Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic atomization device technology, and more particularly to an atomizer with oil-locking function and an electronic cigarette. Background Technology
[0002] An electronic cigarette is an electronic atomizing device that simulates the experience of traditional smoking. Its core working principle is to heat e-liquid, atomizing it to form vapor that can be inhaled. To prevent e-liquid leakage due to shaking or squeezing during transportation or carrying, electronic cigarettes are usually equipped with an e-liquid locking mechanism.
[0003] Taking an atomizer disclosed in Chinese invention application CN117016868A as an example, it includes an oil cup and a mouthpiece disposed on the oil cup, and also includes a leak-proof sleeve installed inside the oil cup and fitted at the bottom of the mouthpiece. An oil sealing seat is installed at the bottom of the leak-proof sleeve, and an oil storage chamber is formed between the inside of the oil cup and the oil sealing seat. An atomizing component is slidably connected inside the leak-proof sleeve, and a base is installed at the bottom of the atomizing component. A condensate return chamber communicating with the bottom of the atomizing component is opened inside the base. An atomizing chamber is formed between the oil sealing seat and the base. An oil filling hole is opened on the oil sealing seat, and a sealing member inserted into the oil filling hole is provided on the base. The base has an initial position and a working position that move in the longitudinal direction relative to the oil cup. When the base is in the initial position, the sealing member blocks the oil filling hole. When the base is in the working position, the sealing member opens the oil filling hole.
[0004] Although the aforementioned atomizer provides leak protection before use, the base is locked in the initial position by a snap-fit structure. This snap-fit structure is prone to accidental disengagement due to squeezing, resulting in unstable locking reliability. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides an atomizer and electronic cigarette with an oil-locking function to solve the problem of unstable locking reliability caused by the snap-fit structure being prone to accidental disengagement due to squeezing in related technologies. The technical solution is as follows:
[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an atomizer with an oil-locking function, comprising:
[0007] A housing having an oil storage chamber for storing e-liquid;

[0010] The initial position is such that the oil storage chamber and the atomizing channel are isolated by the blocking component to prevent e-liquid from entering the atomizing channel;
[0011] The working position is such that the oil passage connects the oil storage chamber and the atomization channel, allowing e-liquid to enter the atomization channel; and

[0022] In one embodiment, there are multiple first limiting protrusions, and the multiple first limiting protrusions are arranged sequentially along the sliding direction of the barrier.
[0023] Of the plurality of first limiting protrusions, at least two first limiting protrusions are respectively placed on both sides of the outlet of the oil passage along the sliding direction of the barrier.
[0024] In one embodiment, the slide connects the oil storage chamber and the inlet of the oil passage;

[0027] When the barrier is in the working position, the inlet of the oil inlet channel is connected to the outlet of the oil passage.
[0028] In one embodiment, the housing includes:
[0029] An oil tank has an oil storage chamber and a first receiving chamber, at least a portion of the atomizing component is located in the oil storage chamber, the first receiving chamber is located at an end of the oil tank, and the first receiving chamber communicates with the oil storage chamber;

[0031] A connector is provided, one end of which is inserted into the first receiving cavity and the other end of which is inserted into the second receiving cavity. The connector connects the oil tank to the bottom cover. The connector has a connecting hole that extends through the connector from both the top and bottom. The connecting hole is for the end of the atomizing component to be inserted.
[0032] The sealing component includes:
[0033] The first sealing seat is inserted into the oil tank and separates the oil storage chamber and the first receiving chamber. The first sealing seat is sleeved on the upper end of the connecting seat. The first sealing seat has a first sealing part and a first slide section.

[0037] The advantages or beneficial effects of the above technical solutions include at least the following:
[0038] The atomizer of this invention uses a limiting component that slides through a limiting hole perpendicular to the sliding direction of the blocking component, forming a 90-degree mechanical hard limiting structure. Since the force generated by vibration or compression in actual application mainly acts along the sliding direction of the blocking component, and the locking direction of the limiting component is perpendicular to it, the force generated by vibration or compression cannot directly act on the limiting component, thus ensuring that it will not be accidentally unlocked. This significantly improves locking reliability and allows the blocking component to stably maintain its initial position, effectively enhancing the oil leakage prevention performance before use. Secondly, this mechanical hard limiting design rigidly blocks the sliding of the blocking component, ensuring that it is always restricted to its initial position, avoiding accidental displacement, further improving locking reliability and oil leakage prevention effect. Furthermore, in the event of an accidental drop or other sudden situation, since the limiting component is not affected by the force in the sliding direction, it can still maintain a reliable locked state, ensuring the sealing safety of the atomizer during transportation and use.

