Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of atomization technology, and in particular to aerosol-generating substrates. [Background technology]

[0002] Aerosols are colloidal dispersions formed when small particles of solid or liquid are dispersed and suspended in a gaseous medium, and aerosols are absorbed by the human body through the respiratory system, providing users with a new alternative means of absorption. An atomizer is a device that forms an aerosol from a stored atomizable substrate by methods such as heating or ultrasound. Atomizable substrates include tobacco oils, medical drugs, skin care lotions, etc. that contain nicotine (nicotine), and atomization of these media can provide users with an inhalable aerosol instead of conventional product forms and means of absorption.

[0003] The non-combustion heating atomization substrate is a new atomization substrate that uses a special heat source to heat the substrate (heating temperature is 500℃ or less), and when heated, various substances in the atomization substrate vaporize to generate aerosols, meeting the needs of smokers. The non-combustion heating atomization substrate does not generate open flames or smoke during the inhalation process, making it more environmentally friendly and providing users with a good experience, while reducing the generation of harmful substances caused by high-temperature decomposition during the combustion of traditional atomization substrates, thereby reducing damage to the user's body.

[0004] However, due to structural shortcomings of the atomizer, some of the aerosol generated by heating and vaporizing the conventional non-combustion heated atomization substrate cannot flow smoothly with the airflow, and as a result, the active substances such as nicotine in the non-combustion heated atomization substrate cannot be properly precipitated, which affects the further improvement of the user's usability. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In view of this, there is a need to provide an aerosol-generating substrate that can achieve the technical effect of allowing the aerosol to flow smoothly, thereby solving the problem of the aerosol not being able to flow smoothly. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In one aspect of the present invention, an aerosol-generating substrate is provided, comprising a substrate segment including a substrate body and a first coating layer circumferentially coated on the outside of the substrate body, and a confluence filtration segment connected to one axial end of the substrate segment for filtering airflow flowing out from the substrate segment, wherein the first coating layer has substrate segment air collection holes communicating with its inner and outer surfaces, and the distance from the substrate segment air collection holes to the end face of one end of the substrate segment connected to the confluence filtration segment is greater than 0 mm and less than 1 mm.

[0007] In one embodiment, the first coating layer is provided with a plurality of the substrate segment air collection holes, all of the substrate segment air collection holes being spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the substrate segment.

[0008] In one embodiment, all of the substrate segment air collection holes are non-equally spaced around the circumference of the substrate segment.

[0009] In one embodiment, the number of air collection holes in the substrate segment is 2-20.

[0010] In one embodiment, the confluence filtering segment includes a sub-confluence segment connected to one axial end of the substrate segment and having a cavity for the flow of airflow, and a sub-filter segment connected to one end of the sub-confluence segment away from the substrate segment for filtering the airflow flowing out of the cavity.

[0011] In one embodiment, the sub-junction segment is provided with at least one set of sub-junction segment air collection holes, each set of the sub-junction segment air collection holes communicating with the cavity and the external environment.

[0012] In one embodiment, the distance from the sub-junction segment air collection hole of each set to the junction filtering segment is 1 mm to 10 mm.

[0013] In one embodiment, the sub-junction segment is provided with a plurality of sets of the sub-junction segment air collection holes, the sub-junction segment air collection holes of each set being spaced apart along the axial direction of the sub-junction segment, each set of the sub-junction segment air collection holes including a plurality of the sub-junction segment air collection holes, and all of the sub-junction segment air collection holes in the same set being spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the sub-junction segment.

[0014] In one embodiment, all of the sub-junction segment air collection holes in a set are equally spaced along the circumference of the sub-junction segment.

[0015] In one embodiment, the number of the sub-junction segment air collection holes in each set is 2-20.

[0016] According to the above aerosol-generating substrate, the substrate segment air collection hole is provided at a position on the first coating layer that is less than 1 mm away from the end face of one end of the aerosol-generating substrate connected to the junction filtering segment, thereby effectively increasing the amount of intake air entering the sub-junction segment and the total ventilation rate. When the user inhales and generates negative pressure on the end face of one end of the aerosol-generating substrate away from the substrate segment, the nicotine and aroma substances generated during the heating process of the substrate body are more easily transported gradually, thus providing better inhalation consistency and effectively improving the user's usage experience. In addition, since the installation position of the substrate segment air collection hole is very close to the end face of the substrate segment, the air flow rate through the substrate body can be reduced to the maximum, so that the substrate body is in a state of minimal oxygen under negative pressure to the maximum extent, and the effective substances in the aerosol-forming substrate can be better released, and the temperature of the substrate body can be ensured to be more stable during the dynamic process of inhalation, and the amount of aerosol released can be maintained to be consistent.

