The present invention relates to a tobacco manufacturing method, and in particular, bamboo salt is filled in the filter space between the cigarette filter to make the taste of tobacco, as well as to improve the quality of tobacco smoke produced bamboo salt tobacco manufacturing method and by the manufacturing method It is about old bamboo tobacco.

Cigarette smoke, which is inhaled into a person's mouth when smoking, contains a lot of harmful elements such as nicotine in the cigarette. Therefore, in order to improve the quality of the tobacco smoke, the so-called separate perimeter ventilation system configured to introduce air into the passage extending from the periphery of the filter to the inner end and suck the air into the mouth together with the tobacco smoke sucked through the filter. Many of these have been proposed.

In addition, a method of removing nicotine from tobacco smoke by treating a filter material with a + 2-valent metal compound as proposed in the method of removing nicotine from tobacco smoke of the invention described in U.S. Patent Application No. 731965. This has been proposed.

As another method, as proposed in the cigarette filter using the ginseng foil of the invention described in Korean Patent Publication No. 93-005564 and a method for manufacturing the same, a method of using ginseng processing waste ginseng as a filter medium for harmful substances in tobacco smoke This has been proposed.

However, even in the case of using the tobacco filter manufactured according to the above method, there were many disadvantages in improving the quality of tobacco smoke. In addition, filling the tobacco filter with a different substance with a fragrance also eliminates the unique taste and aroma of the cigarette, the situation is not receiving favorable reviews from smokers.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a bamboo salt tobacco that can improve the quality of tobacco smoke by filling the bamboo salt particles with a very free flow as a filter material in the space formed between the filter and the filter of the cigarette to fundamentally overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages. Another object of the present invention is to provide a bamboo salt tobacco having a filter formed between the filter and the filter and having a partition installed in the filter space filled with bamboo salt particles at the bottom thereof. It is another object of the present invention to provide tobacco leaves and / or cigarettes as a cigarette material, and cigarette paper surrounding the filter space and the filter to be sufficiently immersed in bamboo salt, or to provide bamboo salt tobacco in which bamboo salt is infused into the filter.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a device for manufacturing a general cigarette filter, in which the filter element 1 made of cellulose or acetate is aligned at regular intervals in the axial direction and moved in the A direction as shown in FIG. Let's do it. The filter elements 1 which are fed at a constant interval in this axial direction are placed on the wrapping paper 4 which is continuously fed at the same time, guided by the guide member, and arranged to circulate simultaneously with the wrapping paper over the wrapping paper 4. The pressure belt 5 is moved forward with its pavement 4 with its relative position fixed. The filter element side surface of the wrapping paper 4 is coated with a heat soluble adhesive, such as a thermoplastic or hot melt material, so that the wrapping paper 4 and the filter element 1 are transferred to the heating device 6 as soon as they are transferred to the heating device 6. ) Are fixed on the wrapping paper 4 so that the relative spacing between them does not change. In order to do this, the heating device 6 is pressed from the bottom of the wrapping paper 4. When the wrapping paper 4 is stopped, it arrange | positions so that the heating apparatus 6 may be removed so that it may not burn. The wrapping paper 4 which has passed through the heating device 6 is led to the cooling device 7 to solidify the melted adhesive on the wrapping paper 4 so that the filter element 1 is fixed on the wrapping paper.

The wrapping paper 4 having a width of about 21 to 22 mm to which the filter element 1 is fixed is conveyed to an endless conveyoy belt. 8 and is thus passed through a two-part forming apparatus 9. While being wound around the filter element 1 having a circumference of about 25 mm, leaving a filling port of about 3 to 4 mm. The filter element 1 enclosed in the wrapping paper 4 is thus passed by the conveyor belt 8 through the second heating device 10 and the second cooling device 11 surrounding the upper half of the filter element 1. It is fixed to the wrapping paper 4 accurately and securely.

