Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of tobacco peripheral accessories, specifically relating to a disposable cigarette ring. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the times and the economy and society, cigarettes have become an indispensable part of some people's lives. Smokers are increasingly dissatisfied with the monotony of existing cigarette flavors and pursue diversity and fun in the smoking process. Currently, the cigarettes used in my country's tobacco industry are filled with tobacco shreds, resulting in a single type of smoke. A pack of cigarettes usually only has one flavor. To solve this limitation, flavor capsules are usually placed inside the cigarette filter.

[0003] However, even if a flavor capsule is placed inside the cigarette filter, the taste of the cigarette is already determined when the cigarette is purchased, and it cannot be changed according to the user's needs, thus reducing the user's range of choices. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a disposable cigarette ring. By fitting the cigarette ring onto the radial air inlet of a cigarette with a radial air inlet, the tobacco extract inside the cigarette ring is volatilized to add flavor to the cigarette. This allows users to purchase cigarettes and cigarette rings separately according to their own tastes and then freely combine them, thus increasing the range of choices for users.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A disposable cigarette ring includes a ring body fitted onto the radial air inlet of a cigarette with a radial air inlet. The ring body has a cavity, and the cavity is filled with a filler material. The filler material is contaminated with tobacco extract. The end of the ring body has a connecting hole, and the inner wall of the ring body has a plurality of fine holes. The ring body is also provided with a sealing mechanism for sealing the connecting hole and the fine holes.

[0007] Further specifying, the sealing mechanism includes a sealing plug inserted into the connecting hole, a sealing plate attached to the ring body, and the sealing plug fixedly installed on the sealing plate. This structural design allows the sealing plate to be pushed directly by the cigarette filter when the ring body is fitted onto the cigarette, causing the sealing plate to detach from the ring body and subsequently disengaging the sealing plug from the connecting hole. This allows the cavity to connect with the outside air through the connecting hole, making it more convenient to use.

[0008] Furthermore, the sealing mechanism also includes a sealing head that is engaged within the fine hole. The sealing head has an integrally formed connecting rod, and the free ends of multiple connecting rods are connected to connecting pieces, which are located inside the ring. This structural design allows the connecting pieces to be directly pushed by the cigarette filter when the ring is fitted onto the cigarette, thereby disengaging the sealing head from the fine hole and enabling the cavity to communicate with the outside air through the fine hole, making it more convenient to use.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting hole is located at the upper end of the ring. This structural design ensures that after the ring is fitted onto the cigarette and the sealing mechanism for the connecting hole is disassembled, the connecting hole faces upwards, thus preventing the tobacco extract from leaking out of the cavity. This design is highly practical.

[0010] Furthermore, the ring body has a fixed partition plate inside the cavity. The partition plate is annular, and its upper part is fixedly connected to the top of the cavity. The connecting hole is located on the outside of the partition plate. This structural design, using the partition plate to divide the cavity, allows more outside air to come into contact with the filling material inside the cavity, thus driving more tobacco extract into the cigarette through the fine pores, making it highly practical.

[0011] Further specifying, a first retaining ring is provided on the upper part of the inner wall of the ring, and a second retaining ring is provided on the lower part of the inner wall of the ring. The fine hole is located between the first and second retaining rings. This structural design, through the first and second retaining rings, creates an annular space between the cigarette and the inner wall of the ring with the fine hole, avoiding direct contact between the cigarette and the ring, thus preventing the cigarette from clogging the fine hole. This allows the tobacco extract to enter the cigarette more smoothly after evaporation, making it highly practical.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner wall of the second retaining ring gradually slopes outward from top to bottom. This structural design makes the ring easier to fit onto cigarettes, enhancing its convenience.

[0013] Both the first and second retaining rings have rubber rings embedded in their inner walls. This structural design increases the seal between the ring and the cigarette through the rubber rings, reducing leakage of tobacco extract at the connection between the cigarette and the first and second retaining rings after evaporation, making it highly practical.

[0014] The invention employing the above technical solution has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. By attaching a cigarette ring to the radial air inlet of a cigarette with a radial air inlet, the tobacco extract inside the cigarette ring is volatilized to add flavor to the cigarette. This allows users to purchase cigarettes and cigarette rings separately according to their own tastes and then freely combine them, thus increasing the range of choices for users.

[0016] 2. Through the cooperation of the sealing plug, sealing piece and ring, when the ring is put on the cigarette, the cigarette filter can be used to push the sealing piece, so that the sealing piece is separated from the ring, and then the sealing plug is separated from the connecting hole, so that the cavity is connected to the outside air through the connecting hole, making it more convenient to use.

[0017] 3. Through the cooperation of the sealing head, connecting piece and ring, when the ring is put on the cigarette, the connecting piece can be pushed directly by the cigarette filter, thereby driving the sealing head to disengage from the fine hole, so that the cavity can be connected to the outside air through the fine hole, making it more convenient to use;

[0018] 4. The cavity is divided by a separator, which allows more outside air to come into contact with the filling material inside the cavity, and brings more tobacco extract into the cigarette through the fine pores, making it highly practical.

