< 1. non-combustion heating type cigarette
A non-combustion heating cigarette (hereinafter, simply referred to as "non-combustion heating cigarette") according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a rod portion and a mouthpiece portion, and has a wrapping portion formed by wrapping these members with a tipping paper,
at least a portion of the tipping paper is coated with an anti-lip adhesion agent,
the wrapping section is composed of a first region and a second region in the longitudinal direction of the non-combustion heated cigarette, the first region including a mouth-side end of the non-combustion heated cigarette, the second region being located closer to the tobacco rod side of the wrapping section than the first region,
the first zone has a temperature of less than 230 ℃ during use of the non-combustion heated cigarette,
the first region and the second region satisfy the following condition (A),
(A) (the content of the lip adhesion preventing agent per unit area in the first region) > (the content of the lip adhesion preventing agent per unit area in the second region).
Fig. 1 shows an example of a non-combustion heating cigarette according to the above embodiment. Hereinafter, a non-combustion heating type cigarette will be described with reference to fig. 1. Note that, in fig. 1, the lip adhesion preventing agent is shown to be applied in a uniform concentration on the entirety of one side of the tipping paper, but is not limited thereto, and a concentration difference may be generated depending on the application position. As is the case in the other figures.
The h direction in fig. 1 is the longitudinal direction of the non-combustion heated cigarette.
The non-combustion heated cigarette is preferably a columnar shape having a shape satisfying an aspect ratio of 1 or more as defined below.
Aspect ratio h/w
w is the width of the bottom surface of the columnar body (in the present specification, the width of the bottom surface on the side of the tobacco rod side), h is the height, and h ≧ w is preferred. However, in the present specification, as described above, the long axis direction is defined as a direction indicated by h. Therefore, even in the case of w ≧ h, the direction indicated by h is referred to as the long axis direction for convenience. The shape of the bottom surface is not limited, and may be a polygon, a rounded polygon, a circle, an ellipse, or the like, and the width w is a diameter in the case of a circle, a major diameter in the case of an ellipse, or a diameter of a circumscribed circle or a major diameter of a circumscribed ellipse in the case of a polygon or a rounded polygon. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the bottom surface is a circle and thus can be regarded as the diameter thereof. The diameter is the width w and the length orthogonal thereto is the height h.
The length h in the longitudinal direction of the non-combustion heated cigarette is not particularly limited, and is, for example, usually 35mm or more, preferably 40mm or more, and more preferably 45mm or more. The thickness is usually 105mm or less, preferably 95mm or less, and more preferably 85mm or less.
The width w of the bottom surface of the columnar body of the non-combustion heating cigarette is particularly limited, and is, for example, usually 5mm or more, preferably 5.5mm or more. The thickness is usually 10mm or less, preferably 9mm or less, and more preferably 8mm or less.
Hereinafter, each component constituting the non-combustion heating type cigarette will be described.
< 1-1. roll-up section >
[ first and second regions of the roll-up portion ]
As shown in fig. 1, the wrapped section formed by wrapping the tobacco rod section 10 and the tobacco mouth section 11 with the tipping paper 12 is composed of a first region 12a and a second region 12 b. Note that, not shown in fig. 1, the tobacco rod portion 10 is formed by wrapping tobacco filler with wrapping paper as described later. Further, in this tipping paper, at least a part is coated with lip adhesion preventive agent 13.
The first region 12a is a region including a mouthpiece-side end portion of the non-combustion heated cigarette in a longitudinal direction of the non-combustion heated cigarette, and the second region 12b is a region located closer to the tobacco rod side of the wrapping portion than the first region. The first region and the second region are adjacent regions.
The first zone is a zone having a temperature of less than 230 ℃ when the non-combustion heated cigarette is in use.
This temperature is the highest temperature of the surface of the wound section in the first region measured by the method described later.
When the temperature of the first region is 230 ℃ or higher during use of the non-combustion heated cigarette, the lip adhesion preventing agent applied to the first region is excessively heated, and the amount of substances that give unnecessary influences to the flavor or the like increases.
The first region is preferably a region where the temperature is less than 120 ℃, more preferably a region where the temperature is less than 100 ℃, and even more preferably a region where the temperature is less than 80 ℃ when the non-combustion heated cigarette is in use. When the temperature is within the above range, the lip adhesion preventing agent applied to the first region is not excessively heated, and thus the amount of substances that exert an undesirable influence on the flavor and the like can be suppressed.
In addition, the first region and the second region satisfy the following condition (A),
(A) (the content of the lip adhesion preventing agent per unit area in the first region) > (the content of the lip adhesion preventing agent per unit area in the second region).
In fig. 1, the lip adhesion preventing agent in the first region is a portion shown by 13a, and the lip adhesion preventing agent in the second region is a portion shown by 13 b.
Note that the content of the lip blocking inhibitor per unit area in the first region is simply referred to as "the amount of the lip blocking inhibitor in the first region", and the content of the lip blocking inhibitor per unit area in the second region is simply referred to as "the amount of the lip blocking inhibitor in the second region". Note that the amount of the lip adhesion preventing agent per unit area in the second region is a value obtained by dividing the total amount of the lip adhesion preventing agent contained in the entire second region by the surface area of the entire second region.
