Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

By analyzing the prior art, it is found that traditional smoking utensils for smoking Arab hookahs usually have tobacco materials loaded at the top and have water at the bottom, and when in use, burning charcoal fire is placed on the tobacco to heat and atomize the tobacco to form smoke, which is filtered by water and finally inhaled through a smoke pipe. An electronic hookah has been developed in the existing market, which is an electronic device that mimics a traditional cigarette by mixing water vapor and nicotine into an aerosol that allows a user to inhale. Unlike traditional hookahs, the electronic hookah is controlled electrically. However, tobacco materials inside the electronic hookahs in the prior art cannot be replaced or cleaned easily, which is troublesome to use and has electrical hazards.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, compared with the fact in the prior art that “the tobacco materials inside cannot be replaced or cleaned easily, which is troublesome to use and has electrical hazards”, the present disclosure provides a solution that “the first component and the second component are detachably connected”.

When the battery 12 is installed in the battery compartment 11, the locking snap hook 133 is disposed in the bayonet 121 to lock the battery 12 in the battery compartment 11. When the push button 132 is pushed, the locking snap hook 133 deflects in a direction away from the battery housing 122 to be disengaged from the bayonet 121, thereby unlocking the battery 12. The spring plate 131 is disposed at the bottom of the battery compartment 11. When the battery 12 is locked in the battery compartment 11 by the battery mounting structure 13, the spring plate 131 accumulates an elastic restoring force due to the extrusion of the battery 12; and when the battery 12 is unlocked by the push button 132, the spring plate 131 pops the battery 12 out of the battery compartment 11 under the elastic force.

As an example, when installed in the main unit 1, the battery 12 is pushed into the battery compartment 11 until the locking snap hook 133 is inserted into the bayonet 121 of the battery 12, so that the battery 12 is fixed inside the main unit 1 while the spring plate 131 is squeezed to generate an elastic force. When the battery 12 is removed from the main unit 1, it is only necessary for the user to push the push button 132, which will cause the locking snap hook 133 to be disengaged from the bayonet 121. At this time, the battery 12 is popped out under the elastic force of the spring plate 131, and thus can be removed.

In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7-10, the heating compartment 21 is provided in such a way that the second component 20 is recessed inwardly from the second mating end 201. The heating compartment 21 is provided with a heat insulation member 211 and an inner gear 213. The heat insulation member 211 is laid on an inner surface of the heating compartment 21 and forms a heat insulation cavity 212, and the atomizing pot 22 is placed in the heat insulation cavity 212. The inner gear 213 is a hollow cylinder disposed between an inner wall of the heat insulation member 211 and the atomizing pot 22. An outer wall of the atomizing pot 22 is in contact with the inner gear 213. The inner gear 213 in this embodiment is made of stainless steel, which is easy to clean. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first component 10 and the second component 20 are closed, the protective cover 153 of the heating assembly 151 directly contacts the atomizing pot 22 to heat the atomizing pot 22, thereby heating the smoking materials 2215 loaded in the atomizing pot 22 to produce smoke. As an example, the atomizing pot 22 protrudes out of the second mating end 201 so that the atomizing pot 22 can be easily taken and placed.

In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 18-22, the atomizing pot 22 includes a pot body 221, a pot lid 222, an air tube 224, and an isolation mesh 223. The air tube 224 and the isolation mesh 224 are disposed inside the pot body 221, and the isolation mesh 224 is sleeved to the air tube 224. The pot body 221 is provided with a plurality of air vents 2210. The pot body 221 includes a top 2212, a side wall 2213 extending along an edge around the top 2212, and an accommodating cavity 2214 having an opening 22141 that is enclosed by the top 2212 and the side wall 2213. The air vents 2210 are used to guide air outside the atomizing pot 22 into the accommodating cavity 2214, and guide gas within the accommodating cavity 2214 to the outside of the atomizing pot 22. The top 2212 is used to be heated by the heating assembly 151 to generate heat. The heating assembly 151 is disposed outside the atomizing pot 22, and may be a heating assembly 151 provided in a smoking utensil on which the atomizing pot 22 is installed. In the present disclosure, the tobacco materials 2215 are held by the accommodating cavity 2214 having an opening that is provided in the pot body 221. The pot lid 222 covers the accommodating cavity 2214 so that the tobacco materials 2215 are confined within the atomizing pot 22. Since the side wall 2213 is formed by extending the edge around the top 2212, the top 2212 transmits heat to the side wall 2213 after being heated so that the tobacco materials 2215 in contact with the side wall 2213 are heated to produce smoke, increasing the heated area of the tobacco materials 2215 loaded in the accommodating cavity 2214 while avoiding the tobacco materials 2215 loaded in the accommodating cavity 2214 from being burned locally due to excessive heating. The pot body 221 may be made of a material that is easy to conduct and store heat, such as stainless steel.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the pot lid 222 is detachably mounted on one end of the side wall 2213 away from the top 2212. The pot lid 222 covers the opening 22141 so that heat from the side wall 2213 is partially conducted to the pot lid 222 when the top 2212 is heated, thereby further evenly distributing the heat received by the tobacco materials 2215 at different locations in the accommodating cavity 2214. Specific features of the pot lid 222 will be further described below.

