SMOKING DEVICE CAPABLE OF AUTOMATICALLY EJECTING
CIGARETTE AND PERFORMING AUTOMATIC HEATING AND A
METHOD FOR USING THE SAME
TECHNICAL FIELD
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
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 present invention is provided to solve the above-mentioned problems.
SUMMARY
The present invention provides a smoking device capable of automatically
ejecting a cigarette and performing automatic heating. The smoking device of
the
present invention is combined with a cigarette case, and is convenient to use,
simple
to operate and easy to carry.

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
