Description

加熱不燃燒耗材Heat not burn consumables

本揭示內容與用於吸煙替代系統中的耗材相關，且詳細而言（然而非專有地）是與包括過濾構件的加熱不燃燒（HNB）耗材相關。The present disclosure is related to consumables used in smoking replacement systems, and in detail (but not exclusively) to heat-not-burn (HNB) consumables including filter elements.

一般認為吸煙草使吸煙者暴露於潛在有害物質。一般認為，大量的潛在有害物質是藉由由煙草及煙草的煙本身中燃燒的煙草成分的燃燒及/或發火所造成的熱產生的。It is generally believed that smoking grass exposes smokers to potentially harmful substances. It is generally believed that a large amount of potentially harmful substances is generated by the heat caused by the combustion and/or ignition of tobacco components burned in tobacco and tobacco smoke itself.

常規的易燃吸煙製品（例如香煙）一般包括圓柱形的煙草桿且通常也包括圓柱形的濾嘴，該圓柱形的煙草桿包括被包裝紙環繞的煙絲，該濾嘴與包裹的煙草桿呈鄰接關係地軸向對準。濾嘴一般包括被塞套圍束的過濾材料。包裹的煙草桿及濾嘴藉由包裹的接裝紙帶接合在一起，該接裝紙帶圍束濾嘴的整個長度及包裹的煙草桿的相鄰部分。此種常規香煙是藉由點燃與濾嘴相對的端部及燃燒煙草桿來使用的。吸煙者藉由在香煙的口部端或濾嘴端進行抽吸來將主流煙接收到它們的口部中。Conventional flammable smoking articles (such as cigarettes) generally include cylindrical tobacco rods and usually also include cylindrical filters. The cylindrical tobacco rods include shredded tobacco surrounded by wrapping paper, and the filter is in shape with the wrapped tobacco rod. Aligned axially in abutting relationship. Filters generally include filter material enclosed by a plug sleeve. The wrapped tobacco rod and the filter are joined together by a wrapped tipping paper tape that encloses the entire length of the filter and the adjacent part of the wrapped tobacco rod. This conventional cigarette is used by igniting the end opposite to the filter and burning the tobacco rod. Smokers receive mainstream smoke into their mouths by smoking at the mouth end or filter end of the cigarette.

已知有機材料（例如煙草）的發火會產生焦油及其他潛在有害的副產物。已經提出了各種吸煙替代系統（或「替代吸煙系統」）以避免吸煙草。The ignition of organic materials (such as tobacco) is known to produce tar and other potentially harmful by-products. Various smoking alternative systems (or "alternative smoking systems") have been proposed to avoid smoking grass.

此類吸煙替代系統可以形成尼古丁替代療法的一部分，該療法針對的是希望停止吸煙且克服對尼古丁的依賴的人。Such smoking replacement systems can form part of nicotine replacement therapy, which is aimed at people who wish to stop smoking and overcome their dependence on nicotine.

吸煙替代系統包括電子系統，該電子系統藉由產生煙霧（也稱為「蒸氣」）容許使用者模擬吸煙的動作，該煙霧藉由口部（吸入）抽吸到肺部中然後呼出。吸入的煙霧一般帶有尼古丁及/或調味劑，其不具有或具有較少的與傳統吸煙相關聯的氣味及健康風險。Smoking replacement systems include electronic systems that allow users to simulate smoking by generating smoke (also called "vapor"), which is drawn into the lungs through the mouth (inhalation) and then exhaled. Inhaled smoke generally contains nicotine and/or flavoring agents, which do not have or have less odor and health risks associated with traditional smoking.

一般而言，吸煙替代系統旨在提供吸煙儀式的替代品，同時將類似的體驗提供給使用者及向有傳統吸煙及易燃煙草產品的經驗的彼等人提供滿足。一些吸煙替代系統使用吸煙替代製品，該吸煙替代製品被設計為類似於傳統香煙，且呈圓柱形的形式且在一端處具有煙嘴口。Generally speaking, the smoking substitution system aims to provide alternatives to smoking rituals, while at the same time providing similar experiences to users and providing satisfaction to those who have experience in traditional smoking and flammable tobacco products. Some smoking replacement systems use smoking replacement products that are designed to resemble traditional cigarettes and are in the form of a cylinder with a mouthpiece at one end.

