Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention provides a heated smoking device having a chamber equipped with an electrically controlled heating element, the chamber being in contact with the heating element. The device is attached to the device, and the aerosol smoke and aromatic components generated by heating the heating element are enjoyed. This relates to an aromatic cartridge that can [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, smoking separation and non-smoking areas have become widespread in places where people gather, such as workplaces and restaurants. As a result of this trend, the number of smokers who inhale tobacco smoke that is burned by flames, such as cigarettes, is decreasing. The heat generated by electrically controlled heating elements such as heaters is small, whereas the heat generated by electrically controlled heating elements such as heaters is small. The number of smokers using electronic cigarettes, which are heated smoking devices that allow people to inhale smoke, is increasing rapidly. The reason for this is that with conventional flame smoking, smokers and non-smokers around them are exposed to the tobacco material. and for inhaling harmful substances produced by the thermal decomposition and combustion of paper (over 600°C). However, electronic cigarettes are heated at temperatures (200-350°C) that are too low to cause thermal decomposition and combustion of tobacco. ) to deliver smoke and aroma to smokers using tobacco materials and harmless glycerin made from aerosol formers. This allows people to enjoy smoking and reduces the impact on non-smokers around them. This is because.

[0003] These electronic cigarettes can be broadly divided into two types (Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2). A capsule-type electronic tobacco device that heats capsules or sticks containing tobacco leaves and inhales smoke. The other is a stick-type electronic cigarette that uses a heated liquid with a flavor or aroma. It is a liquid-type electronic cigarette in which the vapor generated is inhaled.

[0004] In particular, stick-type electronic cigarettes differ from conventional cigarettes in terms of shape, smoking method, and taste. In addition to the high similarity in smoking, the amount of harmful substances inhaled is less than that of cigarettes. There are many enthusiasts of this technology, and various developments have been made (for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3). Aerosol formers, flavorings, and binders that, together with tobacco components, produce the aerosol that becomes smoke. A mouthpiece is attached to an aerosol-forming body that has been processed into a stick-like shape like a cigarette. An electronic cigarette that is smoked by attaching the provided stick (electronic cigarette cartridge) to a heated smoking device. The smoking mechanism is to bring the aerosol former into contact with the heat source of the heated smoking device. When the aerosol former is attached to the aerosol forming body and heated, volatilized gas containing the aerosol former is released from the aerosol forming body. As the substance is released, the volatiles are transported to the other end of the mouth along with the air by the smoker's inhalation. The volatiles in the aerosol former are sucked into the piece side, and in this volatiles transport process, Cooling and condensing to form a smoke-like aerosol, along with other volatiles, It provides aroma to the mouth and nose, resulting in the enjoyment of smoking (especially According to this mechanism, in the case of heated smoking such as stick-type electronic cigarettes, Aerosol formers such as glycerin or propylene glycol are included in the aerosol formers. The temperature is about 200-250℃, which is the temperature at which the tobacco leaves are thermally decomposed. It can be smoked at temperatures that start to burn, so it is at least 600°C. Furthermore, compared to the flame-type smoking method, which burns at temperatures exceeding 900°C, The rise in air temperature suppresses the generation of harmful substances that are said to be generated in large amounts and have adverse effects on health. There is little to do.

[0005] In addition, unlike stick-type electronic cigarettes, liquid-type electronic cigarettes do not contain tobacco ingredients. It is not suitable for drinks such as coffee, cola, Red Bull, chocolate, vanilla, cream, etc. Fruits such as tart, orange, lemon, melon, etc., menthol, mint, herbs, etc. It is a new smoking device that allows you to enjoy a variety of flavors (Non-Patent Document 2). A liquid mixture of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and fragrance is heated and evaporated. It is an electronic cigarette that inhales volatile substances. It contains no harmful substances, tar, or nicotine. The biggest feature is that it does not generate any odor and you can enjoy a wide variety of flavors. A wide variety of liquids are available for sale.

[0006] Furthermore, in recent years, attempts have been made to combine the features of these two electronic cigarettes (Patent Document 4 As mentioned above, the heated sticks of conventional stick-type electronic cigarettes The aerosol-forming substance contained tobacco components, so even though it was a small amount, harmful substances were emitted. In Patent Document 4, a stick-type electronic cigarette is produced. He has invented a stick-type electronic cigarette that does not contain tobacco components, which was a problem facing the company. Instead of tobacco components, it has the effect of helping to promote physical and mental relaxation, health and beauty, which are not associated with smoking. It uses non-tobacco materials that emit only the aroma of a specific flavor, and contains aerosol formers, binders, etc. The stick-type electronic cigarette uses an aerosol former.

[0007] However, stick-type electronic cigarettes that use only non-tobacco materials are The aerosol former cannot use tobacco material containing a large amount of fiber, and various flavors cannot be used. However, there are problems associated with using a wide variety of non-tobacco materials to release tobacco.

[0008] First, the aerosol-forming material containing the tobacco material is such that the fibers of the tobacco material maintain their aggregated state, This prevented the tobacco material from falling off and fusing, but by using non-tobacco materials that do not contain a large amount of fiber, In this case, the heated aroma-generating sheet or heated aroma-generating filling material (hereinafter referred to as "heated aroma-generating substrate") In order to maintain the lumpy state of the fiber, a large amount of binders, which function as fibers, is used. Therefore, as the binder content increases, the density of the heated aroma-generating substrate increases. Aerosol formers and non-tobacco aroma-generating groups released by heating The flow path (hereinafter referred to as "gas flow path") for volatile components (hereinafter referred to as "gas") from inside the material is closed, It becomes difficult to inhale the sol smoke and non-tobacco aroma components (hereinafter referred to as "inhalable components"). , the amount of suction decreases.

[0009] In addition, aerosol formers are made from materials such as glycerin and propylene glycol, which are liquid at room temperature. Therefore, the more binder there is, the more it bleeds out from the heated aroma-generating base material over time, The heated aroma-generating substrates fuse together, blocking the gas flow path and making it difficult to draw in the components. This makes it difficult to suction the material, resulting in a decrease in the amount of suction. This can make it difficult to insert the heating element into the aroma generating substrate and can even damage the heating element. Specifically, the heated aroma-emitting base material sticks and hardens during transportation or storage in a warehouse or store. This makes it difficult for the heating element to penetrate the cartridge, which can damage the cartridge or the heating element. There is something to invite.

[0010] On the other hand, if the amount of binder added is reduced and a gas flow path is secured, the non-tobacco material will fall off, and dust, etc. This makes it difficult to maintain the shape of the cartridge firmly, and it may break when inserted into the heating element. These may be broken and may be aspirated into the oral cavity.

[0011] In other words, it maintains the generation of aerosols that become smoke and the generation of aroma compounds released from non-tobacco materials. Therefore, the composition and blending ratio of the heated aroma-generating base material were significantly changed. Therefore, the structure of the mouthpiece, which has a large effect on the amount of inhalation, In addition, there is a need for a solution that focuses on the manufacturing method of the aroma-generating substrate to be heated and the state of its filling. It is thought that this will be the case. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0014] As mentioned above, the present invention does not use any tobacco components and uses only non-tobacco materials. Therefore, the problem of a specific decrease in suction power, i.e., the problem of the heated aroma-generating substrate and the heated aroma-generating substrate This can solve the problem of a decrease in the amount of suction components due to blockage of the gas flow path between the suction chamber and the intake port. The objective is to provide a fragrance cartridge that does not cause the falling off of non-tobacco materials or the generation of dust. do.

[0015] Although we refer to them as "fragrance cartridges" here, they can also be used for "smoking cartridges" or "electronic cigarettes." It may also be called a "compatible cartridge."

[0016] The fragrance may also be derived from non-tobacco materials that do not contain tobacco components. can be.

[0017] "Fragrance" means "good smell" and refers to the fragrance that comes from the material itself. The aroma that fills the air when heated, and the flavor that fills the mouth when inhaled. ), etc.

[0018] "Smoking" generally means smoking cigarettes, but here it simply means "smoke." It means to enjoy the smoke, to taste the smoke, or to enjoy the smoke. The term "smoke" is not limited to tobacco products and applies to non-tobacco products as well. For example, droplets dispersed in the air such as aerosols, which "look like smoke" or "are smoke-like" " is also included.

[0019] "E-cigarette compatible cartridges" are also not simply "tobacco" cartridges, regardless of whether they contain tobacco components. Cartridges that can be interchangeably used with electronic cigarette cartridges containing the ingredients (compatible) Ridge” is defined as a

[0020] More specifically, the heating element of a heated smoking device that has an electrically controlled heating element in a chamber is contacted. The device is fitted so that the smoke and aroma components of the aerosol generated by heating the heating element can be enjoyed. In a cylindrical aroma cartridge that can filter at least smoke and aroma components, A mouthpiece equipped with a filter and a heated aroma-generating substrate that is in contact with at least the heating element are wrapped around the mouthpiece. The heated aroma generating element is adjacent to the cartridge outer casing and is wrapped around the mouthpiece. It has the function of improving the amount of gas suction and the function of capturing fallen non-tobacco materials and dust. and a mechanism for preventing the falling off of non-tobacco materials, etc., without reducing the amount of gas drawn into the heated aroma generating body. The object of the present invention is to provide a fragrance cartridge having a material with a structure that is free of dust and particles. do. [Means for solving the problem]

[0021] That is, the aroma cartridge of the present invention is a device in which a heated aroma-generating substrate that comes into contact with a heating element is wound. A heated aroma generating element and aerosol smoke and aroma generated by heating from the heating element. a mouthpiece having a filter for filtering out the aroma components; and a cartridge outer casing that encloses the outer periphery of the heated aromatic piece so as to connect the heated aromatic piece to the cartridge outer casing. At least one of the aroma generating unit and the mouthpiece is configured to be optimally positioned for inhaling the smoke and the aroma components. and at least one of a gas generating and sustaining material for producing the smoke and the aroma component.

[0022] Such suction optimization means and gas generation and maintenance material have the following structures and materials, respectively: The suction optimization means a structure that improves the suction amount of the mouthpiece, This structure prevents and captures non-tobacco materials and other debris from falling off the aroma emitter and dust. Specifically, the amount of suction is increased by expanding the gas flow path provided in the filter that constitutes the mouthpiece. The cavity and mouthpiece are heated to generate aroma. A shape reinforcing member that prevents a decrease in suction amount due to deformation provided on the support that prevents movement of the Heat insulation material to prevent damage to the joints due to heat diffusion provided in the mouthpiece, and non-tobacco It refers to a cover material and a partition material that prevents falling off of sawdust and dust from being generated. The retaining material is a material that does not block the flow path of the gas released from the heated aroma-generating element. Specifically, the aroma-generating base material when heated has an improved internal structure due to the manufacturing method, and the blending amount is optimized. a heated aroma-generating substrate constituting the heated aroma-generating unit; Inorganic particles present inside and / or on the surface of the heated aroma-generating substrate, and heated aroma-generating substrate with improved filling rate The structure and materials of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0023] First, in the aroma cartridge of the present invention, the filter is made of fiber molded into a cylindrical shape, The suction optimization means constitutes the whole or part of the mouthpiece. The filter has a cavity formed in the filter that does not penetrate longitudinally. Commonly used cellulose acetate (CA) fibers and polyethylene terephthalate A filter made of polyester fiber such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and other non-tobacco materials. The aroma cartridge used for the heated aroma generator is the same as the gas inhaled by a typical smoker. Since the flow rate is insufficient, the cavity is used to improve the suction volume.

[0024] The shape and number of the cavity are not particularly limited, and the heated aroma is released. It is best to decide the amount of gas inhaled by a typical smoker as appropriate for the type of living organism. Considering the effect of the cavity and the difficulty of the manufacturing method of the cavity, It is preferable that at least one is provided at either one end or both ends.

[0025] In addition, the position where the cavity is formed is designed so that the gas being inhaled is distributed evenly when the smoker inhales. When there is only one cavity, the filter is arranged so that it can enter the entire oral cavity. It is preferable to form the cavity on the central axis of a cylinder that is in the opposite direction. It is preferable to form the center of symmetry at the central axis of a cylinder extending in the longitudinal direction of the filter. In the case of three or more filters, the filter is arranged on the central axis of the cylinder in the longitudinal direction of the filter. On the central axis of the cylinder existing in the longitudinal direction of the filter and on the It is preferable that they are arranged at positions rotationally symmetrical about the central axis.

[0026] Furthermore, the shape of the cavity also has the effect of increasing the amount of gas inhaled by the average smoker. From the viewpoint of the difficulty of the cavity manufacturing method, a columnar or pyramidal shape is preferred. However, the shape of the columnar or conical bottom is not limited. Tees can be efficiently formed by conventional mechanical drilling, electrical discharge machining, or laser machining. Therefore, from the viewpoint of processability, a cylindrical or conical shape is preferred.

[0027] Such a filter may constitute the entire mouthpiece by itself, but If part of the mouthpiece is a filter, the remainder of the mouthpiece may be It is preferable that the cavity is formed by the cartridge exterior body. The arrangement of the cavities is not particularly limited, and the aromatic substance to be heated and the filter may be adjacent to each other. The thermal aroma body and the cavity may be adjacent to each other. The cartridge exterior is usually made of a polypropylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) material. Thin films such as olefin resin, PET resin, CA resin, and polylactic acid (PLA), Also, thin paper is used, but when forming a cavity in the cartridge exterior, depending on the material, Although thickness varies, it must be thick enough to maintain the strength of the mouthpiece.

