Abstract

A charger for an electronic cigarette is disclosed including: a housing, a charging circuit in the housing, an USB input end extending outside of the housing and a charging port for charging an external power supply of the electronic cigarette; the housing includes at least two charging ports, each charging port includes an electrode of connecting the charging circuit; at least one charging port in the at least two charging ports includes an elastic element mated with an inner lateral surface thereof; when inserting the power supply of the electric cigarette into the charging port, the elastic element contacts outside the power supply by an interference fit to fix the power supply of the electric cigarette.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A charger for an electronic cigarette, comprising:
a housing;
a charging circuit in the housing;
an USB input end extending outside of the housing; and
a charging port for charging an external power supply of the electronic cigarette;
wherein the housing comprises at least two charging ports, each charging port comprises an electrode of connecting the charging circuit;
wherein the charging port having the elastic element further comprises two electrodes, convex outward from a bottom of the charging port; the two electrodes are shaped to be an elastic pin structure.

2. The charger according to claim 1 , wherein at least one charging port in the at least two charging ports is connected to the power supply of the electronic cigarette by a magnetic way.

3. The charger according to claim 1 , wherein at least one charging port in the at least two charging ports comprises a screw thread which is compatible with the power supply of the electronic cigarette.

4. The charger according to claim 1 , wherein at least one charging port in the at least two charging ports comprises an elastic element mated with an inner lateral surface thereof; when inserting the power supply of the electric cigarette into the charging port, the elastic element contacts outside the power supply by an interference fit to fix the power supply of the electric cigarette.

5. The charger according to claim 3 , wherein the charging port having the screw thread further comprises two electrodes, the two electrodes are respectively the screw thread and a electrode ring.

6. The charger according to claim 4 , wherein inner diameters of the elastic elements in at least two charging ports are dimensioned to be different.

7. The charger according to claim 4 , wherein a boss is provided on a surface of the elastic element contacting with the power supply of electric cigarette.
