[0003] The atomizer includes an atomizing core and a liquid storage cavity, wherein the atomizing core includes a heating wire, an oil guide medium, and an atomizing support.

However, the heat-resistant temperature of cotton fibers is low, and the capillary action decreases after being heated, which weakens the oil guide ability and further causes the taste attenuation.

[0040] In the present application, the technical features described in an open manner include both the closed technical solution consisting of the listed features and the open technical solution containing the listed features.

[0041] In the present application, "preferably", "better", "better", "as appropriate" are only for describing better implementation or embodiments, and should be understood as not constituting a limitation on the scope of protection of the present application.

[0042] In the present application, "further", "further", "especially" and the like are used for description purposes, indicating differences in content, but should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application.

[0044] In the present application, the numerical interval (i.e. the numerical range) is referred to, without special specification, and the optional numerical distribution within the above numerical interval is considered to be continuous, and includes the two numerical endpoints (i.e. the minimum value and the maximum value) of the numerical range, and every value between the two numerical endpoints. Without special specification, when the numerical interval only points to the integer within the numerical interval, including the two endpoint integers of the numerical range and every integer between the two endpoints, in this article, it is equivalent to directly listing each integer, such as t is an integer including 1-10, which means that t is any integer in the integer group consisting of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. In addition, when multiple ranges are provided to describe characteristics or properties, these ranges can be combined. In other words, unless otherwise specified, the ranges disclosed herein should be understood to include any and all sub-ranges subsumed therein.

[0045] The temperature parameter in the present application, if not particularly limited, allows for constant temperature treatment, and also allows for variation within a certain temperature range. It should be understood that the constant temperature treatment allows for fluctuations within the accuracy range controlled by the instrument. Fluctuations within a range such as ±5°C, ±4°C, ±3°C, ±2°C, ±1°C are allowed.

[0046] In the present application, the percentage concentration refers to the final concentration if not particularly specified. The final concentration refers to the proportion of the added component in the system after the component is added.

[0047] Because the existing cotton fiber has low heat-resistant temperature, the capillary effect decreases after heating, the oil guiding ability decreases in the middle and late stages, and thus the taste decays.

[0048] Based on this, the first aspect of the present application provides a composite spinning material, and the preparation raw material of the composite spinning material includes first fibers and second fibers with a mass ratio of 1:(0.01-0.05).

[0049] The first fibers include one or more of cotton fibers, wood fibers, bamboo fibers, reed fibers, bast core fibers, and sugarcane residue fibers; and the second fibers include hemp fibers.

[0050] The first fibers have good renewability and are environmentally friendly and easy to obtain; the second fibers refer to fibers obtained from various hemp plants. By selecting the first fibers and the second fibers and reasonably matching the first fibers and the second fibers, the prepared composite spinning material has high heat-resistant temperature and thermal decomposition temperature, and thus has high heat-resistant temperature; when the composite spinning material is applied to an electronic cigarette heat-conducting medium, the electronic cigarette taste decay problem caused by the decrease in oil guiding ability can be delayed or avoided.

[0051] Understandably, the mass ratio of the first fibers to the second fibers in the present application can include any value between 1:(0.01-0.05). Specifically, the mass ratio of the first fibers to the second fibers includes but is not limited to 1:0.01, 1:0.02, 1:0.03, 1:0.04, or 1:0.05.

[0052] To ensure the capillary effect of the composite spinning material as an oil guiding medium, preferably, the first fibers are cotton fibers.

[0053] The fiber diameter plays an important role in the interface properties of the composite filament material, so as to ensure the contact area and liquid transmission efficiency of the composite filament material and the liquid medium. In one example, the diameter of the composite filament material is 10-15 μm. It can be understood that the diameter of the composite filament material is 10-15 μm, which can include any value between 10-15 μm. Specifically, the diameter of the composite filament material includes but is not limited to 10 μm, 11 μm, 11.5 μm, 12 μm, 12.1 μm, 12.2 μm, 12.3 μm, 12.35 μm, 12.39 μm, 12.4 μm, 12.5 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm or 15 μm.

[0054] In one example, the thermal gravimetric temperature of the composite filament material is ≥ 295℃. The temperature of the heating wire in the electronic cigarette during the suction work is 250℃, and the thermal gravimetric temperature of the composite filament material provided by the application is 45℃ higher than the working temperature, so that the heat resistance performance is excellent, and when used as a heat conduction medium of the electronic cigarette, the electronic cigarette taste attenuation problem caused by the weakening of the oil guiding ability can be delayed or avoided.

