具体实施方式Detailed ways

如本文中所使用的，术语“可抽吸材料(smokable material)”包括在加热时通常以气溶胶的形式提供挥发成分的材料。“可抽吸材料”包括任何含烟草的材料，并且可例如包括烟草、烟草衍生物、膨胀烟草、再造烟草和烟草替代物中的一种或多种。“可抽吸材料”还可包括其他非烟草产品，根据该产品，其可含有或可不含有尼古丁。“可抽吸材料”可例如为固体、液体、凝胶或蜡等形式。“可抽吸材料”也可例如为材料的组合物或混合物。As used herein, the term "smokable material" includes materials that provide volatile components, typically in the form of an aerosol, when heated. "Smokable material" includes any tobacco-containing material, and may, for example, include one or more of tobacco, tobacco derivatives, expanded tobacco, reconstituted tobacco, and tobacco substitutes. "Smokable material" may also include other non-tobacco products, which may or may not contain nicotine, depending on the product. A "smokable material" may be in the form of a solid, liquid, gel or wax, for example. A "smokable material" may also be, for example, a composition or mixture of materials.

参照图1和图2，布置为使可抽吸材料的至少一种成分挥发或提取可抽吸材料的至少一种成分的装置1具有壳体20。壳体20用于可移除地接收可抽吸材料，所述可抽吸材料可以插入到壳体20中并且在使用后被移除。可抽吸材料可以通过壳体20的前开口端24插入以及从其中移除。装置1具有容器40，所述容器布置为保持流体45。装置1还具有中空管60，在图1中用虚线以影像形式示出。管60与流体容器40流体连通，并且突出到壳体20的内部中。管60在管60的突出到壳体20的内部中的部分中具有至少一个出口孔62。装置1被布置为使得当可抽吸材料被接收在壳体20内时，管60进入可抽吸材料。在使用中，流体从流体容器40进入管60，并且穿过管60的出口孔62且进入到接收在壳体20中的可抽吸材料中。Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 , a device 1 arranged to volatilize or extract at least one component of a smokeable material has ahousing 20 . Thehousing 20 is used to removably receive a smokeable material that can be inserted into thehousing 20 and removed after use. The smokeable material can be inserted through and removed from the frontopen end 24 of thehousing 20 . The device 1 has acontainer 40 arranged to hold afluid 45 . The device 1 also has ahollow tube 60, shown in phantom in FIG. 1 with dashed lines. Tube 60 is in fluid communication withfluid container 40 and protrudes into the interior ofhousing 20 . Thetube 60 has at least oneoutlet hole 62 in the portion of thetube 60 that protrudes into the interior of thehousing 20 . The device 1 is arranged such that when the smokeable material is received within thehousing 20, thetube 60 enters the smokeable material. In use, fluid enters thetube 60 from thefluid container 40 and passes through theoutlet aperture 62 of thetube 60 and into the smokeable material received in thehousing 20 .

图1和图2所示的实例中的装置1大体上是细长的，并且壳体20设置在装置1的一端处。在该实例中，壳体20为具有圆形截面的中空筒体的形式，但是可采用其他截面形状。在所示的实例中，流体容器40大体上也是细长的并且具有圆形截面，但也可采用其他截面形状。在该实例中，管60布置为从流体容器40突出到壳体20的中央。在所示的实例中，管60大体上是细长的，并且具有圆形截面。装置1整体上或至少那些在使用中可能变热的部分(诸如壳体20)可由绝热材料形成或包括热绝缘体，以保护使用者的手免受在使用中装置1内的热的部分的伤害。The device 1 in the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is generally elongated, and ahousing 20 is provided at one end of the device 1 . In this example, thehousing 20 is in the form of a hollow cylinder having a circular cross-section, although other cross-sectional shapes may be employed. In the example shown, thefluid container 40 is also generally elongated and has a circular cross-section, although other cross-sectional shapes may be employed. In this example, thetube 60 is arranged to protrude from thefluid container 40 to the center of thehousing 20 . In the example shown, thetube 60 is generally elongated and has a circular cross-section. The device 1 as a whole or at least those parts that may become hot in use (such as the housing 20 ) may be formed of thermally insulating material or include thermal insulators to protect the user's hands from hot parts within the device 1 in use .

当可抽吸材料插入到或接收在壳体20内时，使用中的管60进入可抽吸材料。在实例中，管60在远离流体容器40的一端处具有尖锐的尖端64。当可抽吸材料接收在壳体20内时，尖端64有利于管60刺穿可抽吸材料。可选地或附加地，如以下进一步讨论的，可抽吸材料可具有用于接收管60的孔口，以利于管60进入到可抽吸材料中。当管60定位在可抽吸材料中时，来自流体容器40的流体可以进入管60并且通过一个或多个出口孔62进入到可抽吸材料中。When the smokeable material is inserted or received within thehousing 20, thetube 60 in use enters the smokeable material. In an example, thetube 60 has a sharpenedtip 64 at the end remote from thefluid container 40 . Thetip 64 facilitates penetration of the smokeable material by thetube 60 when the smokeable material is received within thehousing 20 . Alternatively or additionally, as discussed further below, the smokeable material may have an aperture for receiving thetube 60 to facilitate entry of thetube 60 into the smokeable material. When thetube 60 is positioned in the smokeable material, fluid from thefluid container 40 may enter thetube 60 and into the smokeable material through the one or more outlet holes 62 .