In a conventional non-combustion heated cigarette, the entire surface of the side surface of the tipping paper which the lips of the user can contact (hereinafter, also referred to as the outer surface) is coated with a lip blocking preventive agent, and the concentration of the lip blocking preventive agent in the surface is changed, that is, the lip blocking preventive agent is not coated so as to satisfy the above condition (a). In this case, although the lip adhesion preventing property can be secured for the purpose of applying the lip adhesion preventing agent, when the non-combustion heating type cigarette is used, a part of the lip adhesion preventing agent is directly or indirectly heated by a heater member described later to generate a substance derived from the lip adhesion preventing agent, and therefore, the amount of the substance which exerts an unnecessary influence on the flavor cannot be suppressed.
On the other hand, when the lip adhesion preventing agent is applied so as to satisfy the condition (a), the lip adhesion preventing agent in the first region ensures the lip adhesion preventing property, and the amount of the lip adhesion preventing agent in the second region is smaller than the amount of the lip adhesion preventing agent in the first region, so that the amount of the lip adhesion preventing agent generated during use is reduced as compared with the conventional non-combustion heating type cigarette. Therefore, the amount of substances that undesirably affect the flavor can be suppressed.
The boundary 14 between the first region and the second region shown in fig. 1 is preferably located on the side of the mouth of the non-combustion heated cigarette with respect to the side of the mouth of the heater member that heats the non-combustion heated cigarette when the non-combustion heated cigarette is used.
The boundary between the first region and the second region may be defined as follows: a position 31.5 to 33.5mm, preferably 32.5mm, from the end of the suction port side in the longitudinal direction of the non-combustion heated cigarette; a position 26.5 to 28.5mm, preferably 27.5mm, from the side end of the suction port; a position 24.0 to 26.0mm, preferably 25.0mm, from the end of the suction port; a position 18.0 to 20.0mm, preferably 19.0mm, from the side end of the suction port; a position 16.0 to 17.9mm, preferably 17.0mm, from the side end of the suction port; a position 14.0 to 15.9mm, preferably 15.0mm, from the side end of the suction port; a position 12.0 to 13.9mm, preferably 13.0mm, from the side end of the suction port; a position 9.0 to 10.9mm, preferably 10.0mm, from the end of the suction port side.
By locating the boundary between the first region and the second region at the position described above, the lip adhesion preventing agent applied to the first region is not excessively heated, and the amount of substances that exert an undesirable influence on the fragrance or the like can be suppressed.
When the boundary between the first region and the second region is located at a position more than 32.5mm from the end of the suction port side in the longitudinal direction of the non-combustion heated cigarette, the lip adhesion preventing agent is heated excessively by a heater member of an electric heating device described later, and therefore the amount of substances that exert an undesirable influence on the flavor cannot be suppressed. On the other hand, in the case where the boundary between the first region and the second region is located at a position less than 10.0mm from the side end of the suction port in the longitudinal direction of the non-combustion heated cigarette, it is difficult to ensure the anti-blocking property.
When the non-fuel heating cigarette is used, the wrapping section of the non-combustion heating cigarette may be in contact with or not in contact with a heater member for heating the non-combustion heating cigarette. As a mode in which the package section is brought into contact with the heater member, a mode in which a non-combustion heated cigarette is heated by the heater member from the outer peripheral surface can be cited. In this case, the heater element is not in direct contact with the tobacco charge, and therefore has the advantage that maintenance of the heater element can be simplified. On the other hand, as a mode in which the winding section is not in contact with the heater member, a mode in which a non-combustion heated cigarette is heated from inside by the heater member can be cited. In this case, compared to a method of heating the outer peripheral surface of a non-combustion heating type cigarette, heat generated from the heater member is less likely to be dissipated to the outside, and therefore, there is an advantage that the heater temperature is easily increased.
[ Structure of the roll-up portion ]
The structure of the tipping paper constituting the wrapping section and the lip adhesion preventing agent coated thereon is not particularly limited. As shown in fig. 1, the lip blocking inhibitor is generally applied to the entire surface of one piece of tipping paper, but may be applied in the manner shown in the following descriptions of fig. 2(a) to (f) or in a combination thereof.
Fig. 2 (a): method for coating lip adhesion preventing agent on part of tipping paper
Fig. 2 (b): by not applying lip-blocking agents to a second region of a tipping paper
Fig. 2 (c): the mode that the concentration change slope of the lip adhesion preventing agent exists in the surface of a piece of tipping paper
Fig. 2 (d): the way that more than two pieces of tipping paper are overlapped and coated with lip adhesion preventing agent
Fig. 2 (e): overlapping two or more tipping papers and coating lip adhesion preventing agent on each tipping paper
Fig. 2 (f): a mode of overlapping a part of two or more pieces of tipping paper and coating the tipping paper with lip adhesion preventing agent
In these fig. 2(a) to (f), the embodiment of fig. 2(b) is preferable from the viewpoint that the amount of substances derived from the lip adhesion inhibitor generated during use can be reduced.
