The specific structure is as follows: as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the invention comprises an electronic cigarette main body 1; the electronic cigarette main body 1 is installed with an electronic liquid cartridge 9, and the cartridge 9 generates smoke oil atomization smoke; the cartridge 9 has a heating function and can be installed with e-liquids of different flavors; the e-liquid is heated through the heating function of the cartridge 9, thereby producing different flavors of smoke. The above is the working mode of the traditional electronic cigarette cartridge 9, which is used to generate atomized smoke of e-liquid;


In order to achieve smoking, the embodiment also comprises a cigarette holder 3, which is installed on the electronic cigarette main body 1, and the upper end thereof is provided with a suction port 4; the cigarette holder 3 at the far end of the suction port 4 is provided with a tobacco insertion port 5, and the tobacco insertion port 5 is used to insert the cigarette tobacco 6;


When the mixed smoke needs to be smoked, the cigarette tobacco 6 is lighted by an open flame through the lighting device to generate tobacco combustion smoke, and the smoke oil is heated at the same time. The mixed smoke is generated and then sucked through the suction port 4. When inserting the cigarette tobacco 6, the user can use a lighting device, such as a lighter, to light and generate a flame, and the flame will light the cigarette tobacco 6. As shown in FIG. 1, if one end of the lighted cigarette tobacco 6 has negative pressure suction, the smoking action on some of the cigarette tobacco 6 can be completed. Therefore, in this embodiment, after one end of the cigarette tobacco 6 is inserted into the tobacco insertion port 5, a reset suction force is generated in the tobacco insertion port 5, and the smoking action of the cigarette tobacco 6 can be completed. The combustion smoke produced by the cigarette tobacco 6 will be drawn into the cigarette holder 3. If the cartridge 9 is opened at this time, the e-liquid atomization smoke generated by heating the e-liquid can be mixed with the tobacco combustion smoke in the cigarette holder 3 to achieve the purpose of mixing the combustion smoke and the electronic cigarette oil smoke. After mixing, inhale the smoke through the suction port 4, which can balance the two smoking methods and enrich the taste.


If the user wants to use the electronic cigarette alone, the electronic cigarette main body 1 is provided with a sealing plug 8 through a connector. When the user smokes the electronic cigarette, the tobacco insertion port 5 is sealed by the sealing plug 8; at this time, the atomized smoke is drawn from the suction port 4. After the tobacco insertion port 5 is sealed, the tobacco insertion port 5 can be blocked; at this time, there is only one smoke outlet 11, that is, the position of the suction port 4 is the smoke outlet 11; at this time, the cartridge 9 is used to heat the e-cigarette liquid, which can realize the independent puffing action of electronic cigarette.


As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the cigarette tobacco 6 is inserted into the tobacco insertion port 5, a “Y”-shaped structure is formed by the electronic cigarette main body 1, the cigarette holder 3 and the cigarette tobacco 6. When inhaling, put the suction port 4 into the mouth to achieve smoking, and the lighted end of the cigarette tobacco 6 is away from the suction port 4. When inhaling, it is more ergonomic and more convenient to smoke. In this embodiment, the tobacco insertion port 5 is parallel to the horizontal plane. When the cigarette tobacco 6 is inserted into the tobacco insertion port 5, it can remain level with the horizontal plane. Of course, the tobacco insertion port 5 can also be arranged at a certain angle with the horizontal plane; specifically, the angle at which the tobacco insertion port 5 is rotated can be set.


In this embodiment, one end of the cigarette tobacco 6 is a smoking end, and the cigarette tobacco 6 is inserted into the tobacco insertion port 5 through the smoking end. The cigarette tobacco 6 protrudes from the outer end of the cigarette holder 3 to form a combustion end. The combustion end of the cigarette tobacco 6 is lighted by an open flame at the output end of the lighting device to generate tobacco combustion smoke. In this embodiment, the cigarette tobacco 6 is a traditional ordinary cigarette, one end of which is the smoking end, which is put into the mouth for normal smoking. Therefore, in this embodiment, the user only needs to select a traditional cigarette and insert the smoking end thereof into the tobacco insertion port 5; at this time, the suction port 4 can be used for suction, and the cigarette tobacco 6 can also be inhaled. Together with the e-cigarette smoke, it can be inhaled into the mouth at the same time.


In order to increase the sealing performance after the tobacco cigarette is inserted, in this embodiment, a sealing layer is provided in the tobacco insertion port 5, and the smoking end of the cigarette tobacco 6 is inserted into the sealing layer to tightly fit with the tobacco insertion port 5. In this way, the amount of inhale for the cigarette tobacco 6 is larger when smoking, which prevents the situation of not being able to smoke tobacco. The opening of the tobacco insertion port 5 can be set in the shape of a bell mouth, so that better guidance can be achieved for the insertion of different cigarette tobaccos 6.


In order to allow the sealing plug 8 to follow the main body and prevent loss, in this embodiment, a connecting strap 7 is provided on one side of the sealing plug 8, and a hanging ring 2 is provided on the other side of the connecting strap 7. The hanging ring 2 is fixedly installed on the outside of the electronic cigarette main body 1. When the sealing plug 8 needs to be used, the sealing plug 8 can be buckled into the tobacco insertion port 5 to seal the tobacco insertion port 5. In this way, the suction port 4 can be used to complete the smoking of the electronic cigarette. Otherwise, the tobacco insertion port 5 is opened and the electronic cigarette cannot be smoked.


The electronic cigarette main body 1 is also provided with a battery 10 for powering the cartridge 9. The battery 10 can be a rechargeable battery 10. When there is no power, the charging port can be used to charge it to realize the endurance function of the electronic cigarette.


A smoke collection chamber 12 is formed in the cigarette holder 3. The output end of the cartridge 9 is provided with a smoke outlet 11. The output end of the smoke outlet 11 is connected with the smoke collection chamber 12. The tobacco insertion port 5 is communicated with the smoke collection chamber 12. The tobacco combustion smoke generated after the cigarette tobacco 6 is lighted by an open flame enters the smoke collection chamber 12 through the tobacco insertion port 5.


The suction port 4 is provided with a suction channel 13, and the suction channel 13 is connected with the smoke collection chamber 12 in the cigarette holder 3. An included angle of less than 90 degrees is formed between the suction port 4 and the horizontal plane. The smoke generated by the tobacco and the smoke generated by the cartridge 9 are gathered in the smoke collection chamber 12 along with the suction of the suction port 4. As shown in FIG. 2, the arrow direction is the direction of smoke movement. When the user sucks the suction port 4, the two smokes can be mixed and then discharged to achieve the purpose of mixed suction.


The above are only specific embodiments of the invention, but the protection scope of the invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions creative efforts shall all fall within protection scope of the invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the invention should be subject to the protection scope defined by the claims.
