Description

A multi-stage series continuous smoke-generating and compound aroma-enhancing smoke-generating product and smoke-generating system Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of herbal plant products technology, and in particular to a multi-stage series continuous smoke-generating and compound aroma-enhancing smoke-generating product and smoke-generating system. Background Technology

[0002] Heated tobacco products, also known as tobacco cartridges, use tobacco and non-tobacco materials to generate smoke. They typically employ an electronic heater to heat the material, producing an aerosol for inhalation. These products have diverse structures, primarily consisting of a smoke-generating section, a middle section, and a filter. The smoke-generating section is mainly used to generate smoke, the middle section to lower the temperature, and the filter for inhalation. The amount of smoke produced, its sustainability, flavor, and temperature are the most important indicators for evaluating the quality of heated tobacco products in the market, as these factors affect the taste and user experience, thus influencing the product's marketability. Therefore, research in this field focuses on improving smoke production, smoke sustainability, comfortable smoke temperature, and developing various flavors to provide users with a better taste experience.

[0003] Currently, common smoke-generating structures on the market include a solid smoke-generating body, a hollow cylindrical cooling section, and a filter with flavoring capsules. To improve flavor and taste, various flavorings are added to the flavoring capsules. To reduce the burning sensation at the filter tip, hollow cylinders, paper tubes, silicone tubes, etc., are used as cooling sections, or the length of the hollow cylinder is increased to lower the smoke temperature. In this structure, the cooling section, such as the hollow cylinder, occupies a large volume space but only serves to lower the smoke temperature, wasting the smoke body structure and offering no benefit to smoke output or smoke duration. Research in this field focuses on improving smoke output, smoke duration, and the variety and persistence of flavors to increase the number of puffs and the overall taste. Currently, most systems allow for approximately 10-15 puffs, primarily relying on the heated tobacco or non-tobacco materials in the smoke-generating section and the flavorings at the filter tip. To address this issue, existing technologies disclose methods to increase smoke production by extending the length of the smoke-generating section or to improve aroma persistence by increasing the content of flavorings and fragrances. More importantly, existing smoke-generating devices typically consist of only one smoke-generating section. Once this section finishes producing smoke, the entire smoking process ends, resulting in a short duration. This is the primary reason for insufficient smoke production and short duration. Furthermore, each smoke-generating product is equipped with an intermediate cooling section and a filter. After a few seconds of smoking, the product is discarded. The intermediate cooling section and filter suffer minimal structural damage after a few seconds of smoking and can theoretically continue to be used for a period of time. However, these two materials are used in large quantities, leading to significant material waste and increasing the production cost of smoke-generating products.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a smoking product that produces a large amount of smoke, lasts for a long time, has a rich aroma, and offers a better taste, while minimizing material waste, so that consumers can have more choices with a variety of flavors. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a multi-stage series continuous smoke-generating and aroma-enhancing smoke-generating product and smoke-generating system, the main purpose of which is to solve the problems of low smoke production, low smoke persistence, poor aroma persistence, single aroma, and material waste in the prior art.

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, a multi-stage series-connected continuous smoke-generating and compound aroma-enhancing smoking article is provided, the smoking article comprising:

[0007] The smoke-generating body, the flavor-enhancing body, and the filter body are wrapped together in a strip shape by the outer packaging material with the first and last ends connected.

[0008] Among them, the smoke-generating body is a cylindrical body I formed by rolling tobacco or non-tobacco materials I;

[0009] The flavoring agent is a tube II formed by rolling tobacco or non-tobacco materials II.

[0010] Furthermore, the smoke-generating body is a solid cylindrical body I formed by rolling thin sheet-like tobacco or non-tobacco material I from one end to the other, or the smoke-generating body is a solid cylindrical body I formed by randomly rolling filament-like tobacco or non-tobacco material I, or the smoke-generating body is a solid cylindrical body I made of particles of tobacco or non-tobacco material I.

[0011] In this embodiment of the invention, the smoke generator, the flavor enhancer, and the filter are arranged adjacent to each other, and may abut against each other or have a slight gap. The order of the smoke generator and the flavor enhancer can be interchanged.

[0012] Furthermore, the smoke generator is infused with flavoring particles or powder, which can increase the amount of smoke produced and the intensity of the aroma.