流体容器40中的流体45通常为液体形式。合适的流体45包括在电子烟装置中常规使用的那些，包括例如丙二醇和丙三醇(也称为甘油)。The fluid 45 in thefluid container 40 is generally in liquid form.Suitable fluids 45 include those conventionally used in e-cigarette devices, including, for example, propylene glycol and glycerol (also known as glycerin).

在特定实例中，管60具有多个出口孔62。多个出口孔62可沿着管60的长度和/或在管60的表面上均匀地分布。可选地，出口孔62可在管60的表面上不均匀地分布。可选地或附加地，多个出口孔62可在沿着管60的不同位置处具有不同的尺寸(横截面面积)和/或形状。用于多个出口孔62的这些可选布置可以用于控制流体向可抽吸材料中的分配，例如，有助于使味道从可抽吸材料朝向可抽吸材料的一端挥发或从可抽吸材料朝向可抽吸材料的一端提取味道，或者在可抽吸材料的某中间部分或区域处使味道挥发或提取味道。例如，如果可抽吸材料由具有不同味道的可抽吸材料的部分制成，则流体向可抽吸材料中的分配可影响或控制使用者的味道体验。In a particular example, thetube 60 has a plurality of outlet holes 62 . The plurality of outlet holes 62 may be uniformly distributed along the length of thetube 60 and/or over the surface of thetube 60 . Alternatively, the outlet holes 62 may be unevenly distributed over the surface of thetube 60 . Alternatively or additionally, the plurality of outlet holes 62 may have different sizes (cross-sectional areas) and/or shapes at different locations along thetube 60 . These optional arrangements for the plurality of outlet holes 62 can be used to control the distribution of fluid into the smokeable material, for example, to help volatilize flavors from the smokeable material toward one end of the smokeable material or from the smokeable material. The smokable material extracts the flavor at one end towards the smokeable material, or volatilizes or extracts the flavor at some intermediate portion or region of the smokable material. For example, if the smokeable material is made from portions of the smokeable material having different flavors, the distribution of fluid into the smokeable material may affect or control the user's taste experience.

如在附图中所示的实例中，管60可具有笔直的针状形状。作为可选方式，管可具有卷曲的形状，或者可以是线圈的形式，或某些其他非线性形状。As in the example shown in the figures, thetube 60 may have a straight needle-like shape. Alternatively, the tube may have a crimped shape, or may be in the form of a coil, or some other non-linear shape.

在一些实例中，装置1具有用于加热容纳在流体容器40中的流体或液体45的加热器。在一个实例中，加热器在使用中使流体蒸发。蒸发的流体进入到管60中，并通过一个出口孔62(多个出口孔)离开，进入到可抽吸材料中，以提取可抽吸材料的至少一种成分和/或使可抽吸材料的至少一种成分挥发。在实例中，用于加热流体的加热器在约70℃到约100℃或到约120℃或到约150℃或甚至到约200℃或约250℃左右的温度下最佳地操作。在实例中，用于加热流体的加热器是电阻加热器。加热器可以是例如电线，其可以例如为线圈、板(其可以是由两种或多种不同材料制成的多层板，所述不同材料中的一种或多种可以是导电的，所述不同材料中的一种或多种可以是非导电的)、网、薄膜加热器等的形式。可使用其他加热配置，包括感应、对流和非电加热配置。在另一实例中，代替或除了用于流体的某些其他专用加热器外，可通过管60提供用于加热液体的加热器。In some examples, device 1 has a heater for heating fluid or liquid 45 contained influid container 40 . In one example, the heater vaporizes the fluid in use. The evaporated fluid enters thetube 60 and exits through an outlet hole(s) 62 into the smokeable material to extract at least one component of the smokeable material and/or to allow the smokeable material At least one of the components volatilizes. In an example, a heater for heating a fluid operates optimally at a temperature of about 70°C to about 100°C or to about 120°C or to about 150°C or even to about 200°C or about 250°C. In an example, the heater used to heat the fluid is a resistive heater. The heater may be, for example, a wire, which may be, for example, a coil, a plate (which may be a multi-layer plate made of two or more different materials, one or more of which may be conductive, so One or more of the different materials may be in the form of non-conductive), mesh, thin film heaters, and the like. Other heating configurations are available, including induction, convection, and non-electric heating. In another example, a heater for heating the liquid may be provided through thetube 60 in place of or in addition to some other dedicated heater for the fluid.

在一些实例中，装置1具有加热器，所述加热器用于直接加热在使用中接收在壳体20中的可抽吸材料。在特定实例中，用于加热可抽吸材料的加热器在约50℃到约250℃或300℃左右的温度下最佳地操作。加热器加热可抽吸材料，以释放或至少有助于释放可抽吸材料的至少一种成分，但是不引起可抽吸材料燃烧。加热器可以是电阻加热器。在实例中，用于加热在使用中接收在壳体20中的可抽吸材料的加热器是电阻加热器，该电阻加热器设置为壳体20的部分或位于壳体20内的部件。用于加热可抽吸材料的加热器可以例如是在壳体20的面向内的表面上的陶瓷或金属筒体或衬里的形式。作为可选方式，加热器可以是例如电线，其可以例如是线圈、网、薄膜加热器等的形式。可使用其他加热配置，包括感应、对流和非电加热配置。In some examples, the device 1 has a heater for directly heating the smokeable material received in thehousing 20 in use. In particular examples, heaters used to heat the smokeable material operate optimally at temperatures from about 50°C to about 250°C or around 300°C. The heater heats the smokeable material to release or at least assist in releasing at least one component of the smokeable material, but does not cause the smokeable material to burn. The heater may be a resistive heater. In an example, the heater used to heat the smokeable material received in thehousing 20 in use is a resistive heater provided as part of thehousing 20 or as a component located within thehousing 20 . The heater for heating the smokeable material may, for example, be in the form of a ceramic or metal cylinder or liner on the inwardly facing surface of thehousing 20 . Alternatively, the heater may be eg a wire, which may eg be in the form of a coil, mesh, thin film heater or the like. Other heating configurations are available, including induction, convection, and non-electric heating.

