Detailed Implementation

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 3-5 As shown, a multifunctional cigarette identification and inspection tool includes a handle 1 and an observation tube 2; the observation tube 2 is connected to the handle 1; when inspecting the cigarette packaging, the handle 1 can be held and the cigarette packaging can be observed through the observation tube 2 connected to the handle 1.

[0031] It also includes an ultraviolet light strip 3, an LED light strip 4, a bottom cover 6, and an observation component; the ultraviolet light strip 3 and the LED light strip 4 are respectively installed inside the lower side of the observation tube 2; the bottom cover 6 is connected to the lower side of the observation tube 2. The bottom cover 6 is made of frosted material to avoid light reflection, and a pull tab insertion hole 6001 is provided on the bottom cover 6; the observation component is provided on the observation tube 2; when inspecting the cigarette packaging, the anti-counterfeiting mark on the cigarette can be inspected by irradiating it with the ultraviolet light strip 3 on the observation tube 2; when observing the pull tab of the cigarette packaging, first insert the seal into the pull tab insertion hole 6001, then turn on the LED light strip 4 to illuminate the observation position, and finally observe the pull tab through the observation component.

[0032] The observation assembly includes an eyepiece tube 101, an observation eyepiece, an objective tube 103, and an observation objective. The eyepiece tube 101 is mounted on the observation tube 2. The observation eyepiece is mounted on the eyepiece tube 101. The objective tube 103 is connected to the lower side of the eyepiece tube 101 by a thread. The observation objective is mounted on the objective tube 103. When observing cigarettes and their packaging, rotating the eyepiece tube 101 causes the objective tube 103 and the observation objective below the eyepiece tube 101 to rise or fall, thereby adjusting the magnification for easier observation.

[0033] The pull tab insertion hole 6001 is set at an angle upward. When the pull tab is inserted into the pull tab insertion hole 6001, the seal can be tilted upward, which can effectively observe the shape characteristics of the pull tab.

[0034] The bottom cover 6 is provided with a fixing hole 6002, and the fixing hole 6002 is set at an angle upward. When inspecting the state of the cigarette after it is lit, the end of the cigarette that needs to be lit is inserted into the fixing hole 6002 on the bottom cover 6 and lit. Then the bottom cover 6 is installed on the observation tube 2, and the state of the cigarette after it is lit is observed through the observation component.

[0035] The thickness of the bottom cover 6 near the pull tab insertion hole 6001 is thinner than that of the bottom cover 6 near the fixing hole 6002, which helps to increase the observation range of the pull tab. When observing the pull tab of the seal, because the pull tab occupies a relatively short position on the seal, the thinner bottom cover 6 near the pull tab insertion hole 6001 allows most of the pull tab to be inserted into the pull tab insertion hole 6001, thus increasing the observation range of the pull tab.

[0036] The observation tube 2 has a smoke outlet 2001 on its side wall, and the smoke outlet 2001 is shaped like a trumpet. When observing the state of the cigarette after it is lit, the smoke outlet 2001, which is shaped like a trumpet, can quickly discharge the smoke produced by the cigarette after it is lit in the observation tube 2 by means of pressure difference. That is, it does not affect the observation of the state of the cigarette after it is lit, and the cigarette can be identified by the smoke discharged from the smoke outlet 2001.

[0037] With a top-down view as a reference, the ultraviolet light strip 3 and the LED light strip 4 are set at an angle downwards, which helps the light to converge towards the center and facilitates observation of cigarettes and their packaging.

[0038] The bottom cover 6 and the observation tube 2 are fixed by magnetic attraction, which allows the bottom cover 6 to be easily removed or installed at the bottom of the observation tube 2.

