Description
본 개시는 담배 로드와 필터 로드를 포함하는 궐련을 제공한다.The present disclosure provides a cigarette comprising a tobacco rod and a filter rod.
근래에 일반적인 궐련의 단점들을 극복하는 대체 방법에 관한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 예를 들어, 궐련을 연소시켜 에어로졸을 생성시키는 방법이 아닌 궐련 내의 에어로졸 생성 물질이 가열됨에 따라 에어로졸이 생성되는 방법에 관한 수요가 증가하고 있다.In recent years there is a growing demand for alternative ways to overcome the shortcomings of common cigarettes. For example, there is an increasing demand for how aerosols are produced as the aerosol generating material in the cigarette is heated, rather than burning the cigarette to produce aerosols.
궐련은 필터를 포함하며, 필터는 에어로졸에 포함된 특정 성분을 필터링하거나 에어로졸을 냉각시키는 역할을 수행한다. 필터의 필터링 성능이 지나치게 높으면 에어로졸 이행량이 감소하고, 필터링 성능이 지나치게 낮으면 에어로졸에 포함된 특정 성분이 필터링되지 않는 문제가 있다.Cigarettes include filters, which serve to filter or cool specific components contained in the aerosol. If the filtering performance of the filter is too high, the aerosol transition amount is reduced, and if the filtering performance is too low, there is a problem that a specific component contained in the aerosol is not filtered.
이에 따라, 필터를 구성하는 성분을 변경하거나 필터의 구조를 변경함으로써, 적절한 성능을 갖는 필터에 관한 연구가 진행 중에 있다.Accordingly, research on a filter having appropriate performance is underway by changing the components constituting the filter or the structure of the filter.

본 실시예에 따른 궐련은, 비압축 고분자 물질로 형성된 중심부와, 중심부를 감싸는 압축 고분자 물질로 형성된 외곽부를 포함하는 마우스피스를 개시한다.The cigarette according to the present embodiment discloses a mouthpiece including a central portion formed of an incompressible polymer material and an outer portion formed of a compressed polymer material surrounding the central portion.
본 발명에 따르면, 마우스피스의 중심부를 충진 밀도가 낮은 고분자 물질로 형성함으로써 에어로졸의 이행을 증가시킬 수 있다. 또한, 마우스피스를 비압축 고분자 물질로 형성된 중심부와 중심부를 감싸는 압축 고분자 물질로 형성함으로써, 사용자가 궐련의 마우스피스를 물고 흡연할 때, 마우스피스에 대한 감성품질을 향상시킬 수 있다.According to the present invention, it is possible to increase the performance of aerosols by forming the central portion of the mouthpiece with a low packing density polymer material. In addition, the mouthpiece is formed of a compressed polymer material surrounding the central part and the central part formed of the non-compressed polymer material, so that when the user bites and smokes the mouthpiece of the cigarette, the sensitivity to the mouthpiece can be improved.

제 1 래퍼(231), 제 2 래퍼(232), 제 5 래퍼(235) 및 제 6 래퍼(236)는 일반적인 권지로 제작될 수 있다. 예를 들어, 제 1 래퍼(231), 제 2 래퍼(232), 제 5 래퍼(235) 및 제 6 래퍼(236) 는 다공질 권지 또는 무다공질 권지일 수 있다. 예를 들어, 제 1 래퍼(231)의 두께는 약 61μm이고 기공도는 약 15CU일 수 있고, 제 2 래퍼(232)의 두께는 약 63μm이고 기공도는 약 15CU일 수 있으나, 이에 제한되지 않는다. 또한, 제 5 래퍼(235)의 두께는 약 66μm이고 기공도는 약 10CU일 수 있고, 제 6 래퍼(236)의 두께는 66μm이고 기공도는 약 17CU일 수 있으나, 이에 제한되지 않는다.The first wrapper 231, the second wrapper 232, the fifth wrapper 235, and the sixth wrapper 236 may be manufactured by a general winding paper. For example, the first wrapper 231, the second wrapper 232, the fifth wrapper 235, and the sixth wrapper 236 may be porous wrappers or porous wrappers. For example, the thickness of the first wrapper 231 may be about 61 μm and the porosity may be about 15 CU, and the thickness of the second wrapper 232 may be about 63 μm and the porosity may be about 15 CU, but is not limited thereto. . In addition, the fifth wrapper 235 may have a thickness of about 66 μm and a porosity of about 10 CU, and the sixth wrapper 236 may have a thickness of 66 μm and a porosity of about 17 CU, but is not limited thereto.
