Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cigarette heating technology, and in particular to a smoking device, cigarette, and cigarette heating system. Background Technology

[0002] Heated cigarettes are a new development trend in the tobacco industry in recent years. They generate and release smoke aerosols by heating the smoke-generating material at low temperatures.

[0003] Currently, the most common heating method for heated cigarettes is center heating, which typically requires inserting the heating element from the heating device into the smoke-generating section of the cigarette to produce an aerosol. The smoke-generating section of heated cigarettes is usually filled with a smoke-generating material. When the heated cigarette is removed after smoking, this material may separate from the cigarette due to its tight bond with the heating element and remain inside the heating chamber. Furthermore, some heating byproducts may also remain on the heating element or inside the heating chamber, leading to frequent cleaning of both, complicated operation, and a poor user experience.

[0010] In one embodiment, the connecting assembly includes a connector and a mating component, the connector being fitted onto the heating element, the mating component being fitted onto the inner wall of the heating cavity, and the connector and the mating component being detachably connected.

[0011] When the heating element is subjected to an external force, the heating element can cause the connecting member to shift relative to the mating member.

[0012] In one embodiment, both the connector and the mating member are magnetic.

[0013] In one embodiment, the device further includes a smoking utensil splitter, which is a magnetic component, and the magnetic attraction between the smoking utensil splitter and the connector is greater than the magnetic attraction between the connector and the mating component.

[0014] In one embodiment, the end of the heating element near the communication port is configured as a tip.

[0015] A cigarette for use in the smoking device as described in the foregoing embodiments includes a smoke-generating section filled with a smoke-generating material, wherein the outer diameter of the smoke-generating section is not greater than the inner diameter of the heating cavity.

[0016] In one embodiment, it further includes a blocking section, which is connected to one end of the smoke-generating section along a first direction, and a connecting channel is formed through the blocking section along the first direction;

[0017] Wherein, the outer diameter of the smoke-generating section is equal to the outer diameter of the blocking section; and the inner diameter of the connecting channel is greater than the outer diameter of the heating element.

[0018] In one embodiment, the depth of the heating chamber is greater than the sum of the lengths of the smoke-generating section and the sealing section along the first direction; and the length of the heating element is not less than the sum of the lengths of the smoke-generating section and the sealing section along the first direction.

[0020] A cigarette heating system includes a smoking device as described in the foregoing embodiments and a cigarette as described in the foregoing embodiments.

[0021] In the aforementioned smoking devices, cigarettes, and cigarette heating systems, during actual use, the smoking section of the heated cigarette needs to be inserted into the heating chamber through the connecting port, ensuring the heating element is inserted into the corresponding smoking section. This guarantees contact between the heating element and the smoking material within the smoking section, generating heat to heat the material and produce an aerosol. After the user finishes smoking, the heated cigarette needs to be removed from the heating chamber. Furthermore, the user can remove the heating element from the housing for cleaning and maintenance, ensuring the hygiene and safety of the heated smoking device and improving the user experience.

[0040] Heated cigarettes are a new development trend in the tobacco industry in recent years. They generate and release smoke aerosols by heating the smoke-generating material at low temperatures.

[0041] Currently, the most common heating method for heated cigarettes is center heating, which typically requires inserting the heating element from the heating device into the smoke-generating section of the cigarette to produce an aerosol. The smoke-generating section of heated cigarettes is usually filled with a smoke-generating material. When the heated cigarette is removed after smoking, this material may separate from the cigarette due to its tight bond with the heating element and remain inside the heating chamber. Furthermore, some heating byproducts may also remain on the heating element or inside the heating chamber, leading to frequent cleaning of both, complicated operation, and a poor user experience.

[0042] Therefore, to resolve the above issues, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a heating smoke appliance 100 in one or more embodiments, which uses a connecting component 12 to realize a detachable connection between the heating element 11 and the housing 10, so that the heating element 11 can be disassembled and assembled after the heating element 11 has completed the heating of the smoke generation section 20, and the heating element 11 can be easily cleaned and maintained, thereby ensuring the hygiene and safety of the heating smoke appliance 100 and improving the user experience.

[0043] Specifically, the heated tobacco device 100 includes a housing 10, a heating element 11, and a connecting assembly 12. A heating cavity 101 extending longitudinally is formed within the housing 10, and a communication port 102 communicating with the heating cavity 101 is provided at one end of the housing 10 along its longitudinal direction. The heating element 11 is fitted into the heating cavity 101 and is used to heat the heated cigarette 200 inserted into the heating cavity 101. The connecting assembly 12 is detachably connected between the heating element 11 and the bottom wall of the heating cavity 101.