In a specific embodiment, the pot lid 222 is provided with a plurality of air vents 2210 to allow the smoke generated by the tobacco materials 2215 to flow out of the atomizing pot 22. In the present disclosure, the shape and number of the air vents 2210, and the spacing between the air vents 2210 are only an example of the air vents 2210, rather than a limitation on the air vents 2210, i.e., the the shape and number of the air vents 2210, and the spacing between the air vents 2210 can be adjusted according to the needs of the atomizing pot 22. A plurality of snap-in portions 2221 are further arranged at the edge of the pot lid 222 at intervals. The plurality of snap-in portions 2221 are snapped at a bottom edge of the pot body 221 away from the top 2212. Preferably, the plurality of snap-in portions 2221 are symmetrically distributed at a bottom edge of the pot lid 222 facing the accommodating cavity 2214.

As an example, it is set forth that the atomizing pot 22, after the top 2212 is heated, conducts the heat from the heating assembly 151 to the top 2212, the side wall 2213, and the pot lid 222 to achieve uniform heating of the tobacco materials loaded in the accommodating cavity 2214. In the present disclosure, when the top 2212 is heated by the heating assembly 151 and gets heated, the tobacco materials 2215 are placed above the pot lid 222 and the pot body 221 is located above the tobacco materials 2215. In other words, when the heating assembly 151 heats the atomizing pot 22, the heating assembly 151, the pot body 221, the tobacco materials 2215, and the pot lid 222 are provided in order from top to bottom. The specific features of the top will be further elaborated hereinafter to describe how to avoid overheating of the tobacco materials 2215 close to the heating assembly 151.

In a specific embodiment, since the top 2212 is in direct contact with a heat source, a plurality of annular convex portions 22122 and a plurality of annular flat portions 22121 are provided at the top 2212 to avoid overheating of the tobacco materials 2215 close to the top 2212, and a plurality of air vents 2210 are also provided at the top 2212 in the present disclosure. The convex portions 22122 and the flat portions 22121 can be adjusted according to the shape of the pot body 2212. For example, the convex portions 22122 and the flat portions 22121 may be set in an annular shape when the pot body 221 is in an overall conical shape. The convex portions 22122 are a portion of the top protruding out of the atomizing pot 22 from the accommodating cavity 2214. The flat portions 22121 alternates with the convex portions 22122, and the air vents 2210 are provided in the flat portions 22121 to evenly distribute the heat from the heating assembly 151 to the top 2212. Specifically, the convex portions 22122 are in direct contact with the heating assembly 151 and some gaps will exist between the flat portions 22121 provided with the air vents 2210 and the heating assembly 151, thereby allowing air to fully enter the accommodating cavity 2214 to make the tobacco materials 2215 overheated.