[0039] The specific process of observing the cigarette packaging and the cigarette combustion state in this invention is as follows;

[0040] When observing the cigarette packaging to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit cigarettes, first remove the bottom cover 6 on the lower side of the observation tube 2. Then, turn on the ultraviolet light strip 3 inside the observation tube 2 to illuminate the anti-counterfeiting label on the cigarette outer packaging box. Use ultraviolet light to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit cigarettes. When observing the patterns and textures on the cigarette outer packaging box, rotate the eyepiece tube 101 to move the objective lens tube 103 below the eyepiece tube 101 and the observation objective lens up and down. Observe different areas of the packaging box at different magnifications. Distinguish between genuine and counterfeit cigarettes by the differences in patterns and textures on the surface of the packaging box. When observing the pull tab of the cigarette outer protective film seal, first, install the bottom cover 6 onto the observation tube 2 using a magnetic attachment. Then, turn on the LED light strip 4 on the observation tube 2 to illuminate the upper surface of the bottom cover 6. Finally, insert the pull tab on the seal into the pull tab insertion hole 6001 on the bottom cover 6, which is set at an angle, so that the pull tab is close to a flat state, which is conducive to observation. The shape and roughness of the pull tab are used to identify genuine and counterfeit cigarettes. When observing the state of the cigarette after it is lit, first insert the end of the cigarette to be lit into the fixing hole 6002 on the bottom cover 6, which is set at an angle. This tilts the cigarette, making it easier to observe the state of the cigarette after it is lit. Then, install the bottom cover 6 onto the observation tube 2 and turn on the LED light strip 4 on the observation tube 2 to illuminate and supplement the light inside the observation tube 2. At the same time, the smoke outlet 2001 on the observation tube 2 is set in the shape of a trumpet. Due to the pressure difference between the inside and outside, the smoke inside the observation tube 2 can be drawn out to the outside, allowing the smoke inside the observation tube 2 to dissipate quickly. This allows for a clearer observation of the state of the cigarette after it is lit, preventing the smoke from affecting the observation of the combustion state of the cigarette after it is lit. At the same time, the smoke discharged from the smoke outlet 2001 can be identified. By observing the combustion state of the cigarette after it is lit and the smoke after it is lit, the authenticity of the cigarette can be identified.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 6-8 As shown, it also includes a nut 201, a mold screw 202, and a cover 5; a nut 201 is provided on the fixing hole 6002 of the bottom cover 6; a mold screw 202 is provided on the nut 201; a mold compartment 1001 is provided on the handle 1; a cover 5 is provided on the handle 1; when observing the state after the cigarette is lit, first insert the cigarette into the mold screw 202. Different sizes of cigarettes can be replaced with different models of mold screws 202. Then screw the mold screw 202 into the nut 201 to fix the cigarette, making it more portable and more adaptable. The used mold screw 202 can be directly put into the mold compartment 1001, and then the cover 5 is used to cover the mold compartment 1001 to achieve dust prevention and protection.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] Based on Example 2, such as Figure 9As shown, it also includes a cigarette extinguishing cover 301; the cigarette extinguishing cover 301 is provided on the nut 201, and the cigarette extinguishing cover 301 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides, which is conducive to observing the cigarette after it is lit, and will not block the cigarette; when the cigarette burns to the cigarette extinguishing cover 301 on the nut 201, the cigarette extinguishing cover 301 closes and automatically extinguishes the cigarette.

[0045] The specific process of fixing and extinguishing cigarettes according to the present invention is as follows:

[0046] Before observing the lit state of the cigarette, first insert the cigarette into the mold screw 202. Different mold screws 202 can be used for cigarettes of different thicknesses. Then, screw the mold screw 202 and the cigarette together into the nut 201 on the bottom cover 6 to fix the cigarette. When the mold screw 202 is screwed in, the cigarette will push the two symmetrical extinguishing covers 301 on the left and right sides of the nut 201 open to the left and right. Then, light the cigarette and observe its state after it is lit. When the cigarette has burned down to the extinguishing cover 301, the extinguishing cover 301 will gradually close as the cigarette burns down, isolating the burning part of the cigarette from the air and extinguishing the cigarette, thus preventing people from being burned when they remove the cigarette.

[0047] Example 4

[0048] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, it also includes calipers 7; calipers 7 are provided on the handle 1, and a horizontal protrusion is provided on the connecting shaft between calipers 7 and handle 1, which makes it easy to pry out calipers 7 when measuring cigarette size; when it is necessary to measure whether the cigarette size is qualified, the protrusion on the connecting shaft between calipers 7 and handle 1 is fastened, and calipers 7 is pried out and placed in a parallel state with handle 1, so that cigarettes can be measured.

[0049] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be made to the invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention as defined by the claims. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments in this disclosure is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the invention; rather, the scope of protection is defined by the content of the claims.
