[0025] A preferred embodiment of this utility model provides an easily assembled electronic cigarette, such as... Figure 2-3As shown, the device includes a protective shell 10 with openings 11 at both ends, and an electronic cigarette body 20. In one embodiment, the protective shell 10 is a cylindrical sleeve structure, and the cross-section of the protective shell 10 is an elliptical ring structure, so that the electronic cigarette body will not deviate from its preset path when moving along the inner wall of the protective shell. The outer contour of the electronic cigarette body is similar to the shape of the protective shell. The electronic cigarette body 20 includes a mounting bracket 21. One end of the mounting bracket 21 is connected to a mouthpiece body 22 through a first snap-fit assembly, and the other end is connected to a base 23 through a second snap-fit assembly. The mouthpiece body 22 and the base 23 are detachably connected to the mounting bracket 21 for easy maintenance. Furthermore, the protective shell 10 has a receiving cavity 12 for accommodating the base 23 and the mounting bracket 21. The receiving cavity is an elliptical cylindrical structure. The mouthpiece body 22 includes a first connecting portion 221 extending toward the mounting bracket 21 and a mouthpiece head 2 protruding in a direction away from the mounting bracket 21. 22, and a limiting part 223 that restricts the nozzle head 222 from entering the receiving cavity 12; the limiting part 223 is a plate-shaped structure, and the nozzle head 222 is disposed at the upper end of the limiting part 223; the first connecting part 221 is an annular fence structure, and the first connecting part 221 is located below the limiting part 223; a flexible power switch 24 protruding towards the inner wall of the protective shell 10 is provided on one side of the mounting bracket 21 or the base 23; it is worth noting that the flexible power switch is a switch structure in the prior art, including a power switch base, a spring, and a power switch snap-fit cover plate; the power switch base is fixedly connected to the circuit board in the mounting bracket or the base; the power switch snap-fit cover plate snaps into the through hole 13; one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the power switch base, and the other end abuts against the power switch snap-fit cover plate; the protective shell 10 is provided with a through hole 13 that communicates with the receiving cavity 12 and allows the flexible power switch 24 to pass through.
[0026] This electronic cigarette features a clever structural design and is easy to assemble. A first snap-fit assembly secures the mouthpiece to one end of the mounting bracket, while a second snap-fit assembly secures the base to the other end of the mounting bracket. This assembles the mouthpiece, mounting bracket, and base into a single unit – the electronic cigarette body. The electronic cigarette body is then inserted into the protective shell from the bottom. When the electronic cigarette body is in place, the lower surface of the limiting part on the mouthpiece abuts against the upper end face of the protective shell. This not only restricts the mouthpiece from entering the receiving cavity within the protective shell but also positions the electronic cigarette body. Simultaneously, a flexible power switch on the electronic cigarette body passes through a through-hole to limit its forward, backward, left, and right movement, thus achieving the goal of securing the electronic cigarette body within the protective shell. The operation is simple and the assembly efficiency is high.
[0027] Furthermore, one outer surface of the mounting bracket 21 is a plane 2101; the flexible power switch 24 is located on one side of the plane of the mounting bracket 21. The plane 2101 and one inner wall of the receiving cavity enclose a space through which the power switch latch cover of the flexible power switch passes.
[0028] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 21 includes a first connector 211 that mates with the mouthpiece body 22, a second connector 212 that mates with the base 23, and a mounting portion 213 that connects the first connector 211 and the second connector 212. In one embodiment, the mounting portion 213 has two parallel and independently arranged mounting channels, one of which houses the battery and microphone, and the other of which houses the atomizer and oil reservoir. In one embodiment, the first connector 211 is inserted into the first connecting portion 221; elastic hooks 2111 extending longitudinally toward the mounting bracket 21 are provided on opposite sides of the first connector 211; extension portions 2211 corresponding to the elastic hooks 2111 are provided on opposite sides of the first connecting portion 221; the extension portions 2211 have first slots 2212 that engage with the corresponding elastic hooks 2111; the elastic hooks 2111 and the corresponding first slots 2212 form a set of engaging units; the two sets of engaging units form a first snap-fit group. During installation, multiple extensions 2211 are aligned one-to-one with multiple elastic hooks 2111, and a force is applied to the nozzle body 22 towards the first connector 211. Under the action of the external force, the free ends of the two elastic hooks 2111 shift inward, thereby allowing the first connector 211 to enter the inner cavity of the first connecting part 221. After the two elastic hooks 2111 move into the corresponding first slots 2212, they automatically reset and engage with the first slots 2212, thus fixing the nozzle body 21 to the mounting bracket 22 and facilitating connection. Alternatively, the elastic hooks 2111 can also be set on the first connecting part 221, and the extensions 2211 and the first slots 2212 can be set on the first connector 211. Based on the above simple positional changes, they still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0029] Furthermore, the base 23 includes a base 231 and a second connecting portion 232 extending from the outer edge of the base 231 toward the mounting bracket 21; the second connector 212 is inserted into the second connecting portion 232. In one embodiment, the opposite sides of the second connector 212 are provided with elastic blocks 2121 that protrude laterally outward, and the opposite sides of the second connecting part 232 are provided with second slots 2321 that engage with the elastic blocks 2121. The elastic blocks 2321 and the corresponding second slots 2121 form a set of engaging units. The two sets of engaging units form a second snap-fit assembly. During installation, multiple elastic blocks 2121 are aligned with multiple second slots 2321 one by one, and a force is applied to the base 23 to move towards the second connector. Under the action of the external force, the two elastic blocks 2121 deform, thereby allowing the second connector 212 to enter the inner cavity of the second connecting part 232. After the two elastic blocks 2121 move into the corresponding second slots 2321, they automatically reset and engage with the second slots 2321, thus fixing the base 23 to the mounting bracket 22 and facilitating the connection. Alternatively, the elastic locking block 2121 can also be disposed on the second connecting part 232, and the second locking groove 2321 can be disposed on the second connecting head 212. Based on the above simple position replacement changes, it still falls within the protection scope of this utility model, and the installation and operation are simple.
[0030] Furthermore, the snap-fit unit and the snap-fit unit are misaligned, resulting in a stable and secure connection.
[0031] Furthermore, the base 231 is provided with a mounting groove 2311 for accommodating the circuit board 30 and the power socket 31; both the power socket 31 and the flexible power switch 24 are electrically connected to the circuit board 30; such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the base 231 is provided with a wiring port 2312 that is connected to the mounting groove 2311 and corresponds to the power socket 31, which facilitates charging of the electronic cigarette.
[0032] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
