A rotation guide protrusion 741 protrudes downward from the inner periphery of the fixing hole 740 and extends downward from the inner periphery of the fixing hole 740 by a predetermined length. (742) is formed. At this time, the position of the latching groove 742 corresponds to the set value of the voltage display unit 651 formed at the lower end of the body 650 of the power supply unit 600.

The rotation shaft 752 is protruded at the center of the upper surface of the control member 750 so as to penetrate the shaft hole 735 of the PCB support 730. A fitting protrusion 753 is formed at the tip of the rotation shaft 752, And is engaged with the knob 721 of the voltage regulating device 720.

When the rotation shaft 752 is inserted into the shaft hole 735 of the PCB support 730, the rotation shaft 752 is fixed to the rotation shaft locking protrusion 736 formed at the inner periphery of the shaft hole 735.

In other words, the rotation shaft locking protrusion 736 has an upward inclined surface and an elastic force at its end, and an extension portion (not shown in the drawing) extending outward is formed at the upper end of the rotation shaft 752, The rotation shaft locking protrusion 736 is elastically opened by the extension when the rotation shaft 752 is inserted into the shaft hole 735 and the rotation shaft locking protrusion 736, which is elastically opened when the rotation shaft 752 is completely inserted into the shaft hole 735, The extension of the rotation shaft 752 is engaged with the rotation shaft locking projection, so that the rotation shaft 752 is not separated from the shaft hole 735.

The operation of the electronic cigarette thus constructed and coupled will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

When using the electronic cigarette, the user first inserts the nicotine concentrate or the cigarette flavored solution into the cartridge housing 300.

To this end, the user rotates the outer periphery of the coupler 100 fixed to the upper surface of the suction port 800 in the releasing direction while holding the outer periphery thereof.

The coupler 100 is separated from the cartridge housing 300 while the thread groove 112 is separated from the thread 221 formed at the upper end of the smoke moving part 220 of the separator 200 as the coupler 100 rotates.

Thereafter, a solution is supplied into the space between the inner periphery of the cartridge housing 300 and the smoke moving part 220 of the separator 200 so that a required amount of solution is stored inside the cartridge housing 300, The separated coupler 100 is rotated again in the locking direction to couple the screw groove 112 of the coupler 100 and the screw thread 221 of the smoke moving part 220 to each other.

The gap between the coupler 100 and the separator 200 is gradually narrowed in the process of coupling the smoke moving part 220 and the coupler 100. The gap between the coupler 100 and the separator 200 is gradually narrowed, The upper and lower ends of the housing 300 are respectively inserted into the fitting groove 120 of the coupler 100 and the fitting groove 230 of the coupling part 210, It is possible to effectively prevent the solution stored inside the cartridge housing 300 from flowing out of the cartridge housing 300 as it is sufficiently pressed against the airtightness holding members 130 and 240. [

The solution supplied to the inside of the cartridge housing 300 flows naturally through the solution inlet hole 223 located below the smoke moving part 220 of the separator 200 and then flows into the coupling part 210 of the separator 200 And then flows into the wick 430 through the solution supply hole 411 of the smoke discharging unit 410. The wick 410 is then supplied to the wick 430. [

Therefore, it is not necessary to tilt the electronic cigarette to supply the solution to the cartridge housing 300 and to absorb the solution into the core 430, and a burning odor is generated through the vaporization process in the state where the solution is not absorbed into the core 430 Can be prevented.

After the solution is supplied to the cartridge housing 300 as described above, when the switch 610 of the power supply unit 600 is operated in a predetermined pattern, power is supplied to the coil 440 through the power supply unit 600, (440) is heated, the solution supplied to the core (430) is vaporized.

The present invention is configured such that a plurality of wicks 430 are stacked in a state of intersecting each other so that the solution supplied to each wick 430 is vaporized according to the heat generated by the coil 440 wound around each wick 430 The solution can be effectively vaporized even at a low voltage.

In addition, when the wicks are formed in a parallel shape in a simple manner as in the prior art, foreign matter due to vaporization of the solution is easily accumulated between adjacent wicks. However, in the present invention, a plurality of wicks 430 are arranged vertically It is possible to effectively prevent the foreign matter from accumulating between the wick 430 and the wick 430 during the vaporization process and to improve the durability of the wick 430 to further prolong the replacement period.

When the solution supplied to the wick 430 is vaporized by the heat generated by the coil 440, the smoke generated in the vaporization process is discharged to the smoke outlet 410 of the vaporizer 400 according to the suction force of the user through the inlet port 800 And the smoke moving part 220 of the separator 200 and then through the air hole 110 of the coupler 100 and sucked into the airway of the user through the suction port 800.

In addition, the voltage regulation range is set to a value indicated in the voltage display section 651, for example, 3.3 V, which is a saving mode providing a smaller amount of vaporization, 3.8 V, a general mode providing a general vaporization amount, The control unit 640 is set to a voltage of 4.2 V which is a boosting mode and 4.8 V which is a maximum mode which provides a maximum amount of vaporization and is controlled according to a value input by the voltage regulator 720 by the rotation of the regulator 750, The amount of evaporation can be appropriately used for each mode by controlling the value of the current applied to the coil 440 of the coil 440 while variously controlling the amount of heat generated by the coil 440.

The electronic cigarette having a plurality of wicks structured as described above is characterized in that the electronic cigarette has a coupler to which the suction port is connected, a separator to which the smoke moving part is coupled, a cartridge housing which is installed while keeping airtightness between the coupler and the separator, A vaporizer connected to the smoke moving part of the separator while being connected to the smoke moving part and having a plurality of wicks which are interdigitated with each other and wound around the coil, and a power source connected to the vaporizer and capable of controlling the coil And a power unit capable of controlling the amount of vaporization of the supplied solution in accordance with the exothermic control of the coil, thereby further improving the convenience of the user through effective control of the amount of vaporization using the regulator.

Although the present invention has been fully described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be noted that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the disclosed contents should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be determined by the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
