Device and method for measuring ash holding capacity of cigarette

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of cigarette combustion performance analysis, in particular to a cigarette ash holding capacity measuring device and method.The device comprises a clamping structure, a cigarette popping structure, a sliding block, an air blowing structure, an image collecting structure and the like. The clamping structure is used for clamping a cigarette; the cigarette popping structure intermittently touches and presses the cigarette butt part, the sliding block shakes, and the air blowing structure enables ash columns to fall to different degrees. The clamping structure is externally connected with a smoking machine so as to measure the ash holding capacity of the cigarette in a smoking combustion state; the image acquisition structure acquires a cigarette combustion video. The method comprises the following steps: collecting a cigarette combustion video; intercepting an image from the video; processing and calculating the image to obtain the ash holding capacity of the cigarette; the objective environment of cigarette combustion when a consumer smokes is simulated, the cigarette ash holding capacity measuring device is utilized, and the cigarette ash holding capacity can be conveniently and accurately measured and further studied by collecting the video and image of cigarette combustion and calculating and processing the image.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cigarette combustion performance analysis, in particular to a device and method for measuring the ash holding capacity of cigarettes. Background technique [0002] The ash holding capacity of a cigarette refers to the length of the columnar ash at the moment when the ash falls when the cigarette is free to burn, that is, the maximum length of the ash when the cigarette is burned, and the ash holding capacity of the cigarette is measured by the length of this length. At present, the determination of the ash holding capacity of cigarettes in the industry is mainly based on the subjective evaluation method combined with visual observation and verbal description, and there is no method that can quantitatively evaluate. Therefore, how to simply and effectively express the ash-holding capacity of cigarettes after burning, realize the digitization of the ash-holding capacity index of cigarettes, reduce the diffe...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the cigarette ash-holding capacity tester in the prior art when measuring the ash-holding capacity of cigarettes, without considering the influence of consumers' flicking cigarettes, shaking and wind force when actually smoking. The defect of inaccurate results, based on the above situation, it is necessary to develop a cigarette ash-holding capacity test device that considers the impact of smoke, shaking and wind
