3. The heating cup of claim 2, wherein the cup body comprises a gas passage separated from the metal conductor inlaid in the container.

4. The heating cup of claim 3, wherein the gas passage comprises a gap between the container and the cup body, and a cavity of the cup body.

5. The heating cup of claim 3, wherein a plurality of air vents is disposed on the side wall and each air vent is in the shape of circle, triangle, quadrilateral, or polygon; the side wall is a network structure or a sieve structure; and each air vent communicates with the gas passage.

6. The heating cup of claim 4, wherein the container and the cup body comprise glass, ceramics, quartz, crystal, mica, jade, or a combination thereof.

7. The heating cup of claim 4, wherein a shape of the cup body comprises cylinder, square, S-shape, and L-shape.

8. The heating cup of claim 1, wherein the container is separable from the cup body.

9. The heating cup of claim 1, wherein the heating cup is used in combination with a high frequency heating device; when in use, the high frequency heating device is disposed on the cup body; 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.

10. The heating cup of claim 1, wherein 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

[0021] 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.

[0022] Tobacco materials refer to tobacco tar, tobacco paste, tobacco leaf and other materials used to produce smoke.

[0023] 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.

[0024] In certain embodiments, the heating cup is a one-piece glass structure and can be optionally used in combination with a smoke filter.

[0025] As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the heating cup comprises a container 1, an air vent 2, a metal conductor 3, and a cup body 4. The metal conductor is inlaid in the container 1. The container is configured to accommodate a tobacco material. The metal conductor 3 is configured to produce heat and transfer the heat to the container 1 whereby the tobacco material is heated and smoke is produced. The container is made of glass and the metal conductor is inlaid in the glass. The container 1 comprises a side wall and the air vent 2 is disposed on the side wall to allow air and smoke to pass through. The container is disposed in the cup body 4. The cup body 4 is FIGS. 1-3 is just illustrative, and can be presented in other forms.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 4, the disclosure also provides a smoke filter 5 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.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 5, when in use, a high frequency heating device 6 is disposed on the cup body 4 and matches the metal conductor 3. In the power-on state, the metal conductor produces heat and transfer the heat to the container 1 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 air vent 2 on the side wall of the container. Thereafter, the smoke enters the smoke filter 5, is filtered by water therein, and flows to the outlet 5-1 of the smoke filter for user's inhaling.

[0028] FIG. 6 shows a schematic diagram of the heating cup according to another embodiment of the disclosure.

[0029] FIG. 7 shows an airflow direction of the heating cup of the disclosure.

[0030] The following advantages are associated with the heating cup of the disclosure:

[0031] 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.

[0032] 2. The container comprises glass and the metal conductor is inlaid in the glass, which improves the efficiency of the heat transfer.

[0033] 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.

[0034] 4. The container is disposed in the cup body and is freely taken out of the cup body, which is conducive to the replacement and cleaning of the container.

[0035] 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.