[0028] Furthermore, the mouthpiece is provided with a member having a desirable function other than the filter, This can improve the functionality of the piece. Typical examples of such components are: a support member for preventing the heated aroma generating body from moving toward the mouthpiece; After the aerosol former of the fragrance generator evaporates, it cools down to promote the generation of smoke, and the temperature of the gas There is a cooling element to reduce the temperature, and together with the filter, it may form a mouthpiece. Either one of these members may be applied, or both may be applied. When either one is applied, it is disposed between the heated aroma generating element and the filter. When applied, a support member and a cooling member are placed in this order or between the heated aroma generating unit and the filter. They are arranged in reverse order.

[0029] The reason why it is necessary to lower the temperature of the gas using a cooling element is because the volatilized aerosol The purpose is not only to cool and condense the liquid to produce smoke, but also to Compared to the conventional aroma cartridge, the distance between the heating part and the mouthpiece is extremely short, and the gas itself This is also to lower the temperature of the cigarette and allow you to enjoy a comfortable smoking experience in your mouth. The member is preferably a member that functions as a heat exchanger, and is a cylindrical member having continuous pores with a high porosity. A porous body or a cylindrical tube with many through holes is used. The porosity is at least The content must be at least 50%, and preferably 70 to 90%. Polyolefin resins such as PP, PET resin, CA resin, polylactic acid (PLA), etc. are used. However, there are also those in which metal foil such as aluminum, which has high thermal conductivity, is wrapped around them, and those in which metal foil is wrapped around them. Those that are genus themselves are more preferable.

[0030] In this way, the mouthpiece makes it easier for the smoker to hold the aroma cartridge in his / her mouth, A filter that filters the gas and makes the taste of the gas milder is an essential component, and if necessary, By using this structure, a support member and / or a cooling member can be provided. Since it is the filter that obstructs suction, shortening the length of the filter can increase the amount of suction. Therefore, instead of providing a cavity as described above, the filter is shortened. We investigated the structure of the mouthpiece to increase the amount of suction.

[0031] The length of the aroma cartridge itself and the length of the heated aroma generating unit depend on the structure of the heated smoking device. Therefore, if you shorten the mouthpiece filter, it will support part of the filter. In the past, the support member was attached to the heated aroma generating device in the direction of the mouthpiece. While preventing the movement of air, it cannot prevent the passage of gas. It has a hollow cylindrical structure and is made of inexpensive polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP ), plastics such as CA resin, and paper have been used. In order not to obstruct the passage of gas, it is preferable that the thickness of the side surface of the support member is as thin as possible in the cavity. However, shortening the filter and lengthening the length of such a support member would increase the mouthpiece size. This creates the problem of the base easily deforming.

[0032] To address this issue, the present invention provides a mouthpiece that is composed of at least a filter and a support member. In the aroma cartridge equipped with the support member, the length of the support member is increased and the thickness of the side surface is reduced. The support structure prevents the mouthpiece from deforming and reduces the amount of suction. This provides:

[0033] That is, in this aroma cartridge, the mouthpiece is a mouthpiece of a heated aroma generating body. The support member has a through hole that prevents the support member from moving in the base direction. The central axis is substantially the same, and the suction optimization means is fixedly or movably disposed within the through-hole. More specifically, the shape reinforcing member is oriented in such a manner that the axis of the support member and the through hole of the support member are aligned. and at least one plate-like member having a surface on which the through-hole is in contact with the inner wall of the through-hole. By disposing such a plate-like member in the cylindrical through-hole of the support member, Even if the length of the support member is increased and the thickness of the side is reduced, there is no need to change the material. The shape of this plate-like member is a cross section of a cylinder cut in the axial direction. From the viewpoint of the amount of suction, the thinner the thickness, the better. The fewer the number, the better, but considering the viewpoint of preventing deformation, 2 to 4 sheets, thickness The thickness of the polyolefin resin is preferably 0.1 to 0.5 mm.

[0034] Furthermore, the shape reinforcing member has an axis that is substantially the same as the central axis of the cylinder of the support member and the through hole. A concentric cylinder with a radius smaller than the radius of the hole, and a concentric cylinder with a radius smaller than the radius of the hole on the outer periphery of the concentric cylinder The support member is provided with a plate-like member formed so as to contact the inner wall of the through hole in the direction It is more preferable to prevent deformation and from the viewpoint of gas suction, that the concentric cylinders are hollow. It is even more preferable that

[0035] In this way, the heated aroma generating unit is adjacent to the heated aroma generating unit, and the movement of the heated aroma generating unit toward the mouthpiece A support member on which a shape reinforcing member for preventing movement is disposed, and a filter adjacent to the support member. In the aroma cartridge to which the mouthpiece having the above is applied, the support body is not deformed. It is possible to optimize the gas intake, but for more extensive control of the gas intake, It is more preferable to use a filter having a cavity as the filter. The aerosol particles are efficiently converted into aerosol smoke by a cooling element. In either case, the amount of suction can be further optimized. To achieve this, it is preferable to use a filter having a cavity. .

[0036] On the other hand, as the suction volume increases due to improvements in the filter and support member, the heat of the gas is generated. Since heat is easily transferred from the heat source to the filter, each component of the aroma cartridge The bonding strength between the two surfaces may be reduced. The heated aroma generating element, filter, support member, cooling member and cartridge exterior are the interface between the filter and the housing, the interface between the filter and the support member, the cooling member and the cartridge housing, the support portion the interface between the cooling member and the cartridge exterior body, and the interface between the cooling member and the cartridge exterior body Examples include surfaces.

[0037] If the bonding strength of each interface decreases, gas will leak and have a negative effect on the amount of suction. It is preferable to provide a heat insulating member between the heated aroma generating unit and the mouthpiece. The member, such as a support member adjacent to the aromatic body to be heated, is used to distribute the hot gas throughout the body. Instead, a porous insulating plastic material like a sponge with long continuous pores is preferred. Therefore, it is sufficient if the heat insulating material has a function of retaining the heat to some extent and cooling it. The length of the cooling element is extremely short, so there is no need for a cooling function up to the cooling element. It is preferably applied in place of a support member that prevents movement towards the piece.

[0038] In addition, unlike typical heated smoking devices with a needle-shaped heating element at the bottom of the chamber (Figure 2), In the case of heated smoking devices (Figure 3) where the heating element covers the chamber, the aroma cartridge The effect of heat on the structure is greater, and the bond strength at the interface between the components is significantly reduced as described above, resulting in a breakdown. It is necessary to provide a heat member to prevent a decrease in the joining strength, i.e., a decrease in the amount of suction. In view of eliminating the influence of heat from the heating element and preventing a decrease in the amount of suction, the present invention A fragrance device in which a heat insulating member is interposed between the heated aroma generating body and the mouthpiece as a means for optimizing suction. It also provides incense cartridges.

[0039] Furthermore, since the heated aroma-generating substrate emits various aromas, the fiber content may become extremely low. In such cases, the amount of binder mixed is adjusted, but the fragrance is maintained. Therefore, it is not possible to significantly reduce the non-tobacco material content, and the falling off and powder of non-tobacco materials, etc. This is carried towards the mouthpiece by smoking and can be easily removed by the filter. This can cause the gaps between the filter and the cooling member to become clogged, resulting in a significant decrease in the amount of suction. In the case of a heated fragrance-generating base material with such a composition, the fragrance cartridge is inserted into a needle-shaped heating element. Even when using this product, it is likely to produce falling off materials and dust.

[0040] Therefore, in the present invention, as the suction optimization means, the end of the heated aroma generating element on the mouthpiece side is and a partition wall material is disposed at the end opposite to the mouthpiece. The lid material and the partition material are made of a heated aroma-generating base material and a heated aroma-generating Depending on the condition of the living body, either one or both may be provided. / or the partition material prevents clogging of the filter and / or cooling element due to debris or dust This ensures a stable suction volume.

[0041] The above has described a solution for structurally improving the optimization of gas suction in the aroma cartridge. However, in order to optimize the absorption, it is necessary to improve the heated aroma emitter that releases gas when heated. The amount of gas released from the heated aroma-generating material is closely related to the amount of gas inhaled. In the present invention, a material that stabilizes the amount of gas released is added to the gas generating material. It is called a sustained material.

[0042] The reason why the improvement in gas release rate due to heating of the heated aroma generating device is not sustained is as already explained. This is an important point in the present invention, so it will be explained again. The tubular former allows the tobacco fibers to maintain their aggregated state and prevents the tobacco from falling off and fusing. However, when using non-tobacco materials that do not contain a large amount of fiber, the mass of the heated aroma-generating substrate In order to maintain a stable state, it is necessary to use a large amount of binders that perform the functions of fibers. Therefore, increasing the binder content increases the density of the heated aroma-generating substrate, which increases the gas flow. The passage is blocked, making it difficult to draw in the components.

[0043] In addition, aerosol formers are made from materials such as glycerin and propylene glycol, which are liquid at room temperature. Therefore, the more binder there is, the more likely it is to bleed out over time from the heated aroma-generating base material. Since the heated aroma-generating substrates are fused together, the flow path between the heated aroma-generating substrates is closed, and suction In addition, if such adhesion occurs, the heating element may become stuck to the heated aroma-generating substrate. Not only will it be difficult to insert the heating element into the binder, but it may also damage the heating element. If the amount of additives such as tobacco is reduced and a gas flow path is secured, the non-tobacco material may fall off or generate dust, and the aroma may be lost. It is difficult to maintain the shape of the cartridge firmly, and it will break if inserted into the heating element. These may also be aspirated into the oral cavity.

[0044] Therefore, in the present invention, the above-mentioned problems are solved by a method (apparatus) for producing a heated aroma-emitting substrate. The following description will be mainly based on the manufacturing method including each step. However, by providing means for carrying out each step, the manufacturing method can be carried out as a whole. Therefore, there is no need to overlap the explanation of the manufacturing method and the manufacturing equipment. It should be explained simultaneously (overlappingly) as "steps [means]" and "method [apparatus]" without do.

[0045] The reason why the method (apparatus) for manufacturing the aroma-generating substrate to be heated can solve the above problems is that The heated aroma generating base material is a non-tobacco material, aerosol former, etc., in a medium such as pure water and alcohol. , binders, anti-adherents, flavorings, non-tobacco extracts, antimicrobial preservatives, etc. The composition dispersed or dissolved as a medium is subjected to compression molding such as papermaking, roll pressing, pressing, etc. The sheets are formed by a casting method, etc., and then dried and cut into pieces. The internal structure of the heated aroma-generating substrate is determined by the manufacturing method (apparatus) in the shape and drying process (means). This is thought to be because the temperature varies depending on the material.

[0046] The reason for this is that, for example, in a blend of different polymers, the phase separation structure of the blend is produced. It is affected by the method [apparatus] and manufacturing conditions, and emulsions and suspensions that disperse oil in water In the case of a coating, whether it is a water-in-oil type or an oil-in-water type depends on the type of oil, the oil-to-water ratio, The manufacturing method is affected by various factors such as the type of surfactant. The analysis of the clear differences in the structure of the aroma-generating substrates heated by the different [apparatuses] is included. Due to the complexity of the materials systems involved, this is nearly impossible and requires a great deal of effort to find analytical methods. It is considered necessary to manufacture polymer blends and emulsions internally using manufacturing methods [devices]. The reason for the fact that differences in structure occur is that the substances that are compounded are limited and research has not been conducted. Because of the long history of research and established analytical methods, differences in structure caused by manufacturing conditions can be easily identified. Because it is clear.

[0047] Various methods and devices for producing the heated aroma-generating substrate have already been considered. A process [means] of preparing a non-tobacco material by drying and grinding the non-tobacco material and then dry-mixing it. and aerosol formers, binders, anti-adherents, flavorings, non-tobacco extracts, and antimicrobial preservatives. and a step (means) of preparing a material selected from the above, and a step (means) of preparing pure water and alcohol. a wet mixing step for mixing these prepared materials together; A papermaking process [means] for producing a water-impregnated sheet from the slurry produced by the above method, and a papermaking process [means] for producing a water-impregnated sheet from the water-impregnated sheet produced by the above method. A forming process [means] for producing a sheet by roll pressing, and a sheet produced by the forming process [means] and a step (means) of drying the heated aroma-generating sheet. A method [apparatus] for producing filling.

[0048] However, the aroma-generating substrate produced by this method [apparatus] is difficult to maintain in a lump state. This is difficult, so a large amount of binder is required, and the aerosol former bleeds out. Therefore, there was a problem that the heated aroma-generating base material was prone to fusion. The amount of gas released by the heated aroma emitter changes significantly over time, and smokers experience a stable gas release. It was not possible to perform suction.

[0049] Material for stabilizing the amount of gas released from the heated aroma generating material in the aroma cartridge of the present invention That is, the gas-producing sustaining material is first prepared by mixing dry, ground non-tobacco materials. A non-tobacco material produced by a dry mixing process [means] and an aerosol former , binder or thickener, cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), flavoring, non-tobacco extract, beta a material selected from cyclodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose, and an antimicrobial preservative; A first wet mixing step [means] of mixing into an alcohol and pure water mixed solution, and a first wet mixing step [Means]: Add pure water and / or alcohol to a mixture of alcohol and pure water containing non-tobacco materials, etc. Or a second wet mixing step in which alcohol is further added to produce a slurry containing non-tobacco materials, etc. and producing a water-impregnated sheet from the slurry produced in the second wet mixing step. A papermaking process [means], a sheet forming process [means] in which the water-containing sheet is compressed and processed into a sheet, and a sheet forming process [means]. Drying the sheet produced in the sheet-forming process [means] to produce a heated aroma-generating sheet. a process [means] and a sheet processing process [means] of cutting or folding the heated aroma-generating sheet; The heated aroma-generating substrate is made from

[0050] The manufacturing method [apparatus] is characterized by the second wet mixing. The second wet mix with the addition of glycerin and polypropylene glycol The dispersion of the sol former and non-tobacco material is improved, so the amount of binder added can be increased. The aroma-generating base material can be heated to stabilize its mass state without causing any bleeding of the aerosol former. In particular, the alcohol is a lower monoalcohol such as ethanol or propanol. Alcohol is effective and preferable, and the amount of alcohol added is 0.1 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of non-tobacco material. It is preferably at most 10 parts by mass.

