Abstract

An electronic cigarette, in which an atomizer assembly protective cartridge is provided outside of the atomizer assembly, and a battery assembly protective cartridge is provided outside of the battery assembly. An atomizing seat fitted with the holder is provided at an inner end of the atomizer assembly. At least a coating layer is provided outside of the atomizer assembly protective cartridge, the holder and the battery assembly protective cartridge, and enables connection between the atomizer assembly protective cartridge, the holder and the battery assembly protective cartridge. In the overall process of assembling the electronic cigarette, since there is no pushing or squeezing action between the atomizer assembly and the battery assembly, it is possible to effectively avoid oil leakage caused by an inclination and a deformation of the atomizing seat under uneven force is effectively avoided.

Claims

1. An electronic cigarette, comprising an atomizer assembly and a battery assembly cooperated with each other, wherein an atomizer assembly protective cartridge is provided outside of the atomizer assembly, a battery assembly protective cartridge is provided outside of the battery assembly, the atomizer assembly protective cartridge is connected to the battery assembly protective cartridge via a holder, and an atomizing seat fitted with the holder is provided at an inner end of the atomizer assembly;

and

the atomizer assembly protective cartridge, the holder and the battery assembly protective cartridge are connected by a coating layer which is provided outside of the atomizer assembly protective cartridge, the holder and the battery assembly protective cartridge;

wherein an end, fitted with the atomizing seat, of the holder is provided with an inner plug-in section;

an end, fitted with the holder, of the atomizing seat is provided with an outer socket section;

the holder is fixed to the atomizing seat by inserting the inner plug-in section into the outer socket section; and

there is interference fit between the atomizer assembly protective cartridge and the outer socket section, as well as between the battery assembly protective cartridge and the outer socket section.

2. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1, wherein an air intake communicating with external environment is provided in the holder.

3. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1, wherein a first air hole communicating with the air intake is provided in the battery assembly protective cartridge or the atomizer assembly protective cartridge;

and a second air hole communicating with an air intake is provided in the coating layer.

4. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1, wherein an air inlet communicating with external environment is provided in an outer end of the battery assembly protective cartridge.
