The entire contents of these applications are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention belongs to the technical field of electronic cigarettes, and particularly relates to an ultrasonic atomization type electronic cigarette.
The existing ultrasonic atomization type electronic cigarette includes an ultrasonic atomizer and a battery assembly provides power supply for it, and has the following disadvantages:
First, the ultrasonic atomization sheet in the ultrasonic atomizer is perpendicular or parallel to the length direction of the electronic cigarette, so that the ultrasonic atomization sheet in the atomizer easily immerses in the cigarette liquid during use or storage, resulting in slow smoke emission, little smoke, even the phenomenon of sucking cigarette liquid occurred, user experience is poor.
Second, the ultrasonic atomizer and the battery assembly are directly used in combination, the atomizer is entirely exposed, and the user holds the outer wall of the atomizer in hand during smoking. High temperature is generated by the cavitation effect when the ultrasonic atomization sheet operates, which causes the atomizer to be hot to burn the user's hand. At the same time, when the atomizer leaks cigarette liquid, the hand is prone to touching the liquid. In addition, the atomizer is entirely exposed, therefore it is easily damaged, and the use cost is high.
Third, a key switch on a key switch board for controlling the operation of the electronic cigarette is usually small, and the user can only press the key switch with one finger to start the electronic cigarette. If the small key switch is pressed frequently, the finger is prone to pain, the difficulty in pressing is increased, the operation reliability is low, and the user experience is poor.
Fourth, a liquid guide body for the ultrasonic atomizer in the existing ultrasonic atomization type electronic cigarette only includes a single liquid guide layer, and the single-layer liquid guide body attached to an atomization surface of the ultrasonic atomization sheet is easily shattered by long-time high-frequency oscillation of the ultrasonic atomization sheet, those shatters are easily sucked by users, therefore bring damage to user's body, and the mouthfeel of smoke is poor. In addition, due to the shattered liquid guide body, the cigarette liquid is not smoothly guided, and the cigarette liquid guide speed is slowed down, so that the atomization effect of the ultrasonic atomization sheet is affected, smoke volume is small and the mouthfeel of smoke is poor.
In the existing ultrasonic atomization type electronic cigarette, an ultrasonic atomization sheet is perpendicular or parallel to the length direction of the electronic cigarette and is prone to immersion in cigarette liquid, so that a user easily sucks the cigarette liquid; the atomizer is entirely exposed, therefore it is easily damaged, and the user's hand is easily scalded and easily touches the cigarette liquid. The key switch is small and inconvenient to press, so the user experience is poor. A liquid guide body for the ultrasonic atomizer includes only a single liquid guide layer and it is easily be shattered, So shatters of the liquid guide body are easily sucked by users, The cigarette liquid is not smoothly guided, and the cigarette liquid guide speed is slowed down. The present invention is directed to provide an ultrasonic atomization type electronic cigarette against the above deficiencies of the prior art. The ultrasonic atomization sheet in the atomizer is obliquely arranged in the electronic cigarette housing, and thus is unlikely to immerse in cigarette liquid when being used or stored; the atomizer is arranged inside and the outer side wall of the atomizer is not in direct contact with the electronic cigarette housing, and the temperature of the electronic cigarette housing is low, so scalding the user's hand or touching the cigarette liquid is unlikely to occur, the atomizer is unlikely to be damaged, the use cost is low, and the electronic cigarette is clean and sanitary; the key switch is convenient to operate, so the user experience is good; the user hardly sucks shatters of liquid guide body, and the cigarette liquid is guided smoothly.
In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
An ultrasonic atomization type electronic cigarette includes an ultrasonic atomizer, the ultrasonic atomizer including an ultrasonic atomization sheet, wherein the angle between the ultrasonic atomization sheet and the central axis of the electronic cigarette is α, and the value of α is 5° to 85°, preferably 15° to 55°.
With the above structure, the ultrasonic atomization sheet is not immersed in cigarette liquid either when the electronic cigarette is used or stored, so smoke is emitted fast, the smoke volume is large, and the user hardly sucks the cigarette liquid.
Further, the ultrasonic atomization type electronic cigarette includes an electronic cigarette housing and a nozzle connected to the electronic cigarette housing, wherein the electronic cigarette housing is provided with an air inlet groove, a first support is arranged in the electronic cigarette housing, a receiving cavity for receiving the ultrasonic atomizer is formed in the first support, and the angle between the central axis of the receiving cavity and the central axis of the electronic cigarette is α; and the air inlet groove, an atomization surface of the ultrasonic atomization sheet, and the nozzle are connected in sequence.
With the above structure, after the ultrasonic atomizer is assembled inside the electronic cigarette housing, since the receiving cavity of the first support has an inclination angle α, the ultrasonic atomizer also has an inclination angle α inside the electronic cigarette housing, and the ultrasonic atomization sheet also has an inclination angle α inside the electronic cigarette housing. Since the ultrasonic atomizer is assembled inside the electronic cigarette housing, the user does not directly hold the atomizer housing when in use, scalding the hand or touching the cigarette liquid is unlikely to occur, and the ultrasonic atomizer is unlikely to be damaged.
Further, a cavity is formed between the outer side wall of the first support and the inner side wall of the electronic cigarette housing, and the air inlet groove, the cavity, an air groove on the inner side wall of the receiving cavity, the atomization surface of the ultrasonic atomization sheet, and the nozzle are connected in sequence.
With the above structure, air enters the cavity inside the electronic cigarette housing from the air inlet groove, then enters the ultrasonic atomizer through the air groove on the receiving cavity, takes away the smoke generated by the ultrasonic atomization sheet, and enters the user's mouth through the nozzle. Since the ultrasonic atomizer is not in direct contact with the electronic cigarette housing, the hand can be further prevented from being scalded, and the air can also take away part of heat.

After the rotating buckle locks the flip cover, the torque of the second torsion spring can press the flip cover to ensure the locking reliability.
As a preferred manner, one end of the decorative block is pivotally connected to the first support through a third rotating shaft.
The decorative block is fixed on the first support by the third rotating shaft, so that the decorative block can be properly held and pressed, and supported by enough force without shaking. The top of the decorative block has a longer holding and pressing stroke, and the bottom has a shorter holding and pressing stroke, that is, the holding and pressing stroke is gradually increased from the bottom to the top.
Further, the electronic cigarette housing further includes a transparent block opposite to a central through region of the decorative block, the inner side wall of the transparent block fits the outer side wall of the decorative block, and the transparent block is buckled with the first support.
