Description

Aerosol generating product, preparation method thereof and aerosol generating system
Technical Field
The embodiment of the application relates to the technical field of products, in particular to an aerosol generating product, a preparation method thereof and an aerosol generating system.
Background
Smoking articles (e.g., cigarettes, cigars, etc.) burn tobacco during use to produce tobacco smoke. Attempts have been made to replace these tobacco-burning smoking articles by making products that release the compounds without burning.
An example of such a product is a heating device that releases a compound by heating rather than burning a smokable material in the article. For example, the smokable material may be tobacco or other non-tobacco products, which may or may not contain nicotine. As another example, there are heating devices that heat an article by infrared radiation to release a compound to produce an aerosol.
Because the infrared rays have stronger penetrability, the infrared rays can penetrate through the periphery of the product to enter the interior, so that the internal and external heating of the product is more uniform. Disadvantageously, such uniform heating causes a substantial portion of the moisture in the product to be vaporized by heat, while the higher heat-containing water vapor makes the user more prone to burning when inhaling, especially when inhaling the first bite.

The aerosol-forming substrate 10 is disposed at a distal end 42 of the aerosol-generating article.
The aerosol-forming substrate 10 may comprise nicotine. The nicotine-containing aerosol-forming substrate 10 may comprise a nicotine salt matrix. The aerosol-forming substrate 10 may comprise a plant-based material. The aerosol-forming substrate 10 preferably comprises a tobacco-containing material.

Alternatively or additionally, the aerosol-forming substrate 10 may comprise a tobacco-free material. The aerosol-forming substrate 10 may comprise a homogenized plant-based material.

The aerosol-forming substrate 10 may comprise at least one aerosol-forming agent. An aerosol-former is used to describe any suitable known compound or mixture of compounds that promotes the formation of an aerosol in use and is generally resistant to thermal degradation at the operating temperature of the aerosol-generating article.