在一些实例中，装置1既具有用于加热在使用中接收在壳体20中的可抽吸材料的加热器，又具有用于加热容纳在流体容器40中的流体45的加热器。In some instances, the device 1 has both a heater for heating the smokeable material received in thehousing 20 in use, and a heater for heating the fluid 45 contained in thefluid container 40 .

在实例中，所述装置具有用于为所述加热器或每个加热器供电的电源82。电源82可接收在装置1的位于装置1的与壳体20相反的一端处的邻近流体容器40的电源接受器80中。在其他实例中，电源82容纳在流体容器40内的密封配置中。电源82可以例如是可再充电电池、一次性电池等。可设置控制电路(在图1中不可见)，以能够(尤其是)控制所述加热器或每个加热器的供电。In an example, the device has apower source 82 for powering the or each heater. Apower source 82 may be received in apower receptacle 80 of the device 1 adjacent thefluid container 40 at the end of the device 1 opposite thehousing 20 . In other examples, thepower source 82 is housed in a sealed configuration within thefluid container 40 . Thepower source 82 may be, for example, a rechargeable battery, a disposable battery, or the like. A control circuit (not visible in Figure 1 ) may be provided to be able to, inter alia, control the power supply of the or each heater.

参照图3，示出与如上所述的装置1一起使用的烟制品90的实例，所述装置用于使可抽吸材料的至少一种成分挥发和/或提取可抽吸材料的至少一种成分。在该实例中，烟制品90可以是例如传统的香烟，或者至少大体上为传统香烟的形式，其可以插入到壳体20中。对于使用者而言，其关键的优点是，使用者可以在不允许传统的吸烟(其包括燃烧烟草)的情况或位置，使用具有传统香烟的装置1。烟制品90具有过滤器部分92和包含可抽吸材料的可抽吸材料容纳部分94。壳体20的长度使得当使用者将烟制品90引入到装置1中时，过滤器部分92的至少一部分从壳体20中突出到外面。过滤器部分92可以是醋酸纤维素过滤器。过滤器部分92在挥发的可抽吸材料到达使用者之前对其进行过滤。过滤器部分92还可用于在挥发的可抽吸材料到达使用者之前对其进行冷却。过滤器部分92还可将使用者与在装置1的壳体20内部产生的热隔离。Referring to Figure 3, there is shown an example of a smoking article 90 for use with a device 1 as described above for volatilizing and/or extracting at least one component of a smokable material Element. In this example, the smoking article 90 may be, for example, a conventional cigarette, or at least substantially in the form of a conventional cigarette, which may be inserted into thehousing 20 . A key advantage for the user is that the user can use the device 1 with conventional cigarettes in situations or locations where conventional smoking, including burning tobacco, is not permitted. The smoking article 90 has a filter portion 92 and a smokeable material containment portion 94 containing a smokeable material. The length of thehousing 20 is such that when the user introduces the smoking article 90 into the device 1, at least a portion of the filter portion 92 protrudes from thehousing 20 to the outside. Filter portion 92 may be a cellulose acetate filter. The filter portion 92 filters the volatilized smokeable material before it reaches the user. The filter portion 92 may also serve to cool the volatilized smokeable material before it reaches the user. The filter portion 92 may also isolate the user from heat generated inside thehousing 20 of the device 1 .

在使用中，当烟制品90插入到壳体20中时，管60基本上在烟制品90的圆形截面的中间或周边处进入可抽吸材料容纳部分94中的可抽吸材料。管60进入可抽吸材料中可有助于将烟制品90固定在装置1中。然后，使用者可以操作装置1，以通过使流体从容器40穿过管60并进入到可抽吸材料中来使可抽吸材料的一种或多种成分被提取和/或挥发。In use, when the smoking article 90 is inserted into thehousing 20, thetube 60 enters the smokable material in the smokable material receiving portion 94 substantially at the middle or periphery of the circular cross-section of the smoking article 90. The entry of thetube 60 into the smokable material may assist in securing the smoking article 90 in the device 1 . The user may then operate the device 1 to extract and/or volatilize one or more components of the smokeable material by passing fluid from thecontainer 40 through thetube 60 and into the smokeable material.

参照图4，示出布置为使可抽吸材料的至少一种成分挥发的装置401的另一实例的示意性纵向截面图。在下面的描述中以及在图4中，与上述实例的相应部件和特征相同或相似的组件和特征具有相同的参考标号，但是增加了400。为简洁起见，对那些部件和特征的描述将不在此完全重复。Referring to Figure 4, there is shown a schematic longitudinal cross-sectional view of another example of adevice 401 arranged to volatilize at least one component of a smokeable material. In the following description and in FIG. 4, components and features that are the same or similar to corresponding components and features of the above-described example have the same reference numerals, but increased by 400. For the sake of brevity, descriptions of those components and features will not be repeated here in full.

