Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an electronic cigarette. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic cigarettes generally consist of an atomizing device, a mouthpiece, and an electronic control unit. The atomizing device includes an atomizing assembly with an atomizing chamber inside, which is connected to the mouthpiece. When a user inhales, outside air triggers the microphone of the electronic control unit, which then activates the atomizing assembly. The atomizing assembly atomizes the absorbed e-liquid, and the atomized vapor flows out through the mouthpiece connected to the atomizing chamber for the user to inhale.
[0003] Some e-cigarette atomizing devices can have at least two atomizing components, each capable of storing the same or different flavored e-liquids. This allows users to switch between or mix the components according to their personal preferences. However, current e-cigarette designs are flawed, making switching between different atomizing components in the atomizing device quite complex. Utility Model Content

[0017] Optionally, the nozzle has a first mist-suction channel and a second mist-suction channel inside, the first mist-suction channel being connected to the first atomization chamber, and the second mist-suction channel being connected to the second atomization chamber.
[0018] In the electronic cigarette of this application, the actuating component has a first position, a second position, and a third position.

[0034] This application discloses an electronic cigarette, which includes a shell, a mouthpiece, an atomizing device, and a vapor adjustment component. An air inlet is provided at the bottom of the shell. The mouthpiece is located at the top of the shell. The atomizing device is located inside the shell, and a first atomizing chamber and a second atomizing chamber are formed inside the atomizing device. The air inlet, the first atomizing chamber, and the mouthpiece communicate to form a first air passage, and the air inlet, the second atomizing chamber, and the mouthpiece communicate to form a second air passage. The vapor adjustment component is located at the air inlet and includes a ventilation component and a toggle component. The toggle component is slidably connected to the ventilation component and has a first position, a second position, and a third position. When the toggle component is in the first position, the first air passage is connected to the outside atmosphere; when the toggle component is in the second position, the second air passage is connected to the outside atmosphere; when the toggle component is in the third position, both the first and second air passages are connected to the outside atmosphere.

