Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Conventionally, the above "heat-generating aromatic generation base material" has often been referred to as an "aerosol-forming base material". However, by heating, together with the aerosol former that forms aerosol, the fragrance components of aromatic source materials such as aromatic plants and fragrances are also volatilized, and the smoke of the aerosol and the fragrance of the aromatic source materials and fragrances are enjoyed by smoking. Therefore, in the present invention, it is referred to as a "heat-generating aromatic generation base material". Based on this, an "aerosol-forming body" filled with an aerosol-forming base material and an "electronic cigarette cartridge" provided with the aerosol-forming body are referred to as a "heat-generating aromatic generation source" and a "heat-generating aromatic cartridge", respectively.

Background Art

[0003] In recent years, as smoking bans have become widespread in places where people gather, such as workplaces and restaurants, the number of people who smoke by burning cigarettes with a flame has decreased. Conversely, the number of people who smoke heated aroma cartridges equipped with a heated aroma source, which is formed using a heated aroma-generating substrate containing an aerosol former that generates an aerosol through heat transferred by a heat source such as a heater, and an aroma source material including tobacco plants of the Solanaceae family, has been rapidly increasing. This heated smoking method reduces the inhalation of harmful components produced by the thermal decomposition and combustion of conventional cigarettes, and technological development related to various products for enjoying heated smoking is actively underway (for example, Patent Documents 1-5).

[0004] The mechanism of such heated smoking varies depending on the form of the heated smoking device and the heated fragrance cartridge, but a typical example is shown below. A heated fragrance cartridge, which has a heated fragrance source filled with a heated fragrance generating base material at one end and a mouthpiece at the other end, is mounted so that the heated fragrance source comes into contact with the heat source of the heated smoking device and is heated. At the same time, volatile substances from the fragrance source material, including aerosol former and tobacco plants, are released from the heated fragrance source, and these volatile substances are drawn in with the air towards the mouthpiece at the other end by the smoker's inhalation. In this volatile substance transport process, the volatile substances of the aerosol former cool and condense to form an aerosol resembling smoke, while the other volatile substances provide fragrance to the smoker's mouth and nose, resulting in the enjoyment of smoking. Therefore, in the case of heated tobacco products, smoking can be done at a temperature of approximately 200-350°C, which is the temperature at which the thermal decomposition of tobacco leaves begins, and the aerosol formers such as glycerin and propylene glycol contained in the heated aroma-generating substrate can be volatilized. Since the tobacco leaves do not burn, the generation of harmful substances is extremely small, and the amount of harmful substances inhaled by smokers and passive smokers around them is greatly reduced.

[0005] To further reduce harmful substances, material designs have been implemented to reduce the tobacco content in the heated aroma-generating substrate that constitutes the heated aroma source. For example, non-tobacco plants that generate various aromas are used in combination as a substitute material for tobacco plants, and even nicotine-free heated high aroma-generating substrates have been developed that allow for pleasant smoking using only non-tobacco plants without using any tobacco plants at all (Patent Document 5). On the other hand, efforts are being made to effectively utilize materials and reduce material costs by using tobacco stems, leaf fragments, and dust generated in the conventional tobacco manufacturing process.

[0006] In contrast, conventional flame smoking, which burns tobacco with a flame, requires a temperature of at least 600°C for combustion, and can reach up to 900°C during smoking, resulting in an extremely high amount of harmful substances being produced. However, because it contains no components other than the tobacco plant, the combustion of tobacco produces plenty of smoke that satisfies the smoker's visual desires, nicotine which is the root cause of tobacco addiction, and countless aromatic components.

[0007] Due to the fundamental differences in the mechanisms of heated smoking and incandescent smoking, the heated aroma-generating base material used in the heated aroma source that constitutes the heated aroma cartridge equivalent to a conventional cigarette is composed of materials that suppress not only the aroma and nicotine emitted from tobacco plants that smokers desire, but also various aromas emitted from non-tobacco plants.

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

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

[0010] The aerosol former, an essential component of the heated aroma-generating substrate, is a liquid such as glycerin or propylene glycol. Therefore, a highly safe binder is used to ensure that it is retained even when mixed with tobacco and non-tobacco plants. Typical examples include polysaccharide-based natural polymers and cellulose-based natural polymers. Furthermore, cellulose fibers may be added to enhance their binding strength and enable the molding process into columnar heated aroma-generating substrates.

[0011] In addition to serving a similar purpose, microcrystalline cellulose may be added as a molding agent to reduce shrinkage during drying of the heated aromatic substrate and to improve its moldability.

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

[0013] Thus, the heated fragrance generating base material that forms the heated fragrance source in the heated fragrance cartridge of heated tobacco products must use a large number of materials other than aerosol formers that become smoke components, tobacco plants and non-tobacco plants that become fragrance components, and binders, molding agents and adsorbents that inhibit the generation and volatilization of smoke and fragrance components by heating. Therefore, it is not easy to generate smoke and fragrance that smokers can fully enjoy.

[0014] As a way to solve this problem, Patent Document 6 proposes a homogenized tobacco material, i.e., a homogeneous heated aroma-generating substrate, formed by a casting method from a slurry which is a tobacco powder dispersion solution obtained by dissolving natural wax derived from plants with a melting point of 50 to 150°C in an aerosol former. However, this method is considered insufficient, and Patent Document 7 proposes a solution involving the introduction of plant-derived oil with a melting point of 20 to 50°C. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0015] [Patent Document 1] Special Publication No. 2008-518614 [Patent Document 2] Special Publication No. 2010-520764 [Patent Document 3] Special Publication No. 2013-519384 [Patent Document 4] Special Publication No. 2016-538848 [Patent Document 5] Patent No. 6280287 [Patent Document 6] Patent No. 6433626 [Patent Document 7] Patent No. 6442110 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0016] As described in the background technology section, smoking using a heated aroma cartridge equivalent to a cigarette, in which at least a heated aroma source and a mouthpiece are connected, and a heated smoking device, with the heated aroma source attached to the heat source of the heated smoking device, is healthy because it involves less inhalation of harmful substances such as nicotine. However, the heated aroma generating base material that forms the heated aroma source contains an aerosol former that becomes a smoke component, as well as tobacco plants, non-tobacco plants, and fragrances that become aroma components. However, it is necessary to use many materials such as binders, molding agents, and adsorbents that inhibit the generation and volatilization of smoke and aroma components by heating, which makes it difficult to generate smoke and aroma that smokers can fully enjoy.

[0017] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a heated aroma generating substrate, a heated aroma generating source using the substrate, a heated aroma cartridge equipped with the source, and a method for manufacturing the substrate. [Means for solving the problem]

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

[0019] Firstly, phase separation between the fragrance source material and / or fragrance agent and the aerosol former makes each more readily volatile upon contact with a heat source. In particular, by concentrating the fragrance source material and / or fragrance agent, which volatilize upon contact with a heat source, in the thermally molten material, the concentration of the fragrance source material and / or fragrance agent can be locally increased compared to when they are present throughout the heated fragrance-generating substrate, allowing for efficient volatilization of the fragrance components upon contact with the heat source. Secondly, due to the high thermal fluidity of the thermally molten material, the volatile components of the fragrance source material and / or fragrance agent generated within it move to the surface of the heated fragrance-generating substrate along with the aerosol former, promoting volatilization. Thirdly, thermally molten materials such as waxes and waxes have weaker interactions with fragrance components than aerosol formers such as glycerin and propylene glycol, making it easier for fragrance components to be released from the thermally molten material.

[0020] On the one hand, it was considered that the heat-melting substance can surely fix the fragrance source material and / or the fragrance agent at room temperature and also plays an important function of maintaining the heterogeneous structure of the heated fragrance-generating base material formed by phase separation from the aerosol former. In particular, in order to maintain this heterogeneous structure, it was presumed that a heat-melting substance with poor affinity for the aerosol former might be more preferable.

[0021] Based on such a hypothesis, as a result of various considerations such as the materials and manufacturing methods constituting the heated fragrance-generating base material, it was found that the heated fragrance-generating source includes at least a fragrance source material, an aerosol former, and a heat-melting substance, and the heated fragrance-generating cartridge equipped with a heated fragrance-generating source in which a heated fragrance-generating base material having a heterogeneous structure in which an aromatic heat-melting powder in which the fragrance source material and / or the fragrance agent is mixed into the heat-melting substance is dispersed in the heated fragrance-generating base material is wound, it is demonstrated that in smoking using a general heat-type smoking device, even if the composition excluding the heat-melting substance is the same as that of the conventional product, the fragrance and smoke can be fully enjoyed, and it was confirmed that the heterogeneous structure of the heated fragrance-generating base material is stably maintained, leading to the completion of the present invention.

[0022] That is, the present invention is a heated fragrance-generating base material that forms a heated fragrance-generating source of a heated fragrance cartridge that is mounted on a heat-type smoking device, heated and sucked to generate an aerosol and a fragrance, and includes at least a fragrance source material, an aerosol former, and a heat-melting substance, and an aromatic heat-melting powder in which the fragrance source material is mixed into the heat-melting substance is uniformly dispersed in the heated fragrance-generating base material.

