Abstract

The present invention provides an electronic cigarette with a battery rod disposed inside. The electronic cigarette comprises an inhalation rod and a battery rod which are mutually connected to form an integral. A connecting end of the inhalation rod disposes a first connector. A connecting end of the battery rod disposes a second connector. The battery rod stretches into the inhalation rod from the connecting end of the inhalation rod, and is accommodated and fixed in the inhalation rod. The connecting end of the inhalation rod and the connecting end of the battery rod are threadedly connected by using the first connector and the second connector to be screwing connected. The electronic cigarette has a shorter length, the structure is more compact, and the assembly is convenient, and the electronic cigarette has a greater amount of aerosol, facilitating to observe the balance of the e-liquid and being able to reduce or avoid users to inhale in e-liquid.

First claim

What is claimed is:

An electronic cigarette with a built-in battery rod, comprising an inhalation rod and a battery rod which are mutually connected together; the inhalation rod comprising a cartridge acting as a housing of the inhalation rod, an e-liquid cup disposed in the cartridge for storing e-liquid, an atomizer used to make e-liquid to be vaporized to aerosol and a mouthpiece cover assembly disposed at one end of the cartridge for users to suck on; the battery rod comprising a sleeve acting as a housing of the battery rod and a battery disposed in the sleeve operable to supply working power for the inhalation rod; wherein a connecting end of the inhalation rod disposes a first connector, a connecting end of the battery rod disposes a second connector; the battery rod extends into the inhalation rod from the connecting end of the inhalation rod, and is accommodated and fixed in the inhalation rod;
the connecting end of the inhalation rod and the connecting end of the battery rod are threadedly fixed by using the first connector and the second connector;
the first connector defines an inner thread hole, while on the second connector disposes an outer thread column which is threadedly connected with the inner thread hole;
the first connector comprises a cartridge seat disposed at a bottom of the cartridge for sealing the bottom of the cartridge, a cylindrical liquid-isolating tube passing through the cartridge seat, extending into the cartridge and fixed on the cartridge seat, and a connecting sleeve disposed on an inner sidewall of a bottom of the liquid-isolating tube; in the connecting sleeve defines the inner thread hole; the second connector comprises a sleeve seat disposed at a bottom of the sleeve for sealing the bottom of the sleeve; a top of the sleeve seat is securely connected with the sleeve; the sleeve seat forms the outer thread column formed at a middle thereof and matching with the inner thread hole; the bottom of the sleeve seat disposes a seat body for users to hold.

2. The electronic cigarette as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cartridge is made of transparent material.

3. The electronic cigarette as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a central portion of the cartridge seat disposes a mounting hole axially through used to install the liquid-isolating tube; the bottom of the liquid-isolating tube is fixed in the mounting hole.

4. The electronic cigarette as claimed in claim 1 , wherein between a seat body of the sleeve seat and the outer thread column further disposes an annual groove for installing a sealing ring.

5. The electronic cigarette as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in the battery rod disposes a control board for controlling working of the atomizer; the sleeve seat further defines an accommodating chamber therein; the control board is accommodated in the accommodating chamber.

6. The electronic cigarette as claimed in claim 1 , wherein on a top of the liquid-isolating tube further disposes a first electrode assembly; one end of the battery rod opposite to the connecting end of the battery rod disposes a second electrode assembly for matching with the first electrode assembly; the battery rod inserts into the inhalation rod, making a positive electrode and a negative electrode of the first electrode assembly to respectively abut with a positive electrode and a negative electrode of the second electrode assembly and then conduct an electrical circuit.

7. The electronic cigarette as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the first electrode assembly comprises a first seat body and a first electrode pole acting as a positive electrode and a negative electrode of the atomizer respectively; the first seat body and the liquid-isolating tube are securely connected; the first electrode pole uses a first insulation piece to be inserted and accommodated in the central of the first seat body, and two ends of the first electrode pole are exposed; the second electrode assembly comprises a second seat body and a second electrode pole acting as a positive electrode and a negative electrode of the battery respectively; the second seat body and a top of the sleeve are securely connected; the second electrode pole uses a second insulation piece to be inserted and accommodated in the central of the second seat body, and two ends of the second electrode pole are exposed.

8. The electronic cigarette as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a space between an inner sidewall of the cartridge and an outer sidewall of the liquid-isolating tube together with a space between the cartridge seat and the mouthpiece cover assembly together limit an enclosed space forming the e-liquid cup for storing e-liquid; the liquid-isolating tube is made of transparent plastic material.

9. The electronic cigarette as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in the inhalation rod further disposes an atomization seat assembly used to fix the atomizer and for the atomizer working inside the atomization seat assembly; the atomization seat assembly includes an atomization seat and an atomization cover; the atomization seat and the atomization cover are mutually clamped to clamping fix the atomizer, and between the atomization seat and the atomization cover forms an atomization chamber for the atomizer to vaporize e-liquid to aerosol therein.

10. The electronic cigarette as claimed in claim 9 , wherein in the inhalation rod further disposes a sleeve assembly acting as an aerosol channel; the sleeve assembly wraps the atomization seat assembly inside; the sleeve assembly includes a first sleeve and a second sleeve which are mutually sleeved to form a hollow pipe inside thereof to act as aerosol channel; the first sleeve and the second sleeve mutually sleeve to further clamping fix the atomizer.

11. The electronic cigarette as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the atomizer includes a heating wire and a liquid-guiding member for absorbing e-liquid and supporting the heating wire; the heating wire winds on the liquid-guiding member; two ends of the first sleeve are open; a latching slot is radially disposed through an upper sidewall of the first sleeve for the liquid-guiding member passing through; the liquid-guiding member is across on the latching slot and extends out of the first sleeve; a bottom of the second sleeve is open; the second sleeve is sheathed at the upper outside of the first sleeve; the bottom of the second sleeve abuts on the liquid-guiding member and acts with the first sleeve to further clamp the liquid-guiding member; a top of the second sleeve fluidly communicates with the mouthpiece.

12. An electronic cigarette with a built-in battery rod, comprising an inhalation rod and a battery rod which are mutually connected together; the inhalation rod comprising a cartridge acting as a housing of the inhalation rod, an e-liquid cup disposed in the cartridge for storing e-liquid, an atomizer used to make e-liquid to be vaporized to aerosol and a mouthpiece cover assembly disposed at one end of the cartridge for users to suck on; the battery rod comprising a sleeve acting as a housing of the battery rod and a battery disposed in the sleeve operable to supply working power for the inhalation rod; wherein a connecting end of the inhalation rod disposes a first connector, a connecting end of the battery rod disposes a second connector; the battery rod extends into the inhalation rod from the connecting end of the inhalation rod, and is accommodated and fixed in the inhalation rod; the connecting end of the inhalation rod and the connecting end of the battery rod are threadedly fixed by using the first connector and the second connector;
