Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a heterogeneous heated aroma-generating substrate containing at least an aroma source material, an aerosol former, and a heat-melting substance, which generates an aerosol and aroma by heat transmitted from a heat source such as a heater rather than a flame, a heated aroma-generating source using the substrate, a heated aroma cartridge equipped with the source, and a method for manufacturing the substrate.In particular, the present invention relates to a heated aroma-generating substrate that is easily melted by a heat source, promotes the generation of aerosol and aroma, has high toughness, and has excellent moldability, a heated aroma-generating source using the substrate, a heated aroma cartridge equipped with the source, and a method for manufacturing the substrate.

[0002] Conventionally, the above-mentioned "heated aroma-generating substrate" has often been called "aerosol-forming substrate", but since heating causes the aroma source material such as aromatic plants and the aroma components of the aromatic agent to volatilize together with the aerosol former that forms the aerosol, and the aerosol smoke and the aroma of the aroma source material and the aromatic agent are enjoyed by smoking, in the present invention, it is called "heated aroma-generating substrate". On this basis, an "aerosol-forming body" filled with an aerosol-forming substrate and an "electronic cigarette cartridge" equipped with an aerosol-forming body are called a "heated aroma-generating source" and a "heated aroma cartridge", respectively. [Background technology]

[0003] In recent years, as smoking bans on cigarettes have become widespread in places where people gather, such as workplaces and restaurants, the number of people who smoke by burning cigarettes with flames has decreased, while the number of people who smoke with heated aroma cartridges using heated smoking devices equipped with a heated aroma generating source formed from an aerosol former that generates an aerosol by heat transmitted from a heat source such as a heater, and a heated aroma generating base material containing an aroma source material including tobacco plants of the Solanaceae family, has rapidly increased. This is because heated smoking reduces the inhalation of harmful substances generated by the thermal decomposition and combustion of conventional tobacco, and technical development of various products for enjoying heated smoking has been actively carried out (e.g., Patent Documents 1 to 5).

[0004] The mechanism of such heated smoking differs depending on the form of the heated smoking device, heated aroma cartridge, etc., but a typical example is shown below. A heated aroma cartridge has a heated aroma generation source filled with a heated aroma generating substrate at one end and a mouthpiece at the other end. When the heated aroma generation source is attached so that it comes into contact with the heat source of the heated smoking device and heated, the aerosol former and volatiles of the aroma source material including tobacco plants are released from the heated aroma generation source, and at the same time, these volatiles are sucked into the mouthpiece at the other end together with air when the smoker inhales. In this volatiles transport process, the volatiles of the aerosol former cool and condense to form a smoke-like aerosol, and other volatiles impart an aroma to the smoker's mouth and nose, resulting in the enjoyment of smoking. Therefore, in the case of heated smoking, smoking can be performed at approximately 200 to 350°C, which is capable of volatilizing the aerosol formers such as glycerin and propylene glycol contained in the heated aroma-generating base material, that is, at a temperature at which the thermal decomposition of the tobacco leaves begins. Since the tobacco leaves are not burned, very little harmful substances are generated, and the amount of harmful substances inhaled by the smoker and passive smokers around the smoker is greatly reduced.

[0005] Furthermore, in order to reduce harmful substances, materials have been designed to reduce the tobacco content in the heated aroma generating substrate that constitutes the heated aroma generating source. For example, non-tobacco plants that generate various aromas have been used in combination as substitutes for tobacco plants, and even nicotine-free heated aroma generating substrates that can be used to enjoy comfortable smoking using only non-tobacco plants without using tobacco plants at all have been developed (Patent Document 5). On the other hand, tobacco stems, leaf pieces, dust, etc. generated during the conventional tobacco manufacturing process have been used to effectively utilize materials and reduce material costs.

[0006] In contrast, in the case of conventional flame smoking, which burns tobacco with a flame, a temperature of at least 600°C is required for combustion, and can reach a maximum of 900°C during smoking, resulting in the generation of a large amount of harmful substances. However, since it does not contain any components other than the tobacco plant, the burning of tobacco produces sufficient smoke to satisfy the smoker's visual desire, nicotine, which is the root cause of the smoker's addiction to tobacco, and countless aromatic components.

[0007] Due to the fundamental difference in mechanism between heated smoking and flame smoking, the heated aroma-generating substrate filled into the heated aroma-generating source that constitutes the heated aroma cartridge equivalent to a cigarette is made of a material that suppresses not only the aroma and nicotine emitted by tobacco plants that smokers desire, but also the various aromas emitted by non-tobacco plants.

[0008] First, as described above, the heated aroma-generating substrate is constituted by an aerosol former that generates an aerosol that appears as smoke without combustion, as an essential material.

[0009] Patent Documents 1 to 5 describe that the heated aroma-generating base material is composed of the following materials that suppress not only the aroma and nicotine emitted from tobacco plants, but also various aromas emitted from non-tobacco plants.

[0010] The aerosol former, an essential component of the heated aroma-generating substrate, is a liquid such as glycerin or propylene glycol, so a highly safe binder is used to ensure that it can be held together even when mixed with tobacco plants and non-tobacco plants. Representative examples include polysaccharide-based natural polymers and cellulose-based natural polymers. Furthermore, cellulose fibers may be added to increase the binding strength of these materials and allow them to be molded into a columnar heated aroma-generating substrate.

[0011] In addition to the same purpose, microcrystalline cellulose may be added as a molding agent to reduce shrinkage of the heated aroma base material when it dries and to enhance its moldability.

[0012] When fragrances are used to supplement the aromatic components, such as cooling agents or nicotine, cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone or cyclodextrin, which function as sorbents, may be included to stably retain these without being released until the optimal smoking temperature is reached.

[0013] In this way, the heated aroma-generating substrate that forms the heated aroma generation source provided in the heated aroma cartridge in heated smoking must contain a large number of materials that inhibit the generation and volatilization of smoke components and aroma components due to heating, such as binders, molding agents, and sorbents, other than the aerosol former that is the smoke component, and the tobacco plant, non-tobacco plant, and aroma that are the aroma components, and it is not easy to generate smoke and aroma that smokers can fully enjoy.

[0014] As a method for solving this problem, Patent Document 6 proposes a homogenized tobacco material, i.e., a homogenous heated aroma-generating substrate, formed by a casting method from a slurry, which is a tobacco powder dispersion liquid of a solution in which natural wax derived from plants with a melting point of 50 to 150°C is dissolved in an aerosol former. However, this method is considered to be insufficient, and Patent Document 7 proposes a solution in which a plant-derived oil with a melting point of 20 to 50°C is introduced. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0015] [Patent Document 1] Special Publication No. 2008-518614 [Patent Document 2] Special Publication No. 2010-520764 [Patent Document 3] Special Publication No. 2013-519384 [Patent Document 4] Special Publication No. 2016-538848 [Patent Document 5] Patent No. 6280287 [Patent Document 6] Patent No. 6433626 [Patent Document 7] Patent No. 6442110 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0016] As described in the Background Art, smoking using a heated aroma cartridge equivalent to a cigarette, in which at least a heated aroma generating source and a mouthpiece are connected, and a heated smoking tool, and by attaching the heated aroma generating source to the heat source of the heated smoking tool, is healthy because it inhales less harmful substances such as nicotine. However, although the heated aroma generating base material forming the heated aroma generating source contains an aerosol former that is a smoke component, and tobacco plants, non-tobacco plants, and aromatics that are aromatic components, it is necessary to use a large number of materials that inhibit the generation and volatilization of smoke components and aromatic components by heating, such as binders, molding agents, and sorbents, and there is a problem that it is difficult to generate smoke and aroma that smokers can fully enjoy.

