    Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD



    [0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of electronic cigarettes, and in particular to an atomization member and an electronic cigarette having the same.

    BACKGROUND



    [0002] Electronic cigarette in existing technologies generally includes an atomization assembly and a battery assembly. One end of the atomization assembly is provided with a first electrode for electrical connection with the battery assembly. Inside the first electrode are sleeved an insulating ring and a second electrode in sequence. The atomization assembly is internally provided with an electric heating wire, a first end of which electric heating wire is electrically connected to the second electrode, and a second end of which electric heating wire is connected to the first electrode. The second electrode defines a through hole. The first end of the electric heating wire is welded to the end surface of the second electrode. In such a structure, since the through hole on the second electrode extends along the axial direction, the through hole is easy to be plugged by solder tin when the lead of the electric heating wire is welded.

    [0003] In order to solve the above technical problem, those skilled in the art design an electronic cigarette, which includes an atomization assembly, a first electrode and a second electrode that are inserted into an end part of the atomization assembly. The atomization assembly accommodates an electric heating wire for atomizing an e-liquid, a first lead and a second lead in electrical connection with the electric heating wire. The second electrode includes an extension portion stretching into the atomization assembly, the second lead is electrically connected to the extension portion, and the first lead is electrically connected to the first electrode. The extension portion defines on a side surface thereof at least one first through hole for air to flow, so that the likeliness of hole plugging can be reduced when the second lead is electrically connected to the second electrode through welding. However, in order to avoid hole plugging, the used solder is less when welding, which is not convenient for welding, and the welding is not firm, so the service life is short.
    WO2015109540 A1 relates to an electronic cigarette and an atomisation assembly and a power source assembly thereof. WO2018141106 A1 relates to an electronic cigarette comprising an atomizing assembly and a battery rod assembly. CN203676143 U relates to an electronic cigarette and an atomization assembly and a power supply assembly thereof. CN209106324 U relates to a printing heating body atomizer which comprises a hollow atomizing sleeve.

During smoking, an aerosol formed by e-liquid atomization is discharged from the air outlet 111 for the user to inhale.

    [0029] The separation sleeve 11 includes an air tube 12 and a fixing seat 13, the air tube 12 includes a first end and a second end which are arranged opposite to each other, the air tube 12 is inserted into the e-liquid storage sleeve 10, the first end of the air tube 12 is connected to the e-liquid storage sleeve 10, and the second end of the air tube 12 is connected to the fixing seat 13. The air tube 12 forms therein the air channel b, the air channel b is communicated with the air outlet 111, between the air tube 12 and the e-liquid storage sleeve 10 is formed the e-liquid storage cavity a, that is, the e-liquid storage cavity a is arranged surrounding the air tube 12, and the e-liquid storage cavity a is configured for storing the e-liquid. The air tube 12 defines an e-liquid outlet 120 at a position corresponding to the atomizing core 2, to discharge the e-liquid inside the e-liquid storage cavity a to the atomizing core 2.

    [0030] The air tube 12 includes a first vent section 121, a second vent section 122 and a connecting section 123; the connecting section 123 is located between the first vent section 121 and the second vent section 122 and is connected to the first vent section 121 and the second vent section 122, and the second vent section 122 has a section area bigger than that of the first vent section 121. It is understandable that in some embodiments the air tube 12 is formed by a first vent section 121 and a second vent section 122 that are directly connected, wherein the first vent section 121 and the second vent section 122 have a same section area.

    [0031] The fixing seat 13 is arranged covering a cavity opening of the e-liquid storage cavity a and is connected to the e-liquid storage sleeve 10. The air tube 12 and the fixing seat 13 are a one-piece structure shaped by injection in a mold, wherein the air tube 12 is a part made of a metallic material, and the fixing seat 13 is a part made of a non-metallic material. That is to say, during preparation, place the metallic air tube 12 in an injection mold, and shape the fixing seat 13 through injection into the mold, so that the air tube 12 and the fixing seat 13 become a one-piece structure. Preferably, the air tube 12 is a stainless steel part, and the fixing seat 13 is a plastic part; therefore, not only good tightness is achieved, but the air tube 12 is not easy to be impacted by the e-liquid. It is understandable that the air tube 12 may be a part made of other metallic materials, and the fixing seat 13 may be a part made of other non-metallic materials.

