-adjusting valve 4 that can slide along the length direction of the groove position 302 is provided in the groove position 302. Convex strips are provided in the middle of the bottom of the groove on the relative two sides of the through hole 301 and are arranged parallel to the long side of the groove position 302. The convex strips are used to elastically abut against the bottom of the air-adjusting valve 4. The air-adjusting valve 4 slides in the groove position 302 to adjust the size of the relative communication port between the first air inlet 101 and the second air inlet 201, or isolate the first air inlet 101 from the second air inlet 201 to close the air inlet.

[0023] Furthermore, the convex strips and the silica gel part 3 are integrally formed. The convex strips extend from the relative two side edges of the through hole 301 to the two ends of the groove position 302 respectively to form a first convex strip 3021 and a second convex strip 3022 in the same straight line direction. The front and rear ends of the first convex strip 3021 and the second convex strip 3022 are provided with inclined planes.

[0024] Furthermore, the widths of the first convex strip 3021 and the second convex strip 3022 are one-third to one-half of the width inside the groove position 302.

Since there is a certain tolerance in the injection molding of silicone products, it is easy to cause the groove position 302 of the silicone member 3 and the air regulating valve 4 made of silicone to be too tight or too loose in assembly due to the accumulation of tolerances. Therefore, a convex strip that is elastically cushioned at the bottom of the air regulating valve 4 is designed in the groove position 302, and the convex strip is centered and the width is one-third to one-half of the width in the groove position 302, so that the elastic contact surface between the convex strip and the bottom of the air regulating valve 4 is guaranteed, and it does not form a too large contact surface with the bottom of the air regulating valve 4. This achieves a tolerance range between the silicone component 3 and the air regulating valve 4, which is beneficial to improving the situation where the air regulating valve 4 and the silicone component 3 are assembled too tightly or too tightly, and the front and rear ends of the convex strip are designed as sloped surfaces, which is beneficial to optimizing the smoothness of pushing the air regulating valve 4 and the consistency of the feel.

[0027] Furthermore, the air regulating valve 4 is a strip-shaped body with the same shape as the groove position 302, the width of the air regulating valve 4 is the same as the groove width of the groove position 302, the length of the air regulating valve 4 is smaller than the length of the groove position 302, and the valve body of the air regulating valve 4 is divided into an air regulating through hole 401 part and a solid part along its length direction, the air regulating through hole 401 part is provided with at least one air regulating through hole 401, and a toggle part is provided on the rear side of the air regulating through hole 401 part, and the toggle part passes through the first air inlet 101 of the main housing 1, and the air regulating valve 4 is moved in the groove position 302 by toggling the toggle part.

[0028] Preferably, the air regulating valve 4 is made of silicone, and the toggle portion is a connecting hole 402 provided at the rear side of the air regulating through hole 401 of the air regulating valve 4 , and a push button 5 is tightly inserted in the connecting hole 402 .

[0029] Preferably, the gas regulating through holes 401 include three, the three gas regulating through holes 401 are arranged front to back, and the apertures of the three gas regulating through holes 401 are distributed from large to small.

[0030] Preferably, a second convex ring portion 403 is provided at the edge of the upper surface of the air regulating valve 4, and the second convex ring portion 403 is in close fit with the inner wall of the main machine housing 1. By designing the second convex ring portion 403 of the air regulating valve 4, it is beneficial to prevent air leakage caused by the gap between the air regulating valve 4 and the main machine housing 1.
