Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of heat-without-combustion technology, and in particular to a packaging structure, combination and traceability system for an aerosol-generating product. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of new tobacco products, countries have gradually improved their regulatory laws and regulations on tobacco and nicotine products. In order to combat illegal transactions in this category, product traceability is becoming increasingly important.

[0003] During production, the manufacturer will print or paste the package box traceability code on the outer surface of the package box, enter the traceability code information into the system, and then put the package box into the strip box for sealing and packaging. At the same time, the strip box is also provided with a strip box traceability code on the outer surface of the strip box, which is bound to the package box traceability code, so that the strip box traceability code can also be used for verification and tax payment in the links such as logistics providers or sellers. Since the strip boxes are all airtight, it is necessary to collect the package box traceability code before the package box is placed in the strip box. However, in some cases, when the package box is placed in the strip box or in the subsequent packaging steps, problems such as defective products will occur, and some packages need to be removed and manually decoded, that is, the package box traceability code is untied from the strip box traceability code, and the entered traceability code information is eliminated in the system. Otherwise, garbled codes will be caused, for example, the binding relationship between the strip box and the package box is disordered, the number of package box traceability codes is insufficient, and one strip box traceability code is bound to an excessive number of package box traceability codes, etc. Therefore, in the existing production process, the traceability binding operation is quite cumbersome, especially when defective packages or tobacco products need to be replaced, which wastes a lot of time on shutdown, decoding and other operations.

Wherein similar elements in different embodiments adopt associated similar element numbers. In the following embodiments, many detailed descriptions are intended to enable the present application to be better understood. However, those skilled in the art can easily recognize that some of the features can be omitted in different situations, or can be replaced by other elements, materials, and methods. In some cases, some operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification, in order to avoid the core part of the present application being overwhelmed by too much description, and for those skilled in the art, it is not necessary to describe these related operations in detail, and they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and the general technical knowledge in the art.

[0025] In addition, the features, operations or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any appropriate manner to form various implementations. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can also be interchanged or adjusted in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and the drawings are only for the purpose of clearly describing a certain embodiment and are not meant to be a required sequence, unless otherwise specified that a certain sequence must be followed.

[0026] The serial numbers assigned to the components herein, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the objects described and do not have any order or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in this application, unless otherwise specified, include direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0027] Aiming at the problem that the traceability binding operation of the existing aerosol-generating product packaging structure is cumbersome, in this application, by setting a display area on the second packaging, the traceability information of the first packaging is directly bound by scanning the first mark displayed through the display area, which has the advantages of simple structure and convenient traceability binding operation.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 In one embodiment, an aerosol generating product packaging structure is provided, which mainly includes a plurality of first packaging objects 10 and a second packaging object 20.

[0029] The first packaging object 10 is used to package an aerosol generating product (not shown) and can be stored in the second packaging object 20 .

[0030] Each first package 10 is configured to carry at least one aerosol generating product. A first mark 11 is provided on the outer surface of each first package 10 for binding as traceability information for subsequent traceability.

[0031] The second package 20 can contain all the first packages 10 and is provided with a light-transmitting display area 21. The position of the display area 21 corresponds to the position of the first logo 11 to display the first logo 11. It can be understood that the light-transmitting display area 21 can be a transparent or translucent area that can display the first logo 11.

[0032] A second mark 22 is provided on the outer surface of the second package 20. The second mark 22 can be used to bind with the first mark 11, so that the first package 10 and the second package 20 can be associated, and defects such as replacement and counterfeiting of the first package 10 can be avoided.

[0033] When traceability binding is required, it is only necessary to directly bind the traceability information of the first package 10 by scanning the first mark 11 displayed through the display area 21. It is also possible to establish a binding relationship between the two in the background by scanning the first mark 11 and the second mark 22. Since the first package 10 is loaded into the second package 20, the first mark 11 is always displayed to the outside through the display area 21. Therefore, it is not necessary to collect the information of the first mark 11 before the first package 10 is loaded into the second package 20. After all the first packages 10 are loaded into the second package 20, they are confirmed to be qualified products, and then the first mark 11 is scanned and entered into the system through the display area 21. Therefore, even if the first package 10 needs to be replaced due to packaging defects or problems with the aerosol generating product, it is only necessary to set the first mark 11 on the outer surface of the new first package 10.

[0034] Since the operations of collecting information on the first identification 11 and binding to establish an association relationship are performed after the first package 10 is loaded into the second package 20, the uniqueness of the association relationship between the first identification 11 and the second identification 22 is guaranteed. Therefore, the operation of scanning and binding before packaging in the prior art is avoided, that is, there is no need to perform unbinding operations. Therefore, the present application has the advantages of simple structure and convenient traceability and binding operations.

[0035] In one embodiment, the first identification 11 is a first traceability code printed or pasted on the outer surface of the first package 10. The second identification 22 is a second traceability code printed or pasted on the outer surface of the second package 20 for associating with the first traceability code. In some embodiments, the first traceability code and the second traceability code may be two-dimensional codes. The aerosol-generated product traceability system scans and identifies the first traceability code and the second traceability code, and then the first package 10 and the second package 20 can be bound. Of course, the first traceability code and the second traceability code may also be other readable codes.

