Both the battery accommodation cavity 112 and the docking groove 111 extend along the longitudinal direction of the housing 1, and the center line of the battery accommodation cavity 112 is parallel to the center line of the docking groove 111. Therefore, even if there is leaked e-liquid in the docking groove 111, it is not easy to drip onto the battery.

[0022] The bottom cover 12 is connected to the bottom end of the housing sleeve 11, and a control button 121 is provided on the bottom cover 12, that is, the control button 121 is located at the bottom cover 12. Among them, a groove 122 is provided on the surface of the bottom wall of the bottom cover 12 facing away from the housing sleeve, and the control button 121 is located on the groove wall of the groove 122. Therefore, it is not easy for foreign objects to touch the control button 121. The control button 121 is spaced from the notch of the groove 122, and the control button 121 and the bottom cover 12 are integrally formed. Therefore, it is better to prevent foreign objects from touching the control button 121. In addition, the bottom cover 12 is also provided with a connecting column 123 and an air inlet hole 124, and the connecting column 123 extends in the direction of the controller 4.

[0023] The liquid storage component 2 is used to store e-liquid. One end of the liquid storage component 2 is located in the docking groove of the housing 1, and the other end of the liquid storage component 2 is located outside the housing 1. The liquid storage component 2 is detachably inserted at the docking groove. The liquid storage component 2 includes a liquid storage sleeve 21, a fixed base 22, a sealing base 23, a ventilation pipe 24 and a second electrode 25. One end of the liquid storage sleeve 21 is located in the docking groove 111 of the housing 1, and the other end of the liquid storage sleeve 21 is located outside the housing 1. The fixed base 22 covers the lower end of the liquid storage sleeve 21 and extends into the liquid storage sleeve 21.

[0024] The sealing base 23 is located in the liquid storage sleeve 21 to seal the gap between the liquid storage sleeve 21 and the fixed base 22. The top end of the ventilation pipe 24 is connected to the liquid storage sleeve 21, the lower end of the ventilation pipe 24 is connected to the sealing base 23, and an oil inlet hole 241 is arranged on the side of the ventilation pipe 24. A liquid storage cavity 26 for storing e-liquid is formed between the ventilation pipe 24 and the liquid storage sleeve 21. The liquid storage cavity 26 is communicated with the oil inlet hole 241, and the e-liquid flows to the atomization core 3 through the oil inlet hole 241. The second electrode 25 is fixed at the fixed base 22 and is used for transmitting electric energy.

[0025] The atomization core 3 is located in the housing 1 and is in contact with the liquid storage component 2, and is used for atomizing the e-liquid in the liquid storage component 2. The atomization core 3 includes a first porous liquid guiding member 31, a fixed pipe 32, a second porous liquid guiding member 33 and a heating element 34. The first porous liquid guiding member 31 is located in the ventilation pipe 24 and sleeved outside the fixed pipe 32. The outer wall of the first porous liquid guiding member 31 covers the oil inlet hole 241 to adsorb the e-liquid flowing out of the oil inlet hole 241. The bottom end of the fixed pipe 32 is inserted and connected to the sealing base 23. The second porous liquid guiding member 33 is located in the fixed pipe 32 and is used for adsorbing the e-liquid at the first porous liquid guiding member 31. The heating element 34 is in contact with the second porous liquid guiding member 33 and is electrically connected to the second electrode 25, and is used for atomizing the e-liquid at the second porous liquid guiding member 33. Preferably, the first porous liquid guiding member 31 can be made of fiber or elastic porous foam material. The second porous liquid guiding member 33 can be made of materials such as fiber or porous ceramic. The heating element 34 can be a heating wire or a heating mesh, etc.

[0026] The controller 4 includes a control board 41 and a key 42. The control board 41 is located in the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the heating element 34 of the atomization core 3. A control circuit is arranged on the control board 41. The key 42 is connected to the control board 41 and is electrically connected to the control circuit. The key 42 can be used to turn on the electronic cigarette or adjust the power of the heating element 34, etc. In another embodiment, the key 42 can be used to control the display screen of the electronic cigarette to display the battery level or the liquid level, etc. Therefore, as long as the corresponding control can be achieved, no specific limitation is made here.

[0027] The first elastic seal 5 is located inside the housing 1 and between the control board 41 and the control button 121. When the control button 121 moves in the direction towards the key 42, the control button 121 pushes the first elastic seal 5 to deform towards the key 42. Therefore, not only can the e-liquid be sealed, and it is better to prevent the e-liquid from leaking out from the edge of the control button 121, but also because the first elastic seal 5 has elasticity, the user feels better when pressing. The first elastic seal 5 is provided with an air guide hole 51 and a receiving groove 52. Most of the key 42 is located in the receiving groove 52, which is convenient for assembly and has high production efficiency. Preferably, the first elastic seal 5 is located inside the bottom cover 12 and covers the entire bottom wall of the bottom cover 12, so that the e-liquid can be prevented from leaking from the bottom cover 12. Both the first elastic seal 5 and the control board 41 are sleeved on the connecting column 123, so the fixation is relatively stable and reliable.

[0028] The electronic cigarette of this embodiment further includes a bracket 7, a first electrode 81 and a second elastic seal 82. The bracket 7 is located inside the housing 1 and is connected to the connecting column 123. A diversion cavity 71 is provided inside the bracket 7. The diversion cavity 71 extends along the longitudinal direction of the electronic cigarette. By guiding air through the diversion cavity 71, air leakage is better avoided. The top wall of the bracket 7 is provided with an installation groove 72 and an air outlet hole 73. The air outlet hole 73 is located at one end of the diversion cavity 71. The air outlet hole 73 communicates with the diversion cavity 71 and the atomization core 3. The first electrode 81 is installed on the bracket 7 and abuts against the second electrode 25 for transmitting electric energy to the atomization core 3. The second elastic seal 82 is installed at the bracket 7 and sleeved on the first electrode 81 to seal the gap between the bracket 7 and the first electrode 81. The first elastic seal 5 and the second elastic seal 82 can be made of materials such as silica gel or rubber.

[0029] The electronic cigarette of this embodiment further includes an air flow sensor 83. The air flow sensor 83 is installed in the installation groove 72 and is electrically connected to the control board 41 for sensing the user's smoking action when the user smokes. The control board 41 controls the battery 6 to supply power to the atomization core 3 according to the smoking signal transmitted by the air flow sensor 83. The air outlet hole 73 is arranged in parallel with the installation groove 72 and communicates with the atomization core 3. The air inlet hole 124 communicates with the diversion cavity 71 through the air guide hole 51 to communicate with the atomization core 3. Since the air outlet hole 73 is arranged in parallel with the installation groove 72, the leaked e-liquid is not easily dropped into the air flow sensor 83.

[0030] In summary, since the controller 4 of the present utility model includes a control board 41 and a button 42, the control board 41 is located inside the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the atomization core 3, the button 42 is connected to the control board 41, and the first elastic seal 5 is located inside the housing 1 and between the control board 41 and the control button 121. Therefore, when the user uses it, by pressing the control button 121 with a finger, when the control button 121 moves in the direction of the button 42, the control button 121 pushes the first elastic seal 5 to deform towards the button 42 to press the button 42, thereby controlling the electronic cigarette. The first elastic seal 5 can not only seal the e-liquid and reduce the probability of e-liquid leakage from the control button 121, but also has a certain elasticity, so it has a good feel when pressed and is convenient for the user to use.