[0017] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a heated aroma-generating substrate that allows smokers to enjoy the smoke and aroma to their satisfaction by sufficiently generating volatile substances from an aerosol former, which becomes a smoke component, and from aroma source materials and fragrances such as tobacco plants and non-tobacco plants, which become aromatic components, using the heat source of a heated smoking device, a heated aroma-generating source using this substrate, a heated aroma cartridge equipped with this source, and a method for manufacturing this substrate. [Means for solving the problem]

[0018] The inventors considered that if the heated aroma-generating substrate that forms the heated aroma-generating source provided in the heated aroma cartridge has a phase-separated structure in which a heat-melting substance containing an aroma source material and / or an aromatic, i.e., an aromatic heat-melting powder, is uniformly dispersed, the amount of volatilization of aroma components and smoke components can be increased based on the following hypothesis.

[0019] First, by phase separation between the aroma source material and / or the aromatic agent and the aerosol former, each of them becomes more likely to volatilize when contacted with a heat source. In particular, by distributing the aroma source material and / or the aromatic agent, which volatilize the aromatic components by a heat source, unevenly in the thermally melting substance, the concentration of the aroma source material and / or the aromatic agent can be locally increased compared to when they are present in the entire heated aroma-generating substrate, and the aromatic components can be volatilized efficiently by contacting with the heat source. Second, due to the high thermal fluidity of the thermally melting substance, the volatile components of the aroma source material and / or the aromatic agent generated therein move together with the aerosol former to the surface of the heated aroma-generating substrate, promoting volatilization. Third, the thermally melting substance, such as wax, has a weaker interaction with the aromatic components than aerosol formers, such as glycerin and propylene glycol, and the aromatic components are more likely to be released from the thermally melting substance.

[0020] On the other hand, we considered that the thermally melting substance can reliably fix the aroma source material and / or the aroma agent at room temperature, and also fulfill the important function of maintaining the heterogeneous structure of the heated aroma-generating base material formed by phase separation from the aerosol former. In particular, we presumed that a thermally melting substance with poor affinity to the aerosol former would be more preferable for maintaining this heterogeneous structure.

[0021] Based on this hypothesis, various considerations were made regarding the materials constituting the heated aroma-generating substrate, the manufacturing methods, etc., and as a result, it was demonstrated that a heated aroma cartridge equipped with a heated aroma-generating source wrapped around a heated aroma-generating substrate which has a heterogeneous structure in which aromatic heat-meltable powder, in which the aroma source material and / or aromatic agent is mixed into the heat-meltable substance, is dispersed in the heated aroma-generating substrate, and which contains at least an aroma source material, an aerosol former, and a heat-meltable substance, and which allows the user to fully enjoy the aroma and smoke when smoking with a typical heated smoking device, even though the composition excluding the heat-meltable substance is the same as that of conventional products, and it was confirmed that the heterogeneous structure of the heated aroma-generating substrate is stably maintained, leading to the completion of the present invention.

[0022] In other words, the present invention is a heated aroma-generating substrate that forms a heated aroma generation source of a heated aroma cartridge that is attached to a heated smoking device and is heated and inhaled to generate an aerosol and aroma, the heated aroma-generating substrate comprising at least an aroma source material, an aerosol former, and a heat-melting substance, and is characterized in that an aromatic heat-melting powder in which the aroma source material is mixed into the heat-melting substance is uniformly dispersed in the heated aroma-generating substrate.

[0023] The minimum outer diameter of the aromatic heat-meltable powder is preferably 125 to 355 μm, more preferably 150 to 300 μm, and even more preferably 180 to 250 μm. If the outer diameter of the aromatic heat-meltable powder is too large, the total surface area is reduced, the contact opportunity with the heat source is reduced, the heat-meltable substance is insufficiently melted, and the amount of volatilization of the aromatic components is reduced. On the other hand, if the outer diameter of the aromatic heat-meltable powder is too small, it is difficult to form a sea-island structure in which the powder is uniformly dispersed in the heated aroma-generating base material, and the powder exists as aggregated lumps, resulting in an area where the melting rate due to contact with the heat source is reduced, and the amount of volatilization of the aromatic components is reduced.

[0024] In order to balance the amount of vaporization of the smoke components and the aromatic components, the compounding ratios of the aromatic source material, the aerosol former, and the thermally melting substance are preferably 55-75% by mass, 20-40% by mass, and 2-15% by mass, respectively, and more preferably 60-70% by mass, 25-35% by mass, and 3-10% by mass.

[0025] In such a heated aroma-generating substrate, the heat-melting substance that plays an important role is not particularly limited as long as it is "an organic compound that exhibits a melting point or softening point and becomes a non-Newtonian fluid when heated." Organic compounds generally called waxes are preferred, and representative examples of waxes include petroleum-based natural waxes, synthetic waxes, plant-based natural waxes, and animal-based natural waxes. In addition, various tackifiers (adhesive agents) including rosin, which is also used as waxes, can be used. These can be used alone or as a mixture containing at least one selected from these.

[0026] Since petroleum-based natural waxes are hydrocarbon compounds, they have little interaction with the aromatic components and the aerosol former, and therefore are not particularly limited, and petrolatum, paraffin wax, and microcrystalline wax can be preferably used. However, there are differences in characteristics based on the molecular structure. Vaseline is a mixture of branched hydrocarbons and alicyclic hydrocarbons, and has a wide melting point range of 36 to 60°C. Paraffin wax is mainly composed of linear hydrocarbons, has high crystallinity, and most of them have a melting point of 40 to 70°C, and the melting point range is narrow. Microcrystalline wax is a mixture of branched hydrocarbons and saturated cyclic hydrocarbons, has low crystallinity but high molecular weight, has the highest melting point of 60 to 90°C among them, and has the second widest melting point range after petrolatum. As described above, all of these are hydrocarbon compounds extracted from crude oil, but paraffin wax and microcrystalline wax have low melt viscosity when thermally melted, low surface energy, and little interaction with aromatic components and aerosol formers, making them the most suitable thermally melting substances for heated aroma-generating substrates.

[0027] Such paraffin waxes include, for example, standard products Paraffin Wax-115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 150, and 155 manufactured by Nippon Seiki Ro Co., Ltd., and any of these are preferably used. Special paraffin waxes, such as HNP series products, which are high-purity refined paraffin waxes specially manufactured by Nippon Seiki Ro Co., Ltd., SP series products for specific applications, and EMW series products mainly composed of isoparaffin manufactured by a special manufacturing method, are also preferably used. Microcrystalline waxes, such as, for example, any of the Hi-Mic series manufactured by Nippon Seiki Ro Co., Ltd., are also preferably used.

[0028] As the synthetic wax, Fischer-Tropsch wax, polyethylene (PE) wax and modified PE wax, polypropylene (PP) wax and modified PP wax, fatty acid amide, fatty acid, fatty alcohol, polyoxyalkylene glycol, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, and polyoxyethylene alkyl amine can be preferably used.

