Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a plate-shaped tobacco article comprising an aperture. The present invention also relates to an aerosol generating device and an aerosol generating assembly associated with such an article.

[0002] In particular, the aerosol generating device according to the invention is adapted to work with, for example, a plate-shaped tobacco article according to the invention, which comprises a solid substrate capable of forming an aerosol upon heating. Thus, this type of aerosol generating device, also known as a non-heated combustion device, is adapted to generate an aerosol for inhalation by heating, rather than burning, the substrate, by conduction, convection and / or radiation. [Background technology]

[0003] The popularity and use of risk reduction or risk modification devices (also known as vaporizers) has grown rapidly in recent years as an aid to assist habitual smokers who wish to quit smoking traditional tobacco products such as cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, and rolling tobacco. A variety of devices and systems are available that heat or warm a vaporizable substance, as opposed to burning tobacco in traditional tobacco products.

[0004] A commonly available risk reduction or risk modification device is the substrate heated aerosol generating device or the heated non-combustion device. This type of device typically generates an aerosol or vapor by heating an aerosol substrate, which typically includes moist tobacco or other suitable vaporizable material, to a temperature typically ranging from 150°C to 350°C. By heating, rather than burning or combusting, the aerosol substrate, an aerosol is released that includes the ingredients desired by the user, but does not include the toxic and carcinogenic by-products of combustion and burning. Furthermore, the aerosol generated by heating tobacco or other vaporizable material typically does not include the burnt or bitter taste resulting from combustion and burning, which can be unpleasant to the user. Thus, the substrate does not require sugars and other additives that are typically added to such materials to make the smoke and / or vapor more palatable to the user.

[0005] Tobacco articles that can be used with such types of aerosol generating devices can take a variety of forms. Some of them can be elongated sticks, or any other suitable shape, such as, for example, a plate shape. However, the design of a tobacco article is often a trade-off between its aesthetic value and heating efficiency.

[0006] Specifically, for flat tobacco articles, it is generally necessary to wrap the tobacco portion in paper to make the sample more attractive to consumers. However, when heated from the outside, the paper acts as a thermal barrier, thus reducing the potential efficiency of the device. In addition, such tobacco articles are very thin (e.g., 1 mm), so internal heating, such as that used for tobacco sticks, is also challenging. Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] One object of the present invention is to provide a flat tobacco article with increased heating efficiency.

[0008] To this end, the present invention relates to a flat tobacco article adapted to operate with an aerosol generating device and extending along an article axis between a mouth end and an abutment end, the flat tobacco article comprising a mouthpiece portion adjacent the mouth end and a tobacco portion adjacent the abutment end, The tobacco part is a substrate layer extending along the article axis and forming two opposing side surfaces; a wrapper forming an inner surface, the wrapper being disposed about the substrate layer such that the inner surface contacts one side of the substrate layer and forms a gap with the other side of the substrate layer; and Equipped with The gap is adapted to accommodate a heating blade of an aerosol generating device.

[0009] These features allow the heating blade to be closer to the substrate layer, thus increasing the heating efficiency. Specifically, in this case, there is no intermediate layer (such as a paper wrapper) between the heating blade and the substrate layer. In addition, the wrapper maintains the contours and attractive appearance of the tobacco article to the user.

[0010] According to some embodiments, the gap is adapted to accommodate a heating blade of the aerosol generation device such that the heating blade contacts a corresponding side of the substrate layer.

[0011] These features allow for further increased heating efficiency since substantially all of the heat generated by the heating blade is transferred from the heating blade to the substrate layer.

[0012] According to some embodiments, the substrate layer is thicker than the gap.

[0013] In this case, the substrate layer can contain a greater amount of vaporizable material, thus extending the time period over which the tobacco article can be used.

[0014] According to some embodiments, the mouthpiece portion is adjacent to the tobacco portion.

[0015] According to some embodiments, the mouthpiece portion comprises a core and a wrapper forming an inner surface, the wrapper being disposed about the core such that the entire inner surface contacts the core.

[0016] Thanks to these features, the core can act as a filter member and / or as a cooling member. In addition, no gaps are formed in the mouthpiece portion. Thus, if the mouthpiece portion forms a filter and / or cooler, the flow formed in the tobacco portion can be completely filtered and / or at least slightly cooled before reaching the user's mouth / lips.

