Description

carburetor

The present invention relates to smoking articles.

In the state of the art, it is known to use flavor releasing elements, for example to at least partially limit the smoke taste. In addition, the consumer perceives the taste emitted by such a release device. However, such smoke emitting devices are generally complex to handle and not consumer friendly. Also, these release devices generally do not have much variety for different flavors. Another problem with devices known in the state of the art is that they usually require long heating times. Also, in some cases, high variability in vapor volume and taste occurs from puff to puff.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to improve the versatility of such smoke emitting devices. This object is achieved by the object of claim 1 . Preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

A vaporizer according to the present invention comprises a mouth piece in fluid communication with a vaporizing section, the vaporizing section heating at least a first vaporizing material and a vaporizable material It includes a heater for

Accordingly, it is proposed to provide a cartridge holding a tape having a vaporizable material thereon. In a preferred embodiment, the cartridge comprises a first bobbin having a tape disposed thereon. Preferably, the cartridge or vaporizer further comprises a second bobbin on which the tape can be placed and in particular during use of the vaporizer.

In a preferred embodiment, the cartridge is removable from other elements of the carburetor, in particular from the housing of the carburetor. In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizer may include a switch or the like to indicate whether the cartridge is correctly inserted into the housing of the vaporizer. In particular, the vaporizer may comprise a recess into which the cartridge can be inserted and in particular in a unique manner.

In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizable material and/or tape is removable with respect to the heater. In another preferred embodiment, the tape and/or vaporizable material is removable with respect to the housing of the cartridge. In another preferred embodiment, the housing of the cartridge is formed from a plastic material.

Preferably, it is possible to remove the cartridge together with the used tape.

In another preferred embodiment, the carburetor comprises a connection and in particular an electrical connection for charging the battery of the carburetor. This electrical connection may be, for example, a USB port.

In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizing section comprises at least two material sections which differ from each other in at least one characteristic characteristic. For example, it is possible that these two sections contain two different vaporizable substances, for example two different flavorants. These different flavoring agents may for example come from added (liquid) flavorants as well as from different base materials, for example different tobacco sheets. However, it is also possible that these two sections contain different concentrations of vaporizable material. In both cases, it is possible for the user to select which of the two sections should be heated.

In another preferred embodiment, the two material sections are essentially parallel to each other and preferably extend in the transport direction. It is possible that the entire tape preferably comprises two sections extending in the longitudinal direction of such tape. Thus, preferably in any section of the tape, both material sections are present.

It is also possible that the two sections differ from each other in their amount, their porosity, the density of the material, and the like.

In another preferred embodiment, the two material sections are separated from each other. Thus, preferably, the tape may comprise a separating strip that separates the two material sections from each other.

In a preferred embodiment, the two material sections are spaced apart from each other, the distance being greater than 0.2 mm, preferably 0.4 mm, and preferably greater than 0.6 mm.

In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the two material sections are spaced apart from each other, the distance being less than 2 mm, preferably less than 1.5 mm, and preferably less than 1 mm.

This separation serves to delimit the two sections of material from each other and prevents the heating element from heating both sections at once. In addition, the heating element may preferably comprise two sections capable of heating the two material sections independently of each other.

In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizer comprises a selector for allowing the user to select between the two material sections. More particularly, according to this selector, the user can select which of the two material sections should be heated and thus in particular should be vaporized.

In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizer has a drive for moving the material section in the conveying direction. Here, for example, an electric motor may be included which enables the transfer of the material section. Preferably, such a drive is arranged in the vaporizer itself, preferably not in the cartridge.

However, the vaporizer may include a mechanical connector for connecting the drive device to one or two bobbins of the cartridge.

In another preferred embodiment, the drive device is suitable for discontinuously conveying tapes and/or sections of material. For example, the vaporizer is capable of transferring sections of material and/or tape between puffs made by a user. In a preferred embodiment, the vaporizer may include a flow sensor suitable for detecting puffs made by the consumer.