[0029] In particular, Fischer-Tropsch wax is a linear hydrocarbon-based organic compound, so it has a low melt viscosity when thermally melted, has low surface energy, and has little interaction with aerosol formers and aromatic components, making it suitable as a thermally meltable substance for heated aroma-generating substrates. Standard product H1 (melting point: about 112°C), medium melting point product C80 (melting point: about 85-88°C), high melting point product C105 / H105 (melting point: about 117°C), and BYK's CERAFAK (registered trademark) 117 (melting point: about 110°C), 127N (melting point: about 120°C), etc., manufactured by Sasol, can be used.

[0030] In addition, PE wax and modified PE wax, as well as PP wax and modified PP wax, are also hydrocarbon compounds and can be preferably used. Specifically, HIWAX (registered trademark) manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., SANWAX and VISCOL manufactured by Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd., and CERAFAK (registered trademark) 929, 950, 913, 914, and 915 manufactured by BYK have a melting point of about 94 to 161°C and can be preferably used. In particular, metallocene-catalyzed polyolefin waxes are more preferable because they have a narrow molecular weight distribution. For example, EXCEREX (registered trademark) manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., which is a metallocene-catalyzed PE wax, has a melting point of 89 to 128°C because of its narrow molecular weight distribution and composition distribution, but has a low melt viscosity when thermally melted, making it an excellent polyolefin wax.

[0031] As fatty acid amides, monoamides and bisamides are suitable. As monoamides, stearic acid monoamide, oleic acid monoamide, and erucic acid monoamide are preferred, having a melting point of about 72 to 105°C. As bisamides, ethylene bisstearic acid amide and ethylene bisoleic acid amide are preferred, having a melting point of about 140 to 145°C. Although such amides have a polar group, they have a small molecular weight and no molecular weight distribution, so that they have a lower thermal melt viscosity than waxes and oils derived from plants, and further promote the movement of the aerosol former. For example, as monoamides, Alflow (registered trademark) S-10, E-10, and P-10 manufactured by NOF Corp. can be used, and as bisamides, Alflow (registered trademark) H series and AD series manufactured by NOF Corp. and Kao Wax EB series manufactured by Kao Corp. can be used.

[0032] As fatty acids, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, pentadecylic acid, palmitic acid, margaric acid, stearic acid, arachidic acid, behenic acid, lignoceric acid, and melissic acid are preferably used since they have a melting point of about 30 to 94° C. For example, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, and behenic acid are more preferable since they are industrially produced by NOF Corporation and the like.

[0033] As the aliphatic alcohol, lauryl alcohol, tridecyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, pentadecyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, 1-heptadecanol, stearyl alcohol, cetostearyl alcohol, elaidyl alcohol, nanodecyl alcohol, arachidyl alcohol, heneicosanol, behenyl alcohol, lignoceryl alcohol, ceryl alcohol, 1-heptacosanol, montanyl alcohol, 1-nonacosanol, and myricyl alcohol are preferably used since they have a melting point of about 23 to 87° C. For example, lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, and cetostearyl alcohol are more preferable since they are industrially produced by NOF Corp., etc.

[0034] Such higher fatty acids and higher aliphatic alcohols have a carboxyl group and a hydroxyl group respectively bonded to the ends of straight-chain hydrocarbons, and have no or an extremely narrow molecular weight distribution. As a result, like paraffin wax, they have a low melt viscosity when thermally melted and a narrow melting point range, which makes them highly effective in promoting deformation and flow of the heated aroma-generating substrate when heated.

[0035] As the polyoxyalkylene glycol, one having an average molecular weight of polyethylene glycol of 600 to 11,000 is preferred because it has a low melting point and a low melt viscosity when thermally melted. Also, a polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol block polymer having 40 to 80 wt% of polyethylene glycol units and an average molecular weight of 3,000 to 13,000 is preferred because it has a melting point of about 20 to 60°C. This is also used as a nonionic surfactant, but has a narrow molecular weight distribution and a narrow melting point range, so it has excellent fluidity when thermally melted.

[0036] As the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, polyoxyethylene monomethyl ether having an average molecular weight of 1,000 to 4,000 is preferred, as it has a melting point of about 40 to 55° C. This is also used as a nonionic surfactant, but has a narrow molecular weight distribution and a narrow melting point range, and therefore has excellent fluidity when thermally melted.

[0037] As the polyoxyethylene alkylamine, polyoxyethylene-stearylamine having a melting point of about 25° C., for example, Nymeen (registered trademark) S204 manufactured by NOF Corp., and having a melting point of about 45° C., for example, Nymeen (registered trademark) S202 manufactured by NOF Corp., are preferably used. These are also used as nonionic surfactants, but have a linear hydrocarbon unit with 18 carbon atoms, a narrow molecular weight distribution, and a narrow melting point range, and therefore have excellent fluidity when thermally melted.

[0038] Although the natural plant wax and the natural animal wax are not particularly limited, the natural plant wax is preferably hazel wax, urushi wax, carnauba wax, sugarcane wax, palm wax, and candelilla wax, and the natural animal wax is preferably beeswax, spermaceti wax, privet wax, wool wax, and shellac, because they have a relatively high melting point, can stably fix the fragrance source material and / or fragrance, and have high thermal fluidity.

[0039] However, while plant-based natural waxes and animal-based natural waxes are primarily composed of esters of fatty acids and fatty alcohols, they are mixtures of esters of fatty acids and fatty alcohols with various carbon numbers, and also contain free fatty acids, free fatty alcohols, hydrocarbons, etc., and have a wide molecular weight distribution, which results in a wide melting temperature range and high viscosity when melted. In addition, since they contain organic compounds with ester bonds, free fatty acids, and free fatty alcohols, they also have a strong interaction with aerosol formers and aromatic components, so petroleum-based natural waxes, synthetic waxes, and rosin and rosin derivatives, which are tackifiers described below, are more preferred as heat-melting substances.

[0040] Tackifiers are rosins and rosin derivatives, as well as terpene resins and modified terpenes. Resins can be preferably used. Specifically, rosin and rosin derivatives can be used. Gum rosin, rosin ester (pencel), and maleic acid modified rosin manufactured by Gakushu Kogyo Co., Ltd. Resins, rosin-modified phenolic resins (Tamanol) are preferred. Terpene resins and modified Terpene resin is a terpene monomer homopolymer resin (YS resin) manufactured by Yasuhara Chemical Co., Ltd. PX and YS resin PXN), aromatic modified terpene resin (YS resin TO), and terpene resin Penphenol resin (YS Polyster series) is preferably used. Rosin and rosin derivatives have high thermal fluidity and little interaction with aerosol formers. Conductive materials are more preferred, and rosin is even more preferred.

[0041] As described above, there are many types of thermally meltable substances. In order to disperse the aromatic heat-melting powder uniformly, it is particularly important to use a hydrocarbon-based organic compound such as petroleum. Natural wax, Fischer-Tropsch wax, PE wax and modified PE wax Preferred are PP wax, modified PP wax, rosin and rosin derivatives. Among them, paraffin wax and microcrystalline wax are preferable from the viewpoint of melting point and thermal fluidity. Stalin wax, Fischer-Tropsch wax, PE wax, PP wax, Metallocene-catalyzed polyolefin waxes are particularly preferred.

[0042] These heat-melting substances have a melting point or a softening point, but the aroma source material and / or the aroma The melting point is set to 20-20°C from the viewpoint of thermal fluidity when it comes into contact with a heat source. The temperature range is preferably 0°C, and more preferably 50 to 200°C. It is nice.

