Definitions

  • the invention relates to the service sector and can be used in the creation of appliances for the inhalation of a mixture of air, vapour and particles of an active substance, which comprise a liquid-containing vessel, for example smoking appliances, preferably hookahs.
  • Smoking appliances which firstly appeared in the countries of the East, known as hookahs, became extremely popular in recent years, and they are an alternative to ordinary cigarettes, particularly, among young adults.
  • Smoking appliances comprise a vessel partially filled with water or any other liquid medium. Suction through a tip creates a low air pressure in a vessel.
  • a smoke tube goes to the water level, its head part is located near an upper end, where tobacco is placed, which is heated by coal from an upper side. A mixture of air, vapour and smoke particles appears as a result of tobacco heating, then this mixture is inhaled by the smoker. It is obvious that the heat produced by combusting coal may lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, burns or, in extreme cases, even a fire.
  • hookahs As hookahs are filled manually, high-quality preparation of hookahs for the use is also not guaranteed. For this reason, hookahs, which are more common today, should only be used outdoors or in rooms with a guaranteed supply of fresh air.
  • hookahs according to the state of the art are very heavy and bulky, hookahs shall be made up of several parts, and their individual parts are inconvenient to transport. They are also difficult to clean and often do not meet hygiene standards.
  • E-hookahs are known from patent documents US4133318 published on 01/03/1979 , US010820626 published on 02/11/2020 or from the application for invention US 2012/0199572 published on 09/08/2012 , some of the above-mentioned problems can be reduced when using them, but the result is still not satisfactory enough.
  • the patented appliance for inhalation of a mixture of air, vapour and particles of an active substance is a compact device with a reservoir-like vessel to be filled with water or any other liquid, such appliance has at least one suction device, through which the user inhales a mixture of air, vapour and, in this particular case, smoke particles.

  • an upper heating element 19 ( fig.8 ) is heating of air passing through it up to the stated temperature.
  • an upper heating element 19 was provided in a complex form, for example, in the form of a stack of ceramic plates. Cold air is sucked in through at least one opening 24 in an upper ceramic plate 25 (in this example, fig.8 demonstrates two openings 24, in reality, there are several openings, and they are placed circle-wise), and then cold air passes tunnel 26 formed by plates 25 and 27. Since a middle ceramic plate 27 is in a close proximity to a thermoelectric element 28, air mass is preheated. The bend on a lower ceramic plate 29 allows to increase a preheating area by increasing the length of air path.
  • thermoelectric element 28 is placed in a camera 30 formed by plates 27 and 29, air temperature increases from 10°C to 400°C when passing through it, then heated air passes through channel 31 and enters a slot 8, located directly under an upper heating element 19. No gap is formed between these elements due to the precise adjustment of a plane of plate 28 and a slot 8, which eliminates the ingress of air bypassing this system.

  • Sector 35 is a cable channel for laying power and signal cables from a power supply unit 3 and a programmable controller 4 to an upper heating element 19. The shape and arrangement of sectors may be different, depending on the design features of this particular device for inhaling the aerosol.
  • a vessel 1 is designed for liquid, which serves as the cooling liquid filter for filtration and cooling of the aerosol.
  • the volume of liquid depends on shape and size of a vessel 1 and ranges from 10% to 80% of its total volume. In this case, an upper "water-free" volume 39 is formed in a vessel 1.

  • This valve may be made according to the principle of a ball check valve, a mushroom check valve, a cone check valve, a membrane check valve, or it may have another design that allows to implement the function of preventing water from penetrating from a vessel 1 to lower 20 and upper 19 heating elements, for example, when the device is overturned or when excess pressure is created in "water-free" volume 39 of a vessel 1, as excess pressure is capable of displacing liquid from a vessel 1 through a tube 10 to heating elements.
  • a lower part 47 of a transition section is provided (see Fig. 3 ) in order to match a radial section of a hose 6 with a sector-shaped cross-section of sector 34 of a tube 32.
  • a lower part 47 may also include a second check valve 48 ( Fig. 14 ).

