Abstract

The present application provides an electronic cigarette. The electronic cigarette includes: a body of the electronic cigarette, a suction end, a liquid storage, an atomizing assembly, and a battery rod assembly. The liquid storage is arranged on the body of the electronic cigarette at an end away from the suction end; the atomizing assembly is disposed between the battery rod assembly and the liquid storage, and two ends of the atomizing assembly are respectively provided with a first connection section and a second connection section which have different connecting structures; the atomizing assembly is connected to the battery rod assembly via the first connection section, and the atomizing assembly is connected to the liquid storage via the second connection section. When the electronic cigarette subjected an external screwing force along one direction, only one of the battery rod assembly and the liquid storage can be screwed out.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electronic cigarette, comprising:
a body of the electronic cigarette; wherein
the body of the electronic cigarette includes a suction end, a liquid storage for storing liquid, an atomizing assembly for atomizing the liquid and a battery rod assembly for supplying power to the atomizing assembly;
the liquid storage is arranged on the body of the electronic cigarette at an end away from the suction end;
the atomizing assembly is disposed between the battery rod assembly and the liquid storage, a first connection section and a second connection section are provided at two ends of the atomizing assembly, respectively, and the first connection section and the second connection section have different connecting structures; and
the atomizing assembly is connected to the battery rod assembly via the first connection section, and the atomizing assembly is connected to the liquid storage via the second connection section,
wherein the second connection section is a first threaded segment;
an opening end of the liquid storage is provided with first matching threads adapted to be in thread connection with the first threaded segment;
the first connection section is a first fastener; and
an end of the battery rod assembly connecting with the atomizing assembly is provided with a first clamping groove at a position corresponding to that of the first fastener, and the first fastener is adapted to be clamped in the first clamping groove,
wherein the atomizing assembly comprises an inner electrode, an outer electrode sleeved on the inner electrode and a heating wire electrically connected to each of the inner electrode and the outer electrode for atomizing the liquid;
an elastic element is sleeved in the outer electrode;
the first fastener is arranged on the elastic element and passes through the outer electrode to reach an outer surface of the atomizing assembly.

2. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein
the end of the battery rod assembly connecting with the atomizing assembly is provided with a first butt groove;
a side wall of the first butt groove is provided with a first guide groove extending along a radial direction of the battery rod assembly for guiding the first fastener;
the first clamping groove is arranged on the side wall of the first butt groove and is disposed at two sides of the first guide groove, and the first guide groove and the first clamping groove are communicated with each other.

3. The electronic cigarette according to claim 2 , wherein the first fastener is elastic fastener.

4. The electronic cigarette according to claim 2 , wherein a magnetic element for attracting the fastener is arranged on a side wall of the first clamping groove.

5. The electronic cigarette according to claim 2 , wherein an elastic limiting element for limiting a position of the fastener is arranged on the first clamping groove.

6. The electronic cigarette according to claim 5 , wherein a position limiting groove for receiving the fastener is provided in a central portion of the elastic limiting element.

7. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic element is a metal elastic strip or an annular metal wire.

8. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein the suction end is disposed outside an end of the battery rod assembly connecting with the atomizing assembly or the suction end is disposed in a central portion of the battery rod assembly, or the suction end is disposed on the battery rod assembly at a position away from the atomizing assembly.

9. The electronic cigarette according to claim 1 , wherein the atomizing assembly and the battery rod assembly are coaxially arranged.
