The present disclosure claims the priority of the Chinese Patent Application No. 201821567201.X, entitled “An Electronic Cigarette Atomizer and Electronic Cigarette”, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on Sep. 25, 2018, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The disclosure relates to the technical field of electronic cigarettes, and in particular to an electronic cigarette atomizer and an electronic cigarette.
With the development of the society, people are paying more and more attention to their own health, the number of people who smoke is gradually decreasing, and as a substitute for cigarette, electronic cigarette has been rapidly popularized in the market; and as a major component of the electronic cigarette, an atomization core is used to atomize cigarette oil and for the atomized cigarette oil to mix with gas.
However, the atomization assembly in the electronic cigarette atomizer on the market today comprises an electric heating wire and an oil guiding cotton swab, the electric heating wire is wound around the oil guiding cotton swab, the cigarette oil is guided from two ends of the oil guiding cotton swab toward the middle of the electric heating wire, and the electric heating wire is powered on and heated to atomize the cigarette oil.
The electric heating wire has the highest temperature at the middle position when heated, the cigarette oil is supplied from two ends of the oil guiding cotton swab toward the middle, the oil content at two ends of the oil guiding cotton swab is greater than that in the middle, and the oil content in the middle of the oil guiding cotton swab is minimum, and if the oil content in the middle of the oil guiding cotton swab lacks, the scorching phenomenon will occur; and if oil content at two ends of the oil guiding cotton swab exceeds, there will be oil leakage.
If the oil content at two ends of the oil guiding cotton swab meets “no oil leakage” and reaches an equilibrating oil quantity, the oil content in the middle of the oil guiding cotton swab will be less than the equilibrating oil quantity. Moreover, the amount of heat generated at the middle position of the electric heating wire is maximum, which easily leads to scorching of the cotton or the cigarette oil, and thus poor taste.
If the oil content in the middle of the oil guiding cotton swab meets “no scorching” and “no oil leakage”, and reaches the equilibrating oil quantity, the oil content at two ends of the oil guiding cotton swab will be greater than the equilibrating oil quantity, increasing the risk of oil leakage.
In summary, the electronic cigarette atomizer on the market today involves a problem that oil is supplied from two ends of the oil guiding cotton swab toward the middle of the oil guiding cotton swab, resulting in unbalanced distributions of the oil content of the oil guiding cotton swab, thus resulting in unbalanced speed of supplying oil to the electric heating wire, where the unbalanced oil supply also causes unbalanced surface heating temperature of the electric heating wire, eventually leading to the issue of poor taste of the atomized cigarette oil.
Specifically, the disclosure proposes the following specific implementations:
