Abstract

The invention relates to a sealing ring and an atomizer in an electronic cigarette. The sealing ring comprises a bottom cover portion, an outer wall portion which is perpendicular to the plane of the bottom cover and is extended axially from the periphery of the bottom cover, an inhalation hole which is through the central of the sealing ring, an inner wall portion which surrounds the inhalation hole, an circular recess which is located between the inner wall and the outer wall, and at least one reflow hole which is through both the bottom cover and the circular recess. If the sealing ring and the atomizer are adopted in the electronic cigarette, a condensed smoke liquid can reflow back into the atomizer via the sealing ring, and can be heated and further atomized again. The invention can improve efficiency in the use of smoke liquid.

Claims (26)

1. A sealing ring provided in an electronic cigarette, the sealing ring having an inhalation hole, wherein at least one reflow hole is through the sealing ring and is located between the inhalation hole and the periphery of the sealing ring; and

wherein the sealing ring further comprises:

a bottom cover portion;

an outer wall portion which is perpendicular to the plane of the bottom cover and is extended axially from the periphery of the bottom cover;

an inhalation hole which is through the central of the sealing ring;

an inner wall portion which surrounds the inhalation hole;

an circular recess which is located between the inner wall and the outer wall; and

at least one reflow hole is through both the bottom cover and the circular recess.

2. The sealing ring in the electronic cigarette according to claim 1 wherein the bottom cover is provided with a plurality of spaced reflow holes through the bottom cover and the circular recess.

3. The sealing ring in the electronic cigarette according to claim 2 , wherein the reflow holes are spaced evenly and distributed in the circular recess as same radial direction.

4. The sealing ring in the electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , Wherein the reflow holes can be one or more of the curved holes, circular holes, elliptical holes, or polygonal holes.

5. The sealing ring in the electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein the outer end surfaces of the outer wall and the inner wall are respectively configured with chamfered.

6. An atomizer in an electronic cigarette, the atomizer comprising:

a casing;

a sealing ring provided in the casing, the sealing ring having an inhalation hole;

a condensation cavity and a reservoir cavity of liquid smoke which are provided in the casing and respectively located at the two sides of the sealing ring, an oil absorption material provided in the reservoir cavity;

wherein at least one reflow hole through the sealing ring is provided between the inhalation hole and the periphery of the sealing ring, and the reflow hole is communicated with the reservoir cavity and the condensation cavity;

wherein the atomizer further comprises an external threaded sleeve, a positive electrode, an insulating ring, an atomization seat, an electric heating wire assembly, a snorkel, and an oil reservoir cotton;

wherein the external threaded sleeve, the positive electrode, the insulating ring, the atomization seat, the electric heating wire assembly, the snorkel, and the oil reservoir cotton are provided in sequence inside the casing, the sealing ring is provided at the bottom end of the oil reservoir cotton; and

wherein the atomizer further comprises a suction nozzle cover sheathed with an end of the casing which is away from the external threaded sleeve, the suction nozzle cover and the sealing ring form the condensation cavity; the reflow hole provided in the sealing ring is communicated with the oil reservoir cotton and the condensation cavity.

7. The atomizer in the electronic cigarette according to claim 6 , wherein the suction nozzle cover comprises a cover plate portion having a central hole, and an outer wall portion which is perpendicular to the plane of the cover plate and is extended axially from the periphery of the cover plate; the outer surface of the outer wall is sheathed with the inner surface of the casing; the suction nozzle further comprises an inner wall portion which surrounds the central hole, a second circular recess which is located between the inner wall and the outer wall of the suction nozzle cover, and the condensation cavity which is formed by the second circular recess and the sealing ring.

8. The atomizer in the electronic cigarette according to claim 6 , wherein the sealing ring comprises a bottom cover portion, an outer wall portion which is perpendicular to the plane of the bottom cover and is extended axially from the periphery of the bottom cover, an inhalation hole which is through the central of the sealing ring, an inner wall portion which surrounds the inhalation hole, an circular recess which is located between the inner wall and the outer wall, and at least one reflow hole which is through both the bottom cover and the circular recess.

9. The atomizer in the electronic cigarette according to claim 8 , the bottom cover of the sealing ring is provided with a plurality of spaced reflow holes through the bottom cover and the circular recess.

10. The atomizer in the electronic cigarette according to claim 9 , wherein the reflow holes are spaced evenly and distributed in the circular recess as same radial direction.

11. The atomizer in the electronic cigarette according to claim 10 , wherein the reflow holes can be one or more of the curved holes, circular holes, elliptical holes, or polygonal holes.

12. The atomizer in the electronic cigarette according to claim 8 , wherein the outer end surfaces of the outer wall and the inner wall of the sealing ring are respectively configured with chamfered to assist insertion into the casing and the snorkel.
