Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic cigarette technology, and specifically to an airway structure for a foolproof cartridge for electronic cigarettes. Background Technology

[0002] An electronic cigarette is an electronic device that mimics the function of a traditional cigarette. It vaporizes a liquid containing nicotine using an atomizer, allowing the user to inhale the vapor. Electronic cigarettes typically consist of a cartridge and a device. The cartridge contains a vaporizer, which is powered by a battery within the device. This vaporizer transforms the liquid nicotine in the cartridge into a vapor, giving the user a sensation similar to smoking, allowing them to "exhale clouds of smoke."

[0003] The current connection method between the e-cigarette device and the cartridge generally uses a one-to-one contact between positive and negative electrodes and corresponding pin positions to achieve electrical connection. The cartridge has a main atomizing airway running through the upper and lower surfaces of the cartridge, and positive and negative electrodes are located on both sides of the bottom of the cartridge. To avoid the positive and negative electrodes being reversed between the cartridge and the device, manufacturers have modified the cartridge by placing one or more positive electrodes in the center and the other on the side. This avoids the common problem of reversed positive and negative electrodes and serves as a foolproof method. However, placing the electrode in the center occupies the air intake space at the lower end of the cartridge's main airway, affecting the vaping experience and failing to meet the user's needs.

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model discloses an airway structure for a foolproof cartridge in an electronic cigarette, comprising a cartridge body 1, an atomizing core assembly 2, and a lower sealing oil assembly. The atomizing core assembly 2 is disposed within the cartridge body 1, and the lower sealing oil assembly is disposed at the lower end of the cartridge body 1. The lower sealing oil assembly includes a lower sealing silicone 3, a cartridge base 4, a central electrode block 5, and an electrode 6. The central electrode block 5 and the electrode 6 are respectively the positive or negative terminals connected to electricity. The lower end face of the cartridge base 4 is provided with an air inlet 41 and a central mounting groove 42, and the central electrode block 5 is disposed at the central mounting groove 42. In the groove 42, the air inlet 41 is located on the side of the central mounting groove 42. The cartridge base 4 is provided with an air passage groove 43 and a connecting tube 44. The lower sealing silicone 3 is sleeved on the cartridge base 4. The inner wall of the lower sealing silicone 3 and the air passage groove 43 form an air intake channel. One end of the air intake channel is connected to the air inlet 41. The lower end of the atomizing core assembly 2 is installed in the connecting tube 44. The connecting tube 44 is provided with an air intake notch 441 that is connected to the other end of the air intake channel. The gas from the air inlet 41 can flow into the atomizing core assembly 2 through the air intake notch 441.

[0026] With the cooperation of the air inlet 41, the air channel groove 43 and the air inlet notch 441, the inner wall of the lower sealing silicone 3 and the air channel groove 43 form an air intake channel, which moves the air intake of the e-cigarette cartridge to the side and guides it through the air intake channel. Finally, the air flows into the atomizing core assembly 2 from the air inlet notch 441. This effectively solves the problem of occupying the air intake space by setting the central electrode block 5 in the center position and improves the user's vaping experience.

[0027] The connecting tube 44 and the cartridge base 4 are integrally formed, and the lower sealing silicone 3 is provided with mounting holes 31 that cooperate with the atomizing core assembly 2.

Furthermore, by providing the mounting hole 31, the sealing performance between the connecting cylinder 44 and the lower sealing silicone 3 can be improved.

[0029] There are two air inlets 41, two air passage slots 43, and two air inlet gaps 441. The two air inlets 41 are respectively located on both sides of the central electrode block 5.

[0030] By setting two air inlets 41, air is drawn in from the left and right sides, increasing both the air volume and the flow rate.

[0031] Oil-absorbing cotton 7 is installed inside the air intake channel 43. The oil-absorbing cotton 7 can absorb the e-liquid or condensate in the air intake channel.

[0033] The oil filling plug 8 allows for convenient oil filling of the e-cigarette cartridge.

[0034] There are two oil filling plugs 8, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central mounting groove 42. By setting two oil filling plugs 8, the oil filling efficiency can be effectively improved.

[0035] The lower sealing silicone 3 has a positioning boss 33 between the connecting cylinder 44 and the oil injection column 46. The positioning boss 33 can improve the stability of the position between the lower sealing silicone 3 and the cartridge base 4.

[0036] The electrode component 6 is an electrode metal sleeve, which is fitted onto the lower end of the cartridge body 1. The atomizing core assembly 2 is provided with a first pin 21 and a second pin 22. The electrode metal sleeve is provided with a clearance hole 61 that cooperates with the central electrode block 5. The clearance hole 61 can prevent the central electrode block 5 from contacting the electrode metal sleeve. The first pin 21 is electrically connected to the central electrode block 5, and the second pin 22 is electrically connected to the electrode metal sleeve.

[0037] The two probes of the cigarette rod contact the central electrode block 5 and the electrode metal sleeve respectively to make electrical connections. By setting the electrode metal sleeve, the contact area for establishing an electrical connection between the electrode and the pin of the cigarette rod can be effectively increased, thereby improving the product yield. Furthermore, the central electrode block 5 is set in the center position, which can effectively prevent the positive and negative electrodes from being reversed with the pin of the cigarette rod, thus effectively improving the user experience.

The lower end face of the cartridge base 4 is provided with a first wiring groove 48 that mates with the first pin 21. The first pin 21 passes through the first pin hole 47 and the first wiring groove 48 in sequence and is disposed in the central mounting groove 42. The first wiring groove 48 can prevent the first pin 21 from contacting the electrode metal sleeve.

[0039] The cartridge base 4 has a second pin hole 49 on the side of the oil filling hole 45, and the second pin 22 is set in the second pin hole 49. The lower end face of the cartridge base 4 has a second wiring groove 50 that cooperates with the second pin 22. The second pin 22 passes through the second pin hole 49 and the second wiring groove 50 in sequence and is set in the oil filling hole 45. The oil filling plug 8 is made of metal. The second wiring groove 50 can position the second pin 22. The second pin 22 is electrically connected to the oil filling plug. The oil filling plug is electrically connected to the electrode metal sleeve.

[0040] As can be seen from the above, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by adopting its structure, it can effectively solve the problem in the prior art where the electrode of the tobacco cartridge is placed in the center position, which occupies the air intake space at the lower end of the main air channel of the tobacco cartridge and affects the vaping experience. Through the cooperation of the air intake hole 41, the air channel groove 43 and the air intake notch 441, the inner wall of the lower sealing silicone 3 and the air channel groove 43 form an air intake channel, which moves the air intake of the tobacco cartridge to the side and guides it through the air intake channel, and finally flows into the atomizing core assembly 2 from the air intake notch 441. This effectively solves the problem of occupying the air intake space by placing the central electrode block 5 in the center position, and improves the user's vaping experience.
