Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heat-not-burn cigarettes, and in particular to a smoking product and an electronic cigarette. Background Art

[0002] Products in which tobacco-containing aroma-producing materials are heated at a temperature of about 350°C instead of being burned are well known in the art. These products can be called heated smoking products. The heated smoking products have a similar appearance to traditional cigarettes. The aroma components and other substances in the aroma-producing materials are released through electrical heating or other heating methods to produce inhalable aerosols, thereby avoiding the generation of a large number of harmful components due to high-temperature pyrolysis. While smokers gain satisfaction, the harm to the human body is reduced, and the pollution of environmental smoke is also reduced.

[0003] In recent years, heated smoking products have attracted widespread attention from consumers. Typically, in such heated smoking products, volatile substances are released from the aroma-producing material through heat transfer from the heating element, and condense to form an aerosol for consumers to inhale. At the same time, most of the tobacco components of heated smoking products are concentrated in the aroma-producing material in the smoking section, resulting in a small number of puffs and a low utilization rate of tobacco raw materials.

[0028] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "disposed" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] Some implementation modes of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the smoking article 100 includes a smoking segment 101, which is mainly used to generate a large amount of aerosol to satisfy the user's suction feeling. The smoking segment 101 can be a cylinder formed by cutting the aroma-producing material sheet into a strip structure or wrinkling it, and then wrapping it with shaping paper or other wrappings. Alternatively, the smoking segment 101 can also be a long strip of aroma-producing material with a width of 0.5mm to 1.8mm and a length of 2mm to 40mm, which is randomly filled into a cylindrical cavity formed by shaping paper or other wrappings through a cigarette making machine. The aroma-producing material can contain volatile flavoring compounds of tobacco or other flavors. Preferably, the wrapping piece that wraps the aroma-producing material adopts oil-proof shaping paper, thereby ensuring the smoking effect of the smoking segment 101.

[0033] Furthermore, the length of the smoking segment 101 is 10-14 mm, and the diameter is 5-8 mm. The use of the smoking segment 101 of the above specifications ensures that the structure of the smoking segment 101 is stable and can be filled with a sufficient amount of aroma-producing material.

[0034] See also Figure 2 The smoking product 100 also includes an isolation segment 102, and the smoking segment 101 is movably connected to the isolation segment 102. Specifically, the smoking segment 101 and the isolation segment 102 are wrapped by a first wrapping paper 103 to form a first composite rod 104. When the flavor-producing material of the smoking segment 101 no longer produces flavor, the user can directly take the smoking segment 101 out of the first composite rod 104, which is convenient for subsequent secondary heating of the isolation segment 102, etc., to generate more aerosol, thereby improving the utilization rate of the smoking product 100.

[0035] Furthermore, the isolation segment 102 contains tobacco components. Specifically, the isolation segment 102 is a hollow tube made of particles containing flavoring compounds, so that the isolation segment 102 contains tobacco components. At the same time, the weight of the isolation segment 102 is controlled to ensure the structural stability of the smoking article 100.

[0036] Or the hollow tube is a tubular structure formed by stacking and winding the sheets containing the flavoring compound. Specifically, the sheets containing the flavoring compound are stacked, or the raw material containing the flavoring compound is stacked with multiple layers of cellulose paper and then the hollow tubular structure is prepared by parallel winding and spiral winding. The flavoring compound is a substance with a flavor containing tobacco components.

[0037] Furthermore, when stacked, the length of the isolation section 102 is 6-18 mm, the outer diameter is 5-8 mm, and the inner diameter is 3-4 mm. Controlling the inner and outer diameters of the isolation section 102 can control the flow effect of the aerosol and ensure the isolation effect.

