Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cigarette detection technology, and more specifically, relates to a method for detecting the maximum length of the cigarette combustion cone. Background Technology

[0002] The maximum length of the cigarette combustion cone refers to the maximum distance between the cigarette combustion line and the end of the combustion cone. It is one of the important indicators of smoke emissions. Since cigarette smoke contains a variety of harmful substances, such as carbon monoxide, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, these substances are harmful to the environment and human health. The maximum length of the cigarette combustion cone is one of the important reference parameters for assessing the impact of cigarette smoke emissions on environmental quality.

[0003] The combustion line refers to the portion of the cigarette paper that burns during smoking and static burning. The end of the combustion cone is the furthest point of the combustion cone corresponding to the combustion line. The length of the combustion cone is a major factor affecting the burning of cigarette butts, and the problem of cigarette butts falling off has been a long-standing challenge for cigarette manufacturers, seriously impacting the consumer experience. Furthermore, the establishment of a method for measuring the maximum length of the cigarette combustion cone is also intended to strengthen and strictly regulate environmental protection and hygiene standards in the tobacco industry.

[0004] Currently, most methods for measuring the length of the combustion cone use traditional methods, which can lead to insufficient accuracy in the measurement results because cigarette combustion is a dynamic process. Summary of the Invention

[0011] S40: Repeat the operations of S10-S30 under the same conditions.

[0012] Light the cigarette, start the smoking machine to inhale the cigarette, and press the shutter of the high-definition camera before taking the second puff to record the process of inhaling the cigarette using the smoking machine.

[0013] The phrase "repeating the above operations under the same conditions" refers to the same batch of cigarette samples being tested in the same laboratory, using the same testing instrument, and by the same operator within a short period of time.

[0014] The high-definition camera used is one with a resolution of 4K or higher.

[0015] Based on the above technical solution, the method for detecting the maximum length of a cigarette combustion cone according to the present invention can be further improved as follows:

[0032] Furthermore, the specific steps for performing frame processing on the video data to obtain the image corresponding to the moment the cigarette was smoked include:

[0053] The second step is to fix cigarettes of different lengths on the smoking machine and take pictures of the cigarettes using the high-definition camera.

[0054] The third step is to use the electronic measuring ruler to measure the length of the cigarette captured by the high-definition camera, and use the vernier caliper to measure the actual length of the cigarette. The length of the cigarette captured by the high-definition camera is compared with the actual length of the cigarette to calculate the internal and external parameters of the high-definition camera.

[0055] The fourth step is to use the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the high-definition camera to perform global binding and adjustment of the high-definition camera, and establish the three-dimensional corresponding model.

[0056] Furthermore, the specific steps for globally binding and adjusting the high-definition camera using its intrinsic and extrinsic parameters include:

The cigarette combustion cone is placed on a black background board, and a light is used to illuminate the cigarette combustion cone. The brightness and intensity of the light are adjusted to ensure that the image captured by the high-definition camera has the best clarity.

[0062] The cigarette testing conditions are a constant temperature and humidity environment with a temperature of 20-25℃ and a relative humidity of 40%-70%.

[0063] Furthermore, the smoking machine is a single-channel smoking machine, which is used to hold the cigarette and ignite and inhale the cigarette, with the inhalation parameters being autonomously adjustable.

The fourth step is to use the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the high-definition camera to perform global binding and adjustment of the high-definition camera, and establish the three-dimensional corresponding model.

6. The method for detecting the maximum length of a cigarette combustion cone according to claim 5, characterized in that, The specific steps for globally binding and adjusting the high-definition camera using its internal and external parameters include: The first step is to fix the internal parameters of the high-definition camera and the actual length of the cigarette, and then adjust the external parameters of the cigarette image captured by the high-definition camera. The second step is to fix the external parameters of the cigarette image captured by the high-definition camera and the actual length of the cigarette, and then adjust the internal parameters of the high-definition camera. The third step is to fix the actual length of the cigarette and adjust the internal and external parameters of the high-definition camera.

7. The method for detecting the maximum length of a cigarette combustion cone according to claim 6, characterized in that, The specific steps for adjusting the cigarette measurement environment include: The environment for measuring the cigarette combustion cone is adjusted to meet the cigarette detection conditions. The cigarette combustion cone is placed on a black background board, and a light is used to illuminate the cigarette combustion cone. The brightness and intensity of the light are adjusted to ensure that the image captured by the high-definition camera has the best clarity.

8. The method for detecting the maximum length of a cigarette combustion cone according to claim 7, characterized in that, The smoking machine is a single-channel smoking machine, which is used to hold the cigarette and ignite and smoke it, with the smoking parameters being automatically adjustable.
