Abstract

An automatically resettable smoking paraphernalia includes the following components: an outer upper shell, a smoking cup provided inside the outer upper shell, a pushing key, and a spring, etc., wherein the smoking cup, the spring, the outer upper shell can be detached and replaced as a whole, the smoking cup can stick out of the outer upper shell by a distance to extract and unload the cigarette, and then automatically reset. Besides, the smoking cup is hidden inside the upper outer shell, so as to prevent the exposed smoking cup with an excessively high temperature from burning users, meanwhile avoiding a risk of losing the smoking cup.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An automatically resettable smoking paraphernalia, comprising the following components:
an outer upper shell, wherein the outer upper shell is cylindrical with openings at two ends, the opening at a first end of the outer upper shell is provided with an inner flange, a side wall of the outer upper shell is provided with a pushing key sliding groove;
a smoking cup provided inside the outer upper shell, wherein an outer wall of the smoking cup is provided with an outward protruded annulus, a bottom of the smoking cup is provided with a heating element socket, the bottom of the smoking cup or a wall of the smoking cup is provided with an air inlet hole, the wall of the smoking cup is sleeved with a spring, and two ends of the spring abut between the inner flange and the outward protruded annulus;
a pushing key, wherein the pushing key comprises a pushing key annulus and a pushing key block, the pushing key annulus is engaged with the outward protruded annulus, and the pushing key block is provided inside the pushing key sliding groove;
an outer lower shell, wherein the outer lower shell is detachably connected to the outer upper shell, a heating element is provided in the outer lower shell, extending in a longitudinal direction; when the outer lower shell and the outer upper shell are assembled together, the heating element penetrates through the heating element socket into the smoking cup; the outer lower shell is further internally provided with an electronic core and a power supply switch; and
a middle frame decorating component, wherein the middle frame decorating component, the outer upper shell, and the outer lower shell are detachably connected to each other;
wherein the middle frame decorating component is cup-shaped, an inner cavity of the middle frame decorating component is a smoking cup holding cavity; an outer side wall of the middle frame decorating component is fixedly provided with a strip-shaped sheet in the longitudinal direction, an outer edge of the strip-shaped sheet has a shape matched with the pushing key sliding groove, an upper part of the strip-shaped sheet and a lower part of the strip-shaped sheet are respectively provided with a hole, the hole at the upper part of the strip-shaped sheet is a pushing key position for containing the pushing key block, the hole at the lower part of the strip-shaped sheet is a power supply switch position for containing the power supply switch.

2. The automatically resettable smoking paraphernalia according to claim 1 , wherein the pushing key sliding groove is a U-shaped notch longitudinally extending along the side wall of the outer upper shell from a second end of the outer upper shell.

3. The automatically resettable smoking paraphernalia according to claim 1 , wherein a number of the outward protruded annulus is two, the two outward protruded annuli are arranged at an interval in the longitudinal direction, an upper outward protruded annulus is configured to abut against the spring, a lower outward protruded annulus is engaged with the pushing key annulus.

4. The automatically resettable smoking paraphernalia according to claim 3 , wherein an inner wall of the outer upper shell is provided with a protruded strip protruding inward and radially, a reinforcing rib protruding outward and radially is provided between the two outward protruded annuli on the outer wall of the smoking cup, the protruded strip and the reinforcing rib are matched with each other, avoiding a rotation of the smoking cup and preventing the smoking cup from detaching along the longitudinal direction.

5. The automatically resettable smoking paraphernalia according to claim 1 , a detachable connection comprises a snap connection, a thread connection, or a pin connection.

6. The automatically resettable smoking paraphernalia according to claim 1 , wherein the outer upper shell is made of a thermal insulation material.
