Effect of the Invention

[0016] According to the technical solution of the present application, a filter is manufactured by carrying hyaluronic acid-containing material on the filter body.When this filter is attached to the body that can generate mist of an atomizer, for example, as mist is constantly generated, the mist flows through the filter, contacts with the hyaluronic acid-containing material therein, carries hyaluronic acid, enters human body, and realizes the absorption of hyaluronic acid by human body.That is, according to the technical solution of the present application, it is possible to make the mist that passes through the filter carry a substance that is beneficial to human body, so that it can be easily absorbed by human body. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] The following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. It is clear that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without performing creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0018] In addition, the technical solutions in each embodiment can be combined with each other, provided that it can be realized by a person skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions causes a contradiction or is not realized, it should be understood that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present application.

[0019] In response to the problems reflected in the background art, the present application proposes a filter, which includes a filter body and a hyaluronic acid-containing substance, and the hyaluronic acid-containing substance is supported by the filter body.

[0020] The molecular formula of hyaluronic acid (abbreviated as HA in English) is (C 14 H 21 NO 11 ) n It is a disaccharide unit glycosaminoglycan consisting of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine.

[0021] Hyaluronic acid is widely used as a biochemical drug in various ophthalmic surgeries, and is also used in the treatment of arthritis and the promotion of wound healing. When used in cosmetics, it can exert a unique skin protective effect, keep the skin moist, smooth, fine, soft and elastic, and has the effects of preventing and reducing wrinkles, improving beauty and health, and restoring the physiological functions of the skin.

[0022] At the same time, hyaluronic acid can be used as food. When hyaluronic acid is orally ingested and absorbed, the precursors of hyaluronic acid synthesis in the human body increase, thereby increasing the content of hyaluronic acid in the human body and localizing it intensively in skin tissue, and further increasing the water retention of the skin and softening the stratum corneum of the skin, thereby improving the elasticity of the skin and reducing wrinkles. While cosmetics containing hyaluronic acid act only on the surface layer of the skin to exert a local moisturizing effect, oral intake of hyaluronic acid increases the content of endogenous hyaluronic acid through the decomposition, absorption and resynthesis of exogenous hyaluronic acid in the body, so that it has an overall beauty and health effect. Hyaluronic acid also plays a role in promoting intestinal resistance to some types of bacterial infection, improving joint function, and protecting the gastric mucosa.

[0023] Therefore, according to the technical solution of the present application, a filter is manufactured by carrying hyaluronic acid-containing material on the filter body.When this filter cooperates with the body that can generate mist, such as an atomizer, as mist is constantly generated, the mist flows through the filter, contacts with the hyaluronic acid-containing material therein, and carries hyaluronic acid and enters the human body, and then realizes the absorption of hyaluronic acid by the human body.That is, according to the technical solution of the present application, it is possible to make the mist that passes through the filter carry a substance that is beneficial to the human body, so that it can be easily absorbed by the human body.

[0024] Of course, the atomizer cooperating with the above-mentioned filter may be an atomizer in a medical atomization device, an atomizer in an electronic cigarette, or any other form of atomizer.

[0025] For the above mentioned filters, this application further proposes two specific implementations.

[0026] (1) The hyaluronic acid-containing substance in the filter is a hyaluronic acid-containing powder.

[0027] Of course, the hyaluronic acid-containing powder can be hyaluronic acid powder or a mixture of hyaluronic acid powder and additive powder, that is, hyaluronic acid is prepared in the form of a pure substance powder or a mixture powder, and then disposed in the filter body.

[0028] Specifically, when hyaluronic acid is produced as a pure substance powder in the form of powder, freeze-dried powder of hyaluronic acid can be used.Furthermore, this pure substance powder can be pulverized by low-temperature pulverization technology to control the particle size between 0.001μm and 0.1mm.The particle size can be 0.001μm, 0.002μm, 0.005μm, 0.01μm, 0.02μm, 0.05μm, 0.1μm, 0.2μm, 0.5μm, 1μm, 2μm, 5μm, 10μm, 50μm, 100μm.