[0051] The gas generating and sustaining material in the second fragrance cartridge of the present invention is a dry, ground, non-tartar material. A dry mixing process [means] for mixing tobacco material, and a non-tobacco material produced by the dry mixing process [means]. , aerosol former, binder or thickener, cross-linked PVP, flavoring, non-tobacco extract, β-silicone and a material selected from chlorodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose, and an antimicrobial preservative. A first wet mixing step [means] of mixing the coal and pure water mixture, and a first wet mixing step [means] of The alcohol and pure water mixture containing the non-tobacco material, etc., prepared by the above-mentioned step [1] is added with pure water and and / or a second wet mix in which alcohol is further added to produce a slurry containing non-tobacco materials, etc. and a method for producing a water-containing sheet from the slurry produced in the second wet mixing step [means]. and a sheet forming process in which the wet sheet is compressed or cast to form a sheet. and a sheet forming process [means], the moisture content of which is reduced to less than 50% by mass. An aerosol former absorption process [means] in which the sheet is coated with or immersed in the aerosol former; The sheet produced in the aerosol former absorption process is dried to produce a heated fragrance-generating sheet. a drying process [means] for producing the aroma-generating sheet, and a sheet for cutting or folding the heated aroma-generating sheet; The heated aroma-generating substrate is produced by the processing step [means].

[0052] The manufacturing feature of this method [apparatus] is the second wet mixing, and the alcohol is ethanol or Lower monoalcohols such as propanol are preferred, and the amount added is about 100% by weight of the non-tobacco material. It is preferable that the amount of the hydroxybenzoate is 0.1 to 10 parts by mass relative to the amount of the hydroxybenzoate. The second manufacturing method [apparatus] is similar, but further characterized by the fact that the water content is reduced to less than 50% by weight. an aerosol former absorption process in which the aerosol former is applied to or immersed in the water-containing sheet; In the conventional manufacturing method, the aerosol former and the non-tobacco The undried, heated aroma-generating substrate sheet has poor dispersion with the base material and a moisture content of less than 50% by mass. In the test, the aerosol former and the non-tobacco material were separated, so the aerosol former However, the second wet process improves the dispersion. Therefore, in the aerosol former absorption process [means], the aerosol former is absorbed into the sheet. Since the aerosol former and binder are absorbed by the aerosol, the amount of the aerosol former and binder added is the same as that of the first manufacturing method [device]. Even in this case, the mass state of the heated aroma-generating base material can be stabilized, and the bleeding of the aerosol former can be prevented. In addition to reducing the amount of heat, the aerosol former is more easily volatilized by heating. .

[0053] The gas-generating sustaining material in the third fragrance cartridge of the present invention is a dry, ground, non-tartar material. a wet mixing step of mixing tobacco with purified water to produce a non-tobacco material slurry; a papermaking step [means] for producing a water-containing sheet from the slurry produced in the mixing step [means]; A sheet forming step [means] of compressing or casting the water sheet to form a sheet; a drying step [means] for reducing the moisture content of the sheet produced in the step [means] to less than 50% by mass; , the sheet produced by the drying process [means] is added with an aerosol former, a binder or thickener, a crosslinking agent, PVP, flavor, non-tobacco extract, β-cyclodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose, sheet composition A concentrate of the water discharged in the forming step [means] and an alcohol containing a material selected from an antimicrobial preservative. an absorption and adsorption process [means] in which a mixture of alcohol and pure water is applied or immersed; a drying step [means] for drying the sheet produced by the [means] to produce a heated aroma-generating sheet; and a sheet processing step [means] of cutting or folding the heated aroma-emitting sheet. It is a heated aroma-generating substrate.

[0054] The first and second manufacturing methods involve mixing all non-tobacco materials with pure water and alcohol. A wet sheet was formed by papermaking from wet-mixed slurry, but a third manufacturing method [apparatus] The feature of this method is that it produces a wet seed from a slurry of non-tobacco material alone, and then drys the seed sheet. The first and second products are intended to absorb and adsorb aerosol formers and other materials. The manufacturing method [apparatus] improves the dispersion of non-tobacco materials and aerosol formers, There were challenges in wet dispersing the material itself. As a result of examining a manufacturing method [apparatus] that does not involve the step [means] of mixing and dispersing the As in the manufacturing method [apparatus], the dried non-tobacco material sheet is subjected to the aerosol former etc. It was found that pure water and alcohol mixtures of other materials quickly penetrated, absorbed, and adsorbed. The present invention has been achieved by the above-mentioned method. was stable and the bleed-out of the aerosol former was reduced.

[0055] The gas-generating and sustaining material in the fourth aroma cartridge of the present invention is a non-tobacco material dried and A method for preparing a non-tobacco material by grinding the non-tobacco material and cross-linking the non-tobacco material with at least a flavoring agent and / or a non-tobacco extract. Cross-linked PVP and / or β-cyclodextrin are mixed with alcohol to add flavoring and / or non-flavoring agents. Flavoring and / or entrapping tobacco extract in cross-linked PVP and / or β-cyclodextrin A non-tobacco extract mixing step [means] and at least an aerosol former and a binder or thickener. The aerosol former dissolving process [means] is mixed with pure water, and the non-tobacco material preparation process [means] is produced. Materials produced by flavor and / or non-tobacco extract dissolution processes [means] and A wet mixing process [means] for mixing the materials produced in the aerosol former dissolving process [means], and a wet A sheet that is compressed from the material produced by the mixing process [means] to produce a heated aroma-generating sheet. A molding process (means) and a sheet processing process (hands) for cutting or folding the heated aroma-generating sheet. and a heated aroma-generating substrate manufactured from the above.

[0056] The conventional manufacturing method [device] is to make sheets from a slurry of non-tobacco material through a papermaking process [means]. In light of the results of the third manufacturing method, the Casting sheets from slurries of materials with different properties such as Therefore, pure water and alcohol can be easily mixed without passing through a large amount of pure water and alcohol slurry. A mixture of non-tobacco materials with low viscosity is pressed using a roll press such as a three-roll press. This method [apparatus] forms a sheet of the heated aroma-generating substrate. It is believed that all materials are uniformly mixed and dispersed due to the large shear and compression forces applied to the material. can be obtained.

[0057] wherein at least a flavor and / or a non-tobacco material extract and crosslinked PVP and / or β-cyclohexyl benzoate are used. Flavoring and / or non-tobacco extracts are mixed with cross-linked PVP and rhodextrin in alcohol. and / or β-cyclodextrin, and an aerosol former dissolving step [means] of mixing the former and a binder or thickener in pure water; The mixture contains pure water and other additives, such as flavorings, non-tobacco extracts, aerosol formers, binders or thickeners. It is important to dissolve alcohol-soluble materials in advance. When menthol and / or xylitol are used, cross-linked PVP and / or β-cyclodextrin may be used. These are sorbed into the string and remain stable in the heated aroma-generating substrate, and are released into the aerosol form. At least flavoring and / or non-tobacco materials are used because they have the effect of suppressing bleed-out of tobacco. The extract and cross-linked PVP and / or β-cyclodextrin are mixed in alcohol to add flavoring and and / or non-tobacco extracts in cross-linked PVP and / or β-cyclodextrin. The combining process plays a vital role.

[0058] By adopting this manufacturing method [device], the mass state of the heated aroma-generating base material is stable. The bleeding out of the aerosol former can be significantly reduced, and the heated aroma-generating group There is no fusion of materials, and the evaporation of gases by heating the aroma generating device is promoted, so the amount of suction increases over time. This prevented a decline in the

[0059] Furthermore, in the sheet forming step [means] of this manufacturing method [apparatus], non-tobacco materials, aerosol Former, binder or thickener, cross-linked PVP, flavoring, non-tobacco extract, beta-cyclodextrin adding an ingredient selected from phosphorus, microcrystalline cellulose, an antimicrobial preservative, and purified water; It is preferable to add [means] to this step [means]. It is possible to promote kneading by shearing and compressive forces, control the amount of moisture, and The volatility of the former can be increased.

[0060] The gas-generating and sustaining material in the fifth fragrance cartridge of the present invention is a dried, ground non-aqueous solution. Tobacco material, a first binder aqueous solution in which a first binder is dissolved in pure water, and an aerosol former , cross-linked PVP, flavoring, non-tobacco material extract, β-cyclodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose, and an antimicrobial preservative; a curing step [means] for stabilizing the mixed solution produced in the wet mixing step [means]; The curing mixture prepared in step [1] is mixed with a second binder aqueous solution prepared by dissolving the second binder in pure water. a second wet mixing step [means] for mixing the materials produced in the second wet mixing step [means]; a sheet forming step [means] for producing a heated aroma-generating sheet by shrinking the sheet; A heated aroma-generating substrate manufactured by a sheet processing step [means] of cutting or folding the In this manufacturing method (apparatus), as in the fourth manufacturing method (apparatus), the sheet forming process In the [means], non-tobacco material, aerosol former, binder or thickener, cross-linked PVP, fragrance non-tobacco extract, beta-cyclodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose, antimicrobial preservative, and It is preferable to add a step (means) of adding a material selected from the group consisting of , and pure water.

[0061] This manufacturing method [apparatus] is particularly provided with a step [means] for curing the mixed liquid, and The step [means] of adding the binder in two separate steps is provided before and after the [means]. The binder is preferably a modified cellulose polymer in the first step, and a non-cellulose polymer in the second step. Other polysaccharide polymers are preferred.

[0062] The curing process [means] is a process in which the dispersion state of the non-tobacco material mixture changes over time. This is thought to lead to the lowest energy, most stable, uniformly dispersed state. It is believed that this change in state allows the aroma-generating base material to form a mass state upon heating.

[0063] In addition, by adding the binder in two separate steps, the amount of binder added can be reduced without causing any mixing. This is because the mixture can be dispersed sufficiently and the viscosity can be easily adjusted. It is closely related to the process [means]. The first binder is added and cured to stabilize the mixture. This creates a dispersed state, making it easier to add the second binder, and the amount added is Therefore, in the first step, the modified cellulose, which has superior dispersing ability, is used. In the second round, a cellulosic polymer is preferred, and in the second round, a cellulosic polymer is preferred because of its ability as a thickener to adjust viscosity. Polysaccharide polymers other than cellulose are preferred.

[0064] Such modified cellulose polymers include methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, Carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxyethyl cellulose, hydroxymethyl cellulose cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and carboxy Sodium and potassium salts of methylcellulose and carboxyethylcellulose, and It is preferable to use one or more of the following polysaccharide polymers: Yakmannan (glucomannan), guar gum, pectin, carrageenan, tamarind Gum, gum arabic, soybean polysaccharides, locust bean gum, karaya gum, xanthan It is preferable to use one or more of gum and agar.

[0065] The blending amount of the binder is 5 to 20 parts by mass of the first binder per 100 parts by mass of the non-tobacco material. It is preferable to use 0.1 to 5 parts by mass of the first binder and 0.1 to 5 parts by mass of the second binder.

[0066] There are also appropriate conditions for the curing process to achieve a stable dispersion state, such as 15 to 30°C and 72 The appropriate temperature conditions are required to ensure that the binder has a sufficient amount of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. Since the polymer has a hydrogen bond, it can be dissolved in pure water and alcohol without forming a hydrogen bond. This is thought to be due to the temperature dependence of the molecular state. The optimum temperature range was determined as a result of the experiment. A minimum amount of time is required, but taking more time than necessary does not result in significant changes, and productivity Decreases.

[0067] As described above, the material that stably releases gas from the heated aroma generating unit, i.e., the material that can generate and maintain gas, We will explain the solution of optimizing the heated aroma-emitting base material by the manufacturing method [device]. We have now devised a material that releases gas more actively and stably.

[0068] The gas generation sustaining material is an inorganic particle. The effect of the inorganic particle is There are two cases depending on the type of aromatic compound. One is when inorganic particles are present inside the heated aromatic compound. By adding inorganic particles to the heated aroma-generating body, the density of the heated aroma-generating base material is reduced. This prevents the gas flow path from being blocked, and prevents the gas from being difficult to suck in. The first case is when inorganic particles are on the surface of a heated aroma-generating sheet or a heated aroma-generating substrate. Even if the aerosol former bleeds out over time from the heated aroma-generating base material, it remains inorganic. The particles can prevent the fusion phenomenon between the heated aroma-generating substrates, and the heated aroma-generating sheet The flow path between the heated aroma-generating substrate and the heated aroma-generating substrate is not blocked, making it difficult to draw in the components to be drawn in. In addition, the fusion of the heated aroma-generating sheet or the heated aroma-generating substrate is eliminated. Therefore, the difficulty of inserting the heating element into the heated aroma-generating substrate is also solved. Furthermore, the introduction of inorganic particles into the heated aroma-generating body can or reducing the contact area between the heating element and the organic components of the heated aroma-generating substrate, regardless of the surface. This also has the effect of reducing contamination of the heating element of the heated smoking device.

