Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarettes, in particular to a cigarette puncher with simple structure and convenient use. Background Art

[0002] Cigarette tipping paper is used as a special outer packaging paper for cigarette filters. In order to reduce the tar content and ensure the health of the smoking population: during the processing of tipping paper or cigarettes, holes can be punched in the tipping paper or filter tip, so that external air can enter the filter tip and dilute the mainstream smoke when smoking cigarettes. The external cold air also helps the condensation of tar on the filter cotton in the filter tip, so that the amount of tar inhaled into the human body is relatively reduced. In addition, punching holes in cigarettes will allow some air to enter the human body from the filter tip, which can also reduce the amount of smoke inhaled by smokers; furthermore, punching holes in the filter tip can also reduce the negative pressure at the combustion end during inhalation, reduce the air intake at the combustion end of the cigarette, thereby greatly slowing down the burning speed of the cigarette and reducing the amount of smoking for some people.

[0003] At present, the commonly used method for punching holes in cigarettes is the laser punching method, which uses the high-temperature laser beam on the cigarette production line to quickly process uniform small holes on the surface of the tipping paper or the filter tip, thereby realizing the production of perforated cigarettes. However, this laser punching method undoubtedly increases the production cost of cigarettes and increases the price of cigarettes. Currently, only some high-end cigarettes use this method to achieve punching. As for ordinary cigarettes smoked by general consumers, there is currently no convenient and low-cost punching method. Therefore, ordinary cigarettes on the market cause the most serious damage to consumers' bodies. At this stage, there is an urgent need for a machine for ordinary consumers that can quickly and low-costly punch cigarettes. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides a cigarette puncher, which solves the problem in the prior art that ordinary cigarettes cannot be punched quickly and at low cost.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is implemented as follows: a cigarette puncher comprises:

[0006] a middle portion having a cigarette hole for receiving a cigarette;

[0007] The sliding part is slidably matched with the middle part. The sliding part is provided with a punching needle. When the sliding part slides on the middle part, the punching needle can pierce into the cigarette hole.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, a linearly extending slide groove is provided in the middle portion, the extending direction of the slide groove is perpendicular to the axial direction of the cigarette hole, and the sliding portion reciprocates in the slide groove.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the sliding portion is composed of a finger portion, a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate which are fixed in sequence, and the thickness of the first connecting plate is smaller than the thickness of the finger portion and the second connecting plate;

[0010] The second connecting plate is located in the slide groove and is adapted thereto, and the punching needle is fixed on the second connecting plate;

[0011] The finger portion is located outside the slide groove, and an opening is provided on the middle portion for the first connecting plate to slide and fit with the first connecting plate.

[0012] As a preferred implementation manner, a finger hole is opened on the finger portion.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the number of the sliding parts is two and they are symmetrically arranged on the middle part.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, there are multiple punching needles on the two sliding parts, and they are staggered in the radial direction of the cigarette hole.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, after the punching needles on the two sliding parts completely penetrate the cigarette holes, the ends of the punching needles are flush with or interfere with each other.

[0016] After adopting the above technical scheme, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the cigarette puncher of the utility model adopts a sliding-matching middle part and a sliding part. When in use, the filter tip of the cigarette is inserted into the cigarette hole, and then the sliding part is operated to make the punching needle connected to its upper part penetrate into the cigarette hole, thereby achieving punching on the filter tip part. The overall structure is simple and easy to operate. It can be suitable for any form of cigarette products. Moreover, the product is small in size, easy to carry, and has a low cost. It is suitable for the widest use of ordinary people, greatly reducing the damage caused by smoking to the human body, effectively reducing the overall smoking amount of society, and has good practicality.

[0017] The sliding part is configured in the form of a finger part, a first connecting plate, and a second connecting plate, so that the thicker finger part and the second connecting plate can form a natural limit structure. When the first connecting plate slides on the middle part, the finger part and the second connecting plate respectively control the two extreme positions of the entire sliding part: when the finger part contacts the middle part, the thicker finger part cannot move further inward, and the penetration depth of the punching needle is the maximum at this time; when the second connecting plate contacts the opening of the slide groove, the thicker second connecting plate cannot move further outward, preventing the sliding part from detaching from the middle part. Moreover, during the movement of the entire sliding part, the second connecting plate is always in the slide groove and is adapted to its size, which can ensure the stability of the entire sliding part and prevent it from shaking.

[0018] Finger holes are arranged on the finger portion, so that people can insert their usual fingers into the holes for operation when using the device.

[0019] The number of sliding parts is set to two and they are arranged symmetrically in the middle part. When punching holes in the cigarette filter, double-sided punching can be achieved at one time, increasing the air intake of the filter, slowing down the burning speed of the cigarette, and further reducing the harm of cigarettes to the human body.

[0020] The punching needles on the two sliding parts are staggered, and after completely piercing the cigarette hole, their ends are flush or interfere with each other. Firstly, when punching, collision and deformation between the relative punching needles can be avoided, and secondly, the penetration depth of the punching needles can be ensured. Regardless of the diameter, the punching effect can be achieved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] Example:

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the cigarette puncher of the utility model is shown in the state before punching a cigarette. The embodiment first comprises a middle part 1, and a slide groove 5 extending linearly in the left-right direction is provided inside the middle part 1. The slide groove 5 is used for the sliding part 3 to slide linearly back and forth in the middle part 1 to punch a cigarette 11. Small openings 9 are provided at the left and right ends of the slide groove 5 to play a role of limiting to prevent the sliding part 3 from escaping from the slide groove 5 when sliding.

