Description

用於儲存和吸入尼古丁的裝置及其製造方法Device for storing and inhaling nicotine and method for its manufacture

本發明涉及一種用於儲存和吸入汽化尼古丁的裝置及其製造方法。The present invention relates to a device for storing and inhaling vaporized nicotine and a method for its manufacture.

以下對先前技術的討論旨在促進對本公開的理解。應當理解，討論並不是承認或承認所提及的任何內容在本發明的優先權日之前已在任何司法管轄區發表、已知或者是本領域技術人員的通常知識的一部分。The following discussion of the prior art is intended to facilitate an understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the discussion is not an acknowledgment or admission that anything referred to was published, known or part of the common knowledge of those skilled in the art in any jurisdiction prior to the priority date of the invention.

吸煙通常有害，起因為許多化學物質，例如煙草、鉛、砷、苯和尼古丁。吸煙會導致癌症、心臟病、中風、肺病、糖尿病和慢性阻塞性肺病 (COPD)，其中包括肺氣腫和慢性支氣管炎。Smoking is generally harmful and is caused by many chemicals such as tobacco, lead, arsenic, benzene and nicotine. Smoking causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung disease, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

最近，眾所周知，製造商引入了電子煙或電子煙設備，聲稱此類設備能避開與吸煙相關的許多健康風險。而且，許多此類電子煙設備確實含有致癌物質乙醛和甲醛等毒素。對於這樣的裝置，必須加熱組合物直到它變成蒸氣/氣溶膠，然後可以被使用者吸入。這種組合物的加熱會釋放有害的化學物質，對人體健康有害。此外，在吸入這些物質時，使用者也會呼出煙霧。二手煙會導致成人中風、肺癌和冠心病。接觸二手煙的兒童患嬰兒猝死綜合症、急性呼吸道感染、中耳病、嚴重的哮喘、呼吸道症狀和肺部生長減慢的風險增加。More recently, manufacturers have been known to introduce e-cigarettes, or vaping devices, claiming that such devices avoid many of the health risks associated with smoking. And, many of these vaping devices do contain toxins such as carcinogens acetaldehyde and formaldehyde. For such devices, the composition must be heated until it becomes a vapor/aerosol, which can then be inhaled by the user. Heating of this composition releases harmful chemicals that are harmful to human health. Additionally, when inhaling these substances, users exhale fumes. Secondhand smoke can cause stroke, lung cancer, and coronary heart disease in adults. Children exposed to secondhand smoke are at increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome, acute respiratory infections, middle ear disease, severe asthma, respiratory symptoms, and slowed lung growth.

對於希望戒除煙癮的吸煙者，許多人已經轉向尼古丁貼片或有望抑制其煙癮的藥物。然而，此類尼古丁貼片和藥物的問題是，它可以緩解戒斷症狀，但在精神上和心理上對希望戒菸的吸煙者沒有多大幫助，因為吸煙者的大腦已經被訓練成渴望並享受吸入尼古丁（在大腦中產生人們正在尋找的影響的成癮藥物）的滿足感。For smokers looking to quit, many have turned to nicotine patches or drugs that promise to curb their cravings. The problem with this type of nicotine patch and drug, however, is that it relieves withdrawal symptoms but doesn't do much mentally and psychologically for a smoker wishing to quit because the smoker's brain has been trained to crave and enjoy inhalation The satisfaction of nicotine (the addictive drug that creates the effects in the brain that one is looking for).

外殼12可以由任何合適的材料製成。例如，外殼12可以由金屬、合金、塑料、複合材料或熱塑性塑料製成。外殼12也可以是基本上透明的。可選地，外殼可以具有由透明塑料或丙烯酸製成的窗口。這允許用戶能夠查看其中的內容物並獲得關於其中的內容物是否可能需要重新填充或者容器10是否需要更換的指示。Housing 12 may be made of any suitable material. For example, housing 12 may be made of metal, alloy, plastic, composite material, or thermoplastic. Housing 12 may also be substantially transparent. Optionally, the housing may have windows made of clear plastic or acrylic. This allows the user to view the contents and get an indication as to whether the contents may need to be refilled or if the container 10 needs to be replaced.