[0043] Further, the melting point of the heat-melting substance is more preferably in the range of 150 to 200°C. This is believed to be due to the following reasons. The aroma-generating heated base material, which is dispersed throughout the product, is also formed into a columnar shape as in the conventional method. The heated aroma source is formed by filling the heated aroma source into the packaging material and wrapping it around the heated aroma source. When smoking, the heated aromatic cartridge is attached to the heated smoking device. In this case, a heat source is inserted into such a heated aroma-emitting source, and the heated aroma-emitting source is heated. If the melting point of the aromatic heat-melting powder that is uniformly dispersed in the material is low, the aromatic heat-melting powder will melt in the heated The generating substrates are fused together, blocking the gas flow path. Therefore, until the heat source reaches its maximum temperature, In order to ensure the inhalation of volatile smoke and aromatic components, the melting point of the heat-melting substance must be 150 It is preferably at most 200°C.

[0044] Thus, there are few waxes with melting points between 150 and 200°C. The following are limited to PP wax, modified PP wax, rosin derivatives and modified terpene resins. The wax and modified PP wax are particularly preferably used because they have excellent thermal fluidity. Specifically, the PP wax and modified PP wax are Hiwax manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. (registered trademark) NP500, and BYK CERAFAK (registered trademark) 913, 91 4 and 915. These have a melting point of about 160° C. and are preferred. As a rosin derivative, Rosin Este manufactured by Arakawa Chemical Industries, Ltd. Pencel D-160 and KK, and rosin-modified phenol manufactured by Arakawa Chemical Industries, Ltd. Examples of modified terpene resins include TAMANOL resin (TAMANOL). Examples of such products include YS Polyster T160 and YS Polyster G150 manufactured by La Chemical Co., Ltd. can.

[0045] On the other hand, the aromatic source materials are, in particular, Chinese tea, black tea, as well as roses and Osmanthus fragrans (Oleaceae family). Seed plants, lavender and saffron flowers, as well as shallots, garlic, and other herbs. The underground stems of meat, onion, and konjac, as well as Chinese quince and other plants of the genus Citrus in the family Rutaceae (Dart orange, Unshu mandarin orange, summer orange, Ponkan, Hassaku orange, Iyokan, Each Lemon, Trifoliate Orange, Orange, Mandarin Orange, Kabosu, Kishu Mandarin, Kino Grapefruit, Koji, Sanboukan, Citron, Jabara, Sudachi, Tachiba Natangol, Natsumikan, Hanayuzu, Hyuganatsu, Hirami Lemon (Shikwasa) ), pomelo, yuzu, lime, lemon, kaffir lime, etc.), peach species of the Rosaceae family Plants, apple, pineapple, mango, kumquat, melon, pomegranate, plum, apricot, Blueberries, plants of the genus Fragaria, raspberries, bananas, and grapes The fruit, as well as peppermint plants of the genus Mentha in the family Lamiaceae (peppermint, Japanese mint, and apple Mint, water mint, Corsican mint, pennyroyal mint, etc.), Lamiaceae Spearmint plants of the genus Spearmint (Spearmint, Horsemint, Green Mint, Chili Menhaden) ginger mint, catnip, lemon balm, Savory, hyssop, and other plants of the genus Nicotiana and Nicotiana species of the Solanaceae family. The above-ground stems and leaves of the ... Suitable for providing, but not limited to,

[0046] However, when the heated aroma cartridge is attached to the heated smoking device, Fragrance is defined as the scent that comes from the product itself, and the aroma that comes from the heated aroma cartridge. Aroma is sometimes defined as the scent that floats in the air, and the heated aroma cartridge is heated to produce an aerosol. It is preferable to have three elements of flavor defined as the aroma that wafts through the mouth when inhaled together with the aroma of the smoke. It is nice.

[0047] As fragrances, it is used in Chinese tea, black tea, roses, and Osmanthus spp. flowers of lavender and saffron, and the aboveground stems and leaves of Nicotiana species of the Solanaceae family It is preferable to include at least one selected from the above.

[0048] The aromas include scallions, shallots, garlic, onions, and the rhizomes of konjac. and at least one aboveground stem and leaf of a plant of the genus Nicotiana, Solanaceae. It is preferred that the above is included.

[0049] Flavors include Chinese quince, plants from the Rutaceae genus (bitter orange, satsuma mandarin orange, Summer Daidai, Ponkan, Hassaku, Iyokan, Ichan Lemon, Trifoliate Orange, Orange ·Mandarin orange ·Kabosu ·Kisyu mandarin ·Kinotto ·Grapefruit ·Koji · Sanboukan · Citron · Jabara · Sudachi · Tachibana · Tangor · Natsumikan · Ha Yuzu, Hyuganatsu, Hirami Lemon (Shikuwasa), Buntan (Pomelo), Yuzu, Limes, lemons, kaffir limes, etc.), Rosaceae (Prunus persica), apples, pineapples, Mango, kumquat, melon, pomegranate, plum, apricot, blueberry, rose The fruits of the genus Zygosperma, raspberries, bananas, and grapes, and the genus Mentha of the family Lamiaceae Mint plants (peppermint, Japanese mint, apple mint, water mint, Corsican mint, pennyroyal mint, etc.), spearmint plants of the mint family (Lamiaceae, Mentha genus, etc.) Pearmint, horsemint, green peppermint, chili peppermint, ginger mint, etc.), Mint, Lemon Balm, Savory, Willow Mint Hyssop, and a few above-ground stems and leaves of plants of the Nicotiana species of the Solanaceae family. It is preferred to include at least one.

[0050] Aerosol formers are propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol ethanol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, glycerin, monoacetin (Glycerin monoacetate) and diacetin (glycerin diacetate) are used. Among them, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol Recall, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, and glycerin The inclusion of at least one selected from the group consisting of volatile compounds upon contact with a heat source and compounds that are cooled This is particularly preferred because it has excellent aerosol forming properties that appear as smoke.

[0051] Furthermore, it is preferable to further contain a fragrance for the purpose of supplementing the fragrance source material. It is more preferable that the fragrance is mixed into the heat-melting substance together with the fragrance material. At least one selected from the group consisting of nicotine and nicotine can be used. The flavoring agents are important as flavorants, and include menthol and menthol derivatives, menthone and menthone derivatives, and menthol derivatives. Ton derivatives, menthane carboxylic acid amide, 2,3-dimethyl-2-(2-propyl)-butyric acid Acid derivatives, menthane and menthane derivatives, L-carvone, xylitol, eucalyptus essential oil, Peppermint oil, spearmint essential oil, and spilanthol are preferred. The agent is 3 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the fragrance source material, the aerosol former, and the thermal melting substance. Up to 25 parts by mass is sufficient, but if it is contained in an amount of 5 to 20 parts by mass, it will compensate for the aromatic components of the aromatic source material. This is more preferable since it avoids problems such as a decrease in the strength of the heated aroma generating agent.

