[0038] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 2, an atomizer according to an embodiment is provided, which includes a liquid reservoir 10, an atomizing core 20, and a mouthpiece 30. The liquid reservoir 10 is provided with a liquid storage cavity 110 and an accommodating channel 120 in communication with the liquid storage cavity 110. The atomizing core 20 is movably disposed in the accommodating channel 120, and the atomizing core 20 is in communication with the liquid storage cavity 110. The mouthpiece 30 is movably disposed in the accommodating channel 120, the mouthpiece 30 movably abuts against the atomizing core 20, and the mouthpiece 30 is configured to push the atomizing core 20 out of the accommodating channel 120 and movably block the liquid storage cavity 110.
[0039] In the aforementioned atomizer, the liquid reservoir 10 is provided with the liquid storage cavity 110 and the accommodating channel 120, and the accommodating channel 120 is in communication with the liquid storage cavity 110. The atomizing core 20 and the mouthpiece 30 are respectively movably disposed in the accommodating channel 120, and the atomizing core 20 is in communication with the liquid storage cavity 110, such that liquid in the liquid storage cavity 110 can enter the atomizing core 20 to be atomized. By pushing the mouthpiece 30 into the accommodating channel 120, the mouthpiece 30 pushes the atomizing core 20 out of the accommodating channel 120. Meanwhile, the sidewall of the mouthpiece 30 blocks the liquid storage cavity 110 to prevent liquid in the liquid storage cavity 110 from entering the accommodating channel 120. The atomizer of the present disclosure has a simple structure, is convenient to operate, and can prevent liquid leakage when replacing the atomizing core 20, thus saving liquid and preventing liquid from contaminating hands.
[0040] Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 5, specifically, the liquid reservoir 10 is provided with a partition wall 130 therein. The partition wall 130 separates the liquid reservoir 10 into the accommodating channel 120 in a middle portion and the liquid storage cavity 110 surrounding the accommodating channel 120. The liquid storage cavity 110 is used to store liquid. The partition wall 130 is provided with a liquid outlet 131, and the accommodating channel 120 is in communication with the liquid storage cavity 110 through the liquid outlet 131.
[0041] The atomizing core 20 is movably disposed in the accommodating channel 120, and the atomizing core 20 is in communication with the liquid outlet 131. The mouthpiece 30 is movably disposed in the accommodating channel 120, the mouthpiece 30 movably abuts against the atomizing core 20, and the mouthpiece 30 is used to push the atomizing core 20 out of the accommodating channel 120 and movably block the liquid outlet 131.
[0042] In the aforementioned atomizer, by pushing the mouthpiece 30 toward the accommodating channel 120, the mouthpiece 30 will abut against the atomizing core 20, and the atomizing core 20 can be pushed out of the accommodating channel 120. When pushing the mouthpiece 30, the sidewall of the mouthpiece 30 is moved to block the liquid outlet 131, such that liquid in the liquid storage cavity 110 is prevented from leaking from the liquid outlet 131, which avoids contaminating hands, keeps the hands clean and saves the cost of liquid.
[0043] In order to increase the volume of the liquid storage cavity 110 and to increase the storage capacity of liquid, as shown in FIG. 3, in one of the embodiments, the partition wall 130 is enclosed to form the accommodating channel 120, and the liquid storage cavity 110 disposed surrounding of the accommodating 120. Since the liquid storage cavity 110 and the accommodating channel 120 are separated by the partition wall 130, and the liquid storage cavity 110 is arranged around the accommodating channel 120, the volume of the liquid storage cavity 110 is increased. In the illustrated embodiment, the partition wall 130 is not only a cavity wall of the liquid storage cavity 110, but also a sidewall of the accommodating channel 120. By increasing the volume of the liquid storage cavity 110 and the storage capacity of liquid, the number of liquid injections by the user can be reduced, the use time after a single liquid injection can be prolonged, the frequency of liquid injection can be reduced, and the use convenience of atomizer can be improved. Meanwhile, by arranging the liquid storage cavity 110 around the accommodating channel 120, the heat transfer rate during the heating of the atomizing core 20 is reduced, thus avoiding the discomfort of the user caused by the high temperature of the outer peripheral surface of the liquid reservoir 10. In one of the embodiments, the liquid outlet 131 is in communication with the accommodating channel 120, and then the accommodating channel 120 is in communication with the liquid storage cavity 110 via the liquid outlet 131. The liquid in the liquid storage cavity 110 can flow into the accommodating channel 120 from the liquid outlet 131, and then enter the atomizing core 20. In order to improve the liquid flowing speed. In one of the embodiments, the partition wall 130 is provided with two or more liquid outlets 131. By increasing the number of liquid outlets 131, the liquid can flow into the atomizing core 20 through the plurality of liquid outlets 131 to increase the smoke concentration during atomization. In one of the embodiments, in order to make liquid in uniform contact with the atomizing core 20, two or more liquid outlets 131 are evenly spaced, such that liquid uniformly enters the atomizing core 20 from multiple directions, so as to avoid a local carbon deposit in the atomizing core 20 caused by excessive liquid at local portions.