[0069] Such inorganic particles are present as a gas generation sustaining material inside the heated aroma generating substrate. In order to achieve this, the heated aroma-generating base material is used as a raw material in the manufacturing process of the heated aroma-generating base material. The inorganic particles may be added to the generating base composition. The step (means) of adding the inorganic particles is not particularly limited. However, it is preferable to add it before wet mixing with tobacco material, etc.

[0070] On the other hand, in order to make it present on the surface of the heated aroma-generating substrate, the above-mentioned five manufacturing methods [equipment] are used. In the apparatus, after the step of producing the heated aroma-generating sheet, inorganic particles are added to the heated aroma-generating sheet. A step [means] of spraying the aroma-generating sheet onto the heated aroma-generating sheet, and a sheet processing method for producing the aroma-generating substrate to be heated. After the manufacturing step [means], there is a step [means] of scattering inorganic particles onto the heated aroma-generating substrate.

[0071] Inorganic particles include magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, titanium oxide, iron oxide, and aluminum oxide. metal oxides such as sodium, metal carbonates such as magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate metal phosphates such as titanium, potassium titanate, magnesium titanate, and zeola The silicon dioxide such as silicate, colloidal silica, fumed silica, etc. is preferable. It is more preferable that the average particle size is 1 to 100 μm. To achieve this, 0.1 to 10 parts by mass of inorganic particles are added to 100 parts by mass of non-tobacco material. It is preferable that

[0072] As described above, the aroma cartridge of the present invention includes a heated aroma-generating substrate that is in contact with a heating element. The heated aroma generating element is wrapped around the device, and the aerosol smoke and aroma generated by heating from the heating element a mouthpiece equipped with a filter for filtering gas components; a heated aroma generating unit; and a mouthpiece. and a cartridge outer casing that wraps the outer periphery of the aroma generating element and the aroma generating element to be heated so as to connect the aroma generating element and the aroma generating element to each other. At least one of the mouthpieces has a smoke and aroma component inhalation optimization means and a smoke and aroma component inhalation optimization means. The fragrance cartridge of the present invention has at least one gas-generating and sustaining material. The suction optimization means and the gas generation sustaining material in the present invention have been described. The complementary invention will be explained.

[0073] First, the filling rate of the heated aroma generating base material that constitutes the heated aroma generating unit is 60 to 90%. This is preferable for stable gas intake. If the filling rate exceeds this, gas intake becomes difficult. If the filling rate is less than this, the amount of gas released will be insufficient. To prevent adhesion, the filling rate is preferably 60 to 73%. However, as mentioned above, the aroma-generating substrate tends to fuse with the heat over time. A heated aroma-generating substrate manufactured by an improved manufacturing method [apparatus], and inorganic particles are contained in or on the surface This does not apply to heated aroma-emitting substrates that are present on the surface, and if the filling rate exceeds 73%, However, the adhesion does not become severe over time.

[0074] The aerosol former contained in the heated aroma-generating base material contains 100 parts by mass of non-tobacco material. The amount is preferably 50 to 80 parts by mass relative to the total mass of the aerosol. If the amount of volatilization of the aerosol former is insufficient, and if the amount is greater than this, the aroma will not be released when heated. The aerosol former bleeds out from the base material so much that the heated aroma-generating base material becomes too hot. To fuse.

[0075] Furthermore, the crosslinked PVP stabilizes the mass state of the aroma-generating base material when heated, and also It serves to retain aromatic components such as xylitol, and for 100 parts by mass of non-tobacco material, The amount is preferably 7 to 25 parts by mass, and if the amount is less than this, the function of the crosslinked PVP will not be exhibited. If the blending amount exceeds this range, the aroma components from the non-tobacco material, etc. will be insufficient.

[0076] The amount of microcrystalline cellulose is 7 to 25 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the non-tobacco material. This microcrystalline cellulose is a flowable powder and is preferably dissolved in water, ethanol, or other active ingredients. It does not dissolve in organic solvents and is used as an excipient for pharmaceutical tableting. The fluidity of cellulose and its high compressibility with large volume change make it suitable for tablet formation by direct compression. This is because it is effective in preventing cohesive failure and adhesion to the mold. The same effect can be achieved with other materials, and if the amount is less than the above, this function cannot be achieved. On the other hand, if the blending amount exceeds this limit, the blending ratio of other ingredients will be relatively insufficient, and the heated aromatic This has a negative effect on its function as a generating substrate.

[0077] Finally, β-cyclodextrin is used in an amount of 0.2 to 1.0 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the non-tobacco material. It is preferable that the amount of β-cyclodextrin is 2 parts by mass. At least this amount is necessary to retain the aroma components of the fragrance. Addition of menthol inhibits its function as a heated aroma-generating base material. It is known that menthol acts as a flavoring component, and it is preferable to add it when menthol is used as a flavoring component. .

The features of the aroma cartridge of the present invention are shown in the figures. To make it easier to enjoy the aroma cartridge, we will briefly explain how it works by attaching it to a heated smoking device. do.

[0103] FIG. 2(A) shows a needle-shaped needle attached to the bottom of a chamber 112 housed in a casing 111. Electrically heated smoking device with electrically controlled heating element 113 (1) 11 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of Figure 2(B) shows the aroma cartridge. 2 In the schematic diagram of the cross section of the The heated aroma generating element 21 and the mouthpiece 22 wrapped with the interior material 22-p are heated. Smoking accessories (1) 11 are wound by the cartridge exterior body 23 in a state where they are adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction. In Figure 2(C), a smoker is using an electrically heated smoking device (1). 1 1 Using the aromatic cartridge 2 The state of aspirating the aromatic compound shown in Figure 2(B) is shown. Incense cartridge 2 The heated aroma generating unit 21 is inserted into the chamber 112, and the electrically controlled aroma generating unit The aroma-generating object 21 to be heated is inserted into the heating element 113. The smoker presses a switch (not shown). Then, the electrically controlled heating element 113 heats up in accordance with a signal from an electric control unit (not shown). Aerosol smoke and aromatic components are released from the heated aroma generating unit 21 and are inhaled. When a smoker inhales, air enters through the intake port 115 and enters the casing 1 as shown by the arrow W. The aroma volatilized from the heated aroma generating material 21 passes through the gap between the aroma generating material 11 and the chamber 112. The solformer and the aromatic components are carried to the mouthpiece 22 and inhaled into the mouth of the smoker. The smoke cools in the mouthpiece 22 and is inhaled as an aerosol.

[0104] FIG. 3(A) shows an electric device provided on the outer periphery of a chamber 122 housed in a casing 121. Electrically heated smoking devices with controlled heating elements 123 (2) 12 FIG. Figure 3(B) shows a smoker using an electrically heated smoking device (2). 12 Using the aromatic cartridge 2 of The state of inhalation is shown. The aroma cartridge shown in Figure 3(B) 2 Aroma generated when heated When the body 21 is inserted into the chamber 122 through the aroma cartridge insertion port 124, the heated aroma The generator 21 is surrounded by an electrically controlled heating element 123. When a switch (not shown) is pressed, the electric The electrically controlled heating element 123 is heated in accordance with a signal from the heating control unit 1231, and the heated aroma generating element Aerosol smoke and aromatic components are released from the device 21 and inhaled by the smoker. As shown by the arrow W, air enters through the intake hole 125 and volatilizes from the heated aroma-generating element 21. The aerosol former and aromatic components are carried to the mouthpiece 22 and are introduced into the mouth of the smoker. The smoke is cooled in the mouthpiece 22 and inhaled as an aerosol.

[0105] In this type of smoking, the aroma cartridges made only of non-tobacco materials have a negative effect on the human body. It does not produce harmful substances, tar, or nicotine, and is compatible with coffee, cola, Red Bull, etc. Beverages, chocolate, vanilla, cream and other desserts, fruits such as oranges, lemons, melons, etc. It has the advantage of being able to enjoy a variety of flavors, such as refreshing aromas like sulphur, mint, and herbs. However, as a substitute for high-fiber tobacco materials, a wide variety of materials are available to release different flavors. There are problems associated with using non-tobacco materials.

[0106] The aerosol former containing tobacco is such that the fibers of the tobacco maintain their aggregated state and the tobacco The heated material, including non-tobacco material that does not contain a large amount of fiber, prevented the material from falling off and fusing. In order to stably maintain the mass state of the fragrance-generating base material, a binder that functions as a fiber is required. Therefore, the density of the heated aroma-generating base material becomes high, and the gas The flow path is blocked, making it difficult to suck in the components, and as a result, the amount of suction decreases.

[0107] In addition, aerosol formers are made from materials such as glycerin and propylene glycol, which are liquid at room temperature. Therefore, the more binder there is, the more it bleeds out from the heated aroma-generating base material over time, When heated, the aroma-generating substrates fuse together, blocking the gas flow path and making it difficult to absorb the aroma components. This makes it difficult to suction the heater, resulting in a decrease in the amount of suction. Not only will it be difficult to insert the heating element into the aroma-generating substrate, but it may also damage the heating element. do.

[0108] On the other hand, if the amount of binder added is reduced and a gas flow path is secured, the non-tobacco material will fall off, and dust, etc. This makes it difficult to maintain the shape of the fragrance cartridge firmly, and it is difficult to insert it into the heating element. These may be sucked into the oral cavity.

[0109] The present invention aims to provide a means for solving these problems. The aroma-generating substrate is heated to provide a gas flow path and prevent a decrease in the amount of suction.

Cavities, shape reinforcement parts to prevent a decrease in suction volume due to deformation, and damage to joints due to heat diffusion The object of the present invention is to provide a fragrance cartridge in which a heat insulating material is provided to prevent the heated fragrance cartridge from being damaged. A lid that prevents and captures non-tobacco material and dust as a means of optimizing suction on the aroma emitter. and / or to provide a fragrance cartridge provided with a partition material.

[0112] The latter chemical solution is a gas-generating and maintaining material that does not reduce the amount of suction of the heated aroma-generating device.

[0128] Next, as described in the description of Figures 13 and 14, the filter and support are attached to the mouthpiece. and / or a cooling member, and the length of the support member is increased to increase the amount of suction. The solution to the problem of the deformation of the mouse is explained in detail below. By preventing deformation of the mouthpiece, the amount of gas suction is reduced.

A porous body is preferable, and the function is to retain and cool the water to a certain extent, and the cooling member The function is not necessary, but the support member prevents the heated aroma generating element from moving toward the mouthpiece. Therefore, the length s of the insulating member depends on the material used. , about 1 to 5 mm is sufficient.

[0142] Next, the gaps in the filter and cooling element become clogged with non-tobacco material and dust. The lid and partition function as a suction optimization means to prevent the drastic decrease in suction volume caused by the The wall material will be explained using drawings.

[0143] FIG. 24 is a partial schematic view of a heated aroma generating body of an aroma cartridge according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0144] Such a lid material and a partition material are used for the heated aroma-generating substrate and the heated aroma-generating substrate bundled together. Depending on the condition of the body, you may have only one or both of these. Alternatively, the partition material prevents clogging of the filter and / or cooling element due to falling debris or dust. This ensures a stable amount of suction. It is also possible to prevent the generation of falling off materials and dust that may occur when the product is in use.

[0145] As mentioned above, the structure has been improved to ensure the amount of gas inhaled when smoking the aroma cartridge. The physical solution to this problem is explained in detail using the drawings. The present invention solves the problem and explains the gas generation sustaining material provided in the heated aroma generating unit using drawings. Conventional heated aroma emitters release a reduced amount of gas over time, which reduces the amount of gas inhaled during smoking. The aroma cartridge of the present invention reduces the amount of gas inhaled. A heated aroma generating device with a chemical solution as a gas generating sustaining material to prevent the loss of The device includes a heated aroma-generating substrate that forms the body.

[0146] First, FIG. 25 shows a heated aroma generating unit according to one embodiment of the present invention. Schematic diagram (A) of an aroma-generating sheet and a heated aroma-generating body according to one embodiment of the present invention. A schematic diagram of the heated aroma-generating filling material that constitutes the device (B) is shown.

[0147] The heated aroma-generating substrate is manufactured by various manufacturing processes [means], but ultimately it is a sheet or As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the heated smoking area is Smoke tools (1) 11 Ya(2) 12 The longitudinal direction and the length z direction correspond to each other, and are suitable for heated smoking devices. The material is cut to a length z according to the gas generation sustaining material, and has an appropriate width w and thickness y. Here, as an example, FIG. 25 is used, and the heated aroma generating unit described in FIG. The longitudinal direction of the aroma cartridge corresponds to the length z direction, and the The heated aroma-generating substrate is wrapped in paper to form the heated aroma-generating body. The heated aroma-generating sheet (A) has a length z of 12 mm, a width w and a thickness of 12 mm. The thickness is preferably in the range of 60 to 90 mm and 0.1 to 1.0 mm, respectively. The heated aroma-generating filling (B) has a length z of 12 mm, but the width x and thickness y are Preferably, the length is 1.0 to 2.0 mm and the thickness is 0.1 to 1.0 mm. The aroma-generating filling material is obtained by further cutting the heated aroma-generating sheet.

[0148] One heated aroma-emitting sheet is folded and placed in the heated aroma-emitting interior material 21- The heated aroma generating body wrapped in p is shown in FIG. 26(A-1), and the heated aroma generating body in FIG. 25(A) is shown in FIG. The heated aroma-generating body is wrapped with a single sheet of raw material and the heated aroma-generating body interior material 21-p. 26(A-2). In addition, 50 heated aroma-generating fillers are heated aroma-generating interior material 2 The heated aroma generating body wrapped with 1-p is shown in Figure 26(B). Ingredients (1) 11 Ya(2) 12 The value is set appropriately depending on the load, but the load If the diameter is 6.9 mm, the filling rate will be 60 to 90%. When the filling rate is 60-73%, it is not observed that the heated aroma-generating base material undergoes severe fusion over time. This filling rate is determined by the width w of the heated aroma-generating sheet and the amount of the heated aroma-generating filling. This does not apply if a gas generation sustaining material is present.

