Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an electronic cigarette. Background Technology
[0002] High-capacity e-cigarettes typically include a refill tank, which can store a large amount of e-liquid, allowing for a continuous supply of e-liquid. The atomizing component absorbs the e-liquid from the tank and, powered by the power supply, atomizes it. The atomized vapor then flows out through the mouthpiece, which connects to the atomizing chamber, for the user to inhale.
[0003] However, the existing design of large-capacity e-cigarettes is not reasonable enough. The sealing effect between the e-liquid supply tank and the e-liquid storage tank is not good. Gas in the e-liquid supply tank and the e-liquid storage tank can easily flow between the two, resulting in excessively high gas pressure in the e-liquid storage tank, which in turn makes the e-cigarette prone to leakage. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this application is to provide an electronic cigarette and an electronic cigarette that solves the technical problem of easy oil leakage caused by poor sealing in large-capacity electronic cigarettes.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this application provides an electronic cigarette, which includes:
[0006] The shell has an internal oil storage chamber and an oil supply chamber;
[0007] A separator is disposed between the oil storage chamber and the oil supply chamber, and the separator forms an oil passage connecting the oil storage chamber and the oil supply chamber;
[0008] An oil inlet control component is disposed in the oil passage, and the oil inlet control component is movable along its axial direction to open or block the oil passage.
[0009] A first limiting member is fixedly connected to the housing on one side, and slidably connected to the oil inlet control assembly on the other side; and
[0010] A drive assembly is used to drive the oil inlet control assembly to block the oil passage. The drive assembly includes a first drive member and a second drive member. The first drive member is connected to the oil inlet control assembly, and the second drive member is connected to the housing, the separator, or the first limiting member. The first drive member and the second drive member repel or attract each other.
[0011] Optionally, one end of the first limiting member is connected to the separator.
[0012] Optionally, the first limiting member is disposed within the oil supply chamber.
[0013] Optionally, the first limiting member is cylindrical, and one end of the oil inlet control component is sleeved with the first limiting member.
[0014] Optionally, the second driving member is connected to the first limiting member, and the first driving member is positioned close to the second driving member.
[0015] Optionally, both ends of the oil inlet control component extend out of the oil passage, one end of the oil inlet control component is used to block the oil passage, and the other end of the oil inlet control component is connected to the first limiting member.
[0016] Optionally, the end of the oil inlet control component connected to the first limiting member forms an oil passage.
[0017] Optionally, one end of the oil inlet control component connected to the first limiting member can be used to block the oil passage.
[0018] Optionally, the electronic cigarette further includes a second limiting member, one end of which is connected to the oil inlet control component, and the other end of which is used to abut against the first limiting member.
[0019] Optionally, when the electronic cigarette is placed upright, the oil storage chamber is located above the oil supply chamber, and the force exerted when the first driving member and the second driving member are at their farthest distance is less than the sum of the gravity of the oil inlet control component and the gravity of the first driving member.
[0020] In the electronic cigarette of this application, the oil inlet control component, limited by the first limiting member, can move axially under external force. When the external force on the oil inlet control component is less than the force of the driving component, the driving component moves to block the oil passage. When the external force on the oil inlet control component (the resultant force of the other external forces is opposite to the driving force of the driving component) is greater than the force of the driving component, the oil inlet control component moves to open the oil passage. Thus, the opening and closing of the oil passage in the electronic cigarette of this application is controllable, gas does not easily flow spontaneously between the oil supply chamber and the oil storage chamber, the gas pressure in the oil storage chamber is balanced, and oil leakage is not easy. The oil inlet control component, limited by the first limiting member, will not tilt under the action of the driving component and other external forces, and has a better movement effect, thus also having a better sealing effect on the oil passage.

[0032] This application discloses an electronic cigarette, which may include a housing, a separator, an oil inlet control assembly, a first limiting member, and a drive assembly. The housing has an oil storage chamber and an oil supply chamber formed inside. The separator is disposed between the oil storage chamber and the oil supply chamber, and forms an oil passage connecting the two chambers. The oil inlet control assembly passes through the oil passage and is axially movable to open or block the passage. One side of the first limiting member is fixedly connected to the housing, and the other side is slidably connected to the oil inlet control assembly. The drive assembly drives the oil inlet control assembly to block the oil passage. The drive assembly includes a first drive member and a second drive member. The first drive member is connected to the oil inlet control assembly, and the second drive member is connected to the housing, the separator, or the first limiting member. The first and second drive members repel or attract each other.