[0044] In order to concentrate the smoke from atomized liquid heated by the atomized core 20 and make the smoke enter the mouthpiece 30, so as to avoid the smoke from escaping, as shown in FIG. 4, in one of the embodiments, the mouthpiece 30 is provided with a smoke channel 310. One end of the atomizing core 20 extends at least partially into the smoke channel 310. One end of the smoke channel 310 is in communication with one end of the atomizing core 20, and another end of the smoke channel 310 is use to discharge smoke for the user to inhale. By partially extending one end of the atomizing core 20 into the smoke channel 310, the smoke can be accurately introduced into the mouthpiece 30 and inhaled by the user. In one of the embodiments, the mouthpiece 30 may be a general mouthpiece on the market.
[0045] In order to prevent liquid from leaking into the user's mouth from a gap between one end of the atomizing core 20 and the sidewall of the smoke channel 310, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in one of the embodiments, a first seal ring 210 is sleeved on the end of the atomizing core 20. The first seal ring 210 is located in the smoke channel 310 and in interference fit with the smoke channel 310, therefore, it can block the gap between the atomizing core 20 and the smoke channel 310 and prevent liquid from entering the smoke channel 310 through the gap.
[0046] In order to position the first seal ring 210, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in one of the embodiments, the atomizing core 20 is provided with a first positioning groove 220 on a sidewall of one end thereof, and the first seal ring 210 is fit in the first positioning groove 220, thereby preventing the first seal ring 210 from moving. In order to enhance the sealing effect, in one of the embodiments, the number of the first seal rings 210 is two or more. Accordingly, the number of the first positioning grooves 220 is also two or more, and the two or more first positioning grooves 220 are arranged at intervals. Each first seal ring 210 is placed in a corresponding first positioning groove 220. In one of the embodiments, the first seal ring 210 is made of elastic soft materials, such as rubber, silicone, or polyurethane, which is not limited hereto. By using the elastic soft material, the first seal ring 210 is elastic and convenient for disassembly and assembly, while maintaining an interference fit with the smoke channel 310.
[0047] In order to prevent the atomizing core 20 from completely entering the smoke channel 310 of the mouthpiece 30, as shown in FIG. 3, in one of the embodiments, the atomizing core 20 is provided with a step portion 230 on a sidewall thereof, and the step portion 230 abuts against the mouthpiece 30. In one of the embodiments, the step portion 230 abuts against one end of the mouthpiece 30 adjacent to the atomizing core 20. The outer diameter of the step portion 230 is larger than the inner diameter of the smoke channel 310, so as to prevent the atomizing core 20 from excessively entering the smoke channel 310. It is only necessary that the atomizing smoke outlet end of the atomizing core 20 enters the smoke channel 310, such that the smoke is buffered in the mouthpiece 30 before entering the mouth of the user, thus it is avoided that too short smoke distance will affect the user's smoking taste. As shown in FIG. 7, one end of the mouthpiece 30 abuts against the step portion 230. When the mouthpiece 30 is pushed from one end of the accommodating channel 120 into the accommodating channel 120, the mouthpiece 30 pushes the atomizing core 20 by abutting against the step portion 230, such that the atomizing core 20 is pushed out from the other end of the accommodating channel 120. In this embodiment, one end of the accommodating channel 120 is an end adjacent to the user, and the end of the accommodating channel 120 is an end away from the user. In one of the embodiments, the outer diameter of the mouthpiece 30 corresponds to the inner diameter of the accommodating channel 120. After the mouthpiece 30 is placed in the accommodating channel 120, the outer sidewall of the mouthpiece 30 is in contact with the sidewall of the accommodating channel 120, such that the mouthpiece 30 is fixed in the accommodating channel and prevented from falling off. By pushing the mouthpiece 30 into the accommodating channel 120, the mouthpiece 30 moves in the accommodating channel 120, and the outer sidewall of the mouthpiece 30 gradually blocks the liquid outlet 131 until the outer sidewall of the mouthpiece 30 completely blocks the liquid outlet 131, so as to prevent liquid from leaking from the liquid outlet 131.
[0048] In order to facilitate pushing the mouthpiece 30 and the atomizing core 20, as shown in FIG. 4, in one of the embodiments, the total length of the mouthpiece 30 and the atomizing core 20 after abutting against each other is greater than the length of the accommodating channel 120. In one of the embodiments, the length of the mouthpiece 30 is less than the length of the accommodating channel 120, the length of the atomizing core 20 is also less than the length of the accommodating channel 120, and the total length of the mouthpiece 30 and the atomizing core 20 is greater than the length of the accommodating channel 120, thus preventing both of the mouthpiece 30 and the atomizing core 20 from being located inside the accommodating channel 120 and is inconveniently to exert force. Since the total length of the abutting mouthpiece 30 and atomizing core 20 is greater than the length of the accommodating channel 120, at least a part of the mouthpiece 30 or a part of the atomizing core 30 is exposed outside the accommodating channel 120. When a part of the mouthpiece 30 is exposed outside one end of the accommodating channel 120, the atomizing core 20 can be pushed out from another end of the accommodating channel 120 by pushing the mouthpiece 30. After the atomizing core 20 is replaced, the replaced atomizing core 20 abuts against one end of the mouthpiece 30, and a force is exerted to the atomizing core 20 in the opposite direction from another end of the accommodating channel 120. While the replaced atomizing core 20 is pushed into the accommodating channel 120, the mouthpiece 30 is pushed out by the atomizing core 20 from one end of the accommodating channel 120 in the opposite direction, and a part of the mouthpiece 30 is exposed outside the accommodating channel 120 again for the user's mouth to suck through the mouthpiece 30.