在该实例中，装置401具有用于加热在流体容器440中所容纳的液体445的加热器442。电源482通过电线483连接到加热器442。在所示的实例中，加热器442是电阻线圈加热器。在该实例中，加热器442围绕吸芯444布置，所述吸芯与流体容器440内的液体445流体连通。加热器442和吸芯444可设置为单个的一体作用的物料，从而通过单个单元有效地执行加热和芯吸。吸芯444一般是吸收性的，并用于吸取在流体容器440中所容纳的液体445。吸芯444优选地是非织造的，并且可以是例如棉或羊毛材料等，或者合成材料，包括例如聚酯、尼龙、纤维胶、聚丙烯等。在该实例中，管460不与流体容器440中的液体445直接接触。代替地，管460的远离可抽吸材料容器420的开口端靠近加热器442并与其相对。在使用中，加热器442使由吸芯444从流体容器440芯吸到加热器442的液体445蒸发。然后，蒸发的液体进入并通过管460，并且从一个或多个出口孔462出来，以进入到在使用中容纳在壳体420中的可抽吸材料中。热蒸发的液体提取和/或挥发可抽吸材料的可被使用者吸入的一种或多种成分。In this example,device 401 hasheater 442 for heating liquid 445 contained influid container 440 . Thepower supply 482 is connected to theheater 442 throughwires 483 . In the example shown,heater 442 is a resistive coil heater. In this example,heater 442 is disposed aroundwick 444 which is in fluid communication withliquid 445 withinfluid container 440 .Heater 442 andwick 444 may be provided as a single, integrally acting material, thereby effectively performing heating and wicking through a single unit. Thewick 444 is generally absorbent and serves to absorb the liquid 445 contained in thefluid container 440 . Thewick 444 is preferably nonwoven, and may be, for example, cotton or wool materials, or the like, or synthetic materials, including, for example, polyester, nylon, viscose, polypropylene, and the like. In this example, thetube 460 is not in direct contact with the liquid 445 in thefluid container 440 . Instead, the open end of thetube 460 remote from thesmokeable material container 420 is adjacent to and opposite theheater 442 . In use, theheater 442 vaporizes the liquid 445 wicked from thefluid container 440 to theheater 442 by thewick 444 . The evaporated liquid then enters and passes throughtube 460 and exits one or more outlet holes 462 to enter the smokeable material contained inhousing 420 in use. The thermally vaporized liquid extracts and/or volatilizes one or more components of the smokeable material that can be inhaled by the user.

参照图5，示出布置为使可抽吸材料的至少一种成分挥发的装置501的另一实例的示意性纵向截面图。在下面的描述中以及在图5中，与上述实例的相应部件和特征相同或相似的部件和特征具有相同的参考标号，但是向上增加了500。为简洁起见，对那些部件和特征的描述将不在此完全重复。Referring to Figure 5, a schematic longitudinal cross-sectional view of another example of adevice 501 arranged to volatilize at least one component of a smokeable material is shown. In the following description and in FIG. 5, parts and features that are the same or similar to corresponding parts and features of the above-described examples have the same reference numerals, but increased by 500 upwards. For the sake of brevity, descriptions of those components and features will not be repeated here in full.

在该实例中，管560突出到流体容器540中的液体545中。此外，管560通过电线583连接到电源582以选择性地加热管560。管560可由诸如金属的电阻材料制成，并因此用作加热器，所述加热器除了用于将蒸发的液体从液体容器540输送到在使用中容纳在壳体520中的可抽吸材料外，还用于加热和蒸发液体545。热的蒸发的液体提取和/或挥发可抽吸材料的可被使用者吸入的一种或多种成分。In this example,tube 560 protrudes intoliquid 545 influid container 540 . In addition, thetube 560 is connected to apower source 582 bywires 583 to selectively heat thetube 560.Tube 560 may be made of a resistive material such as metal and thus act as a heater in addition to transporting evaporated liquid fromliquid container 540 to the smokeable material contained inhousing 520 in use , also used to heat and evaporate the liquid 545. The hot vaporized liquid extracts and/or volatilizes one or more components of the smokeable material that may be inhaled by the user.

参照图6，示出布置为使可抽吸材料的至少一种成分挥发的装置601的另一实例的示意性纵向截面图。在下面的描述中以及在图6中，与上述实例的相应部件和特征相同或相似的部件和特征具有相同的参考标号，但是向上增加了600。为简洁起见，对那些部件和特征的描述将不在此完全重复。Referring to Figure 6, there is shown a schematic longitudinal cross-sectional view of another example of a device 601 arranged to volatilize at least one component of a smokeable material. In the following description and in FIG. 6, parts and features that are the same or similar to corresponding parts and features of the above-described examples have the same reference numerals, but increased by 600 upwards. For the sake of brevity, descriptions of those components and features will not be repeated here in full.

图6的实例性装置601具有用于加热液体的加热器以及用于加热在使用中容纳在壳体620中的可抽吸材料的加热器622。The example device 601 of FIG. 6 has a heater for heating the liquid and a heater 622 for heating the smokeable material contained in the housing 620 in use.

用于加热可抽吸材料的加热器622具有在壳体620的面向内的表面上的筒体或衬里622的形式。加热器衬里622可以是通过电线(未示出)连接到电源682的电阻加热器，并且可由例如陶瓷或金属形成。The heater 622 for heating the smokeable material is in the form of a barrel or liner 622 on the inward facing surface of the housing 620 . Heater liner 622 may be a resistive heater connected to power source 682 by wires (not shown), and may be formed of, for example, ceramic or metal.

