BACKGROUND

The disclosure relates to a heating cup.
Conventional heating cups using magnetic induction effect to heat tobacco material include a magnetic induction coil and a container accommodating tobacco material. The magnetic induction coil is fixed on the container. The container is made of metal.

SUMMARY

The disclosure provides a heating cup, comprising a container, a metal conductor, and at least one hole; the metal conductor is inlaid in the container; the container comprises a bottom wall and the at least one hole is disposed on the bottom wall to allow air and smoke to pass through; the container is configured to accommodate a tobacco material; the metal conductor is inlaid in the container to produce heat and transfer the heat to the container whereby the tobacco material is heated and smoke is produced.
In a class of this embodiment, the container comprises glass and the metal conductor is inlaid in the glass.
In a class of this embodiment, the container comprises a gas passage separated from the metal conductor.
In a class of this embodiment, a plurality of holes is disposed on the bottom wall and each hole is in the shape of circle, triangle, quadrilateral, or polygon; the bottom wall is a network structure or a sieve structure; and each hole communicates with the gas passage.
In a class of this embodiment, the container comprises glass, ceramics, quartz, crystal, mica, jade, or a combination thereof.
In a class of this embodiment, the shape of the container comprises cylinder, square, S-shape, and L-shape.
In a class of this embodiment, the heating cup is used in combination with a smoke filter; when in use, the smoke enters the smoke filter, is filtered by water therein, and flows to an outlet of the smoke filter for user's inhaling.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

To further illustrate, embodiments detailing a heating cup are described below. It should be noted that the following embodiments are intended to describe and not to limit the disclosure.
Tobacco materials refer to tobacco tar, tobacco paste, tobacco leaf and other materials used to produce smoke.
Optionally, the heating cup 1 of the disclosure is made of metal material, or part of the heating cup is made of metal material, or the heating cup is made of glass, ceramics, quartz, crystal, mica, and jade inlaid with metal material.
In certain embodiments, the heating cup is a one-piece glass structure and can be optionally used in combination with a smoke filter.
As shown in FIGS. 1-2, the heating cup comprises a container 1, a metal conductor 2, and a plurality of holes 3; the metal conductor is inlaid in the container 1. The container comprises a bottom wall and the plurality of holes 3 is disposed on the bottom wall to allow air and smoke to pass through. The container is configured to accommodate a tobacco material. The metal conductor is inlaid in the container to produce heat and transfer the heat to the container whereby the tobacco material is heated and smoke is produced. The container is made of glass and the metal conductor is inlaid in glass. The container is just illustrative, and can be presented in other forms.
As shown in FIG. 3, the disclosure also provides a smoke filter 4 used in combination with the heating cup. The smoke filter is just illustrative, and can be presented in other forms to cooperate with the heating cup of the disclosure.
As shown in FIG. 4, when in use, the handle 5 of a high frequency heating device is disposed around the container 1 and matches the metal conductor 2. In the power-on state, the metal conductor produces heat and transfer the heat to the container whereby the tobacco material is heated and smoke is produced. The air enters the container from the top opening thereof and drives the smoke to pass through the plurality of holes 3 on the bottom wall of the container. Thereafter, the smoke enters the smoke filter, is filtered by water therein, and flows to the outlet 4-1 of the smoke filter for user's inhaling.
FIG. 5 shows a schematic diagram of the heating up according to another embodiment of the disclosure.
FIG. 6 shows an airflow direction of the heating up of the disclosure.
The following advantages are associated with the heating cup of the disclosure:
1. The heating cup is independent from a high frequency heating device and is connected to the high frequency heating device when in use, so the produced smoke does not flow to the high frequency heating device, which is environmentally friendly.
2. The container comprises glass and the metal conductor inlaid in the glass, which improves the efficiency of the heat transfer.
3. The container comprises a gas passage separated from the metal conductor. The gas passage allows air and smoke to pass through. The heating cup is multifunctional.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications.
