Abstract

An electronic cigarette comprising a battery pole, an atomizer, and a connecting mechanism disposed between the battery pole and the atomizer and configured for connecting the battery pole to the atomizer is provided; the connecting mechanism includes a first connecting member and a second connecting member; and the first connecting member includes a first buckled portion and a first connecting portion detachably connected with the first buckled portion; the second connecting member includes an accommodating portion fitting for the first buckled portion; and the first buckled portion is fixed in the accommodating portion, so that the first buckled portion is detachably buckled with the second connecting member. The electronic cigarette of the present application is easy to assemble and disassemble, and convenient to produce.

Claims

1. An electronic cigarette comprising a battery pole, an atomizer, and a connecting mechanism disposed between the battery pole and the atomizer and configured for connecting the battery pole to the atomizer;

the connecting mechanism including a first connecting member and a second connecting member, wherein, the first connecting member includes a first buckled portion and a first connecting portion detachably connected with the first buckled portion;

the second connecting member includes an accommodating portion fitting for the first buckled portion; and

the first buckled portion is fixed in the accommodating portion, so that the first buckled portion is detachably buckled with the second connecting member.

2. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1, wherein the second connecting member further includes a second connecting portion;

and the second connecting portion is detachably connected with the accommodating portion.

3. The electronic cigarette according to claim 2, wherein the second connecting portion includes a second inserted pipe and a second sleeve integrated with the second inserted pipe;

and the accommodating portion is embedded in the second sleeve.

4. The electronic cigarette according to claim 3, wherein a side edge of the accommodating portion defines a guiding recess configured for cooperatively enabling the first buckled portion to be inserted in the accommodating portion;

and an inner surface of the accommodating portion defines a locating recess disposed peripherally and communicating with the guiding recess; and

a protruding portion is formed on edge of outside surface of the first buckled portion;

when the first buckled portion is inserted in the accommodating portion, the protruding portion moves along the guiding recess and then enters rotationally the locating recess of the accommodating portion.

5. The electronic cigarette according to claim 4, wherein the first connecting portion is cylindrical;

and the first buckled portion including a first section and a second section integrated with the first section is cylindrical;

and the first section is inserted in the first connecting portion; and

the protruding portion is mounted on the second section.

6. The electronic cigarette according to claim 5, wherein the electronic cigarette further comprises a first electrode pillar and a second electrode pillar;

the first electrode pillar is embedded in the second connecting member; and

the second electrode pillar is embedded in the first connecting member;

when the first connecting member is buckled with the second connecting member, the first electrode pillar abuts against the second electrode pillar, and electrically connects with the second electrode pillar.

7. The electronic cigarette according to claim 6, wherein a first through-hole configured for air flow is defined in the first electrode pillar;

and a second through-hole configured for air flow is defined in the second electrode pillar; and

the first through-hole communicates with the second through-hole.

8. The electronic cigarette according to claim 7, wherein the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are made of metal;

the atomizer includes a heating filament; and

two ends of the heating filament are electrically connected to the first connecting portion and the second electrode pillar respectively; and

two terminals of a battery are electrically connected to the second connecting portion and the first electrode pillar respectively; and

thus when the first connecting member is buckled with the second connecting member, the first connecting portion is electrically connected to the second connecting portion.

9. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1, wherein a first limiting ring is peripherally mounted on an end of the first connecting portion that is adjacent to the first buckled portion.

10. The electronic cigarette according to claim 3, wherein a second limiting ring is peripherally mounted on an end of the second connecting portion that is adjacent to the accommodating portion.
