Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe technology, specifically to an intelligent ignition pipe. Background Technology

[0002] A pipe is a device used for smoking tobacco. After stuffing it with chopped tobacco, it is lit and smoked. It is estimated that the pipe as a smoking tool appeared when the act of smoking began, and using a pipe is the earliest way of smoking.

[0003] Existing pipe structures include a chamber for storing tobacco and a stem with a mouthpiece and internal air passages. Users create negative pressure by biting the mouthpiece at the end of the stem, allowing outside air to pass through the chamber to ignite the tobacco, thus accelerating the combustion and use of the tobacco. Traditional pipes require users to put in the tobacco and then ignite it using an external ignition device, which is very inconvenient. Furthermore, in ordinary pipes, the used tobacco does not automatically extinguish when not in use, continuing to burn and consume. Cleaning pipes is also very tedious. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an easy-to-use intelligent ignition pipe that can be used whenever needed and automatically extinguishes when not in use to save tobacco.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is: a smart ignition pipe, comprising:

[0006] The tobacco chamber includes an outer shell, a vent cover, and a ceramic tobacco cup component located inside the outer shell.

[0007] The cigarette holder is equipped with a flue connecting rod at one end, which is connected to a ceramic cigarette cup, and the other end of the flue connecting rod is connected to a cigarette mouthpiece;

[0008] An air negative pressure sensor is installed in a radial opening on the side of the flue connecting rod near the mouthpiece;

[0009] The electric ignition device includes a high-voltage igniter and a high-voltage needle mounted on the ceramic tobacco cup. This intelligent ignition pipe, through a radial opening in the flue near the mouthpiece and the installation of an air negative pressure sensor microphone, triggers the high-voltage igniter via an electrical connection. This allows the tobacco to ignite simultaneously with the negative pressure created by inhalation and the high-voltage needle generating a high-voltage arc. A vent cover allows air to enter through the vent during use, and when not inhaling, it forms a protective cover that prevents a large amount of air from entering the ceramic tobacco cup, causing the tobacco to extinguish and cease combustion. This reduces tobacco waste and smoke production, and the automatic extinguishing of the tobacco when not in use enhances safety.

[0010] As a further feature of the above solution, the electric ignition device also includes a PCB board, an indicator light, a switch button, and a battery pack. The negative air pressure sensor is electrically connected to the PCB board, and one end of the indicator light and the switch button extends out of the smoke rod.

[0011] As a further feature of the above solution, the outer shell is also provided with a pressing cover that is movable relative to the outer shell and a cigarette ash lifting rod. One end of the cigarette ash lifting rod is fixed to the pressing cover, and the other end is located at the bottom of the ceramic cigarette cup.

[0012] As a further feature of the above solution, the press cover is also provided with a reset spring, which is used to drive the press cover to extend outward from the outer shell to reset. The end of the press cover located in the inner cavity of the outer shell is also provided with a limiting flange to restrict its disengagement from the outer shell.

[0013] As a further feature of the above solution, the vent cover is made of silicone material and has several vent holes. The opening of the vent cover has an inwardly tapered arc groove, and the outer shell has a corresponding groove for matching.

[0014] Beneficial effects: This utility model of an intelligent ignition pipe has a hole on the radial side of the flue near the mouthpiece, and an air negative pressure sensor microphone is installed. The microphone is electrically connected to trigger a high-voltage igniter, so that when negative pressure is generated during inhalation, a high-voltage arc is generated by the high-voltage needle to ignite the tobacco. It also has a vent cover that allows air to enter through the vent hole during use. When there is no inhalation, it forms a cover that blocks a large amount of air from entering the ceramic tobacco cup, causing the tobacco to extinguish and stop burning. This reduces tobacco waste and the generation of large amounts of smoke. The tobacco automatically extinguishes when not in use, improving safety. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0020] like Figure 1-3 The illustrated intelligent ignition pipe includes a smoke chamber 1 comprising a shell 11, a vent cover 12, and a ceramic tobacco cup 2 disposed within the shell 11; a pipe rod 3 having a flue connecting rod 31 with one end connected to the ceramic tobacco cup 2 and the other end connected to a mouthpiece 4; an air negative pressure sensor 5 disposed in a radial opening 32 on the side of the flue connecting rod 31 near the mouthpiece 4; and an electric ignition device comprising a high-voltage igniter 61 and a high-voltage needle 62 disposed on the ceramic tobacco cup 2.

[0021] As a further feature of the above solution, the electric ignition device also includes a PCB board 64, an indicator light 66, a switch button 65, and a battery pack 63. The negative air pressure sensor 5 is electrically connected to the PCB board 64, and one end of the indicator light 66 and the switch button 65 extends out of the smoke rod 3.