또한, 제 1 래퍼(231) 및/또는 제 2 래퍼(232)의 안쪽 면에는 알루미늄 포일이 더 포함될 수도 있다. In addition, an aluminum foil may be further included on the inner surfaces of the first wrapper 231 and / or the second wrapper 232.
제 3 래퍼(233) 및 제 4 래퍼(234)는 하드 권지로 제작될 수 있다. 예를 들어, 제 3 래퍼(233)의 두께는 약 158μm이고 기공도는 약 33CU일 수 있고, 제 4 래퍼(234)의 두께는 약 155μm이고 기공도는 약 46CU일 수 있으나, 이에 제한되지 않는다.The third wrapper 233 and the fourth wrapper 234 may be manufactured by hard winding. For example, the thickness of the third wrapper 233 may be about 158 μm and the porosity may be about 33 CU, and the thickness of the fourth wrapper 234 may be about 155 μm and the porosity may be about 46 CU, but is not limited thereto. .
제 5 래퍼(235) 및 제 6 래퍼(236)는 소정의 물질이 내첨될 수 있다. 여기에서, 소정의 물질의 예로서는 실리콘이 해당될 수 있으나, 이에 한정되지 않는다. 예를 들어, 실리콘은 온도에 따른 변화가 적은 내열성, 산화되지 않는 내산화성, 각종 약품에 대한 저항성, 물에 대한 발수성, 또는 전기 절연성 등의 특성을 갖는다. 다만, 실리콘이 아니더라도, 상술한 특성들을 갖는 물질이라면 제한 없이 제 5 래퍼(235) 및 제 6 래퍼(236)에 도포(또는, 코팅)될 수 있다.The fifth wrapper 235 and the sixth wrapper 236 may be embedded with a predetermined material. Here, silicon may be used as an example of the predetermined material, but is not limited thereto. For example, silicon has characteristics such as heat resistance with little change with temperature, oxidation resistance without oxidation, resistance to various chemicals, water repellency for water, or electrical insulation. However, even if not silicon, any material having the above-described characteristics may be applied (or coated) to the fifth wrapper 235 and the sixth wrapper 236 without limitation.
제 5 래퍼(235) 및 제 6 래퍼(236)는 궐련(2)이 연소되는 현상을 방지할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 담배 로드(210)가 히터(130)에 의하여 가열되면, 궐련(2)이 연소될 가능성이 있다. 구체적으로, 담배 로드(210)에 포함된 물질들 중 어느 하나의 발화점 이상으로 온도가 상승될 경우, 궐련(2)이 연소될 수 있다. 이러한 경우에도, 제 5 래퍼(235) 및 제 6 래퍼(236)는 불연성 물질을 포함하므로, 궐련(2)이 연소되는 현상이 방지될 수 있다.The fifth wrapper 235 and the sixth wrapper 236 may prevent the cigarette 2 from burning. For example, when the tobacco rod 210 is heated by the heater 130, there is a possibility that the cigarette 2 is burned. Specifically, when the temperature rises above the flash point of any one of the materials included in the tobacco rod 210, the cigarette 2 may be burned. Even in this case, since the fifth wrapper 235 and the sixth wrapper 236 include a non-combustible material, the phenomenon in which the cigarette 2 is burned can be prevented.
