<First Implementation Type>

Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the smoking article 1 in the axial direction X of the first embodiment of the present invention. The smoking article 1 is a heat source cigarette formed by arranging the wrap member 2, the heat source 3, the flavor source 4, and the filter member 5 in a row in the axial direction X in sequence.

The smoking article 1 is provided with: a first roll of paper 6, which is wrapped by a package member 2, a heat source 3, and a fragrance source 4; and a second roll of paper 7, which is wrapped by the first roll of paper 6. The latter rolling member 2, heat source 3 and fragrance source 4 are then rolled and integrated with the filter member 5. In addition, the smoking article 1 is provided with: an adhesive part 8 which connects the wrapping member 2, a part of the heat source 3 and the fragrance source 4 to the first roll paper 6; and a non-adhesive part 9 which is attached to the wrapping of the heat source 3 On the side of the member 2, the remaining part of the heat source 3 is not connected to the first roll paper 6. The smoking article 1 is used by detaching the wrapping member 2 from the non-adhesive portion 9 so that at least a part of the heat source 3 is exposed to be ignited and heated.

[Components for Rolls]

The wrapping member 2 of the present embodiment is, for example, a paper tube, which is used to form the first roll of paper 6 in the first wrapping step described later in the first arrangement step described later. The component of the connection body 13 is appropriately improved. The wrapping member 2 also has the function of covering and protecting the heat source 3 when the smoking article 1 is manufactured and before use.

The so-called roll-up moderation refers to the moderation that can wrap the surrounding surface of the roll-up object uniformly without bias. The smoking article 1 with the member 2 for wrapping can be as far as possible from the first The package defect of a roll of paper 6 is eliminated. Although the wrap-up member 2 may be made of any material other than the paper tube, it is preferable to have the same hardness as the flavor source 4, so that the wrap-up moderateness can be improved. In addition, the so-called detachability that only the wrapping member 2 can be easily detached from the smoking article 1 by the touch is also improved.

Furthermore, in order to improve the adhesion of the first roll paper 6 to the first connecting body 13, it is preferable that the wrapping member 2 and the fragrance source 4 have an ellipticity (in other words, a restoration rate) after being deformed by a load. The same degree. The detailed content of the package moderation, the deviating moderation and the reason for the subsequent moderation improvement will be stated later. In addition, the wrapping member 2 may be formed by winding a hollow filter tow with winding paper, or may be formed by winding a solid filter tow with winding paper.

In addition, in order to make it easy for the user to pull out or take off with fingers, the length of the package member 2 in the axial direction X is preferably 5 mm to 20 mm, more preferably 10 mm to 15 mm. Thereby, the detachability of the smoking article 1 can be improved.

[Heat source]

The heat source 3 is a solid formed in a columnar shape, for example, a carbon heat source, and in the case of this embodiment, it has a hollow portion 3a penetrating in the axial direction X. The heat source 3 burns to generate heat by ignition. By passing through the hollow portion 3a, the airflow heated by the heat source 3 can be efficiently generated. The air heated by the heat source 3 passes through the fragrance source 4, thereby efficiently producing aerosol containing fragrance components.

[Scent source]

The flavor source 4 is a columnar molded product, which is a molded product obtained by forming shredded tobacco, tobacco material into an arbitrary shape such as pellets or sheets, plants other than tobacco, other flavors, etc., by using the winding paper 4a At least any one of them is included. Aerosol is added to the fragrance source 4 to form a matrix.

The user inhales the aerosol generated after the airflow heated by the heat source 3 passes through the fragrance source 4. Thereby, the user can ingest the components of the fragrance source 4. In addition, the fragrance source 4 is formed by dividing the fragrance source material 12 described later into two parts, and both are made of the same material. Therefore, in the following description, the fragrance source 4 and the fragrance source material 12 may be used in the same meaning.

[Filter component]

The filter member 5 is formed by arranging the tube 10 and the filter element 11 in a row in the axial direction X from the fragrance source 4 side in this order. The pipe 10 is provided in order to rectify the airflow flowing through the smoking article 1. The tube 10 is, for example, a paper tube or a plastic tube. The filter element 11 is formed by wrapping a filter fiber bundle such as acetate with a winding paper 11a.

The filter fiber bundle can be solid or hollow. In addition, in the filter fiber bundle, particles of activated carbon or particles of hydrotalcite compounds can also be added, and they can also be embedded in a destructible shell filled with a capsule ( capsule). The content liquid system is, for example, flavors and edible oil as a solvent for dissolving flavors. In addition, the filter element 11 may be a so-called multi-segment filter formed by joining a plurality of filter plugs.

[First roll of paper]

The first paper roll 6 is made of paper material with low air permeability (including metal laminated paper, such as aluminum laminated paper) for paper-rolled tobacco, and protruding from the end of the first paper roll 6 The front end of component 2. Thereby, it is possible to easily visually check the existence of the wrapping member 2 to be detached.

