BACKGROUND

This disclosure relates to an electronic cigarette.

Electronic cigarettes atomize e-liquid and generate nicotine-containing vapor.

Conventionally, the atomizing assembly fixedly communicates with the e-liquid storage tank. This increases the risk of leakage of the e-liquid.

SUMMARY

The disclosure provides an electronic cigarette comprising an atomizing assembly and an e-liquid storage tank. When the electronic cigarette is not in use, the atomizing assembly is separated from the e-liquid storage tank.

Provided is an electronic cigarette, comprising an atomizing assembly; and a battery assembly. The atomizing assembly is disposed on the battery assembly.

The atomizing assembly comprises a mouthpiece, a plug, an e-liquid storage tank, an atomizing core, a seal ring adapting to seal the atomizing core, and a first fixed seat adapting to fix the atomizing core. The atomizing core comprises a first end and a second end. The seal ring is disposed on the first end of the atomizing core, and the first fixed seat sleeves the second end of the atomizing core. The e-liquid storage tank comprises a cavity, and the seal ring, the atomizing core, and the first fixed seat are disposed in the cavity of the e-liquid storage tank. The plug is disposed on the e-liquid storage tank, and the mouthpiece is connected to the e-liquid storage tank.

The battery assembly comprises a support, a first gasket adapting to sealing the support, a button board, a second gasket adapting to sealing the button board, a housing, a light guide, a second fixed seat adapting to fixing the light guide, a keypad, a silicone sleeve, a battery cell, a charging board, a first fixing bolt adapting to fix the charging board, a base, and a second fixing bolt adapting to fix the base. The support comprises a top end and a side wall disposed on the top end. The first gasket and the second gasket are disposed outside and inside the side wall of the support, respectively. The button board comprises a button and the silicone sleeve sleeves the button. The charging board is connected to the battery cell, and the charging board and the battery cell are welded to the button board. The button board is disposed on the support. The charging board is riveted on the support via the first fixing bolt. The keypad is fixed on the support. The light guide is disposed on the second fixed seat. The second fixed seat is disposed in the housing. The base is mounted on a bottom end of the support, and the support is disposed in the housing; and the base is riveted on a bottom end of the housing via the second fixing bolt.

Advantages of the electronic cigarette according to embodiments of the disclosure are summarized as follows. When not in use, the e-liquid inlet of the atomizing core is completely sealed in the first fixed seat and is separated from the e-liquid storage tank. Thus, the e-liquid cannot enter the atomizing core. When in use, the atomizing assembly is mounted on the battery assembly, under the action of external force, the support pushes the atomizing core to move towards the mouthpiece, so that the e-liquid inlet of the atomizing core is exposed and communicates with the e-liquid storage tank. Thus, the e-liquid flows into the atomizing core via the inlet. The atomizing assembly is clamped in and combined with the housing 9 of the battery assembly to form the electronic cigarette. Thus, the electronic cigarette has a relatively small size, is lightweight, easy to assemble and carry. The atomizing assembly can be replaced easily.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

To further illustrate, embodiments detailing an electronic cigarette are described below. It should be noted that the following embodiments are intended to describe and not to limit the disclosure.

As shown in FIGS. 1-5, an electronic cigarette comprises an atomizing assembly A and a battery assembly B. The atomizing assembly A is disposed on the battery assembly B. The atomizing assembly A comprises a mouthpiece 1, a plug 2, an e-liquid storage tank 3, an atomizing core 5, a seal ring 4 adapting to seal the atomizing core 5, and a first fixed seat 6 adapting to fix the atomizing core 5. The atomizing core 5 comprises a first end and a second end. The seal ring 4 is disposed on the first end of the atomizing core 5, and the first fixed seat 6 sleeves the second end of the atomizing core 5. The e-liquid storage tank 3 comprises a cavity, and the seal ring 4, the atomizing core 5, and the first fixed seat 6 are disposed in the cavity of the e-liquid storage tank 3. The plug 2 is disposed on the e-liquid storage tank 3. Thus, the two ends of the e-liquid storage tank 3 are tightly sealed. The mouthpiece 1 is connected to the e-liquid storage tank 3.

The battery assembly B comprises a support 12, a first gasket 7 adapting to sealing the support 12, a button board 15, a second gasket 8 adapting to sealing the button board 15, a housing 9, a light guide 11, a second fixed seat 10 adapting to fixing the light guide 11, a keypad 13, a silicone sleeve 14, a battery cell 16, a charging board 18, a first fixing bolt 17 adapting to fix the charging board 18, a base 20, and a second fixing bolt 19 adapting to fix the base 20. The support 12 comprises a top end and a side wall disposed on the top end. The first gasket 7 and the second gasket 8 are disposed outside and inside the side wall of the support 12, respectively, thus achieving the effect of isolation and insulation. The button board 15 comprises a button and the silicone sleeve 14 sleeves the button. The charging board 18 is connected to the battery cell 16, and the charging board 18 and the battery cell 16 are welded to the button board 15. The button board 15 is disposed on the support 12. The charging board 18 is riveted on the support 12 via the first fixing bolt 17. The keypad 13 is fixed on the support 12. The light guide 11 is disposed on the second fixed seat 10. The second fixed seat 10 is disposed in the housing 9. The base 20 is mounted on a bottom end of the support 12, and the support 12 is disposed in the housing 9; and the base 20 is riveted on a bottom end of the housing 9 via the second fixing bolt 19.

Before the atomizing assembly is mounted on the battery assembly, the e-liquid inlet of the atomizing core 5 is completely sealed in the first fixed seat 6 and is separated from the e-liquid storage tank 3. Thus, the e-liquid cannot enter the atomizing core 5. When the atomizing assembly is mounted on the battery assembly, under the action of external force, the support 12 pushes the atomizing core 5 to move upwards (towards the mouthpiece), so that the e-liquid inlet of the atomizing core 5 is exposed and communicates with the e-liquid storage tank 3. Thus, the e-liquid flows into the atomizing core 5 via the inlet. The atomizing assembly is clamped in and combined with the housing 9 of the battery assembly to form the electronic cigarette. Thus, the electronic cigarette has a relatively small size, is lightweight, easy to assemble and carry. The atomizing assembly can be replaced easily.

It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications.
