`AEROSOL ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE
`
`TECHNICAL FIELD
`
`The present invention relates to an electronic cigarette, in
`particular, an aerosol electronic cigarette that doesn't contain
`tar but nicotine.
`
`BACKGROUND ART
`

`of the shell, which is detachable. The said cigarette bottle
`assembly fits with the said atomizer assembly. The said shell
`has through-air-inlets.
`The additional features of this invention are as follows: the
`said battery assembly includes the battery, and the operating
`indicator, electronic circuit board, and airflow sensor, which
`are connected with the said battery; the signal output of the
`said airflow sensor is connected with the said electronic cir(cid:173)
`cuitboard.
`It also includes a check valve. The said battery is a
`rechargeable battery, which has a flexibly connected charging
`plug. The blades of the said plug come out of the other end of
`the said shell.
`Between the said charging plug and rechargeable battery is
`a spring, which lies against the body of the said rechargeable
`battery on one end, and its free end lies against the said
`charging plug.
`The said battery is a rechargeable battery, which has a
`charging slot on it. The said operating indicator is a LED.
`The said airflow sensor may be alternatively a semiconduc(cid:173)
`tor force-sensitive chip capacitance sensor or an inductance
`sensor.
`The said electronic circuit board includes an electronic
`switch circuit.
`The said airflow sensor has a silica gel corrugated mem(cid:173)
`brane, which connects with magnetic steel with a reed relay
`on one of its ends. Both ends of the said reed relay correspond
`to the relay electrodes.
`The said airflow sensor has a silica gel corrugated mem(cid:173)
`brane, which connects with magnetic steel with a Hall ele(cid:173)
`ment or a magneto-diode or a magneto-triode on one of its
`ends.
`The said atomizer assembly is an atomizer, which includes
`a porous component and a heating body.
`The said atomizer also includes an electric heating rod. The
`body of the said porous component has a run-through atom(cid:173)
`izing chamber. The diameter of the said electric heating rod is
`less than the diameter of the said atomizing chamber. The said
`electric heating rod enters into the said atomizing chamber,
`and there is a clearance between the said electric heating rod
`and interior wall of the atomizing chamber. The said clear-
`ance forms a negative pressure cavity. One end of the said
`porous component fits with the said cigarette bottle assembly.
`The said electric heating rod includes a cylinder. The said
`45 heating body is heating wire, which is wound on the wall of
`the said cylinder. The said porous component has a protuber(cid:173)
`ance on one end, and the said protuberance fits with the said
`cigarette bottle assembly. The said protuberance is a half
`sphere, on the side of which there is a run-through hole
`50 connecting to the said atomizing chamber.
`The said electric heating rod includes a cylinder. The said
`heating body is made of electrically conductive ceramic PTC
`material. The said heating body is set on the wall of the said
`cylinder. On the wall of both ends of the said cylinder, there
`55 are mandrils respectively. The said porous component has a
`protuberance on one end, and the said protuberance fits with
`the said cigarette bottle assembly. The said protuberance is a
`half sphere, on the side of which there is a run-through hole
`connecting to the said atomizing chamber.
`The said heating body is heating wire. The said atomizer
`assembly includes a frame. The said porous component is set
`on the said frame. The said porous component is wound with
`heating wire. The said frame has a run-through hole on it. The
`said porous component is wound with heating wire in the part
`65 that is on the side in the axial direction of the said run-through
`hole. One end of the said porous component fits with the said
`cigarette bottle assembly.

`
`Today when "smoking is harmful to your health" has
`become a common sense, there are one billion people smok(cid:173)
`ing cigarettes, and this figure is still rising. On Mar. 1, 2003,
`the World Health Organization (WHO) issued the first inter(cid:173)
`national smoking ban-Framework Convention on Tobacco 15
`Control. According to WHO's data, smoking causes 4,900,
`000 deaths each year. Smoking causes serious respiratory
`system diseases and cancers, though it is a hard job to per(cid:173)
`suade the smokers to completely quit smoking.
`Nicotine is the effective ingredient of cigarette, which pro- 20
`duces a lot of tar mist as the cigarette bums. The tar mist
`accesses the pulmonary alveolus and is quickly absorbed into
`the blood. Nicotine thus acts on the receptor of the central
`nervous system, bringing the euphoria like stimulant drugs to
`the smokers, who feel light in the head and on wings as well. 25
`Nicotine is a micromolecular alkaloid, which is basically
`harmless to human bodies with a small dosage. Plus, its half
`life period is extremely short in blood. Tar is the major harm-
`ful substance in tobacco. Tobacco tar comprises of several
`thousands of ingredients, dozens of which are carcinogenic 30
`substances. It has now been proved that second hand smoking
`is even more harmful to those who don't smoke.