[Second Roll of Paper]

The second roll of paper 7 is made of paper with low air permeability for paper roll tobacco. In addition, the second roll of paper 7 is wrapped from the filter member 5 to the area reaching a part of the fragrance source 4 adjacent to the filter member 5, and the second roll of paper 7 can be used to connect the filter member 5 and In the area of the fragrance source 4, a bonding part not shown is formed.

Hereinafter, the manufacturing steps of the smoking article 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8. Fig. 2 is a flowchart showing the manufacturing steps of the smoking article 1, and Figs. 3 to 8 are diagrams for explaining steps S1 to S6 shown in Fig. 2.

[First Arrangement Step] (Step S1)

When the manufacturing steps of the smoking article 1 are started, first, as shown in Figure 3, two wrapping members 2 and two heat sources 3 and one flavor source material 12 are supplied, and the wrapping member 2 and the heat source 3 are formed. , A first connecting body 13 in which the fragrance source material 12, the heat source 3, and the wrapping member 2 are arranged in a row in the axial direction X in sequence. The fragrance source material 12 has about twice the length of the fragrance source 4 in the axial direction X.

Specifically, each material constituting the first connected body 13 is supplied by a supply unit not shown. The materials supplied from the supply unit are arranged in the order shown in Figure 3. Each material is sucked by a suction drum and positioned so as to exist every time it reaches each zone The interval at which new materials can be supplied in the section. In addition, it can also be set to concentrate the supply, arrangement, and disposal of the materials required in each step in one place.

[First volume wrapping step] (step S2)

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the first connecting body 13 is wrapped by the first roll paper 6 in the axial direction X to form the first continuous body 14. Specifically, a winding unit (not shown) having a winding roller (roller) is used. The first roll paper 6 is supplied to the winding unit, and the first connection body 13 is arranged on the first roll paper 6, and the first roll paper 6 is covered by the winding roller in the axial direction X of the first connection body 13 The entire area is pressed substantially uniformly on one side for wrapping.

When performing this wrapping, by positioning the wrapping member 2 at both ends of the first connecting body 13 respectively, the ends of the first connecting body 13 will not be damaged, and the first roll paper 6 can be used to The peripheral surface of a connecting body 13 is uniformly wrapped without deviation. Therefore, the roll-up suitability of the first connecting body 13 is improved. Furthermore, as mentioned above, the wrapping roller presses the whole of the first connecting body 13. From this point of view, the first connecting body 13 includes not only the wrapping member 2 but also the fragrance source material 12, which is also the first One of the main reasons for the improvement of the roll package of a connecting body 13.

In addition, the diameter of the heat source 3 is slightly smaller than that of the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12, so when the above-mentioned wrapping is performed, the heat source 3 does not contact the wrapping drum. Therefore, the hardness of the heat source 3 does not affect the suitability of the package. Furthermore, the useless gaps in the first continuum 14 wrapped by the first roll paper 6 or the unevenness on the surface of the first continuum 14 are suppressed, and the quality of the package that matches the smoking article 1 is formed The first continuum 14.

In addition, when the first connecting body 13 is wrapped by the first roll paper 6, the bonding part 8 that connects the first connecting body 13 and the first roll paper 6 is formed, and the wrapping used for each of the heat sources 3 The non-adhesive part 9 which is not connected to at least a part of the heat source 3 on the side of the member 2.

In more detail, the inner peripheral surface of the first roll paper 6 in the state of the first continuum 14 is tied to the wrapping member 2, a part of the heat source 3 and in the direction opposite to the axis of the flavor source material 12 An adhesive is applied to a continuous area (the entire peripheral surface or a part of the peripheral surface) on X, and the first connecting body 13 is wrapped by the first roll paper 6 to form the adhesive portion 8.

On the other hand, the inner peripheral surface of the first roll paper 6 is not coated in a continuous area (full peripheral surface or part of peripheral surface) in the axial direction X with respect to a part of the heat source 3 and the wrapping member 2 The adhesive is covered, and the non-adhesive portion 9 is formed by wrapping the first connecting body 13 with the first roll paper 6. In addition, the smoking article 1 is used by detaching at least a part of the wrapping member 2 from the non-adhesive part 9 and exposing at least a part of the heat source 3 so as to be ignited and heated.

In addition, if the non-adhesive portion 9 is present, the adhesive portion 8 may not be formed in the entire area on the side of the wrapping member 2. In addition, it is not necessary to make the front ends of the wrapping member 2 project from both ends of the first roll paper 6 respectively.

[First Cutting Step] (Step S3)

Next, as shown in Figure 5, the first continuum 14 is cut at the position indicated by the dotted line of the fragrance source material 12 by a cutting machine not shown to divide it into two parts, and two middle rods 15 are formed. The middle rod 15 is formed by arranging the fragrance source 4 formed by dividing the wrapping member 2, the heat source 3, and the fragrance source material 12 into two parts sequentially in the axial direction X.

