DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] To make the object, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a subset of the embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments that a person skilled in the art could derive without creative effort fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0021] Through an analysis of the prior art, the inventor determined that most electronic hookahs currently on the market are baking water filter devices. In these devices, the smoking chamber is typically filled with smoking material, such as tobacco, at the top and with water at the bottom. During use, glowing charcoal is placed directly on top of the tobacco to heat it and produce smoke, which is filtered through the water and finally inhaled through a draw tube. However, with currently available baking water filter devices, the heating temperature of the tobacco cannot be controlled. If the charcoal temperature is too high, the tobacco is burned, and if it is too low, smoke production is insufficient. Furthermore, the storage container is integrated with the water filter device, making daily cleaning difficult.
[0022] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention provides an evaporation pot, the evaporation pot comprising a pot body 1 and a pot lid 2. The pot body is provided with several flow openings 11 and includes a top plate 12, a side wall 13 extending around and beyond the edge of the top plate, and a cavity 14 enclosed by the top plate 12 and the side wall 13, which has an opening. The cavity 14 serves for filling with smoke material 142. The pot lid 2 is detachably attached to an end of the side wall 13 facing away from the top plate 12. The pot lid 2 covers the opening and is located on the underside of the pot body 1. The top plate 12 generates heat by heating. The heat is conducted via the side wall 13 to the pot lid 2.
[0023] In Fig. Figure 1 shows an evaporation pot according to the present invention. It comprises, in particular, a pot body and a pot lid adapted to the pot body, wherein the pot body and the pot lid form a cavity for receiving a smoke material, the pot body and the pot lid are each provided with a flow-through opening, and the pot body is made of a heat-conducting material; and wherein, when the evaporation pot is heated, the smoke material is kept warm by the pot body, and hot air flows into the smoke material through the flow-through openings.
[0024] In contrast to the prior art, in which heating is uneven and daily cleaning is difficult due to the integrated design of the container for storing the smoke device and the water filter smoke device, the embodiments of the present application provide a solution with a separate evaporation pot. Specifically, the solution comprises a pot body and a pot lid adapted to the pot body, wherein the pot body and the pot lid form a cavity for receiving smoke material, the pot body and the pot lid are each provided with a flow-through opening, and the pot body is made of a thermally conductive material, and wherein, when the evaporation pot is heated, the smoke material is kept warm by the pot body, and hot air flows into the smoke material through the flow-through openings.Because the pot body and lid form the cavity for holding the smoking material, the problem of uneven heating and the difficulty of daily cleaning due to the integrated design of the smoking device storage container and water filter smoking device are solved. This simplifies the insertion of the smoking material and the cleaning of the vaporizing pot. Since the lid is at the bottom and the pot body at the top when heating the vaporizing pot, heating the pot body allows for reverse heating of the vaporizing pot. This prevents the smoking material from coming into direct contact with the heat and effectively prevents it from burning.
[0025] The following describes in more detail an evaporation pot in this exemplary embodiment.
[0026] In the embodiments of the present application, it comprises a pot body 1 and a pot lid adapted to the pot body 1. The pot lid 2 can have the same shape as the pot body 1, the area of the pot lid 2 can also be larger than the opening area of the pot body 1, the pot lid 2 can also be detachably connected to the pot body 1, and the pot lid 2 can also be permanently connected to the pot body 1.
[0027] In a specific embodiment, the primary function of the heat in the pot body 1 is to keep the smoke material 142 warm or at a constant temperature. The pot body 1 can maintain the temperature of the smoke material 142 within a relatively stable range, thus ensuring the vaporization of the smoke material 142. The heat from a heating unit is effectively transferred to the entire pot body 1 via planar contact through the top plate 12 of the pot body 1. Specifically, this is a principle of heat conduction, in which the heating unit is attached to the top plate 12 of the pot body 1, thereby efficiently conducting the heat to the entire pot body 1 through planar contact. This heat transfer method ensures that all parts of the pot body are heated uniformly.
[0028] For example: If the surface area of the pot lid 2 is larger than the opening area of the pot body 1, locking elements are arranged on the side of the pot lid 2 facing the pot body 1, thus connecting the pot lid 2 and the pot body 1 by means of a locking connection. The material of the pot lid 2 can be identical to that of the pot body 1 or different from that of the pot body 1.
[0029] In one specific embodiment, the pot lid 2 is circular. The surface area of the pot lid 2 is slightly larger than the opening area of the pot body 1, so that it can completely cover the pot body 1.
