Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
As the aerosol forming material used in the present invention, for example, those manufactured as follows are used. Examples of the material for forming the aerosol forming material include a carrier for supporting the aerosol former, the aerosol former, and a flavor additive used as needed.

As the carrier that supports the aerosolformer, various sites of use of tobacco plants or non-tobacco plants (for example, roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, bark, seeds, tree trunks or tree branches) are used. , Preferably used in the form of being dried and pulverized.

In addition to the plant parts as described above, the carrier supporting the aerosolformer includes rubbers such as guar gum, xanthan gum, arabic rubber and locust bean gum, for example, hydroxypropyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose and ethyl cellulose. Cellulose binders such as starch, organic acids such as alginic acid, polysaccharides such as conjugated base salts of organic acids such as sodium alginate, agar and pectin, and combinations thereof are also used.

Aerosolformers include glycerin, propylene glycol, sorbitol, triethylene glycol, lactic acid, diacetin (glycerin diacetate), triacetin (glycerin triacetate), triethylene glycol diacetate, triethyl citrate, isopropyl myristate, stearer. Methyl acid, dimethyl dodecandionate, dimethyl tetradecanesandioate and the like can be used, but glycerin and propylene glycol are particularly preferably used. These are used in an amount of 1% by mass or more and 80% by mass or less with respect to the aerosol forming material, and particularly preferably 10% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less.

In addition to the aerosol former carrier and the aerosol former, a flavor additive that adds flavor as needed is also preferably used. Examples of the flavor additive include hakka, cocoa, coffee, black tea extract and the like. Further, when an aerosol forming material is produced using the above materials, various additives such as water, ethyl alcohol, and a thickener may be added in addition to the above.

For example, when the filling material is prepared as a sheet, for example, as shown in Special Table 2010-520764, a sheet containing the tobacco material as described above is prepared, and an aerosol former is added to the prepared sheet. As shown in Table 2017-529848, a method of combining an aerosol former, cellulose fibers and tobacco powder to form a slurry and then forming a sheet can be mentioned.

Further, when the filling material is prepared in the form of a rod or a strip, the material of the carrier supporting the aerosol former as described above, the aerosol former or the like and water are mixed, and a sheet containing an appropriate amount of water is desired. Mold or cut into rod or strip shape.

The reason why the inorganic particles are preferably used in the present invention is that when the aerosol-forming base material in the present invention is heated, the inorganic substances are not easily decomposed by the heating.

The presence of inorganic particles on the surface of the filler prevents the fillers containing the aerosolformer from coming into direct contact with each other. By creating such a situation, when the aerosol former exudes to the surface of the aerosol forming material and the abundance increases in a vibration or high temperature state exposed during transportation or storage of the electronic cigarette cartridge of the present invention. Also, it is possible to prevent the aerosol forming materials from adhering to each other.

In order to obtain such an effect, it is preferable that the inorganic particles have a diameter of about 1 μm or more and 1000 μm or less. Further, it is preferable that the thickness is 5 μm or more because it functions more preferably as a spacer between the fillers. Further, it is more preferably 10 μm or more. Further, it is preferable that the thickness is 50 μm or less because it has a sufficient spacer effect and can sufficiently fill the filling material.

In the present invention, the diameter of the inorganic particles means a diameter corresponding to a circle obtained by taking an image of the inorganic particles on the surface of the filling with an optical microscope of the inorganic particles or, if necessary, an electron microscope. That is, the diameter of the circle equal to the area of the projected image of the inorganic particles is defined as the diameter of the particles.
The presence of inorganic particles on the surface of the aerosol-forming material is, for example, the observation result of about 10 particles when the aerosol-forming base material is decomposed and the surface of the aerosol-forming material is set to a magnification of about 500 and a field of view of 100 μm × 100 μm. by. In addition, the magnification may be increased if necessary. It is also preferable to confirm with a scanning electron microscope equipped with XMA (X-ray microanalysis) for confirmation that it is an inorganic substance.

Further, in the present invention, for the measurement of the particle size of the inorganic powder, for example, a laser diffraction / scattering type particle size distribution measuring device is used. The powder as a sample is preferably measured wet. For example, Microtrack MT3300III manufactured by Microtrack Bell Co., Ltd. is used. In the present invention, the average particle size means a diameter of 50% by accumulating volume-based distributions in the range of 0.02 μm to 2000 μm.

