DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The following is more detailed instruction about this invention with figures and specific implementation, the examples are only to explain this invention, not for limiting this invention.
This invention provides a disposable consumption for gas heating smoking article.
As shown in figure 1, a disposable consumption includes a housing 6 and a mouth piece 11, a filter 10 is placed inside the mouth piece 11. The housing 6 is in rod shape, front side of the housing 6 is sealed with an aluminum foil 2, thickness of the foil is 0.01 to 0.02 mm. When flame is ignited by premixed butane via a push button, center of the thin aluminum foil 2 is melted letting air flows in. The housing 6 is designed with cooling air hole 1, inhaling cool air to condense steam to generate more vapor. Inside the housing 6, a loose quartz fiber 3 is placed at each end of the housing, thus a chamber for filling tobacco 5 is formed by the two loose quartz fiber 3 and the housing. The chamber is filled with the mixture of secondary heating source 4, tobacco 5 and several soaking plates 7. Between the mouth piece 11 and rear end of the housing 6, there is a macro hole filter 9. A heating melt plastic plate 8 with several air flow micro holes is placed between the macro hole filter 9 and the quartz fiber 3. The tobacco 5 could be tobacco filament or tobacco sheet.
The secondary heating source 4 is made of carbon powder, reduced iron powder and adhesive compacted together, weight ratio of the carbon powder and the reduced iron powder is 1: 0.05-1: 0.4. The carbon powder has oxidation reaction with the reduced iron powder to consume oxygen. Wherein, the carbon powder consumes oxygen to generate carbon dioxide by micro combustion on the surface of the tobacco, and the reduced iron powder reacts with oxygen and vapor generated by gas burning. The two forms of oxidation reaction simultaneously release heat, to form the secondary heating source of the smoking article. Due to lack of oxygen in the chamber, the tobacco 5 therein does not participate combustion.
Preferably, the tobacco 5 in this embodiment is preprocessed. Making inorganic water solution, including 15%sodium chloride, 8%calcium chloride and 77%water; immersing the tobacco into double amount inorganic salt solution for 2 hours, drying on fluidized bed until water amount is less than 20%; spraying coking agent on tobacco filament or tobacco sheet; continue drying until water amount is less than 10%. Such coking agent is made of 1-7%sucrose, 1-2%dextrin, 1-3%curdlan gum, 0.2-0.8%peanut oil, and rest is water suspension. When the smoking article is smoked, water steam in the chamber meets inorganic salt on the tobacco and they melt together, the micro holes on surface of the tobacco are then sealed, therefore the tobacco will not participate combustion. The coking agent melt with heavy tar with big molecules from tobacco, to form high viscosity material; for the light tar with small molecules from tobacco, the majority of them are vaporized to form smoke.
Such soaking plate 7 is made of metal foil or graphene thermal conductive paper, preferably made of aluminum foil. Its purpose is to balance and distribute heat of the disposable consumption during heating, to prevent partly over heated. Length of the soaking plate 7 is 2-3 mm.
The smoke generated inside the housing 6 will be puffed through the quartz fiber 3, the heat melting plastic plate 8, the macro hole filter 9, the filter 10 and the mouth piece 11. Near the end of the smoking, vapor amount reduce and temperature rises, with high temperature, the heat melting plastic plate 8 is melted to close its micro holes, puffing is then stopped.
When smoker puffs, carbon dioxide and water steam with high temperature and high concentration flow through the loose quartz fiber 3, the tobacco 5 is heat preprocessed to generate vapor. With two heating sources, tobacco filament or tobacco sheet is surrounded by inert gas, which is carbon dioxide and nitrogen, tobacco in the disposable consumption will not burn, thus could decrease many harmful products due to tobacco combustion and thermal cracking like traditional cigarette, there is not hazard materials like heavy tar from traditional cigarette combustion.
As shown in figure 2, this invention provides another example of the disposable consumption, a disposable consumption with frontally placed secondary heating source. It includes a housing 206 and a mouth piece 211 with a filter 210. The housing 206 is in rod shape, front end of the housing 206 is designed with an aluminum foil 202 for sealing, with thickness of 0.01 to 0.02mm. The housing 206 is provided with three loose quartz fibers 203 located at front, middle and rear thereof. The front quartz fiber is next to the aluminum foil 202, a secondary heating source 204 is provided between the front fiber and the middle fiber, a chamber for filling tobacco 205 is formed and enclosed by the middle fiber, the rear fiber and the housing 206. The chamber is filled with the mixture of tobacco 205, several soaking plate 207 and multiple metal package 212. A macro hole filter 209 is provided between the rear end of the housing 206 and the mouth piece 211, a heat melting plastic plate 208 is provided between the macro hole filter 209 and the rear fiber, there are several micro holes on the heat melting plastic plate 208.
The secondary heating source 204 is designed with several air flow holes paralleled with housing’s 206 lengthwise direction, shaped in column with some holes. The secondary heating source 204 is compressed with carbon powder, reduced iron powder and little carboxymethylcellulose.
The tobacco 205 is preprocessed, contains inorganic salt and coking agents. The inorganic salt is 10-30%sodium chloride, 1-8%calcium chloride and water solution remained on tobacco after immerse and dry. Coking agent is a mixture with sucrose, wheat powder, curdlan gum and seaweed gum, its weight ratio is 2: 1: 1: 1. Preprocessing is the same as last example.

When smoking is ending, the temperature of vapor will rise, the heat melting plastic plate 208 will melt and close its micro holes, thus will stop the puff.
As shown in figure 3, it is another disposable consumption provided in this invention. The location of the secondary heating source is different from that in figure 1. The disposable consumption includes a housing 306 and a mouth piece 311 with a filter 310. The housing 306 is in rod shape, with a aluminum foil 302 for sealing provided at the front end, thickness of the foil is 0.01 to 0.02mm. The housing 306 is provided with two loose quartz fibers 303 at both front and rear ends, together with the housing to form a chamber for filling tobacco 305. The chamber is filled with the mixture of several secondary heating sources 304, tobacco 305 and several soaking plate 307. A macro hole filter 309 is provided between the mouth piece 311 and rear end of the housing 306. A heat melting plastic plate 308 is provided between the macro hole filter 309 and the quartz fiber 303, the heat melting plastic plate 308 is designed with multiple air flow micro holes. The tobacco 305 generates vapor that is puffed out through the heat melting plastic plate 308, the macro hole filter 309, the filter 310 and the mouth piece 311.
The described secondary heating source 304 is placed inside the housing 306, along lengthwise direction, to divide the chamber into two parts. The secondary heating source 304 is designed with several air flow holes paralleled with housing’s 306 lengthwise direction, shaped in column with some holes. The secondary heating source 304 is compressed with carbon powder, reduced iron powder and little carboxymethylcellulose.
As shown in figure 4, this invention provides a simplified disposable consumption for a smoking article. The disposable consumption includes a housing 406 and a mouth piece 411, a filter is placed inside the mouth piece. The housing 406 is in rod shape, front end of the housing 406 is sealed with an aluminum foil 402, with thickness of 0.01 to 0.02mm. Inside the housing 406, there are two loose quartz fibers 403 at both ends, forming a chamber for filling tobacco 405.
The tobacco 405 is preprocessed as described above. The spray preprocess can be optimized. Except for spraying coking agent on tobacco as mention above, reduced iron or carbon powder are also sprayed on the tobacco, to form micro combustion of the tobacco, to consume oxygen inside the chamber. From the result of usage, micro combustion of the reduced iron powder and/or carbon powder works as the usage of a secondary heating source.
