Description
本發明關於組裝模擬香菸的方法。
申請人已提出一種模擬香菸,具有殼體,該殼體包含可吸入合成物之儲存器,該儲存器具有出口,該出口係藉由以呼吸操作的出口閥門來選擇性地關閉。當使用者在出口端上吸吮以自儲存器發給(dispense)合成物時,這出口就開啟。
這類型的模擬香菸係揭露於WO2011/107737中。此文件需要一吸油繩,為了當出口閥門打開時確保將適當的合成物提供至儲存器出口(不論方向),該吸油繩填充儲存器的實質部分。
然而,吸油繩較不理想,因為吸油繩呈現給合成物的高表面區域對於吸油繩材料增加了瀝濾(leach)進合成物的趨勢。
DE4030257揭露一管子,該管子自儲存器之出口端延伸一短距離。該管子是有彈性的且在其入口端處具有重
量,使得該管子朝儲存器之底面重壓(無論其方向)。該文件沒有包含實際上如何組裝該模擬香菸的揭示。
為了成為成功的商業產品,重要的是,能夠以適於大量生產的方式來簡單地組裝模擬香菸。
本發明係針對組裝香菸的方法,該方法解決了習知技藝的問題且適於大量生產。
依據本發明,提供了組裝管狀模擬香菸的方法,該方法包括以下步驟:a)提供一細長中空殼體,該細長中空殼體具有一吸入端及一再填充端;b)自該再填充端安插一出口閥門管,該出口閥門管在近位端處是開啟的且在一遠位端處具有一出口孔口,以便該出口孔口相鄰於該吸入端;c)自該再填充端安插一浸漬管,以便該浸漬管的遠位端係同該出口閥門管的該近位端流體連通;d)自該再填充端安插一支持部以在該殼體中支持該浸漬管之該近位端;e)將一再填充閥門安插進該再填充端且將該再填充閥門固定到位,使得在該模擬香菸之此區域中之該殼體形成一合成物儲存器,其中該浸漬管將該儲存器放置為當該出口閥門管開啟時,同該出口孔口流體連通,該再填充閥門允許了同該儲存器的選擇性連通;f)將一閥門構件安插進該殼體之該側中之一凹部,以
便該閥門構件係經安置以選擇性地關閉該出口閥門管;g)將一以呼吸操作的閥門致動機構側向地安插進該凹部;以及h)將一封蓋施加至該凹部。
本發明將許多元件安插進香菸的再填充端以及將許多其他元件安插過殼體之側邊中的凹部。這提供了簡單的組裝,在該組裝中,能夠輕易地將元件引導到位中而不妨礙彼此。進一步地,用以支持浸漬管之近位端之支持部安插提供了將浸漬管固定在所需位置中的簡單方式。因此,可簡單地組裝香菸,同時可靠地安置所有的元件。
可能的是,出口閥門管、浸漬管、支持部及再填充閥門中之一或更多個是一體的,或是在安插進殼體之前組裝為子組件。例如,出口閥門管及浸漬管可一體成形,或支持部及再填充閥門可安插為單一元件。然而,較佳地,步驟b)至e)是分離的且順序的。
步驟f)至h)可為分離的及順序的。然而,最好閥門構件及以呼吸操作的閥門致動機構是一體的且在單一步驟中安插。
係需要將元件安插進再填充端之步驟的步驟b)至e)可在係涉及側向開口之步驟的步驟f)至h)之前或之後實現。然而,較佳地,步驟f)發生在步驟b)之後,使得出口閥門管係在閥門構件到位之前放置到位。當出口閥門管正被安插時,這避免了閥門構件妨礙出口閥門管或對出口閥門管造成潛在損害。
殼體之外表面及封蓋本身提供了模擬香菸的外部表面。然而,較佳地,在步驟h)之後,方法進一步包括將一包裹物黏至組件,包裹物包括紙層或紙狀層以及聚合物薄膜以保護紙層或紙狀層。有了這樣的包裹物,封蓋可不需要個別地固定至殼體,因為這可藉由包裹物保持到位,雖然較佳的是,封蓋係在施加包裹物之前至少暫時固定到位。最佳的是,封蓋係以黏著劑、焊接或其他物理或化學接合來永久固定。如WO 2011/117580中所揭露的,包裹物給予了模擬香菸香菸狀的模樣及感覺。
