Filter element for smoking product
Technical field
It includes this that the present invention relates to a kind of for smoking product, the filter element such as cigarette, cigarlet and one kind The smoking product of kind filter element.
Background technique
The smoking product of cigarette, cigarlet etc. is popular consumer products, they usually have substantial cylindrical stick Columnar structure, and the smokeable materials such as broken tobacco including being enclosed by paper wrapper paper bag (for example, the form to cut filler) Charging, volume or column, form so-called " cigarette stick ".Cigarette or cigarlet, which are generally also provided with, to be aligned with end-to-end relationship with cigarette stick Cylinder shape filtering element.For example, filter element may include the filter stick of cellulose acetate tow, and tow is circumscribed with referred to as The lapping of " forming paper (plug wrap) ".In general, filter element uses referred to as " tipping paper (tipping wrapper) " External lapping be attached to one end of cigarette stick." cigarette holder element " is known as by the filter element of tipping paper package.
In recent years, consumer can be used as to volume to the smoking product for providing improved organoleptic attribute, particularly to being combined with The demand that the cigarette of the filter element of the carrier of flavor is added in the main flume of cigarette is continuously increased.Specifically, these are smoked Product can include the substance for changing flavor in broken pellet or capsule.In cigarette making process, filtering material is formed continuously Filter stick, this pellet or capsule be located in stick, for example, positioning along its longitudinal axis.Then, it separates at a predetermined interval Or the continuous filter stick of cutting, to form multiple filter elements, so that each filter element includes at least one capsule.So Afterwards, capsule is staved manually by consumer, so that the substance is by substance release into filtering material for changing main in smoking process Flow one or more characteristics of flue gas, such as flavor, taste or TNCO level (tar, nicotine, CO).
For this purpose, be used for the shell comprising substance to be released can broken capsule.Recently, this can be broken Capsule has started to be conceived to liquid release, and especially water discharges.However, this is likely to become problem, because of the liquid inclination of release In impregnating the filter element for being connected to the tipping paper of cigarette stick including filter stick wrapping paper and by filter element, this may cause liquid and lets out Leakage, this will affect the quality appearance of smoking product.
Type for discharging the capsule of liquid substance can also have an impact the degree of the problem.In general, can broken capsule With isotropic rupture resistance, this is converted into the specific fracture position that not can determine that capsule, and therefore not can determine that and held The substance received is released to the region in filter element.As a result, it is troublesome for mitigating leakage, because must be considered in all possibility Liquid on direction discharges to design smoking product.
In order to address this issue, it has been proposed that combining water absorption layer with fluid-tight filter stick wrapping paper and tipping paper. These are expensive, and increase the complexity of manufacturing process.Another problem of the program is, in order to ensure waterproof Property, therefore smoking product generally can not be for example, by passing through the perforation that tipping paper setting extends in filter stick wrapping paper and through cigarette Mouth element is ventilated, because this, which can be destroyed, is formed by waterproof barrier by wrapping paper.As a result, smokeable material must be passed through Mixture and the ventilating part of paper wrapper paper adjust that flavor, taste and TNCO are horizontal, this has more challenge, because of cigarette at cigarette stick Stick gradually uses up in smoking process.