[0055] In one example, the thermal gravimetric temperature of the composite filament material is ≥ 333℃.

[0056] In a second aspect, the application provides a preparation method of the composite filament material according to any one of the examples of the first aspect of the application, comprising the following steps:

[0057] The first fiber and the second fiber are taken according to the mass ratio;

[0058] The first fiber and the second fiber are immersed in the impregnation solution for enzymatic reaction to prepare pulp;

[0059] An alkaline aqueous solution is added to the pulp to terminate the enzymatic reaction, and after removing part of the water, the pulp is crushed to prepare pulp particles;

[0060] An organic spinning solvent is added to the pulp particles for mixing, and after removing the water in the pulp particles, an organic spinning solution is prepared;

[0061] The organic spinning solution is filtered and spun, and then solidified to prepare the composite filament material.

[0062] In order to avoid the existence of metal impurities in the first fiber and the second fiber, and thus damage or safety hazards to the subsequent process. In one example, before the step of immersing the first fiber and the second fiber in the impregnation solution for enzymatic reaction, the method further comprises the step of metal detection of the first fiber and the second fiber.

[0063] In one example, the impregnation solution includes an inorganic acid and a biological enzyme. In the present application, the purpose of including an inorganic acid in the impregnation solution is to provide an acidic environment for the enzymatic hydrolysis of the first fibers and the second fibers. The pH of the impregnation solution can be increased to 4.5-7.0 by adding acid. The acid can include one or more of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and acetic acid.

[0064] In addition, the biological enzyme includes cellulase. By selecting an impregnation solution including cellulase and setting the enzymatic hydrolysis temperature to 60-90°C, the cellulase can break the hydrogen bonds in the cellulose molecules, thereby increasing the enzymatic hydrolysis speed and improving the degradation efficiency of the first fibers and the second fibers. It can be understood that the enzymatic hydrolysis temperature includes but is not limited to 60°C, 65°C, 70°C, 75°C, 80°C, 85°C, or 90°C.

[0065] In one example, the mass ratio of the first fibers and the second fibers to the cellulase is 1:(0.01-0.1). It can be understood that the mass ratio of the first fibers and the second fibers to the cellulase can include any value between 1:(0.01-0.1). Specifically, the mass ratio of the first fibers and the second fibers to the cellulase includes but is not limited to 1:0.01, 1:0.02, 1:0.05, 1:0.08, 1:0.09, or 1:0.1.

[0066] In one example, the alkaline aqueous solution includes one or more of sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and potassium hydroxide aqueous solution. In the present application, to stop the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction, the alkaline solution can be added to a pH>8. The alkaline solution can neutralize the effect of the enzyme, effectively stop the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction, and stabilize the chemical properties of the pulp.

[0067] In one example, the organic spinning solvent includes one or more of methanol, ethanol, acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide, chloroform, and N-methylmorpholine-4-oxide (NMMO).

[0068] Due to the interaction between the cellulose molecular chains and the water in the micropores and pores thereof, preliminary water removal cannot remove all the water. To further remove the water from the cellulose, further dehydration treatment is required.

[0069] In one example, the step of removing the water from the pulp particles includes spreading the mixed pulp solution including the pulp particles and the organic spinning solvent into a thin layer, and removing the water from the pulp particles under a vacuum degree of ≤-98 KPa to prepare an organic spinning solution.

[0070] In the organic spinning solution, the mass concentration of the cellulose is 10%-30%. During the dehydration process, the water content decreases, and the content of the organic spinning solvent increases accordingly, thereby preparing the organic spinning solution.

[0071] In one of the examples, the process parameters of the spinning include: the spinning speed is 500m / min-1000m / min.

[0072] In one of the examples, after the solidification step, further comprising:

[0073] washing the solidified fiber, cutting into short fibers;

[0074] oiling and drying the short fibers.

