Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of novel tobacco products, and more particularly, to a heat-not-burn tobacco matrix for preventing cut tobacco from falling and an application thereof.
- heat-not-burn cigarettes designed with an idea of "heat-not-burn” can heat tobacco leaves or tobacco materials just enough to release flavor, without igniting the tobacco leaves or the tobacco materials.
- a sucking temperature of the traditional cigarette is as high as 900°C, and a plurality of potentially harmful substances (HPHCs) are produced by burning, pyrolysis and thermal synthesis of the tobacco leaves or the tobacco materials under high temperature conditions, while a sucking temperature of the heat-not-burn cigarette is below 400°C, which can reduce the production of HPHCs during burning.
- compositions of a tobacco matrix are heated by heat of a heating device mainly through the cooperation of the tobacco matrix and the heating device, to generate aerosol for sucking.
- a heating device mainly through the cooperation of the tobacco matrix and the heating device, to generate aerosol for sucking.
- the tobacco matrix and the heating device are cooperated for use, the tobacco matrix needs to be inserted into a heating cavity of the heating device, and the tobacco matrix needs to be separated from the heating device after the tobacco matrix is heated and sucked. Plugging and unplugging of the heating device often lead to cut tobacco falling and remaining in a heater, which is not conducive to cleaning and subsequent use of the heater, and also affects environmental sanitation.
- CN107205494A discloses a patent technology of extractor to prevent tobacco from falling into a heating cavity, but it is troublesome to operate the extractor and then take out cut tobacco each time after the extractor is used, and it is also necessary to clean up residual cut tobacco falling into the extractor. What is expected in the art is to solve the problem that the cut tobacco falls in the process of plugging and unplugging by improving the tobacco matrix itself.
- EP 0 836 390 B1 relates to a method of manufacturing a cigarette by forming a tobacco rod by placing 2-up tobacco plugs an 2-up hollow plugs in a spaced alternating relationship. The rod is severed between two of the tobacco plugs. 2-up filter plugs are positioned between the tobacco rods. Tipping paper is then wrapped around the plug and tobacco portions. Tobacco web and overwrap are wrapped by directing a ribbon of tobacco mat and a ribbon of overwrap together about a succession of tobacco rods. The overwrap is wrapped around the tobacco mat. An anchoring bead of adhesive is applied along the web.
- the present invention aims to overcome the defect of cut tobacco falling in the prior art, and provide a heat-not-burn tobacco matrix for preventing the cut tobacco from falling.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide a heat-not-burn cigarette which contains the heat-not-burn tobacco matrix for preventing cut tobacco from falling.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide an application method of the heat-not-burn cigarette.
- a heat-not-burn tobacco matrix for preventing cut tobacco from falling wherein the tobacco matrix is formed by disorderly mixing expanded tobacco, formula leaf group cut tobacco and/or a tobacco sheet and rolling, and a density of the tobacco matrix is 0.25 g/cm 3 to 0.70 g/cm 3 , preferably 0.25 g/cm 3 to 0.65 g/cm 3 .
- the expanded cut tobacco is added to the tobacco matrix as a filler, and a disorder intertwining degree of the expanded tobacco matrix is increased through the disorderly mixing of the expanded tobacco and other tobacco constituents, so that the whole tobacco matrix can maintain an overall stability during plugging and unplugging processes of a heater, which plays a good supporting role for the tobacco matrix, and effectively reduces a fall-out rate of the cut tobacco during plugging and unplugging.
- the addition of the expanded tobacco can also adjust a filling rate of the whole tobacco matrix, ensure a smoothness of an air channel, and facilitate circulation and heat transfer of an aerogel formed by heating.
- the density or the filling value directly shows a tightness of the cut tobacco. If the density is too high, the tobacco matrix will increase in mass and be too dense, which will easily lead to problems of "head bursting" of the cigarette, unsmooth air flow and large resistance during sucking. If the density is too low, an interaction force between the constituents is not enough, which will easily lead to cut tobacco falling.
- the extrusion of the heating element enables the tobacco matrix to provide a proper air flow path and ventilation, and the structure of the tobacco can still maintain a stable shape after heating and baking.
- a moisture mass percentage of the tobacco matrix is 5.0% to 12.5%.
- the tobacco matrix may have a density of 0.25 g/cm 3 and a moisture mass percentage of 10.5%, a density of 0.45 g/cm 3 and a moisture mass percentage of 11.5%, or a density of 0.65 g/cm 3 and a moisture mass percentage of 9.5%.