`To seek the cigarette substitutes that don't contain harmful
`tar but nicotine, many inventors have used the relatively pure
`nicotine to create such products as "Cigarette Patch", "Nico- 35
`tine Gargle", "Aerosol Packed in the High Pressure Tank with
`Propellant", "Nicotine Chewing Gum", and "Nicotine Bev(cid:173)
`erage". These products are not as harmful as tar, but are
`absorbed very slowly. As a result, its peak concentration can't
`be effectively established in blood, and the smokers can't be 40
`satisfied to the full. In addition, the smokers are deprived of
`the "smoking" habit. Therefore, the substituting products are
`not real cigarette substitutes or products helping to quit smok(cid:173)
`ing.
`The electronic cigarettes currently available on the market
`may resolve the above-mentioned issue, though they are com(cid:173)
`plicated in structure. Their cigarette bodies can be roughly
`divided into three sections, which have to be connected
`through via plugging or thread coupling before use. Also,
`their batteries have to be changed frequently, making it incon(cid:173)
`venient for the users. What's worse, the electronic cigarettes
`don't provide the ideal aerosol effects, and their atomizing
`efficiency is not high.
`
`CONTENTS OF INVENTION
`
`To overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages, this
`invention has been designed to provide an aerosol electronic
`cigarette that substitutes for cigarettes and helps the smokers
`to quit smoking.
`The purpose of this invention is fulfilled with the following
`technical solution: an aerosol electronic cigarette includes a
`battery assembly, an atomizer assembly and a cigarette bottle
`assembly, and also includes a shell, which is hollow and
`integrally formed. The said battery assembly connects with
`the said atomizer assembly and both are located in the said
`shell. The said cigarette bottle assembly is located in one end

`The said porous component is made of foamed nickel,
`stainless steel fiber felt, macromolecular polymer foam or
`foamed ceramics.
`The said heating wire is made of platinum wire, nickel(cid:173)
`chromium alloy wire or iron-chromium alloy wire containing
`rare earth, or is flaked.
`A restriction component, which is detachable, is set on one
`end of the said porous component. There is a restriction hole
`on the body of the said restriction component. The said
`restriction hole corresponds to the said atomizing chamber.
`The pore diameter of the said restriction hole is less than the
`inner diameter of the atomizing chamber.
`The said cigarette bottle assembly includes a hollow ciga(cid:173)
`rette holder shell, and a perforated component for liquid
`storage inside the said cigarette holder shell. One end of the
`said cigarette holder shell plugs into the said shell, and the
`outer peripheral surface of the said cigarette holder shell has
`an inward ventilating groove. On one end surface of the said
`cigarette holder shell, there is an air channel extending
`inward.
`The said air channel is located in the center on one end
`surface of the said cigarette holder shell.
`One end of the said porous component lies against one end
`surface of the said perforated component for liquid storage,
`and contacts the said perforated component for liquid storage.
`The said perforated component for liquid storage is made
`of such materials as PLA fiber, terylene fiber or nylon fiber.
`The said perforated component for liquid storage is plastic
`foam molding or colunm of multi-layer plates made through
`plastic injection with polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene and 30
`polycarbonate.
`The said electronic cigarette is held in a charging device.
`The said charging device includes a case, which contains
`an auxiliary charging storage battery inside it, and holds the
`electronic cigarette and the charger for the rechargeable bat- 35
`tery embedded in the electronic cigarette, as well as the power
`supply circuit. The power inputs of the said auxiliary charging
`storage battery and charger are connected with the power
`supply circuit respectively.
`The said case has a spare liquid supply bottle in it.
`The power output of the said auxiliary charging storage
`battery is connected with the power input of the said charger.
`The power output of the said charger is a charging slot,
`which fits with the charging plug of the rechargeable battery
`inside the said electronic cigarette, or a charging plug, which 45
`fits with the charging slot of the rechargeable battery.
`The said charger is a constant voltage & current charger.
`On the body of the said shell, there is a pair of slide ways
`corresponding to the position of the said electronic cigarette,
`and on the slide ways, there is a slide cover.