[0052] In this way, the smoke and aroma generated by contact with the heat source can be controlled by the material that constitutes the heated aroma-generating substrate. It is possible to improve the sensory functions such as aroma and fragrance, but it is molded into a heated aroma-generating substrate. In order to achieve this, the aroma-generating substrate to be heated must be easily releasable from the molding machine that comes into contact with the aroma-generating substrate to be heated. It is also necessary to prevent damage such as breakage of the heated aroma-emitting substrate during molding. In addition, it is possible to reduce the volume shrinkage after molding, prevent the aroma-emitting substrate from falling off when heated, and improve the gas flow. Stability over time, such as maintaining the optimum condition of the duct, is also required. is preferred.

[0053] The molding agent is preferably microcrystalline cellulose, and in particular, the average particle size is 7. The average particle size of the microcrystalline cellulose is preferably 70 μm or less. When the aroma-generating substrate is heated, the shrinkage of the aroma-generating substrate is suppressed, and the aroma-generating substrate and the molding process are also It is not possible to prevent adhesion with the machine, and if the thickness is 120 μm or more, it will Although there is no problem with the releasability from the molding machine, the aroma-emitting substrate when heated is easily broken. The mass average molecular weight (Mw) of the microcrystalline cellulose is 20,000 to 60,000. When the molecular weight is 20,000 or less, the effect of suppressing the shrinkage of the aroma-generating substrate when heated is obtained. If it is more than 60,000, the aroma-generating substrate when heated is easily broken, causing problems in molding. In the case of this molding agent, the total amount of the fragrance source material, the aerosol former, and the heat melting substance is 10 0 parts by mass, 2 to 25 parts by mass is sufficient, but by containing 3 to 20 parts by mass While fulfilling the above functions, it also prevents the generation of volatile substances from the fragrance source material and the aerosol former. This is preferable as it does not require any

[0054] The heated aroma generating substrate contains at least an aroma source material, an aerosol former, and a thermally meltable substance. Since the aerosol former is liquid, it binds them together and maintains the lump state. In order to solve the above problems in molding, it is necessary to use a safer binder. Representative examples include natural polysaccharide polymers and natural cellulose polymers. However, by further increasing the binding force, it is possible to mold the heated aroma-emitting substrate into a columnar shape. It is more preferable to add cellulose fibers so that the cellulose fibers can be easily mixed.

[0055] Polysaccharide polymers include konjac mannan (glucomannan), guar gum, pectin, and calcium. Lagenan, tamarin seed gum, gum arabic, soy polysaccharides, locust bean gum, Karaya gum, xanthan gum, agar, and the like can be used, but they are difficult to obtain due to their strength and the above-mentioned molding properties. From the viewpoint of processability, glucomannan, guar gum, pectin, carrageenan, tamari Preferred are cereal gum, locust bean gum, karaya gum, and xanthan gum, Neutral polysaccharides glucomannan, guar gum, tamarin seed gum, and locust bean Gum is more preferred.

[0056] Cellulosic polymers include carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), carboxyethyl cellulose (CMC), and cellulose acetate. cellulose, hydroxymethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, and hydroxyethylcellulose. Hydroxypropyl cellulose, sodium salt, potassium salt and calcium salt of CMC Carboxyethylcellulose, sodium salt, potassium salt, and calcium salt However, from the viewpoints of strength and moldability, it is preferable to use CMC. Sodium and potassium salts, and sodium and potassium salts of carboxyethylcellulose The potassium salt is preferred.

[0057] A polysaccharide-based polymer and a cellulose-based polymer may be used in combination. In this case, the former is The latter are guar gum, tamarin seed gum, and locust bean gum. As the carboxyethyl cellulose, sodium salt and potassium salt of CMC are used. The use of sodium salts and potassium salts is preferred from the viewpoints of strength and moldability. stomach.

[0058] Cellulosic fibers include, inter alia, sugar cane, bamboo, wheat, rice, esparto, and jute. The fiber diameter and fiber length of these cellulose fibers are preferably The fibers are in the range of 5-25μm and 0.25-6mm, and are cellulose fibers of other plants. Although it is thinner and shorter than the conventional method, it has been found to be more effective at binding the components of the heated aroma-generating substrate. I put it out.

[0059] The binder is added to the fragrance source material, the aerosol former, and the heat-melting substance in a total amount of 100 parts by mass. The amount is preferably 5 to 30 parts by mass, which improves strength and molding processability and is effective in preventing the occurrence of the aromatic source material and the aerosol. In order to avoid adverse effects on the generation of volatile matter from Luforma, the content must be 8 to 28 parts by mass. The blending amount of the cellulose fiber is more preferably 100% or more. The ratio of polymer to cellulose fiber is 1:1 to 1:25 by mass, which is effective for binding. Above is preferred.

[0060] On the other hand, when the fragrance is introduced without being included in the thermal melting substance in order to supplement the fragrance of the fragrance source material, In this case, the heat source of the heated smoking device is an aerosol former that produces smoke components and an aroma source that produces aroma components. There is a possibility that the fragrance may evaporate and be released before the wood reaches the optimum temperature for evaporation. The heated aroma generating material must retain the aroma until it reaches a predetermined temperature. Therefore, it is preferable that the composition further comprises a sorbent.

[0061] As described above, the sorbent is intended for cooling agents and nicotine. , hydrophilic cross-linked polymers, and cyclodextrins are preferred. As the hydrophilic cross-linked polymers, cross-linked Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) adsorbs chemicals with phenolic hydroxyl groups, especially Also, the crosslinked PVP is preferably a five-membered heterocyclic compound containing nitrogen similar to nicotine. It is believed that the interaction between the two is formed, and therefore the nicotine adsorption Crosslinked PVP is also preferred as a cyclodextrin. On the other hand, α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins are also suitable as cyclodextrins. It is known to form inclusion compounds with chemicals that have hydroxyl or carboxyl groups of various sizes. In particular, β-cyclodextrin forms an inclusion compound with menthol, and It is an ideal sorbent for chlorine.

[0062] Such a sorbent is a mixture of the aroma source material, the aerosol former, and the heat-melting material, and the total amount of the mixture is 100%. In the case of crosslinked PVP, the content may be 4 to 25 parts by mass, but it is preferably 5 to 20 parts by mass. In the case of cyclodextrin, the amount is preferably 0.1 to 1.2 parts by mass. It is more preferable that the amount of the fluorine-containing compound is 0.2 to 1.0 parts by mass. is more preferred.

[0063] Finally, we use dried and insect-killed fragrance materials, but the heated fragrance cartridge is used for a long time. In order to preserve the aroma, it is necessary to include a preservative in the heated aroma-generating base material. Potassium sorbate and / or sodium benzoate are suitable for the heated aroma-generating substrate. In this case, the total amount of the fragrance source material, the aerosol former, and the heat melting substance is 100 parts by mass. It is preferable that the content of the fluorine-containing compound is 0.005 to 0.04 parts by mass.

[0064] The above-described heated aroma generating substrate is a heated aroma cartridge to be attached to a heated smoking device. The heated aroma source on the insertion side is configured, and the heated aroma source is inserted into the heated aroma cartridge. The present invention relates to a heated aroma-emitting source formed using the heated aroma-emitting substrate, and The present invention also provides a heated aroma cartridge that uses this heated aroma source.