In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizer comprises a guiding device for guiding the tape at least sectionwise along its transport path. In particular, such guiding means are suitable for preventing displacement of the tape in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction and also in particular in a direction in the conveying plane of the tape.

For example, a guiding roller comprising at least one and preferably two projections or guiding means, such as a guiding wall on the side of the roller and the tape, can be used. Such guiding walls may define the roller limits of each roller. The tape may be guided between these guiding means. In this way, the tape can be held on the track. Preferably, since the tape has an essentially uniform structure, guiding can be facilitated.

In another preferred embodiment, the guiding means, such as a roller, may be made of or comprise a material which improves the thermal efficiency of the device. For example, in the case of rollers, thermal insulation may be used. For example, at least one or more guiding rollers may be made of ceramic instead of metal. Also, a plastic material may be used for the rollers.

In other embodiments, the roller for conveying the tape may not only have a circular cross-section, but may also have a cross-section other than a circular cross-section. For example, the cross-section may have a polygonal shape (eg, an octagonal shape). The corners of these polygons or, for example, octagons, may be edged or rounded.

In another preferred embodiment, an insulating material is provided to thermally insulate the heater with respect to other parts of the vaporizer, for example a mouthpiece. In this way, unwanted heating of the mouthpiece can be prevented.

In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizer comprises a control device for controlling the conveying of the tape. For example, a sensor device may be provided that detects whether a certain number of puffs have been made so that the tape is transported to another location. In addition, a detector arrangement may be provided for detecting whether the smoke no longer contains vaporized substances or only contains a content below a preset limit.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a paper roll and/or a guiding roll is provided for guiding the tape. However, a manual system may also be provided in which the consumer manually transports the tape.

In another preferred embodiment, the heater can heat the tape to different temperatures. This can be achieved by providing a variable current to the heater. For example, if a stronger puff is detected, a higher temperature may be used.

In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizer comprises a mouthpiece of the vaporizer and a detection device suitable for detecting contact between the user and the lips. A control device may be included to initiate heating of the tape in response to the detected contact between the user's lips and the mouthpiece. In this way, an easy change between an active state and a standby state of the device is possible.

It is also possible that a detection device for detecting contact between the user's hand and the vaporizer is provided. Also, here, when such contact is detected, the heater may be activated.

In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizer comprises a soaker device serving to immerse the tape in the vaporizable liquid. In such embodiments, the tape may be first dipped into or through the vaporizable material and then heated. In this embodiment, it is possible to guide the tape in a closed loop manner. Preferably, such submerger apparatus comprises a reservoir for vaporizable material. Preferably, such submerger devices are refillable. A transfer device may also be provided for transferring the vaporizable material from the submerger device to the tape.

In another preferred embodiment, the heater comprises a coating, in particular on the surface to be contacted by means of a tape. Such a coating may be, for example, a special coating to achieve low friction. In addition, better thermal efficiency of the vaporizer can be achieved in this way.

In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizer comprises a tensioner for improving the tension of the tape, in particular during transport. For example, to increase the tension of the tape to be conveyed, a spring-loaded roller may be provided.

In another embodiment, the vaporizer includes a perforating element for perforating the tape. Such perforations may serve to increase air flow through the tape. For example, a roller may be provided that includes a pin that punctures a tape that extends over such roller.

In another preferred embodiment, the heater may comprise an opening to allow the passage of gas. For example, the heater may have a grill design that allows the passage of air. The heater may also include openings that allow the passage of gas and/or air.

In another preferred embodiment, the heater is an induction heater. In this embodiment, an induction coil for heating the heating element may be provided. Preferably, the tape may be guided between the induction coil and the heating element.

In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizer comprises a controller for controlling the movement of the tape and/or material section.

Accordingly, the heater may have a heating element, which is suitable for heating a small section, the small section not only extending in the conveying direction of the tape, but also extending in a direction perpendicular to this conveying direction. In another preferred embodiment, said section is in flow connection with said mouthpiece.

In another preferred embodiment, the cartridge has a housing and/or frame against which the tape moves. The movement of the tape serves to prevent dry puffs.