在再填充端處所安插的許多元件可個別固定到位。較佳地,然而,將再填充閥門固定到位的步驟將支持部、浸漬管及出口閥門管維持到位。因此,沒有需要個別固定這些元件。
再填充閥門可藉由焊接、黏著劑或契合進位置的鎖扣來保持到位。較佳地,是聲波焊接至殼體以形成氣密封接。
可提供出口閥門管一孔口,閥門構件選擇性進入該孔口以有效地操作為閘閥。然而,較佳地,出口閥門管係可變形的管子且閥門構件係經佈置以選擇性地捏縮出口閥門管。這樣的捏縮閥門提供了控制來自儲存器之流動的簡單及可靠方式。
以呼吸操作的閥門機構可為任何合適的設計,但較佳地包括以上之隔膜,在該隔膜處,藉由使用者在出口端上吸吮而形成了凹陷。
因為支持部允許浸漬管的近位端在儲存器內被支
持,為了最佳效能,支持部的位置可被固定。可朝殼體之再填充端支持浸漬管的近位端以在「尖端朝下」的方向中最大化所發給的化合物量,該「尖端朝下」的方向是最正常的吸入位置。然而,較佳地,浸漬管之近位端係經固定,使得模擬香菸的主軸通過近位端且以便浸漬管入口係以軸向方向安置於儲存器容積之中心50%中。這將管子鏜孔入口朝儲存器之中心安置,使得無論香菸的方向,可發給液體的約50%。每次再填充儲存器,不論香菸的方向,這允許了大約相同的要發給的化合物量。這對於使用者提供了一致的劑量。
較佳地,浸漬管是有彈性的且支持部之內部在其遠位端處具有漸狹表面以將浸漬管之近位端引導至所需的位置。

現在將參照隨附的圖示來描述依據本發明之組裝模擬香菸之方法的示例,其中:
圖1為通過模擬香菸的軸向截面;圖2類似圖1而為一「尖端朝下」配置的視圖;圖3類似圖1及2而為一「尖端朝上」配置的視圖;圖4為軸向截面,更詳細地圖示圖1的右邊部分。
圖5為管子支持部的端視圖;以及圖6為分解透視圖,圖示第二示例的組裝程序;以及圖7為第二示例的截面圖。
模擬香菸之基本佈置係如WO2011/107737中所述。因此,所組裝的模擬香菸大致具有圓柱形的形狀且約為香菸的尺寸。其具有外殼1,該外殼1具有出口端2及再填充端3,該再填充端3具有儲存器4。在出口端2處的是輪葉(vane)5,該輪葉5具有齒狀物形式的閥門構件6,為了關閉管子,該閥門構件6捏縮彈性管7。如WO2011/107737中所述且如UK申請案1215278.1中更詳細描述的,出口閥門5進一步包括一輪葉,該輪葉同隔膜(diaphragm)8共同鑄模以當使用者在出口端2上吸吮時,抵抗彈簧9的動作而開啟閥門構件6。
在儲存器4的相對端處的是再填充閥門構件10,該再填充閥門構件10實質上為止回閥門,該止回閥門對於抵抗第二彈簧11的動作是可操作的。此為GB1305486.1之標的。第二彈簧11及再填充閥門構件10係固定於罐籠12中,該罐籠12具有許多開口13,使得罐籠12內之空間形成儲存器4之部分。
也在儲存器4內的是彈性浸漬管20,該彈性浸漬管20具有內部鏜孔21。鏜孔21具有出口22,該出口22係安置為相鄰於彈性管7。浸漬管20可對著彈性管7放置(圖1-3)或放置在彈性管7裡面(圖7),以便合成物僅能透過鏜孔21到達彈性管7。如自圖示而顯而易見的,可以是浸漬管20的側壁或要不就是端壁(圖1-3)同彈性管7封接,但最好是兩者同彈性管7封接(圖7)。若浸漬管20是在彈性管7裡面,兩個管子彼此封接且彈性管7同殼體封接。自圖示亦為顯而易見的是,在閥門構件6及浸漬管20之間的彈性管7的
右側亦為儲存器的一部分。
在管子20的入口端25處,鏜孔21具有入口26。如圖4中所示,入口端25係由支持部30所支持,以便鏜孔21的入口端25(且最好是入口26)係在殼體1的主軸X上。
