Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tobacco product technology, and more specifically to an aerosol-generating product. Background Technology

[0002] HNB (Heat Not Burn), also known as low-temperature cigarettes, is a new type of tobacco product that combines a heating device and a tobacco cartridge. Designed with the concept of "heating without burning," it uses a special heating device (the device) to heat processed tobacco (a special tobacco cartridge) to a certain temperature, enough to release smoke for inhalation. Its advantages include reduced harm and restoration of the pure taste and throat hit of traditional cigarettes, providing smokers with a smoking alternative that is closest to traditional cigarettes.

[0003] HNB consists of two parts: a heated tobacco device and an HNB cartridge. An HNB cartridge typically consists of three parts: a core section, a cooling section, and a filter section. The core section is an important component. After being heated in the heating chamber, the core section emits smoke similar to that of traditional cigarettes. The smoke is then passed through the cooling section and the filter section before being inhaled by the user.

[0004] Currently available HNB (Heated Tobacco Bundle) cartridges primarily use reconstituted tobacco leaves or shredded tobacco as the core material, glycerin or propylene glycol as the smoke-generating agent, and add flavorings and other ingredients. They generate smoke at a relatively low heating temperature (typically 300-350℃) to achieve the smoking effect. Although HNB products release fewer harmful substances, the actual heating temperature is significantly lower than traditional tobacco, resulting in less smoke and a less pleasant smoking experience. Increasing the amount of smoke produced requires increasing the amounts of glycerin and propylene glycol. However, glycerin itself has excellent hygroscopic properties, leading to high hygroscopicity in the product, causing significant inconvenience in later processing and storage. Furthermore, its high hygroscopicity after opening the packaging can cause uneven smoking of different cigarettes. Additionally, heat transfer requires a certain amount of time, resulting in inconsistent smoke production even within the same cigarette.

[0005] To increase smoke production, existing technologies have mentioned using propylene glycol / glycerol-coated capsules as aerosol-generating matrix, but most related technologies simply use capsules as a supplement to tobacco materials. Some patents also mention using pure capsules directly as aerosol-generating material and placing them in the aerosol-generating matrix section; however, these technologies all use single capsules and need to address the problem of core material leakage after capsule rupture, for example, by using absorbent pads to absorb the capsule core material. It is evident that the relevant technical literature does not explicitly propose how to directly use capsules as aerosol-generating material, nor does it solve a series of technical problems associated with directly using capsules as aerosol-generating material. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Therefore, this invention provides an HNB product, namely an aerosol generating product, to increase smoke production, reduce heating release temperature, reduce smoke hazards, and improve the inhalation experience.

[0007] Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention provide the following technical solutions:

[0008] An aerosol generating article includes an aerosol generating matrix section, wherein the aerosol generating matrix section includes aerosol generating capsules. The aerosol generating capsules are confined to a fixed region or a defined movable region by a model structure. A fixed region means that the model structure is fixed within the tube of the aerosol generating article, thus the area where the aerosol generating capsule is confined is also fixed. A defined movable region means that the model structure is movable within the tube, therefore the area where the aerosol generating capsule is confined is also movable, but this movable region is itself limited by the movement mode of the model structure. During the heating process of the aerosol generating capsules, the capsules closest to the heat source rupture first. Capsule rupture may lead to collapse and accumulation, and coupled with the adhesion of the core fluid, this may result in increased suction resistance. By confining the capsule area or dividing multiple capsules into separate zones using the model structure, the contact between the capsule and the tube or between the capsules can be reduced, thereby reducing suction resistance. Furthermore, the model structure also increases the porosity of the capsule filling, which also helps to reduce suction resistance.

[0009] Optionally or preferably, the model structure is fixed at a designated location within the aerosol-generating article. The designated location is generally used to define an area of ​​the aerosol-generating matrix segment.

[0010] Optionally or preferably, the aerosol-generating article further includes a limiting member, which restricts the model structure within the aerosol-generating matrix section.

[0011] Optionally or preferably, the model structure can move within the aerosol generation matrix section. Moving model structures help to further reduce capsule stacking and decrease suction resistance.

