Abstract

An electronic cigarette device may include a first outer electrode provided on the assembly end of the atomizer. At least one air hole may be provided at the rear of the first outer electrode. A second outer electrode may be provided on the assembly end of the battery rod. An electrode fixation base may be provided coaxially with and rotatable around a fixed axis with the first outer electrode is provided inside the second outer electrode. An air groove may be provided at the outer end surface of the assembly end of the battery rod, and is in one-to-one correspondence with and is adapted to be coaxial with the air hole. At least one protruding rib extending along the axial direction of the atomizer may be provided on the outer circumference surface of the first outer electrode.

Claims

1. An electronic cigarette device, comprising an atomizer and a battery rod which are connected with each other, wherein a first outer electrode is provided on an assembly end of the atomizer, at least one air hole is provided at a rear of the first outer electrode, a second outer electrode is provided on an assembly end of the battery rod, a socket adaptedly fitted with the first outer electrode is provided on the second outer electrode, an electrode fixation base is provided inside the second outer electrode, and is provided coaxially with and is rotatable around a fixed axis with the first outer electrode, at least one air groove is provided at an outer end surface of the assembly end of the battery rod, and the at least one air groove and the at least one air hole are in a configuration of aligning assembly;

at least one protruding rib is provided on an outer circumference surface of the first outer electrode and extends along an axial direction of the atomizer, at least one locating groove is provided on an inner wall of the electrode fixation base and extends along a circumference direction of the battery rod and is in one-to-one correspondence with the at least one protruding rib, the at least one protruding rib is rotatablely engaged with the at least one locating groove, and is rotatable in the circumference direction of the battery rod;

wherein the first outer electrode and the socket each have an elliptical cross section, the number of each of the protruding rib and the locating groove is two, and the protruding ribs are flange sections located at long axis ends of the cross section of the first outer electrode; and

a rotation angle of the protruding rib and an ultimate assembly position is limited by the locating groove to implement an accurate aligning assembly between the air hole and the at least one air groove.

2. The electronic cigarette device according to claim 1, wherein each air hole is in any one of the following shapes:
