[0039] The present application provides a novel cigarette appearance detection auxiliary device, which can simultaneously detect multiple appearance indexes of cigarettes, is convenient and fast, and greatly improves the efficiency of cigarette appearance detection.

[0040] AsFigure 1 As shown in the figure, the novel cigarette appearance detection auxiliary device provided by the present application includes a bottom plate 1, a back plate 4 and a pressing component.

[0041] A plurality of first semi-circular grooves 7 matching the diameter of the cigarette to be measured are arranged in parallel on the bottom plate 1.

[0042] Preferably, a scale 2 parallel to the first semi-circular groove 7 is provided on the second edge ( Figure 1 shown as the right edge in the figure) of the bottom plate 1. The zero point of the scale on the scale 2 is flush with the first end ( Figure 1 shown as the rear end in the figure) of the first semi-circular groove 7, and can be used to detect the length of the cigarette to be measured.

[0043] The back plate 4 is L-shaped, and its first right-angled surface is vertically fixed on the first edge ( Figure 1 shown as the rear edge in the figure) of the bottom plate 1. The first edge is perpendicular to the axis of the first semi-circular groove, and the second right-angled surface is parallel to the bottom plate 1 and located above the bottom plate 1.

[0044] The pressing component includes a pressing plate 51 and a sliding component for driving the pressing plate 51 to move perpendicular to the bottom plate 1. The pressing plate 51 is located below the second right-angled surface. In the working state, the pressing plate 51 and the first semi-circular groove 7 clamp the cigarette to be measured.

[0045] As an embodiment, as Figure 1 and 3 shown in the figure, the sliding component includes a sliding rod 5. The lower end of the sliding rod 5 is fixed on the top surface of the pressing plate 51 and extends upward through the moving hole 55 on the second right-angled surface.

[0046] Preferably, the sliding component further includes a locking component arranged at the upper end of the sliding rod 5.

[0047] As an embodiment, as Figures 1-3 shown in the figure, the locking component includes a positioning block 52 and a locking buckle. The positioning block 52 is fixed at the upper end of the sliding rod 5, and a plugging groove 63 is provided on the positioning block 52.

[0048] A connecting piece 6 extending upward is fixed on the top surface of the second right-angled surface. A horizontal protrusion facing the sliding rod 5 is provided on the top surface of the connecting piece 6. A positioning hole is provided at the lower part of the first groove wall facing the sliding rod 5 on the top surface of the connecting piece 6, and a locking buckle is arranged in the sliding groove 64.

[0049] The buckle includes a slider 61 slidably disposed in a chute. The side of the slider 61 facing the positioning hole is wedge-shaped. In the locked state, the wedge-shaped end of the slider 61 is inserted into the insertion slot 63, and the upper end of the positioning block 52 abuts against the bottom surface of the horizontal protrusion, so that the positioning block 52 cannot move, achieving the locking purpose. The slider 61 can fix the positioning block 52 without detecting the tightness of the cigarette, so that the pressing plate 51 is suspended above the bottom plate 1, leaving a detection space for the length and diameter.

[0050] Preferably, an annular boss 68 is provided on the inner wall of the chute 64. The space enclosed by the annular boss 68 has a hollow hole, and the height of the annular boss 68 is the same as the height of the slider 61. A vertical dial block 62 is fixed on the top surface of the slider 61, and the dial block 62 slides in the space above the annular boss 68 in the chute 64.

[0051] Preferably, in the chute 64, a retaining rod 67 is provided between the first groove wall and the second groove wall opposite thereto. The retaining rod 67 is higher than the annular boss 68, and the dial block 62 is slidably disposed on the retaining rod 67. The retaining rod 67 guides the dial block 62 and the slider 61.

[0052] Preferably, a retaining spring 66 is sleeved on the retaining rod 67. The retaining spring 66 is clamped between the dial block 62 and the first groove wall, and the retaining spring 66 functions to reset. The retaining spring 66 is a tension spring. In the unlocked state, the retaining spring 66 is stretched. During the locking process, the resilience of the retaining spring 66 drives the slider 61 into the insertion slot 63.

[0053] Preferably, as Figure 3 shown, a return spring 53 is provided between the positioning block 52 and the second right-angled surface. The two ends of the return spring 53 are respectively fixed on the bottom surface of the positioning block 52 and the top surface of the second right-angled surface. The return spring 53 is a tension spring. In the locked state, the return spring 53 is stretched. After the locking is released, the resilience of the return spring 53 drives the sliding rod 5 to move downward.

[0054] Preferably, the sliding assembly further includes at least one limiting rod 54. The lower end of the limiting rod 54 is fixed on the top surface of the pressing plate 51 and extends upward through the limiting hole on the second right-angled surface. The limiting rod 54 assists the sliding rod 5 to slide stably relative to the second right-angled surface.

[0055] Preferably, the new cigarette appearance detection auxiliary device further includes a reference plate 3. The reference plate 3 is evenly provided with second semi-circular grooves 8 having the same number and size as the first semi-circular grooves 7. The reference plate 3 is placed on the first semi-circular grooves 7 so that the second semi-circular grooves 8 and the corresponding first semi-circular grooves 7 are buckled into a circular hole.

[0056] Preferably, a pointer is provided at one end of the reference plate 3 close to the scale 2. The pointer is placed on the surface of the scale 2.

[0057] Preferably, the control plate 3 is slidably arranged on the scale 2. As Figure 4 shown, a T-shaped slider 9 is installed on the control plate 3, and a T-shaped chute 10 is formed on the scale 2. The T-shaped slider 9 is slidably installed in the T-shaped chute 10.

[0058] Based on the above, the working principle of the novel cigarette appearance detection auxiliary device of the present application is as follows:

[0059] The cigarettes to be tested are sequentially placed in the first semi-circular groove 7 and the first end is closely attached to the back plate 4. Push the control plate 3 close to the second end of the cigarette. At this time, the pointer on the control plate 3 slides on the scale 2. The staff can thus detect whether the length of the cigarette meets the standard. The diameter of the circular through hole formed by the first semi-circular groove 7 and the second semi-circular groove 8 is the control standard. The sliding process of the control plate 3 relative to the cigarette can help the staff judge whether the diameter of the cigarette is standard.

[0060] Afterwards, manually pull the block 62 backward. The block 62 drives the slider 61 to slide backward and slide out of the insertion slot 63, losing the restriction on the positioning block 52. The pressing plate 51 will slide downward under the rebounding action of the return spring 53 and strike the cigarette to be tested. Then manually slide the positioning block 52 upward to drive the pressing plate 51 to slide upward away from the cigarette, so as to facilitate the staff to observe the depression degree of the cigarette tobacco, thereby judging the tightness of the cigarette. Thus, the length, diameter and tightness of the cigarette can be detected together, which is convenient and fast, and greatly improves the efficiency of cigarette detection. After unlocking the positioning block 52, since the block 62 is manually released, the slider 61 projects out of the positioning hole of the chute 64 again under the rebounding force of the retaining spring 66. When the positioning block 52 drives the pressing plate 51 to slide upward and contacts the wedge surface of the slider 61, the positioning block 52 will drive the slider 61 to retract, stretching the retaining spring 66. When the slider 61 coincides with the insertion slot 63, the retaining spring 66 rebounds, driving the slider 61 to slide into the insertion slot 63 to fix the positioning block 52. Thus, the pressing plate 51 can be fixed, which is convenient for subsequent detection of the next batch of cigarettes to be tested.
