Description

The invention relates to the tobacco industry and the service sector, namely to devices for smoking tobacco and smoking mixtures, in particular to hookahs, which provide filtration and cooling of smoke when smoking.

Known traditional construction of a hookah (See http://kalyan-club.su). Hookah consists of hermetically interconnected elements: from the top (outer body) and the shaft itself, connected to the outer body. The outer casing is hermetically installed on the flask, from which the smoke for the smoker is removed by means of a hose. The hookah has an exhaust ball valve to remove excess smoke. Usually a hookah is equipped with a protective saucer, protective cap and coal tongs.

Known hookah, including a flask with liquid, the upper part in the form of a shaft installed in a flask, a cup for tobacco, a flexible hose with a mouthpiece, characterized in that it additionally contains a smoke cooler made in the form of a detachable tubular container, built into the hose along the path of movement of the tobacco smoke and filled with bags with hermetically sealed ice (RU No. 111400, publ. 20.12.2011).

Known hookah, consisting of a vessel with a liquid, connected to the smoking bowl by a system of shafts, consisting of a main shaft, the lower edge of which is maximally immersed in the cavity of the flask and serves as a mount for the diffuser, and the upper edge of the shaft is a mount for a saucer, draft shaft, the lower edge of which immersed in the cavity of the flask and has an oblique cut, and the upper edge serves as a fastener for a swivel mechanism with a hose, a purge shaft, characterized in that the lower, short edge of the purge shaft is immersed in the cavity of the flask, and the long one is a fastener for a valve containing a valve cover, a sealing ring and guide paws. (RU No. 187295, publ. 28.02.2019).

The closest technical solution is a hookah station containing a vessel, a system of shafts, valves and hoses, and the vessel consists of at least two sealed sections, and each section is equipped with a direct-acting valve (WO 2020039221, publ. 27.02.2020).

A common disadvantage is that these hookahs cannot be smoked by two or more people at the same time, especially since the construction of these hookahs does not allow smoking several independent hookahs at the same time

The technical result consists in the fact that two or more people can smoke a hookah at the same time, including possibly both smoking several independent hookahs located in one structure, and combining (mixing) these hookahs into one, if necessary. Neither one nor the other previously seemed possible, not to be confused with hookahs with one shaft and several pipes, the essential difference lies in the presence of several shafts and the movement of air.

The technical result is achieved by the proposed hookah station containing a vessel, a system of mines, valves and hoses, and the vessel consists of at least two sealed sections, and each section is equipped with a direct-acting valve, characterized in that the hookah station is equipped with at least three direct-acting valves , and each section is equipped with a check valve and is connected to the adjacent section by means of a direct-acting valve installed at the border of the sections, in turn, each direct-acting valve is a U-shaped pipeline with a cross-section varying along its entire length, consisting of a main shaft, a purge shaft , thrust shafts, auxiliary shafts and corresponding shaft seals.

The technical result is achieved due to several factors, the main one being the special structure of the valve, the principle of which is the interaction of such physical forces as pressure and gravity. Also, an important feature is the division of the structure into several sealed, but interconnected sections.

The proposed invention is illustrated by drawings, in which are presented in Fig. 1 - a vessel with installed valves and shafts, Fig. 2 - a valve of direct action, in Fig. 3 - check valve

Designations adopted in the drawings:

Hookah includes vessel 1, which is a container of any shape. In the presented cases, the vessel is rectangular. Vessel 1 consists of two or more sections 2, hermetically separated from each other by a partition 3 and connected by a direct-acting valve 4.

Each section includes a direct-acting valve 4, a check valve 5. Depending on the number of sections, the design of the station implies the presence of three or more valves. 4 direct-acting valves installed in each section and are identical to each other.

The direct-acting valve 4 is a U-shaped pipeline with a cross-section varying along its entire length, consisting of a main shaft 6, a purge shaft 7, a draft shaft 8, auxiliary shafts 9 and the corresponding shaft seals 10.