In this way, a filter strand composed of the filter element, the filter element, and the wrapping paper is conveyed to the filling device 12 by the conveyor belt 8 so that the filter space 13 formed between the filter 31 and the filter 32. ) Is filled with particulate filtration material such as activated carbon (a). In order to increase the filling amount of particulate filtration material in the filter space 23, the downward outlet of the container 14 coupled to the filling device 12 is provided at both edges of the wrapping paper 4 and the filter element 1 provided therebetween. It is connected to the suction device 15 located upstream of the filling hole of the filling device through the sliding member held close to the periphery of the wrapping paper 4 in the movement direction.

As the filter space 13 emptied in this way passes near the exhaust groove forming the filler of the container 14, the filter material therein abruptly enters the filter space 13 near the sliding surface. As shown in FIG. 1, the vessel 14 is connected to the reservoir 18 by a conduit 16 and a meter 17 to receive particulate filtration material.

After filling the filter space 13 with particulate filtration material, the particulate filtration material remaining on both edges of the wrapping paper and around the filter element exposed between them is removed by the suction device 20 so that the surface portion thereof becomes dirty. Do not

Downstream of the suction device 20, a sealing band 21 which is slightly wider than the filling opening of the filter space 13 is supplied over the filling opening so that the adhesive applied on the sealing opening 21 is heated. Melted by means of adhesion to both edges of the wrapping paper 4 and the filter element 1 exposed between them. When the sealing strip 21 is stopped by a power failure or the like, the heating device 22 is pivoted upward so that the heating device 22 can be separated from the sealing strip 21.

The filter strip heated by covering the sealing band 21 is sent to the cooling device 23 so that the melted adhesive on the sealing band 21 is solidified.

After passing through the cooling device, the filter strands are sent to the cutter 24 and cut into four or six times the length of a cigarette. It is later cut into a single filter 48 and sold commercially.

2 shows a cross-sectional view of a tobacco filter made according to a conventional method. Here, the filter element 1 consists of a first filter 31, a second filter 32, and a filter space 13 formed therebetween, and generally the filter space 13 is a particulate filtration material. The particles of carbon (a) are charged to improve the quality of tobacco smoke. However, the cigarette filter using the carbon particles (a) in the filter space 13 does not sufficiently improve the will of cigarette smoke, and if the filter in contact with the mouth of the person is damaged, the carbon particles (a) are human. May enter the mouth of the body, may cause fatal damage to the body.

FIG. 3a is a cross sectional view of a bamboo salt tobacco filter manufactured according to the method of the present invention, which is 1/5 of the top of the filter space 13 between the first filter 31 and the second filter 32 as shown. The partition 33 is provided in the transverse direction at 2 to the point. In the lower space (33b) of the partition 33 is filled with a large amount of bamboo salt (B) so as to have fluidity, to improve the quality of cigarette smoke. At this time, the tobacco smoke and the air sucked through the first filter 31 are separated into the upper space 33a and the lower space 33b and sucked into the filter space 13, and the suction amount is suctioned in proportion to the cross-sectional area. The suction amount is sucked a lot into the lower space 33b. In addition, the porous perforations 34 are formed in the membrane 33 as shown in FIG. 3B so that the cigarette smoke and the air sucked into the upper space 33a are also sucked into the lower space 33b. Therefore, almost all tobacco smoke and air passes through the lower space (33b), and the granular bamboo salt (b) granules as a filter is always placed in the lower part of the space, so that almost all the intake air and tobacco smoke is a bamboo salt (b) ), It will be filtered. At this time, the bamboo salt in the form of powder instead of bamboo salt (b) can be used as a matter of course. In addition, in order to further enhance the effect of the present invention, tobacco leaves and / or cigarette paper 35, which surrounds the cigarette and the filter element 1 and the filter space 13, which are not shown cigarette materials, are also immersed in bamboo saline. It may be used after drying for 3 hours to 24 hours. Of course, the time to soak tobacco leaves or citrus paper 35 in bamboo salt can be variously changed. At this time, the ratio of bamboo salt to be used is prepared in the ratio of 3 to 8% by weight of water to 1% by weight of bamboo salt.

