Description

Aerosol generating article

[0001] The present invention relates to an aerosol generating article.

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a non-combustion heating type aerosol generating article in which an aerosol forming substrate 2, an upstream filter element 4, a tubular spacer element 6, and a downstream filter element 5 are axially coupled in this order. The tubular spacer element 6 and the upstream filter element 4 are wrapped by a wrapper 3, and the tubular spacer element 6 and the downstream filter element 5 are wrapped by a tip paper 7. In the tubular spacer element 6, an overlapping region where the wrapper 3 and the tip paper 7 overlap is formed. A plurality of ventilation holes 13b communicating with the hollow portion of the tubular spacer element 6 are formed in this overlapping region (see, for example, FIG. 1 of the publication).

[0003] International Publication No. 2020 / 089091

[0004] The ventilation holes of the aerosol generating article are generally formed by irradiating a laser to open holes. When forming ventilation holes in the overlapping region between the wrapper 3 and the tip paper 7, the two papers existing in the overlapping region are penetrated through by laser irradiation at once. In this case, it may be difficult to form ventilation holes of a desired shape. Therefore, it is required to improve the quality of the aerosol generating article by making it possible to form ventilation holes of a desired shape.

[0005] Further, when forming ventilation holes in the overlapping region between the wrapper 3 and the tip paper 7, the ash of the paper generated when the paper is burned through by laser irradiation corresponds to the amount of two papers. Therefore, compared with the case of burning through one paper to open a hole, the degree of contamination of the manufacturing apparatus of the aerosol generating article by the ash increases, and the number of cleanings of the manufacturing apparatus increases.

[0006] Furthermore, in the overlapping area between the wrapper 3 and the chip paper 7, adhesive is applied to both the wrapper 3 and the chip paper 7. As a result, compared to the case where a single sheet of paper is burned to create a hole, the amount of volatilization of adhesive components due to laser irradiation heat increases, and the ventilation of the manufacturing equipment must be controlled more strictly than before. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the productivity of aerosol products by reducing the cleaning frequency of the manufacturing equipment and the safety management costs.

[0007] This invention has been made in view of the above problems, and aims to provide an aerosol product having two chip papers that can improve productivity and quality.

[0008] To achieve the above objective, an aerosol product according to one embodiment is formed by connecting a tip segment, an aerosol generation segment, a cooling segment, and a mouthpiece segment along the axial direction in order from upstream to downstream in a breathable manner, and comprises a first tip paper that wraps the upstream segment, which consists of the tip segment and the aerosol generation segment, via an adhesive, and a second tip paper that wraps the downstream segment, which consists of the cooling segment and the mouthpiece segment, via an adhesive, wherein the first tip paper has a first wrap region for wrapping the cooling segment, and the second tip paper has a second wrap region for wrapping the cooling segment and a breathable region for introducing outside air into the inside of the cooling segment, the second wrap region has a first non-adhesive region that does not overlap with the first wrap region and is not coated with adhesive, and the breathable region is formed in the first non-adhesive region.

[0009] According to the above embodiment, the productivity and quality of an aerosol product having two chip papers can be improved.

[0010] This is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the aerosol product. This is a perspective view of the aerosol product with the first and second chip papers partially peeled off. These are plan views of the first and second chip papers. This is a transverse cross-sectional view of the cooling segment viewed from direction A-A in Figure 1. This is a transverse cross-sectional view of the cooling segment viewed from direction B-B in Figure 1. This is a transverse cross-sectional view of the aerosol generation segment viewed from direction C-C in Figure 1. This is a transverse cross-sectional view of the tip segment viewed from direction D-D in Figure 1.

[0011] Hereinafter, an aerosol product according to one embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 shows a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the aerosol product 1 (hereinafter also simply referred to as article 1). Article 1 is a non-combustion heating type stick, in which a tip segment 2, an aerosol generation segment 4, a cooling segment 6, and a mouthpiece segment 8 are connected in this order along the axial direction X so as to allow air to pass from the upstream side to the downstream side.

[0012] Article 1 is divided into an upstream segment 10 consisting of a tip segment 2 and an aerosol generation segment 4, and a downstream segment 12 consisting of a cooling segment 6 and a mouthpiece segment 8. The upstream segment 10 is wrapped with a first tip paper 14 via adhesive. The downstream segment 12 is wrapped with a second tip paper 16 via adhesive.

[0013] The tip segment 2 is formed by wrapping a rod-shaped filler 18 with a wrapper 20. The tip segment 2 covers the upstream end of the aerosol generating segment 4, thereby preventing the filler 22, described later, which is filled into the aerosol generating segment 4, from spilling out from the upstream end. The filler 18 can be made from paper, plastic film, cellulose acetate, or nonwoven fabric.