[Second Arrangement Step] (Step S4)

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, after the two intermediate rods 15 are separated in the axial direction X, the filter member material 16 is supplied between the intermediate rods 15. The two middle rods 15 can be maintained in the direction of the state after being cut in step S3, and the direction does not need to be reversed to change the direction. The filter member material 16 is formed of a filter element material 17 and a tube 10. The filter element material 17 has approximately twice the length of the filter element 11 in the axial direction X, and the tube 10 is respectively arranged in the filter Both ends of the mouth element material 17.

The supply of the filter member material 16 can be performed after the tube 10, the filter element material 17, and the tube 10 are arranged in a row in the axial direction X, or the tube 10, the filter element material 17, and the tube 10 can be supplied individually They are arranged so as to be supplied as the filter member material 16. Furthermore, the sides of the fragrance source 4 of the two middle rods 15 are respectively directed to the two ends of the filter member material 16, so that the middle rod 15, the filter member material 16, and the middle rod 15 are arranged in order in the axial direction X The second connecting body 18 formed in a row.

[Second Rolling Step] (Step S5)

Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the second connecting body 18 is wrapped by the second roll paper 7 to form the second continuous body 19. Specifically, the second roll paper 7 is supplied to the same wrapping unit as in step S2, and the second coupling body 18 is arranged on the second roll paper 7. Furthermore, by the wrapping drum, the second paper roll 7 covers the continuous area from the filter member material 16 to the fragrance source 4 of the two intermediate rods 15 in the axial direction X, and substantially uniformly presses one side Carry out roll packs.

When performing this wrapping, by positioning the fragrance source 4 on both ends of the second connecting body 18, the peripheral surface of the fragrance source 4 of the filter member material 16 and the middle rod 15 can be covered by the second roll paper 7. It is rolled evenly without any bias. Therefore, the roll-up suitability of the second connecting body 18 is improved, and the second continuum 19 that satisfies the matching quality of the roll-up of the smoking article 1 is formed.

In addition, in the second continuum 19, at least a part of the heat source 3 of the middle rod 15 protrudes from both ends of the second roll paper 7, respectively. Thereby, there is no need to tear the second roll paper 7 when detaching the wrapping member 2 from the smoking article 1, and therefore the detachment of the wrapping member 2 becomes easy.

In addition, when the second connecting body 18 is wrapped by the second roll paper 7, it is properly connected at the bonding part not shown, whereby the filter member material 16 and the intermediate rod 15 in the second continuous body 19 The connection becomes firmer.

[Second Cutting Step] (Step S6)

Next, as shown in Figure 8, the second continuum 19 is cut at the position indicated by the dotted line of the filter member material 16 by a cutting machine not shown to divide into two parts, and two smoking articles 1 are formed The smoking article 1 is formed by dividing the wrapper member 2, the heat source 3, the flavor source 4, and the filter member material 16 into two parts, and the filter member 5 formed by arranging in a row in the axial direction X in sequence .

Fig. 9 shows the state after the wrapping member 2 is separated from the smoking article 1. When the user uses the smoking article 1, the wrapping member 2 is tightened in the axial direction X, thereby causing the first roll paper 6 to be torn in the circumferential direction in the non-adhesive part 9, and the smoking article 1 Take off and detach the member 2 for wrapping. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the heat source 3 is exposed at the front end of the smoking article 1, and the heat source 3 can be ignited. In addition, it can also be used in the manufacturing steps of the smoking article 1. The step of detaching the member 2 for the wrapper, and the smoking article 1 after the member 2 for the wrapper is removed as a finished product.

Here, when detaching the wrapping member 2 from the smoking article 1, in order to reliably detach the wrapping member 2 from the smoking article 1 only at the non-adhesive portion 9, the user often relies on the touch of the finger sense. In other words, when the smoking article 1 is used, it is difficult to distinguish the presence of the wrapping member 2 by the touch, or even the boundary between the wrapping member 2 and the heat source 3 (that is, the position of the non-adhesive portion 9) There is a possibility that the user may detach not only the wrapping member 2 but also the heat source 3 together, or the middle rod 15 containing the fragrance source 4 together.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is sought to further improve the appropriateness of the wrapper in the smoking article 1, and in order to make it easier to separate the wrapper member 2 from the smoking article 1 by the touch. The detachment of the appropriateness to the smoking article 1 is the procedure of evaluating the hardness of the smoking article 1.

Hereinafter, referring to the flowchart showing the hardness evaluation step in Fig. 10, the hardness evaluation step will be described.

[Hardness measurement] (Step S11)

When the hardness evaluation step starts, first, the hardness measurement of the wrapping member 2, the heat source 3, and the fragrance source material 12 is performed.

Figure 11 shows a side view of the hardness measurement unit 20 used for hardness measurement.