Therefore, by switching the actuating component between the first, second, and third positions, the connection between the first and second airways can be controlled to open or close, thereby allowing the electronic cigarette of this application to regulate the atomization of the atomizing device.
[0036] The following will mainly describe the specific structure of electronic cigarettes.
[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The electronic cigarette 100 of this application includes a shell 110, and an air inlet 111 is provided at the bottom of the shell 110. The air inlet 111 can communicate with the outside atmosphere. The shape of the air inlet 111 can be circular, triangular, polygonal, waist-shaped, elliptical, or irregular, etc.
[0038] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The electronic cigarette 100 of this application includes a mouthpiece 120. The mouthpiece 120 is located at the top of the outer casing 110. The mouthpiece 120 is in communication with the outside atmosphere. The external shape of the mouthpiece 120 can be cylindrical or flat cylindrical. The mouthpiece 120 and the outer casing 110 can be integrally formed. The mouthpiece 120 and the outer casing 110 can also be connected by snap-fit, adhesive, screw, or magnetic attraction.
[0039] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The electronic cigarette 100 of this application includes an atomizing device 130. The atomizing device 130 is disposed within the housing 110. The atomizing device 130 is capable of atomizing e-liquid.
[0040] Please see Figure 4 The atomizing device 130 may include a first atomizing component, and a first atomizing chamber 131 is formed inside the first atomizing component. A first mist-suction channel 121 may be formed inside the mouthpiece, and the air inlet 111, the first atomizing chamber 131 and the mouthpiece (specifically the first mist-suction channel 121) may be connected to form a first air passage.
[0041] Please see Figure 4The atomizing device 130 may include a second atomizing component, the second atomizing component having a second atomizing chamber 132 formed inside. The air inlet 111, the second atomizing chamber 132, and the first mist-absorbing channel 121 may be connected to form a second air passage, meaning the first atomizing chamber 131 and the second atomizing chamber 132 are connected to the same mist-absorbing channel. Alternatively, the mouthpiece may have a second mist-absorbing channel 122 formed inside, and the air inlet 111, the second atomizing chamber 132, and the second mist-absorbing channel 122 may be connected to form a second air passage, meaning the first atomizing chamber 131 and the second atomizing chamber 132 are connected to different mist-absorbing channels.
[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The electronic cigarette 100 of this application includes a vapor adjustment component 140. The vapor adjustment component 140 can control the opening or closing of the first atomizing component and the second atomizing component by controlling the connection between the first air passage and the second air passage and the outside atmosphere, that is, to regulate the atomization of the atomizing device 130.
[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The air regulating assembly 140 includes an air vent 141 and an actuating member 142, the actuating member 142 being slidably connected to the air vent 141. The actuating member 142 has a first position (e.g., Figure 5 As shown), the second position (as shown) Figure 6 (as shown) and the third position (as shown) Figure 7 (As shown). The actuating member 142 can slide relative to the venting member 141, thereby switching the actuating member 142 between the first position, the second position and the third position.
[0044] Please see Figure 5 When the actuating element 142 is in the first position, the first air passage is connected to the outside atmosphere, while the second air passage is not connected to the outside atmosphere. Specifically, the venting element 141 is connected to the wall of the air inlet 111, and the venting element 141 has a first vent hole 143 and a second vent hole 144. The first vent hole 143 is connected to the first air passage, and the second vent hole 144 is connected to the second air passage. There can be one first vent hole 143 and one second vent hole 144. The first vent hole 143 is not closed by the actuating element 142 and is connected to the outside atmosphere; the actuating element 142 closes the second vent hole 144, preventing it from connecting to the outside atmosphere. Alternatively, there can be at least two first vent holes 143 and at least two second vent holes 144; at least one first vent hole 143 is not closed by the actuating element 142, and the actuating element 142 closes all second vent holes 144.
[0045] Please see Figure 6When the actuating element 142 is in the second position, the second air passage is connected to the outside atmosphere, while the first air passage is not connected to the outside atmosphere. Specifically, there can be one first vent hole 143 and one second vent hole 144; the second vent hole 144 is not closed by the actuating element 142 and is connected to the outside atmosphere, while the actuating element 142 closes the first vent hole 143, preventing the first vent hole 143 from connecting to the outside atmosphere. Alternatively, there can be at least two first vent holes 143 and at least two second vent holes 144; at least one second vent hole 144 is not closed by the actuating element 142, and the actuating element 142 closes all the first vent holes 143.
[0046] Please see Figure 7 When the actuating element 142 is in the third position, both the first and second air passages are connected to the outside atmosphere. Specifically, there may be one first vent hole 143 and one second vent hole 144; the first vent hole 143 is not completely closed by the actuating element 142, allowing it to connect to the outside atmosphere, and the second vent hole 144 is not completely closed by the actuating element 142, allowing it to connect to the outside atmosphere. Alternatively, there may be at least two first vent holes 143 and at least two second vent holes 144, with the actuating element 142 closing a portion of the first vent holes 143 and a portion of the second vent holes 144. The term "partial" can refer to a portion of the number of first vent holes 143 or second vent holes 144, or it can refer to a portion of the hole area of the first vent holes 143 or second vent holes 144.
[0047] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figures 5 to 7 The actuating element 142 has multiple anti-slip structures 145 on its side away from the venting element 141. The anti-slip structures 145 can be abrasive particles or ribs. This increases the friction between the user and the actuating element 142, making it easier for the user to slide the actuating element 142.
[0048] Please see Figures 2 to 4 The electronic cigarette 100 includes a fixing component 150, which is disposed within and connected to the housing 110. The fixing component 150 is located between the atomizing device 130 and the air inlet 111. The fixing component 150 connects the first atomizing chamber 131 and the air inlet 111, and also connects the second atomizing chamber 132 and the air inlet 111. The air vent 141 is connected to the fixing component 150. Thus, through the setting of the fixing component 150, the connection between the air regulating component 140 and the air inlet 111 is relatively stable.
[0049] Please see Figures 2 to 4The fixing assembly 150 includes a fixing plate 152, which is disposed within and connected to the housing 110. The fixing plate 152 is connected to the venting element 141. For details, please refer to... Figure 3 The fixed plate 152 may be provided with a connecting groove 156 corresponding to the air inlet 111, and the vent 141 is connected to the connecting groove 156. The connecting groove 156 may be provided with a first slot and a second slot, the first slot connecting the first air passage and the first vent 143, and the second slot connecting the second air passage and the second vent 144.
[0050] Please see Figures 2 to 4 The fixing assembly 150 includes a fixing base 153, which is located between the atomizing device 130 and the fixing plate 152, and is connected to the housing. A first connecting cylinder 154 and a second connecting cylinder 155 pass through the fixing base 153. The first connecting cylinder 154 connects to a first air passage and a first slot, and the second connecting cylinder 155 connects to a second air passage and a second slot. Specifically, one end of the first connecting cylinder 154 is connected to the wall of the first slot, and one end of the second connecting cylinder 155 is connected to the wall of the second slot.
[0051] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The air regulating component 140 includes a connector 146, which connects to the venting component 141. The fixing component 150 has a clearance opening 151, through which the connector 146 passes. Specifically, the fixing plate 152 has a first clearance opening, and the fixing seat 153 has a second clearance opening corresponding to the first clearance opening. The connector 146 passes through both the first and second clearance openings. The connector 146 and the venting component 141 can be integrally formed or detachably connected (by snap-fit, adhesive, or screw, etc.).
[0052] Please see Figures 2 to 4 The electronic cigarette 100 includes an electronic control device 160, a portion of which is located between the atomizing device 130 and the fixing component 150. Specifically, the electronic control device 160 includes a circuit board located between the atomizing device 130 and the fixing component 150. The circuit board can connect the atomizing device 130 and the fixing component 150; the circuit board is electrically connected to the atomizing device 130, and the circuit board can abut or snap onto the fixing component 150.
[0053] Please see Figures 2 to 4 The end of the first connecting cylinder 154 furthest from the first slot is inserted into the electrical control device 160 (which may specifically be a circuit board), and the end of the second connecting cylinder 155 furthest from the second slot is inserted into the electrical control device 160 (which may specifically be a circuit board). Therefore, the first connecting cylinder 154 effectively connects the first atomizing chamber 131 and the air inlet 111, and the second connecting cylinder 155 effectively connects the second atomizing chamber 132 and the air inlet 111.
[0054] Connector 146 can be connected to electrical control device 160 (specifically, a circuit board). This makes the connection of the air regulating assembly 140 more stable. For details, please refer to... Figure 3 The connector 146 has a connection notch 147, and the electrical control device 160 has a connection protrusion 161 corresponding to the connection notch 147. Therefore, the connection between the connector 146 and the electrical control device 160 is relatively good.
[0055] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The electronic cigarette 100 includes a seal 170 located between the atomizing device 130 and the electronic control device 160. The seal 170 connects the first atomizing chamber 131 and the fixing assembly 150, and also connects the second atomizing chamber 132 and the fixing assembly 150. Specifically, the seal 170 has a first connecting channel and a second connecting channel; one end of the first connecting channel connects to the first atomizing assembly and communicates with the first atomizing chamber 131, and the other end connects to a first connecting tube 154 which passes through one end of the circuit board; one end of the second connecting channel connects to the second atomizing assembly and communicates with the second atomizing chamber 132, and the other end connects to a second connecting tube 155 which passes through one end of the circuit board.
