Cigarette Core Material Low-Temperature Heating and Direct Ignition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current low-temperature heating cigarette products cannot be directly ignited for smoking, lacking a tobacco core material that provides a good sensory experience when heated or ignited.
Innovation Solution
A cigarette core material comprising 50-95% slice shreds and 5-50% cut tobacco, prepared by mixing tobacco refined extracts, flavors, and smoke additives with tobacco film bases and cut tobacco, allowing for both low-temperature heating and direct ignition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If 100% slice shreds are used in the tobacco core material, then low-temperature heating performance is improved, but direct ignition capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines slice shreds (50-95% by weight) with cut tobacco (5-50% by weight) in a specific ratio to create a composite tobacco core material that merges the low-temperature heating advantages of slice shreds with the direct ignition capabilities of cut tobacco, resolving the contradiction between optimized heating performance and ignition versatility
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses a composite material structure consisting of two distinct tobacco forms (slice shreds and cut tobacco) with different physical and chemical properties, where slice shreds provide low-temperature heating characteristics and cut tobacco provides ignition capability, achieving both functions simultaneously in one material system
2Quantity of substance
If slice shreds are used for low-temperature heating, then nicotine release is improved, but sensory experience deteriorates when directly ignited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different functional roles to different components within the tobacco core material: slice shreds are optimized for nicotine release during low-temperature heating, while cut tobacco is optimized for sensory quality during direct ignition, allowing each component to excel in its specific function rather than requiring a single material to perform all functions equally
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

AI summary
A cigarette core material capable of being ignited and heated at low temperature for smoking includes 50-95% of slice shreds and 5-50% of cut tobacco by weight percentage. The slice shreds include 40-55% of tobacco film bases, 15-25% of tobacco refined extracts, 0-5% of flavors and fragrances, and 15-30% of smoke additives by weight percentage. The cigarette core material is prepared by mixing the slice shreds with the cut tobacco in a reasonable ratio. The cigarette core material provided by the present invention is able to be heated at low temperature for smoking, and be directly ignited for smoking while the smoking set is out of power, both of which have high-quality sensory experience and can maximize the applicability of cigarette cores. The present invention is a co-product of traditional tobacco and new tobacco. It is also a new product of new market segmentation in the international market.