[0149] Below, we will discuss the gas release of heated aroma emitters, which is closely related to the decrease in the amount of gas inhaled during smoking. A gas generation sustaining material having the function of preventing a decrease in the amount of gas discharged and ensuring the amount of gas suction, namely: The heated aroma-emitting substrate to which the chemical solution is applied is specifically explained using drawings. The aroma cartridge of the present invention contains this compound as a gas generation maintaining material in a heated aroma generating body. The invention comprises a heated aroma-generating substrate having an organic solution applied thereto.

[0150] There are various methods and devices for manufacturing the aroma-generating substrate to be heated. As shown in Figure 33, the non-tobacco material is dried, crushed, and then dry-mixed to prepare the non-tobacco material. [Means] and aerosol former, binder, anti-adhesive agent, flavoring, non-tobacco material extract, antibacterial A step (means) of preparing a material selected from preservatives, etc.; and a step of preparing pure water and alcohol. a wet mixing process [means] for mixing these prepared materials together; A papermaking process [means] for producing a wet sheet from the slurry produced by mixing the slurry, and the wet sheet produced by papermaking. A molding process [means] for compressing or casting a sheet, and a molding process [means] for compressing or casting a sheet. a step (means) of drying the heated aroma-generating sheet; and cutting or folding the dried heated aroma-generating sheet. It is manufactured by a sheet processing process [means] that performs the following.

[0151] As a specific example, (Production Example 1) is shown.

[0152] (Production Example 1) The following ground materials were charged into a dry mixer as non-tobacco materials and dry mixed for 5 minutes. Dried and crushed black tea leaves 100 parts by weight 20 parts by weight of dried and crushed licorice Dried and crushed lotus leaves 10 parts by weight

[0153] The above dry mixture and the following materials were placed in a wet mixer and wet mixed for 15 minutes. Polypropylene glycol 25 parts by mass Glycerin 25 parts by mass Carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt 5 parts by mass Menthol 3 parts by weight Ethanol 3 parts by mass Pure water 200 parts by mass

[0154] In the step of forming a sheet from the slurry thus obtained, A specified amount of water was poured into a frame equipped with an appropriate tray to create a water-absorbent sheet. In this example, the water content of the water-containing sheet is approximately 95% if the water content of the above slurry is 100%. This is the amount of moisture.

[0155] Subsequently, the water-containing sheet is passed through a press roll with a predetermined clearance three times. Then, 7 parts by mass of the water-containing sheet was added to 100 parts by mass of the water-containing sheet that had been passed three times. The water-containing sheet was further passed through the press roll five times.

[0156] Furthermore, the formed water-containing sheet obtained as described above was dried in an environment of 35°C for 300 minutes. A heated aroma-emitting sheet with a moisture content of 20% by mass was prepared. The drying temperature was less than 50°C. It is preferable to keep the temperature below 45°C in order to maintain the flavor. The thickness of the sheet can be adjusted as needed, but in this manufacturing example, the thickness was set to 0.5 mm. This sheet was cut into rectangular heated aroma-generating containers measuring 240 mm long x 75 mm wide. The heated aroma-generating filling material was a sheet, 240 mm long x 1.5 mm wide. The length direction of the cut aroma-generating sheet and the filler is parallel to the rotation axis of the roll. The width direction was the direction of rotation of the roll.

[0157] One heated aroma-generating sheet and 50 heated aroma-generating fillers were prepared in this way. After being wound, each is cut to a length of 12 mm, and The aroma generating device to be heated shown in Fig. 26(B) was then fabricated. A type of aroma cartridge in which a heated aroma generating body is joined to a mouthpiece equipped with a material and a filter. The support member was a cylinder with an outer diameter of 6.9 mm and a through hole with an inner diameter of 4.0 mm. The filter is made of acetyl cellulose fiber formed into a cylindrical shape. Basis weight 34g / m 2 The cartridge was wrapped in paper and 23 mm long. The basis weight is 38 g / m 2 The paper is wrapped around the tube two and a half times to make the inner diameter 6.9 mm, and glued. The cartridge exterior body has a basis weight of 32 to 45 g / m 2 Wrap the paper around twice When using a paper tube that is half-wrapped, the heated aroma generating element can be placed inside the heated smoking device. It is suitable as an aromatic cartridge that is inserted into a heating element. A support member and a filter are inserted into one end of the ridge exterior body to form a mouthpiece, and from the other end After inserting the heated aroma generating device, place it over the mouthpiece with a basis weight of 40 g / m 2 The filter was wrapped with paper to prepare a fragrance cartridge. Clarify the effect of heating on aroma-generating substrates, i.e., the difference in the function of gas-generating sustaining materials. Therefore, a filter without a cavity, which is a means of optimizing suction, was used.

[0158] The heated aroma generating device and aroma cartridge thus prepared were evaluated as follows: was carried out.

[0159] <Rating 1> The fragrance cartridge was placed in a paper container measuring 70 mm long, 14 mm short, and 45 mm high. The heated aroma generating material was placed in the box so that it faced the bottom. The box containing the ridges was placed in a plastic bag and left at 40°C for two weeks. The contents are left in a room temperature and humidity environment for one day and then the following evaluations are carried out. Remove them from the body and check if they have solidified. The subjects were asked to smoke the cigarettes and a sensory evaluation of the amount of inhaled smoke and the flavor was conducted. Rank A: The item falls apart when removed with tweezers. The amount of suction and flavor can be fully appreciated by four or more people. Rank B: Can be loosened by pressing with tweezers Two or more people can fully appreciate both the amount of inhalation and the flavor. Rank C: When pressed with tweezers, lumps remain No one can fully detect the amount of inhalation or flavor. Rank C items are difficult to insert into the heating element of a heated smoking device due to long-term storage, etc. It is highly likely that this will happen.

[0160] The aroma cartridge produced in (Production Example 1) was rated as Rank C, and the aroma was not released when heated. The sheet and the heated aromatic filling are fused together over time, and the amount of gas released during smoking, i.e., the amount of gas The amount of inhaled air decreases, the flavor also changes, and the heated aroma acts as a sustaining gas generation material. I didn't.

[0161] This problem was solved by improving the manufacturing method [equipment]. This manufacturing method [equipment] is shown in Figure 27. As shown in the figure, the manufacturing process is characterized by the introduction of a second wet mixing step. As can be seen from the figure, the dry blending process [ [Means] Z1, a non-tobacco material produced by the dry mixing process [Means], an aerosol former, Mixing agent or thickener, cross-linked PVP, flavoring, non-tobacco extract, beta-cyclodextrin, microcrystalline A material selected from cellulose and an antibacterial preservative is mixed in a mixture of alcohol and pure water. A first wet mixing step [means] M2 and a first wet mixing step [means] Adding pure water and / or alcohol to the alcohol and pure water mixture containing non-tobacco materials, etc. a second wet mixing step [means] M3 for producing a slurry containing non-tobacco materials, etc.; A papermaking process [means] S1 for producing a water-containing sheet from the slurry produced in the mixing process [means]; , a sheet forming step [means] S2 in which the water-containing sheet is compressed and processed into a sheet, and a sheet forming step Drying step S (Means S) for drying the sheet produced by the means to produce a heated aroma-generating sheet. 3 and a sheet processing step [means] H1 in which the heated aroma-generating sheet is cut or folded. A heated aroma-generating substrate is prepared.

[0162] As a specific example, (Production Example 2) is shown.

[0163] (Production Example 2) The black tea leaves are dried at 70°C so that the moisture content is 2% by mass, and then crushed. The dried and crushed ingredients are liquorice, lotus leaves, and ginseng. The temperature is preferably 0 to 80°C. When the temperature is within this range, the required flavor components can be avoided from dissipating. Therefore, it is easier to reach the desired moisture content. In addition, if the temperature is 65°C or higher, it is even easier to reach the desired moisture content. If the temperature is below 75°C, the necessary aroma components can be prevented from dissipating.

[0164] It is preferable that the moisture content after pulverization is 5% by mass or less. It is more preferable that the water content is 3 mass % or less. If the amount is 0.1% by mass or more, it is possible to maintain a good affinity with water, etc., and this is preferable. .

[0165] In this way, the dried and crushed material passed through an 80-mesh sieve was classified as non-tobacco. The materials were used as materials, and the following blending amounts were added to a dry mixer and dry mixed for 5 minutes. Dried and crushed black tea leaves 100 parts by weight 20 parts by weight of dried and crushed licorice Dried and crushed lotus leaves 10 parts by weight 5 parts dried and crushed ginseng

[0166] The above dry mixture and the following materials were charged into a wet mixer, and a first wet mixing was carried out for 15 minutes. Polypropylene glycol 30 parts by mass Glycerin 20 parts by mass Carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt 5 parts by mass Menthol 3 parts by weight Ethanol 3 parts by mass Pure water 20 parts by mass

[0167] Next, 180 parts by mass of pure water and 10 parts by mass of ethanol were added to the wet mixer containing the slurry. An additional 100g of ethanol is added and the second wet mix is ​​carried out for 10 minutes. The dispersion state of the dried and pulverized material in polypropylene glycol and glycerin is large. This is because it can improve the quality of the alcohol. The amount of such a lower monoalcohol to be added is not limited to 1 / 2 of the dried and pulverized material. It is preferably 0.1 to 10 parts by mass relative to 00 parts by mass. When the amount is 10 parts by mass or less, the dispersion state is improved. This effect is more pronounced when the content is 0.5 to 5 parts by mass.

[0168] The reason for adding pure water first to form the mixture is to advance the dispersion of the mixture in advance, By diluting and mixing with additional water, a slurry with good dispersibility can be obtained. It is also preferable to add water in several batches. , a combination of less water added earlier and more water added later. In this way, the degree of improvement in dispersibility when water is added first is high, and the degree of improvement in dispersibility when water is added later is low. This is because adding a large amount of water results in a uniform slurry.

[0169] In the step (means) of forming a sheet from the slurry obtained as described above, The specified amount of lees was put into a frame equipped with an appropriate tray to create a water-absorbent sheet. In this example, the water content of the water-containing sheet is approximately 95% of the water content of the slurry. The moisture content is 100 degrees.

[0170] Subsequently, the water-containing sheet is passed through a press roll with a predetermined clearance three times. Then, 7 parts by mass of the water-containing sheet was added to 100 parts by mass of the water-containing sheet that had been passed three times. Parts of water was added to the water-containing sheet, and the sheet was passed through the press roll five more times. is 2 parts by mass or more and 15 parts by mass or less of water relative to 100 parts by mass of the water-containing sheet. When the moisture-containing sheet is molded multiple times, water is added in the middle of the molding process to prevent the moisture contained in the moisture-containing sheet. This has the effect of making it easier to keep the amount of water contained in the mixture within a certain range, and it also helps to keep the conditions for the subsequent drying process in order. This has the effect of making it possible to produce a uniform quality final product. This has the effect of:

[0171] Furthermore, the formed water-containing sheet obtained as described above was dried in an environment of 35°C for 300 minutes. A molded sheet for electronic cigarette filler with a moisture content of 20% by mass was prepared. The drying temperature was 5 A temperature of less than 0°C is preferred to maintain the flavor, and a temperature of less than 45°C is even more preferred. The temperature is less than 40°C. The thickness of the sheet is 0.5 mm. The heated aroma-emitting sheet has a length z of 240 mm and a width x of 75 mm. , and cut into heated aroma-generating fillings with a length z of 240 mm and a width x of 1.5 mm.

[0172] One heated aroma-generating sheet and 50 heated aroma-generating fillings manufactured by this method [device] After the book is wound, it is cut to a length z of 12 mm, and 26(B) was produced. ) as shown in FIG. 13, a heated aroma generating device is attached to a mouthpiece equipped with a support member and a filter. However, the filter was manufactured using a manufacturing method [device]. Clarify the effect of heating on aroma-generating substrates, i.e., the difference in the function of gas-generating sustaining materials. Therefore, a filter without a cavity, which is a means of optimizing suction, was used.

[0173] Then, just like the aroma cartridge produced in (Production Example 1), when we performed <Evaluation 1>, The result was a rank A. This means that the heated aroma-generating product produced by this method [apparatus] The base material is less susceptible to fusion over time within the heated aroma-generating base material and between other base materials. The amount of gas released changes little due to heat, and it is thought that the amount of gas inhaled when smoking is maintained. That is, the heated aroma-generating substrate produced by this method [apparatus] is It functions as a gas-generating sustaining material.

[0174] The manufacturing method [apparatus] shown in FIG. 27 has been improved as shown in FIG. The manufacturing method [apparatus] of FIG. 28 is the manufacturing method [apparatus] of FIG. 27 except for the sheet forming process [ In step S2, when the moisture content of the sheet becomes less than 50%, the aerosol former is Specifically, the method is characterized by further adding a step (means) S3 of adding the hydroxybenzoate. The amount of propylene glycol in the first wet mixing step is reduced by 10 parts by mass, Spray with a 50% solution of propylene glycol in ethanol at a temperature below 40°C. The sheet is then soaked in propylene glycol, and the propylene glycol reduced in the first wet mix is ​​then added. The concentration of the alcohol solution of the aerosol former was 20 to 100 ml. The 80% range is recommended in terms of the aerosol former's absorption and the alcohol's drying properties. If the concentration is too high, it is difficult to absorb, and if the concentration is too low, it takes time for the alcohol to dry. The temperature for absorption should be 20 to 50°C in terms of the aerosol former's absorption. If the temperature is too high, the aerosol former will evaporate rapidly, and if the temperature is too low, the aerosol former will be absorbed. It becomes difficult to collect.