在過去幾年中，吸煙替代系統的普及及使用迅速成生。雖然原本是作為協助希望戒去吸煙草的習慣性吸煙者的輔助來銷售的，但消費者越來越將吸煙替代系統視為合乎需要的生活風格配件。In the past few years, the popularization and use of smoking alternative systems have rapidly emerged. Although originally sold as an aid to habitual smokers who wish to quit smoking, consumers increasingly regard smoking alternative systems as a desirable lifestyle accessory.

存在許多不同範疇的吸煙替代系統，每種均利用不同的吸煙替代方法。There are many different types of smoking replacement systems, each using a different method of smoking replacement.

一種用於吸煙替代系統的方法是所謂的「加熱不燃燒」（「HNB」）方法，其中將煙草（而不是「電子液體」）加熱或加溫以釋放蒸氣。煙草可以是煙葉或重組的煙草。蒸氣可以含有尼古丁及/或調味劑。在HNB方法中，意圖是，將煙草加熱但不燃燒，即煙草並不經歷發火。One method used for smoking alternative systems is the so-called "heat not burn" ("HNB") method, in which tobacco (rather than "e-liquid") is heated or warmed to release vapor. The tobacco can be tobacco leaf or reconstituted tobacco. The vapor may contain nicotine and/or flavoring agents. In the HNB method, the intention is that the tobacco is heated but not burned, that is, the tobacco does not experience ignition.

典型的HNB吸煙替代系統可以包括設備及耗材。耗材可以包括煙草材料。可以將設備及耗材配置為實體耦接在一起。使用時，可以藉由設備的加熱構件向煙草材料賦予熱，其中通過煙草材料的空氣流使得煙草材料中的濕氣作為蒸氣釋放。蒸氣也可以由煙草材料中的載體及從煙草所釋放的額外的揮發性化合物所形成（此載體可以例如包括丙二醇及/或植物甘油）。釋放的蒸氣可以夾帶在抽吸通過煙草的空氣流中。A typical HNB smoking replacement system can include equipment and consumables. The consumable may include tobacco material. The equipment and consumables can be configured to be physically coupled together. In use, the heating member of the device can be used to impart heat to the tobacco material, wherein the air flow through the tobacco material causes the moisture in the tobacco material to be released as vapor. The vapor may also be formed by a carrier in the tobacco material and additional volatile compounds released from the tobacco (this carrier may, for example, include propylene glycol and/or vegetable glycerin). The released vapor can be entrained in the air stream drawn through the tobacco.

隨著蒸氣從入口向煙嘴口（出口）穿過耗材（夾帶在空氣流中），蒸氣冷卻且冷凝以形成煙霧以供由使用者吸入。煙霧通常將含有揮發性化合物。As the vapor passes through the consumable (entrained in the air stream) from the inlet to the mouthpiece (outlet), the vapor cools and condenses to form smoke for inhalation by the user. Smoke will usually contain volatile compounds.

在HNB吸煙替代系統中，認為加熱而不是燃燒煙草材料造成較少或較小量的通常在吸煙期間產生的更有害的化合物。從而，HNB方法可以減少可能藉由煙草的燃燒、發火、及熱解劣化引起的氣味及/或健康風險。In the HNB smoking replacement system, it is believed that heating rather than burning tobacco material results in fewer or smaller amounts of the more harmful compounds that are usually produced during smoking. Thus, the HNB method can reduce the odor and/or health risks that may be caused by the combustion, ignition, and pyrolysis deterioration of tobacco.

在一些情況下，從煙嘴口傳遞（即被使用者吸入）的煙霧可能不處於合乎需要的狀態。因此，可能需要在煙霧被使用者吸入之前變更該煙霧的一或更多個特性。In some cases, the smoke delivered from the mouthpiece (ie, inhaled by the user) may not be in a desirable state. Therefore, it may be necessary to modify one or more characteristics of the smoke before the smoke is inhaled by the user.

需要改善HNB耗材的設計以增強使用者體驗及改善HNB吸煙替代系統的功能。There is a need to improve the design of HNB consumables to enhance the user experience and improve the function of the HNB smoking replacement system.

鑑於上述考量設計了本揭示內容。This disclosure is designed in view of the above considerations.

從最廣泛的意義上講，本揭示內容與一種HNB耗材相關，該HNB耗材包括呈由塑膠材料所形成的片材的形式的冷卻構件。In the broadest sense, the present disclosure is related to an HNB consumable that includes a cooling member in the form of a sheet formed of a plastic material.