[0049] When the user purchases a plurality atomizing cores 20 with different sizes for backup, some atomizing cores 20 in smaller size may not be fixed in the accommodating channel 120. In order to fix the atomizing core with a smaller outer diameter, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, in one of the embodiments, the atomizer further includes a sleeve 40, which is detachably disposed in the accommodating channel 120 and is sleeved on the atomizing core 20. The sleeve 40 is in communication with the liquid outlet 131, such that after liquid flows out of the liquid outlet 131, liquid can flow through the sleeve 40 and then enters the atomizing core 20. When the outer diameter of the atomizing core 20 is less than the inner diameter of the accommodating channel 120, the sleeve 40 sleeved at the outside of the atomizing core 20 can fill the gap between the atomizing core 20 and the accommodating channel 120, such that the atomizing core is fixed in the accommodating channel 120. As shown in FIG. 4, in one of the embodiments, the outer diameter of the sleeve 40 is no less than the inner diameter of the accommodating channel 120, i.e., the outer diameter of the sleeve 40 is larger than or equal to the inner diameter of the accommodating channel 120. The outer diameter of at least a part of the housing of the atomizing core 20 corresponds to at least a part of an inner diameter of the sleeve 40, such that the atomizing core 20 can be fixed in the accommodating channel 120 through the sleeve 40, so as to prevent the atomizing core 20 from shaking in the accommodating channel 120.
[0050] In one of the embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, when the housing of the atomizing core 20 is a non-straight housing, the inner sidewall of the sleeve 40 may also be a non-straight sidewall, so as to fix the atomizing core 20 in the accommodating channel 120. When the sleeve 40 is sleeved on the housing of the atomizing core 20, it is only necessary that the inner diameter of part of the inner sidewall of the sleeve 40 corresponds to the outer diameter of a part of the housing of the atomizing core 20, such that at least a part of the inner sidewall of the sleeve 40 is in firm contact with at least a part of the housing of the atomizing core 20, thereby fixing the atomizing core 20 in the accommodating channel 120.
[0051] In order to adapt to atomizing cores 20 with different sizes, in one of the embodiments, two or more sleeves 40 are provided, which have different inner diameters. According to the size requirements, one of the sleeves 40 is selected to be disposed in the accommodating channel 120, and two or more sleeves 40 can be used alternately. In order to facilitate users to choose atomizing cores 20 with different sizes, and avoid purchasing a lot of atomizers to adapt to the size of the atomizing cores 20, and reduce the use cost for users, the plurality of sleeves 40 are provided to adapt to the atomizing cores 20 with different outer diameters, thus different atomizing cores can be fixed in the accommodating channel 120. In one of the embodiments, an inner diameter of the two or more sleeves 40 can be 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, or 12 mm. The outer diameter of atomizing cores 20 commonly available in the market can be adapted by providing sleeves 40 with a plurality of sizes. In one of the embodiments, when an inner sidewall of the sleeve 40 is a non-straight surface, a minimum inner diameter of an inner sidewall of the sleeves 40 can be 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, or 12 mm. The atomizing core 20 is a consumable and therefore needs to be replaced frequently, by providing the sleeves 40 with different sizes, the range of atomizing cores 20 purchased by the user can be expanded and the convenience of use can be improved.
[0052] As shown in FIG. 4, in one of the embodiments, when the number of sleeves is two or more, the outer diameters of each sleeve are the same, and the inner diameters of each sleeve are different, thus it can adapt to the atomizing cores 20 with different sizes. The outer diameters of each sleeve 40 are the same, such that each sleeve 40 is adapted to the size of the accommodating channel 120. Two or more sleeves 40 with commonly used size are provided for replacement.
[0053] In order to facilitate the sleeve 40 to be in communication with the liquid outlet 131, and enable the liquid to enter the atomizing core 20 through the sleeve 40, as shown in FIG. 3, in one of the embodiments, the sleeve 40 is provided with a first through hole 410, which is in communication with the liquid outlets 131. The liquid can flow through the first through hole 410 and the liquid outlet 131, and then enter the atomizing core 20. In one of the embodiments, two or more first through holes 410 can be provided. By increasing the number of the first through holes 410, the number of flowing-through channels of liquid is increased, and the liquid flow efficiency is improved. In one of the embodiments, the first through holes 410 correspond to the liquid outlets 131 in number and positions, respectively, so as to keep the liquid flowing smoothly.
