Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to an electronic cigarette. Background Technology
[0002] Current e-cigarettes typically consist of an atomizer and an e-liquid bottle. The atomizer vaporizes the e-liquid, and the e-liquid bottle supplies it with e-liquid. In some e-cigarettes, the flavor of the e-liquid in the atomizer and the e-liquid in the bottle can be different. This allows the atomizer to store at least two flavors of e-liquid when the bottle is filled, providing the user with a rich flavor experience.
[0003] Existing e-cigarettes do not blend well with multiple flavored e-liquids, resulting in differences in taste before and after use, which affects the user's experience. Utility Model Content

[0006] An atomizer has an oil storage chamber, and the atomizer has an oil inlet that communicates with the oil storage chamber, and the oil storage chamber stores a first liquid.
[0007] An oil bottle has an oil supply chamber and an oil supply port communicating with the oil supply chamber. The oil supply chamber stores a second liquid, and the flavor of the atomized first liquid differs from that of the second liquid.
[0008] A mixing component is disposed within the oil storage cavity;
[0009] Under the influence of gravity, the second liquid flows from the oil supply chamber into the oil storage chamber via the oil supply port and the oil inlet;
[0010] Driven by an external force, the mixing component mixes the first liquid and the second liquid in the oil storage chamber.
[0011] Optionally, the atomizer has an atomizing chamber, the oil storage chamber includes a mixing sub-chamber, the mixing sub-chamber is connected to the atomizing chamber, and the mixing element is disposed in the mixing sub-chamber.

[0031] This application discloses an electronic cigarette, which may include an atomizer, an e-liquid bottle, and a mixing element. The atomizer may have an e-liquid reservoir and an inlet communicating with the reservoir, and the reservoir may store a first liquid. The e-liquid bottle may have an e-liquid supply chamber and an inlet communicating with the supply chamber, and the supply chamber may store a second liquid. The flavors of the first and second liquids after atomization may be different. The mixing element may be disposed within the reservoir. Under the influence of gravity, the second liquid may flow into the reservoir through the supply and inlet. Driven by an external force, the mixing element may mix the first and second liquids within the reservoir. Thus, when the second liquid flows into the reservoir and mixes with the first liquid, the mixing element within the reservoir can thoroughly mix the mixture of the first and second liquids, resulting in a more consistent flavor after atomization and a better user experience.
[0032] The following will mainly describe the specific structure of electronic cigarettes.
[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The electronic cigarette 100 of this application may include an atomizer 110. The atomizer 110 may have an e-liquid reservoir 111, which is capable of storing e-liquid. The e-liquid reservoir 111 may store a first liquid. The first liquid may be e-liquid or flavoring, without limitation. When the first liquid is e-liquid, the first liquid may be flavorless e-liquid or flavored e-liquid.
[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The atomizer 110 may have an inlet 112 that connects to the e-liquid reservoir 111, allowing e-liquid to enter the reservoir 111 through the inlet 112. The inlet 112 may be located on one side of the reservoir wall 111. Specifically, the inlet 112 may be located on the top, left, right, or bottom side of the reservoir wall 111.
[0035] The size of the oil inlet 112 can be adapted to the size of the oil reservoir 111. Understandably, in order to facilitate the rapid flow of the second liquid into the oil reservoir 111, the oil inlet 112 can be set relatively large. Of course, if the second liquid needs to flow slowly into the oil reservoir 111, the oil inlet 112 can be set relatively small.
[0036] The shape of the oil inlet 112 can be triangular, square, circular, waist-shaped, polygonal, or irregular, as long as it can achieve the effect of allowing e-liquid to flow into the oil storage chamber 111.
[0037] Please see Figure 1The electronic cigarette 100 proposed in this application may include an e-liquid bottle 120. The e-liquid bottle 120 may have an e-liquid supply chamber 121, which is capable of storing e-liquid. The e-liquid supply chamber 121 may store a second liquid. The flavor of the second liquid after atomization may be different from that of the first liquid. Similarly, the second liquid may be e-liquid or flavoring, as long as the flavor after atomization is different from that of the second liquid.
