This application is based upon and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. CN201810386113.8, filed on Apr. 26, 2018, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention belongs to the technical field of electronic cigarette smoking paraphernalia, and in particular relates to a modular multifunctional electronic smoking paraphernalia.
With an increase in health awareness, smokers are gradually noticing that traditional cigarettes are detrimental to their health, which facilitates the development of smoking cessation or alternative tobacco products like the electronic cigarette, the low-temperature baking-type smoking paraphernalia, etc. For the electronic cigarette, the medium capable of generating the smoke such as the e-juice, the paste, etc. is heated by using the heating component to generate smoke, so as to satisfy the visual experience as though the smoker is smoking the traditional cigarette. The excitant substances like nicotine, etc. can be added in the medium, but the taste of the electronic cigarette is greatly different from that of the traditional cigarette, thus causing the actual effect of the electronic cigarette to be unsatisfactory. For the low-temperature baking-type smoking paraphernalia, the specially-made cigarette is heated by using the heating component to release the nicotine and other substances contained in the cigarette, so as to satisfy the smoker. Due to the relatively low heating temperature, the smoke generated by the cigarette is less than that of a traditional cigarette, and the smoker's visual experience is not well satisfied. Therefore, the low-temperature baking-type smoking paraphernalia are also not popular among smokers.
At present, the development of the electronic atomization technique has been already mature. The Chinese Patent Application No. 201080016105.6 disclosed an electronic atomization device, including a power supply device, a sensor, an atomization core assembly, a liquid storage component, and a containing housing. Specifically, the containing housing is provided with an auxiliary air inlet; the atomization core assembly includes an electrically heating member and a liquid permeating member; after the sensor receives the signal, the atomization core assembly starts to work accordingly, namely atomizing the e-juice capable of generating the smoke. Nonetheless, the taste of the smoke generated by the electronic atomization device is other than that of the traditional cigarette. The low-temperature baking technique is also well-known. For example, the Chinese Patent Application No. 201611005132.9 disclosed a non-burning smoking paraphernalia during heating, including a base, an electrode, an insulation sleeve, an insulation holder, a tubular heating component, an upper cover, a sleeve, etc. The non-burning smoking paraphernalia can heat the tobacco section in the circumferential direction, but there is the same problem where the volume of smoke is less when heating the non-burning products.
The electronic atomization devices available on the market are mostly controlled to start by using the air flow sensor or the air pressure sensor. For example, the Chinese Patent Application No. 201080016105.6 disclosed an electronic atomization device, including a power supply device, a sensor, an atomization core assembly, a liquid storage component, and a containing housing. Specifically, the containing housing is provided with an auxiliary air inlet; the atomization core assembly includes an electrically heating member and a liquid permeating member; the electrically heating member is provided with a through hole; the liquid storage component is provided with a channel; the sensor is interconnected to the through hole and the channel, and forms an air flow circulation with the auxiliary air inlet. However, the airflow channel of the sensor in the device is coincident with the airflow channel of the smoke, so that the air flow in the two airflow channels is distributed unevenly, which causes the unstable smoking function. Moreover, when the airflow channel of the sensor is coincident with the airflow channel of the smoke, the condensation liquid generated by the atomizer during use may affect the sensor or even cause the sensor to malfunction.
Currently, there is no product which can well combine the electronic atomization technique with low-temperature baking technique available on the market. Besides, some of the electronic atomization devices available on the market need a repeat e-juice injection, which is inconvenient to operate, and not clean and sanitary.
The objective of the present invention is to provide a smoking paraphernalia with double airflow channels, which effectively solves the problems such as the terrible smoking experience of the electronic cigarette and the low-temperature baking cigarette, the unstable smoking due to the coincidence of the sensor airflow path and the smoke airflow channel, and the damage to the sensor caused by the condensation liquid produced by the atomizer.

Namely, the atomizer atomizes the e-juice. The air enters the smoking paraphernalia from the opening at the bottom of the atomizer, and reaches the heating component inside the atomizer. The e-juice, heated and atomized by the heating component, is carried into the cigarette holder, and is mixed with the smoke generated after the heating component heats the cigarette. Finally, the mixed smoke is sucked by the smoker.