依據第一態樣，提供了一種加熱不燃燒（HNB）耗材，該加熱不燃燒耗材包括：煙霧形成基材；及冷卻構件，位在該基材的下游，其中該冷卻構件包括由塑膠材料所形成的片材及塗敷到該片材的表面的添加劑。According to a first aspect, a heat-not-burn (HNB) consumable is provided. The heat-not-burn consumable includes an aerosol-forming substrate; and a cooling member located downstream of the substrate, wherein the cooling member includes a plastic material. The formed sheet and the additives applied to the surface of the sheet.

由煙霧形成基材所形成的蒸氣可以在耗材的下游端處離開（即供使用者吸入）之前流動通過冷卻構件。添加劑可以使得其變更藉由加熱煙霧形成基材來形成且跨冷卻構件流動的蒸氣的特性。例如，添加劑（或添加劑的成分）可以在煙霧流動通過冷卻構件時轉為夾帶在煙霧中。替代性或附加性地，添加劑（或添加劑的成分）可以用另一種方式（例如在不轉為夾帶在煙霧中的情況下）與煙霧交互作用，以便影響煙霧的特性。The vapor formed by the aerosol-forming substrate can flow through the cooling member before exiting at the downstream end of the consumable (ie for inhalation by the user). Additives can make it change the characteristics of the vapor formed by heating the aerosol-forming substrate and flowing across the cooling member. For example, the additive (or component of the additive) can be entrained in the smoke as it flows through the cooling member. Alternatively or additionally, the additives (or components of the additives) can interact with the smoke in another way (for example, without being entrained in the smoke) in order to affect the characteristics of the smoke.

如本文中所使用的，用語「上游」及「下游」旨在指蒸氣/煙霧的流動方向，即在耗材的下游端是煙霧離開耗材以供由使用者吸入的口部端或出口的情況下的流動方向。耗材的上游端是下游端的相對端。As used herein, the terms "upstream" and "downstream" are intended to refer to the direction of vapor/smoke flow, that is, in the case where the downstream end of the consumable is the mouth end or outlet where the fume leaves the consumable for inhalation by the user The direction of flow. The upstream end of the consumable is the opposite end of the downstream end.

現將列出可選的特徵。這些特徵單獨地可適用或用與任何態樣的任何組合地可適用。The optional features will now be listed. These features are applicable individually or in any combination with any aspect.

塑膠材料可以包括聚乳酸（PLA）。在這方面，塑膠材料可以是可生物降解的，且從而片材可以是可生物降解的。片材可以僅由PLA所形成，或可以由PLA以及另一種材料（例如另一種塑膠材料）所形成。The plastic material may include polylactic acid (PLA). In this regard, the plastic material may be biodegradable, and thus the sheet may be biodegradable. The sheet may be formed of PLA alone, or may be formed of PLA and another material (for example, another plastic material).

片材可以替代性或附加性地由選自由以下項目所組成的群組的塑膠材料所形成：聚氯乙烯（PVC）、聚乙烯（PE）、聚丙烯（PP）、及聚對苯二甲酸乙二醇酯（PET）。The sheet may alternatively or additionally be formed of plastic materials selected from the group consisting of the following items: polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyterephthalic acid Ethylene glycol ester (PET).

在一些實施例中，添加劑包括調味料。在這方面，調味料可以從冷卻構件分散到從煙霧形成基材流動的蒸氣。分散到蒸氣的調味料可以因此在蒸氣被使用者吸入之前變更蒸氣的風味。可以用固體或液體的形式提供調味料。其可以包括薄荷醇、甘草、巧克力、水果調味料（包括例如柑橘、櫻桃等等）、香草、香料（例如薑、肉桂）、及煙草調味料。調味料可以均勻分散在整個冷卻構件內，或可以被提供在隔離的位置中或在整個冷卻構件內用不等的濃度提供。In some embodiments, the additives include flavorings. In this regard, the flavoring can be dispersed from the cooling member to the vapor flowing from the aerosol forming substrate. The flavoring dispersed in the vapor can thus modify the flavor of the vapor before the vapor is inhaled by the user. The seasoning can be provided in solid or liquid form. It may include menthol, licorice, chocolate, fruit flavors (including, for example, citrus, cherry, etc.), vanilla, spices (such as ginger, cinnamon), and tobacco flavors. The seasoning may be uniformly dispersed throughout the cooling member, or may be provided in an isolated location or provided in unequal concentrations throughout the cooling member.