[0017] The above description is only an outline of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to more clearly understand the technical solution of the present invention and to implement it in accordance with the content of the specification, as well as to more clearly understand the above and other objectives, features and advantages of the present invention, the following describes specific embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] 1 and 2, Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an aerosol-generating substrate in one embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the aerosol-generating substrate in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] One embodiment of the present invention provides an aerosol-generating substrate 100, which is a cylindrical structure with a circular cross-section, and which is insertable into a heating airway of an atomization device, and which can heat the aerosol-generating substrate 100 to generate an aerosol for inhalation by a user.

[0027] The aerosol-generating substrate 100 as a whole has a columnar structure, and the cross section of the aerosol-generating substrate 100 is circular. The aerosol-generating substrate 100 includes a substrate segment 120 and a confluent filtering segment 140 connected to each other, the confluent filtering segment 140 being connected to one axial end of the substrate segment 120, the substrate segment 120 being capable of generating an aerosol by heating with an atomizing device, and the aerosol being filtered by the confluent filtering segment 140 and then flowing out of the aerosol-generating substrate 100 for inhalation by a user. Note that the shape and dimensions of the aerosol-generating substrate 100 are not limited, and the cross section of the aerosol-generating substrate 100 may be a regular shape such as an ellipse or a rectangle, or an irregular shape.

[0028] The substrate segment 120 includes a substrate body 121 and a substrate segment coating layer, the substrate segment coating layer is coated on the outside of the substrate body 121 to form a columnar structure, the outer surface of the substrate segment coating layer forms an outer circular surface of the columnar structure, and the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the axial direction of the columnar structure may be circular. Note that the cross-sectional shape of the columnar structure described above is not limited thereto, and in some other embodiments, the cross-sectional shape may be a regular shape such as an ellipse or a rectangle, or an irregular shape.

[0029] Furthermore, the substrate body 121 may include tobacco filler, and the tobacco filler may have a regular shape, such as filament, granule, or sheet, or an irregular shape. The material forming the substrate body 121 is not limited, and the substrate body 121 may be formed from a single material, or may be formed by mixing a plurality of materials in different ratios. By further adding other substances into the substrate body 121, aerosols having different compositions or different tastes can be generated to meet different needs of users. The substrate segment covering layer is formed from a covering material such as tobacco paper, so that the substrate body 121 maintains a certain shape. The material forming the substrate segment covering layer is not limited, and in some other embodiments, the substrate segment covering layer may be formed from other materials, such as aluminum foil, to meet different needs.

[0030] 1 and 2, the confluence filtering segment 140 includes a sub-confluence segment 141 and a sub-filtration segment 143, the sub-confluence segment 141 is connected to one axial end of the substrate segment 120, and the sub-filtration segment 143 is connected to the other axial end of the sub-confluence segment 141 remote from the substrate segment 120. In this manner, the aerosol generated after the substrate segment 120 is heated flows out after passing through the confluence of the sub-confluence segment 141 and filtration of the sub-filtration segment 143.

[0031] In some embodiments, the sub-junction segment 141 includes a hollow tube 1412 and a sub-junction segment covering layer. The hollow tube 1412 is a hollow tubular structure with both ends open, and the sub-junction segment covering layer is formed of a covering material such as formed paper, and the sub-junction segment covering layer is integrally formed by covering the outer circular surface of the hollow tube 1412 along the circumferential direction. In this manner, a cavity 1414a communicating with the substrate segment 120 is formed in the sub-junction segment 141, and the aerosol flowing out from the substrate segment 120 enters the cavity 1414a and merges with the airflow in the cavity 1414a, and is further entrained in the airflow and flows into the merged filtering segment 140. In addition, the shape and structure of the sub-junction segment 141 are not limited, and the cross-section of the sub-junction segment 141 may be a circular ring, a rectangular frame, or other regular shape, or an irregular shape, and the materials forming the hollow tube 1412 and the sub-junction segment coating layer may also be set as necessary to meet different needs.

[0032] In some embodiments, the sub-filtration segment 143 includes a filtration medium 1432 and a sub-filtration segment coating layer. The sub-filtration segment coating layer is coated on the outside of the filtration medium 1432 to form a columnar structure, and the outer surface of the sub-filtration segment coating layer forms an outer circular surface of the columnar structure, and the shape of the cross section perpendicular to the axial direction of the columnar structure may be circular. Note that the shape of the cross section of the columnar structure described above is not limited thereto, and in some other embodiments, it may be a regular shape such as an ellipse or a rectangle, or an irregular shape.