In addition to the illustrative aspects, embodiments, and features described above, further aspects, embodiments, and features of this application will become readily apparent from the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description.

[0049] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.
[0050] See Figures 1-6 This invention illustrates a preferred embodiment of an electronic cigarette, which utilizes an atomizer with an oil-locking function. The atomizer includes:
[0051] The housing 1 is provided with a mouthpiece and an oil storage chamber 111, which is used to store e-liquid.
[0052] Atomizing component 2 is disposed on housing 1, and at least part of atomizing component 2 is located in oil storage chamber 111 to improve the space utilization of oil storage chamber 111 and avoid atomizing component 2 occupying too much space in housing 1, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of atomizer. Atomizing component 2 has atomizing channel 21, which is connected to mouthpiece. Atomizing component 2 is used to heat and atomize e-liquid entering atomizing channel 21.
[0053] The blocking component 3 is slidably disposed on the housing 1. The blocking component 3 has an oil passage 311 and a limiting hole 321. The limiting hole 321 extends along a sliding direction perpendicular to the blocking component 3. The blocking component 3 has an initial position and a working position.
[0054] The initial position is that the oil storage chamber 111 and the atomization channel 21 are isolated by the blocking component 3, that is, the connection between the oil storage chamber 111 and the atomization channel 21 is blocked, so as to prevent the e-liquid from entering the atomization channel 21, blocking the flow of e-liquid, preventing oil leakage during transportation or storage, and thus playing the role of preventing oil leakage before use.
[0055] The working position is such that the oil passage 311 connects the oil storage chamber 111 and the atomization channel 21. That is, by using the sliding blocking component 3, the oil passage 311 is aligned with the oil storage chamber 111 and the atomization channel 21, allowing e-liquid to enter the atomization channel 21 and thus supplying e-liquid to the atomization assembly 2; and
[0056] The limiting component 4 is located outside the housing 1 and is detachably inserted through the limiting hole 321 to restrict the blocking component 3 to the initial position.
[0057] The atomizer of this utility model has a 90-degree mechanical hard limiting structure formed by the limiting component 4 passing through the limiting hole 321 in a sliding direction perpendicular to the blocking component 3. In actual application, the force generated by vibration or compression mainly acts along the sliding direction of the blocking component 3, while the locking direction of the limiting component 4 is perpendicular to it. This prevents the force generated by vibration or compression from directly acting on the limiting component 4, thus ensuring that it will not be accidentally unlocked, significantly improving the locking reliability. This allows the blocking component 3 to stably maintain its initial position, effectively enhancing the oil leakage prevention performance before use. Secondly, this mechanical hard limiting design ensures that the blocking component 3 is always restricted to its initial position by rigidly blocking the sliding, avoiding accidental displacement, further improving the locking reliability and oil leakage prevention effect. In addition, in the event of an accidental drop or other sudden situation, since the limiting component 4 is not affected by the sliding force, it can still maintain a reliable locked state, ensuring the sealing safety of the atomizer during transportation and use.
[0058] See Figures 2-3 In one embodiment, the limiting member 4 is provided with a limiting part 41, a plug-in part 42, and an elastic part 43. The plug-in part 42 cooperates with the limiting hole 321. The limiting part 41 and the elastic part 43 are respectively placed at both ends of the plug-in part 42. The outer diameter of the limiting part 41 is larger than the diameter of the limiting hole 321. The limiting part 41 can abut against one side of the blocking member 3. The elastic part 43 has an expanded diameter state and a contracted diameter state. In the expanded diameter state, the outer diameter of the elastic part 43 is larger than the limiting hole 321 and can abut against the other side of the blocking member 3. In the contracted diameter state, the outer diameter of the elastic part 43 is smaller than the diameter of the limiting hole 321, so that the limiting member 4 can disengage from the limiting hole 321. The elastic part 43 can switch between the expanded diameter state and the contracted diameter state under its own elastic force. Thus, bidirectional mechanical limiting is achieved through the integrated structure of the limiting part 41, the insertion part 42, and the elastic part 43. Specifically, the limiting part 41 and the elastic part 43 in the expanded diameter state form a clamping and fixing of the blocking component 3, which has a higher vibration resistance than the traditional buckle structure. Secondly, the variable diameter design of the elastic part 43 can be unlocked by pressing, requiring less operating force and meeting the needs of quick one-handed operation. Thirdly, the elastic part 43 needs to be actively pressed to switch from the expanded diameter state to the reduced diameter state, which has high locking reliability and can improve the oil leakage prevention performance of the atomizer before use.