[0012] Optionally or preferably, the model structure isolates the aerosol-generating capsules and forms multiple specific regions, confining the aerosol-generating capsules within their respective specific regions. The isolating capsules also reduce capsule stacking, thereby reducing suction resistance.

[0013] Optionally or preferably, the aerosol-generating capsules are arranged in a regular pattern within the fixed area or the defined active area. Although this increases manufacturing difficulty, the regular arrangement helps reduce suction resistance.

[0014] Optionally or preferably, the aerosol generating capsules are irregularly arranged in the fixed area or the defined active area.

[0015] Optionally or preferably, the model's structural components are made of metallic materials. Metals generally have excellent thermal conductivity, which can effectively absorb heat and rapidly transfer it to the aerosol-generating capsules, thereby increasing the aerosol release rate.

[0016] Optionally or preferably, the model's structural components are made of heat-resistant materials. The heat-resistant materials should be able to withstand at least the heating temperature.

[0017] Optionally or preferably, the model structure has heating channels into which the heating element of the aerosol generator can be inserted. The provision of heating channels facilitates the insertion of the heating element and keeps it clean.

[0018] Optionally or preferably, the length of the aerosol-generating matrix segment accounts for 10% to 60% of the total length of the aerosol-generating product. Since the capsule particle size is adjustable, the length of the aerosol-generating matrix segment filled in the capsule is adjustable and the adjustment range can be sufficiently wide to adapt to different heating methods or release effects.

[0019] Optionally or preferably, the particle size of the aerosol generating capsules is 1–3 mm, preferably 1.5–2.5 mm. When the smoke release is designed to be the same, if the capsule particle size is too small, the amount of core material in each capsule is lower. Although the uniformity of release will improve, it will also lead to a decrease in the carrying capacity of the smoke-generating agent and a reduction in the filling porosity, all of which adversely affect the smoke release effect. Therefore, a suitable particle size, especially a moderate particle size, can ensure a good inhalation experience and also prevent the problem of large-diameter capsule core material flowing out of the aerosol generating product.

[0020] Optionally or preferably, the filling amount of the aerosol generating capsule is 0.05–0.5 g, preferably 0.1–0.3 g. For a given amount of smoke release, a higher filling amount may lead to material waste, while a lower filling amount will reduce the persistence of aerosol generation. Therefore, a moderate filling amount can ensure a good inhalation experience.

[0021] Optionally or preferably, the filling amount of the aerosol generating capsules is 5 to 100 capsules, preferably 15 to 30 capsules. When the smoke release is designed to be the same, a lower number of capsules may result in too much core material in each capsule, which may cause the core material to flow out of the aerosol generating product; while a higher number of capsules will lead to an increase in draw resistance, affecting the vaping experience; at the same time, an appropriate filling amount can also ensure the uniformity of smoke release.

[0022] Optionally or preferably, the aerosol generating matrix segment does not include other aerosol generating materials besides the aerosol generating capsule. Since different aerosol generating materials have different heating release temperatures, the aerosol generating capsule can release at a lower temperature, thus further reducing the heating release temperature. Using a single type of aerosol generating material, such as the aerosol generating capsule, allows for maintaining release efficiency while using a lower heating release temperature, thereby saving energy and reducing potentially harmful components released at high temperatures.

[0023] The aerosol generating article provided in this invention includes an aerosol generating capsule in the aerosol generating matrix section. The aerosol generating capsule is confined to a fixed or movable area by a model structure, which can reduce draw resistance and improve the vaping experience. Furthermore, the model structure can have various structures and fixing methods to better accommodate aerosol generating capsules of different sizes, shapes, and numbers. Furthermore, the model structure has heating channels that can be inserted into the heating element of an aerosol generating device, thereby adapting to centrally heated smoking devices.

[0035] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0036] To address the issues of low smoke production and high susceptibility to environmental factors in existing HNB (High-End Tobacco) cartridge products that primarily use reconstituted tobacco leaves or shredded tobacco as core materials, this invention provides an aerosol-generating product. The aerosol-generating matrix section includes one or more aerosol-generating capsules, which are confined to a fixed or limited area by a model structure. This effectively improves smoke production and product quality stability during long-term storage, while also reducing draw resistance and enhancing the vaping experience.

