[0003] There are many technical defects in traditional cigarettes and electronic cigarette products currently on the market, as follows:

[0004] Traditional cigarettes produce a large amount of harmful substances during the combustion process, such as tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide. These substances pose a serious threat to human health. Long-term smoking can easily lead to various respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

[0005] Although e-cigarettes reduce some harmful substances compared to traditional cigarettes, their e-liquid still contains a certain amount of nicotine. In addition, the taste and experience of e-cigarette products are quite different from those of traditional cigarettes, making it difficult to fully meet the needs of consumers.

[0006] Furthermore, cigarettes and e-cigarettes currently on the market are relatively simple in packaging and usage, lacking personalization and innovation, making them difficult to attract the attention of young consumers. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a novel, healthy, environmentally friendly, and personalized tobacco substitute to meet the diverse needs of domestic and international markets.

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present application, a method for preparing a compound herbal paper blank tube comprises the following steps:

[0034] Choose Chinese herbal medicines that are both medicinal and edible as the main raw materials;

[0035] Select other formulations of papermaking materials;

[0036] Processing the above-mentioned Chinese herbal raw materials and papermaking materials into compound herbal paper;

[0037] Based on the above compound herbal paper, the compound herbal paper is rolled into an empty tube.

[0038] This embodiment uses medicinal and edible plants as the main raw materials of the herbal compound, combines the compatible raw materials of various traditional Chinese medicine herbal compounds with papermaking materials, and produces paper with different properties; and uses the paper as the basis to produce paper tubes, which are adapted to the production process of the manufactured products, and the relevant production technology is mature, the process is simple, and the production cost is low, which can achieve product diversification.

[0039] In determining and selecting the aforementioned Chinese herbal raw materials that are both medicinal and edible, the following principles are followed based on the compatibility of the Chinese herbal medicines: "Monarch, Minister, Assistant, and Envoy." Specifically, the raw materials can be selected based on the various compatibility of the ingredients in the Chinese herbal medicine compound, with the raw materials primarily being selected from Chinese medicinal and edible materials that are approved for medicinal and edible use, and materials that do not change their medicinal properties after burning.

[0040] The paper made primarily from the aforementioned herbal compound is manufactured by first drying all the ingredients of the compound, including the papermaking materials, and then finely grinding them. These ingredients are then mixed evenly with the compound herbal ingredients, and used as the two raw materials for paper production. This ensures the minimum flash point of the raw materials, ensuring maximum burnout during use, maximizing the release of the original medicinal properties, and minimizing smoke and pH. Based on the principles of airflow, the product's exterior is constructed to resemble a breathable paper envelope, while the interior is constructed to resemble a honeycomb with adjustable density and a three-dimensional mesh structure with continuous air-permeable gaps. This allows the manufactured paper and its products to achieve controllable flash point, burning time, air permeability, and smoke.

[0041] Among them, the above-mentioned selection of Chinese herbal raw materials with medicinal and edible properties includes: raw material preparation, mainly selecting the main raw materials for manufacturing the compound incense with Chinese herbal materials with medicinal and edible properties.

[0042] Furthermore, preferably, according to the compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine, the following medicinal materials are selected for preparation: agarwood, golden moxa, moxa, tangerine peel (dried tangerine peel), sandalwood, clove, mint, patchouli, astragalus, polygonatum, kudzu root, poria, honeysuckle, salt cypress, cassia twig, and angelica dahurica.

[0043] Then further determine the ratio of the above raw materials:

[0044] Combining the pharmacology and combustion characteristics of traditional moxibustion and incense with modern process requirements, strictly adhering to the principle of "monarch, minister, assistant, and envoy", and taking into account both efficacy synergy and safety, three sets of professional compatibility plans have been designed as follows (Note: Traditional related formula products must be accurately formulated and produced based on the actual effects of clinical trials and the results of scientific instrument testing, in accordance with modern domestic and international medical standards for the production of herbal cigarette products and smoking cessation aids):

[0045] Plan 1 (Warming the meridians and unblocking the collaterals):

[0046] Main medicine: Golden moxa 40%;

[0047] Assistant medicine: cinnamon twig 15% + agarwood 10%;

[0048] Adjuvant: Chuanxiong 8% + Angelica dahurica 8% + Fructus Aurantii Immaturus 6%;

[0049] Adjuvant: Clove 5% + Salt Achyranthes 5%.

