Description

Opis Description

[0001] Predmetni pronalazak se odnosi na uređaj za inhaliranje supstance, na primer na uređaju za pušenje. [0001] The present invention relates to a device for inhaling a substance, for example on a smoking device.

[0002] Dokumenti US 2003/079743, EP 1917992 i US 2018/146711 stavljaju na uvid javnosti uređaje za inhaliranje supstance. [0002] Documents US 2003/079743, EP 1917992 and US 2018/146711 disclose devices for inhaling substances.

[0003] U današnje vreme, uređaji za inhaliranje supstance, na primer, uređaji za pušenje i posebno elektronske cigarete, postižu sve veći uspeh od kada su pušači sve više svesni koliko pušenje oštećuje njihovo zdravlje. Elektronska cigareta (ili e-cigareta), koja se ponekad naziva vejp (eng. vape) ili lični vaporizer, elektromehanički je ili elektronski uređaj koji stvara aerosol namenjen za inhalaciju. Ovaj aerosol ili „para” ili čak „veštački dim” vizuelno podseća na dim koji nastaje sagorevanjem duvana. Ova para (aerosol) može biti aromatizovana (aroma duvana, voća, itd.) ili ne, i može, ali ne mora da sadrži nikotin. [0003] Nowadays, devices for inhaling substances, for example, smoking devices and especially electronic cigarettes, are gaining more and more success since smokers are more and more aware of how smoking damages their health. An electronic cigarette (or e-cigarette), sometimes called a vape or a personal vaporizer, is an electromechanical or electronic device that creates an aerosol intended for inhalation. This aerosol or "vapor" or even "artificial smoke" visually resembles the smoke produced by burning tobacco. This vapor (aerosol) may or may not be flavored (tobacco, fruit, etc.) and may or may not contain nicotine.

[0004] Trenutno, tehnologija koja se uglavnom komercijalizuje za elektronske cigarete je tehnologija isparavanja (radnja raspršivanja tečnosti u sitne kapljice) neke tečnosti korišćenjem grejnog otpornika. Konkretno, princip jedne takve elektronske cigarete se sastoji u proizvodnji jednog aerosola koji onda neki korisnik može da inhalira. Tehnika se sastoji od zagrevanja neke tečnosti (poznate kao tečnost za raspršivanje) preko grejnog otpornika: korisnik mora da aktivira zagrevanje otpornika, tečnost se zagreva, isparava i proizvodi aerosol koji korisnik zatim može inhalirati. Aktiviranje zagrevanja otpornika može biti ili ručno (na primer, pomoću nekog prekidača), ili automatsko (na primer, pomoću elektromehaničkog uređaja koji detektuje udah korisnika i zatim aktivira otpornik). [0004] Currently, the technology that is mainly commercialized for electronic cigarettes is the technology of vaporization (the act of dispersing the liquid into tiny droplets) of some liquid using a heating resistor. Specifically, the principle of such an electronic cigarette consists in the production of an aerosol that can then be inhaled by a user. The technique consists of heating some liquid (known as spray liquid) through a heating resistor: the user has to activate the heating of the resistor, the liquid heats up, evaporates and produces an aerosol that the user can then inhale. Activation of resistor heating can be either manual (for example, using a switch), or automatic (for example, using an electromechanical device that detects the user's breath and then activates the resistor).

[0005] Uređaj za inhaliranje neke supstance, na primer, jedna elektronska cigareta, zasnovan na zagrevanju neke tečnosti, generalno je sačinjen od sledećih glavnih elemenata: jedne baterije (koja napaja raspršivač), jedne prskalice (koja sadrži otpornik koji će pretvoriti tečnost u paru), jednog rezervoara (sud sa tečnošću) i nastavak za usta (usnik) koji vam omogućava da udahnete/inhalirate paru (aerosol) koja izlazi iz raspršivača. [0005] A device for inhaling a substance, for example, an electronic cigarette, based on the heating of a liquid, is generally made up of the following main elements: one battery (which powers the atomizer), one atomizer (which contains a resistor that will turn the liquid into vapor), one tank (a vessel with liquid) and a mouthpiece (mouthpiece) that allows you to inhale/inhale the vapor (aerosol) coming out of the atomizer.

[0006] Mogu biti prisutni i drugi dodatni elementi kao što su, na primer, elektronski modul za napajanje, menjač napona, regulator temperature, brojač za broj udisaja, sredstva komunikacije sa elektronskim uređajem kao što je, na primer, računar ili pametni telefon ili bilo koji drugi uređaj kao što je uređaj za punjenje. [0006] Other additional elements may be present, such as, for example, an electronic power supply module, a voltage converter, a temperature regulator, a counter for the number of breaths, means of communication with an electronic device such as, for example, a computer or a smartphone or any other device such as a charging device.

[0007] Suštinski element savremenih uređaja za inhaliranje supstance, na primer, aktuelnih elektronskih cigareta, zasnovanih na zagrevanju tečnosti je raspršivač koji sadrži otpornik koji je deo koji ima funkciju zagrevanja, na visokim temperaturama od najmanje 190°C (uglavnom između 188 i 290°C), tečnosti kako bi se stvorio aerosol. Ovi raspršivači generalno sadrže otpornu žicu koja okružuje fitilj koji, na primer, može biti napravljen od vlakna silicijum dioksida ili pamuka i/ili koja je okružena sintetičkim vlaknom. Funkcija fitilja ili sintetičkog vlakna je da skladišti tečnost i da je kapilarno dovede do otpornika tako da se on zagreje i isparava. Kada su raspršivač i punjenje neodvojivi i čine jednu komponentu, ovo punjenje se naziva „kartomizer” ili punjenje sa integrisanim raspršivačem. Kartomizeri snabdevaju raspršivač tečnošću preko sintetičkog vlakna. Kada se punjenje isporučuje pomoću sistema fitilja, govorimo o „kliromizeru”. Trenutno, raspršivači koji se najviše koriste za grejanje su potrošni materijal čiji vek trajanja značajno varira u zavisnosti od modela, upotrebe i vrste tečnosti. [0007] An essential element of modern devices for inhaling a substance, for example, current electronic cigarettes, based on liquid heating is a nebulizer containing a resistor which is a part that has the function of heating, at high temperatures of at least 190°C (generally between 188 and 290°C), the liquid in order to create an aerosol. These atomizers generally contain a resistance wire surrounding a wick which, for example, may be made of silica fiber or cotton and/or which is surrounded by a synthetic fiber. The function of the wick or synthetic fiber is to store the liquid and capillary it to the resistor so that it heats up and evaporates. When the atomizer and refill are inseparable and form a single component, this refill is called a "cartomizer" or refill with an integrated atomizer. Cartomizers supply the nebulizer with liquid through a synthetic fiber. When the charge is delivered using a wick system, we speak of a "clearomizer". Currently, the most widely used atomizers for heating are consumables whose lifespan varies significantly depending on the model, use and type of liquid.

[0008] Klasično, tečnost koja se zagreva sadrži sledeće komponente: [0008] Classically, the liquid to be heated contains the following components:

• jednu mešavinu na bazi propilen glikola (PG) i/ili biljnog glicerina (takođe, zvanog glicerol, VG), eventualno dopunjenu kombinacijom etanola i/ili vode (<5%); • a mixture based on propylene glycol (PG) and/or vegetable glycerin (also called glycerol, VG), possibly supplemented with a combination of ethanol and/or water (<5%);

• arome, uglavnom iz prehrambene industrije; i na kraju, • aromas, mainly from the food industry; and finally,

• nikotin u promenljivim količinama, uglavnom od 0 do 3,6% (tj.0 do 36 mg/ml). • nicotine in variable amounts, mostly from 0 to 3.6% (ie 0 to 36 mg/ml).

[0009] Dok su tečnosti na bazi PG i/ili VG daleko najčešći, ipak postoji nekoliko alternativa. Na primer, propan-1,3-diol ili polietilen glikol u svom PEG400 obliku. [0009] While PG and/or VG based liquids are by far the most common, there are still a few alternatives. For example, propane-1,3-diol or polyethylene glycol in its PEG400 form.

