Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a manufacturing method and a manufacturing apparatus for a cartridge including a flavor source for a non-combustion flavor inhaler.
  • Patent Document 1 discloses a powdery-and-granular-material packing apparatus including a press member provided at a lower end opening of an auger screw housed in a feeding tube and a holding member configured to move up and down after a powdery and granular material is packed in a packaging bag to allow the press member to compress the powdery and granular material in the packaging bag.
  • Patent Document 1 also discloses that a clearance is formed between the press member and inner surfaces of the holding member to enable air in the powdery and granular material to be efficiently discharged.
  • the flavor source in the container is ventilated.
  • the flavor source for the non-combustion flavor inhaler exhibits diverse types of cohesiveness and adhesiveness according to added flavor components.
  • the flavor source adheres to an inner wall of the auger screw or the feeding tube, making the amount of flavor source fed into the container likely to vary.
  • Simple feeding of the flavor source into the container may lead to a non-uniform distribution of the flavor source in the container or formation of a gap between the inner wall of the container and the flavor source.
  • the ventilation occurs in areas in the container that offer low ventilation resistance when the flavor source is ventilated and in the gap in the container. Therefore, when the user performs inhalation through the flavor inhaler, smoking taste may be unstable or sufficient smoking taste may fail to be obtained.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing method for a cartridge including a flavor source for a non-combustion flavor inhaler, the method making the distribution state of the flavor source in the container uniform to equalize the ventilation resistance of the flavor source during inhalation, allowing stabilization and improvement of the smoking taste to be achieved.

  • FIG. 15 is a flow diagram illustrating steps executed in a packaging station in FIG. 3.
  • the flavor source in the present embodiment includes a tobacco material, and the tobacco material is powdery granules with predetermined adhesiveness and cohesiveness.
  • a cartridge 1 used for a non-combustion flavor inhaler (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as a flavor inhaler) includes a tube member 2, a mesh member 4, a filter 6, and a cap 8.
  • the flavor inhaler has an inlet (not illustrated in the drawings) and an outlet formed in the cap 8, and forms a ventilation channel through which the inlet and the outlet 10 communicate with each other.
  • the cartridge 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 includes no flavor source for convenience of illustration.
  • the mesh member 4 is welded and preferably ultrasonic-welded to an inlet-side opening end of the tube 2 depicted by an arrow, or is molded integrally with the tube 2 and provided with a number of meshes enough to inhibit the flavor source to pass through.
  • the filter 6 is arranged in the vicinity of a taper portion 2a formed on an outlet 12 side of the tube 2, and is formed of predetermined fibers through which the flavor source does not pass.
  • the cap 8 is shaped like a ring and welded and preferably ultrasonic-welded to the other opening end of the tube member 2. The cap 8 locks the filter 6 in the tube member 2, and the outlet 10 of the cap 8 forms a suction mouth end of the flavor inhaler.
  • the cartridge 1 is configured to include a bottomed tube-like container 12 formed by the tube member 2 and the mesh member 4, which serves as the bottom of the container 12.
  • the container 12 is packed with the flavor source in a packing station described below.
  • a manufacturing apparatus 20 for the cartridge includes a drum 22 and a flavor source hopper (a hopper) 100.
  • the flavor source hopper 100 is arranged away from an outer circumference of the drum 22, and a packing unit 40A is arranged between the flavor source hopper 100 and the drum 22.
  • Seven pedestals 26 are attached to the outer circumferential portion of the drum 22.
  • Each of the pedestals 26 has six pockets 28 linearly arrayed in a direction substantially perpendicularly to a radial direction of the drum 22.
  • the drum 22 rotates intermittently around a radial center thereof with predetermined pitches in the direction of an arrow in FIG. 3 and in conjunction with the rotation each of pedestals 26 also moves intermittently in the rotation direction of the drum 22.
  • the drum 22 includes a container supplying station 30, a packing station 40, a compressing station 50, a filter feeding station 60, an inspecting station 70, a cap welding station 80, and a transfer station 90 all provided along the outer circumferential portion of the drum 22 in this order in a rotating direction thereof.
