The present disclosure relates to the technical field of electronic cigarettes, and in particular, to an electronic cigarette.
Electronic cigarette is an electronic product that simulates tobacco cigarettes. It heats the cigarette liquid in the cartridge through the atomizing head, and atomizes the cigarette liquid to generate smoke. The smoke can be inhaled from the cigarette holder by the user, thereby achieving the purpose of simulating smoking.
At present, the atomizer and the battery module of the electronic cigarette adopt a threaded screw-type structure, assembling and disassembling are time-consuming and laborious; if the thread is not tightened, the atomizer may not work normally; if the thread is too tight, it may be more laborious when disassembling, to affect the user experience.
An object of the present disclosure is to solve the problems in the prior art, and to provide an electronic cigarette with convenient disassembling and assembling.
The technical solution adopted by the present disclosure is as follows:
An electronic cigarette includes a battery module and an atomizing module. The battery module is provided with a battery joint surface. The atomizing module is provided with an atomizing joint surface. The atomizing joint surface is provided with a guide rib, and the battery joint surface is provided with a guide groove, or the atomizing joint surface is provided with a guide groove, and the battery joint surface is provided with a guide rib. The guide rib is fitted in the guide groove so that the battery module and the atomizing module are assembled together.
Further, the battery joint surface and the atomizing joint surface are fixedly connected by a locking mechanism. When the guide rib is fitted into the guide groove and assembled in position, the locking mechanism locks the guide rib in the guide groove.
Further, the locking mechanism includes an indentation disposed on the surface of the guide rib, a ball disposed in the guide groove, and a first elastic member for driving the ball up and down.
Further, the atomizing joint surface is set as a first polarity contact surface of the atomizing module. The battery joint surface is provided with a first polarity contact member and a second elastic member for driving the first polarity contact member up and down. When the guide rib is fitted in the guide groove and assembled in position, the first polarity contact member abuts against the first polarity contact surface to realize electrical connection between the battery module and a first polarity of the atomizing module.
Further, the atomizing joint surface is provided with a second polar member insulated from the first polarity contact surface, and the battery joint surface is provided with a second polarity contact member and a third elastic member for driving the second polarity contact member up and down. When the guide rib is fitted in the guide groove and assembled in position, the second polarity contact member abuts against the second polar member to realize electrical connection between the battery module and a second polarity of the atomizing module.
Further, the ball, the first polarity contact member and the second polarity contact member are arranged on the same straight line.
Further, the first elastic member, the second elastic member and the third elastic member are springs.
Further, the guide rib is provided with transitional slopes at two opposite ends thereof.
Further, the atomizing module includes a main body and an atomizer disposed in the main body. The atomizer is provided with a second polar contact at one end thereof near the atomizing joint surface. The second polar member is disposed in an insulation member. The second polar member and the insulating member are pressed into the main body from the atomizing joint surface to electrically connect the second polar member with the second polar contact.
Further, a mouthpiece is further included, and the mouthpiece is disposed at an upper end of the atomizing module.
The beneficial effects of the present disclosure are:
The guide rib and the guide groove are separately provided on the battery module and the atomizing module, such that the battery module and the atomizing module are assembled together through the cooperation of the guide rib and the guide groove. Such is a detachable connection method, so that the electronic cigarette applying the connection method has the characteristics of convenient disassembling and assembling.

The specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.
Referring to
In the present embodiment, the guide groove 7 is provided with an inlet (not shown) for entering of the guide rib 3, and the inlet is located at a side surface of the battery module 1 or the atomizing module 2. The guide rib 3 can be pushed into the guide groove 7 in a direction parallel or non-parallel to the battery joint surface 12.
When assembling, the battery joint surface 12 of the battery module 1 faces the atomizing joint surface 21 of the atomizing module 2, the front end of the guide rib 3 is aligned with the inlet of the guide groove 7, and the guide rib 3 is pushed into the guide groove 7 along the direction of the guide groove 7, such that the installation is completed. When disassembling, the guide rib 3 is pushed out of the guide groove 7 in the direction opposite to assembling. In order to push the guide rib 3 into the guide groove 7 more easily, a guide opening 71 larger than the width of the guide rib 3 is provided at the inlet of the guide groove 7.
In the present embodiment, as shown in
Therefore, in the electronic cigarette, the guide rib 3 and the guide groove 7 are separately provided on the battery module 1 and the atomizing module 2, such that the battery module 1 and the atomizing module 2 are assembled together through the cooperation of the guide rib 3 and the guide groove 7. Such is a detachable connection method, so the electronic cigarette applying the connection method has the characteristics of convenient disassembling and assembling, and is a plug-in type electronic cigarette.
