Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional heating handles for hookahs are inconvenient for users as they require manual handling to heat tobacco materials, which can be cumbersome and inefficient.

Innovation Solution

A heating handle with a magnetic induction coil and L-shaped housing, incorporating a heat insulation cup and a container for tobacco, where the magnetic induction coil heats the metal container to produce smoke without direct user contact, and a smoke filter for vapor filtration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a conventional heating handle is used for hookah, then the heating function is achieved, but the user convenience deteriorates due to manual handling requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidmanual handling requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The heating handle performs heating operations automatically through magnetic induction without requiring manual intervention. The device self-regulates the heating process by placing the tobacco material container on the heating surface, eliminating the need for users to manually hold or operate the heating mechanism during the heating process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical handling with electromagnetic induction heating. Instead of requiring users to manually control the heating element, the system uses a magnetic induction coil to generate electromagnetic fields that induce eddy currents in the metal container, automatically generating heat without mechanical contact or manual operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Productivity

If the magnetic induction coil is exposed for heating, then the heating efficiency is improved, but the safety deteriorates due to direct user contact with hot components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheating efficiencyVSAvoiduser safety
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a heat insulation cup as an intermediary component between the magnetic induction coil and the user. This cup allows the magnetic field to pass through for efficient heating while providing thermal insulation that prevents direct contact with the hot coil, thus maintaining heating efficiency while ensuring user safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The heat insulation cup is designed as a thin-walled structure that allows electromagnetic field penetration while providing sufficient thermal insulation. The cup acts as a flexible barrier that maintains the necessary thermal protection without interfering with the magnetic induction heating process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

3Weight of moving object

If the heating handle is made compact for portability, then the ease of carrying is improved, but the heating power deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveportabilityVSAvoidheating power
Core Design Contradiction:
Weight of moving objectVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses composite material structures, particularly in the heat insulation cup and housing design, to achieve high heating power in a compact form. The composite construction allows for efficient heat generation while minimizing the overall weight and size of the heating handle, balancing portability with heating capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The solution allows for hands-free heating of tobacco materials, enhancing user convenience and environmental friendliness by isolating smoke production from the heating handle, making it easier to carry and use.

Implementation Method 1

the magnetic induction coil heats the metal container to produce smoke

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectMagnetic induction: Electromagnetic Induction

Implementation Method 2

when an alternating current is introduced to a magnetic induction coil, an alternating magnetic field will be generated. When a metal conductor is placed in the alternating magnetic field, an eddy current is produced. The eddy current makes the metal conductor heated.

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectEddy current heating: Eddy Currents

Implementation Method 3

the heating handle further comprises a heat insulation cup disposed in the magnetic induction coil to protect the magnetic induction coil

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectThermal insulation: Thermal Insulation
