Abstract

Products called IQOS, glo, and Ploom S, sold as heated cigarettes, use cigarettes with a filter attached to tobacco leaves treated to emit smoke when heated, and allow users to enjoy nicotine-tobacco flavor evaporated by inserting the same into an exclusive heating jig and heating the tobacco leaves with a built-in heater. However, the products cannot separately change the amount of smoke or the nicotine flavor to suit the taste of a smoker. Therefore, the inventor of the present invention has invented a smoking jig where a so-called electronic cigarette smoke generating unit (=atomizer) is incorporated in a jig, and the heater for heating the tobacco leaves and the heater for generating smoke of electronic cigarettes are separately controlled, thereby allowing the smoking according to the taste of smokers. Furthermore, since the jig can also use tobacco leaves for pipes or cut cigarettes with filters for lighting smoking, and thus it is possible to enjoy smoking with low running cost.

Description

Smoking JIG {SMOKING JIG}

In the present invention, an atomizer of an electronic cigarette is squeezed (installed/mounted) in a smoking jig that is capable of sucking up nicotine evaporating from the tobacco leaf by heating the tobacco leaf with a heater, When a smoker aspirates from a cigarette filter fitted with a heated tobacco filter inserted in the jig, or from a drop tip attached to a tobacco leaf insertion tube containing tobacco leaves, the nicotine/tobacco flavor generated by heating the tobacco leaf and the atom The present invention relates to a smoking jig capable of simultaneously suctioning the vapor (smoke) generated by the miser. Here, the atomizer of the electronic cigarette is to generate vapor (smoke) by adding a liquid containing glycerin, propylene glycol, or the like as a main component, and heating the liquid with a heater in the atomizer. Hereinafter, in this application, this vapor (smoke) is expressed as smoke of an electronic cigarette.

Heated cigarettes are IQOS (IQOS), which Philip Morris launched in Japan in 2014, Glo, which BAT began test sales in Sendai City in 2016, and Plume, which JT launched in 2019. It is a product called Ploom S. These are products in which nicotine, tobacco flavor, and smoke are released by inserting a cigarette with a special filter into a special smoking jig and heating the tobacco leaf with the heater with a heater in the jig. When the tobacco leaf part of a cigarette with a filter attached to a regular smoking fire is heated with a heater, the flavor of nicotine and cigarettes comes out as it is, but little smoke comes out. The tobacco leaves of the cigarettes with a dedicated filter are used with special chemical treatments such as smoke when heated by a heater. Cigarettes with a filter for IQOS are heated to about 300°C and are called “heat sticks”. Cigarettes with a length of about 7.2φ of about 45mm, and with a filter for glow are heated to about 300°C. A cigarette cigarette with a length of about 5.2 φ and a filter for plum S is heated to about 200° C. and is called a “cigarette stick”, and is about 7.0 φ and about 55 mm in length. As described above, since the heating temperature and the diameter and length of the filter-mounted cigarette are different from each company's heating type cigarette filter, it is not possible to smoke with one heating jig. However, any of the filter portions of the cigarettes with these filters have a lot of gaps in order to transfer them to the mouth of a smoker without absorbing nicotine, tobacco flavor, or smoke generated by heating tobacco leaves. In addition, many of the cigarettes with a filter that are lit and smoked are usually about 8.0 phi.

The present invention relates to further improvement of the smoking jig described in Patent Document 1. The inventor of the present application initiated the smoking jig, asked a smoker to use it, and investigated the problem. As a result, when using the smoking jig, using a cigarette leaf of a conventional filter attached cigarette, or using a ``heat stick'', when replacing the cigarette holding part, the heating tube part also falls out, Whenever the cigarette used was changed, I knew that it needed to be reassembled, and it turned out that it was a very difficult jig to use.

The smoking jig according to the present invention has a heater that heats the inserted tobacco leaf and an atomizer that generates electronic cigarette smoke, and the smoke generated by the atomizer is heated by heating the tobacco leaf with the heater. In a smoking jig added to the generated nicotine/tobacco flavor, and allowing a smoker to suck in it, by simply exchanging the tobacco holding part 93, different outer diameters and different lengths Cigarettes with filters of can also be used.