또한, 제 5 래퍼(235)는 궐련(2)에서 생성되는 물질들에 의하여 홀더(1)가 오염되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 사용자의 퍼프에 의하여, 궐련(2) 내에서 액체 물질들이 생성될 수 있다. 예를 들어, 궐련(2)에서 생성된 에어로졸이 외부 공기에 의하여 냉각됨으로써, 액체 물질들(예를 들어, 수분 등)이 생성될 수 있다. 제 5 래퍼(235)가 담배 로드(210) 및/또는 제 1 필터 세그먼트(221)를 포장함에 따라, 궐련(2) 내에서 생성된 액체 물질들이 궐련(2)의 외부로 새어 나가는 것이 방지될 수 있다. 따라서, 홀더(1)의 내부가 궐련(2)에서 생성된 액체 물질들에 의하여 오염되는 현상이 방지될 수 있다.In addition, the fifth wrapper 235 may prevent the holder 1 from being contaminated by materials generated from the cigarette 2. By the puff of the user, liquid substances can be produced in the cigarette 2. For example, the aerosol produced in the cigarette 2 is cooled by the outside air, whereby liquid substances (eg moisture) can be produced. As the fifth wrapper 235 packs the tobacco rod 210 and / or the first filter segment 221, it is possible to prevent liquid substances produced in the cigarette 2 from leaking out of the cigarette 2. Can be. Therefore, the phenomenon in which the inside of the holder 1 is contaminated by the liquid substances produced in the cigarette 2 can be prevented.
궐련(2)의 직경은 5mm 내지 9mm의 범위 이내이고, 길이는 약 48mm일 수 있으나, 이에 한정되지 않는다. 예를 들어, 담배 로드(210)의 길이는 약 12mm, 제 1 필터 세그먼트(221)의 길이는 약 10mm, 냉각 구조물(222)의 길이는 약 14mm, 제 2 필터 세그먼트(223)의 길이는 약 12mm일 수 있으나, 이에 한정되지 않는다.The diameter of the cigarette 2 is within the range of 5mm to 9mm, the length may be about 48mm, but is not limited thereto. For example, the length of the tobacco rod 210 is about 12 mm, the length of the first filter segment 221 is about 10 mm, the length of the cooling structure 222 is about 14 mm, and the length of the second filter segment 223 is about 12 mm, but is not limited thereto.
도 2에 도시된 궐련(2)의 구조는 일 예에 불과하며, 일부 구성이 생략될 수 있다. 예를 들어, 궐련(2)에는 제 1 필터 세그먼트(221), 냉각 구조물(222) 및 제 2 필터 세그먼트(223) 중 하나 이상이 포함되지 않을 수 있다.The structure of the cigarette 2 shown in FIG. 2 is merely an example, and some configurations may be omitted. For example, the cigarette 2 may not include one or more of the first filter segment 221, the cooling structure 222, and the second filter segment 223.
담배 로드(210)는 에어로졸 생성 물질을 포함한다. 예를 들어, 에어로졸 생성 물질은 글리세린, 프로필렌 글리콜, 에틸렌 글리콜, 디프로필렌 글리콜, 디에틸렌 글리콜, 트리에틸렌 글리콜, 테트라에틸렌 글리콜 및 올레일 알코올 중 적어도 하나를 포함할 수 있다.

도 4를 참조하면, 마우스피스(400)는 중심부(410) 및 외곽부(420)로 구성될 수 있다. 마우스피스(400)의 일 측부는 필터 세그먼트(예를 들어, 냉각 세그먼트 등)와 결합할 수 있으며, 타 측부는 사용자의 입술이 닿는 부분일 수 있다.Referring to FIG. 4, the mouthpiece 400 may include a central portion 410 and an outer portion 420. One side of the mouthpiece 400 may be combined with a filter segment (eg, a cooling segment), and the other side may be a portion where the user's lips touch.
일 실시예에서, 중심부(410)는 원통형 구조일 수 있고, 외곽부(420)는 중공을 포함하는 튜브형 구조일 수 있다. 이 때, 중심부(410)는 외곽부(420)의 중공에 위치할 수 있다.In one embodiment, the central portion 410 may be a cylindrical structure, and the outer portion 420 may be a tubular structure including a hollow. In this case, the central portion 410 may be located in the hollow of the outer portion 420.
마우스피스(400)의 중심부(410)는 비압축 고분자 물질로 형성되고, 외곽부(420)는 압축 고분자 물질로 형성될 수 있다. 예를 들어, 고분자 물질은 셀룰로오스 아세테이트, 종이 또는 필름일 수 있으나, 이에 제한되지 않는다. 바람직하게, 중심부(410)는 비압축 셀룰로오스 아세테이트로 형성되고, 외곽부(342)는 셀룰로오스 아세테이트로 형성될 수 있다.The central portion 410 of the mouthpiece 400 may be formed of an incompressible polymer material, and the outer portion 420 may be formed of a compressed polymer material. For example, the polymeric material may be, but is not limited to, cellulose acetate, paper, or film. Preferably, the central portion 410 may be formed of uncompressed cellulose acetate, and the outer portion 342 may be formed of cellulose acetate.
