It should be noted that, provided there is no conflict, the various embodiments and features within them can be combined with each other, and all resulting technical solutions are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] It should be noted that the specification of this application contains a large number of technical features distributed across various technical solutions. Listing all possible combinations of technical features (i.e., technical solutions) would make the specification excessively lengthy. To avoid this problem, the various technical features disclosed in the above-described utility model content, the various technical features disclosed in the following embodiments and examples, and the various technical features disclosed in the accompanying drawings can be freely combined to form various new technical solutions (all of which are considered to have been described in this specification), unless such a combination of technical features is technically infeasible.

Features C and D are equivalent technical means that serve the same function, and technically only one needs to be used; they cannot be used simultaneously. Feature E can technically be combined with feature C. Therefore, the solution A+B+C+D should not be considered as described because it is technically infeasible, while the solution A+B+C+E should be considered as described.
[0024] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides an electronic cigarette that is easy to assemble and disassemble, including a power supply body 9 and a shell 8 wrapped around the power supply body 9, and an atomizer 1 inserted into the shell 8 and detachably electrically connected to the power supply body 9. The power supply body 9 is provided with a sliding detachable connection structure, which has a groove 401, a pin 7 provided in the groove 401, and a slider 701 connected to the pin 7 and exposed outside the power supply body 9. The inner wall of the shell 8 has a slot 801 corresponding to the pin 7. The slider 701 slides back and forth outside the power supply body 9 to control the insertion and removal of the pin 7 in the slot 801, thereby controlling the connection and separation of the power supply body 9 and the shell 8. It should be noted that by designing a sliding detachable connection structure to control the connection and separation of the power supply body 9 and the shell 8, compared with existing electronic cigarettes that use locking and screw removal to connect and separate the power supply body 9 and the shell 8, not only is the assembly during the production process convenient, but it is also convenient to disassemble and replace the power supply body 9 after a failure, and it can also save the cost of screws and the labor cost of disassembly and assembly.
[0025] In some embodiments, the sliding detachable connection structure also has a sliding hole 402 corresponding to and communicating with the sliding groove 401. The slider 701 extends out of the sliding hole 402 and is exposed outside the power supply body 9. The slider 701 slides back and forth outside the power supply body 9 along the outer contour of the sliding hole 402, which can control the insertion and removal of the pin 7 in the slot 801. The sliding hole 402 is used to expose the slider 701 from the sliding groove 401, which facilitates its sliding outside the power supply body 9. Both the slider 701 and the pin 7 are made of plastic, which is inexpensive. The slider 701 and the pin 7 are integrally molded by in-mold injection molding and do not need to be assembled together.
[0026] In some embodiments, the sliding hole 402 is strip-shaped or elliptical; the outer wall of the slider 701 is provided with a plurality of protrusions for increasing friction. It should be noted that only a strip-shaped or elliptical sliding hole 402 can allow the slider 701 to drive the pin 7 to slide back and forth. In this embodiment, the slider 701 is preferably strip-shaped, which allows for smooth sliding and a long sliding distance. The protrusions are used to increase the roughness of the contact surface between the slider 701 and the finger, thereby increasing friction and preventing slippage during sliding.
[0027] In some embodiments, a limiting groove 403 is formed on the groove wall of the slide 401, and a spring arm 703 corresponding to the limiting groove 403 is provided on the outer wall of the pin 7, and the spring arm 703 extends into the limiting groove 403 and abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove 403. The limiting groove 403 and the spring arm 703 are used to limit the sliding distance of the pin 7 in the slide 401 to prevent the pin 7 from being over-inserted into the slot 801. The spring arm 703 abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove 403 to make the pin 7 slide more stably in the slide 401 by utilizing the elasticity of the spring arm 703 and the squeezing force of the groove wall of the limiting groove 403, and to prevent it from falling out of the slide 401.
[0028] In some embodiments, the power supply body 9 is provided with a conductive structure 901, and the atomizer 1 is provided with a power connection structure 111 corresponding to the conductive structure 901. The atomizer 1 is inserted into the housing 8 and electrically connected to the power supply body 9 through the conductive structure 901 and the power connection structure 111. The conductive structure 901 is used to conductively connect the atomizer 1, and the power connection structure 111 is used to provide power to the atomizer 1 to enable it to atomize e-liquid.
