Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic cigarette technology, and in particular to an electronic cigarette. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic cigarettes are electronic devices that can atomize stored e-liquid into smoke through electric heating. Currently, electronic cigarettes on the market typically include a shell, an atomizing module, a control module, and a battery. The shell has a tubular structure and an internal cavity, where the atomizing module, control module, and battery are installed.
[0003] The atomization module includes a liquid reservoir and an atomizer core. The liquid reservoir typically holds e-liquid, which is conducted to the atomizer core via capillary action. During vaping, the battery powers the atomizer core, causing it to heat up. This heat atomizes the e-liquid into vapor for the user to inhale. Some users prefer a gentle mouth-to-vape inhalation, while others prefer a deep lung-to-vape inhalation. However, current e-cigarette airflow designs are limited and cannot simultaneously satisfy both user preferences. Utility Model Content

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-9One embodiment of this application provides an electronic cigarette, which includes a mouthpiece 1, a housing 2, a mounting bracket 3, an atomizing module 4, a light guide 5, a display module 6, a light-shielding cover 7, and a light-transmitting cover 8. The mouthpiece 1 is connected to the housing 2 and extends into the first end of the atomizing module 4, allowing the user to inhale vapor through the mouthpiece 1. A condensate-absorbing cotton 90 is inserted into the end of the mouthpiece 1 connected to the atomizing module 4. The condensate-absorbing cotton 90 is used to absorb condensed e-liquid, thereby reducing the probability of the user inhaling condensed e-liquid.
[0031] The outer casing 2 consists of a top wall, side walls, and a bottom wall, and is a one-piece molded structure. Therefore, it is not only structurally reliable but also reduces production steps and improves production efficiency. The outer casing 2 is provided with a first air inlet 21, a receiving cavity 22, an insertion interface 23 located on the side wall of the outer casing 2, and a second air inlet 24. The first air inlet 21 is located on the bottom wall of the outer casing 2. When the user inhales the vapor, external gas flows through the first air inlet 21 into the atomizing module 4 to carry out the vapor within the atomizing module 4. The receiving cavity 22 extends longitudinally along the outer casing 2. The insertion interface 23 is located on the side wall of the receiving cavity 22 and communicates with the receiving cavity 22. The second air inlet 24 is located on the bottom wall of the outer casing 2.
[0032] The fixing bracket 3 is inserted into the receiving cavity 22 and extends from the insertion interface 23. A clearance notch 31 is provided on one side of the fixing bracket 3 within the receiving cavity 22. The clearance notch 31 extends longitudinally along the fixing bracket 3 and reaches the first end face of the fixing bracket 3. The first end and the second end of the fixing bracket 3 are positioned opposite each other. The fixing bracket 3 also has a fastening groove 32 located on one side of the clearance notch 31.
[0033] The atomizing module 4 is located within the receiving cavity 22 and positioned at the clearance notch 31. The first end of the atomizing module 4 is inserted into the nozzle 1, and the second end of the atomizing module 4 abuts against the mounting bracket 3, ensuring a secure and reliable connection. The first and second ends of the atomizing module 4 are positioned opposite each other. It is understood that the atomizing module 4 and the mounting bracket 3 can be directly or indirectly connected; no specific limitation is made here, as long as it can be reliably fixed to the mounting bracket 3. By providing the clearance notch 31 for installing the atomizing module 4, during assembly, the atomizing module 4 is first installed into the clearance notch 31 of the mounting bracket 3, and then the atomizing module 4, along with the mounting bracket 3, is inserted into the receiving cavity 22 through the insertion port 23. This not only facilitates assembly but also ensures proper placement.
[0034] The atomizing module 4 includes a liquid storage tube 41, a first elastic sealing seat 42, a second elastic sealing seat 43, a porous suction column 44, and an atomizing core 45. The liquid storage tube 41 is located at the clearance notch 31 and is used to store e-liquid. The first elastic sealing seat 42 covers the first end of the liquid storage tube 41 and elastically abuts against the outer shell 2. One end of the mouthpiece 1 extends into the first elastic sealing seat 42. The second elastic sealing seat 43 covers the second end of the liquid storage tube 41 and elastically abuts against the fixing frame 3 to seal the liquid storage tube 41. The first elastic sealing seat 42 and the second elastic sealing seat 43 can be made of elastic materials such as silicone or rubber. The porous suction column 44 is located inside the liquid storage tube 41 and is used to absorb e-liquid; it can be made of materials such as fiber or porous ceramic.