- the moisture of the cut tobacco has an important influence on sensory characteristics, brittleness and elasticity of the cut tobacco, and more importantly, on a processing performance thereof, and a moisture of a certain constituent is controlled to a level of 11.5% to 12.5% lower than that of a traditional cigarette.
- At least one of the three constituents of the tobacco matrix is controlled at 5.0% to 11.0%, which not only regulates the overall moisture of the tobacco matrix, but also adjusts overall physical characteristics of the tobacco matrix, thus facilitating machine processing.
- the moisture and processing performance will not be significantly affected.
- the brittleness is increased and a structure stability of the disordered tobacco is ensured.
- the mass of the expanded tobacco is 5% to 40% of a total mass of the tobacco matrix.
- the mass of the expanded tobacco is 15% to 30% of the total mass of the tobacco matrix.
- the filling value of the expanded tobacco is 4.5 cm 3 /g to 7.5 cm 3 /g, and a whole cut rate of the expanded cut tobacco is 70% to 90%.
- the filling value may be 7.12 cm 3 /g, 4.88 cm 3 /g, 6.21 cm 3 /g or 6.07 cm 3 /g; and the whole cut rate may be 70%, 75%, 80%, 83%, 85% or 87%.
- the filling value of the expanded tobacco is an important index of an expansion effect, and a high filling rate can directly improve an overall filling rate of the tobacco matrix; the whole cut rate is a main index of the expanded tobacco structure, which can effectively guarantee a supporting stiffness of the expanded tobacco to the tobacco substrate.
- a certain whole cut rate is also beneficial to the improvement of an intertwining degree between the expanded tobacco and the tobacco sheet, and can well reduce a fall-out rate of the cut tobacco.
- the filling value of the expanded cut tobacco is 6.5 cm 3 /g to 7.5 cm 3 /g, and the whole cut rate of the expanded cut tobacco is 83% to 90%.
- a size of the expanded tobacco is greater than or equal to 1.0 mm.
- the expanded tobacco is broken cut tobacco when the size of the expanded tobacco is less than 1.0 mm.
- the broken cut tobacco cannot support the tobacco matrix well, and will affect the smoothness of the air channel of the whole tobacco matrix and increase a sucking resistance.
- the length of the cut tobacco affects a bending degree and smooth processing. If the cut tobacco is too long, the density of the cut tobacco will be uneven, and "loose-end" or "bamboo joint cigarette” will appear. An appropriate length has great influence on the processing performance of the tobacco matrix.
- This constituent with appropriate length may be any one or two of the formula leaf group cut tobacco and the tobacco sheet. Considering that the manufacturing methods and physical properties of each constituent are quite different, constituents with large elasticity and overlength are not suitable for the heat-not-burn tobacco matrix, and the length needs to be selected with reference to other physical indexes.
- the length herein also refers to a size at the largest or widest point.
- the expanded tobacco is expanded cut tobacco and/or expanded cut stem.
- the expanded tobacco is the expanded cut tobacco.
- the expanded cut tobacco is superior to the expanded cut stem in aroma and sucking quality, and a whole cut rate and an expansion size of the expanded cut tobacco are also greater than that of the expanded cut stem; meanwhile, the expanded cut tobacco is superior to ordinary cut tobacco in space filling rate, coke reduction and harm reduction, which can further improve a sucking sensory performance of the tobacco matrix. Therefore, the expanded cut tobacco is preferred.
- a mass of the formula leaf group cut tobacco is 0% to 95% of a total mass of the tobacco matrix.
- a mass of the tobacco sheet is 0% to 95% of a total mass of the tobacco matrix.
- a size of the tobacco sheet is 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm in thickness, 2 mm to 30 mm in length, and 1 mm to 2 mm in width.
- the tobacco sheet may be prepared by a dry process, a rolling process and a paper-making process, wherein a two-step approach is employed in the paper-making process to prepare the tobacco sheet, in which tobacco raw materials are extracted first, then the paper-making process is employed to prepare a solid phase into a tobacco sheet, a liquid phase is concentrated and coated on the tobacco sheet, and then the obtained tobacco sheet is shredded into the final tobacco sheet.
- Controlling a length and a width of the tobacco sheet is beneficial to intertwining between the tobacco sheet and the expanded cut tobacco, and further improves a stiffness and a spatial stability, which is not only beneficial to increase an air flow channel, but also can reduce a fall-out rate of the cut tobacco.
