  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. The present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. In the description of the drawings, the same elements will be denoted by the same reference symbols, without redundant description. Also, the dimensional proportions of the drawings are exaggerated for the convenience of the description, and may differ from the actual proportions.

  FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing steps of a method of manufacturing a filling for an electronic cigarette cartridge in an embodiment to which the present invention is applied.

  In this method, a drying / grinding step (M1) of drying and grinding non-tobacco plants and the like which is the source of aroma, a weighing step (M2) of weighing the non-tobacco plants and the like, and a dry step of the weighed non-tobacco plants and the like Dry mixing step (M3) for mixing, wet mixing step 1 (M4) for wet mixing with addition of aerosol former, etc., wet mixing step 2 (M5) for wet mixing with water to make a slurry, sheeted slurry obtained Sheet forming step (M6), sheet forming step (M7) for forming the sheeted slurry into a desired shape, drying step (M8) for drying the obtained formed sheet, and further desired formed sheet There is a filling material forming step (M9) for forming into a shape.

  Each process is demonstrated in order. Although the above steps have been described for the purpose of the description of the invention, it also includes a step of simultaneously performing two or more steps. In addition, the detail of the non-tobacco plant used as a raw material is mentioned later.

  First, the drying / grinding step (M1) is desired in order to make the use site (for example, leaves, seeds, dried fruits, stems, barks, roots, etc.) of the non-tobacco plant which is the raw material into the filling of the electronic cigarette cartridge. Process into crushed material. At that time, it is also preferable to adjust the amount of water, which is convenient for absorbing or supporting the aerosol former, water and other components to be added later.

  In the weighing step (M2), a non-tobacco plant as a raw material is weighed to a desired amount.

  The dry mixing step (M3) is a step of mixing the weighed non-tobacco plants dry.

  In the wet mixing step 1 (M4), an aerosol former and other liquid components are added to promote their mixing.

  In the wet mixing step 2 (M5), a liquid component is further added to form a slurry.

  In the sheet forming step (M6), the aqueous slurry is separated into a soluble portion and a fibrous portion, and a sheet is formed from the fibrous portion using, for example, a paper making process. In the papermaking process, for example, a ladder or a net (a wire mesh such as a Ford linear wire) or the like is used (hereinafter referred to as a ladder, but the same applies when using other nets etc). In this paper-making process, the aqueous slurry is uniformly dropped from above the dumplings or dumped into the aqueous slurry and similarly scraped off in a paper-like manner, so that the remaining portion on the dumplings becomes a sheet of fibrous parts.

In the sheet forming step (M7), a method of using a press roller or the like is employed when forming the sheet made in the sheet forming step to a desired thickness or the like.
The drying step (M8) is a step of adjusting the formed sheet to a desired water content or the like.

  The filler molding step (M9) is a step of forming the filler obtained as described above.

  Hereinafter, although the manufacturing process at the time of using black tea etc. is demonstrated in detail, it is needless to say that these are not limited to black tea etc. and can be applied to the tobacco plant and non-tobacco plant as described in this specification.

The tea leaves are dried at 70 ° C. and crushed. After drying and grinding, the water content was 2% by mass. Similarly, dry and grind leguminous licorice, lotus leaf, ginseng. The water content is also 2% by mass.
The drying temperature is preferably 60 ° C. or more and 80 ° C. or less. Within this range, it is easy to reach the desired water content while avoiding the dissipation of the required flavor components. When the temperature is 65 ° C. or more, the desired amount of water can be more easily reached, and when the temperature is 75 ° C. or less, dissipation of the necessary flavor components can be further prevented.
The water content after drying and crushing is preferably 5% by mass or less. In this way, slurrying in the later steps is facilitated. It is further preferable that it is 3 mass% or less. Further, when the water content is preferably 0.1% by mass or more, it is possible to maintain a state of being compatible with water and the like.