一或複數流體21的含量可由製造商確定。例如，一或複數流體21可選自水、丙二醇(PG)、植物甘油(VG)或甘油、油、礦物油、植物油、精油、薄荷醇、乙醇、植物提取物、澱粉、鹽、糖、線性多醣瓊脂糖和瓊脂膠的混合物（俗稱瓊脂）、食用膠和/或調味添加劑，如肉桂、香草、檸檬草或草莓等。值得注意的是，一或複數流體21中之各流體的組成和濃度可以是預先確定的。The content of one or more fluids 21 can be determined by the manufacturer. For example, one or more fluids 21 may be selected from water, propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG) or glycerin, oil, mineral oil, vegetable oil, essential oil, menthol, ethanol, plant extracts, starch, salt, sugar, linear A mixture of polysaccharide agarose and agarose (commonly known as agar), edible gums and/or flavoring additives such as cinnamon, vanilla, lemongrass or strawberry. It should be noted that the composition and concentration of each fluid in one or more fluids 21 may be predetermined.

在一些實施例中，一或複數流體21可以與小的固體顆粒例如粉末混合。這些固體顆粒嚴格來說是非流體的，但是它們可以與一或複數流體21混合，並且足夠小以從用於儲存尼古丁和/或一或複數流體的容器的噴嘴中噴出。在一些實施例中，小的固體顆粒可以溶解一或複數流體21中。In some embodiments, one or more fluids 21 may be mixed with small solid particles such as powders. These solid particles are strictly non-fluid, but they can be mixed with the fluid or fluids 21 and are small enough to be ejected from the nozzle of the container for storing nicotine and/or the fluid or fluids. In some embodiments, small solid particles can be dissolved in one or more fluids 21 .

圖3a和3b是根據另一個實施例的用於儲存汽化尼古丁、壓縮氣體和一或複數流體的容器的示意性側視圖。容器10與前述實施例中描述的容器大體相似，為簡潔起見不再重複其特徵。汽化尼古丁13、壓縮氣體15和一或複數流體21可以在高於環境壓力的壓力下儲存在容器10中。在該實施例中，分隔件22設置在外殼12的封閉空間內。分隔件22將外殼12分成第一部分20和第二部分24。位於第一端11上的塞子17可適於接收一根或多根管子18a、18b。Figures 3a and 3b are schematic side views of a container for storing vaporized nicotine, compressed gas and a fluid or fluids according to another embodiment. The container 10 is generally similar to that described in the preceding embodiments, and features thereof are not repeated for the sake of brevity. Vaporized nicotine 13, compressed gas 15 and fluid or fluids 21 may be stored in container 10 at a pressure higher than ambient pressure. In this embodiment, the partition 22 is disposed within the closed space of the housing 12 . A divider 22 divides the housing 12 into a first section 20 and a second section 24 . A plug 17 on the first end 11 may be adapted to receive one or more tubes 18a, 18b.

在圖3a和3b中，塞子17被示為接收兩個管子18，其中一個管子18a終止於第一部分20，而另一個管子18b終止於第二部分24。圖3a和3b示出了示例性實施例，其中外殼12具有兩個管18a、18b，其終止於它們各自的部分20、24中，本領域的普通技術人員無需創造性勞動就可以將本公開應用到其他情況。例如，本公開還可以應用於具有三個或更多個部分的容器10，每個部分具有終止於相應部分的管子。In FIGS. 3 a and 3 b , the plug 17 is shown receiving two tubes 18 , one tube 18 a terminating in the first part 20 and the other tube 18 b terminating in the second part 24 . Figures 3a and 3b show an exemplary embodiment in which the housing 12 has two tubes 18a, 18b terminating in their respective sections 20, 24, the disclosure can be applied by one of ordinary skill in the art without inventive effort to other situations. For example, the present disclosure may also apply to a container 10 having three or more sections, each section having a tube terminating in a respective section.

第一端口 14 可以沿著外殼 12 的周邊定位並與第一部分 20 相鄰。第一端口 14 可以適於接收汽化尼古丁 13 和壓縮氣體 15。與前面的實施例一樣，第一端口 14 可具有單向閥（圖未示）以允許***注射裝置（圖未示）以將汽化尼古丁 13 和壓縮氣體 15 泵入外殼 12 的第一部分 20。單向閥可打開以允許汽化尼古丁13和壓縮氣體15流入外殼12的第一部分20，以及關閉以防止汽化尼古丁13和壓縮氣體15由第一端口14洩漏。或者，第一端口14可以具有密封第一端口14的蓋（圖未示）。這允許將汽化尼古丁13和壓縮氣體15泵送到外殼12的第一部分20中。如圖3a和3b所示，容器10的第一部分20因此可以填充有汽化尼古丁13壓縮氣體15。The first port 14 may be positioned along the perimeter of the housing 12 adjacent to the first portion 20 . The first port 14 may be adapted to receive vaporized nicotine 13 and compressed gas 15 . As in the previous embodiments, the first port 14 may have a one-way valve (not shown) to allow insertion of an injection device (not shown) to pump vaporized nicotine 13 and compressed gas 15 into the first portion 20 of the housing 12 . The one-way valve is openable to allow vaporized nicotine 13 and compressed gas 15 to flow into first portion 20 of housing 12 and closed to prevent leakage of vaporized nicotine 13 and compressed gas 15 through first port 14 . Alternatively, the first port 14 may have a cap (not shown) that seals the first port 14 . This allows the pumping of vaporized nicotine 13 and compressed gas 15 into the first part 20 of the housing 12 . As shown in FIGS. 3 a and 3 b , the first part 20 of the container 10 may thus be filled with the compressed gas 15 of vaporized nicotine 13 .

