Description

非燃烧烟具 技术领域
本公开涉及烟具技术领域,尤其是涉及一种非燃烧烟具。
背景技术
随着对身体健康关注度的持续上升,人们逐渐意识到了将发烟制品进行燃烧产生烟雾用以吸食这一传统抽烟方式对身体的危害,因此开发了非燃烧烟具。
现有的非燃烧烟具典型地通过加热的方式使发烟制品产生烟雾。这种非燃烧烟具具有容纳发烟制品的加热腔,通过将发烟制品插入至非燃烧烟具的加热腔中,启动加热器进行发热来加热发烟制品,以使发烟制品产生烟雾供使用者吸食。
图1示出的现有技术披露了一种气溶胶发生装置,包括壳体、加热器元件、进气口26以及气流通道28。壳体具有近侧端和远侧端并包括至少一个外表面和一个内表面,所述内表面在壳体的近侧端处限定其中容置气溶胶形成基材的端部敞开的空腔,所述空腔在它的近侧端和远侧端之间具有纵向延伸部。加热器元件位于所述空腔内,其被构造为加热容置于空腔中的气溶胶形成基材。气流通道28在壳体的内表面与外表面之间从进气口30延伸至空腔的远侧端。
本申请人发现,在实际使用中,由于气流通道28布置在壳体的内表面与外表面之间,该气流通道比较狭窄,抽吸期间进入灰尘等异物后,造成气流通道变窄,甚至阻塞,导致抽吸不畅。而且,使用者通常无法容易地清理布置在壳体的内表面与外表面之间的这么狭窄的气流通道。此外,气溶胶发生装置的壳体除了形成气流通道外,还容纳电池、控制电路等各个部件,使用者一般难以将壳体单独地拆卸下来进行清理。

下面将详细解释本公开的示例性实施例。
根据本公开的实施例提供的非燃烧烟具参照图2示意性所示。该非燃烧烟具包括外壳1、主体2、加热器21和提取器3。主体2包括用于形成加热腔的腔壁22。外壳1设置于主体2的加热腔外部。加热器21设置在加热腔内。提取器3安装于主体2的加热腔中,提取器3内部开设有用于接收发烟制品4的接收腔。
在该实施例中,提取器3可以为套筒的形式,具有相对的第一端部和第二端部,第一端部具有端壁,第二端部为敞口的,以供发烟制品插入到接收腔内。第一端部的端壁在使用期间支承或抵靠发烟制品4。在第一端部的端壁中设置有供加热器21穿过的孔眼。发烟制品4从提取器3的敞口的第二端部插入到提取器3内部,并一直插入到与其第一端部的端壁相抵接的状态。在这个实施例中,腔壁22为大体圆柱形管的形式,具有比提取器3的外径稍大的内径,使得提取器3可以滑动地接收在加热腔内。
如图所示,发烟制品4具有细长圆柱形形状,并且包括气雾形成基体41和过滤嘴棒,该气雾形成基体41和过滤嘴棒接续布置并且共轴线对准。气雾形成基体41和过滤嘴棒包裹有外部纸包裹件。这里仅仅是发烟制品的示意性表示,其可以包括其他 部件。
加热器21延伸穿过提取器3的第一端部中的孔眼并且插入到位于提取器3的接收腔内的发烟制品4的气雾形成基体41中。
根据本公开的实施例,在提取器3的内周壁上设置有从提取器的第二端部延伸到第一端部的进气通道。
优选地,进气通道为形成在提取器3的内周壁上的凹槽31。优选地,如图3所示,进气通道为沿提取器3的内周均匀地形成在提取器3的内周壁上的多条凹槽31。
在所示的实施例中,凹槽31为从提取器的第二端部笔直地延伸到第一端部的线性凹槽。
可替换地并且优选地,凹槽31为从提取器的第二端部螺旋地延伸到所述第一端部的螺旋形凹槽(未示出)。在这种情况下,所形成的螺旋气流能够更多地带走发烟制品散发的热量。并且气流携带的灰尘或其他杂物在离心力的带动下更容易积聚在提取器的第二端部附近,这样更便于后续清理。
可替换地,套筒形式的提取器3的内周壁可以具有非圆形轮廓(未示出),例如卵形轮廓、三角形轮廓、多边形轮廓等等。该非圆形轮廓的内周壁与发烟制品4的圆形轮廓的外周壁之间的空隙形成所述凹槽形式的进气通道。当然,在提取器3的内周壁具有非圆形轮廓的情况下,发烟制品4的外周壁可以具有与之不同的任何轮廓,只要两者之间能够形成空隙,都可以形成这样的进气通道。例如,提取器具有五边形的内周壁,而发烟制品具有六边形的外周壁,等等。为将发烟制品保持在提取器中不晃动,提取器3的部分内周壁可以形成有与发烟制品的外周壁轮廓相匹配的轮廓。
进气通道具有在提取器3的第二端部处的进气口30。进气口30中的每一个都与相应的凹槽流体连通。在图2所示的实施例中,进气口30实际上为相应凹槽30的端部部分。进气口30的大小可由设计者选择并且可被选择成提供通过装置的所期望的吸阻。
在图2的实施例中,贯穿提取器3的第一端部的端壁设置有通孔32。优选地,通孔32的数量和大小对应于凹槽31的数量和大小。每个通孔32可以与相应的凹槽31对准。同样,可根据特定的操作参数改变通孔的数量、位置以及大小。当然,该端壁的内部可以形成有用于引导气流进入气雾形成基体的沟槽(未示出)。