[0023] The minimum outer diameter of this aromatic heat-melting powder is preferably 125 to 355 μm, more preferably 150 to 300 μm, and even more preferably 180 to 250 μm. If the outer diameter of the aromatic heat-melting powder is too large, its total surface area will be small, the contact opportunity with the heat source will decrease, the melting of the heat-melting substance will be insufficient, and the volatilization amount of the aromatic component will decrease. On the other hand, if the outer diameter of the aromatic heat-melting powder is too small, it will be difficult for the powder to form a uniform dispersed sea-island structure on the heated aromatic generating substrate, and since the powder exists as an agglomerated lump, a region where the melting rate due to contact with the heat source decreases will occur, and the volatilization amount of the aromatic component will decrease.

[0024] And the mixing ratios of the aromatic source material, aerosol former, and heat-melting substance are preferably 55 to 75% by mass, 20 to 40% by mass, and 2 to 15% by mass, respectively, in order to balance the volatilization amounts of the smoke component and the aromatic component, and more preferably 60 to 70% by mass, 25 to 35% by mass, and 3 to 10% by mass.

[0025] In such a heated aromatic generating substrate, the heat-melting substance that plays an important role is not particularly limited as long as it is "an organic compound that exhibits a melting point or softening point and becomes a non-Newtonian fluid when heated". Generally, organic compounds commonly referred to as waxes and waxes are preferred, and petroleum-based natural waxes, synthetic waxes, plant-based natural waxes, and animal-based natural waxes, which are representative of waxes and waxes, can be used. Also, various tackifiers (adhesion promoters) to which rosin, which is also used as a wax and wax, belongs can be used. These can be used alone or as a mixture containing at least one or more selected from these.

[0026] Petroleum-based natural waxes are hydrocarbon compounds, and therefore have little interaction with aromatic components and aerosols. For this reason, they are not particularly limited, and petrolatum, paraffin wax, and microcrystalline wax can be preferably used. However, these have differences in properties based on their molecular structure. Petrolatum is a mixture of branched and alicyclic hydrocarbons, with a broad melting point range of 36-60°C. Paraffin wax is mainly composed of linear hydrocarbons, has high crystallinity, and most exhibit a melting point of 40-70°C, resulting in a narrow melting point range. Microcrystalline wax is a mixture of branched and saturated cyclic hydrocarbons; it has low crystallinity but a high molecular weight, exhibiting the highest melting point among these, 60-90°C, and its melting point range is the second widest after petrolatum. As described above, although all of these are hydrocarbon compounds extracted from crude oil, paraffin wax and microcrystalline wax are the most suitable as thermally melted substances for heated fragrance-generating substrates because they have low melt viscosity during thermal melting, low surface energy, and minimal interaction with fragrance components and aerosol formers.

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

[0028] The synthetic waxes that can be preferably used include Fischer-Tropsch wax, polyethylene (PE) wax and modified PE wax, polypropylene (PP) wax and modified PP wax, fatty acid amides, fatty acids, aliphatic alcohols, polyoxyalkylene glycols, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, and polyoxyethylene alkylamines.

[0029] In particular, Fischer-Tropsch wax is a linear hydrocarbon organic compound, and therefore has a low melt viscosity during thermal melting, low surface energy, and minimal interaction with aerosol formers and aromatic components, making it suitable as a thermally melted substance for heated aromatic generating substrates. Standard products from Sasol, such as H1 (melting point: approximately 112°C), medium-melting point products such as C80 (melting point: approximately 85-88°C), high-melting point products such as C105 / H105 (melting point: approximately 117°C), and BYK's CERAFAK® 117 (melting point: approximately 110°C), 127N (melting point: approximately 120°C), etc. can be used.

[0030] Furthermore, PE wax and modified PE wax, as well as PP wax and modified PP wax, are also hydrocarbon compounds and can be preferably used. Specifically, Hiwax (registered trademark) manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., Sanwax and Viscol manufactured by Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd., and CERAFAK (registered trademark) 929, 950, 913, 914, and 915 manufactured by BYK have a melting point of approximately 94 to 161°C and can be preferably used. In particular, metallocene-catalyzed polyolefin waxes are more preferable due to their narrow molecular weight distribution. For example, Excellex (registered trademark) manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., which is a metallocene-catalyzed PE wax, has a narrow molecular weight distribution and compositional distribution, and although it has a melting point of 89 to 128°C, it has a low melt viscosity when melted by heat, making it an excellent polyolefin-based wax.

[0031] Suitable fatty acid amides include monoamides and bisamides. Preferred monoamides include stearic acid monoamide, oleic acid monoamide, and erucic acid monoamide, which have a melting point of approximately 72 to 105°C. Preferred bisamides include ethylene bis-stearic acid amide and ethylene bis-oleic acid amide, which have a melting point of approximately 140 to 145°C. Although such amides have polar groups, they have small molecular weights and no molecular weight distribution, resulting in lower thermal melt viscosity than plant-derived waxes and oils, which further promotes the movement of aerosol formers. For example, NOF Corporation's AL-FLO® S-10, E-10, and P-10 can be used as monoamides, and NOF Corporation's AL-FLO® H series and AD series, or Kao Corporation's KAOWAX EB series can be used as bisamides.

[0032] Capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, pentadecyl acid, palmitic acid, margaric acid, stearic acid, arachidic acid, behenic acid, lignoceric acid, and melissic acid are preferred fatty acids, as they have a melting point of approximately 30 to 94°C. For example, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, and behenic acid are more preferred because they are industrially produced by companies such as NOF Corporation.

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

[0034] These higher fatty acids and higher aliphatic alcohols, respectively, have carboxyl groups and hydroxyl groups bonded to the ends of linear hydrocarbon chains. Because they have no molecular weight distribution or an extremely narrow molecular weight distribution, they have low melt viscosity and a narrow melting point range, similar to paraffin wax, and therefore have a significant effect in promoting deformation and flow of the heated aroma-generating substrate during heating.

[0035] As for polyoxyalkylene glycols, those with an average molecular weight of polyethylene glycol of 600 to 11,000 are preferred because they have a low melting point and low melt viscosity during thermal melting. Also preferred are polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol block polymers with a polyethylene glycol unit content of 40 to 80 wt% and an average molecular weight of 3,000 to 13,000, which have a melting point of approximately 20 to 60°C. These are also used as nonionic surfactants, and because they have a narrow molecular weight distribution and a narrow melting point range, they exhibit excellent fluidity during thermal melting.

[0036] As for polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, those with an average molecular weight of 1,000 to 4,000 polyoxyethylene monomethyl ethers are preferred as they have a melting point of approximately 40 to 55°C. Although these are also used as nonionic surfactants, they have a narrow molecular weight distribution and a narrow melting point range, resulting in excellent fluidity during thermal melting.

[0037] As polyoxyethylene alkylamines, for example, Nymeen® S204 manufactured by NOF Corporation, which has a melting point of approximately 25°C, and for example, Nymeen® S202 manufactured by NOF Corporation, which has a melting point of approximately 45°C, are preferably used. These are also used as nonionic surfactants, but they have a linear hydrocarbon unit with 18 carbon atoms, a narrow molecular weight distribution, and a narrow melting point range, so they have excellent fluidity when melted by heat.

[0038] While there are no particular limitations on the types of natural waxes used, preferred plant-based waxes include Japanese wax (Rhus sylvestris), lacquer wax, carnauba wax, sugarcane wax, palm wax, and candelilla wax, while preferred animal-based waxes include beeswax, whale wax, privet wax, wool wax, and shellac. These waxes have relatively high melting points, can stably fix fragrance sources and / or fragrances, and possess high thermal fluidity.

[0039] However, while plant-based and animal-based natural waxes are mainly composed of esters of fatty acids and aliphatic alcohols, they are mixtures of esters of fatty acids with various carbon numbers and aliphatic alcohols, and also contain free fatty acids, free aliphatic alcohols, and hydrocarbons. Because they have a broad molecular weight distribution, they have a wide melting temperature range and high viscosity when melted. Furthermore, because they contain organic compounds with ester bonds, free fatty acids, and free aliphatic alcohols, they have a large interaction with aerosol forms and aromatic components. Therefore, petroleum-based natural waxes, synthetic waxes, and rosin and rosin derivatives, which are tackifiers described later, are preferred as thermally molten substances.

[0040] Tackifier includes rosin and rosin derivatives, as well as terpene resins and modified terpenes. Resins can preferably be used. Specifically, rosin and rosin derivatives are used by Arakawa Chemical. Gum rosin, rosin ester (Pencel), and maleic acid-modified rosin, all manufactured by Gaku Kogyo Co., Ltd. Resins, rosin-modified phenolic resins (tamanol) are preferred. Also, terpene resins and modified resins are preferred. The terpene resin is a terpene monomer homopolymer resin (YS resin) manufactured by Yasuhara Chemical Co., Ltd. PX and YS resins (PXN), aromatic modified terpene resins (YS resin TO), and ter Penphenol resin (YS Polystar series) is preferably used. In particular, aromatic components Rosins and rosin inducers that have low interaction with aerosol formers and high thermal fluidity. A conductor is more preferred, and rosin is even more preferred.

[0041] As described above, there are many different types of heat-melting substances, but the heated aroma-generating substrate of the present invention contains aroma In order to uniformly disperse aromatic heat-melt powders, it is particularly important to use hydrocarbon-based organic compounds, such as petroleum. Natural waxes, Fischer-Tropsch wax, PE wax and modified PE wax Preference is given to PP wax and modified PP wax, as well as rosin and rosin derivatives. In particular, from the perspective of melting point and thermal fluidity, paraffin wax and microcrystalline wax are suitable. Starling wax, Fischer-Tropsch wax, PE wax, PP wax, Metallocene catalyst polyolefin waxes are particularly preferred.