[0035] The atomizing core 45 is located within the porous liquid-absorbing column 44 and is used to atomize e-liquid. It includes a porous liquid-guiding component 451 and a heating element 452. The porous liquid-guiding component 451 is located within and in contact with the porous liquid-absorbing column 44 to conduct the e-liquid at the porous liquid-absorbing column 44 to the heating element 452. The heating element 452 atomizes the e-liquid to form vapor. When the user inhales, the e-liquid is atomized at the heating element 452 and flows to the mouthpiece 1, then flows out from the mouthpiece 1. In this embodiment, the atomizing module 4 has a columnar structure, with the first end and the second end of the atomizing module 4 positioned opposite each other. It is understood that as long as the e-liquid can be atomized, the structure of the atomizing module 4 is not specifically limited here.
[0036] The light guide 5 is located inside the light-transmitting cover 8 and is connected to one end of the fixing frame 3 extending to the insertion interface 23. Specifically, the light guide 5 is provided with a first snap-fit arm 51, a receiving groove 52, a clearance hole 53, and a light-emitting surface 54 surrounding the light guide 5. The first snap-fit arm 51 is snapped into the snap-fit groove 32, thus facilitating assembly. The receiving groove 52 is located on the side of the light guide 5 facing the fixing frame 3, and the clearance hole 53 communicates with the receiving groove 52. The light-emitting surface 54 is located at the outer peripheral edge of the light guide 5 and is roughly rectangular in shape. After the light is emitted from the light-emitting surface 54 and the light-transmitting cover 8, it forms a light-emitting ring surrounding the top, bottom, and side walls of the electronic cigarette, thus making it easy for users to identify and attract their attention.
[0037] The display module 6 includes a second circuit board 61, a display screen 62, and several light sources 63 for emitting light towards the light guide 5. The second circuit board 61 is located within the receiving groove 52, thus ensuring reliable fixation and preventing it from easily falling off due to vibration or other reasons. The display screen 62 is positioned corresponding to the clearance hole 53 and connected to the second circuit board 61. The display screen 62 extends from the clearance hole 53, thus enabling precise positioning. The display surface of the display screen 62 faces a first direction to display information. In this embodiment, the first direction refers to the direction in which the display surface of the display screen 62 faces away from the display surface of the atomizing module 4. Several light sources 63 are located within the receiving groove 52 and fixed to the second circuit board 61. The light sources 63 are arranged around the display screen 62, with the light sources 63 spaced apart from each other, thus ensuring more uniform light emission from the light guide 5. The groove wall of the receiving groove 52 covers the light sources 63, thus allowing light to penetrate into the light guide 5 as much as possible. Preferably, the first light source 63 is an LED lamp bead.
[0038] A light-shielding cover 7 covers the light guide 5 to block the light from the light source 63 from escaping in the first direction, thus preventing eye strain when the user views the display screen 62. A light-transmitting cover 8 is mounted on the end of the mounting bracket 3 that extends beyond the insertion interface 23. The light-shielding cover 7 is provided with a second fastening arm 71, which passes through the clearance hole 53 and is fastened to the groove wall of the receiving groove 52. Therefore, the overall structure is compact and easy to assemble. In addition, the light-transmitting cover 8 is also connected to the outer shell 2. The mounting bracket 3, the light guide 5, and the light-shielding cover 7 are all located within the space formed by the outer shell 2 and the light-transmitting cover 8. Therefore, the exterior of the electronic cigarette is simpler and less prone to dust accumulation.
[0039] In addition, the electronic cigarette of this embodiment also includes a light-blocking sheet 91, a battery 92, a connector 93, a control module 94, an airflow sensor 95, a liquid-absorbing sheet 96, an air regulating block 97, a first sealing ring 98, a second sealing ring 99, and a sealing block 991. The light-blocking sheet 91 is connected to the light-shielding cover 7 and covers the clearance hole 53. The display surface of the display screen 62 is positioned facing the light-blocking sheet 91. By blocking the light emitted from the display screen 62 by the light-blocking sheet 91, the light intensity of the display screen 62 can be reduced, resulting in softer light and a better user experience. The light transmittance of the light-blocking sheet 91 is greater than that of the light-shielding cover 7, and the light transmittance of the light-blocking sheet 91 is less than that of the light-transmitting cover 8. Preferably, the light-blocking sheet 91 is made of a translucent material, and the light-transmitting cover 8 is made of a transparent material. The light emitted from the light-emitting surface 54 is emitted through the light-transmitting cover 8. Battery 92 is mounted on the mounting bracket 3 and located between the atomizing module 4 and the second circuit board 61, thus avoiding the impact of leaked e-liquid and improving its service life. Battery 92 is electrically connected to the control module 94.