  • the intermittent rotation of the drum 22 results in intermittent sequential positioning of the pedestals 26, and each time the pedestals 26 are positioned, steps for manufacturing the cartridge 1 are executed in the stations 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90.
  • the container 12 is supplied to a container supplying unit 30A provided in the container supplying station 30 (a container supplying step).
  • the container supplying unit 30A includes a container hopper 32, a vibrating conveyor 34, and a wind carrying path 36.
  • a large number of containers 12 are stored in the container hopper 32, and the vibrating conveyor 34 is provided with six groove-like conveying paths 34a formed along a conveying direction of the container 12. Tubes 36a forming the wind carrying path 36 are connected to the respective conveying paths 34a.
  • the containers 12 fed from the container hopper 32 to the respective conveying paths 34a are conveyed along the vibrating conveyor 34 while being aligned with one another.
  • the containers 12 are then carried through the respective tubes 36a by wind and received in the respective pockets 28 in the pedestal 26 at the same time.
  • the pedestal 26 having received the containers 12 in the respective pockets 28 then moves to the packing station 40 in conjunction with rotation of the drum 22.
  • the packing station 40 is provided with a packing unit 40A positioned across the drum 22 and the flavor source hopper 100.
  • the packing unit 40A packs each of the containers 12 with the flavor source from the flavor source hopper 100 with the flavor source stored therein (packing step).
  • the packing unit 40A has a disc 44 that is rotated and elevated and lowered by a rotating, elevating, and lowering mechanism 42.
  • the disc 44 includes a pair of cylinder rows oppositely attached thereto and each including six cylinders 46 protruding downward and linearly arrayed.
  • Pistons 48 are arranged in the respective cylinders 46 and enabled to make up-down reciprocating motion. Each of the pistons 48 is elevated and lowered in synchronism with elevation and lowering of the disc 44.
  • the disc 44 is intermittently rotated in synchronism with intermittent rotation of the drum 22 by the rotating, elevating, and lowering mechanism 42 to intermittently position each cylinder row above the pedestal 26 and above the flavor source hopper 100.
  • the rotating, elevating, and lowering mechanism 42 lowers the disc 44 to insert lower ends of the cylinders 46 in one of the cylinder rows (the right cylinder row as viewed in FIG. 5) into a flavor formation layer 120 of the flavor source formed in the flavor source hopper 100.
  • each cylinder 46 elevates in conjunction with elevation of the disc 44, and the flavor source sticking out from the lower end of the cylinder 46 is removed by being blown away by air from an air scraper 49 (a removing process). Consequently, the flavor source trapped in the cylinder 46 is formed into a columnar massive material 122 containing a larger number of powder particles bonded together due to the adhesiveness and cohesiveness thereof.
  • the massive material 122 is locked on an inner surface of the cylinder 46 by its own adhesive force (or friction force) and is thus inhibited from falling down from the cylinder 46.
  • each of the cylinders 46 in the other cylinder row (the left cylinder row as viewed in FIG. 5) is positioned proximate to an opening of the container 12 arranged in the corresponding pocket 28 in the pedestal 26 or positioned in the container 12.
  • the positioning of the other cylinder row results in concurrent lowering of the pistons 48 arranged in the respective cylinders 46.
  • the massive material 122 trapped in each cylinder 46 is pushed out by the corresponding piston 48 and falls down into the corresponding container 12 below, which is thus packed with the massive material (a push-out process).
  • a force exerted by the piston 48 to push out the massive material 122 in the cylinder 46 is defined as a first pushing force.
  • the first pushing force is set equal to a load under which the massive material 122 pushed out by the piston 48 falls down toward a bottom surface of the container 12 at a falling speed within a predetermined range and is packed in the container 12 to enable a distribution state of the flavor source in the container 12 to be equalized.
  • load setting for the first pushing force is enabled by taking into account the adhesiveness and cohesiveness of the flavor source, the adhesive force (or the friction force) with which the massive material 122 is locked on the inner surface of each cylinder 46, the end face area (the pushing area) of each piston 48, the lowering speed and stroke of the piston 48, and the like.