[0037] In some embodiments, the model structure may be fixed at a designated location in the aerosol-generated article, or may be movable within a certain section.

[0038] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating capsules may be arranged in a regular or irregular manner in the fixed area or the active area, and the embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0039] In some embodiments, the model structure may be made of heat-resistant material that can withstand temperatures of at least 300°C without softening or releasing harmful substances; preferably 250°C without softening or releasing harmful substances.

[0040] In some embodiments, the model structural component may be made of heat-resistant fiber material or rigid material. Depending on the material, the processing technology of the model structural component may also vary, and the processing technology may include, but is not limited to, any of the following: injection molding, extrusion, compression molding, etc.

[0041] The following examples illustrate the aerosol-generated products provided by this invention in detail.

[0042] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of an aerosol-generated product provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0043] In this example, the aerosol generating article 10 includes an aerosol generating matrix section 101, and may further include a limiting member 102 and / or a filter section 103. The limiting member 102 is adjacent to the end of the aerosol generating matrix section 101 away from the end of the aerosol generating article 100, and the filter section 103 may be adjacent to or spaced at a certain distance from the limiting member 102.

[0044] In other embodiments, the limiting member 102 or the filter section 103 may not be provided. For example, the filter section 103 may be directly adjacent to the end of the aerosol generating matrix section 101 that is away from the end of the aerosol generating article 10.

[0045] The aerosol generating matrix section 101 includes multiple smoke-generating capsules 104. The aerosol generating capsules 104 are confined in the aerosol generating matrix section 101 by the model structure 109, and the model structure 109 is confined in the aerosol generating matrix section 101 by the limiting member 102.

[0046] In some embodiments, the position of the model structure 109 can be fixed, for example, it can be fixed on the end face of the limiting member 102 adjacent to the aerosol generating matrix section 101.

[0047] In some embodiments, the position of the model structure 109 can be movable, for example, it can move freely within the aerosol generation matrix segment 101.

[0048] The model structure 109 can isolate the aerosol generating capsules 104 and form multiple specific regions. In specific implementations, the model structure 109 can have various shapes and structures, and the spatial size and shape of different specific regions can be the same or different. In addition, the arrangement of the aerosol generating capsules 104 in these specific regions can be regular or irregular.

[0049] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of some structural components of the model in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0050] The model structural component 109 may consist only of the partition frame 91, such as... Figure 2 As shown in (a).

[0051] Furthermore, fixing plates 92 can be provided at one or both ends of the partition frame 91, such as... Figure 2 As shown in (b) and (c). The end face of the fixing plate 92 can be circular, elliptical, square, rhomboid, etc., and this embodiment of the invention does not limit it. The surface shape and thickness of the two fixing plates 92 disposed at both ends of the separator 91 can be the same or different.

[0052] Furthermore, an airflow channel is provided on the fixed plate 92, which allows airflow to pass through and should have low air resistance.

[0053] Furthermore, there may be one or more airflow channels, which can be distributed on the end face of the fixed plate 92 and at a certain distance from the circumferential edge of the end face, such as... Figure 2 As shown in (b) and (c).

[0054] like Figure 3 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of some structural components of the model in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0055] The model structural component 209 in this example also includes a partition 91, and may also include a fixing plate 92 at one end of the partition 91. Figure 2 The difference between the embodiments shown is that, Figure 3 In the example shown, the separator 91 is also fixedly connected to the limiting member 93, thereby simultaneously fixing the position of the model structure when the limiting member 93 is fixed to the tube of the aerosol-generated product. Additionally, Figure 3 In the example shown, multiple airflow channels are distributed not only on the end face of the fixed plate 92, but also on the end face of the limiting member 93, such as... Figure 3 As shown in (a), (b) and (c), Figure 3 (c) is a schematic diagram of the structure after the capsule is filled.

[0056] Continue to refer to Figure 1In some embodiments, the limiting member 102 can be a prefabricated component with an airflow channel, or a sheet roll, or other structural component. The limiting member can be made of, but is not limited to, any of the following: plant fiber, resin, metal, etc. The airflow channel serves to reduce suction resistance and also prevents the aerosol-generating capsule 104 from passing through. The roll can be made of, but is not limited to, any of the following: paper, resin sheet (such as polylactic acid sheet), or metal sheet, etc.

