Abstract

An electronic cigarette is provided comprising an atomizer, a battery rod and a connecting component configured to connect the battery rod and the atomizer, one end of the atomizer or the battery rod which is facing towards the connecting component protrudes to form a first connector, and a second connector is provided on the connecting component to be connected with the first connector through sheathing. The electronic cigarette of the present invention can prevent components inside the battery rod or the atomizer exposed to avoid potential risks.

Claims (13)

1. An electronic cigarette comprising an atomizer, a battery rod and a connecting component configured to connect the battery rod and the atomizer;

wherein one end of the atomizer or the battery rod which is facing towards the connecting component protrudes to form a first connector, and a second connector is provided on the connecting component to be connected with the first connector through sheathing;

wherein the connecting component further includes a connecting department having the same axis with the second connector, and an external thread is provided on the connecting department;

wherein the atomizer includes a first sleeve barrel and a first insertion piece embedded inside the first sleeve barrel and facing towards one end of the connecting component; the battery rod includes a second sleeve barrel and a second insertion piece embedded inside the second sleeve barrel and facing towards one end of the connecting component;

wherein the first connector and the first insertion piece are integrally formed or the first connector and the second insertion piece are integrally formed;

when the first connector and the first insertion piece are integrally formed, an internal thread is provided on the second insertion piece, the connecting department is connected with the second insertion piece through screwing;

when the first connector and the second insertion piece are integrally formed, an internal thread is provided on the first insertion piece, the connecting department is connected with the first insertion piece through screwing;

wherein a range of a length of a sheathing part of both the first connector and the second connector in an axial direction of the electronic cigarette is within 3 mm to 7 mm;

wherein a depth that the first insertion piece embedded into the first sleeve barrel and that the second insertion piece embedded into the second sleeve barrel is within 5 to 20 mm respectively; and

wherein the connecting department is connected with the first insertion piece or the second insertion piece by a threaded connection, the first connector and the second connector are connected by an interference fit.

2. The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the first connector is a cylinder or a cone whose diameter decreases gradually towards a free end of the first connector, a hole matched with the shape of the first connector is provided on the second connector, the first connector and the second connector are connected by an interference fit.

3. The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the second connector is a cylinder or a cone whose diameter decreases gradually towards a free end of the second connector, a hole matched with the shape of the second connector is provided on the first connector, the first connector and the second connector are connected by an interference fit.

4. The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the first insertion piece and the first sleeve barrel are connected by an interference fit; the second insertion piece and the second sleeve barrel are connected by an interference fit.