[0013] Furthermore, the non-tobacco material I includes tea leaves or cannabis; preferably, the tea leaves are selected from at least one of green tea, black tea, dark tea, white tea, yellow tea, flower tea, oolong tea, fruit tea, and medicinal tea.

[0014] Furthermore, the non-tobacco materials in Tobacco or Non-Tobacco Material II include plant fiber materials, non-woven fabric materials, paper materials, polymer materials, and novel biodegradable plant polysaccharide aerogels; preferably, plant fiber materials include hemp fiber materials; polymer materials include polylactic acid materials; non-woven fabric materials are materials with a temperature resistance of 50°C or higher; and paper materials are special papers with a temperature resistance of 50°C or higher.

[0015] The smoke-generating materials of the smoke-generating body and the flavor-enhancing body of the present invention can be the same or different.

[0016] Furthermore, the cylindrical body II is a solid cylindrical body or a hollow cylindrical body;

[0017] The surface of the solid cylinder material is coated with fragrance-enhancing particles or powder, or the solid cylinder material is impregnated with fragrance-enhancing liquid, or the solid cylinder material contains fragrance or flavoring, or the solid cylinder is fitted with fragrance-enhancing threads inside.

[0018] The hollow cylinder has fragrance attached to its inner and / or outer surfaces, or the interior of the hollow cylinder is filled with fragrance-enhancing particles or powder.

[0019] Furthermore, the flavor enhancer includes one or more of flavor enhancer I, flavor enhancer II, flavor enhancer III, flavor enhancer IV, flavor enhancer V, and flavor enhancer VI; it may also include more flavor enhancers.

[0020] The flavoring agent I is a tube II-1 formed by rolling tobacco or non-tobacco material II-1, with flavoring particles or powder adhering to its surface. The tobacco or non-tobacco material provides the smoke output and aroma, and the flavoring substances on its surface further enhance or prolong the smoke output or aroma, improving smoke persistence and thus providing a better taste and longer smoking time. The tube density of flavoring agent I can be lower than that of the smoke-generating body, meaning the tube II-1 is rolled more sparsely. This facilitates the passage of warm smoke from the smoke-generating body through flavoring agent I, reducing resistance to smoke passage. Alternatively, the tube density of flavoring agent I can be rolled more densely, or similar to that of the smoke-generating body. When a heat source can provide heat to flavoring agent I, the tube density of flavoring agent I II-1 and the added flavoring particles or powder can be appropriately increased to produce a larger smoke output and a richer aroma, without considering whether the smoke temperature of the smoke-generating body I is sufficient.

[0021] Flavor enhancer II is a tube II-2 formed by rolling tobacco or non-tobacco material II-2, and the tobacco or non-tobacco material II-2 is impregnated with flavor enhancer liquid. The impregnation process is an existing technology. By impregnating the smoking material with flavor enhancer liquid, the amount of smoke produced and the intensity of the aroma can be further improved. When the rolling density of flavor enhancer II is relatively small, that is, when the tube II-2 is rolled sparsely, it is also more conducive to the smooth passage of the warm smoke conveyed by the smoking body. The rolling density of flavor enhancer II can also be large. When the heat source can provide heat for flavor enhancer II, the density of tube II-2 of flavor enhancer II and the amount of added impregnation flavor liquid can be appropriately increased. The purpose is to produce a larger amount of smoke and a richer aroma, without having to consider whether the smoke temperature of smoking body I is sufficient.

[0022] Flavor enhancer III is a tube II-3 formed by rolling tobacco or non-tobacco materials II-3, and flavor enhancer thread is rolled inside tube II-3. The flavor enhancer thread is impregnated with flavor enhancer liquid; the diameter of the flavor enhancer thread is generally about 0.1 to 2 mm, which can be adjusted according to the actual amount of flavor. The number of flavor enhancer threads can also be one, two, three, etc.; preferably, one flavor enhancer thread with a diameter of 1 mm is rolled in the tube. Flavor enhancer III can be rolled tightly or loosely. Similarly, when flavor enhancer III is heated by a heat source, its density is not limited, mainly to improve the amount of smoke and the flavor enhancer effect.