고분자 물질을 스팀으로 압착시키거나 고착화함으로써 압축시킬 수 있다. 압축 고분자 물질로 형성된 외곽부(420)는, 비압축 고분자 물질로 형성된 중심부(410)보다 충진 밀도 및 경도가 더 크다.The polymeric material can be compressed by compressing or solidifying with steam. The outer portion 420 formed of the compressed polymer material has a higher packing density and hardness than the central portion 410 formed of the uncompressed polymer material.
마우스피스(400)를 비압축 고분자 물질로 형성된 중심부(410)와 중심부를 감싸는 압축 고분자 물질로 형성함으로써, 마우스피스(400)의 복원력 및 탄성력을 향상시킬 수 있다. 즉, 사용자가 궐련의 마우스피스(400)를 물고 흡연할 때, 마우스피스(400)에 대한 감성품질을 향상시킬 수 있다.The mouthpiece 400 may be formed of a central portion 410 formed of an uncompressed polymer material and a compressed polymer material surrounding the central portion, thereby improving the restoring force and the elastic force of the mouthpiece 400. That is, when the user bites and smokes the mouthpiece 400 of the cigarette, it is possible to improve the emotional quality for the mouthpiece 400.
도 5a 내지 도 5b는 일 실시예에 따른 가향 요소를 포함하는 마우스피스의 사시도이다.5A-5B are perspective views of a mouthpiece including a steering element according to one embodiment.
도 5a 내지 도 5b를 참조하면, 마우스피스는 중심부(511, 712) 및 외곽부(521, 522)로 구성될 수 있다. 또한, 마우스피스는 가향 요소(531, 532)를 더 포함할 수 있다.5A through 5B, the mouthpiece may include a central portion 511 and 712 and an outer portion 521 and 522. In addition, the mouthpiece may further comprise flavoring elements 531, 532.
가향 요소(531, 532)의 가향액은 감초, 자당, 과당 시럽, 이소감미제(isosweet), 코코아, 라벤더, 시나몬, 카르다몸, 셀러리, 호로파, 카스카릴라, 백단, 베르가못, 제라늄, 벌꿀 에센스, 장미 오일, 바닐라, 레몬 오일, 오렌지 오일, 민트 오일, 계피, 케러웨이, 코냑, 자스민, 카모마일, 멘톨, 계피, 일랑일랑, 샐비어, 스피어민트, 생강, 고수 또는 커피 등을 포함할 수 있다.The fragrance of flavor elements 531, 532 is licorice, sucrose, fructose syrup, isosweet, cocoa, lavender, cinnamon, cardamom, celery, fenugreek, cascarilla, sandalwood, bergamot, geranium, honey essence , Rose oil, vanilla, lemon oil, orange oil, mint oil, cinnamon, caraway, cognac, jasmine, chamomile, menthol, cinnamon, ylang-ylang, sage, spearmint, ginger, coriander or coffee and the like.
일 실시예에서 가향 요소(531)는 캡슐 또는 필름 형태일 수 있다. 즉, 가향 요소(531)의 가향액은 캡슐에 둘러싸이거나, 필름 소재에 도포(또는 코팅)됨으로써 중심부(511) 내부에 포함될 수 있다. 예를 들어, 캡슐의 피막은 한천(agar), 펙틴(pectin), 알긴산 나트륨(sodium alginate), 카라기난(carrageenan), 젤라틴 또는 구아검 등의 검류 등으로 제조될 수 있다. 또한, 캡슐의 피막을 형성하는 재료로서 경화 조제(助劑)가 더 이용될 수도 있다. 여기에서, 겔화 조제로서는, 예를 들면, 염화 칼슘군 등이 사용될 수 있다. 또한, 캡슐의 피막을 형성하는 재료로서 가소제가 더 이용될 수도 있다. 여기에서, 가소제로서는 글리세린 및/또는 소르비톨이 이용될 수 있다. 또한, 캡슐의 피막을 형성하는 재료로서 착색료가 더 이용될 수도 있다. 또한, 필름 소재는 폴리락트산(PLA)일 수 있으나, 이에 제한되지 않는다. 캡슐은 구형 또는 원통형의 형상을 가질 수 있다.In one embodiment the flavor element 531 may be in the form of a capsule or a film. That is, the fragrance liquid of the fragrance element 531 may be included in the central portion 511 by being enclosed in a capsule or coated (or coated) on a film material. For example, the capsule's coating may be made of agar, pectin, sodium alginate, carrageenan, gelatin or guar gum, and the like. Moreover, a hardening adjuvant may further be used as a material which forms the film of a capsule. Here, the calcium chloride group etc. can be used as a gelling adjuvant, for example. In addition, a plasticizer may be further used as a material for forming the capsule film. Here, glycerin and / or sorbitol may be used as the plasticizer. Moreover, a coloring agent may further be used as a material which forms the film of a capsule. In addition, the film material may be polylactic acid (PLA), but is not limited thereto. The capsule may have a spherical or cylindrical shape.
