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.

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.

[0035] 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.

[0037] 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.

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.

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.

[0039] 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.

[0040] 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.

[0041] 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.

[0042] 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.

[0043] 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.

[0044] 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.

[0045] 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.

[0046] 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.

[0047] 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.

[0048] 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.