As an example of the method of adhering the inorganic particles to the surface of the aerosol forming material, it is mentioned that the inorganic powder is added to the aerosol forming material and mixed. As the inorganic powder added to the aerosol forming material, the average particle size is preferably 1 μm or more, more preferably 5 μm or more, and more preferably 10 μm or more because the effect of the present invention is further increased. Further, when the average particle size is 100 μm or less, the adhered state of the surface of the aerosol forming material can be easily maintained, and when it is 40 μm or less, a sufficient spacer effect can be obtained and the filler can be sufficiently filled, which is preferable.

The amount of the inorganic powder added is preferably 0.001 part by mass or more and 10 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the filling. More preferably, when it is 0.01 part by mass or more, a sufficient spacer effect can be obtained. A more preferable range is 0.05 parts by mass or more. Further, when it is 5 parts by mass or less, the spacer effect can be obtained and the filling material can be sufficiently filled, which is preferable. A more preferable range is 2 parts by mass or less.

In the present invention, it has been found that when an aerosol-forming substrate is formed using an aerosol-forming material having inorganic particles present on the surface, it surprisingly has an effect of reducing stains adhering to the heating element after use. It was.

In particular, when the average particle size of the inorganic powder to be added is 1 μm or more and 40 μm or less, a good effect is obtained, and when it is 5 μm or more, there is a further effect of reducing deposits. When the amount of the inorganic powder to be added is 0.01 parts by mass or more and 5 parts by mass or less, a good effect is obtained, and when it is 0.1 parts by mass or more, there is a further effect of reducing deposits. Regarding this mechanism of action, the inorganic particles exert a polishing effect on the surface when the heating element is attached or detached, scavenging of dirt is performed, or the surface of the heating element and the aerosol forming material are spacers of the inorganic particles during heating. We assume a mechanism that reduces dirt due to the small probability of direct contact due to the effect.

Examples of inorganic substances that can be used as the inorganic particles of the present invention include metal chlorides such as sodium chloride and potassium chloride, metal oxides such as magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, titanium oxide, iron oxide and alumina, and carbonic acid. Metal carbonates such as magnesium and calcium carbonate, metal sulfates such as magnesium sulfate and calcium sulfate, metal phosphates such as calcium phosphate, and titanates such as potassium titanate and magnesium titanate should also be used alone or in combination. Can be done. Although the inorganic substances used in the present invention have been exemplified above, the inorganic particles of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned composition of the inorganic substances, and also include salts with other metals. Furthermore, silicon oxide such as zeolite, colloidal silica, and fumed silica can also be used. In particular, magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, silicon oxide, and alumina can be preferably used.

In addition, a natural product containing the inorganic substance can also be used. Examples include diatomaceous earth and vermiculite.

Further, in the aerosol-forming base material of the present invention, it is necessary to appropriately fill the filler. If the filling amount is too small, the aerosol generated by heating is not sufficient, and the user feels uncomfortable when smoking. On the other hand, if the filling amount is too large, the filling will be clogged, which makes it difficult for the user to smoke, or the resistance when inserting the heating element becomes large, and the electronic cigarette cartridge is damaged.

In the present invention, the preferred form of the filling is as follows. As one example of a preferable form, FIG. 3 shows a rod-shaped or strip-shaped arrangement in the inclusion member (151) along the longitudinal direction of the aerosol-forming substrate. Further, as another preferable form, the aerosol-forming base material (110) is viewed from one end side, and the aerosol-forming base material (110) is in the form of a sheet and includes the aerosol-forming base material (110) along the longitudinal direction of the electronic cigarette cartridge. FIG. 6 shows a state in which the member (151) has a folded filler (112). Further, as another preferable form, the aerosol-forming base material (110) is viewed from one end side, and the aerosol-forming base material (110) is in the form of a sheet and includes the aerosol-forming base material (110) along the longitudinal direction of the electronic cigarette cartridge. FIG. 7 shows a state in which the member (151) has a roll-shaped filler (113) that is rolled up in the member (151).

