Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic hookah technology, and in particular to an electronic hookah. Background Technology

[0002] Existing electronic cigarettes generally include a battery component, an atomizing component, and a control component. The battery component provides electrical power. The atomizing component atomizes the e-liquid to form vapor for the user to inhale. The control component includes a control circuit and an airflow sensor. When the smoker inhales, a high-speed airflow is created. The airflow sensor detects the airflow and generates a working signal, which is sent to the circuit. The circuit controls the power supply path between the battery and the atomizing component based on the detected working signal. The heating wire inside the atomizing component heats up, and the e-liquid evaporates and atomizes, forming an aerosol that simulates smoke. To satisfy users' psychological need for hookah, many existing electronic cigarettes are made in the shape of hookahs, but they cannot simulate the sound of real hookahs or provide a water bottle or basin to make a slurping sound when inhaling. However, they are also relatively large and heavy, which is inconvenient for users. Utility Model Content

The liquid storage tube 31 is located inside the outer tube 2 and extends longitudinally along the outer tube 2. The first sealing seat 32 covers the first end of the liquid storage tube 31 and is connected to the mouthpiece 1. The second sealing seat 33 covers the second end of the liquid storage tube 31. The first sealing seat 32 and the second sealing seat 33 can be made of elastic materials such as silicone or rubber, thus effectively preventing e-liquid leakage.

[0023] A porous liquid-absorbing column 34 is located inside the liquid storage tube 31 and is used to absorb e-liquid. Inside, it forms an atomizing chamber 341 that communicates with the mouthpiece 1, extending through the two opposite end faces of the porous liquid-absorbing column 34. The porous liquid-absorbing column 34 can be made of porous materials such as porous ceramics, porous foam, or cotton for absorbing e-liquid. The e-liquid can be made of propylene glycol, glycerol, and flavorings, as long as it can atomize to form smoke when heated to a certain temperature; the specific materials are not limited here.

[0024] The liquid guiding component 35 is located within the atomizing chamber 341 of the porous liquid suction column 34 and is in contact with the porous liquid suction column 34 to conduct the e-liquid within the porous liquid suction column 34 to the heating element 36. The liquid guiding component 35 can be made of cotton cloth, non-woven fabric, or a combination thereof, or it can be made of porous ceramic or other materials. The heating element 36 is attached to the liquid guiding component 35 and can be a heating wire or a heating mesh. After the heating element 36 is energized and heats up, it atomizes the e-liquid on the liquid guiding component 35 to form smoke, which then flows out from the mouthpiece 1.

[0025] The first end of the battery assembly 4 is connected to the atomizing assembly 3, and the second end of the battery assembly 4 is connected to the liquid storage assembly 7. The first and second ends of the battery assembly 4 are positioned opposite each other. The battery assembly 4 includes a battery sleeve 41, a battery 42, a connector 43, a liquid suction block 44, and a sealing sleeve 45. The first and second ends of the battery sleeve 41 are positioned opposite each other. The battery sleeve 41 is provided with a receiving groove 411, a fixing groove 412, and a first vent 413 communicating with the atomizing chamber 341 of the atomizing assembly 3. The receiving groove 411 and the first vent 413 are arranged side by side. The opening of the receiving groove 411 faces the first end face of the battery sleeve 41. The bottom wall of the receiving groove 411 is provided with a second sensing hole 414, which communicates with the receiving groove 411 and the fixing groove 412. The fixing groove 412 is located at the second end face of the battery sleeve 41.

[0026] A fixing post 415 extending toward the first end of the battery sleeve 41 is provided on the wall of the fixing groove 412. A limiting step 4151 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the fixing post 415. The fixing post 415 is provided with a second vent 416 communicating with the first vent 413. The second vent 416 is connected to the outside of the electronic hookah through the liquid storage component 7. Both the first vent 413 and the second vent 416 are provided along the longitudinal direction of the battery sleeve 41. The cross-sectional area of ​​the second vent 416 is smaller than that of the first vent 413. The opening of the second vent 416 facing the first vent 413 extends into the first vent 413 to form a liquid-blocking ring 417, which can prevent the leakage of e-liquid.

[0027] The battery 42 is located within the receiving groove 411. Since the first vent 413 is arranged parallel to the receiving groove 411, the probability of e-liquid flowing into the receiving groove 411 is greatly reduced. The connector 43 covers the opening of the receiving groove 411 and is connected to the battery sleeve 41 and the second sealing seat 33 of the atomizing assembly 3. The connector 43 includes a docking groove 431 communicating with the atomizing assembly 3. One end of the second sealing seat 33 is inserted into the docking groove 431 to connect the atomizing assembly 3 to the docking groove 431.

