Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of
electronic cigarette, and more specifically relates to an
electronic cigarette and an atomizing device thereof
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Electronic cigarette is a simulated cigarette. An atomizing
device of an electronic cigarette is mainly used for smoking
cessation and for replacing real cigarette. Electronic cigarette
has the same appearance as a real cigarette and tastes similar to a
real cigarette. In fact, electronic cigarette has a lot more
flavors than real cigarette. Also, the smoke and taste of a real
cigarette and the feeling of smoking a real cigarette can be found
in smoking an electronic cigarette. As compared with a real
cigarette, an electronic cigarette does not have harmful substances
such as tar and suspended micro-particles. Therefore, electronic
cigarette is the best alternative of real cigarette.
[0003] Nowadays, an atomizing device of an electronic cigarette has
a design that allows unrestricted replenishment of e-liquid. Users
may therefore easily replenish unqualified e-liquid into the
atomizing device and thus damaging their own health. Further, an
existing atomizing device is usually connected to a battery portion
by screw threads. Therefore, an existing electronic cigarette
breaks down frequently and is also complicated to use.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0024] For easier understanding of the present invention, the
present invention will be described in detail below with reference
to the accompanying drawings. The drawings only illustrate a
preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted
that the present invention can be implemented in many different
ways and therefore should not be limited to the embodiment
described below. The embodiment described below is only intended
for more detailed and thorough understanding of the present
invention.
[0025] With reference to FIGS. 1 to 6, an atomizing device of an
electronic cigarette of the present invention comprises an
atomizing tube 1, an atomizing component 2 disposed internal to the
atomizing tube 1 and a connector 4 for connecting a battery
component 3. An e-liquid storage space 5 is provided in an inner
portion of the atomizing tube 1. A bottom part of the e-liquid
storage space 5 is sealed by inner walls of the atomizing tube 1
and side walls of the atomizing component 2. An e-liquid inlet 21
is provided on the atomizing component 2 for inlet of the e-liquid.
One end of the connector 4 is fixed at a bottom part of the
atomizing component 2. Another end of the connector 4 is fixedly
connected to the battery component 3 via mortise and tenon
joints.
[0026] A vapor channel 6 communicating with the atomizing component
2 is provided inside a middle part of the inner portion of the
atomizing tube 1. The atomizing tube 1 and the atomizing component
2 are connected by non-removable tight fitting, in particular, a
top part of the atomizing component 2 is silica gel wrapping the
vapor channel 6 in the middle part of the inner portion of the
atomizing tube 1; a bottom part of the atomizing component 2 is
also silica gel having an outer diameter greater than an inner
diameter of the atomizing tube 1 so that when the atomizing
component 2 is inserted into the atomizing tube 1, the atomizing
component 2 will tightly attach to the inner walls of the atomizing
tube 1.
[0027] E-liquid in the e-liquid storage space 5 enters into the
atomizing component 2 via the e-liquid inlet 21 on the atomizing
component 2. A liquid filtering and blocking device 22 is provided
at the e-liquid inlet 21 to prevent leakage of the e-liquid into
the vapor channel 6.
[0028] The connector 4 comprises a disc 42 and a cylinder 44
extending from one side of the disc 42. The cylinder 44 is tightly
inserted into the bottom part of the atomizing component 2. An air
inlet hole 41 and electrode contacts 43 are provided on the disc
42. The air inlet hole 41 communicates with the atomizing component
2 and the atomizing tube 1. The connector 4 is electronically
connected to the atomizing component 2 and the battery component 3
via the electrode contacts 43.
[0029] Two sides of the disc 42 are provided with protrusions 45
for fitting and fixing to the battery component 3.
[0030] A top part of the atomizing component 2 is resilient
material wrapping outer walls of the vapor channel 6. The resilient
material can prevent leakage of the e-liquid into the vapor channel
6.
[0031] With reference to FIGS. 4 to 6, the present invention also
provides an electronic cigarette comprising the battery component 3
and the atomizing device as described above. The battery component
3 comprises an outer tube 31, a battery 32 disposed internal to the
outer tube 31, and resilient electrode pins 33 disposed at an upper
part of the battery 32. The resilient electrode pins 33 are
electronically connected to the connector 4 and the atomizing
component 2. The outer tube 31 is fixedly connected to the
connector 4 via mortise and tenon joints.
[0032] Inner walls of an upper part of the outer tube 31 are
provided with fitting slots 36 which match with the protrusions 45.
By fitting the protrusions 45 to the fitting slots 36, the outer
tube 31 is fixedly connected to the connector 4.
[0033] In other words, the connector 4 is fixed with the battery
component 3 via mortise and tenon joints. During use, an end of the
connector 4 of the atomizing device is inserted into the fitting
slots 36 of the outer tube 31 and is then being rotated so that the
protrusions 45 are tightly fitted in the fitting slots 36 such that
the outer tube 31 is fixedly connected to the connector 4, and the
electrode contacts 43 of the connector 4 are electronically
connected to the resilient electrode pins 33. In the present
embodiment, the resilient electrode pins 33 are made of resilient
and telescopic material enabling further stroke of the pins 33
after contact with the connector 4.
[0034] A bottom part of the outer tube 31 is provided with an air
flow sensor 34 and a magnetic charging port 35. The air flow sensor
34 is activated to enable electrical connection by an air flow
caused by an inhaling action of the user. The magnetic charging
port 35 is used for recharging the battery 32.
[0035] During use of the atomizing device of the present invention,
the bottom part of the e-liquid storage space 5 is sealed by the
inner walls of the atomizing tube 1 and the side walls of the
atomizing component 2, and the e-liquid stored inside the e-liquid
storage space 5 enters the atomizing component 2 via the e-liquid
inlet 21 provided on the atomizing component 2. As compared to
prior arts, the atomizing device of the present invention is sealed
to disable replenishment of e-liquid, thereby enhancing its safety
during use by preventing possible accidents caused by unrestricted
replenishment of e-liquid.
[0036] Furthermore, mortise and tenon joints are used to connect
the atomizing device 6 and the battery component, thereby
facilitating connection and reducing the breakdown rate.
[0037] The above described embodiment and application of the
present invention are merely illustrative. The present invention
should not be limited to the above described embodiment and
application. Any changes and alterations of the embodiment
described herein can be made based on alternative configurations
and components known to a person skilled in this field of art as
equally effective. A person skilled in this field of art should
know that, the present invention can be implemented in another
form, structure, configuration and proportion and by using other
parts, components and materials without deviating from the essence
or spirit of the present invention. Therefore, any changes and
alterations of the embodiment described herein can be made without
deviating from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