[0014] The filling material 18 may be made from shredded tobacco sheets, tobacco sheets folded in a gathered shape, sheets made from non-tobacco plants such as tobacco pulp and to which flavorings have been added, shredded said sheets, or said sheets folded in a gathered shape. The filling material 18 may also be a filter material such as cellulose acetate. The material of the wrapper 20 is not particularly limited, and known materials such as paper can be used, and may contain fillers such as calcium carbonate.

[0015] The aerosol-generating segment 4 is formed by wrapping a rod-shaped filler 22 with a wrapping paper 24. The filler 22 may be made from shredded tobacco, shredded tobacco sheets, tobacco sheets folded in a gathered shape, sheets made from non-tobacco plants such as tobacco-free pulp and to which flavorings have been added, shredded sheets, or sheets folded in a gathered shape. The wrapping paper 24 is made mainly from pulp and may contain fillers such as calcium carbonate. The wrapping paper 24 may have a coating agent added to at least a portion of its front and back surfaces and may be made from water-resistant paper, oil-resistant paper, airtight paper, or highly airtight paper.

[0016] When the user uses article 1, the aerosol generating segment 4 is heated by a heater of an electronic device (aerosol generator) not shown. This causes the components of the filler 22 to volatilize, and when the user inhales article 1 through the mouthpiece segment 8, the components of the filler 22 are guided to the cooling segment 6. The cooling segment 6 is, for example, a cylindrical paper tube formed from single or double layers of paper web, and has a hollow section 26 inside that serves as an airflow path for article 1.

[0017] Multiple ventilation holes 28 are perforated on the circumferential surface of the cooling segment 6 to introduce air into the hollow section 26 from the outside when the item 1 is inhaled. Components volatilized from the filler 22 of the aerosol generation segment 4 are cooled by the air taken in through each ventilation hole 28 in the cooling segment 6 to form an aerosol, and the user inhales the aerosol that has passed through the mouthpiece segment 8.

[0018] The mouthpiece segment 8 is formed by wrapping a rod-shaped filter material 30 with a filter wrapper 32. The filter material 30 is not particularly limited and any known material can be used; for example, cellulose acetate tow processed into a cylindrical or cylindrical shape can be used. Instead of an acetate filter, the filter material 30 may be a paper filter filled with sheet-like pulp paper or a nonwoven fabric, or it may contain a plasticizer such as triacetin.

[0019] The aerosol that passes through such a filter material 30 has impurities removed, thereby improving the taste of the article 1. The material of the filter wrapper 32 is not particularly limited, and known materials such as paper can be used, and it may contain fillers such as calcium carbonate. The filter wrapper 32 may have a coating agent added to at least a part of its front and back surfaces, and can be formed from water-resistant paper, oil-resistant paper, non-permeable paper, or highly permeable paper.

[0020] The first chip paper 14 is formed mainly from pulp and may contain fillers such as calcium carbonate. The first chip paper 14 may have a coating agent added to at least a portion of its front and back surfaces, and may be formed from water-resistant paper, oil-resistant paper, non-permeable paper, or highly permeable paper. The second chip paper 16 has the same structure as the first chip paper 14.

[0021] Figure 2 shows a perspective view of article 1 with the first chip paper 14 and the second chip paper 16 partially peeled off. In Figure 2, a portion of the wrapping paper 24 has also been peeled off. The first chip paper 14 has a first wrap region 34 that wraps the cooling segment 6, and the second chip paper 16 has a second wrap region 36 that wraps the cooling segment 6 and a ventilation region 38 for introducing outside air into the inside of the cooling segment 6, i.e., the hollow portion 26. Multiple ventilation holes 28 communicating with the hollow portion 26 are formed in the ventilation region 38 and the peripheral wall of the cooling segment 6. The first wrap region 34 and the second wrap region 36 overlap to form an overlapping wrap region 40.

[0022] Figure 3 shows plan views of the first chip paper 14 and the second chip paper 16. Figure 3 shows the first chip paper 14 and the second chip paper 16 unfolded in their width direction Y, and also shows them separated vertically to clearly indicate the overlapping overlap area 40. In Figure 3, the areas shown in grayscale are where adhesive is applied, and the boundaries of each area, described later, are shown with dashed lines. Figure 3 also shows the inner circumferential surfaces (back surfaces) 14a and 16a of the first chip paper 14 and the second chip paper 16, respectively, which are the filler side in article 1.

