Heater for generating flavor and flavor generation appliance

Abstract

A flavor generation piece (12) incorporates a formed body (32) of a material containing a flavor substance. A heater (42) heats the flavor generation piece (12) without burning it, thereby generating a flavor. The heater (42) has a tank (46) mounted in a heat-insulating holder (44) to store a combustible gas. A combustion portion (52) for burning the combustible gas is disposed on the tank (46). Ignition or extinction of the combustion portion (52) is selected by a switch (58). The upper portion of the heat-insulating holder (44) forms a heat exchange duct (62) surrounding the combustion portion (52) and providing an exhaust path (64). An air pipe (74) is disposed to cross the heat exchange duct (62) transversely in the exhaust path (64). Heat exchange is performed between a fluid flowing in the exhaust path (64) and a fluid flowing in the air pipe (74). A socket (76) communicating with the air pipe (74) to detachably mount the flavor generation piece (12) is disposed on the outer side surface of the heat-insulating holder (44).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a heater for heating a flavor generating pipe for the purpose of inhaling flavor or sham smoking, and a flavor generator using the heater, and more particularly, to a Objects to be inhaled—flavor generating heaters and fragrance generators. Background technique [0002] Counterfeit smoking articles for not burning a cigarette, but for entertaining the flavor or smoke of the cigarette are well known, and various types of proposals have been made. [0003] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-232481 discloses a typical concept of existing counterfeit smoking articles. The article disclosed in this gazette uses, for example, a stick-shaped solid raw material, and heats the solid raw material with an electric heating element to generate an inhalation object such as a fragrance. [0004] Such articles using electronic heating elements have a built-in power supply, the internal structure becomes complicated, the cost is increase...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Such articles using electronic heating elements, in the case of a built-in power supply, the internal structure becomes complicated, the cost is increased, and it is difficult to repair once a failure occurs

In addition, in the case of using an external power supply, if a cord is used to connect the power supply and smoking articles, not only the places where smoking articles can be used are limited, but the cord is also a burden

On the contrary, if the structure of taking off the external power supply for use when smoking is adopted, there is a problem that the heating state of the raw material can only be maintained to the extent that the user can only smoke 1 or 2 times.

[0006] It is very difficult to adjust the on-off valve so that it can continuously release the aroma gas for such articles utilizing the pressurized aroma gas source.

That is to say, for this type, if the on-off valve adopts a simple structure, I am afraid that the fragrance gas with a certain pressure will be inhaled only 2 or 3 times, and all of it will be released.
