Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of tobacco production and processing, and in particular relates to a puff-by-puff collection rotary disc smoking machine and a method for heating cigarettes. Background Art

[0002] The statements herein merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Puff-by-puff smoke analysis is the most commonly used analysis method for heated cigarettes. It can detect the content of gaseous and particulate matter in each puff of heated cigarette smoke, and is used to compare the smoke changes of heated cigarettes at different puffs, providing data support for heated cigarette research. Since the smoke content of each puff of heated cigarettes is relatively small, in order to effectively capture enough smoke for chemical analysis, it is often necessary to capture the Nth puff of multiple cigarettes on a membrane.

[0004] In some smoking machines, a detachable collector with ends at both ends is used, and a corresponding membrane is arranged in the collector. When the smoke passes through the membrane, the membrane realizes the collection of gaseous and particulate matter in the smoke.

[0005] The inventors learned that when performing puff-by-puff analysis on existing linear smoking machines, it is necessary to manually change cigarettes continuously, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the timing must be well controlled. It is basically impossible to ensure the consistency of test conditions and results, and it is basically impossible to complete puff-by-puff capture analysis on linear smoking machines. Horizontal turntable smoking machines use expensive manipulators to replace cigarettes, which have complex mechanical structures and are inconvenient to use and debug. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a rotating disc smoking machine and method for heating cigarettes puff by puff collection, which can solve at least one of the above technical problems.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, one or more embodiments of the present disclosure provide a heated cigarette puff-by-puff capture-type turntable smoking machine, comprising a turntable, a fixed plate, a collector plate and a push plate, which are arranged in sequence with horizontal and coaxial axes, the fixed plate being fixed by a frame, the turntable having a plurality of cigarette insertion holes penetrating the turntable along the circumferential direction; the outer circular side surface of the collector plate having a plurality of mounting grooves for accommodating the collectors along the circumferential direction; the fixed plate having a first through hole with an axis parallel to the axis of the turntable, the push plate having a second through hole coaxial with the first through hole, the second through hole being connected to a suction mechanism.

[0008] The turntable and the collector plate can rotate along the axis respectively, so that the first through hole, the second through hole coincide with the axes of different collectors and cigarette insertion holes; the collector plate and the push plate can move horizontally along the axis respectively, and change the distance between the push plate and the collector plate fixing plate.

[0009] One or more embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a method for collecting smoke puff by puff, comprising the following steps:

[0010] Insert a cigarette into the cigarette insertion hole;

[0011] Any cigarette plug hole is aligned with the first through hole, and any catcher is aligned with the first through hole, so that the cigarette in the current cigarette plug hole is heated and the first puff is completed; then the turntable rotates so that the remaining cigarette plug holes are aligned with the first through hole in turn, and the first puff of all cigarettes is completed;

[0012] The collector plate rotates at a set angle, and the next collector is aligned with the first through hole, and the rotating disk is rotated in sequence, so that the next collector completes the second puff of all cigarettes;

[0013] The Nth collector is used in sequence to complete the smoke collection when the Nth puff is taken from all the cigarettes.

[0014] When the cigarette is smoked: the distance between the fixed plate, the collector plate and the push plate is set so that the cigarette insertion hole, the first through hole, the collector and the second through hole can form a gas passage;

[0015] When the collector plate rotates, the distances between the fixed plate, the collector plate and the push plate are set such that the rotation of the collector plate is not interfered with.

[0016] Beneficial effects of one or more of the above technical solutions:

[0017] The present invention uses a collector disk and a rotating disk that can rotate independently. The collector disk and the rotating disk are respectively equipped with a collector and a cigarette, and a first through hole is set on the fixed disk, and a second through hole is set on the push disk, so that the cigarette plug hole, the first through hole, the inner cavity of the collector and the second through hole form a smoking passage. As the collector disk and the rotating disk rotate, each collector can be connected to different cigarettes respectively, so that the smoke of each cigarette can be collected puff by puff. Each collector can collect the same number of puffs of smoke from different cigarettes, so that the collector obtains enough smoke, which is convenient for subsequent smoke analysis.

[0018] After the cigarettes are installed once, the rotation of the turntable allows different cigarettes to automatically align with different collectors at different times, avoiding the process of replacing cigarettes by robots or manually, and improving the efficiency of smoke collection puff by puff.

