The present application relates to the technical field of electronic cigarettes, and in particular to an atomizer and an electronic cigarette thereof.
At present, the electronic cigarette has become a relatively mature substitute for a smoke on the market. It supplies power to the heating wire in the atomization head through a battery, so that the heating wire heats the smoke liquid to generate smog under the electric drive, thereby enabling the user to obtain a smoking experience.
Among the existing atomizers, the liquid inlet and the gas adjusting device are generally separately provided, which renders the atomizer structure complicated. In addition, when the smoke liquid injection is required for the atomizer, the smoke liquid is generally directly injected, and the user often forgets to close the gas inflow channel through the gas adjusting device, thus forgetting that the existence of the pressure difference will cause leakage of the smoke liquid in the atomization head, thereby affecting the user's normal use and experience.
In view of the foregoing, the present application provides an improved atomizer and an electronic cigarette using the same in order to meet market demands.
The technical scheme adopted by the present application is: an atomizer, the atomizer including a switching device, a liquid storage component, and an atomization component. The atomization component is disposed in the liquid storage component, and the switching device is arranged at the upper part of the atomization component and seals the open end of the liquid storage component. The switching device includes a movable piece and a static piece which are cooperatively arranged, and the movable piece can move relative to the static piece to make the atomizer switch between the two states of liquid injection and gas inflow adjustment. The movable piece is provided with a movable piece liquid inlet and a movable piece gas inlet, and the static piece is provided with a static piece liquid inlet and a static piece gas inlet. When the atomizer is in the state of liquid injection, the movable piece liquid inlet and the static piece liquid inlet communicate with each other, and are connected with the liquid storage component fluidly, while the movable piece gas inlet and the static piece gas inlet are staggered to be closed; and when the atomizer is in the state of gas inflow adjustment, the movable piece gas inlet communicates with the static piece gas inlet, and the movable piece liquid inlet and the static piece liquid inlet are staggered to be closed. Rotation of the movable piece can change the communication area of the movable piece gas inlet and the static piece gas inlet.
Further, the movable piece and the static piece are made of ceramic, and the movable piece is in smooth contact with the static piece.
Further, the movable piece and the static piece are connected via a pin, where the movable piece is provided with a pin mounting hole/pin sliding groove, and correspondingly the static piece is provided with a pin sliding groove/pin mounting hole. One end of the pin is fixed in the pin mounting hole, and the other end of the pin can reciprocate along the pin sliding groove.
Further, the switching device further includes an adjusting ring disposed on the periphery of the movable piece, which is connected with the movable piece in a relatively static manner. Rotation of the adjusting ring drives the movable piece to rotate, so as to make the atomizer switch between the state of state of gas inflow adjustment and the state of liquid injection.
Further, the atomizer further includes a connector that connects the switching device and the atomization component, the connector including a concave cavity in which the static piece is fixedly disposed.
Further, the liquid storage component includes a liquid storage chamber; a connector positioning hole is disposed on an inner wall surface of a lower end of the concave cavity; and the concave cavity communicates with the liquid storage chamber through the connector positioning hole.
Further, the connector positioning hole protrudes from the inner wall surface of the lower end of the concave cavity, and the static piece liquid inlet sleeves the periphery of the connector positioning hole.
Further, the movable piece liquid inlet is disposed on the side wall of the movable piece, and the side wall of the connector is provided with a connector liquid inlet. When the atomizer is in the state of liquid injection, the connector liquid inlet, the movable piece liquid inlet, the static piece liquid inlet and the connector positioning hole communicate, and the movable piece gas inlet and the static piece gas inlet are staggered to be closed.
Further, the atomization component includes an atomization head, a vent pipe, and an atomization sleeve. The atomization head is sleeved in the atomization sleeve; the upper end of the atomization head is fixedly connected with the lower end of the vent pipe. When the atomizer is in the state of gas inflow adjustment, the movable piece liquid inlet and the static piece liquid inlet are staggered to be closed. The external gas enters the gap between the atomization sleeve and the atomization head via the gap between the adjusting ring and the connector, movable piece gas inlet, the static piece gas inlet and the concave cavity of the connector, then finally enters the atomization head via the gas flow inlet disposed on the atomization head, carries the atomized smoke liquid and flows out from the vent pipe.
Further, the liquid storage component further includes an outer sleeve and a bottom component. The bottom component is connected to a lower end of the outer sleeve, and includes a lower cover, a silicone sealing ring and an electrode connection component, where the silicone sealing ring is disposed on the upper end of the lower cover so that the lower cover is in interference connection with the outer sleeve, and the electrode connection component is disposed at the lower end of the lower cover to electrically connect the atomization component with the power supply.
Further, the connector is disposed at an upper end of the outer sleeve, and a sealing device is disposed between the connector and the outer sleeve.
Further, a smoke liquid groove is disposed on a surface of the upper end of the lower cover, and the liquid storage chamber and the atomization component communicate with each other.
Further, the atomization component includes an atomization head, a vent pipe, and an atomization sleeve, where the atomization head is sleeved in the atomization sleeve; the upper end of the atomization head is fixedly connected with the lower end of the vent pipe; and the lower end of the atomization head is electrically connected with the electrode connection component.
Further, the vent pipe traverses the connector, the static piece and the movable piece, and is fixedly connected with a lower end of a cigarette holder connector, while a smoke gas channel of the atomization head and a smoke outlet of the cigarette holder connector communicate via the vent pipe.
Further, a gas flow inlet is disposed on a side wall of the atomization head. When the atomizer is in the state of gas inflow adjustment, the movable piece gas inlet and the static piece gas inlet communicate with the gas flow inlet, and the connector liquid inlet and the movable piece liquid inlet are staggered to be closed.
The present application provides an electronic cigarette, where the electronic cigarette includes any one of the above atomizers.
Compared to the prior art, the atomizer according to the present application includes a switching device, a liquid storage component, and an atomization component. The atomization component is disposed in the liquid storage component. The switching device includes a movable piece and a static piece that are cooperatively arranged. The movable piece can move relative to the static piece to make the atomizer switch between the two states of liquid injection and gas inflow adjustment. The movable piece and the static piece are each provided with a liquid inlet and a gas inlet, where the liquid inlets communicate with each other correspondingly in the state of liquid injection, and the gas inlets communicate with each other correspondingly in the state of gas inflow adjustment. In addition, when the atomizer is in the state of liquid injection, the gas inlets are closed to avoid a possible leakage of smoke liquid from the atomization head during liquid injection due to a pressure difference when the gas inlets communicate.
