[0002] In the cigarette production process, smokers' satisfaction and comfort need to be considered while ensuring the safety of tobacco products. Studies have shown that the intrinsic qualities of cigarettes, such as the ratio of tobacco product ingredients, tobacco filling density, and filling uniformity, have an impact on the aroma quality and the release of harmful components in the smoke. Therefore, in order to improve the intrinsic quality of cigarettes, laboratory personnel of tobacco companies will change the ratio of tobacco products and develop new formula tobacco products. When developing new formula tobacco products, it is necessary to prepare cigarettes with well-proportioned formula tobacco and conduct smoking aroma tests. However, since it is an experimental test sample, the amount of formula tobacco is small, and it is impossible to prepare formula cigarettes on the cigarette production line.
[0003] At present, most laboratory personnel manually fill formula tobacco into empty cigarette tubes to obtain formula cigarettes, manually take the empty cigarette tubes, use cigarette filling tools to manually fill the cigarettes, and then manually arrange the finished cigarettes.