[0033] Here, the filtration medium 1432 is formed of a polymeric filling material, which can filter and cool the aerosol flowing through it, and the sub-filtration segment coating layer may be formed of a coating material such as formed paper. Note that the material forming the filtration medium 1432 and the material forming the sub-filtration segment coating layer are not limited, and in other embodiments, the filtration medium 1432 and the sub-filtration segment coating layer may be formed of other materials to meet different filtration requirements.

[0034] Furthermore, the aerosol-generating substrate 100 further includes a confluent filtration segment covering layer and a connecting layer. The confluent filtration segment covering layer is made of forming paper or other covering material, and the confluent filtration segment covering layer is covered on the outer surfaces of the subconfluent segment covering layer and the sub-filtration segment covering layer to form a complete confluent filtration segment 140. The connecting layer is made of tipping paper or other covering material, and the connecting layer is covered on one end of the confluent filtration segment covering layer close to the substrate segment 120 and one end of the substrate segment covering layer close to the subconfluent segment 141 to form a complete aerosol-generating substrate 100. Note that the materials forming the confluent filtration segment covering layer and the connecting layer are not limited thereto and may be set as necessary to meet different needs.

[0035] In this way, the substrate segment 120 includes the substrate body 121 and the first coating layer 123 coated on the outside of the substrate body 121 in the circumferential direction, and the first coating layer 123 is formed by stacking a substrate segment coating layer coated on the outside of the substrate body 121 and a connection layer coated on one end of the substrate segment coating layer close to the sub-junction segment 141. The sub-junction segment 141 includes a hollow pipe 1412 and a second coating layer 1414 coated on the outer circular surface of the hollow pipe 1412 along the circumferential direction, and the second coating layer 1414 is formed by stacking a sub-junction segment coating layer coated on the outside of the hollow pipe 1412 and a junction filtration segment coating layer coated on the outside of the sub-junction segment coating layer. The sub-filtration segment 143 includes a filtration medium 1432 and a third coating layer 1434 coated on the outside of the filtration medium 1432 along the circumferential direction, and the third coating layer 1434 is formed by stacking a sub-filtration segment coating layer coated on the filtration medium 1432 and a filtration end coating layer coated on the outside of the sub-filtration segment coating layer.

[0036] Here, the first coating layer 123 is defined as a general term for a laminated structure coated on the outside of the substrate body 121, the second coating layer 1414 is defined as a general term for a laminated structure coated on the outer circular surface of the hollow tube 1412, and the third coating layer 1434 is defined as a general term for a laminated structure coated on the filtration medium 1432, and the specific structures and forming materials of the first coating layer 123, the second coating layer 1414 and the third coating layer 1434 are not limited and may be set as necessary to meet different needs.

[0037] In the present invention, the first covering layer 123 covering the outside of the substrate body 121 is provided with substrate segment air collection holes 123a communicating with its inner and outer surfaces, and the distance from the substrate segment air collection holes 123a to one end face of the substrate segment 120 connected to the junction filtration segment 140 is greater than 0 mm and less than 1 mm. Specifically, the first covering layer 123 is formed by laminating a substrate segment covering layer covering the outside of the substrate body 121 and a connecting layer covering one end of the substrate segment covering layer close to the sub-junction segment 141, so that the substrate segment air collection holes 123a penetrate the substrate segment covering layer and the connecting layer along the thickness direction.

[0038] In this way, by providing the substrate segment air collection hole 123a at a position on the first coating layer 123 where the distance to the end face of one end connected to the junction filtering segment 140 is less than 1 mm, the amount of intake air entering the sub-junction segment 141 and the total ventilation rate can be effectively increased. When the user inhales and negative pressure is generated at the end face of one end of the aerosol-generating substrate 100 away from the substrate segment 120, the nicotine and aroma substances generated during the heating process of the substrate body 121 are more easily transported gradually, so that the consistency of inhalation is better and the user's experience is effectively improved. In addition, since the installation position of the substrate segment air collection hole 123a is very close to the end face of the substrate segment 120, the air flow rate through the substrate body 121 can be reduced to the maximum, so that the substrate body 121 is in a state of minimum oxygen under negative pressure to the maximum extent, and the effective substances in the aerosol-forming substrate can be better released, and the temperature of the substrate body 121 can be ensured to be more stable during the dynamic process of inhalation, and the amount of aerosol released can be maintained to be consistent.

[0039] In some embodiments, the substrate segment 120 is provided with a plurality of substrate segment air collection holes 123a, and all of the substrate segment air collection holes 123a are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the confluence filtering segment 140. In this manner, the airflow outside the aerosol-generating substrate 100 can be diverted through each of the substrate segment air collection holes 123a and enter the substrate segment 120. In a preferred embodiment, the number of the substrate segment air collection holes 123a is 2 to 20. Note that the number of the substrate segment air collection holes 123a is not limited and may be set as necessary to meet different inhalation requirements, for example, the number of the substrate segment air collection holes 123a is 16 or 12.