As described above, each dried and crushed one was passed through an 80-mesh sieve.
Dry ground product of black tea leaves 100 parts by weight Dry ground product of leguminous licorice 20 parts by weight Dry ground product of lotus leaf 10 parts by mass Dry ground product of Ginseng 5 parts by mass into a mixer and dry mix for 5 minutes went.

In the above dry mixture,
Polypropylene glycol 30 parts by mass Glycerin 20 parts by mass Carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt 5 parts by mass Menthol 3 parts by mass Ethanol 3 parts by mass Water 20 parts by mass were charged into the mixer and wet mixed for 5 minutes.

Furthermore, an additional 180 parts by mass of water was added, and wet mixing was continued for 10 minutes.

  Here, the addition of a lower monoalcohol such as ethanol can improve the mixing of polypropylene glycol and glycerin with the above-mentioned dried and ground product, which is one of the preferred embodiments. That is, it is preferable to have a step of adding a lower monoalcohol, preferably ethanol, to form a slurry when using a dry pulverized material of tobacco plants or non-tobacco plants to make a slurry.

  The addition amount of the lower monoalcohol is preferably 0.1 parts by mass or more and 10 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the dry pulverized material. When the amount is 0.1 parts by mass or more, mixing effect is improved, and when the amount is 10 parts by mass or less, the remaining of the lower monoalcohol can be suppressed. More preferably, it is 0.5 parts by mass or more and 5 parts by mass or less, and the effect of improving mixing and suppression of residual low monoalcohol can be preferably achieved at the same time.

  Water is initially charged to form a mixture, because dispersion of the mixture can be advanced in advance and then diluted and mixed with additional water to obtain a slurry with good dispersibility. It is also preferable to divide the water into multiple times. In the case of dividing and feeding in multiple times, it is preferable to reduce the amount of water previously introduced and to increase the amount of water introduced later. In this way, the degree of improvement in dispersibility when water is previously injected is high, and when the amount of water introduced later is increased, a uniform slurry is obtained.

  In the step of forming a sheet from the slurry obtained as described above, the above-mentioned slurry was charged into a frame provided with an appropriate forceps to produce a water-containing sheet. At this time, in the present embodiment, assuming that the water content of the slurry is about 100, the water content of the water-containing sheet is about 95.

  Subsequently, the above-mentioned water-containing sheet is formed three times by passing it through a press roll having a predetermined clearance, and thereafter, 7 parts by mass of water corresponding to 100 parts by mass is contained in the water-containing sheet passed three times. It was added to the sheet and further passed through the above-mentioned press roll five times. Preferably, the amount is 2 parts by mass or more and 15 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the water-containing sheet. As described above, when forming the water-containing sheet a plurality of times, adding water on the way has an effect of making it easy to arrange the water contained in the water-containing sheet within a certain range, and adjusting the conditions of the subsequent drying step. In addition to the effect of being able to do the same, it is also possible to make the quality of the final product uniform. In this step, the water content of the shaped water-containing sheet is less than 50% by mass, and an aerosol former may be added in this step, if necessary.

  Furthermore, the shaped water-containing sheet obtained as described above was dried for 300 minutes in an environment of 35 ° C. to prepare a shaped sheet for electronic tobacco filling having a water content of 20% by mass. The drying temperature is preferably less than 50 ° C. in order to maintain the flavor. More preferably, it is less than 45 ° C, and more preferably less than 40 ° C. The thickness of the sheet is appropriately adjusted, but in this example, the thickness is 0.5 mm.

  In the charge molding step (M9), the dried sheet is easy to be loaded into the cartridge, and when the electronic cigarette is used, the generated aerosol is shaped so as to be easily sucked. For example, it has a plate shape such as a square, a rectangle, or a rhombus, or a strip, a strip, a rod, or a fiber (straight, wave, etc. including a long side about 2 to 20 times the short side). And the like, or irregular flakes. The size may be a substantially constant size or a random size. However, in any case, it is preferable to set the maximum length portion to about 1 to 20 mm. This is because if the maximum length portion is too large, it may be too large at the time of filling the cartridge and handling may be troublesome.