다른 실시예에서 가향 요소(531, 532)는 섬유가닥 또는 섬유다발 형태일 수 있다. 즉, 가향 요소(531, 532)의 가향액은 섬유가닥에 도포될 수 있고, 가향액이 도포된 섬유가닥 또는 섬유가닥의 묶음인 섬유다발이 중심부(511, 712)에 포함될 수 있다.In other embodiments, the flavor elements 531, 532 may be in the form of fiber strands or fiber bundles. That is, the fragrance liquid of the fragrance elements 531 and 532 may be applied to the fiber strands, and the fiber bundle to which the fragrance liquid is applied or the bundle of fibers which is a bundle of the fiber strands may be included in the central portion 511 and 712.
또한, 다른 실시예에서 마우스피스를 제작하는 과정에서, 마우스피스에 가향액을 분사함으로써 향미가 발생되도록 제작될 수도 있다. In addition, in the process of manufacturing the mouthpiece in another embodiment, the flavor may be produced by spraying the flavor liquid on the mouthpiece.
담배 로드가 가열됨에 따라 생성된 에어로졸은 냉각 세그먼트를 통과하며 냉각되고, 냉각된 에어로졸이 마우스피스를 통하여 사용자에게 전달된다. 따라서, 마우스피스에 가향 요소(531, 532)가 첨가되는 경우, 사용자에게 전달되는 향미의 지속성이 증진되는 효과가 발생될 수 있다.As the tobacco rod is heated, the resulting aerosol cools through the cooling segment and the cooled aerosol is delivered to the user through the mouthpiece. Therefore, when the flavor elements 531 and 532 are added to the mouthpiece, the effect of enhancing the persistence of the flavor delivered to the user may be generated.
한편, 가향 요소(531, 532)가 마우스피스에 존재하는 경우, 가향 요소(531, 532)의 가향액이 마우스피스를 감싸는 래퍼에 침투되어 종이의 강도, 물성 등이 약화될 수 있다. 특히, 가향 요소(531)가 캡슐 형태로 마우스피스에 존재하는 경우, 사용자에 의해 캡슐에 압력이 가해져 캡슐이 파쇄되면, 캡슐 내부의 가향액이 마우스피스를 감싸는 래퍼에 침투될 수 있다.On the other hand, when the fragrance elements 531 and 532 are present in the mouthpiece, the fragrance liquid of the fragrance elements 531 and 532 may penetrate into the wrapper surrounding the mouthpiece, thereby weakening the strength, physical properties, and the like of the paper. In particular, when the fragrance element 531 is present in the mouthpiece in the form of a capsule, when a pressure is applied to the capsule by the user and the capsule is broken, the fragrance liquid inside the capsule may penetrate the wrapper surrounding the mouthpiece.