[0044] Understandably, in the specific use of the heated tobacco device 100, the smoke-generating section 20 of the heated tobacco needs to be inserted into the heating chamber 101 through the connecting port 102, and the heating element 11 can be inserted into the smoke-generating section 20 of the heated tobacco to ensure that the heating element 11 can contact the smoke-generating material filled in the smoke-generating section 20, and then generate heat with the heating element 11 to heat the smoke-generating material to generate aerosol.

[0045] After the user finishes smoking, the heated cigarette 200 needs to be pulled out of the heating chamber 101. Furthermore, the user can remove the heating element 11 from the housing 10 for cleaning and maintenance, thereby ensuring the hygiene and safety of the heated smoking device 100 and improving the user experience.

[0046] It should be noted that when the user inserts the smoke-generating section 20 of the heated cigarette into the heating chamber 101, and the heating element 11 is also inserted into the smoke-generating section 20, the force applied by the user to the heated cigarette may cause the heated cigarette to be misaligned and deviate. Correspondingly, this force will be transmitted to the heating element 11 through the smoke-generating section 20, thereby causing the heating element 11 to bend and be damaged.

[0047] Based on this, in this application, the connecting component 12 is configured such that when the heating element 11 is subjected to an external force, the heating element 11 can drive at least a portion of the connecting component 12 to shift relative to the housing 10.

[0048] It is understandable that when the heated cigarette is subjected to a displacement force and transmitted to the heating element 11, the heating element 11 can cause at least part of the connecting component 12 to shift relative to the housing 10 under the force, thereby eliminating the influence of the force by displacement and effectively preventing the heating element 11 from bending and being damaged, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the product.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connecting assembly 12 includes a connector 121 and a mating component 122. The connector 121 is fitted onto the heating element 11, and the mating component 122 is fitted onto the inner wall of the heating cavity 101. The connector 121 and the mating component 122 are detachably connected. When the heating element 11 is subjected to an external force, the heating element 11 can cause the connector 121 to shift relative to the mating component 122.

[0050] It is understandable that after the user finishes sucking, the user can separate the connector 121 from the mating part 122 to remove the heating element 11 and the connector 121 from the housing 10, thereby facilitating the cleaning and maintenance of the heating element 11, ensuring the hygiene and safety of the heated smoke appliance 100, and improving the user experience.

[0051] Furthermore, when the heated cigarette is subjected to a displacement force and transmitted to the heating element 11, the heating element 11 and the connecting piece 121 can drive the relative mating piece 122 and the housing 10 to shift under this force, thereby eliminating the influence of the force by displacement and effectively preventing the heating element 11 from bending and being damaged, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the product.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 Both the connector 121 and the mating part 122 are magnetic.

[0053] Understandably, the specific type of magnetic attraction element is not limited; for example, the magnetic attraction element can be a permanent magnet (such as a neodymium iron boron magnet) or an electromagnet.

[0054] Specifically, in one embodiment, the magnetic attractor is a permanent magnet. The connector 121 and the mating part 122 are brought close to each other, and the magnetic field between them allows the connector 121 and the mating part 122 to attract each other, thereby achieving a fixed assembly of the housing 10 and the heating element 11. Correspondingly, by applying a force greater than the attraction force between the connector 121 and / or the heating element 11 to separate the connector 121 and the mating part 122, the housing 10 and the heating element 11 can be disassembled.

[0055] It should be noted that after the user finishes suctioning, there will be residual heat on the heating element 11. If the user holds the heating element 11 directly with their hands, there is a risk of burns. In addition, there are heating products and smoke-generating materials left on the heating element 11, which can easily make the user dirty and seriously affect the user experience.

[0056] Based on this, the heating smoke appliance 100 in this embodiment further includes a heating smoke appliance 100 splitter (not shown), the heating smoke appliance 100 splitter is a magnetic component, and the magnetic attraction force between the heating smoke appliance 100 splitter and the connector 121 is greater than the magnetic attraction force between the connector 121 and the mating component 122.

[0057] Understandably, when it is necessary to disassemble the heating element 11, the user can hold the splitter, insert it into the heating chamber 101, and move it towards the connector 121. The magnetic attraction of the splitter on the connector 121 causes the connector 121 to separate from the mating part 122, thus achieving the disassembly of the housing 10 and the heating element 11. In this way, the magnetic connector is easy to use, avoids direct contact between the user and the heating element 11, reduces the risk of burns, and effectively improves the user experience.

