Abstract

The invention is related to an electronic cigarette, including an outer shell; at least two soft layers are fitted around the outer shell and wrap the outer shell therein; the outer shell therein has a liquid storage component, an atomizer and a power supply; one end of the outer shell is set with a mouthpiece cover; the outer shell therein is further set with an liquid isolation component; the liquid storage component is disposed in a closed space enclosed by the mouthpiece cover, part of the outer shell and the liquid isolation component; inner wall of the liquid storage component is set with a conduit supporting the liquid storage component, the conduit is respectively communicated with the mouthpiece cover and the liquid isolation component; the atomizer is fixedly supported in the conduit. The electronic cigarette offers favorable feeling to touch and mouth, a simple structure, and quick and convenient assembly.

Claims

1. An electronic cigarette, comprising an outer shell, wherein at least two soft layers are fitted on the outer shell and wrap the outer shell therein.

2. The electronic cigarette of claim 1, wherein the outer shell therein is provided with a liquid storage component for storing cigarette liquid, an atomizer for atomizing cigarette liquid into vapor mist, and a power supply;

one end of the outer shell is set with a soft mouthpiece cover for smoker inhaling;

the outer shell therein is further set with a liquid isolation component;

the liquid storage component is disposed and fixed in a closed space which is enclosed by the mouthpiece cover, a part of the outer shell together with the liquid isolation component;

inner wall of the liquid storage component is set with a conduit for supporting the liquid storage component, the conduit is respectively communicated with the mouthpiece cover and the liquid isolation component, and the atomizer is supported and fixed in the conduit.

3. The electronic cigarette of claim 2, wherein the atomizer comprises a heating wire, a liquid guiding component for supporting the heating wire, and a control board for controlling the heating wire to work;

the heating wire winds around the liquid guiding component; and

positive and negative electrodes of the heating wire pass through the liquid isolation component and connect with corresponding electrodes of the control board.

4. The electronic cigarette of claim 3, wherein the conduit is a hollow circular tube with a through hole therein, and defines slots running though its tube wall for supporting and fixing the liquid guiding component;

the liquid guiding component goes across in the conduit with both ends thereof respectively passing through the slots and then contacting the liquid storage component so as to absorb cigarette liquid for the heating wire to atomize.

5. The electronic cigarette of claim 4, wherein both the mouthpiece cover and the liquid isolation component define vent holes in center, and the through hole of the conduit is respectively communicated with both the vent hole of the mouthpiece cover and the vent hole of the liquid isolation component.

6. The electronic cigarette of claim 2, wherein the liquid storage component is a hollow cylinder, is sleeved on outer wall of the conduit and is tightly engaged with the outer wall of the conduit as so to be supported;

both ends of the liquid storage component respectively abut against the mouthpiece cover and the liquid isolation component, and inner wall of the liquid storage component contacts the liquid guiding component.

7. The electronic cigarette of claim 2, wherein the mouthpiece cover at its center forms a column for connecting the conduit.

8. The electronic cigarette of claim 1, wherein there are two soft layers.

9. The electronic cigarette of claim 1, wherein the soft layer is made from any one insulation material selected from Polybutylene terephthalate plastic, ethylene-vinylacetate copolymer, or polyvinyl chloride.

10. The electronic cigarette of claim 2, wherein the electronic cigarette is a separated type of electronic cigarette, and comprises an inhaling rod and a power rod both of which are interconnected;

the inhaling rod comprises a cylindrical inhaling tube used as a shell of the inhaling rod;

one end of the inhaling tube is set with the mouthpiece cover, the other end thereof is set with a first connector for connecting the power rod, the mouthpiece cover is inserted into the inhaling tube;

the first connector comprises a first seat and a first pole respectively used as both electrodes of the first connector, the first seat is used as the liquid isolation component;

a first insulation sleeve is set between the first seat and the first pole for insulation, the first pole is inserted in center of the first seat by mean of the first insulation sleeve;

the first seat, the mouthpiece cover, and a part of the inhaling tube together enclose the closed space for containing the liquid storage component; and

the first seat and the mouthpiece cover are oppositely fitted in inner wall of the inhaling tube with a space between the two.

11. The electronic cigarette of claim 10, wherein the first pole defines a through hole at its center, and the first pole is inserted in the conduit and communicated with the conduit.

12. The electronic cigarette of claim 10, wherein the power rod is set with a second connector at its end connecting the inhaling rod for engaging with the first connector;

the second connector comprises a second seat and a second pole as two electrodes of the second connector, a second insulation sleeve is set between the second seat and the second pole for insulation;

the second pole is inserted in center of the second seat by means of the second insulation sleeve;

the second seat and the second pole are respectively connected with the positive and negative poles of the power supply;

the first seat and the second seat are threadedly connected whereby the first seat contacts the first seat and the first pole contacts the second pole.

13. The electronic cigarette of claim 2, wherein the electronic cigarette is an integrated type of electronic cigarette, and the outer shell is an integrated shell.

14. The electronic cigarette of claim 13, wherein the electronic cigarette is set with an isolation seat as the liquid isolation component;

the isolation seat is tightly fitted in inner wall of the outer shell by its outer sidewall;

the isolation seat at its center forms a column for connecting the conduit; and

the column at its center also defines an axial vent hole.

15. The electronic cigarette of claim 10, wherein the outer shell of the electronic cigarette comprises the inhaling tube as the shell of the inhaling rod and a sleeve as a shell of the power rod.
