Detailed ways

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, one embodiment of an aerosol-generating article 100 includes a seal assembly 110, a carrier 114, a condensing assembly, and a nozzle member 140. The seal assembly 110, the condensing assembly, and the nozzle member 140 are disposed in sequence.

The seal assembly 110 is for receiving and sealing a carrier 114 for carrying an aerosol generating matrix (e.g., an aerosol generating matrix in liquid form) such that the aerosol generating matrix is sealed by the sealing assembly 110. Among them, the component composed of the aerosol generating substrate, the carrier 114 and the sealing assembly 110 may be referred to as a cartridge.

As shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4, the seal assembly 110 includes a container 1111, a first pierceable seal 112, a container lid 11113, and a second pierceable seal 113.

The container lid 11113 is provided with a container lid hole 11114, and the carrier 114 is provided with a carrier through hole 1141.

The container 1111 is a cup-shaped container having a container opening 11112. The lower surface of the bottom of the container 1111 is provided with a container hole 11111. The first pierceable seal 112 covers the container hole 11111 at the lower surface inner wall of the bottom of the container 1111. The container cover 11113 The container opening 11112 is sealed, and the second pierceable seal 113 covers the container lid hole 11114 from the outer wall of the container lid 11113, wherein the container lid hole 11114, the carrier through hole 1141, and the container hole 11111 are sequentially opposed.

As shown in FIG. 1, in one embodiment of an aerosol generating system, an aerosol generating system includes an aerosol-generating article 100 and an aerosol generating device 200 that cooperates with an aerosol-generating article 100 to contain an aerosol. One end of the article 100 is produced. The aerosol generating device 200 includes a piercing member 210, a heating member 220, a first heat insulating member 230, and a device housing 240. As shown in FIG. 11, the first heat insulating member 230 is provided with a second air groove 2301 and a third gas. The slot 2302, as shown in FIG. 8, is provided with an air inlet 243 on the device housing 240.

An aerosol generating matrix refers to a substance capable of generating an aerosol under certain conditions. For a liquid form of an aerosol generating matrix, it is usually required to evaporate the aerosol generating matrix under heating to form an evaporating substance (for example, a gas). The evaporant is mixed with air to form an aerosol under certain conditions. The aerosol generating substrate may be smoky oil, and the smoky oil may include glycerin (glycerin), propylene glycol, flavor (or fragrance) and nicotine (nicotine). Among the above-mentioned cigarette oils, nicotine and/or flavor may be derived from tobacco extract. Alternative. Smoke oil may also not contain nicotine.

The carrier 114 is used to carry an aerosol generating matrix (e.g., an aerosol generating matrix in liquid form), and the carrier 114 has a carrier through hole 1141 for insertion of the piercing member 210. The carrier 114 may be cotton (which may be a high temperature resistant cotton), porous ceramic, glass fiber, or the like, or other porous structure having a certain ability to absorb liquid.

The first pierceable seal 112 and the second pierceable seal 113 are used to be pierced by the piercing member 210. The first pierceable seal 112 and the second pierceable seal 113 are easily pierced by the piercing member 210, and the position to be pierced may be in a state of being broken, torn, or the like. The first pierceable seal 112 and the second puncturable seal 113 may be provided with scores that are easily broken in the direction of the score when pierced by the piercing member 210. The first puncturable seal 112 and the second pierceable seal 113 may be formed of a thin metal layer such as aluminum foil or the like.

The container 1111 and the container lid 11113 are preferably made of a high temperature resistant material (wherein the container lid 11113 is preferably made of a high temperature resistant plastic), for example the container 1111 preferably uses a metal container (preferably having a first puncturable seal 112 and a second pierceable seal) The member 113 has a greater thickness, such as an aluminum container, to prevent the pierced member 210 from heating to melt or to produce an odor other than the aerosol generating matrix and/or aerosol. The container lid 11113 preferably has a greater thickness than the first pierceable seal 112 and the second pierceable seal 113. If the first pierceable seal 112 is secured to the outer wall of the container 1111, the first puncturable seal is removed when the aerosol-generating article 100 is removed from the aerosol-generating device 200 after the aerosol-generating article 100 is used. 112 is easily detached and remains in the aerosol generating device 200. In the present embodiment, since the first puncturable seal 112 is fixed (for example, by adhesive bonding or spot welding, etc.) on the inner wall of the lower surface of the container 1111, the above situation is less likely to occur. The above adhesive may be an inorganic adhesive or an organic adhesive (for example, a protein adhesive, a rubber adhesive, a polymer adhesive, etc.). If the first puncturable seal 112 is adhered to the container 1111 by an adhesive, especially an organic adhesive, since the first pierceable seal 112 and the container 1111 are heated by the piercing member 210, the viscosity of the organic adhesive is lowered, when When the aerosol-generating product 100 is pulled out of the aerosol-generating device 200, the first pierceable seal 112 is more likely to fall off and remain in the aerosol-generating device 200. By sticking the first puncturable seal 112 to the inner wall of the container 1111, even if the first puncturable seal 112 is detached, it remains in the container 1111, so that the aerosol-generating article 100 is pulled out.

