[0001] This invention discloses a memory metal clamping device for cigar filters. Background Technology
[0002] The applicant previously applied for patent number 2026203232066, "A Dedicated Disposable Filter Mouthpiece Suitable for Cigars of Different Diameters." In that application, a sealed heat-shrinkable tube was installed at the front end of the mouthpiece shell, making it convenient to insert cigars of the corresponding diameter into the sealed heat-shrinkable tube. The sealed heat-shrinkable tube was installed at the front end of the mouthpiece shell by heating it with a lighter, preventing the cigar mouthpiece from cracking. The sealed heat-shrinkable tube was used to shrink and install the cigars according to different diameters. The various combinations of filter components inside the mouthpiece shell also added a flexible filtering function.
[0003] This application discloses a memory metal clamping device for cigar filters, designed to replace the sealing heat-shrink tubing in disposable cigar filters suitable for cigars of different diameters. It addresses the shortcomings of existing filters where the cigar is simply inserted into a rigid mouthpiece and then sealed with film, making the cigar mouthpiece prone to cracking. It also improves upon the design of the sealing heat-shrink tubing, which is not easily replaceable, and addresses the drawback of disposable cigar filters where the filter core cannot be replaced. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address existing problems, this invention provides a memory metal clamping device for cigar filters, characterized by comprising a filter core, a flexible sealing sleeve, memory claws, and a mouthpiece shell. One end of the filter core is connected to a core tube, and a channel connects the filter core and the core tube. The mouthpiece shell has a platform inside, with corresponding filter core compartments and core tube compartments connected to each other. A compartment opening is provided at the rear end of the mouthpiece shell, and the memory claws are wrapped around the flexible sealing sleeve.
[0005] Preferably, the flexible sealing sleeve includes a first flexible sealing sleeve structure and a second flexible sealing sleeve structure.
[0006] Preferably, the first type of flexible sealing sleeve structure includes a cigar compartment and a filter cartridge compartment, wherein the filter cartridge is assembled inside the filter cartridge compartment and the core tube extends into the filter cartridge compartment.
[0007] Preferably, the second type of flexible sealing sleeve structure includes a cigar compartment with a through hole at the rear end of the cigar compartment, through which the filter core tube passes.
[0008] Preferably, the memory claw includes a first memory claw structure and a second memory claw structure.
[0009] Preferably, the first type of memory claw structure includes a memory clip fixing ring and a plurality of memory clips arranged along the circumference of the memory clip fixing ring, wherein the plurality of memory clips and the memory clip fixing ring are an integral structure.
[0010] Preferably, the second type of memory claw structure includes only a number of memory clips, which are fixed to the outside of the flexible sealing sleeve by bonding, welding, plugging, or sleeve connection.
[0011] Preferably, the plurality of memory clips are toothed, spring-shaped, filamentous, sheet-shaped, ring-shaped, or strip-shaped.
[0012] Preferably, the filter element is equipped with filter cotton, and / or a microporous filter, and / or adsorption beads, or any one or more of these.
[0013] The technical advantages of this invention are: The insert-type filter cartridge of this application is easily assembled within a flexible sealing sleeve. The memory claws in the flexible sealing sleeve clamp cigars of different diameters, overcoming the problem of existing filter mouthpieces where the cigar is simply inserted into a rigid mouthpiece and then sealed with film and wrapped, yet the cigar mouthpiece still easily cracks. Compared to sealed heat-shrink tubing, it is more convenient to clamp cigars of different diameters and also facilitates filter cartridge replacement. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0022] Example 1 like Figure 1-7As shown, this embodiment provides a memory metal clamping device for cigar filters to replace the sealing heat shrink tube in the previously filed application 2026203232066, a special disposable filter mouthpiece suitable for cigars of different diameters. It changes the existing market practice of simply inserting the cigar into a rigid mouthpiece and then wrapping it with sealing film, which still makes the cigar mouthpiece prone to cracking. It also improves upon the structure of the sealing heat shrink tube, which is not suitable for flexible replacement, by using memory claws fitted outside the flexible sealing sleeve. This allows the memory claws to easily clamp cigars of different cross-sectional diameters and also prevents the cigar mouthpiece wrapped with sealing film from cracking.