[0023] Flavor enhancer IV is a tube II-4 formed by rolling tobacco or non-tobacco materials II-4, and flavor enhancer particles or powder are filled inside the tube II-4. The tube can be rolled into a hollow tube or into a tube with two or three layers. Flavor enhancer particles or powder can be directly filled into the hollow tube or sprinkled between the layers. These particles can further improve the amount of smoke and aroma, and also make it easier for the smoke from the smoke-generating body to pass through the flavor enhancer. Because it is extremely sparse or hollow, the smoke resistance is very small, and it can also reduce the temperature of the smoke from the smoke-generating body. The structure of this type of flavor enhancer IV can not only improve the amount of secondary smoke and aroma, but also further reduce the smoke temperature and reduce the resistance of the smoke passing through.

[0024] Flavor enhancer V is a tube II-5 formed by rolling tobacco or non-tobacco materials II-5, and tube II-5 is a hollow tube with flavoring attached to the inner or outer surface of the hollow tube. Compared with flavor enhancer IV, this structure allows smoke to pass through more easily and has less resistance. Because its surface is attached with flavoring, it can also further produce smoke and aroma, but the amount of smoke is less than that of flavor enhancer IV.

[0025] Flavor enhancer VI is a tube II-6 formed by rolling tobacco or non-tobacco material II-6, and tube II-6 is a solid tube containing flavoring or fragrance. This structure is similar to flavor enhancer II, but the flavoring process is relatively easier, which can further improve the amount of smoke and the aroma.

[0026] Furthermore, the tobacco or non-tobacco material II-1 is in sheet form and has adhesive properties. Material II-1 is produced by adding smoking substances during the pulping process, such as glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol, diethylene glycol, xylitol, erythritol, hexahexyl alcohol, glycerides, stearic acid or hexadecane, and sucrose fatty acid esters. These substances not only give the material II-1 sheet a certain degree of stickiness to facilitate the adhesion of flavoring particles, but also produce a smoking effect when heated. The flavoring particles or powder adhere to the inner surface of the tobacco or non-tobacco material II-1. The tobacco or non-tobacco material II-1... Rolled to the other end to form a solid cylinder II-1; in this method, the flavoring particles or powder adhere to the surface of the thin sheet and are not easy to fall off; the smoke output and aroma persistence of the smoke generator with this structure are better than those without flavoring particles or powder. When the smoke generator is heated, the thin sheet material of the smoke generator produces smoke, and at the same time, the flavoring particles or powder adhering to the surface of the thin sheet are also heated to produce smoke and aroma. Obviously, the amount of smoke is large enough, the aroma is more intense, the number of puffs is more, the taste is better, and the experience is better; and the aroma type of the flavoring particles or powder can be changed as needed, which increases the richness of the aroma and improves the experience.

[0027] Furthermore, the tobacco or non-tobacco material II-2 is in the form of a thin sheet, which is impregnated with a flavoring liquid, and the tobacco or non-tobacco material II-2 is rolled from one end to the other to form a solid tube II-2.

[0028] Furthermore, the tobacco or non-tobacco material II-3 is in sheet form, with at least one or more flavoring threads laid on its inner surface during rolling. The flavoring threads are impregnated with flavoring liquid, and the tobacco or non-tobacco material II-3 is rolled from one end to the other to form a solid tube II-3.

[0029] Furthermore, the tobacco or non-tobacco material II-4 is in the form of a thin sheet, which is rolled into a hollow cylinder II-4, and the cylinder II-4 is filled with flavoring particles or flavoring powder; the first and last ends of the cylinder II-4 are in contact with the smoke-generating body, flavoring body or filter body.

[0030] Furthermore, the tobacco or non-tobacco material II-5 is in sheet form, which is rolled to form a hollow cylinder II-5.

[0031] Furthermore, the tobacco or non-tobacco material II-6 is in sheet form, and the tobacco or non-tobacco material II-6 is rolled from one end to the other to form a solid cylinder II-6.

[0032] Furthermore, the number of flavor enhancer I, flavor enhancer II, flavor enhancer III, flavor enhancer IV, flavor enhancer V, or flavor enhancer VI is N, where N≥1; that is, the preferred types of flavor enhancers are the above six, and their order is not limited, nor is the quantity of each type limited. For example, the quantity of one, two, or three types can be set to 1, 2, 3, or 4. Flavor enhancers of the same type can be arranged adjacently, or different types of flavor enhancers can be arranged alternately. When alternating, the quantity of the same type is not limited. The selection of their structure, the setting of their quantity, and the design of their order can all be adjusted according to the actual application, the actual smoke output, and the intensity of the aroma. They can also be adjusted according to the structure of the heater used in conjunction with the product. For example, different flavor enhancer structures produce different amounts of smoke and aroma concentrations, and are suitable for different smoke generation temperatures. The quantity and order can be designed according to the continuity of the overall smoke output and the persistence of the aroma of the smoke-generating product.