In addition, in the cigarette holding portion used in the smoking jig, the cigarette holding portion has a protruding portion 610, and by changing the inner diameter, it is possible to use a cigarette with a filter having a different outer diameter.

In addition, the tobacco introduction pipe 605 has a smoke inlet 606 in a location not covered by the tip of the inserted cigarette.

In addition, the heating cylinder portion 702 has a space 705 for determining an insertion location of the inserted cigarette and guiding smoke from the atomizer to the side of the cigarette.

According to the present invention, an atomizer for an electronic cigarette and a tobacco leaf heating container are placed in a smoking jig, and both have a structure such that air does not leak, and the power and application time supplied to the atomizer heater and the tobacco leaf heating are used. By separately controlling the power and time supplied to the heater, it becomes possible to set a preferred amount of smoke and a preferred nicotine/tobacco flavor, and various smoking methods can be enjoyed. Further, smoking by putting tobacco leaves into the tobacco leaf insertion tube is also possible, and it has become possible to significantly reduce the smoking cost. Furthermore, even if the type of cigarette with a filter to be inserted is different, it is possible to cope with only the replacement of the cigarette holder.

In addition, the P plate C (12) and the P plate B (11) may be bonded to each other, or may be made of a single P plate. Furthermore, two to four pins are used between the P plate D 13 and the P plate B 11, so that the positional relationship between them does not move in some cases.

3 is a cross-sectional view in the axial direction of a heating cylinder 91 used in the present invention. The heating cylinder portion 91 is substantially the same as that described in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3, but the heating cylinder portion 91 used in the present invention is described using FIG. 3. The heater unit 92 constituting the heating cylinder 91 includes a heater 131, a P plate A(10), a P plate B(11), a P plate C(12), a P plate D(13), and P It is composed of a plate E (14), a pin D (59), and a pin C (58). The P plate A10 includes a wiring C60, a wiring D61, and a hole 62. The two legs of the heater 131 are soldered on the P plate B (11), and are wired to the P plate A (10) using the wiring C (60) and the wiring D (61), furthermore, pin C (58). ), it is wired to pin D (59). With this wiring, it is obvious that power supply to the heater 131 can be performed by connecting to a power source on the right side of the pins C58 and D59. However, the heater 131 used in the present invention is made by printing a resistance material on the surface of a ceramic rod, and has a structure different from that disclosed in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3, but has the same function. However, in this application, the diameter of the P plate B (11), the P plate C (12), and the P plate D (13) is made slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the inner tube (5), and from the hole 62 The smoke of the incoming electronic cigarette passes through the space made by the P plate A(10) and the P plate B(11), and the inner diameter of the inner tube 5 and the P plate B(11), P plate C(12), It is made so as to pass through a gap with the outer diameter of the P plate D 13, or a hole made also in these three P plates. The heating cylinder 91 is a thin-walled AL tube 5 inserted into the heater 92, and a circular groove is formed on the P plate A 10 on the left side of the AL tube 5 And made to fit into the groove. Furthermore, in some cases, an O-ring is put in or fixed with a heat-resistant adhesive to prevent air from leaking from the fitting portion.

The smokeless smoking apparatus 100 disclosed in Patent Literature 2 or Patent Literature 3 uses a cigarette "heat stick" 68 with a filter for IQOS, and cannot be used as IQOS, but slide SW ( 121), the slide SW 222 is used to set the heating temperature or heating time of the inserted tobacco leaf to the smoker's preferred temperature or time.

In the case of using the smoking jig disclosed in Patent Document 1, it cannot be used unless the cigarette holding portion and the heater portion are incorporated. However, even in the case of replacing the cigarette holding part, it falls out to the heater part. In the case of practical use, it is inconvenient that the heater part is also removed, and there has been a request for a structure in which only the cigarette holding part can be replaced from the monitor actually used.

Therefore, the inventor of the present application, as shown in Fig. 1, provided a vertical portion 611 at the right end of the lower outer tube 105, and in the vertical portion 611, as shown in Fig. 2, the button It has SW 6 and two connectors 202, and a P plate 602 having a hole through which the inserted cigarette passes is attached to the center. The button SW 6 and the connector 202 are wired with a control circuit (not shown). In addition, in Patent Document 1, the portion indicated as the bush 230 is replaced by the silicon 230 with holes in this application. The reason for this change is that when attaching the atomizer 94 with a bush, it is a little difficult to accurately insert the tip end of the bush 230 into the hole 62 of the P plate A 10. This is because silicon with holes only needs to be in contact with the P plate A in a plane regardless of the holes 62, and can be easily inserted.