在该实例中，类似于图5的实例，由通过电线683连接到电源682的管660提供用于加热液体的加热器。作为可选方式，可通过与图4的实例类似的线圈和吸芯配置或通过某些其他配置提供用于加热液体的加热器。实际上，可能没有必要设置用于加热液体的单独的加热器，并且仅使用用于加热可抽吸材料的加热器622来仅直接加热可抽吸材料可能是足够的。在这种情况下，对可抽吸材料的加热可能足以使流体从流体容器640被吸取到管660中并从出口孔662出来，以使可抽吸材料的至少一种成分挥发。In this example, similar to the example of FIG. 5 , a heater for heating the liquid is provided by a tube 660 connected by wires 683 to a power source 682 . Alternatively, a heater for heating the liquid may be provided by a coil and wick configuration similar to the example of Figure 4, or by some other configuration. In practice, it may not be necessary to provide a separate heater for heating the liquid, and it may be sufficient to directly heat only the smokeable material using only the heater 622 for heating the smokeable material. In this case, the heating of the smokeable material may be sufficient to draw fluid from fluid container 640 into tube 660 and out outlet aperture 662 to volatilize at least one component of the smokeable material.

在设置用于加热液体和用于加热可抽吸材料的单独的加热器的情况下，装置可具有被构造和布置为能够独立控制每个加热器的供电的控制电路。使用者可以例如独立地并选择性地控制用于加热液体的加热器和用于加热可抽吸材料的加热器的供电，从而根据使用者的选择，液体和可抽吸材料中的仅一者或两者通过它们各自的加热器来加热。例如，如果仅操作用于可抽吸材料的加热器，则流体不会被吸取到管中，并且装置可与HNB或THP型设备类似地操作。可选地，使用者可决定仅对用于加热容纳在流体容器中的流体的加热器进行供电，从而与电子烟设备类似地使用所述装置。使用者可选择为两个加热器供电，以将该设备用作“混合式”设备。Where separate heaters for heating the liquid and for heating the smokeable material are provided, the device may have a control circuit constructed and arranged to independently control the powering of each heater. The user may, for example, independently and selectively control the energization of the heater for heating the liquid and the heater for heating the smokeable material, so that only one of the liquid and the smokeable material is selected by the user Or both are heated by their respective heaters. For example, if only the heater for the smokeable material is operated, the fluid will not be drawn into the tube and the device may operate similarly to HNB or THP type devices. Alternatively, the user may decide to energize only the heater used to heat the fluid contained in the fluid container, thereby using the device similarly to an electronic cigarette device. The user can choose to power both heaters to use the device as a "hybrid" device.

在本文中描述的任何实例中，流体容器40和用于可抽吸材料的壳体20以及电源接受器80(如果设置有的话)可彼此可分离地连接。壳体20和流体容器40以及电源接受器80(如果设置有的话)可通过一个或多个夹子、通过可滑动地布置在一起等而利用螺纹或卡口型连接来可分离地连接。此外，流体容器40与用于可抽吸材料的壳体20以及电源接受器80(如果设置有的话)之间的连接可例如使得用于可抽吸材料的壳体20和电源接受器80可彼此直接连接。在该实例中，装置1可以在没有流体容器40或壳体20中的一者的情况下操作。如果例如没有流体容器40并且设置有用于加热可抽吸材料的加热器，则这种模块化配置使使用者能够改变混合式设备的功能以用作THP型设备。In any of the examples described herein, thefluid container 40 and housing forsmokeable material 20 and power receptacle 80 (if provided) may be detachably connected to each other. Thehousing 20 andfluid container 40 and power receptacle 80 (if provided) may be detachably connected using a threaded or bayonet type connection by one or more clips, by being slidably arranged together, or the like. Furthermore, the connection between thefluid container 40 and thehousing 20 for the smokeable material and the power receptacle 80 (if provided) may, for example, be such that thehousing 20 for the smokeable material and thepower receptacle 80 can be directly connected to each other. In this example, the device 1 can operate without one of thefluid container 40 or thehousing 20 . This modular configuration enables the user to alter the functionality of the hybrid device for use as a THP-type device if, for example, there is nofluid container 40 and a heater for heating the smokeable material is provided.

在上述任何实例中，流体容器40可以是可替换的单元或盒的形式，其整体上能够由使用者替换。可更换的盒可设置有接收在其内的液体45。当在使用后变空时，可替换的盒可从装置1移除并由使用者处理，并且用新的充满的盒替换。In any of the above examples, thefluid container 40 may be in the form of a replaceable unit or cartridge that is generally replaceable by a user. The replaceable cartridge may be provided withliquid 45 received therein. When emptied after use, the replaceable cartridge can be removed from the device 1 and disposed of by the user and replaced with a new full cartridge.

