[0021] The electronic cigarette vaping device 10 includes a sleeve 11, a heating structure
12 installed at one end of the sleeve 11, and a movable member 13 detachably connected
to one end of the sleeve 11 adjacent to the heating structure 12.
[0022] Refer to FIGs. 2-6, the sleeve 11 is substantially cylindrical. The sleeve 11 includes
a main body 111 arranged in the axial direction of the sleeve 11 and a mounting portion
112 located at one end of the main body 111 adjacent to of the heating structure 12.
In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the mounting portion 112 is smaller than
the outer diameter of the main body 111. The mounting portion 112 includes a reserved
section 1121 connected with the main body 111, and a sliding section 1122 configured
for connecting with the movable member 13. In this embodiment, one end of the sleeve
11 facing the movable member 13 is defined as the connecting end of the sleeve 11.
The sliding section 1122 and the reserved section 1121 are integrally formed. An external
thread section 1123 is provided on the sliding section 1122 along a circumferential
direction of the sliding section 1122. The outer surface of the sliding section 1122
is provided with at least one sliding groove 1124 extending along the axial direction
of the mounting portion 112 and running through the external thread section 1123.
In this embodiment, there are four sliding grooves 1124, and the four sliding grooves
1124 are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the sliding section 1122 along
the circumferential direction of the sliding section 1122.
[0023] The heating structure 12 is at least partially protruded out from the connecting
end of the sleeve 11. In this embodiment, the heating structure 12 includes a mounting
frame 121 installed on the inner surface of the sliding section 1122 and a heating
member 122 protruding from the mounting frame 121 in a direction away from the sleeve
11. The heating member 122 is at least partially protruded out from the connecting
end of the sleeve 11. Specifically, the mounting frame 121 is installed at one end
of the sleeve 11 adjacent to the movable member 13. More specifically, the mounting
frame 121 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of one end of the sliding section
1122 adjacent to the movable member 13. It can be understood that, in other embodiments
not shown, the sleeve 11 is substantially columnar or cylindrical, the heating structure
12 includes a heating member 122, and the heating member 122 is connected to the sleeve
11 and at least partially protrudes out from the connecting end of the sleeve 11.
In order to improve the efficiency of heat conduction between the heating member 122
and the tobacco product 20, the shape of the heating member 122 is so designed that
the heating member 122 has a relatively large specific surface area. In this embodiment,
the heating member 122 is in the shape of a sheet. It is understood that, in other
embodiments not shown, the heating member 122 may also be in a columnar shape or the
like that is convenient for placing into the tobacco product 20.
[0024] The movable member 13 has two open ends. The inner surface of the movable member
13 is provided with a limiting plate 131. The limiting plate 131 divides the inner
cavity of the movable member 13 into a connecting chamber 1312 used for receiving
the mounting portion 112 and an atomizing chamber 1313 used for placing the tobacco
product 20. The inner diameter of the connecting chamber 1312 of the movable member
13 is greater than the outer diameter of the mounting portion 112. The limiting plate
131 is provided with a limiting hole 1311 corresponding to the shape of the heating
member 122. It can be understood that, in other embodiments not shown, the limiting
plate 131 is not provided on the inner surface of the movable member 13. When the
limiting plate 131 is omitted, the movable member 13 has two open ends, and the inner
cavity of the movable member 13 is configured for receiving the mounting portion 112
and placing the tobacco product 20 at the same time. In this case, the inner wall
of the movable member 13 can be provided with a protrusion 135 for abutting against
the tobacco product 20. When the movable member 13 and the sleeve 11 are separated,
since the protrusion 135 of the movable member 13 abuts against the tobacco product
20, the tobacco product 20 can be taken out from the heating member 122.