[0065] First, a heated aroma-emitting source formed using a heated aroma-emitting substrate will be described. The aroma generating source may be at least an assembly of the heated aroma generating substrates. The needle-shaped heat source is easily inserted into the source, and the flow path for the gas to be sucked is secured. Therefore, the heated aroma-emitting source of the present invention is a heated aroma-emitting substrate molded and processed. The cylindrical objects are packed and wrapped in a packaging material so that their sides are in contact with each other. The shape of the particles is not particularly limited, and may be cylindrical, prismatic, granular, scaly, etc. In order to satisfy the functions required of the heated aroma generating source, it is preferable that the heated aroma generating source is in a rectangular column shape. It is more preferable that the aggregate is in contact with the side surface of the cylindrical or prismatic body. It is more preferable that the aromatic body to be heated is attached or detached. The aroma generating base material does not fall off, and the heat source easily penetrates the heated aroma generating source, releasing smoke components and aroma. A gas flow path is secured in the direction in which the aroma components flow, allowing for a comfortable smoking experience.

[0066] In consideration of constructing a heated aroma cartridge, an assembly of the above-mentioned heated aroma generating substrates is The heated aroma generating substrate is wrapped with a wrapping member which is a cylindrical roll. The aroma source is easy to handle and is preferable. The aroma-emitting substrate to be heated, the debris from the aroma-emitting substrate to be heated, and the dust generated by the debris In particular, the aromatic substance emitting from ... The assembly is wrapped with a heated aroma-generating substrate wrapping member. A fragrance generating source is more preferable because it is easy to insert the heat source and a gas flow path can be secured.

[0067] Next, a heated aroma cartridge including the heated aroma generating source of the present invention will be described. In one of the heated aroma cartridges of the present invention, the heated aroma source is a cylindrical The heated aroma cartridge is housed in an exterior member of the heated aroma cartridge, which is the main body of the heated aroma cartridge. The cylindrical space of the exterior member of the incense cartridge is formed as a mouthpiece. In addition, one of the heated aroma cartridges of the present invention having a simple structure is a heated aroma emitting device. The cylindrical mouthpiece, which is attached to the heated aroma source together with the aroma source, is placed in the heated aroma source, which is a cylindrical body. It is characterized by being housed in an exterior member of the aroma cartridge.

[0068] This is a form unique to heated aroma cartridges that are smoked using heated smoking devices. In the case of rolled cigarettes, the part where the cigarette is inserted into the mouth is almost always equipped with a filter. The filter element is attached to the mouthpiece and acts as a mouthpiece. The filter element is used to filter out the smoke generated by combustion. It filters out the solid components of the cigarette and absorbs nicotine and tar to give it a mellow flavor. However, the heated aroma cartridge used in the heated smoking device uses a heated aroma source. Without combustion, the aroma of the heated aroma source and the volatiles of the aerosol former are cooled. The smoke is aerosolized and does not contain any solid ingredients. It contains little or no tobacco plant material, so it is low in nicotine and tar, and is safe for mice. The mouthpiece does not need to have a filter function. The smoker holds the cigarette in his mouth and smokes it without feeling any heat from the heat source, and the cigarette is heated by the lips and tongue. If the cylinder or columnar body has a gas flow path that is pleasant to the touch and has a moderate hardness that makes it easy to hold in your mouth, There is no particular limitation. Therefore, the heated aroma cartridge of the present invention can be used sufficiently. You can enjoy a comfortable smoking experience.

[0069] However, by inhaling when smoking, the aroma-emitting substrate and the aroma-emitting source are heated. It is necessary to prevent the smoke from moving towards the mouthpiece, and to fully suppress the smoke fluctuation that enhances the pleasure of smoking. Therefore, the cylindrical exterior member of the heated aroma cartridge is The mouthpiece is a space and the cylindrical mouthpiece is attached to the heated aroma source. A support member for preventing the movement of the thermal aroma generating base material and the heated aroma generating source toward the mouthpiece side, or The cooling of the volatiles in the aerosol former promotes the generation of aerosols, i.e. smoke. It is preferable that the cigarette is provided with a cooling member. It is preferable that the device further comprises a filter member.

[0070] The structure of such a support member is such that it has a surface that is in contact with the heated aroma generating source and through which gas passes, and It is limited to those that support the above and have at least a gas flow path such as a through hole. In addition, the structure of such a cooling member has a gas flow path with a large contact area with the volatile matter. Examples of such porous bodies include open-cell porous bodies and honeycomb structures. However, the present invention is not limited to these.

[0071] The material is not particularly limited, but the support member may be made of paper or plastic. , rubber, wood, metal, and ceramics can be used, and they can be molded into various shapes. More preferably, the material is a processable plastic. The plastic may be a thermoplastic. The resin may be either a resin or a thermosetting resin, and may be a polyolefin resin, a polyester resin, or the like. Resin, polystyrene resin, nylon resin, acrylic resin, silicone resin, fluorine Resin, polyurethane resin, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) resin, phenol resin Fatty acids, amino resins, ABS resins, and biodegradable plastics can be used, but the final From the viewpoint of protecting the natural environment, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) ) (PHB), poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and biodegradable plastics such as polylactic acid (PLA) are preferable. .

[0072] In the case of cooling materials, metal compounds and the like that have excellent thermal conductivity are preferable, but they are inferior in formability and require high It is a polyolefin-based material that is expensive and therefore has poor thermal conductivity, but is excellent in productivity and cost. Resin, polyester resin, polystyrene resin, nylon resin, acrylic resin, Silicone resin, fluorine resin, polyurethane resin, EVA resin, phenol resin, Amino resins, ABS resins, and biodegradable plastics can be used, but they are environmentally friendly. From a protection perspective, biodegradable plastics such as PHB, PCL, PBS, and PLA It is desirable that:

[0073] As is apparent from the above-mentioned structure and materials, the support member and the cooling member each have a cooling function. The mouthpiece also functions as a support member and a cooling member, but the mouthpiece is a small The support member and the filter member are arranged in this order in the longitudinal direction from the heated aroma generating source side. It is more preferable to have the two functions provided.

[0074] However, as mentioned above, almost all cigarettes are equipped with a filter element, The habits of cigarette smokers are extremely important, and at least the cigarettes that have filters are The filter element is preferably attached to the heated aroma source. It can function as a support member and a cooling member, just like the support member and cooling member, so it can be used alone. In this case, the entire mouthpiece that is attached to the heated aroma source is filled with the filter. The form in which the filter member is filled is simple, and the functions of the filter member, the support member, and the cooling member are This is more preferable since it allows the function to be effectively exhibited.

[0075] Such filter members are made of cellulose acetate, which has been used in conventional cigarettes. Plain filter using activated carbon fiber, dual chaco containing activated carbon in plain filter AFT (Advanced Filter) with uneven surface Typical cigarette filters such as the 1990s Cigarette Filter Technology can be used. However, as long as the filter has the necessary breathability for smoking, there are no limitations on the type of fiber or structure. From the viewpoint of protecting the natural environment, plant fibers such as hemp and wood, as well as PHB, Filter materials made of biodegradable plastic fibers such as PCL, PBS, and PLA. It is preferable that the composition contains a fragrance and a microcellular fragrance. .

[0076] In this way, the filter member provided separately in the mouthpiece is attached to the heated aroma source. When the aroma generating substrate is in contact with the aroma generating material, the aroma generating material functions as a support member. between the heated aroma source and the filter element to prevent clogging of the filter element. It is preferable that at least one of a support member and a cooling member is interposed between the support member and the cooling member. The aroma generating material or cooling member is also a heated aroma generating substrate and a heated aroma generating source. In order to maximize the function of preventing the movement of the heated aroma source, It is preferable to attach it.

