Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to the field of hookah heating, in particular to an electromagnetic heater and an electromagnetic heating device for hookah.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Hookahs originated in India and are mainly popular in Arab countries. Referring to FIG. 1, a hookah generally includes a hookah bowl 11 for containing shredded tobacco 10 or tobacco paste, a hookah bottle 12 for containing filtered water, and a hookah pipe 122 formed at a side wall of the hookah bottle 12. The hookah bowl 11 is provided with an air pipe 111 at the bottom, and a filtering pipe 13 is communicated with the air pipe 11 and the filtered water in the hookah bottle 12, respectively. When in use, filtered water 121 with a certain amount is filled in the hookah bottle 12, and the hookah bowl 11 is then placed on the hookah bottle 12, with the air pipe 111 is inserted into the filtering pipe 13. A silicone sealing gasket 14 is arranged between the hookah bowl 11 and the upper part of the hookah bottle 12. Next, the shredded tobacco 10 is placed in the hookah bowl 11, and the opening of the hookah bowl 11 is wrapped with a small piece of tin foil where some air holes are poked, and then burning charcoal is placed on the tin foil. A smoking pipe 15 is inserted into hookah pipe 122 and can be sucked on for smoking the hookah. Specifically, the shredded tobacco 10 is heated and burnt due to the burning charcoal, when the smoking pipe 15 is sucked on, air enters the hookah bowl 11 via the air holes on the tin foil, and then is filtered in the filtered water 121, and finally enters user's mouth.


However, such a traditional hookah heating manner is complicated, and furthermore the temperature of the charcoal is uncontrollable. On the other hand, harmful gas or smokes will be produced due to charcoal burning, which is harmful to human body after inhalation, and also leads to contaminant to the environment or brings fire hazard.


For these issues, Chinese patent CN203952409U discloses an electrically heated hookah bowl. A metal tube is directly arranged at the bottom of the hookah bowl, on which a coil is wound. When in use, the coil is energized to heat the metal tube, thereby heating and burning the shredded tobacco. However, it's difficult to clean the hookah bowl with such a structure, to cause smoke stains accumulated in the bowl. Meanwhile, the heating efficiency is low since the heating source is configured at the bottom of the bowl, and it's difficult for the air to uniformly enter the shredded tobacco to lead to bad uniformity of the tobacco burning, especially during the initial smoking.


Chinese patent application CN101483942A discloses a hookah electronic charcoal, which uses high thermal conductivity ceramics to replace the hookah charcoal. When in use, on one hand, the air holes in the foil will be blocked, causing it difficult for air to enter the hookah bowl, which limits the smoking amount; on the other hand, the foil is firstly heated through the thermal conductivity, and then the shredded tobacco is heated, which results in a poor heating efficiency. For this, a bulky transformer will possibly be required to enhance the power to increase the heating efficiency.


Therefore, there is an urgent need for an improved hookah heating device to solve the above problems.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, but not to limit the present application. The same reference numbers in different figures represent the same parts.


Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, an electromagnetic heating device for hookah of the invention includes an electromagnetic heater 200 and an electromagnetic induction element 40. Specifically, the electromagnetic induction element 40 is configured to install on a hookah bowl 11 of a hookah and contact with tobacco (such as tobacco shred or tobacco paste) in the hookah bowl 11. The electromagnetic heater 200 includes an excitation coil 31 and a drive circuit 32 which is configured to drive the excitation coil 31 to emit a high-frequency AC signal to produce eddy current effect on the electromagnetic induction element 40.


Referring to FIGS. 2-4, the electromagnetic heater 200 includes a shell 20 and an electromagnetic heating body 30 installed in the shell 20. The shell 20 includes a heat-insulating base plate 21. The electromagnetic heating body 30 includes the excitation coil 31 and the drive circuit 32. Specifically, the excitation coil 31 is in a sheet form and formed by gradually spiraling a wire outward from a center, in a plane, and an end of the excitation coil 31 is extended towards the heat-insulating base plate 21. The excitation coil 31 is configured to emit a high-frequency AC signal by which an eddy current effect is produced on the electromagnetic induction element to the heat-insulating base plate 21, under a control of the drive circuit 32.