[0175] Since the dispersion state in the second wet mixing was good, the propane in this step [means] The absorption of ethylene glycol was rapid. The heated aroma-generating substrate was also cut to the same size as in (Production Example 2) to prepare an aroma cartridge. When we performed <Evaluation 1>, we obtained a result of Rank A, and the product manufactured using this method [device] The heated aroma-generating sheet also functions as a gas generation sustaining material for the heated aroma-generating substrate. It became clear that:

[0176] The common improvement of the manufacturing methods [apparatus] of Figures 27 and 28 is the use of non-tobacco materials and aerosol powders. The reason for this is that the mixing and dispersion of non-tobacco materials and aerosol formers have been improved. The manufacturing method [apparatus] that does not go through the mixing and dispersion process [means] is the heated This is a manufacturing process [means] for the fragrance-generating base material.

[0177] That is, the dried and ground non-tobacco material that produces the gas-producing sustaining material is mixed with purified water. A wet mixing process [means] M1 for producing a slurry of non-tobacco material, and a wet mixing process [means] a papermaking step (means) S1 for producing a water-impregnated sheet from the slurry; and a papermaking step (means) S2 for compressing or S2, a sheet forming process [means] in which the sheet is cast and processed into a sheet. a drying step S3 for reducing the moisture content of the produced sheet to less than 50% by mass; The sheet manufactured by [means] is added with an aerosol former, a binder or thickener, a cross-linked PVP, a fragrance, Ingredients, non-tobacco extract, β-cyclodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose, sheet forming process [hand a concentrate of the water discharged in step [1], and an antimicrobial preservative selected from alcohol and an absorption and adsorption step [means] S4 of applying or immersing the pure water mixture; A drying step (S5) for drying the sheet produced in the step (S5) to produce a heated aroma-generating sheet. and a sheet processing step (means) H1 in which the heated aroma-generating sheet is cut or folded. A heat-generating aroma-generating substrate is produced.

[0178] A specific example of this manufacturing method (apparatus) is shown in (Manufacturing Example 3).

[0179] (Production Example 3) Wood fiber 50 parts by mass 50 parts by mass of dried black tea leaves Water 5000 parts by mass The above was mixed to form a slurry.

[0180] This slurry was cast into a sheet having a thickness of 0.5 mm. The water was concentrated and stored for use in the next step [Means].

[0181] The sheet was dried and the following was added per 100 parts by mass of the sheet: Polypropylene glycol 10 parts by mass Glycerin 20 parts by mass Carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt 2 parts by mass Menthol (50% ethanol solution) 3 parts by weight Concentrated cast residue water 50 parts by weight was added and dried to prepare a sheet.

[0182] The produced sheet was prepared in the same manner as in (Production Example 2), using a heated aroma generating unit and an aroma using the same. When we created a cartridge and performed <Evaluation 1>, we obtained a result of Rank A. The heated aroma-generating sheet manufactured by the method [apparatus] also contains the gas-generating sustaining material of the heated aroma-generating substrate. It has been shown to function as

[0183] The conventional manufacturing method [device] involves making a slurry of non-tobacco material and then making paper. The aroma-emitting sheet was produced by heating it, but as shown in Figure 29, A water-containing sheet made by papermaking using a slurry of only tobacco material is subjected to an aerosol former. The method [device] for absorbing flavorings, binders, etc. has produced good results, and various types of different properties have been The papermaking process [means] of making paper from a slurry of the material is considered to be unreasonable. As a result of investigating a manufacturing method [apparatus] that does not require this, the method [apparatus] shown in Figure 30 was discovered. This roll is characterized by the application of large shear and compression forces to the mixture of non-tobacco materials. are.

[0184] That is, the non-tobacco material preparation steps [means] Z1 and Z2 for drying and grinding the non-tobacco material, and At least flavoring and / or non-tobacco extracts with cross-linked PVP and / or β-cyclodextrin Flavoring and / or non-tobacco extracts are mixed with cross-linked PVP and / or β- A step M1 of dissolving flavoring and / or non-tobacco extracts to be retained in cyclodextrin; An aerosol former is prepared by mixing at least an aerosol former and a binder or a thickener with pure water. The material produced in the non-tobacco material preparation process [means] M2 and the flavoring and / or The material is made by a non-tobacco extract dissolution process [means] and an aerosol former dissolution process [means]. A wet mixing process [means] M3 that mixes the materials produced in the wet mixing process [means] a sheet-forming step (means) S1 in which the material is compressed to produce a heated aroma-emitting sheet; The heated aroma-generating sheet is cut or folded in a sheet processing step [means] H1. A method (apparatus) for producing an aroma-emitting substrate.

[0185] A specific example of this manufacturing method (apparatus) is shown in (Manufacturing Example 4).

[0186] (Production Example 4) In the non-tobacco material preparation steps Z1 and Z2, which dry and grind the non-tobacco material, black tea leaves are Used as a non-tobacco material, dried in an oven at 70°C, and then crushed using an agitator-type crusher. The mixture is then passed through an 80-mesh sieve to prepare a non-tobacco material with a moisture content of 2% by mass.

[0187] In the step M1 of dissolving menthol, menthol, a lower alcohol, and a non-aqueous Weigh out the soluble cross-linked polymer and mix it to dissolve the menthol. After dissolving the ingredients, it is preferable to add the water-insoluble cross-linked polymer and mix. Mixing a primary alcohol and a water-insoluble cross-linked polymer inhibits menthol dissipation. The effect is achieved.

[0188] Here, menthol is not limited to that obtained from natural products, and synthetic products can also be used. Also, peppermint, mint, peppermint oil, and other materials containing menthol may be used.

[0189] The lower alcohol is a solvent that dissolves menthol, and ethyl alcohol is particularly preferred. It is often used.

[0190] A water-insoluble cross-linked polymer is a non-cross-linked polymer that is soluble in water and cross-linked to make it water-soluble. Of course, it is intended to be insoluble and swell in lower alcohols. Such a water-insoluble cross-linked polymer is preferably selected. It has a hydrophilic part and a hydrophobic part, and the hydrophilic part contributes to swelling, and the hydrophobic part contributes to menthol. It is thought that the orientation of menthol suppresses the dissipation of menthol. Preferred examples of the mer include cross-linked PVP, water-soluble polysaccharides cross-linked with epoxy or ester. and cross-linked polysaccharides that have been ether-crosslinked to make them water-insoluble. When ethanol and cross-linked PVP were used, the dissipation of menthol was significantly suppressed. The effect was observed.

[0191] Menthol can be added in an amount that matches the desired flavor. The menthol content in the emulsion is preferably 0.1 to 10 mass %, more preferably 0.2 to 5 mass %. It is more preferable to do so.

[0192] When forming the heated aroma-generating base material, a hydrophilic crosslinker is used for 100 parts by mass of menthol. The amount of the crosslinked polymer added is preferably 10 to 2000 parts by mass, and more preferably 50 to 600 parts by mass. is more preferred.

[0193] In order to achieve the effect of suppressing menthol dissipation, it is necessary to add a hydrophilic crosslinker to the heated aroma-generating base material. The cross-linked polymer is preferably present in an amount of 2% by mass or more, and more preferably present in an amount of 4% by mass or more. By adding such an amount, it is possible to suppress the dissipation of menthol while It can be stored for a long time, and you can still enjoy the refreshing feeling of menthol even after long storage. In addition, the content of the hydrophilic crosslinked polymer in the heated aroma-generating base material is 20% by mass or less. It is preferable that the content is 10% by mass or less, and more preferable that the content is 10% by mass or less. This makes it possible to maintain the flavor resulting from non-plant-derived polyphenols and the like.

[0194] The amount of lower alcohol used is 50 parts by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of menthol. Furthermore, when the amount is 100 parts by mass or more, it is possible to dissolve menthol while forming a hydrophilic crosslinking agent. If the amount is 2000 parts by mass or less, the crosslinking polymer can be mixed sufficiently. This makes it possible to reduce the amount of residual lower alcohol in the final step, resulting in an efficient production process. It is possible to do this.

[0195] From the above, as an example, Menthol 100 parts by mass Ethyl alcohol 200 parts by mass Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone 200 parts by mass The menthol was dissolved in ethyl alcohol to prepare a menthol ethyl alcohol solution. After obtaining a solution, the cross-linked PVP was added to the menthol ethyl alcohol solution and mixed by stirring. A mixture of ethanol / ethyl alcohol / crosslinked PVP was obtained.

[0196] Next, the step (means) M2 of dissolving the materials such as the aerosol former is The ingredients, such as malt, flavor additives, preservatives, binders or thickeners, are dissolved in purified water.

[0197] Here, the aerosol formers include glycerin, propylene glycol, sorbitol, alcohol, triethylene glycol, lactic acid, diacetin (glycerin diacetate), tri Cetin (glycerin triacetate), triethylene glycol diacetate, citric acid Triethyl, isopropyl myristate, methyl stearate, dimethicone dodecane In particular, glycerin, propyl alcohol, dimethyl tetradecanoate, etc. can be used. These are preferably used in an amount of 1 to 8 times the amount of the aroma-generating base material to be heated. It is preferably used in an amount of 0% by mass, and more preferably in an amount of 10 to 40% by mass. .

[0198] Flavoring agents are used as needed to add flavor, such as peppermint, cocoa, coffee, and tea. Kissing is one example.

[0199] If necessary, an antibacterial food preservative can be added. , sorbic acid, potassium sorbate, benzoic acid, sodium benzoate, etc. can be used. .

[0200] As binders or thickeners, guar gum, xanthan gum, gum arabic, and Gums such as castor bean gum, hydroxypropyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose Modified cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, and ethyl cellulose Cellulose polymers, starch, organic acids such as alginic acid, sodium alginate, carbohydrates Conjugates of organic acids such as sodium hydroxymethylcellulose, caramel, agar, and pectin Polysaccharides such as base salts can be used. These can also be used in combination.

[0201] Among these, glycerin, propylene glycol, carboxymethyl cellulose sodium A 20% aqueous solution of thorium, methylcellulose, glucomannan, and xylitol was prepared. .

[0202] Next, the non-tobacco material preparation steps [means] Z1 and Z2, the flavor dissolving step [means] M1, and the aerosol In the step M3 of wet-mixing the materials in each step M2 of the Solformer dissolving step M3, Using a normal wet mixer, the following formulation was mixed for 15 minutes with a stirring blade while applying shear force. The mixture was stirred to prepare a composition for a heated aroma-generating substrate of a non-tobacco plant. Dried and crushed black tea leaves 100 parts by weight Menthol / ethyl alcohol / crosslinked PVP 25 parts by weight Glycerin 30 parts by mass Propylene glycol 30 parts by mass Sodium carboxymethylcellulose 4 parts by mass Methylcellulose 15 parts by mass Xylitol aqueous solution 8 parts by mass Glucomannan 1 part by mass

[0203] In the step S1 of forming a sheet, a three-roll mill was used. The sheet is placed in a roll mill, and 20 parts by mass of pure water is added while checking the sheet condition. The step of pressing the sheet against the roll to collect the sheet-like material is repeated eight times to obtain the final sheet. A non-tobacco plant composition in a tubular form was obtained. The compressive force caused by the roll speed difference and the shearing force caused by the roll speed difference are used to mix and disperse the materials. The doctor blade can be used to make a sheet of the desired thickness, and the slurry can be used in the papermaking process (manual). It is possible to produce a more uniform sheet than by producing a sheet from a three-roll mill. Alternatively, a press roller or a press machine can also be suitably used.

[0204] In the sheet forming step [means] S1, if necessary, non-tobacco plants, aerosol powders, Other additives may include sorbents, flavorings, antimicrobial preservatives, binders or thickeners, water, and the like.

[0205] The pure water used in the present invention may be sterilized or have microorganisms removed. Although it is preferable, pure water obtained by reverse osmosis or ion exchange may also be used.

[0206] In this sheet forming step [means] S1, the sheet was formed into a sheet having a thickness of about 0.5 mm. The thickness may be in the range of 0.1 to 1.0 mm, or 0.1 to 0.5 mm.

[0207] Next, this 0.5 mm thick heated aroma-emitting sheet was heated in the same manner as in (Production Example 2). After cutting into a thermal aroma-generating sheet and a heated aroma-generating filling material, the material is processed into a heated aroma-generating body; Assembled into an aroma cartridge. Then, when we performed the same evaluation 1, it received a rank of A. The results were obtained, and the heated aroma-generating sheet manufactured by this method [apparatus] also It has been revealed that it functions as a material that sustains gas production in the body.

[0208] As described above, the heated aroma-generating substrate using non-tobacco materials is a composition that constitutes it and The properties of these ingredients are diverse, and the unevenness of their mixing, dispersion, and dissolution state affects the aroma development process when heated. This can cause changes over time, such as bleeding out of the aerosol former from the raw base material, and can cause the aroma to be released when heated. It is clear that this is the reason why the amount of gas released from the raw substrate decreases and the amount of gas inhaled during smoking decreases. Therefore, by improving this non-uniformity, it is possible to understand the change over time in the amount of gas inhaled. I was able to decide.