[0054] In order to reduce the overall size of the atomizer, the size of the atomizer is similar to an external size of a real cigarette, and the user's use experience is improved. As shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, in one of the embodiments, the sidewall of the sleeve 40 forms a part of the cavity wall of the liquid storage cavity 110. In order to optimize the distribution of the inner space of the atomizer, the partition wall 130 is designed to have a short size. When the partition wall 130 is too short, the partition wall 130 cannot form a complete cavity wall, which greatly exposes the liquid storage cavity 110 and the liquid storage cavity 110 cannot store the liquid. In this embodiment, the sidewall of the sleeve 40 is spliced with the partition wall 130 to form the cavity wall of the liquid storage cavity 110, and the sidewall of the sleeve 40 is used to complement the partition wall 130, thus forming a continuous and complete cavity wall of the liquid storage cavity 110, such that the occupied space of the liquid reservoir 10 is reduced while the liquid storage cavity 110 can store the liquid. The sidewall of the sleeve 40 can serve as the cavity wall and can fix the atomizing core 20. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 7, in one of the embodiments, in order to facilitate the pushing of the mouthpiece 30, the inner diameter of the sleeve 40 is no less than the outer diameter of the mouthpiece 30, such that the mouthpiece 30 can smoothly enter the sleeve 40 and abut against the atomizing core 20, and it is convenient to push the mouthpiece 30 out of the accommodating channel 120 along the inner side of the sleeve 40. At the same time, the sidewall of the mouthpiece 30 blocks the first through hole 410 of the sleeve 40 to prevent liquid from leaking out of the first through hole 410. In this embodiment, the sidewall of the sleeve 40 is used as a part of the cavity wall of the liquid storage cavity 110. In order to save the occupied space, the partition wall 130 is provided with no liquid outlet 131, and the position occupied by the sidewall of the sleeve 40 is regarded as the position of the liquid outlet 131. In other embodiments, the liquid outlet 131 of the partition wall 130 is disposed at a position where it overlaps with the sleeve 40, and the first through hole 410 is also disposed at a position where it overlaps with the partition wall 130, such that the first through hole 410 is in communication with the liquid outlet 131 for easy circulation of liquid.
[0055] In order that the sidewall of the sleeve 40 is spliced with the partition wall 130 to form a continuous cavity wall, as shown in FIG. 3, in one of the embodiments, the sidewall of the sleeve 40 is configured to separate the liquid storage cavity 110 and the accommodating channel 120. The sidewall of the sleeve 40 and the partition wall 130 are at least partially overlapped, and the sidewall of the sleeve 40 is spliced with the partition wall 130 to form the cavity wall of the liquid storage cavity 110. Compared with the splicing method in which the end of the sidewall of the sleeve 40 directly abuts against the end of the partition wall 130, liquid can be prevented from leaking from the gap of the two after splicing through splicing by overlapping disposing. In one of the embodiments, in order to reduce the occupied space of the too thick overlapping portion of the sidewall of the sleeve 40 and the partition wall 130, the wall thickness of the overlapping portion of the sidewall of the sleeve 40 and the partition wall 130 is reduced. That is, the wall thickness of the sidewall of the sleeve 40 of the overlapping portion and the wall thickness of the partition wall 130 of the overlapping portion are reduced, such that the thickness of the two after overlapping is no greater than the initial thickness of the sidewall of the sleeve 40 or the partition wall 130, the occupied space of the overlapping portion is reduced, and the volume of the liquid storage cavity 110 is kept maximum.
[0056] In order to limit the overlapping depth of the sidewall of the sleeve 40 and the partition wall 130, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in one of the embodiments, the sidewall of the sleeve 40 or/and the partition wall 130 is provided with a limit protrusion 420. In other words, both the sidewall of the sleeve 40 and the partition wall 130 are provided with limit protrusions 420, or only one of them is provided with the limit protrusion 420. When the sidewall of the sleeve 40 is provided with the limit protrusion 420, the limit protrusion 420 is disposed at a side thereof adjacent to the accommodating channel 120, such that an end of the partition wall 130 abuts against the limit protrusion 420. When the sidewall of the sleeve 40 and the partition wall 130 are overlapped, the mutual position of the sidewall of the sleeve 40 and the partition wall 130 can be quickly determined by the abutting of the limit protrusion, thereby keeping the position of the two fixed. Similarly, when the partition wall 130 is provided with the limit protrusion 420, the limit protrusion 420 is disposed at a side thereof adjacent to the liquid storage cavity 110, such that the end of the sidewall of the sleeve 40 abuts against the limit protrusion 420. The position of the sidewall of the sleeve 40 and the partition wall 130 is defined by the limit protrusion 420, and the rapid disassembly and assembly of the sleeve 40 and the liquid reservoir 10 can also be achieved.
[0057] In order to prevent liquid in the liquid storage cavity 110 from leaking out from the gap of the overlapping portion, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in one of the embodiments, the sleeve 40 is provided with a first anti-leak groove 430 on a sidewall thereof overlapping the partition wall 130. By providing the first anti-leak groove 430 on the overlapping portion, when liquid leaks into the gap of the overlapping portion, liquid can be buffered and stored in the first anti-leak groove 430 to prevent liquid from leaking out from the gap of the overlapping portion.
