Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings described below, the same or equivalent components are given the same reference numerals, and repeated descriptions are omitted.

Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the flavor inhaler of this embodiment. The flavor inhaler 10 of this embodiment is configured to be housed in a pod 20 (pod, equivalent to a container) by heating For example, the mist source and fragrance source of the industry's idiom are called "smoke bomb") to generate the mist containing fragrance. Specifically, the cartridge 20 contains a liquid mist source and a solid flavor source in a predetermined weight ratio. The weight ratio of the mist source to the fragrance source is, for example, 3:1 to 20:1. In this embodiment, the fluid containing liquid and solid is called slurry. The slurry preferably contains liquid and solid flavor sources. As for the liquid constituting the slurry, for example, water can be used. The liquid is preferably a mist source such as glycerin or propylene glycol. The weight ratio of the liquid to the solid constituting the slurry is, for example, the aforementioned 3:1 to 20:1, preferably 5:1 to 15:1. In addition, the weight of the slurry contained in the cartridge 20 is, for example, 0.05 g to 0.5 g, preferably 0.1 g to 0.3 g.

After the cartridge 20 is used, it can be taken out of the flavor inhaler 10 and discarded. Then, a new cartridge 20 can be used in the flavor inhaler 10. That is, the cartridge 20 is a cartridge used in the flavor inhaler 10.

As shown in FIG. 1, the flavor inhaler 10 of this embodiment has a housing 11, a battery 12, a control unit 13, an electromagnetic shield 14, an induction coil 15, a mouthpiece 16 and a heat insulating material 30. The casing 11 houses the battery 12, the control unit 13, the electromagnetic shield 14, the induction coil 15, and the heat insulating material 30 inside. As shown in the figure, the mouthpiece 16, the cartridge 20, the induction coil 15, the electromagnetic shield 14, the control unit 13, and the battery 12 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the flavor inhaler 10. Furthermore, the housing 11 can also be divided into two or more parts.

The battery 12 may be, for example, a rechargeable battery or a non-rechargeable battery. The battery 12 is electrically connected to the induction coil 15 via the control unit 13. In this way, the battery 12 can supply power to the induction coil 15 to appropriately heat the slurry contained in the cartridge 20.

The control unit 13 includes, for example, a microprocessor, etc., and can control the supply of power from the battery 12 to the induction coil 15. Thereby, the control unit 13 can control the pulping by the induction coil 15 Liquid heating. In this embodiment, the electromagnetic shield 14 is arranged between the induction coil 15 in the longitudinal direction of the housing 11 and the control unit 13. Thereby, the electromagnetic shield 14 can suppress the electromagnetic waves generated by the induction coil 15 from reaching the control unit 13. In this embodiment, the electromagnetic shield 14 may be made of, for example, a ferrite-based metal material. In addition, the shape of the electromagnetic shield 14 is not particularly limited, but it is preferably a disk shape corresponding to the shape of the induction coil 15. As shown in FIG. 1, in the short-side direction orthogonal to the long-side direction, the width or diameter of the electromagnetic shield 14 is preferably larger than the maximum width of the induction coil 15. Thereby, it is possible to more reliably suppress the electromagnetic waves from the induction coil 15 from reaching the control unit 13.

The casing 11 has a cavity 11a for accommodating the cartridge 20 at the end of the mouthpiece side (the mouthpiece 16 side). The cartridge 20 has a substantially cylindrical side wall 22 and a bottom wall 24 closing the end of the side wall 22. The induction coil 15 is arranged closer to the battery 12 than the bottom wall 24 of the cartridge 20 accommodated in the cavity 11 a of the casing 11 and opposite to the bottom wall 24 of the cartridge 20. In this embodiment, at least the bottom wall 24 of the cartridge 20 is formed of a conductor. Specifically, the side wall 22 and the bottom wall 24 of the cartridge 20 are preferably formed of SUS (stainless steel). Since the thermal conductivity of SUS is lower than that of aluminum, when the bottom wall 24 is heated, the heat of the bottom wall 24 is not easily transferred to the side wall 22, and the heat can be efficiently transferred to the slurry in the cartridge 20. Thereby, the bottom wall 24 can function as a sensor that is heated by the induction coil 15. Therefore, the surface (outer surface) of the bottom wall 24 facing the induction coil 15 is preferably flat.