[0059] Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting component 4 can be interference-fitted with the limiting hole 321, which can also meet the usage requirements of the limiting component 4 being detachable and being able to restrict the sliding of the blocking component 3.
[0060] Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting component 4 can be threadedly connected to the limiting hole 321, which can also meet the usage requirements of the limiting component 4 being detachable and being able to slide and restrict the blocking component 3.
[0061] In one embodiment, the limiting component 4 can be a structure made of plastic or a structure made of metal.
[0062] In one embodiment, the limiting member 4 is located near the housing 1, and an operating opening is formed between the end of the limiting member 4 away from the elastic part 43 and the housing 1. The operating opening is used for a hand to reach in and grasp the limiting member 4. In this way, the reserved design of the operating opening allows the fingers to naturally reach in and grasp the limiting member 4, which facilitates a stable grip on the limiting member 4 and improves the stability and smoothness of pulling out the limiting member 4.
[0063] See Figures 2-6 In one embodiment, the blocking component 3 includes:
[0064] Barrier 31, which is slidably and sealingly disposed on housing 1, has an oil passage 311; and
[0065] An operation button 32 is connected to a barrier 31 and is slidably mounted on the housing 1. The operation button 32 has a limiting hole 321. Thus, through the linkage design of the barrier 31 and the operation button 32, the barrier 31 achieves precise opening and closing of the oil passage 311 through sliding sealing, while the operation button 32, with its integrated limiting hole 321, enables one-button control. The coordinated operation of these two components ensures both the accuracy of oil circuit control and provides an intuitive operating experience. (See also...) Figure 5 In one embodiment, the barrier 31 has a through channel through which the barrier 31 extends both vertically and horizontally.
[0066] Atomizers with oil-locking function also include:
[0067] An oil-blocking plug 6 is inserted into the through-channel, dividing it into an oil-passing channel 311 and a connecting channel. A portion of the operation button 32 is inserted into the connecting channel. Thus, by placing the oil-blocking plug 6 within the through-channel of the barrier 31, physical isolation between the oil path and the operation button 32 is achieved. The oil-blocking plug 6 divides the through-channel into an independent oil-passing channel 311 and a connecting channel, ensuring that e-liquid delivery and button operation do not interfere with each other. This ensures the connection stability of the operation button 32 while completely eliminating the risk of e-liquid seeping into it, while maintaining the overall simplicity of the barrier 31 structure. It achieves efficient integration of the fluid channel and mechanical connection channel in a single component.
[0068] In one embodiment, the operation button 32 can be interference-fitted with the connection channel or threadedly connected to the connection channel, as long as a reliable connection between the operation button 32 and the barrier 31 can be achieved.
[0069] See Figures 2-6 In one embodiment, the atomizer with oil-locking function further includes:
[0070] The sealing component 5 is disposed on the housing 1. The sealing component 5 has a slide, and the blocking member 31 is slidably disposed in the slide. The sealing component 5 is also provided with a first limiting protrusion 54, which is located on the inner wall of the slide and surrounds the blocking member 31. The first limiting protrusion 54 abuts against the outer wall of the blocking member 31. Since the barrier 31 is slidably inserted into the slide, the slide provides precise guidance for the barrier 31, making the sliding of the barrier 31 more stable and smooth, thereby improving the sliding stability of the barrier 31. Secondly, since the first limiting protrusion 54 is arranged around the barrier 31 and abuts against the outer wall of the barrier 31, the surrounding first limiting protrusion 54 and the outer wall of the barrier 31 form a dynamic sealing interface, which maintains smooth sliding while also having a sealing and leak-proof function. The moderate frictional resistance generated can prevent the barrier 31 from sliding accidentally. Together with the limiting component 4, it forms a double locking mechanism, which significantly improves the reliability of oil leakage prevention before use.