As an example, the tobacco materials 2215 close to the top 2212 can be avoided from being over-heated and burnt by using an inverted heating mode. Meanwhile, a plurality of convex portions 22122 and a plurality of flat portions 22121 are added at the top 2212, and a plurality of air vents 2210 are also provided at the top 2212, allowing air to fully enter into the atomizing pot 22 to make the tobacco materials 2215 fully heated. In order to further increase the contact area between the tobacco materials 2215 and the external air and thereby achieve sufficient heating of the tobacco materials 2215, an air tube 224 is provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The atomizing pot 22 is further provided with the air tube 224 used to guide the external air to the tobacco materials 2215 accommodated in the accommodating cavity 2214, so that the tobacco materials 2215 can be sufficiently heated. The air tube 224 is a hollow cylinder. One end of the air tube 224 is connected to the top 2212, and the other end extends in a direction facing away from the top 2212. The end of the air tube 224 does not protrude out of the side wall 2213, enabling the atomizing pot 22 to be conveniently disassembled and cleaned. In this application, the air tube 224 and the tobacco materials 2215 are accommodated together in the accommodating cavity 2214, and the air tube 224 is in full contact with the tobacco materials 2215. The air tube 224 is provided with a plurality of air vents 2210 for the external air to be in contact with the tobacco materials 2215. Preferably, one end of the air tube 224 is riveted to the center of the top 2212 via a rivet 22124, so as to further increase the contact area of the air tube 224 with the tobacco materials 2215.

As an example, it is set forth that the contact area of the tobacco materials 2215 with the external air is increased inside the accommodating cavity 2214 via the air tube 224 that is provided at the top 2212 and formed by extending towards the accommodating cavity 2214 facing away from the top 2212. The atomizing pot 22 provided in the present disclosure further reduces the occurrence of overheating of the tobacco materials 2215 by isolating the top 2212 and the tobacco materials 2215. Specific features of the atomizing pot 22 will be further described hereinafter to elaborate how to further reduce the occurrence of overheating of the tobacco materials 2215.

In order to further allow the tobacco materials 2215 to be evenly heated, the atomizing pot 22 in the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes an isolation mesh 223. The isolation mesh 223 is located in the accommodating cavity 2214 and is close to the top 2212. Specifically, an edge of the isolation mesh 223 is in contact with the top 2212 and a certain gap is formed between the other portions of the isolation mesh 223 and the top 2212, i.e., the isolation mesh 223 is in contact with the top 2212 partially, and the heat received by the top 2212 is transmitted from the edge of the isolation mesh 223 to the isolation mesh 223 and then to the tobacco materials 2215 close to the top 2212. Thus, contact of the tobacco materials 2215 with the top 2212 is avoided, which on one hand facilitates cleaning of the pot body 221, and on the other hand avoids the probability that the tobacco materials 2215 close to the top 2212 is unevenly heated and locally burned due to the high temperature of the top 2212.

In a specific embodiment, the isolation mesh 223 is made of stainless steel so as to conduct the heat generated by heating the top 2212 to the tobacco materials 2215. The isolation mesh 223 is of a grid-like arc structure. The isolation mesh 223 is provided with a mounting hole 2234 and is sleeved to the air tube 224 through the mounting hole 2234. The isolation mesh 223 includes a mesh bottom 2231 disposed opposite to the top 2212, and a mesh rim 2232 obliquely extending from the mesh bottom 2231 to the top 2212. The mesh bottom 2231 is provided with a plurality of arc mesh holes 2233 used to increase the contact area of the tobacco materials 2215 with the air, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the tobacco materials 2215. The edge of the isolation mesh 223 is the edge of the mesh rim 2232. Since one end of the air tube 224 is riveted to the center of the top 2212 via the rivet 22124, the mounting hole 2234 also corresponds to the center of the top 2212.

As an example, the tobacco materials 2215 in the accommodating cavity 2214 and the top 2212 that receives heat from the heating assembly 151 are isolated by providing the isolation mesh 223 in the accommodating cavity 2214 close to the top 2212, further reducing the occurrence of overheating of the tobacco materials 2215. In the present disclosure, heating of the tobacco materials 2215 can be adjusted by arranging the top 2212 of the atomizing pot 22 opposite to or facing away from the heating assembly 151. The following will elaborate, by specific embodiments, how to adjust the heating of the tobacco materials 2215.