第二端口 16 可沿外殼 12 的周邊定位並與第二部分 24 相鄰。第二端口 16 可適於接收一或複數流體 21 和壓縮氣體 15。與前述實施例一樣，第二端口16可以具有單向閥（圖未示）以允許***注射裝置（圖未示）以將一或複數流體21和壓縮氣體15泵送到外殼12的第二部分24中。可以打開單向閥以允許一或複數流體21和壓縮氣體15流入外殼12的第二部分24，以及關閉單向閥以防止一或複數流體21和壓縮氣體15經第二端口洩漏16。可替代地，第二端口16可以具有蓋（圖未示）以密封第二端口16。這允許將一或複數流體21和壓縮氣體15泵送到外殼12的第二部分24中。如圖3a和3b所示，容器10的第二部分24因此可以填充有一或複數流體21和壓縮氣體15。The second port 16 may be located along the perimeter of the housing 12 and adjacent to the second portion 24 . The second port 16 may be adapted to receive one or more fluids 21 and compressed gas 15 . As with the previous embodiments, the second port 16 may have a one-way valve (not shown) to allow insertion of an injection device (not shown) to pump one or more fluids 21 and compressed gas 15 to the second portion of the housing 12 24 in. The one-way valve may be opened to allow the fluid or fluids 21 and compressed gas 15 to flow into the second portion 24 of the housing 12 and closed to prevent leakage 16 of the fluid or fluids 21 and compressed gas 15 through the second port. Alternatively, the second port 16 may have a cap (not shown) to seal the second port 16 . This allows one or more fluids 21 and compressed gas 15 to be pumped into the second portion 24 of the housing 12 . The second part 24 of the container 10 may thus be filled with one or more fluids 21 and compressed gas 15, as shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b.

分隔件22可以由任何合適的材料製成，例如金屬、塑料、複合材料和合金。分隔件22確保將儲存在第一部分20中的汽化尼古丁13和壓縮氣體15的混合物與儲存在第二部分24中的壓縮氣體15和一或複數流體21的混合物分離，並防止第一部分20與第二部分24中任何內容物之混合。在圖3a中，分隔件22被示為裝配在外殼12的內側壁內，並且被示為基本上平行於外殼12的第一端11和第二端19的縱向平面。在圖3b中，分隔件22被示為從外殼12的第一端11延伸到外殼12的第二端19，使得分隔件22橫向於第一端11和第二端19的縱向平面。Separator 22 may be made of any suitable material, such as metals, plastics, composite materials, and alloys. The separator 22 ensures that the mixture of vaporized nicotine 13 and compressed gas 15 stored in the first part 20 is separated from the mixture of compressed gas 15 and one or more fluids 21 stored in the second part 24 and prevents the first part 20 from being separated from the second part 20. Mixing of any of the contents of part 24. In FIG. 3 a , the divider 22 is shown fitted within the inner side wall of the housing 12 and is shown substantially parallel to the longitudinal plane of the first end 11 and the second end 19 of the housing 12 . In FIG. 3 b , the partition 22 is shown extending from the first end 11 of the housing 12 to the second end 19 of the housing 12 such that the partition 22 is transverse to the longitudinal plane of the first end 11 and the second end 19 .

於該實施例中，終止於第一部分 20 的管子 18a 可以比終止於第二部分 24 的管子 18b 短。管子 18b 可以比管子 18a 長，因為管子 18b 比管子 18a延伸更長的距離以達一或複數流體21處。In this embodiment, the tube 18a terminating in the first section 20 may be shorter than the tube 18b terminating in the second section 24. Tube 18b may be longer than tube 18a because tube 18b extends a greater distance than tube 18a for one or more fluids 21.

