Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of aerosol generation technology, in particular to an aerosol-generating product.
- aerosol-generating products have received attention from a wide range of tobacco consumers and have rapidly emerged worldwide, driving a great change in the world's tobacco landscape.
- the aerosol-generating products whose aerosol forming matrix such as the tobacco matrix, is heated rather than burned, have attracted much attention because of the significant advantage in reducing the release of harmful constituents.
- the heat-not-burn tobacco products are mainly composed of two portions: a cigarette and a heating device, wherein the profile of the cigarette is not substantially different from that of a conventional cigarette, which conforms to the characteristics of the heat-not-burn tobacco, but the heating device needs to be carried, which brings inconvenience to consumers.
- the existing self-heating non-combustion cigarette includes a self-heating source and a tobacco matrix, the self-heating source is located at the end of the cigarette, such as carbon, and the tobacco matrix and the self-heating source are wrapped by cigarette paper.
- the cigarette paper consists of aluminum foil and a heat-not-burn tobacco paper layer, the aluminum foil wraps the tobacco matrix and the self-heating source, and the paper layer wraps the aluminum foil. After the carbon is ignited, the aluminum foil transfers the heat to the tobacco matrix. The tobacco matrix will not burn, but its internal volatile constituents will be released, condensed and atomized to form the aerosol for puffing.
- the prior art records the improved cigarette paper which is adapt to the heat-not-burn tobacco
- the Chinese patent document with the publication number CN104452479B discloses a composite cigarette paper.
- the cigarette made of the cigarette paper is similar to the existing cigarette in appearance.
- the cut tobacco is heated through the heat generated by the burning of the outer cigarette paper via the aluminum foil layer, and the volatile constituents, such as aroma constituents and nicotine, produced by the heating and volatilization of the cut tobacco enter the mouth during puffing, thereby making a unique new type of low-temperature non-combustion tobacco product.
- the Chinese patent document with the publication number CN204224923U discloses a cigarette paper with a certain thickness and high air permeability and high gram weight. Then, the aluminum foil is compounded on the cigarette paper through a binder, and then laser, electrostatic or mechanical drilling is carried out, so that the cigarette made of the cigarette paper is similar to the existing cigarette in appearance. After the cigarette is rolled and formed, the aluminum foil layer directly contacts with the cut tobacco.
- the aluminum foil When the cigarette is ignited, the aluminum foil is heated by the combustion of the cigarette layer and the heat is transferred to the cut tobacco, and the volatile constituents such as aroma constituents and nicotine produced by the heating and volatilization of the cut tobacco are pumped into the mouth, thus making a unique new type of tobacco product.
- the main problems of the aerosol-generating products are less smoke and higher aerosol temperature.
- the conventional solid cellulose acetate tows of traditional cigarettes have high aerosol retention rate, which leads to less release of the aerosol-generating products and affects consumer experiences.

- the pressure drop is measured as follows: a tested sample is completely sealed in a measuring apparatus to ensure no air leakage according to the national standard of GB/T 22838 , when the sample is passed by a steady airflow and the flow rate at the output end is 17.5mL/s under standard conditions, the static pressure difference at both ends of the sample is measured.

- the first cavity 21 is an equal-section body
- the second cavity 31 is an equal-section body
- the third cavity 41 is an equal-section body. That is, the first cavity 21 has a hollow cylindrical shape, the second cavity 31 has a hollow cylindrical shape, and the second cavity 31 has a hollow cylindrical shape.
- the equivalent diameter of the first cavity 21 is D1 and the equivalent diameter of the second cavity 31 is D2.
- the equivalent diameter of the cavity is the diameter of a circular cavity.

- the aperture of the second cavity 31 of the second portion 3 is larger than the aperture of the first cavity 21 of the first portion 2. That is, the first cavity 21 of the first portion 2 has a "small cavity structure” and the second cavity 31 of the second portion 3 has a "large cavity structure”.
- D2/D1 When D2/D1 is too large, that is, D2 is too large or D1 is too small, the too large D2 may cause quality problems such as deformation or even fracture of the aerosol-generating product caused by the insufficient strength of the second portion 3 to support the insertion of a heating element into the aerosol-generating matrix 1. If D1 is too small, the wall thickness of the first portion is too thick, which will increase the retention effect on the aerosol, and the heat transfer resistance of the corresponding portion is too large, which is not conducive to the cooling of the aerosol, the temperature of the aerosol at the outlet is too high and the consumption experience is affected. When D2/D1 is too small, that is, the D2 and D1 are too large or too small synchronously, it may also cause insufficient strength of the aerosol-generating product, too strong aerosol retention effect and too high aerosol temperature at the outlet.

- the wall thickness and strength of the small cavity structure are capable of preventing axial displacement of the tobacco substances that may occur during insertion of the heating element into the aerosol-generating matrix 1.
- the small thermal resistance corresponding to the thin wall of the large cavity structure is conducive to the temperature reduction of the aerosol.
- the supplement of cold air during the puffing process can promote the condensation of water vapor in the aerosol to release heat in advance, thus further reducing the temperature of the aerosol system at the outlet of the filter portion to prevent the aerosol temperature from overheating.
- the aerosol temperature at the outlet end of the filter portion is 40 °C to 70 °C, including 40 °C and 70 °C.