4 is a cross-sectional view in the axial direction of the cigarette holding part 93 according to the present invention. A tobacco insertion pipe 605 having a smoke inlet 606, a hole 607 through which the heater passes, and a tip part A 109 having a tobacco insertion port 608, a P plate F 17, and a spring ( 20), a screw hole 74, and a tip part B (110). In addition, the tip part B (110) has a projection (610). The protrusion 610 is fitted with an O-ring 400 made of silicone in order to improve the sealing property between the cigarette insertion tube 605 and the inner tube 5. While pressing down the P plate F(17), insert the cigarette with the filter from the cigarette insertion opening 608 to the inside, and stop pushing the P plate F(17) down, then by the force of the spring 20, P The plate F (17) is pushed upward, and the cigarette cigarette with the inserted filter is not removed. At this time, the inner diameter of the protrusion 610 is made to be approximately the same as the outer diameter of the cigarette with a filter inserted therein, and the air is hardly received from this portion. When the diameter and length of the inserted cigarette are different, it is obvious that it is possible to respond by changing the inner diameter of the protrusion 610 and the length of the cigarette insertion tube 605. In addition, the protrusion 610 may be made from an AL tube. The reason is that the thickness of the protrusion portion 610 can be made thin, and portions other than the protrusion portion can be used as a common component. That is, by making the protrusion to the AL tube, by changing the thickness of the AL tube, even if the diameter of the cigarette with the filter inserted is different, it becomes possible to cope with it. The tobacco insertion tube 605 is made by cutting or molding so that it may have a shape as shown in a cross-sectional view. AL or PTFE is used as the material. In addition, the smoke inlet 606 which is also pierced in the cigarette insertion tube 605 is for efficiently transferring the smoke generated by the atomizer 94 to the mouth of the smoker. In the absence of the smoke inlet 606, the smoke is received from the hole 607 into the cigarette insertion tube 605, and is transferred to the smoker's mouth, but at this time, the smoke is a tobacco leaf in the cigarette insertion tube. It passes through the inside, and at this time, considerable smoke particles are absorbed by the tobacco leaves, and it can be seen that about a third of the resulting smoke does not reach the smoker's mouth. So, by installing the smoke inlet 606 as a bypass through which smoke passes (hole 606 → cigarette rolling paper → filter unit → smoker's mouth), most of the generated smoke is transferred to the smoker's mouth. I could see that.

In order to make the tobacco insertion pipe 605 inexpensively, the inventor of the present application cut the AL pipe to the required dimensions, and inserted the PTFE bush 710 shown in FIG. 9 into the distal end thereof. By doing this, an expensive molding die is unnecessary, there is no need to use an expensive cutting process, and a very inexpensive cigarette insertion tube 605 can be made. In addition, when cutting an AL pipe, an AL pipe of twice the length of the required dimension is first created, and the center thereof is cut with a tube cutter having a rotating blade. At this time, it can be seen that by slightly deteriorating the degree of lifting of the rotating blade, the cutting point is slightly deformed inside, and after cutting, it becomes a cut surface that is tightened in the end face, and the inserted bush becomes difficult to come off. there was. In addition, a part of the notch portion 711 of the bush 710 functions like the smoke inlet 606 shown in FIG. 4. Furthermore, there are times when a notch is also provided in the protrusion 712 of the bush 710. This notch portion can play a role of preventing smoke from passing by blocking the hole 607 by the tip of the inserted cigarette. In addition, it is obvious that the bush 710 performs the same function even if it is a washer without a protrusion. Furthermore, when the AL pipe is cut to the required dimensions and a bush or washer is used, the length of the AL pipe is made constant, and by changing the insertion position of the bush or washer, it is possible to cope with cigarettes with filters of different lengths. There is also an advantage.

