Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent relates to the field of tobacco technology, and in particular to a water mist filtering smoking device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with people paying increasing attention to health, people have realized that traditional cigarettes have certain health hazards, and the impact of traditional cigarettes on health and the environment has gradually received attention from countries around the world.

[0003] It is a widely accepted consensus both domestically and internationally that smoking is harmful to health. Because harmful components in cigarette smoke, such as tar, have a certain degree of water solubility, water can be used as a filter medium to reduce tar and harm. Currently, various types of hookah devices are available on the market, which use liquid water to filter cigarette smoke. That is, when smoking a cigarette, the smoke first passes through water before being inhaled. This method of smoking allows many harmful components in the smoke to be filtered by the liquid, reducing harm to the body.

[0004] However, in this type of smoking device, the smoke is in the form of bubbles when it passes through water. Only the harmful components in the smoke on the surface of the bubbles are absorbed by the water, while a large amount of gas inside the bubbles does not come into contact with the water. Therefore, the adsorption effect is not sufficient.

[0005] Therefore, a water mist filter smoke hood that uses water mist to absorb harmful substances in smoke has emerged. The main mixing and filtration process of the water mist filter smoke hood is that the smoke airflow and the atomized water mist flow come into contact and mix with each other, filtering and absorbing some of the components in the original smoke before being inhaled by the consumer.

[0006] However, since nicotine is also soluble in water, some of it is absorbed during filtration, which affects the consumer's smoking experience to some extent. Therefore, in order to adjust the aroma of the filtered smoke, a smoke optimization solution is needed to improve the smoking experience. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to improve the taste of smoke after filtration and to provide a water mist filter smoking device and a smoke optimization method.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A water mist filtering smoking device for optimized smoke includes a smoke inlet, a water mist generating device, a mixing chamber, and a smoke outlet. The smoke inlet is connected to the mixing chamber, and smoke enters the mixing chamber from the smoke inlet. The smoke outlet is also connected to the mixing chamber. The water mist generating device is connected to the mixing chamber. The water mist generated by the water mist generating device mixes with the smoke in the mixing chamber and then flows out of the smoke outlet as mixed smoke. The water mist filtering device further includes a flavoring device disposed at the smoke outlet. The flavoring device contains a volatile flavoring substance and is configured to allow the mixed smoke from the mixing chamber to pass through and come into contact with the flavoring substance.

[0010] Furthermore, the water mist filter smoke hood also includes a mist separation device arranged at the smoke outlet for at least partially separating the smoke and water mist in the mixed smoke, and the flavoring device is arranged upstream or downstream of the mist separation device in the direction of smoke flow.

[0011] Furthermore, the fragrance adding device and the aerosol separation device are integrated into one unit.

[0012] Furthermore, the fragrance device is replaceable.

[0013] Furthermore, the flavoring substance is a fragrance or flavoring agent.

[0014] Furthermore, the flavoring substance is a gel.

[0015] Furthermore, the water mist generating device is adapted to atomize the atomizing liquid to generate water mist, wherein the atomizing liquid contains additional soluble flavoring substances.

[0016] A method for optimizing the filtration of flue gas using a water mist filtration device includes: using the water mist filtration device to perform water mist filtration on the flue gas, causing the water mist-filtered flue gas to come into contact with a flavoring substance, and outputting filtered flue gas containing the flavoring substance.

[0017] A method for optimizing the filtration of flue gas in a water mist filtration device includes: adding an atomizing liquid containing a flavoring substance to the water mist filtration device, using the atomizing liquid to perform water mist filtration on the flue gas, and outputting filtered flue gas containing the flavoring substance.

[0018] Furthermore, after filtering the flue gas with the atomizing liquid, the filtered flue gas is brought into contact with other flavoring substances, and then filtered flue gas containing all the flavoring substances is output.

[0019] A gel for use in water mist filtering smoking devices, the gel comprising the following components by weight: 1-10% glycerin; 0.1-5% carrageenan; 1-5% flavoring; 1-20% edible alcohol; and 60-96.9% water.

[0020] Furthermore, the gel comprises the following components by weight: 3% glycerin; 0.6% carrageenan; 3% flavoring; 10% edible alcohol; and 86.4% water.

[0021] A gel for use in water mist filtering smoking devices, the gel comprising the following components by weight: 1-10% propylene glycol; 1-10% carrageenan; 1-5% flavoring; 1-20% edible alcohol; and 55-96% water.

[0022] Furthermore, the gel comprises the following components by weight: 2% propylene glycol; 3.5% carrageenan; 3% fragrance; 10% edible alcohol; and 91.5% water.

[0023] The technical effects of this invention are as follows: by setting a flavoring device in the water mist filter smoking device and / or adding flavoring substances to the atomizing liquid, the flavor of the smoke filtered by water mist can be optimized. Moreover, the composition of the filtered smoke can be changed by selecting and adding various flavorings and fragrances, so that the smoke has a personalized sensory experience.

