Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic cigarettes, in particular to an electronic cigarette with a gas regulating wheel. Background Art

[0002] Existing e-cigarette products mostly feature stepless air regulation, primarily based on precise control of the size of the air inlet hole. By adjusting the size of the air inlet hole, the amount of air entering the atomizer is varied, thereby enabling stepless adjustment of the vapor concentration and volume. The core of this stepless air regulation lies in the externally adjustable air inlet hole. This part consists of an air inlet opening and an adjustment ring. By rotating or moving the adjustment ring, the user can precisely control the size of the air inlet hole. When the air inlet hole is larger, air flow increases, allowing more air to enter the atomizer chamber. This air mixes with the vapor generated by the heating coil, forming a lighter vapor. Conversely, when the air inlet hole is smaller, air flow decreases, resulting in a richer vapor.

[0003] However, when adjusting the air intake of the above-mentioned stepless air adjustment electronic cigarette products, consumers need to look at the air holes, and the strength of the adjustment is difficult to control. It is impossible to accurately locate the required air intake volume, and it is impossible to completely restore to the originally adjusted air intake volume after resetting, which affects the consumer experience. Therefore, we need to propose an electronic cigarette with a paddle wheel to solve the above problems, so that it can use the interference between the paddle wheel paddle and the tooth surface to produce a slight pause between the teeth during the process of adjusting the air intake volume, so that consumers can clearly know how many gears have been adjusted, thereby improving the consumer experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide an electronic cigarette with a paddle wheel for adjusting air flow, which can utilize the interference between the paddle wheel paddle and the tooth surface to produce a slight pause between the teeth during the process of adjusting the air intake volume, so that consumers can clearly know the adjustment level, improve the consumer experience, and solve the problems raised in the background technology.

The upper end of the bottom cover is provided with an installation groove for the paddle wheel. A curved surface on one side of the installation groove is provided with a tooth surface. One end of the paddle wheel is engaged with the tooth surface. An air inlet hole corresponding to the air vent is provided on the air regulating ring, and a sealing structure is provided between the air inlet hole and the air vent.

[0007] Preferably, the vent hole is configured as an arc-shaped structure formed by a plurality of circular holes distributed equidistantly, the sealing structure is configured as sealing silica gel, the bottom cover is provided with a fan-shaped groove for filling with the sealing silica gel, and the vent hole is located in the middle of the fan-shaped groove.

[0008] Preferably, two groups of the vent holes and mounting grooves are provided, the mounting grooves and the vent holes are staggered, and the two groups of vent holes are symmetrical with the center of the bottom cover as the axis, and the paddle shifter is located in one of the mounting grooves.

[0009] Preferably, a circular convex edge is provided in the middle of the bottom cover, and a first through hole, a second through hole and a smoke outlet hole for installing a cigarette holder are respectively opened inside the convex edge, and the smoke outlet hole is located between the first through hole and the second through hole.

[0010] Preferably, the annular array of vent holes and mounting grooves is located outside the convex edge, and the air regulating ring is provided with a clearance hole for the convex edge to pass through.

[0011] Preferably, a buckle position is provided on the inner side wall of the air regulating ring, and a buckle ring for buckling with the buckle position is provided on the edge of the bottom cover.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the wheel paddle is fixed to the inner wall of the air regulating ring by a bolt, and the other end of the wheel paddle is provided with a paddle for engaging with the tooth surface.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] The utility model mainly realizes the air regulating function through the cooperation of the air regulating component and the bottom cover, and forms different air intake volumes through the rotation angle of the air regulating ring and the sealing of the sealing structure. When the air regulating component rotates, the paddle wheel will interact with the tooth surface, thereby achieving pauses and generating sounds. When the air vent is fully open, the paddle wheel of the air regulating component is rotated counterclockwise, and each time it passes through a hole in the tooth sealing silicone, the seal will be reduced by one, and the suction resistance will increase accordingly. When the air vent is fully closed, the paddle wheel of the air regulating component is rotated clockwise, and each time it passes through a hole in the tooth sealing silicone, the seal will be reduced by one, and the suction resistance will decrease accordingly, so that consumers can clearly know how many gears have been adjusted, thereby improving consumer experience.