[0038] Please see Figure 1 The oil bottle 120 may have an oil supply port 122 communicating with the oil supply chamber 121, thereby allowing the e-liquid in the oil supply chamber 121 to flow out through the oil supply port 122. The oil supply port 122 may be located on one side of the chamber wall of the oil supply chamber 121. The size of the oil supply port 122 may also be adapted to the size of the oil supply chamber 121. The shape of the oil supply port 122 may be adapted to the shape of the oil inlet 112, thereby preventing e-liquid leakage when the oil bottle 120 fills the atomizer 110.
[0039] In the electronic cigarette 100 of this application, the number of e-liquid bottles 120 can be at least one. When the number of e-liquid bottles 120 is at least two, the at least two e-liquid bottles 120 can provide e-liquid of the same flavor or different flavors. In this way, the e-liquid storage chamber 111 can contain a mixture of at least two flavors of e-liquid, resulting in a richer flavor profile.
[0040] Under the influence of gravity, the second liquid can flow from the oil supply chamber 121 into the oil storage chamber 111 via the oil supply port 122 and the oil inlet port 112. Specifically, when the user aligns the oil supply port 122 with the oil inlet port 112, the second liquid in the oil supply chamber 121 flows into the oil storage chamber 111 due to gravity.
[0041] The oil bottle 120 and the atomizer 110 can be detachably connected. For example, the oil bottle 120 and the atomizer 110 can be connected by a sleeve, snap-fit, screw, or magnetic adsorption. When the oil bottle 120 and the atomizer 110 are connected, the oil inlet 112 and the oil supply port 122 can be opposite each other, so that the second liquid in the oil supply chamber 121 can flow into the oil storage chamber 111 through the oil supply port 122 and the oil inlet 112.
[0042] When the oil bottle 120 is connected to the atomizer 110, the oil bottle 120 can be located above the atomizer 110. In this case, the oil supply port 122 can be located on the bottom side of the wall of the oil supply chamber 121, and opposite to the oil supply port 122, the oil inlet 112 can be located on the top side of the wall of the oil storage chamber 111. Alternatively, the oil bottle 120 can be located on the left or right side of the atomizer 110. In this case, the oil supply port 122 can be located on the left or right side of the wall of the oil supply chamber 121, and the oil inlet 112 can be located on the right or left side of the wall of the oil storage chamber 111.
[0043] Once the second liquid has flowed almost entirely into the oil storage chamber 111, the oil bottle 120 and the atomizer 110 can remain connected or be disconnected, without limitation.
[0044] The electronic cigarette 100 may include an oil guiding component (not shown), such as an oil guiding cylinder or an oil guiding groove. The two ends of the oil guiding component can be connected to an oil inlet 112 and an oil supply port 122, respectively. Thus, the oil guiding component can guide the flow of the second liquid, making leakage less likely. Of course, the electronic cigarette 100 may also not include an oil guiding component; this application does not limit this, as long as the second liquid can flow into the oil storage chamber 111.
[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The electronic cigarette 100 proposed in this application may include a mixing element 130. The mixing element 130 may be disposed within the oil storage chamber 111. Under external force, the mixing element 130 may mix the first liquid and the second liquid within the oil storage chamber 111. The external force may be manually driven or electrically driven, as will be described in detail later.
[0046] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The atomizer 110 may have an atomizing chamber 113, which may be connected to the oil storage chamber 111. The atomizer 110 may also include an atomizing core assembly (not shown), which may be disposed in the atomizing chamber 113 and is capable of atomizing the mixture of the first liquid and the second liquid in the oil storage chamber 111.
[0047] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The oil storage chamber 111 may include a mixing sub-chamber 114, which may be connected to the atomizing chamber 113. A mixing element 130 may be disposed within the mixing sub-chamber 114. The mixing element 130 may be located within the mixing sub-chamber 114 and mix the e-liquid (a mixture of the first liquid and the second liquid) within the mixing sub-chamber 114. Thus, the mixing element 130 is located within the mixing sub-chamber 114 and will not touch the atomizing core assembly, thereby not interfering with the atomization process of the atomizing core assembly or causing damage to the atomizing core assembly.
[0048] The drainage volume of the mixing element 130 can be greater than or equal to 0.1 ml and less than or equal to 0.5 ml. Therefore, the size of the mixing element 130 is well-suited to the physical properties of e-liquid (a mixture of the first and second liquids), such as its content and viscosity, resulting in a good mixing effect.
