Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of detection equipment, and in particular relates to a sampling device for cigarette detection. Background Art

[0002] During the cigarette manufacturing process, physical indicators of cigarettes are often tested to verify product quality. Common physical indicators of cigarettes include weight, length, circumference, draw resistance, appearance, and hardness.

[0003] After the cigarettes go through the rolling process, they are transported to the packaging machine via a conveyor belt for packaging. The physical indicators of cigarettes are usually tested before they are transported to the packaging machine. The existing physical indicator testing of cigarettes generally involves manual sampling to remove the cigarettes from the cigarette conveyor belt, placing the sampled cigarettes on a tray, and then taking them to the laboratory for relevant testing. However, the manual random sampling method of taking cigarettes can easily affect the weight, appearance, hardness and other properties of the cigarettes due to different samplers and different habits of taking cigarettes. In addition, after sampling, the sampled cigarettes are directly placed on the tray without protection, making the weight, moisture content and other properties of the cigarettes easily affected by external factors, affecting the objectivity and fairness of the physical indicator testing of cigarettes, resulting in the physical indicator test data of cigarettes not being consistent with the actual quality of the cigarettes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sampling device for cigarette detection, which is used to solve the problem of a sampling method in which random manual sampling of cigarettes is used. Since different people taking samples have different habits of taking cigarettes, it is easy to affect the weight, appearance, hardness and other properties of the cigarettes. In addition, after sampling, the cigarettes are directly placed in a tray without being protected, making the weight, moisture content and other properties of the cigarettes easily affected by the outside world, affecting the objectivity and fairness of the detection of physical indicators of the cigarettes, and resulting in the problem that the detection data of the physical indicators of the cigarettes are inconsistent with the actual quality of the cigarettes.

[0005] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the technical solutions adopted by the present invention are as follows:

[0006] The sampling device of claim 1, wherein the first and second mounting slots are formed on the fixing frame, and the second and second mounting slots are connected to each other. The fixing frame is provided with a first sliding groove, the first sliding groove and the third groove are communicated, the fixing frame is provided with a second sliding groove, the second sliding groove and the third groove are communicated, the fixing frame is provided with a through groove, the through groove and the second sliding groove are communicated, and the fixing frame is fixed with a corner block at the position of the second sliding groove, the fixing frame is provided with a rotating groove between the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove, the rotating groove is communicated with the first sliding groove, the second sliding groove and the third groove, and a rotating plate is installed in the rotating groove, and a second rotating rod is fixedly penetrated in the middle of the rotating plate, one end of the second rotating rod is rotatably mounted on one side of the fixing frame, and the other end penetrates the fixing frame, the fixing frame is provided with a second mounting groove at the position of the second rotating rod, and the second mounting groove is communicated with the rotating groove.

[0007] It is further defined that the mounting shell assembly includes a mounting shell, a first cover plate and a snap-on assembly, the first cover plate is rotatably mounted on the mounting shell, the snap-on assembly includes a V-shaped plate and a clamping block, the V-shaped plate is fixedly mounted on one side of the first cover plate, the clamping block is fixedly mounted on the mounting shell and corresponds to the position of the V-shaped plate, a clamping groove is provided on the clamping block, the V-shaped plate is clamped in the clamping groove, a first clamping strip is fixedly provided at one end of the V-shaped plate, and a second clamping strip is fixedly provided on the clamping block in the clamping groove, and in this arrangement, the V-shaped plate is clamped in the clamping groove by engaging the first clamping strip and the second clamping strip, thereby fastening the first cover plate and the mounting shell to the connection, which is convenient for the operator to switch.

[0008] It is further defined that a first handle is fixedly mounted on the first cover plate, and in this arrangement, the entire mounting shell assembly and the sampling assembly can be conveniently moved by the first handle.

[0009] It is further defined that a first groove is provided on the box body at the position of the first rotating rod, and a second groove is provided on the box body at the bottom of the first groove, the first groove and the second groove are connected, a spring is installed in the second groove, a card block is installed in the second groove, both sides of one end of the card block are inclined surfaces, one end of the spring is connected to the bottom of the second groove, and the other end is connected to one end of the card block, and a fixed block is fixedly installed in the first groove on the first rotating rod. In this arrangement, through the cooperation of the fixed block and the card block, the first rotating rod can be closed when the baffle is closed, and the baffle will not rotate due to the loading of sampled cigarettes.

[0010] It is further defined that a plurality of anti-slip grooves are provided at the end of the first rotating rod, and such an arrangement facilitates an operator to rotate the first rotating rod through the anti-slip grooves.

[0011] It is further defined that a notch is provided on the fixing frame at the position of the handle, so that the notch facilitates the operator to place and take the sampling box.

[0012] It is further defined that a second handle is fixedly mounted on the fixing frame, and such arrangement facilitates an operator to place and take out the sampling assembly from the mounting housing through the second handle.

[0013] It is further defined that a connecting block is fixedly installed on the box body, and a connecting groove is provided on the inner wall of the second cover plate. In this arrangement, the connecting block is snapped into the connecting groove, and the second cover plate is tightly covered on the box body, thereby preventing the cigarettes after sampling from contacting the outside world for the second time and affecting the performance of the cigarettes.