[0209] Furthermore, the problem specific to aroma cartridges that use non-tobacco materials is that It was found that the reason for this is the binder or thickener, which is one of the constituent materials of the heated aroma-generating base material. These are the problems of clump destruction and damage caused by the inability to contain a large amount of fiber. It is added to prevent fusion occurring inside the heated aroma-generating base material and between the heated aroma-generating base materials. However, when the amount of added is increased, the density of the heated aroma-generating base material increases and it maintains a lump state. However, the heated aroma-generating base material shrinks over time, causing the aerosol former to burst. Therefore, the amount of binder added, the method of addition [equipment], and type As a result of examining the types, it was found that the heated aroma-generating substrate produced by the method [apparatus] shown in Figure 31 satisfies the above-mentioned requirements. I found that I could solve the problem.

[0210] That is, steps [means] Z1 and Z2 of preparing dried and ground non-tobacco material, and A step (means) M1 of preparing a first binder aqueous solution by dissolving a first binder; oma, cross-linked PVP, flavoring, non-tobacco extract, β-cyclodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose and an antimicrobial preservative. A first wet mixing step [means] M1 for mixing the materials prepared in the first wet mixing step [means] A curing process [means] Y1 for stabilizing the mixed liquid produced in the curing process [means] and the aqueous solution of the second binder prepared in step Z6 of dissolving the second binder in pure water. A second wet mixing step [means] M2 and the material produced in the second wet mixing step [means] a sheet forming step (means) S1 for compressing the heated aroma-generating sheet from the heated aroma-generating sheet; A heated sheet produced from a sheet processing step [means] H1 in which the generated sheet is cut or folded. The aroma-generating substrate can stably maintain a mass state and does not clog the gas flow path. No fusion between the heated aroma-generating substrates was observed over time.

[0211] A specific example of this manufacturing method (apparatus) is shown in Manufacturing Example 5.

[0212] (Production Example 5) In the step Z1 of drying and grinding the non-tobacco plant material, an aerosol former is used. It is preferable to adjust the amount of water so that the material can easily absorb or support pure water and other components. The drying temperature is preferably 60 to 80°C or less. Within this range, the required flavor components can be obtained. It is easy to reach the desired moisture content while avoiding dissipation. It is easy to reach the desired moisture content, and if the temperature is below 75°C, the necessary aroma components can be prevented from dissipating. It is preferable that the moisture content after drying and pulverization is 5% by mass or less. It is more preferable that the water content is 3 mass % or less. If the content is less than 0.1 mass%, the affinity with water etc. will decrease. By providing a sieving process, the non-tobacco plant material of the desired particle size can be obtained in the first wet mixing process. [Means] It can be added to M3, making it easy to make a slurry.

[0213] The first binder used in the step Z3 of dissolving the first binder in pure water is These include cellulose, konjac mannan (glucomannan), guar gum, pectin, Carrageenan, tamarind gum, gum arabic, soybean polysaccharides, locust bean gum Examples of suitable sugars include sucrose, karaya gum, xanthan gum, agar, and corn starch. Regarding viscosity, if the solution viscosity is 300 mPa·s or more, it is suitable for non-tobacco use. In addition, if the solution viscosity is 5000 mPa·s or more, it can be easily mixed with non-tanning plants. It is suitable for binding bamboo plants. The viscosity of the solution was measured using a Brookfield viscometer. Prepare a 1% aqueous solution using the ethanol solution, and start the rotor rotation at 10-30 rpm under an environment of 25°C. This is the measured value when the displayed value first stabilizes. The upper limit of measurement is 100,000 mPa·s, but viscosities exceeding this limit are also considered to be the above-mentioned viscosities. Get into range.

[0214] The celluloses preferred as the first binder are generally cellulose, cellulose derivatives, and metal salts thereof, but the present invention includes those that are water-soluble and can be used to bind non-tobacco plants. From the viewpoint of bundling, such celluloses are particularly preferred. cellulose, ethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxyethyl cellulose, Hydroxymethylcellulose, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Hydroxypropylcellulose and their metal salts such as sodium, potassium, calcium, etc. Among these, metal salts of celluloses are more preferred, and carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salts are Sodium is even more preferred.

[0215] The aerosol former used in the step [means] Z4 of preparing the aerosol former These include glycerin, propylene glycol, sorbitol, triethylene glycol, Lactic acid, diacetin (glycerin diacetate), triacetin (glycerin triacetate) Triethylene glycol diacetate, triethyl citrate, isopropyl myristate propyl, methyl stearate, dimethyl dodecanedione, ditetradecanedione Methyl alcohol and the like can be used, but glycerin and propylene glycol are particularly preferred. is used in the range of 1 to 80 mass % of the composition of the heated aroma-generating base material, and particularly, It is preferably 0 to 40% by mass.

[0216] In the step [means] Z5 of preparing other ingredients, flavor may be added as needed. To achieve this, flavorings and flavorings such as menthol, peppermint, cocoa, coffee, and tea extracts are used. Cross-linked PVP and β-cyclodextrin with retention function, peelability and composition with molds, etc. Microcrystalline cellulose for moldability, sorbic acid and potassium sorbate for shelf stability, Antibacterial food preservatives such as benzoic acid and sodium benzoate may be added.

[0217] The materials prepared as above are mixed in the first wet mixing step [means] M1. For example, the material in the mixing tank is subjected to shear force by a stirring blade. A mixer that mixes the ingredients while stirring may be used, or a roll mill, kneader, or extruder may be used. It is possible to further intensify the mixing by kneading. The mixing temperature in this step is 4 It is preferable that the temperature is 0°C or lower, more preferably 30°C or lower, and it is preferable that the temperature is kept at about 25°C. If excessive heat is applied during mixing, the aroma components may dissipate. Therefore, it is necessary to control the temperature of the mixing tank.

[0218] The first mixture produced in the first wet mixing step [means] M1 is mixed at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time. It is preferable to go through a curing step [means] Y1 in which the material is left to stand for a while, but it is not a required step [means]. The binder must be added separately in the first mixing step [means] and the second mixing step [means]. In this way, the non-tabular product that has not undergone the curing step [means] Y1 in which the binder is added in portions is The material mixture and the cured mixture that has undergone the curing step [means] Y1 are heated and the aroma-generating substrate is then ... When the product is processed into a cartridge and evaluated for smoking using a heated smoking device as shown in Figure 2, The amount of inhaled air and the flavor are both improved. Even when storage stability is evaluated in a hot and humid environment, the aroma of the product remains unchanged. There is no fusion between the inside of the generating substrate and the heated aroma-generating substrate, and the aerosol smoke and The amount of aroma components released from non-tobacco materials, i.e., the amount of inhalation, does not change over time, and there is no change in flavor. In particular, the effect is remarkable when tea is used as a non-tobacco material, which is preferable. However, the curing step (means) Y1 can further enhance these effects.

[0219] The temperature of the curing step (means) Y1 is preferably 15 to 30°C, more preferably 18 to 24°C. It is more preferable that the temperature is 15°C or higher, and the flavor improving effect described above is enhanced. This suppresses the change in the amount of inhalation and the change in flavor over time, and maintains the improvement in flavor over time. This effect is more pronounced at temperatures between 18 and 24°C. The time for step (means) Y1 is preferably 72 to 336 hours, and more preferably 96 to 192 hours. It is more preferable to leave it for 72 hours or more, as the flavor will improve. This suppresses the change in the amount of inhalation and the change in flavor over time, and maintains the improvement in flavor over time. These effects are more pronounced in the 96-192 hour period. It is preferable that the curing be carried out in a sealed state after the first wet mixing. This is to prevent this.

[0220] The mixture immediately after the first wet mixing and the mixture that has been cured after the first wet process [means] are The second wet mixing step [means] M2 is a second wet mixing step [means] M2. The characteristic of this method is that the first binder and the second binder are added and mixed. The effect of adding the ingredients in portions was to improve the initial intake amount and flavor, and to reduce the change in intake amount and flavor over time. In addition to this effect, it becomes easier to form the sheet into a desired shape in the sheet forming step (means) H1. In addition, mixing becomes easier than adding in the first step [means], and the viscosity of the mixture becomes uniform. This is because the time required for the viscosity to be reached can be shortened and viscosity adjustment becomes easier.

[0221] The second binder, like the first binder, may be cellulose, konjac mannan (glucose, Co-mannan), guar gum, pectin, carrageenan, tamarind gum, arabic gum, soybean polysaccharides, locust bean gum, karaya gum, xanthan gum, agar, starch, Although starch and the like can be used, polysaccharides other than cellulose are preferred. As with the first binder, if the solution viscosity is 300 mPa·s or more, Furthermore, if the solution viscosity is 5000 mPa·s or higher, it is possible to mix it with non-tobacco plant materials. It is suitable for binding things. The viscosity was also measured using the above-mentioned method [device]. The upper limit of measurement for the Brookfield viscometer is 100,000 mPa·s. Viscosities exceeding the upper limit also fall within the above-mentioned viscosity range.

[0222] As the second binder, polysaccharides are preferably used. Among polysaccharides, water-soluble or It is preferable to use a substance that swells or gels when it absorbs water. By using this, the molded aroma-emitting substrate to be heated can be kept in a lump state, which improves moldability and This reduces the occurrence of sheet breakage, non-tobacco material falling off, etc. during the sheet forming step [means] H1. Such polysaccharides include glucomannan, guar gum, pectin, carrageenan, When adding these, the viscosity of the solution should be adjusted as follows: It is preferable to use a binder with a viscosity higher than that of the other binder. By using this, the processability in the sheet forming step (means) 11 is further improved. However, glucomannan is the most preferred.

[0223] In this second wet mixing step (means) M2, menthol, mint, etc. may be further added as needed. Flavoring agents such as cocoa, coffee, and tea extracts, and cross-linked P with the function of retaining flavoring agents Microcrystalline cellulose with excellent releasability and moldability from VP, β-cyclodextrin, and molds , sorbic acid, potassium sorbate, benzoic acid, sodium benzoate for shelf stability A manufacturing method [apparatus] in which antibacterial food preservatives such as those described above are prepared and added in the same manner as in step [means] Z5. It may be preferable to do so.

[0224] When the materials prepared as above are mixed in the second wet mixing step [means] M2, As in the wet mixing step [means] M1, a conventional wet mixer can be used. A mixer that mixes the materials in the mixing tank while applying shear force with a stirring blade may also be used. It is also possible to further strengthen the mixing by using a mill, kneader, or extruder. The mixing temperature in this step [means] is preferably 40°C or less, and more preferably 30°C or less. It is more preferable that the temperature is kept below 25°C, and even more preferable that the temperature is kept at about 25°C. If excessive heat is applied, the aroma components may dissipate. Degree control is necessary.

[0225] Next, the composition of the heated aroma-generating substrate containing the non-tobacco material produced in the second wet mix M2 The composition is put into a sheet forming step [means] H1 and formed into a desired shape. For use as an aroma-generating substrate, sheet forming processes such as roll forming and press forming are preferred. However, it is not limited to this. A method of passing the material through an orifice under pressure to form it into a rod shape [apparatus] Alternatively, a method or apparatus for crushing the material into granules after drying may be employed.

[0226] Here, we will explain the sheet forming process suitable for producing the aroma-generating substrate to be heated. One method [apparatus] used was to form the mixture into sheets using a three-roll mill. When using this method, the compressive force caused by being pressed between the narrow rolls and the shear force caused by the speed difference between the rolls are eliminated. The material is kneaded and dispersed by shear force, and then cut into a sheet of the desired thickness by a doctor blade. The composition of the present invention is a mixture of a wide variety of materials with different properties. It is particularly preferable for such sheet molding. In this way, the three-roll mill can process the mixture into a sheet while kneading and dispersing it. This complements the first and second wet mixing processes, making it possible to achieve a more favorable mixed and dispersed state. Therefore, when a three-roll mill is used in the second wet mixing step [means] M2, There is no difference in the equipment between the second wet mixing step [means] M2 and the sheet forming step [means] H1, This means that mixing and molding are carried out within the same process.

[0227] In this way, mixing and dispersion can be performed in sheet molding using a three-roll mill, Optionally, non-tobacco materials, aerosol formers, binders or thickeners, flavorings, cross-linked PVP β-cyclodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose, antibacterial preservatives, pure water, etc. are also added. It can also be called a method [device].

[0228] The heated aroma-generating base material is obtained by adding the first binder and the second binder separately. In order to clarify the characteristics of the manufacturing method [apparatus], the materials used are common and the processed materials are The form of the thermal aroma-generating substrate was limited to a filler, and the method was compared with the conventional manufacturing method [device]. The present invention will be explained by way of production examples and working examples.

The first mixture was placed in a polyethylene bag, sealed, and stored at 20°C for 6 days (144 hours). After the curing step (means) Y1, the apparent volume was about 1. When the second curing mixture after the curing process [means] Y1 was checked, it was found that the It was observed that the amount of loose powdered tea was reduced, and the curing was stable and uniformly dispersed.

This was then cut into a length of 12.0 mm to form a heated aroma generating device. The mass of the living organism is 0.29 g, and the volume filling ratio of the filling material to its volume is 0.60. It was.

The process of pressing the mixture against the filter to collect the sheet-like material is repeated eight times. A heated aroma-emitting sheet with a thickness of 0.3 mm was prepared. When making the sheet, there were difficulties. Also, although the sheet was made, the measurement of the evaluation A was It was something that couldn't be done.

A support member and a filter are inserted into one end to form a mouthpiece, and a heated aroma emitter is inserted into the other end. After inserting the living body, the tissue is placed in a 40g / m² tissue bag so that it overlaps the mouthpiece. 2 Wrapped in paper However, the filter was manufactured by the manufacturing method [device] using a heated aroma generating group. In order to clarify the effect on the material, i.e., the difference in the function of the gas-generating sustained material, A filter without a cavity, which is a means for purifying the filter, was used.