圖4是根據一些實施例的用於吸入汽化尼古丁的裝置的示意圖，其中容器附接到洩壓或減壓室。根據先前公開的實施例，裝置40通常包括容器10和腔室30。腔室30具有位於/形成在腔室30的外周邊上的孔或孔口32。孔30被配置為配合人類用戶的嘴（圖未示）。腔室30具有沿著腔室30的壁的開口34。開口34適於接收容器10的至少第一端11。汽化尼古丁13、壓縮氣體15和一或複數流體21能在高於環境壓力的壓力下儲存在容器10中。4 is a schematic illustration of a device for inhaling vaporized nicotine with a container attached to a pressure relief or decompression chamber, according to some embodiments. According to previously disclosed embodiments, device 40 generally includes container 10 and chamber 30 . The chamber 30 has a hole or orifice 32 located/formed on the outer periphery of the chamber 30 . Aperture 30 is configured to fit a human user's mouth (not shown). The chamber 30 has an opening 34 along a wall of the chamber 30 . The opening 34 is adapted to receive at least the first end 11 of the container 10 . Vaporized nicotine 13, compressed gas 15 and fluid or fluids 21 can be stored in container 10 at a pressure higher than ambient pressure.

容器10可以透過任何合適的緊固裝置安裝到開口34。例如，開口34可以具有圍繞腔室30的開口34的內壁周向佈置的螺紋。容器10可以具有沿著容器10的第一端11的外周周向佈置的對應螺紋，使得容器10可以被旋緊以附接到腔室30。或者，容器10和腔室30可以通過卡扣結構連接，由此容器10可以具有外緣，可以手動將其壓入腔室30的開口34的相應凹槽中。雖然公開了兩種可能的緊固方法，但本領域普通技術人員將理解存在其他可能的緊固方式。Container 10 may be mounted to opening 34 via any suitable fastening means. For example, the opening 34 may have threads arranged circumferentially around the inner wall of the opening 34 of the chamber 30 . The container 10 may have corresponding threads arranged circumferentially along the outer circumference of the first end 11 of the container 10 such that the container 10 may be screwed for attachment to the chamber 30 . Alternatively, the container 10 and the chamber 30 may be connected by a snap-fit mechanism, whereby the container 10 may have a rim that can be manually pressed into a corresponding groove in the opening 34 of the chamber 30 . Although two possible fastening methods are disclosed, those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that there are other possible fastening means.

容器 10 的管 18 可以具有位於容器 10 遠端的噴嘴 36，用於將減壓汽化尼古丁 13 和/或一或複數流體 21 分配到腔室 30 中。容器 10 可以具有第一閥31設置在塞子17中並且可操作地連接到管18和噴嘴36。第一閥31在正常或非啟動條件下保持關閉，從而防止容器10的內容物流入腔室30。構件17、18、31、36可統稱為分配單元100。The tube 18 of the container 10 may have a nozzle 36 at the distal end of the container 10 for dispensing the depressurized vaporized nicotine 13 and/or the fluid or fluids 21 into the chamber 30. The container 10 may have a first valve 31 disposed in the bung 17 and operatively connected to the tube 18 and the nozzle 36. The first valve 31 remains closed under normal or non-actuated conditions, thereby preventing the contents of the container 10 from flowing into the chamber 30 . The components 17 , 18 , 31 , 36 may collectively be referred to as a dispensing unit 100 .

腔室30和外殼10可以佈置成使得施加到腔室30的力朝向外殼10 或施加到外殼1的力朝向腔室30使汽化的尼古丁13釋放到腔室30中。The chamber 30 and the housing 10 may be arranged such that a force applied to the chamber 30 towards the housing 10 or a force applied to the housing 1 towards the chamber 30 releases vaporized nicotine 13 into the chamber 30 .

在容器10具有兩個部分20、24和兩個對應的管子18a、18b 如（圖3a和3b中所示）的情況下，第一閥31可操作地連接到管子18a、第一部分20和噴嘴36a。然後可以提供第二閥37並將其設置在塞子17中並且可操作地連接到管子18b、第二部分24和噴嘴36b。第一閥31在正常條件下保持關閉，使得容器10的汽化尼古丁不能流入腔室30。呈板38形式的氣溶膠減少器可以佈置在噴嘴36附近，使得當汽化尼古丁13和/或一或複數流體21撞擊到板38上時，汽化尼古丁和/或一或複數流體21的顆粒尺寸或體積減小。In the case of a container 10 having two parts 20, 24 and two corresponding tubes 18a, 18b as (shown in Figures 3a and 3b), a first valve 31 is operatively connected to the tube 18a, the first part 20 and the nozzle 36a. A second valve 37 may then be provided and disposed in the bung 17 and operatively connected to the tube 18b, the second part 24 and the nozzle 36b. The first valve 31 remains closed under normal conditions so that vaporized nicotine from the container 10 cannot flow into the chamber 30 . An aerosol reducer in the form of a plate 38 may be arranged near the nozzle 36 so that when the vaporized nicotine 13 and/or the fluid(s) 21 impinge on the plate 38, the particle size or Reduced in size.