[0036] Among them, the traceability code can record, but is not limited to, product raw materials, production, inspection, packaging and transportation, sales and agency, as well as user and after-sales information, so that all product information can be traced from the information throughout the product life cycle, the authenticity can be checked, and the source can be traced. In some areas, regulatory agencies will issue a certain number of traceability codes based on the number of tobacco products. The issuance of traceability codes can control the number of tobacco products, thereby avoiding the proliferation of tobacco products, and taxes can be collected based on the issuance of traceability codes. Consumers can also read the information of the traceability code to identify whether the tobacco products are genuine, whether they have paid taxes, the batch generated, the time, etc. This requires that the tobacco products produced by the manufacturer need to correspond to the traceability code one by one.

[0037] In one embodiment, the second package 20 is provided with a hollow window 212 corresponding to the display area 21. The position of the hollow window 212 corresponds to the position of the first mark 11 of the first package 10, so that the first mark 11 can be read through the hollow window 212 by a reading device, such as a scanner. By directly providing the hollow window 212 on the second package 20, the structure is simple and easy to produce. It is also easy to observe when the first package 10 is loaded.

[0038] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the second package 20 includes a transparent or translucent sealing layer 23 provided at the hollow window 212 and covering the hollow window 212. The provision of the sealing layer 23 can ensure that the second package 20 is in a sealed state, and prevent the first package 10 placed therein from being damaged or damp. In some embodiments, the sealing layer 23 can be a transparent or translucent plastic film. Of course, it can also be a transparent or translucent sealing layer 23 made of other materials.

[0039] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the second packaging material 20 may be wrapped with a transparent or translucent layer. The transparent or translucent layer may be a transparent or translucent plastic film or other transparent or translucent material. The transparent or translucent layer may protect the entire second packaging material 20 from being easily affected by moisture, damage, etc., and at the same time, the hollow window 212 may be exposed to facilitate the reading device to read the information of the first identification 11.

[0040] In one embodiment, a plurality of first packages 10 are stored side by side in a second package 20. In addition, the first identifiers 11 are displayed side by side on the same side of the second package 20, so that it is convenient to scan and read information on the same side, thereby improving the efficiency of the reading operation. In some embodiments, the first identifiers 11 of all first packages 10 are in the same position. In other embodiments, the first identifiers 11 of different first packages 10 can be in different positions, forming a staggered arrangement.

[0041] In one embodiment, the display area 21 is a continuous display window 211. The length direction of the display window 211 is the same as the arrangement direction of the first packaging 10, and all the first identifications 11 can be displayed at the same time, so that when binding the aerosol generating product traceability system, all the first identifications 11 can be scanned at the same time, or they can be scanned one by one, which is convenient for the operator to observe and scan.

[0042] In one embodiment, if Figure 3As shown, the display area 21 may also be a plurality of separate display windows 211. Each display window 211 corresponds to the position of at least one first mark 11, so that the positions of different first marks 11 can be adapted; moreover, the size of a single display window 211 can be prevented from being too large, thereby reducing the strength of the second packaging 20.

[0043] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the first packages 10 are stacked in two rows, and the second packages 20 are provided with display areas 21 for displaying the first identifiers 11 of each row of the first packages 10. The first identifiers 11 of each row of the first packages 10 face the corresponding display areas 21. Correspondingly, the display areas 21 are divided into two groups, which are located on the opposite side surfaces of the second packages 20 and are arranged opposite to the positions of the two rows of first identifiers 11. The stacking arrangement of the first packages 10 can reduce the length, and when the second packages 20 are loaded, the length of the second packages 20 can also be reduced, so that it is convenient for users to carry.

[0044] In one embodiment, the first packaging material 10 and the second packaging material 20 may be packaging boxes made of various materials such as paper boxes, iron boxes, and plastic boxes.

[0045] In one embodiment, the shape of the display area 21 may include but is not limited to square, rectangle, circle, semicircle, ellipse, semi-ellipse, trapezoid, parallelogram and / or irregular shape, etc., as long as the first logo 11 of the first package 10 can be exposed.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 5 In one embodiment, an aerosol generating product packaging combination is also provided, which mainly includes a third packaging material 30 and aerosol generating product packaging structures in any of the above embodiments.

[0047] Among them, several second packaging objects 20 can be arranged side by side in the third packaging object 30 to form a larger package for easy transportation. A third mark 31 can also be provided on the outer surface of the third packaging object 30. The third mark 31 can be bound to the second mark 22 for subsequent traceability.

[0048] When packing, the second package is placed in the third package in sequence, and then the second identification information and the third identification information are read by a scanning device and bound to form bound traceability information.

[0049] In one embodiment, an aerosol generating product traceability system is further provided, comprising an aerosol generating product packaging structure of any of the above embodiments and a server. The server is configured to store a binding relationship between a first identifier and a second identifier of the aerosol generating product packaging structure, and traceability information corresponding to the first identifier and the second identifier.