[0017] According to some embodiments, the inner surface of the wrapper is defined by a single wrapping sheet. For example, the single wrapping sheet may be bent such that the inner surface comprises four portions. Specifically, one portion of the inner surface may contact one side of the substrate layer, and another portion of the inner surface may form a gap with the other side of the substrate layer.

[0018] According to some embodiments, the side of the substrate layer that forms a gap with the interior surface of the wrapper defines a substrate surface, for example extending in one single plane.

[0019] According to some embodiments, the substrate surface extends along substantially the entire length of the tobacco portion along the article axis and / or extends laterally to the article axis along the entire width subtended by the interior surface of the wrapper.

[0020] According to some embodiments, the substrate surface has the same area size as the portion of the interior surface of the wrapper that defines a gap between said substrate surface.

[0021] According to an embodiment, the substrate surface extends in a first plane and a portion of the interior surface of the wrapper that defines a gap between the substrate surface extends in a second plane, the first and second planes being substantially parallel to each other.

[0022] According to some embodiments, the plate-shaped tobacco article defines only one gap adapted to accommodate a heating blade of an aerosol generating device.

[0023] According to some embodiments, the wrapper of the mouthpiece portion and the wrapper of the tobacco portion are formed from the same wrapping sheet.

[0024] These features allow the tobacco portion and the mouthpiece portion to be assembled together.

[0025] According to some embodiments, the core comprises corrugated paper.

[0026] These features can provide a filtering and / or cooling effect in the mouthpiece area.

[0027] According to some embodiments, the wrapper is made from paper.

[0028] These features allow the cost of the tobacco article to be reduced while still maintaining the desired design.

[0029] The present invention also relates to an aerosol generating device configured to accommodate a plate-shaped tobacco article as described above, the aerosol generating device comprising a heating blade configured to be accommodated in a gap of the plate-shaped tobacco article.

[0030] The present invention also provides an aerosol generating device comprising a heating chamber extending along a device axis between a closed end and an opening, The heating chamber is configured to receive a plate-shaped tobacco article as described above through its open end, and includes a heating blade extending from its closed end and configured to be received in the gaps of the plate-shaped tobacco article.

[0031] These features allow the heating blade to be accommodated in a gap formed within the article.

[0032] According to some embodiments, the heating blade forms two opposing sides, one of which is designed to contact the substrate layer of the tobacco portion of the flat tobacco article and the other side is designed to contact the inner surface of the wrapper of the tobacco portion of the flat tobacco article.

[0033] According to some embodiments, the heating blade comprises a heating element disposed on a side of the heating blade designed to contact the inner surface of the wrapper of the tobacco portion of the plate-shaped tobacco article.

[0034] These features allow for a further increase in heating efficiency since the heating elements are located only on the side of the heating blade that faces the substrate layer.

[0035] According to some embodiments, the heating chamber comprises two parallel opposing walls extending along the device axis, and the heating blades extend parallel to said opposing walls with unequal distances to the walls.

[0036] According to some embodiments, the heating blade extends between one of the opposing walls and a plane located at a mid-distance between the opposing walls.

[0037] Thanks to these features, the heating blade can be accommodated in the gap without additional adjustments during insertion. In particular, the walls of the heating chamber can act as a guide means for the heating blade.

[0038] The present invention relates to a flat tobacco article as described above; an aerosol generating device as described above, The present invention also relates to an aerosol generation assembly comprising:

[0045] Figure 1 shows an aerosol generation assembly 10 comprising an aerosol generation device 11 and a flat tobacco article 12, hereafter referred to as tobacco article 12. The aerosol generation device 11 is intended to work with the flat tobacco article 12, which is shown in more detail in Figures 2 and 3.

[0046] With reference to FIG. 2, the tobacco article 12 is, for example, a plate-like rectangular parallelepiped extending along the article axis X and having external dimensions L×W×D. In a typical example, the length L of the article 12 along the article axis X is substantially equal to 33 mm, while its width W and depth D are substantially equal to 12 mm and 1.2 mm, respectively. According to another example, the values ​​L, W and D can be selected, for example, within a range of ±40%. The depth D of the tobacco article 12 is formed by a pair of parallel walls 13A, 13B, hereinafter referred to as narrow walls 13A, 13B, and the width W of the substrate is formed by a pair of parallel walls 14A, 14B, hereinafter referred to as wide walls 14A, 14B. In some embodiments, the edges between the wide and narrow walls 13A, 13B, 14A, 14B may be rounded. According to other embodiments of the present invention, the tobacco article 12 can have any other suitable shape and / or external dimensions.

