TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cigarette substitutes, in particular
to a baked smoking device.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Dozens of cancer-causing chemicals, such as tar, are found in the smoke produced
by the burning of conventional cigarettes, and these chemicals will cause great harm
to human health. In addition, the smoke diffuses in the air to form secondhand smoke
(SHS), which will also cause harm to the health of people around after inhalation.
[0003] With the advancement of science and technology and the pursuit of people on healthy
life, a low-temperature baked smoking device appeared on the market, which heats and
bakes solid smoking substance such as tobacco to generate smoke. The heating process
is controlled in a relatively low temperature range, and the tobacco does not need
to be burned, which effectively reduces the production of harmful chemicals.
[0004] A typical low-temperature baked smoking device in the prior art includes a power
supply and a heating assembly. Conventionally, the power supply and the heating assembly
are integrally arranged and cannot be disassembled. As a result, the heating assembly
cannot be replaced separately. Besides, it is not easy to clean the inside of the

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] In order to describe the technical features, objectives and effects of the present
invention more clearly, the specific implementations of the present invention are
described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a baked smoking device in a preferred embodiment of the
present invention includes a body 1, a heating assembly 2, a sliding button 3, a power
source 4 and a control board 5.
[0028] The body 1 includes a casing. The body 1 is provided with an accommodating cavity
11, and the heating assembly 2 is inserted in the accommodating cavity 11. The heating
assembly 2 is provided with an insertion hole 221 for inserting a cigarette 6.
[0029] The sliding button 3 is mounted on the body 1 and mounted to the heating assembly
2. The sliding button 3 is cooperated with the heating assembly 2, and configured
to slide along a first stroke to push the cigarette 6 in the heating assembly 2 out
of the insertion hole 221 and to slide along a second stroke to push the heating assembly
2 out of the accommodating cavity 11.
[0030] The sliding button 3 is slided to different positions, to push out the cigarette
6 and the heating assembly 2 respectively. Therefore, the cigarette 6 can be conveniently
replaced, and the disassembly of the heating assembly 2 and a power supply assembly
such as the power source 4 of the body 1 can be conveniently implemented, which facilitates
the replacement of the heating assembly 2 and clean of the interior of the heating
assembly 2.
[0031] A side wall of the body 1 is provided with a mounting hole 12 for the sliding button
3 to slide back and forth. The sliding button 3 includes an inner sliding member 31
and an outer sliding member 32 respectively located on inner and outer sides of the
side wall of the body 1. The outer sliding member 32 extends through the mounting
hole 12 to be clamped and fixed with the inner sliding member 31. A sliding rail 13
for the sliding button 3 to slide is provided inside the body 1. In other embodiments,
the sliding button 3 may alternatively be an integrated structure that is able to
slide on the body 1.
[0032] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 9, in some embodiments, the heating assembly 2 includes a
sleeve 21, a push tube 22, a reposition member 23, a heating element 24, a protective
cover 25, a clamping seat 26, a heat insulation seat 27, a support assembly 28 and
a lock sleeve 29.
[0033] An inner hole of the push tube 22 is defined as the insertion hole 221 for inserting
the cigarette 6. The sleeve 21 is sleeved outside the push tube 22. The sliding button
3 abuts against the push tube 22, and the sliding button 3 is able to drive the push
tube 22 and the cigarette 6 to move together in the first stroke from a first position
A adjacent to an inner end of the insertion hole 221 to a second position B adjacent
to an outer end of the insertion hole 221.
[0034] The reposition member 23 is provided between the sleeve 21 and push tube 22 to provide
a force for resetting the push tube 22 to the first position A. Preferably, the reposition
member 23 is a spring sleeved outside the push tube 22, and two ends of the spring
respectively abut against the sleeve 21 and the push tube 22. The reposition member
23 can provide a force to the push tube 22 towards an inner end of the accommodating
cavity 11. When the cigarette 6 is pushed out, and the sliding button 3 is released,
the push tube 22 will move to the first position A automatically. In other embodiments,
the push tube 22 may alternatively be pushed to the first position A manually.
[0035] In order to facilitate the control of the stroke range, the sleeve 21 is provided
with a first limiting portion 211 for limiting the push tube 22 when the push tube
22 moves to the second position B. When the sliding button 3 continues to move to
a third position C adjacent to the outside of the accommodating cavity 11, the first
limiting portion 211 is able to drive the heating assembly 2 to move simultaneously
towards the outside of the accommodating cavity 11 to complete the second stroke of
the heating assembly 2.