    [0032] The fixing seat 13 defines an installing recess 131 and an e-liquid filling hole 132, wherein the installing recess 131 is located at a surface of the fixing seat 13 away from the e-liquid storage cavity a, and the installing recess 131 has a side wall defining a buckling groove 133. The e-liquid filling hole 132 is communicated with the e-liquid storage cavity a and the installing recess 131. It is understandable that the position of the e-liquid filling hole 132 is not specifically limited here as long as the e-liquid storage body 1 defines the e-liquid filling hole 132. For example, the e-liquid filling hole 132 may be defined on the outside of the installing recess 131. The installing recess 131 is communicated with the air channel b.

    [0033] The e-liquid storage body 1 further includes a sealing ring 14, and the first end of the air tube 12 is connected to the sealing ring 14, so as to connect to the e-liquid storage sleeve 10 via the sealing ring 14. The second end of the air tube 12 is inserted into the fixing seat 13. Specifically, the sealing ring 14 defines an abutting groove 141 on an end face of one end thereof; the sealing ring 14 is inserted at least in part into the insertion slot 112, so that the sealing ring 14 is fixed through the insertion slot 112, which can better avoid e-liquid leakage. In the present embodiment, one end of the sealing ring 14 is inserted into the insertion slot 112, and the other end of the sealing ring 14 is located outside the insertion slot 112.

    [0034] It is understandable that in some embodiments the sealing ring 14 may be completely located inside the insertion slot 112. The first end of the air tube 12 is inserted into the abutting groove 141, and the second end of the air tube 12 is inserted into the fixing seat 13, which can better prevent leakage of e-liquid. It is understandable that the sealing ring 14 may be made of elastic materials such as silicone or polyurethane. In some embodiments, the abutting groove 141 may not be required, and the first end of the air tube 12 elastically presses against the end face of the sealing ring 14. Of course, the sealing ring 14 may not be required too, and the air tube 12 is directly connected to the e-liquid storage sleeve 10.

    [0035] The e-liquid storage body 1 further includes a second filter screen 15, the second filter screen 15 is inserted into the insertion slot 112 and is clamped between the sealing ring 14 and the e-liquid storage sleeve 10. The second filter screen 15 is configured to filter the large-particle aerosol discharged from the air tube 12, thereby preventing a user inhaling the large-particle aerosol and enabling a good user experience. The second filter screen 15 may be formed by weaving, or may be formed by stamping from a plate, which is not specifically limited here.

    [0036] The atomizing core 2 is inserted into the air tube 12 and is located inside the second vent section 122. Through the blocking of the connecting section 123, the atomizing core 2 can be prevented from being excessively inserted into the air tube 12, which facilitates assembling. The atomizing core 2 includes an e-liquid absorption element 21 and an electric heating element 22, wherein the e-liquid absorption element 21 is inserted into the air channel b, to absorb the e-liquid inside the e-liquid storage cavity a. The electric heating element 22 is in contact with the e-liquid absorption element 21, to atomize the e-liquid on the e-liquid absorption element 21. The electric heating element 22 is provided with a connecting pin 221. It is understandable that the e-liquid absorption element 21 may be a glass fiber string extending into the e-liquid storage cavity a, and the electric heating element 22 may be an electric heating wire wound on the glass fiber string. The e-liquid absorption element 21 may also be a fiber cotton wound into a tubular shape, the electric heating element 22 is an electric heating wire wound into a columnar shape, and the electric heating element 22 is inserted into the e-liquid absorption element 21. Therefore, the atomizing core 2 only needs to include the electric heating element 22 having the connecting pin 221, and the electric heating element 22 is used for atomizing at least part of the e-liquid supplied to the electric heating element 22 from the e-liquid storage cavity a. The structure of the atomizing core 2 is not specifically limited here. It is understandable that the position of the atomizing core 2 may be arranged as needed and the position is not specifically limited here.