[0030] A cigarette hole 2 is also provided in the middle of the middle part 1, which is through-and-through. The axial direction of the cigarette hole 2 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the slide slot 5. The cigarette hole 2 is used to accommodate the cigarette 11. When punching, the filter tip of the cigarette 11 is inserted into the cigarette hole 2 for punching. Since the diameters of the cigarettes 11 vary greatly, in order to suit all consumers, the radial dimension of the cigarette hole 2 needs to be set larger. However, for some cigarettes 11 with smaller diameters, there is often a phenomenon of not being able to punch holes or punching deviations. This requires some necessary design of the punching structure to compensate for this. The structure of the punching part will be described in detail later.

[0031] The number of the sliding parts 3 in this embodiment is set to two and they are symmetrically arranged on the middle part 1, and their function is to realize one-time double-sided punching of the cigarette 11, improve the punching efficiency, and conform to the ergonomic design, so that the user can realize comfortable operation with two open fingers. The structures of the two sliding parts 3 are the same, so one of the sliding parts 3 is described in detail here.

[0032] The sliding part 3 is composed of three parts: the finger part 6, the first connecting plate 7 and the second connecting plate 8, which are fixedly arranged in sequence, wherein the finger part 6 is located outside the middle part 1, the second connecting plate 8 is located inside the slide groove 5 of the middle part 1, and the size of the second connecting plate 8 is adapted to the size of the slide groove 5, and the first connecting plate 7 passes through the side wall of the middle part 1. In order to limit the extreme position of the sliding part 3, this embodiment sets the thickness of the first connecting plate 7 to be smaller than the thickness of the finger part 6 and the second connecting plate 8, and the side wall of the middle part 1 is provided with an opening 9 adapted to the first connecting plate 7. Figure 2 In the state shown, the second connecting plate 8 has reached the limit position. Since its thickness is greater than the size of the opening 9, the entire sliding portion 3 cannot move outward any further, which can prevent the sliding portion 3 from escaping from the sliding groove 5. Similarly, when the entire sliding portion 3 is Figure 2The sliding part 3 moves inward in the direction of the arrow until the finger part 6 reaches the opening 9. Since the thickness of the finger part 6 is also greater than the size of the opening 9, the entire sliding part 3 cannot move inward any further. This is the other extreme position of the sliding part 3, that is, the state after the punching is completed. During the entire movement of the sliding part 3, the first connecting plate 7 always cooperates with the opening 9 it adapts to, and the second connecting plate 8 always cooperates with the sliding groove 5 it adapts to. This structure enables the entire sliding part 3 to slide left and right stably without any shaking.

[0033] In order to facilitate the use of consumers, a finger hole 10 is opened on the finger part 6. After the consumer inserts two fingers (usually the thumb and index finger, or the thumb and middle finger) into the finger holes 10 respectively, the movement of the two sliding parts 3 can be realized by opening and closing the fingers.

[0034] In order to achieve the punching of the filter tip of the cigarette 11, the embodiment also fixes a plurality of punching needles 4 at the end of the second connecting plate 8. When the entire sliding part 3 moves, the punching needles 4 can penetrate into the cigarette hole 2, thereby achieving the punching of the filter tip. For cigarettes 11 with a smaller diameter, in order to ensure that the punching needles 4 can penetrate into the cigarette hole 2, the punching needles 4 should not only be arranged in the radial direction of the cigarette hole 2, but also after the two sliding parts 3 move inward to the limit position (such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown), the ends of the two rows of punching needles 4 should be flush with each other, or even interfere with each other. Here, "flush with each other" means that the ends of all the punching needles 4 are located on the same radial line of the cigarette hole 2 (such as Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , the “interference” here means that the ends of one set of punching needles 4 extend into the other set of punching needles 4 to ensure that cigarettes 11 of any thickness can be pierced. Of course, in order to prevent the two sets of punching needles 4 from colliding or even deforming during relative movement, the punching needles 4 are also arranged in a staggered manner in the radial direction of the cigarette hole (as shown in FIG. 1 ). Figure 3 As shown), in this way, no matter whether the two groups of punching needles 4 are aligned or interfere with each other, no collision will occur.

[0035] The specific usage of this embodiment is briefly described below:

[0036] First, if Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the user inserts two fingers into the two finger holes 10 and uses the finger force to separate the two sliding parts 3 to the extreme position. At this time, the punching needle 4 is hidden in the sliding groove 5.

[0037] Next, the user inserts the filter tip of the cigarette 11 to be punched into the cigarette hole 2, and applies force with two fingers again, using the force of the fingers to move the two sliding parts 3 in accordance with the Figure 2 Move inward in the direction of the arrow shown until the sliding part 3 moves to the limit position (such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown), at this time, the punching needle 4 also completely penetrates into the filter tip of the cigarette 11 to achieve punching.

[0038] Third, if the user wants to punch further, the two fingers exert force again, according to Figure 4 Separate the two sliding parts 3 to the extreme position in the direction of the arrow shown, rotate the cigarette 11 to a certain angle, and repeat the above steps again to punch holes in the remaining parts of the filter tip of the cigarette 11.

[0039] In general, the cigarette puncher of the utility model has a simple structure, is easy to use, has a small size, is easy to carry, and can punch holes in various cigarettes of different diameters, thereby slowing down the burning speed of cigarettes, reducing the harmful substances inhaled by people, and reducing the amount of smoking by people, and has good practicality.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
