[0027] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides an air intake control component for an electronic hookah housing, comprising a heater 1, a housing 2, an air valve 3, and an anti-scalding ring 4.

[0029] The heater 1 is installed at the top opening of the tobacco bowl, and a heating element 11 is installed inside the heater 1. The heater 1 is provided with an air guide channel 12 that allows external air to enter the tobacco bowl.

[0030] The heating element 11 inside the heater 1 can evenly and quickly heat the tobacco paste or shredded tobacco in the tobacco bowl, producing abundant smoke. The air guide channel 12 running through the heater 1 ensures that outside air can smoothly enter the tobacco bowl and fully mix with the smoke, making it convenient for the user to inhale. Furthermore, when outside cold air passes through the air guide channel 12, it exchanges heat with the channel, ensuring the temperature stability inside the tobacco bowl and making the smoke from the tobacco paste or shredded tobacco consistent in taste. This design improves heating efficiency, resulting in consistent smoke taste and enhancing the user experience.

[0031] The housing 2 is located on the upper edge of the heater 1. The housing 2 is provided with a ventilation channel 21 that communicates with the air guide channel 12. The ventilation valve 3 is located at the connection between the ventilation channel 21 and the outside and is used to control the opening and closing of the ventilation channel 21.

[0032] By designing a vent valve 3 to control the opening and closing of the venting channel 21, precise adjustment of the amount of air entering the tobacco bowl is achieved. This design allows users to flexibly adjust the air intake according to personal preferences or smoke generation needs to obtain the optimal smoke concentration. On the other hand, the heat from the heater 1 radiates into the interior of the housing 2, and external cold air enters the interior of the housing 2 through the venting channel 21 for heat exchange before entering the tobacco bowl through the air guide channel 12, reducing the impact of external cold air on the internal temperature of the tobacco bowl.

[0033] The anti-scalding ring 4 is provided on the housing 2 and is used to prevent scalding.

[0034] The anti-scalding ring 4 effectively prevents users from being burned by direct contact with the high-temperature heater 1 during operation. At the same time, the housing 2 protects the heater 1 and reduces the risk of damage caused by accidental contact or drops, enhancing the safety of use.

[0035] During use, the heat generated by the heating element 11 causes the tobacco paste or tobacco shreds to evaporate or burn rapidly, producing smoke. The ventilation valve 3 opens, allowing outside air to enter the casing 2 through the ventilation channel 21 for the first heat exchange, raising the temperature. Then, it undergoes a second heat exchange through the air guide channel 12, further raising the temperature. The air, after these two heat exchanges, finally enters the tobacco bowl and mixes with the smoke, achieving a smoke that is easy for the user to inhale, controlling the smoke concentration, and ensuring a consistent taste. The anti-scalding ring 4 and the casing 2 are designed to ensure user safety and product durability throughout the process.

[0036] By precisely controlling the air intake, improving heating efficiency, enhancing safety, and optimizing structural design, this application provides users with a safer, more comfortable, and personalized smoking experience.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the heater 1 in this embodiment includes a base 13 and a cover 14. The base 13 covers the top opening of the tobacco bowl, so that the heater 1 can cover the top opening of the tobacco bowl to heat the tobacco paste or tobacco inside the tobacco bowl.

[0038] The base 13 has a heating chamber 131 inside, through which the heating element 11 is fixed, thus securing the heating element 11 between the base 13 and the cover 14. The cover 14, after being connected to the base 13, forms a seal, preventing heat leakage and external impurities from entering the heating chamber 131. This enhances the safety and durability of the heater 1, reduces heat loss, and improves the quality of the generated smoke.

[0039] The heating element 11 (such as a resistance heating element, electric heating tube, PTC heating element, or far-infrared heating element) generates heat after being powered on, heating the tobacco oil or tobacco in the tobacco bowl. This improves heating efficiency, ensures stable smoke production, and the design of the heating chamber 131 also protects the heating element 11 from external interference.

[0040] The cover 14 is detachably connected to the base 13 and is used to seal the heating chamber 131. The base 13 is fixed to the top of the tobacco bowl, and the cover 14 and the base 13 are connected by a detachable method (such as threads, snaps, etc.) to form a sealed structure. This makes it easy for users to remove the cover 14 to clean, repair, or replace the heating element 11 in the heating chamber 131, reducing maintenance difficulty and cost.

[0041] The air guide channel 12 passes through the base 13 or the cover 14 and the base 13, making the arrangement of the air guide channel 12 flexible and varied.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the heating element 11 is disposed within the heating cavity 131, and both the heating element 11 or the cover 14 and the seat 13 are provided with a thermally conductive insulating layer. The thermally conductive insulating layer ensures effective heat conduction and safe use.

[0043] Preferably, the thermally conductive insulating layer is an insulating ceramic, which can achieve insulation without affecting heat transfer. In other embodiments, the thermally conductive insulating layer can be mica sheet, quartz, or ceramic materials (alumina, aluminum nitride).

[0044] In this embodiment, the cover 14 is provided with a heat insulation layer, which is disposed inside the cover 14, at the upper end of the cover 14, or at the lower end of the cover 14.