As shown in FIG. 10, the side wall 215 of the piercing member 210 is provided with a first air groove 211. As shown in FIG. 9, in one embodiment, the piercing member 210 is provided with a piercing member cavity 212, and the heating member 220 is disposed within the piercing member cavity 212. The heat generated by the heating member 220 reaches the piercing member through heat conduction. 210 on. In some cases there is a gap between the heating member 220 and the sidewall of the piercing member cavity 212, which may be filled with a thermally conductive material to provide good thermal conduction between the heating member 220 and the piercing member 210. The overall contour of the piercing member 210 may be in the shape of a cylinder, a rectangular parallelepiped, a square or the like, and the top of the piercing member 210 may have a conical shape or the like to pierce the first puncturable seal 112 and the second puncturable seal. 113. Of course, the top of the piercing member 210 may also have no sharp shape.

As shown in Figure 1, the piercing member 210 readily transfers heat to the device housing 240 during use, causing the device housing 240 to become hot. By arranging the first thermal insulation component 230 at the bottom of the piercing component 210 and between the piercing component and the device housing 240, heat transfer to the device housing 240 can be reduced or prevented. As shown in FIG. 11, the outer wall of the first heat insulating member 230 is provided with a second air groove 2301, and the upper surface of the first heat insulating member 230 is provided with a third air groove 2302, so that the first heat insulating member 230 is processed. simpler. In one embodiment, the first thermal insulation component 230 is placed over the bottom of the piercing component 210. The first heat insulating member 230 may be made of ceramic.

Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 8, in use, the piercing member 210 first passes through the container aperture 11111 of the container 1111, then pierces the first puncturable seal 112, and then inserts the carrier through the first end of the carrier through hole 1141. The aperture 1141, then through the container cover aperture 11114, ultimately pierces the second pierceable seal 113, the sidewall 215 of the piercing member 210 abuts the carrier 114 and heats the aerosol-generating matrix in the carrier 114 to aerosol The resulting substrate is heated and evaporated to form an evaporant into the first gas channel 211. The air enters the aerosol generating device 200 via the air inlet 243, and then enters the first air groove 211 through the second air groove 2301, the third air groove 2302, the container hole 11111, and the position where the first pierceable seal 112 is punctured. Thereby, the evaporant is mixed into a mixture, and then the mixture enters the nozzle member 140 through the position where the first gas groove 211 and the second pierceable seal 113 are punctured. The mixture eventually forms an aerosol, and the aerosol may be formed in the first gas channel 211 or downstream of the first gas channel 211 (outside the first gas channel 211).

In the above embodiment, since the piercing member 210 is in close contact with the carrier 114 to heat the aerosol generating substrate in the carrier 114, the heating effect is good, and the first air groove 211 is provided on the side wall of the piercing member 210. The evaporant which causes the aerosol generating substrate to be heated and evaporated can be driven by the air flowing through the first gas groove 211 to finally form an aerosol. If the piercing member 210 is not in close contact with the carrier 114, the heating effect will be greatly reduced, because the gap between the piercing member 210 and the carrier 114 will pass through the flowing air, thereby taking away more heat, in order to achieve better heating effect. It is necessary to increase the temperature of the piercing member 210, thereby causing a decrease in battery life of the aerosol generating device 200.

A plurality of first air grooves 211 may be disposed on the sidewall of the piercing member 210. Compared to the first air groove 211, the plurality of first air grooves 211 facilitate generating more aerosols at the same time. Correspondingly, a corresponding number of second air grooves 2301 and third air grooves 2302 may be provided, and each of the second air grooves 2301 is in communication with a corresponding one of the third air grooves 2302 and the first air grooves 211. Thus, the air sequentially passes through the second air groove 2301 and the third air groove 2302, and then enters the corresponding first air groove 211.

As shown in FIG. 11, in other embodiments, the bottom side wall of the piercing member 210 further has a fourth air groove 213 extending along the surface of the piercing member 210, and a plurality of first air grooves 211 and a fourth air groove. After the 213 is connected, the air enters the fourth air groove 213 through the second air groove 2301 and the third air groove 2302, and then enters each of the first air grooves 211 respectively. It can be seen that the fourth gas groove 213 functions to distribute air to the different first gas grooves 211. The fourth air groove 213 may extend in a circumferential direction on the bottom side wall of the piercing member 210. The fourth air groove 213 may have an annular shape or an arc shape according to the length. In some embodiments, the first heat insulating member 230 may also have a plurality of second air grooves 2301 (and a corresponding number of third air grooves 2302), and the plurality of third air grooves 2302 communicate with the fourth air grooves 213.