In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizer comprises a temperature sensor. For example, a thermocouple or resistance sensor may be used. However, it is also possible for an infrared-based temperature sensor to be provided.

In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizer comprises thermal insulation between the heater and other parts of the apparatus.

In another preferred embodiment, the tape comprises an impregnated sheet. For example, it is possible for the sheet to be impregnated with substances such as glycerin, propylene glycol and/or flavoring agents.

In another preferred embodiment, the heater comprises at least one capacitor. In a preferred embodiment, the vaporizer comprises a filter, preferably arranged between the mouthpiece and the vaporizing section.

In another preferred embodiment, the cartridge described above is replaceable.

The invention also relates to a substance cartridge for a vaporizer and in particular for a vaporizer as described above. Such cartridge comprises at least one vaporizable material, the vaporizable material being provided as a material section on a tape, the material section being movably disposed in the material cartridge in a predefined transport direction, the vaporizing section comprising: at least two material sections differing from one another in characteristic characteristics.

The invention also relates to a vaporizer comprising a mouthpiece, wherein the mouthpiece is in fluid communication with a vaporizing section, the vaporizing section comprising a heater for heating the vaporizable material. According to the invention, the heater is suitable for heating the vaporizable section, wherein the vaporizable material is provided as a tape or as part of the material on the tape.

In a preferred embodiment, the vaporizer comprises a seat for the cartridge. Thus, preferably, it is possible that the cartridge can be inserted or removed manually into or from the vaporizer.

In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizer may comprise at least one and preferably two carriers for transporting a tape reel and/or a tape bobbin. Preferably, the vaporizer comprises a drive device capable of rotating said carrier.

In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizer comprises a motor and/or a drive device for moving the tape.

In another preferred embodiment, the heater has a first heating segment for heating the first section of the tape and a second heating segment for heating the second section of the tape, preferably the two heating segments or sections are They can be controlled independently of each other.

In another preferred embodiment, the heating segments are parallel to each other in the conveying direction of the tape. In another preferred embodiment, the material tape is inserted directly into the vaporizer.

In such embodiments, the vaporizer may include a pedestal and/or receiving area for the band of material.

In a preferred embodiment, the drive device is included in the carburetor, so that when the cartridge is replaced, the drive device element is not replaced.

In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizer comprises a tensioning device for the tape.

This tensioning device may be, for example, an element controlling the drive device to move the tape section. Also, a tensioning element including a spring or the like may be used. In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizer comprises guiding means for guiding the tape along the heater and in particular along the heating surface of the heater. It is also possible for the guiding means and/or the tensioning means to comprise at least one and preferably two or more rollers through which the tape is guided.

In another preferred embodiment, the vaporizer comprises a calculator for calculating or measuring the length of the tape. Also, such a calculator can measure how much tape has already been used. Thus, for example, the user may be notified that the tape must be replaced soon.

In another preferred embodiment, the drive device is suitable for moving the tape in a discontinuous manner.

Accordingly, in another preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to a bobbinized and/or rolled substrate, in particular a reconstituted sheet tobacco, preferably impregnated with a vaping agent, in particular in a cartridge ( Tobacco substrates such as RTB/RTS), cigar binders and the like are proposed.

The heater described above is preferably an electrically driven heater, but it is also possible for the heater to be a gas driven heater.

Thus, the present invention provides immediate ready-to-use, very little heating time, low thermal insulation requirements, and also a relatively low temperature of the device shell or housing.

In addition, the present invention provides a consistent vaping experience from puff to puff and also minimized puff-to-puff variability.

The device also allows for routine consumption of, for example, 100 puffs, and allows for spill-free cleaning or refilling procedures. Fast heating times are achieved, especially with the low mass of the material to be heated.

In a preferred embodiment, the transporter is suitable for transporting the tape and/or a certain amount of fresh material (eg the amount needed for one puff) into the heating zone on the next puff.