[0030] In the embodiments of the present application, the pot body 1 and the pot lid 2 form a cavity for receiving smoke material 142. The pot body 1 can be square or circular and can be adapted according to user requirements. The shape of the pot body 1 is not limited.
[0031] In the embodiments of the present application, the pot body 1 and the pot lid 2 are each provided with flow-through openings 11. The flow-through openings 11 of the pot lid 2 are circular. Several flow-through openings 11 are provided, the flow-through openings 11 being arranged at equal intervals.
[0032] As an example, the pot body 1 comprises a top plate 12, a side wall 13 extending around and from the edge of the top plate 12, and a cavity 14 enclosed by the top plate 12 and the side wall 13, which has an opening 141. The flow openings 11 of the pot body 1 are arranged on the top plate of the pot body 1. The cavity 14 serves to store the smoke material 102. The flow openings 11 allow hot air to enter.
[0033] In one specific embodiment, the pot body 1 is made of a thermally conductive material. The material of the pot body 1 can be a thermally conductive and heat-storing material, for example, stainless steel. There are many thermally conductive and heat-storing metal materials.The following are some common examples: copper, which is an excellent thermal conductor and is frequently used in electronic heat sinks and cooling fins; aluminum, whose thermal conductivity is only slightly worse than copper, but which is lighter and less expensive and is therefore also widely used in heat sinks and other applications with high heat dissipation requirements; titanium, which, although it has lower thermal conductivity than copper and aluminum, is frequently used in aerospace and other applications requiring high strength and lightweight construction due to its low weight, high strength, and good corrosion resistance.
[0034] When the vaporization pot is heated, the heat is conducted evenly through the pot body 1 to the smoke material 142. The smoke material 142 forms gaseous substances that escape through the flow openings 11.
[0035] In the embodiments of the present application, a heat-equalizing structure is arranged in the cavity. The heat-equalizing structure comprises projections for heat transfer and recesses for air supply. The height of the projections 121 is greater than the height of the recesses 122. The projections 121 and the recesses 122 are arranged alternately.
[0036] In a specific embodiment, the projections 121 and the recesses 122 form a heat-equalizing structure to ensure that the smoke material 142 in the cavity 14 is heated more uniformly during the heating process. The uniformly heated projections 121 and recesses 122 refer to the structures of the top plate 12, which can absorb heat uniformly during the heating process. The aim is to ensure homogeneous material heating, thereby increasing processing quality and efficiency. The uniformly heated top plate 12 enables better heat transfer into the interior of the material, reduces heat loss, and increases heating efficiency. The uniform heating reduces the temperature gradient in the material, thereby reducing thermal stresses and uneven shrinkage. This improves material quality and uniformity.The uniform heat supply prevents material deformation due to local overheating, which is crucial for the sublimation of the smoking material 142. The uniformly heated protrusions 121 and recesses 122 play a significant role in the present application. They considerably improve the sublimation quality of the smoking material 142 and result in an optimized taste experience.
[0037] In the embodiments of the present application, a heat buffer plate is arranged inside the pot body 1, the shape of the heat buffer plate being adapted to the shape of the pot body 1. The heat buffer plate is arranged around the flow line 123.
[0038] In a specific embodiment, the heat buffer plate is in particular a mesh plate 3, wherein the mesh plate 3 is circular. It further comprises a flow-through pipe 123, the flow-through pipe 123 being arranged in the cavity 14 and connected to the top plate 12 of the pot body 1. The flow-through pipe 123 is preferably arranged in the center of the top plate 12, and several flow-through pipes 123 may be provided, with the ends of the flow-through pipes 123 being connected to the top plate 12. The flow-through pipe 123 is designed as a hollow cylinder and is also provided with flow-through openings 11. The heat buffer plate arranged around the flow-through pipe 123 can consist either of several individual parts or of a single continuous piece.
[0039] In the embodiments of the present application, the wall thickness of the pot body 1 is in a range of 0.4 to 3 mm; the wall thickness of the pot body 1 can be 0.4 mm, the wall thickness of the pot body 1 can be 0.6 mm, the wall thickness of the pot body 1 can be 0.8 mm, the wall thickness of the pot body 1 can be 1 mm, the wall thickness of the pot body 1 can be 1.3 mm, the wall thickness of the pot body 1 can be 1.4 mm, the wall thickness of the pot body 1 can be 1.5 mm, the wall thickness of the pot body 1 can be 1.8 mm, the wall thickness of the pot body 1 can be 2 mm, the wall thickness of the pot body 1 can be 2.5 mm, and the wall thickness of the pot body 1 can be 3 mm.