The hardness measurement unit 20 includes a base 21, a pair of supporting walls 22, two lower rods 23, two upper rods 24, a lifter 25, and the like. A pair of supporting walls 22 are arranged upright in parallel with the base 21 and extend toward the depth direction of FIG. 11. Two lower side rods 23 are tied in a pair The supporting walls 22 are fixed to the base 21 between the supporting walls 22 and extend parallel to the pair of supporting walls 22. The two upper rods 24 are arranged opposite to the upper side of the two lower rods 23, and are supported by the elevator 25 so as to be lifted and lowered freely.

First, any one of the wrapping member 2, the heat source 3, and the fragrance source material 12 (hereinafter also referred to as the measurement object A) is arranged so as to straddle the pair of supporting walls 22 and the lower rod 23, respectively. A plurality of measuring objects A are arranged along the extending direction of the supporting wall 22 and the lower rod 23, whereby the hardness of a plurality of (for example, 20) measuring objects A can be measured at a time. In addition, since the fragrance source 4 after the fragrance source material 12 is divided into two parts also has the same hardness as the fragrance source material 12, the smoking article 1 itself or the fragrance source 4 constituting the smoking article 1 can also be used as the measurement object A.

Next, when the lifter 25 is operated and the upper rod 24 is lowered in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 11, the measuring object A is pinched between the upper rod 24 and the lower rod, and a load is applied to the measuring object A. By shifting the measuring object A in the axial direction X, a load can be applied to a desired position of the measuring object A. In addition, when measuring the hardness of the measuring object A, it is preferable to apply a load to the central part of the measuring object A in the longitudinal direction to perform the measurement.

The hardness measurement is performed based on the average value of the amount of deformation of each measurement object A when a load of 19.6 N is applied to 20 measurement objects A for 20 seconds.

Figure 12 shows the cross-sectional shape of the measuring object A before the load F is applied with a one-point chain line, and shows the cross-sectional shape of the measuring object A when the load F is applied with a solid line. Before the load F is applied, the measurement object A has a circular cross section and has an initial height H1 (=the diameter of the measurement object A), and when the load F is applied, it has an elliptical cross section and has a residual height H2.

In this embodiment, the hardness of the measuring object A is calculated according to the following formula.

●Hardness (%)=(H2/H1)×100

According to this formula, the hardness of each measuring object A is measured according to the ratio (percentage) of the residual height H2 to the initial height H1. Furthermore, in this evaluation, the average value of the hardness of the 20 measured objects A is calculated, and this average value is defined as the hardness of the object A, that is, the wrapping member 2, the heat source 3, and the fragrance source The hardness of any of the materials 12. The same goes for the following.

The smaller the difference (ΔH) after subtracting the residual height H2 from the initial height H1, the larger the value of the hardness, and it is determined that the measurement object A is hard. In addition, when the heat source 3 is a carbon heat source, when the measurement object A is used as the thermal carbon source and the hardness is specified, the residual height H2 will be equal to the initial height H1, and the actual measured value of the hardness is 100%. Therefore, assuming that the hardness of the heat source 3 is 100%, the following description will be given.

Furthermore, in order to improve both the roll-up modestity and the release moderation, according to the inventor’s experiments, it has been found that when the hardness Hh of the heat source is set to 100%, the hardness Hw of the roll-up member 2 and the flavor source material 12 The preferable value of the hardness Hf is 60% or less and 95% or less, more preferably 65% or more and 80% or less, and more preferably the difference between the hardness Hw of the wrapping member 2 and the hardness Hf of the fragrance source material 12 It is 30% or less, and it is more preferable that the difference in hardness is 15% or less. Therefore, in this embodiment, the hardness evaluation is performed by performing at least any one of the following steps S12 to S14.

[First Hardness Judgment] (Step S12)

As shown in FIG. 10, when the hardness Hh of the predetermined heat source 3 is 100%, it is determined whether the hardness Hw of the wrapping member 2 and the hardness Hf of the fragrance source material 12 are 60% or more and 95% or less. When judged When the result is Yes, there is a certain degree of difference in hardness between the heat source 3 in the smoking article 1 and the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12 adjacent to both sides of the heat source 3 ((Hh-Hw) And (Hh-Hf)), so that the required roll package moderateness can be ensured, and since the roll package member 2 and the fragrance source material 12 are softer than the heat source 3, the user can easily recognize the roll package by touch Since the boundary between the component 2 and the heat source 3 is judged to be able to ensure the required degree of separation, the step moves to step S15 to be acceptable, and then this step ends.

On the other hand, when the determination result is No (No), the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12 are too soft to ensure the appropriateness of the wrapping, or the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12 and the heat source 3 are The same degree of hardness may cause the wrapping member 2 and the heat source 3 to detach or detach together with the intermediate rod 15. It is judged that the detachment moderateness cannot be ensured, and it is moved to step S16 as unacceptable After that, end this step.

