DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(5) As shown in FIG. 1, an electronic cigarette in the present embodiment includes an electronic cigarette main body 4, and electronic cigarette main body 4 includes a liquid container 30.

(6) As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the liquid container in the present embodiment includes a liquid container main body 3 provided with a liquid adding opening 31 thereon; the liquid adding opening 31 is provided with the electronic cigarette sealing piece for adding liquid by injection 10 as mentioned below; the liquid container main body 3 can seal the liquid adding opening 31 with the electronic cigarette sealing piece for adding liquid by injection 10.

(7) As shown in FIG. 3, when the liquid container 30 needs to be added with liquid, the liquid container 30 is inverted so that the electronic cigarette sealing piece for adding liquid by injection 10 is located at the lower end, and one end of the liquid container 30 for installing an atomizer is located at the upper end. Since the end of the liquid container 30 for installing an atomizer is provided with a liquid transmission channel (the liquid passing channel in the present embodiment is a fiberglass rope 32, in additional, other structures for liquid transmission could be adopted when necessary). When the syringe needle of syringe 5 is inserted into the electronic cigarette sealing piece for adding liquid by injection 10 to add liquid, liquid is injected along the solid line arrow in FIG. 3 from the syringe 5 to the inner chamber of the liquid container main body 3. In the meantime, air in the inner chamber of the liquid container main body 3 is exhausted from the liquid transmission channel which is provided at the end of the liquid container 30 for installing an atomizer (shown as the dash line arrow in FIG. 3), and then the liquid is being injected into the liquid container 30.

(8) As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, an end of the liquid container main body 3 that is close to liquid adding opening 31 is provided with an external thread pipe 311; the external thread pipe 311 is provided with an inner thread cap 312, which is threaded to connect with the external thread pipe 311; the inner thread cap 312 is provided with a needle jack 313; the electronic cigarette sealing piece for adding liquid by injection 10 is clamped and fixed between the inner side of the inner thread cap 312 and the end face of the external thread pipe 311. By using the above structure, it is easy to install and replace the electronic cigarette sealing piece for adding liquid by injection 10. The abovementioned structure in the present embodiment is only one preferred embodiment of fixed models for the electronic cigarette sealing piece for adding liquid by injection 10. In other preferred embodiments, the electronic cigarette sealing piece for adding liquid by injection 10 can be directly fixed to the liquid adding opening 31 for sealing the liquid adding opening 31.

(9) It should be noted that, a person who adds liquid into the liquid container 30 by using the syringe 5 though the electronic cigarette sealing piece for adding liquid by injection 10 can be a user or a producer or an assembler of the electronic cigarette. In addition, it is no doubt that the name of the liquid container 30 may be varied in different structures of the electronic cigarette, such as liquid pipe, liquid cup or liquid bomb, etc.; as long as the component is being used for containing liquid, the component is essentially the liquid container 30 in the present embodiment.

(10) As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the electronic cigarette sealing piece for adding liquid by injection 10 in the present embodiment includes a silicone substrate 1 and a Teflon coating layer 2 coated on a surface of the silicone substrate 1. Using a syringe 5 to add liquid into the electronic cigarette, when the syringe needle of syringe 5 is inserted into the electronic cigarette sealing piece 10, an adding process is carried out. When the syringe needle of syringe 5 is pulled out of the electronic cigarette sealing piece, due to the deoiling character of Teflon materials in Teflon coating layer 2 and self-sealing character of silicone substrate 1, the sealing effect of the electronic cigarette sealing piece 10 is being achieved, preventing the liquid leak out from the needle eye of the syringe needle of syringe 5 effectively, avoiding the leakage. The problems in related art, such as easy aging in liquid adding structure, strict in processing and assembling are not existed in present invention. On the contrary, the present embodiment is simple in processing and assembling, and has the advantage of no leakage, simple in structure, convenient in processing and assembling, and low in production cost. In the present embodiment, the Teflon coating layer 2 is provided inside of the liquid adding opening 31, and due to the deoiling characteristic of Teflon materials in Teflon coating layer 2 provided inside of the liquid adding opening 31, the sealing effect of the needle eye, when the syringe needle of the syringe 5 is pulled out and the silicone substrate 1 clogs the needle eye by self-deformation, is enhanced effectively.

(11) It is to be noted that, a thickness of the silicone substrate 1 can range from 0.8 to 1.5 mm based on the needs, and a thickness of the Teflon coating layer 2 can range from 0.05 to 0.2 mm based on the needs. As verified by experiments, when the syringe needle of syringe 5 is pulled out of the electronic cigarette sealing piece for adding liquid by injection 10, the abovementioned thicknesses of the silicone substrate 1 and the Teflon coating layer 2 can prevent liquid leakage from the needle eye of the syringe 5 better. In the present embodiment, the silicone substrate 1 has a thickness of 1 mm, and the Teflon coating layer 2 has a thickness of 0.1 mm, so the electronic cigarette sealing piece 10 has a thickness of 1.1 mm totally.

(12) The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and the scope of the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments; therefore, all of the technical solutions within the spirit of the present invention should be included within the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that this invention includes all modifications encompassed within the spirit and scope of the present invention; for one skilled in the art.