[0029] Similarly, freeze-dried powder of hyaluronic acid can be used when preparing a mixed powder of hyaluronic acid in powder form. In this case, the freeze-dried hyaluronic acid powder needs to be mixed with one or more food grade additive powders having self-lubrication and low moisture absorption. The additives may be menthol, magnesium stearate, carnauba wax, mannitol, L-α-amino acid, isomaltulose, etc. Furthermore, it is also possible to pulverize the mixed powder by low-temperature pulverization technology to control the particle size to between 0.001 μm and 0.1 mm. The particle size may be 0.001 μm, 0.002 μm, 0.005 μm, 0.01 μm, 0.02 μm, 0.05 μm, 0.1 μm, 0.2 μm, 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 2 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm, 50 μm, or 100 μm.

[0030] It should be noted that when hyaluronic acid-containing powder is filled into the filter body, the filter body is mainly composed of a roll, a filter material and a porous silicone rubber stopper.In one possible embodiment, the roll is a cylindrical structure with both ends open, the roll has a tobacco tar end and a suction end that are arranged in opposite directions, the filter material and the porous silicone rubber stopper are both filled into the roll, the filter material and the porous silicone rubber stopper are arranged in order from the tobacco tar end to the suction end, the inside of the porous silicone rubber stopper forms an airway that passes through both ends of the porous silicone rubber stopper in the direction from the tobacco tar end to the suction end, a hollow chamber is formed between the filter material and the silicone rubber stopper, and the hollow chamber is filled with hyaluronic acid-containing powder.According to this structural setting, when user inhales, the mist is first filtered by the filter material, and the temperature is lowered before entering the hollow chamber, and the hyaluronic acid-containing powder in the hollow chamber flows through the airway of the porous silicone rubber stopper together with the mist, and finally flows out and enters the oral cavity of human body, and is absorbed by human body. The filter medium comprises polylactic acid fibers, polyglycolic acid fibers, or polypropylene fibers, or copolymer fibers of at least two of the foregoing polymer monomers.

[0031] (2) The hyaluronic acid-containing substance in the filter is made into a hyaluronic acid-containing capsule.

[0032] That is, hyaluronic acid is produced in capsule form and filled into the filter body in the form of capsules, so that when the capsule is pressed and burst during use, the hyaluronic acid-containing liquid contained therein flows out together with the mist into the human mouth, allowing it to be efficiently absorbed by the human body.

[0033] Specifically, the hyaluronic acid-containing capsule includes a wall material and a core material coated with the wall material, the core material is produced by suspending hyaluronic acid powder in a medium-chain fatty acid ester, and the wall material includes at least one of gelatin, sodium alginate, pullulan polysaccharide, gum arabic, carrageenan, and agar. The hyaluronic acid powder may be a freeze-dried powder of hyaluronic acid, and the medium-chain fatty acid ester may be an ester of octanoic acid, decanoic acid, and glycerin. The diameter of the hyaluronic acid-containing capsule may be controlled to be between 2mm and 5mm.

[0034] Of course, when suspending the hyaluronic acid powder in the medium-chain fatty acid ester, other additives may be added to the medium-chain fatty acid ester according to the requirements of the actual usage scene, and the additives may be in the form of either powder or liquid.

