Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic cigarette technology, and in particular to an electronic cigarette. Background Technology

[0002] Existing electronic cigarettes generally include a battery component, an atomizing component, and a control component. The battery component provides electrical power. The atomizing component atomizes the e-liquid to form vapor for the user to inhale. The control component includes a control circuit and an airflow sensor. When the smoker inhales, a high-speed airflow is created. The airflow sensor detects the airflow and generates a working signal, which is sent to the circuit. The circuit controls the power supply path between the battery and the atomizing component based on the detected working signal. The heating wire inside the atomizing component heats up, and the e-liquid evaporates and atomizes, forming an aerosol that simulates cigarette smoke.

[0003] However, existing electronic cigarettes are easily inhaled by children. To address this issue, those skilled in the art have incorporated a start button on the outer surface of the electronic cigarette that works in conjunction with the control components. The operating signal from the airflow sensor only becomes effective after the user presses the start button a preset number of times. However, due to the unreasonable placement of the start button, it is easily accidentally activated, resulting in insufficient safety. Utility Model Content

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-9One embodiment of this application provides an electronic cigarette, which includes a mouthpiece 1, an outer tube 2, an atomizing assembly 3, a battery assembly 4, a control assembly 5, a water sound generator 6, a liquid storage assembly 7, a start button 81, a display screen 82, and a shielding plate 83. The mouthpiece 1 is fitted onto the first end of the outer tube 2 and is used for the user to inhale vapor; that is, the vapor formed by the atomization of the e-liquid is discharged from the mouthpiece 1 and then flows into the user's mouth for the user to inhale. A first annular protrusion 10 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the mouthpiece 1, and the first annular protrusion 10 surrounds the outer tube 2.

[0028] The suction nozzle 1 includes a straw 11, a first elastic clamping ring 12, a second elastic clamping ring 13, an air vent 14, and a clamping cap 15. The first end of the straw 11 is fitted onto the air vent 14, and the second end of the straw 11 is fitted onto the outer sleeve 2. The first elastic clamping ring 12 and the second elastic clamping ring 13 are spaced apart and both are located inside the straw 14. The first elastic clamping ring 12 and the second elastic clamping ring 13 can be made of elastic materials such as silicone. The first end of the air vent 14 is inserted into the first elastic clamping ring 12, and the second end of the air vent 14 is inserted into the second elastic clamping ring 13. The air vent 14 and the straw 11 are spaced apart. The clamping cap 15 is fitted over the second end of the straw 11, thus providing a more secure connection. The second end of the straw 11 and the sidewall of the clamping cap 15 combine to form a first annular protrusion 10.

[0029] By incorporating the ventilation tube 14, smoke is prevented from lingering in the straw 11 for extended periods, improving inhalation sensitivity and reducing the contact area between the smoke and the mouthpiece 1, thus decreasing condensation. Furthermore, the spaced ventilation tube 14 between the ventilation tube 14 and the straw 11 helps lower the temperature of the straw 11 during smoking, improving inhalation comfort. The first and second ends of the outer tube 2 are positioned opposite each other. The outer tube 2 has a display window 21, corresponding to the position of the display screen 82. A first slot 22 is located on the outer periphery of the first end of the outer tube 2, and a second slot 23 is located on the outer periphery of the second end. Both the first and second slots 22 communicate with the display window 21. In one embodiment, the outer periphery of the outer tube 2 can be decorated with a patterned sticker or have a pattern printed directly on it.

[0030] The atomizing component 3, located inside the outer tube 2, is used to atomize e-liquid to form vapor. It includes a liquid storage tube 31, a first sealing seat 32, a second sealing seat 33, a porous liquid suction column 34, a liquid guide 35, and a heating element 36. The liquid storage tube 31 is located inside the outer tube 2 and extends longitudinally along the outer tube 2. The first sealing seat 32 covers the first end of the liquid storage tube 31 and is connected to the mouthpiece 1. The second sealing seat 33 covers the second end of the liquid storage tube 31. The first sealing seat 32 and the second sealing seat 33 can be made of elastic materials such as silicone or rubber, thus effectively preventing e-liquid leakage.

[0031] The porous liquid-absorbing column 34 is located inside the liquid storage tube 31 and is used to absorb e-liquid. It has an atomizing chamber 341 that communicates with the air vent 14, extending through the two opposite end faces of the porous liquid-absorbing column 34. The porous liquid-absorbing column 34 can be made of porous materials such as porous ceramics, porous foam, or cotton to absorb e-liquid. The e-liquid can be made of propylene glycol, glycerol, and flavorings, as long as it can be atomized to form smoke when heated to a certain temperature; the specific materials are not limited here.