It should be noted that the drawings are merely examples of the claimed technical solutions. In the drawings, the same reference numerals represent the same or similar elements.

[0025] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of a water mist filter smoke device according to one embodiment;

[0026] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a module schematic of a water mist filter smoke hood.

[0027] The reference numerals in the attached figures are explained as follows:

[0029] 2. Water mist generating device

[0030] 3 Mixing Chamber

[0031] 4. Flue gas outlet

[0032] 5. Liquid Storage Chamber

[0034] 7. Suction nozzle

[0035] 8. Aerosol Separation Device

[0036] 9 Waste liquid collection device

[0037] 10. Fragrance Addition Device Detailed Implementation

[0038] The following detailed description of the features and advantages of the present invention is sufficient to enable those skilled in the art to understand the technical content of the present invention and to implement it accordingly. Furthermore, based on this specification, claims, and drawings, those skilled in the art can easily understand the related objectives and advantages of the present invention.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a water mist filtering smoking device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a smoke inlet 1, a water mist generating device 2, a mixing chamber 3, a smoke outlet 4, a liquid storage chamber 5, a control system 6, a mouthpiece 7, a gas mist separation device 8, a waste liquid collection device 9, and a fragrance device 10.

[0040] The smoke inlet 1 is connected to the mixing chamber 3. A filter tip of a conventional cigarette (not shown) can be inserted into the smoke inlet 1, allowing smoke from the lit cigarette to enter the mixing chamber 3. In another embodiment, the smoke at the smoke inlet 1 can be generated from tobacco shreds, tobacco leaves, tobacco sheets, and other combustible materials containing nicotine or nicotine salts. A water mist generating device 2 is connected to the mixing chamber 3, atomizing the atomizing liquid in the storage chamber 5 to generate water mist, which is then introduced into the mixing chamber 3.

[0041] The filtered smoke composition will contain a small amount of atomizing liquid. Therefore, according to the smoke optimization method of the present invention, the composition of the final filtered smoke can be adjusted and optimized by adjusting the composition of the atomizing liquid. Preferably, flavoring substances such as fragrances and flavorings can be added to the atomizing liquid, and the fragrances and flavorings should be easily soluble in water. The flavored atomizing liquid can be specially flavored according to the characteristics of the filtered smoke. This is a scheme for optimization before smoke filtration. According to another smoke optimization method of the present invention, an optimization scheme can also be adopted after smoke filtration, that is, after the smoke is filtered by water mist, the filtered smoke is brought into contact with volatile flavoring substances, so that the flavoring components are mixed into the smoke and output.

[0042] The flue gas outlet 4 is connected to the mixing chamber 3. After the water mist and flue gas mix in the mixing chamber 3, the mixed flue gas flows out from the flue gas outlet 4. The control system 6 can be used to control the on / off state and mist output of the water mist generating device 2. The flue gas outlet 4 has a mouthpiece 7, which consumers can use to inhale the filtered flue gas. The flue gas outlet 4 has an aerosol separation device 8. Since the mixed flue gas flowing directly out of the flue gas outlet 4 after the water mist and flue gas are mixed in the mixing chamber 3 will contain a lot of water mist components, the aerosol separation device 8 can be set to further separate the water mist components in the mixed flue gas. After the water mist and flue gas are mixed in the mixing chamber 3 and separated by the aerosol separation device 8, a considerable portion of the water mist condenses into water droplets and flows to the bottom of the mixing chamber 3 to form waste liquid. A waste liquid collection device 9 is set below the flue gas mixing chamber 3, which is connected to the bottom of the flue gas mixing chamber 3, and is used to collect the waste liquid in the flue gas mixing chamber 3.

[0043] In this embodiment, a flavoring device 10 is positioned upstream of the aerosol separator 8 along the airflow direction. Alternatively, the flavoring device 10 can be positioned downstream of the aerosol separator 8. Preferably, the flavoring device 10 can be integrated with the aerosol separator 8, creating a continuous smoke passage between them. In other embodiments, the flavoring device 10 can also be positioned downstream of the aerosol separator 8, and it can be made independent of the aerosol separator 8. The flavoring device contains a volatile flavoring substance, which includes fragrances and flavorings. The aroma components of the volatile fragrances and flavorings mix with the smoke passing through the flavoring device 10, ultimately adjusting the composition of the inhaled smoke. Preferably, the flavoring substance is a gel. The flavoring device can be detachable for replacing or adding the flavoring substance, or it can be a replaceable independent component, or integrated with the aerosol separator 8 for replacement.

[0044] Flavorings and fragrances can be selected in different types according to needs to achieve the effect of outputting filtered smoke with different flavors.

[0045] According to the present invention, a preferred formulation of the gel comprises, by weight: 1-10% glycerin; 0.1-5% carrageenan; 1-5% fragrance; 1-20% edible alcohol; and 60-96.9% water.

