Description

DESCRIPTION

Consumer product for an aerosol generating device

The present description refers to a cleaning consumer product for cleaning an aerosol generating device having a heating element, a method of cleaning an aerosol generating device, and an aerosol generating system comprising a generating device. of spray and a cleaning consumer product.

Aerosol generating articles are known in the art in which an aerosol-forming substrate is heated to generate an inhalable aerosol instead of burning. The purpose of such heated aerosol generating articles is to reduce the known harmful smoke constituents produced by combustion and pyrolytic degradation of tobacco in conventional cigarettes. Typically in such heated aerosol generating articles, an aerosol is generated by heat transfer from a heat source to a physically separated aerosol forming material or substrate, which may be located within, around or downstream of the source of hot. During the smoking action, volatile compounds are released from the aerosol forming substrate by heat transfer from the heat source and are drawn into the air sucked through the smoking article. When the released compounds cool, they condense to form an aerosol that is inhaled by the consumer.

WO2013102614 describes an example of an aerosol generating device in which an aerosol forming substrate of an aerosol generating article is heated in direct contact with a heating element to form an inhalable aerosol. In such a configuration of the device, heat a heating element can be transmitted almost instantly to at least a portion of the aerosol forming substrate when the heating element is operated, and this can facilitate the rapid generation of an aerosol. Additionally, the general heating energy required to generate an aerosol may be less than would be required in the case of a system where the aerosol forming substrate does not directly contact the heating element and the initial heating of the substrate occurs by convection. or radiation When a heating element is in direct contact with an aerosol forming substrate, the initial heating of the portions of the substrate that are in contact with the heating element will be carried out by conduction.

When an aerosol forming substrate, such as a tobacco substrate, is heated, volatile compounds are released. The volatile and aerosol compounds that arise from the heat of the heating element can be deposited on the aerosol generating device and in particular on a surface of the heating element. The particles of the aerosol-forming substrate itself can also adhere to the heating element, particularly if the heating element is in direct contact with the aerosol-forming substrate. For example, when the device described in WO2013102614 is used, a heating sheet heats a tobacco substrate to temperatures above 200 ° C, releasing volatile compounds, nicotine and glycerol, which form a breathable aerosol for inhalation by the consumer. However, residues and dust tend to collect inside the device after multiple smokes of the aerosol generating articles, which means that periodic cleaning of the device and the heating sheet is required.

Particles and compounds adhered to and deposited in an aerosol generating device can prevent the heating element from functioning optimally. These particles and compounds may also break during the use of the aerosol generating device and impart unpleasant or bitter flavors to a user. For these reasons it is desirable to clean the heating element periodically.

Cleaning can be affected by a pyrolysis method, in which the heating element is heated 50 to a temperature high enough to burn any residue or deposit. However, pyrolysis by itself may not always be effective. A brush or scraper can be used as an alternative to, or in addition to, pyrolysis. WO2010 / 073122 provides an electrically heated smoking system including a detector capable of detecting the presence of a smoking article in a system cavity and distinguishing the smoking article from other articles such as cleaning articles for cleaning the cavity. Examples of 55 cleaning items include a cleaning tool, such as a brush, cloth, wipe, or swab, and one or more cleaning ingredients for cleaning chemicals. However, it can be a delicate operation to physically clean the heating element of an aerosol generating device without damaging the heating element.

As described herein, a cleaning consumer product may be provided to clean a heating element of an aerosol generating device. The cleaning consumer product comprises a substrate from which a solvent arises capable of releasing a cleaning solvent when heated by the heating element. The cleaning solvent is released and comes into contact with the heating element. The cleaning consumer product is sized to engage with the aerosol generating device so that the heating element can heat the substrate from which the cleaning solvent arises. Therefore, it is preferable that the cleaning consumer product is sized, at least in part, essentially identically to an attachable portion of an aerosol generating article to generate an inhalable aerosol when heated by the aerosol generating device. The substrate from which a solvent arises can be perforated by the heating element of the aerosol generating device and the substrate from which a solvent arises is encapsulated or sealed to prevent the exit of the cleaning solvent until the cleaning consumption product is coupled With 5 the aerosol generating device. In preferred embodiments the cleaning consumer product is shaped like a bar and resembles a cigarette.

