AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When using existing transparent capsule filter sticks, the fragrance is completely released after the capsule is crushed, making it impossible to select the amount of fragrance released according to taste. In addition, the cavity is easily crushed and cannot bounce back, affecting the appearance.

Method used

Design a transparent microcapsule filter rod comprising solid and hollow segments arranged alternately. Each filter rod segment contains one hollow segment and two solid segments. Microcapsules are filled in the hollow segments. The filter element is made of cellulose diacetate filaments, and the encapsulation layer is made of transparent material. The microcapsules have a particle size of less than 1 mm, are numerous, and can be supplemented with pigments and fragrances.

Benefits of technology

It enables control over the amount of aroma released based on taste preferences, maintains the elasticity of the cavity, enhances the smoking experience, and improves the aroma and moisture retention of the filter rod.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette technology, specifically to a transparent filter rod with added microcapsules. Background Technology

[0002] The filter stick is an important component of cigarettes. With the continuous development of cigarettes, smokers are increasingly demanding not only higher flavor levels but also improved appearance and appeal. This has led to the emergence of transparent capsule filter sticks with visible internal components. However, existing transparent capsule filter sticks have a problem: when the capsule is broken, all the flavoring inside is released. Consumers who prefer a milder flavor cannot choose the amount of flavor released according to their taste preferences. Furthermore, in existing transparent capsule filter sticks, the capsule is located in a hollow cavity. When the capsule is broken, the cavity loses its internal support, causing it to become flat and difficult to spring back up. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a transparent microcapsule filter rod, which can control the amount of fragrance released by crushing the number of microcapsules.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: a transparent microcapsule filter rod, including a filter element and a coating layer. The filter element includes solid segments and hollow segments arranged at intervals. The hollow segments are filled with a number of microcapsules. After being cut into filter rod segments for manufacturing cigarette filters, each filter rod segment contains one hollow segment and two solid segments.

[0005] The technical advantages of this invention are as follows: A large number of microcapsules are added to the transparent cavity, allowing consumers to choose the number of capsules to break according to their taste preferences, thus easily controlling the amount of aroma released. Due to the large number of microcapsules, even if all are broken, the remaining capsule shells inside the cavity effectively support the outer packaging layer, making the packaging in the cavity easily spring back by the capsule shells and the filter fibers on both sides, preventing the cavity from collapsing and severely affecting its appearance. During smoking, the small capsule size allows consumers to repeatedly squeeze and break the cigarette filter, increasing the enjoyment of smoking. Furthermore, the addition of functional flavorings inside the capsules can enhance the aroma and moisture retention of the filter through repeated applications. Attached Figure Description

[0006] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0007] like Figure 1As shown, a transparent microcapsule filter rod includes a filter element 1 and a coating layer 2. The filter element 1 includes solid segments 3 and hollow segments 4 arranged at intervals. The hollow segments 4 are filled with a number of microcapsules 5. After being cut into filter rod segments for manufacturing cigarette filters, each filter rod segment contains one hollow segment 4 and two solid segments 3. The solid segments are located at both ends of the hollow segments and serve a sealing function.

[0008] The filter element 1 is made of cellulose diacetate filaments. The cellulose diacetate filaments on both sides can provide support, and when squeezed, the cavity can quickly spring up under the action of the cellulose diacetate filaments and microcapsules (shells).

[0009] The wrapping layer 2 is made of a transparent material. The filter element can be clearly seen through the transparent wrapping layer, making the cigarette design more diverse.

[0010] The microcapsules 5 have a particle size of less than 1 mm.

[0011] The hollow segment 4 contains more than 100 microcapsules 5. A certain amount of practical pigment can be added to the microcapsule wall to adjust its color. The microcapsule core liquid can be selected from fruit flavorings, humectants, tobacco flavorings, etc., to adjust the smoke and make it more harmonious.