在一些實施例中，板38可以佈置成以預定頻率振動。振動可以由電源（圖未示）提供動力。或者，板38可以佈置成在被汽化的尼古丁13撞擊時振動。例如，板38可以相對於從腔室30的內表面延伸的安裝件樞轉。換句話說，板38可以不靠動力源產生振動。在一些實施例中，板38可以佈置有機械裝置，使得當板38被加壓汽化尼古丁13和/或從噴嘴36排出的一或複數流體21撞擊時振動。In some embodiments, plate 38 may be arranged to vibrate at a predetermined frequency. The vibrations may be powered by a power source (not shown). Alternatively, the plate 38 may be arranged to vibrate when struck by vaporized nicotine 13 . For example, plate 38 may pivot relative to mounts extending from the interior surface of chamber 30 . In other words, the plate 38 can vibrate independently of a power source. In some embodiments, the plate 38 may be arranged with mechanical means so that it vibrates when the plate 38 is struck by the pressurized vaporized nicotine 13 and/or the fluid or fluids 21 expelled from the nozzle 36 .

腔室和外殼可以佈置成使得施加到腔室的力朝向外殼或施加到外殼的力朝向腔室使汽化的尼古丁釋放到腔室中。The chamber and housing may be arranged such that force applied to the chamber towards the housing or force applied to the housing towards the chamber releases vaporized nicotine into the chamber.

腔室30中的內容物因此被混合且包含洩壓或減壓的汽化尼古丁13和一種或多種流體21。孔32可以包括第三閥33，例如單向閥。第三閥33設置在孔32內並且在裝置不使用的正常情況下保持關閉。在使用中，使用者將他的嘴放在孔32上或周圍，並通過他的嘴施加吸力。前述吸力導致第三閥33打開並且腔室的混合內容物（可以包括汽化的尼古丁和/或一或複數流體）可以通過孔32被吸入使用者的嘴中。一旦使用者嘴部提供的吸力被移除，第三閥33就完全關閉，防止內容物洩漏到外部環境中。這使用戶能夠體驗吸入汽化尼古丁的滿足感，同時減輕過程中的任何健康風險。還可以理解，由於不涉及對內容物的加熱，因此用戶不會呼出煙霧。因此，不會有任何一手或二手煙呼出。這是有益的，因為一手或二手煙的有害影響被完全消除。The contents of chamber 30 are thus mixed and contain decompressed or reduced vaporized nicotine 13 and one or more fluids 21 . The bore 32 may include a third valve 33, such as a one-way valve. A third valve 33 is disposed within the bore 32 and remains closed under normal conditions when the device is not in use. In use, the user places his mouth on or around the aperture 32 and applies suction through his mouth. The aforementioned suction causes the third valve 33 to open and the mixed contents of the chamber (which may include vaporized nicotine and/or the fluid or fluids) may be drawn through the aperture 32 into the user's mouth. Once the suction provided by the user's mouth is removed, the third valve 33 is fully closed, preventing leakage of the contents into the external environment. This allows users to experience the satisfaction of inhaling vaporized nicotine while mitigating any health risks in the process. It will also be appreciated that the user will not exhale smoke since no heating of the contents is involved. Therefore, there is no exhalation of any first or second hand smoke. This is beneficial because the harmful effects of first-hand or second-hand smoke are completely eliminated.

腔室30中的內容物可以由每個使用者根據他的個人喜好來確定。例如，用戶可能只想吸入汽化的尼古丁。在這種情況下，用戶可致動腔室30和/或外殼12僅將汽化尼古丁13減壓並通過管子18的噴嘴將汽化尼古丁13分配到腔室30中。因此腔室30僅填充有減壓的汽化尼古丁13供用戶吸入。於另一實施例中，用戶可能更喜歡吸入更“果味”的味道，因此可以致動腔室30和/或外殼12以將一或複數流體21分配到腔室30中。腔室30可以由任何合適的材料製成，例如，腔室30可以由金屬、合金、塑料、複合材料或熱塑性塑料製成。腔室30也可以是基本上透明的。可選地，腔室30可以具有由透明塑料或丙烯酸製成的窗口。這允許用戶能夠查看其中的內容物並提供關於是否可能需要將更多的汽化尼古丁13和/或一或複數流體21添加到腔室30中的指示。The contents of the chamber 30 can be determined by each user according to his personal preferences. For example, a user may only want to inhale vaporized nicotine. In this case, the user may actuate chamber 30 and/or housing 12 to depressurize only vaporized nicotine 13 and dispense vaporized nicotine 13 into chamber 30 through the nozzle of tube 18 . The chamber 30 is thus filled only with decompressed vaporized nicotine 13 for inhalation by the user. In another embodiment, the user may prefer to inhale a more "fruity" flavor and thus may actuate chamber 30 and/or housing 12 to dispense one or more fluids 21 into chamber 30 . Chamber 30 may be made of any suitable material, for example, chamber 30 may be made of metal, alloy, plastic, composite material or thermoplastic. Chamber 30 may also be substantially transparent. Optionally, chamber 30 may have windows made of clear plastic or acrylic. This allows the user to view the contents and provides an indication as to whether more vaporized nicotine 13 and/or fluid or fluids 21 may need to be added to chamber 30 .

