Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cigarette filter rod production technology, specifically relating to a ternary composite filter tip that improves the comfort of ultra-low tar cigarettes. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing public concern about health, reducing tar and harm in cigarettes has become a social consensus, and the demand for cigarettes is gradually shifting towards lower tar and lower harm. The filter rod, as an important component of the cigarette, is a crucial tool for reducing tar and harm in cigarettes. Currently, low-tar cigarette filters mainly achieve this through one or a combination of technologies such as high ventilation, grooved structures, and high-adsorption materials. CN201020628013.0 discloses a composite tar-reducing filter rod using cellulose acetate filter rods and grooved paper as substrates. CN201310044906.9 discloses a composite filter rod using cellulose acetate tow and tourmaline as substrates. While these technologies have some effect on reducing cigarette tar, the smoke undergoes significant dilution and retention, resulting in a dry feeling and a decrease in the physiological satisfaction and aroma quality. CN201310226981.7 discloses a method for preparing a flavor-enhancing composite filter rod with a sustained-release aroma substance based on polyethylene glycol. While this method can enhance the aroma of low-tar cigarettes, it does not address the physiological satisfaction and sensory comfort associated with inhaling the smoke.

[0003] Currently, most cigarette filters are simple, solid cylinders made of cellulose acetate tow, with a simple form and basic structure. As an important component of cigarettes, cigarette filters, with their unique and novel appearance, can not only meet consumers' personalized and diverse needs but also serve as an important window for conveying brand image. Therefore, cigarette filters should also evolve from simply reducing tar and harm to having multiple functions. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ternary composite filter tip that improves the comfort of ultra-low tar cigarettes. This filter tip has the functions of reducing tar while ensuring the physiological satisfaction of smoking, improving the comfort and aroma quality of smoke, and improving the state of smoke. It also has a novel appearance, so as to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application employs the following technical solution:

[0006] A three-element composite filter tip for improving the comfort of ultra-low tar cigarettes is composed of a paper filter rod segment, a quality-enhancing and aroma-enhancing segment, a shaped hollow core segment, and a forming paper. From the tobacco end to the inlet end, the segments are paper filter rod segment, quality-enhancing and aroma-enhancing segment, and shaped hollow core segment, and are wrapped and fixed by forming paper.

[0007] Furthermore, the paper filter rod segment is composed of crepe paper prepared by embossing and creping wood pulp paper, and packaging paper that wraps the crepe paper into shape.

[0008] Furthermore, the crepe paper has a specification of 36g / m³. 2 *90mm.

[0009] Furthermore, the quality-enhancing and flavor-enhancing section is a cellulose acetate tow with added flavor-enhancing particles.

[0010] Furthermore, flavoring particles are composed of one or more types of flavorings, including tobacco aroma, floral aroma, and fruity aroma, plus a humectant.

[0011] Furthermore, the irregular hollow section is an acetate fiber with a cavity in the axial direction, and the cavity runs through the entire irregular hollow section.

[0012] Furthermore, the cross-section of the cavity is leaf-shaped or brand logo-shaped.

[0013] Furthermore, on the tipping paper that wraps the ternary composite filter tip and the tobacco shreds, there are single or double rows of ventilation holes arranged circumferentially at the position opposite to the ternary composite filter tip.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. The flavor enhancement section adds flavor-enhancing particles of different flavors, which can not only make up for the loss of aroma during the smoking process of cigarettes, but also enrich the aroma types and achieve the effect of enhancing the flavor of the smoke.

[0016] 2. The irregularly shaped hollow section can change the state of the smoke entering the mouth, bringing a richer oral experience. In addition, the hollow structure can be designed into various shapes, such as cigarette leaf shape or brand trademark shape, to achieve the purpose of novel and unique appearance, which is also an important window to convey the brand image to consumers.