[0033] Furthermore, the flavoring granules or powders are selected from tobacco granules or powders, mint granules or powders, woody granules or powders, fruit granules or powders, traditional Chinese medicine granules or powders, floral granules or powders, or multi-flavor compound granules or powders; the flavoring granules or powders can be selected according to actual needs.

[0036] Furthermore, a flavor capsule is embedded in the filter body; the flavor capsule can further provide fragrance to the smoke-generating body, and is generally broken by external force during inhalation to release the fragrance.

[0037] Furthermore, the filter body includes a one-section structure, a two-section structure, or a three-section structure; the one-section structure includes a solid column, a hollow column, or a semi-hollow column; the two-section structure includes a combination of any two of the following: a hollow column, a solid column, or a hollow column; the three-section structure includes at least two of the following: a hollow column, a solid column, or a hollow column, combined in a three-section configuration; the structure of the filter body can be selected and combined according to actual conditions.

[0038] Furthermore, a fragrance capsule is embedded in the solid column of the filter body, and the fragrance capsule contains fragrance or flavoring.

[0039] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the hollow part of the hollow column can be circular, elliptical, square, regular hexagonal, heart-shaped, pentagonal, or annular; in order to further reduce suction resistance and improve aesthetics, the filter structure can be set as a hollow structure, and further designed as a central control structure with a certain shape.

[0040] Furthermore, the smoke-generating body is wrapped in the first packaging material along its circumference to form a first column; the flavor-enhancing body is wrapped in the second packaging material along its circumference to form a second column; and the filter body is wrapped in the third packaging material along its circumference to form a third column; the first column, the second column, and the third column are sequentially bonded and fixed to different positions on the inner wall of the outer packaging material through their respective outer wall surfaces.

[0041] Furthermore, the first packaging material includes white paper, tin foil, or aluminum foil; the second and third packaging materials are both white paper; the outer packaging material is a single layer of white paper or a rigid paper tube made of multiple layers of white paper, or greaseproof paper, or special tobacco paper, or a polymer film; the outer packaging material is coated with flavoring liquid; the aforementioned inner or outer packaging paper are all commonly used tobacco materials in this field and can be selected for use.

[0042] Furthermore, the filter material includes plant polysaccharide aerogel, cellulose acetate, polypropylene, polylactic acid, paper, or sponge.

[0043] Furthermore, the connection methods of the smoke-generating body, the flavor-enhancing body, and the filter body include two types;

[0044] The first type: the downstream end of the smoke-generating body is adjacent to the upstream end of the flavor-enhancing body, the downstream end of the flavor-enhancing body is adjacent to the upstream end of the filter body, and the downstream end of the filter body is the inhalation end;

[0045] The second type is where the downstream end of the flavor enhancer is adjacent to the upstream end of the smoke generator, the downstream end of the smoke generator is adjacent to the upstream end of the filter, and the downstream end of the filter is the suction end.

[0046] The above two combinations indicate that the order of the smoke-generating body and the flavor-enhancing body can be interchanged. Preferably, when the flavor-enhancing body is upstream of the smoke-generating body, the flavor-enhancing body needs to be equipped with a heating source.

[0047] Furthermore, the smoke-generating product includes a sealing element disposed at the top of the smoke-generating body; the sealing element is used to prevent contamination of the heating appliance and to keep the heating appliance clean.

[0048] Furthermore, when the connection method is the first type, the smoking product includes a sealing component, which is disposed at the upstream end of the smoking body; when the connection method is the second type, the smoking product includes a sealing component, which is disposed at the upstream end of the flavor enhancer.

When electromagnetic induction heating is used, materials that can sense electromagnetic waves and generate heat need to be placed in the smoke-generating body and the flavor-enhancing body; the quantity and content of the aforementioned metal sheets, metal wires, and metal particles are not limited, and the specific amount used can be determined according to the actual heating effect.