[0036] Preferably, the first stroke and the second stroke are two continuous strokes. If
only the cigarette 6 needs to be pushed out, the push tube 22 moves to the second
position B. If the heating assembly 2 needs to be pushed out, the push tube 22 is
continuously pushed outward from the second position B to the third position C, so
that the heating assembly 2 moves towards the outside of the accommodating cavity
11. In this way, the heating assembly 2 can be removed for maintenance.
[0037] In some embodiments, the push tube 22 is provided with an abutting portion 222 that
extends laterally outwards, and a side wall of the sleeve 21 is axially provided with
a sliding groove 212. The abutting portion 222 is clamped into the sliding groove
212, and the abutting portion 222 is able to move in the sliding groove 212. The sliding
button 3 abuts against the abutting portion 222, and applies a force to the abutting
portion 222 to drive the push tube 22 to move towards the outside of the accommodating
cavity 11. The sliding button 3 may alternatively abut against a structure such as
a positioning hole on an end or a side wall of the push tube 22, to force the push
tube 22 to move outward.
[0038] Preferably, a side of the sliding groove 212 adjacent to the outside of the accommodating
cavity 11 defines the first limiting portion 211. In other embodiments, the first
limiting portion 211 may alternatively be separately provided on the sleeve 21.
[0039] Further, a second limiting portion 14 is provided on the body 1 for limiting the
sliding button 3 when the sliding button 3 drives the heating assembly 2 to move towards
the outside of the accommodating cavity 11 to the third position C. A distance between
the second position B and the third position C is not limited, as long as the heating
assembly 2 is pushed outward for a certain distance so that a user can pull the heating
assembly 2 out of the accommodating cavity 11. Of course, the sliding button 3 may
alternatively rely on the mounting hole 12 to limit a moving range thereof. When the
sliding button 3 moves to a boundary of a side of the mounting hole 12, the heating
assembly 2 is just moved to the third position C.
[0040] The heating element 24 is disposed on the heat insulation seat 27. The heating element
24 extends from the bottom of the insertion hole 221 to an outer end opening of the
insertion hole 221. The protective cover 25 is detachably sleeved on the heating element
24. When the heating assembly 2 is removed from the accommodating cavity 11, the protective
cover 25 can be removed for replacement or cleaning.
[0041] A thermal conductivity of the heat insulation seat 27 is lower than that of the heating
element 24, which can prevent the heat on the heating element 24 from being transferred
to the support assembly 28, a circuit board and a guide, etc., so as to reduce the
safety risk.
[0042] An end of the protective cover 25 towards an outer end of the insertion hole 221
is a closed pointed structure. When the cigarette 6 is inserted into the insertion
hole 221, the closed pointed structure facilitates the insertion of the protective
cover 25 into the cigarette 6, and also prevents chemicals generated when the cigarette
6 is heated from entering the protective cover 25.
[0043] Generally, the heating element 24 has a cylindrical or sheet shape. An inner surface
of the protective cover 25 may be closely fit with or spaced apart from the heating
element 24, as long as the heat can be transferred to the protective cover 25 to heat
the cigarette 6.
[0044] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the support assembly 28 includes
a first clamping member 281, a second clamping member 282 and a support sleeve 283.
The first clamping member 281 and the second clamping member 282 clamp the heat insulation
seat 27. Two sides of the first clamping member 281 and the second clamping member
282 towards each other are respectively provided with a positioning groove 2811 for
engaging the heat insulation seat 27, to facilitate positioning.
[0045] The heating element 24 extends outward into the insertion hole 221 from the heat
insulation seat 27. Preferably, an abutting wall 223 is provided at the bottom of
the insertion hole 221. The abutting wall 223 is able to abut and position an inner
end of the cigarette 6, and the abutting wall 223 is provided with a through hole
224 for the heating element 24 to extend through. The abutting wall 223 and the push
tube 22 are of an integrated structure, or alternatively be two separate components
that are relatively fixed in position.
[0046] The support sleeve 283 is sleeved outside the first clamping member 281 and the second
clamping member 282. A positioning ring 2831 is provided on an inner periphery of
one end of the support sleeve 283 adjacent to the insertion hole 221, for abutting
the first clamping member 281 and the second clamping member 282 to limit axial positions
thereof. In other embodiments, the positioning ring 2831 may alternatively be located
on an inner periphery of one end of the support sleeve 283 away from the insertion
hole 221.