    [0037] In the present embodiment, the e-liquid absorption element 21 includes a porous ceramic tube 211 and a cotton cloth 212 wound on outside of the porous ceramic tube 211. Through the cotton cloth 212, the e-liquid inside the e-liquid storage cavity a is absorbed to the porous ceramic tube 211. The electric heating element 22 includes an electric heating wire 220 and the connecting pin 221, wherein the electric heating wire 220 is inserted into the porous ceramic tube 211 and contacts an inner wall of the porous ceramic tube 211, thereby contacting the e-liquid absorption element 21. One end of the connecting pin 221 is connected to the electric heating wire 220, while the other end of the connecting pin 221 is laser welded to the electrode 4.

    [0038] The connecting seat 3 is provided with a buckling protrusion 31 on a peripheral surface thereof, the connecting seat 3 is inserted into the installing recess 131, and the buckling protrusion 31 is in buckled connection with the buckling groove 133, so that the connecting seat 3 is connected to the e-liquid storage body 1. The connecting seat 3 further define a through hole 32, a first air inlet 33, a first fixing recess 34, a second fixing recess 35 and a connecting column 36, wherein the connecting pin 221 passes through the through hole 32 to be welded to the electrode 4, the first air inlet 33 is communicated with the air channel b, thus, during smoking, air outside the atomization assembly can flow into the air channel b from the first air inlet 33 to bring the aerosol inside the air channel b out from the air outlet 111. The first air inlet 33 is arranged spaced from the electrode 4, which can better avoid the solder blocking the first air inlet 33. The second fixing recess 35 is located on a surface of the connecting seat 3 facing the e-liquid storage body, and a bottom wall of the second fixing recess 35 is provided with a supporting protrusion 351, wherein the supporting protrusion 351 may present a bar shape, a ring shape or a square shape, etc.

    [0039] The electrode 4 is fixed on an end face of the connecting seat 3, and through the electrode 4 the atomization assembly is connected to the battery assembly. During smoking, the battery assembly supplies power to the electric heating element 22 through the electrode 4. The electrode 4 defines a connecting hole 41 and a solder accommodating recess 42. A hole opening at one end of the connecting hole 41 is located in the solder accommodating recess 42, and at least part of the connecting pin 221 is inserted into the connecting hole 41 and welded to the electrode 4.

    [0040] As the electrode 4 is fixed on the end face of the connecting seat 3, the electrode 4 defines a connecting hole 41 and a solder accommodating recess 42, a hole opening at one end of the connecting hole 41 is located in the solder accommodating recess 42, and at least part of the connecting pin 221 is inserted into the connecting hole 41 and welded to the electrode 4, during welding, the solder accommodating recess 42 is used for containing solder, so that the solder is uneasy to flow out and easy to flow into the connecting hole 41, more solder can be applied to the surrounding of the connecting pin 221 to reduce the likeliness of rosin joint; therefore, the welding is firm and the service life is long. In addition, since the solder will not arbitrarily flow easily, the production is convenient.

    [0041] In the present embodiment, the electrode 4 presents a sheet shape and is arranged extending along and in an end face of the connecting seat 3, that is, the sheet shaped electrode 4 is arranged extending along a horizontal direction of the atomization assembly, which not only can increase the contact area when electrically connected to the battery assembly and avoid problems of unreliable electrical connection, but also can reduce the difficulty of manufacture. It is understandable that the electrode 4 may be plate shaped or bar shaped and the like. To well fix the electrode 4, the electrode 4 is inserted into the first fixing recess 34.

    [0042] The solder accommodating recess 42 is located on a surface of the electrode 4 away from the connecting seat 3 and extends towards another surface close to the connecting seat 3, and the connecting pin 221 passes through the connecting hole 41 and extends into the solder accommodating recess 42; therefore, during welding, the connecting pin 221 may be welded after the electrode 4 is assembled, thus the connection is reliable, and this avoids problems of unreliable connection due to the installation of the electrode 4 after the welding of the connecting pin 221. It is understandable that in some embodiments the solder accommodating recess 42 may be defined on the surface of the electrode 4 facing the connecting seat 3.