[0057] The limiting component 102 can not only limit the model structure component 109, but also cool the smoke when necessary to prevent the smoke from burning the mouth.

[0058] In some embodiments, the filter section 103 may include one or more filter components. The plurality of filter components may be connected sequentially along the axial or radial direction of the filter section. The filter components may be, for example, solid, hollow, or porous filter rods, etc., and this embodiment of the invention does not limit the specific type. The filter rod may be formed from one or more fibers.

[0059] Continue to refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, a seal 105 may be provided at one end of the aerosol generating matrix section 101 near the end of the aerosol generating article 10. The seal 105 may be paper, non-woven fabric, woven fabric, or a thermally conductive material, and may be directly adhered to one end face of the aerosol generating matrix section 101. The thermally conductive material may specifically be a metal foil, such as aluminum foil, to increase thermal conductivity and reduce the heating waiting time during suction. Except in specific embodiments, the seal is generally breathable or has vent holes to ensure that airflow can enter the aerosol generating article.

[0060] like Figure 4 The diagram shown is another structural schematic of the aerosol-generated product provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] In this example, the aerosol generating article 20 includes an aerosol generating matrix section 201, and may further include a filter section 203. The aerosol generating matrix section 201 includes a plurality of aerosol generating capsules 204, which are confined in a fixed region by a model structure 209. Moreover, in this example, it is unnecessary to... Figure 1 The sealing 105 and limiting component 102, and the model structure component 209 can seal both ends of the aerosol generating matrix section 201, so that the aerosol generating capsule 204 inside the aerosol generating matrix section 201 will not leak out from both ends. The limiting component end of the model structure component can be fixed inside the tube body, and the fixing plate end is flush with the end of the aerosol generating product. There is a certain gap between the fixing plate and the tube body, but the aerosol generating capsule 204 will not leak out through the gap.

[0062] like Figure 5 As shown, is Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a model structural component in the embodiment shown.

[0063] Reference Figure 5 In (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this example, the model structure 309 includes a partition 94 and may also include a fixing plate 92 connected to the partition 94. Figure 5 In the model structure component (c), the partition frame 94 is also fixedly connected to the limiting member 93, thereby simultaneously fixing the position of the model structure component when the limiting member 93 is fixed to the tube body of the aerosol-generated product. Additionally... Figure 5 In the example shown, heating channels are provided at the axial center of both the fixed plate 92 and the partition frame 94 to facilitate the insertion of the central heating element of the heating appliance. Although not explicitly shown in the figure, through holes can also be provided on the heating channels to allow the heat from the heating element within the channels to be transferred more quickly to the aerosol generating capsules. The cross-section of the heating channels can be any one or more of the following, including but not limited to: circular, elliptical, rhomboid, triangular, polygonal, irregular closed shapes, etc., as long as the central heating element can be inserted smoothly.

[0064] Simultaneously refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 To prevent the aerosol-generating capsule 204 from leaking out through the airflow channels at both ends of the model structure, Figure 4 In the structural design shown, the maximum aperture of the airflow channel can be designed to be smaller than the minimum particle size of the aerosol generating capsule 204 to ensure that the aerosol generating capsule 204 does not enter the airflow channel.

[0065] In the above embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the airflow channels may be the same or different. The airflow channels form one or more airflow channels within the model structure, and the airflow channels extend through both ends of the model structure.

[0066] In specific implementation, the cross-sectional shape of the airflow channel can be any one or more of the following, but is not limited to: circular, elliptical, rhomboid, triangular, polygonal, irregular closed shape, etc.

[0067] When using this aerosol-generating product, it can be placed on a suitable heated smoking device. Heating causes the aerosol-generating capsules to rupture, generating aerosols. Compared to existing products using reconstituted tobacco leaves or shredded tobacco as core materials, this effectively increases the product's smoke output. Furthermore, the limiting effect of the mold structure on the aerosol-generating capsules prevents an increase in the aerosol-generating product's draw resistance.

