Abstract

The present invention relates to a cigarette smoking device having an electronic atomization function, including a cigarette holder and an electronic atomization component cooperatively assembled with one another, wherein the cigarette holder includes a cigarette holding cavity and an optional end cap for closing the open end of a shell; the electronic atomization component includes the shell and the following components located in the shell: a power supply, an airflow sensor switch and an atomizer provided with a central airflow channel; the cigarette holding cavity is in air communication with the central airflow channel of the atomizer; the cigarette smoking device further includes an airflow sensor switch air inlet penetrating the shell and/or the end cap of the cigarette holder. Also provided is a method for improving cigarette smoking quality, the method includes smoking after mainstream smoke generated by an end-lighting cigarette, dilution air and atomization vapor are mixed.

Claims (18)

1. A cigarette smoking device having an electronic atomization function, comprising a cigarette holder and an electronic atomization component cooperatively assembled with one another; wherein the cigarette holder comprises a cigarette holding cavity and an optional end cap; the electronic atomization component comprises a shell, wherein the shell includes a power supply, an airflow sensor switch and an atomizer provided with a central airflow channel; the optional end cap is used for closing an open end of the shell when in existence; the cigarette holding cavity is in air communication with the central airflow channel of the atomizer; the cigarette smoking device further comprises an airflow sensor switch air inlet penetrating the shell and/or the optional end cap of the cigarette holder, the airflow sensor switch air inlet is in air communication with the central airflow channel of the atomizer through the airflow sensor switch.

2. The cigarette smoking device having the electronic atomization function according to claim 1 , wherein the shell is divided into two cavities, wherein a first cavity accommodates the atomizer, and a second cavity accommodates the power supply and the airflow sensor switch; wherein the atomizer comprises an electric heating wire, a liquid storing cavity for storing a liquid to be atomized, and a liquid guiding device for guiding the liquid to be atomized to the electric heating wire.

3. The cigarette smoking device having the electronic atomization function according to claim 2 , wherein the electric heating wire is located in the central airflow channel; independently, the liquid guiding device is a liquid guiding rope or a liquid guiding pipe.

4. The cigarette smoking device having the electronic atomization function according to claim 1 , wherein the cigarette holding cavity of the cigarette holder is provided with a variable-diameter holding device therein to hold cigarettes with variable diameters, wherein the variable-diameter holding device is selected from a group consisting of a plurality of overlapping washers successively reduced in diameter from an opening of the cigarette holding cavity, a spring clamping head, and a multiple-jaw chuck holder.

5. The cigarette smoking device having the electronic atomization function according to claim 2 , wherein the airflow sensor switch air inlet is located on a side surface or an end surface of a portion of the shell surrounding the second cavity.

6. The cigarette smoking device having the electronic atomization function according to claim 1 , the airflow sensor switch and the atomizer are both electrically connected to the power supply, an electric connection way therebetween enables the airflow sensor switch to control the atomizer to be electrified or not.

7. The cigarette smoking device having an electronic atomization function according to claim 2 , wherein the cigarette holding cavity of the cigarette holder is provided with a variable-diameter holding device therein to hold cigarettes with variable diameters, wherein the variable-diameter holding device is selected from a group consisting of a plurality of overlapping washers successively reduced in diameter from an opening of the cigarette holding cavity, a spring clamping head, and a multiple-jaw chuck holder.

8. The cigarette smoking device having an electronic atomization function according to claim 1 , the airflow sensor switch and the atomizer are both electrically connected to the power supply, an electric connection way therebetween enables the airflow sensor switch to control the atomizer to be electrified or not.

9. A method for improving cigarette smoking quality, comprising:

mixing a mainstream smoke generated by an end-lighting cigarette, a dilution air and an atomization vapor to form a mixture; and

smoking the mixture;

wherein the method is realized by using a cigarette smoking device having an electronic atomization function, wherein the cigarette smoking device comprising a cigarette holder and an electronic atomization component cooperatively assembled with one another; wherein the cigarette holder comprises a cigarette holding cavity and an optional end cap; the electronic atomization component comprises a shell and the following components located in the shell: a power supply, an airflow sensor switch and an atomizer provided with a central airflow channel; the optional end cap is used for closing an open end of the shell when in existence; the cigarette holding cavity is in air communication with the central airflow channel of the atomizer; the cigarette smoking device further comprises an airflow sensor switch air inlet penetrating the shell and/or the optional end cap of the cigarette holder, the airflow sensor switch air inlet is in air communication with the central airflow channel of the atomizer through the airflow sensor switch.

10. The method for improving the cigarette smoking quality according to claim 9 , wherein the mainstream smoke is mixed with the dilution air and the atomization vapor after leaving the end-lighting cigarette; wherein the atomization vapor contains one or more selected from the group consisting of a flavoring substance, a traditional Chinese medicine extract and a humectant.

11. The method for improving the cigarette smoking quality according to claim 9 , wherein the atomizer evaporates a liquid to be atomized in a temperature range of 150° C. to 350° C. to obtain the atomization vapor.

12. The method for improving the cigarette smoking quality according to claim 9 , wherein the shell is divided into two cavities, wherein the first cavity accommodates the atomizer, and the second cavity accommodates the power supply and the airflow sensor switch; the atomizer comprises an electric heating wire, a liquid storing cavity for storing a liquid to be atomized, and a liquid guiding device for guiding the liquid to be atomized to the electric heating wire.

13. The method for improving the cigarette smoking quality according to claim 9 , wherein the electric heating wire is located in the central airflow channel; independently, the liquid guiding device is a liquid guiding rope or a liquid guiding pipe.

14. The method for improving the cigarette smoking quality according to claim 9 , wherein the cigarette holding cavity of the cigarette holder is provided with a variable-diameter holding device therein to hold cigarettes with variable diameters, wherein the variable-diameter holding device is selected from a group consisting of a plurality of overlapping washers successively reduced in diameter from an opening of the cigarette holding cavity, a spring clamping head, and a multiple-jaw chuck holder.

15. The method for improving the cigarette smoking quality according to claim 9 , wherein the airflow sensor switch air inlet is located on a side surface or an end surface of a portion of the shell surrounding the second cavity.
