Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of smoking accessories, and in particular to a pipe. Background Technology
[0002] A pipe is a traditional smoking tool, typically consisting of three parts: the bowl, the stem, and the mouthpiece. The bowl holds the tobacco, the stem connects the bowl and the mouthpiece, and the mouthpiece is where the smoker inhales the smoke.
[0003] Existing pipes include fixed and adjustable types. Fixed pipes typically have a fixed structure and cannot have their smoke channels switched. This limits smokers' ability to adjust the smoke channel according to different tobacco types or smoking habits. Furthermore, a fixed smoke channel design can lead to uneven resistance or draw, affecting the smoking experience. For example, the resistance during smoking is usually related to the size and cleanliness of the smoke channel. Resistance is inversely proportional to the size of the smoke channel; the larger the channel, the less resistance. Carbon buildup or residue in the smoke channel can increase resistance, requiring timely cleaning to maintain its good condition and extend its lifespan. However, fixed-structure pipes often present the problem of inconvenient cleaning.
[0004] Adjustable pipes are designed with an adjustable flue to accommodate smokers' preferences for different types of tobacco or smoking habits. However, the bowl and stem of these adjustable pipes are often connected using bolts or similar structures, making disassembly and assembly complex and requiring certain skills and tools, which increases the difficulty of cleaning and maintenance.
[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0006] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0007] This application provides a pipe that solves the problem of how to adjust the flue and improve the ease of disassembly and assembly in the prior art.
[0008] (II) Technical Solution
[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution:
[0010] A pipe is provided, the pipe comprising: a bowl, a handle, and a mouthpiece;
[0011] The bowl and handle are respectively provided with a circular concave part and a convex part that are adapted to each other. The convex part is rotatably provided in the concave part so that the bowl can rotate around the handle.
[0012] The bowl and the handle are respectively provided with a first magnetic attractor and a second magnetic attractor at the connection point, and are magnetically connected by the first magnetic attractor and the second magnetic attractor.
[0013] The bowl is provided with a smoke chamber and a vent. The first end of the vent is connected to the smoke chamber, and the second end extends to the connection between the bowl and the handle. The handle is connected to the mouthpiece and is provided with at least two flues. The inner diameters of the at least two flues are different, and one end extends to the connection between the bowl and the handle, and is located at different relative positions on the rotation path of the second end of the vent. The other end of each flue is connected to the mouthpiece.
[0014] In some embodiments, the bottom of the bowl is provided with a circular recess, the top of the handle is provided with a circular protrusion, and the bowl and handle are respectively provided with support surfaces on the outside of the recess and the protrusion, and are in contact through the support surfaces.
[0015] In some embodiments, a groove is provided at the center of the concave and convex portions, and the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are respectively embedded in the groove of the concave and convex portions.
[0016] In some embodiments, the bottom end of the bucket handle is provided with an insertion hole communicating with each of the flues, and one end of the bucket nozzle is inserted into the inside of the insertion hole.
[0017] In some embodiments, the diameter of the first end of the vent is larger than the diameter of the second end.
[0018] In some embodiments, the vent is a tapered vent.
[0019] In some embodiments, the bowl and handle are sealed at the connection point by grease and / or a sealing ring.
[0020] In some embodiments, when the vent is opposite to and communicates with one of the flue locations, the outer contour surfaces of the bowl and the handle are smoothly connected.
[0021] In some embodiments, the bowl is provided with a first positioning magnet, and the handle is provided with a second positioning magnet in the same number as the flue, with each second positioning magnet corresponding to one flue; when the vent is opposite to and connected to any of the flues, the first positioning magnet is opposite to and magnetically connected to the corresponding second positioning magnet.
[0022] In some embodiments, when the vent is opposite to and connected to different flue positions, the bowl and handle form different shapes.
[0023] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution provided in this application include at least the following:
[0025] When using the pipe described in this application, tobacco is first placed in the smoke chamber. Then, the bowl is rotated so that the vent hole aligns with and connects with the target smoke channel. Other smoke channels are sealed by the bowl and cannot be used normally. Finally, the tobacco is lit, and smoking can begin. During this process, the user can change the resistance while smoking in two ways: first, by rotating the bowl to switch smoke channels, changing the resistance by using smoke channels with different inner diameters; second, by slightly rotating the bowl to change the resistance by altering the diameter of the connection point between the current smoke channel and the vent hole. The smaller the diameter of the connection point, the greater the resistance.
