The present disclosure relates to the field of electronic cigarette sets, and in particular, to an atomizer with adjustable air intake quantity, and an electronic cigarette having same.
Currently, in the market, a typical electronic cigarette has a function of adjusting air intake quantity, by which, concentration of an aerosol generated by the atomizer is changed, allowing the users to achieve different taste flavors. In the prior art, the technical schemes of adjusting air intake quantity are realized by a rotating ring with a side opening to permit a stepless adjustment of the air intake quantity in a 360-degree view. That is, by changing an overlapping area between the side opening on the rotating ring and the air inlet, with a positioning pillar to limit the position, the air intake quantity is changed. However, the cost for designing the structure is pretty high, so is the cost for manually assembling. The air inlet is exposed to exterior of the atomizer, the appearance is not beautiful and the efficiency of assembling is low.
The present disclosure relates essentially to an atomizer with adjustable air inlet quantity and an electronic cigarette having same, in which the air inlet is concealed not to influence the artistic appearance and the design cost is pretty low.
To overcome the above drawbacks, according to embodiments of the present disclosure, an atomizer with adjustable air inlet quantity including: an atomizer body, having a liquid storage chamber formed therein for storing tobacco liquid; an aerosol generator, configured for aerosolizing the tobacco liquid from the liquid storage chamber to generate an aerosol; at least one air inlet, formed on the atomizer body; an air pipe, disposed inside of the atomizer body and configured for conducting the aerosol to flow along the air pipe; the air inlet being in communication with the air pipe; and an adjusting cover, connected with the atomizer body by a thread to cover the air inlet; the adjusting cover is configured for being rotated to move up and down along axial direction of the atomizer body, to adjust a clearance between an edge of the adjusting cover and the atomizer body.
Furthermore, the atomizer body includes an end cover disposed one end thereof and a base connected with the end cover; the adjusting cover is sleeved on the base and connected with the base by a thread.
Furthermore, at least one air inlet are opened on a lateral wall of the base or the end cover, and evenly spaced.
Furthermore, the end cover has a circular stair, the edge of the adjusting cover abuts against the circular stair, when the adjusting cover is moving up and down, between the edge of the adjusting cover and the stair defines a clearance that allows air to flow into the air inlet.
Furthermore, the end cover has a cylindrical surface, between the cylindrical surface and an inside wall of the adjusting cover defines a wedge-shaped air pipe.
Furthermore, the base has a flange, the adjusting cover includes an ancillary component with a L-shaped section, connected with the flange by a thread; the ancillary component includes a limit tongue, confined between a bottom surface of the flange and a top of the end cover.
Furthermore, a top surface of the flange defines a mounting hole, an elastic element is disposed inside the mounting hole, configured for abutting against top of inner surface of the adjusting cover.
An electronic cigarette is further disclosed, including the atomizer with adjustable air inlet quantity and a power supply, the aerosol generator includes a heating element, the power supply is configured for supplying power to the heating element.
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the heating element is a spiral heating wire or a heating tube with several pierced holes opened on a wall of the heating tube.
Compared to the existing technologies known to the inventors, since the atomizer in the present disclosure realizes adjustment of the air inlet quantity by means of an adjusting cover, whereby the structure is simple and the cost of designing is reduced with a simple operation to improve the production efficiency. Since the adjusting cover is engaged with the appearance of the atomizer and conceals the air inlet, the artistic appearance of the electronic cigarette is improved.
Many aspects of the present disclosure can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present disclosure. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts have been exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “outside” refers to a region that is beyond the outermost confines of a physical object. The term “inside” indicates that at least a portion of a region is partially contained within a boundary formed by the object. The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape or other word that substantially modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, substantially cylindrical means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising,” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like.
