This application is a U.S. National Phase application under 35 U.S.C. § 371 of International Application No. PCT/CN2018/111602 filed on Oct. 24, 2018, which claims priority to Chinese Application No. 201810970483.6 filed on Aug. 24, 2018. The entire contents of these applications are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a cooling cigarette filter and a cigarette, and belongs to the field of cigarette manufacturing.
A heat-not-burn cigarette heats tobacco substances through an external heating element, tobacco shreds or slices are only heated without burning, and an atomizing medium in the cigarette, flavor ingredients in the tobacco and additional flavor substances are heated to produce smoke, so the release of harmful chemical ingredients in the smoke is significantly reduced. At present, the mainstream heat-not-burn cigarettes on the market include iQOS from Philip Morris and glo from British American Tobacco. After the two kinds of cigarettes reach atomization temperatures under condition of heating at 250-350° C., the temperature of high-temperature atomized smoke entering the mouth through a filter section will be higher than the burning temperature of ordinary cigarettes, so that the smoke entering the mouth is too hot, and there are great differences from traditional cigarettes in terms of smoking experience, smoking feeling, etc.
The existing technologies mainly cool the high-temperature smoke flowing longitudinally through phase change cooling materials, for example, the materials for cooling sections of iQOS are mainly creased, pleated, aggregated and folded polylactic acid (PLA) sheets. The lengths of cigarette filters and the phase change cooling materials are limited, and the smoke flows relatively fast, so that it is difficult to cool the materials. The lateral heat transfer of the overheated smoke passing through the cigarette filter makes a consumer feel hot when smoking. In addition, the PLA sheets of the phase change cooling materials will melt after contacting the high-temperature smoke, so that smoke channels are blocked, which affects the cooling effect of the materials and even significantly reduces the amount of smoke.
Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cooling and low-filtering cigarette filter capable of effectively reducing the temperature of smoke of a heat-not-burn cigarette and improving the sensory quality of the smoke, and a heat-not-burn cigarette. The present invention solves such problems.
In view of the shortcomings of the existing technologies, the present invention provides a cooling cigarette filter and a cigarette to significantly reduce the temperature of high-temperature smoke entering the mouth and further improve and promote the smoking experience.
In order to solve the above technical problem, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
A cooling cigarette filter includes a cooling section, the cooling section includes a cooling stick formed from paper, the cooling stick has one or more holes communicating two ends of the cooling stick, and the holes are formed by paper which is repeatedly bended or folded in a cylindrical space; the surface of the paper is coated with a cooling material, and the coating amount of the cooling material is at least 15% of the total weight of the paper, generally 15% to 80%, further 20% to 70%, and preferably 30% to 60%.
By such a structural design, smoke to be cooled enters the cooling stick and then fully contacts the coated cooling material to exchange heat, and the heat of the smoke is transferred to the cooling material, so that the temperature of the smoke is lowered. In addition, the cooling stick has holes communicating its two ends, so the suction resistance is small, the smoke can pass easily, and the absorption of the smoke by the cooling stick is significantly reduced. The coating amount of the cooling material can be selected according to the cooling needs. Considering the cooling effect, the effect of smoke adsorption and the cost comprehensively, the applicant has found after repeated trials that the coating amount of the cooling material must reach a certain amount to achieve the cooling effect and entrap low smoke, and when the coating amount of the cooling material is less than 15%, good cooling effects cannot be achieved, and more smoke will be entrapped.