[0040] In the embodiments of the present application, the filling quantity of paste material in the pot body is 1 5 to 25 grams, wherein it may be 5 grams, 10 grams, 15 grams, 20 grams or 25 grams.
[0041] In the embodiments of the present application, the thermal conductivity of the pot body 1 lies within a range of 20 to 600 W / (mK). The thermal conductivity of the pot body 1 can be 20 W / (mK), 50 W / (mK), 100 W / (mK), 200 W / (mK), 300 W / (mK), 400 W / (mK), 500 W / (mK), and 600 W / (mK). In particular, the pot body 1 can be made of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, brass, red copper, aluminum oxide ceramic, silicon carbide, zirconium oxide, silicon nitride, sapphire, etc. The thermal conductivity of stainless steel is 16 to 25 W / (m).K), the thermal conductivity of aluminium alloy is 237 W / (mK), the thermal conductivity of brass is 70 to 183 W / (mK), the thermal conductivity of red copper is 400 W / (mK), the thermal conductivity of aluminium oxide ceramic is 30 W / (mK), the thermal conductivity of silicon carbide is 120 to 490 W / (mK), the thermal conductivity of zirconium oxide is 2 W / (mK), the thermal conductivity of silicon nitride is 17 to 25 W / (mK), and the thermal conductivity of sapphire is 132 to 200 W / (mK).
[0042] In the embodiments of the present application, an electronic water pipe is provided, wherein the electronic water pipe 1000 comprises a main unit 202 and a vaporization pot 10 as described above, the vaporization pot 10 being detachably arranged within the main unit 202. Specifically, it comprises the main unit 202, which is provided with an outlet opening through which the main unit 202 can be connected to an external container. The container contains an edible filter liquid and is provided with a suction tube for inhalation. The electronic water pipe 1000 further comprises an electric heating unit arranged on the main unit 202 and the vaporization pot 10 described above, which is detachably arranged within the main unit 202. The vaporization pot 10 serves to hold smoking material 142.The vaporization pot 10 is heated by the electric heating unit to warm the smoke material 142 and thus produce smoke. The smoke is released through the outlet opening into the container so that the user can inhale it through the suction tube.
[0043] The following refers to the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 referred. In the Fig. 1 and Fig. Figure 2 schematically illustrates the structure of a vaporization pot according to the embodiments of the present application from various perspectives. The present application provides a vaporization pot 10. The vaporization pot 10 is mounted in a smoking device, for example, an electronic hookah. The vaporization pot 10 serves to store smoking material and to generate smoke for inhalation by the user. The vaporization pot 10 provided according to the present application enables complete vaporization of the smoking material under the influence of heat, while simultaneously preventing the smoking material from being burned by overheating, thereby improving the quality of the smoke.
[0044] The present application further provides an electronic water pipe. The vaporization pot 10 is arranged inside the main unit. The vaporization pot 10 can be fixedly arranged inside the main unit; preferably, the vaporization pot 10 can also be detachably connected to the main unit.
[0045] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the evaporation pot 10 comprises a pot body 1 and a pot lid 2. The material of the pot body 1 can be a thermally conductive and heat-storing material, for example, stainless steel. The pot body 1 is provided with several flow openings 11. The pot body 1 includes a top plate 12, a side wall 13 extending around and from the edge of the top plate 12, and a cavity 14 enclosed by the top plate 12 and the side wall 13, which has an opening 141. The flow openings 11 are designed to direct air from outside the evaporation pot 10 into the cavity 14 and gas from the cavity 14 outwards from the evaporation pot 10. The top plate 12 is heated by a heating device to generate heat. The heating device is located outside the evaporation pot 10, and the heating device is arranged in the smoke device in which the evaporation pot 10 is mounted.The heating device can be, for example, a heating component such as an electric heating unit. In the present application, the smoke material is contained in the cavity 14. The pot lid 2 covers the cavity 14, thus confining the smoke material within the vaporization pot 10. Since the side wall 13 is arranged around and extending from the edge of the top plate 12, the top plate 12 transfers heat to the side wall 13 after heating, thereby heating the smoke material in contact with the side wall 13 and generating smoke. This not only increases the heated surface area of the smoke material in the cavity 14 but also prevents local overheating and combustion of the smoke material.