The aerosol-forming substrate 10 may also comprise one or more capsules comprising, for example, additional tobacco or smokeless volatile flavoring compounds, and such capsules may melt during heating of the aerosol-forming substrate 10.
The aerosol-forming substrate 10 may be provided on or embedded in a thermally stable carrier. The term "thermally stable" as used herein refers to a material that does not substantially degrade at the temperature to which the aerosol-forming substrate 10 is typically heated (e.g., about 150 ℃ to about 300 ℃). The carrier may take the form of a powder, granules, pellets, chips, strands, ribbons, or sheets. The aerosol-forming substrate 10 may be deposited on the surface of the carrier in the form of, for example, a sheet, foam, gel or paste. The aerosol-forming substrate 10 may be deposited over the entire surface of the carrier or, alternatively, may be deposited in a pattern to provide non-uniform taste delivery during use.
The cooling element 20 is arranged immediately downstream of the aerosol-forming substrate 10 and is adjacent to the aerosol-forming substrate 10. In use, the volatile material released by the aerosol-forming substrate 10 after being heated passes along the cooling element 20 towards the proximal end 41 of the aerosol-generating article and may cool down within the cooling element 20 to form an aerosol for inhalation by a user. In the preferred embodiment shown in fig. 1, the cooling element 20 includes a cavity that extends along the length of the cooling element 20. By the above axially extending cavities, the air flow through the cooling element 20 is in the longitudinal direction without substantial radial deviation. The cooling element 20 may act to cool the temperature of the aerosol stream drawn through the cooling element 20 by means of heat transfer. The components of the aerosol will interact with the space within the cooling element 20 and lose thermal energy.
In some embodiments, the temperature of the aerosol stream may decrease by more than 10 degrees celsius as it is drawn through the cooling element 20. In some embodiments, the temperature of the aerosol stream may decrease by more than 25 degrees celsius or more than 30 degrees celsius as it is drawn through the cooling element 20.
The suction nozzle 30 is arranged immediately downstream of the cooling element 20 and abuts against the cooling element 20. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the mouthpiece 30 may be a conventional cellulose acetate or polypropylene tow filter.
To assemble the aerosol-generating article, the three elements described above are aligned and tightly wrapped within the outer wrapper 40. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the outer wrapper 40 may be conventional cigarette paper.
The aerosol-generating article shown in fig. 1 is designed to be engaged by an aerosol-generating device comprising a heating element for inhalation by a user. In use, the heating element of the aerosol-generating device heats the aerosol-forming substrate 10 of the aerosol-generating article to a temperature sufficient to generate an aerosol which is drawn downstream through the aerosol-generating article and inhaled by a user.
One embodiment of the present application also proposes an infrared absorbing material configured to absorb infrared radiation that heats the aerosol-forming substrate 10. In a preferred embodiment, the absorption peak of the infrared absorbing material is correlated to the absorption peak of moisture in the aerosol-forming substrate. In this way, the infrared absorption material absorbs radiation and heats the infrared rays of the aerosol forming substrate 10, so that the evaporated and atomized moisture is reduced in a certain proportion, the phenomenon that the smoker generates a burning sensation during smoking due to the fact that the vapor with higher heat is contained is avoided, and particularly, the temperature of the first-mouth smoking aerosol is reduced, and the smoking experience of a user is improved; meanwhile, after the temperature of the infrared absorbing material is increased, the infrared absorbing material can be heated and atomized together to form the matrix 10, so that the heating efficiency of the product is improved to a certain extent.
In one example, the wavelength range of the absorption peak of the infrared absorbing material at least partially coincides with the wavelength range of the absorption peak of the moisture in the aerosol-forming substrate 10. Specifically, the wavelength range of the absorption peak of the infrared absorbing material is within the wavelength range of the absorption peak of the moisture in the aerosol-forming substrate 10; alternatively, the wavelength range of the absorption peak of the moisture in the aerosol-forming substrate 10 is within the wavelength range of the absorption peak of the infrared absorbing material; alternatively, the wavelength range of the absorption peak of the infrared absorbing material partially coincides with the wavelength range of the absorption peak of the moisture in the aerosol-forming substrate 10; alternatively, the wavelength range of the absorption peak of the infrared absorbing material is exactly the same as the wavelength range of the absorption peak of the moisture in the aerosol-forming substrate 10.
In one example, the infrared absorbing material has an absorption peak in the wavelength range of 3 μm to 5 μm.
In one example, the infrared absorbing material is in at least one of the following forms: powder, granules, pellets, chips, strands, ribbons or sheets. An infrared absorbing material may be disposed between the aerosol-forming substrate 10 and the outer wrapper 40, for example, a sheet-shaped infrared absorbing material is sandwiched between the aerosol-forming substrate 10 and the outer wrapper 40; alternatively, an infrared absorbing material is disposed within the aerosol-forming substrate 10.
Taking the infrared absorbing material as a particle form, as shown in fig. 1, 11 in the figure represents a particle-shaped aerosol-forming substrate, 12 represents moisture in the particle-shaped aerosol-forming substrate, and 13 represents the particle-shaped infrared absorbing material; the particulate infrared absorbing material is mixed with the particulate aerosol-forming substrate and its moisture. When the product is heated by infrared radiation, the granular infrared absorbing material absorbs infrared rays of 3-5 mu m together with moisture; in this way, the evaporation and atomization of the water is reduced in a certain proportion, so that the phenomenon that the water vapor with high heat content causes burning sensation to the user during sucking is avoided, and the temperature of the first sucking air fog is reduced. Meanwhile, the temperature of the granular infrared absorbing material is increased after the granular infrared absorbing material absorbs the radiant heat, and the granular aerosol forming substrate adjacent to the granular infrared absorbing material is heated and atomized, so that the heating efficiency of the product is improved to a certain extent.
In one example, the infrared absorbing material includes at least one of a metal, an inorganic non-metal, an organic, and a super-absorbing material. For example, metals include, but are not limited to, copper, nickel; inorganic nonmetallic materials include, but are not limited to, silicon carbide, graphene; organics include, but are not limited to, sucrose, fiber; superabsorbent material: the surface microstructure of the substance is regulated so that the substance only absorbs infrared rays of 3-5 mu m.
In one example, the mass fraction of infrared absorbing material is between 2% and 30% based on the total mass of the aerosol-forming substrate 10 and the infrared absorbing material; preferably, between 2% and 25%; further preferably, between 2% and 20%; further preferably, between 2% and 15%; more preferably, the content is 5 to 15%.
The above outer wrapper 40 is preferably made of an infrared transmitting material. For example, the inorganic fiber material is used for preparation, and specifically comprises one or more of hydroxyapatite fiber, silicon carbide fiber and barium titanate fiber.
The above hydroxyapatite fiber, silicon carbide fiber, barium titanate fiber are excellent infrared-transmitting materials so that the outer wrapper 40 is substantially non-infrared-absorbing when the aerosol-generating article is heated by means of infrared radiation, thereby effectively promoting the heating efficiency of the inner aerosol-forming substrate 10.
Further to facilitate verification of the feasibility of aerosol-generating articles employing the above infrared absorbing materials, and the advancement in properties of the produced aerosol-generating articles, the produced aerosol-generating articles are illustrated by the following specific examples and test results.
S11, preparing a plant-based material of an aerosol-forming substrate; for example: tobacco material.
S12, preparing an infrared absorption material.
Silicon carbide material may be used, wherein the mass fraction of the silicon carbide material is 10% and the particle size is 24 mesh.
Graphene materials may also be employed, wherein the mass fraction of the graphene material is 10%.
The steps S11 and S12 may be not sequential.
S13, after the plant-based material is mixed with the infrared absorbing material, the mixture can be prepared by adopting a conventional product technology to obtain an aerosol generating product.
The preparation can be carried out using a particulate product process to obtain a particulate aerosol generating article.
The product can also be prepared by adopting the conventional reconstituted tobacco type product technology (such as a paper making method, a dry method, a thick slurry method, a rolling method and the like) so as to obtain an aerosol product of reconstituted tobacco type.
The above-mentioned product processes can be referred to in the art, for example: dong Gaofeng, tian Yongfeng, shang Shanzhai, etc. the development of reconstituted tobacco production process for heating non-combustible (HnB) cigarettes [ J ]. Chinese journal of tobacco, 2020, 26 (1) ", are not described in detail herein.

