DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

To be clear, in the non-conflict situations, the embodiments and features of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will be further specified by the following drawings and embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the present invention provides an electronic cigarette sealing sleeve which is used for sealing the electronic cigarette or an atomizer and other components of an electronic cigarette. On the sealing sleeve disposes a removing portion to facilitate removing. The present invention also provides an inhalation rod of the electronic cigarette. The inhalation rod includes an inhalation rod body and an electronic cigarette sealing sleeve sheathed around one end of the inhalation rod body. The present invention also provides an electronic cigarette, which includes an electronic cigarette body and the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve sheathed on one end of the electronic cigarette body. Specifically, the electronic cigarette body includes an inhalation rod 10 and a power rod 20. Inside the inhalation rod 10 disposes an atomization assembly for heating and atomizing smoking liquid into smoke. Thus, the inhalation rod 10 is also known as an atomizer. One end of the inhalation rod 10 and/or the power rod 20 disposes an electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30. On the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 disposes a removing portion 40 to facilitate removing. When the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 locates at the end of the inhalation rod 10, the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 may sheath on one distal end of the inhalation rod 10 as the nozzle end, or may sheath on the other distal end of the inhalation rod 10, which is the connection end of the inhalation rod 10 connected to the power rod 20. When the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 locates at the end of the power rod 20, the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 may sheath on the connection end of the power rod 20 connecting with the inhalation rod 10, or may sheath on the other distal end of the power rod 20 opposite to the connection end, which is a bottom end of the electronic cigarette.

The electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 is made of silicone materials. At the end of the inhalation rod 10 disposes steps 12. The electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 is installed on the steps 12, and the side of the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 is co-planar with the side of the power rod 20 after installation. In this one embodiment, the steps 12 is disposed on an external electrode of the inhalation rod 10 used to connect with the power rod 20. Then the sealing sleeve 30 is sheathed on a connection portion of the inhalation rod 10 of the electronic cigarette connecting with the power rod 20. The steps 12 can also be disposed on the other end of the inhalation rod 10 as the nozzle end opposite to the connection end, or disposed on the connection end between the power rod 20 and the inhalation rod 10 or the other end of the power rod 20 opposite to the connection end, which is a bottom end of the electronic cigarette.

According to the present invention, it mainly takes two aspects into consideration about the removing portion 40 for convenient removing of the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30: the first aspect is disposed to increase friction, and the second aspect is disposed to be protruding to form a stop. Of course, it is understood that one skill in the art can combine the two aspects for use, such as on the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 is disposed not only antiskid structure to increase friction but also stop structure disposed to be protruding.

Regarding the first aspect, the removing portion 40 is antiskid strips 41 disposed on the surface of the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 used for contacting with human body. As an embodiment, the antiskid strips 41 are of convex and concave interposed arrangement structure. Preferably, the convex and the concave are interposed arranged as ring, spiral or reticular structure. Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the convex and/or the concave is circular, elliptical, circular or polygonal. Specifically, the polygonal is one or a plurality of triangular, quadrilateral and pentagon.

Regarding the second aspect, the removing portion 40 is a flange 42 formed by one distal end of the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 extending outward radially. As an embodiment, the flange 42 is a ring. Preferably, the flange 42 disposes antiskid strips along the circumferential or axial of an outer side. As an embodiment, the flange 42 is zigzag-shaped. As an embodiment, on the flange 42, a through hole is disposed. Then, by the through hole, on one hand, a hook may be used to hook into the through hole to remove the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve; on the other hand, a string or metal ring can be penetrate into to facilitate hanging or taking the electronic cigarette when needed.

In summary, the present invention adopts disposing the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 on the end of the inhalation rod 10 and/or the power rod 20, and disposing the removing portion 40 on the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30 to facilitate its removing, thus to achieve the technical effect of convenient and quick removing of the electronic cigarette sealing sleeve 30. When the sealing sleeve 30 locates at the external of the connection portion between the electronic cigarette inhalation rod 10 and the power rod 20, on the one hand, the sealing sleeve 30 seals and protects the electrode at the internal connection part and makes the connection between the inhalation rod 10 and the power rod 20 stronger, and the structure is simple; on the other hand, it is convenient to hold the electronic cigarette to avoid falling, and makes it more convenient of holding when dismantling the electronic cigarette inhalation rod 10 and the power rod 20, and the operation is also convenient. When the sealing sleeve 30 is sheathed at the nozzle end of the electronic cigarette inhalation rod 10, on the one hand the sealing sleeve 30 seals the nozzle end, improving the touch feeling of user mouth; at the same time the sealing sleeve 30 acts antiskid effect and facilitate holding.

Embodiments of the present invention is shown and described in the above-mentioned. Various improvement and modifications can be made to the embodiments by those skilled in the art without departing from the true spirit and scope of the disclosure. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