The hookah station works as follows.

To explain the work, an example of a model with two sections (Fig. 1) - left and right is taken. This model is designed for simultaneous use by 1 to 3 people and includes a left-hand valve 4 direct acting, right-hand valve 4 direct acting. The pipes for smoking are located at the ends of the main shaft 6. The left and right valves 4 ensure the separate functioning of the respective sections, while the central valve 4 is responsible for their interaction.

To further explain the work, let us consider in turn the movement of air in all the constituent elements of the hookah station during the implementation of two processes - draft (tightening) and reverse draft (blowing).

When pulling through the hose (not shown) of the valve 4 located in the left section, the shaft seal 10 rises under pressure, allowing air to pass into the main shaft 6 and then into the smoking hose.

When pulling through the hose of the right section, absolutely similar processes are involved, the shaft seal 9 rises under pressure, the air passes into the main shaft 6, and then into the smoking hose.

Air from one section does not enter the other section due to the negative pressure on the seal of the shaft 10 of the thrust of the valve 4 connecting the two sections.

The central valve 4 is similar in design to the right 4 and left 4 valves, with the only difference that all of its parts, except for the main shaft of the central valve 4 of direct action, are in different sections. When the thrust is carried out through the central hose, air enters the shafts of the thrust 8 of the central valve 4 from the left and right sections evenly. Under the force of pressure, the seal of the shaft 10 rises, then the air coming from the two sections mixes in the main shaft 6 of the central valve 4 and passes into the smoking hose. The consequence of this effect for the consumer is the mixing of the two flavors of tobacco from the bowls attached to the right and left shafts.

Next, consider the air circulation with simultaneous draft through several hoses. With simultaneous tightening through the left and right hoses, the same situation is observed as with separate draft, air from one section does not enter the other due to negative pressure on the shaft seals 10.

With simultaneous pulling through the central hose and through the hoses of adjacent sections, air enters the central hose from both sections, mixing exclusively in the main shaft 6 of the central valve 4. Air, along the path of least resistance, enters the right and left hoses from the right and left sections, respectively ...

With simultaneous pulling through the central hose and through the hoses of adjacent sections, air enters the central hose from both sections, mixing exclusively in the main shaft 6 of the central valve 4. Air, along the path of least resistance, enters the right and left hoses from the right and left sections, respectively ...

The process of reverse thrust through the right hose is absolutely similar to the previous point. The seal 9 of the purge shaft 7 of the right valve 4 rises under pressure, allowing air from the right section to escape through the seal 10 of the right check valve 5 to the outside. Residual air, thanks to the weighted seal 10 of the draft shaft 8 of the central valve 4, circulates, passing through the light seal 10 of the auxiliary shaft.

The process of reverse thrust through the right hose is absolutely similar to the previous point.

When blowing through the center, left and right hoses at the same time, all the rules described above are observed. The air comes out exclusively through the check valves 5, the residual air circulates through the auxiliary ducts 9 of the left valve 4, the auxiliary ducts 9 of the central valve 4 and the auxiliary ducts 9 of the right valve 4, without getting into the hose or the duct.

When performing thrust in one section and reverse thrust in another, the tightness of the sections themselves is not disturbed. The process itself is no different from the previous examples.

The situation changes when blowing through the center valve and simultaneously pulling through the right and / or left valve.
In this case, the thrust is carried out through the left valve, the reverse thrust through the central one. In the right section, the process is the same as in the previous examples. However, in the left section, due to the vacuum formed during the draft, the seals of the shaft 10 of the left valve 4 block the outlet of the residual air, and it no longer returns to the left section, but passes into the main shaft 6 of the left valve 4, mixing with the draft.

A consequence of the combination of central blowdown and draft through the left (and / or right) valve is an increased air flow into the main shaft 6 of the left valve 4, which significantly facilitates the draft itself and increases the volume of incoming smoke.