[Second Hardness Judgment] (Step S13)

When the hardness Hh of the heat source 3 is specified to be 100%, it is determined whether the difference between the hardness Hw of the wrapping member 2 and the hardness Hf of the fragrance source material 12 is 30% or less. When the judgment result is Yes, the difference (|Hw-Hf|(absolute value)) of the hardness of the wrapping member 2 and the fragrance source material 12 is small, so by making the wrapping member 2 and the fragrance source material 12 The hardness of the package is closer, the suitability of the package is further improved, and the hardness of the heat source 3 clamped by the package member 2 and the fragrance source 4 is further strengthened, and the user is more easily recognized by the touch The boundary between the wrap-up member 2 and the heat source 3 is determined to be further improved in the degree of separation, and after moving to step S15 and making it acceptable, this step is ended.

On the other hand, when the determination result is NO, the difference in hardness between the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is too large to ensure the appropriateness of the wrapping, or when the wrapping member 2 or the flavor source material 12 When the hardness is the same as the heat source 3 and the difference in hardness occurs, the wrapping member 2 and the heat source 3 may be detached or the middle rod 15 may be detached, and it is judged that the detachment moderateness cannot be ensured. And after moving to step S16 and making it unacceptable, this step ends.

[Third Hardness Judgment] (Step S14)

When the hardness Hh of the heat source 3 is specified to be 100%, it is determined whether the difference between the hardness Hw of the wrapping member 2 and the hardness Hf of the fragrance source material 12 is 15% or less. When the judgment result is Yes, since the hardness difference (|Hw-Hf|) between the wrapping member 2 and the fragrance source material 12 is smaller, the hardness of the wrapping member 2 and the fragrance source material 12 are closer, The degree of suitability of the wrap is further improved, and the hardness of the heat source 3 sandwiched between the wrap member 2 and the fragrance source 4 is further strengthened, and the user can more easily recognize the wrap member 2 by touch. The boundary with the heat source 3 is therefore judged that the degree of separation is further improved, and after moving to step S15 and setting it as acceptable, this step is ended.

On the other hand, when the determination result is NO, the difference in hardness between the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12 cannot be eliminated. The difference in hardness between the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is slightly too large to ensure the appropriateness of the wrapping, or the wrapping member 2 and the flavor cannot be resolved. If the source 4 is detached or there is a risk of detaching together with the intermediate rod 15, it is determined that the appropriateness of the detachment may not be ensured, and after moving to step S16 and making it unacceptable, this step is ended.

Here, in the aforementioned first wrapping step, in order to adhere the first connecting body 13 and the first roll paper 6 without bias in the bonding portion, the compressive strength of the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is very important. . This is because in the manufacturing step of the smoking article, the rolling member 2 and the flavor source material 12 may be crushed in the manufacturing step, and when the rolling member 2 and the flavor source material 12 have been crushed When the first wrapping step is performed in the state, it goes without saying that the wrapping is moderately deteriorated, and gaps are generated in the bonding portion 8 to cause poor bonding of the first connecting body 13 and even the smoking article 1.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the appropriateness of the wrapper in the smoking article 1 is further improved, and the recovery rate evaluation steps of the smoking article 1 are also carried out so that the smoking article 1 can be appropriately The bonding of the first connecting body 13 and the first roll paper 6 in the bonding portion 8 is performed, that is, the smoking article 1 is given a proper bonding property.

The following describes the recovery rate evaluation steps with reference to the flowchart in Figure 13 showing the recovery rate evaluation steps.

[Recovery rate measurement] (Step S21)

When the restoration rate evaluation step is started, first, the restoration rate measurement of the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is performed.

Fig. 14 shows a side view of the restoration rate measuring unit 30 used in the restoration rate measurement.

The restoration rate measuring unit 30 includes a base 31, a disk 32, a lifter 33, and the like. The circular surface of the disk 32 is arranged toward the base 31, and the disk 32 is supported by the elevator 33 so as to be lifted and lowered.

First, after placing the wrapping member 2 or the flavor source material 12 (hereinafter also referred to as the measurement target B) on the base 31, when the elevator 33 is operated and the disk 32 is lowered as shown in FIG. 14, the measurement The object B is pinched between the disc 32 and the base 31, and the load is applied to the measurement object B. In addition, the fragrance source 4 after the fragrance source material 12 is divided into two parts also has the same recovery rate as the fragrance source material 12, so the fragrance source 4 can also be set as the measurement object B.

The recovery rate measurement is performed based on the ellipticity when the measurement object B is given a load to compress the measurement object B to 1/2 of the diameter for one minute, and then left for 5 minutes.

Figure 15 shows the cross-sectional shape of the measuring object B before the load F is applied with a one-point chain line, and the cross-sectional shape of the measuring object B immediately after the load F is applied with the solid line.

The measurement object B has an approximately circular cross-section before the load F is applied, but has an elliptical cross-section immediately after the load F is applied and placed, and has a major axis Da and a minor axis Db.

In this embodiment, the ellipticity of the measurement object B is calculated according to the following formula.