[0023] In this embodiment, the second wrap region 36 does not overlap with the first wrap region 34, i.e., it is not an overlapping wrap region 40, and has a first non-adhesive region 42 to which adhesive is not applied. The ventilation region 38 is formed in the first non-adhesive region 42. In Figure 3, the ventilation region 38 and the first non-adhesive region 42 are shown as the same region, but the first non-adhesive region 42 may occupy a larger area than the ventilation region 38.

[0024] Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the cooling segment 6 as seen from direction A-A in Figure 1. Note that Figure 4 shows a cross-section in the ventilation region 38 at a position away from each ventilation hole 28. The second chip paper 16 has first bonding regions 44 for bonding these ends to each other in the regions corresponding to both ends in the circumferential direction of the downstream segment 12, in other words, in the regions of the upper and lower ends of the second chip paper 16 shown in Figure 3. The aforementioned first non-bonding region 42 is formed in the region other than the first bonding region 44.

[0025] In the first bonding region 44, as shown in Figure 4, adhesive 46 is applied to the inner circumferential surface 16a at one end (upper end in Figure 3) of the second chip paper 16 in the width direction Y, and this inner circumferential surface 16a is bonded to the outer circumferential surface (surface) 16b at the other end (lower end in Figure 3) of the second chip paper 16 in the width direction Y. The first bonding region 44 is formed in a region that includes an overlapping region 48 where the inner circumferential surface 16a and the outer circumferential surface 16b of the second chip paper 16 overlap, and has a larger area than the overlapping region 48. Note that the first bonding region 44 may be formed within the range that fits within the overlapping region 48.

[0026] A fixing region 50 is formed on the inner circumferential surface 16a located in the overlapping region 48, in other words, on the lower end of the second chip paper 16 as shown in Figure 3, for bonding and fixing the second chip paper 16 to the outer circumferential surface 6a of the cooling segment 6. Adhesive 46 is applied to the fixing region 50, so that, in the first non-adhesive region 42 as well, the other end of the second chip paper 16 in the width direction Y is bonded and fixed to the cooling segment 6. As shown in Figure 3, the second chip paper 16 has a second non-adhesive region 54 that does not overlap with the first wrap region 34, is not coated with adhesive 46, and allows for the generation of a code 52 that can identify article 1 on the downstream segment 12.

[0027] Specifically, adhesive 46 is applied to the inner circumferential surface 16a of the second chip paper 16 using a glue roller (not shown). Adhesive 46 is also applied to the inner circumferential surface 14a of the first chip paper 14 using a glue roller (not shown). A groove forming the characters of the code 52 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of such a glue roller that faces the second non-adhesive region 54. By holding the adhesive 46 on the outer circumferential surface of the glue roller, the adhesive 46 penetrates into the groove. As the glue roller rotates and contacts the inner circumferential surface 16a of the second chip paper 16 to apply the adhesive 46, the adhesive 46 is partially applied in the second non-adhesive region 54 in such a way that it forms the code 52 from the groove.

[0028] The adhesive 46 that forms the code 52 applied to the inner circumferential surface 16a of the second tip paper 16 is transferred to the outer circumferential surface of the downstream segment 12, in this embodiment to the filter wrapper 32 of the mouthpiece segment 8, as the second tip paper 16 is wrapped to the downstream segment 12. This generates the code 52 on the mouthpiece segment 8. The second tip paper 16 has the first adhesive region 44 described above, but the second non-adhesive region 54 is formed in an area other than the first adhesive region 44, similar to the first non-adhesive region 42.

[0029] Figure 5 shows a cross-sectional view of the cooling segment 6 as seen from the B-B direction in Figure 1. Since the first non-adhesive region 42 and the second non-adhesive region 54 are formed in areas other than the first adhesive region 44, as shown in Figure 3, the adhesive 46 is applied to the entire circumference of the inner surface 16a of the second chip paper 16, except for the first non-adhesive region 42 and the second non-adhesive region 54, and the fifth non-adhesive region 66 and the seventh non-adhesive region 70, which will be described later.

[0030] This strengthens the wrapping of the second chip paper 16 with respect to the downstream segment 12, thereby increasing the rigidity of the downstream segment 12 and, consequently, the article 1. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 3, the first chip paper 14 has a third non-adhesive region 56 in which the adhesive 46 is not applied, at least in a region extending in the axial direction X of the aerosol generation segment 4. Specifically, the third non-adhesive region 56 is formed on the inner circumferential surface 14a of the first chip paper 14 in the entire region corresponding to the aerosol generation segment 4, excluding the second adhesive region 58 and the fixed region 62 described later. Note that the length of the third non-adhesive region 56 along the axial direction X may be greater than the length of the aerosol generation segment 4 along the axial direction X. In this case, the third non-adhesive region 56 may be formed up to a region that extends over at least one of the tip segment 2 and the cooling segment 6.

