Method for manufacturing atomization unit of suction tool

Abstract

Provided is a technology capable of suppressing the occurrence of scorching in an electrical load of an atomization unit of a suction tool. A method for manufacturing an atomization unit of a suction tool having a liquid storage section and an electrical load comprises: an extraction step (S 10 ) in which a tobacco material subjected to an alkali treatment is heated to extract a flavor component from the tobacco material; a molding step (S 20 ) in which a tobacco residue, which is the tobacco material after being extracted in the extraction step, is cleaned by means of an acidic cleaning liquid having a pH of 7.0 or less to reduce the pH of the tobacco residue to less than 8.0, and the tobacco residue after the cleaning is solidified to mold into a predetermined shape, thereby producing a molded body; and an assembly step (S 40 ) in which an aerosol liquid and the molded body produced in the molding step are stored in the liquid storage section.

1 . A method for manufacturing an atomization unit of a suction tool, the atomization unit including a liquid storage section that stores an aerosol liquid and an electrical load that atomizes the aerosol liquid introduced from the liquid storage section and generates an aerosol, and the method for manufacturing the atomization unit of the suction tool comprising:
 an extraction step in which a tobacco material subjected to an alkali treatment is heated to extract a flavor component from the tobacco material;   a molding step in which a tobacco residue, which is the tobacco material after being extracted in the extraction step, is cleaned by means of an acidic cleaning liquid having a pH of 7.0 or less to cause a pH of the tobacco residue to become less than 8.0, and the tobacco residue after the cleaning is solidified and is molded into a predetermined shape, thereby producing a molded body; and   an assembly step in which the aerosol liquid and the molded body produced in the molding step are stored in the liquid storage section.   
     
     
         2 . The method for manufacturing the atomization unit of the suction tool according to  claim 1 , wherein the molding step includes coating an entire surface of the molded body with a coating material containing a water-soluble polymer made up of at least one substance selected from polyvinyl alcohol, agar, gelatin, chitosan, and alginic acid. 
     
     
         3 . The method for manufacturing the atomization unit of the suction tool according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an extracted liquid preparation step in which the flavor component extracted in the extraction step is added to a solvent to prepare a tobacco material extracted liquid,   wherein the aerosol liquid that is stored in the liquid storage section in the assembly step contains the extracted liquid prepared in the extracted liquid preparation step.   
     
     
         4 . The method for manufacturing the atomization unit of the suction tool according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an extracted liquid preparation step in which the flavor component extracted in the extraction step is added to a solvent to prepare a tobacco material extracted liquid,   wherein the molding step includes adding to the molded body a part of the extracted liquid prepared in the extracted liquid preparation step, and   wherein the aerosol liquid that is stored in the liquid storage section in the assembly step contains at least a part of a remaining portion of the extracted liquid prepared in the extracted liquid preparation step.   
     
     
         5 . The method for manufacturing the atomization unit of the suction tool according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an extracted liquid preparation step in which the flavor component extracted in the extraction step is added to a solvent to prepare a tobacco material extracted liquid,   wherein the molding step includes adding to the molded body all of the extracted liquid prepared in the extracted liquid preparation step.
