TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present document relates to the technical field of cigarette force collapse hollow detection, and particularly relates to a cigarette force collapse hollow detection method and device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Cigarette hollow is a key indicator affecting the quality of cigarettes, and is closely related to the tobacco filling structure and mechanical properties. During transportation, storage and consumption, the tobacco is prone to collapse under dynamic external forces such as impact, vibration or human tobacco, which leads to the expansion of the hollow and seriously affects the consumer experience. The existing detection method (such as GB / T 22838.9) can only detect static hollow, and cannot simulate the dynamic force process in the actual scene, making it difficult to accurately evaluate the anti-collapse ability of the cigarette under non-steady state conditions.
[0003] In recent years, with the popularity of new products such as medium cigarettes, slim cigarettes and heat-not-burn cigarettes, the structural differences of different specifications of cigarettes have put forward higher detection requirements for force collapse resistance. The traditional single-dimensional detection method cannot meet the industry demand, and there is an urgent need for a detection technology that covers dynamic force simulation, mechanical property analysis and multi-parameter correlation evaluation. In addition, the existing device lacks the integration capabilities of cigarette drop posture control, multi-directional force simulation and intelligent data processing, resulting in deviations between the detection results and the actual scene, and making it difficult to accurately guide the optimization of cigarette formula and process improvement.
[0004] Therefore, it is a key technical requirement to develop a cigarette force collapse hollow detection method and device that can simulate real force scenarios, quantify the dynamic mechanical response of tobacco and realize multi-specification adaptation to improve the quality of cigarette products.

[0037] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for measuring the collapse of cigarettes is provided. Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a method for measuring the collapse of cigarettes according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the method for measuring the collapse of cigarettes according to the embodiment of the present invention specifically includes:
[0038] S1, adjust the length, inner diameter and tray spacing of the guide pipe according to the cigarette specification, calibrate the sensor, and obtain L 短支 ;
[0039] According to the cigarette type (such as the inner diameter of a slim cigarette being 6.5mm), the inner diameter and length of the guide pipe are adjusted, the tray spacing is set to 1.1 times the length of the cigarette (such as 84mm cigarette being set to 92mm), the pressure sensor is calibrated by a standard weight (0-50N), the displacement sensor is calibrated by a standard gauge block (0-10mm), and the high-speed camera is corrected by a calibration board (accuracy 0.01mm).

[0041] The cigarette used in the embodiment of the application needs to be pre-processed, specifically including:
[0042] Sample processing and information collection: collect commercially available A and B brand cigarettes, and make the to-be-tested cigarettes balance in an environment of 22℃±2℃ and relative humidity of 60%±5% for 48h. Collect sample information, and the lengths of the A and B brand cigarettes are both 84.0mm, and the lengths of the filter rods are both 25.0mm;
[0043] Sample determination: select 20 cigarettes as a group of samples, and use a cylindrical millimeter ruler visual method or an infrared photoelectric empty head detection method to measure the initial empty head average L0 of the cigarettes. The cigarettes are sequentially placed into a self-made testing device, the cigarettes are vertically dropped through the guide pipe to the tray, the cigarettes at the tray are collected, the sample is circulated for 10 times, and the empty head averages L x

[0048] S4, obtain v, θ and acoustic emission characteristic parameters through the dynamic monitoring acquisition module;
[0049] S5. Establish short position change value ΔL x =L x -L0 and the correlation model of each monitoring parameter, and calculate the comprehensive evaluation index;

[0051] ΔL x =α0+∑α i Parameter i, where parameter i includes: E, rebound rate, v and acoustic emission energy value.

[0053] FCI=FCI=∑(ω i ·Z i );
[0054] where ω i is the weight parameter, determined by the hierarchical analysis method, Z i To standardize parameter values, the weight determination process of the AHP method is as follows:
[0055] Step 1: Establish a hierarchical model and decompose the comprehensive evaluation problem into the following levels:
[0056] Target layer: Comprehensive evaluation of cigarette force collapse resistance (FCI).
[0057] Criterion layer: key parameters affecting FCI, such as compression modulus E (reflecting tobacco structural stiffness), spring rate (reflecting tobacco elastic recovery ability), short change rate v (reflecting dynamic deformation sensitivity), and acoustic emission energy (reflecting the degree of tobacco breakage);

[0063] Step 4: Consistency check
[0064] Multiply the judgment matrix A by the weight vector ω to obtain Aω;
[0065] Calculate the consistency index CI and consistency ratio CR:
[0066]
[0067] Step 5, according to the AHP calculation results.
[0068] Further, the weight can be fine-tuned according to different cigarette types (such as slim cigarettes vs. regular cigarettes), for example, slim cigarettes pay more attention to the rebound rate (the weight is increased to 0.3).
[0069] When the multi-direction force simulation module applies an external force different from the vertical direction to the cigarette, the L x , F max and dynamic deformation parameters under the corresponding working condition are recorded synchronously.
[0070] The number of empty head detection samples is not less than a preset number, and the mean value is taken to meet the repeatability requirement.
[0071] The method adjusts the device parameters to adapt to different specifications of cigarettes, including regular cigarettes, slim cigarettes, heat-not-burn cigarettes and electronic cigarette cartridges.
[0072] By adopting the embodiment of the present application, the following beneficial effects are achieved:
[0073] By using multi-cycle vertical drop, multi-parameter correlation modeling and comprehensive evaluation index (FCI) to quantify the force collapse resistance, the method can adapt to regular, slim, heat-not-burn and electronic cigarette cartridges, filling the gap in the quantitative evaluation of cigarette force collapse resistance, providing a scientific basis for cigarette formula optimization and quality control.