The substrate from which a solvent arises can be perforated by the heating element of the aerosol generating device. Therefore, with the perforation the heating element approaches, or comes into contact with, the substrate from which a solvent arises before the heating stage. The solvent that arises when the substrate from which a solvent arises is heated then comes into contact with the heating element and can act to dissolve or release unwanted waste and deposits in the heating element.

The cleaning solvent acts to dissolve or chemically alter at least partially one or more residues or 15 remaining deposits on the aerosol generating device by heating an aerosol generating article. Preferably the cleaning solvent is a solvent that acts to dissolve or chemically alter at least partially one or more remaining residues or deposits by heating a tobacco-based substrate of an aerosol generating article.

Preferably, the cleaning solvent is volatile enough so that it evaporates rapidly after removal of the cleaning consumption product from the aerosol generating device. Therefore, the solvent should not contaminate the aerosol generating device so that the user can detect an unwanted taste during the consumption of his next aerosol generating article.

 25

The substrate from which a solvent arises is encapsulated or sealed to prevent the exit of the cleaning solvent until the cleaning consumer product is coupled with the aerosol generating device. For example, the substrate from which a solvent arises can be hermetically sealed within a polymeric or sheet type wrap such that the cleaning solvent is retained within the substrate. The wrapper is perforated in engagement with the aerosol generating device to allow the solvent cleaning solvent to escape from the substrate. A heating element of the aerosol generating device can be used to pierce a shell encapsulating a substrate from which a solvent arises, in which case the coupling with the aerosol generating device can be simply manufactured to cause the heating element to be inserted inside. of the substrate from which a solvent arises. The combination of an encapsulated or sealed substrate and the ability of the substrate to be perforated by the heater allows the use of volatile cleaning solvents, which would evaporate if they are not encapsulated or sealed, and allows the supply of the solvents directly to the heater to carry out cleaning.

Figure 3 is a schematic cross-sectional diagram of a second embodiment of a cleaning consumption product; Y

Figure 4 is a schematic cross-sectional diagram of the second embodiment of the cleaning consumption product of Figure 3 coupled with an aerosol generating device.

Figure 1 illustrates a cleaning consumption product 10 in accordance with a first embodiment. The cleaning consumption product 50 comprises a substrate from which a solvent 20, a rigid support element 30, and a tip 40 arise. These three elements are arranged sequentially and in coaxial alignment and assembled by means of a cigarette paper 50 for form a rod The rod has a proximal end 12, which ends at the tip 40, and a distal end 13 located at the opposite end of the rod to the proximal end. When assembled, the cleaning consumption product 10 is 45 millimeters long and has a diameter of 7.2 millimeters. 55

The substrate from which a solvent 20 arises is 20 mm in length and is disposed towards the distal end 13 of the cleaning consumption product 10. The substrate from which a solvent 20 comprises a substantially cylindrical porous polyethylene foam, for example a material porous capillary as marketed by Porex®. A longitudinally arranged cylindrical hole or cavity 22 is defined in the foam. The pores in the foam retain a liquid component of the substrate from which a solvent arises comprising ethylacetate cleaning solvent. The liquid component further comprises a fragrance ingredient such as linajudo.

A sheet-like seal 60 is disposed on the distal end 13 of the cleaning consumer product 10 and prevents the release of volatile elements from the substrate from which a solvent 20 arises. 65

The rigid support element 30 is a hollow acetate tube having a length of 18 mm. This element of the cleaning consumer product extends over the length of the consumer product and facilitates the insertion and removal of the cleaning consumer product with respect to an aerosol generating device.

The tip is a cylinder of polyethylene foam that is 7 millimeters in length. Tip 40 improves the appearance of the cleaning consumer product.

