1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to an electronic cigarette.
2. Description of the Related Art
It is well-known that smoking is harmful to health, but there are still hundreds of millions of smokers in the world, and the trend is continuing. To purify the environment, prohibition of smoking in public places has become the consensus. Thus, cigarette substitutes, such as patches for quitting smoking, nicotine mouthwash, nicotine gum, nicotine drink, flourish in the market. Although the cigarette substitutes are a step in the right direction as they do not deliver tar, nicotine is only slowly absorbed in the blood and thus the achieved effective peak concentration of nicotine is relatively low, and the feeling of satisfaction resulting from a high concentration of tobacco alkali is not achieved. Meanwhile, users consuming cigarette substitutes are deprived of smoking actions such as inhaling, exhaling, and puffing.
In view of the above-described problems, it is one objective of the invention to provide an electronic cigarette that is convenient for use and causes no pollution. When using the electronic cigarette, an enjoyable experience resulting from the smoking actions such as inhaling, exhaling, and puffing can be achieved, and the gas flow of the inhaling and exhaling is adjustable.
To achieve the above objective, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, there is provided an electronic cigarette, comprising a cigarette holder assembly, an atomization assembly, a glass container for accommodating smoke oil, and a gas flow regulator. The cigarette holder assembly comprises a mouthpiece, a first sealing ring, a seat for supporting the mouthpiece, a fixed screw, and a pole. The atomization assembly comprises a pair of heating wires, a glass casing, a second sealing ring, a third sealing ring, oil-guiding cotton, a limit cover, an insulating ring, and a fixed ring. The glass container comprises a first sealing gasket and a second sealing gasket which are respectively disposed at both ends of the glass container. The gas flow regulator comprises a control ring, a steel ball, a spring, and a rotary button.
The first sealing ring of the cigarette holder assembly is sleeved on the mouthpiece, and the mouthpiece is fixed on the seat via the fixed screw. The first sealing gasket is fixed between the seat and the fixed screw. The pole is disposed at a lower part of the mouthpiece and fixed by a screw. The second sealing ring is disposed at one end of the pole for sealing the heating wires. The glass container for accommodating smoke oil is disposed at a lower part of the cigarette holder assembly. The heating wires are inserted in the glass casing and fixed by the limit cover and the fixed ring. The oil-guiding cotton is disposed in the glass casing, and the insulating ring is connected to the fixed ring; the gas flow regulator is disposed at a lower part of the atomization assembly.
In a class of this embodiment, the mouthpiece is made of metal material.
In a class of this embodiment, the atomization assembly comprises a threaded copper ring and a joint.
Advantages of the invention are summarized as follows:
The invention is described hereinbelow with reference to accompanying drawings, in which:
As shown in
The first sealing ring of the cigarette holder assembly is sleeved on the mouthpiece, and the mouthpiece is fixed on the seat via the fixed screw. The first sealing gasket is fixed between the seat and the fixed screw. The pole is disposed at a lower part of the mouthpiece and fixed by a screw 7. The second sealing ring is disposed at one end of the pole for sealing the heating wires. The glass container for accommodating smoke oil is disposed at a lower part of the cigarette holder assembly. The heating wires are inserted in the glass casing and fixed by the limit cover and the fixed ring. The oil-guiding cotton is disposed in the glass casing, and the insulating ring is connected to the fixed ring. The gas flow regulator is disposed at a lower part of the atomization assembly for controlling the gas flow.
Preferably, the mouthpiece is made of metal material.
Furthermore, the atomization assembly comprises a joint 18. The rotary button 22 is disposed at the bottom of the glass casing 15. A cover 25 for receiving leaked oil, a threaded copper ring 23, and an insulating joint 24 are disposed at the lower part of the glass casing 15.
The electronic cigarette is assembled according to the following steps:
1. The atomization assembly and the gas flow regulator disposed at the bottom of the heating wires are fixed by screws and sealing gaskets.
2. The cigarette holder assembly and the glass container are fixed by screws.
3. The glass container is filled with smoke oil to a desired scale mark.
4. The heating wires are assembled and fixed on the atomization assembly, and the atomization assembly is connected to the cigarette holder assembly.
5. The mouthpiece of the cigarette holder assembly is inserted into the seat and fixed on the glass container.
6. The heating wires are connected to power supply for use.
While particular embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from the invention in its broader aspects, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
