The present invention relates to a cigarette distillation and atomization device.
Cigarette is a strip-shaped smoking article made by using a cigarette paper to roll finely cut tobacco, and is also known as cigarette rolled in paper, tobacco cigarette, and roll of tobacco.
Currently, there are cigarettes with several lengths consisting of 84 mm, 100 mm, 90 mm, and 70 mm in a domestic cigarette market. With regard to the diameter, the diameter of most cigarettes produced by domestic cigarette manufacturers is 7.7 mm, and the diameter of imported cigarettes is 7.8 mm. An internationally popular cigarette specification refers to a length of 84 mm and a diameter of 7.8 mm, which is the optimal cigarette specification obtained through hundreds of years of smoker-based scientific experiments and calculations that are conducted in the world cigarette industry.
Smoke produced when a cigarette is burned and smoked can be divided into two parts including particles and gases, where matters that can be collected by a glass fiber filter or an electrostatic precipitation device are called a total particulate matter, and matters that cannot be collected are called gases. The weight of a main flow of smoke of each cigarette is about 500 mg, where 92% of the weight is occupied by a gas part consisting of about 58% of nitrogen, 12% of oxygen, 13% of carbon dioxide, 3.5% of carbon monoxide, 0.5% of hydrogen and argon, and 5% of vapor of water and low molecular organics, and about 8% is occupied by a particle part.
When a cigarette is burned and smoked, a great amount of chemical changes occur in an oxygen-deficiency and hydrogen-rich environment. When a cigarette is burned and smoked, a temperature distribution range can be generally classified into three areas:
(1) a high temperature area (600-900° C.), where combustion of organics generates an air flow caused by deficiency of oxygen, and carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and volatile hydrocarbons are mainly generated in this area;
(2) a pyrolysis, distillation, and atomization area (100-600° C.), where a hot air flow from the high temperature area enters this area and functions as energy to help the occurrence of reactions such as distillation and atomization, pyrolysis, and synthesis on various organics; most compounds are formed in this area; and these reactions are mainly endothermic reactions, causing a shape decline of a smoke temperature; and
(3) a low temperature area (below 100° C.), where light gases in the smoke are diffused into air by passing through the cigarette paper, and the air infiltrates into the interior of the cigarette to dilute the air flow, and declining of the smoke temperature is continued until the smoke temperature is slightly higher than a room temperature.
It can be known that most harmful substances produced during combustion of a cigarette are produced during high temperature combustion, and other substances attracting smokers can be diffused when the temperature is relatively low.
The present disclosure provides a cigarette distillation and atomization device, which may distil and atomize finely cut tobacco in a tobacco cigarette at a medium or low temperature, so as to diffuse fragrance of the finely cut tobacco and reduce production of harmful substances to the maximum extent, and provide a more healthy and environmentally friendly smoking manner for people that like smoking.
