  • BACKGROUND
  • With consumers' increasing attention to health and demand for personalized experience of cigarette products, various heating cigarettes with reduced coke and harm have been developed as a continuous response to the upgrading of consumers' needs. Among which, heat-not-burning cigarettes can provide a healthier smoking experience while satisfying consumers' sensory requirements for cigarette products due to their different heating methods from traditional cigarette products.
  • Existing heating cigarettes mainly include a smoking core material segment, a hollow support segment, a cooling segment and a filter segment. In order to introduce air, increase ventilation volume and effectively reduce the temperature of the smoke, the method of online laser drilling is often used to perforate in the hollow support segment of the heating cigarette, and the pipe wall of the hollow support segment as well as the shaping paper and tipping paper wrapping the hollow support segment are perforated to form ventilation pores and introduce air; however, this method still has the following problems: 1. The process of online laser drilling has higher requirements on the pipe-wall material and thickness of the hollow support segment, the material of the hollow support segment pipe wall can neither collapse during the process, nor be too thick to perforate during the process; 2. the process of online laser drilling has high requirements on laser power, in case laser drilling equipment fails to perforate the pipe wall of the hollow support segment, problems of unqualified heating cigarettes and overheating of smoke temperature may arise; 3. at present, ventilation pores are formed by punching through the hollow support segment as well as the shaping paper and tipping paper wrapping the hollow support segment, outside air directly enters the hollow support segment through the ventilation pores, quick air introduction of ventilation pores, limited contact area between the introduced air and the snoke, and uneven mixing may result in an increase in the amount of smoke inhaled into the consumer's mouth, while smoke concentration is low as it is obviously mixed with a large amount of air, so that smoking quality is seriously affected.
  • Besides, problems of using physical perforation method to make the wall of heating cigarette pipe ventilate include nonadjustable permeability volume and fixed permeability position; as introduction of air through physical perforation only lies in where to perforate and where to introduce ambient air for ventilation and cooling, permeability rate is fixed with the size of the hole. However, as the smoking segment material or the adapted smoking apparatus changes, it is desirable that air permeability and permeation position of the heating cigarette can be adjusted.
  • Thus, it is desirable to design a heating cigarette that can ensure not only the cooling effect for the smoke, but also the smoking amount and the quality of the smoke, as well as air permeability and its volume of the heating cigarette can be adjusted.
  • The present disclosure is proposed to solve the above problems.

  • A second aspect of the present disclosure provides a method for adjusting the heating cigarette with adjustable pipe-wall air permeability and permeation position of the first aspect of the present disclosure, air permeability and permeation position of the smoke extraction segment 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the size and position of the area of the smoke extraction segment 2 covered by the tipping paper 5, thereby adjusting air permeability and permeation position of the heating cigarette.
  • Besides, the heating cigarette filter rod with natural permeability function of the present disclosure is not limited to only include the smoke extraction segment 2 and the functional filter rod segment 3; according to actual needs, it can also be a ternary composite structure, other functional segments such as support segment, cooling segment, and aroma enhancement segment can be added.
  • Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects:
    1. 1. The heating cigarette with adjustable pipe-wall air permeability and permeation position of the present disclosure, includes a smoke extraction segment 2 with permeability function itself, outside air can enter the inside of the heating cigarette through the smoke extraction segment 2; the tipping paper 5 only partially wraps the smoke extraction segment 2, the outer part of the smoke extraction segment 2 close to the smoking segment 1 is only equipped with the shaping paper 4, without being wrapped by the tipping paper 5; the shaping paper 4 is permeable, while the tipping paper 5 is impermeable, the length and position of the tipping paper 5 are adjustable, so that air permeability and permeation position of the smoke extraction segment 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the size and position of the area of the smoke extraction segment 2 covered by the tipping paper 5, thereby adjusting air permeability and permeation position of the heating cigarette. Due to the cigarette structure of the present disclosure, air permeability volume and position of the smoke extraction segment 2 can be more flexibly controlled through controlling the length of the tipping paper 5.
    2. 2. The heating cigarette filter rod with natural permeability function of the present disclosure includes a smoke extraction segment 2, wherein the pipe wall 21 of the smoke extraction segment 2 does not need to be perforated due to its permeability, there are ventilation pores inside the pipe wall 21, outside air can enter the pipe cavity 22 through the ventilation pores inside the pipe wall 21; in other words, the pipe wall 21 itself has pores with natural ventilation effect, the shaping paper 4 and the tipping paper 5 are used together to achieve permeability of the pipe wall of the cooling segment, outside air enters the inside of the heating cigarette through the pores to mix with the smoke, so as to achieve the purpose of introducing air into the inside of the heating cigarette without perforating while avoiding the problems caused by perforating on the pipe wall 21 of the smoke extraction segment 2.
    3. 3. In the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the pipe wall 21 is molded by particles adhesion and extrusion, the voids among particles play a role of natural ventilation after molding; after the particles form a hollow pipe, the voids among the particles in the pipe wall are dispersed, compared with directly perforating the cooling segment, the air introduced into the smoke extraction segment filled with particles of the present disclosure is more dispersed, while ensuring that the amount of air introduced is enough for cooling, the air can also be uniformly introduced into the heating cigarette, so that the air introduced and smoke are mixed more evenly, thus solving the problem of poor smoke quality due to uneven mixing of air and smoke, just like the drilling process mentioned before, which only guarantees the introduction of a large amount of air to achieve the cooling effect.
    4. 4. In case the particles are used in solid cooling rods, although the cooling effect is good, the smoke must pass through the particle pores in the solid cooling rods to reach the filter tip for consumers to smoke, leading to a large amount of smoke adsorption of the solid cooling rods. In the present disclosure, while introducing air to reduce the temperature of the smoke, selection of particle materials is also critical. The particle materials of the present disclosure are selected from those with a cooling effect, when the smoke passes through, the pipe wall material of the smoke extraction segment can also cool down the smoke.
    5. 5. In the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the pipe wall 21 is an acetate cellulose tow, which is not the traditional acetate tow used for filters, the acetate tow used for the pipe wall 21 of the present disclosure is based on medium cigarettes, making the acetate tow itself porous and permeable, like a window screen with grid. Compared with directly perforating the cooling segment, the air introduced into the smoke extraction segment of the acetate tow is more dispersed, while ensuring that the amount of air introduced is enough for cooling, the air can also be uniformly introduced into the heating cigarette, so that the air introduced and smoke are mixed more evenly, thus solving the problem of poor smoke quality due to uneven mixing of air and smoke, just like the drilling process mentioned before, which only guarantees the introduction of a large amount of air to achieve the cooling effect.
    6. 6. In the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the pipe wall 21 can also be made of a permeable ceramic material with permeability function while providing support.
