FIGS. 1-14 show an electronic cigarette according to embodiments of the present invention.


The electronic cigarette includes a main body of electronic cigarette 1, and liquid storage chambers 2 for storing tobacco liquid. The main body of electronic cigarette 1 is provided with installation cavities 123, and the liquid storage chambers 2 are at least partially placed inside the installation cavities 123. The liquid storage chambers 2 are provided with a liquid outlet hole 22 for discharging tobacco liquid. The main body of electronic cigarette 1 is equipped with a liquid passing chamber 19 and at least one atomizing core 130. A liquid passing cavity 170 is arranged inside the liquid passing chamber 19, and the liquid passing cavity 170 is in communication with an interior of the atomizing core 130. The liquid passing cavity 170 is positioned on an outer side of the atomizing core 130. After the liquid storage chambers 2 are assembled to the installation cavities 123, the liquid outlet hole 22 is in communication with the liquid passing cavity 170.


In this embodiment, by arranging the installation cavities 123 on the main body of electronic cigarette 1 to facilitate the installation of the liquid storage chambers 2, a capacity of tobacco liquid of the electronic cigarette is increased, a total number of puffs for users is increased, and a service life of the electronic cigarette is improved. Moreover, by configuring the liquid passing cavity 170 between the liquid storage chambers 2 and the atomizing core 130, the tobacco liquid flowing out of the liquid outlet hole 22 from the liquid storage chambers 2 is added to the atomizing core 130 through the liquid passing cavity 170, thereby solving the problem that a liquid tank of the electrical cigarette in the prior art is difficult to configure due to a small volume of the atomizing core 130, and facilitating the production of the electronic cigarette.


In one embodiment, the liquid storage chambers 2 can be inserted upside down into the installation cavities 123 from top to bottom. That is, when the users puff, the tobacco liquid in the liquid storage chambers 2 will flow downwards from the liquid outlet hole 22 and then automatically enter the atomizing core 130 for use by the atomizing core 130. In other embodiments, the liquid storage chambers 2 can also be inserted into the installation cavities 123 from below the main body of electronic cigarette 1 from bottom to top to achieve installation. That is, to allow the tobacco liquid inside the liquid storage chambers 2 to enter the atomizing core 130, the electronic cigarette needs to be inverted. Of course, in other embodiments, the liquid storage chambers 2 can also be positioned on a left side, a right side, a front end, a rear end of the atomizing core 130, or can be slantways inserted into the installation cavities 123, etc. That is, the installation cavities 123 can be positioned next to or below the atomizing core 130, etc. Here, a method of installing the liquid storage chambers 2 into the installation cavities 123 is not limited, and a positional relationship between the installation cavities 123 and the atomizing core 130 is not limited.


In one embodiment, at the time of leaving the factory, the liquid outlet hole 22 can be sealed with a cover or a layer of film to prevent the leakage of tobacco liquid.


In one embodiment, a joint structure is provided between the liquid passing chamber 19 and the liquid storage chambers 2. The joint structure includes a first insertion hole 183 and an insertion end 21 adapted for use with the first insertion hole 183. The insertion end 21 is provided with a first channel, and the first channel runs through the insertion end 21. After the liquid storage chambers 2 are assembled into the installation cavities 123, the insertion end 21 is at least partially placed inside the first insertion hole 183. Two ends of the first channel are respectively in communication with the liquid outlet hole 22 and the liquid passing cavity 170. By inserting the insertion end 21 into the first insertion hole 183, the tobacco liquid from the liquid storage chambers 2 can easily flow into the liquid passing cavity 170.


In one embodiment, the insertion end 21 is arranged on the liquid storage chambers 2, that is, the liquid outlet hole 22 is the first channel. The first insertion hole 183 is defined in the liquid passing chamber 19, and first sealing rings 23 are arranged between the insertion end 21 and the liquid passing chamber 19. By using the first sealing rings 23, liquid leakage can be prevented. In other embodiments, the insertion end 21 can also be provided on the liquid passing chamber 19, and the first insertion hole 183 can also be provided on the liquid storage chambers 2.


In one embodiment, a side projection of the first sealing rings 23 is in a shape of “I” in upper case. When the insertion end 21 is placed inside the first insertion hole 183, the first sealing rings 23 can be prevented from falling off from the first insertion hole 183. An inner side wall of the first sealing rings 23 is equipped with a first sealing protrusion 231 for abutting against an outer side wall of the insertion end 21. By utilizing the first sealing protrusion 231, when the insertion end 21 is placed inside the first insertion hole 183, the first sealing protrusion 231 can abut against the outer side wall of the insertion end 21 to provide a sealing effect.


In one embodiment, the atomizing core 130 includes: an annular housing body 13, a middle housing 131a provided within the annular housing body 13, liquid absorbing cotton 131 provided within the middle housing 131a, and a heating wire 132 provided at a bottom of the liquid absorbing cotton 131. The annular housing body 13 and the middle housing 131a are provided with a liquid passing hole 134, and the liquid passing hole 134 is in communication with the liquid passing cavity 170. By using the liquid absorbing cotton 131 to adsorb the tobacco liquid, when the liquid storage chambers 2 are not installed, the tobacco liquid in the atomizing core 130 can be prevented from leaking out of the atomizing core 130. Moreover, under the tobacco liquid's own gravity, the tobacco liquid will converge towards the bottom of the liquid absorbing cotton 131, so that when the heating wire 132 heats up, the tobacco liquid can be atomized.


In one embodiment, the annular housing body 13 is at least partially placed inside the liquid passing cavity 170, and the liquid passing hole 134 is defined at a position corresponding to the liquid passing cavity 170. A second sealing ring 172 is arranged between the annular housing body 13 and the liquid passing chamber 19. In this way, a structure of the electronic cigarette in this embodiment can be compact, and a volume of the electronic cigarette can be effectively reduced.


In one embodiment, the liquid absorbing cotton 131 is in an annular shape, and the heating wire 132 is positioned on a central axis of the liquid absorbing cotton 131, so that when the electronic cigarette heats up, the heating wire 132 heats up and atomizes the tobacco liquid to form aerosol, and the aerosol can be discharged.


In actual use, a capacity of the liquid absorbing cotton 131 to absorb tobacco liquid and a capacity of the liquid storage chambers 2 to store tobacco liquid can be customized by the manufacturers. For example, when the electronic cigarette in this embodiment leaves the factory, the liquid absorbing cotton 131 can adsorb 2 ml of tobacco liquid, and each of the liquid storage chambers 2 can store 10 ml of tobacco liquid. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the liquid absorbing cotton 131 can adsorb 1.8 ml of tobacco liquid, and each of the liquid storage chambers 2 can store 15 ml of tobacco liquid, etc.


In one embodiment, the liquid passing chamber 19 includes a first top housing 17 and a first outer housing 18.