[0040] The connecting seat 93 is located within the receiving cavity 22 and connected to the second end of the atomizing module 4 and the fixing frame 3. It includes a support plate portion 931, a connecting ring portion 932, and an air guide ring portion 933. The support plate portion 931 is provided with a support surface 9311 and a third air guide hole 9312. The support surface 9311 extends laterally along the atomizing module 4 and abuts against the end face of the second end of the atomizing module 4, that is, the support surface 9311 abuts against the end face of the second elastic sealing seat 43 of the atomizing module 4. In other words, the second elastic sealing seat 43 covers the second end of the liquid storage tube 41 and elastically abuts against the support plate portion 931. The connecting ring portion 932 is connected to the support surface 9311 and extends into the second elastic sealing seat 43 of the atomizing module 4. The air guide ring 933 is located on the side of the support plate 931 facing away from the atomizing module 4. A second air guide hole 9331 is formed in the air guide ring 933. The second air guide hole 9331 is connected to the outside of the outer shell 2. The third air guide hole 9312 is connected to the second air guide hole 9331 and the atomizing module 4.
[0041] The control module 94 includes a first circuit board 941 and a control chip 942. The first circuit board 941 is located on the side of the connector 93 facing away from the atomizing module 4. The air guide ring 933 is disposed through the first circuit board 941, thereby reducing the probability of e-liquid leakage from the atomizing module 4 to the control module 94. An electrical connection pin 9411 is mounted on the first circuit board 941. The electrical connection pin 9411 passes through the support plate 931 and is electrically connected to the heating element 452 of the atomizing module 4 to control the operation of the heating element 452. The control chip 942 is located on the side of the first circuit board 941 facing away from the connector 93 and is electrically connected to the battery 92 and the atomizing core 45. An airflow sensor 95 is mounted on the first circuit board 941 and is electrically connected to the control chip 942. When the user inhales vapor, the airflow sensor 95 is triggered and sends a trigger signal to the control chip 942. The control chip 942 controls the battery 92 to supply power to the atomizing core 45, thereby atomizing the e-liquid to form vapor.
[0042] The absorbent pad 96 is located within the connecting ring 932 and is used to absorb e-liquid leaking from the atomizing module 4. The absorbent pad 96 can be made of cotton or other materials capable of absorbing e-liquid. The airflow regulating block 97 is movably disposed within the receiving cavity 22 of the outer shell 2, and an airflow guiding gap 970 is formed between the airflow regulating block 97 and the outer shell 2. The airflow regulating block 97 is provided with a mouth-inhalation airflow regulating hole 971. The cross-sectional area of the first air inlet 21 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the mouth-inhalation airflow regulating hole 971, which is used to guide the airflow from the first air inlet 21 into the second airflow guiding hole 9331. The airflow regulating block 97 is connected to a push-pull member 972, which is connected to the airflow regulating block 97 and passes through the second air inlet 24. The first sealing ring 98 is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the airflow guiding ring 933 and elastically abuts against the airflow regulating block 97, thus better preventing air leakage and providing sensitivity for inhalation. The first sealing ring 98 is provided with a first air guide hole 981. The first air guide hole 981 and the second air guide hole 9331 are coaxially arranged. The second air guide hole is connected to the first air guide hole. The first air guide hole 981 is connected to the atomizing module 94 through the second air guide hole 9331 and the third air guide hole.
[0043] The second sealing ring 99 is fitted onto the airflow sensor 95 and connected to the first sealing ring 98. The second sealing ring 99 extends into the support plate portion 931, thus not only effectively sealing the airflow sensor 95, but also allowing the first sealing ring 98 and the second sealing ring 99 to be assembled simultaneously, improving production efficiency. The first sealing ring 98 and the second sealing ring 99 can be made of elastic materials such as silicone or rubber. The sealing block 991 is fitted onto the electrical connection pin 9411 and extends into the support plate portion 931, thus preventing e-liquid from flowing down the electrical connection pin 9411. The first sealing ring 98, the second sealing ring 99, and the sealing block 991 are integrally molded, facilitating assembly and improving production efficiency.