[0010] Nažalost, što se tiče uređaja za inhaliranje neke supstance, na primer, uređaja za pušenje i posebno elektronskih cigareta, koji se zasnivaju na zagrevanju tečnosti kako bi se stvorio neki aerosol, čak i ako se pare (aerosoli) koje se stvaraju smatraju za sada manje štetne i manje toksične za telo od duvanskog dima, nedavne studije pokazuju da ove pare nisu stvarno i potpuno bezopasne za ljudsko telo. Studije su čak otkrile prisustvo kancerogenih molekula u značajnim količinama kao što su metanal, akrolein ili etanal u parama (aerosolima) koje proizvode elektronske cigarete, ali i u telu korisnika takvih uređaja za pušenje. [0010] Unfortunately, with regard to devices for inhaling a substance, for example, smoking devices and especially electronic cigarettes, which are based on heating a liquid to create an aerosol, even if the vapors (aerosols) that are created are currently considered less harmful and less toxic to the body than tobacco smoke, recent studies show that these vapors are not really and completely harmless to the human body. Studies have even revealed the presence of carcinogenic molecules in significant quantities such as methanal, acrolein or ethanal in the vapors (aerosols) produced by electronic cigarettes, but also in the body of users of such smoking devices.

[0011] Do danas, uređaji za inhaliranje neke supstance, posebno elektronske cigarete, zasnovani na zagrevanju neke tečnosti koja sadrži aromatične supstance, nisu oslobođeni toksičnih proizvoda, posebno rastvarača i isparljivih organskih jedinjenja (COV) ili potencijalno kancerogenih toksičnih jedinjenja, kao što je akrilonitril, akrolein, propilen oksid i akrilamid. S druge strane, propilen glikol i glicerin, koji se gotovo sistematski koriste za održavanje proizvoda uređaja za inhaliranje neke supstance, posebno elektronskih cigareta, u tečnom obliku, smatraju se bezbednim na sobnoj temperaturi, ali kada se zagreju, proizvode potencijalno kancerogena toksična jedinjenja koje korisnik udahne/inhalira. [0011] To date, devices for inhaling a substance, especially electronic cigarettes, based on the heating of a liquid containing aromatic substances, are not free from toxic products, especially solvents and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or potentially carcinogenic toxic compounds, such as acrylonitrile, acrolein, propylene oxide and acrylamide. On the other hand, propylene glycol and glycerin, which are almost systematically used to keep inhaler products, especially electronic cigarettes, in liquid form, are considered safe at room temperature, but when heated, produce potentially carcinogenic toxic compounds that are inhaled/inhaled by the user.

[0012] Generalno, uređaji za inhaliranje neke supstance, na primer, uređaji za pušenje i posebno elektronske cigarete, koji koriste zagrevanje tečnosti da bi stvorili aerosol, zahtevaju prisustvo baterije, pre svega za napajanje strujom grejnog elementa (obično jednog otpornika). Međutim, svaka baterija ima ograničenu autonomiju, tim više kada se smanji njena veličina i težina da bi se mogla integrisati u uređaje za inhaliranje neke supstance, na primer, u uređaje za pušenje. [0012] Generally, devices for inhaling a substance, for example, smoking devices and especially electronic cigarettes, which use the heating of a liquid to create an aerosol, require the presence of a battery, primarily to power the heating element (usually a resistor). However, each battery has a limited autonomy, even more so when its size and weight are reduced to be able to be integrated into devices for inhaling a substance, for example, smoking devices.

[0013] Drugi tipovi uređaja za inhaliranje neke supstance, na primer, elektronske cigarete, u kojima se ne vrši zagrevanje da bi se dobio aerosol, poznati su u trenutnom stanju tehnike. Uopšteno govoreći, uređaji za inhaliranje neke supstance, na primer uređaji za pušenje, ovog tipa obuhvataju raspršivač tipa brumizatora ili nebulatora i patronu sa komprimovanim vazduhom ili komoru u kojoj se nalazi komprimovani vazduh. Ako su takvi uređaji za inhaliranje neke supstance, na primer, uređaji za pušenje funkcionalni, oni ipak imaju određene nedostatke, a glavni je da kada se punjenje sa komprimovanim vazduhom isprazni, uređaj za inhaliranje supstance više ne radi dok se ovo punjenje ne zameni. [0013] Other types of devices for inhaling a substance, for example, electronic cigarettes, in which no heating is performed to produce an aerosol, are known in the current state of the art. In general, devices for inhaling a substance, for example smoking devices, of this type include a nebulizer or nebulizer type atomizer and a compressed air cartridge or chamber containing compressed air. If such devices for inhaling a substance, for example, smoking devices, are functional, they still have certain disadvantages, the main one being that when the charge with compressed air is empty, the device for inhaling the substance no longer works until this charge is replaced.

[0014] Iz svega ovoga proizilazi da, ako korisnik nema izvor energije za punjenje baterije i/ili rezervno punjenje sa komprimovanim vazduhom, uređaji za inhaliranje neke supstance, na primer, za uređaje za pušenje, su trenutno nefunkcionalni, što se može pokazati kao posebno ograničavajuće za korisnika. [0014] It follows from all this that, if the user does not have a power source for charging the battery and/or back-up charging with compressed air, devices for inhaling a substance, for example, for smoking devices, are currently non-functional, which can prove to be particularly limiting for the user.

[0015] Stoga postoji stvarna potreba da se obezbedi uređaj za inhaliranje neke supstance, na primer uređaj za pušenje, optimizovan da barem delimično reši prethodno navedene probleme, eventualno i poželjno minimiziranjem ili čak eliminisanjem problema koji se odnosi na prisustvo kancerogenih i toksičnih molekula stvorenih, između ostalog, zagrevanjem na visokim temperaturama. [0015] Therefore, there is a real need to provide a device for inhaling a substance, for example a smoking device, optimized to at least partially solve the aforementioned problems, possibly and preferably by minimizing or even eliminating the problem related to the presence of carcinogenic and toxic molecules created, among other things, by heating at high temperatures.

[0016] Da bi se rešili ovi problemi, predviđen je, prema pronalasku, uređaj za inhaliranje neke supstance, na primer uređaj za pušenje, koji sadrži: [0016] In order to solve these problems, according to the invention, a device for inhaling a substance, for example a smoking device, is provided, which contains:

• atomizer (raspršivač), • atomizer (sprayer),

• sklop koji sadrži navedeni raspršivač i prvi rezervoar koji sadrži najmanje jednu supstancu koja se inhalira u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru, pri čemu je navedeni raspršivač u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa navedenim prvim rezervoarom, • an assembly containing said nebulizer and a first reservoir containing at least one substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in solution, wherein said nebulizer is in fluid communication with said first reservoir,

• drugi rezervoar postavljen da sadrži gas pod pritiskom i koji je u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa navedenim sklopom, • another tank set to contain gas under pressure and which is in fluid communication with said assembly,

• usnik u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa izlazom navedenog raspršivača, i • a mouthpiece in fluid communication with the output of the aforementioned sprayer, i

• okidač koji je postavljen za oslobađanje neke količine navedenog gasa iz navedenog drugog rezervoara i namenjen za navedeni sklop, • a trigger which is set to release some amount of said gas from said second tank and intended for said assembly,

• pumpu postavljenu da usisava vazduh iz okoline, ubrizgava ga i komprimuje u navedeni drugi rezervoar, • a pump set to suck in air from the environment, inject it and compress it into the specified second tank,

naznačen time što je navedeni raspršivač hladni raspršivač i gde je navedena pumpa ručna pumpa. wherein said sprayer is a cold sprayer and wherein said pump is a hand pump.

[0017] Pošto je takav jedan uređaj za inhaliranje neke supstance, na primer, neki uređaj za pušenje, prema pronalasku opremljen ručnom pumpom koja je postavljena da usisava vazduh iz okoline, ubrizgava ga i kompresuje u navedeni drugi rezervoar, operater može da obezbedi u svakom trenutku punjenje drugog rezervoara i da u njemu sabije vazduh uzet iz okolnog okruženja (ambijentalni vazduh). Prema tome, uređaj za inhaliranje neke supstance, na primer, neki uređaj za pušenje, prema pronalasku može biti funkcionalan u bilo kom trenutku i ne zahteva zamensko punjenje. [0017] Since such a device for inhaling a substance, for example, a smoking device, according to the invention is equipped with a hand pump that is set to suck air from the environment, inject it and compress it into the said second tank, the operator can ensure at any time the filling of the second tank and compress the air taken from the surrounding environment (ambient air). Therefore, a device for inhaling a substance, for example, a smoking device, according to the invention can be functional at any time and does not require replacement filling.