[0058] In another embodiment, the magnetic attractor is an electromagnet, which mainly includes a conductive coil and a ferromagnetic core. The coil generates a magnetic field by passing current through it, and the ferromagnetic core concentrates and enhances the magnetic field. Thus, when the electromagnet is energized, the connector 121 and the mating part 122 cooperate to use the magnetic field to fix the housing 10 and the heating element 11 together. Correspondingly, when the electromagnet is de-energized, the magnetic field disappears, allowing the housing 10 and the heating element 11 to be disassembled.

[0059] It should also be noted that the material of the conductive coil must meet the requirements of high conductivity and low resistance loss, and is generally made of copper, aluminum, and superconducting materials. When the conductive coil is made of copper, it exhibits superior conductivity and low heat generation. When the conductive coil is made of aluminum, it offers advantages such as light weight and low cost. Superconducting materials are generally used in special applications, possessing the characteristic of zero resistance at extremely low temperatures and the ability to carry extremely large currents.

[0060] Correspondingly, the iron core needs to possess high permeability and low coercivity, and it is generally made of materials such as soft iron, silicon steel sheets, permalloy, amorphous / nanocrystalline alloys, and ferrites. Among them, soft iron has the characteristics of high permeability, easy magnetization / demagnetization, and low cost. Silicon steel sheets have the characteristic of reducing eddy current losses. Permalloy has the characteristics of ultra-high permeability and excellent performance under weak magnetic fields. Amorphous / nanocrystalline alloys have the characteristics of extremely low coercivity and low high-frequency loss. Ferrites have the characteristics of high resistivity and good high-frequency characteristics.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The end of the heating element 11 near the communication port 102 is configured as a tip.

[0062] Understandably, the tip of the heating element 11 can reduce insertion resistance, so that the heating element 11 can be smoothly inserted into the smoke-generating section 20, while also preventing damage to the tobacco structure.

[0063] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one or more embodiments of this application, a heated cigarette 200 is also provided for use with the heated smoking device 100 as described in the foregoing embodiments. The heated cigarette 200 includes a smoke-generating section 20, which is filled with a smoke-generating material.

[0064] It is understandable that when a user needs to smoke a heated cigarette 200, the smoking section 20 of the heated cigarette needs to be inserted into the heating chamber 101 through the connecting port 102, and the heating element 11 can be inserted into the smoking section 20 of the heated cigarette to ensure that the heating element 11 can contact the smoking material filled in the smoking section 20, and then generate heat with the heating element 11 to heat the smoking material to generate aerosol.

[0065] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the heated cigarette 200, the outer diameter of the smoke-generating section 20 is not greater than the inner diameter of the heating cavity 101. This ensures that the smoke-generating section 20 can be smoothly inserted into the heating cavity 101, thus preventing the smoke-generating section 20 from being obstructed and damaged.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The heated cigarette 200 also includes a blocking section 21, which is connected to one end of the smoke-generating section 20 along the first direction, and a connecting channel 211 is formed inside the blocking section 21 along the first direction.

[0067] Understandably, during the process of inserting the smoke-generating section 20 of the heated cigarette into the heating chamber 101 through the connecting port 102, the heating element 11 can correspondingly pass through the connecting channel 211 and be inserted into the smoke-generating section 20 of the heated cigarette. When the user finishes smoking and pulls out the heating element 11, the sealing section 21 can block the smoke-generating material within the smoke-generating section 20, thereby reducing the amount of smoke-generating material carried out by the heating element 11 during separation, thus reducing waste and facilitating subsequent cleaning.

[0068] It should also be noted that the outer diameter of the smoke-generating section 20 is equal to the outer diameter of the sealing section 21, so as to ensure that the smoke-generating section 20 and the sealing section 21 can be smoothly inserted into the heating chamber 101, so as to avoid the heating cigarette 200 being obstructed and damaged.

[0069] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the connecting channel 211 is larger than the outer diameter of the heating element 11. This ensures that the heating element 11 can be smoothly inserted into the connecting channel 211, thus preventing the heating element 11 from being obstructed and damaged.

[0070] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The depth of the heating chamber 101 is greater than the sum of the lengths of the smoke-generating section 20 and the sealing section 21 along the first direction. Furthermore, the length of the heating element 11 is not less than the sum of the lengths of the smoke-generating section 20 and the sealing section 21 along the first direction. In this way, the heating element 11 can fully contact the smoke-generating material filling the smoke-generating section 20 to ensure heating effect and reduce waste of smoke-generating material.

[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The heated cigarette 200 also includes a filter section 22, which is connected to the other end of the smoke-generating section 20 along the first direction, and the filter section 22 is filled with filter material.

[0072] In one or more embodiments of this application, a heating system for heated cigarette 200 is also provided, which includes the heating device 100 as described in the foregoing embodiments and the heated cigarette 200 as described in the foregoing embodiments.

[0073] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0074] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