在一些實施例中，添加劑包括相變材料。這可以促進在被使用者吸入之前藉由熱交換冷卻煙霧/蒸氣（由煙霧形成基材所產生）。添加劑可以包括調味料（如上文所論述）及相變材料。In some embodiments, the additives include phase change materials. This can facilitate the cooling of the smoke/vapor (generated by the smoke forming substrate) by heat exchange before being inhaled by the user. Additives can include flavorings (as discussed above) and phase change materials.

相變材料可以能夠在相變期間儲存及釋放能量。相變材料可以是固體-液體相變材料，由此在加熱相變材料時，該相變材料從固體熔化成液體且儲存熱能。相變材料可以具有接近室溫的溫度下的熔點（例如25℃到35℃），使得來自跨冷卻構件傳遞的蒸氣（其可以比室溫熱）的熱傳導到相變材料（其在相變期間將熱儲存為潛熱）。從蒸氣到相變材料的此種熱傳導可以造成蒸氣冷卻，這可以促進蒸氣冷凝以便形成煙霧。在相變期間，相變材料保持在大致一致的溫度下，從而允許將大量的熱從蒸氣傳導（由於蒸氣與相變材料之間的溫度差而傳導）到相變材料。The phase change material may be able to store and release energy during the phase change. The phase change material may be a solid-liquid phase change material, whereby when the phase change material is heated, the phase change material melts from a solid to a liquid and stores thermal energy. The phase change material may have a melting point at a temperature close to room temperature (for example, 25°C to 35°C), so that heat from the vapor (which may be hotter than room temperature) transferred across the cooling member is conducted to the phase change material (which is during the phase change Store heat as latent heat). This heat transfer from the vapor to the phase change material can cause the vapor to cool, which can promote condensation of the vapor to form smoke. During the phase change, the phase change material is maintained at a substantially uniform temperature, allowing a large amount of heat to be conducted from the vapor (due to the temperature difference between the vapor and the phase change material) to the phase change material.

相變材料可以是有機相變材料，該有機相變材料可以例如是基於鏈烷烴（Cn H2n+2 ）的，例如具有14到34個碳（例如20個碳（二十烷/類二十烷））的鏈烷烴。The phase change material may be an organic phase change material, the organic phase change material may for example be based on paraffin (C n H 2n+2 ), for example having 14 to 34 carbons (for example 20 carbons (eicosane/class two Decane)) paraffins.

在一些實施例中，可以將添加劑噴塗或塗覆到片材的表面上。替代性或附加性地，片材可以滲透有添加劑。在這方面，片材可以是多孔片材（例如由多孔材料所形成）。In some embodiments, the additives may be sprayed or coated onto the surface of the sheet. Alternatively or additionally, the sheet may be impregnated with additives. In this regard, the sheet may be a porous sheet (for example, formed of a porous material).

在一些實施例中，片材是捲曲的。片材可以是捲曲及聚集的（例如以形成具有高表面面積的結構）。若冷卻構件包括調味料，則高的表面面積可以最大化調味料到煙霧的分散。類似地，若冷卻構件包括相變材料，則高表面面積可以最大化與煙霧進行的熱交換，且因此可以促進煙霧的冷卻。聚集的片材可以界定複數個通道。In some embodiments, the sheet is curled. The sheet can be curled and gathered (for example to form a structure with a high surface area). If the cooling member includes flavoring, the high surface area can maximize the dispersion of flavoring to smoke. Similarly, if the cooling member includes a phase change material, the high surface area can maximize heat exchange with smoke, and thus can promote cooling of smoke. The gathered sheets can define a plurality of channels.

在一些實施例中，片材聚集以便形成實質圓柱形的形狀。若聚集的片材界定通道，則通道可以在聚集片材的縱軸的方向上延伸。In some embodiments, the sheets are gathered to form a substantially cylindrical shape. If the gathered sheet material defines a channel, the channel may extend in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the gathered sheet material.

冷卻構件及煙霧形成基材可以至少部分地（例如完全地）被包裹層（例如紙包裹層）圍束。包裹層可以覆蓋內箔層，或可以包括紙/箔層合結構（其中箔在最裡面）。The cooling member and the aerosol-forming substrate may be at least partially (for example, completely) surrounded by a wrapping layer (for example, a paper wrapping layer). The wrapping layer may cover the inner foil layer, or may include a paper/foil laminate structure (where the foil is the innermost).