●Ellipticity (%)=2(Da-Db)/(Da+Db)×100

According to this formula, the smaller the difference obtained by subtracting the short diameter Db from the long diameter Da, the smaller the value of the ellipticity, and it is determined that the restoration rate of the measurement object B is large.

Furthermore, in order to improve both the roll-up moderation and the subsequent moderation, according to the inventor’s experiments, it has been found that the preferred values of the ellipticity Ew of the roll-up member 2 and the ellipticity Ef of the fragrance source material 12 are 40%. Hereinafter, it is more preferable that the numerical difference between the ellipticity Ew of the wrapping member 2 and the ellipticity Ef of the fragrance source material 12 is 30% or less, and it is more preferable that the numerical difference of the ellipticity is 15% or less. Therefore, in this embodiment, the ellipticity evaluation is performed by performing at least any one of the following steps S22 to S24.

[First Ellipticity Judgment] (Step S22)

As shown in FIG. 13, it is determined whether the ellipticity Ew of the wrapping member 2 and the ellipticity Ef of the flavor source material 12 are 40% or less. When the result of the judgment is Yes, since the restoration rate of the wrapping member 2 and the fragrance source material 12 is large, it is determined that the required wrapping modestability can be ensured, and the bonding part can be used in the first wrapping step. 8 Unbiasedly follow the first connecting body 13 and the first roll paper 6, and after moving to step S25 and setting it as acceptable, this step is ended.

On the other hand, when the result of the determination is NO, since the restoration rate of the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is small, it is impossible to ensure the appropriateness of the wrapping, or the wrapping member 2 produced in the manufacturing step Or the dent of the fragrance source material 12 will produce a non-adhesive area in the adhesive part 8, or the first roll paper 6 in the adhesive part 8 will easily peel off, so it is judged that the appropriateness of the adhesive cannot be ensured, and the step is moved to After S26 is set as unacceptable, this step is ended.

[Second Ellipticity Judgment] (Step S23)

Next, it is determined whether the difference between the ellipticity Ew of the wrapping member 2 and the ellipticity Ef of the flavor source material 12 is 30% or less. When the judgment result is Yes, the difference (|Ew-Ef)|(absolute value)) of the ellipticity between the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is small, so it is determined that the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12 The closeness of the recovery rate makes the roll pack moderateness more improved, and because the bonding state of the roll pack member 2 and the fragrance source material 12 in the bonding part 8 is not easy to produce differences, the subsequent moderateness is further improved, and the transfer After step S25 is set as acceptable, this step is ended.

On the other hand, when the result of the determination is NO, the difference in the restoration rate of the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12 may be too large to ensure the appropriateness of the wrapping, or the bonding part 8 The bonding state of the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12 may cause poor bonding due to the difference, and it is determined that the bonding appropriateness cannot be ensured, and the step S26 is moved to step S26 to be unacceptable, and this step is ended.

[Third Ellipticity Judgment] (Step S24)

Next, it is determined whether the difference between the ellipticity Ew of the wrapping member 2 and the ellipticity Ef of the flavor source material 12 is 15% or less. When the judgment result is Yes, the difference (|Ew-Ef|) of the ellipticity between the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is smaller, so it is determined that the restoration rate of the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is higher. Approaching, the roll-pack moderation is further improved, and because it is more difficult to produce a difference in the bonding state of the roll-packing member 2 and the fragrance source material 12 in the bonding part 8, the moderation is further improved, and the shift After step S25 is set as acceptable, this step is ended.

On the other hand, when the result of the determination is NO, it is determined that the restoration rate of the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is slightly too high, and the wrapping appropriateness may not be ensured, or the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source cannot be eliminated. The adhesiveness of the material 12 may be poor, and the appropriateness of the adhesiveness may not be ensured. After moving to step S26 and making it unacceptable, this step is ended.

In summary, in this embodiment, the smoking article 1 is manufactured by the steps S1 to S6, whereby the section (constituent member) with a longer section length and a relatively large length and width can be used for manufacturing Smoking items 1. Therefore, during manufacturing, it is not necessary to strictly manage the posture of the segment to suppress the rotation of the segment, and it is not necessary to prepare equipment for this management, so that the quality of the smoking article 1 and the production capacity can be improved at the same time.

In addition, in the first cutting step, the first continuum 14 is cut in the fragrance source material 12 to be divided into two parts to form two intermediate rods 15. In the second cutting step, the second continuum is cut 19 The filter member material 16 is cut and divided into two parts to form two smoking articles 1. Therefore, by dividing a symmetrical continuum in the axial direction X into two parts to form two identical members, compared to feeding a plurality of small segments that were cut or formed in advance to form a connected body or even a continuum. In the case of manufacturing the smoking article 1, the smoking article 1 can be manufactured efficiently, and the production capacity of the smoking article 1 can be improved.