[0026] Equally important, since the bowl and the handle are magnetically connected by the first and second magnetic components, the bowl can be directly removed from the handle without the aid of tools or skills. During installation, the connection is automatically achieved simply by aligning the protrusion with the concave part. Therefore, the pipe of this application has the advantage of easy disassembly and assembly, and facilitates the cleaning of the smoke chamber and ventilation holes. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0040] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0041] There are two main types of pipes: fixed and adjustable. Fixed pipes have a relatively fixed structure, and the smoke channel cannot be changed. This design limits the flexibility for smokers to adjust the smoke channel according to tobacco type or personal smoking habits. Furthermore, a fixed smoke channel design can lead to uncomfortable resistance or uneven draw resistance during smoking, thus affecting the smoking experience. Specifically, the resistance of the smoke channel is closely related to its size and cleanliness. A larger smoke channel results in relatively less resistance; however, accumulated carbon deposits or residue increase resistance, requiring timely cleaning to maintain the pipe's good condition and extend its lifespan. However, fixed pipes are often inconvenient to clean. Adjustable pipes, on the other hand, feature an adjustable smoke channel to meet the personalized needs of smokers for different tobacco types or smoking habits. However, these pipes typically use bolts or other disassembly mechanisms for adjustment, making the process relatively complex and requiring certain skills and tools, thus increasing the difficulty of cleaning and maintenance.
[0042] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this embodiment provides a pipe. (See attached document.) Figures 1 to 4 As shown, Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the pipe in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the pipe in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a top view of the pipe in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 yes Figure 3A sectional perspective view of section A, the pipe includes: bowl 1, handle 2 and mouthpiece 3.
[0043] The bowl 1 and the handle 2 are respectively provided with a circular recess 11 and a protrusion 21 that are adapted to each other. The protrusion 21 is rotatably provided in the recess 11 so that the bowl 1 can rotate around the handle 2.
[0044] The bowl 1 and the handle 2 are respectively provided with a first magnetic 13 and a second magnetic 23 at the connection point, and are magnetically connected by the first magnetic 13 and the second magnetic 23.
[0045] The bowl 1 has a smoke chamber 12 and a vent 14. The first end 141 of the vent 14 communicates with the smoke chamber 12 to introduce smoke, and the second end 142 extends to the connection between the bowl 1 and the handle 2. The handle 2 is connected to the spout 3 and has at least two flues 22 with different inner diameters. Each flue 22 extends one end to the connection between the bowl 1 and the handle 2 and is located at different relative positions along the rotation path of the second end 142 of the vent 14, i.e., arranged in a circle. This circle is opposite to the rotation path of the vent 14 at the connection point. The other end of each flue 22 communicates with the spout 3. Users can rotate the bowl 1 to select flues 22 with different inner diameters, thereby changing the resistance when using the bowl. Multiple flues 22 also provide more options to meet the needs of different users.
[0046] The number of flues 22 can be set as needed, with each attached diagram showing two flues 22. The number of flues 22 can also be increased as needed, but it must be ensured that one end extends to the connection between the bowl 1 and the handle 2, and is located at different relative positions along the rotation path of the vent 14, so that the vent 14 can communicate with different flues 22. The other end of each flue is connected to the spout 3, so that when the spout 3 draws air, it can draw smoke from the vent 14 into the corresponding flue 22, and finally into the spout 3.
[0047] In some implementation methods, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the bowl 1 has a circular recess 11 at its bottom, and the handle 2 has a circular protrusion 21 at its top. The bowl 1 and handle 2 have a first support surface 15 and a second support surface 25 on the outer sides of the recess 11 and protrusion 21, respectively, and are in contact through these surfaces. This contact between the first support surface 15 and the second support surface 25 improves the sealing and stability of the structure, allowing for easy adjustment of the flue 22 by rotating the bowl 1.
[0048] In some implementation methods, see Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the center positions of the concave portion 11 and the convex portion 21 are respectively provided with a first groove 16 and a second groove 26, and the first magnetic attractor 13 and the second magnetic attractor 23 are respectively embedded in the first groove 16 and the second groove 26 of the concave portion 11 and the convex portion 21.
[0049] In one embodiment where the handle 2 and the nozzle 3 are connected, see [reference needed]. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom end of the bucket handle 2 is provided with a socket 27 that communicates with each flue 22, and one end of the bucket nozzle 3 is fixed to the inside of the socket 27 by plugging it in. This plugging method makes the installation and removal of the bucket nozzle 3 very convenient, and facilitates cleaning and maintenance.