[0018] Poželjno, prema pronalasku, uređaj za inhalaciju neke supstance je bez baterija. Odsustvo baterije omogućava smanjenje težine uređaja za inhaliranje neke supstance prema pronalasku, ali isto tako čini ovu drugu više ekološku, jer baterije dovode do ozbiljnjih problema zagađenja tokom njihove proizvodnje, ali i za njihovu reciklažu. [0018] Preferably, according to the invention, the device for inhaling a substance is battery-free. The absence of a battery makes it possible to reduce the weight of the device for inhaling a substance according to the invention, but also makes the latter more ecological, because batteries lead to serious pollution problems during their production, but also for their recycling.

[0019] Poželjno, prema jednom rešenju prema pronalasku, ulaz navedenog prvog rezervoara je u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa navedenim drugim rezervoarom, posebno u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa izlazom navedenog drugog rezervoara. Prema ovom načinu tehničkog rešenja, prvi rezervoar i drugi rezervoar su postavljeni u nizu (seriji). [0019] Preferably, according to one solution according to the invention, the inlet of said first tank is in fluid communication with said second tank, especially in fluid communication with the outlet of said second tank. According to this method of technical solution, the first tank and the second tank are placed in series.

[0020] Povoljno, prema pronalasku, navedena najmanje jedna supstanca koja se inhalira u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru sadržanom u navedenom prvom rezervoaru nije prisutna u njoj pod pritiskom. Prema pronalasku, supstanca koja se inhalira u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru sadržanom u prvom rezervoaru je uvedena pomoću gasa koji se oslobađa na početku iz drugog rezervoara, ali nije pod pritiskom. Prema pronalasku, stoga postoji uvlačenje supstance koju treba inhalirati u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru, a ne postavljanje pod pritiskom supstance koja se inhalira u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru u rezervoaru (odeljku) tako da se može iz njega izbaciti. [0020] Advantageously, according to the invention, said at least one substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in solution contained in said first reservoir is not present therein under pressure. According to the invention, the substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in a solution contained in the first reservoir is introduced by means of a gas released initially from the second reservoir, but not under pressure. According to the invention, there is therefore the drawing in of the substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in solution, rather than pressurizing the substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in solution in a reservoir (compartment) so that it can be ejected from it.

[0021] Prema pronalasku, poželjno je da, supstanca koja se inhalira u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru barbotira u gasu oslobođenom iz navedenog drugog rezervoara, uređaj za inhalaciju neke supstance prema pronalasku tada radi kao barboter. [0021] According to the invention, it is preferable that, the substance that is inhaled in liquid form or in solution bubbles in the gas released from the mentioned second tank, the device for inhaling a substance according to the invention then works as a bubbler.

[0022] Povoljno, prema jednom načinu tehničkog rešenja prema pronalasku, prvi ulaz navedenog hladnog raspršivača je u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa navedenim drugim rezervoarom, a drugi ulaz navedenog hladnog raspršivača je u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa navedenim prvim rezervoarom. Prema ovom načinu tehničkog rešenja, gas pod pritiskom iz drugog rezervoara ulazi u hladni raspršivač kroz prvi ulaz u raspršivač (ulaz za gas) i prolazi kroz hladni raspršivač, što omogućava, na primer, putem Venturijeve cevi, da supstanca za inhalaciju u tečnom obliku ili rastvoru koji se nalazi u prvom rezervoaru ulazi u hladni raspršivač kroz drugi ulaz (ulaz za inhalant) koji je u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa prvim rezervoarom koji sadrži supstancu koja se inhalira u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru. [0022] Advantageously, according to one method of the technical solution according to the invention, the first inlet of said cold atomizer is in fluid communication with said second tank, and the second inlet of said cold atomizer is in fluid communication with said first tank. According to this method of the technical solution, pressurized gas from the second tank enters the cold nebulizer through the first inlet to the nebulizer (gas inlet) and passes through the cold nebulizer, which allows, for example, via a Venturi tube, that the inhalation substance in liquid form or solution located in the first tank enters the cold nebulizer through the second inlet (inhalant inlet) which is in fluid communication with the first tank containing the substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in solution.

[0023] Poželjno, prema jednom načinu tehničkog rešenja prema pronalasku, navedeni hladni raspršivač se nalazi barem delimično u navedenom prvom rezervoaru. [0023] Preferably, according to one method of the technical solution according to the invention, said cold atomizer is located at least partially in said first tank.

[0024] Eventualno, u skladu sa jednim načinom tehničkog rešenja prema pronalasku, navedeni hladni raspršivač i navedeni prvi rezervoar su montirani paralelno. [0024] Optionally, according to one method of the technical solution according to the invention, said cold atomizer and said first tank are mounted in parallel.

[0025] Povoljno je da uređaj za inhalaciju neke supstance prema pronalasku sadrži više hladnih raspršivača, posebno veći broj brumizatora ili nebulizatora, pri čemu svaki od navedenih hladnih raspršivača raspršuje istu supstancu koja se inhalira u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru ili svaki od navedenih hladnih raspršivača raspršuju određenu supstancu za inhalaciju - inhalant u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru. Na primer, prema pronalasku, uređaj može da obuhvata prvi hladni raspršivač koji raspršuje supstancu koja se inhalira u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru koji odgovara nekoj aromi i drugi hladni raspršivač koji raspršuje supstancu koja se inhalira u tečnom obliku ili u odgovarajućem rastvoru sa nikotinom, aerosoli poreklom iz svakog od raspršivača dolaze do usnika. [0025] It is advantageous that the device for inhaling a substance according to the invention contains several cold atomizers, especially a larger number of brumizers or nebulizers, whereby each of the mentioned cold atomizers atomizes the same substance that is inhaled in liquid form or in solution, or each of the mentioned cold atomizers atomizes a certain substance for inhalation - an inhalant in liquid form or in solution. For example, according to the invention, the device can include a first cold nebulizer that nebulizes a substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in a solution corresponding to an aroma and a second cold nebulizer that nebulizes a substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in a corresponding solution with nicotine, the aerosols originating from each of the nebulizers reach the mouthpiece.

[0026] Poželjno, prema pronalasku, navedeni drugi rezervoar sadrži neki porozni materijal, posebno mikroporozni materijal, na primer zeolit. Prisustvo poroznog materijala ili mikroporoznog materijala omogućava optimizaciju količine vazduha (gasa) koji se ubrizgava u drugi rezervoar. [0026] Preferably, according to the invention, said second reservoir contains some porous material, especially microporous material, for example zeolite. The presence of porous material or microporous material enables optimization of the amount of air (gas) injected into the second tank.

[0027] Prema pronalasku, navedena pumpa je ručna pumpa. Činjenica da je uređaj za inhalaciju neke supstance opremljen ručnom pumpom omogućava da se oslobodi izvora električne energije (baterije), što čini Uređaj za inhaliranje supstance u svakom trenutku još funkcionalnijim. U stvari, umesto da se obezbedi punjenje drugog rezervoara pomoću električne pumpe, jednostavno ručno aktiviranje pumpe omogućava usisavanje vazduha iz okoline, njegovo ubrizgavanje i kompresiju u navedenom drugom rezervoaru. [0027] According to the invention, said pump is a manual pump. The fact that the device for inhaling a substance is equipped with a hand pump makes it possible to get rid of the source of electricity (battery), which makes the device for inhaling a substance even more functional at all times. In fact, instead of ensuring the filling of the second tank by means of an electric pump, simply manually activating the pump allows air to be sucked in from the environment, injected and compressed in said second tank.

