Electronic cigarette, atomizer device thereof, method for assembling the atomizer device

1. A method for assembling an atomizer assembly for an electronic atomizer device, comprising:

providing a heating member and a liquid transport member, wherein the liquid transport member comprises a tubular liquid transport body and at least one couple of connecting portions connected together in a circumferential direction of the liquid transport body;

surrounding the liquid transport body around a periphery of the heating member such that the at least one couple of connecting portions extend outwards along a lateral direction of the heating member;

providing an atomizer base, wherein the atomizer base comprises a tubular body having an inserting end, and a side wall of the tubular body defines at least one slot extending along a longitudinal direction and communicating with an end surface of the inserting end;

inserting the heating member and the liquid transport body into the tubular body through the inserting end, such that the at least one connecting portion is exposed out of the tubular body through the at least one slot.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the liquid transport member is made of one sheet of liquid transport material;

the method comprises:

providing a sheet of liquid transport material, wherein the sheet of liquid transport material includes a surrounding portion surrounding the heating member and two extending portions extending from two opposite sides of the surrounding portion respectively;

surrounding the surrounding portion around a periphery of the heating member such that the surrounding portion forms the liquid transport body and the two extending portions contact each other at a connecting position of the surrounding portion and extend outwards;

inserting the heating member and the liquid transport body into the tubular body along an axial direction of the tubular body through the inserting end, and inserting the two extending portions into one corresponding slot to form one couple of the connecting portions.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein at least one extending portion extends out of the corresponding slot;

the method further comprises:

cutting a portion of the at least one extending portion extending out of the one corresponding slot, such that a remaining portion of the at least one extending portion which is connected to the surrounding portion forms the connecting portion.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the liquid transport material comprises a liquid transport sponge.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the heating member is tubular, and an air flowing channel is defined inside the heating member.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the heating member comprises a spiral tubular heating coil or a tubular heating tube.

7. The method of claim 2 , wherein a guiding portion is arranged between the at least one slot and the inserting end for guiding the at least one connecting portion to be inserted into the at least one slot.

8. The method of claim 2 , wherein a guiding surface is defined in an inner ring of the inserting end for guiding an insertion of the liquid transport body.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the liquid transport member is made of at least two sheets of liquid transport material;

the method comprises:

providing at least two sheets of liquid transport material, wherein each sheet of the liquid transport material includes a surrounding portion surrounding the heating member and two extending portions extending from two opposite sides of the surrounding portion respectively;

surrounding each of the surrounding portions of the at least two sheets of liquid transport material around the heating member respectively such that the surrounding portions are circumferentially connected to form the liquid transport body, and each of the extending portions contacts the corresponding extending portion of the adjacent sheet of liquid transport material respectively;

inserting the heating member and the liquid transport body into the tubular body along an axial direction of the tubular body through the inserting end, such that the extending portions of the at least two sheets of liquid transport material are respectively inserted into at least two slots to form at least two couples of connecting portions.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein at least one extending portion extends out of the corresponding slot;

the method further comprises:

cutting a portion of the at least one extending portion extending out of the corresponding slot, such that a remaining portion of the at least one extending portion which is connected to the surrounding portion forms the connecting portion.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least two slots are symmetrically arranged along a circumferential direction of the tubular body.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the liquid transport material comprises a liquid transport sponge.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the heating member is tubular, and an air flowing channel is defined inside the heating member.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein a guiding portion is arranged between the at least one slot and the inserting end for guiding the at least one connecting portion to be inserted into the at least one slot.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein a guiding surface is defined in an inner ring of the inserting end for guiding an insertion of the liquid transport body.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein a guiding portion is arranged between the at least one slot and the inserting end for guiding the at least one connecting portion to be inserted into the at least one slot.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the guiding portion comprises a chamfered fillet or a chamfered bevel.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein a guiding surface is defined in an inner ring of the inserting end for guiding an insertion of the liquid transport body.

19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the heating member comprises a spiral tubular heating coil or a tubular heating tube.

20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the heating member is tubular, and an air flowing channel is defined inside the heating member.