In a specific embodiment, the pot body 221 is overall in a conical shape. The dimension of the side wall 2213 gradually increases from the top 2212 to the bottom. In an axial direction parallel to the top 2212, the cross-sectional area of the top 2212 is smaller than that of the pot lid 222. The top 2212 is opposite to the heating assembly 151 when the atomizing pot 22 is heated by the heating assembly 151. The heating assembly 151 and the atomizing pot 22 are arranged in such a way that the heating assembly 151, the top 2212, the pot body 221, and the pot lid 222 are disposed sequentially from top to bottom. In the present disclosure, the tobacco materials 2215 are loaded in the form of tobacco paste in the accommodating cavity 2214. When the tobacco materials 2215 are not fully loaded in the accommodating cavity 2214, the vertical height of the tobacco materials 2215 from the top 2212 is smaller than that from the top 2212 to the pot lid 222, i.e., the tobacco materials 2215 can be in contact with only one of the top 2212 and the pot lid 222, and is in contact with the side wall 2213 in accordance with the shape of the accommodating cavity 2214 and the side wall 2213. When the top 2212 is heated by the heating assembly 151 and gets heated, the tobacco materials 2215 fits the shape of the accommodating cavity 2214 and is in direct contact with both of the isolation mesh 223 and the side wall 2213 at the same time, thereby being fully heated. When the tobacco materials 2215 are fully loaded in the accommodating cavity 2214 and the top 2212 is heated by the heating assembly 151 and gets heated, the tobacco materials 2215 will receive heat conducted from the isolation mesh 223, the side wall 2213, and the pot lid 222 at the same time, thereby being fully heated. Meanwhile, the heating process of the local part of the tobacco materials 2215 close to the top 2212 is slowed down, and the tobacco materials 2215 will not be burned.

As an example, the heating processes of the atomizing pot 22 under different loading situations of the tobacco materials 2215 are described. How the atomizing pot 22 is mounted is described hereinafter.

In a specific embodiment, reference is made to FIG. 21 which is a schematic view of an assembly process of an atomizing pot provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Firstly, the air tube 224 is riveted to the center of the top 2212 with the rivet 22124, keeping the air tube 224 not protruding out of the side wall 2213 and making the plurality of air vents 2210 located in the accommodating cavity 2214. Secondly, the isolation mesh 223 is sleeved to the air tube 224 through the mounting holes 2234, so that the mesh rim 2232 is in contact with the top 2212 and the mesh bottom 2231 is away from the top 2212 relative to the top 2212. Thirdly,, the tobacco materials 2215 adapted to the shapes of the isolation mesh 223, the top 2212, and the accommodating cavity 2214 are placed on the mesh bottom 2231, so that the isolation mesh 223 supports the tobacco materials 2215 to be accommodated in the accommodating cavity 2214. The pot lid 222 covers the side wall 2213, so that the snap-in portions 2221 face the accommodating cavity 2214. Finally, the snap-in portions 2221 are locked at the bottom of the side wall 2213 to complete the installation of the atomizing pot 22. Similarly, the present disclosure can also reversely deduce the disassembly steps of the atomizing pot 22 in accordance with the installation steps of the atomizing pot 22, which facilitates the cleaning of various components in the atomizing pot 22.

In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22, the tobacco materials 2215 may be placed in the atomizing pot through standard operation along with the atomizing pot as a standard component, namely, a tobacco material pot 22′. Specifically, the tobacco materials 2215 may be loaded in the atomizing pot 22 by an automatic filling device. Further, the automatic filling device first fills the tobacco materials 2215 in the pot body 221 provided with the isolation mesh 223 and the air tube 224; and then, upon the completion of the filling of the tobacco materials 2215, the pot lid 222 covers the bottom of the pot body 221 either by the automatic filling device or manually. At this time, the processing of the tobacco material pot 22′ is completed. Through the atomizing pot 22 with the detachable pot lid 222, the tobacco materials can be standardized and the efficiency of filling the tobacco materials 2215 can be greatly improved. During the use of the electronic hookah by the user, the tobacco material pot 22′ can be directly replaced if the tobacco materials 2215 are used up, which is more convenient for the user. The pot lid 222 is detachably mounted on the pot body 221, which facilitates the installation of the tobacco materials 2215 and the cleaning of the atomizing pot 22. At the same time, when the atomizing pot 22 is heated, the pot lid 222 is disposed at the lower part while the pot body 221 at the upper part, and the atomizing pot 22 is heated in an inverted manner through the heating of the pot body 221, so that the tobacco materials 2215 do not have to be in direct contact with the high temperature and thus is not easy to be burned.