[0019] The collector plate and the push plate can be moved along the axis respectively, so that the distance between the collector plate, the push plate and the fixed plate can be adjusted and fixed, so that the collector plate will not be interfered by the position of the push plate and the fixed plate when rotating.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] Example 1

[0045] like Figure 1-Figure 18As shown, the present embodiment provides a heated cigarette puff-by-puff capture type turntable smoking machine, comprising a turntable 12, a fixed plate 6, a collector plate 13 and a push plate 26, which are arranged in sequence with horizontal and coaxial axes, the fixed plate 6 being fixed by a frame 3, and the turntable 12 has a plurality of cigarette insertion holes penetrating through it along the circumferential direction; the outer circular side surface of the collector plate 13 has a plurality of mounting grooves 1305 for accommodating the collector 8 along the circumferential direction; the fixed plate 6 has a first through hole with an axis parallel to the axis of the turntable 12, and the push plate 26 has a second through hole coaxial with the first through hole, and the second through hole is connected to the suction mechanism; the turntable 12 and the collector plate 13 can rotate along the axis respectively, so that the first through hole, the second through hole and the axis of different collectors 8 and cigarette insertion holes coincide; the collector plate 13 and the push plate 26 can move horizontally along the axis respectively, so as to change the distance between the push plate 26 and the collector plate 13, and between the collector plate 13 and the fixed plate 6.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, four coaxial disk structures are provided, wherein the turntable 12, the fixed disk 6, the collector disk 13 and the push disk 26 are all disk-shaped structures, a fixed plate is provided at the outer circumference of the fixed disk 6, and the fixed plate is fixed to the frame 3 by bolt connectors, and the push disk 26 does not need to rotate, but only needs to be able to move horizontally along its own axis.

[0047] like Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a schematic diagram of the structure of a collector 8, which adopts an existing structure, including a first shell 801 and a second shell 802, the first shell 801 and the second shell 802 enclose an inner cavity, the diaphragm 804 is arranged in the inner cavity, the first shell 801 and the second shell 802 are respectively provided with a terminal 803, the terminal 803 has a suction hole 805 connected to the inner cavity, and the two suction holes 805 are coaxially arranged with the central axis of the collector 8. When suction is performed, the suction hole 805 is aligned with and connected to the first through hole and the second through hole.

[0048] In order to facilitate the sealed connection between the suction hole and the first through hole, a silicone sleeve 62 is installed at the first through hole. The silicone sleeve 62 is coaxially arranged with the first through hole.

[0049] In this embodiment, the second through hole is connected to one end of the suction pipe 9, and the other end of the suction pipe 9 is connected to the negative pressure suction assembly, which includes an air pump and a motor that drives the air pump to rotate. A silicone sleeve is provided at one end of the second through hole close to the suction hole in the collector to facilitate sealed communication between the second through hole and the suction hole.

[0050] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the alignment of the cigarette with the cigarette insertion hole and achieve a sealed connection, a cigarette holding nozzle 14 with a silicone sleeve structure is provided at the end of the cigarette insertion hole away from the fixed plate.

[0051] The thickness of the collector plate 13 is smaller than the thickness of the collector 8 along its own axial direction, so that the two ends 803 of the collector plate 13 protrude outward from the collector plate 13 .

[0052] The collector plate 13 includes two coaxial circular plates 1301 with a set gap, and the mounting groove 1305 includes notches provided at the two circular plates 1301 .

[0053] In one of the structural forms, a coaxial main shaft 28 is fixed at the center of the turntable 12. The rotation of the main shaft 28 can drive the rotation of the turntable 12. The main shaft 28 passes through the center positions of the fixed plate 6, the collector plate 13 and the push plate 26 in sequence. A coaxial rotating sleeve 1303 is fixed at the center of the collector plate 13. The rotating sleeve 1303 is sleeved on the outside of the main shaft 28. The rotation of the rotating sleeve 1303 and the rotation of the main shaft 28 do not affect each other. Therefore, the turntable 12 and the collector plate 13 can rotate independently, and the push plate 26 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating sleeve 1303.

[0054] Specifically, the collector plate 13 is composed of a rotating sleeve 1303, a circular plate 1301, a limit stop ring 1304 and a driving gear ring 1302. The rotating sleeve 1303 is coaxially sleeved on the outside of the main shaft 28, and the circular plate 1301, the limit stop ring 1304 and the driving gear ring 1302 are coaxially fixed on the outside of the rotating sleeve 1303 respectively. The driving gear ring, the limit stop ring 1304 and the circular plate 1301 are arranged in sequence along the direction close to the fixed plate 6.