In the present embodiment, the electromagnetic induction element 40 is movably placed on the hookah bowl 11 of the hookah and contact with the tobacco 10 (such as tobacco shred or tobacco paste) in the hookah bowl 11. The electromagnetic heater 200 is movably placed on the electromagnetic induction element 40, and at least one air hole 41 is formed on the electromagnetic induction element 40 where is corresponding to the position of the opening of the hookah bowl 11. As discussed, electromagnetic heater 200 includes the excitation coil 31 and the drive circuit 32, and the excitation coil 31 is configured to emit a high-frequency AC signal by which an eddy current effect is produced on the electromagnetic induction element 40 to the heat-insulating base plate 21, under the control of the drive circuit 32. Specifically, terms “movably placed” or “movably supported” in the present disclosure mean that, the object may be movable in the lateral direction and may be picked up in the longitudinal direction directly, without moving the hookah bowl 11


Referring to FIG. 9, when the electromagnetic heater 200 is movably placed on the electromagnetic induction element 40, at least one air inlet 210 is formed between the electromagnetic heater 200 and the electromagnetic induction element 40, and the air inlet 210 is communicated with the external environment and the air holes 41 respectively. Specifically, a plurality of support legs 211 for supporting the shell are protruded on the heat-insulating base plate 21, and the support legs are supported above the hookah bowl 11, and furthermore the air inlet 210 is formed between the heat-insulating base plate 21 and the hookah bowl 11 and communicated with the inside of the hookah bowl 11. The support legs 211 may be located at an edge position of the heat-insulating base plate 21, or located at the middle position of the heat-insulating base plate 21, if only the heat-insulating base plate 21 is suspended above the hookah bowl 11. The electromagnetic induction element 40 is a metal sheet supported above the opening of the hookah bowl 11.


Referring to FIGS. 1-8, a distance is formed between the electromagnetic induction element 40 and the ventilation pipe 111 in the hookah bowl 11. When smoking, the drive circuit 32 drives the excitation coil 31 to send out a high-frequency AC signal to produce an eddy current effect on the electromagnetic induction element 40, so that the electromagnetic induction element 40 heats the tobacco 10 to generate smoke accordingly. When smokes, air enters the air holes 41 from the air inlet 210, and enters the hookah bowl 11, causing the smoke generated in the hookah bowl 11 to enter the smoke ventilation pipe 111 and into the filtering pipe 13, the smoke is filtered and then is sucked through the pipes 122 and 15.


Referring to FIGS. 8 and 10, in this embodiment, the electromagnetic induction element 40 mounted on the hookah bowl 11 includes a peripheral edge 42 and a heating portion recessed in the middle. Specifically, the peripheral edge 42 is supported on the rim of the opening of the hookah bowl 11 to prevent the smoke from overflowing. The heating portion 43 is recessed, thus the electromagnetic induction element 40 is in a cover form to cover the opening of the hookah bowl 11. In this embodiment, the heating portion 43 is a circular recess, which may be other shapes.


For example, referring to FIG. 13, the heating portion 43a is in a shape of ringed recess. In this case, the heating portion 43a may be reached above or beneath the top of the pipe 111. In this embodiment, the electromagnetic induction element 40 may be formed in an integral structure, that is, the peripheral edge 42 and a heating portion 43/43a are made of integral materials. Alternatively, the electromagnetic induction element 40 may be formed by different materials, and the heating portion 43a also may be formed by different materials, such as that portion facing against the pipe 111 is made of non-magnetic and heat-resistant material, such as ceramic.


Specifically, the electromagnetic induction element 40 further includes a handle 44 extending from the peripheral edge 42, by which the user can remove the electromagnetic induction element 40 from the hookah bowl 11 via a clamp for example. Preferably, a hole 441 may be provided on the handle 44 to hang the removed electromagnetic induction element 40.


In this embodiment, the electromagnetic induction element 40 is formed by stamping a metal sheet (e.g., a tinplate sheet, a stainless steel sheet, a stainless iron sheet, etc.), and may also be other electromagnetic induction materials or materials mixed with metal.


Referring to FIG. 8, a heating chamber 400 is defined between the heat-insulating base plate 54 and the heating portion 43 of the electromagnetic induction element 40. One end of the heating chamber 400 is connected to the air inlet 21, and the other end is connected to the air holes 41. When smokes, the external air enters the heating chamber 210 through the air holes 41, and is heated by the electromagnetic induction element 40 in the heating chamber 210 and then enters the hookah bowl 11 from the air holes 41. When the electromagnetic heater 200 is disposed on the electromagnetic induction element 40 and then energized, the electromagnetic induction element 40 will generate eddy current effect to produce heat. Therefore, the air in the heating chamber 400 will be heated due to the electromagnetic induction element 40, which improves the smoking experience and maintains a sufficient and stable temperature in the bowl 11 because warm air enters to the bowl 11, and meanwhile the combustion of the tobacco 10 is stable.


In another embodiment, the periphery 42 of the electromagnetic induction element 40 may has a lower flange which is bent downward to wrap the periphery of the hookah bowl 11, and the handle 44 is formed at the end of the lower flange.


Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the support legs 211 are distributed around a center of the heat-insulating base plate 21, and a heating area corresponding to a position of the excitation coil 31 is formed around the support legs 211. Specifically, the support legs 211 are arranged near the peripheral edge of the heat-insulating base plate 21.


Referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 8, an outer protruding portion 212 is protruded from the middle of the heat-insulating base plate 21, and a backside of the outer protruding portion 212 is recessed to accommodate the excitation coil 31.


Specifically, the outer protruding portion has a horizontal plane lower than ends of the support legs 211, the support legs 211 are configured near an outer edge of the heat-insulating base plate 21 and distributed around the center of the heat-insulating base plate 21, and the outer protruding portion 212 is extended into the hookah bowl 11 when the support legs 211 are supported on the hookah bowl 11.


In this embodiment, the support legs 211 are supported on the peripheral edge 42 of the electromagnetic induction element 40, and the outer protruding portion 212 inserts into the recess of the heating portion 43 to engage with the heating portion 43. Specifically, the radius of the outer protruding portion 212 is smaller than that of the heating portion 43, and the distance from the outer protruding portion 212 to the end of the support legs 211 is smaller than the depth of the heating portion 43.


Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, multiple guide bumps 213 are provided along a periphery of the outer protruding portion 212, the guide bumps 213 and the support legs 211 are arranged in a staggered manner; a distance between outer sides of the guide bumps 213 and the center of the heat-insulating base plate 21 is greater than or equal to that between inner sides of the support legs 211 and the center of the heat-insulating base plate 21, and is less than that between outer sides of the support legs 211 and the center of the heat-insulating base plate 21, and an outer end of each guide bump 213 is inclined to form a guide wall (as shown in FIG. 2, the guide wall is used for guiding the outer protruding portion 212 into the pitch of the heating portion 43).


Specifically, a guide channel is formed between adjacent guide bumps 213, and extended along the centerline direction (longitudinal direction) of the hookah bowl 11. The heating cavity 400 is formed between the outer protruding portion 212 and the heating portion 43, and multiple guide channels are located above the outer side of the heating chamber 400. In such a way, the air needs to descend from the air inlet for a period of time to enter the heating chamber 400 horizontally. The air inlet 210 is located above the outside of the heating chamber 400, and the guide channels are extends from top to bottom. In the present embodiment, the guide channels are longitudinal channels from top to bottom, and do not extend axially on the outer protruding portion 212. In other embodiments, the guide channels may be spiral channels spiraling outside the outer protruding portion.


In this embodiment, the bottom of the heating portion 43 of the electromagnetic induction element 40 is a flat sheet parallel to the opening of the hookah bowl 11, and the position of the bottom shell 21 opposite to the heating portion 43 is flat, so that the heating chamber 400 is flat. Of course, the bottom of the heating portion 43 of the electromagnetic induction element 40 may be in the shape of a cone, a downwardly inclined triangle, a cone, or a sphere, etc., which is not limited.


Preferably, the electromagnetic heating body 30 further includes a control unit 33 for controlling operations of the drive circuit 32 and a power supply unit for supplying power to the drive circuit 32.


Referring to FIG. 7a, a circuit block diagram of the electromagnetic heating body 30 of the present invention is shown. As illustrated, the power supply unit includes a storage battery 341, a charging management unit 342, a power management unit 343, and a DC interface 345. Specifically, the DC interface 345 is connected to the storage battery 341 through the charging management unit 342, and the charging management unit 342 is configured to manage the charging and discharging of the storage battery 341. The power management unit 343 is configured to convert the electrical energy in the storage battery into a corresponding voltage and send it to the drive circuit 32 to supply power.


More specifically, the power supply unit also includes an auxiliary power supply 344 connected to the power management unit 343 through a power supply interface 347, by which the external commercial power is converted into a power supply voltage and sent to the power supply management unit 343. The power management unit 343 is configured to convert the power supply voltage into a working power supply voltage for driving the drive circuit 32.


More specifically, the DC interface 345 is further connected to the power management unit 343 which is configured to convert the electrical energy input from the DC interface 345 into a working voltage and send it to the drive circuit 32. The DC interface 345 may be a DC power supply interface such as a standard USB interface, a micro USB interface, or a type-c interface. In this embodiment, the storage battery 341 is a lithium battery.


Three power input modes such as auxiliary power supply, DC interface power supply, and battery power supply are included in the present embodiment. The control unit 33 is connected to the power management unit 343 to control the power management unit 343 to select the power input mode according to the priority, and the priority from high to low is auxiliary power supply, DC interface power supply, and battery power supply. The power management unit 343 is configured to design different topologies according to different input voltages, such as a pass-through mode, a boost mode, a buck mode, and a buck-boost mode.


