DETAILED DESCRIPTION

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

Principle of high frequency heating: when an alternating current is introduced to a magnetic induction coil, an alternating magnetic field will be generated. When a metal conductor is placed in the alternating magnetic field, an eddy current is produced. The eddy current makes the metal conductor heated.

Tobacco materials refer to tobacco tar, tobacco paste, tobacco leaf and other materials used to produce smoke.

As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the disclosure provides an upper cover 1, a heating cup 2, a magnetic induction coil 3, a high-frequency control panel 4, a battery 5, and a lower cover 6. The heating cup 2 comprises an insulating high temperature resistant glass with an inlaid metal 7, so that the metal 7 is in non-contact with the magnetic induction coil 3 thus preventing the electric leakage of the magnetic induction coil 3. The magnetic induction coil 3 is a flat spiral structure and is coated with an insulating high temperature resistant material. The heating cup 2 is configured to accommodate a tobacco material and is disposed on the magnetic induction coil 3. The heating cup 2, the magnetic induction coil 3, the high-frequency control panel 4, and the battery 5 are disposed in a space formed by the upper cover 1 and the lower cover 6. The upper cover 1 comprises an opening communicating with the heating cup 2 and the tobacco material is added to the heating cup via the opening. The upper cover 1 and the lower cover 6 are polymer materials with thermal insulation and electric insulation properties. The battery 5 is soldered on the input end of the high-frequency control panel 4. The output end of the high-frequency control panel 4 is soldered on the input end of the magnetic induction coil 3 to supply alternating voltage and alternating current for the magnetic induction coil 3 whereby an alternating magnetic field is formed in the magnetic induction coil 3. Thus, an eddy current is produced in the heating cup 2 placed in the alternating magnetic field and heat is produced. In this way, the tobacco material in the heating cup is heated.

In certain embodiments, the heating cup 2 is made of metal or non-metallic graphite with good conductivity, or quartz, crystal, mica and jade with an inlaid metal or non-metallic graphite. The magnetic induction coil 3 is a flat structure of a triangle, quadrilateral, or polygon. The magnetic induction coil 3 optionally comprises a through hole and the heating cup 2 is disposed in the through hole. The upper cover 1 and the lower cover 6 are nonmetal materials with thermal insulation and electric insulation properties.

The high-frequency heating device of the disclosure is used in an electronic cigarette, or used in an electronic hookah where the smoke or vapor is filtered in water.

The following advantages are associated with the high-frequency heating device of the disclosure:

1. The tobacco material is heated through magnetic induction.

2. The metal is inlaid in the heating cup, and thus the produced smoke or vapor does not contact the metal, which is healthy for user's inhaling.

3. The magnetic induction coil is a flat spiral disc. The design is novel.

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.