[0042] These thermally molten materials have melting points and softening points, but are used as fragrance sources and / or fragrances. To ensure that it is securely fixed at room temperature and to consider its thermal fluidity when in contact with a heat source, the melting point is 20-20 Temperatures within the 0°C range are preferred, and those within the 50-200°C range are more preferred. It's nice.

[0043] Furthermore, it is even more preferable that the melting point of the thermally molten material is in the temperature range of 150 to 200°C. This is thought to be due to the following reason: The aromatic thermal melt powder of the present invention is uniform The heating-to-generate aroma-generating substrate, which is dispersed throughout the structure, is also molded into a columnar shape as in the conventional method, and its sides The packaging material is filled and wound so that it comes into contact with the heated aroma source, and the heated aroma It is provided in the cartridge. When a heated aroma cartridge is attached to a heated smoking device and smoked, In addition, a heat source is inserted into such a heated aroma source and it is heated, so the heated aroma source If the melting point of the heat-melting substance in the aromatic heat-melting powder uniformly dispersed within the material is low, the heated aromatic The generated substrates fuse together, and the gas flow path becomes blocked. Therefore, up to near the maximum temperature reached by the heat source, In order to ensure sufficient inhalation of volatile smoke and fragrance components, the melting point of the thermally molten material must be 150°C. It is preferable that the temperature be around 200°C.

[0044] Thus, there are few waxes and waxes with a melting point of 150-200°C, and PP wax and This is limited to modified PP wax, as well as rosin derivatives and modified terpene resins. Because PP wax and modified PP wax have excellent thermal fluidity, they are particularly preferred for use. Specifically, as PP wax and modified PP wax, Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.'s High Wax NP500 (registered trademark), and BYK CERAFAK (registered trademark) 913, 91 Examples include 4 and 915. These have a melting point of approximately 160°C and are preferred. It can be used in various ways. As a rosin derivative, Rosin Esthe manufactured by Arakawa Chemical Industries, Ltd. is an example. Lu (Pensel) D-160 and KK, and rosin-modified phenol manufactured by Arakawa Chemical Industries, Ltd. One example is terpene resin (tamanol). And as a modified terpene resin, there is yasuha Examples include YS Polystar T160 and YS Polystar G150 manufactured by La Chemical Co., Ltd. can.

[0045] On the other hand, aromatic materials include, in particular, Chinese tea, black tea, and roses, as well as Osmanthus fragrans (Osmanthus fragrans, Oleaceae family). Seed plants, lavender and saffron flowers, as well as shallots, garlic The rhizomes of meat, onions, and konjac, as well as quince and plants of the genus Citrus in the Rutaceae family.

It must contain at least one selected from the above-ground stems and leaves, which provides a pleasant aroma to smokers. Suitable for providing, but not limited to, these.

[0046] However, when the heated fragrance cartridge is attached to the heated smoking device, the heated fragrance cartridge Fragrance is defined as the scent emanating from the product itself, and the heated fragrance cartridge is heated. Sometimes, aroma is defined as a scent that floats in the air, and sometimes, heating the fragrance cartridge to create an aerosol. It is preferable that it possesses the three elements of flavor, which is defined as the aroma that lingers in the mouth when inhaled. It's nice.

[0047] The fragrance includes Chinese tea, black tea, rose, and Osmanthus fragrans (Osmanthus species). The plants, lavender, saffron flowers, and the above-ground stems and leaves of the tobacco species of the Solanaceae family. Preferably, it includes at least one selected from among them.

[0048] The aromas include those of shallots, garlic, onions, and konjac rhizomes. and at least one selected from the above-ground stems and leaves of the tobacco species of the Solanaceae family. It is preferable to include the above.

[0049] The flavor comes from quince, and plants of the citrus genus (such as bitter orange and Satsuma mandarin).

Preferably, it contains at least one of the following:

[0050] Aerosol Former is made from propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, and diethylene glycol. Glycerin, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, glycerin, monoacetin (Glycerin monoacetate) and diacetin (glycerin diacetate), etc. are used. It is possible to do this. Among them, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, and diethylene glycol Recall, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, and glycerin It includes at least one selected from the following: volatility due to contact with a heat source and cooling It exhibits excellent aerosol formation properties that resemble smoke, which is particularly desirable.

[0051] Furthermore, it is preferable to further include a fragrance agent for the purpose of supplementing the fragrance source material. It is more preferable that it be mixed with the heat-melting substance along with the material. The fragrance agent is a cooling agent and At least one of the following can be used: nicotine, in particular, cooling Flavoring agents are important, including menthol and menthol derivatives, menthone and menthol. Ton derivatives, menthane carboxylic acid amides, 2,3-dimethyl-2-(2-propyl)-carbohydrate Acid derivatives, menthane and menthane derivatives, L-carbone, xylitol, eucalyptus essential oil, Peppermint oil, spearmint essential oil, and spiranthol are preferred. The agent is prepared by adding 3 parts by mass to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the fragrance source material, aerosol former, and thermally fused substance. While approximately 25 parts by mass is sufficient, including 5 to 20 parts by mass will replenish the aromatic components of the fragrance source material. This is preferable because it avoids adverse effects such as a decrease in the strength of the heated fragrance generating agent.

[0052] Thus, the materials constituting the heated aroma-generating substrate cause smoke to be generated upon contact with the heat source. It can improve sensory functions such as fragrance, but the heating process is applied to the fragrance-generating substrate. For this to be possible, the heated fragrance generating substrate must have good release properties from the molding machine that comes into contact with it. It is necessary to have the necessary features, as well as to prevent damage such as breakage of the heated aroma-generating substrate during the molding process. Furthermore, it reduces volume shrinkage after molding and prevents the heated fragrance-generating substrate from falling off, and improves gas flow. Maintaining optimal road surface conditions and other aspects of long-term stability are also required. Therefore, the molding agent is further included. It is preferable.

[0053] The molding agent is preferably microcrystalline cellulose, and in particular, its average particle size is 7 Preferably, the particle size is 0 to 120 μm. The average particle size of the microcrystalline cellulose is 70 μm or less. If present, it has the effect of suppressing the shrinkage of the heated fragrance-generating substrate, as well as the relationship between the heated fragrance-generating substrate and the molding process. Adhesion with the machine tool cannot be prevented, and if the thickness is 120 μm or more, the heated fragrance generating substrate and While there are no issues with the release properties of the molding machine, the heated aroma-generating substrate becomes prone to breakage. The mass-average molecular weight (Mw) of microcrystalline cellulose is 20,000 to 60,000. This is preferable. If it is 20,000 or less, it has the effect of suppressing the shrinkage of the heated aroma-generating substrate. If the value is not 60,000 or higher, the heated aroma-generating substrate is prone to breakage, causing problems in the molding process. In the case of this molding agent, the total amount of the fragrance source material, aerosol former, and thermally fused substance is 10. While 2 to 25 parts by mass is acceptable for 0 parts by mass, if 3 to 20 parts by mass are included... In addition to fulfilling the above functions, it also prevents the generation of volatile substances from the fragrance source and aerosol former. It is preferable because it does not involve that.

[0054] The heated fragrance-generating substrate contains at least a fragrance source, an aerosol former, and a heat-melting substance. Therefore, because the aerosol former is liquid, these are bound together and maintain a clumped state. To solve the above-mentioned problems in the molding process, a more safe binder may be used. Preferred. Typical examples include polysaccharide-based natural polymers and cellulose-based natural polymers. This can be done, but to further increase these bonding strengths, the columnar heated aroma-generating substrate can be molded. To achieve this, it is preferable to add cellulose fibers.

[0055] Polysaccharide polymers include konjac mannan (glucomannan), guar gum, pectin, and ka. Rageenan, tamarind seed gum, acacia gum, soybean polysaccharides, locust bean gum, Karaya gum, xanthan gum, and agar can be used, but strength and the above molding From the perspective of processability, glucomannan, guar gum, pectin, carrageenan, tamari Seed gum, locust bean gum, karaya gum, and xanthan gum are preferred. Neutral polysaccharides glucomannan, guar gum, tamarind seed gum, and locust bean Gum is preferable.

[0056] Examples of cellulose-based polymers include carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and carboxyethylcellulose. Hydroxymethylcellulose, hydroxymethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, and hydroxycellulose Roxypropylcellulose, as well as sodium salts, potassium salts, and calcium Sodium salts, as well as sodium salts, potassium salts, and calcium salts of carboxyethylcellulose. Cium salts can be used, but in particular, from the viewpoint of strength and moldability, CMC Sodium salts and potassium salts, as well as sodium salts of carboxyethylcellulose and Potassium salts are preferred.

[0057] Polysaccharide polymers and cellulose polymers may be used in combination, in which case the former is G Lucomannan, guar gum, tamarind seed gum, and locust bean gum are the latter. As such, sodium and potassium salts of CMC, and carboxyethylcellulose Using sodium and potassium salts is preferable from the viewpoint of strength and moldability. stomach.