冷卻構件的直徑可以實質匹配煙霧形成基材的直徑（在有或沒有其相關聯的包裹層的情況下）。冷卻構件的軸向長度可以小於20 mm，例如在8與18 mm之間，例如在13與15 mm之間。The diameter of the cooling member may substantially match the diameter of the aerosol-forming substrate (with or without its associated wrapper). The axial length of the cooling member may be less than 20 mm, for example between 8 and 18 mm, for example between 13 and 15 mm.

煙霧形成基材可以能夠被加熱以釋放可以形成煙霧的至少一種揮發性化合物。The aerosol-forming substrate may be capable of being heated to release at least one volatile compound that can form aerosol.

為了產生煙霧，煙霧形成基材包括至少一種揮發性化合物，該至少一種揮發性化合物旨在被汽化/霧化且可以在吸入時將休閒及/或醫療效果提供給使用者。合適的化學及/或具有生理活性的揮發性化合物包括由以下項目所組成的群組：尼古丁、古柯鹼、咖啡因、鴉片及鴉片類藥物、去甲偽麻黃鹼及卡西酮、卡法內酯、肉豆蔻醚、β-咔啉生物鹼、薩爾維諾林A（salvinorin A）、以及前述項目的任何組合、功能等效物、及/或合成替代物。In order to generate smoke, the aerosol-forming substrate includes at least one volatile compound which is intended to be vaporized/atomized and can provide a leisure and/or medical effect to the user when inhaled.

The cooling member 7 includes a sheet formed of a plastic material (including polylactic acid (PLA)) and an additive applied to the surface of the sheet (for example, spraying/coating on the surface). The use of PLA to form the sheet may mean that the cooling member 7 is biodegradable.

紙板間隔管8被設置在冷卻構件7與上游過濾器4之間，且用來允許冷卻及混合煙霧。紙板管間隔物的長度大約與冷卻構件7相同，且該紙板管間隔物具有約7 mm的軸向長度。紙板間隔管8、上游過濾構件4、及冷卻構件7被包裹層3圍束。The cardboard spacer tube 8 is provided between the cooling member 7 and the upstream filter 4, and is used to allow cooling and mixing of smoke. The length of the cardboard tube spacer is approximately the same as the cooling member 7, and the cardboard tube spacer has an axial length of about 7 mm. The cardboard spacer tube 8, the upstream filter member 4, and the cooling member 7 are bound by the wrapping layer 3.

圖3示出耗材1''的第三實施例，該耗材與第一實施例相同，除了該耗材包括（與圖2的實施例類似）紙板間隔管8以外。進一步地，包裹層3並不完全圍束紙板間隔管8，使得在接裝層6與包裹層3的端部的下游的紙板間隔管8之間存在環形間隙10。在耗材1''的第三實施例中，冷卻構件7位在紙板間隔管8與上游過濾器4之間。FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of a consumable 1 ″, which is the same as the first embodiment, except that the consumable includes (similar to the embodiment of FIG. 2) a cardboard spacer tube 8. Further, the wrapping layer 3 does not completely enclose the cardboard spacer tube 8, so that there is an annular gap 10 between the tipping layer 6 and the cardboard spacer tube 8 downstream of the end of the wrapping layer 3. In the third embodiment of the consumable 1", the cooling member 7 is located between the cardboard spacer tube 8 and the upstream filter 4.

耗材1被安插到設備10的主體12的空腔11中，使得加熱桿20穿透煙霧形成基材2。煙霧形成基材2中的重組煙草的加熱是藉由對加熱構件供電（例如用可充電電池（未示出）供電）來實現的。隨著煙草加熱，煙草及保濕劑內的濕氣及揮發性化合物（例如尼古丁）釋放作為蒸氣且夾帶在終端過濾部分5處由使用者進行的吸入作用所產生的空氣流內。The consumable 1 is inserted into the cavity 11 of the main body 12 of the device 10 so that the heating rod 20 penetrates the aerosol-forming substrate 2. The heating of the reconstituted tobacco in the aerosol-forming substrate 2 is achieved by supplying power to the heating member (for example, using a rechargeable battery (not shown)). As the tobacco heats up, the moisture and volatile compounds (such as nicotine) in the tobacco and the humectant are released as vapor and are entrained in the air stream generated by the user's inhalation at the terminal filtering part 5.

隨著蒸氣在上游過濾構件4及冷卻構件7內冷卻，其冷凝以形成含有揮發性化合物以及薄荷醇調味料的煙霧以供由使用者吸入。As the vapor cools in the upstream filter member 4 and the cooling member 7, it condenses to form a smoke containing volatile compounds and menthol flavoring for inhalation by the user.