The induction coil 15 is configured as the bottom wall 24 of the induction heating cartridge 20. As shown in the figure, the induction coil 15 is preferably formed in a substantially plate shape as a whole. In addition, in this embodiment, the entire induction coil 15 is arranged in an area smaller than the area of the bottom wall 24 of the cartridge 20. That is, when viewed from the longitudinal direction, the induction coil 15 is arranged at a position overlapping the bottom wall 24 and located inside the edge of the partition bottom wall 24. The induction coil 15 is arranged substantially parallel to the bottom wall 24.

As shown in this embodiment, when the induction coil 15 is arranged opposite to the bottom wall 24 of the cartridge 20, it is difficult to generate outside the flavor inhaler 10 compared to the case where the induction coil 15 is arranged around the side wall 22 of the cartridge 20 Induced current. Therefore, even if there are other electronic devices around the fragrance inhaler 10, the electronic devices are still not easily affected by the induced current caused by the induction coil 15. Furthermore, according to this embodiment, since the bottom wall 24 of the cartridge 20 is heated, the temperature of the upper part of the cartridge 20 is not easy to rise. Therefore, as described later, when the sealing member 28 is provided in the opening of the cartridge 20, it is possible to suppress the melting of the adhesive used to bond the cartridge 20 and the sealing member 28.

In addition, when a planar heating element (thin film heater) using stainless steel as a heating resistor is used to heat the slurry contained in the cartridge 20, the heat generated by the planar heating element is transmitted to the slurry through the cartridge 20 containing the slurry. . That is, the heat generated by the planar heating element is conducted to the cartridge 20 and the slurry, so the heat transfer loss is relatively large. In contrast, in the present embodiment, as described above, an induction heating (IH) method is adopted as a method of heating the slurry. By the IH method, the bottom wall 24 of the cartridge 20 generates heat, and the heat of the bottom wall 24 is conducted to the slurry. Accordingly, since the heat generated by the bottom wall 24 is directly transferred to the slurry, compared to the case where the slurry is heated by a planar heating element, the loss during heat transfer can be reduced.

When the bottom wall 24 is inductively heated by the induction coil 15 to atomize the slurry in the cartridge 20, the solids (flavor source) contained in the slurry may reach the mouthpiece 16 from the cartridge 20. In contrast, in this embodiment, a porous structure 26 is provided in the cartridge 20 to cover at least a part of the opening of the side wall 22. For the porous structure 26, for example, a filter, a metal mesh, or any other porous structure that allows gas and mist to pass through can be used. The porous structure 26 is preferably a filter. For the porous structure 26, for example, a cellulose acetate filter can be used. The filter can make gas and mist Air passes and inhibits the passage of liquids. Therefore, as described later, after the sealing member 28 of the cartridge 20 is broken, the slurry can be prevented from leaking to the outside of the cartridge 20. That is, in this embodiment, the porous structure 26 is configured to allow the mist generated inside the cartridge 20 to flow out of the cartridge 20 when the slurry in the cartridge 20 is atomized, without causing the cartridge 20 to flow out. The internal slurry flows out.

When the side wall 22 of the cartridge 20 is heated, or when a planar heating element, a coil heater, or the like is used, heat is easily transmitted to the entire slurry. As a result, heat may be transferred to the porous structure 26 to cause a decrease in atomization efficiency or the porous structure 26 may melt. On the other hand, in this embodiment, since the induction coil 15 is arranged to face the bottom wall 24 and the bottom wall 24 is inductively heated, the heat of the bottom wall 24 is difficult to transfer to the porous structure 26, and the reduction in atomization efficiency can be suppressed. Or the melting of the porous structure 26 occurs.

As shown in the figure, at least a part of the surface of the porous structure 26 facing the bottom wall of the cartridge 20 preferably has a convex surface 26 a that is convex toward the bottom wall 24 of the cartridge 20. When the bottom wall 24 is heated by induction, there will be a temperature difference between the slurry near the bottom wall 24 in the cartridge 20 and the slurry near the porous structure 26 in the cartridge 20, resulting in slurry convection. Since the porous structure 26 has the convex surface 26a, the convective slurry from below the cartridge 20 can contact the convex surface 26a and be guided in the left-right direction. As a result, the convection of the slurry can be promoted. Therefore, according to this embodiment, even if the amount of slurry decreases as the atomization of the slurry progresses, the temperature of the entire slurry can be made uniform by the convection of the slurry. Thereby, the ratio of the amount of mist generated from the mist source to the amount of mist generated from the fragrance source can be maintained, and as a result, the smoking flavor can be maintained constant.