雖然圖4示出了容器10附接到位於腔室30底端的開口34的實施例，本領域的普通技術人員透過閱讀本公開，將理解本公開不限於這種結構並且可以適用於其他結構，如圖5所示，圖5是圖4的裝置的示意圖。裝置40的結構類似於圖4中公開的結構，其中兩個容器附接到腔室30，為簡潔起見不再贅述。在該實施例中，裝置40包括安裝在腔室30的相對側壁上的兩個容器10。因此從閱讀本公開內容可以理解，腔室可以具有沿著側壁或端壁的複數個開口34以接收一個或複數個容器10。此外，圖4和5容器10示出了僅具有一個部分和一個管子的實施例。本領域普通技術人員在看到本公開內容時將理解，具有兩個或更多個部分和相應管子的容器也可以與實施例的裝置一起使用。Although FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which the container 10 is attached to the opening 34 at the bottom end of the chamber 30, one of ordinary skill in the art, upon reading this disclosure, will understand that the disclosure is not limited to this configuration and may be applicable to other configurations, As shown in FIG. 5 , FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the device in FIG. 4 . The structure of the device 40 is similar to that disclosed in Fig. 4, with two containers attached to the chamber 30, and will not be described again for the sake of brevity. In this embodiment, the device 40 includes two containers 10 mounted on opposite side walls of the chamber 30 . It will thus be understood from reading this disclosure that the chamber may have a plurality of openings 34 along the side or end walls to receive one or more containers 10 . Furthermore, Figs. 4 and 5 container 10 show an embodiment having only one section and one tube. Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate upon reviewing this disclosure that containers having two or more sections and corresponding tubes may also be used with the devices of the embodiments.

圖6a和6b以裝置60的形式示出了本發明的另一個實施例，其中相同的標號指代相同的部件。裝置60包括腔室30和容器10，容器10佈置成使得室30和容器10可相對於彼此滑動。當透過在腔室30上向容器10施加力而使腔室30的端部30a朝向容器10移動時，腔室30內的空氣從腔室30的側面被排出腔室30，且被阻止回流至腔室30，因此在腔室30內形成至少部分真空。當移除力時，腔室30的端部30a移離容器10並吸取內容物（汽化的尼古丁13和一或複數流體21）使其從容器10進入腔室30。在一些實施例中，噴嘴36可以被主動致動以從容器10釋放內容物。在其他實施例中，容器10內的內容物可以通過容器10和腔室30兩者之間的壓力差被抽出。Figures 6a and 6b show another embodiment of the invention in the form of an apparatus 60, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts. The device 60 comprises a chamber 30 and a container 10 arranged such that the chamber 30 and the container 10 are slidable relative to each other. When the end 30a of the chamber 30 is moved towards the container 10 by applying a force on the chamber 30 to the container 10, the air in the chamber 30 is forced out of the chamber 30 from the sides of the chamber 30 and is prevented from flowing back into the The chamber 30 thus creates an at least partial vacuum within the chamber 30 . When the force is removed, the end 30a of the chamber 30 moves away from the container 10 and draws the contents (vaporized nicotine 13 and fluid or fluids 21 ) from the container 10 into the chamber 30 . In some embodiments, nozzle 36 may be actively actuated to release the contents from container 10 . In other embodiments, the contents of container 10 may be drawn by a pressure differential between container 10 and chamber 30 .