The degree of sizing in the first region of the roll-up portion is not particularly limited, and is usually 0.2 seconds or more, preferably 0.3 seconds or more, and more preferably 0.4 seconds or more, from the viewpoint of separation from the lips after use. On the other hand, it is usually 2.0 seconds or less, preferably 1.5 seconds or less, and more preferably 1.0 second or less.
The sizing degree in the second region of the roll-up portion is not particularly limited, and is usually 0.01 seconds or more, preferably 0.03 seconds or more, and more preferably 0.05 seconds or more, from the viewpoint of affecting the flavor. On the other hand, it is usually 0.20 seconds or less, preferably 0.15 seconds or less, and more preferably 0.10 seconds or less.
The sizing degree can be measured under the following conditions.
A measuring device: surface sizing degree tester Model EST12 (manufactured by Nippon RUFUTO Co., Ltd.)
Sample (test paper): after keeping at 23 deg.C and humidity of 50 RH% for 24 hr, the paper is cut into 20mm × 70mm
The determination method comprises the following steps: the test paper is immersed in a test solution (water) injected into the measurement space of the measuring apparatus, and ultrasonic waves of low energy are emitted in the thickness direction from this time. By measuring the change with time in the ultrasonic intensity of the receiver that receives the ultrasonic wave, wetting and soaking from the time when the test liquid and the test paper are in contact can be evaluated. The sizing degree in the present invention is a time (MAX time) from the start of measurement to the maximum value of the transmittance peak obtained from the start of measurement, among the transmittance peaks obtained when the test paper is completely immersed in the test solution.
The contact angle with water in the wound portion is preferably 90 ° or more, and more preferably 100 ° or more in both the first region and the second region, from the viewpoint of separation from the lips after use.
The contact angle can be measured under the following conditions.

< 1-2. lip adhesion preventive agent >
The lip adhesion inhibitor in the present embodiment may have a solid content of 100% nitrocellulose, 100% ethylcellulose, or a mixture of these at an arbitrary ratio, considering the ease of analysis and the actual solid content. The lip stick preventive agent may have a solid content of a mixture containing components other than nitrocellulose and/or ethylcellulose.
Conventionally, in a non-combustion heating type cigarette, no investigation has been made on the influence of lip adhesion preventive agents on flavor and the like. The present inventors prepared a non-burning heated cigarette having a wrapping portion coated with a lip stick preventive agent on the entire surface and a non-burning heated cigarette satisfying the above condition (a), and conducted an experiment for comparing the content of TSNA contained in the non-burning heated cigarette after both of them were used. The results show that: the non-combustion heating type cigarette having a wrapping portion coated with a lip stick preventive agent on the entire surface thereof contains TSNA in a larger amount than the non-combustion heating type cigarette satisfying the condition (A). The present inventors studied the reason as follows.
Typical examples of the component used for the lip adhesion preventive agent include nitrocellulose which is cellulose nitrate. Generally, nitrocellulose is obtained by treating cellulose with a mixed acid of nitric acid and sulfuric acid. The nitrocellulose is decomposed by heating to produce nitric acid, which reacts with trace amounts of alkaloids in the tobacco material to produce TSNA. A non-combustion heating type cigarette having a wrapping part coated with a lip adhesion preventive agent on the whole surface has a larger area to which the lip adhesion preventive agent is heated than a non-combustion heating type cigarette having a wrapping part partially coated with a lip adhesion preventive agent. Therefore, the heat of the heater is directly or indirectly transferred to the lip adhesion preventing agent, and a part of the lip adhesion preventing agent is excessively heated, thereby producing the above-described result.
It is noted that the so-called TSNA is a generic name of nitrosamine specific to tobacco, and is represented by N ' -nitrosonicotine (NNN), 4- (N-nitrosomethylamino) -1- (3-pyridine) -1-butanone (NNK), N ' -Nitrosoneonicotin (NAT), and N ' -Nitrosoanabasine (NAB).
When the lip adhesion inhibitor contains nitrocellulose, TSNA is produced as described above, but the lip adhesion inhibitor contains a component which may produce a substance that exerts an undesirable influence on flavor or the like in addition to the nitrocellulose. For example, ethyl cellulose, which may be used as an anti-lip adhesion agent, may cause undesirable changes in flavor and the like.
The material contained in the lip adhesion inhibitor in the present embodiment is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include nitrocellulose, ethylcellulose, and a mixture thereof, but a lip adhesion inhibitor containing nitrocellulose is particularly advantageous in that the generation of TSNA can be suppressed.
The lip adhesion inhibitor may contain components other than the nitrocellulose and the ethylcellulose, and for example, a filler such as calcium carbonate may be used. The ingredients of these lip adhesion preventing agents can be used as commercially available ones.
