Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of the tobacco industry, specifically relating to a composite filter rod and its application. Background Technology

[0002] The filter rods commonly used in cigarettes are made of cellulose acetate. Although cellulose acetate can effectively absorb and intercept tar in cigarette smoke, it is not easily degraded, causing environmental pollution.

[0003] CN111772232A discloses a biodegradable hollow composite polylactic acid (PLA) fiber tow cigarette filter rod that reduces smoke temperature. The filter rod consists of at least two sections: a composite filter section and a PLA filter section. The PLA filter section is located near the inhalation end and is integrally formed from PLA fiber tow, with a hollow cavity extending along its length. The end of the filter rod facing the cigarette is called the upper end, and the end near the inhalation end is called the lower end. The upper end of the cigarette filter rod consists of uniformly distributed cylindrical PLA filter rods, while the lower end is a hollow PLA filter rod. This invention utilizes the Venturi effect generated by the reduction in size to lower the smoke temperature. Simultaneously, the PLA raw material is completely biodegradable, improving the environmental friendliness of the cigarette filter rod and preventing environmental pollution.

[0004] CN111789285A discloses a method for preparing polylactic acid (PLA) temperature-modified tow filter rods. The method involves uniformly mixing PLA masterbatch, SEBS, and PP, followed by online melt polymerization at 140-200℃. The mixture is then extruded via screw extrusion, cooled, and melt-spun into PLA filaments. These filaments are then drawn, crimped, dried, and shaped to obtain PLA filaments, which are then used to form filter rods on a conventional filter rod machine. The PLA temperature-modified tow filter rods prepared by this invention have a higher melting point and significantly improved heat resistance than traditional PLA filament filter rods. This avoids the shrinkage phenomenon in heated tobacco products and significantly reduces smoke temperature, solving the problems of high smoke temperature, strong heat irritation, and poor smoking comfort in heated tobacco products. This method is suitable for industrial production.

[0005] Polylactic acid (PLA) is increasingly used in cigarette products as a filter rod material. However, it mainly serves to reduce the temperature of cigarette smoke. PLA has a limited adsorption capacity and is difficult to effectively capture harmful components in cigarette smoke. Therefore, how to improve the filtration effect of PLA filter rods to meet the requirements of reducing tar and harm in cigarette smoke has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies and practical needs, this invention provides a composite filter rod and its applications. The composite filter rod, through its unique structure, can reduce harmful chemical components in flue gas without affecting the user's sensory experience.

[0007] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a composite filter rod, the composite filter rod comprising an inner core and an outer wrapping layer from the inside out;

[0009] The inner core is formed by rolling a continuous sheet.

[0010] After being cut on one side, the sheet has a V-shaped cutting groove that runs through the axial direction near the wrapping layer.

[0011] In the composite filter rod of the present invention, the inner core sheet is cut and rolled to form a V-shaped cutting groove. On the one hand, the V-shaped cutting groove can divide the flue gas, and on the other hand, the pores on the cut surface of the sheet can greatly increase the contact surface of the flue gas, improve the interception and adsorption of the flue gas, and reduce the harmful chemical components in the flue gas.

[0012] Preferably, the sheet material includes polylactic acid.

[0013] Preferably, the polylactic acid includes expanded polylactic acid.

[0014] In this invention, the polylactic acid used is expanded polylactic acid, which contains a large number of continuous closed pores. By cutting, the pores are broken, thereby significantly increasing its surface area and thus improving the adsorption effect on harmful components in flue gas.

The combination of activated carbon powder and Peruvian extract can not only better adsorb harmful components in the smoke, but also make the smoke smoother and improve the taste.

[0028] Preferably, the mass ratio of activated carbon powder, Peruvian extract and polyvinylpyrrolidone is (1-3):(0.1-0.8):(0.2-1).

[0029] The values ​​“1-3” can be 1.1, 1.3, 1.5, 1.7, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.7, or 2.9, etc.

[0030] "0.1-0.8" can be 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, or 0.7, etc.;

[0031] "0.2-1" can be 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, or 0.9, etc.

[0032] Preferably, the sheet is also covered with cotton thread.

[0033] Preferably, the cotton thread is loaded with fragrance-enhancing ingredients.

[0034] Preferably, the flavoring ingredients include any one or a combination of at least two of the following: tangerine peel flavoring, coffee flavoring, grapefruit flavoring, or peppermint flavoring.

[0035] Preferably, the flavoring components include tangerine peel flavoring and peppermint flavoring.

[0097] Comparative Example 1

[0098] This comparative example provides a composite filter rod with an outer diameter of 5.4 mm, which includes an inner core and an outer wrapping layer from the inside out.

[0099] The inner core is formed by rolling a 1.5mm thick and 14mm wide polylactic acid foam sheet with cotton thread as the axis.

[0100] The cotton thread contains a mixture of tangerine peel flavoring and peppermint flavoring;

[0101] The outer wrapping layer consists of a filament layer and a fixing layer, with the fixing layer located around the filament layer.