[0025] An internal thread section 132 corresponding to the external thread section 1123
is provided on the inner surface of one end of the movable member 13 adjacent to the
sleeve 11 along a circumferential direction of the movable member 13. In this embodiment,
one end of the movable member 13 facing the sleeve 11 is defined as the connecting
end of the movable member 13. Along the axial direction of the electronic cigarette
vaping device 10, at least one positioning rib 133 corresponding to the sliding groove
1124 is protruded from the inner wall of the movable member 13 at one side of the
internal thread section 132 away from the sleeve 11. At least one positioning rib
133 corresponding to the sliding groove 1124 is protruded from the inner wall of the
movable member 13 between the internal thread section 132 and the limiting plate 131.
In this embodiment, there are four positioning ribs 133, and the four positioning
ribs 133 are evenly distributed on the inner surface of the movable member 13 along
the circumferential direction of the movable member 13.
[0026] The inner wall of the movable member 13 between the internal thread section 132 and
the positioning rib 133 is provided with a receiving groove 134 along the circumferential
direction of the movable member 13. The inner diameter of the receiving groove 134
is greater than the inner diameter of the internal thread section 132 and the outer
diameter of the external thread section 1123. In this embodiment, the inner diameter
of the receiving groove 134 is the same as the inner diameter of the connecting chamber
1312 of the movable member 13. When the movable member 13 is installed onto the mounting
portion 112, the receiving groove 134 is used to, after the internal thread section
132 is screwed to the bottom of the external thread section 1123, avoid the external
thread section 1123 from interfering with the positioning rib 133 to make it difficult
for the positioning rib 133 to align with the sliding groove 1124 and enter into the
sliding groove 1124. The term "bottom" as used herein refers to the end of each part
of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10 that is away from the movable member
13 in the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10.
[0027] By providing the receiving groove 134, when the internal thread section 132 is gradually
screwed to the bottom of the external thread section 1123, the external thread section
1123 gradually enters into the receiving groove 134. When the internal thread section
132 is completely screwed to the bottom of the external thread section 1123, the threaded
engagement between the internal thread section 132 and the external thread section
1123 is released, and the external thread section 1123 is completely received in the
receiving groove 134, thereby providing a space for the positioning rib 133 to align
with the sliding groove 1124. After the positioning rib 133 is aligned with the sliding
groove 1124, the protruded positioning rib 133 gradually slides into the corresponding
sliding groove 1124. At this time, since the inner diameter of the connecting chamber
1312 of the movable member 13 is greater than the outer diameter of the mounting portion
112, the inner surface of the movable member 13 will not contact the outer surface
of the external thread section 1123 during the sliding process.
[0028] Before the positioning rib 133 slides into the sliding groove 1124, the heating member
122 does not extend into the limiting hole 1311. When the protruded positioning rib
133 gradually slides into the corresponding sliding groove 1124, the heating member
122 gradually extends through the limiting hole 1311. When the positioning rib 133
completely slides into the sliding groove 1124, the heating member 122 completely
extends through the limiting hole 1311, and at this time, the heating member 122 is
exposed to the maximal extent, which is convenient for the user to place the tobacco
product 20 on the heating member 122 firmly.
[0029] When the movable member 13 is gradually separated from the mounting portion 112,
the positioning rib 133 gradually separates from the sliding groove 1124, and the
external thread section 1123 gradually enters into the receiving groove 134. When
the positioning rib 133 is completely separated from the sliding groove 1124, the
heating member 122 retracts from the limiting hole 1311, the external thread section
1123 is completely received in the receiving groove 134, and at this time, the internal
thread section 132 can be gradually screwed to the top of the external thread section
1123, so that the movable member 13 is separated from the mounting portion 112. The
term "top" as used herein refers to the end of each part of the electronic cigarette
vaping device 10 that is away from the sleeve 11 in the axial direction of the electronic
cigarette vaping device 10.