The method of applying the lip blocking preventive agent to the tipping paper is not particularly limited, and a general application method can be applied. The lip blocking inhibitor can be an aqueous solution or an ethyl acetate solution of 1.0 to 30.0 wt% in general, and such an aqueous solution or an ethyl acetate solution can be applied to the tipping paper in the embodiment of the present invention by using an appropriate printing method such as gravure printing. The lip blocking preventing agent may be applied to the tipping paper according to the embodiment of the present invention by a known method other than printing, for example, a method of applying an opaque ink by inkjet printing, a method of spraying, or a method of soaking.
The lip blocking prevention agent is applied to at least a portion of the tipping paper. In this embodiment, from the viewpoint of suppressing the amount of a substance that exerts an undesirable influence on the fragrance, it is preferable to apply the lip adhesion preventing agent to a region that is not excessively heated by a heater member of an electric heating apparatus described later, that is, at least a part of the first region, and to apply the lip adhesion preventing agent to the entire surface of the region. From the viewpoint of ensuring lip blocking prevention, it is preferable to apply a lip blocking prevention agent to at least a part of a region of the tipping paper which is provided in the mouthpiece section and in which the filter section described later is present directly below, and it is preferable to apply a lip blocking prevention agent to the entire surface of the region.
The lip adhesion preventing agent is required to be applied to at least a part of the outer surface of the first region of the tipping paper, and may be applied to the inner surface. However, from the viewpoint of reducing the amount of substances derived from the lip blocking inhibitor during use, it is preferable that the lip blocking inhibitor is not applied to the inner surface of the tipping paper.
[ content of lip adhesion preventive agent ]
The content of the lip adhesion inhibitor satisfies the condition (A) as described above.
By satisfying the condition (a), it is possible to reduce the generation of substances derived from the lip adhesion inhibitor during use while securing the lip adhesion preventing property, and to suppress the generation of substances that exert an undesirable influence on the flavor.
The ratio of the amount of the lip adhesion preventing agent per unit area in the second region to the amount of the lip adhesion preventing agent per unit area in the first region is not particularly limited, and is preferably 1/2 or less, more preferably 1/4 or less, particularly preferably 1/6 or less, and most preferably 1/8 or less, from the viewpoints of ensuring the lip adhesion preventing property and reducing the amount of substances generated from the lip adhesion preventing agent during use.
The content of the lip adhesion inhibitor per unit area in the first region is not particularly limited as long as it is larger than that in the second region, but is usually 0.20. mu.g/mm2Above and 1.00. mu.g/mm2Below, preferably 0.25. mu.g/mm2Above and 0.75. mu.g/mm2The following.
The content of the lip adhesion inhibitor per unit area in the second region is not particularly limited, but is preferably less than 0.56 μ g/mm from the viewpoint of reducing the amount of substances derived from the lip adhesion inhibitor during use and from the viewpoint of reducing the amount of substances derived from the lip adhesion inhibitor during use2More preferably less than 0.28. mu.g/mm2Particularly preferably less than 0.14. mu.g/mm2Most preferably 0. mu.g/mm2I.e. not coated.
The method of measuring the content of the lip blocking inhibitor is not particularly limited, and for example, the content of the lip blocking inhibitor per unit area in the first region and the second region can be determined by peeling the tipping paper constituting the wrapping section from the non-combustion heated cigarette, cutting the tipping paper in the first region and the second region, measuring the weight of the tipping paper, subtracting the weight of the tipping paper in each region, calculating the coating weight of the lip blocking inhibitor, and dividing each of the two regions by the area of the tipping paper.
If the coating weight of the lip blocking preventive agent at the time of production is calculated, the coating weight may be divided by the area, or the coating weight obtained from the weight difference of the tipping paper before and after the lip blocking preventive agent is applied may be divided by the area of the target region.
It is to be noted that since the lip adhesion inhibitor has a property of becoming brown by a certain heating, a method of observing the discoloration of the surface of the tipping paper before and after use of the non-combustion heated cigarette can be employed as a method of easily estimating the content of the lip adhesion inhibitor.
In addition, the content of the lip adhesion inhibitor can be measured by absorptiometry. For example, when nitrocellulose is used as the lip adhesion inhibitor, a value calculated by the following method can be used.
First, a standard sample for a standard curve was prepared by the following method, absorbance measurement was performed, and a standard curve was prepared from the absorbance measurement result of the standard sample for the standard curve according to ASTM D3133-01. However, a measurement sample was prepared by the method shown below, and absorbance measurement was performed. From the standard curve and the results of the absorptiometry measurement of the measurement sample, the content weight of the nitrocellulose in the measurement sample can be determined, and the amount of the lip adhesion inhibitor applied to the target region can be determined by dividing the content weight by the area of the target region.
It is to be noted that, when the component of the lip adhesion inhibitor is other than nitrocellulose, the measurement can be performed by the same method by changing the acetone described below to a solvent capable of dissolving the component, or by changing the absorption wavelength.

< 1-3. tobacco rod part >
The structure of the smoke rod portion 10 is not particularly limited, and can be a general one. For example, a tobacco filler can be wound by wrapping paper.