[0050] Furthermore, at least one of the following components—the smoke-generating body, flavor-enhancing body I, flavor-enhancing body II, flavor-enhancing body III, flavor-enhancing body IV, flavor-enhancing body V, and flavor-enhancing body VI—contains a flavor capsule. When a flavor capsule is added to the smoke-generating and flavor-enhancing structure, the amount of aroma produced and the intensity of the aroma can be further increased. Moreover, the aroma of the flavor-enhancing particles, powders, capsules, or threads contained in the smoke-generating body and flavor-enhancing body can be the same or different, and the aroma content and aroma type of each segment can be adjusted according to the actual smoking effect.

[0051] Furthermore, the density of the flavor enhancer is less than the density of the smoke-generating body.

[0052] Furthermore, at least one of the smoke-generating body, flavor enhancer I, flavor enhancer II, flavor enhancer IV, flavor enhancer V, and flavor enhancer VI has a flavor enhancer line inside; adding a flavor enhancer line to the smoke-generating and flavor-enhancing structure can increase the aroma concentration and improve the taste.

[0053] Furthermore, 1≤N1≤3; considering the limitation of the overall length of the smoking product, usually in addition to the two sections of the smoking body and the filter, 1-3 more sections can be added in the middle to further increase the amount of smoke produced, improve the aroma intensity, and reduce the smoke concentration.

[0084] When the multi-stage series continuous smoke-generating and compound aroma-enhancing smoking product of the present invention is used in conjunction with a heater, the following effects can be achieved: as the amount of smoke produced by the first stage structure gradually decreases and the aroma gradually fades, the second stage structure can continue to generate smoke and enhance aroma, providing a larger amount of smoke and a richer aroma. When the amount of smoke produced and the aroma of the second stage structure gradually decrease and fade, the third stage structure can continue to generate smoke and enhance aroma, providing a larger amount of smoke and a richer aroma... and so on, generating smoke and enhancing aroma in succession. Theoretically, the more aroma-enhancing stages there are, the more continuous the smoke production can be achieved, resulting in a continuous supply of smoke, a long-lasting aroma, a good taste, and a longer smoking time.

[0089] The heating unit includes a heating device and a heating chamber. The heating chamber is used to contain a smoking product. The heating device is located around the heating chamber and is used to heat the smoking product contained in the heating chamber. The heating unit includes multiple heating sub-units, which are arranged sequentially around the heating chamber along its axial direction.

[0090] The heating mode button is electrically connected to the control unit, and the control unit is electrically connected to the heating unit. The heating mode is used to select the heating mode, and the control unit is used to control the number of heating subunits to be started, the start-up order, the heating time, and the heating temperature according to the selected heating mode.

[0091] Other functions of the control unit of the present invention, such as controlling the display screen, remote control, and sounding prompts for light changes, are conventional designs.

[0092] The main innovation of the heating device of the present invention lies in the design of the number, sequence and time of activation of each heating sub-unit. It can be used in conjunction with the multi-stage series continuous smoke generation and compound aroma enhancement of the present invention, thereby achieving the effect of continuous smoke generation and compound aroma enhancement of the smoke generation product of the present invention.

[0093] Furthermore, the heating method of the heating subunit is selected from one or more of resistance heating, electromagnetic induction heating, infrared heating, microwave heating, light heating, and heating from the outside with hot air; preferably, electromagnetic induction heating. All of the above-mentioned heating principles, heating equipment, and their arrangement are existing technologies, and those skilled in the art can select them according to actual needs.

[0094] Furthermore, depending on the heating method used, different heating devices are installed outside the heating cavity. For example, when electromagnetic heating is used, the heating device is an induction coil, which is spirally wound around the outer wall of the heating cavity; when infrared heating is used, the heating device is an infrared emitter, which is installed outside the heating cavity.

[0095] For example, the working principle of electromagnetic heating is to use a high-frequency, high-voltage current that changes rapidly and passes through an induction coil to generate a changing alternating magnetic field. This alternating magnetic field cuts through the alternating magnetic lines of force, inducing eddy currents in the metal inductor, thereby generating heat. The advantages of electromagnetic heating include rapid heating, high heat utilization, and no need for cleaning of the heating equipment.

[0096] Infrared heating works by emitting infrared rays that are absorbed by the tobacco cartridge to heat the tobacco. The basic principle of infrared heating is that when the wavelength of the emitted infrared rays matches the absorption wavelength of the object being heated, the object absorbs the infrared rays, causing the molecules and atoms inside the object to resonate, thereby generating strong vibrations and rotations, which raises the temperature of the object.