[0046] In a specific embodiment, the pot lid 2 is detachably attached to an end of the side wall 13 facing away from the top plate 12, and the pot lid 2 covers the opening 141. When the top plate 12 is heated and conducts the heat to the side wall 13, the side wall 13 can transfer some of the heat to the pot lid 2 to enable uniform heating of the smoking material at different positions in the cavity 14.
[0047] In a specific embodiment, see also Fig. 7, the pot lid 2 is provided with several flow openings 11 in a direction corresponding to the opening 141, in order to allow the smoke to escape from the evaporation pot 10 through the flow openings 11. The shape, the number of flow openings 11, and the distance between them are merely examples and are not to be understood as limitations. The shape, number, and distance between the flow openings 11 can be adapted to the requirements of the evaporation pot 10.
[0048] Furthermore, several locking sections 21 are spaced apart along the edge of the pot lid 2 so that the pot lid 2 can stably cover the opening 141. When the pot lid 2 covers the opening 141, the several locking sections 21 engage in the lower edge of the pot body 1 facing away from the upper plate 12. Preferably, the several locking sections 21 are distributed symmetrically along the lower edge of the pot lid 2 facing the cavity 14.
[0049] In one specific embodiment, it is explained that in the vaporizing pot 10, the heat from the heating device is conducted by heating the top plate 12 to the top plate 12, the side wall 13, and the pot lid 2 in order to heat the smoke material filled in the cavity 14 uniformly. In the present application, the smoke material is located above the pot lid 2 when the top plate 1 is heated by the heating device, while the pot body 1 is located above the smoke material. This means that when the vaporizing pot 10 is heated by the heating device, the heating device, the pot body 1, the smoke material, and the pot lid 2 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom.
[0050] The specific features of the top plate are explained in more detail below to illustrate how overheating of the smoke material near the heating device can be avoided. The following section details... Fig. 4. Since the top plate 12 is in direct contact with the heat source, it is provided with several annular projections 122 and recesses 121 to prevent overheating of the smoke material near the top plate 12, and it is provided with several flow openings 11. In particular, the recesses 121 and the projections 122 are arranged alternately. The projections 122 are parts of the top plate that extend out of the evaporation pot 10 away from the cavity 14 and are in direct contact with the heating device. Since the projections 122 are in direct contact with the heating device, the flow openings 11 are arranged in the recesses 121.The recesses 121, provided with the flow openings 11, are spaced a certain distance from the heating device to distribute the heat from the heating device evenly across the upper plate 12 and to allow sufficient airflow into the cavity 14. At the same time, the smoke material is not locally overheated by uneven air contact. In the present application, the projections 122 and the recesses 121 can be adapted to the shape of the pot body 1. For example, the projections 122 and the recesses 121 can be designed as annular structures if the pot body 1 is frustoconical overall.
[0051] In a specific embodiment, the projections 122 serve for heat transfer, while the recesses 121 serve for air supply. While the projections 122 transfer heat and the recesses 121 supply air, air can also be drawn in through the recesses 121.
[0052] For example, the arrangement of several projections 122 and recesses 121 on the upper plate 12, as well as several flow openings 11 in the upper plate 12, allows sufficient airflow into the vaporization pot 10, thereby heating the smoke material sufficiently. The vaporization pot 10 provided in the present application can also increase the contact area between the smoke material and the outside air, resulting in more uniform heating inside the smoke material.
[0053] The specific features of the vaporization pot 10 are explained in more detail below to illustrate how a further increase in the contact area between the smoke material and the outside air can be achieved. As in Fig. As shown in Figure 5, the evaporation pot 10 is also provided with a flow line 123. The flow line 123 is designed as a hollow cylinder. The flow line 123 serves to direct outside air into the cavity 14 so that it comes into contact with the smoke material, thus ensuring complete heating of the smoke material. One end of the flow line 123 is connected to the top plate 12, while the other end extends away from the top plate 12. In the present application, both the flow line 123 and the smoke material are contained together in the cavity 14, with the flow line 123 being in complete contact with the smoke material. The flow line 123 is provided with several flow openings 11 that allow contact between outside air and the smoke material.When the smoke material evaporates due to heating and produces smoke, the air entering through the flow openings 11 in the top plate 12 can come into complete contact with the interior of the smoke material via the flow openings 11 of the flow line 123. This increases the contact area between the interior of the smoke material and the outside air, which in turn improves the heating effect of the smoke material.
[0054] In a specific embodiment, the end of the flow line 123 does not protrude beyond the side wall 13 to facilitate the disassembly and cleaning process of the evaporation pot 10. Preferably, one end of the flow line 123 is centrally riveted to the top plate 12 by means of a rivet 124, thereby further increasing the contact area between the flow line 123 and the smoke material.