[0102] The material of the filament layer is cellulose acetate; the material of the fixing layer is paper.

[0103] The composite filter rod is prepared as follows: foamed polylactic acid is laid flat on the workbench, and the polylactic acid sheet is rolled around the cotton thread as an axis.

[0104] Test Example 1: Mainstream Flue Gas Detection

[0105] Test cigarettes were prepared by combining the composite filter rods obtained in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Example 1 with cellulose acetate filter rods and tobacco shreds. The composite filter rods were 20 mm long, and the cellulose acetate filter rods were 10 mm long. The composite filter rod section in the test cigarettes was located near the tobacco shred end. Cigarettes with cellulose acetate filter rods (30 mm long) were prepared using the same process as control cigarettes. Cigarettes with cellulose acetate filter rods with an outer diameter of 5.4 mm were control cigarette 1, cigarettes with cellulose acetate filter rods with an outer diameter of 6.3 mm were control cigarette 2, and cigarettes with cellulose acetate filter rods with an outer diameter of 7.8 mm were control cigarette 3.

[0106] The tar and carbon monoxide content in the mainstream smoke captured from the test cigarettes and control cigarettes were measured, and the draw resistance of the cigarettes was also tested.

[0107] Test method:

[0108] The tar content was determined according to GB / T 19609-2004, "Total particulate matter and tar for conventional analysis of cigarettes using a smoking machine".

[0109] The CO content was determined according to GB / T 23356-2009, Determination of Carbon Monoxide in Gas Phase of Cigarette Smoke - Non-scattering Infrared Method.

[0110] The draw resistance test was performed in accordance with GB / T 22838.5-2009 Determination of Physical Properties of Cigarettes and Filters Part 5: Cigarette Draw Resistance and Filter Pressure Drop.

[0111] The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0112] Table 1

[0114] As shown in Table 1, compared with the control cigarette, the composite filter rods prepared in Examples 1-3 of this invention have lower draw resistance and better adsorption effect on harmful chemical components in cigarette smoke.

[0115] As can be seen from Examples 5-7, coating the surface of the V-shaped cutting groove with an adsorption coating and the selection of the type of adsorption coating will affect the adsorption effect of the filter rod on harmful chemical components in flue gas.

[0116] As can be seen from Examples 8-9, when the cutting spacing of the sheet surface in Example 8 is too large, the draw resistance of the cigarette is high, and the effective contact area between polylactic acid and the adsorption coating and the smoke is small, resulting in poor adsorption effect on harmful components of the smoke; while in Example 9, the cutting spacing of the sheet surface is 0.5mm, which is too small, making it difficult to achieve continuous production of the composite filter rod, and cigarette rolling was not carried out.

[0117] As can be seen from Example 10, the choice of material for the sheet has a great influence on the adsorption effect of the filter rod;

[0118] As shown in Comparative Example 1, when the sheet is not cut, the draw resistance of the cigarette is too high and cannot meet the application standards.

[0119] Test Example 2 Sensory Quality

[0120] Sample preparation was the same as in Test Example 1. Sensory quality tests were conducted on the test cigarettes and the control cigarettes.

[0121] Test method: Refer to national standard GB 5606.4-2005 Cigarettes Part 4: Sensory technical requirements.

[0122] Testing criteria: Aroma scores range from 1 to 30 points, harmony scores range from 1 to 10 points, off-flavor scores range from 1 to 15 points, irritation scores range from 1 to 20 points, aftertaste scores range from 1 to 25 points, and the total score is 100 points.

[0123] Table 2 shows the sensory evaluation results of the sample cigarettes with a filter rod outer diameter of 5.4 mm.

[0124] Table 2

[0125]

[0126] As shown in Test Example 1, the cutting spacing on the sheet surface of Example 9 was 0.5 mm, making continuous production of the composite filter rod difficult, and cigarette rolling was not carried out. In Comparative Example 1, when the sheet was not cut, the draw resistance of the cigarette was too high and could not meet the application standards. Therefore, the sensory evaluation results of Example 9 and Comparative Example 1 are not listed in Table 2.

[0127] As can be seen from Table 2, compared with the control cigarette, the composite filter rod obtained by the method of the present invention in Example 1 of the present invention, when used in cigarettes, significantly improves the aroma, off-flavors, harmony, irritation, and taste.

[0128] Comparative evaluations were conducted on cigarettes with filter rods of different outer diameters, such as Example 2 and control cigarette 2, and Example 3 and control cigarette 3. The results showed that when the composite filter rods obtained by the method of the present invention in Examples 2-3 were used in cigarettes, the cigarettes showed significant improvements in aroma, off-flavors, harmony, irritation, and taste.

[0129] The applicant declares that this invention illustrates a composite filter rod and its application through the above embodiments, but this invention is not limited to the detailed methods described above, that is, it does not mean that this invention must rely on the detailed methods described above to be implemented. Those skilled in the art should understand that any improvements to this invention, equivalent substitutions of the raw materials of this invention, additions of auxiliary components, and selection of specific methods, etc., all fall within the protection and disclosure scope of this invention.