[0047] The tobacco article 12 comprises a tobacco portion 15 and a mouthpiece portion 16 disposed along the article axis X. For example, the tobacco portion 15 may be slightly longer than the mouthpiece portion 16. For example, the length L2 of the tobacco portion 15 along the article axis X may be substantially equal to 18 mm, and the length L1 of the mouthpiece portion 16 along the article axis X may be substantially equal to 15 mm. The tobacco portion 15 defines an abutment end 18 of the article 12, and the mouthpiece portion 16 defines a mouth end 20 of the article 12. The tobacco portion 15 and the mouthpiece portion 16 may be secured to each other by a wrapper 21 extending around the substrate axis X. The wrapper 21 forms the narrow and broad walls 13A, 13B, 14A, 14B of the tobacco article 12. In some embodiments, the wrapper 21 is formed from the same wrapping sheet. For example, the narrow and wide walls 13A, 13B, 14A, 14B are formed by the same wrapping sheet, which is specifically bent to form these walls. In some other embodiments, the wrapper 21 is formed by separate wrapping sheets that wrap the portions 15, 16 separately and are secured together by any other suitable means. The wrapper 21 may, for example, comprise paper, and / or nonwoven fabric, and / or aluminum foil. The wrapper 21 may be porous or air impermeable and forms a plurality of air flow passages extending inside the article 12 between the abutment end 18 and the mouth end 20.

[0048] The mouthpiece portion 16 comprises a core 27, also shown in part A of Fig. 3, which corresponds to a top view of the tobacco article 12. The core 27 is intended to act as, for example, a cooler to slightly cool the vapour before it is inhaled by the user, and may for this purpose comprise, for example, corrugated paper. The core 27 may be formed into a stable shape via an extrusion and / or rolling process. The core 27 is advantageously arranged inside the mouthpiece portion 16 so as to be in full contact with the inner surface of the wrapper 21, as shown in part A of Fig. 3, and defines the confines of this mouthpiece portion 16. In other words, no gap is formed between the inner surface of the wrapper 21 and the core 27 in the mouthpiece portion 16.

[0049] In a particular embodiment of the invention (not shown), the mouthpiece portion 16 defines a number of vent holes arranged, for example, along the entire circumference of the mouthpiece portion 16 along two axes perpendicular to the article axis X. In other words, according to this particular embodiment, the vent holes are arranged in each wall of the substrate among the narrow walls 13A, 13B and the broad walls 14A, 14B. According to another example, the vent holes are arranged only in the broad walls 14A, 14B, or preferably only in one of the broad walls 14A, 14B. In both examples, the vent holes may be aligned in the corresponding or each wall of the article 12 perpendicular to the article axis X and may be spaced apart by the same distance. The vent holes allow fresh air to flow inside the article 12 to achieve a particular vaping / tasting effect. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, no vent holes are provided.

[0050] As will be explained in more detail below, the tobacco portion 15 is intended to be heated by a heating blade. As shown in part C of FIG. 3, which corresponds to a bottom view of the tobacco article 12, the tobacco portion 15 comprises a substrate layer 30 comprising a vaporizable material as described above. The substrate layer 30 extends inside the tobacco portion 15 along the article axis X and forms two opposite sides. In particular, the substrate layer 30 is arranged such that one of its sides contacts the wrapper 21 and the other side forms a gap 32 with the wrapper 21. For example, one of the sides of the substrate layer 30 can contact the broad wall 14A and the other side can form a gap 32 with the broad wall 14B. In other words, the gap 32 is formed between the inner surface of the wrapper 21 and the corresponding side of the substrate layer 30.

[0051] As described in further detail below, the gap 32 is configured to accommodate a heating blade parallel to the substrate layer 30. In addition, as shown in part C of FIG. 3, the substrate layer 30 can be thicker than the gap 32. Specifically, the thickness of the substrate layer 30 can be 1.5 times, or 2 times, or 3 times as large as the thickness of the gap 32. For example, the thickness of the substrate layer 30 can include 0.7-1.1 mm, whereas the thickness of the gap 32 can include 0.1-0.5 mm. According to other embodiments, the substrate layer 30 and the gap 32 have the same thickness.