5 is a cross-sectional view in the axial direction of the smoking jig according to the present invention in a state in which there is no tobacco holding part (a power supply part and a control part are omitted). In the structure shown in FIG. 2, the heating cylinder part 91 shown in FIG. 3 is incorporated. In this state, it operates as a smoking jig. That is, the pin C 58 and the pin D 59 of the heating cylinder 91 are inserted into the connector 202 on the P plate 602 and connected to the control circuit portion.

6 is a cross-sectional view in the axial direction in a state in which the cigarette holding portion 93 shown in FIG. 4 is inserted from the right into the smoking jig in the state of FIG. 5. In this state, a screw (not shown) is inserted into the screw hole 74 to be fixed. By making three types of cigarette holders 93 for "heat sticks", for "cigarette sticks", or for tobacco leaves, the cigarette holders 93 can be used in exchange for only the cigarettes to be used. Became possible.

8 is a heating cylinder 702 of another embodiment of the present invention. The heater 131 is located outside the heating cylinder 702 and heats the entire cylinder. The insertion portion 701, the heating cylinder portion 702, the atomizer connection portion 703, and the stopper 704 are made of heat-resistant resin such as PTFE by cutting or molding. Alternatively, an atomizer can be created at the atomizer connection. The characteristic of this shape is that the stopper 704 is made. The role of the stopper 704 is that the inserted heat stick 68 is not inserted anymore, and the smoke passing through the atomizer connection part 703 is passed through the space 705, and the heat stick 68 is It leads to the side. Without this stopper 704, the tip of the inserted heat stick 68 clogs the hole of the atomizer connection part 703, and smoke from the atomizer does not sufficiently propagate to the smoker's mouth.

In addition, in the smoking jig of the present invention, built-in software is made so that it can be customized according to the customer. First, when the power is turned on while pressing the button SW, the built-in software is made so that the set values of the slide SW1 and the slide SW2 are read. Since slide SW uses 3 contacts in one circuit, if slide SW1 = 1 setting and slide SW2 = 1, 2, 3 are set, the smoke generation time of atomizer is 3 seconds, 3.5 seconds, 4 seconds, It can be customized. If you set the slide SW1 = 2 and slide SW2 = 1, 2, 3, you can customize the built-in buzzer to sound, not sound, and use only electronic cigarettes. By setting slide SW1 = 3 and setting slide SW2 = 1, 2, 3, smoking time can be customized as 4.5 minutes, 5.5 minutes, 6.5 minutes.

Further, the heating temperature of tobacco leaf heating is DC driven with the output voltage of the lithium ion rechargeable battery immediately after the power is turned on, the temperature of the heater is rapidly increased, and the waiting time until the start of smoking is shortened. Further, a design such as applying a voltage so as to slightly increase the heating temperature of the heater from about 1 minute before the end of smoking to expel nicotine remaining in the tobacco leaves is also made.

Furthermore, since the resistance values of the heater of the atomizer and the heater 131 are very low, about 1.0 to about 2.0 Ω, when energized at the same time, the internal impedance of the lithium ion rechargeable battery greatly reduces the output voltage. , It cannot be turned on at the same time. Therefore, for a few seconds during smoke generation, electric power cannot be supplied to the heater for heating tobacco leaves, and thus, there has also been a problem that the heating temperature of tobacco leaves decreases during smoke generation. In order to solve this problem, the inventor of the present invention is a method of rapidly recovering the heater temperature by directly applying an output voltage of a lithium ion rechargeable battery to a heater, a time proportional to the smoke generation time, and heating tobacco leaves even when smoke is generated. Dragon's heater temperature can now be kept constant. In addition, power supply to a normal heater does not directly apply the voltage of a lithium ion rechargeable battery, but is supplied by changing to a square wave output.

An atomizer for electronic cigarettes and a tobacco leaf heating box are placed in the smoking jig, and both have a structure such that air does not leak, and the power and application time supplied to the atomizer heater and the power supplied to the heater for heating tobacco leaves By controlling the time separately, it becomes possible to set the preferred amount of smoke and the preferred nicotine/cigarette flavor, and a smoking jig that can enjoy various smoking methods has been developed. Further, smoking by putting tobacco leaves into the tobacco leaf insertion tube is also possible, and it has become possible to significantly reduce the smoking cost. Furthermore, even if the type of cigarette with a filter to be inserted is different, it is possible to cope with only the replacement of the cigarette holder 93.