[0055] In this embodiment, in order to change the distance between the collector plate 13, the push plate 26 and the fixed plate 6, a linear drive mechanism is set at the push plate 26. The linear drive mechanism here can adopt an electric push rod, a cylinder 10 and other structures. The electric push rod or the extension rod of the cylinder 10 is fixed to the push plate, and the push plate 26 is driven to reciprocate along the axial direction of the main shaft 28 through the extension and retraction of the extension rod. In order to reduce the drive and ensure that the movement of the collector plate 13 along the axial direction of the main shaft 28 does not affect its own rotation, the push plate 26 is set to a circular ring structure. The push plate 26 is between the limit stop ring 1304 and the drive gear ring 1302. There is a certain gap space between the inner wall surface of the push plate 26 and the outer wall surface of the rotating sleeve 1303. After the push plate 26 moves in the direction away from the fixed plate 6 to a set distance, it will contact the drive gear ring 1302 and drive the collector plate 13 to move in the direction away from the fixed plate 6; after the push plate 26 moves in the direction close to the fixed plate 6 to a set distance, it will contact the limit stop ring 1304 and drive the collector plate 13 to move in the direction close to the fixed plate 6.

[0056] In this embodiment, in order to limit the position of the catcher plate 13 when it moves in the direction of the axis of the main shaft 28, a limiting protrusion adapted to the rotating sleeve 1303 can be provided on the main shaft 28. In other embodiments, the stroke of the linear drive component after full retraction can replace the limiting protrusion structure on the side of the main shaft 28 away from the fixed plate 6.

[0057] In this embodiment, the push plate 26 is not in contact with the main shaft 28 and the rotating sleeve 1303. In order to limit the push plate 26, a plurality of guide rods are fixedly arranged at the push plate 26. The guide rods are parallel to the central axis of the push plate. The other ends of the guide rods pass through the linear bearings 29 to achieve guidance. The linear bearings 29 are fixed by the frame. The end of the guide rods away from the fixed plate 6 is fixed to the frame 3. The guide rods and the guide holes are parallel to the axis of the main shaft 28. One end of the linear drive component is fixed to the frame 3, and the other end is fixed to the push plate 26.

[0058] In order to realize the driving of the main shaft 28, a first synchronous pulley 281 is installed at the end of the main shaft 28 away from the fixed disk 6, and a second synchronous pulley 283 is installed at the frame 3. The first synchronous pulley 281 and the second synchronous pulley 283 are connected by a first synchronous belt 282. The rotation of the second synchronous pulley 283 can drive the first synchronous pulley 281 to rotate. A first motor is installed at the frame 3, and the output shaft of the first motor is coaxially fixed with the second synchronous pulley 283.

[0059] In order to realize the driving of the collector disk 13 during rotation, a driving gear ring 1302 is utilized in the present embodiment. The outer circular side surface of the driving gear ring 1302 is surrounded by meshing teeth. The driving gear ring 1302 meshes with the driving teeth to realize gear transmission. The rotating shaft of the driving teeth is coaxially fixed with the third synchronous pulley 32. The third synchronous pulley 32 is connected to the fourth synchronous pulley 322 through the second synchronous belt 321. The rotating shaft of the fourth synchronous pulley 322 is coaxially fixed with the output column of the second motor. The body of the second motor is fixed by the frame 3.

[0060] In order to prevent the collector 8 from falling off from the notch, a limiting cylinder 5 coaxial with the collector plate 13 is sleeved on the outside. In order to reduce weight, a weight-reducing hole 502 is provided on the limiting cylinder 5; the upper part of the limiting cylinder 5 has an opening 501, and a collector supply mechanism 1 is provided above the limiting cylinder 5, and the outlet of the collector supply mechanism 1 is directly above the opening 501. The frame 3 includes a support plate 2, and the collector supply mechanism 1 includes a first inclined plate 101 disposed above the support plate 2 and tilted downward, and a second inclined plate 105 disposed below the support plate 2 and tilted downward, the lower end of the first inclined plate 101 is aligned with the material leakage port in the support plate 2, the upper end of the second inclined plate 105 is aligned with the material leakage port, and the lower end is aligned with the opening 501. The first inclined plate 101 and the second inclined plate 105 are respectively provided with guide grooves 104 for accommodating the collector plate 13.