  • the disc 44 and the pistons 48 elevate after the above-described series of operations end. Accordingly, one of the cylinder rows is pulled out from the formation layer 120, and the other cylinder row is separated from the containers 12. The disc 44 is rotated through 180° and then waits for the subsequent packing process.
  • the flavor source hopper 100 is provided with a tubular side wall 102, a ring-like tray 104 arranged inside the side wall 102, a rotational driving unit 106 arranged inside the tray 104 to rotationally drive the tray 104, and a plurality of leveling plates 108.
  • the flavor source hopper 100 is provided with a ring-like chamber 117 bounded by the side wall 102, the tray 104, and the rotational driving unit 106.
  • FIG. 7 depicts a state where the formation layer 120 is not present.
  • Each of the leveling plates 108 is arranged at a position where the leveling plate 108 does not contact the tray 104, and extends along a rotating direction of the tray 104, that is, a flowing direction of the flavor source, or at a predetermined angle to the flowing direction of the flavor source.
  • the leveling plate 108 is fixed to one or two posts 110.
  • Each of the posts 110 is supported by a top cover (not illustrated) of the flavor source hopper 100, and protrudes from the top cover toward the tray 104 to the extent that the post 110 does not contact the formation layer 120.
  • the top cover is provided with a level sensor 112 configured to detect the layer thickness of the formation layer 120, an inlet port 114 for the flavor source, and an insertion port 116 for each cylinder 46; the level sensor 112, the inlet port 114, and the insertion port 116 are arranged at respective positions depicted by dashed lines in FIG. 7.
  • the flavor source hopper 100 uses the rotational driving unit 106 to rotationally move the tray 104 in the direction of an arrow in FIG. 3, in the chamber 117, thus allowing the flavor source to flow in that direction to form a fluid formation layer 120 (a layer forming step).
  • the leveling plates 108 equalize the layer thickness of the formation layer 120, while smoothing a surface of the formation layer 120.
  • the layer thickness of the formation layer 120 into which no cylinder 46 has been inserted is equalized by the leveling plate 108 closest to the insertion port 116 on an upstream side thereof as viewed in the flowing direction of the flavor source in the chamber 117 (a first leveling process).
  • the leveling plates 108 on a downstream side of the insertion port 116 as viewed in the flowing direction of the flavor source in the chamber 117 collapse and remove a depression formed in the formation layer 120 by pullout of the corresponding cylinder 46 from the formation layer 120, equalizing the layer thickness of the formation layer 120 (a second leveling process).
  • the flavor source hopper 100 is provided with a stirring bar 118.
  • the stirring bar 118 is provided at a position of approximately 90° with respect to the insertion port 116 around the rotational driving unit 106 in the flowing direction of the flavor source.
  • the stirring bar 118 has a bent shape and is supported by the two posts 110 provided in the vicinity thereof. Specifically, the stirring bar 118 is connected to one of the posts 110 in an upper side of the formation layer 120 and extends from the post 110 toward a radially inner side of the chamber 117 and along an inclined surface 106a forming an outer circumferential portion of the rotational driving unit 106.
  • the stirring bar 118 extends toward a radially outer side of the chamber 117 while remaining proximate to the tray 104 rather than contacting the tray 104, and then extends in such a manner as to stand up along the side wall 102.
  • the stirring bar 118 further extends toward the radially inner side of the chamber 117 in the upper side of the formation layer 120, and is connected to the other post 110 in the upper side of the formation layer 120. In other words, the stirring bar 118 extends over the entire width of the chamber 117 in the radial direction.
  • a depression is formed by pullout of each cylinder 46 from the formation layer 120

Therefore, a formation layer 120 with a uniform flavor source distribution state can be more reliably formed to allow equalization of the distribution state of the flavor source in the mass 122 trapped by insertion of the cylinder 46.

When each pusher 56 passes through the corresponding guide hole 58a, the flavor source attached to the pusher 56 as a result of the last compressing processing is removed from the pusher 56 at an opening edge of the guide hole 58a. Consequently, the flavor source attached to the pusher 56 is prevented from being attached to the outer surface of the container 12 and the like.
