As shown in FIG. 1 , the electronic cigarette provided by the first embodiment of the present invention is an integrated electronic cigarette, including a housing 10 and a housing 10 . The battery component 60, the atomizing component 20 and the control module 30, the atomizing component 20 are connected to the battery component 60 through the control module 30, so that the battery component 60 can be an atomizing component. 20 Provide power. In this embodiment, the control module 30 is disposed between the battery assembly 60 and the atomizing assembly 20, and is electrically connected to the battery assembly 60 and the atomizing assembly 20, respectively, to implement the battery assembly 60. Power is supplied to the atomizing assembly 20. The housing 10 has a cylindrical cylindrical structure and is made of an insulating material and having a certain elasticity. For example, silicone, rubber, polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) can be used. Or one or more materials selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or propylene carbonate (PC).

The control module 30 includes a microprocessor in the embodiment, which is not described in the prior art, and the control module 30 and the battery component are respectively 60 is electrically connected to the atomizing component 20, and the control module 30 controls the working state of the atomizing component 20 according to the received trigger signal. A fixing structure for fixing the control module 30 is provided in the housing 10 50. The fixing structure 50 is a card slot disposed on the inner wall of the casing 10, and the card slot extends along the axial direction of the casing 10, and the control module 30 is engaged in the card slot for the purpose of fixed installation.

The electronic cigarette further includes two or more switches 40 disposed at intervals, and the two or more switches 40 are disposed in the housing 10 And connected to the control module 30, and the switch 40 is electrically connected to the atomizing assembly 20 and used to control the working state of the atomizing assembly 20; when the two or more switches 40 When at least two of them are triggered, the atomizing assembly 20 operates, at which time the power supply assembly 60 supplies power to the atomizing assembly 20, causing the heating wire of the atomizing assembly 20 to heat the atomized soot. For example, when there is 5 on the electronic cigarette When two switches 40 are triggered, if two, three or four switches are triggered, the control module 30 controls the battery assembly 60 to the atomizing assembly 20 after receiving the trigger signals. The power supply makes the electronic cigarette in working state; when only one switch 40 is triggered, the atomizing component 20 is not triggered to be turned on, and the electronic cigarette is still off. It can be seen that if you accidentally mishandle multiple switches When one of the 40 switches is triggered, the electronic cigarette will not be turned on, effectively avoiding the safety hazard caused by the wrong operation of opening the electronic cigarette during transportation or storage.

The switch 40 is a push button switch and/or an inductive switch, that is, the type of the switch 40 is not limited. In an electronic cigarette, the switch can be 40 are all set as pushbutton switches, and can also be set as inductive switches; it can be understood that some of the switches 40 can be used as pushbutton switches, and the remaining part can be inductive switches.
