Here, the preset position refers to a specific position in which the user is allowed to select the mouthpiece 21 to be extended or retracted according to his own personal preference.
Fig. 5 is a schematic view of an embodiment of the stopper 4, and with reference to fig. 5 and with continued reference to fig. 3 and 4, the stopper 4 will be described in detail in connection with various embodiments.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 2 to 4, in the first embodiment, the stopper portion 4 includes a stopper (herein, also referred to as a first stopper) 41 provided on the housing 1 and an elastic member (herein, also referred to as a first elastic member) 42 connected to the atomizer portion 2, the first stopper 41 is provided on the housing 1, for example, the first stopper 41 has a plate shape, the first stopper 41 is caught on the front housing 105 and accommodated in the accommodating chamber 11, and first catching grooves 411 opposed to the atomizer portion 2 are provided at least at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the first stopper 41. The first elastic member 42 may be mounted to the base 23 of the atomizer part 2, and in particular, the atomizer part 2 further includes a first fixing member 24 located at a lower portion of the base 23, the first fixing member 24 may be clamped to the base 23, the first elastic member 42 is fixed to the first fixing member 24 of the atomizer part 2, and the first elastic member 42 slides in a length direction of the first stopper 41 and may be clamped by the first clamping groove 411. Here, by providing the first locking grooves 411 at least at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the first stopper 41, the atomizer portion 2 can be stably stopped at least at the position where the mouthpiece 21 is retracted and the position where the mouthpiece 21 is extended (i.e., the preset position), thereby facilitating both the storage of the mouthpiece 21 (when the mouthpiece 21 is retracted) and the smoking by the user (when the mouthpiece 21 is extended).
Example two
Referring to fig. 4, the second embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment in that the first locking groove 411 may include a plurality of points distributed along the length direction of the first stopper 41 so that the mouthpiece 21 can stay at a plurality of positions. For example, the first stopper 41 may be provided with an extension belt 45 extending in a wavy line along the longitudinal direction of the first stopper 41, and each trough 451 of the extension belt 45 may be used as a first engagement groove. The first elastic member 42 abuts against the extension belt 45 and slides on the extension belt 45 as the push head 31 pushes the atomizer portion 2, and when the first elastic member 42 slides to the trough portion 451, the first elastic member 42 is fitted to the trough portion 451, whereby the first elastic member 42 is restrained by the crest portions 452 located at both sides of the trough portion 451, so that the atomizer portion 2 can be stopped at a specific position. When the pusher 31 is pushed to slide the atomizer portion 2, the first elastic member 42 is pressed by the crest portion 452 of the extension belt 45 to contract and slide on the extension belt 45.
Example III
Referring to fig. 5, the third embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment except that the stopper (also referred to as a second stopper) 43 and the elastic member (also referred to as a second elastic member) 44 of the stopper 4 are conductive members, and for example, the second stopper 42 and the second elastic member 44 may be made of copper. Specifically, the second stoppers 43 are fixed to the housing 1 in the same manner as the first stoppers 41, and are connected to terminals of the control board 8 (not shown, and may be electrically connected by any known means such as conductive connection), and the second stoppers 43 are provided with second engaging grooves 431 facing the atomizer portion 2 at least at both ends in the longitudinal direction. The second elastic member 44 is electrically connected to one end of the electrical connection end of the atomizer portion 2 (for example, the electrical connection end provided on the base 23) (not shown, may be electrically connected by any known means such as an electrically conductive connection), the second elastic member 44 is always abutted against the second stopper 43, and the other terminal of the control board 8 and the other end of the atomizer portion 2 (for example, the electrical connection end provided on the base 23) may be connected by a known electrically conductive wire to electrically connect the control board 8 and the atomizer portion 2. The second elastic member 44 slides on the second stopper 43 and can be caught by the second catching groove 431 as the pusher head 31 pushes the atomizer portion 2. Thus, not only the mouthpiece 21 can be stopped at a predetermined position, but also the stopper 4 is directly used as a conductive member for connecting the battery 9 and the atomizer unit 2, so that a partially-follow-up conductive wire can be omitted.
