[0029] Referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, a smoking device provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a housing 100, a cigarette holder 200, a heating element 300 and a driving mechanism 400. The housing 100 is formed with a receiving space 100a, and the housing 100 is provided with a blocking cover 110; the cigarette holder 200 is connected to the housing 100, the cigarette holder 200 is connected to the blocking cover 110, at least part of the cigarette holder 200 is located outside the receiving space 100a, and the cigarette holder 200 is formed with a cigarette groove 200a; the heating element 300 is rotatably arranged in the receiving space 100a, and at least part of the heating element 300 is accommodated in the cigarette groove 200a; the driving mechanism 400 is connected to the heating element 300, and is used to drive the heating element 300 to rotate.

[0030] In the smoking device involved in the present application, when a cigarette 500 is inserted into the cigarette slot 200a, since the heating element 300 is fixed in the cigarette slot 200a, the heating element 300 will be inserted into the cigarette 500 from one end of the cigarette 500 to heat the cigarette 500. By setting a driving mechanism 400 to rotate the heating element 300, the cigarette residue adhering to the surface of the heating element 300 is separated from the heating element 300 under the action of centrifugal force and adhered to the cigarette 500. When the cigarette 500 is taken out, the cigarette residue can also be taken out of the cigarette slot 200a without falling into the cigarette slot 200a, thereby reducing the frequency of cleaning the cigarette pocket 200 and improving the use experience of the smoking device.

[0031] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 400 includes a motor 410, a rotating shaft 420 and a first transmission assembly 430. The motor 410 is disposed in the accommodating space 100a and is connected to the rotating shaft 420 to drive the rotating shaft 420 to rotate. The first transmission assembly 430 includes a first driving gear 431 and a first driven gear 432, both of which are disposed in the accommodating space 100a. The first driving gear 431 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 420, and the first driven gear 432 is meshed with the first driving gear 431 and sleeved on the heating element 300.

[0032] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , the motor 410 is disposed in the accommodating space 100 a, and the motor 410 can be installed in the middle of the accommodating space 100 a by a bracket (not shown), so that the distance between the motor 410 and the cigarette holder 200 is shorter, so as to shorten the length of the rotating shaft 420. The rotating shaft 420 is fixedly connected to the rotating output end (not shown) of the motor 410, and a through hole is provided at the axis center of the first driving gear 431, and the rotating shaft 420 is penetrated through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the first driving gear 431, so that the rotating shaft 420 can drive the first driving gear 431 to rotate. The first driven gear 432 is meshed with the first driving gear 431, and a through hole is also provided at the axis center of the first driven gear 432, and the heating element 300 is penetrated through the through hole and is fixed to the first driven gear 432. Therefore, after the motor 410 is started, as the shaft 420 rotates, the first driving gear 431 and the first driven gear 432 both rotate, and the heating element 300 also rotates along with the first driven gear 432, and the rotation direction of the heating element 300 is opposite to the rotation direction of the shaft 420. The motor 410 and the first transmission assembly 430 are both arranged in the accommodating space 100a, which can protect the motor 410 and the first transmission assembly 430 from working stably, so that the heating element 300 can rotate stably.

[0033] In some embodiments, the cigarette pocket 200 is rotatably connected to the blocking cover 110, and the driving mechanism 400 further includes a second transmission assembly 440, which is respectively connected to the rotating shaft 420 and the cigarette pocket 200 to drive the cigarette pocket 200 to rotate when the rotating shaft 420 rotates.