[0028] Poželjno, prema pronalasku, navedena ručna pumpa je dvosmerna pumpa, to jest pumpa koja usisava i gura vazduh u drugi rezervoar ne samo tokom kretanja napred, već i tokom povratnog kretanja klipa pumpe. Ovaj način tehničkog rešenja je posebno povoljan jer uređaj za inhaliranje neke supstance, na primer uređaj za pušenje, mora biti kompaktan i neophodno je smanjiti broj pokreta koji se moraju izvršiti ručno kako bi se obezbedilo pumpanje tako da drugi rezervoar brzo sadrži dovoljno komprimovanog gasa (vazduha) tako da korisnik može da inhalira nekoliko udisaja neke supstance za inhalaciju zahvaljujući zapremini komprimovanog vazduha dobijenoj u samo nekoliko pumpanja (pokreta pumpanja), najbolje u samo 3 pumpanja (pokreta pumpanja). Pored ostalog, sa ovakvom dvosmernom pumpom obezbeđuje se brže i stoga efikasnije punjenje drugog rezervoara. [0028] Preferably, according to the invention, said hand pump is a two-way pump, that is, a pump that sucks in and pushes air into the second tank not only during the forward movement, but also during the return movement of the pump piston. This method of technical solution is particularly advantageous because the device for inhaling a substance, for example a smoking device, must be compact and it is necessary to reduce the number of movements that must be performed manually to ensure pumping so that the second tank quickly contains enough compressed gas (air) so that the user can inhale several inhalations of a substance for inhalation thanks to the volume of compressed air obtained in just a few pumpings (pumping movements), preferably in only 3 pumpings (pumping movements). Among other things, with such a two-way pump, faster and therefore more efficient filling of the second tank is ensured.

[0029] Poželjno, uređaj za inhalaciju neke supstance prema pronalasku obuhvata dvosmernu pumpu koja obuhvata nekoliko klipova, posebno nekoliko dvosmernih klipova. Ovo omogućava povećanje i optimizaciju količine gasa (vazduha) koji se uvlači i ubrizgava u drugi rezervoar tokom datog kretanja pumpe. [0029] Preferably, the device for inhaling a substance according to the invention comprises a two-way pump comprising several pistons, in particular several two-way pistons. This allows increasing and optimizing the amount of gas (air) drawn in and injected into the second tank during a given pump stroke.

[0030] Poželjno, uređaj za inhalaciju neke supstance prema pronalasku dalje obuhvata klip koji se aktivira gasom pod pritiskom koji se nalazi u navedenom drugom rezervoaru, pri čemu gas pod pritiskom omogućava dodatnom klipu da izvrši pokret pomeranja koji prati pokret koji izvode mišići ekstenzori prstiju korisnika tokom ručnog pumpanja izvršenog navedenom ručnom pumpom. Ovaj klip stoga olakšava pumpanje od strane korisnika povećavajući silu koju ovaj drugi primenjuje tokom pumpanja koristeći mišiće ekstenzore njegovih prstiju. [0030] Preferably, the device for inhaling a substance according to the invention further comprises a piston activated by pressurized gas located in said second reservoir, wherein the pressurized gas enables the additional piston to perform a displacement movement that follows the movement performed by the extensor muscles of the user's fingers during manual pumping performed by said manual pump. This plunger therefore facilitates pumping by the user by increasing the force applied by the latter during pumping using the extensor muscles of his fingers.

[0031] Povoljno, prema pronalasku, navedena ručna pumpa je opremljena ručkom u obliku prstena. [0031] Advantageously, according to the invention, said hand pump is equipped with a ring-shaped handle.

[0032] Eventualno, prema pronalasku, uređaj za inhalaciju neke supstance može da obuhvata više pumpi, da bi se obezbedilo brže punjenje drugog rezervoara. [0032] Optionally, according to the invention, the device for inhalation of a substance can include several pumps, in order to ensure faster filling of the second tank.

[0033] Poželjno, jedan uređaj za inhalaciju neke supstance prema pronalasku dalje obuhvata mehanizam za zatvaranje navedenog drugog rezervoara, na primer jednosmerni ventil, posebno ventil ili zatvarač za pritisak. Prema pronalasku, jedan takav mehanizam za zatvaranje navedenog drugog rezervoara je postavljen tako da spreči izlazak gasa (vazduha) iz drugog rezervoara kada je pritisak ovog gasa u drugom rezervoaru prenizak: prema pronalasku, mehanizam za zatvaranje navedenog drugog rezervoara, na primer jednosmerni ventil mehaničkog tipa (suprotna sila, mehanička krutost, itd.), pokreće se kada je pritisak unutar drugog rezervoara niži od unapred određene granične vrednosti tako da gas više nije u stanju da izađe iz drugog rezervoara. U kontekstu ovog pronalaska, utvrđeno je da gas (vazduh) prisutan u drugom rezervoaru mora biti dovoljno komprimovan da bi atomizacija izazvala maglu ili adekvatni nebulizat (izmaglicu). Ako je pritisak gasa u drugom rezervoaru prenizak, atomizacija neće biti optimalna: dobijaju se kapljice prevelike veličine supstance za inhaliranje i one dospevaju u usta korisnika u tečnom obliku, a ne u obliku magle ili izmaglice. Povoljno je da gas (vazduh) u stvari treba da bude dovoljno komprimovan da bi atomizacija mogla da proizvede kapljice (čestice) odgovarajuće veličine, odnosno kapljice (čestice) čija je veličina između 0,1 i 20 µm (D50= 3 µm). [0033] Preferably, a device for inhaling a substance according to the invention further comprises a mechanism for closing said second reservoir, for example a one-way valve, in particular a pressure valve or closure. According to the invention, one such mechanism for closing said second tank is arranged to prevent the exit of gas (air) from the second tank when the pressure of this gas in the second tank is too low: according to the invention, the mechanism for closing said second tank, for example a one-way valve of mechanical type (opposite force, mechanical stiffness, etc.), is activated when the pressure inside the second tank is lower than a predetermined limit value so that the gas is no longer able to exit from the second tank. In the context of the present invention, it has been determined that the gas (air) present in the second reservoir must be sufficiently compressed for the atomization to produce a mist or adequate nebulizate (mist). If the gas pressure in the second tank is too low, the atomization will not be optimal: too large droplets of the inhalable substance are obtained and they reach the user's mouth in liquid form, not in the form of a mist or mist. It is advantageous that the gas (air) should in fact be sufficiently compressed so that atomization can produce droplets (particles) of the appropriate size, i.e. droplets (particles) whose size is between 0.1 and 20 µm (D50= 3 µm).

[0034] Eventualno, prema pronalasku, navedeni mehanizam za zatvaranje navedenog drugog rezervoara je povezan sa senzorom pritiska koji meri pritisak koji vlada u navedenom drugom rezervoaru i omogućava kontrolu navedenog mehanizma za zatvaranje. [0034] Optionally, according to the invention, said mechanism for closing said second tank is connected to a pressure sensor that measures the pressure prevailing in said second tank and enables control of said closing mechanism.

[0035] Prema jednom načinu tehničkog rešenja prema pronalasku, jedan uređaj za inhalaciju neke supstance prema pronalasku dalje obuhvata mehanizam za zatvaranje ulaza ili izlaza navedenog hladnog raspršivača. Alternativno ili kao dodatak mehanizmu za zatvaranje navedenog drugog rezervoara, ovaj mehanizam za zatvaranje ulaza ili izlaza navedenog hladnog raspršivača, takođe, omogućava da se obezbedi da kapljice supstance prevelike veličine koju treba inhalirati ne stignu do usta korisnika u tečnom obliku već u obliku magle ili izmaglice. Ovaj mehanizam za zatvaranje ulaza ili izlaza navedenog hladnog raspršivača može biti zatvarač ili ventil; ili bilo koji drugi odgovarajući uređaj, na primer, zatvarač ili ventil, koji se zatvara kada je pritisak na ulazu i/ili na izlazu hladnog raspršivača prenizak i dovodi do stvaranja kapljica prevelike veličine, a ne do nebulizata (izmaglice) koja sadrži (koju formiraju) kapljice (čestice) čija je veličina između 0,1 i 20 µm (D50 = 3 µm). [0035] According to one method of the technical solution according to the invention, a device for inhaling a substance according to the invention further includes a mechanism for closing the inlet or outlet of said cold atomizer. Alternatively or in addition to the mechanism for closing said second reservoir, this mechanism for closing the inlet or outlet of said cold nebulizer also makes it possible to ensure that droplets of a substance too large to be inhaled do not reach the user's mouth in liquid form but in the form of a mist or mist. This mechanism for closing the inlet or outlet of said cold atomizer can be a shutter or a valve; or any other suitable device, for example, a shutter or valve, which closes when the pressure at the inlet and/or outlet of the cold atomizer is too low and leads to the formation of droplets of excessive size, rather than a nebulizate (mist) containing (formed by) droplets (particles) with a size between 0.1 and 20 µm (D50 = 3 µm).

