Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to electronic cigarettes, particularly to an atomizing device having a ventilation member and an electronic cigarette having the atomizing device.
  • An electronic cigarette generally includes an atomizing device and a power source electrically connected to the atomizing device.
  • the atomizing device includes a heating assembly atomizing a tobacco solution.
  • a typical atomizing device includes a liquid reserving member 14 wrapping around an air pipe 1' and configured for reserving a tobacco solution.
  • the heating assembly atomizes the tobacco solution absorbed from the liquid reserving member 14, then the atomized tobacco solution flows towards a user through the air pipe 1', thereby achieving a smoking effect.
  • the liquid reserving member 14 will cause a chemical reaction and finally influence a taste of the tobacco solution after the liquid reserving member 14 is immersed into the tobacco solution for a long time.
  • a ventilation member provided for an electronic cigarette in accordance with a first embodiment is provided.
  • the ventilation member includes an air pipe 1 and a flange 3 formed on the air pipe 1.
  • a cavity 32 is formed inside the flange 3 and in communication with an airflow channel 2 formed inside the air pipe 1.
  • the cavity 32 is configured to reserve and purify an atomized tobacco solution which flows from the air pipe 1.
  • the ventilation member is T-shaped, and an inclined surface 4 is formed between the flange 3 and the air pipe 1 for guiding the tobacco solution flowing towards the air pipe 1, thereby preventing the user from sucking the tobacco solution during smoking.
  • the inclined surface can be a curved surface or a streamline surface.
  • the flange 3 and the air pipe 1 are integrally formed. In other embodiments, the flange 3 and the air pipe 1 can be preformed separately, and then connected together by cementation.
  • the flange 3 and the air pipe 1 are made of plastic materials. In other embodiments, they can be made of metallic materials or other materials. In addition, the flange 3 and the air pipe 1 are manufactured by injection molding.
  • a ventilation member provided for an electronic cigarette in accordance with a second embodiment is provided.
  • the difference between the ventilation member of the present embodiment and that of the first embodiment is that a guiding wall 31 is further provided to extend downwards from the flange 3 along a direction parallel to the air pipe 1.
  • the guiding wall 31 increases a contacting area of the ventilation member and the atomizing sleeve 8, thus the ventilation member and the atomizing sleeve 8 can be assembled more conveniently.
  • a reinforcing rib 7 is formed on an outer wall of the air pipe 1 and a length of the reinforcing rib 7 is shorter than that of the air pipe 1.
  • a sealing ring 5 is arranged on an external surface of the flange 3.
  • an atomizing device 100 provided for an electronic cigarette in accordance with a third embodiment.
  • the atomizing device includes an atomizing sleeve 8, a mouthpiece 9, a support 11, a heating assembly 12, and a ventilation member (not shown) fixed in the atomizing sleeve 8.
  • the ventilation member is same to the one of the first embodiment.
  • An annular space 13 is formed between the air pipe 1 and the atomizing sleeve 8, and configured for containing a tobacco solution.
  • the annular space 13 does not have a liquid reserving member received therein.
  • the support 11 is ring-shaped, and has an inner space 16 defined therein.
  • the air pipe 1 is fixed on the support 11, and a sealing cover 10 is arranged on the support 11.
  • the heating assembly 12 is positioned under the support 11.
  • a slot 15 is formed between an outer wall of the support 11 and an inner wall of the sleeve 8 to allow the tobacco solution to flow towards the heating assembly 12.
  • the inner space 16 of the support 11 forms an atomizing chamber for the heating assembly 12 and is in communication with the air pipe 1.
  • the ventilation member is fixed in the atomizing sleeve 8 based on interference fit between the flange 3 and the atomizing sleeve 8.
  • a guiding wall 31 extends downwards from the flange 3 along a direction parallel to the air pipe 1, and a sealing ring 5 is arranged at an external surface of the flange 3.
  • the flange 3 and the air pipe 1 are both made of plastic materials. As plastic materials will be expanded after injection molding, it will be hard to ensure an interference fit between the flange 3 and the atomizing sleeve 8, therefore, the sealing ring 5 can ensure that the tobacco solution will not be leaked out.
  • an atomizing device 200 for an electronic cigarette in accordance with a fourth embodiment is provided.
  • the atomizing device of the fourth embodiment further includes a reinforcing rib 7 arranged at an outer wall of an air pipe 1.
  • a length of the reinforcing rib 7 is defined shorter than that of the air pipe 1 in helpful of assembling the air pipe 1 to the atomizing sleeve 8,.
  • the bottom of the air pipe 1 is inserted into a sealing cover 10, and the reinforcing rib 7 is fixed on the top of the sealing cover 10.
  • the electronic cigarette 300 includes an atomizing device 100(200) and a battery assembly 400 electrically connected to the atomizing device 100(200)