Tobacco filler
The structure of the tobacco filler is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a structure composed of a composition containing tobacco shreds (hereinafter referred to as a first tobacco filler), a structure composed of a plurality of tobacco sheets (hereinafter referred to as a second tobacco filler), or a structure composed of a single tobacco sheet (hereinafter referred to as a third tobacco filler).
The tobacco rod portion (simply referred to as "tobacco rod" in the present specification) preferably has a columnar shape, and in this case, the aspect ratio of the height of the tobacco rod portion in the longitudinal direction to the width of the bottom surface of the tobacco rod portion is preferably 1 or more.
The shape of the bottom surface of the stem portion is not limited, and may be a polygon, a rounded polygon, a circle, an ellipse, or the like, and the width is the diameter in the case of a circle, the length in the case of an ellipse, or the width is the diameter of a circumscribed circle or the length of a circumscribed ellipse in the case of a polygon or a rounded polygon. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the bottom surface is a circle and thus the width can be considered as the diameter of the circle. The diameter is the width and the length orthogonal thereto is the height. The height of the tobacco filler constituting the tobacco rod is preferably about 12 to 70mm, and the width is preferably about 4 to 9 mm.
The stem portion may have a fitting portion with a heater member or the like for heating the non-combustion heating type cigarette.
First, the first filler will be described. The material of the tobacco shred contained in the first filler is not particularly limited, and a known material such as a tobacco leaf sheet or a tobacco vein can be used. Further, the dried tobacco leaves may be pulverized and homogenized so that the average particle size is about 20 to 200 μm, and the resulting product may be subjected to sheet processing (hereinafter, simply referred to as homogenized sheet) and then cut into fine pieces. Further, the homogenization sheet having a length substantially equal to the longitudinal direction of the tobacco rod portion may be cut out substantially horizontally to the longitudinal direction of the tobacco rod portion and filled into the tobacco rod portion, i.e., a so-called linear sheet. The width of the tobacco shreds is preferably about 0.5-2.0 mm to be filled into tobacco rods. The tobacco filler content in the tobacco rod is, for example, 200 to 800 mg/rod, preferably 250 to 600 mg/rod in the case of a tobacco rod having a circumference of 22mm and a length of 20 mm. As the tobacco used for producing the cut tobacco and the homogenized sheet, various types of tobacco can be used. Examples of the tobacco include yellow, burley, oriental, native, other tobacco, yellow tobacco, and mixtures thereof. With respect to the mixture, the respective varieties can be appropriately mixed and used in such a manner that a desired taste is achieved. A detailed description of the tobacco variety is described in the tobacco section (tobacco Integrated research center, 2009.3.31). There are a number of conventional methods for manufacturing the homogenized sheet, that is, a method for pulverizing and processing tobacco leaves into homogenized sheets. The first is a method of producing a paper sheet by using a paper-making process. The second method is a method of mixing a suitable solvent such as water with pulverized tobacco leaves, homogenizing the mixture, thinly placing the homogenized product on a metal plate or a metal plate belt, and drying the sheet to produce an injection-molded sheet (キャストシート). The third method is a method of producing a rolled sheet by extruding a homogenized material obtained by homogenizing a mixture of a suitable solvent such as water and pulverized tobacco leaves into a sheet shape. The types of the above-mentioned homogenized sheets are described in "the classic for tobacco" (center for tobacco Integrated research, 2009.3.31).
The moisture content of the tobacco filler is, for example, 10 to 15 wt%, preferably 11 to 13 wt%, based on the total amount of the tobacco filler. At such a moisture content, the occurrence of rolling stains can be suppressed, and the rolling suitability during the production of tobacco rods can be improved.
The size of the cut tobacco contained in the first tobacco filler and the method of preparing the same are not particularly limited. For example, dried tobacco leaves may be cut into pieces having a width of 0.5 to 2.0 mm.
In the case of using pulverized material with homogenized flakes, it is possible to use pulverized material obtained by pulverizing dried tobacco leaves with an average particle size of about 20 to 200 μm, homogenizing the pulverized material, then processing the pulverized material into flakes, and further cutting the tobacco leaves with flakes into pieces having a width of 0.5 to 2.0 mm.
The first tobacco filler contains an aerosol-generating substrate that generates aerosol smoke. The type of the aerosol-generating substrate is not particularly limited, and substances extracted from various natural products and/or their components can be selected according to the application. Examples of the aerosol-generating substrate include glycerin, propylene glycol, triacetin, 1, 3-butanediol, and a mixture thereof.
The content of the aerosol-generating substrate in the first tobacco filler is not particularly limited, but is usually 5% by weight or more, preferably 10% by weight or more, and usually 50% by weight or less, preferably 15 to 25% by weight, based on the total amount of the tobacco filler, from the viewpoint of sufficiently generating aerosol and providing good flavor.

The tobacco rod portion is formed by winding the wrapping paper so that the first tobacco filler is positioned inside.
