Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of new types of tobacco products, and more particularly, relates to a smoking device capable of automatically ejecting a cigarette and performing automatic heating and a method for using the same.

BACKGROUND

[0002] The development of new types of tobacco products has entered a growth period. Numerous products have entered the tobacco market to gradually replace traditional cigarettes. Currently, heat-not-burn cigarettes provide a smoking experience similar to that of traditional cigarettes, and this smoking device uses special cigarettes for smoking. There are many such products on the market, but almost all types of such products separate the cigarette case from the smoking device. When smoking, users need to manually take a cigarette out of the cigarette case, manually put the cigarette into the smoking device to heat the cigarette for smoking, and then manually remove the cigarette butt after smoking, which requires handling the butt, several time-consuming steps, is inconvenient and interferes with an enjoyable smoking experience. In the prior art, there are cigarette cases that are capable of automatically ejecting cigarettes and smoking devices that are capable of automatically ejecting cigarette butts. However, users still need to manually put the automatically ejected cigarette into the smoking device to heat the cigarette for smoking, which is still inconvenient and interferes with an enjoyable smoking experience.

The smoking device is provided with the cigarette port 21 facing upward, and the cigarette port 21 is located on the right side of the upper side surface of the smoking device. The smoking device includes an upper cavity and a lower cavity. The upper cavity includes: the cigarette cup 12, being roughly cup-shaped and configured for placing the cigarettes 10, wherein a port of the cigarette cup corresponds to the cigarette port 21, and a hole is formed at the bottom of the cigarette cup; the cigarette cup base 22, being roughly cup-shaped and configured for placing the cigarette cup 12, wherein a vertical gap is formed on the right side wall of the cigarette cup base 22, and the outer wall of the port of the cigarette cup base 22 radially protrudes outward to form the protruding block 3, and a hole is formed at the bottom of the cigarette cup base; the push button 14, arranged in the vertical gap on the right side wall of the cigarette cup base 22 and a vertical gap formed on the right outer wall of the upper cavity, such that the external part of the push button 14 is outside the right outer wall of the upper cavity, and the internal part of the push button 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cigarette cup 12; the heating member 15, wherein the upper part of the heating member 15 is pointed, and the heating member 15 enters the cigarette cup 12 through the hole at the bottom of the cigarette cup base 22 and the hole at the bottom of the cigarette cup 12; the first spring 16, arranged vertically, such that the upper end of the first spring 16 abuts against the bottom outer wall of the cigarette cup base 22; the cigarette cavity 5, located on the left side of the cigarette cup 12 and the cigarette cup base 22, and configured for placing the cigarettes; the push plate 4, vertically arranged on the left side of the cigarette cavity 5; the second spring 7, arranged horizontally so that one end of the second spring 7 abuts against the outside of the left wall at the bottom end of the push plate 4; and the linkage block 17, being roughly in the shape of an upside-down cup and arranged in the lower part between the cigarette cavity 5 and the cigarette cup 12, wherein the third spring 19 is arranged vertically inside the cup, and the upper end of the third spring 19 abuts against the inner wall of the cup bottom of the linkage block 17. The smoking device further includes: the limiting block 13, arranged at the upper end of the vertical gap on the inner side of the right outer wall of the upper cavity; the upper cover 2, arranged on the left side of the cigarette port 21 on the upper side of the smoking device; the lead block 1, being roughly in the shape of a right-angled triangular prism and arranged in the upper part between the cigarette cavity 5 and the cigarette port 21, wherein an inclined surface of the lead block 1 faces the cigarette cup 12. The control circuit board 8 and the battery 9 are arranged in the lower cavity.

[0015] A method for using the smoking device of the present invention is described in the following paragraphs. As shown in FIG. 2, the push button 14 is pushed down to drive the cigarette cup 12 and the cigarette cup base 22 to slide down to compress the first spring 16. When the cigarette cup base 22 slides to the lower part of the cigarette cavity 5, the protruding block 3 contacts the linkage block 17 and compresses the third spring 19 to drive the linkage block 17 to move downward. When the linkage block 17 moves down to the bottom of the cigarette cavity 5, as shown in FIG. 3, the second spring 7 pushes the push plate 4 to drive the cigarette cavity 5 to move to the right, so that one cigarette in the cigarette cavity 5 is pushed to the upper part of the cigarette cup 12.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 4, the push button 14 is released, the cigarette cup 12 and the cigarette cup base 22 move upward under the action of the first spring 16 to drive the cigarette into the cigarette cup, and the cigarette cup 12 and the cigarette cup base 22 continue to move upward. At this time, the lower end of the cigarette is pierced by the pointed end of the heating member 15 and the cigarette continues to move upward. The upper end of the cigarette is ejected from the cigarette port 21 under the restriction of the lead block 1. When the cigarette cup base 22 moves up until the protruding block 3 abuts against the limiting block 13, the cigarette cup 12 and the cigarette cup base 22 stop moving. At this time, the heating member 15 starts to work to heat the cigarette, and a smoker can smoke from the upper end of the cigarette. At the same time, the third spring 19 drives the linkage block 17 to move upward to restrict other cigarettes in the cigarette cavity 5 from moving to the right.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 5, after the smoking is completed, the push button 14 is pushed up to drive the cigarette cup 12 to move up to remove the butt of the cigarette for smoking a next cigarette.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 6, the upper cover 2 is opened to add new cigarettes when the cigarettes in the cigarette cavity 5 are used up.

[0019] The above description is a preferred implementation of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and all modifications and changes to the present invention based on the concept of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the present invention.