[0050] Function: It can eliminate chronic cold diseases such as joint pain, uterine cold and dysmenorrhea, and the burning temperature is stable at 550-650℃.

[0051] Option 2 (dampness-removing and cold-dispelling type):

[0052] Main medicine: Atractylodes lancea 20% + common moxa 30%;

[0053] Assistant drugs: Stephania tetrandra 15% + Patchouli 12%;

[0054] Auxiliary drugs: Angelica dahurica 10% + dried tangerine peel 8% + soapberry thorn 5%; guiding drug: costus root 5%.

[0055] Function: It is used to treat edema, soreness and numbness. The smoke is light and spicy, and it smolders at a low temperature (400-500℃) to reduce irritation.

[0056] Plan 3 (Qi and Blood Dual Regulation):

[0057] Main drug: Dipsacus root 25% + moxa 30%;

[0058] Assistant medicine: Angelica 15% + Myrrh 10%;

[0059] Auxiliary drugs: Polygonatum 12% + Cinnamon Twig 8%; Guiding drug: Asarum 3%.

[0060] Function: Repairs pain caused by strain, weakness after surgery, leaves little residue after burning, and requires temperature control to prevent the release of toxicity from asarum.

[0061] In this embodiment, the other formulations for selecting papermaking materials mentioned above at least include: bamboo fiber, cotton fiber, and wormwood ash.

[0062] Furthermore, the above-mentioned papermaking material formula is designed in combination with combustion performance, pharmacological synergy and production practicality as follows: Among them, a three-layer composite structure is preferably adopted, specifically including: a core medicinal layer, a synergistic transdermal layer and a kidney-warming and strengthening layer.

[0063] For the core medicinal layer (middle layer, accounting for 60%), the following combination is preferably adopted: monarch drug: golden moxa 30% + moxa 20%; ministerial drug: cinnamon twig 12% + atractylodes 10%; adjuvant drug: angelica 8% + patchouli 7%; guiding drug: agarwood 5% + costus root 5%.

[0064] For the synergistic transdermal layer (inner layer, skin-facing side, accounting for 25%), the following formula is preferably used: 15% of Chuanxiong, 10% of stir-fried Citrus aurantium with bran, and carrier: cotton fiber.

[0065] The following formula is preferably used for the warming kidney and strengthening body layer (outer layer, accounting for 15%): 8% salt cyperus rotundus, 7% dipsacus root, and carrier: bamboo fiber + plant ash.

[0066] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bamboo fiber and cotton fiber used in the above-mentioned papermaking material are processed as follows: the bamboo / cotton fiber is boiled with alkali of mugwort ash (pH 9.5-10.5) to improve the binding strength and combustion uniformity; the medicinal powder is ground to 100 mesh and dried at a low temperature of 80°C to retain the volatile components; a composite structure design is used, and three layers of wet pressing (0.5MPa, 60°C) are used.

[0067] This embodiment utilizes traditional Chinese medicine techniques, modern TCM technologies, and papermaking techniques to develop a combination of Chinese medicinal materials and a papermaking formula suitable for producing paper containing herbal compounds. This technical solution, based on the dual needs of papermaking technology and the efficacy of herbal compatibility, combines bamboo fiber and cotton fiber substrates with Chinese herbal medicines. Combined with combustion performance, pharmacological synergy, and production practicality, it can produce high-performance herbal compound paper, herbal cigarettes, and smoking cessation aids.