[0030] By providing the receiving groove 134, it is ensured that before the positioning
rib 133 is completely separated from the sliding groove 1124, the internal thread
section 132 and the external thread section 1123 will not contact with each other,
to prevent that when the internal thread section 132 is in contact with the external
thread section 1123, a portion of the positioning rib 133 is still located in the
corresponding sliding groove 1124, the positioning rib 133 cannot be further separated
from the sliding groove 1124, and the portion of the positioning rib 133 located in
the corresponding sliding groove 1124 interferes with the rotation of the internal
thread section 132 along the external thread section 1123, so that the movable member
13 cannot be separated from the mounting portion 112.
[0031] In the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of
the reserved section 1121 is not less than the length between the bottom of the movable
member 13 and the bottom of the positioning rib 133, so that the positioning rib 133
can slide in the sliding groove 1124 to the maximal extent. In this embodiment, the
internal thread section 132 is provided at the bottom of the movable member 13. In
the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the
reserved section 1121 is not less than the sum of the length of the internal thread
section 132 and the length of the receiving groove 134.
[0032] In the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of
the sliding groove 1124 is not less than the length between the bottom of the positioning
rib 133 and the bottom of the limiting plate 131, so that the heating member 122 can
pass through the limiting hole 1311 to the maximal extent and the heating member 122
is exposed to the maximal extent. In this embodiment, the top of the positioning rib
133 and the bottom of the limiting plate 131 are at the same position. In the axial
direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the sliding
groove 1124 is not less than the length of the positioning rib 133. It can be understood
that, in the case that the limiting plate 131 is not provided, in the axial direction
of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the sliding groove 1124
is not less than the length of the positioning rib 133, so that the positioning rib
133 does not affect the insertion of the tobacco product 20.
[0033] In the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of
the receiving groove 134 is greater than the length between the top of the sleeve
11 and the bottom of the external thread section 1123. When the internal thread section
132 is gradually screwed to the bottom of the external thread section 1123, the external
thread section 1123 gradually enters into the receiving groove 134. When the internal
thread section 132 is completely screwed to the bottom of the external thread section
1123, the threaded engagement between the internal thread section 132 and the external
thread section 1123 is released, and the external thread section 1123 is completely
received in the receiving groove 134, thereby providing a space for the positioning
rib 133 to align with the sliding groove 1124. After the positioning rib 133 is aligned
with the sliding groove 1124, the protruded positioning rib 133 gradually slides into
the corresponding sliding groove 1124. It is prevented that when the internal thread
section 132 is screwed to the bottom of the external thread section 1123, a portion
of the positioning rib 133 is still located in the corresponding sliding groove 1124,
the positioning rib 133 cannot be further separated from the sliding groove 1124,
and the portion of the positioning rib 133 located in the corresponding sliding groove
1124 interferes with the rotation of the internal thread section 132 along the external
thread section 1123, so that the movable member 13 cannot be separated from the sleeve
11.
[0034] When the positioning rib 133 slides into the sliding groove 1124, in the axial direction
of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length from the connecting end of
the sleeve 11 to the bottom of the limiting plate 131 is not less than the length
from the connecting end of the sleeve 11 to one end of the heating member 122 away
from the connecting end of the sleeve 11.
[0035] In this embodiment, in the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device
10, the length from the bottom of the positioning rib 133 to the bottom of the limiting
plate 131 is not less than the length from the top of the sleeve 11 to the top of
the heating member 122, so that before the positioning rib 133 is separated from the
sliding groove 1124, the heating member 122 is already completely retracted from the
limiting hole 1311, to prevent that when the movable member 13 rotates relative to
the sleeve 11, the heating member 122 is damaged due to not being completely retracted
from the limiting hole 1311. Specifically, the bottom of the heating member 122 and
the top of the sleeve 11 are at the same position, the top of the positioning rib
133 and the bottom of the limiting plate 131 are at the same position. In the axial
direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the positioning
rib 133 is not less than the length of the heating member 122. It can be understood
that, in the case that the limiting plate 131 is not provided, in the axial direction
of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the sliding groove 1124
is not less than the length of the positioning rib 133, so that the positioning rib
133 does not affect the insertion of the tobacco product 20.
