Abstract

There is provided in the present application an electronic cigarette, including an electric heating wire and an electrode. The electric heating wire is electrically conducted to the electrode via a conductor. In the electronic cigarette according to the present application, the electric heating wire is electrically conducted to the electrode via the conductor, instead of a copper sheet and a lead with smaller volumes. In this way, the problem of poor contact which is likely to occur in connection of various conductors could be avoided, so that a phenomenon of an unstable value of resistance in the circuit may be avoided, and emission of smoke becomes more even.

First claim

1 . An electronic cigarette, comprising an electric heating wire, an electrode, and a conductor electrically conducting the electric heating wire with the electrode, wherein the electric heating wire and the conductor are connected by way of riveting.

2 . The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor is a strip-shaped or rod-shaped conductor, and has a riveting section provided with two wing pieces and connected to the electric heating wire, and the two wing pieces are provided symmetrically and have a same structure.

3 . The electronic cigarette according to claim 2 , wherein the wing piece is a tooth-shaped wing piece.

4 . The electronic cigarette according to claim 2 , wherein the wing piece is a notch-shaped wing piece.

5 . The electronic cigarette according to claim 2 , wherein the wing piece is a plate-shaped wing piece.

6 . The electronic cigarette according to claim 2 , wherein the two wing pieces are provided in a V-shape on the conductor, and form therebetween an angle ranged from 20 degrees to 80 degrees.

7 . The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor is a metal sheet or a metal tube, and wherein, in the case of the metal sheet, the conductor has a thickness ranged from 0.1 millimeter to 0.5 millimeter.

8 . The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor has an extending section connected to the electrode by way of welding or interference fit.

9 . The electronic cigarette according to claim 2 , wherein the conductor has an extending section connected to the electrode by way of welding or interference fit.

10 . The electronic cigarette according to claim 3 , wherein the conductor has an extending section connected to the electrode by way of welding or interference fit.

11 . The electronic cigarette according to claim 4 , wherein the conductor has an extending section connected to the electrode by way of welding or interference fit.

12 . The electronic cigarette according to claim 5 , wherein the conductor has an extending section connected to the electrode by way of welding or interference fit.

13 . The electronic cigarette according to claim 6 , wherein the conductor has an extending section connected to the electrode by way of welding or interference fit.

14 . The electronic cigarette according to claim 7 , wherein the conductor has an extending section connected to the electrode by way of welding or interference fit.