In another preferred embodiment, the diameter of the tape may range from 2 mm to 30 mm, preferably from 4 mm to 20 mm, and most preferably from 8 mm to 12 mm.

In another preferred embodiment, the device provides an evaporation area of the material, wherein the evaporation area of the material is greater than 20 mm ² , preferably greater than 30 mm ² , preferably greater than 40 mm ² , preferably greater than 50 mm ² , preferably greater than 60 mm ² , preferably greater than 70 mm ² .

In another preferred embodiment, the device provides an evaporation area of the material, wherein the evaporation area of the material is less than 500 mm ² , preferably less than 400 mm ² , preferably less than 200 mm ² , preferably less than 100 mm ² .

In another preferred embodiment, the evaporation area is selected such that a mass of from 5 to 100 mg, preferably from 15 to 40 mg, more preferably from 20 to 30 mg per puff is within the heating zone. According to the detailed study of the Applicant, it has been demonstrated that the above-mentioned amount is a good range for achieving sufficient material during puff made by the user on the one hand, and fast heating of the material achieved by the heating device on the other hand. .

In another preferred embodiment, the heater provides a temperature range from 100°C to 400°C, preferably from 150°C to 350°C, and very preferably from 180°C to 250°C. In another preferred embodiment, the heater enables a heating range of greater than 100°C/s, preferably greater than 200°C/s, and preferably greater than 300°C/s. Preferably, a control device is provided, which enables heating only when a puff is made.

In another preferred embodiment, the material to be heated and/or the tape is breathable. This serves in particular to enable air flow through the material from the mesh.

In a preferred embodiment, the tape is porous/porous, perforated or in particular pre-perforated. In a preferred embodiment, the porosity level (measured in Coresta Units) may be between 50 and 30,000 CU, preferably between 1000 and 10000, preferably between 2000 and 6000 CU.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, after or before each puff, spent material is conveyed away from the heating zone and fresh material is conveyed into the heating zone. Thus, for example, in this embodiment, a cartridge for rolled material may contain 2 g to 8 g suitable for about 100 puffs (as assumed for daily consumption by the user).

In another preferred embodiment, the tape is provided as a single layer tape or a double layer tape. In another preferred embodiment, the heater is fixedly arranged relative to the housing of the device. In this case, the substrate is moved through the fixed heating position. However, it is also conceivable for the heating position to be changed or moved relative to the fixed substrate.

In another preferred embodiment, static spot heating is achieved during puff. The control device controls the drive device to move the substrate between puffs.

Preferably, the substrate moves across the heating zone. In another preferred embodiment, it is also possible for other parts of the cartridge to be heated (eg a roller arrangement for heating and transport can be heated). In another preferred embodiment, the heating device is an induction heating device. In this case, a magnetic field is used to generate heating or to heat the heater.

An advantage of this embodiment is that it is very fast and also allows for rapid temperature control. In another preferred embodiment, the device can be operated at a temperature between -15°C and +40°C. In addition, in the case of a sudden temperature change, for example, when a user using the device moves from the inside to the outside of a heated room, manipulation must be possible. Also, as mentioned above, gas heating is possible. The heater may be, for example, an electric heater or a gas heater. Gas heaters may be preferred for cryogenic temperatures.

Although permanent heating is possible, non-permanent heating is preferred to save energy. In another preferred embodiment, both a battery or feed and/or a charging capacitor may be used to operate the heater.

In a preferred embodiment, a set of a plurality of capacitors is provided. It is possible to discharge all capacitors within the time between puffs (if this time is long enough to prevent overheating). If the time between puffs is short, it is also possible to discharge only a portion of such a capacitor. In this case, a flexible response to the required energy is provided.

In a preferred embodiment, the cartridge may have dimensions of about 40 mm to 80 mm in the longitudinal direction (such a base is needed for the heating zone between the two rolls and for the two bobbins of tape material).

As mentioned above, the present invention also proposes a two-track approach for enabling the user to switch between two different taste experiences within one cartridge.

Preferably, both the vaping agent and the flavoring agent are the same. Accordingly, liquid movement can be prevented.