[0068] The above-mentioned processing of the above-mentioned Chinese herbal raw materials and papermaking materials into compound herbal paper includes: classifying and processing the Chinese herbal raw materials and papermaking materials, further including fermentation treatment, oil reduction treatment, mud removal treatment or crushing treatment of the Chinese herbal raw materials.

[0069] Preferably, the Chinese herbal medicine materials and papermaking materials are processed according to their properties:

[0070] (1) Agarwood and Atractylodes need to be pre-fermented for 24 hours (at 30°C) to soften the lignin; then they are fumigated at high temperature to extract the oil;

[0071] (2) After sandalwood, clove, Chuanxiong, cassia twig, bran-fried Citrus aurantium, asarum, Duhuo, costus root, Dipsacus asper, salted Achyranthes bidentata, Stephania tetrandra, and Angelica sinensis are desilted, a vibrating screen is used to remove sediment with an aperture of ≤0.5 mm.

[0072] (3) According to the papermaking technology: fried Citrus aurantium, cinnamon twig, salt Eucommia ulmoides, Dipsacus asper, salt Achyranthes bidentata, Stephania tetrandra, bamboo fiber, cotton fiber, and Artemisia argyi ash need to go through the degumming process.

[0073] (4) Based on the temperature of the single-cylinder papermaking machine:

[0074] Inside the dryer, when the steam pressure reaches 2 atmospheres, the internal temperature is approximately 110°C. On the outer surface of the dryer, due to heat conduction losses, the actual temperature drops to 95°C, creating a temperature difference between inside and outside. Low-temperature drying is preferred for all solid raw materials, with a temperature controlled at ≤85°C and a moisture content reduced to approximately 9%.

[0075] Further preferably, this embodiment uses a fine crusher to further process each compound herbal raw material: specifically, the selected solid Chinese herbal raw material varieties are crushed and ground into powder, and the material is filtered through a 120-mesh filter to achieve a powdered Chinese herbal medicine with a precision of 80um-100um.

[0076] The medium crusher is used to further process the Chinese medicinal materials: the selected solid Chinese herbal medicine raw materials are crushed and ground into powder, and the material is filtered through an 80-mesh filter to achieve a precision of 60um-40um powdered Chinese herbal medicine. The particles of this part of the material are relatively large.

[0077] This embodiment preferably uses a fine crusher to process papermaking materials: bamboo fiber, cotton fiber, and wormwood ash, which are special materials for papermaking, are crushed and ground into powder, and then filtered through a 120-mesh filter to obtain a powder with a precision of 100um-80um.

[0078] The following will further explain in detail the production procedures, technical requirements and raw material preparation specifications for papermaking.

[0079] About the selection of fiber raw materials:

[0080] (1) Plant fibers: bamboo, cotton, wood pulp, etc. must comply with the hygiene standards of GB / T 20811-2018, with an impurity rate of ≤0.5%.

[0081] (2) Functional addition: Antibacterial and mosquito repellent cotton fibers need to be scour to remove wax and pectin (scouring solution: caustic soda 2g / L + hydrogen peroxide 4g / L + glacial acetic acid 0.4g / L).

[0082] Regarding the control of auxiliary materials: Among them, the adhesive is ≤1.5%, and the adhesive is mainly used for fiber dispersion and anti-flocculation.

[0083] About the core process:

[0084] (1) Preprocessing stage

[0085] (2) Fiber scouring (cotton fiber only), the following steps are adopted in sequence, preferably:

[0086] ① Soda ash (NaOH) treatment (80℃, 30 minutes) → ② Hydrogen peroxide oxidation (90-100℃, 40 minutes) → ③ Glacial acetic acid neutralization (80℃, 25 minutes) → ④ Dehydration and drying.

[0087] About the blasting of bamboo fiber: the bamboo fiber is opened mechanically to 120 mesh to improve the bonding strength of the bamboo fiber.

[0088] Regarding the papermaking forming stage: the following parameter requirements, equipment and standards are preferably adopted.