[0077] Furthermore, it has all the functions required of a mouthpiece and these functions are expressed effectively. The mouthpiece includes at least a support member, a cooling member, and a filter member. The support member, the cooling member, and the filter member are arranged in the longitudinal direction from the heated aroma generating source side. It is more preferable that the electrodes are arranged in this order.

[0078] On the other hand, a mouthpiece is attached to the longitudinal direction of the heated aroma source, and the heated aroma source is a cylindrical body. A heated aroma cartridge is characterized in that the heated aroma cartridge is housed in an exterior member. The cartridge includes a heated aroma source, a support member constituting a mouthpiece, and a cooling The cooling member and the filter member are wrapped in a mouthpiece wrapping member which is a cylindrical roll. It is preferable that the heated aroma source and the mouthpiece are If the support member, the cooling member, and the filter member have the same shape, they can be used as the heated aroma cartridge. This is because it is easy to store in the cartridge exterior member, improving productivity. The mouthpiece wrapping material is used to wrap the source of the gas, greatly improving workability. As described above, the aroma-generating substrate to be heated and the collapse of the aroma-generating substrate to be heated are improved. This reduces the falling off and scattering of objects and dust generated by the collapsed objects.

[0079] Here, the support member, the cooling member, and the filter member that constitute the mouthpiece are cylindrical. There are three types of wrapping for the mouthpiece using the mouthpiece wrapping material: First, the support member, the cooling member, and the filter member are each individually A form in which the mouthpiece is wrapped with a wrapping member; secondly, a support member and a filter member; The support member and the cooling member, and the cooling member and the filter member are attached to the mouthpiece ra Thirdly, the support member, the cooling member, and the filter are wound with a wrapping member to form an integrated structure. The mouthpiece wrapping material is used to wrap the mouthpiece and integrate the components.

[0080] Such mouthpiece ramping members are typically used in conventional cigarettes. Examples of the paper used for wrapping include paper made from plant fibers such as hemp and wood. Unlike cigarettes, they do not burn and are made of rollable plastic. Films and the like can also be used, and there is no particular limitation on the material. General-purpose resins such as resin, polyester resin, nylon resin, EVA resin, and acrylic resin Although oil films are preferably used, from the viewpoint of protecting the natural environment, a wrapping film made of vegetable fiber is also used. Paper and biodegradable plastic filters such as PHB, PCL, PBS, and PLA. It is more preferable that the

[0081] The heated aroma source is then placed on the interface between the heated aroma source and the mouthpiece. Prevents the falling off and scattering of the generating base material, the collapse of the heated aroma-generating base material, and the dust generated by the collapse. The inclusion of a mesh to prevent foreign objects from entering the oral cavity through suction and This is more preferable in terms of preventing clogging of the filter member.

[0082] The mesh may include a heated aroma-generating substrate, a collapsed portion of the heated aroma-generating substrate, and a collapsed portion of the collapsed portion. A structure that has openings large enough to block dust generated by objects and does not impede the passage of gas. There is no limitation as long as the structure and material are used. However, for example, plant fibers such as hemp and wood are also suitable. , as well as polyolefin resins, polyester resins, and nylon resins. Acrylic resins It is preferable to use woven or nonwoven fabrics with excellent breathability made of synthetic fibers such as polyester. From the viewpoint of protecting the natural environment, plant fibers, PHB, PCL, PBS, and PLA It is preferable that the material used is a biodegradable plastic fiber such as those mentioned above.

[0083] The heated aroma generating substrate and the heated aroma generating material are disposed on the opposite end surface of the mesh of the heated aroma generating source. The debris from the aroma generating material and the dust generated by the debris fall into the heated smoking device chamber. The provision of a cover to prevent the container from being blown away and scattering is a measure to prevent contamination and malfunction of heated smoking devices. In particular, the opposite end of the mesh of the heated aroma source is preferably a heated Since the heat source of the smoking article must be inserted, it is more preferable that a heat source insertion hole is provided. preferable.

[0084] When the cover is provided with a heat source insertion hole, it is preferably made of a plant fiber such as hemp or wood. Fiber, polyolefin resin, polyester resin, nylon resin. Acrylic resin Woven and nonwoven fabrics made of synthetic fibers such as resin can be used. The openings are large enough to block the materials, the debris of the heated aroma-generating substrate, and the dust generated by the debris. There is no limitation as long as the structure and material have the function of not impeding the passage of gas. From the viewpoint of protecting the natural environment, we use plant fibers or PHB, PCL, PBS, PLA, etc. It is preferable that the material is degradable plastic fiber. However, if there is no heat source insertion hole, In this case, the heat source and the cover come into slight contact, so the material is made of plant fibers such as hemp and wood, which provides good breathability. It is preferred to use superior woven and nonwoven fabrics.

[0085] In this way, the heated aroma cartridge of the present invention is wrapped with the cylindrical heated aroma cartridge exterior member. The cartridge is a heated aroma source that is inserted into the heated aroma cartridge housing member. When using the outside space as the mouthpiece, the heated aroma source and the mouthpiece are connected to this heated space.

Even if the heated aroma cartridge has a mouthpiece in a space other than the heated aroma source, A heated aroma source and a mouthpiece are mounted in the heated aroma cartridge housing member. The heated aroma cartridge is also wrapped in a wrapping material. Since it does not have to be rolled up like the heated aroma source and mouthpiece, It is now easier to replace the support member, cooling member, and filter member that make up the spatula. It becomes easier.

[0089] In order to fully realize these advantages, the heated aroma source and the mouthpiece, The support member, cooling member, and filter member constituting the mouthpiece are inserted and removed. The structure and materials used for the heating process have mechanical strength and low coefficient of friction that can be used repeatedly. A housing material for an incense cartridge is required. Paper is used as the material for this housing material. In this case, a desired thickness corresponding to mechanical strength is required, but plastic, wood, metal It is preferable to use ceramics or the like because it can be made thinner. Considering processing, plastic, wood, metal, and ceramic are more suitable than paper. It is particularly preferable that the material used is a plastic material having excellent moldability. The plastic may be either a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin.

The present invention is based on a method for producing an aroma-generating substrate. A material that contains at least a fragrance source material, an aerosol former, and a heat-melting substance, and in which the fragrance source material does not dissolve Since the aerosol former and the thermal melting substance have completely different chemical properties, It has been found that the following manufacturing method is suitable for these material properties. A method for producing the heated aroma-emitting substrate will now be described in detail.

[0106] The basic method for producing the heated aroma base material of the present invention is to heat-melt the aroma source material and / or the aroma agent with the aromatic substance.

The mixture produced in the compression / shear mixing process (A-6) is cooled to below 0°C in a cooling process (A-7). ), and a grinding step (A-8) of grinding the mixture cooled in the cooling step (A-7). The process is characterized in that a mixed powder of the aroma source material and the heat-melting substance is produced. The cellulose fiber manufacturing process (B) consists of a squeezing process (B-1) in which fiber plants are squeezed, and a squeezing process (B The fiber plant that has undergone the crushing process (B-1) is crushed. The crushed material is boiled in a boiling process (B-3), and the boiled material produced in the boiling process (B-3) is dehydrated. Dehydration and drying process (B-4) and the dried product produced in the dehydration and drying process (B-4) The cellulose fibers are produced by the crushing process (B-5) of crushing the materials. The thermal fragrance generating substrate manufacturing process (D) is a mixed powder manufacturing process (AI), a cellulose fiber manufacturing process A mixing process (D-1) for mixing the materials produced in the material preparation process (CI) and the material preparation process (B) ), the mixture produced in the mixing process (D-1) is compressed and sheared to form a sheet. The sheet produced in the shear processing step (D-2) and the compression and shear processing step (D-2) The method includes a cutting step (D-3) to produce a heated aroma-emitting substrate.

