Description

복수의 세그먼트로 구성된 궐련A cigarette consisting of a plurality of segments
본 개시는 복수의 세그먼트로 구성된 궐련을 제공한다.The present disclosure provides a cigarette composed of a plurality of segments.
근래에 일반적인 궐련의 단점들을 극복하는 대체 방법에 관한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 예를 들어, 궐련을 연소시켜 에어로졸을 생성시키는 방법이 아닌 궐련 내의 에어로졸 발생 물질이 가열됨에 따라 에어로졸이 생성되는 방법에 관한 수요가 증가하고 있다.In recent years there is a growing demand for alternative ways to overcome the shortcomings of common cigarettes. For example, there is an increasing demand for how aerosols are generated as the aerosol-generating material in the cigarette is heated, rather than burning the cigarette to produce aerosols.
일반적으로 담배 매질의 주원료인 슬러리 판상엽 시트의 경우 인장력이 약하여 제조적성이 어려우며, 담배 매질에 보습제도 다량 함유 되어 있어 물리성이 취약하다. 또한, 보습제를 함유한 담배 매질은 친수성으로 인하여 주위 환경의 습도에도 민감하여 제조 공조 환경을 제어하는데 어려움이 있다. 담배 매질 내 함유시킬 수 있는 보습제의 양도 한계가 있다.In general, the slurry platelet sheet, which is the main raw material of the tobacco medium, has a weak tensile force, making it difficult to manufacture, and the tobacco medium contains a large amount of a moisturizing agent, which is vulnerable to physical properties. In addition, the tobacco medium containing the moisturizer is difficult to control the manufacturing air conditioning environment because it is sensitive to the humidity of the ambient environment due to hydrophilicity. There is also a limit to the amount of moisturizer that can be contained in the tobacco medium.
이에 따라, 가열식 궐련에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다.Accordingly, research on heated cigarettes has been actively conducted.
복수의 세그먼트로 구성된 궐련을 제공하는데 있다. 궐련은 담배 매질 수용부와 보습제 수용부를 포함할 수 있다. 특히, 본 실시예에 따르면 보습제 수용부가 가압되어 보습제 수용부에 함유된 보습제가 담배 매질 수용부에 전달된 후, 보습제 수용부가 궐련으로부터 분리될 수 있다. To provide a cigarette consisting of a plurality of segments. The cigarette may include a tobacco medium receiver and a moisturizer receiver. In particular, according to this embodiment, after the moisturizer accommodating part is pressed to transfer the moisturizer contained in the moisturizer accommodating part to the tobacco medium accommodating part, the moisturizing accommodating part may be separated from the cigarette.
본 실시예가 이루고자 하는 기술적 과제는 상기된 바와 같은 기술적 과제들로 한정되지 않으며, 이하의 실시예들로부터 또 다른 기술적 과제들이 유추될 수 있다.The technical problem to be achieved by the present embodiment is not limited to the technical problems as described above, and further technical problems can be inferred from the following embodiments.

보습제 수용부(110)는 담배 매질 수용부(120)의 상류 말단부에 연결된다. 한편, 도 1에서는 필터부(130)가 담배 매질 수용부(120)의 하류 말단부와 접촉되어 있는 것으로 도시되어 있으나, 필터부(130)를 구성하는 일부 세그먼트가 보습제 수용부(110) 및 담배 매질 수용부(120) 사이에 위치할 수도 있다.The moisturizer receiver 110 is connected to an upstream end of the tobacco medium receiver 120. Meanwhile, although the filter unit 130 is shown in contact with the downstream end of the tobacco medium receiving unit 120 in FIG. 1, some segments constituting the filter unit 130 are the moisturizing agent receiving unit 110 and the tobacco medium. It may be located between the receiving unit 120.
한편, 담배 매질의 주원료인 슬러리 판상엽 시트의 경우 인장력이 약하여 제조적성이 어려우며, 담배 매질에 보습제도 다량 함유 되어 있어 물리성이 취약하다. 또한, 보습제를 함유한 담배 매질은 친수성으로 인하여 주위 환경의 습도에도 민감하여 제조 공조 환경을 제어하는데 어려움이 있다. 담배 매질 내 함유시킬 수 있는 보습제의 양도 한계가 있다. On the other hand, the slurry platelet sheet, which is the main raw material of the tobacco medium, is difficult to manufacture due to the weak tensile force, and the physical property is weak because the tobacco medium contains a large amount of a moisturizing agent. In addition, the tobacco medium containing the moisturizer is difficult to control the manufacturing air conditioning environment because it is sensitive to the humidity of the ambient environment due to hydrophilicity. There is also a limit to the amount of moisturizer that can be contained in the tobacco medium.
궐련(10)에 보습제를 함유한 보습제 수용부(110)가 별도의 세그먼트로 포함함으로써, 담배 매질 수용부(120)에 함유된 보습제의 양을 줄이거나 보습제를 담배 매질 수용부(120)에서 제거할 수 있다. 이로써 담배 매질 수용부(120)에 포함된 담배 매질의 물리성을 높이고, 담배 매질의 제조 공조 환경을 용이하게 제어할 수 있다. 보습제 수용부(110)에 함유된 보습제는 사용자가 궐련(10)을 사용하는 시점에 담배 매질 수용부(120)로 전달될 수 있다.By including a moisturizing agent 110 containing a moisturizer in the cigarette 10 as a separate segment, the amount of the moisturizer contained in the tobacco medium receiving part 120 or removing the moisturizing agent from the tobacco medium receiving part 120. can do. As a result, the physical properties of the tobacco medium included in the tobacco medium accommodating part 120 may be increased, and the air conditioning environment for manufacturing the tobacco medium may be easily controlled. The moisturizing agent contained in the moisturizer accommodating part 110 may be delivered to the tobacco medium accommodating part 120 at a time when the user uses the cigarette 10.