[0033] In this electronic cigarette application, the oil inlet control component, limited by a first limiting member, can move axially under external force. When the external force on the oil inlet control component is less than the force of the driving component, the driving component moves to block the oil passage. When the external force on the oil inlet control component (the resultant force of the other external forces is opposite to the driving force of the driving component) is greater than the force of the driving component, the oil inlet control component moves to open the oil passage. Therefore, the opening and closing of the oil passage in this electronic cigarette application is controllable, gas does not easily flow spontaneously between the oil supply chamber and the oil storage chamber, the gas pressure in the oil storage chamber is balanced, and oil leakage is not easily prevented. The oil inlet control component, limited by the first limiting member, will not tilt under the action of the driving component and other external forces, resulting in a better movement effect and thus a better sealing effect on the oil passage.
[0034] The following will mainly describe the specific structure of electronic cigarettes.
[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The electronic cigarette 100 of this application may include a housing 110. The cross-section of the housing 110 may be circular, polygonal, elliptical, oblong, or irregular in shape, etc., and is not limited thereto. The housing 110 may be made of transparent or opaque material. The housing 110 may be made of plastic or metal material.
[0036] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The housing 110 has an oil storage chamber 111 and an oil supply chamber 112 inside. The oil supply chamber 112 can supply oil to the oil storage chamber 111.
[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 4The electronic cigarette 100 of this application may include a separator 120. The separator 120 may be disposed within the housing 110. The separator 120 and the housing 110 may be integrally formed or detachably connected, such as by bonding, screwing, or snap-fitting. The separator 120 may be disposed between the oil storage chamber 111 and the oil supply chamber 112, and the separator 120 may have an oil passage 121 through which the oil storage chamber 111 and the oil supply chamber 112 are connected. The separation of the separator 120 ensures that the oil supply chamber 112 and the oil storage chamber 111 can only be connected through the oil passage 121, thereby controlling the connection and closure of the oil storage chamber 111 and the oil supply chamber 112 by opening or blocking the oil passage 121.
[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The electronic cigarette 100 of this application may include an oil inlet control assembly 130. The oil inlet control assembly 130 may be disposed in the oil passage 121. The oil inlet control assembly 130 is movable along its axial direction to open or close the oil passage 121. Thus, the connection and closure of the oil storage chamber 111 and the oil supply chamber 112 can be controlled by the oil inlet control assembly 130.
[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The oil inlet control assembly 130 includes a connecting rod 131, a sealing element 132, and a connecting element 133. The connecting rod 131 passes through the oil passage 121, with both ends of the connecting rod 131 extending outside the oil passage 121. One end of the connecting rod 131 located in the oil storage chamber 111 is connected to the sealing element 132, and the other end of the connecting rod 131 located in the oil supply chamber 112 is connected to the connecting element 133. The sealing element 132 can be used to block the oil passage 121, and the connecting element 133 can also be used to block the oil passage 121, or it can be used without blocking the oil passage 121.
[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The electronic cigarette 100 of this application may include a first limiting member 140. The first limiting member 140 may be disposed within the housing 110. The first limiting member 140 may be used to limit the oil inlet control assembly 130 so that it does not tilt during movement.
[0041] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 One side of the first limiting member 140 is fixedly connected to the housing 110, and the other side of the first limiting member 140 is slidably connected to the oil inlet control assembly 130. Thus, the first limiting member 140 can limit the oil inlet control assembly 130, giving it a better movement effect. The first limiting member 140 and the housing 110 can be integrally formed, or they can be detachably connected, for example, by snap-fit, adhesive, or screw connection.
[0042] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4One end of the first limiting member 140 is connected to the separator 120. This makes the connection of the first limiting member 140 more stable and provides better limiting effect on the oil inlet control component 130. The first limiting member 140 and the separator 120 can be integrally formed, or they can be detachably connected, for example, by snap-fit, adhesive, or screw connection.