[0050] In another embodiment of the connection between the handle 2 and the nozzle 3, the handle 2 and the nozzle 3 are connected by existing connection methods such as threaded connection or snap-fit connection.
[0051] In one embodiment of the vent 14, see [reference] Figure 4 As shown, the first end 141 of the vent 14 is designed with a larger aperture to facilitate the smooth flow of smoke; the second end 142 has a smaller aperture. The vent 14 as a whole forms a conical structure, which can make the upper layer of tobacco burn more evenly, reduce the frequency of use of the tamping rod, and make the smoke flow more smoothly.
[0052] It is understandable that the diameters at both ends of the vent 14 can be the same.
[0053] To improve the sealing performance between the bowl 1 and the stem 2 of the pipe, the bowl 1 and the stem 2 are sealed at the joint with grease. During installation, grease is applied to the joint between the bowl 1 and the stem 2. For example, a high-temperature resistant silicone-based grease is used, applied to the contact surfaces of the concave and convex parts to achieve a sealing effect and prevent smoke leakage.
[0054] To improve the sealing performance between the bowl 1 and the handle 2, the bowl 1 and the handle 2 can also be sealed at the connection point by a sealing ring 4, which is fitted onto the annular groove around the protrusion 21.
[0055] In some implementation methods, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, when the vent 14 is positioned opposite and connected to one of the flues 22, the outer contour surfaces of the bowl 1 and the handle 2 are smoothly connected. A smooth connection means that the outer contour surfaces of both form a curved or straight extension surface. Of course, a smooth connection can include local gaps between the bowl 1 and the handle 2. The smoothly connected outer contour surface improves the appearance of the pipe, making it more aesthetically pleasing. Simultaneously, the smoothly connected outer contour surface serves as an indicator that the flue 22 is connected to the vent 14, making it easy for the user to identify the connection status.
[0056] To allow the pipe's shape to change as the flue 22 switches, refer to... Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of how the shape of the pipe changes with the switching of the flue in the embodiment of this application. When the vent 14 is opposite to and connected to different flue 22 positions, the bowl 1 and the handle 2 are combined to form different shapes. For example, the bowl 1 is a non-rotationally symmetrical structure. When it rotates around the handle 2, it is combined with the handle 2 to form different contours. This can not only make it easier to identify the switching state of the flue 22, but also enrich the product appearance and enhance the product's interest.
[0057] See Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 yes Figure 3 A sectional perspective view of section D. To facilitate user identification of the alignment between the flue 22 and the vent 14, the bowl 1 has a first positioning magnet 17 in the recess 11, and the handle 2 has the same number of second positioning magnets 24 as the flue 22 in the protrusion 21, with each second positioning magnet 24 corresponding to one flue 22. When the vent 14 is aligned and connected to any flue 22, the first positioning magnet 17 and one of the second positioning magnets 24 are aligned and magnetically connected, making it more difficult to rotate the bowl 1, generating tactile feedback and creating a sense of adjustment, indicating that the flue is switched to the correct position. Users can judge the alignment between the flue 22 and the vent 14 by using this sense of adjustment when rotating the bowl 1 to adjust the resistance of the smoke.
[0058] When using the pipe of this application, tobacco is first placed in the smoke chamber 12. Then, the bowl 1 is rotated so that the vent 14 is aligned with and connected to the target smoke channel 22. Other smoke channels 22 are sealed by the bowl 1 and cannot be used normally. Finally, the tobacco is lit, and smoking can begin. During this process, the user can change the resistance when smoking in two ways: first, by rotating the bowl 1 to switch smoke channels 22, changing the resistance by using smoke channels 22 with different inner diameters; second, by slightly rotating the bowl 1, changing the resistance by altering the diameter of the connection between the current smoke channel 22 and the vent 14. The smaller the diameter at the connection, the greater the resistance.
[0059] Equally important, since the bowl 1 and the handle 2 are magnetically connected by the first magnetic 13 and the second magnetic 23, the bowl 1 can be directly removed from the handle 2 without the aid of tools and skills. During installation, the connection can be automatically achieved simply by aligning the protrusion 21 with the concave part 11. Therefore, the pipe of this application has the advantage of easy disassembly and assembly, which facilitates the cleaning of the smoke chamber 12 and the ventilation hole 14.
[0060] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