Referring to FIG. 7e, a circuit schematic diagram of the electromagnetic heating body 30 is shown, which includes three power inputs provided by the power supply unit: an auxiliary power supply VDC, a DC interface power supply VUSB and a battery power supply VBAT. The power management unit 343 converts the electric energy input by different power input methods into the voltage required by the drive circuit 32, and the drive circuit 32 controls the LC network to output the corresponding high-frequency AC signal under the control of the control unit 33. Specially, the LC network includes a resonant capacitor and a resonant inductor (excitation coil 31) that are in series, and the LC network is configured to send a high-frequency AC signal to the electromagnetic induction element 40 to generate an eddy current effect on the element 40, thereby generating heat. Additionally, the electromagnetic heating body 30 has a voltage detection circuit 331 and a current detection circuit 332 for collecting the voltage across the LC network and the current on the excitation coil 31 respectively, which are then transmitted to the control unit 33.


When the high-frequency AC signal is sent to the electromagnetic induction element 40, an induced current is generated on the electromagnetic induction element 40. In this disclosure, the resistivity of the electromagnetic induction element 40 changes with the temperature, specifically, the resistivity of the electromagnetic induction element 40 has a linear change with temperature within a normal temperature range, and the change relationship is expressed as ρ=ρ0(1+αt), where ρ and ρ represent a resistivity at the current temperature t° C. and 0° C., respectively; α represents a temperature coefficient of the resistivity of the electromagnetic induction element 40, and t represents a temperature value of the electromagnetic induction element. That is to say, the change of the resistance of the electromagnetic induction element 40 has a linear relationship with the change of the temperature, expressed as t=(R−R0)/(R0*α) where R and R0 represent resistance values at the current temperature t° C. and 0° C., respectively, and α represents a temperature coefficient of the resistivity of the electromagnetic induction element 40. According to the formula, it can be concluded that, when the temperature rises, the resistance of the electromagnetic induction element 40 will increase accordingly; thus, the loop current of the LC network is will also decrease, and the power fed back to the drive circuit 32 will decrease accordingly. That is to say, the power of the drive circuit where the LC network is located is also reduced, and as known that power has a linear relationship with the temperature of the electromagnetic induction element 40. According to the power calculation formula P=UI, it is obtained that the temperature of the electromagnetic induction element 40 can be calculated as long as the power of the drive circuit is calculated. In the memory of the control unit 33, current values, voltage values, power values, temperature coefficients, preset temperature, etc. of the drive circuit are stored. After the entire system starts to work, the control unit 33 obtains the current and voltage in the drive circuit detected by the voltage detection circuit 331 and the current detection circuit 332 and calculates the power of the drive circuit, and then calculates the temperature of the electromagnetic induction element 40 according to the temperature coefficients. Once the temperature is greater than the preset temperature, and the control unit 33 controls the drive circuit 32 to stop outputting the control signal to the LC network, and the electromagnetic induction element 40 stops heating. When the temperature of the electromagnetic induction element 40 is lower than the preset temperature, the drive circuit 32 continues to output a control signal to the LC network, and the electromagnetic induction element 40 continues to heat, thereby performing the temperature control.


Preferably, during the temperature control process, the detected temperature of the electromagnetic induction element 40 is integrated in real time. An upper limit and a lower limit of the temperature integration are pre-determined. A smoking behavior will be determined to happen once the temperature integration rapidly exceeds the upper limit, then the number of puffs is started to count.


Specifically, the control unit 33 includes an MCU, a switch button 333 and a detection circuit. A start command can be input by pressing the switch button 333, and the MCU is started upon commands to control the operation of the drive circuit 32. Of course, the MCU is also configured to detect an existence of an electromagnetic induction element through the detection circuit. If yes, the MCU is started; otherwise, the MCU enters a standby state. The detection circuit includes a voltage detection circuit 331 and a current detection circuit 332, and the MCU can determine the existence of the electromagnetic induction element via the voltage and current collected by the voltage detection circuit 331 and the current detection circuit 332. The MCU, the switch button 333, the detection circuit and the drive circuit 32 are all mounted on the circuit board 26.


Referring to FIG. 7b, in one embodiment, the drive circuit 32 is a full-bridge drive circuit, which can greatly improve the work efficiency and save energy.


The drive circuit 32 consists of a MOS transistor Q1, a MOS transistor Q2, a MOS transistor Q3, and a MOS transistor Q4, and forms a main circuit of a high-frequency signal generating circuit with the LC network. The LC network consists of a resonant capacitor C1 and a resonant inductor L1.