[0061] Specifically, the higher end of the first inclined plate 101 is supported by the upper end of the bracket 102, the bracket 102 is vertically arranged, and the lower end of the bracket 102 is fixed to the upper surface of the support plate 2. When the catcher 8 slides down from the upper surface of the second inclined plate 105, the catcher 8 has an inclined downward motion trajectory. In order to change the motion trajectory of the catcher 8 to vertically downward so as to fall into the opening 501, a stopper 106 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support plate, and the stopper 106 is vertically arranged.

[0062] An intermittent blocking mechanism is provided at the end of the first inclined plate 101 for intermittently controlling the collector plate 13 to fall into the material leakage port.

[0063] In this embodiment, a plurality of cigarette clamps 17 are installed on the surface of the turntable 12. Each cigarette clamp 17 is adapted to a cigarette insertion hole. The cigarette clamp 17 can clamp or release the smoking utensils 18. The cigarette clamp 17 can move and be fixed along the radial direction of the turntable 12 so that smoking utensils 18 of different sizes can be aligned with the center of the cigarette insertion hole.

[0064] The cigarette clamp 17 is used to clamp the smoking utensil 18, in which the cigarette 19 is inserted. The cigarette clamp 17 adopts the existing technology, such as the applicant's prior application CN2020221330854, a technical solution in a tobacco smoking utensil clamp, which gives in detail a clamp for a smoking machine for clamping smoking utensil.

[0065] In order to guide the cigarette clamp 17 when it rotates along the radial direction of the turntable 12, in this embodiment, a slider 17 is provided on the base of the cigarette clamp 17, and a linear slide rail 1702 is provided on the surface of the turntable 12. The slider 17 can move along the linear slide rail 1702, and the linear slide rail 1702 is arranged along the radial direction of the turntable 12.

[0066] In order to realize the synchronous movement of multiple cigarette clamps 17 along the corresponding linear slide rails 1702, so that the centers of the cigarette utensils 18 at different cigarette clamps 17 are simultaneously aligned with the centers of the corresponding cigarette insertion holes: an adjusting disk 24 is rotatably installed at the end face of the turntable 12 away from the fixed disk 6. The adjusting disk 24 is a circular disk structure. A plurality of inclined grooves 25 are evenly distributed on the circumference of the adjusting disk 24. The inclined grooves 25 are long strips. The plurality of inclined grooves 25 form a circular array along the circumferential direction of the adjusting disk 24. The inclined grooves 25 form an acute angle with the radial direction of the adjusting disk 24. A guide column 1703 is arranged in the inclined groove 25. The guide column 1703 is fixed on one side of the cigarette clamp 17 close to the center of the adjusting disk 24. The adjusting disk 24 rotates so that the inclined grooves 25 push the guide column 1703 to move along the linear slide rail 1702.

[0067] In order to fix the adjusting disk 24 after it rotates along the rotating disk 12, in this embodiment, a plurality of adjusting rods 20 are rotatably connected to the circumference of the adjusting disk 24, and the plurality of adjusting rods are arranged in an array along the circumferential direction of the rotating disk. A locking bolt 21 is installed at the other end of the adjusting rod 20, and a locking seat 22 adapted to the locking bolt 21 is provided at the circumference of the rotating disk 12, and an arc groove 23 is provided in the locking seat 22, and the locking bolt 21 can be inserted into the arc groove 23, and the locking bolt 21 can slide and lock along the arc groove 23, so that the adjusting disk 24 can be fixed after it rotates along the rotating disk 12.

[0068] On the basis of the above-mentioned cigarette clamp 17 previously applied for by the applicant, in order to provide pneumatic power to the cigarette clamp 17, an air pump is arranged on the side of the frame 3 away from the turntable 12, and the air pump introduces the air source into the cigarette clamp 17 on the side of the turntable 12 away from the fixed plate 6 through the air pipe. In order to prevent the multiple air pipes from being entangled with each other during the rotation of the turntable 12, the main shaft 28 adopts a hollow shaft structure, and a coaxial electrical slip ring 27 is nested in the main shaft 28. The electrical slip ring 27 here is used to realize the rotational connection of the air pipe and can be purchased on the market.