- a tobacco extract, an atomizing agent and an aroma component are loaded on the formula leaf group cut tobacco and/or the tobacco sheet and/or the expanded tobacco.
- the present invention further protects a heat-not-burn cigarette which contains the heat-not-burn tobacco matrix.
- the heat-not-burn cigarette includes a mouth contact section, a cooling section and a heat-not-burn tobacco matrix section, wherein the heat-not-burn tobacco matrix section is the heat-not-burn tobacco matrix according to the present invention.
- the present invention further protects an application method of the heat-not-burn cigarette, which includes the following steps: inserting the heat-not-burn cigarette into a heating element for fixed heating, sucking, rotating for at least 30 degrees after sucking, and pulling out the heat-not-burn cigarette.
- the heat-not-burn cigarette according to the present invention is preferably used in cooperation with a corresponding heater, and the heater specifically include a heating element and a fixing seat for the heating element, a sleeve, a control element and a housing, as well as a cigarette insertion opening, a vent hole and a power switch on the housing, wherein the sleeve, the heating element and the cigarette insertion opening form a heating cavity of the tobacco matrix.
- the air flow enters the heater and the cigarette through the vent holes, the cigarette is inserted into the sleeve through the cigarette insertion opening and receives heat from the heating element, and the sleeve is provided with a positioning piece, so that the heat-not-burn tobacco matrix can receive the heat of the heating element to the maximum extent.
- the root cause why the cut tobacco does not fall off lies in stable structure and moderate strength thereof. Even if a heating rod is inserted, the structure can be guaranteed to be stable, and an extrusion effect of the heating rod can make an internal shape not change obviously after heating.
- the present invention has the following beneficial effects.
- a heat-not-burn tobacco matrix for preventing cut tobacco from falling wherein the tobacco matrix was formed by disorderly mixing expanded tobacco, formula leaf group cut tobacco and/or tobacco sheet and rolling, a density of the tobacco matrix was 0.25 g/cm 3 , and a moisture content of the tobacco matrix was 10.5%

- the tobacco matrix formed by rolling the tobacco sheet without the expanded cut tobacco in Comparative Example 1 is easy to fall out after heating and sucking, which is obviously inferior to the embodiments; the content of the expanded cut tobacco added in Comparative Example 2 is too low, and the phenomenon of the cut tobacco falling out after heating and sucking of the obtained tobacco matrix is also obvious, which is not as good as that of the embodiments; and the addition amount of the expanded cut tobacco in Comparative Example 3 is too large, which can control the fall-out rate of the cut tobacco well, but excessive addition of the expanded cut tobacco will damage overall aroma and overall sensory evaluation of the tobacco matrix.
Description
- The present invention relates to the field of novel tobacco products, and more particularly, to a heat-not-burn tobacco matrix for preventing cut tobacco from falling and an application thereof.
- The research and development of heat-not-burn cigarette products is a hot spot in the tobacco industry at present. Different from traditional cigarettes, the heat-not-burn cigarettes designed with an idea of "heat-not-burn" can heat tobacco leaves or tobacco materials just enough to release flavor, without igniting the tobacco leaves or the tobacco materials. In general, under normal circumstances, a sucking temperature of the traditional cigarette is as high as 900°C, and a plurality of potentially harmful substances (HPHCs) are produced by burning, pyrolysis and thermal synthesis of the tobacco leaves or the tobacco materials under high temperature conditions, while a sucking temperature of the heat-not-burn cigarette is below 400°C, which can reduce the production of HPHCs during burning. According to the heat-not-burn cigarette, compositions of a tobacco matrix are heated by heat of a heating device mainly through the cooperation of the tobacco matrix and the heating device, to generate aerosol for sucking. When the tobacco matrix and the heating device are cooperated for use, the tobacco matrix needs to be inserted into a heating cavity of the heating device, and the tobacco matrix needs to be separated from the heating device after the tobacco matrix is heated and sucked. Plugging and unplugging of the heating device often lead to cut tobacco falling and remaining in a heater, which is not conducive to cleaning and subsequent use of the heater, and also affects environmental sanitation. At present, a metal mesh cover is wrapped outside cigarette paper to prevent cigarette ash of the traditional cigarette from falling, but this operation is not suitable for low-temperature not-burn cigarettes. Wrapping the mesh cover outside the cigarette paper cannot prevent the cut tobacco from falling when the heating device is plugged into and out from the tobacco matrix, and the metal mesh cover can also cause friction damage between the tobacco matrix and the heating device. To prevent the tobacco matrix from falling during plugging and unplugging,
CN107205494A discloses a patent technology of extractor to prevent tobacco from falling into a heating cavity, but it is troublesome to operate the extractor and then take out cut tobacco each time after the extractor is used, and it is also necessary to clean up residual cut tobacco falling into the extractor. What is expected in the art is to solve the problem that the cut tobacco falls in the process of plugging and unplugging by improving the tobacco matrix itself. -

- The above-mentioned objectives of the present invention are achieved by the following technical solutions.