An appropriate range of the filling amount of the filling material can be evaluated by a method of calculating the area ratio occupied by the sheet-shaped aerosol-forming material in the cross section of the aerosol-forming base material. In this case, if the state seen from one end of the aerosol-forming base material is equivalent to the cross section, this can be adopted.

For example, it can be obtained by evaluating the filling and the void portion without the filling using a digital microscope, and the measurement can be performed as follows. A digital microscope (manufactured by KEYENCE: VHX-2000) was used, and the magnification was set to 100 times and projected onto a display. The range for analyzing the image is the area where only the filling and the void portion without the filling appear. In this case, the diameter of the observed sample was 7.0 mm, the width was 3.5 mm, and the length was 2.6 mm. In the above range, the attached software was used for image analysis, and the "extraction mode" was set to "brightness" in the "automatic measurement mode". For the measurement, "standard" was selected, "extraction parameter" was set to "bright", and "threshold value" was selected so that the filling material to be observed and the void were separated. The filling rate is defined as the ratio of the filling material to the entire measurement area.

Further, in the aerosol-forming base material of the present invention, it is necessary to appropriately fill the filler. For example, if the filling rate is less than 60% and the filling amount is too small, sufficient aerosol generation by heating is not sufficient, the resistance at the time of suction when the user smokes is too low, and the suction comfort is insufficient. It becomes a thing. Further, preferably, when it is 65% or more, the sucking comfort tends to be improved. On the contrary, if the filling rate exceeds 90% and the filling amount is too large, the filling degree becomes large, which makes it difficult for the user to smoke, increases the resistance when inserting the heating element, and electronic cigarettes. The cartridge may be damaged.

As described above, the filling rate is preferably 60% or more and 90% or less. More preferably, it is 65% or more, and even more preferably 70% or more. When trying to increase the filling rate, the fillers often adhere to each other, which makes the present invention useful.

The filling prepared as described above is used for the electronic cigarette body as an electronic cigarette cartridge as follows.

FIG. 1 illustrates a mode of use of an electronic cigarette cartridge. The electronic cigarette cartridge (100) is attached to the electronic cigarette body (200) at the time of use by the user. The electronic cigarette body (200) is provided with an insertion portion (210) for inserting the electronic cigarette cartridge (100).

A heating element (211) is provided at the center of the bottom of the insertion portion (210), and the heating element (211) has a pin-shaped or blade-shaped member with a sharp tip to form an aerosol. It is inserted into the substrate (110) and heats the aerosol-forming substrate (110). More specifically, the heating element (211) is placed in the central portion of the aerosol-forming substrate (110) when the electronic cigarette cartridge (100) is inserted into the insertion portion (210) of the electronic cigarette body (200). Will be inserted.

The heating element (211) directly or indirectly generates heat by the electric power supplied from the battery (not shown) provided in the electronic cigarette body (200). The heat of the heating element (211) heats the aerosol-forming base material (110) to generate an aerosol containing an aromatic component. Then, the generated aerosol is transferred to the mouthpiece (140) via the support element (300) and the aerosol transfer member (130) described below, and the user sucks the aerosol from the mouthpiece (140) side to release the aromatic component. It will reach the user's mouth. Hereinafter, for the sake of the description of the present invention, the aerosol-forming base material (110) side of the electronic cigarette cartridge will be referred to as an upstream side (10), and the mouthpiece side will be referred to as a downstream side (20). Further, the upstream side (10) may be referred to as one end side, and the downstream side (20) may be referred to as the other end side.

Note that FIG. 1 shows a case where the heating element (211) has one pin-shaped or blade-shaped member, but as another example of the form, the heating element (211) has a pin-shaped or blade-shaped member. An example thereof is one having a plurality of shaped members.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the structure of the electronic cigarette cartridge (100). From the side where the heating element (211) is inserted, that is, from the upstream side (10) to the downstream side (20), the aerosol-forming base material (110), the support element (300), the transfer member (130), and the mouth. The structure of the piece (140) will be described.

The support element (300) supports the aerosol-forming substrate (110). The support element (300) is arranged adjacent to the aerosol-forming substrate (110), and the side portion (160) of the support element (300) is located on the peripheral edge of the electronic cigarette cartridge (100). In contact with. The side portion (160) is fixed to the inner surface of the packaging member (150) by, for example, an adhesive.