[0032] The liquid guiding component 35 is located within the atomizing chamber 341 of the porous liquid suction column 34 and is in contact with the porous liquid suction column 34 to conduct the e-liquid within the porous liquid suction column 34 to the heating element 36. The liquid guiding component 35 can be made of cotton cloth, non-woven fabric, or a combination thereof, or it can be made of porous ceramic or other materials. The heating element 36 is attached to the liquid guiding component 35 and can be a heating wire or a heating mesh. After the heating element 36 is energized and heats up, it atomizes the e-liquid on the liquid guiding component 35 to form smoke, which then flows out from the air vent 14 of the mouthpiece 1.

[0033] The first end of the battery assembly 4 is connected to the atomizing assembly 3, and the second end of the battery assembly 4 is connected to the liquid storage assembly 7. The second end of the battery assembly 4 extends beyond the outer sleeve 2 and is provided with a second annular protrusion 40. The first annular protrusion 10, the second annular protrusion 40, and the outer sleeve 2 form an annular clearance groove 9. The first end and the second end of the battery assembly 4 are positioned opposite each other. The battery assembly 4 includes a battery sleeve 41, a battery 42, a connector 43, a liquid suction block 44, and a sealing sleeve 45. The first end and the second end of the battery sleeve 41 are positioned opposite each other, and the second annular protrusion 40 is located on the outer circumferential surface of the second end of the battery sleeve 41. The battery sleeve 41 is also provided with a positioning groove 410, a receiving groove 411, a fixing groove 412, and a first air passage 413 communicating with the atomizing chamber 341 of the atomizing component 3. The positioning groove 410 is located on the outer wall surface of the second end of the battery sleeve 41, and the opening of the positioning groove 410 faces the nozzle 1. The second end of the outer sleeve 2 extends into the positioning groove 410. The receiving groove 411 and the first air passage 413 are arranged side by side, and the opening of the receiving groove 411 faces the end face of the first end of the battery sleeve 41. The bottom wall of the receiving groove 411 is provided with a second sensing hole 414, which communicates with the receiving groove 411 and the fixing groove 412. The fixing groove 412 is located on the end face of the second end of the battery sleeve 41.

[0034] A fixing post 415 extending toward the first end of the battery sleeve 41 is provided on the wall of the fixing groove 412. A limiting step 4151 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the fixing post 415. The fixing post 415 is provided with a second vent 416 communicating with the first vent 413. The second vent 416 is connected to the outside of the electronic cigarette through the liquid storage component 7. Both the first vent 413 and the second vent 416 extend longitudinally along the battery sleeve 41. The cross-sectional area of ​​the second vent 416 is smaller than that of the first vent 413. The opening of the second vent 416 facing the first vent 413 extends into the first vent 413 to form a liquid-blocking ring 417, which can prevent the leakage of e-liquid.

[0035] The battery 42 is located within the receiving groove 411. Since the first vent 413 is arranged parallel to the receiving groove 411, the probability of e-liquid flowing into the receiving groove 411 is greatly reduced. The connector 43 covers the opening of the receiving groove 411 and is connected to the battery sleeve 41 and the second sealing seat 33 of the atomizing assembly 3. The connector 43 includes a docking groove 431 communicating with the atomizing assembly 3. One end of the second sealing seat 33 is inserted into the docking groove 431 to connect the atomizing assembly 3 to the docking groove 431.

[0036] The bottom wall of the docking groove 431 extends into the first air passage 413 to form a docking column 432, which not only ensures reliable fixation but also reduces the probability of e-liquid flowing into the receiving tank 411. The docking column 432 is provided with a third air passage 433, which communicates with the docking groove 431 and the first air passage 413, and is connected to the atomizing chamber 341 through the docking groove 431. The bottom wall of the docking groove 431 extends into the direction of the atomizing component 3 to form a liquid-blocking column 434, which prevents e-liquid from flowing into the receiving tank 411. The liquid-blocking column 434 is provided with a first sensing hole 435 connected to the docking groove 431 and the receiving tank 411, and the first sensing hole 435 is connected to the atomizing chamber 341 through the docking groove 431.

[0037] The absorbent block 44 is located within the docking groove 431 and is used to absorb leaked or condensed e-liquid. The absorbent block 44 can be made of porous materials such as cotton. The sealing sleeve 45 is fitted onto the docking post 432 and elastically abuts against the wall of the first vent 413, thus achieving a better seal and preventing e-liquid from flowing into the receiving groove 411. One end of the sealing sleeve 45 extends between the bottom wall of the receiving groove 411 and the opening of the first vent 413 to define the position of the sealing sleeve 45, thus providing not only good sealing performance but also easy assembly and placement during assembly.