- A heat-not-burn tobacco matrix for preventing cut tobacco from falling, wherein the tobacco matrix is formed by disorderly mixing expanded tobacco, formula leaf group cut tobacco and/or a tobacco sheet and rolling, and a density of the tobacco matrix is 0.25 g/cm3 to 0.70 g/cm3, preferably 0.25 g/cm3 to 0.65 g/cm3.

If the density is too high, the tobacco matrix will increase in mass and be too dense, which will easily lead to problems of "head bursting" of the cigarette, unsmooth air flow and large resistance during sucking. If the density is too low, an interaction force between the constituents is not enough, which will easily lead to cut tobacco falling.
- For an appropriate density, it also needs to consider a stable internal structure when a heating element is inserted into the cut tobacco, and the cut tobacco is ensured to contact with the heating element as much as possible through the extrusion of the heating element, so as to improve a heat transfer efficiency. Meanwhile, the extrusion of the heating element enables the tobacco matrix to provide a proper air flow path and ventilation, and the structure of the tobacco can still maintain a stable shape after heating and baking.
- Preferably, a moisture mass percentage of the tobacco matrix is 5.0% to 12.5%.
- In a specific tobacco matrix, the tobacco matrix may have a density of 0.25 g/cm3 and a moisture mass percentage of 10.5%, a density of 0.45 g/cm3 and a moisture mass percentage of 11.5%, or a density of 0.65 g/cm3 and a moisture mass percentage of 9.5%.
- The moisture of the cut tobacco has an important influence on sensory characteristics, brittleness and elasticity of the cut tobacco, and more importantly, on a processing performance thereof, and a moisture of a certain constituent is controlled to a level of 11.5% to 12.5% lower than that of a traditional cigarette.
- Preferably, at least one of the three constituents of the tobacco matrix is controlled at 5.0% to 11.0%, which not only regulates the overall moisture of the tobacco matrix, but also adjusts overall physical characteristics of the tobacco matrix, thus facilitating machine processing. The moisture and processing performance will not be significantly affected. Moreover, the brittleness is increased and a structure stability of the disordered tobacco is ensured.
- The mass of the expanded tobacco is 5% to 40% of a total mass of the tobacco matrix.
- Preferably, the mass of the expanded tobacco is 15% to 30% of the total mass of the tobacco matrix.
- Due to the large losses of aroma components in the preparation process of the expanded cut tobacco and thus taste while sucking is bland, the inventors found through continuous exploration that a sucking sense of the tobacco matrix can be fully guaranteed, and an effect of preventing the cut tobacco from falling can also be well achieved when an addition amount of the expanded cut tobacco is 15% to 30%.
- The filling value of the expanded tobacco is 4.5 cm3/g to 7.5 cm3/g, and a whole cut rate of the expanded cut tobacco is 70% to 90%. For example, the filling value may be 7.12 cm3/g, 4.88 cm3/g, 6.21 cm3/g or 6.07 cm3/g; and the whole cut rate may be 70%, 75%, 80%, 83%, 85% or 87%.
- The filling value of the expanded tobacco is an important index of an expansion effect, and a high filling rate can directly improve an overall filling rate of the tobacco matrix; the whole cut rate is a main index of the expanded tobacco structure, which can effectively guarantee a supporting stiffness of the expanded tobacco to the tobacco substrate. A certain whole cut rate is also beneficial to the improvement of an intertwining degree between the expanded tobacco and the tobacco sheet, and can well reduce a fall-out rate of the cut tobacco.
- Preferably, the filling value of the expanded cut tobacco is 6.5 cm3/g to 7.5 cm3/g, and the whole cut rate of the expanded cut tobacco is 83% to 90%.