[0049] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The number of mixing components 130 can be at least one. The number of mixing components 130 can be adapted to the content setting of the mixture or the number of flavors in the mixture. Generally, when the content of the mixture is relatively high, or when the number of flavors in the mixture is relatively high, the number of mixing components 130 can be set to be relatively high.
[0050] When the number of mixing components 130 is at least two, the at least two mixing components 130 can touch each other during the mixing process, or they can always remain isolated (e.g., Figure 2 and Figure 3 (As shown), no restrictions are imposed.
[0051] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mixing element 130 can be installed near the bottom of the cavity wall of the oil storage cavity 111, so that when the content of the mixture in the oil storage cavity 111 is relatively low, the mixing element 130 still has a relatively good mixing effect.
[0052] The mixing element 130 can be positioned close to the oil inlet 112, so that it can provide a driving force to the second liquid flowing into the oil storage chamber 111, causing the second liquid to mix with the first liquid at a relatively fast speed. Of course, the mixing element 130 can also be positioned away from the oil inlet 112, which can reduce the probability of the mixture splashing or flowing out of the oil inlet 112 during the mixing process.
[0053] The area of the mixing element 130 on any cross section can be larger than the area of the oil inlet 112. Therefore, when the oil inlet 112 is in the open state, the mixing element 130 will not be detached from the oil storage chamber 111 through the oil inlet 112.
[0054] There are multiple ways in which the mixing component 130 mixes the first and second liquids in the oil storage chamber 111.
[0055] The mixing element 130 can mix the first and second liquids within the oil reservoir 111 by moving its position. (See also...) Figure 1 In some embodiments, the mixing element 130 can be a mixing block. Specifically, the mixing block can be spherical (e.g., Figure 1 (As shown), it can be polyhedral, olive-shaped, or irregularly shaped, etc. The force driving the mixing element 130 to move can be human. For example, a user can shake the electronic cigarette 100, and the mixing element 130 will be shaken to mix the liquid. The driving force can also be electricity. The mixing block can be made of metal.
[0056] Please see Figure 2 The mixing element 130 can also mix the first and second liquids within the oil reservoir 111 by changing its own shape. The mixing element 130 can be made of an elastic material, such as plastic or rubber. See also... Figure 2 The mixing element 130 can also be a spring. Thus, when the mixing element 130 is deformed by external force (manual or electric), the mixing element 130 resets itself through its own deformation, changing the constant flow direction of the liquid and accelerating the uniform mixing of the liquid.
[0057] Please see Figure 2 One end of the mixing element 130 can be connected to the wall of the oil storage chamber 111, and the other end can be a free end. Thus, one end of the mixing element 130 is limited, and the swing amplitude of the free end of the mixing element 130 can be greater, thereby improving the mixing effect of the mixture.
[0058] As mentioned earlier, the number of mixing elements 130 can be at least two. In some embodiments, the free end of a mixing element 130 can be connected to another mixing element 130. For example, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 The electronic cigarette 100 may include two mixing elements 130, one of which is a spring and the other is a steel ball. One end of the spring is connected to the wall of the oil reservoir 111, and the other end is connected to the steel ball. When the user moves or shakes the electronic cigarette 100, the spring and the steel ball swing and shake to mix the liquid.
[0059] The mixing element 130 can also mix the first and second liquids within the oil storage chamber 111 by rotating it in situ. (See also...) Figure 3 In one embodiment, the mixing element 130 may include a rotating shaft and fan blades. The fan blades can rotate about the axis of the rotating shaft to mix the mixture. Specifically, the number of fan blades can be one. Alternatively, there can be at least two fan blades, which can be arranged circumferentially along the rotating shaft. The rotation of the fan blades can be manual or electric, which will not be elaborated further. In other embodiments, the mixing element 130 may be a stir bar, which mixes the mixture by magnetic stirring.
[0060] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The electronic cigarette 100 may also include a sealing element 140, which can be used to seal the connection to the oil inlet 112. After the second liquid has basically flowed into the oil storage chamber 111, the sealing element 140 can seal the connection to the oil inlet 112 to prevent the mixture of the first liquid and the second liquid from splashing or flowing out from the oil inlet 112 when the mixing element 130 is mixing the first liquid and the second liquid.

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.