[0017] 3. Compared with high-ventilation dilution, medium-ventilation dilution can reduce the proportion of air in the smoke, increase the smoke flow rate, and increase the amount of aroma inhalation, thereby improving the aroma quality and comfort of ultra-low tar cigarettes.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are merely exemplary and can only be used to explain and illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting the technical solution of this utility model.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides a ternary composite filter tip for improving the comfort of ultra-low tar cigarettes, which is composed of a paper filter rod segment 2, a quality-enhancing and aroma-enhancing segment 3, a shaped hollow segment 4, and forming paper. From the tobacco end to the inlet end, the segments are paper filter rod segment, quality-enhancing and aroma-enhancing segment, and shaped hollow segment, and are wrapped and fixed by forming paper.

[0024] The axial length of the ternary composite filter tip in this application is 30 mm, wherein the paper filter rod segment is 15 mm long, the quality-enhancing and aroma-enhancing segment is 8 mm long, and the irregularly shaped hollow segment is 7 mm long. In this application, the irregularly shaped hollow segment is a leaf-shaped hollow segment. The paper filter rod segment consists of crepe paper made from wood pulp paper through embossing and creping, and packaging paper wrapped around the crepe paper. The crepe paper has a specification of 36 g / m³. 2 *90mm. The flavor-enhancing section consists of cellulose acetate tow with added flavor-enhancing particles. The flavor-enhancing particles are composed of one or more types of fragrances selected from tobacco aroma, floral aroma, and fruity aroma, plus a humectant. In this embodiment, the flavor-enhancing particles are composed of Zimbabwean tobacco extract plus a humectant. The particle application rate is 1mg / mm, and the tow specification is 8.0Y15000. The flavor-enhancing particles not only compensate for the aroma loss during cigarette smoking but also enhance the tobacco aroma, thus improving the quality and aroma of the smoke. The shaped hollow section consists of cellulose acetate with a cavity 41 along its axial direction. The cavity 41 extends throughout the entire cellulose acetate section. The cross-section of the cavity 41 is leaf-shaped. In other embodiments of this application, the cross-section of the cavity 41 can be other shapes, such as the shape of a brand trademark.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, this application also provides a cigarette using the above-mentioned ternary composite filter, specifically including a tobacco section and a ternary composite filter section. On the tipping paper wrapping the ternary composite filter and the tobacco section, a single or double row of ventilation holes are arranged circumferentially at the position opposite to the ternary composite filter, so as to achieve ventilation of 62%-68% for the ternary composite filter section and a pressure drop of 4500-5200Pa.

[0026] The specific working principle is as follows:

[0027] When the tobacco section 1 burns, it produces smoke. The smoke first passes through the paper filter section 2. The paper fiber structure has a significantly better adsorption effect than cellulose acetate, effectively adsorbing harmful substances such as tar in the smoke, thus achieving the purpose of reducing tar and harm. The smoke then passes through the quality-enhancing and aroma-enhancing section 3. While the cellulose acetate further filters harmful components in the smoke, the aroma-enhancing particles in the cellulose acetate slowly release aroma, playing a role in enhancing quality, aroma, and moisture retention. Finally, the smoke passes through the leaf-shaped hollow section. The hollow structure can change the state of the smoke, bringing a richer oral experience. In this embodiment, the ventilation of the ternary composite filter section can achieve 62% mouth ventilation through 600cu plasma perforated tipping paper (perforation width 8mm, 12mm from the mouth tip). The medium-ventilation dilution perforation technology can reduce the proportion of air in traditional ultra-low tar smoke, increase the smoke flow rate, and increase the amount of aroma inhaled. While reducing tar, it ensures the physiological satisfaction of smoking, thereby improving the aroma quality and comfort of ultra-low tar cigarettes.

[0028] As can be seen from the above, this utility model provides a ternary composite filter and cigarette that improves the comfort of ultra-low tar cigarettes. It has the functions of reducing tar while ensuring the physiological satisfaction of smoking, improving the comfort and aroma quality of smoke, and improving the state of smoke. Moreover, the hollow structure can be designed into various shapes, such as cigarette leaf shape or brand trademark shape, which not only achieves the purpose of novel and unique appearance, but also serves as an important window to convey the brand image to consumers.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