[0046] Preferably, a method for preparing a gel is as follows:

[0047] Phase A

[0048] raw material weight glycerin 3% water Replenish to 100% Carrageenan 0.6%

[0049] Phase B

[0050] raw material weight essence 3% Edible alcohol 10%

[0051] Prepare phase B and set aside. Phase A: Mix water and glycerin, stir at 400 rpm, and slowly add carrageenan. Then, drop phase A into phase B and continue stirring until it solidifies to form a gel.

[0052] Another preferred formulation of the gel has the following components by weight: 1-10% propylene glycol; 1-10% carrageenan; 1-5% flavoring; 1-20% edible alcohol; and 55-96% water.

[0053] Preferably, a method for preparing a gel is as follows:

[0054] Phase A

[0055] raw material Added amount Propylene glycol 2% water Replenish to 100% Carrageenan 3.5%

[0056] Phase B

[0057] raw material Added amount essence 3% Edible alcohol 10%

[0058] Prepare phase B and set aside. Phase A: Mix water and glycerin, stir at 300 rpm, and slowly add carrageenan. Then, drop phase A into phase B and continue stirring until it solidifies to form a gel.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the water mist filter smoke hood includes a water mist contact module I and a water mist isolation module II. Figure 2 The text further illustrates the flow path and direction of flue gas and water mist between modules using modules and arrows.

[0060] Arrow ①: The original smoke produced by the combustion of traditional cigarettes enters the mixing chamber 3 from the smoke inlet 1.

[0061] Arrow ②: Waste liquid enters the waste liquid collection device 9 from the flue gas mixing chamber 3.

[0062] Arrow ③: The mixed flue gas after water mist and flue gas are mixed in the mixing chamber 3 enters the gas mist separation device 8 / fragrance device 10 at the flue gas outlet 4; a considerable portion of the water mist condenses into water droplets in the gas mist separation device 8 and flows back to the mixing chamber 3.

[0063] Arrow ④: Filtered smoke is drawn out through nozzle 7.

[0064] Arrow ⑤: The water mist generating device 2 atomizes the atomizing liquid into water mist and sprays it into the flue gas mixing chamber 3.

[0065] Arrow ⑥: The atomizing liquid enters the water mist generating device 2 from the storage chamber 5.

[0066] The water mist contact module I includes a flue gas inlet 1, a mixing chamber 3, a flue gas outlet 4, and a waste liquid collection device 9. The flue gas inlet 1 can be interference-fitted with conventional cigarettes. The components of the water mist contact module are sealed with silicone rings, flanges, or sealant to ensure airtightness. The components through which the water mist flows form a relatively sealed whole, effectively reducing the risk of water mist leakage.

[0067] The water mist isolation module II includes a water mist generating device 2 and a control system 6.

[0068] There is only one connection port (arrow ⑤) between the water mist contact module and the water mist isolation module, through which the water mist generating device 2 and the mixing chamber 3 can be connected to each other. The water mist generating device is sealed at the connection port using methods such as silicone, flanges, or sealant. The water mist generating device 2 has a one-way channel; only when the water mist generating device 2 is operating can the water mist generated in the liquid storage chamber enter the mixing chamber 3 of the water mist contact module I in the form of water mist through the one-way channel. The water mist contact module and the water mist isolation module are essentially independent and separated, with only one necessary connection port, effectively protecting the control system and extending its service life.

[0069] The water mist isolation module II may further include a control compartment for housing the control system 6. The control compartment and the liquid storage chamber 5 are sealed and isolated from each other, thereby ensuring that the atomizing liquid in the liquid storage chamber 5 will not flow into the control compartment and thus damage the control system 6. The control compartment is provided with an electrical connection through hole, through which the control system 6 and the water mist generating device 2 are electrically connected. The electrical connection through hole is sealed, including by using a sealing ring or silicone filling.

[0070] The above-mentioned sealing and connection methods are very simple and facilitate the reuse, replacement and expansion of components.

[0071] Preferably, a flange seal is used between the mixing chamber 3 and the waste liquid collection device 9 (arrow ②).

[0072] Preferably, the connection between the aerosol separator 8 / fragrance device 10 (arrow ③) and the nozzle 7 (arrow ④) is sealed with a flange.

[0073] Preferably, the flue gas inlet 1 is provided with a smoke support, and the smoke support and the mixing chamber 3 are sealed with silicone.

[0074] Preferably, the water mist generating device is sealed to the connection port using silicone.

[0075] Preferably, the water mist contact module I and the water mist isolation module II are arranged side by side. Preferably, in the water mist contact module I, the flue gas inlet 1 and the flue gas outlet 4 are positioned above the mixing chamber 3, and the waste liquid collection device 9 is positioned below the mixing chamber 3. Preferably, the liquid storage chamber 5 is positioned above the water mist isolation module II. These arrangements can all be made from… Figure 1 and 2 It is clearly visible in the text.