The elements identified above are assembled when wrapped tightly within a cigarette paper 50. The paper in this specific mode is a standard cigarette paper. The interface between the paper and each of the elements locates the elements and defines the cleaning consumable rod 10. 10

Figure 2 illustrates the cleaning consumption product 10 when coupled with an aerosol generating device. The aerosol generating device 210 comprises a cover 212 and a cavity 213 for receiving an aerosol generating article (not shown) for consumption. The cavity can also receive a cleaning consumption product 10. A heating element 290 is located inside the cavity 213 and is positioned 15 to engage with a distal end of an aerosol generating article and the distal end 13 of the consumption product Cleaning 10. The heating element 290 is formed from an electrical insulating ceramic material, such as alumina, with metal tracks deposited on a ceramic surface. The metal tracks are coupled to a power source and heated with resistance heating. The heating element is in the form of a sheet. twenty

When used to consume an aerosol generating article, the aerosol generating article is pushed into the cavity 213 so that the heating element 290 penetrates an aerosol forming substrate of the aerosol generating article. The heating element is actuated to heat the aerosol forming substrate and generate an inhalable aerosol. Therefore, the aerosol generating article is consumed. After consumption, the aerosol generating article is removed from the cavity 213. The residues derived from the aerosol forming substrate can adhere to the surface of the heating element and it is convenient to remove these residues periodically. For this, the aerosol generating article can be coupled with a cleaning consumption product 10, as shown in Figure 2.

 30

The cleaning consumer product 10 is coupled with the device 210 in the same manner as an aerosol generating article is coupled with the device 210. The cleaning consumer product 10 is inserted into the cavity 213 of the device 210 and, applying a force to the cleaning consumption product 10, the heating element 290 penetrates the sheet-like seal 60 and enters the cavity 22. After properly located, the heating element 290 is actuated and heats the cavity 22 of the consumption product of cleaning. The cleaning solvent retained within pores of the substrate from which a solvent 20 emerges volatilizes and interacts with the residues in the heating element. This interaction can dissolve the waste and facilitate cleaning of the heating element.

In addition to the generation of a cleaning solvent, a fragrance is generated by the volatilization of the ingredient in the fragrance. This fragrance dissipates to the atmosphere.

After a period of time, the energy source to the heating element is turned off and the cleaning consumer product is removed from the aerosol generating article. Any cleaning solvent or fragrance that remains in the heating element evaporates rapidly and the aerosol generating device can be used to consume additional aerosol generating articles.

Figure 3 illustrates an alternative embodiment of a cleaning consumer product 310. The consumer product is similar to the cleaning consumer product described in relation to Figure 1 and comprises a substrate from which a solvent 320 arises, a support element rigid 330, and a tip 340. These three elements are arranged sequentially and in coaxial alignment and assembled by a cigarette paper 350 to form a rod. The rod has a proximal end 312, which ends at the tip 340, and a distal end 313 located at the opposite end of the rod to the proximal end. When assembled, the cleaning consumption product 310 is 45 millimeters long and has a diameter of 7.2 millimeters. The cleaning consumption product 310 differs from that described in relation to Figure 1 in that the substrate from which a solvent 320 arises has no cavity. 55

The substrate from which a solvent 320 arises is formed from a porous polyethylene foam that is penetrable by the heating element 290 of an aerosol generating device 210. The consumer product is used, as illustrated in Figure 4, Cleaning 310 is inserted into the cavity 213 of an aerosol generating device 210. A force is applied to the cleaning consumption product sufficient to cause the substrate 60 from which a solvent 310 arises to be penetrated by the heating element 290. Once inserted, heating element 290 is activated and heated. The substrate from which a solvent arises is heated and the cleaning solvent retained within the pores of the substrate from which a solvent emerges is volatized and can interact with any residue in the heating element.

 65

After a period of time, the energy source to the heating element is turned off and the cleaning consumer product is removed from the aerosol generating article. The physical interaction between the substrate from which a solvent 310 arises and the heating element 290 causes the heating element to be cleaned when the cleaning consumption product is removed. Therefore, any deposit or residue that can be partially dissolved by the cleaning solvent can be cleaned from the heating element with the removal of the cleaning consumption product 5.

The illustrative embodiments described above illustrate but do not limit the invention. Depending on the illustrative modalities described above, other modalities consistent with the above illustrative modalities will now be apparent to one skilled in the art. 10
