Abstract

A hookah includes a high-frequency heating assembly and a battery assembly connected to the high-frequency heating assembly. The high-frequency heating assembly includes a cup, a metal sheet, and a magnetic induction coil. The cup includes high-temperature resistant non-metallic material and is configured to accommodate a tobacco material. The metal sheet is fixed in the cup and the cup is disposed in the magnetic induction coil. When the magnetic induction coil is electrified, an eddy current is generated in the metal sheet whereby the metal sheet produces heat to heat the tobacco material.

Claims (18)

1. A hookah, comprising a heating assembly and a battery assembly connected to the heating assembly; wherein:

the heating assembly comprises a cup, a metal sheet, a magnetic induction coil, a base, a control panel, a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature change of the hookah, a first insulation ring, a positive electrode, and a negative electrode;

the cup comprises high-temperature resistant non-metallic material and is configured to accommodate tobacco material;

the metal sheet is fixed in the cup and the cup is disposed in the magnetic induction coil;

when the magnetic induction coil is electrified, an eddy current is generated in the metal sheet whereby the metal sheet produces heat to heat the tobacco material;

the battery assembly comprises a plurality of batteries connected in series or in parallel;

the magnetic induction coil is fixed on the base, and a lead of the magnetic induction coil runs through the base;

an output end of the control panel is soldered on the lead of the magnetic induction coil to supply power to the magnetic induction coil;

the temperature sensor is disposed on the base and below the magnetic induction coil;

the first insulation ring is disposed on the base to separate positive and negative leads of the temperature sensor;

the positive electrode is disposed in the first insulation ring and is connected to the positive lead of the temperature sensor and an input positive electrode of the control panel;

the negative electrode is disposed outside the first insulation ring and is connected to the negative lead of the temperature sensor and an input negative electrode of the control panel; and

the control panel is disposed on a screw thread of the negative electrode and fixed on the base to receive temperature information of the temperature sensor.

2. The hookah of claim 1 , wherein the cup comprises an upper cover and the upper cover comprises a plurality of through holes.

3. The hookah of claim 2 , wherein the metal sheet is in the form of mesh, cross shape, fan shape, or spiral shape.

4. The hookah of claim 3 , wherein the heating assembly further comprises a thermal insulation cylinder disposed between the cup and the magnetic induction coil to protect the magnetic induction coil.

5. The hookah of claim 4 , wherein the thermal insulation cylinder and the cup each comprise high-temperature resistant glass.

6. The hookah of claim 1 , wherein the hookah further comprises a smoke filter, a first air passage, and a second air passage; wherein the smoke filter is filled with water; the first air passage comprises a first end connected to the heating assembly and a second end submerged in the water; the second air passage comprises a first end connected to a mouthpiece and a second end disposed above the liquid level of the water; when in use, the smoke produced by the heating assembly enters the water via the first air passage, is filtered by the water, comes out of the water, enters the second air passage, and is inhaled by a user.
