Abstract

An electronic cigarette device includes an atomizer and a battery rod, a retaining member is provided on an outer peripheral surface of one end of the atomizer, and an engaging groove is provided on an end surface of one end of the battery rod and configured to accommodate one end of the atomizer, a side wall of the engaging groove is provided with a guide groove extending in a radial direction of the batter rod, a directing groove extending along a circumferential direction of the battery rod and in communication with the guide groove, and a retaining groove for accommodating the retaining member and extending from one end, away from the guide groove, of the directing groove towards the end surface of the battery rod, and a stopper is formed between the guide groove and the retaining groove to prevent the retaining member from moving towards the guide groove.

First claim

1 . An electronic cigarette device, comprising an atomizer and a battery rod which are configured to be connected, wherein, a retaining member is provided on an outer peripheral surface of one end of the atomizer, and an engaging groove is provided on an end surface of one end of the battery rod and is configured to accommodate one end of the atomizer, a side wall of the engaging groove is provided with a guide groove extending in a radial direction of the battery rod, a directing groove extending along a circumferential direction of the battery rod and in communication with the guide groove, and a retaining groove for accommodating the retaining member and extending from one end, away from the guide groove, of the directing groove towards the end surface of the battery rod, and a stopper is formed between the guide groove and the retaining groove to prevent the retaining member from moving towards the guide groove; and in assembling, the retaining member is inserted through the guide groove, and then is moved into the retaining groove along the directing groove.

2 . The electronic cigarette device according to claim 1 , further comprising a force applying mechanism for applying a force on the atomizer in a direction away from the battery rod.

3 . The electronic cigarette device according to claim 2 , wherein the force applying mechanism comprises a first magnet arranged at one end of the atomizer, and a second magnet arranged at one end of the battery rod; and the first magnet and the second magnet repel each other in a case that the atomizer and the battery rod are connected.

4 . The electronic cigarette device according to claim 2 , wherein the force applying mechanism comprises an elastic second inner electrode configured to be electrically connected to the atomizer and a battery in the battery rod, and the second inner electrode is provided on a groove wall of the engaging groove and is configured to elastically abutting against an end surface of the atomizer.

5 . The electronic cigarette device according to claim 4 , wherein the second inner electrode comprises an abutting member configured to abut against the end surface of the atomizer, a fastener movably connected to the abutting member, and a spring arranged inside the fastener and abutting against both the abutting member and the fastener, and the fastener is electrically connected to the abutting member and the battery.

6 . The electronic cigarette device according to claim 4 , wherein a second outer electrode is arranged outside the second inner electrode, and a second insulating sleeve is provided between the second outer electrode and the second inner electrode, the engaging groove is provided at one end of the second outer electrode, and the second outer electrode is configured to be electrically connected to the atomizer and another electrode of the battery.

7 . The electronic cigarette device according to claim 6 , wherein the guide groove and the stopper are provided on an inner wall of the second outer electrode, an end surface of the second insulating sleeve is provided with a gap at a position corresponding to the guide groove and the stopper, and a space enclosed by the gap and the stopper forms the directing groove and the retaining groove.

8 . The electronic cigarette according to claim 6 , wherein the guide groove, the retaining groove and the stopper are all provided on an inner wall of the second outer electrode, a stopping step is formed on the inner wall of the second outer electrode, an end surface of the second insulating sleeve abuts against the stopping step, and a space enclosed by a portion, corresponding to the stopper, of the end surface of the second insulating sleeve and the stopper forms the directing groove.

9 . The electronic device cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein one end of the atomizer is provided with a first outer electrode, a first inner electrode, and a first insulating sleeve located between the first outer electrode and the first inner electrode, and the first outer electrode is arranged outside the first inner electrode, the first outer electrode and the first inner electrode are both electrically connected to an electric heating wire in the atomizer, and the retaining member is provided on an outer peripheral surface of the first outer electrode.

10 . The electronic cigarette device according to claim 9 , wherein there are at least two retaining members, which are located symmetrically at two sides of the first outer electrode, and the battery rod is provided with at least two guide grooves, two directing grooves, two retaining grooves and two stoppers corresponding to the retaining members.
