Abstract

An electronic cigarette includes: an atomizing assembly adapted to atomize liquid, a battery rod assembly adapted to supply power to the atomizing assembly, and a liquid storage device adapted to store the liquid; a first screw section and a second screw section are respectively provided at two ends of the atomizing assembly, and a turning direction of the first screw section is opposite to a turning direction of the second screw section. The turning direction of the first screw section is opposite to that of the second screw section. Thus, when the electronic cigarette is under an external screwing force in a certain direction, either the battery rod assembly or the liquid storage device may be unscrewed and taken out, which effectively avoid a mis-operation.

Claims (49)

1. An electronic cigarette, comprising:

an atomizing assembly adapted to atomize liquid, a battery rod assembly adapted to supply power to the atomizing assembly, and a liquid storage device adapted to store the liquid;

wherein a first screw section and a second screw section are respectively provided at two ends of the atomizing assembly, and a turning direction of the first screw section is opposite to a turning direction of the second screw section;

a fume suction end and a third screw section matched with the first screw section are respectively provided at two ends of the battery rod assembly; and

a fourth screw section matched with the second screw section is provided at an open end of the liquid storage device; and

wherein the liquid storage device is provided at an end of a body of the electronic cigarette away from the fume suction end.

2. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein each of the screw sections is a thread section or a swivel coupler section.

3. The electronic cigarette according to claim 2 , wherein the atomizing assembly and the battery rod assembly are coaxially arranged.

4. The electronic cigarette according to claim 2 , wherein the atomizing assembly further comprises:

an atomizer holder;

an atomizer electrode fixed inside the first screw section and electronically connected with an electric heating wire assembly;

an insulating ring provided between the first screw section and the atomizer electrode; and

an atomizer sleeve provided on the atomizer holder, wherein the liquid conveyer is provided inside the atomizer sleeve.

5. The electronic cigarette according to claim 2 , wherein, the battery rod assembly comprises:

a battery sleeve;

a battery contained in the battery sleeve;

a battery holder provided inside the battery sleeve and adapted to fix the battery; and

a battery electrode provided at an end of the battery holder and connected with the battery and an atomizer electrode.

6. The electronic cigarette according to claim 2 , wherein the liquid storage device is a transparent container with scales.

7. The electronic cigarette according to claim 2 , wherein a fume passage adapted to communicate the fume suction end with an air intake is provided inside the battery rod assembly;

the air intake is provided on a contact surface of the atomizing assembly and the liquid storage device; or

the air intake is provided on an outer wall of the atomizing assembly.

8. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein the atomizing assembly and the battery rod assembly are coaxially arranged.

9. The electronic cigarette according to claim 8 , wherein the atomizing assembly comprises:

an electric heating wire assembly adapted to atomize the liquid; and

a liquid conveyer adapted to convey the liquid in the liquid storage device to the electric heating wire assembly for atomization.

10. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein the atomizing assembly further comprises:

an atomizer holder;

an atomizer electrode fixed inside the first screw section and electronically connected with an electric heating wire assembly;

an insulating ring provided between the first screw section and the atomizer electrode; and

an atomizer sleeve provided on the atomizer holder, wherein a liquid conveyer is provided inside the atomizer sleeve.

11. The electronic cigarette according to claim 10 , wherein

a plurality of liquid conveying holes are provided on a side wall of the atomizing sleeve; and

a liquid storage cotton column is provided at an inner side of the liquid conveying holes and adapted to convey the liquid in the liquid storage device to the atomizing sleeve.

12. The electronic cigarette according to claim 10 , wherein a sealing ring adapted to seal the liquid storage device is provided at a joint of the atomizer holder and the liquid storage device.

13. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein, the battery rod assembly comprises:

a battery sleeve;

a battery contained in the battery sleeve;

a battery holder provided inside the battery sleeve and adapted to fix the battery; and

a battery electrode provided at an end of the battery holder and connected with the battery and an atomizer electrode.

14. The electronic cigarette according to claim 13 , wherein a suction nozzle, provided as a fume suction end, is connected with the battery sleeve in a removable manner.

15. The electronic cigarette according to claim 13 , wherein an annular sealing plug with a through hole is sealingly engaged with the open end of the liquid storage device; and

a pierceable film is provided inside a liquid conveying hole of the annular sealing plug and adapted to seal the through hole.

16. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid storage device is a transparent container with scales.

17. The electronic cigarette according to claim 16 , wherein the liquid storage device is a glass bottle with scales.

18. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein a sealing ring is provided at a joint of the first screw section of the atomizing assembly and the third screw section of the battery rod assembly.

19. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein a fume passage adapted to communicate the fume suction end with an air intake is provided inside the battery rod assembly;

the air intake is provided on a contact surface of the atomizing assembly and the liquid storage device; or

the air intake is provided on an outer wall of the atomizing assembly.