Test purpose: the rate of change of the TPM values of the aerosol product article 1 and the aerosol generating article 2 relative to conventional heated nonflammable articles was tested.
Wherein the aerosol product 1 adopts silicon carbide material as infrared absorption material, the mass fraction of the silicon carbide material is 10%, and the granularity is 24 meshes; a particulate aerosol-generating article prepared by employing a particulate article process; the aerosol product 2 adopts graphene material as infrared absorption material, wherein the mass fraction of the graphene material is 10%; the reconstituted tobacco type aerosol product is prepared by adopting a conventional reconstituted tobacco type product process.
The testing steps are as follows:
s41, testing the quality of the conventional heated non-combustible product, aerosol-generating product 1 and aerosol-generating product 2 before and after suction, and calculating the weight loss value, as shown in the following table:
Figure BDA0003438104890000121
s42, calculating the TPM value change rate of the aerosol generating product 1 according to the TPM values of the conventional heating non-combustion product and the aerosol generating product 1, wherein the TPM value change rate is calculated according to the following calculation process:
Figure BDA0003438104890000122
similarly, the TPM value change rate of the resulting aerosol-generating article 2 was about 6.9%.
As can be seen from the above test results, compared with the conventional heating non-combustible product, the TPM value change rate of the aerosol-generating product 1 and the aerosol-generating product 2 is improved, and thus the sucking experience of a user is improved.
