Description

Capsule with long and short radial lines and tubular hydrophobic container capable of carrying the capsule

The present invention relates to a capsule with long and short radial lines and a tubular hydrophobic container that can hold the capsule, especially a capsule in which a part of the sealing film is separated from the capsule body by pressing the long radial line of the capsule body and a capsule carrying the capsule Tubular hydrophobic container.

In the conventional filter cigarette, the filter can be composed of a filter plug of cellulose acetate tow wrapped around a porous filter plug wrap. A filter cigarette with a multi-component filter that includes two or more sections of filter material for removing particulates and gas components of mainstream smoke.

Many smoking articles in which aerosol-forming substrates (such as tobacco) are heated rather than burned are also proposed in the art. In heated smoking articles, aerosol is generated by heating the aerosol-forming substrate, where the aerosol is generated by electric heating, or by transferring heat from combustible fuel elements or heat sources to the aerosol-forming substrate . During smoking, volatile compounds are released from the aerosol-forming substrate and are entrained in the air inhaled by the smoking article. The aerosol-forming substrate is heated by heat transfer from the heat source. The released compound will condense when cooled, forming an aerosol that consumers can inhale. Such smoking products are also known, in which the production of nicotine-containing aerosols can come from tobacco materials, tobacco extracts, or other nicotine sources, which do not need to be burned, and in some cases do not need to be heated, but for example through chemical reaction.

It is known to incorporate fragrance additives into smoking articles to provide additional odor during consumer smoking. Flavors can be used to enhance the tobacco odor produced when tobacco materials are heated or burned in smoking articles, or to provide additional non-tobacco odors such as mint or menthol (Menthol). Flavor additives used in smoking products (such as menthol) usually take the form of content flavors, which are incorporated into the filter or tobacco rod of the smoking product using an appropriate content carrier. The content fragrance is usually volatile and therefore will be transferred or evaporated from the smoking article during storage. Therefore, the amount of fragrance used for mainstream smoke smell during smoking is reduced.

It has previously been proposed, for example, to encapsulate flavors in the form of capsules or microcapsules to reduce the loss of flavors volatilized from smoking articles. The encapsulated fragrance can be released by breaking the encapsulation structure (for example, by crushing or melting the structure) before or during the smoking of the smoking article. In the case of breaking these capsules to release the fragrance, the capsules will burst open and release the fragrance under a certain force.

In this way, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN104780793A has disclosed a capsule containing contents, which is mainly squeezed from two sides in the diameter direction of the capsule 12a through an external force F to cause internal pressure to form inside the capsule 12a. The bottom of the V-shaped groove 16 The thickness is reduced (thin-walled area). Therefore, when the internal pressure of the capsule 12a is applied to the end wall 16, the bottom of the specific V-shaped groove 16 is correctly positioned at the center of the central portion 14 and is easily broken, thereby making the contents of the capsule 12a It sprays from the fractured part of the V-shaped groove 16 toward the center of the filter element. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 (such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 of Patent No. CN104780793A).

However, the prior art capsule has a circular structure and only has a diameter of equal length. Therefore, when the user applies force on the capsule 12a, it takes a lot of effort to make the capsule 12a squeeze. In addition, when the capsule 12a is squeezed to form an internal pressure, although the thickness of each V-shaped groove 16 is relatively thin to form a thin-walled area, each V-shaped groove 16 is integrally formed with the capsule. The user must destroy the thin-walled area to effectively remove the contents of the capsule 12a. It can be seen from the above that the structure disclosed in the prior art cannot effectively provide a rupturable capsule. Therefore, the present inventors have invented a capsule with long and short radial lines and a tubular hydrophobic container that can hold the capsule to improve the above The technical issues mentioned.

Specific embodiments are described below to illustrate the implementation of the present invention, but they are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

Please refer to FIGS. 3 and 4, which are the three-dimensional schematic diagram of the capsule body of the present invention and the long radial line extrusion state diagram of the capsule body, as shown in the figure. The present invention provides a capsule with long and short radial lines, comprising: a capsule body 20. One end of the capsule body 20 is provided with an open end 21. Because the capsule body 20 is in the shape of an elliptical cylinder, the open end 21 is It has a long radial line 22 (for example, the long diameter of an ellipse) and a short radial line 23 (for example, the short diameter of an ellipse). The long radial line 22 and the short radial line 23 correspond to each other, so that the When the length of the long radial line 22 decreases, the length of the short radial line 23 will increase, but when the length of the long radial line 22 increases, the length of the short radial line 23 will decrease; however, the capsule In addition to the shape and structure of an elliptical cylinder, the main body 20 may also be a rectangular cylinder, a triangular cylinder, a drop-shaped cylinder, etc., having the long radial line 22 and the short radial line 23. In addition, the radial line is defined as a straight line passing through the center or center between two points on the periphery of a shape.

