Abstract

Disclosed are a cartridge and an electronic cigarette having the cartridge. The cartridge includes a liquid storage cavity, an atomizing cavity, a liquid suction member, a liquid outlet, a smoke outlet, and an air inlet opening. Before the cartridge is used, the liquid outlet is in a closed state, such that e-liquid in the liquid storage cavity is isolated from the liquid suction member. When the cartridge is used, the liquid outlet is in an open state, such that the e-liquid in the liquid storage cavity flows out through the liquid outlet. The atomizing cavity is provided with an opening, and the size of the heating member matches the size of the opening; and when the cartridge is used, the heating member extends into the atomizing cavity through the opening and comes into contact with the liquid suction member or stays a preset distance away from the liquid suction member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cartridge for an electronic cigarette, wherein the cartridge comprises a liquid storage cavity, an atomizing cavity, a liquid suction member, a liquid outlet, a smoke outlet and an air inlet opening, the liquid outlet is in communication with the liquid storage cavity, the liquid suction member, the smoke outlet and the air inlet opening are all in communication with the atomizing cavity, the liquid suction member is arranged between the liquid outlet and the atomizing cavity; before the cartridge is used, the liquid outlet is in a closed state, such that e-liquid in the liquid storage cavity is isolated from the liquid suction member; when the cartridge is used, the liquid outlet is in an open state, such that the e-liquid in the in the liquid storage cavity flows out through the liquid outlet and is absorbed by the liquid suction member; wherein the cartridge further comprises a cartridge casing and a sealing member, the liquid storage cavity and the liquid outlet are provided in the cartridge casing, the sealing member penetrates into the liquid storage cavity from outside of the cartridge and seals the liquid outlet; when the sealing member is pulled in a direction away from the liquid storage cavity, the sealing member is separated from the liquid outlet, the liquid outlet is opened, and the liquid storage cavity supplies the e-liquid to the liquid suction member.

2. The cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein one end of the cartridge casing away from the liquid outlet is sealed by a sealing pad, the sealing pad is provided with a through hole, the sealing member comprises an operating portion and a sealing portion, the sealing portion comprises a first sealing portion and a second sealing portion connected to each other, one end of the operating portion extends to the outside of the cartridge, another end of the operating portion extends into the liquid storage cavity and is connected to the first sealing portion, a connecting position between the first sealing portion and the operating portion has a transverse cutout, the second sealing portion is configured to seal the liquid outlet; when the operating portion is pulled in a direction away from the liquid storage cavity, the second sealing portion is separated from the liquid outlet and the liquid outlet is opened; when the operating portion is continued to be pulled in a direction away from the liquid storage cavity until the second sealing portion abuts against the sealing pad, the first sealing portion is inserted into the through hole to seal the through hole, the operating portion and the first sealing portion are disconnected from each other from the transverse cutout.

3. The cartridge according to claim 2 , wherein when pulling the sealing member, the sealing member is deformed under the pulling force, a gap is formed between the operating portion and an inner wall of the through hole, external air enters into the liquid storage cavity through the gap; an outer wall of the first sealing portion is provided with a sealing strip protruding outward along a radial direction of the first sealing portion, the sealing strip seals the through hole when the first sealing portion is inserted into the through hole.

4. The cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the cartridge further comprises a bottom base, a lower end of the cartridge casing extends downward along an axial direction of the cartridge casing to form a receiving portion, the bottom base is located in the receiving portion, a bottom base sealing member is provided between the bottom base and the cartridge casing, the bottom base sealing member is sleeved on the outside of an upper end of the bottom base, the liquid suction member is installed on the bottom base sealing member, the atomizing cavity and the air inlet opening are provided in the bottom base.

5. The cartridge according to claim 4 , wherein a mounting portion protrudes downward from a lower surface of the bottom base sealing member, the mounting portion has a lower opening, the liquid suction member passes through the lower opening of the mounting portion and is received in the mounting portion, an upper end of the mounting portion is provided with a liquid passage hole in communicating with the liquid suction member, the liquid passage hole is also in communication with the liquid outlet when the liquid outlet is opened.

6. An electronic cigarette comprising the cartridge according to claim 1 .

7. The electronic cigarette according to claim 6 , wherein the electronic cigarette further comprises a battery device cooperating with the cartridge, the cartridge is detachably connected to the battery device, a heating member is provided on the battery device; when the cartridge is connected to the battery device, the heating member extends into the atomizing cavity and is in contact with the liquid suction member or maintains a preset distance from the liquid suction member.

8. The electronic cigarette according to claim 7 , wherein the atomizing cavity has an opening, the size of the heating member matches the size of the opening; when the cartridge is used, the heating member extends into the atomizing cavity through the opening, the heating member is electrically driven to heat the e-liquid absorbed by the liquid suction member to form smoke, external air flows into the atomizing cavity through the air inlet opening under the action of suction and is mixed with the smoke and flows out through the smoke outlet.