[0036] In use, the tobacco product 20 is placed on the heating member 122, the heating member
122 heats and atomizes the tobacco product 20 to form smoke.
[0037] Installation process: when the user needs to install the movable member 13 on the
sleeve 11, the internal thread section 132 of the movable member 13 is gradually screwed
to the bottom of the external thread section 1123, and the external thread section
1123 gradually enters into the receiving groove 134; when the internal thread section
132 is completely screwed to the bottom of the external thread section 1123, the external
thread section 1123 is completely received in the receiving groove 134, and at this
time, the positioning rib 133 is caused to align with the corresponding sliding groove
1124; after the positioning rib 133 is aligned with the sliding groove 1124, the protruded
positioning rib 133 gradually slides into the corresponding sliding groove 1124. Before
the positioning rib 133 slides into the corresponding sliding groove 1124, the heating
member 122 does not extend into the limiting hole 1311; since the inner diameter of
the movable member 13 is greater than the outer diameter of the mounting portion 112,
the inner surface of the movable member 13 will not contact the outer surface of the
external thread section 1123 during the sliding process, and the heating member 122
gradually passes through the limiting hole 1311; when the positioning rib 133 completely
slides into the sliding groove 1124, the heating member 122 completely passes through
the limiting hole 1311, so that the heating member 122 is exposed to the maximal extent,
and the user can firmly put the tobacco product 20 on the heating member 122 located
in the atomizing chamber 1313.
[0038] In use: when the user needs to separate the tobacco product 20 from the heating member
122, the movable member 13 slides along the axial direction of the electronic cigarette
vaping device 10 in a direction the direction away from the sleeve 11, the positioning
rib 133 gradually separates from the sliding groove 1124, the external thread section
1123 gradually enters into the receiving groove 134; at this time, the heating member
122 gradually retracts from the limiting hole 1311, and the tobacco product 20 on
the heating member 122 gradually resists the top surface of the limiting plate 131.
When the positioning rib 133 completely separates from the sliding groove 1124 and
the external thread section 1123 is completely received in the receiving groove 134,
the heating member 122 is completely retracted from the limiting hole 1311, the limiting
plate 131 separates the tobacco product 20 and the heating member 122, the tobacco
product 20 is separated from the heating member 122, and the tobacco product 20 can
be taken out of the atomizing chamber 1313. When the user needs to clean the dirt
on the heating member 122, the internal thread section 132 is screwed gradually to
the top of the external thread section 1123, so that the movable member 13 is gradually
separated from the mounting portion 112; at this time, since the movable member 13
is arranged outside the heating member 122, the movable member 13 can prevent the
heating member 122 from being damaged when the heating member 122 is gradually exposed
to the outside after retracting from the limiting hole 1311. When the heating member
122 is completely exposed to the outside, the user can clean the dirt on the heating
member 122 and the scraps of the tobacco product 20 at the bottom of the heating member
122.
[0039] In the electronic cigarette vaping device 10 of the present disclosure or the electronic
cigarette using the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the movable member 13 is
detachably connected to one end of the sleeve 11 adjacent to the heating structure
12, the mounting frame 121 is mounted on one end of the sleeve 11, the heating member
122 is protruded from one end of the mounting frame 121 away from the sleeve 11, the
limiting plate 131 is provided on the inner surface of the movable member 13, the
limiting plate 131 is provided with a limiting hole 1311 corresponding to the heating
member 122. When the movable member 13 is connected to the sleeve 11, the tobacco
product 20 can be placed on the heating member 122 passing through the limiting hole
1311. When it is required to take out the tobacco product 20 located in the movable
member 13, the movable member 13 is caused to slide, when the heating member 122 retracts
from the limiting hole 1311, the tobacco product 20 resists on the limiting plate
131 and is separated from the heating member 122. Then, the heating member 122 is
taken out from the movable member 13, the movable member 13 maintains a connection
relationship with the sleeve 11. The movable member 13 prevents the heating member
122 from being damaged when the heating member 122 is exposed to the outside. For
the user's normal need to take out the tobacco product 20 and prevent damage to the
heating member, the user only needs to slide the movable member 13, which is a low-risk
routine operation. When it is required to clean the heating member 122 and the scraps
of the tobacco product 20 at the bottom of the heating member 122, the movable member
13 is further rotated until it is completely separated from the sleeve 11, the heating
member 122 and the bottom of the heating member 122 are at least partially exposed
to the outside; at this time, it is convenient for the user to clean the heating member
122 and the scraps of the tobacco product 20 at the bottom of the heating member 122.