[0055] As an example, it was explained that the flow line 123 increases the contact area between the smoke material in the cavity 14 and the outside air, thereby improving the heating effect of the smoke material. To prevent overheating of the smoke material, the evaporation pot 10 provided in the present application also enables insulation between the top plate 12, which is in direct contact with the heat source, and the smoke material. The specific features of the evaporation pot 10 are explained in more detail below to illustrate how the insulation between the top plate 12 and the smoke material can be achieved.
[0056] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 6, the evaporation pot 10 also includes a mesh plate 3. The mesh plate 3 is located in the cavity 14 and near the top plate 12. The mesh plate 3 is made of stainless steel to conduct the heat generated by the heated top plate 12 to the smoke material. Specifically, the edge of the mesh plate 3 is in contact with the top plate 12, while a gap is formed between the other parts of the mesh plate 3 and the top plate 12. The heat absorbed by the top plate 12 is transferred via the edge of the mesh plate 3 to the mesh plate 3 itself and then to the smoke material located near the top plate 12. The mesh plate 3 is only partially in contact with the top plate 12 to prevent direct contact between the top plate 12 and the smoke material.This makes it easier to clean the pot body 1 and reduces the likelihood that the smoking material located near the top plate 12 will be heated unevenly and locally burned due to overheating of the top plate 12.
[0057] Furthermore, the mesh plate 3 has a grid-like, arcuate structure. The mesh plate 3 is provided with a mounting bore 34 for attaching it to the flow line 123. The mesh plate 3 comprises a mesh base 31, which is opposite the top plate 12, and a mesh edge 32, which extends obliquely from the base 31 towards the top plate 12. The mesh base 31 is provided with several arcuate through-holes 33. These arcuate through-holes 33 serve to increase the contact area between the smoke material and the air, thereby increasing the heating efficiency of the smoke material. The edge of the mesh sheet 3 is the edge of the mesh border 32. Since one end of the flow line 123 is riveted centrally to the top plate 12 by means of the rivet 124, the mounting hole 34 is also arranged centrally in relation to the top plate 12 in the mesh sheet 3.
[0058] In the embodiment described above, the insulation between the top plate 12 and the smoke material is achieved by arranging the mesh plate 3 in the cavity 14 near the top plate 12, thereby further reducing the risk of overheating of the smoke material. The heating behavior under different filling conditions of the smoke material is explained below using specific embodiments as examples.
[0059] Referring to Fig. Figure 8, which shows a schematic representation of a heating scenario of an evaporation pot according to the embodiments of the present application, shows the pot body 1 as a whole in a frustoconical shape. The dimension of the side wall 13 gradually increases from the top plate 12 to the bottom. In the direction of the axis parallel to the top plate 12, the cross-sectional area of the top plate 12 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the pot lid 2. While the evaporation pot 10 is heated by the heating device 20', the top plate 12 is opposite the heating device 20'. In the heating device 20' and the evaporation pot 10, the heating device 20', the top plate 12, the pot body 1, and the pot lid 2 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. In the present application, the smoke material 142 is filled into the cavity 14 in the form of a paste.If the smoke material 142 is not completely filled in the cavity 14, its vertical height from the top plate 12 is less than the distance between the top plate 12 and the pot lid 2. Therefore, the smoke material 142 can only be in contact with either the top plate 12 or the pot lid 2, while the smoke material 142 whose shape is adapted to the shape of the cavity 14 and the side wall 13 is in contact with the side wall 13. When the top plate 12 is heated by the heating device 20', the smoke material 142 whose shape is adapted to the shape of the cavity 14 is simultaneously in direct contact with both the mesh plate 3 and the side wall 13, thus ensuring complete heating.When the smoke material 142 is completely filled in the cavity 14 and the top plate 12 is heated by the heating device 20', the smoke material 142 receives heat that is simultaneously transferred by the mesh plate 3, the side wall 13 and the pot lid 2. This results in complete heating, while delaying the heating of the local smoke material near the top plate 12, thus preventing combustion.
[0060] In the embodiment described above, the heating of the vaporization pot 10 under different filling conditions of the smoke material 142 was demonstrated. The following explains how the vaporization pot 10 is assembled.