[0036] Povoljno, uređaj za inhalaciju neke supstance dalje sadrži ventil ili sigurnosni zatvarač nadpritiska koji je povezan sa drugim rezervoarom tako da u slučaju previsokog pritiska u ovom poslednjem, svaki mogući rizik od eksplozije ili oštećenja uređaja za udisanje supstanca je izbegnut. [0036] Advantageously, the device for inhaling a substance further comprises a valve or an overpressure safety valve which is connected to the second reservoir so that in case of excessive pressure in the latter, any possible risk of explosion or damage to the device for inhaling substances is avoided.

[0037] Eventualno, u skladu sa jednim načinom tehničkog rešenja, uređaj za inhalaciju supstance dalje obuhvata punjenje sa komprimovanim vazduhom koje je povezano sa drugim rezervoarom i/ili sa hladnim raspršivačem. Prisustvo takvog punjenja sa komprimovanim vazduhom predstavlja dodatni dovod komprimovanog vazduha (gasa) koji deluje samostalno ili paralelno sa drugim rezervoarom i/ili sa hladnim raspršivačem. [0037] Optionally, according to one method of the technical solution, the device for inhaling the substance further comprises a charge with compressed air which is connected to another tank and/or to a cold atomizer. The presence of such a compressed air charge represents an additional supply of compressed air (gas) acting independently or in parallel with another tank and/or with a cold atomizer.

[0038] Eventualno, prema pronalasku, ručna pumpa se može priključiti na punjenje sa komprimovanim vazduhom, da bi mogla, kada je ručna pumpa aktivirana, snabdevati punjenje komprimovanim vazduhom (gasom). [0038] Optionally, according to the invention, the hand pump can be connected to the filling with compressed air, in order to be able, when the hand pump is activated, to supply the filling with compressed air (gas).

[0039] Poželjno, u skladu sa ovim pronalaskom, navedeni hladni raspršivač je brumizator ili nebulizator. [0039] Preferably, according to the present invention, said cold atomizer is a mister or a nebulizer.

[0040] U smislu ovog pronalaska, navedeni prvi rezervoar sadrži najmanje jednu supstancu koja se inhalira u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru, a navedeni drugi rezervoar sadrži gas pod pritiskom. [0040] In terms of the present invention, said first reservoir contains at least one substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in solution, and said second reservoir contains gas under pressure.

[0041] Pogodno, kada je hladni raspršivač uređaja za inhalaciju neke supstance prema pronalasku raspršivač ili nebulizator, ne sme se vršiti nikakvo zagrevanje da bi se dobio aerosol, dim ili faza koja simulira dim. U skladu sa jednim načinom tehničkog rešenja prema pronalasku, kada je hladni raspršivač brumizator ili nebulizator i kada se zbog toga ne koristi grejanje, magla ili nebulizat (izmaglica) proizveden na hladno sadrži u manjoj meri ili čak ne sadrži toksična i potencijalno kancerogena jedinjenja generisana zagrevanjem, kao što je slučaj sa raspršivačem tipa grejnog otpornika koji se sreće kod uređaja za inhaliranje neke supstance, posebno kod aktuelnih elektronskih cigareta, zasnovanih na zagrevanju neke tečnosti da bi se dobio aerosol. U skladu sa jednim načinom tehničkog rešenja prema pronalasku, kada je hladni raspršivač brumizator ili nebulizator, za proizvodnju aerosola ili dima ili za simulaciju dima koji bi se dobio na primer konvencionalnom cigaretom (dim koji se u suštini proizvodi sagorevanjem duvana), aerosol se ne stvara zagrevanjem, već na hladno uz pomoć brumizatora ili nebulizatora koji čini hladni raspršivač da bi se stvorio aerosol u obliku magle ili izmaglice. [0041] Conveniently, when the cold nebulizer of the device for inhaling a substance according to the invention is a nebulizer or nebulizer, no heating must be performed to produce an aerosol, smoke, or smoke-simulating phase. According to one method of the technical solution according to the invention, when the cold atomizer is a mistizer or nebulizer and when therefore no heating is used, the fog or nebulizate (mist) produced cold contains to a lesser extent or even does not contain toxic and potentially carcinogenic compounds generated by heating, as is the case with the atomizer of the heating resistor type encountered in devices for inhaling a substance, especially in current electronic cigarettes, based on heating a liquid to obtain an aerosol. According to one method of the technical solution according to the invention, when the cold nebulizer is a brumizer or nebulizer, to produce an aerosol or smoke or to simulate the smoke that would be obtained for example by a conventional cigarette (smoke that is essentially produced by burning tobacco), the aerosol is not created by heating, but cold with the help of a brumizer or nebulizer that forms a cold nebulizer to create an aerosol in the form of a fog or mist.

[0042] U kontekstu ovog pronalaska, pokazano je da aerosol koji napušta hladni raspršivač (poželjno iz jednog brumizatora ili jednog nebulizatora) ima kapljice (čestice) čija je veličina adekvatna i iznosi između 0,1 i 20 µm (D50= 3µm) da bi se reprodukovala svojstva dima koji bi se, na primer, dobio sagorevanjem, ova veličina kapljica je suštinski identična od jedne inhalacije do druge i smeša [gas pod pritiskom supstanca za inhaliranje -inhalant] je homogena. [0042] In the context of the present invention, it has been shown that the aerosol leaving the cold atomizer (preferably from a nebulizer or a nebulizer) has droplets (particles) whose size is adequate and is between 0.1 and 20 µm (D50= 3 µm) to reproduce the properties of smoke that would, for example, be obtained by combustion, this droplet size is essentially identical from one inhalation to another and the mixture [gas under pressure substance for inhalation -inhalant] is homogeneous.

[0043] Takođe je pokazano da je količina supstance koju treba inhalirati sadržana u aerosolu koji napušta hladni raspršivač (poželjno iz jednog brumizatora ili jednog nebulizator) u suštini identična od jedne do druge inhalacije. [0043] It has also been shown that the amount of the substance to be inhaled contained in the aerosol leaving the cold nebulizer (preferably from one atomizer or one nebulizer) is essentially identical from one inhalation to the next.

[0044] Prema predmetnom pronalasku, hladni raspršivač (na primer, jedan brumizator ili nebulizator) daje, raspršivanjem, jedan aerosol (na primer, maglu ili izmaglicu) koji ima kapljice veličine između 0,1 i 20 µm, poželjno između 0,25 i 10 µm, poželjno između 0,5 i 5 µm. [0044] According to the present invention, a cold atomizer (for example, a mister or a nebulizer) provides, by spraying, an aerosol (for example, a fog or mist) having droplets of size between 0.1 and 20 µm, preferably between 0.25 and 10 µm, preferably between 0.5 and 5 µm.

[0045] Poželjno, prema pronalasku, navedeni aerosol ima kapljice koje imaju distribuciju veličine kapljica D50jednaku 3 µm, poželjno jednaku 2,5 µm. [0045] Preferably, according to the invention, said aerosol has droplets having a droplet size distribution D50 equal to 3 µm, preferably equal to 2.5 µm.

[0046] Po definiciji, aerosol je skup sitnih čestica, čvrstih ili tečnih, jedne supstance ili smeše supstanci, u suspenziji/disperziji u gasovitoj sredini (u suspenziji/disperziji u gasu). [0046] By definition, an aerosol is a collection of small particles, solid or liquid, of one substance or mixture of substances, in suspension/dispersion in a gaseous medium (in suspension/dispersion in gas).

[0047] Po definiciji, „raspršivač” je aparat ili uređaj koji se koristi za finu disperziju (da se redukuje na sitne čestice) tečnosti, rastvora ili suspenzija. U smislu predmetnog pronalaska, raspršivač ima za funkciju da prebaci supstance iz prvog stanja u drugo stanje koje nije ni tečno ni čvrsto. Konkretno, u smislu predmetnog pronalaska, raspršivač omogućava dobijanje aerosola kao što je prethodno definisano. [0047] By definition, a "disperser" is an apparatus or device used to finely disperse (reduce to fine particles) liquids, solutions or suspensions. In terms of the present invention, the atomizer has the function of transferring substances from the first state to the second state, which is neither liquid nor solid. Specifically, in terms of the present invention, the nebulizer allows obtaining an aerosol as previously defined.

[0048] Poželjno, jedan uređaj za inhalaciju neke supstance u skladu sa predmetnim pronalaskom obuhvata hladni brumizator ili hladni nebulizator. [0048] Preferably, a device for inhaling a substance according to the present invention comprises a cold mister or a cold nebulizer.

