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] In this utility model, the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing and understanding the technology of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the device or component to have a specific orientation or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides an electronic cigarette with a dynamic grating pattern effect, including a main unit 12 and an atomizer 1 electrically connected to the main unit 12. The main unit 12 is provided with a panel assembly 1201, which includes a light-transmitting sheet 9 exposed outside the main unit 12, a grating plate 8 corresponding to the back of the light-transmitting sheet 9, and a pattern plate 7 pasted on the back of the grating plate 8. The pattern plate 7 is provided with a plurality of images 701 corresponding to the grating plate 8. When the main unit 12 is rotated, the images 701 can undergo a diffraction effect through the refraction of the grating plate 8, and the movement or switching of the images 701 can be observed outside the main unit 12 through the light-transmitting sheet 9. The main unit 12 is provided with a lamp plate 5 corresponding to the pattern plate 7, and a power supply assembly 1202 for supplying power to the lamp plate 5 and the atomizer 1. It should be noted that by designing the panel assembly 1201 and the light panel 5, rotating the main unit 12 can cause the image 701 to change dynamically, which not only makes the electronic cigarette more interesting and playable, but also makes the appearance of the electronic cigarette more aesthetically pleasing, and the appearance can be further enhanced by the light from the light panel 5 at night.

[0026] In some embodiments, the thickness of the lenticular plate 8 is 1mm to 5mm, and the shape and size of the light-transmitting sheet 9, the lenticular plate 8, and the pattern plate 7 are identical. The thickness of the lenticular plate 8 can be 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm. The lenticular plate 8 thicknesses listed above ensure good clarity of the dynamic effect after the pattern moves or switches, and that the light is fully projected after the lamp plate 5 emits light. In this embodiment, the thickness of the lenticular plate 8 is 3mm, which provides the best clarity of the dynamic effect and the optimal light transmittance. The identical shape and size of the light-transmitting sheet 9, the lenticular plate 8, and the pattern plate 7 prevent overlapping and the resulting gaps that could affect aesthetics and cause light leakage.

It not only allows for clear observation of the dynamic image 701 from outside the host 12, but also effectively protects the panel assembly 1201. In this embodiment, the grating plate 8, the pattern plate 7, and the light plate 5 are made of acrylic material, which has good light transmittance, pressure resistance, drop resistance, and machinability.

[0028] In some embodiments, the surface of the grating plate 8 is provided with a plurality of parallel and equally spaced grooves 801 by laser processing or machining. The grooves 801 allow light shining on the grating plate 8 to be refracted and to produce a diffraction effect during the rotation of the host 12, thereby making the movement and switching of the image 701 visually observable.

In this embodiment, the image 701 is covered on the surface of the pattern plate 7 using an adhesive process, which is the easiest to operate. In other embodiments, the pattern may also use a water transfer printing process, a moiré pattern drawing process, a spray film process, a laser engraving process, etc., but is not limited to these.