Further, the support element (300) can be preferably formed by using, for example, silicone, but the support element (300) is not limited to silicone, and other materials having excellent heat resistance may be used.

As shown in FIG. 3, the filler (111) produced as the aerosol-forming base material (110) preferably has a shape such as a rod shape or a strip shape, and the filler (111) is filled during filling. It is packed so as to follow the longitudinal direction of the shape of. Here, an example in which the inclusion member (151) formed in a cylindrical shape is filled is shown. As the inclusion member (151), a paper such as a cigarette paper formed in a cylindrical shape can be used. Further, the packaging member (150) may also serve as the inclusion member (151). This stabilizes the airflow and makes it easier for the user to inhale the aromatic component from the aerosol-forming substrate (110).

In FIG. 4, the aerosol-forming base material (110), the transfer member (130), the mouthpiece (140) and the supporting element (300) illustrated below are shown in the aerosol-forming base material (110). , The support element (300), the transfer member (130), and the mouthpiece (140) are adjacent to each other in this order, and a winding rod is formed by a packaging member (150) such as tobacco paper. At this time, the electronic cigarette cartridge (100) has a slight adhesive applied to the side portion (160) of the support element.
Next, an example of using the electronic cigarette cartridge of the present invention will be described in detail.

1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are examples of usage and appearance of the electronic cigarette cartridge.

As shown in FIG. 2, the electronic cigarette cartridge (100) has, for example, a rod-shaped or cylindrical appearance.

Inside the electronic cigarette cartridge (100), for example, as shown in FIG. 2, an aerosol-forming base material (110) is provided at one end, and a support element (300) is transferred toward the mouthpiece (140) at the other end. The members (130) are arranged in this order. Then, these are packaged by the packaging member (150).

The aerosol-forming substrate (110) is a filler for an electronic cigarette cartridge. The aerosol-forming substrate (110) generates an aerosol containing an aromatic component contained in the plant that is the source of the filling by heating.

As shown in FIG. 3, the filler as the aerosol-forming base material (110) has a shape such as a piece shape in which the long side is about 2 to 20 times as large as the short side, a strip shape, a rod shape, or the like. In the case of, the filling (111) is packed so that the longitudinal direction of the shape is along the longitudinal direction of the cartridge at the time of filling. As a result, the flow of airflow is good and it becomes easy to suck in. It should be noted that FIG. 3 is a view seen from the end of the electronic cigarette cartridge on the side where the aerosol-forming base material (110) is located, and is partially seen through so that the filler (111) inside the cartridge can be seen. However, in each case, the maximum length portion is preferably about 1 to 20 mm. This is because if the maximum length portion is too large, it may be too large to be handled when filling the cartridge. Of course, in addition to this, for example, a filling having a flat plate shape and a substantially constant shape can be rolled up and packed, so that it is easy to handle.

As the other aerosol-forming base material, it is also preferable to use a sheet formed by wrinkling, folds, gathering or folding as the shape of the sheet.

The fibrous filling, like the rod-shaped one, is packed so that the length direction of the fiber is along the longitudinal direction of the cartridge to improve the flow of sucked air.

The porous filling is one of the preferred forms because it is porous when packed in a cartridge and thus improves the flow of air when sucked. In order to make it porous, for example, it can be formed by piercing a dried sheet several times with a plurality of needles, but other methods may also be used.

Flat plates such as flakes, squares, rectangles, or rhombuses, and fillings of powders, granules, and pellets can be easily packed by dropping them into the cartridge openings. Further, it is preferable because it is easy to finely adjust the amount to be packed in the cartridge (filling amount), and it is easy to adjust the air flow when sucked by the packing amount. It can be used more preferably by taking measures to prevent it from falling off, such as by covering the cartridge opening with a lid.

The block-shaped filling has good thermal conductivity and easily draws out aromatic components. It is one of the preferred forms. In addition, the size of the block may be increased to facilitate storage. In that case, at the time of filling, the block can be remolded into a small block, a rod shape, a granular shape, or the like.

The effect of the present invention can be obtained by allowing inorganic particles to be present on the surface of the fillers having various shapes exemplified above.