- Preferably, a size of the expanded tobacco is greater than or equal to 1.0 mm. The expanded tobacco is broken cut tobacco when the size of the expanded tobacco is less than 1.0 mm. The broken cut tobacco cannot support the tobacco matrix well, and will affect the smoothness of the air channel of the whole tobacco matrix and increase a sucking resistance.
- The length of the cut tobacco affects a bending degree and smooth processing. If the cut tobacco is too long, the density of the cut tobacco will be uneven, and "loose-end" or "bamboo joint cigarette" will appear. An appropriate length has great influence on the processing performance of the tobacco matrix. This constituent with appropriate length may be any one or two of the formula leaf group cut tobacco and the tobacco sheet. Considering that the manufacturing methods and physical properties of each constituent are quite different, constituents with large elasticity and overlength are not suitable for the heat-not-burn tobacco matrix, and the length needs to be selected with reference to other physical indexes.
- For various constituents of the tobacco, the length herein also refers to a size at the largest or widest point.
- Preferably, the expanded tobacco is expanded cut tobacco and/or expanded cut stem.
- Preferably, the expanded tobacco is the expanded cut tobacco. The expanded cut tobacco is superior to the expanded cut stem in aroma and sucking quality, and a whole cut rate and an expansion size of the expanded cut tobacco are also greater than that of the expanded cut stem; meanwhile, the expanded cut tobacco is superior to ordinary cut tobacco in space filling rate, coke reduction and harm reduction, which can further improve a sucking sensory performance of the tobacco matrix. Therefore, the expanded cut tobacco is preferred.
- Preferably, a mass of the formula leaf group cut tobacco is 0% to 95% of a total mass of the tobacco matrix.
- Preferably, a mass of the tobacco sheet is 0% to 95% of a total mass of the tobacco matrix.
- Preferably, a size of the tobacco sheet is 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm in thickness, 2 mm to 30 mm in length, and 1 mm to 2 mm in width.
- The tobacco sheet may be prepared by a dry process, a rolling process and a paper-making process, wherein a two-step approach is employed in the paper-making process to prepare the tobacco sheet, in which tobacco raw materials are extracted first, then the paper-making process is employed to prepare a solid phase into a tobacco sheet, a liquid phase is concentrated and coated on the tobacco sheet, and then the obtained tobacco sheet is shredded into the final tobacco sheet. Controlling a length and a width of the tobacco sheet is beneficial to intertwining between the tobacco sheet and the expanded cut tobacco, and further improves a stiffness and a spatial stability, which is not only beneficial to increase an air flow channel, but also can reduce a fall-out rate of the cut tobacco.
- Preferably, a tobacco extract, an atomizing agent and an aroma component are loaded on the formula leaf group cut tobacco and/or the tobacco sheet and/or the expanded tobacco.
- The present invention further protects a heat-not-burn cigarette which contains the heat-not-burn tobacco matrix. The heat-not-burn cigarette includes a mouth contact section, a cooling section and a heat-not-burn tobacco matrix section, wherein the heat-not-burn tobacco matrix section is the heat-not-burn tobacco matrix according to the present invention.
- The present invention further protects an application method of the heat-not-burn cigarette, which includes the following steps: inserting the heat-not-burn cigarette into a heating element for fixed heating, sucking, rotating for at least 30 degrees after sucking, and pulling out the heat-not-burn cigarette.

The air flow enters the heater and the cigarette through the vent holes, the cigarette is inserted into the sleeve through the cigarette insertion opening and receives heat from the heating element, and the sleeve is provided with a positioning piece, so that the heat-not-burn tobacco matrix can receive the heat of the heating element to the maximum extent.
- The specific operation during use is as follows:
- (1) inserting the heat-not-burn cigarette into the heating cavity through the cigarette insertion opening and contacting with the positioning piece;
- (2) pressing the power switch to start heating, so that the heat of the heating element heats the heat-not-burn tobacco matrix for people to suck; and
- (3) rotating for at least 30 degrees after sucking, and pulling out the heat-not-burn cigarette.
- The root cause why the cut tobacco does not fall off lies in stable structure and moderate strength thereof. Even if a heating rod is inserted, the structure can be guaranteed to be stable, and an extrusion effect of the heating rod can make an internal shape not change obviously after heating.
- Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects.
- (1) According to the heat-not-burn cigarette of the present invention, the expanded tobacco is disorderly mixed and intertwined with other tobacco constituents, so that a good supporting effect is achieved on the tobacco matrix, an overall stability of the whole tobacco matrix is ensured, and a cut tobacco adjusting rate is effectively reduced.