`This invention will bring the following benefits: (1) For this
`invention, the perforated component for liquid storage of the
`cigarette bottle assembly stores the nicotine liquid only,
`which doesn't contain cigarette tar, considerably reducing the
`carcinogenic risks of smoking. At the same time, the smokers
`can still enjoy the feel and excitement of smoking, and there
`is no fire hazard since there is no need for igniting. (2) For this
`invention, the battery assembly and atomizer assembly are
`directly installed inside the shell, and then connected with the
`cigarette bottle assembly. That is, there is just one connection 60
`between two parts, resulting in a very simple structure. For
`use or change, you just need to plug the cigarette holder into
`the shell, providing great convenience. When the nicotine
`liquid in the cigarette bottle assembly is used up or the ciga(cid:173)
`rette bottle assembly is damaged and needs to be changed, the 65
`operation will be extremely easy. (3) For this invention, the
`rechargeable battery inside the battery assembly has a charg-
`
`4
`ing plug, whose blades come out of the shell. When the
`rechargeable battery inside the electronic cigarette runs out of
`power, it may be directly plugged into the charger for charg(cid:173)
`ing, with no need to remove the rechargeable battery, result(cid:173)
`ing in very easy use. ( 4) For this invention, the charging
`device includes the charger and the auxiliary charging storage
`battery. The electronic cigarette is put inside the charger when
`not in use, and then the charging device may be electrified to
`charge the electronic cigarette and the auxiliary charging
`10 storage battery as well. In the event that power supply is not
`available for the charging device, the auxiliary charging stor(cid:173)
`age battery may be used to charge the electronic cigarette.
`Therefore, the electronic cigarette can be charged anywhere
`you go, and it is very suitable for use when you are on a
`15 business or tourist trip. Further, the charging device includes
`a spare liquid supply bottle, which contains nicotine liquid for
`spare use when you are on a business or tourist trip. (5) For
`this invention, on one end of the shell of the cigarette bottle
`assembly, there is an air channel extending inward. The elec-
`20 tronic cigarette works to produce mist, which flows to the
`shell, generating some fine drips; the fine drips are condensed
`into bigger drips, which fall along the exterior wall of the air
`channel into the cavity of the shell of the cigarette bottle
`assembly, so that they are not inhaled by the smoker out of the
`25 air channel. ( 6) In addition, with a little bit modification to the
`liquid storage, the unit and its connecting structure of this
`invention may also be loaded with drugs for delivery to the
`lung.

`charging function and protect the rechargeable battery (3)
`against any damage. The operating indicator (1) is a LED. In
`this embodiment, there are two LEDs. The electronic circuit
`board ( 4) includes an electronic switch circuit, which controls
`the electric circuit according to the input signals, so that the
`rechargeable battery (3) electrifies the electric heating rod
`(82) inside the atomizer (8) and the LEDs as well.
`As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the airflow sensor (5) has a
`silica gel corrugated membrane (53), which connects with
`10 magnetic steel (54) with a reed relay (52) on one of its ends.
`Both ends of the said reed relay (52) correspond to the relay
`electrodes (51) respectively.
`As shown in FIG. 5-8, the atomizer assembly is an atomizer
`(8), which includes a porous component (81) and a heating
`15 rod (82). The body of the porous component (82) has a run(cid:173)
`through atomizing chamber (811). The diameter of the elec(cid:173)
`tric heating rod (82) is less than the diameter of the atomizing
`chamber (811). The electric heating rod (82) enters into the
`atomizing chamber (811), and there is a clearance between
`20 the electric heating rod (82) and interior wall of the atomizing
`chamber (811), which forms a negative pressure cavity (83).
`One end of the said porous component (81) fits with the said
`cigarette bottle assembly. As FIGS. 5, 7 and 8 show, the
`porous component (81) has a protuberance (812) on the other
`25 end, and the protuberance (812) fits with the cigarette bottle
`assembly. The protuberance (812) is a protruding half sphere,
`on the side of which there is a run-through hole (813) con(cid:173)
`necting to the atomizing chamber (811). Of course, the pro-
`tuberance (812) may also be a taper, rectangle or any other
`shape. The porous component (81) is made of foamed nickel,
`stainless steel fiber felt, macromolecular polymer foam or
`foamed ceramics, providing the remarkable capabilities in
`liquid absorption and diffusion, and the ability to absorb the
`liquid stored in the cigarette bottle assembly.
`As shown in FIG. 6, the electric heating rod (82) includes
`a cylinder (821). The heating wire (822) is wound on the wall
`of the cylinder (821). On the wall of both ends of the cylinder
`(821), there are mandrils (823) respectively, which lie against
`the interior wall of the atomizing chamber (811) of the porous
`40 component (81). There is a negative pressure cavity (83)
`between the electric heating rod and interior wall of the atom(cid:173)
`izing chamber.