Example IV
With continued reference to fig. 5, the fourth embodiment is substantially the same as the second embodiment except that the stopper and the elastic member of the stopper 4 are conductive members. As described above, for the sake of distinction, the electrically conductive stopper is also collectively referred to as the second stopper 43, and the electrically conductive elastic member is collectively referred to as the second elastic member 44. Specifically, the second stopper 43 is fixed to the housing 1 in the same manner as the first stopper 41, and is electrically connected to one end of the control board 8, and an extension belt 45 extending in a wavy line along the longitudinal direction of the second stopper 43 is provided in the middle of the first stopper 41, and each trough 451 of the extension belt 45 serves as a second engaging groove. The second elastic member 44 is connected to one end of the terminal of the atomizer portion 2 (for example, the power-on interface end provided on the base 23), the second elastic member 44 is always abutted against the extension band 45 of the second stopper 43, and the other end of the terminal of the control board 8 and the other end of the terminal of the atomizer portion 2 can be connected by a well-known conductive wire to electrically connect between the control board 8 and the atomizer portion 2. Thus, not only the mouthpiece 21 can be stopped at a plurality of predetermined positions, but also the stopper 4 is directly used as a conductive member for connecting between the control plate 8 and the atomizer unit 2, so that a partially follow-up conductive wire (i.e., a conductive wire that operates in accordance with the sliding of the atomizer unit) can be omitted.
Example five
With continued reference to fig. 5, the fifth embodiment is substantially the same as the fourth embodiment except that the stopper 4 includes two places, one end (not shown) of the wiring of the atomizer portion 2 is electrically connected to one end (not shown) of the wiring of the control board 8 through one place of the stopper 4, and the other end (not shown) of the wiring of the atomizer portion 2 is electrically connected to the other end (not shown) of the wiring of the control board 8 through the other place of the stopper 4. Here, the terminals of the atomizer unit 2 and the control board 8 are terminals to which both are electrically connected, respectively. Specifically, the second stoppers 43 of the two stoppers 4 are fixed to the housing 1, respectively, and the two second stoppers 43 may be located on the same side of the atomizer portion 2, respectively, or on diametrically opposite sides of the atomizer portion 2, respectively, for example, one of the two second stoppers 43 may be fixed to the front housing 105, the other second stopper 43 may be fixed to the rear housing 106, or both may be fixed to the front housing 105 or the rear housing 106. Preferably, in order to make the sliding of the atomizer portion 2 smoother, the two second stoppers 43 are located on diametrically opposite sides of the atomizer portion 2, respectively. In contrast, the second elastic members 44 of the two stopper portions 4 are respectively attached to the base 23 of the atomizer portion 2, one of the second elastic members 44 being abutted against one of the second stopper members 43, and the other second elastic member 44 being abutted against the other second stopper member 43. Thus, since the stopper 4 capable of conducting electricity is added at one place in addition to the fourth embodiment, not only the mouthpiece 21 can be more stably stopped at a plurality of predetermined positions, but also the unnecessary follow-up conductive wire can be directly omitted.
Example six
Referring to fig. 3, the sixth embodiment is substantially the same as the second embodiment, except that two electrode tabs 46a and 46b are further mounted on the first stopper 41, the electrode tabs 46a and 46b are located on both sides of the extending belt 45 in the width direction, respectively, and the extending direction of the extending belt 45 is the same, wherein one electrode tab 46a is connected to one end of the battery 9, which is connected to the electricity, and the other electrode tab 46b is connected to the other end of the battery 9, which is connected to the electricity. In response, two electrode pins 47a and 47b (power-on interfaces) are attached to the base 23 of the atomizer unit 2, one electrode pin 47a being abutted against one electrode plate 46a and the other electrode pin 47b being abutted against the other electrode plate 46 a. This makes it possible to directly omit the extra follow-up conductive wire.
Fig. 6 is a schematic view of the internal structure of another embodiment of the electronic cigarette, and referring to fig. 2 to 5, and referring to fig. 6, the elastic members (the first elastic member 42 and the second elastic member 44) are described in detail below in connection with the above-described embodiment and other embodiments.
