BACKGROUND

The disclosure relates to a heating cup, a high frequency heating unit, and a hookah.


A conventional tobacco material heating device comprises a heating cup and a magnetic induction coil fixedly disposed on the heating cup. The heating cup is made of metal or plastics.


SUMMARY

The disclosure provides a heating cup, comprising a heating container configured to be heated by a high frequency heating unit; when in use, the high frequency heating unit is disposed around the heating container; in a power-on state, the heating container is configured to produce heat under the action of the high frequency heating unit to heat a tobacco material and produce smoke


In a class of this embodiment, the heating cup further comprises an air inlet nozzle; the air inlet nozzle comprises a first air passage communicating with the heating container.


In a class of this embodiment, an airflow volume of the air inlet nozzle is changeable through covering a part of the air inlet nozzle with a finger.


In a class of this embodiment, the air inlet nozzle is made of ceramic material.


In a class of this embodiment, the heating container is an integrated structure comprising glass inlaid with metal.


In a class of this embodiment, the heating container comprises a second air passage separated from the metal.


Also provided is a high frequency heating unit, comprising a magnetic induction coil and a battery, wherein the battery comprises a power panel comprising an LC circuit configured to convert a boosted DC voltage and current into an alternating current; when the alternating current passes through the magnetic induction coil, an alternating magnetic field is generated.


The high frequency heating unit further comprises a hollow handle and a hollow annular structure; the battery is disposed in the hollow handle, and the magnetic induction coil is disposed in the hollow annular structure.


A hookah comprises a heating cup and a high frequency heating unit; the high frequency heating unit comprises a magnetic induction coil and a battery; the battery comprises a power panel comprising an LC circuit configured to convert a boosted DC voltage and current into an alternating current; when the alternating current passes through the magnetic induction coil, an alternating magnetic field is generated; when in use, the high frequency heating unit is disposed around the heating container; in a power-on state, the heating container is configured to produce heat under the action of the high frequency heating unit to heat a tobacco material and produce smoke.


The hookah further comprises a water filter; when in use, the smoke is filtered by the water filter and then inhaled by a user.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

To further illustrate, embodiments detailing a heating cup and a high frequency heating unit are described below. It should be noted that the following embodiments are intended to describe and not to limit the disclosure.


Tobacco materials refer to smoke oil, tobacco, tobacco and other materials used to produce smoke.


The disclosure provides a heating cup in combination with a water filter for use.


Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1-2, the heating cup comprises an air inlet nozzle 1, a heating container 2, a metal conductor 3 inlaid in the heating container 2. The air inlet nozzle 1 is disposed on the top of the heating container 2. The metal conductor 3 is inlaid in the heating container 2 and when being heated, the metal conductor exchanges heat with the heating container 2 to heat the tobacco material in the heating container 2. The air inlet nozzle 1 is made of ceramic material, and the heating container 2 is made of glass inlaid metal conductor 3.


The air inlet nozzle 1 is made of ceramic, quartz, crystal, mica and jade, which is thermally insulated and will not burn the hand in case the hand touches the air inlet nozzle.


The heating container 2 is entirely a metal or a part of it is a metal, or glass material or ceramic, quartz, crystal, mica, jade material inlaid with a metal.


As shown in FIG. 3, provided is a water filter used in combination with the heating cup.


As shown in FIG. 4, provided is a high frequency heating unit used in combination with the heating cup. The high frequency heating unit comprises a magnetic induction coil 501 and a battery 502; the battery 502 comprises a power panel comprising an LC circuit configured to convert a boosted DC voltage and current into an alternating current; when the alternating current passes through the magnetic induction coil, an alternating magnetic field is generated. The high frequency heating unit further comprises a hollow handle 503 and a hollow annular structure; the battery 502 is disposed in the hollow handle, and the magnetic induction coil 501 is disposed in the hollow annular structure.


As shown in FIG. 5, in use, a user holds the hollow handle 503 of the high frequency heating unit. The high frequency heating unit comprises a heating part 504 corresponding to the metal conductor 3 inlaid in the heating container 2. In a power-on state, the heating container 2 produces heat under the action of the high frequency heating unit to heat a tobacco material and produce smoke. The air enters the heating container 2 via the air inlet nozzle 1 and drives the produced smoke to submerge into the water of the water filter 4 via the second air passage of the heating container 2, where the smoke is filtered, flows to a smoke outlet 101 of the water filter, and is inhaled by a user.


It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications.