[0038] The control component 5 is located within the fixing groove 412 and sleeved on the fixing post 415. The limiting step 4151 abuts against the control component 5, thus ensuring a relatively stable and reliable fixation. The control component 5 is electrically connected to the battery assembly 4 and the underwater acoustic generator 6. It includes a fixing plate 50, a control plate 51, an airflow sensor 52, a light source 53, a control button 54, and a control circuit (not shown in the figure). The control plate 51 is located within the fixing groove 412. The airflow sensor 52 is located within the fixing groove 412 and is electrically connected to the control circuit. The second sensing hole 414 communicates with the airflow sensor 52 through the fixing groove 412.

[0039] In other words, the sensing channel formed by the first sensing hole 435, the receiving groove 411, and the second sensing hole 414 is separated from the air intake channel formed by the first air passage 413, etc. This not only improves the sensitivity of inhalation but also better prevents e-liquid from flowing into the airflow sensor 52, thus avoiding damage to the airflow sensor 52. A light source 53 is fixed on the side of the control board 51 facing the liquid storage assembly 7. Several light sources 53 are arranged at equal intervals to form a ring. A control button 54 is mounted on the fixed plate 50 and electrically connected to the control circuit. When the control button 54 is pressed, it sends a control signal to the control circuit. The control circuit is located on the control board 51 and electrically connected to the water sound generator 6 and the atomizing assembly 3.

[0040] The water sound generator 6 is located within the mounting slot 412 and mounted on the control board 51. The water sound generator 6 is used to emit water sounds when the user inhales the electronic cigarette. The electronic cigarette can be unlocked by pressing the control button 54 a preset number of times within a preset time. The preset time can be 1 second, 2 seconds, or 3 seconds, and the preset number of presses can be 3, 4, or 5 times, etc. After the electronic cigarette is unlocked, when the user inhales, the airflow sensor 52 is triggered, sending a working signal to the control circuit. The control circuit then controls the heating element 36 to heat up and the water sound generator 6 to emit water sounds based on the working signal. The working signal can be a high-level signal or a low-level signal, and the water sound generator 6 can be a speaker. The volume of the sound emitted by the water sound generator 6 can be adjusted as needed. It is understood that if the electronic cigarette is not unlocked, the control circuit will not control the heating element 36 to heat up even if it receives the working signal.

[0041] The liquid storage assembly 7 is connected to the battery sleeve 41 and covers the fixing groove 412. The liquid storage assembly 7 contains a ring-shaped liquid storage chamber 70, which corresponds to the position of the light source 53. The liquid storage chamber 70 stores a flowable liquid 701 (simulating water) and several flowable particles 702. The flowable liquid 701 can be water or oil, as long as it is a liquid that can flow at room temperature. The liquid storage chamber 70 is isolated from the atomizing assembly 3. At least a portion of the chamber wall of the liquid storage chamber 70 is translucent to allow observation of the flowable liquid 701. The flowable particles 702 are located within the liquid storage chamber 70 and are mixed with the flowable liquid 701. The flowable particles 702 flow along with the flow of the liquid 701. The light source 53 is fixed to the side of the control panel 51 facing the liquid storage chamber 70 and is used to illuminate the flowable particles 702, causing them to reflect light out of the electronic cigarette. The flowable particles 702 emit dazzling light in all directions, thus improving the user experience. The flowing particles 702 can be gravel or plastic particles, etc.

[0042] Specifically, the liquid storage component 7 is located at the end of the electronic cigarette and includes an end cap 71, a sealing block 72, a connecting seat 73, a first elastic sealing ring 74, a second elastic sealing ring 75, and a gas regulating component 76. Both the end cap 71 and the connecting seat 73 are transparent and can be made of glass or plastic. The side of the end cap 71 facing the connecting seat 73 has a liquid storage tank 711 and a sound emission groove 712. The flowing liquid 701 is located within the liquid storage tank 711, which surrounds the sound emission groove 712. The sound emission groove 712 is connected to the water sound generator 6, thus providing a more realistic water sound for the user. A fixing groove 412 is located on the end face of the battery assembly 4 facing the sound emission groove 712. The groove wall of the sound emission groove 712 has a sound emission hole 713, which communicates with the sound emission groove 712 and the end face of the end cap 71 facing away from the battery assembly 4. An air regulating groove 714 is also provided on the side of the end cover 71 facing away from the connecting seat 73, and the air regulating groove 714 corresponds to the position of the sound outlet groove 712.

