Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cigarette accessory technology, and in particular to a device and method for adding flavor enhancers to cigarette filter rods. Background Technology

[0002] Flavoring agents in cigarette filters are additives used to improve the taste and aroma of cigarettes. They are typically added to cigarette filters to enhance the flavor and mouthfeel of the tobacco. There are many types of flavoring agents, including natural flavorings, synthetic flavorings, and chemical additives.

[0003] CN222815315U discloses a cigarette flavoring device. The device has an insertion hole with a needle inside. When flavoring is needed, a cigarette is inserted into the insertion hole. When the button is pressed, the flavoring is pumped out through the pump structure and injected into the cigarette through the needle. The whole operation is convenient and can be completed with a light press. Moreover, the flavoring device has a simple structure and is small in size, about the size of a lighter, making it easy to carry and use.

[0004] When this cigarette flavoring device needs to be added, the cigarette is inserted into the socket, and when the button is pressed, the flavoring is pumped out through the pump structure and injected into the cigarette through the needle. The whole operation is convenient. However, it only has one flavoring cartridge, and the user can only select one flavoring when using it, which limits the user's personalized needs and reduces the flexibility of the device when used. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a device and method for adding flavoring agents to cigarette filter rods.

[0006] The present invention is achieved by the following technical solution: a flavoring agent adding device for cigarette filter rods, comprising a housing, a groove at the bottom of the housing, a storage box fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing, a feeding pipe connected to one end of the storage box, the end of the feeding pipe away from the storage box extending to the outside of the housing and threadedly connected to a sealing cap, a sealing assembly provided inside the housing, a discharge pipe connected to the bottom of the storage box, and a conduit connected to the end of the discharge pipe away from the storage box;

[0007] The sealing assembly includes a handle, a fixed rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the handle, a spring sleeved on the surface of the fixed rod, a limit ring provided at the bottom of the spring, a first blocking block fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed rod, a second blocking block fixedly connected to the end of the fixed rod away from the handle, and a limit bracket slidably connected to the surface of the fixed rod.

[0008] The above technical solution involves inserting the cigarette filter rod into the surface of the conduit, then pulling the handle. The handle moves the fixing rod and the limiting ring upward, compressing the spring and causing the second block to move upward. This allows the flavor enhancer inside the storage box to flow out through the discharge pipe and into the conduit, where it is added to the inside of the cigarette filter rod. The operation is simple and convenient, and the dosage of flavor enhancer can be controlled by the length of time the handle is pulled, meeting different user needs.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the handle is located at the top of the housing, the surface of the fixing rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing, and the top of the spring is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the housing.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the bottom of the spring contacts the top of the limiting ring, and the inner wall of the limiting ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing rod.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the limiting ring is located at the upper end of the storage box, and there are two storage boxes, which are symmetrically distributed with the shell as the center.

[0012] The above technical solution allows for the convenient storage of flavor enhancers with different flavors through two storage bins, facilitating flexible adjustment of flavors according to subsequent needs.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the surface of the first blocking block is in contact with the inner wall of the storage box, and the surface of the second blocking block is in contact with the inner wall of the storage box.

[0014] The above technical solution uses the first and second blocking blocks to seal the top and bottom of the storage box, respectively, to prevent the flavor enhancer from flowing out through the top or bottom of the storage box when it is not in use. When the second blocking block moves upward, the storage box will connect with the discharge pipe to discharge the flavor enhancer.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, the two ends of the limiting frame are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box.

[0016] The above technical solution uses a limiting frame to limit the movement of the fixed rod, ensuring its stability during movement and preventing deviation. This ensures that the first and second blocking blocks can accurately enter the sealing position of the storage box.

[0017] As a further improvement to the above solution, the surface of the conduit is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove, and the number of the discharge pipe and the conduit corresponds to the number of the storage box.

[0018] The above technical solution provides an internal through-hole for the flavor enhancer to flow out, and the cigarette filter rod can be fixed through the conduit.

[0019] The second technical solution provided by this invention is a method for adding flavoring agents using the flavoring agent adding device of the above-mentioned cigarette filter rod, comprising the following steps: adding flavoring agents into the interior of the storage box through the feeding pipe; different flavoring agents can be added through two storage boxes; then closing the sealing cover; inserting the cigarette filter rod into the surface of the guide tube; then pulling the handle; the handle drives the fixing rod and the limiting ring to move upward and compress the spring, causing the second blocking block to move upward, so that the flavoring agent inside the storage box flows out through the discharge pipe and enters the interior of the guide tube, and the flavoring agent is added into the interior of the cigarette filter rod through the guide tube; after the addition is completed, releasing the fixing rod; the spring elastically resets and pushes the limiting ring to move downward, so that the fixing rod moves downward, and the first blocking block and the second blocking block block the top and bottom of the storage box respectively, preventing the flavoring agent from flowing out.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] This invention, through the configuration of a storage box, a sealing assembly, a discharge pipe, and a conduit, specifically involves inserting a cigarette filter rod into the surface of the conduit, then pulling the handle. The handle moves the fixing rod and the limiting ring upward, compressing the spring and causing the second block to move upward. This allows the flavor enhancer inside the storage box to flow out through the discharge pipe and into the interior of the conduit, where it is added to the inside of the cigarette filter rod. The operation is simple and convenient, and the dosage of flavor enhancer can be controlled by the length of time the handle is pulled, meeting different user needs.