As shown in the figure, the gripper 16 is connected to one end of the housing 11 in a manner of closing the cavity 11a of the housing 11. The gripper 16 has: an air inlet flow path 16a for communicating the exterior of the gripper 16 with the cavity 11a of the housing 11; and an air outlet flow path 16b for connecting Through the cavity 11a and the user's oral cavity. When the user sucks air from the air outlet flow path 16b, the air entering the cavity 11a from the air inlet flow path 16a passes through the porous structure 26 and is mixed with mist generated from the cartridge 20 to reach the user's oral cavity.

Furthermore, the gripper 16 may also be provided with an air flow path 16c instead of the air inlet flow path 16a and the air outlet flow path 16b. The air flow path 16c communicates with an internal space not shown in the mouthpiece 16. In this case, the mist generated from the cartridge 20 moves to the inner space of the mouthpiece 16, and the outside air can be mixed into the mist through the air flow path 16c to reach the mouth of the user. In addition, the air flow path 16c may also be a three-pronged flow path extending from the end of the mouthpiece of the mouthpiece 16 to the cavity 11a of the housing 11 and extending to the side of the mouthpiece 16. In addition, the air inlet portion of the air flow path 16c can also be provided in the connection area between the gripper 16 and the housing 11. Specifically, for example, a groove may be provided in the gripper 16 and connect the housing 11 and the gripper 16, thereby forming an air inlet portion of the air flow path 16c. Thereby, the air flowing in from the air inlet portion of the air flow path 16c can pass through the surface of the cartridge 20 to mix into the mist generated from the cartridge 20 and flow out from the mouthpiece 16.

The heat insulating material 30 is arranged in the housing 11 in a manner to surround at least a part of the side wall 22 of the cartridge 20 accommodated in the cavity 11 a of the housing 11. The heat insulating material 30 of this embodiment has a first tube 30a, a second tube 30b, an upper end 30c, and a lower end 30d. The second pipe 30b is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the first pipe 30a. The upper end 30c connects the upper end of the first pipe 30a and the upper end of the second pipe 30b. The lower end 30d connects the lower end of the first tube 30a and the lower end of the second tube 30b. The inner space 31 enclosed in the heat insulating material 30 is partitioned by the first tube 30a, the second tube 30b, the upper end 30c, and the lower end 30d. The internal space 31 may be in a vacuum state, for example, whereby the heat insulating material 30 functions as a vacuum heat insulating material. In addition, for example, the internal space 31 may be filled with a heat insulating material such as aerogel.

Preferably, at least the first tube 30a and the second tube 30b of the heat insulating material 30 are formed of SUS. Thereby, the first tube 30a or the second tube 30b can absorb electromagnetic waves generated from the induction coil 15. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the entire heat insulating material 30 may be made of SUS. In addition, the first tube 30a and the second tube 30b of the heat insulating material 30 are preferably arranged to surround at least a part of the periphery of the induction coil 15. In this way, the first tube 30a or the second tube 30b can further absorb electromagnetic waves from the induction coil 15 toward the outside of the housing. Therefore, the length of the side of the heat-insulating material 30 that surrounds all the cartridge 20 and the induction coil 15, in other words, the length of the device in the longitudinal direction of the heat-insulating material 30 is preferably longer than the area where the cartridge 20 and the induction coil 15 are arranged The length in the longitudinal direction from the upper end to the lower end is longer.