[0049] Po definiciji, brumizator je uređaj koji omogućava da se, bez zagrevanja, izvrši podela tečnosti pod pritiskom na veoma male kapljice da bi se stvorila magla. Zamagljivanje se, na primer, može izvesti prskanjem (redukcija u fine čestice) tečnosti pomoću ultrazvučnog sistema ili dozatora kroz koju se tečnost unosi. [0049] By definition, a fogger is a device that allows, without heating, to divide a liquid under pressure into very small droplets to create a fog. Fogging, for example, can be performed by spraying (reducing into fine particles) the liquid using an ultrasonic system or a dispenser through which the liquid is introduced.

[0050] Po definiciji, nebulizator omogućava transformaciju tečnosti u oblak izuzetno malih čestica (maglu) i to bez grejanja. Nebulizacija se može, na primer, izvesti korišćenjem ultrazvuka, istovremenim dopremanjem tečnosti i gasa (koncentrični nebulizator) ili pod pritiskom tečnosti i propuštanjem ove tečnosti kroz glavu za raspršivanje (nebulizator Venturi). [0050] By definition, a nebulizer enables the transformation of liquid into a cloud of extremely small particles (fog) without heating. Nebulization can, for example, be performed using ultrasound, simultaneous delivery of liquid and gas (concentric nebulizer) or under liquid pressure and passing this liquid through a spray head (Venturi nebulizer).

[0051] Povoljno, prema pronalasku, gas, tečnost ili smeša gas-tečnost koja dolazi kroz ulaz iz navedenog hladnog raspršivača, na primer ulaz iz brumizatora ili nebulizatora, ima vektor brzine (brzinu) između 0,0025 i 50 m/s, poželjno između 0,005 i 25 m/s, poželjno između 0,01 i 5 m/s. [0051] Advantageously, according to the invention, the gas, liquid or gas-liquid mixture coming through the inlet from said cold atomizer, for example the inlet from a brumizer or nebulizer, has a velocity vector (velocity) between 0.0025 and 50 m/s, preferably between 0.005 and 25 m/s, preferably between 0.01 and 5 m/s.

[0052] Poželjno, prema pronalasku, gas koji ulazi u ulaz navedenog hladnog raspršivača, na primer u ulaz jednog brumizatora ili nebulizatora, ima brzinu protoka između 1.10<-9>i 100.10<-9>ml/s, poželjno između 5 i 50 ml/s. [0052] Preferably, according to the invention, the gas entering the inlet of said cold atomizer, for example the inlet of a brumizer or nebulizer, has a flow rate between 1.10<-9> and 100.10<-9> ml/s, preferably between 5 and 50 ml/s.

[0053] Poželjno, prema pronalasku, tečnost koja ulazi u ulaz navedenog hladnog raspršivača, na primer u ulaz brumizatora ili nebulizatora, ima brzinu protoka između 0,001 i 0,01 ml/s.

Takav uređaj ili komora za mešanje omogućava još više da se formira homogeni aerosol koji sadrži očekivanu količinu supstance koju treba inhalirati i omogućava adekvatnu veličinu kapljica (čestica) prisutnih u aerosolu. [0058] Preferably, according to the invention, the device for inhaling a substance further comprises a device or chamber for mixing said substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in solution and said gas under pressure. Preferably, said device or mixing chamber is located upstream of said cold atomizer (for example, upstream of a bromizer or nebulizer) and is in fluid communication with the inlet of said cold atomizer. Such a device or mixing chamber allows even more to form a homogeneous aerosol containing the expected amount of the substance to be inhaled and allows an adequate size of the droplets (particles) present in the aerosol.

[0059] Povoljno, prema pronalasku je obezbeđeno da je navedeni usnik zamenljiv. U stvari, predviđeno je da se različiti usnici mogu povezati sa uređajem za inhalaciju neke supstance prema pronalasku.

Na primer, izvođenjem rotacionog pokreta, usnik zatvara rezervoar koji sadrži supstancu koju treba inhalirati u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru. [0060] Preferably, according to the invention, said mouthpiece is rotatable and allows closing the reservoir containing the substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in solution, so that the latter cannot flow outside the device for inhaling a substance. For example, by performing a rotary movement, the mouthpiece closes the reservoir containing the substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in solution.

[0061] Povoljno, prema pronalasku, uređaj za inhalaciju supstance dalje obuhvata odeljak koji sadrži aromu ili aromatičnu supstancu ili nikotin. Poželjno, ovaj odeljak je u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa navedenim hladnim raspršivačem (na primer, u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa brumizatorom ili nebulizatorom). Poželjno, ovaj odeljak se nalazi pre hladnog raspršivača, pri čemu se formirani aerosol puni aromom ili aromatičnom supstancom prolazeći kroz odeljak. Na primer, odeljak može da sadrži upijajući materijal koji može biti natopljen aromom ili aromatičnom supstancom ili može imati zidove obložene aromom ili aromatičnom supstancom. Ovaj odeljak može biti uklonjivi i/ili punjivi element uređaja za inhaliranje supstance prema pronalasku. Ovaj odeljak može da se sastoji od dovoda za spoljašnji vazduh (ulaz za spoljašnji vazduh) u koji se može uneti aroma ili aromatična supstanca. Prema jednom načinu tehničkog rešenja prema pronalasku, ovaj odeljak se nalazi na nivou usnika.

Preferably, this compartment is located before the cold nebulizer, whereby the formed aerosol is filled with aroma or aromatic substance by passing through the compartment. For example, the compartment may contain an absorbent material that may be impregnated with an aroma or an aromatic substance or may have walls coated with an aroma or an aromatic substance. This section can be a removable and/or rechargeable element of the device for inhaling a substance according to the invention. This compartment may consist of an outside air supply (outdoor air inlet) into which an aroma or flavoring substance can be introduced. According to one method of the technical solution according to the invention, this section is located at the level of the mouthpiece.

[0062] Poželjno, prema pronalasku, navedeni prvi rezervoar i navedeni drugi rezervoar su koncentrični. [0062] Preferably, according to the invention, said first reservoir and said second reservoir are concentric.

Prisustvo takvog grejnog elementa može omogućiti da se zagreje/reguliše smeša [gas pod pritiskom supstanca koja se inhalira] i/ili aerosol koji izlazi iz hladnog raspršivača (na primer, koji izlazi iz brumizatora ili nebulizatora) tako da korisnik udahne aerosol čija temperatura može, na primer, da bude bliska onoj u jednom udahu dobijenom iz konvencionalne cigarete (sagorevanje duvana). Takav grejni element može povoljno biti prisutan na izlazu iz drugog rezervoara koji sadrži gas pod pritiskom da kompenzuje hlađenje usled ekspanzije gasa kada napusti navedeni drugi rezervoar. Poželjno, prema pronalasku, takav grejni element ne zagreva supstancu za inhalaciju preterano da bi se izbeglo bilo kakvo stvaranje toksičnih i/ili kancerogenih molekula zagrevanjem na visokim temperaturama. [0063] Preferably, according to the invention, the device for inhaling a substance further comprises a heating element, for example, a resistor or a heating partition. The presence of such a heating element may make it possible to heat/regulate the mixture [pressurized gas substance to be inhaled] and/or the aerosol emerging from a cold atomizer (for example, emerging from a brumizer or nebulizer) so that the user inhales an aerosol whose temperature may, for example, be close to that of a single puff obtained from a conventional cigarette (combustion of tobacco). Such a heating element may advantageously be present at the outlet of the second reservoir containing the gas under pressure to compensate for the cooling due to the expansion of the gas as it leaves said second reservoir. Preferably, according to the invention, such a heating element does not heat the inhalation substance excessively in order to avoid any generation of toxic and/or carcinogenic molecules by heating at high temperatures.

[0064] Poželjno, uređaj za inhalaciju neke supstance prema pronalasku dalje obuhvata najmanje jedan ulaz za vazduh ili spoljni dovod za vazduh.

Bilo koji drugi pogodan oblik navedene najmanje jedne supstance koja se inhalira u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru je, takođe, predmet ovog pronalaska. U skladu sa jednim načinom tehničkog rešenja prema pronalasku, navedena supstanca koja se inhalira u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru može jednostavno biti voda. Any other suitable form of said at least one substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in solution is also a subject of this invention. According to one method of the technical solution according to the invention, said substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in solution can simply be water.