[0014] It is further defined that the fixing frame is transparent, which makes it easy for the operator to observe the sliding of the cigarette at any time, thereby facilitating the closing of the discharge slot through the baffle when appropriate.

[0015] The invention adopting the above technical solution has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. When sampling is required, the second cover is rotated upward until it contacts the outer wall of the box body, exposing the interior space of the box body. The operator then tilts the box body at a certain angle by holding the handle, allowing the second cover to slowly insert into the cigarette production line. At this point, the box body is positioned above the cigarettes, and the interaction between the continuously moving cigarettes allows the cigarettes to slowly enter the box body through the second cover. This prevents the operator from manually grabbing multiple cigarettes, which may cause deformation and weight changes, and also avoids the problem of taking a single cigarette, which is too time-consuming. After sampling is completed, the second cover is flipped over and the box body is tightly closed to prevent the sampled cigarettes from being affected by the outside world.

[0017] 2. Place the sampling box in the holder. When testing is required, remove the mounting housing and rotate the first rotating lever to open the baffle, allowing the cigarette to slide out of the holder along the first sliding slot and directly onto the test bench for weight, circumference, hardness, and appearance. Rotate the second rotating lever to allow the cigarette to slide along the second sliding slot and then turn to slide out of the holder through the through slot and directly onto the test bench for empty end and draw resistance. This makes it easier for the operator to directly fix the cigarette, reduces the chance of the operator touching the cigarette, and minimizes the impact on the cigarette performance test results.

[0018] 3. The fixing frame is transparent, which facilitates the control of the number of cigarettes sliding out through the first sliding slot and the second sliding slot during testing. On the one hand, it saves testing costs, and on the other hand, it avoids damage to cigarettes caused by arbitrarily closing the discharge slot through the baffle. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0035] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, a sampling device for cigarette detection of the present invention includes a mounting shell assembly and a sampling assembly, and the sampling assembly is installed in the mounting shell assembly. The mounting shell assembly includes a mounting shell 1, a first cover plate 11, and a snap-on assembly. The first cover plate 11 is rotatably mounted on the mounting shell 1. A first handle 12 is fixedly mounted on the first cover plate 11. The first handle 12 facilitates the movement of the entire mounting shell assembly and the sampling assembly. The snap-on assembly includes a V-shaped plate 14 and a snap-on block 13. The V-shaped plate 14 is fixedly mounted on one side of the first cover plate 11. The snap-on block 13 is fixedly mounted on the mounting shell 1 and corresponds to the position of the V-shaped plate 14. A clamping groove 130 is provided on the clamping block 13, and the V-shaped plate 14 is clamped in the clamping groove 130. A first clamping strip 141 is fixedly provided at one end of the V-shaped plate 14, and a second clamping strip 131 is fixedly provided in the clamping groove 130 on the clamping block 13. By engaging the first clamping strip 141 and the second clamping strip 131, the V-shaped plate 14 is clamped in the clamping groove 130, thereby fastening the first cover plate 11 and the mounting shell 1 to each other.

[0036] The sampling assembly includes a fixing frame 2 and a sampling box 3. The fixing frame 2 is provided with a first mounting slot 21, and the sampling box 3 is placed in the first mounting slot 21. The sampling box 3 includes a box body 30 and a second cover plate 33. The cross-section of the box body 30 is trapezoidal, and the second cover plate 33 is rotatably mounted on the box body 30. A discharge slot 351 is provided at the bottom of the box body 30. A baffle 35 is rotatably mounted on the box body 30 at the position of the discharge slot 351. The baffle 35 closes the discharge slot 351, allowing cigarettes to be loaded into the box body 30. A first rotating rod 32 is fixedly mounted on the baffle 35. One end of the first rotating rod 32 is rotatably mounted on a side wall of the box body 30, and the other end is rotatably mounted outside the box body 30. The rotation of the baffle 35 can be controlled by the first rotating rod 32, thereby opening and closing the discharge slot 351, and further controlling the number of cigarettes that slide out. The box body 30 defines a first groove 301 at the location of the first rotating rod 32. A second groove 302 is defined at the bottom of the first groove 301. The first groove 301 and the second groove 302 are connected. A spring 303 is installed in the second groove 302. A block 304 is installed in the second groove 302. Both sides of one end of the block 304 are inclined. One end of the spring 303 is connected to the bottom of the second groove 302, and the other end is connected to one end of the block 304. The spring 303 enables the block 304 to move within the second groove 302. A fixing block 36 is fixedly mounted in the first groove 301 of the first rotating rod 32. The fixing block 36 cooperates with the block 304 to prevent the first rotating rod 32 from rotating when the baffle 35 is closed. Several anti-slip grooves 321 are defined at the end of the first rotating rod 32 to facilitate rotation of the first rotating rod 32 by the operator. A handle 31 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the box body 30, making it easier for the operator to use the sampling box 3. A connecting block 34 is fixedly mounted on the box body 30, and a connecting groove 331 is defined on the inner wall of the second cover plate 33. The connecting block 34 is snapped into the connecting groove 331, tightly covering the second cover plate 33 on the box body 30 to prevent the sampled cigarette from coming into contact with the outside world again.

