[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hookah technology, and in particular to a hookah capsule. Background Technology

[0002] As the hookah consumption market continues to expand, consumers are increasingly demanding higher quality hookah products, better user experience, and improved hygiene and safety. Currently, existing hookah storage devices on the market are used to quantitatively store hookah smoking materials (oil or paste), reducing the need for users to fill the hookah bowl with these materials. However, these devices have some shortcomings in design and functionality.

[0003] Existing hookah storage devices are not designed properly in terms of air intake and exhaust functions. Some devices lack dedicated air intake and exhaust channels, requiring manual puncture to create these channels. However, this manual puncture method makes it difficult to precisely control the amount of air entering and exiting the storage device, resulting in incomplete combustion or atomization of the hookah material and affecting the amount and taste of smoke produced. Therefore, improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a hookah capsule that can quantitatively control the amount of air entering the capsule and the amount of air exiting the capsule through the cooperation of the air inlet and outlet, making the design of the capsule's air intake and exhaust functions more reasonable and ensuring the amount of smoke produced and the taste.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a hookah capsule, comprising a capsule body and a capsule cap, wherein the capsule body has an internal cavity for storing hookah smoking material.

[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 a hookah capsule, comprising a capsule body 1 and a capsule cap 2. The capsule body 1 has an internal cavity 11 for storing hookah smoking material.

[0029] The capsule cap 2 is located on the upper part of the cavity 11 and seals the cavity 11. An air inlet 21 is provided on the edge of the capsule cap 2.

[0030] The cavity 11 has a boss 12 inside, the boss 12 has an exhaust port 13 for exhausting air, and a sealing plug 3 is provided at the exhaust port 13.

[0031] Specifically, by sealing the cavity 11 with the capsule cap 2, leakage of e-liquid or e-cream can be effectively prevented, and external impurities can be prevented from entering the cavity 11 to contaminate the e-liquid or e-cream, thus ensuring product quality and hygiene safety.

[0032] An air inlet 21 is provided at the edge of the capsule cover 2 to provide an air intake channel for the use of hookah, ensuring a sufficient oxygen supply during combustion or atomization.

[0033] An air outlet 13 and a sealing plug 3 are provided through the protrusion 12 inside the cavity 11. In the storage state, the sealing plug 3 seals the air outlet 13 to prevent the evaporation of e-liquid or e-cream and the entry of external odors. When in use, the sealing plug 3 is opened, and the smoke can be discharged through the air outlet 13, making the use of hookah smooth and effectively controlling the emission of smoke.

[0034] By coordinating the air inlet 21 and the air outlet 13, the amount of air entering the cavity 11 and the amount of air exiting the cavity 11 can be quantitatively controlled, making the air intake and exhaust functions of the capsule more rationally designed, and ensuring the amount of smoke generated and the taste.

[0035] When you need to smoke hookah, open the sealing plug 3, put the capsule into the dry pot of the hookah, and heat the capsule with burning charcoal or a heater. A certain amount of hot air enters the cavity 11 of the capsule body 1 through the air inlet 21 and heats the hookah smoking material in the cavity 11. The hookah smoking material is fully burned and atomized to produce smoke. The user inhales through the hookah hose. A certain amount of smoke is discharged from the air outlet 13 and enters the user's mouth through the hose. The amount of smoke produced and the taste are both guaranteed.

[0036] In actual use, the capsule cap 2 is fixed to the circumferential edge of the capsule body 1 by rolling, so that the capsule cap 2 seals the cavity 11.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the edge of the capsule cap 2 in this embodiment is provided with a first sinking groove 22, and the air inlet 21 is provided in the first sinking groove 22.

[0038] Specifically, a first recessed groove 22 is provided at the edge of the capsule cap 2, providing a specific spatial position for the arrangement of the air inlet 21. This changes the current state of disordered air intake structures or the unfavorable situation for air intake volume control, and constructs a relatively independent and plannable air intake area. This helps to improve the accuracy of air intake volume control. Specifically, the first recessed groove 22 guides the hot air to act directly on the hookah smoking material.

[0039] By placing the air inlet 21 within the first recessed groove 22, the direction and path of air intake are guided and constrained to a certain extent. Compared to air intake methods without a fixed position, this method can more effectively control the air entering the storage device. It avoids the problem of difficulty in quantitatively controlling the air intake caused by manual puncture, making the amount of air entering the storage device relatively stable. This, in turn, promotes the complete combustion or atomization of the hookah smoking material, increases the amount of smoke produced, and improves the taste of the smoke.

[0040] Preferably, the boss 12 is located at the center point inside the cavity 11, so that the air outlet 13 is also located at the center point inside the cavity 11. Hot air enters the cavity 11 through the air inlet 21 in the first recessed groove 22 at the edge of the capsule cover 2. The hot air comes into full contact with the hookah smoking material along the radial direction of the cavity 11, so that the hookah smoking material burns more completely. The generated smoke is then discharged through the air outlet 13 located at the center point inside the cavity 11, ensuring the taste of the smoke.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the capsule cap 2 is provided with at least two second sinking grooves 23 on the outer periphery of the corresponding boss 12, and a disconnection interval is provided between the two second sinking grooves 23.

[0042] At least two second recessed grooves 23 are provided on the outer periphery of the corresponding protrusion 12 of the capsule cover 2, which changes the original planar structure of the cover surface and constructs an air intake or exhaust auxiliary structure area with a specific concave shape. This increases the complexity and guidance of the contact between hot air and the cover, providing richer path options for the circulation of hot air. Compared with existing storage devices that lack dedicated channels and have unreasonable air intake and exhaust, this helps to improve the circulation of hot air in the cavity 11 near the inner surface of the capsule cover 2, and promotes the fullness of the combustion or atomization process of the hookah smoking material.

