Description

Manufacture is encapsulated the machine and method of product

Technical field

Embodiment described herein is related to the machine and correspondence of a kind of manufacture capsule comprising reagent manufacture and filter Method.

Specifically, embodiment described herein is related to a kind of machine for manufacturing and being encapsulated product, this is encapsulated product and can use In such as electronic cigarette or other vaporizations or flavour treatment equipment.

Background technique

The known product that is encapsulated for sucking or aspirate substance included in it, and can be used for such as electronic cigarette or its In his inhalation device, other inhalation devices be usually provided with the liquid for such as water or aqueous mixture reservoir, with And vaporization or atomizer device.The product that is encapsulated discussed generally includes container or capsule, and the container or capsule include fixed in advance The dosage of justice or the specific products or reagent substance of quantity, for example, tobacco or other substances to be sucked；And filter.User Generated suction or suction action generate suction air flow, wherein the liquid of evaporation or atomization has been drawn, to force the pumping Suck stream passes through the reagent substance.The channel extract or draw include flavoring substance in identical reagent substance and/or Then active constituent, the flavoring substance and/or active constituent are aspirated or are sucked by user.

In this capsule, product and filter are held in place by means of special closure elements, closing member Part prevents product and/or filter from leaving, but steam, smog and/or fragrance is allowed to lead to outside simultaneously.

For example, as it is known that capsule includes that the tobacco of doses and filter, the filter can be used for suitable equipment Or electronic cigarette, the capsule have the device of heating tobacco dosage.

The capsule manufacture discussed brings following problems: filter is cut into required precise length, and by its It is correctly inserted into capsule.

Filter is usually obtained from section of filter material, which is arranged in substantially cylindrical bar or stick, should Bar or stick are according to their function forming and are previously cut to required size, therefrom obtain multiple single filters, the list The length of a filter is that a part of the length of bar of single filter is made.

Therefore, bar must be cut into required size every time, wherein tolerance is minimum, both can be useless by any possible production Material and waste are reduced to minimum, and the function that can be executed for the bar obtains the optimal filter of length, and keeps correct It is contained in capsule, also for the space for being not take up other things.

Patent application WO-A1-2006/004111 describes the example of the machine of the known manufacture filter of one kind.The machine Device is especially suitable for manufacturing double means filters.Machine described in the document includes four feed hoppers, which uses In the component of supply filter；And equal number of drum, the drum are used to move for the component of filter to be transmitted to from bucket The system of filter.Multiple blades are associated with each drum, are cut into during being transmitted to mobile system with the component in filter The size of the component of filter.

One of the machine is the disadvantage is that the precision and accuracy of cutting operation are poor, therefore cannot obtain the bar of required length. In fact, cutting is carried out during drum upload passes through filter component, on the drum, according to known technology for example by being pneumatically System holding member.It should be readily understood that the position of the filter component on drum leads to bar relative to the minor change of required position Cutting accuracy and accuracy it is poor.

The machine and method for being encapsulated product therefore, it is necessary to obtain a kind of manufacture of the above-mentioned type allow quickly and automatic Ground executes filling and the operation of closed capsule.

In view of market demands, machine and method allow for supporting high production mechanism.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a kind of for obtaining the machine and method of capsule, which especially allows to obtain The filter of determined length and any possible production waste material and waste are reduced at least.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a kind of to be obtained completely within the very quick time with high quality level The machine and method of capsule.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide it is a kind of acquisition filter and fill and closed capsule equipment, the equipment Manufacture and use are simple and efficient.

Another object is that obtaining a kind of method and connection machine, the machine is easily fabricated, manages and maintains.

Another object is that obtaining a kind of machine and connection method, this method permission is obtained from bar or band is suitable for the purpose Filter and locate them in the capsule of required position.

Applicant has designed, tested and has implemented the shortcomings that present invention is to overcome the prior art and obtained these and its His objects and advantages.
