Description

[0001] The disclosure relates to an atomizer.

[0002] Conventionally, the e-liquid is directly stored in the atomizer before and during use. There is a risk that the e-liquid may erode or oxidize the heating body. Thus, the quality of the e-liquid is adversely affected.

[0003] EP 3398462 A2 discloses an atomizer comprising the features mentioned in the preamble of the present claim 1; in particular it recites an atomizer of an electronic cigarette. The atomizer includes: an atomizing sleeve with a liquid storage chamber formed therein; a mouthpiece disposed at a top end of the atomizing sleeve; an air passage pipe disposed at a center of the atomizing sleeve; a supporter with two open ends disposed at a bottom end of the air passage pipe; a hollow heating element disposed in the supporter longitudinally, a side wall of the supporter having at least one liquid inlet hole communicating with the liquid storage chamber and configured for allowing radial infiltration of the tobacco liquid to the heating element; and a sealing component disposed between the heating element and the supporter to encircle the heating element, and configured for avoiding leakage of the tobacco liquid along a longitudinal direction of the heating element.Summary of the claimed invention :

[0004] The present invention claims an atomizer according to claim 1. Preferred embodiments are claimed in the dependent claims 2-6.Summary of the disclosure :

[0005] The disclosure provides an atomizer, comprising an e-liquid tank, a connector, a silicone sleeve, and an atomization element. The connector is disposed in the e-liquid tank. The silicone sleeve is disposed around the connector. The atomization element is in threaded connection to the e-liquid tank. The atomization element comprises a top end provided with an e-liquid inlet. The top end is disposed in the silicone sleeve whereby the e-liquid inlet is sealed; one end of the silicone sleeve extends out of the e-liquid tank; when the atomization element is short of e-liquid, lifting up the silicone sleeve to expose the e-liquid inlet, so as to inject the e-liquid into the atomization element.

[0006] In a class of this embodiment, the atomizer further comprises a seal plug sealing a hole on a bottom end of the atomization element.

[0007] In a class of this embodiment, the atomizer further comprises a joint electrically connected to a bottom end of the atomization element.

[0008] In a class of this embodiment, the atomizer further comprises a steel casing disposed on a bottom end of the e-liquid tank to prevent thermal deformation of the e-liquid tank.

[0009] The following advantages are associated with the atomizer of the disclosure: the e-liquid inlet of the atomization element is sealed in the silicone sleeve. When in nonuse, the e-liquid stays out of the atomization element thus ensuring the quality of the e-liquid after a period of time of storage. The e-liquid is easily injected into the atomization element by lifting up the silicone sleeve. FIG. 1 is an exploded view of an atomizer according to one embodiment of the disclosure; FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an atomizer according to another embodiment of the disclosure; and FIG. 3 is a sectional view of an atomizer according to one embodiment of the disclosure.

[0010] To further illustrate, embodiments detailing an atomizer are described below. It should be noted that the following embodiments are intended to describe and not to limit the disclosure.

[0011] As shown in FIGS. 1-3, an atomizer comprises an e-liquid tank 1, a connector 2, a silicone sleeve 3, an atomization element 4, a seal plug 5, a joint 6, and a steel casing 7. The connector 2 is disposed in the e-liquid tank 1. The silicone sleeve 3 is disposed around the connector 2. The atomization element 4 is in threaded connection to the e-liquid tank 1. The atomization element 4 comprises a top end provided with an e-liquid inlet. The top end is disposed in the silicone sleeve 3 whereby the e-liquid inlet is sealed. The seal plug 5 is disposed in a hole on a bottom end of the atomization element 4 to seal the hole. The joint 6 is electrically connected to the bottom end of the atomization element 4 for electric conduction. The steel casing 7 is disposed on the bottom end of the e-liquid tank 1 to prevent thermal deformation of the e-liquid tank 1. One end of the silicone sleeve 3 extends out of the e-liquid tank 1; when the atomization element 4 is short of e-liquid, lifting up the one end of the silicone sleeve 3 to expose the e-liquid inlet, so as to inject the e-liquid into the atomization element 4.

[0012] The following advantages are associated with the atomizer of the disclosure: 1. The atomization element is separated from the e-liquid tank. When in nonuse, the e-liquid stays out of the atomization element thus ensuring the quality of the e-liquid after a period of time of storage. 2. The e-liquid is easily injected into the atomization element by lifting up the silicone sleeve.

[0013] It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications.
