Electronic Cigarette Guide Rib Groove Assembly Mechanism

The connection structure is divided into a guide rib on one component and a guide groove on the other component. This segmentation allows for a simpler, non-threaded connection mechanism that enables quick assembly and disassembly while maintaining secure connection through the interlocking rib-groove geometry.

Instead of using a threaded screw mechanism that requires rotational motion and multiple turns for assembly, the patent inverts the approach by using a direct linear insertion method with guide ribs fitting into guide grooves. This inversion eliminates the time-consuming threading process while maintaining connection security through the complementary geometric shapes.

The connection is segmented into guide ribs and guide grooves that provide inherent alignment and positioning. This segmentation ensures proper tightening without requiring excessive force, as the geometric fit naturally guides the components into the correct position, maintaining atomizer functionality while enabling easy disassembly.

The guide rib and guide groove structure is self-aligning and self-positioning. When the components are brought together, the guide rib automatically fits into the guide groove, ensuring proper tightening and alignment without requiring precise manual adjustment. This self-service mechanism ensures reliable atomizer functionality while keeping disassembly simple by eliminating the need for over-tightening.
