Two cartridges 200 are provided, the cartridges 200 are arranged corresponding to the mounting grooves 110, and the cartridges 200 are pluggably arranged in the respective mounting grooves 110. Specifically, e-liquids with different flavors are stored in the two cartridges 200. Because the cartridge 200 is pluggably arranged in the mounting groove 110, after the e-liquid in the cartridge 200 is used up, the cartridge 200 can be pulled out of the mounting groove 110 and replaced with a new cartridge 200, so that the host 100 can be reused, thus reducing waste of resources. Moreover, the cartridges 200 with different flavors can be replaced at any time.
It should be understood that, because the e-cigarette with dual cartridges of the present disclosure is provided with two cartridges 200, a user may take smoke of different flavors of the two cartridges 200 at the same time through the two cartridges 200, and because the two flavors are mixed, a third flavor can be experienced. In addition, the user may also take smoke of one cartridge 200 independently. It should also be understood that, because the cartridge 200 and the host 100 are detachably connected, the user can conveniently replace one or two cartridges 200 to change the mixed flavor.
More specifically, in this embodiment, the two cartridges 200 have the same shape, so that both cartridges 200 can be inserted into any mounting groove 110. It should be understood that, the same shape for the cartridges 200 with all flavors facilitate the production of the cartridges 200 without additional molds. Moreover, after the e-liquid in one cartridge 200 is used up, it may be replaced with a cartridge 200 of any flavor, without worrying about incompatibility with the mounting groove 110. In other embodiments, the cartridges 200 may also have different shapes.
The e-cigarette with dual cartridges according to the present disclosure has at least the following beneficial effects.
Firstly, by arranging the two cartridges 200 in which e-liquids with different flavors can be stored, a user can take mixed smoke of two flavors at the same time, or take smoke of flavors of the two cartridges 200 independently, so that one e-cigarette with dual cartridges can have three flavors.
Secondly, the cartridge 200 is pluggably arranged in the mounting groove 110, so as to facilitate replacing the cartridge 200, thus reusing the host 100, and being convenient for the user to change flavors.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the shell 210 is in a flat shape, which reduces a volume of the shell 210. Specifically, one end of the shell 210 is substantially in a square shape, and the other end of the shell is substantially in a triangular shape. In other embodiments, the shell may also be in other shapes.
The fixed portion 220 is arranged in the shell 210, an atomizing cavity 221 is arranged inside the fixed portion 220, and the fixed portion 220 is provided with at least one e-liquid guiding port 222 communicated with the atomizing cavity 221, and provided with at least one smoke outlet 223 communicated with the mouthpiece 211. Specifically, regarding the connection relationship between the fixed portion 220 and the shell 210, in this embodiment, an opening is formed at a lower end of the shell 210, and the fixed portion 220 is arranged at the opening of the shell 210, which forms the accommodating cavity 212 together with the shell 210 by enclosing. In order to ensure the sealing performance, a sealing ring is arranged between the fixed portion 220 and an inner wall of the shell 210. In other embodiments, the shell 210 may also have a closed structure, which independently forms the accommodating cavity 212, and the fixed portion 220 is arranged inside the shell 210. Regarding the connection relationship between the smoke outlet 223 and the mouthpiece 211, the smoke outlet 223 can lead out smoke in the fixed portion 220 to the mouthpiece 211 for smoking. In this embodiment, a cigarette pipe 213 is arranged between the smoke outlet 223 and the mouthpiece 211, and the smoke outlet 223 and the mouthpiece 211 are communicated through the cigarette pipe 213. In other embodiments, the fixed portion 220 may also be arranged close to the mouthpiece 211, so that the smoke outlet 223 is directly communicated with the mouthpiece 211 in a butt-joint manner.
The e-liquid guiding structure 230 is at least partially arranged at the e-liquid guiding port 222. Specifically, regarding a specific structure of the e-liquid guiding structure 230, in this embodiment, the e-liquid guiding structure 230 is e-liquid guiding cotton, and in other embodiments, the e-liquid guiding structure may also be chemical fiber cotton, absorbent cotton, and the like. Regarding the connection relationship between the e-liquid guiding structure 230 and the fixed portion 220, in this embodiment, two e-liquid guiding ports 222 are provided, two ends of the e-liquid guiding structure 230 are located in the accommodating cavity 212, and the e-liquid guiding structure 230 extends through the two e-liquid guiding ports 222 and the atomizing cavity 221, so that the e-liquid guiding cotton can guide the e-liquid in the accommodating cavity 212 into the atomizing cavity 221. In other embodiments, only one e-liquid guiding port 222 may be provided, one end of the e-liquid guiding structure 230 is located in the accommodating cavity 212, and the e-liquid guiding structure 230 extends through the e-liquid guiding port 222 into the atomizing cavity 221. Moreover, in another embodiment, an end portion of the e-liquid guiding structure 230 may only block the e-liquid guiding port 222, and the rest portion of the e-liquid guiding structure is completely placed in the atomizing cavity 221.
The heating structure 240 is sheet-shaped and arranged in the atomizing cavity 221. Specifically, the heating structure 240 can heat up the atomizing cavity 221 and heat up the e-liquid guiding cotton in the atomizing cavity 221, so as to atomize the e-liquid on the e-liquid guiding cotton. Regarding the specific form of the heating structure 240, in this embodiment, the heating structure 240 is a sheet-shaped heating wire, the heating wire is interwoven into a mesh, and two ends of the heating wire form pins for receiving power. In other embodiments, the heating structure 240 may be a heating metal sheet, or a combination of a ceramic sheet and the heating wire.
It can be understood that a specific operation process of the cartridge 200 according to the embodiment in the first aspect of the present disclosure is as follows. The e-liquid is stored in the accommodating cavity 212. Because the e-liquid guiding structure 230 is at least partially arranged at the e-liquid guiding port 222, the e-liquid guiding structure 230 can guide the e-liquid in the accommodating cavity 212 into the atomizing cavity 221. Because the heating structure 240 is arranged in the atomizing cavity 221, the heating structure 240 can heat up the atomizing cavity 221, so as to atomize the e-liquid in the atomizing cavity 221. Smoke formed by atomizing the e-liquid will pass through the smoke outlet 223 and the mouthpiece 211 sequentially to the outside for smoking.
With reference to
It can be understood that the end portion of the e-liquid guiding structure 230 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 212, and the middle portion of the e-liquid guiding structure 230 extends through one e-liquid guiding port 222, the atomizing cavity 221 and the other e-liquid guiding port 222 sequentially. By arranging the two e-liquid guiding ports 222 and making the e-liquid guiding structure 230 extend through the e-liquid guiding ports 222, an e-liquid guiding effect of the e-liquid guiding structure 230 is improved, so that the e-liquid in the accommodating cavity 212 more easily enters the atomizing cavity 221. In addition, by making the e-liquid guiding structure 230 extend through the atomizing cavity 221, the e-liquid is ensured to enter the atomizing cavity 221, and the e-liquid guiding structure 230 is close to the heating structure 240, so that the atomizing effect of the heating structure 240 on the e-liquid is improved.
Specifically, a part of the e-liquid guiding structure 230 placed in the atomizing cavity 221 is overlapped with a projection of the heating structure 240 on a vertical plane, and the e-liquid guiding structure 230 abuts against the heating structure 240.
Specifically, the e-liquid guiding ports 222 are formed on left and right sides of the fixed portion 220, so as to further reduce a height of the cartridge 200.