[0058] Cellulose fibers are particularly derived from sugarcane, bamboo, wheat, rice, esparto, and jute. It is preferable that these are cellulose fibers. This is because the diameter and length of these fibers are, These are located within the range of 5-25 μm and 0.25-6 mm, and are also found in other plant cellulose fibers. Although thinner and shorter, it is found to have a higher effect in binding the constituent components of the heated fragrance-generating substrate. I took it out.

[0059] This binding agent contains 100 parts by mass of the total amount of fragrance source material, aerosol former, and heat-melting substance. In contrast, 5 to 30 parts by mass is preferable, solving the problems of strength and moldability, and the fragrance source material and aerozo To avoid adverse effects such as the generation of volatile substances in Le Forma, the amount should be between 8 and 28 parts by mass. This is more preferable. The amount of cellulose fiber added is the amount of polysaccharide polymer and cellulose The ratio of polymer to cellulose fiber, by mass, being 1:1 to 1:25 is the key to the binding effect. The above is preferable.

[0060] On the other hand, in order to supplement the fragrance of the fragrance source material, if the fragrance agent is introduced without being included in the heat-melting substance... In addition, the heat source of a heated smoking device is the aerosol former that becomes the smoke component and the fragrance source that becomes the aromatic component. The fragrance may evaporate and be released before the wood reaches the optimal temperature for evaporation. The heated fragrance generating material needs to retain the fragrance until it reaches a predetermined temperature. Therefore, it is preferable that the material further contains an adsorbent.

[0061] As mentioned above, if we consider sorbents to be cooling agents and nicotine, then for cooling agents... Hydrophilic crosslinked polymers and cyclodextrins are preferred, and as hydrophilic crosslinked polymers, Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) adsorbs chemical substances that have phenolic hydroxyl groups, particularly It is preferable. Furthermore, the cross-linked PVP is composed of a 5-membered heterocyclic compound containing nitrogen similar to nicotine. Since it is present within the structure and it is thought that an interaction between the two is formed, nicotine sorbent Cross-linked PVP is also suitable. On the other hand, α, β, and γ-cyclodextrins are suitable for various purposes. It is known to form inclusion compounds with chemical substances having hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups of various sizes. In particular, β-cyclodextrin forms an inclusion compound with menthol, and menthol It is ideal as an sorbent for rubbings.

[0062] Such sorbents contain a total of 100 units of aromatic material, aerosol former, and thermally fused substance. For cross-linked PVP, 4 to 25 parts by mass is sufficient, but 5 to 20 parts by mass are included. It is more preferable to do so, and in the case of cyclodextrin, 0.1 to 1.2 parts by mass is sufficient. However, it is more preferable that it contains 0.2 to 1.0 parts by mass. And it contains both. That is even more preferable.

[0063] Finally, dried and insect-killed fragrance source material is used, but the heated fragrance generating cartridge is used over the long term. In order to preserve the aroma, it is necessary to include a preservative in the heated aroma-generating substrate. In particular, this invention Potassium sorbate and / or sodium benzoate are suitable as the heating-to-aroma-generating substrate. In this case, the total amount of the fragrance source, aerosol former, and thermally fused substance is 100 parts by mass. It is preferable that it contains 0.005 to 0.04 parts by mass.

[0064] The heated fragrance generating substrate described above is used in heated fragrance cartridges that are attached to heated smoking devices. The heated fragrance source is located on the insertion side, and this heated fragrance source is connected to the heated fragrance cartridge. The present invention provides a heated aroma source formed using this heated aroma generating substrate, and Furthermore, we also provide a heated fragrance cartridge that utilizes this heated fragrance source.

[0065] First, we will describe a heated aroma source formed using a heated aroma-generating substrate. The aroma source can be at least an aggregate of these heated aroma-generating substrates, but the heated aroma The design ensures that a needle-shaped heat source can easily penetrate the source, and that a flow path for the drawn-in gas is secured. Therefore, the heated aroma source of the present invention is formed by molding the heated aroma generating substrate. It is characterized by the fact that the columnar object is filled and wrapped in packaging material so that its sides are in contact with the packaging material. Its shape is not particularly limited, but can be cylindrical, prismatic, granular, scaly, etc. It is preferable that the above-mentioned heated aroma source has a prismatic shape in order to satisfy the required functions, and is prismatic in shape. It is more preferable that there be an aggregate that is in contact with the sides of a cylindrical or prismatic body. This is even more preferable. This allows the heated fragrance to be attached and detached. The fragrance generating substrate does not fall off, and the heat source easily penetrates the heated fragrance generating source, releasing smoke components and fragrance. A gas flow path is ensured in the direction of the fragrance components, allowing for a pleasant smoking experience.

[0066] Considering the construction of a heated fragrance cartridge, the assembly of the heated fragrance generating substrates The heated aroma is wrapped around a cylindrical roll of heated aroma-generating substrate wrapping material. The fragrance source is preferable because it is easy to handle. Furthermore, this heated fragrance source is a heated fragrance source The heated fragrance-generating substrate, the collapsed material of the heated fragrance-generating substrate, and the dust generated by the collapsed material. This is also preferable in preventing detachment and scattering. In particular, cylindrical or prismatic heated fragrance generating substrates. The aggregate that comes into contact on the side is wrapped with a heating aroma-generating substrate wrapping member. If it is an aroma source, it is more preferable because a heat source can be easily inserted and a gas flow path can be secured.

[0067] Next, the heated fragrance cartridge equipped with the above-mentioned heated fragrance source of the present invention will be described. One of the simple heating-type fragrance cartridges of the present invention has a heating-type fragrance source that is cylindrical The heated fragrance cartridge outer casing is housed within the heated fragrance source, excluding the heated fragrance generation source. A key feature is that the cylindrical space in the outer casing of the incense cartridge is formed as a mouthpiece. Furthermore, one of the heated fragrance cartridges of the present invention, which has a simple configuration, generates a heated fragrance. Along with the source of the aroma, the cylindrical mouthpiece attached to the heated aroma source is the cylindrical body that is being heated. A key feature is that the fragrance cartridge is housed within its outer casing.

[0068] This is a form specific to heated aroma cartridges used with heated smoking devices. In the case of hand-rolled cigarettes, the part that is placed in the mouth is almost always equipped with a filter. It is equipped and functions as a mouthpiece, and this filter component filters out the smoke from combustion. It filters out solid components and adsorbs nicotine and tar, resulting in a milder taste. However, heated fragrance cartridges using heated smoking devices have a heated fragrance source. Without combustion, the aroma from the heated aroma source and the volatile substances of the aerosol former are cooled. You can enjoy the aerosol smoke, and the smoke does not contain any solid components, and the fragrance source material Because it contains little or no tobacco plant material, it has low levels of nicotine and tar, and is suitable for mice. The piece does not require a filter function. The heated aroma cartridge mouthpiece The smoker can hold the cigarette in their mouth and smoke without feeling the heat from the heat source, and the lips and tongue... Any cylindrical or columnar body equipped with a gas channel that has a good feel, is easy to hold, and has a moderate hardness, is suitable. It is not particularly limited. Therefore, with the heated fragrance cartridge of the present invention described above, You can enjoy a pleasant smoking experience.

[0069] However, when inhaled during smoking, the heated aroma-generating substrate and the heated aroma-generating source It is necessary to prevent the smoke from moving towards the mouthpiece, and to enhance the enjoyment of smoking by controlling the fluctuations of the smoke. It is desirable to allow it to diffuse for minutes. Therefore, the cylindrical shape of the heating element outer casing of the above heated fragrance cartridge The mouthpiece, which is a space, and the cylindrical mouthpiece attached to the heated aroma source, A support member or Cooling of the volatile components of the aerosol former promotes the generation of aerosols, i.e., smoke. It is preferable to have a refrigeration member. Furthermore, taking into consideration the habits of cigarette smokers, It is preferable that a filter member be provided.

[0070] The structure of such a support member has a surface that is in contact with the heated aroma source and through which the gas passes, and that surface It is limited to those that support and have at least a gas flow path such as a through hole. No. Furthermore, the structure of such a cooling component has a large gas flow path with a large contact area with volatile substances. Examples of such structures include open-cell porous bodies and honeycomb structures. It is not limited to these.

[0071] Furthermore, there are no particular limitations on the materials used, but in the case of support members, paper and plastic are used. Rubber, wood, metal, and ceramics can be used, but they can be molded into various shapes. It is more preferable that the material be made of a processable plastic. Examples of plastics include thermoplastic plastics. It may be either a resin or a thermosetting resin, such as a polyolefin resin or a polyester resin. Resins, polystyrene resins, nylon resins, acrylic resins, silicone resins, fluorine Polyurethane resins, ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) resins, phenolic resins Fat, amino acid-based resins, ABS-based resins, and biodegradable plastics can be used, but the final Since it will become waste in the long run, from the perspective of protecting the natural environment, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate )(PHB), poly(ε-caprolactone)(PCL), poly(butylene succinate) It is preferable that the material be a biodegradable plastic such as (PBS) and polylactic acid (PLA). .

[0072] In the case of cooling components, metal compounds with excellent thermal conductivity are preferred, but they have poor formability and high Because it is inexpensive, it has poor thermal conductivity, but it is excellent in productivity and cost, polyolefin-based Resins, polyester resins, polystyrene resins, nylon resins, acrylic resins, Licon resins, fluororesins, polyurethane resins, EVA resins, phenolic resins, Amino resins, ABS resins, and biodegradable plastics can be used, but the natural environment From a protective standpoint, biodegradable plastics such as PHB, PCL, PBS, and PLA It is desirable that this be the case.

