Electronic cigarette light cap and electronic cigarette using the same
View Patent ↗The invention discloses an electronic cigarette light cap and an electronic cigarette, wherein the electronic cigarette comprises cigarette holder and a cigarette pipe comprising a tube body and an electronic cigarette light cap, and the electronic cigarette light cap comprises a top cover, and a hollow and bottomless cap column perpendicularly extending along a back side of the top cover, forming an annular stage around the cap column; at least one air inlet hole is defined in a front side of the top cover, and the air inlet hole is communicating with the cap column; the air introduced from the air inlet hole gets into the atomizing passageway via the first gap, forming the airflow path. By implementing the electronic cigarette light cap and the electronic cigarette, the air flow may get retained to be unobstructed, smoking noise caused by obstructed airflow gets reduced, which improves the users' experience.
1. An electronic cigarette, comprising a cigarette holder and a cigarette pipe, wherein the cigarette pipe comprises a tube body ( 1 ) and an electronic cigarette light cap engaging with an end of the tube body ( 1 ), a first gap extending along an axial direction of the tube body ( 1 ) formed between the electronic cigarette light cap and the tube body ( 1 ) and configured for communicating the light cap with the tube body ( 1 ), and the first gap communicating with an atomizing passageway in the tube body ( 1 ),
wherein the light cap comprises a top cover ( 22 ), a hollow and bottomless cap column ( 21 ) perpendicularly extending along a back side of the top cover ( 22 ), and an annular stage is formed around the cap column ( 21 );
wherein the top cover ( 22 ) is an arc-shaped concavity recessing inwards the cap column ( 21 ); four air inlet holes ( 23 ) are defined in a front side of the top cover ( 22 ) and defined equidistantly and symmetrically with each other relative to the central axis of the top cover ( 22 ), and the air inlet holes ( 23 ) communicate with the cap column ( 21 ); air enters the atomizing passageway via the air inlet holes ( 23 ) and the first gap, and an airflow path is formed;
wherein the four air inlet holes ( 23 ) are defined to deviate from the central axis of the top cover ( 22 ), and a total area of the air inlet holes ( 23 ) is 2 mm 2 ˜8 mm 2 .
2. The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein an L-shaped connecting part connects the annular stage with the cap column ( 21 ).
3. The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of the cap column ( 21 ) is configured for tightly attaching to an inner surface of a tube body ( 1 ) of the electronic cigarette.
4. The electronic cigarette of claim 3 , wherein the top cover ( 22 ), the cap column ( 21 ), and the connecting part are formed by integral forming.
5. The electronic cigarette of the claim 1 , wherein each of the air inlet holes ( 23 ) is shaped as one of square, circle, triangle, polygon and kidney.
