Abstract

An electronic cigarette includes a heating member; a sensor assembly includes an inductive chamber; a sensor arranged in the inductive chamber; and an airflow passage isolated from the sensor; wherein the heating member is arranged in the airflow passage.

Claims (24)

1. An electronic cigarette comprising:

a heating member;

a sensor assembly, comprising:

an inductive chamber;

a sensor arranged in the inductive chamber; and

an airflow passage isolated from the sensor;

wherein the heating member is arranged in the airflow passage.

2. The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the heating member is located outside of the inductive chamber, the inductive chamber has two ends, one end of the inductive chamber is a first open end, the other end of the inductive chamber opposite to the first open end is a first sealed end.

3. The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the electronic cigarette further comprises an air inlet in air communication with air outside of the electronic cigarette, wherein the airflow passage is in air communication with the air inlet.

4. The electronic cigarette of claim 3 , wherein the electronic cigarette further comprises a cigarette holder having an air suction port in air communication with the air outside of the electronic cigarette.

5. The electronic cigarette of claim 4 , wherein the sensor assembly further comprises a splitter plate and a shutoff piece, the splitter plate is arranged in the cigarette holder and divides an inner space of the cigarette holder into a first inner space and a second inner space; the shutoff piece is located at one end of the cigarette holder opposite to the air suction port; the first inner space and the shutoff piece together form the inductive chamber; the second inner space forms a connection port, the air suction port is in air communication with the connection port.

6. The electronic cigarette of claim 5 , wherein one end of the airflow passage opposite to the air inlet is in air communication with the connection port.

7. The electronic cigarette of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the splitter plate and the shutoff piece are integrally formed with the cigarette holder.

8. The electronic cigarette of claim 5 , wherein one end of the splitter plate adjacent to the air suction port extends into the air suction port, and divides the air suction port into a first air suction port and a second air suction port, the first air suction port is isolated from the second air suction port, the first air suction port is in air communication with the connection port, the second air suction port is in air communication with the inductive chamber.

9. The electronic cigarette of claim 4 , wherein the airflow passage further comprises a smoke outlet part and an air inlet part; the heating member is an open-ended and hollow structure; the heating member is in air communication with the air inlet part and the smoke outlet part; one end of the air inlet part opposite to the smoke outlet part is in air communication with the air inlet, one end of the smoke outlet part opposite to the air inlet part is in air communication with the air suction port.

10. The electronic cigarette of claim 4 , wherein the electronic cigarette further comprises a controller and a battery assembly, wherein the heating member and the battery assembly are electrically connected to the controller, the sensor is connected to the controller through signals.

11. The electronic cigarette of claim 10 , wherein the electronic cigarette further comprises a storage member configured to store the smoke liquid.

12. The electronic cigarette of claim 11 , wherein the electronic cigarette further comprises a housing, wherein the heating member, the controller, the battery assembly, the airflow passage, and the storage member are received in the housing.

13. The electronic cigarette of claim 12 , wherein one end of the cigarette holder opposite to the air suction port is coupled to the housing.

14. The electronic cigarette of claim 4 , wherein the sensor assembly is received in the cigarette holder.

15. The electronic cigarette of claim 12 , wherein one part of the sensor assembly is received in the cigarette holder, the other part of the sensor assembly is received in the housing.

16. The electronic cigarette of claim 12 , wherein the air inlet is located on the housing.

17. The electronic cigarette of claim 11 , wherein the heating member is in liquid communication with the storage member.

18. The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the sensor assembly further comprises a film arranged in the inductive chamber and located above the sensor.