[0075] In one of the specific examples, the method for preparing the composite spinning material includes the following steps:

[0076] S10. Selecting the first fiber and the second fiber with a mass ratio of 1:(0.01-0.05), and after metal detection, immersing the first fiber and the second fiber in an impregnation solution with a pH of 4.5-7.0 and containing cellulase, so that the mass ratio of the first fiber and the second fiber to the cellulase is 1:(0.01-0.1);

[0077] S20. Enzymatic reaction of the first fiber and the second fiber in the impregnation solution at a temperature of 60-90°C, and the enzymatic reaction time is 1-10h, to prepare pulp;

[0078] S30. Adding lye to the pulp prepared in step S20 to adjust the pH>8 to stop the enzymatic reaction, and after stirring, removing the liquid by a press machine and sending it to a pulverizer for crushing to prepare pulp particles with a particle size of 8-300μm;

[0079] S40. Mixing the pulp particles prepared in step S30 with an organic spinning solvent according to a weight ratio of 1:(4-10) to prepare a pulp solution; spreading the mixed pulp solution including the pulp particles and the organic spinning solvent into a thin layer, and removing the water from the pulp particles under a vacuum degree of ≤-98KPa to prepare an organic spinning solution; wherein the mass concentration of cellulose in the organic spinning solution is 10%-30%;

[0080] S50. Filtering the organic spinning solution prepared in step S40 to remove solid impurities, and sending it to a spinning assembly to be extruded through a spinneret, wherein the spinning speed is 500m / min-1000m / min, the number of spinneret holes is 1000-2000, and the fiber with a diameter of 10-15μm is prepared after solidification;

[0081] S60. Washing the fiber prepared in step S50 to make the residual amount of the solvent in the fiber <1.5%, cutting the fiber into short fibers after washing, and preparing a composite fiber material after oiling and drying.

[0082] In one example, the length of the cut staple fiber is 3mm to 10mm in step S60.

[0083] To enable the composite spun material to meet the actual performance needs, in one example, after the step of S60, further comprising:

[0084] S70. After the composite fiber material prepared in step S60 is opened, mixed, carded, crosslinked laid, drawn, pre-wetted, forward and reverse hydroentangled, finished, dried and wound into a shape, a textile product is prepared. Understandably, the textile product herein includes but is not limited to an electronic cigarette oil guide medium.

[0085] In step S70, the composite fiber material is opened and mixed, which can untangle and interleave the composite fiber material to achieve uniform fiber dispersion. This helps the subsequent process to proceed smoothly and improves the operability and processability of the fiber. Through the carding process, the composite fiber material can be further arranged to remove impurities, coarse fibers and short fibers and other undesirable fiber materials; and further improve the fiber parallelism and neatness to provide better fiber quality for subsequent processing steps.

[0086] In the step of cross-laying, the fibers are cross-laid to form the basic structure of the textile, which helps to improve the strength, stability and uniformity of the textile, so that the textile can withstand tension and deformation without easy deformation. Through the drawing process, the cross-laid textile is elongated under a certain tensile force, changing the arrangement and structure of the fibers, thereby improving the strength, elasticity and softness of the textile.

[0087] Before forward and reverse hydroentanglement, pre-wetting treatment is performed to soak the textile in a suitable liquid medium to fully absorb the moisture in the fibers, increase the adhesion between the fibers, and facilitate the next step of water jet processing. Through the water jet process, the impact force of high-speed water jet and the penetration of water flow make the fibers interlock and combine under the action of water flow. Water jet can increase the density, strength and uniformity of the textile.

[0088] The textile after water jet processing is subjected to post-processing processes such as ironing, trimming, printing and dyeing, which helps to improve the texture, gloss and appearance of the textile, meeting the requirements of different needs and purposes. Further, the processed textile is dried to remove excess moisture and improve the stability and dryness of the textile. Finally, the textile is wound into a shape, making it easy to transport, store and use.

[0089] In a third aspect of the present application, an electronic cigarette oil guide medium is provided, comprising the composite spun material of any one of the examples of the first aspect of the present application.

[0090] The application can make the prepared composite spinning material have higher thermogravimetric temperature and thermal decomposition temperature by selecting the first fiber and the second fiber and reasonably matching the first fiber and the second fiber, so as to have higher heat resistance temperature; when the composite spinning material is applied to the electronic cigarette heat-conducting medium, the electronic cigarette taste attenuation problem caused by the weakening of the oil guiding ability can be delayed or avoided.

[0091] In a fourth aspect, the application provides an electronic cigarette comprising the electronic cigarette oil guiding medium according to the third aspect.

[0092] The following specific examples are provided to further illustrate the application, but the application is not limited to the following examples. Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials used in the examples are commercially available products.