[0037] The fixing frame 2 is provided with a third groove 201, which is connected to the first mounting groove 21. The fixing frame 2 is provided with a first sliding groove 202, which is connected to the third groove 201. The fixing frame 2 is provided with a second sliding groove 203, which is connected to the third groove 201. The fixing frame 2 is provided with a through groove 24, which is connected to the second sliding groove 203. The fixing frame 2 is fixed with a corner block 28 at the position of the second sliding groove 203. The corner block 28 can be used to turn the cigarette that slides horizontally downward so that the cigarette can slide vertically out of the through groove 24. The fixing frame 2 is covered by the mounting shell 1 to prevent external dust and other impurities from entering the first sliding groove 202, the through groove 24, and the second sliding groove 203, thereby affecting the test performance of the cigarette. A rotation slot 204 is defined on the fixed frame 2 between the first sliding slot 202 and the second sliding slot 203. The rotation slot 204 communicates with the first sliding slot 202, the second sliding slot 203, and the third groove 201. A rotation plate 27 is mounted within the rotation slot 204. A second rotation rod 26 is fixedly inserted into the middle of the rotation plate 27. One end of the second rotation rod 26 is rotatably mounted on one side of the fixed frame 2, while the other end extends beyond the fixed frame 2. The second rotation rod 26 controls the rotation of the rotation plate 27 within the rotation slot 204, thereby cooperating with the baffle 35 to close or open the second sliding slot 203. A second mounting slot 25 is defined on the fixed frame 2 at the location of the second rotation rod 26. The second mounting slot 25 communicates with the rotation slot 204 and facilitates the installation of the rotation plate 27. The fixed frame 2 is transparent, allowing the operator to readily observe the movement of cigarettes.

[0038] A notch 22 is provided on the fixing frame 2 at the position of the handle 31, which facilitates the operator to place and take out the sampling box 3. A second handle 23 is fixedly mounted on the fixing frame 2, which facilitates the operator to place and take out the sampling assembly from the mounting housing 1.

[0039] In this embodiment, when in use, the sampling device is brought to the crimping process via the first handle 12, and then the V-shaped plate 14 is pressed to open the first cover 11. The fixing frame 2 is lifted upward by the second handle 23 to fully expose the sampling box 3. The sampling box 3 is taken out of the fixing frame 2 by the handle 31, and the fixing frame 2 is slowly returned to the mounting housing 1.

[0040] The second cover 33 is rotated upward to expose the interior space of the box body 30, and then the second cover 33 is rotated until it contacts the outer wall of the box body 30. The operator then tilts the box body 30 at a certain angle by holding the handle 31, and slowly inserts the second cover 33 into the cigarette production line. At this time, the box body 30 is positioned above the cigarettes, and the interaction between the continuously moving cigarettes causes the cigarettes to slowly enter the box body 30 through the second cover 33. This prevents the operator from manually grabbing multiple cigarettes, which may cause deformation and weight changes, and also avoids the problem of taking out a single cigarette, which would waste too much time.

[0041] The sampling box 3 can hold 200 cigarettes, meeting the requirements of cigarette physical property testing. After cigarette sampling is completed, the second cover 33 is flipped over so that the connecting block 34 is engaged with the connecting groove 331, thereby sealing the cigarettes in the sampling box 3, preventing external dust and other impurities from affecting the performance of the cigarettes, and also preventing the volatilization of moisture and flavor in the cigarettes.

[0042] Open the first cover 11, pull out the fixing frame 2, and fully expose the first mounting slot 21. Place the sampling box 3 in the first mounting slot 21, slide the fixing frame 2 into the mounting housing 1, close the first cover 11, and bring the sampling device to the laboratory. Remove the mounting housing 1. When testing cigarette properties such as length, circumference, appearance, and hardness, rotate and open the baffle 35 to connect the discharge slot 351 with the first sliding slot 202, allowing the cigarette to slide horizontally out of the fixing frame 2 and onto the test bench to avoid secondary contact with the cigarette, which may affect its performance.

[0043] When it is necessary to test the performance of the cigarette such as the empty end and the draw resistance, the second rotating rod 26 is rotated to make the rotating plate 27 close the first sliding groove 202 and connect with the baffle 35, so that the discharge groove 351 is connected with the second sliding groove 203, so that the cigarette slides horizontally first until it hits the corner block 28, causing the cigarette to slide from horizontal to vertical, slide out of the through groove 24, and reach the empty end and draw resistance test bench, so that the operator can directly fix the cigarette for convenient testing.

[0044] The above describes in detail the cigarette sampling device provided by the present invention. The description of the specific embodiments is intended only to facilitate understanding of the present invention's method and its core concept. It should be noted that those skilled in the art will be able to make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications fall within the scope of protection of the claims.