[0031] Figure 6 shows a cross-sectional view of the aerosol generation segment 4 as seen from the C-C direction in Figure 1. The first chip paper 14 has second adhesive regions 58 for bonding these two ends together in the regions corresponding to both ends in the circumferential direction of the upstream segment 10, in other words, in the regions of the upper and lower ends of the first chip paper 14 shown in Figure 3. The aforementioned third non-adhesive region 56 is formed in the region other than the second adhesive region 58.

[0032] In the second bonding region 58, adhesive 46 is applied to the inner circumferential surface 14a at one end of the first chip paper 14 in the width direction Y (upper end in Figure 3), and this inner circumferential surface 14a is bonded to the outer circumferential surface (surface) 14b at the other end of the first chip paper 14 in the width direction Y (lower end in Figure 3). The second bonding region 58 is formed in a region that includes an overlapping region 60 where the inner circumferential surface 16a and the outer circumferential surface 16b of the second chip paper 16 overlap, and has a larger area than the overlapping region 60. The second bonding region 58 may also be formed within the range that fits within the overlapping region 60.

[0033] A fixing region 62 is formed on the inner circumferential surface 14a located in the overlapping region 60, in other words, on the lower end of the first chip paper 14 shown in Figure 3, for bonding and fixing the first chip paper 14 to the outer circumferential surface 4a of the aerosol generation segment 4. Adhesive 46 is applied to the fixing region 62, so that, in the third non-adhesive region 56 as well, the other end of the first chip paper 14 in the width direction Y is bonded and fixed to the aerosol generation segment 4.

[0034] Figure 7 shows a cross-sectional view of the tip segment 2 as seen from the D-D direction in Figure 1. As also shown in Figure 3, adhesive 46 is applied to the entire circumference of the inner surface 14a of the first chip paper 14, excluding the third non-adhesive region 56 mentioned above and the fourth non-adhesive region 64 and sixth non-adhesive region 68 described later. This strengthens the wrapping of the first chip paper 14 with respect to the upstream segment 10, thereby increasing the rigidity of the upstream segment 10 and, consequently, the article 1.

[0035] In addition, as shown in Figure 3, the first tip paper 14 has a fourth non-adhesive region 64 in the area corresponding to the upstream end of the tip segment 2 where adhesive 46 is not applied. The fourth non-adhesive region 64 is formed over the entire circumference of the tip segment 2 in the circumferential direction, in other words, over the entire area in the width direction Y in Figure 3 (the same applies to the fifth to seventh non-adhesive regions 66, 68, and 70 described later). The length of the fourth non-adhesive region 64 along the axial direction X is preferably 0.5 mm to 4.0 mm. The second tip paper 16 has a fifth non-adhesive region 66 in the area corresponding to the downstream end of the mouthpiece segment 8 where adhesive 46 is not applied. The fifth non-adhesive region 66 is formed over the entire circumference of the mouthpiece segment 8 in the circumferential direction. The length of the fifth non-adhesive region 66 along the axial direction X is preferably 0.5 mm to 4.0 mm.

[0036] The first chip paper 14 has a sixth non-adhesive region 68 in the region corresponding to the downstream end of the first wrap region 34, where adhesive 46 is not applied. The sixth non-adhesive region 68 is formed over the entire circumference of the cooling segment 6 in the circumferential direction. The length of the sixth non-adhesive region 68 along the axial direction X is preferably 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm. The second chip paper 16 has a seventh non-adhesive region 70 in the region corresponding to the upstream end of the second wrap region 36, where adhesive 46 is not applied. The seventh non-adhesive region 70 is formed over the entire circumference of the cooling segment 6 in the circumferential direction. The length of the seventh non-adhesive region 70 along the axial direction X is preferably 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm.

[0037] As described above, in this embodiment, article 1 has a first wrap region 34 on the cooling segment 6 of the first chip paper 14, and a second wrap region 36 and a ventilation region 38 on the cooling segment 6 of the second chip paper 16. Furthermore, the second wrap region 36 has a first non-adhesive region 42 that does not overlap with the first wrap region 34 and to which adhesive 46 is not applied, and the ventilation region 38 is formed in the first non-adhesive region 42. As a result, when forming the ventilation region 38, only one sheet of the second chip paper 16 is processed. Therefore, a ventilation region 38 of the desired shape can be easily formed, and the quality of article 1 can be improved.