[0058] If liquid leaks out from the gap of the overlapping portion, it will then flow into the accommodating channel 120 instead of the atomizing core 20, thus eventually contaminating the accommodating channel 120 and even flow out of the accommodating channel 120 to the outside of the atomizer, which will contaminate the atomizer 20 and at the same time, waste liquid. In order to further prevent liquid from leaking out of the gap of the overlapping portion into the accommodating channel 120 and flowing out of the accommodating channel 120 to the outside of the atomizer, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in one of the embodiments, the mouthpiece 30 is provided with a second anti-leak groove 320 on the outer sidewall thereof. In this embodiment, the second anti-leak groove 320 is disposed around the outer sidewall of the mouthpiece 30, so as to prevent liquid from leaking out in all directions. In one of the embodiments, the second anti-leak groove 320 is close to one end of the mouthpiece 30, such that the second anti-leak groove 320 is adjacent to the gap of the overlapping portion. When the liquid leaks out from the gap of the overlapping portion accidentally, it will leak into the gap between the sidewall of the mouthpiece 30 and the sidewall of the accommodating channel 120. By providing the second anti-leak groove 320, the leaked liquid is buffered and stored in the second anti-leak groove 320 to prevent liquid from leaking out from the gap between the mouthpiece 30 and the accommodating channel 120 to the outside of the atomizer.
[0059] In order to strictly prevent the liquid from leaking out of the atomizer, in one of the embodiments, the mouthpiece 30 is provided with two or more second anti-leak grooves 320 on a side surface thereof adjacent to the sidewall of the accommodating channel 120. In one of the embodiments, two or more second anti-leak grooves 320 are arranged at intervals, thus preventing the liquid from contaminating the outside of the atomizer. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in one of the embodiments, the number of the second anti-leak grooves 320 is three, and two of the second anti-leak grooves 320 are adjacently disposed in intervals at one end of the mouthpiece 30 and the other second anti-leak groove 320 is disposed at one end of the mouthpiece 30 adjacent to the accommodating channel 120. By additionally disposing the second anti-leak groove 320 at a position adjacent to the outlet of the accommodating channel 120, the liquid will not leak out of the atomizer. At the same time, by providing a plurality of second anti-leak grooves 320, the contact area between the mouthpiece 30 and the sidewall of the accommodating channel 120 is reduced, thereby reducing the friction between the two, and it is easier to push the mouthpiece 30 to move in the accommodating channel 120.
[0060] In order to fix the sleeve 40 and prevent the sleeve 40 from being released from the accommodating channel 120, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, in one of the embodiments, the atomizer further includes a fixing base 50. The fixing base 50 is detachably connected to one end of the liquid reservoir 10 adjacent to the atomizing core 20. The fixing base 50 is provided with a limiting through hole 510 that is in communication with the accommodating channel 120, such that at least a part of the atomizing core 20 is exposed out of the limiting through hole 510, thus it is convenient for replacing the atomizing core 20. And it is convenient for the atomizing core 20 to be pushed out of the accommodating channel 120 after passing through the limiting through hole 510. The diameter of the limiting through hole 510 is less than the outer diameter of the sleeve 40, such that the sleeve 40 cannot be released from the limiting through hole 510, and is fixed in the accommodating channel 120. As shown in FIG. 4, in one of the embodiments, in order to prevent the atomizing core 20 from completely entering the accommodating channel 120, a diameter of one end of the atomizing core 20 adjacent to the limiting through hole 510 is greater than a diameter of the limiting through hole 510, and one end of the atomizing core 20 cannot pass through the limiting through hole 510 and enter the accommodating channel 120, such that one end of the atomizing core 20 is always exposed outside of the accommodating channel 120, it is convenient for the atomizing core 20 to be connected to a cigarette rod of the electronic cigarette.
[0061] In order to facilitate the detachment of the fixing base 50, as shown in FIG. 6, in one of the embodiments, the fixing base 510 is snapped with the liquid reservoir 10. In one of the embodiments, a snapping block 140 is convexly disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the liquid reservoir 10, the fixing base 50 is provided with a snapping hole 520, and the snapping block 140 is correspondingly snapped into the snapping hole 520.

In order to facilitate the processing and molding of the liquid reservoir 10 and facilitate the demolding during injection molding, as shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, in one of the embodiments, one end of the liquid reservoir 10 is an opened structure which cannot store liquid. In order to seal the liquid storage cavity 110, the atomizer further includes a sealing seat 60. The sealing seat 60 is sleeved on the sidewall of the sleeve 40 and abuts against the inner sidewall of the liquid reservoir 10, thereby blocking an exposed end of the liquid storage cavity 110 and enabling the liquid storage cavity 110 to perform the liquid storage function. As shown in FIG. 4, in one of the embodiments, the inner sidewall of the liquid reservoir 10, the partition wall 130, the sidewall of the sleeve 40, and the sealing seat 60 are cooperatively enclosed to form the liquid storage cavity 110. The partition wall 130 is spliced with the sidewall of the sleeve 40 to form the continuous and complete cavity wall, and the sealing seat 60 blocks one end of the liquid storage cavity 110, thereby forming the complete liquid storage cavity 110, such that the liquid storage cavity 110 has the liquid storage function, As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, in one of the embodiments, in order to prevent the sealing seat 60 from excessively entering the liquid storage cavity 110 which will reduce the volume of the liquid storage cavity 110, a flange 610 is also convexly disposed on the sealing seat 60. The flange 610 abuts against one end of the liquid reservoir 10 to prevent the sealing seat 60 from excessively entering the liquid storage cavity 110, thereby ensuring that the volume of the liquid storage cavity 110 is maximized. The flange 610 can also facilitate the detachment of the sealing seat 60.