[0245] Example B The same procedure as in Example A was carried out except that the heated aroma generating material prepared in Example B was used. An aroma cartridge was created.

[0246] Example C The same procedure as in Example A was carried out, except that the heated aroma generating material prepared in Example C was used. An aroma cartridge was created.

[0247] Example D The same procedure as in Example A was carried out except that the heated aroma generating material prepared in Example D was used. An aroma cartridge was created.

[0248] Comparative Example The same procedure as in Example A was carried out except that the aroma generating material to be heated prepared in Comparative Example was used. However, when making the aroma cartridge, the aroma was generated by heating. The filling was too soft, making it difficult to make.

[0249] The heated aroma-emitting sheet and aroma cartridge prepared as described above were as follows: In addition to the evaluations below, we also performed <Evaluation 1>.

[0250] <Rating A> A tensile strength test was conducted on the heated aroma-emitting sheet. The sample was a heated aroma-emitting sheet 10.0 cm wide and 2 cm long. The specimen was cut to 2.0 cm, and the clamp distance for the tensile strength test was 20.0 cm. Measurements were taken at a loss head speed of 10 cm / min. The test environment was a room temperature of 20°C and humidity of 50%. The heated aroma-emitting sheets produced using each manufacturing method (device) were evaluated by comparing the breaking strength. , breaking strength is 3.9N / mm 2 More than 5.0N / mm 2 With strength of more than The molding process, aroma cartridge production, initial suction volume, initial flavor, and suction volume The results showed that the overall taste was favorable, including the change in flavor over time.

[0251] <Rating B> The heated smoking device used is a Philip Morris heated electric device as shown in Figure 2(A). The IQOS (registered trademark) device, a small cigarette, was used. The heating element was 4.5 mm wide and had a tip. The length of the chamber is 12 mm and the thickness is 0.4 mm. The inner diameter of the chamber is 7 mm. The outer diameter of the fragrance cartridge is 6.9mm so that the fragrance cartridge can be inserted without any gaps. The heating element is supplied by a battery installed inside the heated electronic cigarette. The power generated by the heater generates heat, reaching approximately 350°C. The consumption of one e-cigarette cartridge is completed after 14 puffs. When the smoking tobacco cartridge of the embodiment is inserted, the electronic cigarette device body is pushed outward from the downstream side. The fragrance cartridge portion that appears in the figure is about 20 mm. The prepared aroma cartridge was inserted into the chamber of the electronic cigarette device and a smoking test was conducted. Both the amount of inhalation and the flavor are sensory evaluations of the oral cavity during smoking. In particular, the flavor is related to the aroma of tea. The aroma cartridge was evaluated immediately after preparation and after being left as in Evaluation 1. The test was conducted on five subjects. The evaluation criteria were as follows: Rank A: When smoking, there is sufficient inhalation, there is no resistance to the inhalation, and you can enjoy the aroma of tea. It's a level. Rank B: When smoking, the amount of inhalation is insufficient, there is resistance to inhalation, and the tea aroma is unsatisfactory. It is at an unbelievable level.

[0252] <Evaluation C> The falling off of the filling material after smoking was evaluated. The evaluation method [device] was to measure the falling off of the filling material after smoking. The heated aroma generating unit was oriented vertically downward, and the presence or absence of the heated aroma generating filling falling was observed. The price standards are as follows: Rank A: No falling objects seen Rank B: Some of the filling has fallen off

[0253] The test results are shown in Table 1. As is clear from Table 1, the molding process, the preparation of the fragrance cartridge, Initial intake volume and flavor, changes in intake volume and flavor over time, and aroma generation during heating The effect of adding the binder in portions was recognized in both cases of fusion of materials, and curing was further improved. Therefore, the aroma-generating base material to be heated and to which the binder is added in portions can enhance the effect of the above. The heated aroma-generating substrate produced by the curing process [means] is used to maintain the gas generation capacity of the aroma cartridge. It is clear that it functions as a continuation material.

[0254] [Table 1]

[0255] The manufacturing method [apparatus] affects the internal structure of the heated aroma-generating substrate and ensures proper manufacturing. Gas generation from aroma cartridges made using heated aroma-generating substrates prepared by the method [apparatus] It was found that the material functions as a sustaining material. We have found something that works as a catalyst: inorganic particles.

[0256] The effect of inorganic particles will be explained in concrete examples. As the method [apparatus], (Production Example 1) was adopted, and the heated aromatic The influence of various inorganic particles on the gas generation sustainability of the generating substrate was evaluated as follows.

[0257] According to (Production Example 1), the heated aroma generating body is produced and the aroma cartridge is assembled. However, in this example, as shown in the spraying step [means] H2 in FIG. 32, The heated aroma-emitting sheet was cut into a length of 12 mm x width of 1.5 mm (thickness of 0.5 mm). After preparing the heated aroma-generating filling, various inorganic particles are added in a predetermined amount to A process [means] of scattering and dusting the material on the surface of the packing was added to ensure that the material adheres evenly to the surface. The process [means] aims to uniformly attach inorganic particles to the surface of the heated aroma-generating filling material. In this step, inorganic particles are attached to the surface of the aroma-generating filling material to be heated. The surface was observed under a microscope to confirm that the inorganic particles were attached. The aroma-emitting filling to be heated is processed into an aroma-emitting article to be heated, and the aroma-emitting article is then heated and processed into an aroma-emitting article according to (Production Example 1). Furthermore, in order to clarify the effect of inorganic particles, the filling rate was increased. The aroma cartridge thus produced was subjected to <Evaluation 1>. The heated electronic cigarette device described in "Evaluation B" was used to conduct the following "Evaluation 2."

[0258] <Rating 2> The aroma cartridge was attached to the heating element 113 when used as shown in FIG. 2(C). After checking for soiling, the following evaluations were carried out.

The aroma was then emitted from the aroma generating device and the mouthpiece. The incense cartridge was assembled. The filling rate of the filling material was measured and found to be 65%. It was.

[0266] (Comparative example I) The heated aroma-generating sheet prepared in (Production Example 1) was cut as described above. 0.29 g of the aroma-generating filling material was used as it was to prepare a heated aroma-generating unit. The aroma generating element to be heated and the mouthpiece were assembled into an aroma cartridge. The filling rate of the material was measured and found to be 81%.

[0267] The evaluation results are shown in Table 2. As is clear from the table, inorganic particles with a wide range of particle sizes Regardless of the material, it functions as a material that generates sustained gas. As is clear from the results, the heated aroma-generating filler does not fuse over time, and The amount of gas released, i.e., the amount of gas inhaled and the flavor, change little over time. The reason why this occurs is unclear, but it is thought to be as follows: The inorganic particles present on the surface of the packing When the inorganic particles are present, they act as spacers to reduce the contact area between the fillers, preventing them from being exposed to high temperatures for a long time. Even if the aerosol former is placed in a container, it has the effect of preventing the fusion of the filled materials caused by bleeding out of the aerosol former. and that inorganic particles have the effect of suppressing the bleed-out of aerosol formers. There are some possibilities.

[0268] [Table 2]

[0269] Furthermore, as is clear from <Evaluation 2>, inorganic particles also have the effect of preventing contamination of the heating element. In particular, it is preferable that the average particle size of the inorganic powder to be added is 1 to 50 μm. The added inorganic powder has a good effect, and if it is 5 μm or more, the contamination prevention effect is further enhanced. When the amount of addition is 0.01 to 5 parts by mass, a good effect is obtained, and when it is 0.1 part by mass or more, an even better effect is obtained. The reason why inorganic particles have the effect of preventing heat generation is unclear. However, it is speculated that inorganic substances are difficult to decompose by heat, and that the heating element of the aroma cartridge When the inorganic particles are desorbed, they polish the surface and remove contaminants. The contact area between the surface and the heated aroma-generating filling material can be reduced.

[0270] To obtain such an effect, the inorganic particles should have an average particle diameter of 1 to 100 μm. If the average particle size is less than 1 μm, the effect of the inorganic particles will be reduced. On the other hand, if the particle size is 5 μm or more, the effect of the inorganic particles is enhanced, which is more preferable. It is even more preferable that the particle size is 10 μm or more. Although the filling rate is reduced, if it is 50 μm or less, the effect of inorganic particles is large and the minimum necessary It is possible to ensure the filling rate.

[0271] The minimum filling rate here is closely related to the amount of gas that is drawn in by heating. If the filling rate is less than 60%, the amount of gas released by heating is not sufficient, and the smoker's Therefore, it is more preferable to set the suction volume to 65% or more. More preferably, a filling rate of 70% or more is required. This creates a problem where there is little space between the fillings, making it difficult to smoke and insert into the heating element. occurs.

[0272] In addition, such a filling rate is determined by the ratio of the amount of the aroma-generating base material to be heated to the amount of the aroma-generating base material to be heated in the cross section of the aroma-generating body to be heated. It can be evaluated by calculating the area ratio. The filler and the void area without filler were evaluated. A microscope (Keyence VHX-2000) was used, and the magnification was 100x. The image was projected onto the surface. Only the filler and the voids without filler were visible in the image analysis range. In this case, the area is 3.5mm wide and 2.6mm long for an observation sample with a diameter of 7.0mm. Within the above range, image analysis was performed using the attached software, and the In the "Extraction Mode" section, set "Brightness". For measurement, select "Standard" and set "Extraction Parameters". " was set to "bright" and the "threshold" was selected so that the filling and voids to be observed could be separated. The filling rate was defined as the ratio of the filler to the entire area.

[0273] The average particle size of the inorganic particles in the present invention is determined by a laser diffraction / scattering method. The particle size distribution was determined by a wet method using a particle size distribution measuring device. The average particle size of the present invention was The volume-based distribution is accumulated for the range of 0.02 μm to 2000 μm, and the The resulting median diameter D 50 Refers to...

[0274] Furthermore, the presence of inorganic particles in the present invention can be confirmed not only by microscopic observation during the manufacturing process [means] but also by the This was also confirmed by observing the surface of the packing using an optical microscope or an electron microscope. This was also confirmed by microscopic or electron microscopic observation of the pyrolysis residue of the filling material. This is based on the observation results of about 10 images with a field of view of 100 μm x 100 μm. X-ray microanalysis (X) confirmed that the inorganic particles in the residue were the added inorganic particles. The results were confirmed using a scanning electron microscope equipped with a TEM (Magnetic Electron Microscope).

[0275] The amount of inorganic particles added must be at least 100 parts by mass of the filler in order to achieve the desired effect. 0.001 parts by mass is necessary, and 0.01 parts by mass or more is more preferable, and 0. It is even more preferable that the amount of the filler is 100 parts by mass or more. If the filling rate exceeds this level, the amount of gas drawn and the flavor will be affected. From this viewpoint, the amount is more preferably 5 parts by mass or less, and even more preferably 2 parts by mass or less. It is even more preferable.

[0276] The inorganic substance that can be used as the inorganic particles of the present invention is not particularly limited, but may be a chloride. Metal chlorides such as sodium and potassium chloride, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, oxide Titanium, iron oxide, and metal oxides such as alumina, magnesium carbonate, and calcium carbonate metal carbonates such as magnesium sulfate and calcium sulfate; metal sulfates such as calcium phosphate; and titanium phosphates such as potassium titanate and magnesium titanate. The acid salts can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Silicon oxides such as silica and fumed silica, as well as natural products such as diatomaceous earth and vermicelli. In particular, magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, calcium oxide, etc. Iodine and alumina are preferred.

[0277] In this way, the inorganic particles are dispersed in the heated aroma-generating substrate in the dispersion step (means) H2 of FIG. It can be attached to the spraying step (means) S4 of FIG. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 28 to 31, inorganic particles can be added to the aroma-generating composition to be heated. In this way, a heated aroma-emitting substrate containing inorganic particles can be produced. In this case, the inorganic particles are not present only on the surface of the heated aroma-generating substrate, but the effect of the inorganic particles Therefore, it has been confirmed that inorganic particles function as a sustained gas generation material. The reason is that the inorganic particles act as spacers to prevent fusion between the heated aroma-generating substrates, increasing the contact area. Not only does this decrease, but the aerosol former, non-tobacco, It is speculated that this is hindering the movement of the constituent materials, such as polymer materials and binders. When inorganic particles are used as fillers in the This is based on the improvement of chemical properties such as hardness, and physical properties such as tensile strength and modulus of elasticity.

[0278] As described above, the present invention has improved the manufacturing method (apparatus) to enable the aroma-generating substrate to generate gas upon heating. The heated aroma generating material functions as a sustaining material, and inorganic particles function as a gas generation sustaining material. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 33, a heated aroma generating device can be provided. It is also possible to provide a fragrance cartridge that does not require a gas suction optimization means on the base. Of course, the heated aroma generator with the gas generation sustaining material and the gas suction optimization means A fragrance cartridge combined with a mouthpiece may also be provided.

It has a harmless fragrance derived from plants, so it is suitable for both those who have experience with flame smoking and those who are just starting out. To provide an aromatic cartridge that allows smokers to enjoy smoking with the same sensation as smoking a cigarette. This has a negative impact on the health of not only smokers but also non-smokers around them. Enjoy smoking free, induce alpha waves in the brain, have a healing effect, and promote health and beauty. It is a new smoking device that is useful for the user. It is also equipped with a gas inhalation optimization means and a gas generation sustaining material. Because it is a fragrance cartridge, even if it is stored for a long period of time, the smoke and fragrance components are not absorbed. Therefore, the fragrance cartridge of the present invention has the characteristic of not changing the amount of intake and the feeling of pressure. The technology can be widely applied to incense sticks, burning incense, powdered incense, linimentary incense, aromatherapy, etc. There is a gender. [Explanation of symbols]