The paste-like filling can be squeezed out and filled in the cartridge. Therefore, for example, it is possible to form a cartridge by applying a paste to the unfolded packaging member (150) and winding it together with the packaging member (150).

The support element (300) supports the aerosol-forming substrate (110). The support element (300) was generated from the aerosol-forming substrate (110), arranged adjacent to the aerosol-forming substrate (110), having airflow through holes, notches, etc. in the center or sides. Aerosol can be flowed toward the mouthpiece.

The mouthpiece (140) is adjacent to the transfer member (130) and is located at the other end of the electronic cigarette cartridge (100). The mouthpiece (140) may include, for example, a cellulose acetate filter as a filter for removing fine particles. The aroma component that has passed through the filter of the mouthpiece (140) is sucked by the user.

Comparing the presence or absence of the transfer member (130), it is easier to suck the generated aroma component because the air permeability is better when the transfer member (130) is not included. On the other hand, it is also preferable to insert a transfer member (130) and add a function capable of cooling the generated aerosol. Instead of adding the transfer member (130), it is also preferable to extend the mouthpiece so that it is adjacent to or in contact with the support element (300). This is because the filter used for the mouthpiece can also have a cooling function, and the number of parts can be reduced. As the transfer member (130), a hollow tubular member can be used, or one in which a crimped polymer sheet is wound in the longitudinal direction of the electronic cigarette cartridge can be used.

FIG. 5 (1) shows a configuration in which the aerosol-forming base material (110) and the supporting element (300) are in contact with each other, and the aerosol-forming base material (110) can be stably supported, which is a preferable form. .. In addition, since the structure is simple, there is a great advantage in manufacturing.

In FIG. 5 (2), a partition member (160) is provided between the aerosol-forming base material (110) and the support element (300), and the partition members (160) are in contact with each other via the partition member (160). The partition wall member (160) is preferably one that has good air permeability, such as a filter or paper, and that breaks when the heating element (211) is inserted. Providing such a partition member is effective in preventing the aerosol-forming base material (110) from moving with the electronic cigarette cartridge due to the influence of physical distribution such as during transportation.

In FIG. 5 (3), it is also preferable to have a lid (170) on the side where the heating element (211) of the aerosol-forming base material (110) is inserted. In this way, it is effective in preventing the dissipation of the aroma of the aerosol-forming base material (110). Further, there is an effect that the aerosol-forming base material (110) can be prevented from falling out from the electronic cigarette cartridge due to the influence of physical distribution such as during transportation. Examples of the material of the lid (170) include a filter, paper, and sponge. When the heating element is inserted, it is also preferable to make one or more cuts in the lid (170), or to provide a circular or polygonal guide hole at the place where the heating element is inserted. It is a form.

In particular, when granular materials such as powder, granules, flakes, and pellets are used as the aerosol-forming base material (110), it is preferable to provide a partition member (160) or a lid (170). Further, it is more preferable to provide both of them.

Next, a non-tobacco plant as a raw material will be described. The non-tobacco plant that can be used in this embodiment is not particularly limited as long as it is a plant other than tobacco. Plants can be used, for example, roots (including bulbs (bulbs), tubers (potatoes), bulbs, etc.), stems, tubers, bark (including stem bark, bark, etc.), leaves, flowers (petals, petals, etc.). Various parts such as female buds, male buds, etc.), tree trunks and branches can be used.

Examples of stems include asparagus, bamboo shoots, udo, radish, and yacon.

The potatoes or the plants listed below contain carbohydrates and are preferably used as a material for at least a part of the filling 111. For example, starch includes corn starch (corn), potato starch (potato), kansho starch (sweet potato), tapioca starch (tapioca), and the like, and there are examples of use as a thickener, stabilizer, and the like. These starches have improved acid resistance, heat resistance, share resistance, etc. by cross-linking, storage stability improvement by esterification, etherification, gelatinization promotion, etc., transparency improvement by oxidation, film property improvement, storage stability, etc. It is possible by improving it.

Obtain tamarind seed gum, guar gum, locust bean gum from plant seeds, gum arabic and karaya gum from sap, pectin from fruits, and cellulose and agarose-based konjac mannan and soybean polysaccharides from other plants. Can be done. Furthermore, it can be modified and used like cationized guar gum.