[0038] Furthermore, the smoking product 100 also includes a flavoring and cooling section 105, which is used to reduce the temperature of the passing aerosol and improve the comfort of the user. The flavoring and cooling section 105 also contains tobacco components, and the sum of the tobacco components in the smoking section 101, the isolation section 102 and the flavoring and cooling section 105 accounts for 30% of the total raw material mass of the smoking product 100. The isolation section 102 is connected to the flavoring and cooling section 105. By arranging tobacco components in the isolation section 102 and the flavoring and cooling section 105, the smoking time can be increased, the user experience can be improved, and the utilization rate of the tobacco raw materials can be improved.

[0039] Furthermore, a plurality of gas flow channels 105a are provided in the aroma-adjusting and cooling section 105, and the gas flow channels 105a are provided to facilitate the flow of the aerosol and to quickly cool the aerosol. Specifically, the aroma-adjusting and cooling material is folded and wrapped to form a cylinder, and a plurality of air flow channels are formed by the folding. Among them, the aroma-adjusting and cooling material can be a material that can be composited by a degradable low-temperature phase-change polymer material and a fragrance-producing material sheet; or a material that is directly made of a fragrance-producing material sheet; or a material that is directly coated or impregnated with tobacco or other flavored volatile flavoring compounds on a degradable low-temperature phase-change polymer material. The fragrance-producing material is a substance that contains tobacco and can release fragrance and tobacco flavor.

[0040] Furthermore, the length of the fragrance adjusting and cooling section 105 is 10-20 mm, and the diameter is 5-8 mm. By controlling the length and diameter of the fragrance adjusting and cooling section 105, the cooling effect can be improved.

[0041] Furthermore, the smoking product 100 also includes a acetate segment 106, and the flavoring and cooling segment 105 is connected to the acetate segment 106. The flavoring and cooling segment 105 and the acetate segment 106 are wrapped by a second wrapping paper 107 to form a second composite rod 108. An end of the first composite rod relatively far away from the smoking segment 101 and an end of the second composite rod 108 relatively far away from the acetate segment 106 are wrapped by a third wrapping paper 109 to form the smoking product 100.

[0042] The acetate fiber segment 106 can be a filter rod made by using acetate fiber tow through a filter rod forming machine or a special filter rod made by adding particles made of tobacco extract. The length of the acetate fiber segment 106 is 5-12 mm and the diameter is 5-8 mm.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] See also Figure 3 This embodiment provides an electronic cigarette 200, which includes a heater 300 and the smoking product 100 of Embodiment 1, and the smoking section 101, the isolation section 102, and the aroma adjustment and cooling section 105 are respectively connected to the heater 300.

[0045] Specifically, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 The heater 300 includes a heater body 310, which is a hollow structure. The heater body 310 can be a cylinder, a cube or other geometric bodies, preferably a cylinder. Since the smoking article 100 is a cylindrical structure, the heater 300 adopts a cylinder, which is more conducive to the heater 300 heating the smoking article 100.

[0046] Furthermore, the heater 300 includes a first heating component 320, which is disposed in the heater body 310 and connected to the heater body 310. The isolation section 102 and the smoking section 101 are respectively connected to the first heating component 320. The first heating component 320 can heat the smoking section 101 and the isolation section 102 respectively.

[0047] Specifically, the first heating assembly 320 includes a first heating element 322 , which is disposed in the heater body 310 and connected to the heater body 310 , connected to the smoking section 101 , and connected to the isolation section 102 .

[0048] When smoking is needed, the smoking article 100 is placed in the heater body 310, and at the same time, the first heating element 322 is inserted into the middle of the smoking segment 101, and then the first heating element 322 heats the smoking segment 101, so that the smoking segment 101 generates aerosol. Then, when the smoking segment 101 can no longer generate aerosol, the smoking segment 101 is separated from the first heating element 322, and the user takes the entire smoking article 100 out of the heater body 310. Then, the smoking segment 101 is taken out separately, so that the smoking segment 101 is separated from the isolation segment 102. Then, the smoking article 100 is placed in the heater body 310 again, so that the first heating element 322 is inserted into the isolation segment 102, and the isolation segment 102 is heated to generate aerosol again.