[0071] See Figure 5 In one embodiment, there are multiple first limiting protrusions 54, which are arranged sequentially along the sliding direction of the barrier 31. By setting multiple first limiting protrusions 54 along the sliding direction to form a stepped sealing structure, the barrier 31 can obtain continuous and stable sealing contact throughout the sliding process. This maintains the reliability of single-point sealing and enhances the dynamic sealing effect through multi-point distribution. At the same time, the progressive frictional resistance generated by the multi-protrusion structure gives the barrier 31 a more precise displacement feel, ensuring uniform leak prevention at any stopping position. In addition, the frictional resistance generated by the multi-protrusion structure is greater, which helps to further improve the oil leakage prevention performance before use.
[0072] See Figure 5 In one embodiment, at least two of the multiple first limiting protrusions 54 are positioned on both sides of the outlet of the oil passage 311 along the sliding direction of the barrier 31. Thus, by arranging the first limiting protrusions 54 on both sides of the outlet of the oil passage 311, a bidirectional sealing barrier is formed, ensuring that the oil passage 311 can obtain double sealing protection when switching between open and closed states. This maintains a smooth transition when switching the oil passage 311 and achieves complete isolation of the oil circuit opening and closing states, so that the barrier 31 can obtain balanced sealing pressure at each key position during the sliding process, effectively eliminating the leakage risk that may be caused by single-point sealing.
[0073] See Figure 5 In one embodiment, the slide connects the oil storage chamber 111 and the inlet of the oil passage 311;
[0074] The sealing component 5 also has an oil inlet channel 521, the outlet of which is connected to the atomizing channel 21;
[0075] With the barrier 31 in its initial position, the inlet of the oil inlet channel 521 faces the outer wall of the barrier 31, and the outlet of the oil passage 311 faces the sealing component 5.
[0076] When the barrier 31 is in the working position, the inlet of the oil inlet channel 521 is connected to the outlet of the oil passage 311. In this way, the intelligent switching of the oil circuit is achieved through the linkage design of the slide and the oil inlet channel 521. In the initial position, the outer wall of the barrier 31 closes the oil inlet channel 521 and the sealing component 5 closes the outlet of the oil passage 311, forming a physical isolation. In the working position, the oil passage 311 and the oil inlet channel 521 are precisely connected to establish a complete oil supply path. The seamless switching of the oil circuit is achieved by the natural sliding of the barrier 31, which ensures absolute sealing in the non-use state and stable oil supply during operation. The self-locking and oil supply function switching can be completed without the need for an additional drive mechanism.
[0077] See Figures 2-6 In one embodiment, the housing 1 includes:
[0078] Oil tank 11 has an oil storage chamber 111 and a first receiving chamber. The first receiving chamber is located at the end of the oil tank 11 and is connected to the oil storage chamber 111.
[0079] Bottom cover 12, bottom cover 12 having a second receiving cavity, the second receiving cavity communicating with the first receiving cavity; and
[0080] Connecting seat 13, one end of connecting seat 13 is inserted into the first receiving cavity, and the other end of connecting seat 13 is inserted into the second receiving cavity. Connecting seat 13 connects oil tank 11 and bottom cover 12 together. Connecting seat 13 has connecting hole, which extends through the connecting seat 13 from top to bottom. Connecting hole is for the end of atomizing component 2 to be inserted.
[0081] Sealing component 5 includes:
[0082] The first sealing seat 51 is inserted into the oil tank 11 and separates the oil storage chamber 111 and the first receiving chamber. The first sealing seat 51 is sleeved on the upper end of the connecting seat 13. The first sealing seat 51 is provided with a first sealing part 511 and a first slide section 512. The first sealing part 511 abuts against the outer wall of the atomizing component 2. The first sealing part 511 is arranged around the upper end of the connecting hole to seal the upper opening of the connecting hole. The first slide section 512 connects to the oil storage chamber 111.