[0043] A break interval is set between the two second sinking troughs 23, breaking the continuity between the second sinking troughs 23 and forming a structure that combines the "break" and "channel" of airflow. This allows the hot air to generate specific flow changes at the break interval when passing through the second sinking troughs 23, such as forming eddies or pressure changes, thereby further regulating the flow speed and direction of the hot air in the cavity 11.

[0044] By discontinuing the interval to regulate the hot air in the cavity 11, the problem of increased pressure in the cavity 11 due to the obstruction of gas flow by the second sink trough 23 during suction is avoided, thus reducing the situation where the water pipe suction material is directly carried out during gas flow.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a safety gap is provided between the second sinking groove 23 and the top horizontal surface of the boss 12. The spacing of the safety gap is ≤A, and the value of A ranges from 0.1mm to 2mm.

[0046] Specifically, a safety gap is provided between the second sinking trough 23 and the top horizontal plane of the boss 12. This changes the existing state where the hookah smoking material is tightly attached to or in disordered contact with the inner wall of the storage device, creating a micro-space with a certain buffering and separating function. This gap can regulate the local pressure distribution during airflow, preventing airflow obstruction caused by excessive contact between the second sinking trough 23 and the top horizontal plane of the boss 12 or structural interference, while also providing tolerance for possible minor deformations or manufacturing errors.

[0047] The value of A can be 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4mm, 1.5mm, 1.6mm, 1.7mm, 1.8mm, 1.9mm, or 2mm. In this embodiment, the value of A is set to 0.9mm. Through a safety gap, excessive contact or structural interference between the second sinking groove 23 and the top horizontal surface of the boss 12 is avoided, which could obstruct airflow.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the boss 12 in this embodiment is circular, and an inclined arc surface 14 is provided between the boss 12 and the inner wall of the cavity 11. The cross-sectional length of the inclined arc surface 14 is greater than the diameter of the boss 12.

[0049] Specifically, the circular boss 12 is structurally symmetrical. During air flow, compared with other shapes, the air resistance distribution around the boss 12 is more uniform, which can reduce local turbulence and pressure loss caused by irregular shape, and enable the air to flow in a more stable manner in the storage device.

[0050] An inclined arc surface 14 is provided between the boss 12 and the inner wall of the cavity 11, which changes the right angle or sharp transition structure that might exist between the two. The inclined arc surface 14 can guide the direction of air flow, making the flow path smoother when the air moves radially from the edge area of ​​the cavity 11 towards the boss 12, reducing the resistance to air flow, and avoiding the dead air flow angle that might be generated by the right angle structure.

[0051] The cross-sectional length of the inclined arc surface 14 is greater than the diameter of the boss 12, and the inclined arc surface 14 has a longer guiding distance and a larger transition range. This allows the air to have enough time and space to adjust its flow state when passing through the area between the boss 12 and the inner wall of the cavity 11, and the air smoothly converges near the boss 12, effectively buffering the impact of airflow changes.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the sealing plug 3 in this embodiment includes a plug body 31 and a sealing edge 32. The plug body 31 seals the air outlet 13 and abuts against the bottom surface of the capsule cap 2, and the sealing edge 32 is attached to the outer wall of the boss 12.

[0053] Specifically, the plug 31 directly seals the air outlet 13 and simultaneously contacts the bottom surface of the capsule cap 2, forming a multi-directional sealing structure to prevent air leakage from the air outlet 13 and the gaps on the bottom surface of the cap. This ensures that the hookah smoking material will not leak out from the air outlet 13 before the capsule is used.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also includes an outer cover 4 and an outer shell 5. The capsule body 1 is disposed inside the outer shell 5, and the outer cover 4 seals the outer shell 5.

[0055] Specifically, the capsule body 1 is placed inside the outer shell 5, using the physical barrier of the outer shell 5 to isolate external dust, debris, collisions, and other interfering factors, providing a stable and safe environment for the capsule body 1. This ensures the quality of the hookah smoking material inside the capsule.

[0056] The outer cover 4 and the outer shell 5 are sealed together to block the passage of air and moisture, preventing the external environment from having an adverse effect on the internal capsule body 1 and the water pipe material.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a sealing strip 41 is provided on the inner side of the outer cover 4 corresponding to the first recessed groove 22.

[0058] Specifically, the sealing strip 41 fills the gap between the outer cover 4 and the first sinking groove 22, forming a closed space to prevent air from entering the first sinking groove 22 from the gap, ensuring that the hookah smoking material will not leak out through the air inlet 21 and the first sinking groove 22 before the capsule is used.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer shell 5 is provided with a support platform 51 corresponding to the boss 12, and the support platform 51 abuts against the sealing plug 3.

[0060] Specifically, the support platform 51 provides a fixed support point for the sealing plug 3. By abutting against the sealing plug 3, the stability of the sealing plug 3 at the position of the boss 12 is enhanced, and the displacement of the sealing plug 3 is prevented from causing sealing failure.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, a limiting groove 52 is provided inside the outer shell 5 of this embodiment, and the edge of the capsule body 1 is disposed within the limiting groove 52.

[0062] Specifically, the limiting groove 52 constrains the edge of the capsule body 1, limiting its position and range of motion, and preventing the capsule body 1 from shaking or shifting inside the shell 5.

[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.