However, these two tracks may be different. Thus, it is possible for the two tracks to contain different porosity or different levels of perforation for the same substrate.

It is also possible for the two tracks to include different base tobacco substrates (eg, paper sheet versus cast-sheet, or dark tobacco versus bright tobacco). Also, a combination of these methods can be devised.

In other embodiments, tobacco-free materials are possible. For example, a porous and/or perforated paper material having sufficient tensile strength may be used as the filter plug wrap (PW), eg impregnated with PG/G/flavor. In this case, the vapor generated does not contain any nicotine or flavor directly from the tobacco.

The object of the present invention is also achieved by a material cartridge for a vaporizer, the cartridge comprising at least one vaporizable material, the vaporizable material being provided as a material section on the tape or as a tape, the vaporizable material comprising: Arranged movably in a material cartridge in a predefined transport direction, the vaporizable material comprises at least two material sections differing from each other in at least one characteristic characteristic.

Further, an object of the present invention is achieved by a vaporizer, the vaporizer comprising a mouthpiece, the mouthpiece in fluid communication with the vaporizing section, the vaporizing section comprising: at least a first vaporizable material; and a method for heating the vaporizable material. Includes heater. The invention is characterized in that the heater is suitable for heating the vaporizable material, wherein the vaporizable material is provided as a tape or as part of the material on the tape.

10 shows another embodiment of a heater according to the invention.

1 shows a vaporizer 1 according to the invention. This carburetor 1 comprises, inter alia, a housing 30 in which elements of the carburetor, such as a control device 16 and a battery 14 , are arranged.

Reference numeral 2 designates the mouthpiece of the device. An optional filter 22 is disposed inside this mouthpiece 2 . The mouthpiece may also include a ventilation device 24 , which is preferably provided as an adjustable ventilation device. Preferably, such a venting device can be arranged in the filter area.

Reference sign (V) denotes a vaporization section in which vaporization of vaporizable material takes place. Reference numeral 8 denotes a heater serving to heat the vaporizable material. The vaporizable material is provided in a cartridge which can be inserted into the vaporizer 1 . Thus, the vaporizer 1 , and in particular the housing 30 of the vaporizer 1 , may comprise a recess into which the cartridge is to be inserted.

Cartridge 10 includes two bobbins 32 , 34 which serve to transport vaporizable material 12 provided as a tape. The vaporizable material may be unwound from the bobbin 32 and wound onto the bobbin 34 (after use). Reference numerals 36 and 38 designate guide rollers which serve to guide the tape 12 in the region of the heater 8 . Also, such a guide roller is preferably arranged inside the cartridge.

Reference numerals 42 and 44 designate switches, which allow the user to select which section of the tape should be heated, thereby allowing the user to select the type of vapor the vaporizer will produce. Reference numeral 15 denotes a port of the vaporizer, in particular a charging port for charging the device and/or the battery. These ports are specifically micro USB ports.

2 shows a vaporizable material 12 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. These vaporizable substances are transported in the transport direction T. The vaporizable material 12 is provided as a tape having a first material section 12a and a second material section 12b. These two sections are provided parallel to each other and both extend in the transport direction. 2 is a plan view of the tape, so that the first and second material sections 12a, 12b are arranged in the width direction of the tape. However, these two sections may be arranged in the thickness direction of the tape to form a hierarchical structure such that one of the layers is in contact with the heater and the other is not.

Reference numeral 12c denotes a separation section that separates the two material sections 12a and 12b from each other. Also, this separation section 12c serves to prevent the two material sections 12a, 12b from interfering with each other.

In addition, the heater 8 may comprise two heating sections (not shown), which may be controlled separately and serve to heat either one of the two material sections.

3 shows an embodiment of a guide roller 50 according to the present invention. As can be seen, this guide roller comprises a body 52 and two (disk-shaped) edges 52a and 52b through which a tape (not shown) can be guided. Thus, the material will remain on the track. Preferably, the tobacco strip or tape is uniform in structure to ensure that the path is maintained correctly. In order for the rollers to achieve better thermal efficiency, it is also possible to use different materials. Accordingly, heat loss can be limited.