[0075] Poželjno, supstanca koja se inhalira u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru nije u uljnoj ili viskoznoj ili poluviskoznoj fazi, već isključivo u vodenoj fazi ili u neuljanom, neviskoznom i nepoluviskoznom rastvaraču. [0075] Preferably, the substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in solution is not in an oily or viscous or semi-viscous phase, but exclusively in an aqueous phase or in a non-oily, non-viscous and non-semi-viscous solvent.

[0076] Prema jednom aspektu, uređaj za inhalaciju supstance prema pronalasku dalje obuhvata najmanje jedan dodatni element izabran iz grupe koju čine zatvarači i/ili ventili, baterija, detektor usisavanja ili senzor pritiska, elektronski modul napajanja, menjač napona, regulator temperature, brojač za broj udisaja, sredstva komunikacije sa elektronskim uređajem kao što je računar ili pametni telefon, prekidač koji kontroliše navedeni okidač, mikser, na primer mikser tipa Venturi. [0076] According to one aspect, the device for inhaling a substance according to the invention further comprises at least one additional element selected from the group consisting of closures and/or valves, a battery, a suction detector or a pressure sensor, an electronic power supply module, a voltage converter, a temperature regulator, a counter for the number of breaths, means of communication with an electronic device such as a computer or smartphone, a switch that controls said trigger, a mixer, for example a Venturi type mixer.

[0077] Prema pronalasku, uređaj za inhalaciju neke supstance može, takođe, da obuhvata elektronski modul za programiranje količine supstance koja se inhalira pri svakom udisaju i/ili zapremine gasa koji se oslobađa pri svakom udisaju i/ili temperature grejnog elementa. [0077] According to the invention, the device for inhaling a substance can also include an electronic module for programming the amount of substance inhaled at each inhalation and/or the volume of gas released at each inhalation and/or the temperature of the heating element.

[0078] Poželjno, prema pronalasku, okidač je mehanički okidač, na primer, nepovratni ventil, ili elektromehanički okidač, na primer, elektromagnetni ventil. Prema pronalasku, okidač, na primer okidač u obliku (elektro)zatvarača, može biti lociran ili između prvog rezervoara koji sadrži najmanje jednu supstancu koja se inhalira u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru i drugog rezervoara koji sadrži gas pod pritiskom, bilo između drugog rezervoara koji sadrži gas pod pritiskom i hladnog raspršivača (na primer, brumizatora ili nebulizatora), ili između hladnog raspršivača i usnika. [0078] Preferably, according to the invention, the trigger is a mechanical trigger, for example a check valve, or an electromechanical trigger, for example an electromagnetic valve. According to the invention, a trigger, for example a trigger in the form of an (electro) shutter, can be located either between a first reservoir containing at least one substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in solution and a second reservoir containing a pressurized gas, or between a second reservoir containing a pressurized gas and a cold nebulizer (for example, a brumizer or nebulizer), or between a cold nebulizer and a mouthpiece.

[0079] Okidač može biti mehanički okidač tipa nepovratnog ventila. Kada korisnik vrši usisavanje preko usnika, nepovratni ventil koji čini okidač i koji sadrži povratnu oprugu prelazi iz položaja mirovanja u kojem se oslanja na graničnik u radni položaj (nepovratni ventil se više ne drži uz graničnik). Povratna opruga je postavljena tako da vrši dovoljnu silu da zadrži nepovratni ventil u svom mirnom položaju kada se uređaj za inhaliranje supstance ne koristi. Usisavanje koje korisnik vrši preko usnika ima efekat pomeranja nepovratnog ventila u pravcu korisnika, stvaranja udubljenja u uređaju za inhaliranje supstance i, kao rezultat, omogućava određenoj količini gasa koja se nalazi u drugom rezervoaru da stigne do prvog rezervoara sadržavajući supstancu koju treba inhalirati u tečnom obliku ili rastvoru kako bi se prenela (gurala) prema hladnom raspršivaču (na primer, brumizatoru ili nebulizatoru). Prolazak supstance koju treba inhalirati u tečnom obliku ili rastvoru kroz hladni raspršivač dovodi do stvaranja aerosola koji sadrži supstancu koja se inhalira u obliku sitnih kapljica koje simuliraju, na primer, dim koji bi se dobio konvencionalnim cigaretama (dim koji se uglavnom proizvodi sagorevanjem duvana). [0079] The trigger can be a mechanical trigger of the non-return valve type. When the user sucks through the mouthpiece, the non-return valve that forms the trigger and contains the return spring moves from the rest position in which it rests against the stop to the working position (the non-return valve is no longer held against the stop). The return spring is positioned to exert sufficient force to hold the check valve in its stationary position when the substance inhaler is not in use. The suction exerted by the user through the mouthpiece has the effect of moving the non-return valve towards the user, creating a cavity in the device for inhaling the substance and, as a result, allows a certain amount of gas contained in the second reservoir to reach the first reservoir containing the substance to be inhaled in liquid form or solution to be carried (pushed) towards a cold atomizer (for example, a mister or nebulizer). Passing the substance to be inhaled in liquid form or solution through a cold nebulizer creates an aerosol containing the substance that is inhaled in the form of tiny droplets that simulate, for example, the smoke that would be produced by conventional cigarettes (smoke that is mainly produced by burning tobacco).

[0080] Poželjno, uređaj za inhaliranje supstance prema pronalasku sadrži turbinu za povećanje protoka vazduha tokom usisavanja koje vrši korisnik. [0080] Preferably, the device for inhaling a substance according to the invention contains a turbine for increasing the air flow during suction performed by the user.

[0081] Prema jednom načinu tehničkog rešenja prema pronalasku, uređaj za inhalaciju supstance obuhvata bateriju, koja može da napaja kompresor i/ili pumpu za kompresiju gasa u navedenom drugom rezervoaru. [0081] According to one method of the technical solution according to the invention, the device for inhaling the substance includes a battery, which can power a compressor and/or a pump for gas compression in said second tank.

[0082] Predmetni pronalazak se, takođe, odnosi na sklop koji sadrži Uređaj za inhaliranje supstance prema pronalasku i stanicu za punjenje (priključna stanica) navedenog drugog rezervoara za gas, posebno vazduh, i/ili dopunjavanje električnom energijom uređaja za inhaliranje neke supstance. [0082] The present invention also relates to an assembly containing a device for inhaling a substance according to the invention and a filling station (connection station) of the said second tank for gas, especially air, and/or recharging the device for inhaling a substance with electricity.

[0083] Predmetni pronalazak se, takođe, odnosi na upotrebu uređaja za inhalaciju neke supstance prema pronalasku za raspršivanje (na primer, za stvaranje magle ili izmaglice) najmanje jedne supstance koja se inhalira u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru. [0083] The present invention also relates to the use of a device for inhaling a substance according to the invention to disperse (for example, to create a fog or mist) at least one substance that is inhaled in liquid form or in solution.

[0085] Crteži slika nisu ni u razmeri ni proporcionalni. [0085] Image drawings are neither to scale nor proportional.

[0086] Slika 1 prikazuje način tehničkog rešenja jednog uređaja za inhalaciju neke supstance prema pronalasku. Prema ovom načinu tehničkog rešenja, uređaj 1 za udisanje supstance obuhvata: • hladni raspršivač 2, na primer, brumizator ili nebulizator 2, [0086] Figure 1 shows the way of the technical solution of a device for inhaling a substance according to the invention. According to this method of the technical solution, the device 1 for inhaling the substance includes: • a cold atomizer 2, for example, a fogger or a nebulizer 2,

• sklop E koji sadrži navedeni raspršivač 2 i prvi rezervoar 3 koji sadrži najmanje jednu supstancu koja se inhalira u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru, pri čemu je hladni raspršivač 2 u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa navedenim prvim rezervoarom 3, • assembly E containing said nebulizer 2 and a first reservoir 3 containing at least one substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in solution, wherein the cold nebulizer 2 is in fluid communication with said first reservoir 3,

• drugi rezervoar 4 koji sadrži gas pod pritiskom i koji je u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa navedenim sklopom E, • the second tank 4 which contains gas under pressure and which is in fluid communication with said assembly E,

• nastavak 5 za usta, čiji je jedan ulaz u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa izlazom navedenog hladnog raspršivača 2 i čiji je jedan izlaz slobodan, • extension 5 for the mouth, one entrance of which is in fluid communication with the exit of the mentioned cold atomizer 2 and one exit of which is free,

• okidač 6 koji je postavljen da oslobodi količinu navedenog gasa iz navedenog drugog rezervoara 4 i namenjen je za navedeni sklop E, i • a trigger 6 which is arranged to release a quantity of said gas from said second tank 4 and is intended for said assembly E, and

• ručnu pumpu P postavljenu da usisava vazduh iz okoline, ubrizgava ga i komprimuje u navedeni drugi rezervoar 4. • hand pump P set to suck air from the environment, inject it and compress it into the specified second tank 4.

