Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Electronic hookahs are a new type of tobacco product that heats tobacco paste to produce vapor for users to inhale. Due to their unique user experience and more controllable component release compared to traditional tobacco, they have gradually gained attention in the market in recent years. Unlike traditional hookahs that require open flame combustion, electronic hookahs use electric heating, which reduces the harmful substances produced during combustion, thus attracting considerable attention and favor from consumers. Currently, the electronic hookah market is in a phase of rapid development, with an increasing number of manufacturers worldwide and a growing variety of product types. In terms of product type, atomizer-based electronic hookahs dominate.

[0003] Currently, there are various technical solutions for the structural design and heating control of electronic hookah products on the market. In electronic hookah products that contain multiple batteries forming a battery pack, the batteries are usually located above the air duct, which does not fully consider the optimal use of internal space, resulting in a significant limitation on the air duct layout.

[0004] Existing electronic hookahs still have some shortcomings in their structural design. Most products do not reserve dedicated space for the air pipe, forcing the pipe to be placed in the limited remaining space. This often results in a bend and narrow airway, greatly hindering smooth airflow and affecting the user's smoking experience. Moreover, the unreasonable layout also prevents the efficient use of overall space, causing unnecessary space waste and limiting the development of miniaturization and portability.

[0031] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] The inventors, through analysis of existing technologies, discovered that current electronic hookah products on the market employ various technical solutions in terms of structural design and heating control. In electronic hookah products containing multiple batteries forming a battery pack, the batteries are typically positioned above the airway, failing to fully consider the optimal use of internal space, resulting in significant limitations on the airway layout. Existing electronic hookahs still have some shortcomings in their structural design. Most products do not reserve dedicated space for the airway tube, forcing its placement within limited remaining space. This often results in a bend and narrow airway, significantly hindering smooth airflow and negatively impacting the user's experience. Furthermore, this unreasonable layout prevents efficient use of overall space, leading to unnecessary waste and limiting the product's potential for miniaturization and portability.

[0033] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts a battery structure, which includes a control compartment body, a battery pack assembly and a vent pipe disposed within the control compartment body; the vent pipe passes through the battery pack assembly; the battery pack assembly includes at least three battery units, which are connected in a preset manner to form a central cavity for accommodating the vent pipe; the control compartment body includes a control main board and a light strip assembly; the control main board is electrically connected to the battery pack assembly and the light strip assembly respectively; the light strip assembly is provided at one end of the battery pack assembly, and the control main board is provided at the other end of the battery pack assembly.

[0034] Reference Figure 1-6The diagram shows a schematic of the battery structure of this utility model, which can specifically include the following structure: a control compartment body 2, a battery pack assembly 23 disposed within the control compartment body 2, and a vent pipe 4; the vent pipe 4 penetrates the battery pack assembly 23; the battery pack assembly 23 includes at least three interconnected battery cells and a central cavity formed by the battery cells, the central cavity being used to accommodate the vent pipe 4; the control compartment body 2 includes a control main board 25 and a light strip assembly 22; the control main board 25 is electrically connected to the battery pack assembly 23 and the light strip assembly 22 respectively; the light strip assembly 22 is provided at one end of the battery pack assembly 23, and the control main board 25 is provided at the other end of the battery pack assembly 23.