[0038] Furthermore, in forming the ventilation area 38, only the amount of paper ash from one sheet of paper is required during processing. Therefore, the degree of contamination of the manufacturing equipment for article 1 by ash is reduced, and consequently, the frequency of cleaning the manufacturing equipment can be reduced. In addition, the adhesive components do not volatilize due to the heat generated when processing the ventilation area 38 in the first non-adhesive area 42 where the adhesive 46 is not applied. As a result, it is not necessary to strictly control the ventilation of the manufacturing equipment for article 1, and the cleaning frequency and safety management costs of the manufacturing equipment for article 1 can be reduced, thereby improving the productivity of article 1.

[0039] Furthermore, the second chip paper 16 has a first adhesive region 44, and the first non-adhesive region 42 is formed in the second wrap region 36 in a region other than the first adhesive region 44. This allows for strong wrapping of the second chip paper 16 with the downstream segment 12 while forming the first non-adhesive region 42, thereby increasing the rigidity of the downstream segment 12 and, consequently, the article 1.

[0040] Furthermore, the second chip paper 16 has a second non-adhesive area 54. The second non-adhesive area 54 does not overlap with the first wrap area 34. Also, no adhesive 46 is applied to the second non-adhesive area 54. In addition, the second non-adhesive area 54 allows for the generation of a code 52 that can identify article 1 in the downstream segment 12. By generating the code 52 in the downstream segment 12 in this way, the code 52 can be seen by partially peeling off the second chip paper 16 on article 1. This allows for the construction of a traceability system for article 1 using the information of this code 52, thereby further improving the productivity of article 1.

[0041] More specifically, the first lap region 34 and the second lap region 36 form an overlapping lap region 40 that overlaps with each other. As a result, the first non-adhesive region 42 and thus the ventilation region 38 are formed in the region of the second lap region 36 that is not part of the overlapping lap region 40. Therefore, by forming the ventilation region 38 in the overlapping lap region 40, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the connection strength of each segment 2 to 8 in article 1, thereby increasing the rigidity of article 1.

[0042] Further, more specifically, the cooling segment 6 has a hollow portion 26, and the ventilation region 38 includes a plurality of ventilation holes 28 communicating with the hollow portion 26. When forming each ventilation hole 28 in the ventilation region 38 in this way, the ash generated when the second chip paper 16 is cut and perforated by laser irradiation is only the amount of one sheet of paper, and the adhesive component does not volatilize due to the laser irradiation heat when forming each ventilation hole 28. Therefore, as described above, since the cleaning frequency and safety management cost of the manufacturing apparatus of the article 1 can be reduced, the productivity of the article 1 can be improved.

[0043] Further, the first chip paper 14 has a third non-adhesive region 56 where the adhesive 46 is not applied at least in a region extending in the axial direction X of the aerosol generation segment 4. Specifically, the third non-adhesive region 56 is formed in the entire region corresponding to the aerosol generation segment 4 excluding the second adhesive region 58 and the fixing region 62 on the inner peripheral surface 14a of the first chip paper 14.

[0044] Thereby, when the aerosol generation segment 4 is heated by the heater of the electronic device, the heating of the adhesive 46 is suppressed. Therefore, the influence of the volatile components of the adhesive 46 on the taste of the article 1 can be reduced. In addition, since the heating of the adhesive 46 is suppressed in the aerosol generation segment 4, the heat capacity when heating the aerosol generation segment 4 can be reduced. Therefore, an article 1 with high heating efficiency can be realized.

[0045] Further, a fourth non-adhesive region 64 and a sixth non-adhesive region 68 are formed in the first chip paper 14, and a fifth non-adhesive region 66 and a seventh non-adhesive region 70 are formed in the second chip paper 16. Thereby, in the article 1, it is possible to prevent the adhesive 46 from protruding or leaking from both ends in the axial direction X of the first chip paper 14 and the second chip paper 16. Therefore, the quality of the article 1 can be improved.

[0046] Also, when transporting the first chip paper 14 and the second chip paper 16 coated with the adhesive 46 by the glue roller, it is possible to prevent the adhesive 46 from adhering to the positioning guides for the first chip paper 14 and the second chip paper 16 formed in the transport device (not shown). Thereby, the degree of contamination of the manufacturing apparatus of the article 1 by the adhesive 46 is reduced. Therefore, since the cleaning frequency of the manufacturing apparatus of the article 1 can be further reduced, the productivity of the article 1 can be further improved.

[0047] The description of the embodiment is finished above. However, the above embodiment is not restrictive, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the segment configuration of the article 1 and the wrapping mode of the first chip paper 14 and the second chip paper 16 are not strictly limited to the described content, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