[0068] In specific implementations, the shape of the aerosol generating capsules can be circular, elliptical, etc., and the particle size of different aerosol generating capsules can be the same or different; this embodiment of the invention does not limit this. For example, in some non-limiting embodiments, the particle size of the aerosol generating capsules can be designed to be 1-3 mm, and in some specific embodiments, the particle size of the aerosol generating capsules can preferably be 1.5-2.5 mm, for example, 2 mm.

[0069] Depending on the particle size of the aerosol generating capsules and the length of the aerosol generating matrix segment, the number or weight of aerosol generating capsules filling the aerosol generating matrix segment will vary. For example, in some embodiments, the filling amount of aerosol generating capsules is 5 to 100 capsules, preferably 15 to 30 capsules, and in some specific embodiments, more than 20 capsules are preferred. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the filling amount of aerosol generating capsules is 0.05 to 0.5 g, preferably 0.1 to 0.3 g.

[0070] In the aerosol-generating articles provided in the embodiments of the present invention, the aerosol-generating articles can have a relatively low heating release temperature. For example, in some embodiments, the heating release temperature of the aerosol-generating articles can be 180–280°C; in some embodiments, the heating release temperature of the aerosol-generating articles can be 220–260°C, for example, 230°C, 240°C, 250°C, etc. The amount of aerosol released by the smoking capsule will vary at different heating temperatures.

[0071] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating matrix segment may contain only the aforementioned aerosol generating capsules and not other aerosol generating materials besides the aerosol generating capsules.

[0072] In some embodiments, the length of the aerosol generating matrix segment can be set arbitrarily, for example, it can be 10% to 60% of the total length of the aerosol generating article.

[0073] In some embodiments, the core material of the aerosol-generating capsule mainly comprises a smoke-generating agent, the main components of which include PG and / or glycerin (VG). The core material can be a paste, a colloid, or a solid-liquid mixture.

[0074] In some embodiments, the shell material of the aerosol generating capsule may be a thermosetting resin, such as epoxy resin cured under a photoinitiator.

[0075] In some embodiments, the shell material of the aerosol-generating capsule may include, but is not limited to, any one or more of the following colloidal substances: plant gums, animal gums, microbial gums, starch, starch modifiers, etc. The animal gums may be, for example, gelatin, fish glue, or chitosan, etc., and the plant gums may be, for example, carrageenan, sodium alginate, gellan gum, or tamarind gum, etc.

[0076] The thickness of the shell of the aerosol generating capsule can be, for example, 30 to 150 μm, specifically 50 μm, 80 μm, 100 μm, 120 μm, 140 μm, etc.

[0077] The aerosol-generating capsules used in the embodiments of the present invention can be prepared by a variety of methods, such as one of the following methods.

[0078] Heat 40 parts by weight of sunflower seed oil to 100°C, and while stirring, add 7.1 parts by weight of ethyl cellulose, 1.4 parts by weight of beeswax, and 2.1 parts by weight of palm wax. Dissolve and mix evenly, cool to 60°C, and add 24 parts by weight of propylene glycol, 16 parts by weight of glycerol, 2.4 parts by weight of surfactant (prepared from Tween 80 and glyceryl monooleate in a weight ratio of 1:9), 5 parts by weight of mango flavoring, and 2 parts by weight of nicotine salt. Stir evenly to complete the preparation of the core material.

[0079] Add 5 parts by weight of carrageenan and 3 parts by weight of gellan gum to 82 parts by weight of purified water, and heat while stirring at a temperature of 60-90°C to form a homogeneous solution. Add 10 parts by weight of glycerol and stir until homogeneous to prepare the film solution.

[0080] Using a concentric dropper, the core material (inner layer) and film liquid are dripped into the cooling liquid (MCT) while the temperature is controlled at 10℃~25℃ to form wet capsules. The capsules are then stored at -10℃~10℃ for 10 hours and dried at 20~30℃ and 20%~50% humidity to obtain capsule products with a particle size of 2mm and a wall thickness of 70μm.

[0081] The aerosol-generated products provided in this invention are highly versatile and can be adapted to various heating devices, such as needle-type, plate-type ceramic heating element devices, and air-heated devices.

[0082] During product manufacturing, different tastes and smoking effects can be created by adjusting parameters such as the length of the core segment, the density of the smoke capsule arrangement, and the particle size, to meet the needs and experiences of different smokers.

[0083] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