[0097] Furthermore, the heating device also includes a pressure sensor or an infrared sensor. The pressure sensor is located at the bottom of the heating chamber and is used to automatically start the heating device when it senses the pressure of the smoking product inserted into the bottom of the heating chamber. The infrared sensor is located at the top of the heating chamber and is used to automatically start the heating device when it senses the pressure of the smoking product inserted into the heating chamber from the top inlet.

[0098] Furthermore, the button also includes a power switch for starting and stopping the heating process.

[0099] Furthermore, the arrangement of multiple heating sub-units outside the heating chamber is relative to the positions of the smoke-generating body, flavoring body, and filter body of the smoking product inside the heating chamber; that is, the smoke-generating body of the smoking product is inside the heating chamber, while the heating device is set outside the heating chamber. The heating range of this heating device is only applicable to heating the position where the smoke-generating body is located. Similarly, each segment of the flavoring body is inside the heating chamber, while the heating device is set outside the heating chamber position corresponding to the flavoring body. This heating device is only applicable to heating the heating chamber position where different segments of the flavoring body are located.

[0100] Furthermore, the heating mode includes at least one of Mode I, Mode II, and Mode III; wherein the smoke-generating body and the multi-segment flavoring body are used as the heated body;

[0101] Mode I: Multiple heating subunits start simultaneously, heating multiple heated objects at the same time; preferably, the heating temperatures are the same or different, and the heating times are the same or different; in this heating mode, all heated objects produce smoke and aroma at basically the same time. Depending on the structure of the smoke-generating body or aroma-enhancing section, some may have a long duration of smoke production, while others may have a short duration, thus achieving a multi-stage continuous smoke production and aroma enhancement effect.

[0102] Mode II: After one heating subunit finishes heating one object, another heating subunit starts to heat another object; preferably, the heating temperature is the same or different, and the heating time is the same or different; in this heating mode, after the smoke and aroma of the previous heated object stops, the smoke and aroma of the next heated object start again, which will also achieve the effect of continuous smoke production and aroma enhancement.

[0103] Mode III: One heating subunit heats one heated object. Before the preset heating time of one heated object ends, another heating subunit starts to heat another heated object. When the preset heating time of one heated object ends, the preset heating time of the other heated object either ends or does not end. Preferably, the heating temperatures are the same or different, and the preset heating times are the same or different. Since different heated objects have different structures, the amount of smoke and aroma produced varies. In this heating mode, the smoke-generating body can produce a large amount of smoke and aroma, and the aroma-enhancing section can also produce a large amount of smoke and / or aroma. Moreover, the aroma-enhancing sections with different structures have different effects on smoke production and aroma. Therefore, the heating time and heating temperature of multiple heating subunits can be set according to the specific structure of the smoking product. The heating time can be controlled by adjusting the temperature or heating sequence. For example, by controlling the heating time, when the remaining time of the heating subunit corresponding to the previous section of the heated body is one-third or one-quarter, the amount of smoke and the aroma concentration of the heated body in that section are also decreasing. At this time, the heating subunit corresponding to the next section of the heated body starts heating, and the second section of the heated body continues to produce smoke. In the initial stage of heating, the amount of smoke and aroma gradually increase. Under this state, there is an overlapping and incremental effect with the remaining amount of smoke and aroma of the previous section. From the taste perspective, the smoked product is producing smoke and aroma at a relatively stable rate, and the amount of smoke and aroma do not decrease or fade over time. Similarly, after the second heating process has been going on for a period of time, the third section can be started, which can also form a multi-stage continuous smoke and aroma production effect.

[0104] Furthermore, the number of heating sub-units is the same as the number of heated objects and they correspond one-to-one; the heating method of each heating sub-unit can be the same or different.

[0105] Furthermore, when using the smoking system, the smoking product is inserted into the heating chamber, the switch button is turned on, the mode is selected, and the heating device automatically heats the smoking product to produce smoke and aroma, which the user then inhales from one end of the filter.

[0106] Furthermore, the smoking article of the present invention is also applicable to resistance heating, that is, the smoking article is inserted into the heating needle of the heater base and heated to produce smoke by resistance heating.