在使用时,使用者将包括有气雾形成基体41的发烟制品4放置于提取器3的接收腔内。加热器21延伸穿过提取器3的第一端部的端壁中的孔眼并插入到发烟制品4 的气雾形成基体41中。使用者启动加热器21,加热器21加热气雾形成基体41以形成气雾。同时,在使用者对发烟制品4的过滤嘴棒的抽吸作用下,来自外部环境的空气从位于提取器3的第二端部(即图2中的上端部)处的进气口30流入提取器与发烟制品之间的凹槽31中。然后,空气沿着凹槽31一直行进至提取器3的第一端部附近,经由提取器3的第一端部的内壁与发烟制品4的气雾形成基体端之间的间隙进入发烟制品的气雾形成基体41中,和/或经由通孔32进入主体2与提取器3的第一端部之间的间隙、接着经由加热器所穿过的孔眼或其他孔眼进入发烟制品的气雾形成基体41中。随后,进入气雾形成基体41的空气流携带着通过加热气雾形成基体41形成的气雾行进通过气雾形成基体41,并最终行进至发烟制品4的过滤嘴棒,由此被使用者抽吸到嘴中供其吸食。
在本公开中,进气口设置于提取器的第二端部,而非像现有技术那样典型地设置于外壳或主体侧面。在此位置,进气口在使用期间被使用者的手无意中堵塞的可能性非常小,确保了抽吸通畅。
在本公开中,凹槽形式的进气通道位于提取器的内周壁与发烟制品的外周表面之间,抽吸时形成的气流从该进气通道带走从发烟制品散发的热量。空气因此在进入气雾形成基体41之前被预热,空气的这种预热不仅提高了烟具的效率,而且确保了气雾形成基体内的更加均匀的温度分布。此外,与前述现有技术披露的气溶胶发生装置相比,由于从发烟制品散发的热量来不及传递给提取器、腔壁和外壳就直接被气流带走,所以进一步有效地降低了使用烟具时外壳表面的温度,这使得使用者能够更舒服地拿持烟具。
特别是,随着时间推移,当灰尘或其他异物积聚在进气通道中造成抽吸不畅甚至堵塞时,由于凹槽形式的进气通道设置于提取器的内周壁上,提取器的接收腔空间较大,使用者可以容易地到达凹槽对其进行简单清理。此外,由于提取器是独立部件,使用者也可以轻易地将提取器拆卸下来,对其内部表面进行充分清理,例如化学浸泡或使用工具等各种手段。
优选地,为了进一步减少加热器21的热量传递给外壳1,防止非燃烧烟具发烫,可以在提取器3的外周壁、腔壁22和/或外壳1的内周壁上设置隔热槽。例如,通过将外壳1的部分内周壁挖去,留下一层薄壁,形成的凹部为隔热槽。由于隔热槽形成了一隔热空间,因此加热器在加热过程中散发的热量到达该隔热槽,在该隔热空间中被空气阻隔,从而减少传递给外壳1的热量。在一些实施例中,隔热槽内可以放置隔 热材料。
关于本公开的一个方面或一个实施例描述的特征也可以应用于本公开的其他方面或其他实施例。
在本公开的实施例中,优选地,发烟制品是加热式发烟制品,其包括的气雾形成基体旨在被加热而不是燃烧,以便释放可形成气雾的易挥发化合物。通过加热气雾形成基体而形成的气雾可以包含比通过气雾形成基体的燃烧或热降解可能产生的少的已知有害组分。发烟制品可以是烟草棒,或者可以包括烟草棒。
在本公开的各实施例中,加热器包括一个或多个加热元件。加热元件可以包括电阻材料。可选择地,加热元件可以是红外加热元件、光子源、或感应加热元件。加热元件可以采取任何适当的形式。例如,加热元件可以采取加热叶片的形式。可选择地,加热元件可以采取具有不同的导电部分的壳体或基体、或者电阻性金属管的形式。可选择地,可以是一根或多根加热针或杆,该一根或多根加热针或杆穿过气雾形成基体的内部延伸。其它可选择例包括加热金属丝或灯丝,例如Ni-Cr(镍-铬)、铂、钨、或合金金属丝或加热板。选择性地,加热元件可以淀积在刚性载体材料中或刚性载体材料上。
在本公开的各实施例中,提取器的第一端部中可以设置有一个或多个孔眼,孔眼的数量可以多于加热器的加热元件的数量,也可以等于加热器的加热元件的数量。孔眼的尺寸应设计成允许加热器自由地穿过。孔眼可以具有任何适当的形状,例如,孔眼可以是矩形的或圆形的。孔眼的形状可以与加热元件(一个或多个)的横截面形状相同。可选择地,第一端部可以包括纱网或丝网,该纱网或丝网将允许空气流过。
气雾形成基体可以是固体气雾形成基体。可选择地,气雾形成基体可以既包括固体成分又包括液体成分。气雾形成基体可以包括含烟草的材料,该含烟草的材料包含易挥发烟草调味化合物,这些易挥发烟草调味化合物在加热时从基体释放。可选择地,气雾形成基体可以包括无烟草材料。气雾形成基体还可以包括气雾形成剂。适当的气雾形成剂的例子是甘油和丙二醇。
本公开可以包括在此隐含或明确公开的任何特征或特征组合或其概括,不局限于上述罗列的任何限定的范围。在此所述的有关任何元件、特征和/或结构布置可以以任何适合的方式组合。
以上公开的特定实施例仅是示例性的,对于受益于本公开中的教导的本领域技术人员来说显然的是,可以以各种方式修改和实施本公开。例如,可以按不同的顺序执 行上述方法步骤。此外,除了以下权利要求中所述的之外,并不限制本公开中示出的构造或设计的细节。因此显然的是,可对以上公开的具体实施例进行改变和修改,并且所有这些变型都被认为是落入本公开的范围和精神之内。因此,本公开中寻求的保护由所附的权利要求及其等同给出。
