DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS
[0016] To further illustrate, embodiments detailing an electronic cigarette
are described
below. It should be noted that the following embodiments are intended to
describe and
not to limit the disclosure.
[0017] As shown in FIGS. 1-5, the disclosure provides an electronic cigarette
comprising an atomization assembly A and a battery assembly B. The atomization

assembly is directly connected to the battery assembly. The atomization
assembly A
comprises a mouthpiece 1, a glass tube 15, a first seal ring 2 sealing the
glass tube, an
atomizer comprising a head 4 and a base 8, a second seal ring 3 sealing the
head, a vent
tube 5, a third seal ring 6 sealing the base of the atomizer, and an
atomization core, the
atomization core comprising a silica seal 9, a silica sleeve comprising a vent
10, a
ceramic core 11, a pedestal 12, a first insulation ring 13, a heating tube 7,
and a joint 14.
The first seal ring 2 is disposed iu the mouthpiece 1; the second seal ring 3
is sheathed on
the head 4; the head 4 is disposed on the vent tube 5; the vent tube 5 is
disposed on the
base 8; the third seal ring 6 is sheathed on the base 8; the ceramic core 11
and the silica
sleeve comprising a vent 10 are disposed on the pedestal 12; the silica seal 9
is disposed
on the ceramic core 11; the first insulation ring 13 is disposed in the
pedestal 12; the
heating tube 7 is disposed on the joint 14; the joint 14 is embedded in the
first insulation

ring 13; the atomization core is embedded in the base 8; the glass tube 15 is
sheathed on
the base 8, and the mouthpiece 1 is in threaded connection to the head 4.
[0018] Open the mouthpiece 1, the e-liquid can be injected in the atomizer
through the
opening of the glass tube 15. Thereafter, the e-liquid penetrates from the
inlet of the base
8 of the atomizer into the ceramic core 11. During the penetration, the e-
liquid will
produce bubbles. The bubbles can release from the gear grooves or knurling
grooves thus
preventing the blockage of the inlet of the e-liquid.
[0019] The heating tube 7 of the atomization assembly is directly connected to
the joint
14, which means the heating tube is indirectly connected to the positive pole
of the
ceramic core 11, and communicates with the mouthpiece 1 and the pneumatic
switch 23
of the battery assembly. During smoking, the thermal vapor flow can enter the
heating
tube to drive the pneumatic switch to work and heat the ceramic core, so that
the e-liquid
in the atomization assembly is heated to a free state, thus preventing the
blockage of the
conveying pipe by the condensed e-liquid.
[0020] The battery assembly comprises an electrode 16, a second insulation
ring 17
coating the electrode, a connector 18, a cartridge 19, a silica insulator 20,
a battery core
21, a silica sleeve 22, a pneumatic switch 23, a USB-PCB 27, and a pedestal
24. The
pneumatic switch 23 comprises positive and negative poles connected to
positive and
negative poles of an output end of the USB-PCB 27; the pneumatic switch 23 is
disposed
in the silica sleeve 22 and connected to positive and negative poles of the
battery core 21;
the silica insulator 20 is disposed on the battery core 21; the battery core
21 is disposed in
the cartridge 19; the second insulation ring 17 is disposed in the connector
18; the
electrode 16 is disposed in the second insulation ring 17; the connector 18 is
fixed on the
cartridge 19; the USB-PCB 27 is disposed in the pedestal 24; and the pedestal
24 is fixed
on a terminal end of the cartridge 19. The pedestal 12 of the atomization
assembly is in
threaded connection to the connector 18 of the battery assembly. The
electronic cigarette
is a three-dimensional cylindrical structure, and is compact and easy to
carry.

[0021] It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and
modifications may
be made, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such
changes and
modifications.