[0107] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0108] The multi-stage series-connected continuous smoke-generating and aroma-enhancing smoking product provided by this invention can produce smoke or provide aroma in each segment. Through the relay-style smoke generation and aroma enhancement of each segment, a relatively continuous and stable smoke generation and aroma enhancement effect is formed, extending the smoking time and providing a better taste. Furthermore, due to the increased smoke production and extended smoking time, this smoking product has a longer service life. It makes full use of the filter material, avoiding the problem of discarding the smoke after a few puffs, thus avoiding the waste of materials. It also indirectly reduces the amount of filter material used, thereby saving costs and benefiting environmental protection.

[0109] The multi-stage series heating system provided by this invention sets different heating times, heating temperatures, and heating sequences for different heating sub-units according to the smoke production and aroma of different structural sections of the smoking product, and matches the settings to achieve the purpose of continuous and large-volume smoke production, aroma production, and compound aroma enhancement of the smoking product, thereby further improving the taste of the smoking product. The system is simple to operate and easy to carry. Attached Figure Description

[0226] A smoke-generating system includes a heating device and a smoke-generating product; the smoke-generating product is the multi-stage series continuous smoke-generating and aroma-enhancing product of Embodiment 14 or Embodiment 15 above; as shown in Figure 17, the heating device includes a control unit 23, a power supply unit 24, a heating unit, a housing enclosing each unit, and a switch button and a mode button on the housing; the control unit, heating unit, and buttons are all electrically connected to the power supply unit; the mode button is used to select the heating mode; the heating unit includes a heating device 22 and a heating chamber 21, the heating chamber is used to accommodate the smoke-generating product, the heating device is an electromagnetic induction coil, the coil is spirally wound around the outside of the heating chamber, and after being energized, it generates an alternating magnetic field in the heating chamber area, the metal sheet (e.g., steel sheet) in the smoke-generating body is located in the magnetic field, the metal sheet generates heat under the action of the magnetic field, and then can heat the smoke-generating body or the aroma-enhancing body (the electromagnetic coil heating principle is prior art); wherein, the heating device includes multiple heating sub-devices, the multiple heating sub-devices are sequentially wound around the outside of the heating chamber along the axial direction of the heating chamber; the control unit is used to control the number of heating sub-units to be started, the starting sequence, the heating time, and the heating temperature.

[0227] As a preferred embodiment of the above, the heating method of the heating subunit can be one or more of the following, in addition to electromagnetic induction heating: resistance heating, infrared heating, microwave heating, light heating, and heating from the outside with hot air. Electromagnetic induction heating is preferred. The switch button is used to start the heating process, stop the heating process, and select the heating mode. The arrangement of the multiple heating subunits outside the heating cavity is relative to the positions of the smoke-generating body, flavor enhancer, and filter body of the smoking product inside the heating cavity. Preferably, the number of heating subunits is the same as the total number of smoke-generating bodies and flavor enhancers.

[0228] The heating modes include Mode I, Mode II, and Mode III; the heated body is a smoke-generating body or a multi-segment flavoring body.

[0229] Mode I: Multiple heating subunits are started simultaneously to heat multiple objects at the same time; preferably, the heating temperatures are the same or different, and the heating times are the same or different.

[0230] Mode II: After one heating subunit finishes heating one object, another heating subunit starts to heat another object; preferably, the heating temperatures are the same or different, and the heating times are the same or different.

[0231] Mode III: One heating subunit heats one object. Before the preset heating time of one object ends, another heating subunit starts to heat another object. When the preset heating time of one object ends, the preset heating time of the other object ends or does not end. Preferably, the heating temperatures are the same or different, and the preset heating times are the same or different. When using the heating system, the smoking product is inserted into the heating chamber, the switch button is turned on, the heating mode is selected, and the heating device heats the smoking product to produce smoke and aroma. The smoker inhales from one end of the filter. Mode III is preferred for its best effect in multi-stage series continuous smoke and aroma enhancement.

[0232] Comparative Example 3

[0233] A traditional smoke-generating system includes a smoke-generating product and a heating device; the smoke-generating product is Comparative Example 1 or Comparative Example 2; the heating device is an insert type, which is equipped with a heating chamber, with a heating wire wound around the heating chamber, and a metal heating needle or heating plate fixed to the base of the heating chamber; in use, the smoke-generating product is inserted into the heating needle or heating plate, and the heating needle or heating plate heats the smoke-generating product to produce smoke.