In addition, in a series of steps from steps S1 to S6, the wrapping member 2 is always positioned at both ends of the connecting bodies 13, 18, the intermediate rod 15, and the continuums 14, 19. Especially when the first continuous body 14 is formed, when the first connecting body 13 is wrapped by the first roll paper 6, the wrapping member 2 is positioned at both ends, so that the wrapping of the smoking article 1 can be lifted Moderate, and can seek further quality improvement of smoking article 1.

In addition, in the first wrapping step, the bonding portion 8 connecting the first connecting body 13 and the first roll paper 6 is formed, and the side of the wrapping member 2 of each of the heat sources 3 is not connected to at least the heat source. 3 Non-adhesive part 9 partly connected. Thereby, by detaching at least a part of the wrapping member 2 from the non-adhesive part 9, at least a part of the heat source 3 can be exposed and used for heating by ignition.

In addition, by performing the aforementioned hardness evaluation step, the roll-up suitability of the smoking article 1 can be further improved, and the smoking article 1 can be given a degree of detachment. Specifically, the hardness evaluation step is based on the ratio of the residual height H2 to the initial height H1 when a load of 19.6N is applied to the wrapping member 2, the heat source 3, and the fragrance source material 12 for 20 seconds. Measure this hardness. Furthermore, by performing the first hardness determination, only the package member 2 and the fragrance source The material 12 is softer than the heat source 3, and the interface between the wrap-up member 2 and the heat source 3 can be easily recognized by the user by touch, so that it can be accepted by those who can ensure the proper degree of separation.

Furthermore, by performing the second and third hardness determinations, and only for the wrapping member 2 and the flavor source material 12 because the hardness of each other is close to each other, the suitability of the wrapping is further improved, and it is also used in the smoking article 1. The hardness of the heat source 3 held by the wrapping member 2 and the fragrance source 4 is further emphasized, and the user can more easily recognize the boundary between the wrapping member 2 and the heat source 3 by the touch, so that the degree of separation is further improved Only make it acceptable. In addition, instead of performing all the first to third hardness determinations, at least one of the determinations may be performed, or the first to third hardness determinations may be sequentially performed. At this time, the appropriateness of rolling and detachment of the smoking article 1 is also improved.

In addition, by carrying out the aforementioned recovery rate evaluation step, the appropriateness of wrapping in the smoking article 1 is further improved, and the subsequent appropriateness of the smoking article 1 can be given. In detail, the restoration rate evaluation step is based on the ellipticity when a load is applied to the wrap-up member 2 and the fragrance source material 12 to compress them to 1/2 of the diameter for one minute and then left for five minutes. Such recovery rate. Furthermore, by performing the first ellipticity determination, only the wrap-up member 2 and the flavor source material 12 can ensure the required wrap-around moderation due to the large recovery rate. The portion 8 can only be accepted if the connection between the first connecting body 13 and the first roll paper 6 is unbiased.

In addition, the second and third ellipticity determinations are performed only for the wrap-up member 2 and the flavor source material 12 because their recovery rates are close to each other, so that the wrap-around modestability is further improved, and because it is more difficult to produce the adhesive portion 8 The difference in the bonding state of the wrap-up member 2 and the flavor source material 12 makes it acceptable for those who have further improved the degree of bonding. In addition, it can also be set to not All the judgments of the first to third ellipticity judgments are performed, but at least any one of the judgments is performed, and the first to third ellipticity judgments may be performed sequentially. At this time, the appropriateness of the rolling and subsequent appropriateness of the smoking article 1 is also improved.

In this way, the smoking article 1 of the present embodiment not only improves the roll packability due to the roll pack member 2 but also can be rolled up by evaluating the hardness of the roll pack member 2 and the flavor source material 12 The further improvement of the moderation and the improvement of the release moderation. Furthermore, the further improvement of the moderation of the package and the subsequent moderation are sought by the evaluation steps of the restoration rate of the package member 2 and the fragrance source material 12 Sexual improvement.

In summary, although the description of the embodiments of the present invention will be ended, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

For example, the smoking article 1 manufactured in the above-mentioned embodiment has a more desirable form, and is not limited to the aforementioned structure. Therefore, the following will describe other smoking articles 1 to which the aforementioned manufacturing method of smoking article 1 can be applied.

<Second Implementation Type>

Non-coated surface of pigments such as calcium carbonate. In addition, it is preferable that the first roll paper 6 is a high-density paper having a basis weight of 70 g/m ² to 140 g/m ² . In addition, the first roll paper 6 having such a basis weight range may also be metal laminated paper, such as aluminum laminated paper, as described above.

By setting the outer peripheral surface 6a of the first roll paper 6 as a non-coated surface where the paper material is exposed, the production cost of the smoking article 1 can be reduced. In addition, by setting the first roll paper 6 as high-density paper, The scorching of the first roll of paper 6 when the smoking article 1 is being used and the heat source 3 is heated. In addition, the first roll of paper 6 is given a moderate tensile strength, so that the section of the first roll of paper 6 The connection becomes firmer. In this way, the quality of the smoking article 1 is further improved.