[0040] In some further embodiments, depending on the airflow rates in different regions, the substrate segment air collection holes 123a are non-equally spaced along the circumferential direction of the substrate segment 120, i.e., the distance between at least some adjacent substrate segment air collection holes 123a is different from the distance between the remaining adjacent substrate segment air collection holes 123a. However, in some other embodiments, all of the substrate segment air collection holes 123a may be equally spaced along the circumferential direction of the substrate segment 120, i.e., the distance between all adjacent substrate segment air collection holes 123a is equal.

[0041] In some embodiments, the sub-junction segment 141 is provided with at least one set of sub-junction segment air collecting holes 1414b, and each set of the sub-junction segment air collecting holes 1414b communicates with the cavity 1414a and the external environment. The sub-junction segment 141 includes a hollow pipe 1412 and a second coating layer 1414 coated on the outer circular surface of the hollow pipe 1412 along the circumferential direction, and the second coating layer 1414 is formed by stacking a sub-junction segment coating layer coated on the outside of the hollow pipe 1412 and a junction filtration segment coating layer coated on the outside of the sub-junction segment coating layer, so that the sub-junction segment air collecting holes 1414b are provided to penetrate the hollow pipe 1412, the sub-junction segment coating layer, and the junction filtration segment coating layer. In this way, the airflow outside the aerosol-generating substrate 100 passes through the sub-junction segment air collection hole 1414b and enters the cavity 1414a of the sub-junction segment 141, further improving the intake volume and overall ventilation rate of the aerosol-generating substrate 100.

[0042] In some embodiments, the distance from the sub-junction segment air collection hole 1414b to the confluence filtering segment 140 is 1 mm to 10 mm. Note that the distance from the sub-junction segment air collection hole 1414b to the confluence filtering segment 140 is not limited and may be set as necessary to meet different needs.

[0043] Specifically, in some embodiments, the sub-junction segment 141 is provided with multiple sets of sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b, each set of the sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b is arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the sub-junction segment 141, each set of the sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b includes multiple sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b, all of the sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b in the same set are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the sub-junction segment 141, the distance between two adjacent sets of sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b may be the same or different, and each sub-junction segment air collection hole 1414b in the two adjacent sets of sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b may be provided in correspondence with one another in the axial direction of the sub-junction segment 141, or may be provided offset from one another.

[0044] Preferably, the sub-junction segment 141 is provided with one, two or three sets of sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b, and the number of the sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b in each set is 2 to 20. The number of sets of the sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b and the number of the sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b in each set are not limited to this, and may be set as necessary to meet different needs, and the number of the sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b in each set may be the same or different. For example, the number of the sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b in each set is 16 or 12.

[0045] Furthermore, in some embodiments, all of the sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b in the same set are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the sub-junction segment 141, i.e., the distance between two adjacent sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b is equal. In other embodiments, depending on the airflow rates of different regions, the sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b in the same set are arranged at unequal intervals along the circumferential direction of the sub-junction segment 141, i.e., the distance between at least some of the adjacent two sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b is different from the distance between the remaining two adjacent sub-junction segment air collection holes 1414b.

[0046] According to the above-mentioned aerosol-generating substrate 100, by providing the substrate segment air collection hole 123a, the distance of which to one end face of the substrate segment 120 connected to the junction filtering segment 140 is 0 mm to 1 mm, in the substrate segment 120, the intake amount and the total ventilation rate of the aerosol-generating substrate 100 can be significantly improved. Since the distance from the substrate segment air collection hole 123a to the junction filtering segment 140 is sufficiently short, the nicotine and aroma substances generated by the substrate body 121 during the heating process of the aerosol-generating substrate 100 are sufficiently precipitated and sufficiently carried by the airflow, improving the user's usability. In addition, the airflow outside the aerosol-generating substrate 1001 can further pass through the sub-junction segment air collection hole 1414b and enter the cavity 1414a of the sub-junction segment 141, thereby further improving the intake amount and the total ventilation rate of the aerosol-generating substrate 100.

[0047] The technical features of the embodiments described above can be combined in any manner, and for the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above have been described; however, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope described in this specification.

[0048] The above examples merely show some embodiments of the present application, and although the description is specific and detailed, it should not be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make some modifications and improvements that fall within the scope of the present application without departing from the idea of ​​the present application. Therefore, the scope of the patent of the present application shall be subject to the scope of the attached claims. [Explanation of symbols]