[0047] Preferably, one end of the sliding groove 212 away from the accommodating cavity
11 extends to an end of the sleeve 21. The support assembly 28 is mounted into the
sleeve 21 via an end of the sleeve 21 where the sliding groove 212 is located. Meanwhile,
the abutting portion 222 is mounted into the sliding groove 212 via an open end of
the sliding groove 212. The lock sleeve 29 is connected with the end of the sleeve
21 where the sliding groove 212 is located, to lock the support assembly 28 in the
sleeve 21.
[0048] Preferably, the clamping seat 26 is located on a side of the through hole 224 opposite
to the insertion hole 221, and the clamping seat 26 is configured to be clamped and
fixed with the protective cover 25. In some embodiments, the clamping seat 26 is annular
and is sleeved on the heating element 24.
[0049] As shown in FIG. 5, an inner clamping groove 261 is provided on a side wall of an
inner periphery of the clamping seat 26, and an outer periphery of an inner end of
the protective cover 25 is provided with a retaining ring 251 that is clamped with
the inner clamping groove 261. Further, an outer periphery of the clamping seat 26
is provided with an outer clamping groove 262 that is clamped with the positioning
ring 2831 of the support sleeve 283. In this way, both the inner and outer peripheries
of the clamping seat 26 are positioned and fixed. In other embodiments, the protective
cover 25 may be clamped with only the inner or outer periphery of the clamping seat
26.
[0050] Preferably, the clamping seat 26 is made of a soft material, which is convenient
for the protective cover 25 to squeeze the clamping seat 26 and snap into the inner
clamping groove 261, and is also convenient for the clamping seat 26 to be disassembled.
When the protective cover 25 is removed, the clamping seat 26 may also be removed
simultaneously for cleaning.
[0051] An outer size of the through hole 224 is smaller than a size of the inner periphery
of the clamping seat 26, which facilitates the abutment of the clamping seat 26 and
prevents the protective cover 25 from being pulled out of the through hole 224.
[0052] Preferably, an outer periphery of the retaining ring 251 is provided with a surrounding
plate 252 extending in a direction of the outer end opening of the insertion hole
221. The surrounding plate 252 and the retaining ring 251 form a container outside
the protective cover 25, which is used to contain an impurity falling from the protective
cover 25 during use, so as to prevent contamination of other components. Preferably,
a gap is defined between an inner periphery of the through hole 224 and an outer wall
surface of the protective cover 25, so that the impurity on the protective cover 25
is able to fall from between the through hole 224 and the protective cover 25 to the
container formed by the surrounding plate 252 and the retaining ring 251.
[0053] Further, as shown in FIGS. 2, 7, and 8, the body 1 is provided with a locking structure
15 for positioning and fixing the inserted heating assembly 2. As the heating assembly
2 is fixed in position, it will not shake and loosen during use.
[0054] In some embodiments, the locking structure 15 includes a lock head 151. The lock
head 151 retractably extends from a side wall surface of the accommodating cavity
11 into the accommodating cavity 11. An outer wall surface of heating assembly 2 is
provided with a lock groove 213 for the lock head 151 to be snapped into. When the
lock head 151 is snapped into the lock groove 213, the heating assembly 2 is prevented
from leaving the accommodating cavity 11.
[0055] Preferably, an end of the lock head 151 towards the accommodating cavity 11 is tapered
or round, and a side wall surface of the lock groove 213 is an inclined surface or
an arc surface, enabling the heating assembly 2 to overcome a locking force of the
lock head 151 under the push by the sliding button 3 to let the lock head 151 be retracted,
so that the heating assembly 2 is removed from the accommodating cavity 11. In other
embodiments, when the heating assembly 2 needs to be removed from the accommodating
cavity 11, the lock head 151 may alternatively be retracted manually, so that the
lock of the lock head 151 is released.
[0056] Generally, the locking structure 15 further includes an elastic member 152 that provides
an elastic force to keep the lock head 151 extending into the accommodating cavity
11. The elastic member 152 is a spring. Further, in this embodiment, the lock groove
213 is circumferentially provided on an outer surface of the sleeve 21, so that a
circumferential position of the heating assembly 2 when mounting into the accommodating
cavity 11 can be neglected.
[0057] Understandably, the above technical features can be arbitrarily combined without
limitation.
[0058] The above described are merely the embodiments of the present invention and are not
intended to constitute a limitation to the scope of the patent of the present invention.
Any equivalent structure or process change made based on the specification and accompanying

related technical fields, should fall in the protection scope of the patent of the
present invention.