In addition to the normal need to take out the tobacco product 20, for users who want
to try to expose the heating member 122 so as to directly clean the heating member
122 and the scraps of the tobacco product 20 at the bottom of the heating member 122,
the user needs to further rotate the movable member 13 on the basis of sliding the
movable member 13 until the movable member 13 is completely separated from the sleeve
11. The two-step operation of sliding the movable member 13 and further rotating the
movable member 13 not only provides the user with the possibility of cleaning the
heating member 122 and the scraps of the tobacco product 20 at the bottom of the heating
member 122, but also increases the difficulty of the user to expose the heating member
122, increasing the difficulty of the operation can be used as a warning to the user
that the operation of exposing the heating member 122 may cause the heating member

Second embodiment
[0040] Please refer to FIG. 7 at the same time, the main difference between the electronic
cigarette vaping device 10 provided in the second embodiment of the present disclosure
and the electronic cigarette vaping device 10 in the first embodiment is as follows.
The movable member 13 includes a main body 111 arranged in the axial direction of
the movable member 13 and a mounting portion 112 located at the bottom of the main
body 111. The mounting portion 112 includes a reserved section 1121 connected with
the main body 111 and a sliding section 1122 configured for connecting with the sleeve
11. The outer surface of the sliding section 1122 is provided with an external thread
section 1123 along a circumferential direction of the sliding section 1122. The outer
surface of the sliding section 1122 is provided with at least one sliding groove 1124
extending along the axial direction of the mounting portion 112 and running through
the external thread section 1123. An internal thread section 132 corresponding to
the external thread section 1123 is provided on the inner surface of one end of the
sleeve 11 along a circumferential direction of the sleeve 11. In this embodiment,
along the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, at least one
positioning rib 133 corresponding to the sliding groove 1124 is protruded from the
inner wall of the sleeve 11 at one side of the internal thread section 132 away from
the movable member 13. The inner wall of the sleeve 11 between the internal thread
section 132 and the positioning rib 133 is provided with a receiving groove 134 along
the circumferential direction of the sleeve 11.
[0041] In the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of
the reserved section 1121 is not less than the length between the top of the sleeve
11 and the top of the positioning rib 133, so that the positioning rib 133 can slide
in the sliding groove 1124 to the maximal extent. In this embodiment, the internal
thread section 132 is provided at the top of the sleeve 11, and in the axial direction
of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the reserved section 1121
is not less than the sum of the length of the internal thread section 132 and the
length of the receiving groove 134.
[0042] In the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of
the sliding groove 1124 is not less than the length of the positioning rib 133, so
that the heating member 122 can pass through the limiting hole 1311 to the maximal
extent and the heating member 122 is exposed to the maximal extent.
