DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] The present invention will be described below.Unless otherwise specified, it should be understood that the terms used in this specification are used in the meaning commonly used in the field.Therefore, unless otherwise defined, all technical terms and scientific and technical terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention belongs.In the case of conflict, this specification (including definitions) shall prevail.

[0011] The objective of this invention is to free a user from the hassle of carrying two tobacco devices, to enable two puffs from one cigarette, and to achieve cost reduction. A heated tobacco device for enjoying non-combustion heated tobacco, A first tobacco insertion portion into which the heated tobacco product can be inserted; a second tobacco insertion portion into which the heated tobacco product can be inserted; The device has a housing including: the first tobacco insert is provided with an internal heating device; The second tobacco insertion section is configured to include an external heating device, thereby solving the above-mentioned problems.

[0012] Therefore, the heated tobacco device of the present invention has a device housing equipped with a first tobacco insertion section into which a heated tobacco can be inserted, and a second tobacco insertion section into which a heated tobacco can be inserted, and the first tobacco insertion section is equipped with an internal heating device, and the second tobacco insertion section is equipped with an external heating device, so long as the other configurations are not particularly limited.

[0013] (Heated tobacco) As long as it is a non-combustion type heated tobacco, its configuration may be any form. For example, as shown in FIG. 1(a), a heated tobacco 10 is composed of at least a raw material filling section 11 filled with tobacco raw material, and a filter section 12 that also functions as a mouthpiece for the user. Any commercially available raw material may be used for the tobacco raw material. Similarly, commercially available filter structures and materials may be used. In addition, the tobacco raw material filling section 11 has a dielectric material 13 at the approximate center, which is the object to be heated by an internal heating device 20 described later.

[0014] (Heated tobacco device) A heated tobacco device is a device that functions to heat the tobacco raw material of a heated tobacco, and includes a housing with a tobacco insertion section into which the heated tobacco can be inserted. The size and material of the housing may be arbitrary.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 1(b), in one embodiment, the heated tobacco device 100 is composed of a housing having two sections, a first tobacco insertion section A and a second tobacco insertion section B, and the first tobacco insertion section A is equipped with an internal heating device 20 for heating the tobacco raw material filling section 11 of the heated tobacco device 10 from the inside.

[0016] The second tobacco insertion section B is also provided with an external heating device 30 for heating the tobacco raw material filled section 11 of the heat-not-burn tobacco 10 from the outside.

[0017] The heating devices of the inner heating device 20 and the outer heating device 30 may be of any type as long as they are capable of heating the tobacco raw material filling section 11. For example, the heating devices may be electric heaters or electromagnetic induction devices. The type of electric heater may also be any type, such as a ceramic heater or an electric heating wire. The electric heater or electromagnetic induction device is connected to a battery 40 provided inside the housing.

[0018] The internal heating device 20 is, for example, an electromagnetic induction device, and is disposed on the inner wall around the bottom of the first tobacco insertion section A. With this configuration, by inserting the tobacco raw material loading section 11 side of the heated tobacco 10 into the first tobacco insertion section A and driving the internal heating device 20, the dielectric material 13 in the tobacco raw material loading section 11 is heated by electromagnetic induction force, and as a result, it becomes possible to heat the heated tobacco 10 from the inside.

[0019] For example, the external heating device 30 is an electric heater and is disposed on the inner wall around the bottom of the second tobacco insertion section B. The inside of the external heating device 30 is adapted to abut against the outer periphery of the heated tobacco 10 (tobacco raw material filling section 11) when the heated tobacco 10 is inserted. The external heating device 30 (electric heater) is also connected to a battery 40, similar to the internal heating device 20. With this configuration, it becomes possible for the external heating device 30 to heat the heated tobacco 10 from the outside.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1(c), in one embodiment, the heated tobacco device 110 is composed of a housing with one tobacco insertion section C, in which an internal heating device 20 and an external heating device 30 are integrated for heating the tobacco raw material filling section 11 of the heated tobacco product 10 from the inside.

