`
`
`An aerosol electronic cigarette
`
`Technical Field
`The present invention relates to an electronic cigarette, in particular to an electronic
`
`atomization cigarette that contains only nicotine without tar.
`
`
`Background Art
`Despite it is commonly known that "smoking is harmful to your health", the number of
`
`smokers worldwide is up to 1 billion, and the number is increasing every year, On March 1,
`2003, the World Health Organization (WHO) concluded a global Framework Convention on
`Tobacco Control. According to the statistical data from WHO, about 4.9 million people die of
`diseases caused by smoking each year. Although smoking may cause serious respiratory
`diseases and cancer, it remains extremely difficult for smokers to quit smoking completely.
`
`The active ingredient in a cigarette is nicotine. During smoking, nicotine, along with a lot
`of tar aerosol droplets produced in the cigarette burning, enters smoker's alveolus and is
`rapidly absorbed. After being absorbed into the blood of a smoker, nicotine then produces its
`effect on the receptors of the smoker's central nervous system, which makes him/her relax
`and enjoy an inebriety similar to that produced by an exhilarant.
`
`Nicotine is a kind of alkaloid with low molecular weight, a small dose of nicotine is
`essentially harmless to human body and its half-life in blood is quite short. Actually the major
`harmful substance in tobacco is tar, tar in tobacco is composed of thousands of ingredients,
`tens of which are carcinogenic substances. At present it has been proven that passive smoking
`can be more harmful on non-smokers.
`
`Some cigarette substitutes that contain only nicotine without tar have been proposed,
`many of them, such as "nicotine patch", "nicotine mouthwash", "spray agent packaged in
`high pressure gas tank with propellant", "nicotine chewing gum", "nicotine drink" etc., are
`made of pure nicotine. Although these cigarette substitutes are free from tar, their major
`disadvantage is that an effective peak concentration can not be reached in the blood of a
`smoker due to slow absorption of nicotine and thus it can not make a smoker get real fun, in
`addition, these cigarette substitutes can not satisfy habitual smoking actions of a smoker, for
`example, inhaling action or sucking action, and thus are not likely to be widely accepted as
`effective substitutes for quitting smoking or cigarette substitutes.
`
`
`The Summary of the Invention
`To overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, an objective of the present invention is to
`
`provide an electronic atomization cigarette that functions as substitutes for quitting smoking
`and cigarette substitutes.
`
`The objective of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solution.
`
`The present invention includes a shell; a mouthpiece; an air inlet provided in the external
`wall of the shell; an electronic circuit board, a normal pressure cavity, a sensor, a vapor-liquid
`separator, an atomizer, a liquid-supplying bottle arranged sequentially within the shell; a

`electronic circuit board comprises an electronic switching circuit and a high frequency
`generator; the liquid-supplying bottle is in contact with the atomizer; and the air inlet, normal
`pressure cavity, vapor-liquid separator, atomizer, aerosol passage, gas vent and mouthpiece
`are sequentially interconnected. A LED and a cell are provided at the front end within the