[0043] In the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of
the receiving groove 134 is greater than the length between the bottom of the movable
member 13 and the top of the external thread section 1123. When the internal thread
section 132 is gradually screwed to the top of the external thread section 1123, the
external thread section 1123 gradually enters into the receiving groove 134. When
the internal thread section 132 is completely screwed to the top of the external thread
section 1123, the threaded engagement between the internal thread section 132 and
the external thread section 1123 is released, the external thread section 1123 is
completely received in the receiving groove 134, thereby providing a space for the
positioning rib 133 to align with the sliding groove 1124. After the positioning rib
133 is aligned with the sliding groove 1124, the protruded positioning rib 133 gradually
slides into the corresponding sliding grooves 1124. It is prevented that when the
internal thread section 132 is screwed to the top of the external thread section 1123,
a portion of the positioning rib 133 is still located in the corresponding sliding
groove 1124, the positioning rib 133 cannot be further separated from the sliding
groove 1124, and the portion of the positioning rib 133 located in the corresponding
sliding groove 1124 interferes with the rotation of the internal thread section 132
along the external thread section 1123, so that the movable member 13 cannot be separated
from the sleeve 11.
[0044] In the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length from
the bottom of the sliding section 1122 to the bottom of the limiting plate 131 is
not less than the length from the top of the positioning rib 133 to the top of the
heating member 122, so that before the positioning rib 133 is separated from the sliding
groove 1124, the heating member 122 is already completely retracted from the limiting
hole 1311, to prevent that when the movable member 13 rotates relative to the sleeve
11, the heating member 122 is damaged due to not being completely retracted from the
limiting hole 1311. In this embodiment, the bottom of the heating member 122 and the
top of the sleeve 11 are at the same position, the top of the reserved section 1121
and the bottom of the limiting plate 131 are at the same position. In the axial direction
of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the mounting portion 112
is not less than the sum of the length of the receiving groove 134, the internal thread
section 132 and the heating member 122.
Third embodiment
[0045] Please refer to FIG. 8 at the same time, the main difference between the electronic
cigarette vaping device 10 provided in the third embodiment of the present disclosure
and the electronic cigarette vaping device 10 in the first embodiment is as follows.
The movable member 13 includes a main body 111 arranged in the axial direction of
the movable member 13 and a mounting portion 112 located at the bottom of the main
body 111. The mounting portion 112 includes a reserved section 1121 connected with
the main body 111 and a sliding section 1122 configured for connecting with the sleeve
11. The inner surface of the sliding section 1122 is provided with an internal thread
section 132 along a circumferential direction of the sliding section 1122. The inner
surface of the sliding section 1122 is provided with at least one sliding groove 1124
extending along the axial direction of the mounting portion 112 and running through
the internal thread section 132. An external thread section 1123 corresponding to
the internal thread section 132 is provided on the outer surface of one end of the
sleeve 11. In this embodiment, along the axial direction of the electronic cigarette
vaping device 10, at least one positioning rib 133 corresponding to the sliding groove
1124 is protruded from the outer wall of the sleeve 11 at one side of the external
thread section 1123 away from the movable member 13. The outer wall of the sleeve
11 between the external thread section 1123 and the positioning rib 133 is provided
with a receiving groove 134 along the circumferential direction of the sleeve 11.
[0046] In the axis of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length from the bottom
of the reserved section 1121 to the bottom of the limiting hole 1311 is not less than
the length from the top of the sleeve 11 to the top of the positioning rib 133, so
that the positioning rib 133 can slide in the sliding groove 1124 to the maximal extent.
In this embodiment, the external thread section 1123 is provided at the top of the
sleeve 11, and in the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10,
the length of the reserved section 1121 is not less than the sum of the length of
the external thread section 1123 and the length of the receiving groove 134.
[0047] In the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of
the sliding groove 1124 is not less than the length of the positioning rib 133, so
that the heating member 122 can pass through the limiting hole 1311 to the maximal
extent and the heating member 122 is exposed to the maximal extent. In this embodiment,
in the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of
the sliding groove 1124 is not less than the length of the positioning rib 133.