[0049] Further, see Figure 4 The first heating element 322 includes a heating plate 325, which is disposed in the heater body 310 and connected to the heater body 310. One end of the heating plate 325 is movably connected to the smoking segment 101, and the other end of the heating plate 325 is movably connected to the switch assembly 340. When the smoking segment 101 is required to smoke, the heating plate 325 is inserted into the middle of the smoking segment 101 and heats the smoking segment 101. When the smoking segment 101 can no longer generate smoke, the smoking segment 101 is separated from the heating plate 325, and the heating plate 325 is taken out at the same time, and then the cigarette cartridge containing the smoke oil is placed in the heater body 310, and then the remaining smoking products 100 are reinserted into the heater body 310, and the cigarette cartridge is inserted into the middle of the isolation segment 102, and the cigarette cartridge is heated to generate smoke oil mist, and then the isolation segment 102 and the flavoring and cooling segment 105 are heated, so that the tobacco components in the isolation segment 102 and the flavoring and cooling segment 105 also produce fragrance, thereby achieving secondary heating.

[0050] The heater 300 includes a second heating component 330, which is arranged outside the heater body 310 and connected to the heater body 310. When the smoking segment 101 no longer generates smoke, the smoking segment 101 can be removed, and then the remaining smoking article 100 is placed in the heater body 310, and the second heating component 330 is turned on, so that the second heating component 330 heats the periphery of the isolation segment 102 and / or the flavoring and cooling segment 105, and then the tobacco components in the isolation segment 102 and / or the flavoring and cooling segment 105 also produce fragrance, thereby achieving secondary heating.

[0051] Furthermore, the heater 300 includes a switch assembly 340, which is arranged outside the heater body 310 and connected to the heater body 310. The second heating assembly 330 and the heating plate 325 are respectively connected to the switch assembly 340. By controlling the switch assembly 340, the heating order of the first heating element 322 and the second heating assembly 330 can be controlled, and then the smoking article 100 can be fully heated.

[0052] Further, the switch assembly 340 includes a two-position three-way valve, and the first heating element 322 and the first heating assembly 320 are both connected to the two-position three-way valve.

[0053] Specifically, the process of heating the smoking article 100 is as follows: when heating the smoking section 101, the smoking article 100 is placed in the heater body 310, the first heating element 322 is inserted into the middle of the smoking section 101, and then the two-position three-way valve is opened to energize the first heating element 322, and then the smoking section 101 is heated to generate aerosol. When the smoking section 101 no longer generates aerosol, the two-position three-way valve is adjusted to stop the heating of the first heating element 322. Then, the smoking article 100 is taken out, and the smoking section 101 is disassembled to separate the smoking section 101 from the isolation section 102, and then the smoking article part is placed in the heater body 310 again, and the two-position three-way valve is adjusted to heat the second heating component 330, that is, the isolation section 102 and the periphery of the flavoring and cooling section 105 are heated, and then the effect of secondary aerosol generation is achieved.

[0054] If one wants to use the cigarette cartridge for secondary aerosol production, then after the smoking section 101 no longer produces aerosol, take out the smoking product 100 from the heater body 310, remove the smoking section 101, take out the heating plate 325, put the cigarette cartridge into the heater body 310, and then put in the remaining smoking products 100 so that the cigarette cartridge is placed in the isolation section 102. The cigarette cartridge heats the isolation section 102, and then produces gas for the second time.

[0055] It should be noted that the first heating element 322 and the second heating element 330 are both electrically heated, and the power supply can be external AC power or a battery.

[0056] In summary, the present invention provides a smoking product and an electronic cigarette, which improves the utilization rate of tobacco, prolongs the puffing time, and improves the user's puffing experience by adding tobacco ingredients in the isolation section and the flavoring and cooling section. At the same time, by combining central heating and aerosol heating / peripheral heating, the utilization rate of smoking products is promoted, the smoke production is increased, and the user's puffing experience is further improved.