[0052] Referring again to FIG. 1, the aerosol generating device 11 comprises a device body 40 extending along the device axis Y. The device body 40 comprises a mouthpiece 42 and a housing 44 arranged successively along the device axis Y. According to the example of FIG. 1, the mouthpiece 42 and the housing 44 form two distinct parts. In particular, according to this example, the mouthpiece 42 is designed to be fixed to or accommodated in an insertion opening formed at one of the ends of the housing 44. In this case, a tobacco article can be inserted into the device 11 when the mouthpiece 42 is removed from the housing 44. According to another example (not shown), the mouthpiece 42 and the housing 44 form one unique part. In this case, the tobacco article 12 can be inserted into the device 11, for example, via the flow outlet. According to both embodiments, the mouthpiece 42 defines a through hole adapted to at least partially accommodate the tobacco article 12. In particular, as shown in FIG. 1, the through hole can be adapted to accommodate at least a part of the mouthpiece portion 16 of the tobacco article 12.

[0053] The housing 44 defines an interior space of the device 11 that houses various elements designed to perform different functions of the device 11. This interior space may house, for example, a battery that powers the device 11, a control module that controls the operation of the device 11, a heating chamber 50 that heats the tobacco portion 15 of the tobacco article 12, etc. Of these elements, only the heating chamber 50 will be described in further detail with reference to Figures 4 and 5.

[0054] Specifically, as shown in these figures, the heating chamber 50 may form a cup shape adapted to accommodate at least the tobacco portion 15, and possibly at least a portion of the mouthpiece portion 16, of the tobacco article 12, as shown for example in Figure 5. As the tobacco article 12, the heating chamber 50 may form a rectangular parallelepiped shape extending along the device axis Y, with a pair of parallel narrow walls 53A, 53B extending along the device axis Y, a pair of parallel wide walls 54A, 54B also extending along the device axis Y, and a bottom wall 58 adjacent each of these walls and extending perpendicular to the device axis Y. The bottom wall 58 thus forms a closed end of the chamber 50. The heating chamber 50 defines an opening 60 opposite the bottom wall 58, configured to accommodate the tobacco article 12, such that the corresponding broad walls 14A, 14B of the tobacco article 12 face the corresponding broad walls 54A, 54B of the heating chamber 50, the corresponding narrow walls 13A, 13B of the tobacco article 12 face the corresponding narrow walls 53A, 53B of the heating chamber 50, and the abutting end 18 of the tobacco article 12 abuts the bottom wall 58 or at least a rib extending from the bottom wall 58. Specifically, the heating chamber 50 is configured to accommodate the tobacco article 12 such that the narrow wall 13A (or 13B) of the tobacco article 12 faces the narrow wall 53B (or 53A) of the heating chamber 50, and the broad wall 14A (or 14B) of the tobacco article 12 faces the broad wall 54B (or 54A) of the heating chamber 50. The opposing broad walls 14A, 14B, 54A, 54B and the opposing narrow walls 13A, 13B, 53A, 53B may touch one another or may be spaced apart from one another.

[0055] The heating chamber 50 further comprises a heating blade 62 extending from the bottom wall 58 along the device axis Y. For example, the heating blade 62 can extend along at least ½, advantageously ¾, of the total length of the heating chamber 50 along the device axis Y. As shown in part B of FIG. 4, the heating blade 62 can be positioned with unequal distances to the wide walls 54A, 54B of the heating chamber 50. For example, the heating blade 62 can extend between the wide wall 54A of the heating chamber and a plane located at an intermediate distance between the wide walls 54A, 54B. In other words, the heating blade 62 can be positioned closer to the wide wall 54A than to the wide wall 54B. This positioning allows the heating blade 62 to be accommodated in the gap 32 of the tobacco article 12. This respective position of the heating blade 62 and the tobacco article 12 is shown in FIG. 5.

[0056] The heating blade 62 forms two opposite sides and comprises a heating element 64 arranged on one of the sides. In particular, as shown in part B of FIG. 4, the heating element 64 is arranged to face the wide wall 54B of the heating chamber 50. In other words, the heating element 64 is configured to face a volume formed between the heating blade 62 and the corresponding wide wall of the heating chamber 50, which volume is larger than the volume formed between the heating blade 62 and the other wide wall of the heating chamber 50. Thus, as shown in FIG. 5, the heating element 64 is configured to contact the substrate layer 30 and to heat this substrate layer 30 by conduction. The heating element 64 may form a heating track or a polyimide film heater that extends along substantially the total area of ​​the corresponding side of the heating blade 62 or, for example, only along a central portion of this side. The heating blade 62 may be made of ceramic or metal. Its thickness may, for example, comprise between 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm and may be advantageously equal to 0.3 mm.
