Abstract

An electronic cigarette has a power device ( 1 ), a sensor ( 2 ), an atomizing core component and a liquid storage component ( 3 ). The atomizing core component includes an electric heater ( 5 ) and a liquid permeating component ( 6 ). The electric heater ( 5 ) has a through hole ( 51 ), the liquid storage component ( 3 ) has a channel ( 31 ), and the sensor ( 2 ) is connected with the through hole ( 51 ) and the channel ( 31 ) to form an airflow loop by the auxiliary air inlet. The liquid permeating component ( 6 ) is directly sleeved on the electric heater ( 5 ), so that the cigarette can adequately heat gasified smoke with uniform small drops. The electric heater ( 5 ) and the liquid storage component ( 3 ) are connected with the through hole ( 51 ) and the channel ( 31 ), so that the vapor generated by the atomizing process can be cooled.

Claims (25)

1 . An electronic cigarette comprising:

a power supply;

an sensor;

a liquid storage area;

a suction nozzle; and

an atomizing component, including an electric heater, and a liquid permeating component, wherein at least a portion of the electric heater and at least a portion of the liquid permeating component, in combination, form a first channel through which gas can flow.

2 . The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the electric heater comprises a coiled wire, and the first channel is formed in the direction of the axis of the coiled wire.

3 . The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the liquid permeating component is sleeved on the electric heater.

4 . The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , further comprising a liquid conducting component in fluidic contact with the liquid storage area and the liquid permeating component.

5 . The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , further comprising a second channel through the liquid storage area and through which gas can flow.

6 . The electronic cigarette of claim 5 , wherein the first channel and the second channel are in direct communication.

7 . The electronic cigarette of claim 5 , wherein at least a portion of the atomizing component is in at least a portion of the second channel.

8 . The electronic cigarette of claim 5 , wherein at least a portion of the electric heater and the liquid permeating component is in at least a portion of the second channel.

9 . The electronic cigarette of claim 5 , wherein the electric heater and the liquid permeating component is in at least a portion of the second channel.

10 . The electronic cigarette of claim 5 , wherein the electric heater and the liquid permeating component are not in the second channel.

11 . The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the first channel has a substantially circular cross-section having a diameter between 0.5 and 4 mm.

12 . The electronic cigarette of claim 4 , wherein the liquid conduction component is sleeved on the liquid permeating component,

13 . The electronic cigarette of claim 12 , wherein the liquid conduction component further comprises a conduction extension that extends from one end of the liquid conduction component to the liquid storage area.

14 . (canceled)

15 . The electronic cigarette of claim 1 further including a housing having a first housing part and a second housing part, and wherein the first housing part includes the power supply and the sensor, and the second housing part includes the atomizing component and the liquid storage area.

16 . The electronic cigarette of claim 15 , where in the first housing part and the second housing part are selectively detachable.

17 . The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , with the atomizing component mounted on a bracket.

18 . The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the liquid storage area comprises porous ceramic, foamed ceramic, natural fiber, artificial fiber or foam metal material.

19 . The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the liquid permeating component comprises ceramic fiber, quartz fiber, glass fiber, aramid fiber, common fiber, paper, fabric or non-woven fabric material,

20 . The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the liquid permeating component comprises zeolite particles.