[0035] In the embodiments of this application, compared to the prior art where the ventilator 4 can only be placed in a limited remaining space, which often results in a tortuous and narrow airway, greatly hindering the smooth flow of air and making the internal space setting unreasonable, this application provides a solution for the battery pack assembly 23 including at least three interconnected battery units and a central cavity formed by the connection of the battery units, the central cavity being used to accommodate the ventilator 4. Specifically, it includes a control chamber body 2 and a battery pack assembly 23 and a ventilator 4 disposed within the control chamber body 2; the ventilator 4 penetrates the battery pack assembly 23; the battery pack assembly 23 includes at least three interconnected battery units and a central cavity formed by the connection of the battery units, the central cavity being used to accommodate the ventilator 4; the control chamber body 2 includes a control main board 25 and a light strip assembly 22; the control main board 25 is electrically connected to the battery pack assembly 23 and the light strip assembly 22 respectively; one end of the battery pack assembly 23 is provided with the light strip assembly 22, and the other end of the battery pack assembly 23 is provided with the control main board 25. The battery pack assembly 23, composed of multiple battery units, has a space in the middle to accommodate the air duct 4, making the entire airway smoother and saving overall space. This solves the problems of bends and narrowness in the airway, which greatly hinder the smooth flow of air and the unreasonable internal space layout. By reserving space in the battery pack for the electronic hookah air duct 4, the airway can be smoother, avoiding airflow obstruction that affects the user experience. This application can save overall space, making the device structure more compact and easier to carry. This application can also reduce the squeezing friction between components, improve the service life of the battery pack and air duct 4, and make the internal layout of the device more reasonable, enhancing overall stability.

[0036] The following will further describe a battery structure in this exemplary embodiment.

[0037] In this embodiment of the application, the control compartment body 2 includes a battery pack assembly 23 disposed within the control compartment body 2 and a vent pipe 4; the vent pipe 4 penetrates the battery pack assembly 23.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, the control chamber body 2 integrates a battery pack assembly 23 and an air duct 4, serving as the control component of the entire device. The air duct 4 passes through the battery pack assembly 23. This design, by reserving a channel between the battery pack assemblies 23, allows the air duct 4 to pass through in a straight line or along an optimized path, avoiding airflow obstruction caused by bends in the airway and ensuring smooth inhalation of the e-hair pipe. Simultaneously, the embedded layout of the air duct 4 and the battery pack assembly 23 reduces space redundancy, making the control chamber structure more compact. This improves the portability of the device and reduces frictional loss by organizing the internal components, enhancing the overall structural stability and durability.

[0039] In this embodiment of the application, the battery pack assembly 23 includes at least three interconnected battery cells and a central cavity formed by the battery cells, the central cavity being used to accommodate the vent pipe 4.

[0040] In one specific embodiment, the battery pack assembly 23 is composed of at least three interconnected battery cells, which together form a central cavity. The cavity can be triangular or polygonal if there are eight battery cells. This central cavity is specifically designed to accommodate the vent pipe 4. Through the annular or array arrangement of the battery cells, the vent pipe 4 can run through the entire battery pack assembly 23 along the central cavity. This structure utilizes the gaps between the battery cells to form air passages, avoiding additional space occupation. The regular design of the central cavity ensures a smooth path for the vent pipe 4, reducing airflow resistance. Simultaneously, it allows for a compact integration of the battery pack assembly 23 and the vent pipe 4, improving the utilization of internal space and structural stability of the device.

[0041] In this embodiment of the application, the battery pack assembly 23 includes eight battery cells; the battery pack assembly 23 is square, and the sides of the battery pack assembly 23 are formed by three of the battery cells connected side by side.

[0042] As an example, the battery pack assembly 23 contains eight battery cells in a square structure, with each side consisting of three battery cells connected side by side, resulting in a compact overall layout. This design, through the rational arrangement of the battery cells, ensures power supply capacity while utilizing the structure between the cells to create a regular space, facilitating the installation of components such as the vent pipe 4, thus balancing functionality and space utilization.

[0043] In one specific embodiment, nine battery cells can be arranged in a circular shape. The middle battery cell is left empty, forming a regular central cavity to accommodate the vent pipe 4. This arrangement makes the battery pack assembly 23 structurally symmetrical, the central cavity diameter uniform, and the vent pipe 4 has low resistance when passing through it. It also makes efficient use of space and combines power supply and ventilation functions.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, a battery pack assembly 23 can be composed of 10 battery cells. Six battery cells are arranged in the outer ring to form a ring structure, and four battery cells are placed in the inner ring to fill the space in a cross shape. An elliptical central cavity is formed between the ring and the cross shape. The vent pipe 4 can be bent according to the contour of the ellipse, which is suitable for the installation requirements of irregularly shaped control chambers. At the same time, the compact arrangement reduces space waste.