The second tobacco filler is composed of a plurality of tobacco sheets arranged concentrically. In the present specification, the concentric arrangement means that the centers of all the tobacco sheets are arranged at substantially the same position. The sheet as used in the present invention means a shape having a pair of substantially parallel main surfaces and side surfaces. The sheet is preferably made of paper. The second filler is configured by concentrically winding a plurality of tobacco sheets in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the non-combustion heated cigarette.
Examples of the sheet base include tobacco materials such as tobacco powder. In the present invention, the sheet substrate is preferably a tobacco material. As the base sheet of tobacco material, a tobacco sheet carrying a component capable of generating flavor as needed is preferable. The tobacco sheet generates aerosol with heating. An aerosol source of a polyhydric alcohol such as glycerin, propylene glycol, and 1, 3-butylene glycol is added as an aerosol-generating substrate. The aerosol-generating substrate is preferably added in an amount of 5 to 50 wt%, more preferably 15 to 25 wt%, based on the dry weight of the tobacco sheet.
A tobacco sheet as a raw material before being concentrically arranged will be described.
The tobacco sheet can be suitably produced by a known method such as a paper-making method, a pulp method, or a rolling method. In addition, the homogenizing sheet described for the first tobacco filler can also be used.
In the case of the paper making method, the paper can be made by a method having the following steps. 1) The dried tobacco leaves are coarsely crushed, extracted with water and the aqueous extract is separated from the residue. 2) The aqueous extract was dried under reduced pressure and concentrated. 3) Pulp is added to the residue, and the mixture is fiberized with a refiner, and then paper is made. 4) And adding the concentrated solution of the water extract to the sheet after paper making, and drying to obtain the tobacco sheet. In this case, a step of removing a part of the components such as nitrosamine may be added (see Japanese patent application laid-open No. 2004-510422).
In the case of the slurry method, the slurry can be produced by a method having the following steps. 1) Water, pulp and binder are mixed with the comminuted tobacco leaves. 2) The mixture is thinly spread (cast) and dried. In this case, a step of removing a part of components such as nitrosamine by ultraviolet irradiation or X-ray irradiation of a slurry obtained by mixing water, pulp, a binder, and crushed tobacco leaves may be added.
Further, as described in international publication No. 2014/104078, a nonwoven tobacco sheet produced by a method including the following steps can be used. 1) Mixing powdered tobacco leaves with a binder. 2) The mixture was held by a nonwoven fabric. 3) The laminate was hot-melt molded into a predetermined shape to obtain a tobacco sheet in a nonwoven fabric form.
The raw material tobacco leaves used in the above-described various methods can use the same kind as described in the first filler.
The composition of the tobacco sheet is not particularly limited, and for example, the content of the tobacco material (tobacco leaf) is preferably 50 to 95% by weight based on the total weight of the tobacco sheet. The tobacco sheet may contain a binder, and examples of the binder include guar gum, xanthan gum, CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose), CMC-NA (sodium salt of carboxymethyl cellulose), and the like. The binder is preferably used in an amount of 1 to 20 wt% based on the total weight of the tobacco sheet. The tobacco sheet may also contain other additives. Examples of the additive include fillers such as pulp. In the present invention, a plurality of tobacco sheets are used, and the entire surfaces of the respective tobacco sheets may have the same composition or physical properties, or a part or the entire surface of each tobacco sheet may have a different composition or physical properties.
The second tobacco filler can be made by the following method: a plurality of tobacco sheets having different widths are prepared, a laminate is prepared by laminating the tobacco sheets so that the width decreases from the bottom to the top, and the laminate is rolled up and molded by a roller tube. According to this manufacturing method, the plurality of tobacco sheets are arranged concentrically about the longitudinal axis while extending in the longitudinal direction. Further, a longitudinally extending engaging portion may be formed between the longitudinal axis and the innermost tobacco sheet.
In this production method, the laminate is preferably prepared so that a non-contact portion is formed between the adjacent tobacco sheets after roll forming.
When a non-contact portion (gap) where the tobacco sheets do not contact exists between the plurality of tobacco sheets, a flavor flow path can be secured, and the flavor component transfer efficiency can be improved. On the other hand, heat from the heater via the contact portions of the plurality of tobacco sheets can be transmitted to the outer tobacco sheet. High heat transfer efficiency can be ensured.
In order to provide a non-contact portion between a plurality of tobacco sheets, the tobacco sheets are not in contact with each other, for example, the following method of preparing a laminate may be mentioned: using the tobacco sheets processed by die pressing to laminate the whole surfaces between the adjacent tobacco sheets without adhesion; laminating adjacent tobacco sheets with a partial bond therebetween; or the entire surface or a part of the adjacent tobacco sheets are lightly bonded and laminated so as to be peelable after the roll forming.
In the case of preparing a tobacco rod containing a roll paper, the roll paper may be disposed at the lowermost part of the laminate.
Further, a cylindrical mold such as a mandrel can be placed on the topmost part of the laminate, and after the second tobacco filler is formed, the opening can be formed by removing the mold.
The thickness of each tobacco sheet is not limited, but is preferably 200 to 600 μm in view of heat transfer efficiency and strength. The thicknesses of the respective tobacco sheets may be the same as or different from each other.