在本文中描述的任何实例中，在流体容器40与管60之间可存在阀。阀可以例如能够由使用者手动操作，或者在控制电路的控制下能够操作，或者在例如已经升高到足够压力时能够自动操作。阀可以例如用作确保来自流体容器40的液体直到或除非需要才进入管60的保险措施。当不在使用中时(例如在运输期间)，以不受控制的方式进入管60的液体可能导致装置1泄漏。在不期望时或以不受控制的方式进入管60的液体还可能导致使用者在使用期间的不良体验。例如，在吸气期间，液体可能会进入管，被吸取通过可抽吸材料，并被使用者吸入。因此，期望的是，如图4的实例中所示地，来自流体容器40的液体在进入管60之前被蒸发，或者如图5和图6的实例中所示地，液体在受控制条件下进入管60。控制条件包括在液体进入管60之前何时加热管60。In any of the examples described herein, there may be a valve between thefluid container 40 and thetube 60 . The valve may eg be operable manually by a user, or under the control of a control circuit, or automatically, eg when sufficient pressure has been raised. The valve can be used, for example, as a safety measure to ensure that liquid from thefluid container 40 does not enter thetube 60 until or unless needed. Liquid entering thetube 60 in an uncontrolled manner may cause the device 1 to leak when not in use (eg during transport). Liquid entering thetube 60 in an undesired or uncontrolled manner may also result in a poor user experience during use. For example, during inspiration, liquid may enter the tube, be drawn through the smokeable material, and be inhaled by the user. Therefore, it is desirable that the liquid from thefluid container 40 be evaporated prior to entering thetube 60, as shown in the example of FIG. 4, or that the liquid is under controlled conditions, as shown in the examples of FIGS. 5 and 6Enter tube 60. Control conditions include when to heat thetube 60 before the liquid enters thetube 60 .

在其他实例中，流体容器40为使用者可以根据需要对其进行再填充的可再填充容器的形式。可再填充容器可通过例如从壳体20上旋开流体容器40而从装置1移除，或者可通过例如打开某些再填充开口而在原位进行再填充。然后，使用者可以用合适的液体45填充可再填充容器。In other examples, thefluid container 40 is in the form of a refillable container that the user can refill as needed. The refillable container may be removed from the device 1, eg by unscrewing thefluid container 40 from thehousing 20, or may be refilled in situ, eg by opening certain refill openings. The user can then fill the refillable container with asuitable liquid 45 .

参照图7，示出根据另一方面的烟制品700的实例的示意性纵向截面图，所述烟制品特别地适合于与如上所述的装置一起使用。烟制品700具有可抽吸材料702以及刚性中空筒体704，该刚性中空筒体具有孔口706，用于接收如上所述的装置的管。在该实例中，孔口706通过与可抽吸材料702相邻而与可抽吸材料702流体连通。Referring to Figure 7, there is shown a schematic longitudinal cross-sectional view of an example of asmoking article 700, which is particularly suitable for use with a device as described above, according to another aspect. Thesmoking article 700 has asmokable material 702 and a rigidhollow barrel 704 having anaperture 706 for receiving a tube of a device as described above. In this example, theorifice 706 is in fluid communication with thesmokeable material 702 by being adjacent to thesmokeable material 702 .

图7所示的烟制品700的实例具有大体上筒形的壳体708，所述壳体由诸如刚性的塑料或金属的刚性材料形成。在该实例中，具有孔口706的刚性中空筒体704是单独的部件，其位于并保持在筒形的壳体708的一端处。在其他实例中，具有孔口706的刚性中空筒体704可以有效地设置为筒形的壳体708的一体部分。该实例的烟制品700大体上是细长的，并且具有圆形截面。The example ofsmoking article 700 shown in Figure 7 has a generallycylindrical housing 708 formed of a rigid material such as rigid plastic or metal. In this example, the rigidhollow cylinder 704 with theorifice 706 is a separate component located and held at one end of the cylinder-shapedhousing 708 . In other examples, the rigidhollow cylinder 704 with theapertures 706 may effectively be provided as an integral part of thecylindrical housing 708 . Thesmoking article 700 of this example is generally elongate and has a circular cross-section.

过滤器710设置在烟制品700的与具有孔口706的筒体704相反的另一端处。可抽吸材料702大体上在具有孔口706的筒体704与过滤器710之间位于烟制品700的中央。过滤器710可以是例如醋酸纤维素过滤器，或者可以由其他材料形成。在该实例中，过滤器710具有中心孔口712，在该实例中，所述中心孔口通过与可抽吸材料702相邻而与可抽吸材料702流体连通。过滤器710在挥发的可抽吸材料到达使用者之前对其进行过滤。过滤器710还可用于在挥发的可抽吸材料到达使用者之前对其进行冷却。过滤器710还可将使用者与在使用中在装置1的壳体20内部产生的热隔离。Afilter 710 is provided at the other end of thesmoking article 700 opposite thebarrel 704 having theaperture 706 . Thesmokable material 702 is located generally in the center of thesmoking article 700 between thebarrel 704 having theaperture 706 and thefilter 710 .Filter 710 may be, for example, a cellulose acetate filter, or may be formed of other materials. In this example, thefilter 710 has acentral aperture 712 that is in fluid communication with thesmokeable material 702 by being adjacent to thesmokeable material 702 in this example.Filter 710 filters the volatilized smokeable material before it reaches the user.Filter 710 can also be used to cool the volatilized smokeable material before it reaches the user. Thefilter 710 may also isolate the user from heat generated inside thehousing 20 of the device 1 in use.

孔口706的尺寸设置为能够在烟制品700接收在装置1的壳体20等中时接收上述装置1等的管60等。管60可在孔口706中滑动配合，这有助于在使用中将烟制品700保持在装置1中。在使用中，装置1的管60接收在孔口706中并且进入可抽吸材料702。管60以及烟制品700的各个部分的长度决定管60到达可抽吸材料702中的距离。Theaperture 706 is sized to receive thetube 60 or the like of the device 1 or the like described above when thesmoking article 700 is received in thehousing 20 or the like of the device 1 . Thetube 60 can slide fit in theaperture 706 which helps to retain thesmoking article 700 in the device 1 in use. In use, thetube 60 of the device 1 is received in theaperture 706 and into thesmokeable material 702 . The length of thetube 60 and the various parts of thesmoking article 700 determines the distance of thetube 60 into thesmokable material 702.

