Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of cigarette production detection, and particularly relates to a softness testing device suitable for cigarette boxes. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the enrichment of the content of cigarette strips and box packaging paper, the substrates, printing processes and inks used are more and more various and complex, so it is necessary to detect the physical properties and chemical properties thereof before use. In the detection of the physical properties of the packaging paper, the bending resistance of the packaging paper is detected to understand the softness of the cigarette box. First, the crease-free area of the packaging paper is cut to obtain a sample, and then the sample is subjected to pressure testing. At present, in the pressure testing, the packaging paper is cut to obtain a sample, and then the sample is tested. In the testing, the sample is placed on a support table, and then a fixed force is applied to the surface of the sample by a probe, and the displacement change of the probe is detected to determine the deformation of the cigarette paper. Since the structure of the packaging paper after being made into a cigarette box has a certain influence on the compression strength of the cigarette paper, the test result of the cigarette paper is easy to be different from the softness of the reagent of the cigarette box, and a device for directly testing the cigarette box is urgently needed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions of the present application are further described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.

[0025] EMBODIMENT

[0026] As shown in the drawings, Figures 1 to 5 A softness testing device suitable for a cigarette box, comprising an operation table 1, a texture meter 2 installed on the operation table 1, a spherical probe 3 installed on the texture meter 2, and two placing racks 4 oppositely arranged on the operation table 1, wherein each placing rack 4 comprises a fixedly connected base 41 and a mounting plate 42, the mounting plate 42 is provided with a first sliding groove 43, the first sliding groove 43 is installed with a first sliding block 461, one end of the first sliding block 461 is fixedly installed with a placing table 46, and the other end of the first sliding block 461 is hingedly connected with an adjusting mechanism 5, the adjusting mechanism 5 comprises a first U-shaped rack 51, the first U-shaped rack 51 is installed with a sliding rail 52, the sliding rail 52 is slidingly installed with a second U-shaped rack 53, the second U-shaped rack 53 is fixedly installed with an L-shaped hanging rod 54, and the second U-shaped rack 53 is installed with a fastening screw 531.

[0027] Specifically, two first sliding grooves 43 are formed on the mounting plate 42, and the first sliding grooves 43 are each installed with a first sliding block 461, and the two first sliding blocks 461 installed on the same mounting plate 42 are fixedly connected with the same placing table 46. The first sliding block 461 cooperates with the first sliding groove 43 to limit the placing table 46, so as to avoid the inclination of the placing table 46 and affect the placement of the cigarette box 6.

[0028] Specifically, the mounting plate 42 has second sliding grooves 44 at both ends, and each second sliding groove 44 has a limiting plate 462 installed in it. The limiting plate 462 is perpendicular to the first slider 461 and is fixedly connected to the first slider 461. The limiting plate 462, in conjunction with the second sliding groove 44, limits the first slider 461 to prevent the first slider 461 from tilting and causing the placement platform 46 to tilt, thus affecting the placement of the cigarette box 6.

[0029] Specifically, a limiting groove 521 is provided on the slide rail 52, and a limiting block corresponding to the limiting groove 521 is installed on the second U-shaped frame 53. The limiting block is located in the limiting groove 521. The second U-shaped frame 53 is restricted by the cooperation of the limiting groove 521 and the limiting block, so as to prevent the second U-shaped frame 53 from falling off and affecting its use after the fastening screw 531 is loosened.

[0030] Specifically, the fastening screw 531 is a knob screw, and the second U-shaped bracket 53 has a threaded through hole, into which the fastening screw 531 is screwed. This facilitates the adjustment of the fastening screw 531.

[0031] Specifically, each of the mounting plates 42 has a fixed placement column 45 at its top. When testing the cigarette paper sample, the placement column 45 contacts the cigarette paper, ensuring that the cigarette paper sample is in line contact whether it is laid flat or deformed, thereby reducing the impact on the test results.

[0032] Specifically, the probe 3 is spherical. By setting the probe 3 to be spherical, the probe 3 makes point contact with the cigarette paper sample or the surface of the cigarette box, reducing the influence of the probe 3 on the deformation of the cigarette paper sample or the cigarette box, which is beneficial to improving the test accuracy.

[0033] When testing cigarette paper is required, such as Figure 5 As shown, rotating the adjustment mechanism 5 causes the L-shaped hanging rod 54 to disengage from the placement column 45. Then, the cigarette paper sample is placed on the placement column 45. The softness of the cigarette paper can be tested by using the texture analyzer 2 to drive the probe 3 to press the surface of the cigarette paper sample.

[0034] When testing the cigarette box, place the cigarette box 6 on the placement platform 46, then loosen the fastening screw 531 and rotate the adjustment mechanism 5 so that the first U-shaped frame 51 contacts the side wall of the mounting plate 42 and the L-shaped hanging rod 54 contacts the top of the placement column 45. Then adjust the height of the placement platform 46 so that the upper surface of the cigarette box contacts the L-shaped hanging rod 54. Then tighten the fastening screw 531 to fix the placement platform 46 and ensure that the upper surface of the cigarette box 6 is level with the top of the placement column 45. Then, the softness of the cigarette paper can be tested by using the texture analyzer 2 to drive the probe 3 to squeeze the upper surface of the cigarette box 6.

[0035] The softness testing device suitable for the cigarette case is described in detail. The description of the specific embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, the present application can be improved and modified, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