In a specific embodiment, referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, airways of the main unit 1 include a first airway 16 provided in the first component 10 and a second airway 24 provided in the second component 20. The first airway 16 communicates with the second airway 24. Specifically, the first airway 16 passes through the heating assembly 151 and the atomizing pot 22 in turn from the first air inlet hole 17. Specifically, the first air inlet hole 17 and the second air inlet holes 234 form the first airway 16 and the second airway 24 which are in communication with the heat insulation cavity 212, respectively. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the mica sheet assembly 1543, the heater 1511, and the protective cover 153 are all located on the first airway 16. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first airway 16 communicates with the atomizing pot 22 from an end face, close to the first component 10, of the atomizing pot 22, and the second airway 24 communicates with the atomizing pot 22 from an end face of the atomizing pot 22 away from the first component 10. It should be understood that, when the electronic hookah 1000 is in use, external air enters through the first air inlet hole 17 and the second air inlet holes 234, and then flows through the first airway 16 and the second airway 24, respectively. The external air enters the atomizing pot 22 from the upper and lower end surfaces of the atomizing pot 22 to be in full contact with the solid tobacco materials inside the pot, which improves the efficiency of atomization. Referring to FIGS. 8-10 and FIG. 23 in conjunction, the adapter portion 23 includes an adapter portion body 231, an air outlet 230 close to the first component 10, and a socket 232 away from the first component 10. The air outlet 230, the adapter portion body 231, and the socket 232 are connected to each other, and the air outlet 230 is opposite to the atomizing pot 22 for outputting the smoke produced by the atomizing pot 22. The socket 232 extends outwards out of an edge 235 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the adapter portion 23, and the edge 235 is provided with a plurality of openings at a certain spacing. The plurality of openings form a plurality of second air inlet holes 234, and the plurality of second air inlet holes 234 and the socket 232 face in the same direction. Two second air inlet holes 234 are provided in the embodiment, and the two second air inlet holes 234 are arranged on both sides of the edge 235 and opposite to each other.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the electronic hookah 1000 is in use, the adapter 94 is first mounted at the top of the container 9, the adapter portion 23 of the main unit 1 is then aligned with the adapter 94, and finally, the adapter 94 is inserted into the socket 232 of the adapter portion 23. The outer wall of the adapter 94 is in close contact with the inner wall of the adapter portion body 231, and the smoke produced by the atomizing pot 22 enters the adapter 94 through the air outlet hole of the adapter portion 23, passes through the filtrate 90 in the container 9 for filtration, and then flows to the user through the smoke pipe 91 on the container 9. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the adapter 94 is a hollow conical body with a narrow top and a wide bottom, and accordingly, the adapter portion 23 is provided as a hollow conical body with a narrow top and a wide bottom, and the overall size is greater than that of the adapter 94.

When the electronic hookah 1000 is in use, firstly, the first component 10 and the second component 20 are closed, and the battery 12 is loaded into the battery compartment 1; secondly, the first component 10 and the second component 20 are opened, and the atomizing pot 22 is inverted to the heat insulation cavity 212; thirdly, the first component 10 and the second component 20 are closed again; fourthly, the adapter 94 is mounted in a container mouth (not shown) at the top of the container 9 loading the filtrate 90, and the main unit 1 which is assembled in place is assembled to the container 9 through cooperation of the adapter portion 23 with the adapter 94 on the container 9; finally, the user operates the main button 1422 to turn on the main unit 1, the main unit 1 is energized and works through the battery 12 and heats the atomizing pot 22 via the heating assembly 151 to produce smoke, and the user inhales the smoke through the mouthpiece 910 of the container 9, and can adjust the heating temperature of the heating assembly 151 by operating the left button 1421 and the right button 1423.

In a specific embodiment, the electronic hookah 1000 can heat the atomizing pot 22 through direct contact between the heating component 15 and the atomizing pot 22 holding the tobacco materials 2215, so that the tobacco materials 2215 are atomized under the heat from the atomizing pot 22 to obtain smoke, and the smoke flows from the main unit 1 into the container 9 for filtration and then to be inhaled. Since the heating component 15 is in direct contact with the atomizing pot 22 holding the tobacco materials 2215, the tobacco materials 2215 can be heated more fully. In addition, the heating component 15 is electrically controlled with a controllable temperature.