[0045] In one specific embodiment, 12 battery cells can be selected, with a strip-shaped central cavity reserved between the two middle rows of battery cells, through which the vent pipe 4 can pass along the long side. This layout not only facilitates the arrangement of the vent pipe 4 and makes the airflow smoother, but also allows the 12 battery cells to be flexibly grouped and connected in series to meet different voltage requirements.

[0046] In one specific embodiment, the same 12 battery cells are used, employing a double-layer design with 6 battery cells in each layer, arranged in a circular pattern. A space is reserved between the two battery layers to form a vertical central cavity through which the vent pipe 4 passes. This double-layer structure increases power capacity and is compatible with a flat control compartment, optimizing the internal space layout of the device.

[0047] In one specific embodiment, 14 battery cells constitute the battery pack assembly 23. The inner ring of 4 battery cells forms a square, the middle ring of 8 battery cells surrounds the inner ring in a ring shape, and the outer ring is filled with 2 more battery cells to form a rounded square structure. The central diamond-shaped cavity can meet the multi-angle turning requirements of the vent pipe 4, and the parallel design of the 14 battery cells in groups helps to balance the circuit and improve the stability of the driving range.

[0048] In this embodiment of the application, the control compartment body 2 includes a control compartment upper cover 21, a control compartment shell 24, and a control compartment lower cover 26; the control compartment upper cover 21, the control compartment shell 24, and the control compartment lower cover 26 form a space for accommodating the battery pack assembly 23; the control compartment upper cover 21 is provided on the side of the light strip assembly 22 away from the battery pack assembly 23.

[0049] As an example, the control compartment body 2 adopts a modular design, consisting of three parts: a control compartment upper cover 21, a control compartment shell 24, and a control compartment lower cover 26. These three parts cooperate to form a complete accommodating space for housing the battery pack assembly 23. The control compartment shell 24 serves as the main frame, providing stable support and protection for the internal components. The control compartment upper cover 21 and lower cover close from the top and bottom respectively, ensuring the battery pack assembly 23 is safely enclosed, effectively preventing dust and moisture intrusion, and avoiding damage to the components from external impacts.

[0050] In this embodiment of the application, the control compartment body 2 includes a control motherboard 25 and a light strip assembly 22; the control motherboard 25 is electrically connected to the battery pack assembly 23 and the light strip assembly 22 respectively; the light strip assembly 22 is provided at one end of the battery pack assembly 23, and the control motherboard 25 is provided at the other end of the battery pack assembly 23.

[0051] In one specific embodiment, the control motherboard 25 and the light strip assembly 22 within the control compartment body 2 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the battery pack assembly 23, forming an efficient circuit layout. The control motherboard 25, as the core hub, is electrically connected to both the battery pack assembly 23 and the light strip assembly 22, enabling real-time monitoring of battery status and adjustment of power supply logic, as well as driving the light strip to achieve lighting effects such as power level indication and operating status indication. The light strip assembly 22 is installed at one end of the battery pack assembly 23 and communicates with the control motherboard 25 via a flexible cable; its luminous surface can be visualized through the control compartment cover 21. The control motherboard 25 is fixed at the other end of the battery pack assembly 23, with pre-reserved interfaces for connecting external components such as the vent pipe 4 and the display screen 244. This two-end layout shortens the circuit transmission path, reduces signal loss, and utilizes the battery pack assembly 23 as a physical separator to avoid electromagnetic interference between the light strip and the motherboard, thus improving system stability.

[0052] As an example, the light strip assembly 22 is mounted on top of the battery pack assembly 23, with its side away from the battery pack assembly 23 directly connected to the control compartment cover 21. This layout makes full use of space, allowing the components to be distributed compactly and orderly; on the other hand, the control compartment cover 21 protects the light strip assembly 22. Through the close cooperation of the components, the safety and stability of the components inside the control compartment are ensured, while also achieving optimized structural design and efficient use of space.