[0073] As is clear from this structure and materials, the support member and the cooling member are, respectively, cooling Although it also functions as a component and a support component, the mouthpiece has fewer support and cooling components. The support member and filter member are arranged in this order in the longitudinal direction from the side of the heated aroma source. Having both types of equipment deployed is preferable because it allows them to combine the functions of both.

[0074] However, as mentioned above, almost all cigarettes have a filter component, The habits of cigarette smokers are extremely important, and at the very least, the mouthpiece has a filter component. It is preferable to attach the spiece to the heated aroma source. This filter member also supports Similar to materials and cooling members, it can perform the functions of a support member and a cooling member, and can be used independently. It is possible. In this case, fill the entire mouthpiece that is in contact with the heated aroma source. The form in which the filter member is filled is simple, and the filter member, support member, and cooling member are functional. It is preferable because it allows for the effective expression of abilities.

[0075] Such filter materials are made from cellulose acetate, which has been used in conventional cigarettes. Plain filter using fiber, dual carbon filter containing activated carbon in the plain filter AFT (Advanced Filter) filter, which has an uneven surface. Typical cigarette filters such as those from r Technology can be used. However, if the filter has the necessary breathability for smoking, the type and structure of the fibers are limited. It is not. From the perspective of protecting the natural environment, plant fibers such as hemp and wood, and PHB, Filter components using biodegradable plastic fibers such as PCL, PBS, and PLA. It is preferable that it contains fragrances and microcellularized fragrances, etc. .

[0076] In this way, the filter component, which is independently provided in the mouthpiece, is attached to the heated aroma source. When in contact, it exhibits the function of a support member, but the heated fragrance generating substrate and the heated fragrance generating The source clogs the filter element, causing a blockage between the heated aroma source and the filter element. It is preferable to interpose at least one of either a support member or a cooling member in this support part. The material or cooling member also includes the heated aroma generating substrate and the heated aroma generating material from the heated aroma generating source to the mouthpiece side. To maximize the function of preventing the movement of the heated aroma source, It is preferable to attach them.

[0077] Furthermore, it possesses all the functions required of a mouthpiece, and these functions are effectively realized. The above mouthpiece comprises at least a support member, a cooling member, and a filter member. The support member, cooling member, and filter member are positioned longitudinally from the side of the heated aroma source. It is even more preferable that they be arranged in the following order.

[0078] On the other hand, a mouthpiece is attached to the longitudinal direction of such a heated aroma source, and is cylindrical in shape. A heated fragrance cartridge is characterized by being housed in the outer casing of the heated fragrance cartridge. In the cartridge, the heated aroma source, and the support member that constitutes the mouthpiece, are cold The filtration member and the filter member are wrapped in a mouthpiece wrapping member, which is a cylindrical roll. It is preferable that this is done. This applies to the heated aroma source and the mouthpiece. If the support member, cooling member, and filter member have the same shape, then they will be used to heat the aroma. This is because it is easier to house in the cartridge casing, improving productivity. In particular, when heating, the aroma is released. Regarding the raw material, the workability is greatly improved by wrapping it with a mouthpiece wrapping material. This is improved, and as mentioned above, the heated fragrance generating substrate and the collapse of the heated fragrance generating substrate The shedding and scattering of dust generated by objects and collapsing materials is reduced.

[0079] Here, the support member, cooling member, and filter member that make up the mouthpiece are cylindrical There are three ways in which the mouthpiece is wrapped using a rolled-up mouthpiece wrapping material. There are different configurations. Firstly, the support member, cooling member, and filter member are each individually In a form in which it is wrapped with a mouthpiece wrapping member, secondly, a support member and a filter member, Furthermore, the support member and cooling member, and the cooling member and filter member are connected to the mouthpiece. A form in which the components are wrapped and integrated with a wrapping member; thirdly, a support member, a cooling member, and a filter. - This form involves wrapping the component with a mouthpiece wrapping component to integrate it.

[0080] Such mouthpiece ramping components are typically used in conventional cigarettes. Examples of wrapping paper used include paper made from plant fibers such as hemp and wood, but paper wrapping Unlike cigarettes, they do not burn, so they are made of plastic that can be rolled up. Films and other materials can also be applied, and there are no particular limitations on the material. Polyolefin-based General-purpose resins such as resins, polyester resins, nylon resins, EVA resins, and acrylic resins. While lipid films are preferably used, from the perspective of protecting the natural environment, rolls made from plant fibers are preferred. Paper, as well as biodegradable plastics such as PHB, PCL, PBS, and PLA. It is more preferable to be mu.

[0081] Then, at the interface between the heated aroma source and the mouthpiece, the heated aroma enters the mouthpiece. The detachment and scattering of the generating substrate, the collapsed material of the heated fragrance generating substrate, and the dust generated by the collapsed material. The presence of a mesh to prevent these foreign objects from entering the oral cavity by suction and This is even more preferable in preventing clogging of the filter components.

[0082] This mesh consists of a heated fragrance generating substrate, collapsed material from the heated fragrance generating substrate, and collapsed A structure having openings large enough to block dust generated by the material, and having a function that does not obstruct the passage of gas. It is not limited to just the construction and materials. However, for example, plant fibers such as hemp and wood. , as well as polyolefin resins, polyester resins, nylon resins, and acrylic resins. It is preferable to use woven and nonwoven fabrics with excellent breathability made from synthetic fibers such as oils, From the perspective of protecting the natural environment, plant fibers, as well as PHB, PCL, PBS, and PLA It is preferable that the material used is a biodegradable plastic fiber such as the above.

[0083] Furthermore, on the opposite end surface of the mesh of the heated fragrance source, the heated fragrance source substrate and heated fragrance Fragrance-generating substrate material and the dust generated by the fragments fall into the heated smoking device chamber. Furthermore, the presence of a cover to prevent scattering of particles is important for the contamination and accidental transmission of heated tobacco products. This is preferable in preventing damage. In particular, the opposite end of the mesh of the heated aroma source is heated. Since the heat source of the smoking device must be inserted through it, it is preferable that a heat source insertion hole is provided. preferable.

[0084] If this cover is provided with a heat source insertion hole, for example, plant fibers such as hemp and wood may be used. Fibers, as well as polyolefin resins, polyester resins, nylon resins, and acrylic resins. Woven and nonwoven fabrics made from synthetic fibers such as resins can be used, and the heated aroma generating base Openings of a size sufficient to block material, falling debris from the heated fragrance-generating substrate, and dust generated by the falling debris. It is not limited to structures and materials that have the function of not obstructing the passage of gas. From the perspective of protecting the natural environment, plant fibers or PHB, PCL, PBS, PLA, etc. It is desirable that the material be made of biodegradable plastic fibers. However, if there is no heat source insertion hole... In addition, because the heat source and the cover are in slight contact, it is important to use breathable materials such as hemp and wood, which are plant fibers. It is preferable to use excellent woven and nonwoven fabrics.

[0085] Thus, the heated fragrance cartridge outer member of the cylindrical body of the present invention is wrapped around the heated fragrance cartridge The cartridge is inserted into the heated fragrance cartridge housing component and is a heated fragrance source. Even when using the outside space as the mouthpiece, the heated aroma source and the mouthpiece are connected in this way. Even when installed in a heated fragrance cartridge housing component, the heated fragrance source and the mount The spiece, and the support members, cooling members, and filter members that constitute the mouthpiece. It has the feature that it can be replaced. Therefore, the heated fragrance cartridge housing A heated fragrance cartridge equipped with components allows for the exchange of various types of heated fragrance sources. In addition to allowing you to enjoy various smokes and aromas, the support members, cooling members, and filters - It does not need to be replaced until the components deteriorate, making it highly economical.

[0086] The heated fragrance cartridge outer member of the tubular body of the present invention is then wrapped around the heated fragrance cartridge. The cartridge, as the outer casing component of the heated aromatic cartridge, is finished in a cylindrical roll. It is preferable to apply a heating-to-heat fragrance cartridge wrapping member that can do this. The reason is that the heated aroma source, and the heated aroma source and mouthpiece are mechanically wound. Therefore, since a heated fragrance cartridge is installed, the productivity of the heated fragrance cartridge is greatly increased. Because it can be dramatically improved.

[0087] A typical example of such a heated fragrance cartridge wrapping member is a conventional paper wrapper. Examples of rolling papers used in tobacco include those made from plant fibers such as hemp and wood. However, unlike cigarettes, it does not burn, so it can be rolled up using plastic. Polio film can also be used, and there are no particular limitations on the material. Refin resins, polyester resins, nylon resins, EVA resins, acrylic resins While general-purpose resin films such as the above are preferably used, from the viewpoint of protecting the natural environment, plant fibers are used The materials used are wrapping paper, as well as biodegradable plastics such as PHB, PCL, PBS, and PLA. It is more preferable that the film is of the same type. However, the heated fragrance cartridge wrapping part If paper is used as the material and it is used alone to make a mouthpiece, the paper should be made thicker or the paper should be thicker. You need to increase the number of times you wrap it.