[0022] As a further provision of the above solution, the outer shell 11 is also provided with a pressing cover 16 that is movable relative to the outer shell 11 and a cigarette ash lifting rod 17. One end of the cigarette ash lifting rod 17 is fixed to the pressing cover 16, and the other end is located at the bottom of the ceramic cigarette cup 2. The pressing cover 16 is also provided with a return spring 18, which is used to drive the pressing cover 16 to extend outward from the outer shell 11 to reset. The end of the pressing cover 16 located in the inner cavity of the outer shell 11 is also provided with a limiting flange 19 that restricts its disengagement relative to the outer shell 11.

[0023] As described above, in this embodiment, after the pipe has been used, first remove the vent cover 12, then press the pressing cover 16 upwards. After pressing, the ash-flicker rod 17 can be pushed upwards to push the waste ash in the ceramic tobacco cup 2 out of the pipe. It is worth noting that the outer diameter of the part of the ceramic tobacco cup 2, which is not shown in the figure, including the ash-flicker rod 17, matches the inner diameter of the ceramic tobacco cup 2. When pushing out the ash, it can scrape off the inner wall of the ceramic tobacco cup 2. Secondly, a filter component is provided between the smoke holes at the bottom of the ceramic tobacco cup 2 to prevent tobacco and ash from entering the flue and causing blockage.

[0024] As a further feature of the above solution, the vent cover 12 is made of silicone material and has a plurality of vent holes 13. The opening portion of the vent cover 12 is provided with an inner constriction arc groove 14, and the outer shell 11 is provided with a corresponding groove 15 for matching.

[0025] This embodiment of the intelligent ignition pipe reference Figure 1The device shown consists of two parts: a smoke chamber 1 and a pipe 3. The smoke chamber 1 includes a shell 11, an upper fixing member 21 and a lower fixing member 22 for the tobacco cup, and a ceramic tobacco cup 2 fixedly installed inside the shell 11 by the upper fixing member 21 and the lower fixing member 22. The ceramic tobacco cup 2 is used to hold tobacco in the intelligent ignition pipe product of this solution. The bottom of the ceramic tobacco cup 2 is provided with an air hole that connects to the inner flue of the flue connecting rod 31 of the pipe 3. The user can use it through the mouthpiece 4 connected to the other end of the pipe 3.

[0026] Further in the design of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the flue connecting rod 31 has a radially small-diameter air hole, and an air negative pressure sensor 5 is set at the small hole. The air negative pressure sensor 5 is set close to the mouthpiece 4. Its function is that when the user inhales through the mouthpiece 4 (during use), the air inhalation causes a negative pressure in the flue of the flue connecting rod 31, triggering the air negative pressure sensor 5 to generate a feedback signal. The signal is fed back to the PCB board 64, and the PCB board 64 controls the high-voltage igniter 61 to work. The high-voltage needle 62 located at the upper end of the ceramic cigarette cup 2 and facing the inside of the ceramic cigarette cup 2 forms a high-voltage arc to ignite the tobacco in the ceramic cigarette cup 2, achieving the effect of automatic ignition during use.

[0027] Furthermore, the solution in this embodiment also includes a switch button 65, which is electrically connected to the PCB board 64. The user can also activate the high-voltage igniter 61 by pressing the switch button 65 to ignite the igniter, achieving intelligent control that allows for active ignition or automatic ignition by drawing in air at any time.

[0028] Furthermore, in the smoke chamber 1 of this embodiment, the outer shell 11 is covered by a groove 15 and an inner constricted arc groove 14 of a vent cover 12 made of silicone material, which in turn seals the ceramic smoke cup 2. It is worth noting that the vent holes 13 on the vent cover 12 are insufficient to supply oxygen to the tobacco when the user is not inhaling. Therefore, when the user is no longer inhaling, the tobacco burning in the ceramic smoke cup 2 will slowly extinguish due to insufficient oxygen supply. That is, the tobacco automatically extinguishes when not in use. Firstly, it prevents a large amount of air from entering, so that the user can reduce the amount of tobacco burning when not in use, thus saving tobacco. Secondly, it avoids the danger of continuously burning tobacco when not in use and accidentally pouring out the glowing tobacco. Thirdly, this structure covers the ceramic smoke cup 2, reducing the smoke during the tobacco burning process.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 3The intelligent ignition pipe shown in this embodiment also has a pressing cover 16 on the outer shell 11. The pressing cover 16 is movable relative to the outer shell 11 and is prevented from detaching by a limiting folded edge 19. A cigarette ash lifting rod 17 is connected to the pressing cover 16. When pressed, the cigarette ash lifting rod 17 located in the ceramic cigarette cup 2 moves upward to push the cigarette ash out of the inner hole of the ceramic cigarette cup 2 for easy cleaning. A reset spring 18 is provided so that the pressing cover 16 and the cigarette ash lifting rod 17 can be reset after the pressing is released, making room for the next tobacco feeding.

[0030] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of this utility model and its equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