It is also conceivable for the roller to have a shape that deviates from a circular shape, for example a polygonal shape. This is relatively easy to implement.

4 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the tape 13 is immersed through the submerger device 60 . Here, it is possible that the tape is guided through such an immersion machine so as to be immersed in the material to be vaporized. The heater 8 heats the tape with the material, and a puff P of steam can be made.

In this case, liquid application can be made through the central pipe of the roller. Thus, for example, the same technique as in the case of a ballpoint pen applying by pressing the medium to be vaporized can be used.

5 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this case, a carrier 54 with a through opening can be provided which allows for a better application of the vapor. For better orientation, the number 8 also refers to the heater here. In principle, the heating element may be a solid plate, for example a solid metal plate. However, in this case, air flow is prevented. Thus, in one embodiment, a “perforated” heating element, for example a mesh, is proposed. With this perforated heating element, the airflow is improved, and the vaping can be picked up more efficiently with the desired airflow.

6 shows another embodiment of the present invention. Here, the tape is guided in a closed loop. Application of the material may be via an applicator 62 pressing the tape between rollers 55 . The roller 50 also includes a spring element 51 which improves the tension of the tape when it is guided along the heater 8 .

However, it is noted that the spring guide 50 may be used in other embodiments of the present invention. Thus, this spring tension can also be used for one-time use with pre-impregnation.

7 shows another embodiment of the present invention. Here, a perforation roller 84 is provided which can be used to form perforations in the tape 12 . The roller may comprise a small, for example, needle-like projection. In another embodiment, a heater may be provided having an opening 82 through which the evaporated material may pass. That is, the heater 8 here has a grill design to ensure an accurate heating step while at the same time ensuring proper airflow.

In a particular embodiment, a double grill may be provided for increased heating from bottom to top. That is, the heater here includes a plurality of fingers through which the gas medium can pass. It is also possible to guide the tape around the perimeter of such a heater device, creating a kind of back wall through the guide, so that the material increases the heat of the flavoring agent in the heating zone.

In a preferred embodiment, the heating device can be pressed into contact with the tobacco material also to improve heating efficiency. For different rollers, for example, simple plastic pins can be used. However, it is also possible for pins to be used together with ball bearings or cylinder bearings. In this way, friction can be reduced.

8 shows another embodiment of a heating device. In this case, induction heating devices are used. The heater includes an induction coil 94 that serves to heat the metal 92 . The tape 12 is guided between the material to be heated 92 and the guide device 94 .

9 shows an embodiment in which the tape 12 is guided along the heater 8 . A pressure device may be used to press the tape 12 into contact with the heater 8 .

Here, the heater may be formed as a “mesh” heater. Upon contact, air flows through the “mesh” heater 8 , acquiring vaping material from the tape 12 , resulting in an inhalable vaping.

10 shows another embodiment of a heater. In this embodiment, a plurality of flow openings are provided in the heater block to ensure airflow. In a preferred embodiment, the opening has a circular shape. Preferably, the diameter of the opening is 0.1 mm to 5.0 mm, preferably 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm, and more preferably 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm. In the case of density, the area ratio of the opening range, irrespective of the pattern, is between 5% and 90%, preferably between 20% and 70%, and more preferably between 30% and 50%. For square or rectangular mesh heaters, the same proportions are applied to cover the same area per opening range. In particular, for a square mesh, an aperture diameter in the range of 0.1 mm to 5.0 mm corresponds to an area per aperture in the range of 0.1 mm ² to 20 mm ² and thus the length of one side in the range of 0.1 mm to 4.4 mm.

In a preferred embodiment, the pressure drop of the heater is greater than 20 mmWC (mm water column), preferably greater than 50 mmWC, preferably greater than 75 mmWC. In another preferred embodiment, the pressure drop of the heater is less than 200 mmWC, preferably less than 125 mmWC, preferably less than 100 mmWC.