[0108] In particular, when the aromatic substance is contained in the thermally meltable substance, in order to make the aromatic substance uniformly present in the thermally meltable substance, Therefore, it is preferable to adopt the following manufacturing method. A mixed powder manufacturing process (A-II) in which a heat-melting substance is mixed, and cellulose fiber is extracted from a fiber plant. Cellulose fiber manufacturing process (B), aerosol former, molding agent, binder, preservative A material preparation step (C-II) of preparing a desired material selected from the group consisting of water and the like; The composite powder manufacturing process (A-II), the cellulose fiber manufacturing process (B), and the material preparation process (C-II) Manufacturing a heated aroma-generating substrate from the material manufactured in the above The method includes the steps of the mixed powder manufacturing process (A-II) and the mixed powder manufacturing process (D), and is characterized by the mixed powder manufacturing process (A-II).

[0109] That is, this mixed powder manufacturing process (A-II) is a process for drying and killing the fragrance source material. Step (A-1), a crushing step ( A-2), a mixing process in which the heat-melting substance and the aromatic agent are mixed at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting temperature of the heat-melting substance ( A cooling process (A-3) for cooling the mixture produced in the mixing process (A-3) to below 0°C. 4), a grinding step (A-5) for grinding the mixture cooled in the cooling step (A-4); The pulverized material produced in (A-2) and the pulverized material produced in the pulverizing step (A-5) are compressed and sheared. The compression and shear mixing process (A-6) is a process in which the raw materials are cut and mixed. A cooling step (A-7) of cooling the mixture to below 0°C; The method is characterized by including a grinding step (A-8) of grinding the mixture, However, the cellulose fiber manufacturing process (B) is as follows: The manufacturing process is exactly the same as the cellulose fiber manufacturing process, and the heated aroma-generating substrate manufacturing process (D ) The basic process is the same, except for the materials, and is the mixed powder manufacturing process (A-II). The material produced in the cellulose fiber production process (B) and the material preparation process (C-II) is Mixing process (D-1) where the mixture is mixed. The mixture produced in the mixing process (D-1) is compressed and sheared. A compression and shear processing step (D-2) in which the mixture is compressed and formed into a sheet, and a compression and shear processing step (D- 2) Manufacturing a heated aroma-emitting substrate, comprising a cutting step (D-3) of cutting the sheet manufactured in step (2). This is the method.

[0110] In this way, in the mixed powder manufacturing process (A-II), the heat-melting substance and the aromatic agent are mixed into the heat-melting substance. A mixing step (A-3) of mixing the mixture at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting temperature of the mixture produced in the mixing step (A-3).

[0111] The heterogeneous heated aroma-emitting substrate manufacturing process (D) includes a compression and shear processing process (D-2). However, the present invention is not limited to this method. The following cast processing process (D'-2) using the paper manufacturing process is applied. It is also possible to use

[0112] That is, the heated aroma-emitting substrate manufacturing process (D) is a mixed powder manufacturing process (AI) or A-II), cellulose fiber manufacturing process (B), and material preparation process (CI) or (C- A slurry production process (D'-1) in which the materials produced in II) are mixed to produce a slurry; The slurry produced in the slurry production process (D'-1) is made into a sheet by papermaking, compression, and drying. In the cast processing step (D'-2), the molded product is cast into a molded product. The method is characterized by comprising a cutting step (D-3) of cutting the produced sheet.

[0113] However, in the process of manufacturing the aroma-emitting substrate to be heated (D), it is important to be careful of compression and shear. Whether through a processing process or a casting process, the melting point of the heat-melting material The temperature cannot exceed 100°C. This is because the phase-separated structure of the heat-melting powder dispersed in the heated aroma-generating base material is destroyed.

[0114] The heated aroma-generating substrate produced by any of the above-mentioned production methods can also be used with an aroma source material and / or The aromatic heat-meltable powder containing the aromatic substance in the heat-meltable substance is dispersed in the heated aroma-generating base material. A heated aroma-generating substrate having a separation structure formed therein, The minimum outer diameter of the powder is preferably 125 to 355 μm, and more preferably 150 to 300 μm. It is more preferable that the thickness is 180 to 250 μm, and even more preferable that the thickness is 180 to 250 μm. The outer diameter is determined by the thermal melting property and uniform dispersion property of the aromatic thermal melting substance. The heat-melting material containing the source material and the aromatic agent is screened and selected. The aromatic heat-melting powder has a large outer diameter. If it is too large, the total surface area will be small, the chances of contact with the heat source will be reduced, and the melting of the heat-melting material will be delayed. On the other hand, the outer diameter of the aromatic heat-meltable powder is too small, resulting in insufficient melting and reduced volatilization of the aromatic components. If the powder is dispersed in the aroma-generating base material, it becomes difficult to form a sea-island structure in which the powder is uniformly dispersed in the aroma-generating base material to be heated. However, because the powder exists as aggregated masses, the melting rate upon contact with a heat source is reduced. This creates areas where the fragrance components evaporate, reducing the amount of fragrance that evaporates. Effect of the Invention

[0115] The aromatic heat-melting powder in which the aromatic source material and / or aromatic agent is mixed into the heat-melting substance is uniformly dispersed. The heated aroma generating source to be provided in the heated aroma cartridge is formed having a phase separation structure. The heated aroma generating base material produces an aerosol former that produces smoke components, and an aroma component and These volatiles are generated sufficiently from tobacco plants, non-tobacco plants, and fragrances to be able to be smoked. It is possible to provide a heated aroma cartridge that allows smokers to enjoy smoke and aroma to their satisfaction. I became ill.

[0116] This is due to the phase separation of the fragrance source material and / or fragrance from the aerosol former. Each of these is based on the effect of becoming more volatile when in contact with a heat source. In particular, the aromatic source material and / or aromatic agent that volatilizes the aromatic component by a heat source is melted in a heat melting material. By distributing the aroma source material unevenly, the aroma source material and the aroma generating material are more easily distributed than if they were distributed over the entire heated aroma generating substrate. and / or the concentration of the fragrance is locally increased, and the fragrance components are efficiently volatilized by contact with the heat source. Secondly, the high thermal fluidity of the heat-melting material allows The volatile components of the fragrance source material and / or fragrance generated in the aerosol are mixed with the aerosol former and This is due to the effect that the aroma migrates to the surface of the thermal aroma generating substrate and volatilization is promoted. Wax and wax are preferred over aerosol formers such as glycerin and propylene glycol. The thermal melting substances such as ethanol have a weaker interaction with the aromatic components, so the aromatic components are released from the thermal melting substances. This is based on the effect that it is easy to get out.

[0117] On the other hand, the thermally soluble substance can reliably fix the fragrance source material and / or the fragrance at room temperature, and is suitable for aerosol spraying. The structure of the aroma-generating substrate formed by phase separation from the foam can be stably maintained. It also has the effect of [Brief description of the drawings]