[0043] The sealing block 72 is located inside the sound outlet groove 712 and elastically abuts against the control component 5. The sealing block 72 is provided with an air guide groove 721, which is connected to the atomizing component 3 through the second air passage 416. The groove wall of the air guide groove 721 is provided with an air guide hole 722, and the groove wall of the sound outlet groove 712 is provided with an air inlet hole 715. The air inlet hole 715 is connected to the air guide hole 722, the air regulating groove 714, and the end face of the end cap 71 facing away from the battery component 4. When inhaling the electronic cigarette, the external gas of the electronic cigarette flows into the air guide groove 721 through the air inlet hole 715, and then flows into the atomizing chamber 341 through the second air passage 416, the first air passage 413, the third air passage 433, and the docking groove 431.

[0044] The connector 73 covers the opening of the liquid storage tank 711 and is connected to the wall of the fixing groove 412, that is, the connector 73 is connected to the second end of the battery assembly 4. The end wall of the connector 73 and the wall of the liquid storage tank 711 cooperate to form a liquid storage cavity 70. The connector 73 is provided with a first slot 731 and a second slot 732. The first elastic sealing ring 74 is located in the first slot 731, and the wall of the sound outlet groove 712 extends into the first slot 731 and elastically abuts against the first elastic sealing ring 74. The second elastic sealing ring 75 is located in the second slot 732, and the wall of the liquid storage tank 711 extends into the second slot 732 and elastically abuts against the second elastic sealing ring 75, thus better preventing leakage.

[0045] The air regulating component 76 is located in the air regulating groove 714 and is movably connected to the end cover 71 to adjust the air intake volume of the air inlet 715. When the user needs to adjust the air intake volume, the air regulating component 76 can be rotated to adjust the air intake volume, thus adapting to different users.

[0046] By incorporating a water sound generator 6 and a liquid storage assembly 7, the water sound generator 6 emits water sounds when the user inhales the electronic cigarette, simulating the water sounds produced when the user inhales hookah, thus satisfying the user's auditory needs. The liquid storage assembly 7 contains a liquid storage chamber 70, which stores a flowable liquid 701 to mimic water. At least a portion of the chamber wall of the liquid storage chamber 70 is translucent to allow observation of the flowable liquid 701, thus satisfying the user's visual needs. Furthermore, since the liquid storage chamber 70 is isolated from the atomizing assembly 3 and the two are not interconnected, the liquid storage chamber 70 is in a sealed state. Therefore, it prevents the e-liquid and vapor in the atomizing assembly 3 from flowing into the liquid storage chamber 70 or the flowable liquid 701 in the liquid storage chamber 70 from leaking out, facilitating transportation and use. This application does not require the sound of real water, thus eliminating the need for a large amount of water, and has the advantages of small size and light weight.

[0047] The start button 81 corresponds to the control button 54. One end of the start button 81 is located inside the outer sleeve 2, and the other end is located inside the clearance groove 9. Therefore, the start button 81 is less likely to be accidentally activated during transportation and other scenarios. During user operation, when the user presses the start button 81, the start button 81 moves towards the control button 54 to transmit external force to the control button 54. The display screen 82 is located inside the outer sleeve 2 and is electrically connected to the control circuit. The display surface of the display screen 82 is positioned facing the shielding plate 83 and is used to display text, patterns, and other information. The shielding plate 83 is connected to the outer sleeve and is used to shield the display screen 82 so that it is not easily visible when the display screen 82 is not in operation.

[0048] The shielding plate 83 is made of a semi-transparent material and has an area larger than that of the display screen 82. Therefore, it not only protects the display screen 82 but also gives the user the illusion of a larger screen, improving the user experience. The first end of the shielding plate 83 is located between the first end of the outer sleeve 2 and the first annular protrusion 10, and the second end of the shielding plate 83 is located between the second end of the outer sleeve 2 and the second annular protrusion 40. Preferably, the first end of the shielding plate 83 is located within the first slot 22, and the second end of the shielding plate 83 is located within the second slot 23, thus making the shielding plate 83 more securely and reliably fixed. To facilitate assembly and improve production efficiency, the start button 81 and the shielding plate 83 are integrally molded.

[0049] In summary, this application provides a first annular protrusion 10 on the outer periphery of the mouthpiece 1, which surrounds the outer sleeve 2. A second annular protrusion 40 is provided at one end of the battery assembly 4 extending outside the outer sleeve 2. The first annular protrusion 10, the second annular protrusion 40, and the outer sleeve 2 form an annular clearance groove 9. One end of the start button 81 is located inside the outer sleeve 2, and the other end is located inside the clearance groove 9. Therefore, during transportation or daily use, the start button 81 is less likely to be accidentally touched by external objects, thus improving the safety of the electronic cigarette.