[0028] The bottom wall of the docking groove 431 extends into the first air passage 413 to form a docking column 432, which not only ensures reliable fixation but also reduces the probability of e-liquid flowing into the receiving tank 411. The docking column 432 is provided with a third air passage 433, which communicates with the docking groove 431 and the first air passage 413, and is connected to the atomizing chamber 341 through the docking groove 431. The bottom wall of the docking groove 431 extends into the direction of the atomizing component 3 to form a liquid-blocking column 434, which prevents e-liquid from flowing into the receiving tank 411. The liquid-blocking column 434 is provided with a first sensing hole 435 connected to the docking groove 431 and the receiving tank 411, and the first sensing hole 435 is connected to the atomizing chamber 341 through the docking groove 431.

[0029] The absorbent block 44 is located within the docking groove 431 and is used to absorb leaked or condensed e-liquid. The absorbent block 44 can be made of porous materials such as cotton. The sealing sleeve 45 is fitted onto the docking post 432 and elastically abuts against the wall of the first vent 413, thus achieving a better seal and preventing e-liquid from flowing into the receiving groove 411. One end of the sealing sleeve 45 extends between the bottom wall of the receiving groove 411 and the opening of the first vent 413 to define the position of the sealing sleeve 45, thus providing not only good sealing performance but also easy assembly and placement during assembly.

[0030] The control component 5 is located within the fixing groove 412 and sleeved on the fixing post 415. The limiting step 4151 abuts against the control component 5, thus ensuring a relatively stable and reliable fixation. The control component 5 is electrically connected to the battery assembly 4 and the underwater acoustic generator 6. It includes a control board 51, an airflow sensor 52, a light source 53, and a control circuit (not shown in the figure). The control board 51 is located within the fixing groove 412. The airflow sensor 52 is located within the fixing groove 412 and is electrically connected to the control circuit. The second sensing hole 414 communicates with the airflow sensor 52 through the fixing groove 412.

[0031] In other words, the sensing channel formed by the first sensing hole 435, the receiving groove 411, and the second sensing hole 414 is separated from the air intake channel formed by the first air passage 413, etc. This not only improves the sensitivity of inhalation but also better prevents e-liquid from flowing into the airflow sensor 52, thus avoiding damage to the airflow sensor 52. The light source 53 is fixed on the side of the control board 51 facing the liquid storage assembly 7. There are several light sources 53, which are evenly spaced and form a ring. The control circuit is located on the control board 51 and is electrically connected to the underwater acoustic generator 6 and the atomizing assembly 3.

[0032] The underwater sound generator 6 is located within the mounting slot 412 and mounted on the control board 51. The underwater sound generator 6 is used to produce a water sound when the user inhales the electronic hookah. When the user inhales, the airflow sensor 52 is triggered, sending a working signal to the control circuit. The control circuit then controls the heating element 36 to heat up and the underwater sound generator 6 to emit the water sound based on the working signal. The working signal can be a high-level signal or a low-level signal, and the underwater sound generator 6 can be a speaker. The volume of the sound emitted by the underwater sound generator 6 can be adjusted as needed.

[0033] The liquid storage assembly 7 is connected to the battery sleeve 41 and covers the fixing groove 412. The liquid storage assembly 7 contains a ring-shaped liquid storage chamber 70, which corresponds to the position of the light source 53. The liquid storage chamber 70 stores a flowing liquid 701 that mimics water and several flowing particles 702. The flowing liquid 701 can be water or oil, as long as it is a liquid that can flow at room temperature. The liquid storage chamber 70 is isolated from the atomizing assembly 3. At least a portion of the chamber wall of the liquid storage chamber 70 is translucent to allow observation of the flowing liquid 701. The flowing particles 702 are located within the liquid storage chamber 70 and are mixed with the flowing liquid 701. The flowing particles 702 can flow along with the flowing liquid 701. The light source 53 is fixed to the side of the control panel 51 facing the liquid storage chamber 70 and is used to illuminate the flowing particles 702, causing the flowing particles to reflect light out of the electronic hookah. The flowing particles 702 emit dazzling light in all directions, thus improving the user experience. The flowing particles 702 can be gravel or plastic particles, etc.