[0234] The heating element or heating needle is easily damaged by external force when the above heating device is inserted, and after long-term use, it is easy to leave dirt such as soot on the base of the heating needle, which is difficult to clean and inconvenient to use.

[0235] The smoking products in Comparative Example 1 or Comparative Example 2 mainly rely on the smoke-generating body to produce smoke. When the smoke-generating body material is exhausted, the tobacco cartridge is discarded. Furthermore, the amount of smoke gradually decreases from the smoke-generating body to the filter body, resulting in a poor taste. Therefore, traditional smoking products have a short duration of smoke and aroma, a weak taste, and a poor smoking experience. As a result, the filter body and intermediate section materials are wasted in large quantities, increasing production costs.

[0236] The following is a verification of the smoking experience of Examples 1-32 and Comparative Examples 1-3 of the present invention.

[0237] Two hundred tobacco enthusiasts, production workers, and R&D experts in the field were invited to evaluate the smoke-generating products of Examples 1-32 and Comparative Examples 1-2 using the smoke-generating device described above. The main experimental comparisons were made in terms of smoke production, smoke duration, and number of puffs. The feedback results are shown in Table 1.

[0238] Experimental conditions: A simulated circulating smoke machine was used, with ISO suction mode; suction volume was 35 mL, suction frequency was 60 seconds / cycle, and suction duration was 2 seconds; the smoke emitted by the smoking product is actually an aerosol, which is a suspension of fine liquid or solid particles in the gas; the smoke inhaled through the circulating smoke machine was diluted and then entered a rapid particle size analyzer to detect changes in the aerosol concentration in the smoke to infer the size and persistence of the smoke. The detection results are shown in Table 2.

[0239] Table 1 Sensory Quality Evaluation Survey of Smoke Products from Examples 1-32 and Comparative Examples 1-2 Note: Scores for each characteristic are represented by numbers.

[0240] 1-2 Poor, 2-3 Poor, 3-4 Poor-Good, 4-5 Good, 5-6 Good-Excellent, 6-7 Excellent, 7-8 Excellent+, 8-9 Excellent++, 9-10 Best; Aroma-Hot-Mouth Characteristics: The larger the number, the better the quality; the smaller the number, the worse the quality.

[0241] Pull resistance: The larger the number, the smaller the pull resistance, and vice versa.

[0242] Complexity: The number represents the number of individuals that can produce smoke and enhance flavor.

[0243] Table 2. Smoke Detection Data of Examples 1-32 and Comparative Examples 1-2

[0244] By testing the actual number of puffs, Examples 1-32 had approximately 15-20 puffs each, with the higher the degree of complexity, the more puffs were produced. Comparative Examples 1 and 2, with their conventional smoke-generating bodies, had 10-12 puffs each. Clearly, Examples 1-32 of this invention can increase the number of puffs by incorporating more smoke-generating and flavor-enhancing bodies. Furthermore, in terms of flavor, the same aroma can be applied to different smoke-generating and flavor-enhancing bodies to enhance the aroma, or different flavors can be applied to different smoke-generating and flavor-enhancing bodies to achieve a complex blend of flavors, thus satisfying the need for a single smoke-generating product to offer a variety of aromas.

[0245] Regarding the duration of smoke generation and aroma enhancement, Examples 1-32 of the present invention can maintain smoke generation and aroma enhancement for 30-40 seconds; while Comparative Examples 1 and 2 have a smoke generation duration of approximately 20-30 seconds; the smoke generation duration of the embodiments of the present invention is approximately 1.5-2 times that of conventional smoke products.

[0246] As can be seen from the test results in Table 2, within 10 puffs, the smoke and aroma concentrations of the smoking products of Examples 1-32 of the present invention are relatively high and can be maintained within a certain range. In contrast, the smoke and aroma concentrations of the smoking products of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 gradually decrease within 10 puffs with a clear trend, indicating that their smoke-generating materials are consumed quickly, resulting in weak smoke and failing to achieve the purpose of continuous smoke generation and complex aroma enhancement. In contrast, the present invention, through its design incorporating multiple stages of smoke generation and aroma-enhancing materials, and considering the synergistic effect of draw resistance and continuous smoke generation and aroma enhancement, enables the smoking products of the present invention to achieve continuous smoke generation, aroma enhancement, and a superior taste.

[0247] Any aspects not covered in the embodiments of this invention can be selected from the prior art by those skilled in the art.

[0248] The above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the above claims.