[0088] Furthermore, the outer casing member of the heated fragrance cartridge of the present invention is a cylindrical body. By using a heated fragrance cartridge housing component with a shaped casing, new advantages are gained. It can also be added. In this case, it is inserted into the heated fragrance cartridge housing member. Even if the heated fragrance cartridge uses the space other than the heated fragrance source as the mouthpiece, The heated fragrance source and the mouthpiece are mounted in this heated fragrance cartridge housing component. Even the heated fragrance cartridge that is installed inside, and the heated fragrance cartridge wrapping member Since it does not get rolled up like this, the heated aroma source and mouthpiece, and the mouth The support members, cooling members, and filter members that make up the spiece can be replaced. It becomes easy.

[0089] In order to fully realize these advantages, the heated aroma source and mouthpiece, and The insertion and removal of the support member, cooling member, and filter member that constitute the mouthpiece. A structure and material having mechanical strength and a low coefficient of friction that can be repeated. A housing component for the incense cartridge is required. Paper is to be used as the material for this housing component. In that case, a desired thickness corresponding to the mechanical strength is required, but plastics, wood, metals Furthermore, applying ceramics or the like allows for a thinner material, which is preferable. Also, it can be molded into a cylindrical housing. If processing is also considered, materials such as plastic, wood, metal, and ceramics are preferable to paper. This is preferable, and in particular, it is more preferable that the material is made of plastic with excellent moldability. The plastic may be either a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin, and polio Refin resins, polyester resins, polystyrene resins, nylon resins, acrylics Resins, silicone resins, fluororesins, polyurethane resins, ethylene-vinyl acetate ( EVA resins, phenolic resins, amino resins, ABS resins, and biodegradable plastics While sticks and similar materials can be used, from the perspective of protecting the natural environment, PHB, PCL, PBS, and P It is preferable that the material be a biodegradable plastic such as LA.

[0090] Furthermore, the outer casing member of the heated fragrance cartridge of the present invention, The heating element of the fragrance cartridge is detachably connected at least in one place. By using this material, it is possible to provide a heated fragrance cartridge with various advantages. It becomes Noh.

[0091] Firstly, the heating fragrance cartridge connecting member is used to insert the heating fragrance source. A connecting part that can form a heated aroma source and a mouthpiece. The Uspiece connecting section is divided into two parts, and the heated aroma source is inserted into the heated aroma source. The connecting part and the mouthpiece connecting part are detachably connected and constructed. This allows us to provide a heated fragrance cartridge with distinctive features.

[0092] In such heated fragrance cartridges, the outer casing of the heated fragrance cartridge is heated One The heating aroma source connecting part can be easily removed, and the heating aroma source can be freely controlled. Since it can be replaced, smokers can enjoy a variety of aromas and smokes to suit their preferences. It will become possible to clean the heated aroma source connecting part and use it repeatedly. This is possible. Furthermore, as already explained, this type of heated fragrance cartridge can be used. In the case of smoking a heated aroma cartridge using a heated smoking device, the mouthpiece is used by the smoker. There are no particular limitations as long as it is a cylindrical body that is easy to hold in the mouth and smoke, so mouthpieces This involves applying the connecting part to the mouthpiece, and the structure of the mouthpiece connecting part. Furthermore, depending on the material, it is possible to create a mouthpiece that has excellent tactile feel against the lips and tongue and is easy to hold in the mouth. This is possible. Furthermore, this mouthpiece connecting part allows the mouthpiece to be inserted. By designing the mouthpiece connecting part to accommodate various preferences of smokers, A mouthpiece can also be attached.

The deployed mouthpiece, as well as the support member, cooling member, and filter member, are reduced in number. Even if not present, a support member, a cooling member, and a F are provided from the side of the heating aroma source connecting part. This is a mouthpiece in which the filter members are arranged in this order along the longitudinal direction. In this case as well, The Uspiece connecting part can be removed, so the heated fragrance cartridge wrap It is even easier than in the case of a pinning member or a heated fragrance cartridge housing member. The piece is detachable.

[0094] Furthermore, regarding the mouthpieces that are inserted into such mouthpiece connecting parts... In order to facilitate insertion by the mouthpiece connecting part, a support member, a cooling member, and Furthermore, the filter component is wrapped in a mouthpiece wrapping component, which is a cylindrical roll. This is preferable. In this case as well, there are three forms of winding, the first being support The component, cooling component, and filter component are each individually connected to the mouthpiece wrapping component. The second is a form in which it is wound, a support member and a cooling member, a support member and a filter member, and The cooling component and filter component are integrated by wrapping them with a mouthpiece wrapping component. The third is a mouthpiece wrapping member comprising a support member, a cooling member, and a filter member. It is a form that is wrapped and integrated.

[0095] Thus, the mouthpiece inserted into the mouthpiece connecting section is also as already explained. Any preferred form and shape as described above for the mouthpiece is acceptable, and the same applies to the material. Therefore, I will omit the explanation of the materials.

[0096] Secondly, the mouthpiece connecting section is a support member connector into which a support member is inserted. The cooling member connecting section, in which the cooling member is installed, and the filter member At least two connectors selected from the filter member connecting section into which the filter member is installed.

In particular, this cover Preferably, a heat source insertion hole for a heated smoking device is provided.

[0101] Furthermore, the connecting section of the heated aroma source incorporates both the mesh and the cover. We can also provide heated fragrance cartridges that feature the following characteristics.

[0102] Thus, the heating aroma source connecting section is equipped with a mesh and / or cover. By doing so, it not only fulfills these original functions, but also the heated aroma source connector The heated fragrance source can be easily inserted without protruding into the piping section. In particular, The skewer and cover are detachable to allow for easy insertion and removal of the heated aroma source. It is preferable.

[0103] Since connecting components are repeatedly attached and detached, paper is not durable enough, so superior mechanical strength is required. It is preferable to apply materials such as plastic, wood, metal, and ceramic. If we also consider molding the cylindrical housing and fitting parts, then plastic, wood, metal, and Ceramics are preferred, and in particular, plastics with excellent moldability are preferable. Preferred. The plastic may be either a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin. Polyolefin resins, polyester resins, polystyrene resins, nylon resins Acrylic resins, silicone resins, fluororesins, polyurethane resins, ethylene-vinegar Vinyl acetate (EVA) resins, phenolic resins, amino acid resins, ABS resins, and raw materials Biodegradable plastics can be used, but from the perspective of protecting the natural environment, PHB, PCL, It is preferable that the material be a biodegradable plastic such as PBS or PLA.

[0104] The methods for attaching and detaching each connecting part, as well as the mesh and cover, as described above are not particularly limited. However, fitting, screwing, and meshing are not performed. g) and hooking are preferred. Also, the form of connection Regardless of the configuration, it is preferable that attachment and detachment are easy using magnetic force.

[0105] The above describes the heated aroma generating substrate of the present invention, the heated aroma generating source which is an aggregate thereof, and the aggregate thereof A heated fragrance generating source wrapped in a heating fragrance generating substrate wrapping member, and a heated fragrance We have described a heated fragrance cartridge equipped with a fragrance source. However, the core of the present invention The technology that makes this possible is the heating of the heated fragrance source that is provided in the heated fragrance cartridge. A thermally fused substance containing a fragrance source material and / or fragrance agent within a fragrance generating substrate, i.e., an aromatic thermal fused substance. The dissolved powder has a phase-separated structure in which it is uniformly dispersed, which is the heated aroma of the present invention. This invention is based on a method for manufacturing a fragrance generating substrate. In particular, the heated fragrance generating substrate of the present invention is fragrance A material containing at least a fragrance source, an aerosol former, and a heat-melting substance, in which the fragrance source does not dissolve. Therefore, aerosol formers and thermally fused materials have completely different chemical properties. We have found that the following manufacturing method is preferable to these material properties. The present invention is described below. This paper provides a detailed explanation of the method for manufacturing the heated aroma-generating substrate.

[0106] The basic manufacturing method for the heated aromatic substrate of the present invention involves heating and melting an aromatic source material and / or an aromatic agent. Mixing powder manufacturing process (AI) for mixing substances, manufacturing cellulose fibers from fiber plants. Cellulose fiber manufacturing process (B), aerosol former, fragrance, molding agent, binder, preservative , and a material preparation step (CI) for preparing a desired material selected from water, and mixing Powder manufacturing process (AI), cellulose fiber manufacturing process (B), and material preparation process (CI) A heating-to-generate-aroma-generating-substrate manufacturing process (D) for manufacturing a heating-to-generate-aroma-generating-substrate from materials manufactured in ). This is a method for producing a heated aroma-generating substrate, characterized by consisting of the following:

[0107] For more details, the mixed powder manufacturing process (AI) involves drying and insecticidal treatment of the aromatic material. Process (A-1), Crushing process to crush the aromatic material produced in drying and insecticidal process (A-1) A-2) Grinding process (A-5) for pulverizing the thermally fused material, manufactured in the grinding process (A-2) The pulverized material, or the pulverized material and fragrance produced in the pulverization process (A-2), and the pulverization process (A- 5) Compression and shear mixing process (A-6) in which the crushed material produced in step 5) is compressed and sheared and mixed, The mixture produced in the shrinkage and shearing mixing process (A-6) is cooled to below 0°C in the cooling process (A-7) ), and each of the following steps: (A-7) and (A-8) grinding the mixture cooled in the cooling step (A-7). It is characterized by the production of a mixed powder of fragrance source material / heat-melting substance, which includes a certain amount of material. The lurose fiber manufacturing process (B) consists of a pressing process (B-1) and a pressing process (B -1) A grinding process (B-2) in which the fiber plant has been ground, and the product manufactured in the grinding process (B-2) The crushed material is boiled in the boiling process (B-3), and the boiled material produced in the boiling process (B-3) is dehydrated. Drying dehydration and drying process (B-4), and the dried products produced in the dehydration and drying process (B-4) It consists of a crushing process (B-5) in which materials are crushed, and cellulose fibers are produced. Then, The heat fragrance generating substrate manufacturing process (D) is followed by the mixed powder manufacturing process (AI) and the cellulose fiber manufacturing process. Process (B), and mixing process (D-1) in which the materials produced in the material preparation process (CI) are mixed. ), the mixture produced in the mixing process (D-1) is compressed and sheared to form a sheet. • Sheets manufactured in the shearing process (D-2) and the compression-shearing process (D-2) The process includes a cutting step (D-3) to produce a heated aroma-generating substrate.