[0069] In order to realize the installation of the electrical slip ring 27 , one end of the electrical slip ring 27 close to the turntable 12 is fixed to the turntable 12 , and the other end is rotatably installed at the stand 301 of the frame 3 through a supporting rotating rod.

[0070] A notch is provided at the lower part of the limiting cylinder 5, and the shape and size of the notch are set as follows: the collector 8 can be discharged from the notch, and a supporting plate 503 is provided at the notch, and the lower end of the notch is connected to the lifting mechanism so that the supporting plate 503 can intermittently block the notch; a weighing mechanism 15 is provided below the supporting plate 503, and the weighing mechanism 15 includes a weighing head, which can vertically pass through the through hole on the supporting plate 503 and realize the weighing of the collector plate 13 after it falls from the notch.

[0071] Specifically, the lifting mechanism in this embodiment can use a lifting cylinder 16 or a vertical electric push rod. Taking the lifting cylinder as an example, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder extends vertically upward, and the upper end of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the supporting plate. When the lifting cylinder retracts, the supporting plate moves downward, and then the weighing head passes through the through hole of the supporting plate. The catcher falls on the weighing head as the supporting plate falls, and is supported and weighed by the weighing head.

[0072] In this embodiment, in order to realize the unloading of the collector, an openable and closable discharge port is provided at the lower part of the limiting cylinder 5. The collector weighed from the supporting plate will move to the discharge port at the next station. When the collector needs to be discharged, the discharge port is opened, and the collector is separated from the collector plate and the limiting cylinder under the action of gravity, enters the subsequent capping link, and finally falls into the storage box 4.

[0073] The cover pressing mechanism of the collector can adopt the existing structure, which will not be described in detail here.

[0074] A cigarette clamp 17 is provided at the end surface of the rotating disk 12 facing away from the fixed disk 6 , and the cigarette clamp 17 can realize the sealed insertion of cigarettes 19 of different diameters at the cigarette holes 19 .

[0075] The intermittent blocking mechanism includes a swing cylinder 103, which is supported by a support plate 2. The output shaft of the swing cylinder 103 is fixed to a limit plate 103A. The limit plate 103A can be located on the right side or upper side of the end catcher 8 under the rotation of the motor.

[0076] In this embodiment, a temperature sensor 31 is provided at the fixing plate 6 for measuring the smoke temperature of the cigarette 19 in the smoking device 18 or for determining whether the cigarette 19 is normally heated and smoked or burned and smoked.

[0080] Loosen the locking bolt, turn the adjustment disk to make the cigarette holder move along the radius of the turntable, align the central axis of the cigarette in the cigarette holder with different cigarette insertion holes, and then insert the cigarette into the cigarette insertion hole with the cigarette holder;

[0081] Any one of the cigarette insertion holes is aligned with the first through hole, and any one of the collectors 8 is aligned with the first through hole, so that the cigarette in the current cigarette insertion hole is heated and the first puff is completed; then the turntable 12 rotates so that the remaining cigarette insertion holes are aligned with the first through hole in turn, and the first puff of all the cigarettes 19 is completed;

[0082] The collector plate 13 rotates at a set angle, and the next collector 8 is aligned with the first through hole, and the rotating disk 12 is rotated in sequence, so that the next collector 8 completes the second puff of all cigarettes 19;

[0083] The Nth collector 8 is used in sequence to complete the collection of smoke during the Nth puff of all cigarettes 19 .

[0084] When the cigarette 19 is smoked: the distance between the fixing plate 6, the collector plate 13 and the push plate 26 is set so that the cigarette insertion hole, the first through hole, the collector 8 and the second through hole can form a gas passage;

[0085] When the catcher disc 13 rotates, the distances between the fixed disc 6 , the catcher disc 13 and the push disc 26 are set such that the rotation of the catcher disc 13 is not interfered.

[0086] After the smoke is captured, each collector plate is located at the bottom of the limiting cylinder and is weighed by a weighing mechanism by dropping the supporting plate.

[0087] After the collector is weighed, it moves with the collector plate to the discharge port of the limiting cylinder, the discharge port opens, the collector enters the subsequent capping stage, and then falls into the storage box.

[0088] Although the above describes the specific implementation methods of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure. Technical personnel in the relevant field should understand that on the basis of the technical solution of the present disclosure, various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative work are still within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