[0048] In the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of
the receiving groove 134 is greater than the length between the bottom of the movable
member 13 and the top of the internal thread section 132. When the internal thread
section 132 is gradually screwed to the bottom of the external thread section 1123,
the internal thread section 132 gradually enters into the receiving groove 134. When
the internal thread section 132 is completely screwed to the bottom of the external
thread section 1123, the threaded engagement between the internal thread section 132
and the external thread section 1123 is released, the internal thread section 132
is completely received in the receiving groove 134, thereby providing a space for
the positioning rib 133 to align with the sliding groove 1124. After the positioning
rib 133 is aligned with the sliding groove 1124, the protruded positioning rib 133
gradually slides into the corresponding sliding groove 1124. It is prevented that
when the internal thread section 132 is completely screwed to the bottom of the external
thread section 1123, a portion of the positioning rib 133 is still located in the
corresponding sliding groove 1124, the positioning rib 133 cannot be further separated
from the sliding groove 1124, and the portion of the positioning rib 133 located in
the corresponding sliding groove 1124 interferes with the rotation of the internal
thread section 132 along the external thread section 1123, so that the movable member
13 cannot be separated from the sleeve 11.
[0049] In the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length from
the bottom of the movable member 13 to the bottom of the limiting plate 131 is not
less than the length from the top of the positioning rib 133 to the top of the heating
member 122, so that before the positioning rib 133 is separated from the sliding groove
1124, the heating member 122 is already completely retracted from the limiting hole
1311, to prevent that when the movable member 13 rotates relative to the sleeve 11,
the heating member 122 is damaged due to not being completely retracted from the limiting
hole 1311. In this embodiment, the bottom of the heating member 122 and the top of
the sleeve 11 are at the same position, and the top of the mounting portion 112 and
the bottom of the limiting plate 131 are at the same position. In the axial direction
of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the mounting portion 112
is greater than the sum of the length of the receiving groove 134, the external thread
section 1123 and the heating member 122.

member 13 and the bottom of the positioning rib 133, so that the positioning rib 133
can slide in the sliding groove 1124 to the maximal extent. In this embodiment, the
external thread section 1123 is provided at the bottom of the movable member 13, and
in the axial direction of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of
the reserved section 1121 is not less than the sum of the length of the external thread

[0053] In the axis of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the receiving
groove 134 is greater than the length from the top of the sleeve 11 to the bottom
of the internal thread section 132. When the internal thread section 132 is gradually
screwed to the top of the external thread section 1123, the internal thread section
132 gradually enters into the receiving groove 134. When the internal thread section
132 is completely screwed to the top of the external thread section 1123, the threaded
engagement between the internal thread section 132 and the external thread section
1123 is released, the internal thread section 132 is completely received in the receiving
groove 134, thereby providing a space for the positioning rib 133 to align with the
sliding groove 1124. After the positioning rib 133 is aligned with the sliding groove
1124, the protruded positioning rib 133 gradually slides into the corresponding sliding
groove 1124. It is prevented that when the internal thread section 132 is completely
screwed to the top of the external thread section 1123, a portion of the positioning
rib 133 is still located in the corresponding sliding groove 1124, the positioning
rib 133 cannot be further separated from the sliding groove 1124, and the portion
of the positioning rib 133 located in the corresponding sliding groove 1124 interferes
with the rotation of the internal thread section 132 along the external thread section
1123, so that the movable member 13 cannot be separated from the sleeve 11.
[0054] In the axis of the electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length from the bottom
of the positioning rib 133 to the bottom of the limiting plate 131 is not less than
the length from the top of the sleeve 11 and the top of the heating member 122, so
that before the positioning rib 133 is separated from the sliding groove 1124, the
heating member 122 is already completely retracted from the limiting hole 1311, to
prevent that when the movable member 13 rotates relative to the sleeve 11, the heating
member 122 is damaged due to not being completely retracted from the limiting hole
1311. In this embodiment, the bottom of the heating member 122 and the top of the
sleeve 11 are at the same position, the top of the positioning rib 133 and the bottom
of the limiting plate 131 are at the same position. In the axial direction of the
electronic cigarette vaping device 10, the length of the positioning rib 133 is not