[0022] This invention features a storage bin, a feed pipe, and a sealing cap. Specifically, the two storage bins allow users to add different flavor enhancers according to their personal taste preferences, providing a more personalized user experience and increasing flexibility during use. The feed pipe facilitates the addition of flavor enhancers into the storage bins, while the sealing cap ensures the storage bins are sealed, preventing flavor enhancer leakage and contamination.

[0030] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0031] Example:

[0032] Please combine Figure 1-5 This embodiment of a cigarette filter rod flavoring agent adding device includes a housing 1, a groove 2 at the bottom of the housing 1, a storage box 3 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, a feeding pipe 4 connected to one end of the storage box 3, the end of the feeding pipe 4 away from the storage box 3 extending to the outside of the housing 1 and threadedly connected to a sealing cap 5, a sealing component 6 provided inside the housing 1, a discharge pipe 7 connected to the bottom of the storage box 3, and a conduit 8 connected to the end of the discharge pipe 7 away from the storage box 3.

[0033] The sealing assembly 6 includes a handle 601, a fixed rod 602 fixedly connected to the bottom of the handle 601, a spring 603 sleeved on the surface of the fixed rod 602, a limit ring 604 at the bottom of the spring 603, a first block 605 fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed rod 602, a second block 606 fixedly connected to the end of the fixed rod 602 away from the handle 601, and a limit bracket 607 slidably connected to the surface of the fixed rod 602. When the cigarette filter rod is inserted into the surface of the guide tube 8, and the handle 601 is pulled, the handle 601 causes the fixed rod 602 and the limit ring 604 to move upwards and compress the spring 603, causing the second block 606 to move upwards. This allows the flavor enhancer inside the storage tank 3 to flow out through the discharge pipe 7 and into the interior of the guide tube 8, whereby the flavor enhancer is added to the interior of the cigarette filter rod via the guide tube 8. The operation is simple and convenient, and the dosage of flavor enhancer can be controlled according to the duration of pulling the handle 601, meeting different user needs.

[0034] The handle 601 is located at the top of the housing 1, the surface of the fixing rod 602 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, and the top of the spring 603 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the housing 1.

[0035] The bottom of the spring 603 contacts the top of the limiting ring 604, and the inner wall of the limiting ring 604 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing rod 602.

[0036] The limiting ring 604 is located at the upper end of the storage box 3. There are two storage boxes 3, which are symmetrically distributed around the shell 1. Different flavoring agents can be added through the two storage boxes 3, which makes it convenient for users to add different flavoring agents according to their personal taste needs.

[0037] The surface of the first blocking block 605 contacts the inner wall of the storage box 3, and the surface of the second blocking block 606 contacts the inner wall of the storage box 3. After the addition is completed, the fixing rod 602 is released, and the spring 603 elastically resets and pushes the limiting ring 604 to move downward, so that the fixing rod 602 moves downward, and the first blocking block 605 and the second blocking block 606 block the top and bottom of the storage box 3 respectively, to prevent the flavor enhancer from flowing out.

[0038] The two ends of the limiting frame 607 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box 3.

[0039] The surface of the conduit 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 2, and the number of the discharge pipe 7 and the conduit 8 corresponds to the number of the storage box 3.

[0040] The method for adding flavoring agent using the flavoring agent adding device of the cigarette filter rod in this embodiment is as follows: When in use, open the sealing cover 5 and add the flavoring agent into the storage tank 3 through the feed pipe 4. Different flavoring agents can be added through the two storage tanks 3. Then close the sealing cover 5 to ensure the storage tank 3 is sealed, preventing flavoring agent leakage and contamination. When flavoring agent needs to be added to the cigarette filter rod, insert the cigarette filter rod onto the surface of the guide tube 8, and then pull the handle 601. The handle 601 drives the fixing rod 602 and the limiting ring 604 to move upward and compress the spring 603, causing the second block 606 to move upward, allowing the flavoring agent inside the storage tank 3 to pass through the discharge pipe. 7 flows out and enters the interior of the conduit 8, through which the flavoring agent is added to the interior of the cigarette filter rod. The operation is simple and convenient. The amount of flavoring agent added can be controlled according to the length of time the handle 601 is pulled, so as to meet different user needs. The two storage boxes 3 make it easy for users to add different flavoring agents according to their personal taste, providing a more personalized user experience and improving the flexibility of use. After adding, the fixing rod 602 is released, the spring 603 elastically resets and pushes the limiting ring 604 to move downward, so that the fixing rod 602 moves downward, and the first block 605 and the second block 606 block the top and bottom of the storage box 3 respectively, preventing the flavoring agent from flowing out.

[0041] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