如圖4中所最佳地圖示的,支持部30在最接近再填充端3的支持部30之端處對著閥門罐籠12鄰接。支持部30及閥門罐籠可製作為單一元件。在相對端處,支持部30具有錐形面31,該錐形面31面向出口端2。此端之外直徑32具有相對應於在此點之儲存器4內直徑的相似直徑,以便支持部30以一緊度契合於儲存器4內。如圖5中所示之四個開口34允許儲存器中之液體自由通過支持部30以取得對入口26的進出。
現在將參照圖6來描述模擬香菸的組件,圖6係以分解圖來圖示該等元件。
模擬香菸係製造於無塵室環境(最好是BS EN ISO 14644-1:1999等級8的無塵室或以上)中。組裝線可以一或更多個手動或/及半自動或全自動的組裝站來組成,該一或更多個手動或/及半自動或全自動的組裝站能夠獨立式地或要不就模組化地集成於相同組裝線中。在最偏好的設計中,香菸係如下所載地組裝。
在第一站處,再填充閥門子組件係藉由將罐籠12、彈簧11、再填充閥門構件10、閥門封接墊圈27及端帽28契合在一起來組裝,藉此形成一單一元件,稱為罐籠閥門。這可在生產線進一步的站處形成,而不是一預先形成的子組
件。可在將罐籠閥門集成於下一個組裝站之前,測試罐籠閥門的洩漏且同支持部30組裝罐籠閥門。
在第二組裝站處,殼體1係放置於一嵌套(nest)中,且彈性管7係安插進殼體1,其次是浸漬管20。該經子組裝的罐籠閥門及支持部30接著係放置進殼體1,且初始化一超音波循環以將端帽28焊接至殼體1,藉此將所有先前安插的元件夾鉗及封接到位。
在第三站處,包括輪葉5、共同鑄模的隔膜8及閥門構件6之閥門組件係自側邊裝載至殼體1上且經超音波焊接到位。彈簧9接著裝載進輪葉5之凹部,且帽體29係在該閥門組件上放置到位,以將彈簧9保持到位且封接圓柱形殼體。接著將帽體29超音波焊接至殼體1上。
在各單獨步驟處及最終組裝處,品質控制可為適當的。
可包裹裝置且可將裝置移動至進一步的子組裝組裝站,在該處係將標籤L抹在該裝置上。
將自圖示及自以上的解釋所理解的是,儲存器4的形狀是複雜的。右側部分具有大致圓柱形的配置,佔據了裝置直徑的大部分,同時儲存器的左側部分可僅為管子的內部鏜孔21,或者儲存器可有一部分是在此管的任一側上。進一步地,在右側部分中,儲存器的容積係藉由在儲存器內的管子20的入口端部分、封接墊圈27、支持部30、閥門罐籠12、第二彈簧11及再填充閥門構件10的部分而降低。因此,當儲存器4的容積可以藉由測量這些元件來判定,實驗性地判
定這個可能是較簡單的。
現在將參照圖1-3來描述裝置之操作。
當使用者在出口端2上吸吮時,輪葉5舉起。倘若鏜孔21的入口26在儲存器中液體的位準L以下,液體將沿鏜孔21行進且將以順著出口閥門構件6的流向霧化以產生用於吸入的煙流。圖1-3圖示填充儲存器4之液體主體的形心C。鏜孔21之入口26係在形心的附近中。在圖1中所圖示之此特定的示例中,係朝再填充端3自形心C位移1.3mm。在圖1中所示之水平方向中,所有在位準L以上的液體可自該香菸吸入,位準L代表了儲存器中全部液體的約50%。當香菸是在圖2中所示的尖端朝下的配置中時,因為入口26係如上所述地自形心C位移,相較於圖1中的,稍微更多的液體是可用的。反之,在尖端朝上的配置中,稍微較少的液體可供吸入。在不同的佈置中,入口26係在形心C處,以便三個位置之間的發給實質上無變化。如所示,當前的偏好是入口26自形心C朝再填充端稍微位移,因為在更普遍的尖端朝下的方向中,這造成發給了稍微更多的液體。
一旦液體位準到達圖1-3中所示之位置L,可依使用者裁量透過再填充閥門10來再填充。