[0063] In order to enhance the sealing effect of the sealing seat 60, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, in one of the embodiments, a second seal ring 620 is sleeved on the outer sidewall of the sealing seat 60, and the second seal ring 620 is in interference fit with the inner wall of the liquid reservoir 10, so as to prevent the liquid from leaking out from the gap between the sealing seat 60 and the inner sidewall of the liquid reservoir 10. In order to fix the second seal ring 620, in one of the embodiments, the outer sidewall of the sealing seat 60 is provided with a second limit groove 630, and the second seal ring 620 is snapped in the second limit groove 630 to prevent the second seal ring 620 from moving, thus ensuring the sealing effect of the sealing seat 60. In one of the embodiments, the second seal ring 620 is made of elastic soft material, such as silicone, rubber, or polyurethane, which is not limited hereto. The elastic second seal ring 620 is convenient for disassembly and assembly, while maintaining an interference fit with an inner sidewall of the liquid storage cavity 110.
[0064] In order to prevent the second seal ring 620 from moving in the second limit groove 630, as shown in FIG. 6, in one of the embodiments, a groove wall of the second limit groove 630 is provided with a limiting notch 631, and the second seal ring 620 is provided with a limiting block 621 at a side thereof adjacent to the groove wall, and the limiting block 621 is correspondingly received in the limiting notch 631 to prevent the second seal ring 620 from moving in the second limit groove 630.
[0065] In order to prevent the liquid from leaking out from the gap between the sealing seat 60 and the sleeve 40, in one of the embodiments, the sealing seat 60 is provided with a third anti-leak groove 440 on a surface thereof adjacent to the sleeve 40. Alternatively, the sleeve 40 is provided with a third anti-leak groove 440 on a surface thereof adjacent to the sealing seat 60. The third anti-leak groove 440 is arranged around one of the sealing seat 60 or the sleeve 40. The third anti-leak groove 440 can store the leaking liquid and prevent the liquid from leaking out from the gap.
[0066] In order to enhance the anti-leakage effect of the atomizer, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, in one of the embodiments, the fixing base 50 is shaped as an annular cover and has a cover edge 530. The cover edge 530 is arranged around the outer periphery of the liquid reservoir 10. The fixing base 50 not only can prevent the sleeve 40 from being released from the accommodating channel 120, but also can isolate the sealing seat 60 from the outside of the atomizer, thereby preventing the sealing seat 60 from being released from the liquid reservoir 10, and further preventing the liquid from leaking out of the atomizer. In one of the embodiments, in order to facilitate the detachment of the fixing base 50, the fixing base 50 is snapped to the liquid reservoir 10. In this embodiment, a snapping block 140 is convexly disposed on the outer periphery of the liquid reservoir 10, the fixing base 50 is provided with a snapping hole 520 on the cover edge 530 thereof, and the snapping block 140 is correspondingly snapped in the snapping hole 520. With the snapping connection, no tool is needed, which is convenient for users to rapidly disassemble and assemble with bare hands.
[0067] When the sleeve 40 is sleeved on the atomizing core 20, in order to prevent the liquid from leaking out from the gap between the atomizing core 20 and the inner sidewall of the sleeve 40, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in one of the embodiments, the atomizer further includes a third seal ring 240. The third seal ring 240 is sleeved on the atomizing core 20 and is in interference fit with the inner sidewall of the sleeve 40, so as to prevent the liquid from leaking from the gap between the atomizing core 20 and the inner sidewall of the sleeve 40. In order to fix the position of the third seal ring 240, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in one of the embodiments, the atomizing core 20 is provided with a third limit groove 250 on an outer sidewall thereof, and the third seal ring 240 is snapped in the third limit groove 250, thereby preventing the third seal ring 240 from moving and ensuring the sealing effect of the third seal ring 240. In one of the embodiments, the third seal ring 240 is made of elastic soft material, such as silicone, rubber, or polyurethane, which is not limited here to. By using the soft material, the third seal ring 240 is elastic and convenient for disassembly and assembly, while maintaining an interference fit with the inner sidewall of sleeve 40.
[0068] As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 8, in one of the embodiments, the atomizing core 20 includes a housing 21 and a gas regulating ring 260. The gas regulating ring 260 is sleeved on the housing 21, and the housing 21 is configured to receive an atomizing assembly. The housing 21 is provided with a liquid inlet 270, which is in communication with the liquid storage cavity 110. In this embodiment, the liquid inlet 270 is in communication with the first through hole 410 and the liquid outlet 131, respectively. The liquid in the liquid storage cavity 110 can flow through the liquid outlet 131 and the first through hole 410 successively, and then enters the housing 21 through the liquid inlet 270 and infiltrates the atomizing assembly. The atomizing assembly generally includes a heating wire and a wick. In one of the embodiments, the housing 21 is further provided with a gas inlet (not shown), and external air enters the housing 21 through the gas inlet. The gas regulating ring 260 is provided with a gas regulating hole 261. The gas regulating ring 260 is rotatably sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the housing 21. By rotating the gas regulating ring 260, the overlapping area of the gas regulating hole 261 and the gas inlet is adjusted, so as to control the actual area of the gas flow channel of the gas inlet, and then adjust the flow rate of air into the housing 21. By adjusting the flow rate of air into the housing 21, the amount of air inhaled by the user is adjusted. The user can select the appropriate amount of air by rotating the gas regulating ring 261 to meet the inhalation needs of different users. In one of the embodiments, the outer diameter of the gas regulating ring 261 is greater than the diameter of the limiting through hole 510, such that the gas regulating ring 261 of the atomizing core 20 is always exposed outside of the accommodating channel 120 for the user to rotate.
