Patent Application

The present invention relates to an atomizing head, an atomizer and an electronic cigarette using same.
A refillable atomizer includes an atomizing head for generating aerosol from tobacco liquid. In a typical refillable atomizer, the atomizing head is fixedly arranged in the atomizer, and is not removable. When the atomizing head is broken, the whole atomizer cannot be used. Accordingly, the cost of smoking is high, and the refillable atomizer is not environmental-friendly.
What are needed, therefore, are an atomizing head, an atomizer and an electronic cigarette using same, which can overcome the above shortcomings.
An exemplary atomizing head includes a main body, an air inlet, an exit pipe, two connecting electrode, a liquid conducting element, and a heating element. The main body defines an atomizing chamber and a through hole. The through hole communicates with the atomizing chamber such that tobacco liquid can flow into the atomizing chamber. The liquid conducting element is configured for absorbing tobacco liquid. The liquid conducting element defines at least one air passage. The heating element is in contact with the liquid conducting element. The heating element is configured for heating the tobacco liquid to form aerosol. The aerosol is expelled via the at least one air passage. Two opposite ends of the heating element are connected to the two connecting electrodes.
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.

In the present embodiment, the exit pipe 110 includes an air outlet 111, the air inlet 131 is defined in the first connecting electrode 130, and the second connecting electrode 124 and the main body 120 are integrally formed. The main body 120 includes a plurality of external screws 122, via which the atomizing head 100 is detachably engaged in the atomizer. The atomizing head 100 is further provided with a sealing ring 150 nesting the exit pipe 110.

In the present embodiment, the liquid conducting element 170 defines a plurality of air passages 172, the air from the air inlet 131 flows through the air passage 172, and then flows out from the exit pipe 110. The tobacco liquid flowed into the atomizing chamber is only stored in one of the two areas, and will not flow out through the air passage 172. Therefore, the liquid conducting element 170 can prevent liquid leakage.
In other embodiments, a total number of the air passages may be one or two. In an alternative embodiment, an exterior surface of the liquid conducting element 170 is in contact with an interior surface of the atomizing chamber 123.

It is understood that the above-described embodiments are intended to illustrate rather than limit the disclosure. Variations may be made to the embodiments and methods without departing from the spirit of the disclosure. Accordingly, it is appropriate that the appended claims be construed broadly and in a manner consistent with the scope of the disclosure.