[0034] For example, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , a blocking cover 110 is provided at the upper end of the housing 100. The blocking cover 110 is provided with two through holes, and the rotating shaft 420 and the cigarette pocket 200 correspond to one through hole respectively. The upper ends of the rotating shaft 420 and the cigarette pocket 200 extend out of the accommodating space 100a through one of the through holes respectively, and are located above the blocking cover 110. The second transmission assembly 440 is located on the blocking cover 110, and can be in contact with the blocking cover 110 or there can be a gap between the blocking cover 110. The opposite sides of the second transmission assembly 440 are connected to the rotating shaft 420 and the cigarette pocket 200 respectively. When the rotating shaft 420 rotates, the second transmission assembly 440 causes the cigarette pocket 200 to rotate along with the rotating shaft 420. In this embodiment, the second transmission assembly 440 includes a plurality of gears, and the rotating shaft 420 can drive the cigarette holder 200 to rotate through gear transmission. In other embodiments, the second transmission assembly 440 can also be a chain or a belt, and the cigarette holder 200 can be driven to rotate through chain transmission or belt transmission. Therefore, when the cigarette 500 is inserted into the cigarette slot 200a, the motor 410 can drive the cigarette holder 200 and the cigarette 500 in the cigarette holder 200 to rotate. Under the action of centrifugal force, the cigarette residue falling from the cigarette 500 and the cigarette residue thrown onto the cigarette 500 from the heating element 300 will adhere to the cigarette 500 more firmly, further reducing the amount of cigarette residue falling into the cigarette holder 200.

[0035] In some embodiments, the second transmission assembly 440 includes a second driving gear 441 and a second driven gear 442 that mesh with each other. The second driving gear 441 and the second driven gear 442 are located outside the accommodating space 100a. The second driving gear 441 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 420, and the second driven gear 442 is connected to the cigarette holder 200.

[0036] For example, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , a through hole is provided at the axis of the second driving gear 441, the upper end of the rotating shaft 420 is located in the through hole and is fixedly connected to the second driving gear 441, and the second driven gear 442 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the cigarette pocket 200, so the second driving gear 441 and the second driven gear 442 are both located outside the housing 100 and above the blocking cover 110. The second driving gear 441 meshes with the second driven gear 442, and when the rotating shaft 420 rotates, the meshing transmission of the second driving gear 441 and the second driven gear 442 causes the cigarette pocket 200 to rotate in the same direction as the rotating shaft 420. Since the second driving gear 441 and the second driven gear 442 are located outside the housing 100 and are far away from the first driving gear 431 and the first driven gear 432, the rotating shaft 420 is subjected to a relatively uniform force, so that the cigarette pocket 200 can rotate smoothly, and the adhesion effect of the cigarette residue on the cigarette 500 is improved.

[0037] In some embodiments, the second driven gear 442 is provided with an inner hole, the cigarette holder 200 is passed through the inner hole, and is fixedly connected to the second driven gear 442 .

[0038] For example, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , an inner hole is provided at the axis of the second driven gear 442, and the cigarette holder 200 is inserted into the inner hole and fixedly connected to the second driven gear 442. The cigarette holder 200 can be fixedly connected to the second driven gear 442 by screws, by bonding, or by interference fit. Inserting the cigarette holder 200 into the inner hole of the second driven gear 442 and fixing it is a method with low cost, stability and reliability. In other embodiments, the second driven gear 442 can also be integrally formed with the cigarette holder 200.

[0039] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 400 also includes a third driven gear 450, which is arranged between the first driving gear 431 and the first driven gear 432, and is respectively engaged with the first driving gear 431 and the first driven gear 432, so that the rotation direction of the cigarette holder 200 is opposite to the rotation direction of the heating element 300.

[0040] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , a third driven gear 450 is further provided between the first driving gear 431 and the first driven gear 432, and opposite sides of the third driven gear 450 are respectively meshed with the first driving gear 431 and the first driven gear 432. It can be understood that by providing the third driven gear 450 between the first driving gear 431 and the first driven gear 432, the rotation direction of the heating element 300 will be opposite to the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 420. Therefore, the rotation direction of the heating element 300 is opposite to that of the cigarette holder 200. When the cigarette 500 is inserted into the cigarette slot 200a, the heating element 300 is inserted into the cigarette 500 from the bottom of the cigarette 500. The cigarette 500 and the heating element 300 rotate relative to each other, so that the cigarette residue adhering to the heating element 300 is easier to separate from the heating element 300, thereby improving the separation effect of the cigarette residue.

[0041] In some other embodiments, the driving mechanism 400 also includes a third driven gear 450, which is arranged between the second driving gear 441 and the second driven gear 442, and is respectively engaged with the second driving gear 441 and the second driven gear 442, so that the rotation direction of the cigarette holder 200 is opposite to the rotation direction of the heating element 300.