[0021] The internal heating device 20 and the external heating device 30 of the tobacco insertion portion C have the same configurations as the internal heating device 20 and the external heating device 30 shown in FIG. 1(b).

[0022] For example, Fig. 1(d) shows a top view of a heated tobacco device 110. As shown in the figure, an inner heating device 20 consisting of an electromagnetic induction device and an outer heating device 30 consisting of a heater are arranged along the circumferential direction of the tobacco insertion portion C. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, both the inner heating device 20 and the outer heating device 30 may cover the entire circumference of the tobacco insertion portion C, and the tobacco insertion portion C may be arranged at positions at different heights.

[0023] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0024] (Embodiment 1) FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a heated tobacco device 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention and a method for using the same.

[0025] FIG. 2(a) shows a state before a user inhales the heated tobacco product 10, in which the heated tobacco product 10 and the heated tobacco device 100 are separate.

[0026] As shown in Fig. 2(b), a user inserts a heated tobacco product 10 into the first tobacco insertion section A of the heated tobacco device 100 from the tobacco raw material loading section 11 side. In the inserted state, the internal heating device 20, which is an electromagnetic induction device, is driven to heat the dielectric material 13 present in the tobacco raw material loading section 11. As a result, the heated tobacco product 10 is heated from the inside, and in this state, the user can inhale tobacco components through the filter section 12 of the heated tobacco product 10.

[0027] When inhalation of the heated tobacco 10 by heating by the internal heating device 20 has finished, the heated tobacco 10 is removed from the first tobacco insertion portion A, and then, as shown in Figure 2 (c), the heated tobacco 10 is inserted into the second tobacco insertion portion B of the heated tobacco 100 from the tobacco raw material filling portion 11 side.

[0028] When inserted into the second tobacco insertion portion B, the heated tobacco 10 is inserted in a state in which the outside of the tobacco raw material filling portion 11 of the heated tobacco 10 abuts against the inner wall of the ring-shaped external heating device. By heating the external heating device 30 in this state, the heated tobacco 10 is heated from the outside, and in this state the user can inhale tobacco components through the filter portion 12 of the heated tobacco 10.

[0029] The flow from FIG. 1(a) to FIG. 1(c) makes it possible to enjoy two puffs with one heated tobacco product 10, one caused by heating inside and one caused by heating outside, using one heated tobacco product device.

[0030] In this embodiment, suction is performed by internal heating the first time and suction is performed by external heating the second time, but it is also possible to perform suction by external heating the first time and suction by internal heating the second time.

[0031] As described above, by using the heated tobacco device 100 of the present invention, it is possible to enjoy heated tobacco twice, by heating it both internally and externally, with one tobacco device, which has the excellent effects of being easier to carry than conventional devices and achieving cost reduction.

[0034] As shown in Figure 3(b), a user inserts the heated tobacco product 10 into the tobacco insertion section C of the heated tobacco device 110 from the tobacco raw material loading section 11 side. In the inserted state, the internal heating device 20, which is an electromagnetic induction device, is driven to heat the dielectric material 13 present in the tobacco raw material loading section 11. As a result, the heated tobacco product 10 is heated from the inside, and in this state, the user can inhale tobacco components through the filter section 12 of the heated tobacco product 10.

[0035] Then, when the inhalation of the heated tobacco 10 by heating using the internal heating device 20 is completed, the external heating device 30 is then heated, thereby heating the heated tobacco 10 from the outside, and in this state the user is able to inhale tobacco components through the filter portion 12 of the heated tobacco 10.

[0036] The flow from Figure 3(a) to Figure 3(b) makes it possible to enjoy two puffs with a single heated tobacco device 110, one by heating inside and one by heating outside, with a single heated tobacco product 10.

[0037] Figure 3 In this embodiment, suction is performed by internal heating the first time and suction is performed by external heating the second time, but it is also possible to perform suction by external heating the first time and suction by internal heating the second time.

[0038] As described above, by using the heated tobacco device of the present invention, it is possible to enjoy heated tobacco twice, by heating it both internally and externally, using one tobacco device, which has the excellent effects of being easier to carry than conventional devices and achieving cost reduction.