[0029] In some embodiments, the power supply body 9 includes a bracket 4, a housing 8 enclosing the outer wall of the bracket 4, and the bottom wall of the bracket 4 exposed outside the housing 8. A sliding groove 401 is formed in the inner wall of the bracket 4, and a sliding hole 402 extending into the sliding groove 401 is formed in the bottom wall of the bracket 4. A slider 701 extends out from the sliding hole 402 and is exposed in the bottom wall of the bracket 4. It should be noted that the slider 701 slides along the trajectory of the sliding hole 402 on the bottom wall of the bracket 4, which can drive the pin 7 to slide back and forth in the sliding groove 401, thereby allowing the pin 7 to be inserted into the slot 801 and to be pulled out of the slot 801.
[0030] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the bracket 4 has a through hole 404 corresponding to the slide groove 401 and the pin 7. The slot 801 corresponds to the through hole 404 and is located on the same horizontal plane. The through hole 404 allows the pin 7 to extend out of the bracket 4 from the slide groove 401 and then be accurately inserted into the slot 801 when sliding back and forth in the slide groove 401. At the same time, it also allows the pin 7 to be pulled out of the slot 801 and retracted into the slide groove 401.
[0031] In some embodiments, the power supply body 9 further includes a battery cell 6 and a control board 5. The battery cell 6 and the control board 5 are disposed in the bracket 4, and the battery cell 6 is electrically connected to the control board 5. The top wall of the bracket 4 is provided with a first conductive post 2 and a second conductive post 3 as a conductive structure 901. The control board 5 is electrically connected to the first conductive post 2 and the second conductive post 3. The bottom wall of the atomizer 1 is provided with a first contact body 102 that abuts against the first conductive post 2 and a second contact body 103 that abuts against the second conductive post 3. The first contact body 102 and the second contact body 103 constitute a contact structure 111. The atomizer 1 is electrically connected to the power supply body 9 by abutting the first contact body 102 through the first conductive post 2 and abutting the second contact body 103 through the second conductive post 3 within the housing 8. Among them, the battery cell 6 is used to supply power to the control board 5 so that it can start the electronic control function. The control board 5 supplies power to the atomizer 1 through the first conductive post 2 abutting against the first electrical contact 102 and the second conductive post 3 abutting against the second electrical contact 103, so that the atomizer 1 is powered on and works. The first conductive post 2 and the first electrical contact 102, as well as the second conductive post 3 and the second electrical contact 103 are all made of conductive copper, which has good conductivity, high hardness, corrosion resistance and is relatively durable.
[0032] In some embodiments, the top wall of the support 4 is further provided with two magnets 405, and the bottom wall of the atomizer 1 is further provided with two iron blocks 104 corresponding to each magnet 405. The atomizer 1 is detachably connected to the power supply body 9 by being attracted to the iron blocks 104 by the magnets 405. The attraction between the magnets 405 and the iron blocks 104 makes it easier to connect and assemble the atomizer 1 with the power supply body 9.
[0033] In some embodiments, an oil storage chamber 106 is formed inside the atomizer 1, and an atomizing tube 107 is provided inside the oil storage chamber 106. The atomizing tube 107 has an atomizing channel 108 and a heating element 109 disposed inside the atomizing channel 108. The heating element 109 is electrically connected to a first electrical contact 102 and a second electrical contact 103. An oil inlet hole 110 corresponding to the heating element 109 is opened on the outer wall of the atomizing tube 107. A smoke outlet channel 101 communicating with the atomizing channel 108 is opened at the top of the atomizer 1. An air inlet channel 105 communicating with the atomizing channel 108 is opened on the bottom wall of the atomizer 1. It should be noted that the e-liquid in the oil storage chamber 106 can enter the heating core 109 through the oil inlet 110. The power board supplies power to the heating core 109 through the first conductive post 2 and the first electrical contact 102, as well as the second conductive post 3 and the second electrical contact 103, so that it heats up and then heats the e-liquid to produce smoke. When smoking, the airflow can enter the mist channel 108 from the air intake channel 105, and then drive the smoke generated by the heating core 109 heating the e-liquid to be discharged from the smoke outlet channel 101 for the user to inhale.
[0034] The following detailed description uses preferred embodiments.