[0050] When a traceability query is needed, the information of the first identifier and the second identifier can be read through a terminal, such as but not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet, a scanning terminal, etc., the terminal establishes a communication connection with the server, and calls the traceability information and binding relationship corresponding to the first identifier and the second identifier, and displays them on the terminal, thereby realizing product traceability.

[0051] In one embodiment, the server may also be configured to store traceability information corresponding to the third identifier, a binding relationship between the third identifier and the second identifier, and the like.

[0052] Similarly, the information of the second identifier and the third identifier can be read through a terminal, such as but not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet, a scanning terminal, etc., the terminal establishes a communication connection with the server, and the traceability information and binding relationship corresponding to the second identifier and the third identifier are called and displayed on the terminal, thereby realizing product traceability.

[0053] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, a traceability method is also provided, which can adopt the aerosol generating product packaging structure, combination and traceability system of any of the above embodiments. The method comprises the following steps: first identification marks 11 are respectively provided on the outer surfaces of a plurality of first packages 10. A second identification mark 22 is provided on the outer surface of a second package 20. A plurality of first packages 10 are loaded into the second package 20, and the first identification mark 11 is displayed through the display area 21 of the second package 20. The first identification mark 11 is associated with the second identification mark 22.

[0054] When traceability binding is required, it is only necessary to directly bind the traceability information of the first package by collecting the first identifier displayed through the display area, which has the advantages of simple structure and convenient traceability binding operation.

[0055] In one embodiment, the first mark 11 can be set on the outer surface of the first package 10 by printing, pasting, etc. It can be understood that the information contained in the first mark 11 of each first package 10 can be the same or related information; it can also be bound with the traceability information when entering the system to establish an association.

[0056] The second mark 22 can be set on the outer surface of the second packaging 20 by printing, pasting, etc. It can be understood that the information contained in the first mark 11 of the second packaging 20 can include information associated with the first mark 11; it can also be bound to the traceability information when entering the system to establish an association.

[0057] The first identification 11 is collected through the display area 21, and after confirming that the first package 10 and the aerosol production product therein are qualified products, the traceability information of the first package 10 is bound. In some embodiments, all the first identifications 11 of all the first packages 10 are read sequentially or simultaneously through a terminal, such as but not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet, a scanning terminal, etc., and a communication connection is established with the server, the first identification 11 is entered into the aerosol generating product traceability system, and the first identification 11 is bound to the traceability information of the first package 10, and stored in the aerosol generating product traceability system of the server for subsequent traceability query. In the subsequent traceability query, the user can scan the first identification 11 to call the traceability information bound to the first identification 11, such as product raw materials, production, inspection, packaging and transportation, sales and agency, as well as user and after-sales information, so that all product information can be traced from the information in the entire life cycle of the product, the authenticity can be checked, and the source can be traced.

[0058] The second identifier 22 is collected and the traceability information of the second packaging 20 is bound. In some embodiments, the second identifiers 22 of all the second packaging 20 are read through a terminal, such as but not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet, a scanning terminal, etc., and a communication connection is established with the server, the second identifier 22 is entered into the aerosol generating product traceability system, and the second identifier 22 is bound to the traceability information of the second packaging 20 and stored in the server for subsequent traceability query.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first identifier 11 and the second identifier 22 may be bound to establish an association relationship and stored in the server. It is understandable that the above steps may be performed in parallel or in a sequence as required.

[0060] By implementing this method, the first package 10 can be completely loaded into the second package 20, and after confirming that it is a qualified product, the information of the first identification 11 and the second identification 22 can be collected, and then operations such as binding and storage on the server can be performed. This avoids the need in the prior art to scan, bind the traceability code, and store it on the server before the first package 10 is loaded into the second package 20. Therefore, when the first package 10 or the aerosol generating product in the first package 10 needs to be replaced, this method only needs to set the first identification 11 on the outer surface of the new first package 10, and then load the updated first package 10 into the second package 20. After the loading is completed, scanning, binding, storage and other operations can be performed without the need for cumbersome unbinding operations, which has the advantages of high efficiency and convenient traceability binding operations.

[0061] In one embodiment, if Figure 7As shown, the method further includes setting a third mark 31 on the outer surface of the third packaging 30. It can be understood that the third mark 31 can be set on the outer surface of the third packaging 30 by printing, pasting, etc.

[0062] Several second packages 20 are arranged side by side in a third package 30. The third identifier 31 is collected and the traceability information of the third package 30 is bound. In some embodiments, the third identifiers 31 of all third packages 30 are read through a terminal, such as but not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet, a scanning terminal, etc., and a communication connection is established with a server, and the third identifier 31 is bound to the traceability information of the third package 30 and stored in the server for subsequent traceability query.

[0063] In some embodiments, the third identifier 31 and the second identifier 22 may be bound to establish an association relationship and stored in the server.

[0064] The above specific examples are used to illustrate the present application, which is only used to help understand the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For technicians in the technical field to which the present application belongs, they can also make some simple deductions, deformations or substitutions based on the ideas of the present application.