The number of tobacco sheets constituting the second tobacco filler is not particularly limited as long as it is two or more, and is, for example, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
The third tobacco filler is constituted by a folded single tobacco sheet. The sheet has a length approximately equal to the longitudinal direction of the tobacco rod portion, and is folded and filled a plurality of times horizontally to the longitudinal direction of the tobacco rod portion, that is, a so-called pleated sheet. The thickness of the sheet is preferably 200 to 600 μm from the viewpoint of balance between heat transfer efficiency and strength.
The sheet substrate used in the third tobacco filler can be the same as the second tobacco filler described above.
[ roll paper ]
The structure of the roll paper is not particularly limited, and a general structure can be used. For example, as the base paper for the roll paper, a cellulose fiber paper can be used, and more specifically, hemp or wood or a mixture thereof can be cited. It is noted that the term "paper wrapper" is used herein to wrap the tobacco filler.
The wrapping paper may contain a filler, and the type of the filler is not limited, and examples thereof include metal carbonates such as calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, metal oxides such as titanium oxide and aluminum oxide, metal sulfates such as barium sulfate and calcium sulfate, metal sulfides such as zinc sulfide, quartz, kaolin, talc, diatomaceous earth, gypsum, and the like, and calcium carbonate is preferably contained from the viewpoint of improving whiteness and opacity and increasing heating rate.
The mixing ratio of the filler in the roll paper is not particularly limited, and is usually 1 to 50 wt%, preferably 5 to 45 wt%, more preferably 10 to 42 wt%, and particularly preferably 20 to 40 wt%. It is to be noted that, for example, when the content of calcium carbonate is determined, the content can be determined by measuring the content of carbon or by determining the amount of calcium ions after extraction.
When the amount is less than the lower limit of the above range, the roll paper tends to be burnt, and when the amount exceeds the upper limit, the strength of the roll paper is greatly reduced, which may deteriorate the windup property.
Various additives other than the base paper and the filler may be added to the roll paper, and for example, a water resistance improver may be added to improve the water resistance. The water resistance improver contains a wet paper strength enhancer (WS agent) and a sizing agent.

Further, the roll paper can be appropriately coated.
The roll paper may have a coating agent added to at least one of the front and back surfaces thereof. The coating agent is not particularly limited, and is preferably a coating agent that forms a film on the surface of paper and can reduce the permeability of liquid. For example alginic acid and salts thereof (e.g., sodium salt), polysaccharides such as pectin, cellulose derivatives such as ethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, nitrocellulose, and starch and derivatives thereof (e.g., ether derivatives such as carboxymethyl starch, hydroxyalkyl starch, and cationic starch, and ester derivatives such as acetate starch, phosphate starch, and octenyl succinate starch).
The grammage of the roll paper is usually 20-45 g/m2Preferably 25 to 40g/m2. Within this range, appropriate strength and rolling property can be maintained.
The air permeability of the roll paper is usually 0 to 120 air permeability units, preferably 5 to 100 air permeability units, and more preferably 10 to 80 air permeability units. Within this range, appropriate intensity and flavor can be maintained.
< 1-4. mouthpiece section
The structure of the non-combustion heating cigarette 1 is not particularly limited, and a general form can be adopted. For example, as shown in fig. 3, a cooling unit 15 or a filtering unit 16 may be provided, or a combination thereof may be used.
[ Cooling part ]
The cooling portion is not particularly limited as long as it has a function of cooling the mainstream smoke of tobacco, and for example, a thick paper sheet is processed into a cylindrical shape. In this case, the inside of the cylindrical shape is a cavity, and the vapor containing the aerosol-generating substrate and the tobacco flavor component is cooled by contacting the air in the cavity.
As shown in fig. 3, the non-combustion heated cigarette 1 may have a cooling portion 15 and an opening (not shown) for sucking air from the outside on a portion of the tipping paper 12 which may be covered with the lip adhesion preventing agent. By the presence of such open pores, air flows from the outside into the cooling portion 15 during use, and the vapor containing the aerosol-generating substrate and the tobacco flavor component generated by heating the tobacco rod portion is liquefied by lowering the temperature of contact with the air from the outside, thereby promoting the generation of aerosol. As shown in fig. 4, when the cooling portion 15 has a plurality of holes 18, the plurality of holes 18 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the cooling portion 15. The number of circumferential arrangements thereof is not particularly limited, and two or more may be present. Note that the cooling portion of fig. 4 has a cylindrical shape with the cavity 17, but the shape is not limited. In fig. 4, the boundary between the first region and the second region is omitted.
The diameter of the opening is preferably 100 to 1000 μm, more preferably 300 to 800 μm. The aperture is preferably substantially circular or substantially oval, in which case the diameter is the major diameter.
As shown in fig. 4, the tipping paper 12 and the lip adhesion preventing agent 13 may be provided with holes so as to penetrate through the openings of the cooling section, or may be provided with no holes.
The holes are arranged in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the cooling portion, and the number of circumferential arrangements (also referred to as "circumferential arrangement") is not particularly limited, and two or more holes may be present.