[0053] In this embodiment, a display screen 244 is provided inside the control compartment housing 24; the display screen 244 is electrically connected to the control motherboard 25; the display screen 244 is disposed on one side of the battery pack assembly 23. A display housing 242 for protecting the display screen 244 is embedded on one side of the control compartment housing 24; the position of the display screen 244 is adapted to the position of the display housing 242; the display housing 242 is transparent.

[0054] As an example, both the display screen 244 and the display housing 242 are circular. The display screen 244 is vertically arranged on one side of the battery pack assembly 23.

[0055] In one specific embodiment, the display screen 244, as an important interactive component, is housed within the control compartment housing 24. It is electrically connected to the control motherboard 25 and can provide real-time feedback on key information such as device operating status and parameter settings. The display screen 244 is located on one side of the battery pack assembly 23. This layout fully considers the balance between space utilization and functional implementation, ensuring sufficient installation space for the battery pack assembly 23 while facilitating user access to the displayed content.

[0056] In one specific embodiment, a display housing 242 is specially embedded on one side of the control compartment housing 24. Its main function is to provide all-round protection for the display screen 244, preventing damage to the display screen 244 due to external forces such as collisions and scratches, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the device's information display function. The display housing 242 and the display screen 244 are precisely matched and tightly integrated, ensuring that the display screen 244 is effectively protected while the display effect is not affected by installation problems. In addition, the display housing 242 is made of transparent material, which not only does not affect the normal display of the display screen 244, but also makes the display content clearly presented, allowing users to see at a glance. This satisfies the protection requirements, ensures a good human-computer interaction experience, and improves the overall practicality and reliability of the device.

[0057] In this embodiment, the control housing 24 is provided with a button assembly 243; the button assembly 243 is electrically connected to the control motherboard 25. The button assembly 243 is located below the display screen 244 and is mounted on the same board as the display screen 244.

[0058] In one specific embodiment, the button assembly 243 on the control housing 24 is electrically connected to the control motherboard 25, serving as a key interface for human-machine interaction and enabling operations such as function switching and parameter adjustment. It is positioned below the display screen 244 and integrated onto the same board, forming an integrated interactive panel. This layout facilitates quick button operation after viewing information on the display screen 244, and also simplifies internal wiring and reduces signal interference.

[0059] In this embodiment of the application, at least one sealing silicone ring 241 is provided on one side of the control chamber housing 24.

[0060] The following will further describe an electronic hookah, which includes a main unit and a battery structure as described in this application, the battery structure being connected to the main unit.

[0061] In one specific embodiment, the electronic hookah includes an air pipe 4, a heating chamber 1, a control chamber body 2, and a water bottle 3; the heating chamber 1 is connected to the water bottle 3 through the control chamber; one end of the air pipe 4 is connected to the heating chamber 1, and the other end of the air pipe 4 passes through the control chamber to the water bottle 3. The atomizing device of this application is the heating chamber 1.

[0062] As an example, this application comprises a vent pipe 4, a heating chamber 1, a control chamber body 2, and a kettle 3, with each component functionally connected to form a complete system. The heating chamber 1 and the kettle 3 are indirectly connected through the control chamber body 2. The vent pipe 4, as a key transmission component, connects to the interior of the heating chamber 1 at one end and extends through the control chamber body 2 into the kettle 3 at the other end, forming a gas or liquid transmission channel. When the heating chamber 1 is working, the generated gas can pass through the control chamber under pressure via the vent pipe 4 and finally enter the kettle 3 to complete functions such as atomization and cooling, just as the smoke in an electronic hookah flows into the kettle 3 for filtration via the vent pipe 4. The control chamber body 2 not only provides a path for the vent pipe 4 but also integrates components such as a battery and a control motherboard 25 to power and control the heating chamber 1, enabling the heating chamber 1, control chamber body 2, and kettle 3 to form a collaborative closed-loop system through the vent pipe 4.