이 때, 마우스피스를 이중지지 구조 즉, 중심부(511, 712) 및 외곽부(521, 522)로 구성함으로써 가향액이 래퍼에 침투되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 즉, 중심부(511, 712)를 비압축 고분자 물질로 형성하는 대신 외곽부(521, 522)를 충진밀도가 높은 압축 고분자 물질로 형성함으로써, 중심부(511, 712) 내부에 위치한 가향 요소(531, 532)의 가향액이 마우스피스를 감싸는 래퍼에 침투하는 것을 방지할 수 있다.At this time, the mouthpiece is composed of a dual support structure, that is, the central portions 511 and 712 and the outer portions 521 and 522, thereby preventing the perfume solution from penetrating into the wrapper. In other words, instead of forming the central portions 511 and 712 of an incompressible polymer material, the outer portions 521 and 522 are formed of a compressed polymer material having a high packing density. Perfume of 532 can be prevented from penetrating the wrapper surrounding the mouthpiece.
도 6은 일 실시예에 따른 천공이 형성된 지지 세그먼트를 포함하는 궐련의 단면도이다.6 is a cross-sectional view of a cigarette including a perforated support segment according to one embodiment.
도 6을 참조하면, 궐련(600)은 담배 로드(610), 제 1 지지 세그먼트(620), 제 2 지지 세그먼트(630) 및 마우스피스(640)를 포함할 수 있다. 그러나 이는 예시일 뿐이며, 궐련(600)은 도 6에 도시된 구성(610 내지 640) 외에 다른 구성이 더 포함되거나, 도 6에 도시된 구성(610 내지 640) 중 일부가 생략될 수도 있다.Referring to FIG. 6, the cigarette 600 may include a tobacco rod 610, a first support segment 620, a second support segment 630, and a mouthpiece 640. However, this is only an example, and the cigarette 600 may further include other configurations in addition to the configurations 610 to 640 illustrated in FIG. 6, or some of the configurations 610 to 640 illustrated in FIG. 6 may be omitted.
이하에서는 설명의 편의상 도 3와 중복되는 내용은 생략하기로 한다.Hereinafter, for convenience of description, content overlapping with FIG. 3 will be omitted.
일 실시예에서 담배 로드(610)의 하류 말단에 제 1 지지 세그먼트(620)가 위치하고, 제 1 지지 세그먼트(620)의 하류 말단에 제 2 지지 세그먼트(630)가 위치하며, 제 2 지지 세그먼트(630)의 하류 말단에 마우스피스(640)가 위치할 수 있으나, 궐련(600)을 구성하는 복수의 세그먼트의 배치 구조는 이에 제한되지 않는다.In one embodiment a first support segment 620 is located at a downstream end of the tobacco rod 610, a second support segment 630 is located at a downstream end of the first support segment 620, and a second support segment ( The mouthpiece 640 may be located at a downstream end of the 630, but the arrangement structure of the plurality of segments constituting the cigarette 600 is not limited thereto.
제 1 지지 세그먼트(620) 및 제 2 지지 세그먼트(630)는 내부에 중공을 포함하는 튜브 형태의 구조물일 수 있다. 제 2 지지 세그먼트(630)는 제 1 지지 세그먼트(620) 보다 큰 내경을 가질 수 있다. 일 실시예에서 제 1 지지 세그먼트(620)의 직경은 7mm 내지 9mm일 수 있고, 내경은 약 2.0mm 내지 4.5mm일 수 있다. 제 2 지지 세그먼트(630)의 직경은 7mm 내지 9mm일 수 있고, 내경은 약 3.0mm 내지 5.5mm일 수 있고, 예를 들어 4.0mm일 수 있다.The first support segment 620 and the second support segment 630 may be a tube-shaped structure including a hollow therein. The second support segment 630 may have a larger inner diameter than the first support segment 620. In one embodiment, the diameter of the first support segment 620 may be 7 mm to 9 mm, and the inner diameter may be about 2.0 mm to 4.5 mm. The diameter of the second support segment 630 may be 7mm to 9mm, the inner diameter may be about 3.0mm to 5.5mm, for example 4.0mm.
제 2 지지 세그먼트(630)의 내경은 제 1 지지 세그먼트(620)의 내경 보다 큰 수치를 가짐으로써, 제 1 지지 세그먼트(620)의 중공을 통과한 공기는 제 2 지지 세그먼트(630)의 중공에 유입되며 확산될 수 있다. 제 2 지지 세그먼트(630)의 중공에서 확산된 공기는 궐련(600)의 하류 방향으로의 편향성이 감소됨에 따라 천공(631)을 통해 유입된 외부 공기와의 접촉 면적 및 접촉 시간이 증가될 수 있다. 이에 따라 냉각 효과가 향상될 수 있다.The inner diameter of the second support segment 630 has a larger value than the inner diameter of the first support segment 620, such that air passing through the hollow of the first support segment 620 is disposed in the hollow of the second support segment 630. It can be introduced and diffused. The air diffused in the hollow of the second support segment 630 may increase the contact area and the contact time with the outside air introduced through the perforation 631 as the deflection in the downstream direction of the cigarette 600 is reduced. . Accordingly, the cooling effect can be improved.