[0044] The electronic cigarette of this application includes a first state and a second state. In the first state, the mouth-to-air adjustment port 971 corresponds to the position of the first air guide port 981. The orthographic projection of the mouth-to-air adjustment port 971 onto the end face of the first air guide port 981 facing the air regulating block 97 is located within the first air guide port 981. The first air inlet 21 is connected to the first air guide port 981 through the mouth-to-air adjustment port 971. At this time, the user can inhale the electronic cigarette by mouth-to-air. If the user needs to inhale the electronic cigarette by lung-to-lung inhalation, the push-pull member 972 pushes the air regulating block 97 to move laterally by a preset distance in the electronic cigarette, causing the electronic cigarette to enter the second state.
[0045] In the second state, a lung inhalation regulating port 992 is formed between the air regulating block 97 and the fixing frame 3. The first air inlet 981 communicates with the lung inhalation regulating port 992. The cross-sectional area of the lung inhalation regulating port 992 is larger than that of the oral inhalation regulating port 971. The first end of the air guiding gap 970 communicates with the second air inlet 24, and the other two ends of the air guiding gap 970 communicate with the lung inhalation regulating port 992. The second air inlet 24 communicates with the lung inhalation regulating port 992. In other words, the second air inlet 24 communicates with the first air guiding port 981 through the air guiding gap 970 and the lung inhalation regulating port 992, thus enabling lung inhalation. Because the lung inhalation regulating port 992 is formed between the air regulating block 97 and the fixing frame 3, the lung inhalation regulating port 992 has a large adjustment range, which can freely adapt to the needs of different lung capacities, resulting in a good user experience. Furthermore, since both the first air inlet 981 and the second air inlet 24 are connected to the lung inhalation regulating port 992 in the second state, the air intake is large enough to meet the user's requirements.
[0046] Since several light sources 63 are arranged around the display screen 62 and emit light towards the light guide 5, the light is emitted from the light-emitting surface 54 surrounding the light guide 5. Therefore, regardless of how the user holds the casing 2, the area where the display screen 62 is located can be clearly indicated, allowing the user to understand relevant information about the electronic cigarette. Furthermore, since the light shield 7 covers the light guide 5, it prevents the light from the light sources 63 from emitting in the first direction. Therefore, it avoids glare when viewing the information on the display screen 62, better protecting the user's eyes.
[0047] Because the outer casing 2 has a receiving cavity 22 and an insertion interface 23 located on the side wall of the outer casing 2, and the mounting bracket 3 has a clearance notch 31 on one side, the clearance notch 31 extends longitudinally along the mounting bracket 3 and extends to the first end face of the mounting bracket 3, during assembly, the atomizing module 4 is first installed on the mounting bracket 3, and then the mounting bracket 3 is inserted into the receiving cavity 22 through the insertion interface 23, thus facilitating assembly. Secondly, since the display module 4 is located outside the outer casing 2 and connected to the mounting bracket 3, and the battery 92 is installed at the mounting bracket 3 and located between the atomizing module 4 and the display module 6, leakage of e-liquid during use is prevented from flowing into the battery 92 and the display module 6, thus improving service life; finally, because the outer casing 2 is a one-piece molded structure, it is structurally reliable and has a long service life.
[0048] In summary, the electronic cigarette of this application includes a first state and a second state. In the first state, the mouth-to-inhale air regulating port 971 corresponds to the position of the first air guide port 981. The orthographic projection of the mouth-to-inhale air regulating port 971 onto the end face of the first air guide port 981 facing the air regulating block 97 is located within the first air guide port 981. The first air inlet port 21 is connected to the first air guide port 981 through the mouth-to-inhale air regulating port 971. At this time, the user can inhale the electronic cigarette by mouth-to-inhale. If the user needs to inhale the electronic cigarette by lung-to-inhale, the air regulating block 97 is pushed to move a preset distance, causing the electronic cigarette to enter the second state. In the second state, a lung-to-inhale air regulating port 992 is formed between the air regulating block 97 and the fixing frame 3. The first air inlet port 21 is connected to the first air guide port 981 through the lung-to-inhale air regulating port 992, thereby enabling lung-to-inhale. This application has the advantage of being able to switch between mouth-to-inhale and lung-to-inhale at will, making it convenient for users.
[0049] It should be noted that other aspects of the electronic cigarette disclosed in this application can be found in the prior art, and will not be repeated here.
[0050] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the scope of the patent application. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this application under the inventive concept of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