[0023] Furthermore, by assembling the filter element inside a flexible sealing sleeve and then installing it inside the mouthpiece shell, the drawback of disposable cigar filter mouthpieces where the filter element cannot be replaced is solved.
[0024] The specific structure is as follows: A memory metal clamping device for cigar filters includes a filter core 1, a flexible sealing sleeve, memory claws, and a mouthpiece housing 4. The filter core 1 is connected to a core tube 11, and a communicating channel 12 is provided inside the filter core 1 and the core tube 11. The front and rear ends of the channel in the filter core are open for air intake and air exhaust, respectively. The filter core may be optionally fitted with filter cotton, and / or a microporous filter, and / or adsorption beads, or any one or more of these.
[0025] Filter cotton is used to intercept dust, particulate matter, and suspended impurities in water.
[0026] Microporous filters can effectively trap tiny impurities such as bacteria, colloids, and suspended particles.
[0027] Adsorption beads are a type of tiny spherical material with high specific surface area and porous structure, which can selectively capture moisture, harmful substances or specific molecules in gases and liquids through physical adsorption or chemical adsorption.
[0028] The memory claw 3 is wrapped around the flexible sealing sleeve 2. Memory metal is a smart material that can "remember" its original shape at a specific temperature and automatically recover that shape after being heated. Even if it is severely twisted or stretched, it will instantly "remember" its original shape and recover as long as a certain temperature is reached. The mouthpiece shell 4 has corresponding filter core compartments and core tube compartments 42 inside, which are connected. A compartment hole 43 corresponding to the core tube compartment is opened at the rear end of the mouthpiece shell.
[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the flexible sealing sleeve includes a first flexible sealing sleeve structure and a second flexible sealing sleeve structure.
[0030] The first type of flexible sealing sleeve structure includes a cigar compartment 21 and a filter cartridge compartment 22, wherein the filter cartridge 1 is assembled inside the filter cartridge compartment 22 and the cartridge tube extends into the filter cartridge compartment 22. This facilitates installation within a platform located inside the mouthpiece housing.
[0031] The second type of flexible sealing sleeve structure includes a cigar compartment 21 with a through hole at the rear end. The filter cartridge 1 is assembled inside the filter cartridge compartment 22, and the cartridge tube passes through the compartment hole. This facilitates installation within a platform located inside the mouthpiece housing.
[0032] The memory claw includes a first memory claw structure and a second memory claw structure.
[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first type of memory claw structure includes a memory clip fixing ring 32 and a plurality of memory clips 31 arranged along the circumference of the memory clip fixing ring, wherein the memory clips 31 and the memory clip fixing ring 32 are an integral structure.
[0034] The second type of memory claw structure consists of several memory clips fixed to the outside of the flexible sealing sleeve by bonding, welding, plugging, or sleeve connection. These memory clips 31 can be toothed, spring-shaped, filamentous, sheet-like, ring-shaped, or strip-shaped, thus allowing for diverse shapes.
[0035] In practical use, the filter cartridge is assembled inside the flexible sealing sleeve, with the filter tube passing through the rear end of the flexible sealing sleeve. The cigar is inserted inside the flexible sealing sleeve, and the memory claw is placed outside the flexible sealing sleeve. After heating the memory claw to a certain temperature with a lighter, the memory claw will deform due to the heat, loosening the flexible sealing sleeve. This allows for easy removal and placement of the cigar according to its cross-sectional diameter. After being placed at room temperature, the memory claw returns to its clamping state at room temperature, pressing against the flexible sealing sleeve, which then tightens, sealing the cigar inside the cigar compartment and achieving the purpose of sealing the cigar's edges.
[0036] It should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical concept and features of the present invention, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