[0108] In particular, when incorporating fragrances into a heat-melting substance, to ensure that the fragrance is uniformly distributed within the heat-melting substance... Therefore, it is preferable to adopt the following manufacturing method: namely, fragrance source material, fragrance agent, and , a mixed powder manufacturing process (A-II) in which heat-melting substances are mixed, cellulose fibers from fiber plants Cellulose fiber manufacturing process (B), aerosol former, molding agent, binder, preservative , and a material preparation step (C-II) for preparing a desired material selected from water, and mixing Powder manufacturing process (A-II), cellulose fiber manufacturing process (B), and material preparation process Heat-to-generate aroma-generating substrate manufactured from materials produced in (C-II) It includes each step of the manufacturing process (D) and is characterized by the mixed powder manufacturing process (A-II).

[0109] In other words, this mixed powder manufacturing process (A-II) involves drying and insecticidal treatment of the aromatic material. Process (A-1), Crushing process to crush the aromatic material produced in drying and insecticidal process (A-1) A-2) A mixing step in which the thermally fused substance and the fragrance are mixed at a temperature above the melting point of the thermally fused substance. A-3), a cooling step (A-3) in which the mixture produced in the mixing step (A-3) is cooled to below 0°C. 4) Grinding process (A-5) to grind the mixture cooled in the cooling process (A-4), Grinding process The pulverized material produced in (A-2) and the pulverized material produced in the aforementioned pulverization process (A-5) are compressed and shredded. Compression and shear mixing process (A-6) where materials are cut and mixed, manufactured in the compression and shear mixing process (A-6) A cooling step (A-7) in which the mixture is cooled to below 0°C, and the cooling step (A-7) It is characterized by including a grinding step (A-8) in which the mixture is ground, and the aromatic source material / aromatic A fragrance / heat-melting substance mixed powder is produced. However, the cellulose fiber production process (B) is above The process is exactly the same as the cellulose fiber manufacturing process, and the heating aroma-generating substrate manufacturing process (D ) However, the basic process remains the same, only the materials are different: mixed powder manufacturing process (A-II) The materials produced in the cellulose fiber manufacturing process (B) and the material preparation process (C-II) Mixing process (D-1), Compression and shearing of the mixture produced in mixing process (D-1) Compression and shearing process (D-2) to form into a sheet, and Compression and shearing process (D- Manufacturing of a heated fragrance generating substrate, including a cutting process (D-3) in which the sheet manufactured in 2) is cut. It is a method.

[0110] Thus, in the mixed powder manufacturing process (A-II), the thermally fused substance and the fragrance are mixed. Mixing step (A-3) in which the mixture is mixed at a temperature above the melting point, and the product manufactured in mixing step (A-3) A cooling step (A-4) in which the mixture is cooled to below 0°C, and the mixture cooled in the cooling step (A-4) The mixture is then crushed in a grinding process (A-5), which transforms the fragrance into a heat-meltable substance. surely It can be made to exist, and the fragrance can be fixed, sorbed, and its Aromatic ingredients The generation of heat The molten material can be fully expressed.

[0111] The above heterogeneous heated aroma-generating substrate manufacturing process (D) is a compression and shearing process (D-2). This method is for producing a sheet of heterogeneous heated aroma-generating substrate, but is not limited to this method. It is not that. The following paper manufacturing process is used for the casting process (D'-2) It can also be used.

[0112] In other words, the heating aroma-generating substrate manufacturing process (D) is the mixed powder manufacturing process (AI) or ( A-II), Cellulose fiber manufacturing process (B), and Material preparation process (CI) or (C- II) Slurry manufacturing process (D'-1) involves mixing the materials manufactured in the above step to produce a slurry. The slurry produced in the slurry manufacturing process (D'-1) is subjected to papermaking, compression, and drying to form a sheet. A casting process (D'-2) to form a toe, and in the casting process (D'-2) The process is characterized by comprising a cutting step (D-3) in which the manufactured sheet is cut.

[0113] However, in the heating process for manufacturing the aroma-generating substrate (D), attention must be paid to compression and shearing. Whether it goes through a processing step or a casting step, the melting point of the thermally fused material It is not possible to apply temperatures above this level. Fragrance containing fragrance source material and / or fragrance agent. This is because the heat-melted powder destroys the phase separation structure dispersed in the heated aroma-generating substrate.

[0114] A heated fragrance generating substrate manufactured by any of the above-described manufacturing methods is also a fragrance source and / or Aromatic thermal fusion powder containing a fragrance agent in a thermal fusion substance is dispersed in a heated fragrance generating substrate, A heating substrate characterized by having a separation structure, and its aromatic heat fusion The minimum outer diameter of the dissolved powder is preferably 125 to 355 μm, and 150 to 300 μm. It is more preferable that it be present, and even more preferable that it be 180-250 μm. The outer diameter is determined by the thermal meltability and uniform dispersion of the aromatic thermal melting material, and the crushed aromatic The thermally fused material containing the raw materials and fragrances is sieved for sorting. The outer diameter of the aromatic thermally fused powder is large. If too much surface area is used, the total surface area decreases, reducing the opportunity for contact with the heat source, thus reducing the melting of the thermally fused material. Insufficient melting reduces the volatilization of aromatic components. On the other hand, the outer diameter of the aromatic thermally melted powder is too small. This makes it difficult to form a sea-island structure in which the powder is uniformly dispersed on the heated aroma-generating substrate. Because the powder exists as aggregated lumps, the melting rate decreases upon contact with a heat source. This creates an area where the fragrance components are less volatile, reducing their release. [Effects of the Invention]

[0115] Aromatic heat-melt powder containing fragrance source material and / or fragrance agent mixed in a heat-melt substance is uniformly dispersed. A heated fragrance source is provided in the heated fragrance cartridge, which has a phase separation structure. The heated fragrance-generating substrate generates an aerosol former that becomes a smoke component, as well as fragrance components. These volatile substances are sufficiently generated from tobacco plants, non-tobacco plants, and fragrances, and smoking We can provide heated fragrance cartridges that allow smokers to enjoy the smoke and aroma to their satisfaction. It turned out to be a bad feeling.

[0116] This is achieved, firstly, by the phase separation of the fragrance source material and / or fragrance agent from the aerosol former. This is based on the effect that each substance becomes more volatile when it comes into contact with a heat source. In particular, fragrance source materials and / or fragrances that volatilize by a heat source are thermally fused substances. By distributing it unevenly, the fragrance source material and the aroma-generating substrate are more concentrated than when they are present throughout the entire heated substrate. The concentration of the fragrance becomes locally high, and the fragrance components are efficiently volatilized upon contact with the heat source. This is because it produces the effect of: Secondly, because the thermal fluidity of the molten material is high, The volatile components of the fragrance source material and / or the fragrance agent generated therein move together with the aerosol former to the surface of the heated fragrance generating substrate, and this is due to the effect of promoting volatilization. Thirdly, compared with aerosol formers such as glycerin and propylene glycol, heat-melting substances such as wax and wax have a weaker interaction with the fragrance components, so this is based on the effect that the fragrance components are easily released from the heat-melting substances.

[0117] On the other hand, the heat-melting substance can surely fix the fragrance source material and / or the fragrance agent at room temperature, and can stably maintain the structure of the heated fragrance generating substrate formed by phase separation from the aerosol former. There is also such an effect.

This involves a drying and insecticidal process (A-1) in which the aromatic material is dried and insecticidal.

This compression and shearing process (D- 2) was carried out below the melting point of paraffin wax. The sheet formed in this way In the cutting process (D-3) where the sheet is cut, the width is 1.5 ± 0.1 mm and the length is approximately 240 mm. After being cut in that manner, it was wrapped in paper to achieve a predetermined filling rate. Then, it was wrapped in paper. The heated fragrance-generating substrate is cut to a length of 11.5 to 12.0 mm and then dried. This resulted in the production of a heated aroma source.

[0126] The heated aroma source manufactured in this manner is equipped with a blade-type heat source using a heater. In order to conduct a sensory evaluation using heated smoking devices, two types of heated fragrance cartridges were used. A jack was manufactured.