`The heating wire is made of platinum wire, nickel-chro(cid:173)
`mium alloy wire or iron-chromium alloy wire containing rare
`45 earth, or is flaked. The electric heating rod (82) may alterna(cid:173)
`tively have on its peripheral wall the heating layer made of
`electrically conductive ceramic PTC material, to replace the
`heating wire.
`Of this embodiment, the battery assembly and atomizer
`50 assembly are mutually connected and then installed inside the
`integrally formed shell (a) to form a one-piece part. The
`rechargeable battery (3) may be charged without frequent
`change of battery. The user just needs to plug the cigarette
`bottle assembly into the openendofthe shell (a), for easy use
`55 and very easy change.
`As shown in 3 and 4, the cigarette bottle assembly includes
`a hollow cigarette holder shell (b), and a perforated compo(cid:173)
`nent for liquid storage (9) inside the shell (b). The perforated
`component for liquid storage (9) is made of such materials as
`60 PLA fiber, terylene fiber or nylon fiber, which are suitable for
`liquid storage. Alternatively, it may be plastic foam molding
`or colunm of multi-layer plates made through plastic injec(cid:173)
`tion with polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene and polycarbon(cid:173)
`ate. One end of the cigarette holder shell (b) plugs into the
`65 shell (a), and the outer peripheral surface of the cigarette
`holder shell (b) has an inward ventilating groove (b2). On one
`end surface of the cigarette holder shell (b), there is an air

`
`SPECIFIC MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE
`INVENTION
`
`This invention is further described as follows on the basis
`of the drawings.
`As shown in FIG. 1-10, this utility model provides an
`aerosol electronic cigarette, which includes a battery assem(cid:173)
`bly, an atomizer assembly and a cigarette bottle assembly, and
`also includes a shell (a), which is hollow and integrally
`formed. The battery assembly connects with the atomizer
`assembly and both are located in the shell. The cigarette bottle
`assembly is located in one end of the shell, which is detach(cid:173)
`able. The cigarette bottle assembly fits with the atomizer
`assembly. The shell has through-air-inlets (al).
`In this specific embodiment, the battery assembly includes
`the battery, and the operating indicator (1), electronic circuit
`board ( 4), and airflow sensor (5), which are connected with
`the battery. It also includes a check valve (7). The signal
`output of the airflow sensor (5) is connected with the said
`electronic circuit board (4). The battery is a rechargeable
`battery (3), which may be either a rechargeable polymer
`lithium ion battery or a rechargeable lithium ion battery. The
`airflow sensor (5) may be alternatively a semiconductor
`force-sensitive chip capacitance sensor or an inductance sen(cid:173)
`sor. The rechargeable battery (3) has a flexibly connected
`charging plug (2). The blades (21) of the charging plug (2)
`come out of the other end of the shell (a). Between the charg(cid:173)
`ingplug (2) and rechargeable battery (3) is a spring (6), which
`lies against the body of the rechargeable battery (3) on one
`end, while its free end lies against the charging plug (2),
`forming a flexible structure, which buffers the charging plug
`(2) when plugged for charging, thus protecting the recharge(cid:173)
`able battery against any damage. Of course, the rechargeable
`battery (3) in this embodiment has a charging slot on it, which
`replaces the structure of charging plug (2) to perform the

`channel (b1) extending inward. The air channel (b1) is located
`in the center on the surface of one end of shell (b).
`As shown in FIG. 1-9, one end of the porous component
`(81) lies against one end surface of the said perforated com(cid:173)
`ponent for liquid storage (9), and contacts the perforated 5
`component for liquid storage (9). It absorbs the cigarette
`liquid from the perforated component for liquid storage (9).
`When the smoker smokes, the cavity of the cigarette holder
`shell (b) is in the negative pressure state. In the shell (b), one
`end of the airflow sensor (5) forms a normal pressure cavity, 10
`while the other end forms a negative pressure cavity. The air
`pressure difference between the normal pressure cavity and
`negative pressure cavity or the high-speed airflow enables the
`magnetic steel (54) of the airflow sensor (5) to drive the reed 15
`relay(52)to contact the relay electrode (51).As shown in FIG.
`20, the electric circuit is electrified, and the electronic switch
`circuit on the electronic circuit board (4) is electrified. Thus,
`the rechargeable