[0061] The following will be discussed Fig. Reference is made to Figure 9, which shows a schematic representation of the assembly steps of an evaporation pot according to the present application. The assembly steps of the evaporation pot 10 are as follows: First, the flow line 123 is centrally riveted to the top plate 12 by means of the rivet 124, ensuring that the flow line 123 does not protrude beyond the side wall 13 and that the several flow openings 11 are positioned in the cavity 14. Then, the mesh sheet 3 is inserted through the mounting hole 34 over the heat-conducting air line 134, so that the mesh edge 32 touches the top plate 12 and the mesh base 31 is positioned opposite and away from the top plate 12. Subsequently, the smoke material 142, adapted to the shape of the mesh sheet 3, the top plate 12 and the cavity 14, is placed on the mesh base 31, so that the mesh sheet 3 carries the smoke material 142 in the cavity 14.The pot lid 2 is then placed on the side wall 13, with the locking section 21 oriented towards the cavity 14. Finally, the locking section 21 is locked at the lower end of the side wall 13 to complete the assembly of the evaporation pot 10. Likewise, according to the present application, the disassembly steps of the evaporation pot 10 can be derived from the assembly steps of the evaporation pot 10, which facilitates the cleaning of the individual components in the evaporation pot 10.
[0062] The following will be discussed Fig. Reference is made to Figure 10, which is a sectional view of a smoke material pot according to the present application. The present application further provides a smoke material pot 100. The smoke material pot 100 comprises a vaporization pot 101 and smoke material 102. The smoke material 102 is arranged in the vaporization pot 101. The smoke material pot 100 is mounted in an electronic water pipe to provide the user with the smoke produced by the smoke material 102 for inhalation. The structure of the vaporization pot 101 corresponds in the present application to the previously described structure of the vaporization pot 10 and is therefore not described again. The smoke material 102 can be introduced fully automatically into the vaporization pot 101 by means of an automatic filling device (not shown).Specifically, the smoking material 102 is first filled into the pot body 1013, which is equipped with the mesh plate 1011 and the flow line 1012, by the automatic filling device. After the filling process with the smoking material 102 is complete, the pot lid 1014 is attached to the underside of the pot body 1013, either automatically by the filling device or manually. The smoking material pot 100 is then fully assembled. In other words, the vaporization pot 101 with its removable pot lid 1014 allows for standardization of the smoking material, thus significantly increasing the efficiency of filling the smoking material. When the smoking material 102 is used up during use of the electronic hookah, the smoking material pot 100 can be directly replaced, further enhancing user-friendliness.
[0063] The following refers to the Fig. 11 and Fig. 12 referred. The Fig. 11 and Fig. Figure 12 schematically shows a main unit of an electronic water pipe or an electronic water pipe. The present application further provides an electronic water pipe 1000. The electronic water pipe 1000 comprises a main unit 202. The main unit 202 is provided with an outlet opening. The main unit 202 can be connected via the outlet opening to an external container 300. The container 300 contains an edible filter liquid and is provided with a suction tube for inhalation. The suction tube has a mouthpiece 301 that enables the user to inhale. The electronic water pipe 1000 further comprises an electric heating unit 201 arranged in the main unit 202 and a detachably mounted vaporization pot 200 in the main unit 202. The vaporization pot 200 serves to hold smoking material 142.The vaporizing pot 200 is heated by the electric heating unit 201, which acts as a heating device, to warm the smoking material and thereby generate smoke. The smoke is released through the outlet opening into the container 300 so that the user can inhale it through the mouthpiece 301. The structure of the vaporizing pot 200 in the present application corresponds to the previously described structure of the vaporizing pot 10 and is therefore not described again. The electric heating unit 201 is provided with a heating chamber for mounting the vaporizing pot 200. When the vaporizing pot 200 is mounted in the heating chamber, the electric heating unit 201, the pot body, the smoking material, and the pot lid are arranged sequentially from top to bottom in the electronic water pipe 1000.This ensures that when the top plate 12 of the evaporation pot 200 is heated by the electric heating unit 201, the smoke material 142 is positioned above the pot lid 2 and the pot body 1 is positioned above the smoke material 142, i.e., a reverse arrangement of . Fig. 9.
[0064] In the embodiment described above, the pot lid 2 is detachably attached to the pot body 1. This facilitates easy insertion of the smoking material and cleaning of the vaporization pot 10. Since the pot lid 2 is at the bottom and the pot body 1 is at the top when the vaporization pot 10 is heated, heating the pot body 1 results in reverse heating of the vaporization pot 10. This prevents the smoking material 142 from coming into direct contact with high temperatures and thus reduces the risk of burning.