[0089] Process Parameter requirements Equipment and Standards Mixing slurry Bamboo fiber 40% + cotton fiber 25% + functional additives Slurry concentration 3.5-4.5%; pH 6.5-7.5 copy Wire dewatering speed ≥100m / min Fourdrinier papermaking machine (ISO5296 standard) Pressing and drying Pressure 0.5MPa, temperature 110-130℃ Composite calender (GB / T8944)

[0090] Regarding the functional post-processing after the above papermaking forming:

[0091] Preferably, an impregnation process is adopted: the mosquito repellent and antibacterial cotton fiber is circulated and treated with a tannic acid cross-linking agent (2-4 wt%) for 30 minutes and cured at 120°C.

[0092] The microporation process includes: using microporous laser technology to create micropores of a predetermined aperture on the formed paper. Further preferably, the laser microporous technology is used to construct a three-dimensional mesh-shaped oxygen supply network system in the product structure.

[0093] In this embodiment, the manufactured herbal compound paper is applied, and laser microporous technology and equipment are used to precisely create micropores with a certain aperture (paper thickness ≥ 50GSM; air permeability: ≥ 60CU; pore diameter 0.02-0.10mm, micropore density ≥ 100 holes / cm2). The punched paper forms a grid-like hollow paper with high air permeability, lower ignition point value, and faster burning speed. By reducing the number of paper burned and the ignition point value, the amount of smoke is reduced. When the paper is rolled into a long cylindrical shape, the overall structure constructs a three-dimensional mesh oxygen supply network system.

[0094] Using a laser micro-perforation machine to perforate large areas of paper has the advantages of high efficiency and ease of operation. To avoid waste of raw materials from all the perforated paper, in this embodiment, during the production process, a combination of lamination and laser micro-perforation methods is employed, depending on actual conditions, to increase the recovery rate of the perforated paper and the amount of reused paper.

[0095] The technical principles and equipment characteristics of the laser micro-hole machine used in this embodiment will be further described in detail below.

[0096] This embodiment preferably uses non-contact vaporization processing: the laser is focused to form a high-intensity heat source, which causes the material to instantly vaporize and evaporate rather than burn, forming micropores (pore size range 0.01mm-2mm), which is particularly suitable for flexible thin materials (such as film, paper, aluminum foil).

[0097] This embodiment can achieve precise optical control: the spot diameter can be reduced to the micron / nanometer level, and the aperture, spacing and array distribution can be precisely adjusted by software to achieve high-density and equidistant hole punching (such as moxibustion sticks or incense paper).

[0098] The flexible material used in this embodiment generally requires a power of ≤200W to punch holes in order to avoid thermal damage and to cooperate with an air cooling system (compressed air / inert gas) to prevent carbonization.

[0099] The integrated equipment structure of the rewinding laser micro-hole machine in this embodiment: the rewinding laser micro-hole machine integrates the unwinding roller, the guide roller, the laser perforation station, and the winding roller to realize the "punching-rewinding" integrated production and reduce the material reversal loss.

[0100] This embodiment enables multi-laser head collaboration: For wide-format materials (such as greenhouse film), multiple laser perforation mechanisms are arranged horizontally, breaking through the spot size limitations of a single field mirror and improving processing efficiency. Automated control: Parameters (speed, power, and hole spacing) can be adjusted through programming on the control console to adapt to different material thicknesses and hole shape requirements.

[0101] Based on the above-mentioned laser microporous and film-pressed hollow paper technology, when the paper is rolled into a long cylindrical shape, a three-dimensional oxygen supply network system is constructed in the product structure. This method controls the density of the paper network structure formed after the paper is punched, and regulates the actual combustion volume (not area) of the paper by controlling the punching density and aperture size. The collaborative optimization of herbal compound paper is constructed, and significant improvements are achieved in terms of ignition point value, combustion temperature, smoke particle control and medicinal material utilization compared to traditional moxibustion sticks and incense sticks. The more stable the ignition point of the product made in this example (180-200℃), the faster the temperature rises during combustion, and the easier it is to reach a complete combustion state, the less smoke there is.