Hereinafter, the method for producing the bamboo salt tobacco of the present invention will be described step by step with reference to the apparatus of FIG. 1. First, the filter elements 1 are aligned at regular intervals in the axial direction and advanced in the A direction, and the filter The filter element 1 is placed on a wrapper 4 which is continuously fed simultaneously with the element 1 and then moved forwards simultaneously with the wrapper 4. Thereafter, the filter element 1 is heated by applying an adhesive to a surface so that the filter element 1 is fixed on the wrapping paper 4, and then the filter strand composed of the filter element 1 and the wrapping paper 4 is conveyed. The belt 8 is transferred to the filling device 12.

After the above process, the bamboo salt (b) is filled in the filter space 13 formed between the first filter element 31 and the second filter 32, wherein the amount of bamboo salt (b) is filled, The cigarette smoke and the air in the filter space 13 is filled in such a way that it can be distributed. At this time, the cigarette smoke and air passing through the first filter 31 is filtered by the bamboo salt (b) when passing through the filter space 13, the quality of the tobacco smoke is improved.

At this time, after filling the filter space 13, the lower shelf bamboo salt (b) may be installed in the membrane 33 at a point 1/5 to 1/2 from the top of the space. Gas flowing into the filter space 13 through the first filter 31 is separated into upper and lower portions in proportion to the cross-sectional area of the filter space 13. Some of the gas introduced into the upper space 33a passes through the second filter 32, and most of the remaining gas forms a vortex on the wall surface 32 'of the second filter 32, and is formed in the partition 33. The porous space 34 of FIG. 3b is introduced into the lower space 33b.

Therefore, most of the gas (cigarette smoke and air) that is introduced is passed through the lower space (33b), thereby passing through the bamboo salt (b), thereby improving the quality of tobacco smoke. Subsequent processes proceed in the same manner as a general tobacco filter manufacturing process. That is, the sealing band 21 is supplied to the filter space 13 to cover it, the adhesive is heated, cooled, and the filter strands are cut.

Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the bamboo salt tobacco filter shown in Figure 3a, as shown, the bamboo salt (b) is always placed in the lower space (33b), at a point 1/5 to 1/2 from the top The partition 33 is provided laterally. At this time, when the cigarette paper 35 surrounding the space is used by dipping in bamboo salt, the effect of bamboo salt tobacco is increased. In this case, bamboo salt is prepared by mixing 3g to 10g of water in 1g of bamboo salt, and preferably 5g to 8g of water in 1g of bamboo salt.

Figure 5 shows a perspective view of the bamboo salt tobacco according to the present invention, injecting the bamboo salt brine described above to a syringe, using the syringe, the 100 filter to the first filter 31, the second filter 32 or the cigarette 36 It is possible to further increase the effect of the present invention by injecting to 100 kPa, suitably 30 kPa to 50 kPa, or injecting the first and second filters 31 and 32 and the cigarette 36, respectively.

As described above, the bamboo salt tobacco of the present invention filled with bamboo salt granules in the filter space formed between the filter, cigarette smoke passes through the bamboo salt particles, has an excellent filtering effect, can improve the quality of tobacco smoke In addition, the cigarette filter is badly damaged, and even if bamboo salt particles flow from the filter space 13 into the mouth of the person who smokes, it is almost harmless to the human body and has the effect of preserving the unique taste and aroma of the cigarette.

The scope of the present invention is not limited to the bamboo salt tobacco filled with bamboo salt grains in the filter space as claimed in the following claims, but also to fill a plurality of bamboo salt grains in the filter itself, cigarette paper or tobacco leaves, etc. It is applicable to all cigarettes, including cigarettes without filter space, using bamboo salt in tobacco, such as satisfactory use of bamboo salt, which can be sufficiently understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. It is a well known fact.