[0035] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the electronic cigarette of this utility model includes: an atomizer 1, a power supply body 9, and a housing 8. The power supply body 9 includes: a first conductive post 2, a second conductive post 3, a bracket 4, a control board 5, a battery cell 6, and a pin 7. The bracket 4 has a groove 401 on its inner wall to accommodate the pin 7. The pin 7 is installed in the groove 401. A slider 701 is provided at the bottom end of the pin 7 to drive the pin 7 to slide. The bottom wall of the bracket 4 has a sliding hole 402 that extends into the groove 401. The slider 701 slides through the sliding hole 402. 02 extends out of the bottom wall of the bracket 4. Multiple protrusions are provided on the slider 701 to increase friction. The slider 701 slides back and forth along the trajectory of the sliding hole 402 on the bottom wall of the bracket 4, which can drive the pin 7 to slide back and forth within the sliding groove 401. A through hole 404 corresponding to the sliding groove 401 and the pin 7 is provided on the outer wall of the bracket 4 to allow the pin 7 to extend out of the bracket 4 and simultaneously retract into the sliding groove 401. A limiting groove 403 is provided on the groove wall of the sliding groove 401, and the outer wall of the pin 7 is provided with a limiting groove 403. The corresponding elastic arm 703 extends into the limiting groove 403 and abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove 403. The limiting groove 403 and the elastic arm 703 are used to limit the sliding distance of the pin 7 in the slide groove 401, preventing the pin 7 from being over-inserted into the slot 801. The elastic arm 703 abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove 403 to make the pin 7 more stable when sliding in the slide groove 401 by utilizing the elastic force of the elastic arm 703 and the squeezing force of the groove wall of the limiting groove 403, and to prevent it from falling out of the slide groove 401. The battery cell 6 and the control board 5 are installed and fixed inside the bracket 4. The battery cell 6 is electrically connected to the control board 5 to supply power to the control board 5 so that it can start the electronic control function. The first conductive post 2 and the second conductive post 3 are installed on the top wall of the bracket 4 to electrically connect the atomizer 1. The control board 5 is electrically connected to the first conductive post 2 and the second conductive post 3 to supply power to the atomizer 1. The top wall of the bracket 4 is also provided with two magnets 405 to connect the atomizer 1 by magnetic attraction. All components are combined together to form the power supply body 9.
[0036] The housing 8 is fitted onto the outer wall of the bracket 4, with the bottom wall of the bracket 4 exposed outside the housing 8. The inner wall of the housing has a slot 801 that corresponds to and communicates with the through hole 404. The slot 801 also corresponds to the pin 7 and the slide groove 401 through the through hole 404. The slider 701 slides forward along the track of the slide hole 402 on the bottom wall of the bracket 4, allowing the pin 7 to slide forward in the slide groove 401. This allows one end of the pin 7 to extend out of the through hole 404 and insert into the slot 801, thus fixing the bracket 4 in place within the housing 8. The slider 701 slides backward along the track of the slide hole 402 on the bottom wall of the bracket 4, allowing the pin 7 to slide backward in the slide groove 401. This allows one end of the pin 7 to be pulled out of the slot 801 and extend into the slide groove 401 through the through hole 404. Then, the bracket 4 can be removed from the housing 8, freed from the pin 7 and the slot 801, and the battery cell 6 or control board 5 can be replaced.
[0037] The atomizer 1 is inserted into the main body shell at its lower end. The bottom wall of the atomizer 1 is provided with a first electrical contact 102 that abuts against the first conductive post 2 and a second electrical contact 103 that abuts against the second conductive post 3. An oil storage chamber 106 is formed inside the atomizer 1 for storing e-liquid. An atomizing tube 107 is provided inside the oil storage chamber 106 to isolate the e-liquid in the oil storage chamber 106. An atomizing channel 108 is formed inside the atomizing tube 107 for airflow and smoke exhaust. A heating element 109 is provided inside the atomizing channel 108 for heating the e-liquid in the oil storage chamber 106. An oil inlet hole 110 corresponding to the heating element 109 is opened on the outer wall of the atomizing tube 107 to guide the e-liquid in the oil storage chamber 106 into the heating element 109. The heating element 109 is electrically connected to the first electrical contact 102 and the second electrical contact 103. The top of the atomizer 1 has a smoke outlet channel 101 that communicates with the mist channel 108 for discharging smoke. The bottom wall of the atomizer 1 has an air inlet channel 105 that communicates with the mist channel 108 for air intake. The power board supplies power to the heating element 109 through the first conductive post 2 and the first electrical contact 102, as well as the second conductive post 3 and the second electrical contact 103, to make it heat up. Then, the e-liquid is heated to produce smoke. When smoking, the airflow can enter the mist channel 108 from the air inlet channel 105, and then drive the heating element 109 to heat the smoke produced by the e-liquid and discharge it from the smoke outlet channel 101 for the user to inhale.