[0045] The insulation layer effectively isolates the heat conducted from the heating element 11 to the heating cavity 131, ensuring that the heat is conducted in the preset direction, thereby improving the heat utilization efficiency and reducing unnecessary heat loss.

[0046] The temperature of the cover 14 is significantly reduced by the addition of an insulation layer. This not only makes it safer and more convenient for users to pick up the heating element 11 through the cover 14, but also reduces the potential risk of injury caused by accidental contact with the hot cover 14.

[0047] Preferably, the insulating layer is made of insulating ceramic, which can achieve insulation without affecting heat transfer. In other embodiments, the insulating layer may also be made of mica sheet, quartz, or ceramic materials (alumina, aluminum nitride).

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 13 or cover 14 is provided with an extension ring 15 in the radial direction, and the extension ring 15 abuts against the top of the tobacco bowl.

[0049] By providing an extension ring 15 radially on the base 13 or cover 14, which abuts against the top of the tobacco bowl, the connection stability between the base 13, cover 14, and tobacco bowl is enhanced. This design helps prevent parts from loosening or falling off due to external forces such as drops or collisions during use, improving the durability and reliability of the product.

[0050] The contact between the extension ring 15 and the top of the smoke bowl also serves as a seal, helping to prevent smoke, heat, or liquid from leaking from the connection. This is crucial for maintaining a stable environment within the heating chamber 131, preventing the entry of external impurities, and improving the overall performance of the product.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the heater 1 in this embodiment has a mating part 16 on its upper edge that is connected to the housing 2, and the lower part of the housing 2 abuts against the mating part 16.

[0052] The upper edge of heater 1 is designed with a specific shape or structure (such as threads, grooves, flanges, etc.) as an interface for connection with housing 2. This ensures that housing 2 can be securely installed on heater 1, preventing it from falling off or loosening, thus improving the overall stability and durability of the product. In this embodiment, the mating part 16 is used as an example of a groove.

[0053] The lower part of the housing 2 is designed with a structure that matches the mating part 16 of the heater 1. When the housing 2 is installed on the heater 1, its lower part is in close contact with the mating part 16, forming a certain sealing or fixing effect. This enhances the tightness of the connection between the heater 1 and the housing 2, preventing external impurities or moisture from entering the housing 2.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 2 is provided with a mounting portion 22 that connects to the anti-scalding ring 4. The anti-scalding ring 4 is provided with a connector 41, which connects to the mounting portion 22. The mounting portion 22 (such as a threaded hole, a snap-fit ​​groove, etc.) serves as the basis for connecting to the anti-scalding ring 4. The anti-scalding ring 4 is connected to the housing 2 by connecting to the mounting portion 22 through the connector 41.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, a heat insulation gap is provided between the shell 2 and the anti-scalding ring 4 in this embodiment.

[0056] The heat insulation gap serves as a heat insulation mechanism. When heater 1 is working, the heat generated is mainly absorbed by the housing 2 and conducted to the external environment, while the heat insulation gap effectively blocks the direct transfer of heat to the anti-scalding ring 4. The presence of the heat insulation gap greatly reduces the temperature of the anti-scalding ring 4. Even if the housing 2 heats up due to the operation of heater 1, the user will not feel overheated when touching the anti-scalding ring 4, thus effectively preventing burns.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the ventilation channel 21 is connected to the outside at the top of the housing 2. The ventilation valve 3 is a lever. The ventilation valve 3 is rotatably connected to the housing 2. The top of the ventilation valve 3 is provided with a first ventilation hole 31.

[0058] The amount of external air entering the ventilation channel 21 is controlled by adjusting the overlap between the first vent 31 and the ventilation channel 21. The ventilation valve 3 is a lever-type valve, which is lightweight and easy to operate. The lever valve opens or closes the ventilation channel 21 by rotation, achieving simple control of the gas flow. This simplifies the gas control mechanism, allowing users to quickly adjust the ventilation volume simply by flicking the lever.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the ventilation channel 21 is connected to the outside at the side of the housing 2. The ventilation valve 3 is a screw cap and is rotatably connected to the housing 2. A second ventilation hole 32 is provided through the side of the ventilation valve 3.

[0060] The amount of outside air entering the ventilation channel 21 is controlled by adjusting the alignment between the second vent 32 and the ventilation channel 21. The alignment between the second vent 32 and the ventilation channel 21 can be easily adjusted by rotating the cap.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the ventilation channel 21 is connected to the outside at the top of the housing 2. The ventilation valve 3 is a screw cap and is threaded to the housing 2. A third ventilation hole 33 is provided through the side of the ventilation valve 3. By rotating the ventilation valve 3, the ventilation valve 3 rises or falls along the housing 2 to control the position between the ventilation valve 3 and the housing 2, thereby adjusting the opening range of the third ventilation hole 33 to control the amount of outside air entering the ventilation channel 21.

[0062] The vent valve 3 rises along the housing 2, increasing the opening depth of the third vent 33. The vent valve 3 falls along the housing 2, decreasing the opening depth of the third vent 33.

[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