Compared with the existing cooling cigarette filters, first, the cooling stick of the present invention is mainly made of paper, and due to poor thermal conductivity of the paper, the heat absorbed by the cooling material is not easily transferred to the suction end fast, which can prevent burning the smoker; second, for a heat-not-burn cigarette, not matter whether it is central heating or surrounding heating, a large amount of water vapor will be generated during the first three puffs, and the high-temperature water vapor entering the mouth will condense and release a lot of heat, so that the hot feeling of the mouth (especially the tongue) is obviously enhanced, while the paper cooling stick of the present invention has good water vapor adsorption capacity, and can effectively adsorb water vapor, enhance the taste of the first three puffs and improve the smoking experience; third, after the cooling material is coated on the paper, the adsorption of particulate matters such as tar by the corresponding part of the paper can be reduced, so the cooling cigarette filter of the present invention adsorbs a very small amount of particulate matters in the smoke, which is beneficial to improving the smoking experience; in addition, the cooling cigarette filter of the present invention also has the cost advantage; taking the cost of the cooling stick as an example, during batch manufacturing, the manufacturing cost of each PLA honeycomb cooling stick is RMB 7 to 8 cents, the manufacturing cost of each PLA flaky cooling stick is RMB 2 to 3 cents, while the manufacturing cost of each cooling stick of the present application is only RMB 0.4 cents.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the cooling stick is formed by repeatedly bending the paper in a certain direction.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the cooling stick is formed by irregularly and repeatedly bending the paper, and the bending direction of the paper is irregular when viewed from the cross section.
Preferably, there are multiple holes.
Further, the cross section of the hole is irregular.
Further, one or both surfaces of the paper have multiple concave-convex lines, preferably folded lines. In this way, it can be ensured that the two ends of each hole are always communicated, and the smoke flows through each hole, which can reduce the suction resistance, fully exert the cooling effect of the cooling material, and reduce the adsorption of particulate matters in the smoke by the paper stick.
Further, the depth of the lines is 0.1 to 3 mm, and preferably, the interval between the adjacent lines is 0.5 to 15 mm.
Further, the paper is one of cellulose paper, coated paper and wrap paper, and preferably, the basis weight of the paper is 40 to 100 g/m2. These types of paper have poor smoke adsorption capacity, can reduce smoke loss and improve the smoking experience, and are especially suitable for heat-not-burn cigarettes.
Further, the total specific surface area of the one or more holes is 10% to 50%, generally 15% to 40%, and preferably 20% to 35% of the surface area of the paper.
Further, the coating area of the cooling material on the surface of the paper is 50% to 100% of the surface area of the paper. The cooling material can be coated on one side or on both sides of the paper.
Further, one or both sides of the paper are coated with the cooling material.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the surface of the paper has a coating region coated with the cooling material and a blank region not coated with the cooling material, and the blank region and the coating region are distributed along the length of the cooling stick.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the cooling material is coated in at least two coating regions on a surface of the paper, and the coating regions are distributed along the length of the cooling stick. Accordingly, the coating regions can exert the cooling effect relatively independently to gradually cool the smoke, thereby improving the cooling effect. Further, different coating regions can be coated with different types of cooling materials.
Further, the cooling material is a phase change cooling material, which is preferably one or more of PEG (polyethylene glycol), polydextrose, and lactitol. The phase change cooling material has the ability of cooling. When the smoke passes through the cooling section, it fully contacts the cooling material, which can further improve the cooling effect.
Further, the PEG includes at least one of PEG-200, PEG-400, PEG-600, PEG-800, PEG-1000, PEG-1500, PEG-2000, PEG-4000, PEG-6000, PEG-8000, PEG-10000, and PEG-20000.
Further, the cooling material includes at least two of low molecular weight PEG, medium molecular weight PEG and high molecular weight PEG. The low molecular weight PEG includes one or more of PEG-200, PEG-400, PEG-600, and PEG-800; the medium molecular weight PEG includes PEG-1000, PEG-1500, PEG-2000, and PEG-4000; and the high molecular weight PEG includes one or more of PEG-6000, PEG-8000, PEG-10000, and PEG-20000. The applicant found after repeated trials that when the cooling material is formed by mixing two or three of low molecular weight PEG, medium molecular weight PEG and high molecular weight PEG, a good cooling effect often can be achieved, the amount of smoke entering the mouth is large, and the smoking experience is good; but when a certain molecular weight type of PEG is used alone, the desired cooling effect often cannot be achieved, the amount of smoke entering the mouth is small, and the smoking experience is poor. Preferably, in parts by mass, the cooling material includes 0-10 parts of low molecular weight PEG, 0-10 parts of medium molecular weight PEG and 0-10 parts of high molecular weight PEG, wherein the content of at most one of the low molecular weight PEG, the medium molecular weight PEG and the high molecular weight PEG is 0.