[0042] In another exemplary embodiment, the third driven gear 450 may also be disposed between the second driving gear 441 and the second driven gear 442 (not shown in the figure), and the opposite sides of the third driven gear 450 are respectively meshed with the second driving gear 441 and the second driven gear 442. It can be understood that after starting the motor 410, the rotation direction of the cigarette holder 200 will be opposite to the rotation direction of the shaft 420, while the rotation direction of the heating element 300 is the same as the rotation direction of the shaft 420. Therefore, the rotation direction of the heating element 300 is opposite to that of the cigarette holder 200, which can also make it easier for the cigarette residue adhering to the heating element 300 to detach from the heating element 300, thereby improving the separation effect of the cigarette residue.

[0043] In some embodiments, the smoking device further includes a flange 600 , which is fixedly connected to the first driven gear 432 , and one end of the heating element 300 located outside the smoke groove 200 a is connected to the flange 600 .

[0044] For example, referring to FIG. 2 , a flange 600 is provided in the accommodation space 100a, and the flange 600 is fixed in the through hole at the axis of the first driven gear 432. The end of the heating element 300 located outside the smoke slot 200a is fixedly connected to the flange 600. In this embodiment, the heating element 300 and the flange 600 are integrally formed. The heating element 300 and the first driven gear 432 are fixedly connected by the flange 600, and the connection effect is more stable, which reduces the probability of the heating element 300 and the first driven gear 432 being separated.

[0045] In some embodiments, the smoking device further includes a first switch 700 and a controller. The first switch 700 is disposed on the outer surface of the housing 100 and connected to the controller. The controller is electrically connected to the driving mechanism 400. The first switch 700 is used to control the start and stop of the driving mechanism 400 through the controller.

[0046] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the first switch 700 is a button disposed on the surface of the housing 100 , and the button is connected to a controller (not shown) disposed in the accommodating space 100 a , and the controller is electrically connected to the motor 410 and is used to control the start and stop of the motor 410 . In this embodiment, the controller is a single-chip microcomputer, and pressing the first switch 700 can trigger the single-chip microcomputer, so that the single-chip microcomputer sends an electrical signal to the motor 410 , and the motor 410 starts and starts to drive the rotating shaft 420 to rotate, thereby causing the cigarette pocket 200 and the heating element 300 to rotate. Pressing the first switch 700 again and triggering the single-chip microcomputer causes the single-chip microcomputer to send an electrical signal to the motor 410 again, and the motor 410 stops rotating, and the cigarette pocket 200 and the heating element 300 also stop rotating. In other embodiments, the first switch 700 can also be a knob or other device, which can be used to trigger the single-chip microcomputer. By setting the first switch 700 on the surface of the housing 100 , the start and stop of the driving mechanism 400 can be conveniently controlled by the controller, thereby improving the user experience of the smoking device.

[0047] In some embodiments, the smoking device further includes a second switch 800 , which is disposed on the outer surface of the housing 100 and connected to the controller. The second switch 800 is used to control the direction of the heating element 300 through the controller.

[0048] Exemplarily, with continued reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the second switch 800 is also a button disposed on the surface of the housing 100 and is located next to the first switch 700 . The controller is a single-chip microcomputer, and can also be used to control the direction of the motor 410 . When the motor 410 is in a rotating state, pressing the second switch 800 causes the single-chip microcomputer to send an electrical signal to the motor 410, which can cause the motor 410 to rotate in the reverse direction. Pressing the second switch 800 again causes the single-chip microcomputer to send an electrical signal to the motor 410 again, causing the motor 410 to rotate in the reverse direction again. When preheating the cigarette 500 in the cigarette slot 200a or preparing to pull the cigarette 500 out of the cigarette slot 200a, the motor 410 can be controlled to rotate forward and reverse by pressing the second switch 800, further improving the effect of the heating element 300 in shaking off the cigarette residue. In some other embodiments, the controller can also be triggered after pressing the second switch 800, so that the motor 410 automatically switches between the preset forward cycle and reverse cycle. In this embodiment, the same single-chip microcomputer controls the start, stop and direction of the motor 410. In other embodiments, two single-chip microcomputers may respectively control the start, stop and direction of the motor 410. In other embodiments, the second switch 800 may also be a knob or the like.

[0049] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0050] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