圖7a和7b以裝置70的形式示出了本發明的另一個實施例，其中相同的標號指代相同的部件。裝置70包括腔室30和容器10。袋50形式的可膨脹部分佈置在腔室中並與容器10流體連通。當噴嘴36被啟動時，來自容器10的內容物將被釋放到充氣袋50中，隨著更多的內容物被釋放，充氣袋50又被充氣或裝滿。可在充氣袋50的端部設置管52（具有單向閥）以允許使用者消耗內容物。袋50可以由塑料形成或由塑料製成。Figures 7a and 7b show another embodiment of the invention in the form of a device 70, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts. Device 70 includes chamber 30 and container 10 . An expandable portion in the form of a bag 50 is disposed in the chamber and is in fluid communication with the container 10 . When the nozzle 36 is activated, the contents from the container 10 will be released into the inflatable bag 50, and the inflatable bag 50 will be inflated or filled again as more contents are released. A tube 52 (with a one-way valve) may be provided at the end of the inflatable bag 50 to allow the user to consume the contents. Bag 50 may be formed or made of plastic.

圖8a和8b以裝置80的形式示出了本發明的另一個實施例，其中相同的標號指代相同的部件。與裝置70相比，可充氣部分為橡膠氣球54的形式。Figures 8a and 8b show another embodiment of the invention in the form of an apparatus 80, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts. In contrast to device 70 , the inflatable portion is in the form of a rubber balloon 54 .

圖9a和9b是根據一些實施例的用於吸入汽化尼古丁的裝置90的另一個實施例的示意圖，其中容器10可附接到減壓或減壓室30。圖9a和9b的裝置類似於裝置40，除了氣溶膠減少器38具有不同的構造，不是如圖4所示的板。Figures 9a and 9b are schematic illustrations of another embodiment of a device 90 for inhaling vaporized nicotine in which the container 10 is attachable to a reduced pressure or decompression chamber 30, according to some embodiments. The device of Figures 9a and 9b is similar to device 40, except that the aerosol reducer 38 is of a different configuration rather than a plate as shown in Figure 4 .

腔室30包括形成在腔室30的外周上的孔/孔口32。孔32可以構造成適合使用者的嘴部（圖未示）。氣溶膠減少器38可以包括用於容納尼古丁溶液94的容器92，尼古丁溶液94可以包括一或複數流體。具有流體94的尼古丁溶液的外殼在可能是環境壓力附近的壓力下（即非加壓狀態）。容器92可包括分散單元96以產生更細的霧化液滴並可設置單向閥98。當裝置90不使用時，單向閥98在正常條件下將保持關閉。分散單元96可以是包括用於釋放容器10內的加壓內容物（例如推進劑13A）的複數個出口的桿，以促進與尼古丁溶液94和/或其他流體混合以產生氣溶膠。分散單元96可以定位在各種方向上，如圖9a（沿裝置90的縱軸定位），或圖9b（沿裝置90的橫軸定位）所示。The chamber 30 includes holes/orifices 32 formed on the periphery of the chamber 30 . Aperture 32 may be configured to fit a user's mouth (not shown). The aerosol reducer 38 may include a container 92 for containing a nicotine solution 94, which may include one or more fluids. The housing of the nicotine solution with fluid 94 is under pressure, which may be around ambient pressure (ie, the non-pressurized state). Container 92 may include a dispersion unit 96 to produce finer atomized droplets and may be provided with a one-way valve 98 . When the device 90 is not in use, the one-way valve 98 will remain closed under normal conditions. Dispensing unit 96 may be a rod including a plurality of outlets for releasing the pressurized contents (eg, propellant 13A) within container 10 to facilitate mixing with nicotine solution 94 and/or other fluids to generate an aerosol. Dispersion unit 96 may be positioned in various orientations, as shown in Figure 9a (positioned along the longitudinal axis of device 90), or Figure 9b (positioned along the transverse axis of device 90).

在使用中，使用者將他的嘴放在孔32上或周圍，並通過他的嘴施加吸力。該吸力導致單向閥98打開，容器92的霧化內容物在腔室30內被減壓，因此相對於容器10處於較小的壓力下，然後可以透過孔32被吸入使用者的嘴中。In use, the user places his mouth on or around the aperture 32 and applies suction through his mouth. This suction causes the one-way valve 98 to open, and the aerosolized contents of the container 92 are decompressed within the chamber 30 , thus being under less pressure relative to the container 10 , and can then be drawn through the aperture 32 into the user's mouth.

在一些實施例中，呼吸啟動或吸力啟動的單向閥 33 可定位在孔 32 附近以便於獲得更小的液滴並在液滴通過閥時增加容器30內部的湍流。In some embodiments, a breath-activated or suction-activated one-way valve 33 may be positioned near the aperture 32 to facilitate smaller droplets and increase turbulence inside the container 30 as the droplets pass through the valve.