제 2 지지 세그먼트(630)의 적어도 일부에는 천공(631)이 형성될 수 있다. 제 2 지지 세그먼트(630) 내부의 중공은 셀룰로오스 아세테이트로 구성된 벽에 의해 둘러싸일 수 있으며, 셀룰로오스 아세테이트로 구성된 벽에는 천공(631)이 형성될 수 있다. Perforations 631 may be formed in at least a portion of the second support segment 630. The hollow inside the second support segment 630 may be surrounded by a wall of cellulose acetate, and a perforation 631 may be formed in the wall of cellulose acetate.
일 실시예에서 천공(631)은 제 2 지지 세그먼트(630)의 하류 말단으로부터 상류 방향으로 5mm 내지 25mm, 바람직하게는 15mm 내지 20mm 이격된 위치에 형성될 수 있다. 또한, 천공(631)은 4개 내지 10개의 홀(hole)로 구성될 수 있고, 예를 들어, 천공(631)은 4개, 6개 또는 8개의 홀로 구성될 수 있다. 그러나, 천공(631)의 위치 및 천공(631)을 구성하는 홀의 개수는 이에 제한되지 않는다.In one embodiment the perforation 631 may be formed at a position 5 mm to 25 mm, preferably 15 mm to 20 mm, in the upstream direction from the downstream end of the second support segment 630. In addition, the perforation 631 may be composed of four to ten holes, for example, the perforation 631 may be composed of four, six or eight holes. However, the position of the punches 631 and the number of holes constituting the punches 631 are not limited thereto.
사용자가 궐련(600)을 흡입할 때, 외부 공기는 천공(631)을 통해 제 2 지지 세그먼트(630)의 중공으로 유입되어 마우스피스(640)로 이동할 수 있다. 이 때, 마우스피스(640)는 비압축 고분자 물질로 형성된 중심부(641)와 중심부를 감싸는 압축 고분자 물질로 형성된 외곽부(642)를 포함하는데, 천공(631)을 통해 유입된 공기가 마우스피스(640)를 통과할 때, 중심부(641) 쪽으로 집중되어 이동한다. 즉, 흡인 저항이 상대적으로 낮은 중심부(641) 쪽으로 공기가 집중됨으로써, 에어로졸의 이행량이 감소하는 것을 방지할 수 있다.When the user inhales the cigarette 600, the outside air may enter the hollow of the second support segment 630 through the perforation 631 and move to the mouthpiece 640. In this case, the mouthpiece 640 includes a central portion 641 formed of an incompressible polymer material and an outer portion 642 formed of a compressed polymer material surrounding the central portion, wherein air introduced through the perforation 631 is introduced into the mouthpiece ( As it passes 640, it is concentrated and moved toward the center 641. That is, by concentrating air toward the center portion 641 where the suction resistance is relatively low, it is possible to prevent the migration amount of the aerosol from decreasing.
한편, 천공(631)을 통해 외부로부터 유입된 공기는 담배 로드(610) 말단으로부터 유입된 공기와 합류할 수 있다. 즉, 사용자가 궐련(600)을 흡입할 때, 담배 로드(610) 말단으로부터 유입된 공기뿐만 아니라, 제 2 지지 세그먼트(630)의 천공(631)을 통해 유입된 공기가 사용자에게 전달됨으로써 에어로졸의 이행량을 증가시킬 수 있다.On the other hand, the air introduced from the outside through the perforation 631 may join the air introduced from the tobacco rod 610 end. That is, when the user inhales the cigarette 600, not only the air introduced from the cigarette rod 610 end but also the air introduced through the perforation 631 of the second support segment 630 is delivered to the user, thereby providing the aerosol. You can increase the amount of transition.