Furthermore, the flavor inhaler 10 may have a heat dissipation member 34 contacting the side wall 22 of the cartridge 20 contained in the cavity 11 a of the housing 11. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the heat dissipating member 34 is a fin extending along the longitudinal direction of the inner wall of the housing 11 that partitions the cavity 11a. The heat dissipation member 34 is preferably in contact with the vicinity of the upper end of the side wall 22 of the cartridge 20 (the vicinity of the porous structure 26). Thereby, the temperature rise near the upper end of the cartridge 20 can be suppressed, and the occurrence of melting of the porous structure 26 can be suppressed. As will be described later, when the sealing member 28 is provided in the opening of the cartridge 20, the use of To melt the adhesive of the cartridge 20 and the sealing member 28. Furthermore, the shape of the heat dissipating member 34 can be any shape if it is in contact with the side wall 22 of the cartridge 20. For example, it can also be an annular shape extending along the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the housing 11 that partitions the cavity 11a. Fins. The heat dissipation member 34 is preferably made of metal.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the heat dissipation member 34 is provided in the housing 11, but instead, the heat dissipation member may be provided in the cartridge 20. FIG. 2 is a top view showing an example of the cartridge 20 having a heat dissipation member on the side wall 22. Figure 3 shows a cartridge with a heat dissipation member on the side wall 22 Side view of another example of 20. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the cartridge 20 has four fin-shaped heat dissipation members 27 extending in the axial direction of the side wall 22 (the vertical direction in FIG. 1). In the example shown in FIG. 3, the cartridge 20 has a fin-shaped heat dissipation member 27 extending along the circumferential direction of the side wall 22. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, when a heat dissipation member 27 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 22, the cartridge 20 is designed to dissipate heat from the side wall 22 of the cartridge 20 when the cartridge 20 is accommodated in the cavity 11a. The member 27 is in contact with the inner wall of the housing 11 partitioning the cavity 11a. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2, in the case where the cartridge 20 has a fin-shaped heat dissipation member 27 extending in the axial direction of the side wall 22, a corresponding groove may be provided in the housing 11 to guide the heat dissipation member 27. As a result, the positioning of the cartridge 20 and the housing 11 can be accurately performed, and the stability of the atomization action can be improved. Furthermore, the heat dissipation member 27 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is preferably made of metal.

Since the cartridge 20 of the present embodiment contains fluid slurry, in order to prevent the slurry from leaking out during storage of the cartridge 20, as shown in Figure 2, the cartridge 20 preferably has a method for closing the side wall 22 Open sealing member 28. Specifically, the sealing member 28 is adhered to the end of the side wall 22 provided with the porous structure 26 by, for example, a resin-made adhesive, thereby closing the opening of the cartridge 20. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the entire sealing member 28 is formed of metal foil 28a such as aluminum foil.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the state after the sealing member 28 of the cartridge 20 shown in Fig. 2 is broken. As shown in FIG. 2, in the case where the sealing member 28 of the metal foil 28a is provided on the upper surface of the cartridge 20, the sealing member 28 must be broken when the cartridge 20 is used. Therefore, when the flavour inhaler 10 shown in Fig. 1 uses the cartridge 20 shown in Fig. 2, a not-shown protrusion is provided on the gripper 16 and the gripper 16 is engaged with the housing 11 , Thereby destroying a part of the sealing member 28 with the protrusion.

Figure 5 is a plan view showing another example of the cartridge 20. Fig. 6 is a plan view showing another example of the cigarette cartridge 20. The sealing member 28 of the cartridge 20 shown in FIG. 5 is formed of a film 28b at a portion near the center, and the other part is formed of a metal foil 28a such as aluminum foil. The sealing member 28 of the cartridge 20 shown in FIG. 6 is entirely composed of a film 28b. The film 28b shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is heated by the heat transmitted to the side wall 22 by the induction coil 15 inductively heating the bottom wall 24 of the cartridge 20, thereby destroying at least a part of the film 28b. Here, when the film 28b shown in Figs. 5 and 6 is a material that melts and forms droplets due to heating, there is a risk that the melted film may fall into the slurry and adversely affect the flavor of smoking. good. Therefore, the film 28b shown in Figures 5 and 6 is a heat-shrinkable film that can be made of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), gelatin, or polysaccharides, etc. The material is formed. In addition, it is preferable that the film 28b shrinks from the center part of the sealing member 28 toward the outer peripheral part. Therefore, for example, the film thickness of the center portion of the thin film 28b is preferably thinner than the film thickness of the outer peripheral portion. Furthermore, the cartridge 20 shown in Fig. 1 may be provided with the sealing member 28 shown in Figs. 2 and 4 to 6.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, it has been explained that the cartridge 20 and the mouthpiece 16 are different members. However, as described above, when the film 28b is used as the sealing member 28, the film 28b can be destroyed by the heat of the cartridge 20. Therefore, in this case, since it is not necessary to use the gripper 16 to destroy the sealing member 28, the cartridge 20 and the gripper 16 may also be an integral member. In addition, the sealing member 28 may be extended to the side surface of the porous structure 26 and attached to the side surface of the porous structure 26. In this case, the next part will be melted by the heat from the bottom wall 24 induced by the induction coil 15 so that the side surface of the porous structure 26 can become a flow path for the air from the outside of the flavor inhaler 10 to pass.
