DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The following description is one of many aspects of the claimed invention and the following description forms part of a detailed description of the present invention.

In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail for the sake of clarity and conciseness.

1 is a view showing a schematic shape of a cigarette according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1, the cigarette 1 includes a cigarette 1, a filter 20 connected to the rear end of each cigarette 10, A cigarette paper 11 surrounding the cigarette holder 10 and a filter wrapper 21 surrounding the rear end of the cigarette packs 10 and the filter unit 20. In addition, the fragrance capsule 30 can be received in the filter unit 20. [

With this configuration, the user can take the fragrance of the perfume contained in the perfume capsule 30 when using the cigarette 1 by opening the perfume capsule 30.

For example, in the case of the cigarette 1 having the structure in which the incense capsule 30 containing the menthol perfume is housed in the filter portion 20, when the user uses the incense capsule 30 when using the cigarette 1, You can smoke with incense.

However, when the incense capsule 30 is tapped, the incense capsule 30 must be burst well depending on the strength of the force, and the incense capsule 30 should not burst when the external force is not applied. The incense capsule 30 includes a perfume liquid and a membrane material surrounding the perfume liquid.

Hereinafter, the fragrance capsule production apparatus and the fragrance capsule production method will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a method for manufacturing an anti-capsule of a cigarette according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing in more detail the flowchart of FIG. 2, Fig. 1 is a view showing a configuration of a fragrance capsule producing apparatus for producing a fragrance capsule.

2 and 4, a method of manufacturing an incense capsule of a cigarette 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of (1) preparing a membrane material 111 by a membrane material manufacturing unit A capsule manufacturing step S200 for manufacturing a perfume capsule 101 using a perfume liquid 121 contained in a membrane material 111 and a membrane material 111 by using the incense capsule manufacturing apparatus 100; A curing step S300 for primarily curing the incense capsule 101, a drying step S400 for drying the cured incense capsule 101 and a curing step S400 for further curing the dried incense capsule 101, Step S500, cleaning step S600, and packaging step S700.

With this configuration, a reliable incense capsule 101 can be manufactured, and the efficiency of the manufacturing process can be improved.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the membrane producing step S100 of the present embodiment is a process for manufacturing a membrane material that surrounds the perfume liquid 121, (S120) for forming a membrane material (111) by dissolving the components constituting the membrane material (111), and a viscosity measuring step (S120) for measuring the viscosity of the membrane material (111) A measurement step S130 and a sheet material conveying step S140 for conveying the sheet material 111 to the sheet material tank 110. [

In the weighing step (S110) of this embodiment, a precise weighing system capable of precisely weighing the amount of each component can be used.

In the film formation step S120, the film material 111 can be formed by the film material production unit. Although not shown in the drawings, the membrane producing section of the present embodiment includes a membrane material manufacturing container, a pouch which is connected to the connecting line to provide hot water to the membrane material manufacturing container, a hot water boiler for heating hot water, .

The components constituting the membrane 111 to be weighed in the weighing step S110 of this embodiment are Agar, Pectin and Sodium alginate, and glycerin as a plasticizer can be weighed .

As to the role of each compounding ingredient, the agar first acts as a curing agent according to the temperature, so that the shape of the capsule 101 at the initial stage of molding can be formed. Pectin serves as an intermediate regulator of agar and sodium alginate and forms an initial shape of the incense capsule 101 by acting on the degree of catabolism of the agar and the calcium ion bond of sodium alginate and improves the stability and hygroscopicity, It plays a role.

Sodium alginate serves to control the strength of the incense capsule 101 to form a film, and also to improve the hygroscopicity stability by ionic hardening.

Glycerin serves as a plasticizer to improve the moldability of the fragrance capsule 101 and to impart elasticity to the fragrance capsule 101. However, the larger the amount of glycerin is, the higher the elasticity of the incense capsule 101 is. However, the glycerin itself is highly hygroscopic and the hygroscopicity stability may be deteriorated in the long term. Conversely, when the amount of glycerin is small, the elasticity of the incense capsule 101 is small It can be easily broken by external factors. It is therefore important to combine appropriate amounts of glycerin.

Table 1 below shows the weight ratios and the like of the above-mentioned components.

In the case of this embodiment, when the distilled water has a weight ratio of 90% (5% correction), the weight ratio of agar is 1.5 to 3.5%, the weight ratio of glycerin is 2.0 to 10.0% 3%, and the weight ratio of the sodium alginate may be 0.2 to 0.7%.

In the film forming step (S120) of this embodiment, hot water heated to 85-100 deg. C, preferably 88 deg. C by a hot water boiler is supplied to the film production vessel and agar is added to dissolve the agar in hot water. At this time, when the baby is put all at once, it may be united and it may not be released, so you can put the baby slowly and use a mixer or the like to help release the baby from the hot water. When the agitation is completed, the paddles positioned in the membrane production vessel can be operated, for example, at 90 rpm, and the temperature of the membrane production vessel can be monitored at this time.

When the temperature of the membrane production container drops to, for example, 85 deg. C, glycerin is passed through the agar-dissolved hot water, and when the temperature falls to 83 deg. C, pectin is added to dissolve in hot water. For example, if the temperature of the film production container drops to 78 캜 after a predetermined time, for example, 10 minutes, from the introduction of pectin, sodium alginate is dissolved in warm water. Subsequently, as described in the above table, a dye 111 such as a blue No. 1 or a Red No. 40 can be added to warm water.

The viscosity measuring step S130 of this embodiment is a step for confirming whether the film material 111 produced by the film material forming step S120 is within the set range. At this time, the viscosity of the membrane 111 can be measured using a viscosity meter or the like. For example, if the viscosity of the membrane 111 is set in the range of 400 to 700 pcs, preferably 500 to 650 pcs, the viscosity of the final product may be deteriorated. The viscosity measurement can be carried out for 1 minute under constant temperature conditions, for example, 3 spindles, 100 rpm, and 65 ° C. However, the conditions of the viscosity measurement are not limited thereto.

In addition, there are a number of factors that can cause viscosity change of the membrane 111. For example, when the membrane 111 content is increased, the viscosity of the membrane 111 is increased. When the membrane 111 content is decreased, the viscosity of the membrane 111 may be lowered. Also, if the dissolution temperature is lower than the proper temperature due to the presence of the proper temperature for dissolving the components constituting the membrane 111 and the dissolution is not completed or the polymer structure is broken due to a temperature higher than the proper temperature, the viscosity is lowered, . In addition, when the temperature of the membrane production vessel is not maintained constant, a viscosity change may occur.

When the membrane 111 has a low viscosity due to the above factors, pulsation may occur in the pump and the stability of the incense capsule 101 may be problematic. On the contrary, when the membrane 111 has a high viscosity, a change in viscosity is relatively generated with time, which may cause problems in moldability and productivity. When the viscosity of the membrane 111 is outside the set range, the membrane 111 must be newly manufactured in accordance with the viscosity standard after disposal, so that the precise adjustment of the component weight of the membrane 111, Should be done.

The membrane transfer step S140 of the present embodiment is a step of transferring the membrane material 111 finished to viscosity measurement to the membrane tank 110 provided in the incense capsule production apparatus 100 of the present embodiment.