[0069] In order to facilitate the user to add liquid into the liquid storage cavity 110, as shown in FIG. 2, in one of the embodiments, the liquid reservoir 10 is provided with a liquid injection hole 150 on the outer sidewall thereof, which is in communication with the liquid storage cavity 110. The user can refill the liquid into the liquid storage cavity 10 through the liquid injection hole 150. In order to prevent oil leakage, as shown in FIG. 2, in one of the embodiments, the liquid reservoir 10 further includes a reservoir cover 160, and the reservoir cover 160 is detachably disposed at the liquid injection hole 150. The detachable connection makes it easy for users to open the reservoir cover 160. In one of the embodiments, in order to prevent the reservoir cover 160 from falling, a connecting block 161 is provided on the reservoir cover 160 at a side thereof adjacent to the liquid storage cavity 110. The connecting block 161 extends through the liquid injection hole 150, such that the reservoir cover 160 is fixed to the liquid reservoir 10. In one of the embodiments, the connecting block 161 is made of elastic material, and the cross-sectional dimension of the connecting block 161 is greater than the dimension of the liquid injection hole 150, such that the connecting block 161 is in an interference fit with the liquid injection hole 150, so as to avoid the reservoir cover 160 from falling while avoiding the leakage of liquid from the liquid injection hole 150.
[0070] In order to further fix the reservoir cover 160, in one of the embodiments, the liquid reservoir 10 is further provided with a limiting hole 170 located at a side of the liquid injection hole 150. A limit pillar 162 is also provided at a side of the reservoir cover 160 adjacent to the liquid storage cavity 110. The limit pillar 162 correspondingly extends through the limiting hole 170 and into the liquid storage cavity 110. By inserting the limit pillar 162 into the liquid storage cavity 110, the reservoir cover 160 is quickly positioned, while preventing the reservoir cover 160 from falling off. In one of the embodiments, the limit pillar 162 is made of elastic material, and the cross-sectional dimension of the limit pillar 162 is larger than the dimension of the limiting hole 170, such that the limit pillar 162 is in interference fit with the limiting hole 170, so as to prevent the reservoir cover 160 from falling off. By using elastic materials, it is convenient to disassembly and assembly the limit pillar 162. In one of the embodiments, the connecting block 161 and the limit pillar 162 are made of soft materials, such as rubber, silicone or polyurethane, which is not limited hereto. In one of the embodiments, the reservoir cover 160 is injection-molded using soft material as a whole.
[0071] When the electronic cigarette is used for a period of time, bacteria will be somehow generated inside the atomizer, and there will be healthy problem with the atomizer. At the same time, a carbon deposit of liquid may be remained in every corner inside the atomizer, which affects the taste. Moreover, if the user replaces different flavor types of liquid, the liquid of the new flavor will be mixed with the liquid remaining in the liquid storage cavity 110, which will also affect the taste. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the liquid storage cavity 110. The atomizer according to any of the above embodiments of the present disclosure can be disassembled and assembled with bare hands without any tools, which facilitates internal cleaning and maintains the atomizer clean and hygienic. The disassembly and assembly process of the atomizer of the present disclosure will be described below through specific embodiments.
[0072] As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4, and FIG. 6, in step 1, the sleeve 40 is inserted into the accommodating channel 120 of the liquid reservoir 10, and the sidewall of the sleeve 40 is spliced with the partition wall 130 to form a cavity wall of the liquid storage cavity 110 by the limit protrusion 420. In step 2, the sealing seat 60 is sleeved on the sleeve 40. The sealing seat 60 blocks the liquid storage cavity 110, and the flange 610 of the sealing seat 60 abuts against a bottom end of the liquid reservoir 10, such that the sealing seat 60 seals the liquid storage cavity 110. In step 3, the fixing base 50 is snap-connected to one end of the liquid reservoir 10 to further seal the liquid reservoir 10, while preventing the sleeve 40 and the sealing seat 60 from being detached. In step 4, the mouthpiece 30 is inserted into the accommodating channel 120 from one end of the accommodating channel 120. At last, in step 5, the atomizing core 20 extends through the limiting through hole 510 of the fixing base 50 and into the accommodating channel 120. At least a part of the housing of the atomizing core 20 is attached to the inner sidewall of the sleeve 40, and the atomizing core 20 extends into the accommodating channel 120 until it abuts against one end of the mouthpiece 30, so as to fix the atomizing core 20 in the accommodating channel 120. Of course, the order of step 2 and step 3 can be interchanged, the order of step 4 and step 5 can also be interchanged, and step 4 can also be adjusted to be step 1. The assembly sequence is flexible and easy to operate. In this embodiment, the first seal ring 210 is snapped in the first positioning groove 220 of the atomizing core 20, and the third seal ring 240 is pre-snapped in the third limit groove 250 of the atomizing core 20. The second seal ring 620 is pre-snapped in the second limit groove 630 of the sealing seat 60. The first seal ring 210, the second seal ring 620, and the third seal ring 240 all have a sealing effect and an interference fit effect, thus preventing the liquid from leaking from the gap of the connection of components. In use, the liquid storage cavity 110 can be filled with liquid by opening the reservoir cover 160. After injecting the liquid, the reservoir cover 160 is closed. Before inhaling, the user can rotate the gas regulating ring 260 of the atomizing core 20 to adjust the inspiratory capacity.