[0083] The second sealing seat 52 is at least partially inserted into the lower end of the connecting seat 13 to seal the lower opening of the connecting hole. The second sealing seat 52 has an oil inlet channel 521 and a second slide section 522. The outlet of the oil inlet channel 521 connects to the connecting hole, and the second slide section 522 connects to the first slide section 512, forming a slide. Thus, the three-section housing 1 structure of the oil tank 11, bottom cover 12, and connecting seat 13, combined with the double sealing seat design, achieves multiple seals and modular assembly. The first sealing seat 51 physically isolates the oil storage chamber 111 from the first receiving chamber and seals the upper end of the connecting hole. The second sealing seat 52 seals the lower end of the connecting hole and constructs the oil inlet channel 521, preventing leakage of e-liquid from the lower opening of the connecting hole. The first slide section 512 of the first sealing seat 51 and the second slide section 522 of the second sealing seat 52 are precisely aligned. The first sealing seat 51 and the second sealing seat 52 form a complete guide path, ensuring that the blocking component 31 is sealed and guided throughout the sliding process. Secondly, the connecting seat 13, as the core connecting component, can not only mechanically fix the oil tank 11 and the bottom cover 12, but also provide an installation benchmark for the atomizing component 2, ensuring that the atomizing component 2 can be reliably installed on the housing 1. Thirdly, the oil tank 11, the bottom cover 12, the connecting seat 13, the first sealing seat 51 and the second sealing seat 52 form a vertically connected sealing system, which can ensure that each chamber is independently sealed while also enabling the controllable delivery of e-liquid from the oil storage chamber 111 to the atomizing channel 21.
[0084] See Figures 3-6In one embodiment, the sealing component 5 further includes a third sealing seat 53, which is inserted into the second receiving cavity. The third sealing seat 53 has a third slide section 531, which connects to the second slide section 522. The third slide section 531, the second slide section 522, and the first slide section 512 form a slide. The third slide section 531, the second slide section 522, and the first slide section 512 are all provided with a first limiting protrusion 54. The third sealing seat 53 and the bottom cover 12 form a third receiving cavity 532, which connects to the third slide section 531. The inner diameter of the third receiving cavity 532 is larger than the inner diameter of the third slide section 531. The operation button 32 is also provided with a positioning protrusion 322. When the blocking component 31 is in the working position, the operation button 32 is located in the third receiving cavity 532, and the positioning protrusion 322 abuts against the bottom wall of the third receiving cavity 532. By adding a third sealing seat 53 to construct a three-stage slide sealing system, the first, second and third slide sections 531 form a continuous sealed slide. Each slide section is provided with a first limiting protrusion 54 to ensure that the blocking member 31 slides under control throughout the entire process. The expanded third receiving cavity 532 formed by the third sealing seat 53 and the bottom cover 12 provides a precise positioning space for the operation button 32. When the blocking member 31 reaches the working position, the positioning protrusion 322 of the operation button 32 abuts against the bottom wall of the third receiving cavity 532 to form a mechanical limit, realizing the dual locking of the operation terminal positioning and the end of the sliding stroke. While extending the sealing path, it improves the stroke control mechanism of the operation button 32.
[0085] A preferred embodiment of this utility model provides an electronic cigarette, including the aforementioned atomizer with oil-locking function.
[0086] The electronic cigarette of this invention, employing the aforementioned atomizer, also uses a limiting component 4 that slides through a limiting hole 321 perpendicular to the sliding direction of the blocking component 3, forming a 90-degree mechanical hard limiting structure. Since the force generated by vibration or compression in actual application mainly acts along the sliding direction of the blocking component 3, and the locking direction of the limiting component 4 is perpendicular to it, the force generated by vibration or compression cannot directly act on the limiting component 4, thus ensuring that it will not be accidentally unlocked, significantly improving locking reliability. This allows the blocking component 3 to stably maintain its initial position, effectively enhancing its anti-leakage performance before use. Secondly, this mechanical hard limiting design rigidly blocks the sliding of the blocking component 3, ensuring that it is always restricted to its initial position, preventing accidental displacement, further improving locking reliability and anti-leakage effect. Furthermore, in the event of an accidental drop or other sudden situation, since the limiting component 4 is not affected by the force in the sliding direction, it can still maintain a reliable locked state, ensuring the sealing safety of the atomizer during transportation and use.
[0087] See Figures 3-6 In one embodiment, the electronic cigarette further includes:
[0088] The battery cell housing 7 is connected to the housing 1, and the battery cell housing 7 and the housing 1 form a fourth receiving cavity;
[0089] Battery cell 8 is housed within the fourth receiving cavity and is electrically connected to atomizing component 2. Thus, the combination of battery cell housing 7 and housing 1 forms an independent fourth receiving cavity to encapsulate battery cell 8. This achieves both compact integration of the electronic cigarette power supply module and atomizing system, and ensures circuit safety through physical isolation. The direct electrical connection between battery cell 8 and atomizing component 2 optimizes the energy transmission path, enhancing the overall structural integration while ensuring stable power supply.
