Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rolling unit and a rolling method for a filler rod.
  • PTL 1 describes a rolling unit used for filter attachment of a tobacco rod.
  • the rolling unit rolls a serial body including a tobacco rod and a filter rod coaxially disposed, and wraps the serial body with a tipping paper during the rolling to connect the serial body to form an intermediate product of a smoking article.
  • the rolling unit includes a rolling drum and a rolling block.
  • the rolling drum has an outer periphery for holding a tipping paper and a serial body and conveys the tipping paper and the serial body in a circumferential direction of the outer periphery.
  • the rolling block has a rolling surface facing the outer periphery of the rolling drum.
  • a rolling space is formed between the rolling surface and outer periphery of the rolling drum.
  • a tobacco rod filled with a tobacco raw material is defined as a filler rod filled with a flavor raw material (there can be a case where a tobacco raw material is not contained) in a broad sense.
  • a filled part obtained by cutting the filler rod is a component of a heat-not-burn flavor inhaling article.
  • a heater of a device used to use the flavor inhaling article heats the filled part when inserted into the filled part and generates an aerosol of a flavor component.
  • the resistance to insert the heater to the filled part increases to make it difficult to insert the heater, with the result that operability during inhalation deteriorates.
  • the resistance to insert the heater may lead to breakage of the heater.
  • the filling amount of flavor raw material that fills the filler rod can be reduced as compared to the existing art. In consideration of a situation in terms of costs for a flavor inhaling article, the filling amount of flavor raw material can be reduced.
  • a wrapping machine forms a flavor raw material into a filler and continuously wraps the filler with a wrapping paper.
  • a packing density of flavor raw material in the filler rod decreases.
  • the hardness of the filler rod decreases, that is, the filler rod softens.
  • the reaction force of the filler rod which is generated at the time when the filler rod is sandwiched in the rolling space and rolled, decreases; in other words, the filler rod is difficult to elastically deform. Therefore, when the serial body rolls in the rolling space, adhesion between the rolling surface and the tipping paper to which the serial body is partially bonded decreases, and frictional force applied between the rolling surface and the tipping paper decreases.
  • the rolling resistance of the filler rod decreases in the rolling space. Therefore, the filler rod partially bonded to the tipping paper slips on the tipping paper, and the tipping paper does not properly wrap all around the serial body in the circumferential direction. As a result, for example, a crease occurs in the tipping paper of a completed intermediate product or a step is formed in the tipping paper at a boundary portion between the filler rod of the completed intermediate product and an adjacent rod, such as a filter rod, so the quality of the intermediate product and the smoking article decreases.
  • the present invention is made in view of such a problem, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a rolling unit and a rolling method for a filler rod, capable of ensuring the quality of an intermediate product and a smoking article even when the filling amount of flavor raw material is reduced.
  • a rolling unit for a filler rod forms a serial body in which a plurality of rods including a filler rod filled with a flavor raw material is disposed so as to be coaxially arranged.
  • the rolling unit forms an intermediate product of a flavor inhaling article by connecting the serial body by rolling the serial body to wrap the serial body with a tipping paper during the rolling.
  • the rolling unit includes: a rolling drum that has an outer periphery holding a tipping paper and a serial body and that conveys the tipping paper and the serial body in a circumferential direction of the outer periphery; and a rolling block that has a rolling surface facing the outer periphery of the rolling drum, the rolling block forming a rolling space between the rolling surface and the outer periphery of the rolling drum, the rolling block wrapping the serial body with the tipping paper by sandwiching and rolling the serial body in the rolling space with rotation of the rolling drum.
  • the rolling block has a plurality of block-side suction holes open at the rolling surface, and the rolling space is sucked via the block-side suction hole.
  • a rolling method for a filler rod forms a serial body in which a plurality of rods including a filler rod filled with a flavor raw material is disposed so as to be coaxially arranged and forms an intermediate product of a flavor inhaling article by connecting the serial body by rolling the serial body to wrap the serial body with a tipping paper during the rolling.
  • the rolling method includes: a conveying step of, by using a rolling drum that has an outer periphery that holds the tipping paper and the serial body, conveying the tipping paper and the serial body in a circumferential direction of the outer periphery; and a rolling step of, by using a rolling block that has a rolling surface facing the outer periphery of the rolling drum and that forms a rolling space between the rolling surface and the outer periphery of the rolling drum, wrapping the serial body with the tipping paper by sandwiching and rolling the serial body in the rolling space with rotation of the rolling drum.
  • the rolling step includes a suction process of sucking the rolling space via a plurality of block-side suction holes that are open at the rolling surface of the rolling block.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a filter attachment process for connecting a filler rod FR to a filler rod TR.
  • the filter attachment process initially prepares a filler rod DTR having a length twice as long as a filled part T of a flavor inhaling article C (hereinafter, also simply referred to as article C).
  • the center of the filler rod DTR in a longitudinal direction is cut into two equal filler rods TR.
  • a filter rod FR having a length twice as long as a filter part F of the article C is prepared, and the filter rod FR is disposed between the two filler rods TR.
  • the intermediate product B is cut at the center in the longitudinal direction from outside the tipping paper P to finally form two articles C.
  • This filter attachment process is performed by conveying the filler rod DTR, the filler rod TR, the filter rod FR, the tipping paper P, the serial body A, and the intermediate product B on the outer peripheries of drums that make up a train of drums.
  • a flavor raw material that is a component of a filler of a filler rod TR is, for example, shredded tobacco, an article obtained by shredding a tobacco sheet, or an article obtained by gathering a tobacco sheet.
  • a flavor raw material may be an article obtained by adding a flavoring agent to a sheet made from pulp not containing tobacco, an article obtained by shredding a sheet made from a non-tobacco plant, or an article obtained by gathering a sheet of any one of them.
