Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette material measurement, in particular to a device for measuring the residual amount of cylindrical cigarette material. Background Art

[0002] In the tobacco industry, accurate statistics of raw material surplus is an important part of cost and consumption accounting. In the daily on-site production process, operators have different opinions on the amount of material surplus when changing shifts, resulting in a lack of standards for filling in the surplus of auxiliary materials, which is not convenient for consumption management in the production process. Among the commonly used measuring tools, the vernier caliper is a tool used to measure the size of objects. It is widely used in manufacturing, high-precision measurement and other fields. It consists of two jaws and a measuring scale. Generally, the jaws are used to clamp the object to be measured in the middle and then read the data on the measuring scale to determine the size of the object. However, on the traditional vernier caliper, the reading needs to be determined by visually observing the scale on the vernier caliper, and there are human reading and recording errors.

[0003] In order to improve the accuracy of reading and recording, the use of a digital vernier caliper is considered when measuring cylindrical materials. For example, the invention patent with publication number CN116642391A discloses a digital vernier caliper, including a caliper body, a fixed upper jaw arranged at one end of the top of the caliper body, a fixed lower jaw arranged at one end of the top of the caliper body, a depth detection member arranged at the other end of the caliper body, and a movable housing arranged on the caliper body.

[0004] However, such a device still has its limitations. Since the cigarette cylinder materials to be measured include rolled tipping paper, rolling paper, aluminum paper, etc., there may be bending and deformation problems during measurement. If a general digital display vernier caliper is used to measure the cylinder materials directly, the deformation and swing of the materials will cause the vernier caliper jaws to be unable to completely fit the surface of the material to be measured, affecting the measurement efficiency and easily leading to measurement errors, reducing the accuracy of data calculation.
