Abstract

The present invention discloses an electronic cigarette, comprising a main body and a heating device, wherein the main body is provided with a first locking member and a mounting chamber with an opening, the heating device is provided with a second locking member, the heating device is mounted to the mounting chamber along the opening, the second locking member is engaged with the first locking member to lock the heating device to the main body to form a locked state; one of the main body and the heating device is further provided with a driving member, and the main body is further provided with an through hole through which the external detaching device is inserted to extrude the driving member, so that the driving member drives the second locking member to be separated from the first locking member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic cigarette, comprising a main body and a heating device, wherein the main body is provided with a first locking member and a mounting chamber with an opening, the heating device is provided with a second locking member, the heating device is mounted to the mounting chamber along the opening, the second locking member is engaged with the first locking member to lock the heating device to the main body to form a locked state; one of the main body and the heating device is further provided with a driving member, and the main body is further provided with a through hole through which an external detaching device is inserted to extrude the driving member, so that the driving member drives the second locking member to be separated from the first locking member;
wherein the main body is provided with a retaining port communicated with the mounting chamber, the first locking member comprises an elastic locking arm and a locking head, one end of the locking head is received in the mounting chamber, and the other end is mounted to the elastic locking arm through the retaining port; the elastic locking arm is mounted in the main body and is elastically abutted against the main body to press the locking head into the mounting chamber, the elastic locking arm is partially corresponding to the through hole to form the driving member, the outer surface of the heating device is provided with a locking groove to form the second locking member; the heating device is mounted to the mounting chamber along the opening, the locking head is clamped in the locking groove to lock the heating device to the main body; the external detaching device passes through the through hole to press the driving member so that the locking head is separated from the locking groove.

2. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic locking arm comprises a connecting arm, an elastic member and a rotating shaft, the connecting arm comprises a locking end in which the locking head is mounted and a driving end in which the driving member is mounted, the connecting arm is mounted in the main body through the rotating shaft, when the driving member is extruded by the external detaching device to rotate the driving end along the rotating shaft toward the mounting chamber, the locking end rotates along the rotating shaft away from the mounting chamber to disengage the locking head from the inner space of the mounting chamber; and the elastic member is elastically abutted against between the main body and the connecting arm to press the locking head into the mounting chamber.

3. The electronic cigarette according to claim 2 , wherein one end of the driving end away from the driving member is provided with a positioning portion, one end of the elastic member is mounted in the positioning portion, and the other end is elastically abutted against the outer chamber wall of the mounting chamber.

4. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein one end of the locking head facing the opening is further provided with a guiding portion, when the heating device is mounted along the opening to be in contact with the guiding portion, the guiding portion is extruded to slide the locking head from the mounting chamber along the retaining port; and/or the locking groove extends in the circumferential direction of the heating device.

5. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein the second locking member comprises a limiting head and an elastic body, the heating device is provided with a groove, the limiting head is slidably mounted in the groove, the elastic body is elastically abutted between the limiting head and the bottom groove wall of the groove, the mounting chamber is provided with a limiting notch facing the through hole to form the first locking member, the heating device is mounted to the mounting chamber along the opening, the limiting head is engaged in the limiting notch, the heating device is locked to the main body; and one end of the detaching device passes through the through hole to press the limit head such that the limit head moves along the sliding slot to be detached from the limiting notch.

6. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic cigarette further comprises an ejecting mechanism, the ejecting mechanism is mounted to the main body and is at least partially received in the main body, the heating device extrudes the ejecting mechanism when being locked to the main body, when the second locking member is separated from the first locking member, the ejecting mechanism pushes the heating device to move outwardly along the mounting chamber so that the heating device partially protrudes from the opening to form a disengaged state.

7. The electronic cigarette according to claim 6 , wherein the ejecting mechanism comprises a supporting base and an elastic member, the supporting base is slidably mounted to the main body and is at least partially received in the mounting chamber, one end of the elastic member is abutted against the supporting base, and the other end is abutted against the main body; the heating device is abutted against the supporting base when being mounted in the mounting chamber along the opening, the heating device pushes the supporting base to extrude the elastic member when moving from the disengaged state position to the locked state position; when the second locking member is separated from the first locking member, the elastic member pushes the supporting base to move so that the heating device moves from the locked state to the disengaged position.

8. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein the heating device comprises a heating base and a tobacco container mounted to the heating base, the tobacco container is provided with a receiving space configured to receive the tobacco products, one of the heating base and the tobacco container is provided with a second locking member, the heating base is electrically connected to the main body when being locked to the main body, and the main body drives the heating device to heat the tobacco products in the receiving space.

9. The electronic cigarette according to claim 8 , wherein the heating base comprises a base body and a heat generating component, the base body is provided with an inner chamber, one end of the tobacco container is detachably mounted to the base body, and the heat generating component is received in the inner chamber and is partially received in the receiving space through the base body.

10. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic cigarette further comprises an ejecting mechanism, the ejecting mechanism is mounted to the main body and is at least partially received in the main body, the heating device extrudes the ejecting mechanism when being locked to the main body, when the second locking member is separated from the first locking member, the ejecting mechanism pushes the heating device to move outwardly along the mounting chamber so that the heating device partially protrudes from the opening to form a disengaged state.

11. The electronic cigarette according to claim 2 , wherein the electronic cigarette further comprises an ejecting mechanism, the ejecting mechanism is mounted to the main body and is at least partially received in the main body, the heating device extrudes the ejecting mechanism when being locked to the main body, when the second locking member is separated from the first locking member, the ejecting mechanism pushes the heating device to move outwardly along the mounting chamber so that the heating device partially protrudes from the opening to form a disengaged state.