[0019] 5. By using the first and second retaining rings, an annular space is created between the cigarette and the inner wall of the ring with fine holes, preventing the cigarette from directly contacting the ring and causing blockage of the fine holes. This allows the tobacco extract to enter the cigarette more smoothly after evaporation, making it highly practical. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Connecting piece 3, sealing head 30, connecting rod 31

[0029] Separator 4, first retaining ring 41, second retaining ring 42. Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that similar or identical parts are referred to by the same reference numerals in the drawings or description. Implementations not shown or described in the drawings are forms known to those skilled in the art. In addition, directional terms mentioned in the embodiments, such as "up," "down," "top," "bottom," "left," "right," "front," and "back," are only for reference to the directions in the drawings and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a disposable cigarette ring of the present invention includes a ring body 1 fitted onto the radial air inlet of a cigarette 10 with a radial air inlet. The ring body 1 has a cavity 11, and the cavity 11 is filled with a filler material. The filler material is contaminated with tobacco extract. The end of the ring body 1 has a connecting hole, and the inner wall of the ring body 1 has a plurality of fine holes. The ring body 1 is also provided with a sealing mechanism for sealing the connecting hole and the fine holes.

[0032] The sealing mechanism includes a sealing plug 20 inserted into the connecting hole, and a sealing piece 2 attached to the ring 1, with the sealing plug 20 fixedly installed on the sealing piece 2. When the ring 1 is fitted onto the cigarette 10, the sealing piece 2 can be directly pushed by the filter of the cigarette 10, thereby causing the sealing piece 2 to detach from the ring 1, which in turn causes the sealing plug 20 to detach from the connecting hole, allowing the cavity 11 to communicate with the outside air through the connecting hole, making it more convenient to use.

[0033] The sealing mechanism also includes a sealing head 30 that is fitted into the fine hole. A connecting rod 31 is integrally formed on the sealing head 30, and connecting pieces 3 are connected to the free ends of multiple connecting rods 31. The connecting pieces 3 are located inside the ring body 1. When the ring body 1 is fitted onto the cigarette 10, the connecting pieces 3 can be directly pushed using the filter of the cigarette 10, thereby causing the sealing head 30 to disengage from the fine hole, allowing the cavity 11 to communicate with the outside air through the fine hole, making it more convenient to use.

[0034] The connecting hole is located at the upper end of the ring 1. This ensures that after the ring 1 is fitted onto the cigarette 10 and the sealing mechanism for the connecting hole is disassembled, the connecting hole faces upwards, thus preventing the tobacco extract in the cavity 11 from flowing out of the connecting hole, making it highly practical.

[0035] A partition plate 4 is fixedly installed inside the cavity 11 in the ring body 1. The partition plate 4 is annular, and its upper part is fixedly connected to the top of the cavity 11. The connecting hole is located on the outside of the partition plate 4. The partition plate 4 divides the cavity 11, allowing more outside air to come into contact with the filling material inside the cavity 11, thus driving more tobacco extract into the cigarette 10 through the fine pores. This design is highly practical.

[0036] A first retaining ring 41 is provided on the upper part of the inner wall of the ring body 1, and a second retaining ring 42 is provided on the lower part of the inner wall of the ring body 1. The fine hole is located between the first retaining ring 41 and the second retaining ring 42. Through the first retaining ring 41 and the second retaining ring 42, an annular space is created between the cigarette 10 and the inner wall of the ring body 1 with the fine hole, avoiding direct contact between the cigarette 10 and the ring body 1, which would cause the cigarette 10 to block the fine hole. This allows the tobacco extract to enter the cigarette 10 more smoothly after evaporation, making it highly practical.

[0037] The inner wall of the second retaining ring 42 gradually slopes outward from top to bottom. This makes it easier for the ring 1 to be fitted onto the cigarette 10, making it more convenient to use.

[0038] The inner walls of both the first retaining ring 41 and the second retaining ring 42 are inlaid with rubber rings. The rubber rings increase the sealing between the ring body 1 and the cigarette 10, reducing the leakage from the connection between the cigarette 10 and the first retaining ring 41 and the second retaining ring 42 after the tobacco extract evaporates, which is highly practical.

[0039] In this embodiment, when in use, the filter end of the cigarette 10 is inserted from below the ring body 1, and the cigarette 10 is used to push the connecting piece 3, so that the sealing head 30 is disengaged from the fine hole.

[0040] Continue pushing the cigarette 10 to push the sealing piece 2, causing the sealing plug 20 to disengage from the connecting hole;

[0041] Continue pushing the cigarette 10 until the air inlet of the cigarette 10 is located between the first stop ring 41 and the second stop ring 42 inside the ring body 1. At this point, the cigarette 10 can be inhaled.

[0042] When inhaling, as the user inhales, outside air enters the cavity 11 through the connecting hole, causing the tobacco extract on the filling material to evaporate. The aroma of the evaporated tobacco extract, along with the outside air, enters the annular space between the ring body 1 and the cigarette 10 through the fine holes, and then enters the filter end through the air inlet on the cigarette 10, and is inhaled by the user along with the smoke generated by the cigarette itself.

[0043] The present invention has been described in detail above. The specific embodiments are provided only to aid in understanding the method and core ideas of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