  Although non-tobacco plants will be cut in the molding process, the non-tobacco plant material and the aerosol former are sufficiently mixed in the wet mixing process 1 (M4) and the wet mixing process 2 (M5). Also in each case, at least a part of the fiber surface is in a state of being covered by the aerosol former.

  In addition, the shape of the filling may be, for example, in the form of powder, granules, pellets, strands, porous and the like. In order to make it porous, it can be formed, for example, by piercing the dried sheet with a plurality of needles several times (other methods may be used).

  Further, it may be solidified in a block shape, or may be in the form of a paste by adding a little water or oil.

  Thereafter, the formed filling is filled into a cartridge to be provided as a cartridge using a non-tobacco plant used for an electronic cigarette body.

In the same manner as in [Example 1],
Dry ground product of black tea leaves 100 parts by weight Dry ground product of leguminous licorice 20 parts by weight Dry ground product of lotus leaf 10 parts by mass Ginseng extract granules 1 part by mass was added to a mixer and dry mixed for 5 minutes .
In the same manner as in Example 1 below, a cartridge filling for an electronic cigarette was prepared.

In the same manner as in [Example 1],
Dry ground product of black leaf tea 100 parts by weight Dry ground product of leguminous licorice 20 parts by weight Dry ground product of lotus leaf 10 parts by weight was charged into a mixer and dry mixing was performed for 5 minutes.

In the above dry mixture,
Polypropylene glycol 30 parts by mass Glycerin 20 parts by mass Carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt 5 parts by mass Menthol 3 parts by mass Ethanol 3 parts by mass Ginseng extract Concentrate 1 part by mass Water 20 parts by mass was wet mixed for 5 minutes .

In particular, when it is added in dry mixing step (M3), wet mixing step 1 (M4) in which wet mixing is performed by adding an aerosol former, etc., and water is further added in wet mixing step 2 (M5) in which It is preferable because dispersion in the filler is good. More preferably, it is preferable to add it in the dry mixing step (M3) if the extract is powder or granules, etc. If it is a liquid, a wet starch, a solution etc, an aerosol former etc. If it is M4), a better dispersibility can be ensured.

  Next, an example of use of the manufactured packing for electronic cigarette cartridge will be described.

2 is an external view of the electronic cigarette cartridge, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the electronic cigarette cartridge (cross section A-A in FIG. 2), FIG. 4 is a partial perspective view of the electronic cigarette cartridge, and FIG. It is an example of use of an electronic cigarette cartridge.

  The electronic cigarette cartridge 100 has, for example, a rod-like or cylindrical appearance as shown in FIG.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the interior of the electronic cigarette cartridge 100 has an aerosol forming substrate 110, a support member 120, and a mouthpiece 140 arranged in this order in the X direction. And these are packaged by the packaging member 150.

  The aerosol forming substrate 110 is a filler for an electronic cigarette cartridge manufactured by the manufacturing method according to the present embodiment. The aerosol forming substrate 110 generates an aerosol containing an aromatic component of a plant which is the source of the filling upon heating.

  The packing produced as the aerosol forming substrate 110 is, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, in the case of a strip or rod shape, the longitudinal direction of the shape of the packing 111 at the time of filling is the cartridge longitudinal direction Fill along (in the X direction). This makes it easy for the flow of air flow to be sucked well. FIG. 4 is a view from the end of the electronic cigarette cartridge on the side where the aerosol-forming substrate 110 is located, and is partially transparent so that the filling 111 inside the cartridge can be seen. Of course, other than this, for example, in the case of a flat filler having a substantially constant shape, it can be rolled and packed, so that handling is easy.

  The packing of flakes, flakes and strands makes it easy to finely adjust the amount (filling amount) to be packed into the cartridge, and to adjust the flow of air when sucked by the packing amount.