在其他实例中，可抽吸材料702本身可沿着其部分长度或全部长度具有孔口(未示出)，用于将装置1的管60接收在可抽吸材料702中。与筒体704的孔口706类似，可抽吸材料702中的这样的孔可具有与管60相似的尺寸和形状。这使管60能够容易进入到可抽吸材料702中。In other examples, thesmokeable material 702 itself may have apertures (not shown) along some or all of its length for receiving thetube 60 of the device 1 in thesmokeable material 702 . Similar to theapertures 706 of thebarrel 704 , such apertures in thesmokeable material 702 may be of a similar size and shape to thetube 60 . This enables easy entry of thetube 60 into thesmokeable material 702 .

装置1可具有识别配置，以能够鉴别或识别已经由使用者引入到装置1中的特定烟制品700。例如，实际上，装置1作为一个整体，特别是包括加热配置以及由电控制电路提供的加热控制，其通常将针对烟制品700的特定配置(例如，尺寸、形状、特定的可抽吸材料等中的一者或多者)进行优化，并且装置1不适合与具有(显著)不同特性的可抽吸材料或烟制品一起使用。此外，如果装置1可以鉴别或识别已引入到装置1中的特定烟制品700或至少烟制品700的总体类型，则这可以有助于消除或至少减少假冒或其他伪造烟制品700与装置1一起使用。装置1布置为将仅加热其能识别的烟制品700，而不会与其不能识别的烟制品700结合操作。装置1可布置为使得其向使用者提供尚未识别烟制品700的某些指示。该指示可以是视觉上的(例如，警告灯，其例如可以在一段时间内连续闪烁或发光)和/或听觉上的(例如，警告“哔哔声”等)。可通过例如电容性或电感性配置、通过读取烟制品700上的条形码等来设置识别配置。The device 1 may have an identification arrangement to be able to identify or identify aparticular smoking article 700 that has been introduced into the device 1 by a user. For example, in practice the device 1 as a whole, in particular, includes a heating configuration and heating control provided by an electrical control circuit, which will typically be directed to the particular configuration of the smoking article 700 (eg, size, shape, particular smokeable material, etc. one or more of) and the device 1 is not suitable for use with smokable materials or smoking articles having (significantly) different properties. Furthermore, if the device 1 can identify or identify theparticular smoking article 700 or at least the general type ofsmoking article 700 that has been introduced into the device 1, this can help to eliminate or at least reduce counterfeit or othercounterfeit smoking articles 700 with the device 1 use. The device 1 is arranged to heat only smokingarticles 700 that it can identify, and will not operate in conjunction withsmoking articles 700 that it cannot identify. The device 1 may be arranged such that it provides the user with some indication that thesmoking article 700 has not been identified. The indication may be visual (eg, a warning light, which may, for example, flash or illuminate continuously for a period of time) and/or audible (eg, a warning "beep," etc.). The identification configuration may be provided, for example, by a capacitive or inductive configuration, by reading a barcode on thesmoking article 700, or the like.

参照图8，示出布置为使可抽吸材料的至少一种成分挥发的装置801的另一实例的示意性纵向截面图。在下面的描述中以及在图8中，与上述实例的相应部件和特征相同或相似的部件和特征具有相同的参考标号，但是向上增加了800。为简洁起见，对那些部件和特征的描述将不在此完全重复。图8中以实例的方式示出的各个部分的总体配置和相对尺寸可应用于本文中描述的任何实例。Referring to Figure 8, there is shown a schematic longitudinal cross-sectional view of another example of adevice 801 arranged to volatilize at least one component of a smokeable material. In the following description and in FIG. 8, parts and features that are the same or similar to corresponding parts and features of the above-described examples have the same reference numerals, but increased by 800 upwards. For the sake of brevity, descriptions of those components and features will not be repeated here in full. The general configuration and relative dimensions of the various parts shown by way of example in FIG. 8 are applicable to any of the examples described herein.

在所示的特定实例中，管860突出超过壳体820的前开口端824一段长度L。在使用之前，可抽吸材料插入到装置800中。然而，可抽吸材料的在使用中朝向可抽吸材料的与使用者的嘴接合的一端的至少一部分将不会被壳体820覆盖或包围。在使用中，可吸收材料被加热和/或加热的流体穿过可抽吸材料。与从可抽吸材料的容纳在壳体820内的部分相比，热将从可抽吸材料的未覆盖或暴露的部分更迅速地散发到环境中。这可有助于改善使用者体验。In the particular example shown, thetube 860 projects a length L beyond the frontopen end 824 of thehousing 820 . The smokeable material is inserted into the device 800 prior to use. However, at least a portion of the end of the smokeable material that, in use, faces toward the end of the smokeable material that engages the user's mouth will not be covered or enclosed by thehousing 820 . In use, the absorbable material is passed through the smokeable material by heated and/or heated fluid. Heat will be dissipated more rapidly from the uncovered or exposed portion of the smokeable material to the environment than from the portion of the smokeable material contained within thehousing 820 . This can help improve the user experience.