<Third Implementation Type>

As shown in the smoking article 1 in Figure 17 (only the middle rod 15 is partially shown), the non-adhesive portion 9 is the thin-walled portion 6c of the first roll of paper 6 that is thinner than the adhesive portion 8, and the thickness of the thin-walled portion 6c It is, for example, 1/2 or less of the thickness of the first roll paper 6. This makes it easier to detach the wrapping member 2 in the non-adhesive part 9, and therefore the detachability of the smoking article 1 is further improved.

<Fourth Implementation Type>

As shown in the smoking article 1 in Fig. 18 (only the middle rod 15 is partially shown), the heat transfer element 40 is arranged on the inner side of the inner peripheral surface 6b of the first roll paper 6 when the first connecting body 13 is wrapped. . The heat transfer element 40 is arranged in the axial direction X, and is arranged in an area from the wrapping member 2 through the heat source 3 to the fragrance source 4. In the first continuum 14, the wrapping member 2 covering both ends is arranged.

In this case, the first roll paper 6 may be an aluminum laminated paper integrated by bonding the thermally conductive element 40 to a paper material. The aluminum laminated paper can be two layers of paper and aluminum (in this case, the outer peripheral side when rolled is paper), or three layers of paper, aluminum, and paper. In addition, when the first roll paper 6 is aluminum laminated paper, it is preferable that aluminum does not exist in the center position of the fragrance source 4 in the axial direction X. Since aluminum does not exist in the central portion, there is an advantage that the cutting of the first continuous body 14 in the first cutting step becomes easy.

In addition, the first continuum 14 may also be arranged to cover two fragrance source materials 12. The thermally conductive element 40 can be made of any material, but is preferably a metal foil (for example, aluminum foil). By disposing the heat-conducting element 40, the heat transfer from the heat source 3 to the fragrance source 4 is promoted, so that the volatile glue can be produced more efficiently from the fragrance source 4.

<Fifth Implementation Type>

Fig. 19 is a plan view showing the unfolded first roll paper 6 as viewed from the side of the inner peripheral surface 6b. A metal foil 41 (for example, aluminum foil) as a heat transfer element 40 is bonded to the inner peripheral surface 6b of the first roll paper 6, and the first roll paper 6 constitutes metal bonded paper. The metal foil 41 is attached to three places in the center of the winding direction Y except for the two ends 42 in the winding direction Y of the first roll paper 6. The metal foil 41 at three locations is arranged across two straight portions 43 extending in the winding direction Y to cover the two end portions 42. In other words, the two end portions 42 and the two straight portions 43 are formed of paper material.

FIG. 20 is a cross-sectional view of the first continuum 14 when the first roll paper 6 belonging to metal bonded paper is used. Two straight portions 43 composed of only paper materials are formed at positions corresponding to the non-adhesive portion 9. In other words, the metal foil 41 is attached to the inner peripheral surface 6b except for at least the position corresponding to the non-adhesive portion 9. Outside the location. Thereby, the detachment of the wrapping member 2 can be easily performed in each linear part 43, and the detachability of the smoking article 1 can be ensured.

On the other hand, the bonding portion 8 is formed at both ends 42 of the inner peripheral surface 6b, that is, at positions other than the metal foil 41. Thereby, compared with the case where the adhesive agent is applied to the metal foil 41 to form the adhesive part 8, the adhesiveness of the first roll paper 6 is improved, and the adhesiveness of the smoking article 1 is improved. Furthermore, by attaching the metal foil 41 as the heat transfer element 40 to the inner peripheral surface 6b and integrating it, even if the first roll paper 6 is not processed to improve the degree of release (the formation of weak stitches, etc.) Chemical line), the outer peripheral surface 6a can also be formed flat, and the production capacity of the smoking article 1 can be improved, and the appearance of the smoking article 1 can be improved.

Therefore, the separated body 2a is arranged on the non-adhesive part 9 and can be removed after the first wrapping step of the manufacturing step of the smoking article 1, and it may not be present in the completed smoking article 1.

In addition, since the adhesive portion 8 is a thin layer of about 1 to 2 μm, the gap between the separator 2a shown in FIG. 21 and the first roll paper 6 is relatively small. Therefore, when the separator 2a is wrapped by the first paper roll 6, it is blocked by the first paper roll 6 due to friction, and is not easy to fall off.

On the other hand, the separating body 2b mainly has the function of protecting the heat source 3, and is separated when the user uses the smoking article 1. Therefore, the adhesive part 8 is formed in the area|region where the separator 2b of the 1st roll paper 6 is arrange|positioned. In this way, the wrapping member 2 is formed by the two separated bodies 2a and 2b to achieve functional separation, thereby increasing the degree of freedom in design of the smoking article 1.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 22, the member 2 for wrapping may be provided with the connection part 2c which connects the separated bodies 2a and 2b. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the unintended falling off of the separated body 2a. In addition, in order to make the separation body 2a easy to remove, the number of the connecting portions 2c is preferably one or two.