    [0043] A recess opening of the solder accommodating recess 42 is hole shaped and is bigger than the hole opening of the connecting hole 41. The solder accommodating recess 42 is arranged coaxial to the connecting hole 41; thus, during welding, the solder can be applied to the surrounding of the connecting pin 221, thereby enabling a secure connection. The electrode 4 is provided with a locating protrusion 43 at the hole opening of the connecting hole 41, and the locating protrusion 43 is inserted into the through hole 32, which facilitates locating during welding. In the present embodiment, the electrode 4 includes a main body made of a magnetic material and a protection layer located on a surface of the main body, and the electrode 4 is further configured for magnetic connection with the battery assembly. That is to say, besides power transmission, the electrode 4 is further configured for connection with the battery assembly, which can avoid problems in the prior art that the battery assembly is in reliable connection with the atomization assembly while the power transmission is not necessarily reliable. The magnetic material may be iron, cobalt, nickel and other materials. The protection layer may be a metallic layer, a metallic oxide layer and the like. In the present embodiment, the protection layer employs the material of gold, which can improve the conductivity. It is understandable that the material of the electrode 4 is not specifically limited here.

    [0044] The atomization assembly further includes a first filter screen 5 and a sealing plug 6. The first filter screen 5 is located between the atomizing core 2 and the connecting seat 3 and is inserted into the second fixing recess 35, for filtering the e-liquid leaking towards the first air inlet 33 and thus avoiding the e-liquid leaking to the battery assembly to cause a problem of short circuit of the battery assembly. An air exit of the first air inlet 33 is located on a bottom wall of the second fixing recess 35. The supporting protrusion 351 abuts against the first filter screen 5, which reduces the contact area between the first filter screen 5 and the connecting seat 3 and enables better filtering. Preferably, the supporting protrusion 351 is arranged surrounding the first air inlet 33, thus it can better support the filter screen and the contact area is less.

    [0045] The sealing plug 6 is located between the e-liquid storage body 1 and the connecting seat 3, and includes a cover body 61 and a column body 62; the cover body 61 is located in the installing recess 131 and defines a second air inlet 611; the second air inlet 611 corresponds to the positions of the first air inlet 33 and the air channel b, to import the air flowing from the first air inlet 33 to the air channel b. Herein, the fixing seat 13 defines a third air inlet (not shown) communicated with the second air inlet 611 and the air channel b respectively, so that the air can pass through in sequence the first air inlet 33, the second air inlet 611, the third air inlet and the air channel to be discharged from the air outlet 111 for a user to inhale. The column body 62 is located on one side of the cover body 61 away from the connecting seat 3 and is connected to the cover body 61. The column body 62 is inserted into the e-liquid filling hole 132, to better seal the e-liquid. During production, after the e-liquid storage body 1 is assembled, an e-liquid is filled into the e-liquid storage cavity a through the e-liquid filling hole 132. The production is convenient. The sealing plug 6 defines a connecting groove 63 passing through the cover body 61 and extending into the column body 62, and the connecting column 36 is inserted into the connecting groove 63, so that the sealing plug 6 achieves a better tightness and improves the sealing performance.

    [0046] Referring to FIG. 7, the present disclosure further provides an electronic cigarette, which includes an atomization assembly 100 and a battery assembly 200. The atomization assembly 100 is the one as described above, and the battery assembly 20 is electrically connected to the atomization assembly 100, to supply power to the atomization assembly 100. Since the atomization assembly 100 of the electronic cigarette is of the same structure as the above atomization assembly 100, it has the same technical effects.

    [0047] To summarize, since the air tube 12 and the fixing seat 13 are a one-piece structure shaped by injection in a mold, there is no need to arrange a sealing ring between the air tube 12 and the fixing seat 13 to seal the e-liquid. The structure is simple, not only cost is saved but e-liquid leakage is better avoided, it is convenient for automated production and the production efficiency is increased. Since the air tube 12 is a part made of a metallic material, it can better avoid generating thermal deformation to cause leakage of e-liquid when the atomizing core 2 atomizes the e-liquid and thus better guarantees the tightness.

    [0048] The present invention is defined by the appended claims.
