AI Technical Summary
Traditional cigarettes are affected by the external environment during storage, resulting in a decrease in moisture content, which causes the tobacco to dry out, weakens the aroma, increases impurities, and makes the flavor characteristics unstable.
A humidifying pack is placed inside the sealed food storage container. A semi-permeable polymer membrane slowly releases water molecules from the water-soluble solution adsorbed on the non-woven fabric, maintaining a stable humidity inside the sealed food storage container.
Maintaining stable humidity helps preserve the flavor of cigarettes, prevents tobacco from drying out, and enhances the smoking experience.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cigarette technology, and more specifically, to a cigarette humidification device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, after traditional cigarette products are produced and distributed to the market, some products may accumulate at the hands of merchants or consumers. Cigarettes are affected by the temperature and humidity of the external environment, and the smoking quality will be affected by the storage time. The most obvious effects are that the moisture content of cigarettes decreases, the tobacco becomes drier, the smoking aroma weakens, and the impurities and irritation increase, resulting in unstable style characteristics of cigarette products. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a cigarette humidification device, which sets a humidification pack inside a sealed food storage box. Water molecules in a water-soluble solution adsorbed on a non-woven fabric are slowly released through a polymer semi-permeable membrane, so that the humidity inside the sealed food storage box is maintained and the taste of the cigarettes inside the sealed food storage box remains unchanged.
[0004] This application provides a cigarette humidification device, including a sealed food storage box and a humidification pack positioned inside the sealed food storage box. The humidification pack includes a middle layer of non-woven fabric and a polymer semi-permeable membrane respectively disposed on both sides of the non-woven fabric. The non-woven fabric adsorbs a water-soluble solution, and the polymer semi-permeable membrane slowly releases water molecules.
[0005] Preferably, the water-soluble solution includes glycerol, propylene glycol, and distilled water.
[0006] Preferably, the lid of the sealed food storage container is a sliding type, a flip-top type, or a screw-top type.
[0007] Preferably, a sealing strip is provided between the lid and the body of the sealed food storage container.
[0008] Preferably, the sealed food storage container is in the shape of a cuboid, cylinder, or cube.
[0009] Preferably, the airtight food storage container is made of metal or polyester fiber.
[0010] Other features and advantages of this application will become clear from the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description
[0011] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the present application and, together with their description, serve to explain the principles of the present application.

[0015] Various exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present application.
[0016] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the scope of this application and its application or use.
[0017] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.
[0018] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.
[0019] This application provides a cigarette humidification device, which sets a humidification pack inside a sealed food storage box. Water molecules in a water-soluble solution adsorbed on a non-woven fabric are slowly released through a polymer semi-permeable membrane, so that the humidity inside the sealed food storage box is maintained and the taste of the cigarettes inside the sealed food storage box remains unchanged.
[0020] The cigarette humidification device provided in this application includes a sealed food storage box and a humidification pack positioned inside the sealed food storage box.
[0021] The shape of the airtight food storage container can be cuboid, cylindrical, or cubic, depending on the shape of the cigarette box being stored.
[0022] like Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the sealed food storage container 10 is a cuboid.
[0023] The lid of the airtight food storage container can be a sliding lid, a flip lid, or a screw-on lid.
[0024] like Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the lid 11 of the sealed food storage container 10 is a flip-top type.
[0025] As an example, the airtight food storage container is made of metal or polyester fiber.
[0026] Preferably, a sealing strip is provided between the lid and the body of the sealed food storage container.
[0027] The moisturizing packet is flexible, and its position within the airtight food storage container can be determined as needed, and it can be placed on the bottom, top, or inner surface of the side of the container. The moisturizing packet is positioned using a positioning mechanism, such as positioning protrusions.
[0028] As an example, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the moisturizing pack 20 includes a middle layer of non-woven fabric 23 and polymer semi-permeable membranes 21 and 22 respectively disposed on both sides of the non-woven fabric 23. The non-woven fabric 23 adsorbs a water-soluble solution (which is colorless and odorless), and the polymer semi-permeable membranes 21 and 22 slowly release water molecules.
[0029] As an example, the water-soluble solution includes glycerol, propylene glycol, distilled water, etc. Propylene glycol has strong hygroscopic properties, effectively locking in moisture and preventing the humidifier from drying out too quickly during use. It also has some antibacterial properties, helping to reduce mold growth and prevent cigarettes from becoming moldy. Because glycerol has three hydroxyl groups, it is miscible with water and has strong hygroscopic properties. Glycerol is also a colorless, transparent, odorless, viscous liquid with a sweet taste. It is non-corrosive to metals and possesses antibacterial and antiviral properties, making it suitable as a humectant in the food industry.
[0030] By utilizing the water-shrinking effect of propylene glycol and the slow release of water molecules through a polymer semi-permeable membrane, the moisture content of the air inside the sealed food storage container remains stable, ensuring that the taste of the cigarettes inside the sealed food storage container remains unchanged.
[0031] While specific embodiments of this application have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of this application. The scope of this application is defined by the appended claims.