  • the heated air passes along outer walls 18 of a cartridge 9 to its bottom 12, uniformly heating a medium 11 in a cartridge 9 from the side, and then heated air enters a gap between bottom of a slot 8 and bottom 12 of a cartridge 9.
  • bottom 12 of a cartridge 9 is made with a plurality of second openings 15, the heated air seeps into a cartridge 9, through the entire volume of a medium 11 that releases particles of an active substance; the heated air uniformly increases the temperature in the entire volume of a medium 11 without burning it. Then the heated air accumulates under cover 16 of a cartridge 9 capturing said particles of an active substance, from where the air is sucked into a tube 10 and, then, as described above, through a liquid filter, a hose 6 and a tip 7 gets to the user.
  • the claimed design of a vaporation module embodies an effective and safe method of heating a medium that releases an active substance, ensuring the production of a mixture of air, vapour and particles of an active substance without combustion.
  • the total cross-sectional area of a gap between walls and bottom of a slot 8 and walls and bottom of a cartridge 9 is not less than the cross-sectional area of an inhalation hose 6, which ensures easy and unimpeded inhalation of the aerosol formed by air, vapour and particles of an active substance.
  • a cartridge 9 and a slot 8 also form a gap, through which the heated air (not shown in fig.7 ) passes from a heating element to second openings 15 in external walls 18 of a cartridge 9.
  • air flows 50 pass through a medium 11 that releases particles of an active substance (for example, a tobacco or non-tobacco mixture), heating a medium and releasing the aerosol.
  • the aerosol together with air flows 50, moves to second openings 15 in side wall 49 of a protrusion 13, getting inside a protrusion 13. Since a protrusion 13 is closed from above, the aerosol can then only pass into an opening 11, from where it is sucked into a tube 10 and, then, as described above, it gets to the user through a liquid filter, a hose 6 and a tip 7.
  • a medium 11 Due to such arrangement of second openings 15 and given path of air flows 50, maximum temperature is achieved in zone 51 of a medium 11 that releases the particles of an active substance, and maximum temperature weakens away from main air flow (see Fig. 7 ), thereby allowing not to dry the entire volume of a medium 11 that releases particles of an active substance.
  • a medium 11 has a lower temperature than in zone 51.
  • the aerosol is released in zone 51, in zone 52 the aerosol is released as a medium 11 warms up. This improvement allows more rational use of a medium 11 that releases particles of an active substance, reduces the initial aromatic shock, increases the quality time of use of a medium, and reduces the amount of released harmful impurities per time unit.
  • Elimination of second openings in a bottom 12 of a cartridge 9 made it possible to reduce the ingress of liquid component of a medium 11 onto surface of a slot 8 many times over, which in turn reduces the need to clean a slot 8. Absence of second openings in a cover 16 of a cartridge 9 reduces the possibility of vaporation from a medium 11 getting onto an upper heating element 19 (not shown in Fig. 7 ).
  • Thermoelectric element 28 is controlled using commands from a programmable controller 4.
  • a controller 4 regulates all processes occurring in heating elements 19 and 20. If an emergency occurs, for example, an inhalation appliance overturns, a command is sent to heating elements 19 and 20 to disconnect them from a power supply unit 3. Together with the system of valves described above, this allows for making the safest possible device for inhaling aerosol.
  • an air exhaustion sensor (not shown in the drawing) may be installed, due to which it may be possible to quickly increase the power on a thermoelectric element 28. Due to sharp increase in the temperature of the air passing through camera 30, it becomes possible to act with a thermal shock on the environment in a cartridge 9.
  • thermoelectric element 28 Without receiving a signal from an exhaustion sensor, a thermoelectric element 28 switches to a temperature balance maintenance mode. This reduces the energy costs of a device and, as a result, increases battery life of a device. It also helps to reduce the consumption of a medium that releases particles of an active substance, since there is no burning of it, and to improve taste of the aerosol. Maximum temperature of a thermoelectric element 24 is selected for the types of specified medium for better disclosure of taste and reduction of harmful substances in the formed aerosol.
  • a novel original vaporation unit has been developed, implementing a novel, effective and safe method of heating a medium that releases an active substance.
  • Such unit ensures the production of a mixture of air, steam and particles of an active substance without combustion, as well as a novel effective and safe device for inhalation of a mixture of air, vapour and particles of an active substance without combustion using said vaporation unit.