在一些實施例中，流體94可以包括表面活性劑、低分子量多元醇和/或低揮發性化合物。與容器10中的推進劑混合的流體94可以透過分散單元96擴散。In some embodiments, fluid 94 may include surfactants, low molecular weight polyols, and/or low volatility compounds. The fluid 94 mixed with the propellant in the container 10 can diffuse through the dispersion unit 96 .

在一些實施例中，放置在容器 92 中的空氣分散單元96在液體中產生氣泡，並像擋板一樣將氣流引導到不同的方向和角度，因此在容器92內部產生渦旋和表面上的氣泡。隨著較小液滴的保留時間增加，產生的雲形成包括小的顆粒/或液滴尺寸，這意味著在吸入過程中會出現更多的單分散結構。在整個噴霧過程中，富含液體的製劑填充容器30直到達到噴霧輸出的高度。In some embodiments, the air dispersing unit 96 placed in the container 92 creates air bubbles in the liquid and acts like a baffle to direct the air flow in different directions and angles, thus creating vortices inside the container 92 and air bubbles on the surface . As the retention time of smaller droplets increases, the resulting cloud formation includes small particle and/or droplet sizes, implying more monodisperse structures during inhalation. Throughout the nebulization process, the liquid-enriched formulation fills the container 30 until the level of the nebulized output is reached.

在一些實施例中，單向閥98被配置或佈置成僅在容器92處於壓力下時打開。In some embodiments, one-way valve 98 is configured or arranged to open only when container 92 is under pressure.

在一些實施例中，腔室 30 可具有抗粘附塗層以防止或最小化顆粒粘附到腔室 30 的內表面上。In some embodiments, the chamber 30 may have an anti-adhesive coating to prevent or minimize particles from adhering to the interior surfaces of the chamber 30.

可以理解的是，在所述的各種實施例中，洩壓或減壓室30操作以降低通過分配單元100從容器10排放的汽化/霧化流體的壓力。這種佈置有利地允許使用者在吞嚥之前將吸入的霧化流體保持在他的嘴中。在沒有洩壓或減壓室30的情況下，霧化流體可能會在一定壓力下被推入使用者的口中，並且大部分霧化流體可能會被無意吞嚥。It will be appreciated that in the various embodiments described, the pressure relief or decompression chamber 30 operates to reduce the pressure of the vaporized/atomized fluid discharged from the container 10 through the dispensing unit 100 . This arrangement advantageously allows the user to keep the inhaled aerosolized fluid in his mouth before swallowing. In the absence of a pressure relief or decompression chamber 30, the aerosolized fluid may be pushed into the user's mouth under pressure, and a large portion of the aerosolized fluid may be inadvertently swallowed.

除了前述方式之外，可以設想將氣溶膠從容器10釋放到減壓或減壓室30中的各種方式。換言之，可以設想設計分配單元100的各種方式，包括複數個單向閥、一個或複數個噴嘴、一個或複數個傳感器、一個或複數個機械或電子控制器、遙控器或致動器。Various ways of releasing the aerosol from the container 10 into the decompression or decompression chamber 30 are conceivable in addition to the aforementioned ways. In other words, various ways of designing dispensing unit 100 are conceivable, including one-way valves, nozzles or nozzles, sensors or sensors, mechanical or electronic controls, remote controls or actuators.

可以理解的是，在如圖7a、7b、8a和8b所示的實施例中，可以移除腔室30。It will be appreciated that in the embodiment shown in Figures 7a, 7b, 8a and 8b, the chamber 30 may be removed.

藉此，由於尼古丁在儲存在本公開的容器10和/或92中時已經處於汽化形式，因此不需要加熱尼古丁。這節省了能源和成本，並防止與組合物加熱相關的有害化學物質進入使用者的肺部。此外，由於不涉及組合物的加熱，因此不會呼出煙霧。這將對環境友好，並防止用戶周圍的人吸入二手煙。此外，由於不排放煙霧，使用者現在可以在室內或空調區域吸入蒸發的尼古丁。Thereby, since the nicotine is already in vaporized form when stored in the containers 10 and/or 92 of the present disclosure, there is no need to heat the nicotine. This saves energy and costs, and prevents harmful chemicals associated with heating the composition from entering the user's lungs. Furthermore, since no heating of the composition is involved, there is no exhalation of fumes. This will be environmentally friendly and prevent those around the user from inhaling second-hand smoke. Furthermore, since no smoke is emitted, users can now inhale vaporized nicotine indoors or in air-conditioned areas.

應當理解，各種描述的實施例中的一個或複數個特徵可以組合以形成進一步的實施例。It will be appreciated that one or more features of various described embodiments may be combined to form further embodiments.