Further, a sheet-shaped member such as paper, a polymer film, or a metal foil may be pleated and filled into the inside of the cooling portion. In this case, the specific heat of these components can be used to cool the vapor.
The height of the cooling part in the longitudinal direction is not particularly limited, but is usually 5 to 40mm, preferably 10 to 35mm, and more preferably 15 to 30mm from the viewpoint of ensuring the cooling function.
[ filtration part ]
The structure of the filter unit 16 is not particularly limited as long as it has a function as a general filter, and may be, for example, a structure in which a cellulose acetate tow is processed into a cylindrical shape. The single yarn fineness and the total fineness of the cellulose acetate tow are not particularly limited, and when the circumference of the filter part is 22mm, the single yarn fineness is 5-12 g/9000m, and the total fineness is preferably 12000-30000 g/9000 m. The cross-sectional shape of the fibers of the cellulose acetate tow may have a Y-section or an R-section. In the case of a filter filled with cellulose acetate tow, 5 to 10 wt% of triacetin may be added to increase the filter hardness relative to the weight of the cellulose acetate tow.
In fig. 4, the filter portion 16 is formed of a single segment, but may be formed of a plurality of segments. In the case of a plurality of segments, for example, a hollow segment such as a center hole is disposed on the upstream side (smoke rod side), and a cellulose acetate filter whose mouth-piece cross section is filled with cellulose acetate tow is disposed on the downstream side (user's mouth-piece side). According to this aspect, it is possible to prevent wasteful loss of the generated aerosol and to improve the appearance of the non-combustion heated cigarette. In addition, from the viewpoint of flavor change and oral comfort, a method may be adopted in which an acetate filter is disposed on the upstream side and a hollow section such as a center hole is disposed on the downstream side. Note that, instead of the cellulose acetate filter, a paper filter filled with sheet-like pulp may be used.
In addition, ventilation resistance can be appropriately adjusted or additives (known adsorbents, perfumes, flavor-maintaining materials, and the like) can be added in the manufacture of the filter.

The heater block 23 of the electric heating apparatus 2 generates heat by the control of the control unit 20. When the heat is transferred to the tobacco rod portion of the non-combustion heating type cigarette, the aerosol-generating substrate and flavor components contained in the tobacco filler in the tobacco rod portion are volatilized.
The heater member may be, for example, a sheet heater, a flat plate heater, or a cylindrical heater. The sheet heater is a soft sheet heater, for example, a heater comprising a film (having a thickness of about 20 to 225 μm) of a heat-resistant polymer such as polyimide. The flat plate heater is a hard flat plate heater (having a thickness of about 200 to 500 μm), and is, for example, a heater having a resistance circuit on a flat plate base and having a heating portion at the portion. The cylindrical heater is a hollow or solid cylindrical heater, and is, for example, a heater (having a thickness of about 200 to 500 μm) having a resistance circuit on the outer circumferential surface of a cylindrical metal or the like and having a heat generating portion at the part. Further, a column heater or a cone heater made of metal or the like having a resistance circuit therein and having a heating portion as a part thereof may be used. The cross-sectional shape of the cylindrical heater may be a circle, an ellipse, a polygon, a rounded polygon, or the like.

The length of the heater member in the longitudinal direction is preferably Lmm or more from the viewpoint of sufficiently transmitting heat to the tobacco rod portion to sufficiently volatilize the aerosol-generating substrate and flavor components contained in the tobacco filler, that is, from the viewpoint of aerosol transport, and is preferably L +0.5mm or less, L +1.0mm or less, L +1.5mm or less, L +2.0mm or less, L +2.5mm or less, L +3.0mm or less, L +3.5mm or less, L +4.0mm or less, L +4.5mm or less, or L +5.0mm or less from the viewpoint of suppressing the generation of components that give unnecessary influences on flavor and the like.
The heating intensity such as the heating time or the heating temperature of the non-combustion heating type cigarette by the heater member can be set in advance for each electrically heated cigarette product. For example, after the non-combustion heated cigarette is inserted into an electric heating apparatus, preliminary heating is performed for a certain period of time to heat the outer peripheral surface of the portion of the non-combustion heated cigarette where the apparatus is inserted to X (deg.c), and then the temperature is set in advance so as to be maintained at a certain temperature of X (deg.c) or lower.
From the viewpoint of the aerosol transport amount, the above X (. degree. C.) is preferably 80 ℃ to 400 ℃. Specifically, the temperature can be 80 ℃, 90 ℃, 100 ℃, 110 ℃, 120 ℃, 130 ℃, 140 ℃, 150 ℃, 160 ℃, 170 ℃, 180 ℃, 190 ℃, 200 ℃, 210 ℃, 220 ℃, 230 ℃, 240 ℃, 250 ℃, 260 ℃, 270 ℃, 280 ℃, 290 ℃, 300 ℃, 310 ℃, 320 ℃, 330 ℃, 340 ℃, 350 ℃, 360 ℃, 370 ℃, 380 ℃, 390 ℃, 400 ℃.