`
`
`U1 is the core of the electronic switch circuit. K1 refers to the Reed switch (in the sensor 6),
`RL refers to the heating element (in the atomizer 9), LED1 refers to the Light Emitting Diode,
`U2 refers to the low voltage detecting element used for the over-discharging protection of the
`lithium cell, M1 refers to the first piezoelectric element, and the first capacitor C1, the second
`capacitor C2, the third resistor R3, the first inductor L1, the third capacitor C3, the triode
`BG1, the first piezoelectric element M1 collectively constitute a Colpitts oscillator. The
`operating principle of the circuit is as follows: when K1 is closed, U1, i.e., the field effect
`power transistor, is turned on, RL starts, and the Colpitts oscillator starts oscillating, M1 will
`provide the high frequency mechanical oscillatory wave to the atomizer 9 to achieve the
`result of atomization.
` When a smoker smokes, the mouthpiece 15 is under negative pressure, the air pressure
`difference or high speed stream between the normal pressure cavity 5 and the negative
`pressure cavity 8 will cause the sensor 6 to output an actuating signal, the electronic circuit
`board 3 connected therewith goes into operation. Now the ripple film 22 in the sensor 6 is
`deformed to take the second magnetic steel 21 away from the Reed switch K1, and the Reed
`switch 19 is then closed (i.e., K1 is closed) under the effect of the excessive magnetic line of
`force from the first magnetic steel 20, starting the field effect power transistor electronic
`switch (i.e., U1 is opened). The high frequency oscillator may uses the Colpitts oscillator
`with the frequency of 550KHz-8MHz, the automatic fine-adjusting element in the circuit
`resonates with the first piezoelectric element M1 in the form of a ring to supply power to
`liquid molecule, and the LED 1 can be lit under the supply of the rechargeable battery 2. The
`air enters the normal pressure cavity 5 through the air inlet 4, passes through the air passage
`18 of the sensor and then the through hole in the vapor-liquid separator 7, and flows into the
`atomization cavity 10 in the atomizer 9. The high speed stream passing through the ejection
`hole drives the nicotine solution in the porous body 27 to eject into the atomization cavity 10
`in the form of droplet, where the nicotine solution is subjected to the ultrasonic atomization
`by the first piezoelectric element M1 and is further atomized by the heating element RL.
`After the atomization, the droplets with large diameter stick to the wall under the action of
`eddy flow and are reabsorbed by the porous body 27 via the overflow hole 29, whereas the
`droplets with small diameter float in stream and forms aerosols, which are sucked out via the
`aerosol passage 12, gas vent 17 and mouthpiece 15. The solution storage porous body 28 in
`the liquid-supplying bottle 11 will be in contact with the bulge 36 on the atomizer 9, thereby
`achieving the capillary infiltration liquid-supplying.
`
`The mouthpiece 15 is threaded. When the nicotine solution in the liquid-supplying bottle
`11 is used up, users can screw the mouthpiece 15 out to take the liquid-supplying bottle 11
`out, refill the liquid-supplying bottle 11 with the nicotine solution, put the liquid-supplying
`bottle 11 into the shell 14 again, and then screw the mouthpiece 15.
`
`The Reed switch K1, the first magnetic steel 20, the second magnetic steel 21, the ripple
`film 22 can be replaced by a semiconductor strain gauge with sealed film, which is mounted
`in the place of the sensor ripple film.
`
`To simplify the design, the first piezoelectric element M1 on the atomizer 9 can be
`omitted, and the atomization of the nicotine solution will be made only by the heating
`element RL. The size of such an atomizer can be made smaller, and the structure of the
`connection of the whole electronic atomization cigarette is the same as the embodiment 1. In
`addition, as shown in Fig. 8, the first piezoelectric element M1 and the heating element RL in
`the atomizer 9 can be omitted, an additional second piezoelectric element 35 in the form of
`platen with a single layer or multiple laminated layers can be arranged in the atomization
`cavity, and the stream passing through the ejection hole vibrates the focus at the center of the
`second piezoelectric element 35 to achieve the effect of strong ultrasonic atomization.
`
`As shown in Fig. 10, a silicon gel check valve 31 may cover the outside of the through

`
`
`hole on the vapor-liquid separator 7. During smoking, a stream reaches the through hole, as
`the air pressure in the through hole increases, the silicon gel check valve 31 is opened and the
`stream passes; otherwise, the silicon gel check valve 31 is closed.
`
`As shown in Fig. 5, the sensor 6 may also be designed into a structure with the silicon gel
`check valve 31. During smoking, the stream comes into the silicon gel check valve 31, the air
`pressure increases and the air expands, the third magnetic steel 34 in the valve approaches the
`Reed switch K1 gradually until the Reed switch K1 is closed and the circuit is turned on, and
`the air outlet of the silicon gel check valve 31 is opened with the increment of the air pressure
`difference. The Reed switch K1 can also be made of Hall device or magneto diode or
`magneto triode instead.
`
`Embodiment 2
`
`As shown in Fig. 2, to improve the liquid-supplying state, the atomizer 9 is postposed
`within the shell 14, and the liquid-supplying bottle 11 is arranged between the vapor-liquid
`separator 7 and the atomizer 9. A spring piece 33 for pressing the liquid-supplying bottle 11
`on the atomizer 9 is provided on one end of the liquid-supplying bottle 11. Other components
`and their functions are the same as those in the embodiment 1.
`
`On the inner wall of the shell 14 of the electronic atomization cigarette described in the
`embodiment 1 and 2, a digital display screen 32 connected to the field effect power transistor
`U1 for showing the smoking times per day and the cell capacity can be also provided. The
`sensor 6 uses a linear signal output, which is proportional to the suction force (i.e., the
`stronger one sucks, the longer the time of operation is), the atomizer 9 operates in the linear
`mode, thereby simulating a humanized cigarette that looks like a normal cigarette.
` Within the shell 14, the microswitch 16 is connected to the sensor 6 in parallel and used
`for manually cleaning, When users do not smoke, they press the microswitch 16 to start the
`sensor 6 connected therewith in parallel, or clean the residue or other impurity substance
`within the shell 14.
`
`The nicotine solution for atomization contains 0.4~3.5% nicotine, 0.05~2% cigarette
`essence, 0.1~3.1% organic acid, 0.1-0.5% anti-oxidation agent, and the rest is 1, 2-propylene
`glycol.