[0127] One side is a collection of heated aroma-generating substrates manufactured in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3-III-B. A heated fragrance generating source 1, in which the combined 1121 is wrapped with a heated fragrance generating base material wrapping member 112. 10 is a heated aroma source connecting part equipped with a female thread 10311 for fitting It is attached to the source connecting part (I) 1031A, while the support member 123 and filter - The member 122 is attached in the longitudinal direction and wrapped with the mouthpiece wrapping member 121. The filter mouthpiece 120-B1 with support member is for the mouthpiece connecting part. After being attached to the mouthpiece connecting part 1032 equipped with a mating male screw 10321, These heated fragrance cartridge connecting members (A) 103A are fitted into the support member Connecting type heated fragrance cartridge (B) with filter mouthpiece 1 00-III-B(a) That's what I decided.

[0128] On the other hand, as shown in Figure 3-III-C, the heated aroma-generating substrate collection manufactured in this embodiment A heated fragrance generating source 1, in which the combined 1121 is wrapped with a heated fragrance generating base material wrapping member 112. 10 is a heated aroma source connecting part equipped with a female thread 10311 for fitting The source connecting part (I) 1031A is attached, while the support member 123 and cooling member 124 and the filter member 122 are attached in this order in the longitudinal direction, and the mouthpiece slide Filter mouthpiece 120-C1 with support and cooling component wrapped with pin component 121 However, the mouthpiece connector is equipped with a mating male screw 10321 for the mouthpiece connecting part. After being mounted on the heating section 1032, these heating fragrance cartridge connecting members (A)103A is fitted and the connector has a filter mouthpiece with support and cooling members. Heating type fragrance cartridge (C) 100-III-C(a)That's what I decided.

[0129] The support member 123 used here moves the heated aroma source 110 in the suction direction. This function prevents this and also cools the volatile substances generated from the heated aroma source 110. As an example, a support member 123 with the structure shown in Figures 5-I and 5-II was used. The central part 1231 of the holding member is the two connecting type heated fragrance cartridges mentioned above. 100-II IB(a) and 100-III-C(a) It is located along the central axis in the X direction and its support With the central part 1231 of the member as the center of the target, the peripheral part 12 of the first support member extends radially. 32A and the second support member peripheral portion 1232B together form the support member peripheral portion 1232. And these first support member peripheral portion 1232A and second support member peripheral portion 1232B The space created between them becomes the gas flow path 1233. This is the outermost part of the support member periphery 1232. The surrounding portion is wrapped around the mouthpiece wrapping member 121 via adhesive and fixed to its inner surface. It is established.

[0130] Furthermore, the reinforced structure of the heated fragrance source 110 is such that the heated fragrance generating substrate 112 is heated The generating substrate is placed longitudinally on the wrapping member 111 and rolled up, and heated to generate fragrance. A base material assembly 1121 is wrapped with a heating fragrance generating base material wrapping member 111. Let's take source 110 as an example. Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of its cross-section. The heated aroma... When the generating substrate 112 aggregates, a large number of heated aroma-generating substrate aggregates 112A are formed. This causes primary aggregation within the aggregate 112A due to the displacement of the heated aroma-generating substrate 112. The secondary aggregate channel 112C formed between the body channel 112B and the aggregate 112A, and the heated aroma The space between the generating substrate 112 and the heated aroma generating substrate wrapping member 111 is the substrate-wrapping space. Since gas passages such as the gas passage 112D of the ing member are generated, the volatile substances generated by heating are These gas channels allow smokers to inhale aroma and smoke in a stable airflow. The heated fragrance source of the heated fragrance cartridge of the present invention, described later, is similar to this. It forms the following internal structure. A predetermined number of heated aroma sources 111, which are cut into prismatic shapes, are bundled together. Since the heated aroma source 110 is formed in a kneaded state, the volatile substances generated by heating are This allows smokers to inhale with a stable airflow.

[0131] The sensory test involved a smoker subject using the two types of connecting-type heated fragrance cartridges mentioned above. 100-III-B(a) and 100-III-C(a) Use the following to smoke As shown in Figure 6, the connecting type heated fragrance cartridge was evaluated. 100-III -C(a) heated smoking devices 200 It is mounted in the chamber 202 formed in the body 201. At the same time, a heat source 203 located in the center of the bottom of the chamber 202 is used to heat the aroma. It is inserted into the source 110, and the heated aroma source 110 is heated electronically, and smoking It is possible. Connecting type heated fragrance cartridge 100-III-B(a) Sensory testing was also conducted using the same method.

[0132] As a comparative example, the composition of the above heated fragrance generating substrate contains paraffin wax The composition is exactly the same except for the absence of the following steps: drying and insecticidal process (A-1) and crushing of the fragrance source material. The crushed aromatic source material produced in process (A-2) is mixed in the heated aromatic generating base material manufacturing process (D). Except for being added to the combined process (D-1), two types of heated aroma carts are used in the same manner as in Example 1. A ridge was manufactured. Then, a sensory evaluation was conducted in the same manner as in Example 1.

[0133] As a result, more than 8 out of 10 subjects found that both heated fragrance cartridges were not effective. Compared to the comparative example, Example 1 allowed for a stronger and more pleasant smoking experience in terms of both smoke and aroma. The following results were obtained. As is clear from this, the effect of making the aromatic material unevenly distributed in the heat-melted substance is The results were recognized. The following criteria were met for a product to pass. Example 2

[0134] Using the exact same composition as in Example 1, the heating aroma-generating substrate was produced by the manufacturing method shown in Figure 1-II. Except for being manufactured, the heated aroma source and the heated aroma car are the same as in Example 1. A tridge was manufactured. The manufacturing method shown in Figure 1-II involves crushed aromatic material, crushed thermally fused material, Furthermore, the invention is particularly useful in producing an aromatic thermal melting powder containing an aromatic source material and an aromatic agent by mixing the aromatic agent with the aromatic agent. There are characteristics, and similar to Example 1, the compression and shearing process (D-2) is below the melting point of the paraffin wax. The test was conducted in the same manner as in Example 1. The sensory evaluation was successful, but in this case, All 10 subjects reported that they were able to smoke more strongly and pleasantly than in the comparative example, both in terms of smoke and aroma. The results showed that the fragrance had the effect of causing the fragrance to be unevenly distributed in the heat-melting substance. Example 3

[0135] Using the exact same composition as in Example 1, the heating aroma-generating substrate was produced by the manufacturing method shown in Figure 1-III. Except for being manufactured, the heated aroma source and the heated aroma car are the same as in Example 1. A cartridge was manufactured. The manufacturing method shown in Figure 1-III involves mixing the fragrance at a temperature above the melting point of the thermally fused substance. Its distinguishing feature is its ability to combine, solving the operational challenges involved in mixing fragrances with heat-melting substances. In this case as in Example 1, the compression and shearing process (D-2) is performed using paraffin wax. The test was conducted below the melting point of the substance. The results of the sensory evaluation were the same as in Example 2 and were satisfactory. ≪Example 4≫

[0136] Using the exact same composition as in Example 1, a heating-to-aroma-generating substrate was produced by the manufacturing method shown in Figure 1-IV. Except for the fact that it was manufactured, the heated aroma source and the heated aroma cart are the same as in Example 1. A ridge was manufactured. The manufacturing method shown in Figure 1-IV is a heating process for manufacturing a fragrance generating substrate. A slurry manufacturing process (D'-1) and a casting process (D'- A key feature is the application of (2). This slurry manufacturing process (D'-1) and casting process. Process (D'-2), like the compression and shearing process (D'-2), is performed below the melting point of paraffin wax. The process was carried out. Similar results to those obtained in Example 2 were obtained using this manufacturing method as well.

[0137] The effects based on the characteristics of the heated aroma-generating substrate of the present invention have been specifically explained above, but next... Therefore, the present invention provides a heated aroma generating source using this heated aroma generating substrate, and this heated aroma A heated fragrance cartridge using a fragrance source will be explained in detail with reference to a diagram. However, the present invention is not limited to these, and various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It is possible to implement further, and is not limited to the technical concept described in the claims. It is something that is done.

[0138] The heated aroma source 110 is as shown in (b) of Figures 3-IA to 3-III-C, If at least one aggregate 1121 of the heated aroma-generating substrate 112 produced in Examples 1 to 4 is In this embodiment, the heated fragrance cartridge is a cylindrical body of the heated fragrance cartridge.

The form can be prismatic, granular, scaly, etc., and is not particularly limited, but is intended to ensure a clear path for the aroma and smoke. A cylindrical or prismatic shape is preferred. In this embodiment, for example, the heated aroma generating substrate shown in Figure 4. The aggregate 112 1121 is wrapped with a heating aroma generating substrate wrapping member 111. As illustrated in the schematic cross-sectional diagram of the aroma source 110, the heated aroma generating substrate 11 is a rectangular prism. 2 is used. As is clear from the figure, the aggregate 1121 of the heated aroma-generating substrate 112 is As a result, a large number of heated aroma-generating substrate aggregates 112A are formed, Within A, the primary aggregate channel 112B and aggregate 11 are formed by the misalignment of the heated aroma-generating substrate 112. The secondary aggregate flow channel 112C formed between 2A, and the heated aroma generating substrate 112 and the heated aroma The space between the generated substrate and the wrapping member 111 is the substrate-wrapping member gas flow path 112D, etc. Because gas channels are created, volatile substances generated by heating pass through these gas channels. This allows smokers to inhale aroma and smoke with a stable airflow. Such a gas flow path is The same formation process can be used for sheets, cylinders, prismatics, granules, and flaks.