[0035] In addition, when filling hyaluronic acid-containing powder into filter body, when filling hyaluronic acid-containing capsule into filter body, filter body is mainly composed of roll, filter material and porous silicone rubber stopper.In one possible embodiment, roll is a cylindrical structure with both ends open, roll has tobacco tar end and suction end that are arranged in opposite directions, filter material and porous silicone rubber stopper are both filled in roll, filter material and porous silicone rubber stopper are arranged in order from tobacco tar end to suction end, and inside porous silicone rubber stopper, airway is formed that penetrates both ends of porous silicone rubber stopper in the direction from tobacco tar end to suction end, and hollow chamber is formed between filter material and silicone rubber stopper, and hyaluronic acid-containing capsule is filled in this hollow chamber. According to this structural setting, when the user inhales, the mist is first filtered by the filter material, the temperature is lowered, and then it enters the hollow chamber, and when the capsule containing hyaluronic acid in the hollow chamber is pressed and bursts, the liquid containing hyaluronic acid flows out and dissipates, and flows through the airway of the porous silicone rubber plug together with the mist, and finally flows out and enters the oral cavity of the human body and is absorbed by the human body. The filter material includes polylactic acid fiber, polyglycolic acid fiber, or polypropylene fiber, or copolymer fiber of at least two of the above polymer monomers.

[0036] In addition, whether it is a hyaluronic acid-containing powder or a hyaluronic acid-containing capsule, the hyaluronic acid exists in the form of molecules. In this embodiment, the relative molecular weight of hyaluronic acid is set to 10 3 ~10 8 Specifically, the relative molecular weight of hyaluronic acid is selected within the range of 10 3 , 10 4 , 10 5 , 10 6 , 10 7 , 10 8 Of course, sources of hyaluronic acid include extraction from animals and fermentation by microorganisms.

[0037] The filter of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific examples.

[0038] Example 1: Preparation of a filter loaded with hyaluronic acid freeze-dried powder 70g of freeze-dried hyaluronic acid powder was mixed with 10g of menthol, 10g of isomaltulose, and 1g of magnesium stearate, then pulverized to within 15μm using a low-temperature grinder, and divided into 1000 filter bodies and packaged to produce filters. Microparticulated hyaluronic acid easily enters the respiratory tract, and the smaller the particles, the longer the free flight distance, which allows it to penetrate deep into the respiratory tract and distribute on the outer wall of the tissue, providing nutrition to the epithelial tissue of the respiratory tract.

[0039] Example 2: Preparation of a filter carrying hyaluronic acid capsules 1g of menthol and 2mL of glycerin were added to 20mL of ester of octanoic acid and decanoic acid with glycerin, dissolved and mixed uniformly, then 18g of freeze-dried hyaluronic acid powder was added to form a suspension, which was then encapsulated with sodium alginate to form 1000 capsules, which were then divided into 1000 filter bodies and packaged to produce the filter. By encapsulating hyaluronic acid dispersed in ester of octanoic acid and decanoic acid with glycerin, the aggregation of highly hydrophilic hyaluronic acid is suppressed, its biological activity is maintained, and it is more uniformly dispersed in the digestive tract, making it easier to be directly absorbed in a large molecular weight state, which is more beneficial to health.

[0040] For the above reasons, the hyaluronic acid-containing filter of the present application can be widely applied to atomization assemblies (e.g., medical atomization devices, electronic cigarettes, etc.) and cigarettes, and can enable the mist that passes through the filter to carry substances beneficial to the human body, making it easier for the human body to absorb them.

[0041] The present application further proposes a cigarette, which includes the above-mentioned filter, and specific embodiments of the filter may refer to the relevant content of the above-mentioned filter part. The cigarette adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, and therefore has at least all the beneficial effects brought by all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, and will not be detailed here.

[0042] The present application further proposes an atomization assembly, which includes an atomizer and the above-mentioned filter, and the specific embodiment of the filter can refer to the relevant content of the above-mentioned filter part. The atomization assembly adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, and at least has all the beneficial effects brought by all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, and will not be detailed here.

[0043] The filter is attached to a mist outlet of the atomizer so that the mist generated by the atomizer is guided through the filter.

[0044] Of course, the atomizing assembly may be an atomizing assembly in a medical atomizing device, an atomizing assembly in an electronic cigarette, or an atomizing assembly in other devices.

[0045] The above is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the scope of the patent of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformation made by utilizing the contents of the specification of the present application under the concept of the present application, or direct / indirect application to other related technical fields, is also included in the scope of protection of the patent of the present application.