参照图9，示出布置为使可抽吸材料的至少一种成分挥发的装置901的另一实例的示意性纵向截面图。在下面的描述中以及在图9中，与上述实例的相应部件和特征相同或相似的部件和特征具有相同的参考标号，但是向上增加了900。为简洁起见，对那些部件和特征的描述将不在此完全重复。图9中以实例的方式示出的各个部分的总体配置和相对尺寸可应用于本文中描述的任何实例。Referring to Figure 9, a schematic longitudinal cross-sectional view of another example of a device 901 arranged to volatilize at least one component of a smokeable material is shown. In the following description and in FIG. 9, parts and features that are the same or similar to corresponding parts and features of the above-described examples have the same reference numerals, but increased by 900 upwards. For the sake of brevity, descriptions of those components and features will not be repeated here in full. The general configuration and relative dimensions of the various parts shown by way of example in FIG. 9 are applicable to any of the examples described herein.

在所示的特定实例中，管960的尖端964位于壳体920内并且远离前开口端924。这种配置使蒸气或气溶胶能够通过可抽吸材料传播更长的距离，从而允许更好地挥发或提取来自可抽吸材料的化合物。In the particular example shown, the tip 964 of the tube 960 is located within the housing 920 and away from the front open end 924 . This configuration enables the vapor or aerosol to travel longer distances through the smokeable material, allowing for better volatilization or extraction of compounds from the smokeable material.

参照图10，示出与布置为使可抽吸材料的至少一种成分挥发的装置1001的实例一起使用的插入件1030的实例。在使用中，插入件1030插入到装置1001的前开口端1024中，并减小靠近前开口端1024的腔1026的宽度。因此，使用插入件1030允许使用者将装置1001与各种宽度的可抽吸材料一起使用，并且不同宽度的可抽吸材料适当地支撑在装置1001内。例如，装置1001可在不使用插入件1030的情况下与“特大尺寸”消耗物结合使用，并且个别地，可在具有位于装置1001的前开口端1024内的插入件1030的情况下与“细的”或“超细的”消耗物结合使用。10, an example of aninsert 1030 is shown for use with an example of adevice 1001 arranged to volatilize at least one component of a smokeable material. In use, theinsert 1030 is inserted into the frontopen end 1024 of thedevice 1001 and reduces the width of thecavity 1026 near the frontopen end 1024. Thus, use of theinsert 1030 allows a user to use thedevice 1001 with various widths of smokeable material, and the different widths of smokeable material are properly supported within thedevice 1001. For example, thedevice 1001 can be used in conjunction with an "oversized" consumable without the use of theinsert 1030, and individually, with theinsert 1030 positioned within the frontopen end 1024 of thedevice 1001 with a "thin" consumable "fine" or "ultra-fine" consumables.

图10所示的插入件1030具有筒形主体部分1030a、径向向外延伸的裙部1030b和通孔1030c。使用者可以握住裙部1030b，以将筒形主体部分1030a插入到装置1001的前开口端1024中，以及将筒形主体部分1030a从装置1001的前开口端1024移除。优选地，插入件1030与装置1001之间具有适贴配合，使得插入件1030被保持在壳体1020的前开口端1024中。同样重要的是，可抽吸材料与插入件1030之间具有良好的配合，使得可抽吸材料被牢固地保持在腔1026中。在实例中，插入件1030由弹性材料制成，使得在使用中其在腔内并围绕可抽吸材料变形。这将在插入件1030与壳体1020之间以及在插入件1030与可抽吸材料之间提供适贴配合。Theinsert 1030 shown in Figure 10 has acylindrical body portion 1030a, a radially outwardly extendingskirt 1030b, and a throughhole 1030c. The user can hold theskirt 1030b to insert thecylindrical body portion 1030a into the frontopen end 1024 of thedevice 1001 and to remove thecylindrical body portion 1030a from the frontopen end 1024 of thedevice 1001 . Preferably, there is a snug fit between theinsert 1030 and thedevice 1001 such that theinsert 1030 is retained in the frontopen end 1024 of thehousing 1020 . It is also important that there is a good fit between the smokeable material and theinsert 1030 so that the smokeable material is held securely within thelumen 1026. In an example, theinsert 1030 is made of a resilient material such that in use it deforms within the lumen and around the smokeable material. This will provide a snug fit between theinsert 1030 and thehousing 1020 and between theinsert 1030 and the smokeable material.

在实例中，插入件1030由绝热材料制成。这有助于防止插入件1030在装置1001的使用期间变热。此外，使用者在使用后从装置1001移除插入件1030时不会烧伤自己。插入件1030适合于与本文中描述的许多实例一起使用。In an example, theinsert 1030 is made of a thermally insulating material.

In instances where the device has multiple tubes, each tube may be in fluid communication with a separate respective fluid container. Separate fluid containers may hold the same liquid or may hold different liquids and/or nicotine and/or different flavourings. In a particular example, the first tube is in fluid communication with a first fluid container that contains so-called e-liquids (eg, of the types conventionally used in vaping devices), including, for example, propylene glycol and glycerol ( also known as glycerin), and includes nicotine, but no added flavor; and the second tube is in fluid communication with a fluid container containing an e-liquid that includes a flavor such as menthol, and optionally also Including nicotine. The release of fluid from the tubes is individually operable, allowing the user to choose whether and when to release fluid from each tube. In various configurations, multiple tubes are in fluid communication with the same fluid container. With more than one tube in fluid communication with one fluid container, the user can vary the amount of fluid released. The tubes may be placed centrally within the cavity, or closer to the housing, or alternatively, in a combination of these locations. The tubes may be substantially the same or may have different dimensions and have the same or different numbers and/or sizes of outlet holes.