[0087] Kao što je prikazano, navedeni prvi rezervoar 3 obuhvata ulaz za tečnost u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa izlazom navedenog drugog rezervoara 4 koji sadrži gas pod pritiskom. [0087] As shown, said first reservoir 3 includes an inlet for liquid in fluid communication with an outlet of said second reservoir 4 containing gas under pressure.

[0088] Prema ovom načinu tehničkog rešenja, uređaj 1 za inhaliranje neke supstance obuhvata detektor aspiracije ili senzor 7 pritiska, kontrolnu jedinicu 8 povezanu sa senzorom 7 pritiska i električni izvor SE (na primer, jednu bateriju). Kada korisnik izvrši usisavanje na nivou usnika 5, kontrolna jedinica 8 će izmeriti udubljenje u uređaju 1 za udisanje supstance preko senzora 7 pritiska i zatim odobriti prolaz struje do elektromagnetnog ventila (koji čini okidač 6) tako da se ovaj pomeri iz položaja mirovanja u kome je zatvoren u radni položaj u kome je otvoren. Pošto drugi rezervoar 4 sadrži gas pod pritiskom i on je u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa navedenim prvim rezervoarom 3 koji je i sam u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa ulazom hladnog raspršivača 2 koji je i sam u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa usnikom 5, otvor elektromagnetnog ventila koji stvara udubljenje u uređaju 1 za inhaliranje supstance dovešće do oslobađanja gasa iz drugog rezervoara 4, pri čemu gas tada dovodi do toga da se supstanca inhalira u obliku tečnosti ili rastvora koji se nalazi u prvom rezervoaru 3 prema ulazu hladnog raspršivača 2. Ovakvo uvlačenje supstance koju treba inhalirati u tečnom obliku ili rastvoru gasom olakšava prolazak ove druge u hladni raspršivač 2, ali i izlaz aerosola dobijenog pomoću usnika 5, što čini da je upotreba ovog tehničkog rešenja prema pronalasku prijatnija za korisnika. Prolazak supstance koju treba udahnuti u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru u hladnom raspršivaču 2 dovodi do raspršivanja tako da se formira aerosol (na primer, u obliku magle ili izmaglice) koji sadrži supstancu koja se inhalira u obliku sitnih kapljica i simulirajući dim koji bi se dobio na primer konvencionalnom cigaretom (dim koji se u suštini proizvodi sagorevanjem duvana). [0088] According to this method of technical solution, the device 1 for inhaling a substance includes an aspiration detector or a pressure sensor 7, a control unit 8 connected to the pressure sensor 7 and an electrical source SE (for example, one battery). When the user makes a suction at the level of the mouthpiece 5, the control unit 8 will measure the depression in the device 1 for inhaling the substance via the pressure sensor 7 and then authorize the passage of current to the electromagnetic valve (which forms the trigger 6) so that it moves from the rest position in which it is closed to the working position in which it is open. Since the second reservoir 4 contains gas under pressure and is in fluid communication with said first reservoir 3 which is itself in fluid communication with the inlet of the cold nebulizer 2 which is itself in fluid communication with the mouthpiece 5, the opening of the solenoid valve creating a depression in the device 1 for inhaling the substance will cause the gas to be released from the second reservoir 4, the gas then causing the substance to be inhaled in the form of a liquid or solution contained in the first reservoir 3 according to at the entrance of the cold nebulizer 2. This drawing in of the substance to be inhaled in liquid form or gas solution facilitates the passage of the latter into the cold nebulizer 2, but also the exit of the aerosol obtained by means of the mouthpiece 5, which makes the use of this technical solution according to the invention more pleasant for the user. The passage of the substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in solution in a cold atomizer 2 leads to dispersion so that an aerosol is formed (for example, in the form of a fog or mist) containing the substance that is inhaled in the form of tiny droplets and simulating the smoke that would be obtained, for example, from a conventional cigarette (smoke that is essentially produced by burning tobacco).

[0089] Slika 2 prikazuje još jednu varijantu uređaja za inhalaciju neke supstance prema pronalasku. Ovaj način tehničkog rešenja je identičan onom prikazanom na Slici 1, ali sklop E ima drugačiju konfiguraciju pošto je hladni raspršivač 2 delimično prisutan u prvom rezervoaru 3. Prema ovom načinu tehničkog rešenja, prvi ulaz e1 (ulaz gasa) hladnog raspršivač 2 je u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa izlazom drugog rezervoara 4 i najmanje jedan drugi ulaz e2 (ulaz supstance za inhalaciju) hladnog raspršivača 2 je u fluidnoj komunikaciji sa prvim rezervoarom 3 koji sadrži supstancu koju treba inhalirati u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru. Na primer, prema ovom načinu tehničkog rešenja, supstanca koju treba inhalirati u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru stiže do hladnog raspršivača 2 Venturi efektom, koji je posledica prolaska gasa pod pritiskom kroz hladni raspršivač 2, što podrazumeva da je supstanca za inhalaciju u tečnom obliku ili u rastvoru „usisana” i dospeva do hladnog raspršivača 2 preko ulaza e2. [0089] Figure 2 shows another variant of the device for inhaling a substance according to the invention. This method of the technical solution is identical to that shown in Figure 1, but the assembly E has a different configuration since the cold nebulizer 2 is partially present in the first tank 3. According to this method of the technical solution, the first inlet e1 (gas inlet) of the cold nebulizer 2 is in fluid communication with the outlet of the second tank 4 and at least one other inlet e2 (inhalation substance inlet) of the cold nebulizer 2 is in fluid communication with the first tank 3 containing the substance which should be inhaled in liquid form or in solution. For example, according to this method of technical solution, the substance to be inhaled in liquid form or in solution reaches the cold nebulizer 2 by the Venturi effect, which is a consequence of the passage of gas under pressure through the cold nebulizer 2, which implies that the substance for inhalation in liquid form or in solution is "sucked" and reaches the cold nebulizer 2 through the inlet e2.

[0090] Slika 3 prikazuje još jedan način tehničkog rešenja uređaja za inhalaciju neke supstance prema pronalasku. Ovaj način tehničkog rešenja sadrži iste komponente kao one prikazane na Slici 2, pri čemu je način rada uređaja za inhalaciju sa Slike 3 identičan načinu rada uređaja za inhalaciju sa Slike 2 (Venturijev efekat). [0090] Figure 3 shows another way of the technical solution of the device for inhaling a substance according to the invention. This method of technical solution contains the same components as those shown in Figure 2, whereby the mode of operation of the inhalation device of Figure 3 is identical to the mode of operation of the inhalation device of Figure 2 (Venturi effect).

[0091] Predmetni pronalazak je opisan u vezi sa specifičnim načinima tehničkog rešenja, koji su čisto ilustrativni i ne bi trebalo da se tumače kao ograničavajući. Uopšteno govoreći, stručnjacima će se činiti očiglednim da predmetni pronalazak nije ograničen na primere koji su prikazani i/ili opisani iznad. [0091] The subject invention is described in connection with specific modes of the technical solution, which are purely illustrative and should not be interpreted as limiting. In general, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the subject invention is not limited to the examples shown and/or described above.

[0092] Upotreba glagola „razumeti”, „uključiti”, „sadržavati” ili bilo koje druge varijante, kao i njihove konjugacije, ni na koji način ne mogu isključiti prisustvo nekih drugih elemenata osim onih koji su navedeni. [0092] The use of the verb "to understand", "to include", "to contain" or any other variants, as well as their conjugations, cannot in any way exclude the presence of some other elements than those listed.

[0093] Upotreba neodređenog člana „un”, „une” ili određenog člana „le”, „la” ili „l'“ (u francuskom jeziku), za uvođenje elementa ne isključuje prisustvo većeg broja ovih elemenata. [0093] The use of the indefinite article "un", "une" or the definite article "le", "la" or "l'" (in French) to introduce an element does not exclude the presence of a greater number of these elements.