[0073] When the atomizer is used for a period of time, the atomizing core 20 needs to be replaced. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 7, the user only needs to directly push the mouthpiece 30 into the accommodating channel 120 to push the atomizing core 20 out from another end of the accommodating channel 120. Then, a new atomizing core 20 abuts against one end of the mouthpiece 30, and a force is exerted to the atomizing core 20 in the opposite direction from another end of the accommodating channel 120. While the new atomizing core 20 is pushed into the accommodating channel 120, the mouthpiece 30 is pushed out by the atomizing core 20 from one end of the accommodating channel 120 in the opposite direction. In the process of pushing out the atomizing core 20, the sidewall of the mouthpiece 30 blocks the first through hole 410 of the sleeve 40 to prevent liquid in the liquid storage cavity 110 from leaking out of the first through hole 410. In such a replacement process, the operation is convenient and quick, saves liquid, avoids waste, and also avoids leakage of liquid from a bottom of the atomizer to contaminate hands.
[0074] A plurality of sleeves 40 can be provided, and the inner diameters of the plurality of sleeves 40 are different, so as to adapt to different types of atomizing cores 20. Users can choose different sleeves 40 to replace according to the model of the atomizing core 20 actually used. The step of replacing the sleeve 40 is as follows: firstly, the atomizing core 20 is pulled out of the accommodating channel 120, and then the fixing base 50 is removed from the liquid reservoir 10. Then, the flange 610 of the sealing seat 60 is grasped, and the sealing seat 60 is taken out of the liquid storage cavity 110, and then the sleeve 40 can be taken out. Finally, a new sleeve 40 with a different size is assembled according to the above assembly sequence.
[0075] When the atomizer needs to be cleaned, the detachment steps of the atomizer in this embodiment are as follows.
[0076] Firstly, the mouthpiece 30 and the atomizing core 20 are pulled out from both ends of the accommodating channel 120, respectively. Then, the fixing base 50 is removed, and then the flange 610 of the sealing seat 50 is grasped, and the sealing seat 50 is taken out of the liquid storage cavity 110, and then the sleeve 40 is taken out, and finally the reservoir cover 160 is pulled out of the liquid reservoir 10. In this way, the disassembly of the atomizer is completed, which is quick and convenient. Users can clean each component separately to keep the atomizer clean and hygienic. The first seal ring 210, the second seal ring 620, and the third seal ring 240 can be respectively removed and cleaned, such that the first positioning groove 220, the second limit groove 630, and the third limit groove 250 can be cleaned thoroughly. Because the atomizing core 20 has electrical parts, the atomizing core 20 is not suitable for washing. After using the atomizing core 20 for a period of time, it can be replaced by a new one directly, which is more hygienic.
[0077] The structure of the atomizer of the present disclosure is convenient for users to disassemble and assemble with bare hands, without tools, and is quick and convenient. By keeping the atomizer clean and tidy, a better use experience can be maintained for users, while extending the life span of the atomizer and saving the use cost.
[0078] The present disclosure also provides an electronic cigarette, which includes the atomizer of any one of the aforementioned embodiments. In one of the embodiments, the electronic cigarette further includes a battery assembly having a battery and a cigarette rod. The cigarette rod has a hollow structure, the battery is received in the cigarette rod, and the atomizing core 20 of the atomizer is electrically connected to the battery. In one of the embodiments, the atomizer is connected to the cigarette rod, such that the overall length of the two after being connected is closer to a real cigarette, thereby facilitating the user's handholding. In one of the embodiments, the liquid reservoir 10 of the atomizer is detachably connected to the smoke rod. In one of the embodiments, the liquid reservoir 10 of the atomizer is snapped to the cigarette rod, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.
[0079] In the aforementioned electronic cigarette, the structure of the atomizer is convenient for disassembly and assembly and easy to clean. By keeping the atomizer clean and tidy, a better use experience can be obtained, while extending the life span of the atomizer and saving the use cost. At the same time, it is easy to replace the atomizing core 20. The atomizing core 20 is pushed out of the accommodating channel 120 by pushing the mouthpiece 30, and at the same time, the mouthpiece 30 blocks the liquid outlet 131 or the first through hole 410 to complete the replacement of the atomizing core 20 and prevent the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 110 from leaking out, so as to avoid contaminating hands, keep the hands clean, and saving the cost of liquid.
