Description

Heating non-combustion smoke passage and its matching cartridge TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to novel tobacco heating non-combustion technical field, concretely relates to a kind of smoke passage and its matching cartridge design that single cartridge is segmented heating and is sucked multiple times. BACKGROUND

[0002] Currently, heating non-combustion appliances on the market are matched with special cartridges, which heat tobacco or reconstituted tobacco leaves in the cartridge to generate smoke aerosol for smoking. The tobacco or reconstituted tobacco leaves in the cartridge can only be heated once, so after a single heating and smoking, a new cartridge must be replaced. If a single cartridge can be inserted into a heating appliance and smoked multiple times, the frequency of replacing cartridges can be reduced, and the user experience can be improved.

[0003] Heating non-combustion technology improves the efficiency of tobacco use, with a single cartridge containing only 1 / 3 to 1 / 4 of the tobacco in a traditional cigarette. Currently, the length of tobacco segments in heating non-combustion cartridges on the market varies, but they are all much shorter than the length of tobacco segments in traditional cigarettes. However, due to the requirement of heating performance, whether internal heating or external heating, the tobacco segment must have a certain heating length to generate enough heat in the cigarette segment to heat the tobacco at a high temperature and produce sufficient smoke aerosol. The heating segment has high and low temperature zones due to uneven heating, and the tobacco in the low temperature zone has low efficiency and is wasted. By segmenting the heating, the tobacco in the low temperature zone that is not fully utilized during the first heating and smoking process can be further heated and utilized during the second heating and smoking process, further improving the efficiency of tobacco use. Compared to single-segment single-suck cartridges, multi-segment multi-suck cartridges can further improve the efficiency of tobacco use and reduce tobacco consumption.

[0004] Currently, heating non-combustion cartridges on the market are composed of a tobacco segment, a cooling segment, and a filter segment. During smoking, air enters from the bottom of the cartridge, carrying the smoke generated by the high-temperature baking of the tobacco segment into the internal cooling segment of the cartridge, and then through the filter provided by the cartridge for smoking. The reason why a single cartridge cannot be segmented and heated for multiple sucks is that if the cartridge is segmented and heated, heating the segment closest to the filter first and then heating the subsequent segments, the generated smoke will be absorbed by the tobacco segment closest to the filter, resulting in no smoke or very little smoke passing through this segment. If the segment farthest from the filter is heated first, the smoke will also be absorbed by the unheated tobacco segment closest to the filter, resulting in no smoke or very little smoke. To allow smoke to pass through the cartridge, the entire cartridge must be heated.

[0005] To address the problems of existing technology, such as the inability of cartridges to be segmented and heated for multiple sucks and the unreasonable design of the smoke passage, which can easily result in poor taste, a smoke passage and its matching cartridge design are provided. SUMMARY

[0006] The technical problem solved by the utility model in general is to provide a heating non-combustion flue and a matched cigarette cartridge.

[0022] The heating pipe is segmented and heated from the upper end to the lower end.

[0023] When the cartridge body is in a heating state, the heating pipe heats the cartridge body to generate high-temperature smoke;

[0024] When the mouthpiece generates negative pressure, the high-temperature smoke enters the side smoke channel after passing through the opening A; the side flow smoke is formed in the side smoke channel and then enters the mixing chamber to mix with the external air entering from the side air inlet hole to form smoke aerosol, which rises into the mouthpiece and then comes out.

[0025] In order to realize sufficient mixing, the side connecting channel is vertically arranged with the mixing chamber.

[0030] On the basis of the above scheme, the mixing chamber is connected with the mouthpiece, the smoke aerosol generated by the mixing chamber enters the oral cavity through the mouthpiece inlet for smoking, and the mouthpiece includes but is not limited to a fixed mouthpiece, a disposable filter, and other devices that can be inhaled into the mouth.

[0031] A multi-segment and multi-puff cartridge design, comprising a tobacco segment and a pull segment, the tobacco segment is wrapped with a perforated paper or a paper with high air permeability.

[0032] On the basis of the above scheme, the paper wrapped around the tobacco segment needs to be perforated or selected to have high air permeability, so that the smoke generated by the high-temperature tobacco can pass through the outer layer of paper and enter the side smoke channel. The holes on the paper can be arranged regularly or irregularly, and the holes can be formed by laser or punching, or a paper with high air permeability can be used.

[0033] The smoke cartridge body is connected with a pulling section; on the basis of the above scheme, the pulling section is used for inserting and pulling out the smoke cartridge, and meanwhile, a certain suction resistance value is provided to control the air flow passing through the smoke cartridge during suction.

[0034] The utility model discloses a multi-section multi-time suction smoke passage, more importantly, the smoke simultaneously flows through the inside of cigarette and side smoke passage, and the high-temperature smoke is easily absorbed by the tobacco at the low-temperature place inside the cigarette when flowing in the cigarette, resulting in the total amount of smoke being less.

[0035] The mixed gas bin in the prior art is arranged at the top of the side smoke passage, the smoke generated by different heating sections flows through the side smoke passage to the mixed gas bin at different distances, resulting in poor consistency of the suction taste of different heating sections.