Referring to fig. 2 to 5, in an alternative embodiment, the first elastic member 42 (or the second elastic member 44) may be a spring pin member (spring needle member), specifically, the first fixing member 24 may be plate-shaped and may be clamped between two first sliding members (guide posts) 52, the first fixing member 24 is substantially parallel to the first stopper 41, and the first elastic member 42 (or the second elastic member 44) as a spring pin member is vertically mounted to the first fixing member 24, whereby the spring pin member is also substantially vertically abutted against the extension belt 45 of the first stopper 41 (or the second stopper 43) and elastically expands and contracts with the sliding of the atomizer portion 2 to slide along the crest portion 452 and the trough portion 451 of the extension belt 45. When the extension end of the pin member is attached to the trough 451, the atomizer portion 2 can be stably stopped, and thus, the mouthpiece 21 can be ensured to stay at a predetermined position.
Referring to fig. 6, in another alternative embodiment, the first elastic member 42 (or the second elastic member 44) may be a spring member, such as a sheet metal member having an elastic sheet thickness of about 0.2mm, the elastic sheet having a mounting end 42a and a cantilever end 42b, the mounting end 42a being clamped between the base 23 and the second fixing member 25, and the second fixing member 23 being directly locked to the base 23 by a screw. The cantilever end 42b abuts on the extension belt 45 of the first stopper 41 (or the second stopper 43) and elastically swings as the pusher head 31 pushes the atomizer portion 2 to slide along the crest portion 452 and the trough portion 451 of the extension belt 45, and stably stops the atomizer portion 2 when the cantilever end 42b and the trough portion 451 are attached, whereby the holder 21 can be ensured to stay at a preset position. It should be noted that, when the spring element includes two pieces (for example, the second elastic element 44 of the fifth embodiment), in order to prevent the two pieces from being conducted, an insulating element may be disposed between the two pieces.
With continued reference to fig. 6, in addition, in order to prevent the atomizer portion 2 from retracting at a preset position, preferably, the electronic cigarette of the present embodiment further includes a retraction prevention portion 6, the retraction prevention portion 6 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11, the retraction prevention portion 6 includes a ratchet bar 61 and a pawl 62, the ratchet bar 61 is disposed on the housing 1, the pawl 62 is connected with the push head 31, and the pawl 62 is disengaged from the ratchet bar 61 when the push head 31 is pressed. Specifically, when the atomizer portion 2 stays at a certain preset position by the stopper portion 4, the atomizer portion 2 is simultaneously caught by the ratchet 61 of the retraction prevention portion 6 corresponding to the same stopper portion 4 by the claw 62. The ratchet bar 61 may be integrally formed directly on the housing 1, for example on the front housing 105 and/or the rear housing 106 and accommodated in the accommodation chamber 11, whereas the pawl 62 may be integrally formed on the base 23 or the second fixing member 25 (or the first fixing member 24) of the atomizer portion 2, extend in the direction of the ratchet bar 61 and may be snapped onto the ratchet bar 61. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the retraction of the atomizer portion 2, which would result in the retraction of the mouthpiece 21, the material of the base 23 or the second fixing member 25 (or the first fixing member 24) being selected from an elastic material such as polyurethane, soft plastic, or the like, since the push head 31 is connected to the claw 62 through the base 23 or the second fixing member 25 made of an elastic material, when the push head 31 is pressed, the claw 62 contracts with the base 23 or the second fixing member 25, thereby disengaging the claw 62 from the ratchet bar 61.
Referring back to fig. 2, in addition, in order to prevent dust, other foreign matters, and the like from entering the accommodating chamber 11 through the first outlet portion 101, it is preferable that the electronic cigarette of the present embodiment further has a cover plate 7 provided at an upper end portion of the housing 1, the cover plate 7 being provided to rotatably cover the first outlet portion 101 or rotatably move away from the first outlet portion 101. Specifically, the cover plate 7 is provided on the upper case 103, and a rotation shaft 71 is provided on the cover plate 7, and in response thereto, a rotation hole (not shown) is provided on the upper case 103, and the cover plate 7 is inserted into the rotation hole through the rotation shaft 71, thereby being fixed to the upper case 103. Further, in order to make the cover plate 7 closely contact with the upper case 103, the rotary shaft 71 may be fitted with a spring 72, one end of which abuts against the lower surface of the upper case 103, and the other end of which abuts against the screw head 73 mounted on the end of the rotary shaft 71.
The specific features described in the above embodiments may be combined in any manner without contradiction, and various possible combinations are not separately described for the sake of unnecessary repetition.
The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention and not for limiting the same, and any modification or equivalent substitution without departing from the scope of the present invention should be included in the technical solution of the present invention.