[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The first limiting member 140 is cylindrical, and one end of the oil inlet control assembly 130 is sleeved with the first limiting member 140. Therefore, the first limiting member 140 provides a good limiting effect on the oil inlet control assembly 130. For details, please refer to... Figures 1 to 4 The first limiting member 140 includes a connecting end 142, which is connected to the separator 120. The oil inlet control component 130 is inserted into the connecting end 142. The oil inlet control component 130 is partially located inside the first limiting member 140 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first limiting member 140.
[0044] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first limiting member 140 is located inside the oil supply chamber 112. The oil supply chamber 112 is generally more spacious than the oil storage chamber 111, which makes the installation of the first limiting member 140 more convenient.
[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The electronic cigarette 100 of this application includes a driving component 150, which drives the oil inlet control component 130 to block the oil passage 121. Specifically, when the external force on the oil inlet control component 130 is less than the force on the driving component 150, the driving component 150 moves to block the oil passage 121. When the external force on the oil inlet control component 130 (the resultant force of the other external forces is opposite to the force of the driving component 150) is greater than the force on the driving component 150, the oil inlet control component 130 moves to open the oil passage 121.
[0046] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The drive assembly 150 includes a first drive member 151 and a second drive member 152. The first drive member 151 is connected to the oil inlet control assembly 130, and the second drive member 152 is connected to the housing 110, the separator 120, or the first limiting member 140. The first drive member 151 and the second drive member 152 repel or attract each other. The drive assembly 150 can drive the oil inlet control assembly 130 to move to block the oil passage 121.
[0047] In one embodiment, the first driving member 151 and the second driving member 152 repel each other, and the first driving member 151 and the second driving member 152 are magnets.
[0048] Please see Figure 3In another embodiment, the first driving member 151 and the second driving member 152 attract each other, and both the first driving member 151 and the second driving member 152 can be magnets; or, either the first driving member 151 or the second driving member 152 is a magnet, and the other is made of a ferromagnetic material.
[0049] Please see Figure 3 The second driving component 152 is connected to the first limiting component 140, making the connection of the second driving component 152 relatively convenient. The first driving component 151 can be positioned close to the second driving component 152. As a result, the distance between the first driving component 151 and the second driving component 152 is relatively close, and the interaction force between the two is relatively strong, which can effectively drive the oil inlet control component 130 to move.
[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The oil inlet control component 130 has an oil passage 134 formed at one end (i.e., connector 133) connected to the first limiting member 140. Therefore, the connection between the connector 133 and the first limiting member 140 will not significantly obstruct the flow of e-liquid.
[0051] One end of the oil inlet control assembly 130 connected to the first limiting member 140 (i.e., the connector 133) can be used to block the oil passage 121. Thus, the oil inlet control assembly 130 can achieve bidirectional sealing of the oil passage 121, thereby providing a better sealing effect for the oil storage chamber 111 and the oil supply chamber 112.
[0052] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The electronic cigarette 100 also includes a second limiting member 160. One end of the second limiting member 160 is connected to the oil inlet control assembly 130, and the other end of the second limiting member 160 is used to abut against the first limiting member 140. Thus, the second limiting member 160 can limit the relative sliding between the oil inlet control assembly 130 and the first limiting member 140. The second limiting member 160 and the oil inlet control assembly 130 (specifically, it can be a connector 133) are integrally formed, or they can be detachably connected (by snap-fit, adhesive, or screw).
[0053] In one embodiment, when the second limiting member 160 abuts against the first limiting member 140, the oil inlet control assembly 130 opens the oil passage 121. Thus, through the connection between the second limiting member 160 and the first limiting member 140, the oil inlet control assembly 130 effectively opens the oil passage 121.
[0054] Please see Figure 4 The first limiting member 140 is provided with an abutment groove 141 corresponding to the second limiting member 160. Therefore, the connection effect between the first limiting member 140 and the second limiting member 160 is relatively good.
[0055] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the electronic cigarette 100 is placed upright, the oil storage chamber 111 is located above the oil supply chamber 112. In one embodiment, the force exerted when the first driving member 151 and the second driving member 152 are furthest apart is less than the sum of the gravity acting on the oil inlet control assembly 130 and the gravity acting on the first driving member 151. Therefore, when the first driving member 151 and the second driving member 152 are furthest apart, the driving assembly 150 cannot overcome gravity to drive the oil inlet control assembly 130 to move, thus the blocking and opening of the oil passage 121 can be manually controlled.
[0056] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this application and the contents of the specification and drawings of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this application.