  The porous packing is porous when packed into a cartridge, and thus improves the flow of air when sucked.

  The fibrous filler, like the rod-like filler, improves the flow of suctioned air by packing the longitudinal direction of the fibers along the longitudinal direction of the cartridge.

  Packing of powder, granules, pellets can be easily packed by dropping into the cartridge opening.

  The block-like packing has good thermal conductivity and is easy to extract an aromatic component. Also, the size of the block may be increased to facilitate storage. In that case, at the time of filling, it is possible to reshape the block into a small block, a rod-like shape, a granular shape or the like.

  The paste-like filling can be squeezed into the cartridge for filling. For this reason, for example, it is possible to form the cartridge by applying the paste to the expanded packaging member 150 and rolling up the packaging member 150 together.

  The support member 120 supports the aerosol forming substrate 110. The support member 120 is disposed adjacent to the aerosol forming substrate 110, and has through holes or notches in the air flow in the center or side to move the aerosol generated from the aerosol forming substrate 110 toward the mouthpiece. It can flow.

  The mouthpiece 140 is disposed adjacent to the cooling member 130 and at the other end of the electronic cigarette cartridge 100. The mouthpiece 140 may include, for example, a cellulose acetate filter as a filter for removing particulates. The aroma components passed through the filter of the mouthpiece 140 are aspirated by the user.

  In the inside of the electronic cigarette cartridge 100, for example, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), an aerosol forming substrate 110, a support member 120, a cooling member 130 and a mouthpiece 140 are arranged in this order in the X direction. It is also good. That is, the cooling member 130 is added to the configuration of FIG. 3 (a). The cooling member 130 cools the aerosol that has passed through the support member 120.

  When the presence or absence of the cooling member 130 is compared, the configuration of FIG. 3A in which the cooling member 130 is not inserted has better air permeability, and the generated aromatic component can be more easily sucked. On the other hand, in the configuration of FIG. 3 (b) containing the cooling member 130, although the generated aerosol can be cooled, since the cooling member 130 does not become air resistance, suction is performed more than in the case of FIG. 3 (a). Hateful.

  The electronic cigarette cartridge 100 is mounted to the electronic cigarette body 200 as shown in FIG. Although FIG. 5 illustrates the electronic cigarette cartridge 100 having the configuration of FIG. 3A as an example, the same applies to the electronic cigarette cartridge 100 having the configuration of FIG. 3B.

  The electronic cigarette body 200 is provided with an insertion portion 210 for inserting the electronic cigarette cartridge 100. A heating element 211 is provided at the bottom in the insertion portion 210. The heating element 211 has a needle shape and pierces the aerosol forming substrate 110 by piercing the electronic cigarette cartridge 100 into the insertion portion 210. The heating element 211 generates heat directly or indirectly by the power supplied from the battery provided in the main body (not shown). The heat of the heating element 211 heats the aerosol forming substrate 110 to generate an aerosol containing a fragrant component. When the user inhales from the mouthpiece side, the aromatic component will reach the user.

  Although one heating element 211 is shown in the drawing, a plurality of heating elements may be provided, and the heating element 211 is not such a needle-like one, and the entire bottom surface or side surface in the insertion portion 210 generates heat. It may be in such a form.

According to the embodiment described above, the following effects can be obtained.
Non-tobacco plants can be used to easily produce fillings for electronic cigarette cartridges. In particular, since non-tobacco plants are mixed with water to prepare an aqueous slurry, component extraction is not necessary as in the case of aroma liquid used as a liquid fragrance of natural origin, so it is easy for electronic cigarette cartridges Can produce fillings.

  In addition, since fillings using non-tobacco plants are filled in electronic cigarette cartridges, the aroma and taste of various non-tobacco plants can be easily enjoyed simply by replacing the cartridge attached to the electronic cigarette body. .

  Although the embodiments to which the present invention is applied have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. The present invention can be variously modified based on the configuration described in the claims, and is also within the scope of the present invention.