In addition, the open end 21 and the sealing film 30 are connected to each other to close the open end 21 through the sealing film 30, so that a closed space is formed inside the capsule body 20, so the sealing film 30 is not in contact with the capsule body 20 The sealing film 30 is connected to the open end 21 through techniques such as glue or hot pressing. Therefore, the connection strength of the sealing film 30 and the capsule body 20 is higher than that of the previous capsule. An integrally formed thin wall can also easily open the open end 21 of the capsule body 20, which means that the sealing film 30 only needs to be partially separated from the capsule body 20 to form an open space 24, and the capsule body 20 can be led out. However, the thin wall integrally formed with the capsule in the prior art must be broken to open one end of the capsule.

In this way, because the capsule body 20 is made of elastic material, when the user squeezes the two ends of the long radial line 22, the external force will press from the outside to the inside, so that the capsule body The diameter length of the long radial line 22 of 20 gradually decreases inward, and relatively, when the length of the long radial line 22 decreases inward, the short radial line 23 will correspondingly increase in length outward. , Thereby making the area of the open end 21 larger. For example, the radius of the long radial line 22 of the original ellipse is 3.7mm, the radius of the short radial line 23 is 2.5mm, and the circumference is 19.66mm, so the area is: S=πab (a is the radius of the long radial line of the ellipse , B is the radius of the short radial line of the ellipse), and S≒29.05mm ^{2 is obtained} . For a circle with a circumference of 19.66mm, the diameter is about 6.258mm (the diameter of the circle is the circumference divided by the circumference of the circle), and the area of the circle is approximately 30.742mm ² (the area of the circle is equal to the radius multiplied by the radius multiplied by the circumference of the circle) ). In this way, when the long radial line 22 is squeezed by an external force to make the open end 21 a round or nearly round shape, its area will increase by about 5.8% (30.742mm ² ÷29.05mm ^{2 =} 1.058 mm ² ), the sealing film 30 will rupture due to the change in its area, so that the area of the sealing film 30 itself is insufficient, thereby effectively opening the open end 21 to release the contents in the capsule body 20 .

Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, which are a schematic diagram of the interior of the container and a diagram of the extrusion state of the container of the present invention, as shown in the figure. The container 40 is provided with an accommodating space 41, and the accommodating space 41 is arranged between two ends of the container 40, and the two ends of the accommodating space 41 are respectively provided with a filter body 50, and two filter bodies The capsule body 20 can be sandwiched between 50, however, because the capsule body 20 has the long radial line 22 and the short radial line 23, and the container 40 is made of a transparent material, or the container The body 40 containing the capsule body 20 is made of a transparent material, and the place where each filter body 50 is contained may be made of a non-transparent material. Therefore, when the capsule body 20 is the colored capsule body 20, And when the content is contained inside, the position of the capsule body 20 can be effectively displayed and the user knows the position of the capsule body 20. In addition, the capsule body 20 has the long radial line 22 and the short radial line 23, and the closer The end of the capsule body 20 inside the container 40 will show the position of the end more clearly. Therefore, the two ends of the long radial line 22 fit the inside of the container 40 or the long diameter One end of the directional line 22 is attached to the inner side of the container 40, and the other end of the long radial line 22 is spaced from the inner side of the container 40, so the positions of the two ends of the long radial line 22 are clearly displayed On the periphery of the container 40, the user can know the positions of the two ends of the long radial line 22.

However, because the capsule body 20 and the container 40 are made of elastic materials, when the user knows the position of the two ends of the long radial line 22, the position of the two ends of the long radial line 22 When an external force is applied to the corresponding peripheral position of the container 40, the length of the diameter of the long radial line 22 of the capsule body 20 gradually decreases inward, and relatively, when the length of the long radial line 22 decreases inwardly At this time, the short radial line 23 will correspondingly expand outward in length, thereby making the area of the open end 21 larger, so as to effectively tear the sealing film 30, so that part of the sealing film 30 and the sealing film 30 The open end 21 is separated to form the open space 24, thereby opening the open end 21 to lead out the content contained in the capsule body 20 into the container 40; in addition, because the content is full To the inside of the capsule body 20, when the user applies an external force from the two ends of the long radial line 22, an internal pressure is formed inside the capsule body 20, and when part of the sealing film 30 penetrates the aforementioned When the capsule body 20 is torn when it is actuated, the content inside the capsule body 20 will be ejected from the inside of the capsule body 20 into the container 40. Thereby, the easy-to-tear capsule body 20 can be provided, which can be effectively applied to similar technologies such as drug delivery devices or cigarette filters.

The above detailed description is a specific description of a possible embodiment of the present invention, but this embodiment is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any equivalent implementation or modification that does not deviate from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in In the scope of the patent in this case.