Further, the cooling stick is wrapped with wrap paper.
Further, the paper is rectangular when unfolded, which facilitates forming, and can also ensure that the cross-sectional areas of through holes in the length direction of the cooling stick are substantially the same after forming.
Further, a filter section is connected to one end of the cooling section, or two filter sections are respectively connected to two ends of the cooling section, and the filter section is preferably a cellulose acetate filter stick, and further preferably a special cellulose acetate filter stick which entraps low smoke.
Further, the filter section has a length of 5 to 9 mm, preferably 6 to 8 mm; and the cooling section has a length of 10 to 50 mm, preferably 16 to 35 mm.
Further, the cooling cigarette filter is a round stick, and further, has a perimeter of 17 to 24.2 mm.
The cooling cigarette filter of the present invention is especially suitable for heat-not-burn cigarettes. Generally, for central heating type heat-not-burn cigarettes and surrounding heat-not-burn cigarettes, the smoke temperature of the first three puffs is relatively high, reaching 60° C. or even more than 65° C. The cooling cigarette filter of the present invention can well meet the cooling needs, and can lower the temperature of smoke entering the mouth to about 46° C. to improve the smoking experience.
According to a preparation method of the above-mentioned cooling cigarette filter, the cooling material can be coated on the paper first, then the paper is fed into a forming machine to obtain a cooling stick, and the cooling stick is further processed to obtain the cooling cigarette filter.
Preferably, the tensile strength of the paper is more than 50 N/m to meet the stress requirements during the forming process.
Further, the paper coated with the cooling material is first cut into widths of 4 to 20 cm, the cut paper is pre-pressed with lines spaced by widths of 1 to 10 mm and having depths of 0.1 to 1.0 mm, then the pressed paper is fed into the forming machine to form the cooling stick, and the cooling stick is further processed to obtain the cooling cigarette filter. Further, the forming machine may be a ZL-23 forming machine.
A cigarette includes a smoke generation section and the above-mentioned cooling cigarette filter. Further, the cigarette is a heat-not-burn cigarette.
Further, the smoke generation section has a length of 10 to 70 mm, generally 10 to 50 mm, preferably 10 to 15 mm, and further preferably 11 to 13 mm.
Further, the smoke generation section is a tobacco strip composed of processed tobacco shreds or slices arranged in disorder.
The cooling section of the present invention has the characteristic of high temperature resistance (300-320° C.), the cooling section can be directly connected to the smoke generation section when the cigarette is designed, the melting and burning of the cooling section during smoking will not occur, and the cooling section still maintains its original shape, so the cigarette can be simplified to a three-section structure; the existing iQOS cigarette is designed to be in a four-section structure, its polylactic acid cooling section has poor high temperature resistance (melting point of 155-185° C.), is prone to completely melting when being directly connected to the smoke generation section, and cannot achieve the effect of cooling, so a high-temperature resistant diversion section should be disposed between the smoke generation section and the cooling section, wherein the temperature at the contact between the smoke generation section and the diversion section can reach about 220° C.
The cooling cigarette filter of the present invention has the advantages of ensuring the amount of smoke and lowering the temperature of the smoke entering the mouth, especially in the cooling section, through the combination design of the structure of the cooling stick and the type and amount of the cooling material, the smoke can flow out of the smoke generation section rapidly and smoothly, the temperature of the high-temperature smoke before entering the mouth can be significantly lowered, the amount of smoke is sufficient and the temperature is appropriate, thereby improving the comfort and satisfaction of smoking, and solving the problems of excessive water vapor, small amount of smoke and bad taste during the first three puffs of the existing heat-not-burn cigarettes; and the cooling cigarette filter has obvious cost advantage.
The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflicts. For ease of narrative, the terms “upper”, “lower”, “left” and “right” described below are only consistent with the upper, lower, left and right directions of the drawings, and do not limit the structure.
