Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cigarette detection tools, and in particular to a cutting tool used in a cigarette self-inspection process. Background Art

[0002] During the cigarette production process, cigarette factories need to perform self-inspections on the finished cigarettes, such as checking the filling of tobacco in the tobacco segment, checking the quality of the cut at the connection between the filter segment and the tobacco segment, etc. When performing these self-inspections, the finished cigarettes need to be sectioned axially, and the tobacco, cuts, etc. need to be inspected after axial sectioning. Currently, cigarette factories mostly use blades for axial sectioning of cigarettes, and operators hold the blades to section the cigarettes axially. However, due to the small diameter and hardness of cigarettes, it is inconvenient for operators to hold the blades to section the cigarettes, which affects the efficiency of the entire self-inspection process. In addition, it is easy for operators to be cut during the sectioning process, resulting in poor safety. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the present application is to provide a cutting tool for use in the self-inspection process of cigarettes, which can conveniently, quickly and safely implement axial cutting of cigarette sticks, thereby effectively solving the deficiencies existing in the prior art.

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] like Figures 1 - 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a cutting tool for the self-inspection process of cigarettes, which realizes axial cutting of cigarettes for self-inspection. After the cigarette is axially cut, the tobacco in the tobacco segment is inspected, and the incision at the connection between the tobacco segment and the filter segment is detected. In the past, when the cigarette was axially cut, most of the time, the operator directly cut the cigarette with a hand-held blade. However, due to the small size and hardness of the cigarette, it is inconvenient to directly cut the cigarette with a hand-held blade, which takes a long time and affects the efficiency of the entire self-inspection process. Moreover, when the hand-held blade cuts the cigarette axially, it is easy to cause cuts on the operator's hands, which poses certain safety hazards. The cutting tool provided by the present application aims to improve the convenience and safety of axial cutting of cigarettes, avoid the situation where the operator is cut, and make the axial cutting of cigarettes faster and safer, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire cigarette self-inspection process.

[0025] The cutting tool comprises a base 100 and a cutting assembly 200. The base 100 comprises a base 101 and a mounting portion, and further comprises a window 1011. The window 1011 is arranged on the base 101 of the base 100. The window 1011 is used for allowing a cigarette to pass through axially. The cutting assembly 200 is mounted on the mounting portion. The cutting assembly 200 is used for axially cutting a cigarette. After the cutting assembly 200 is mounted on the mounting portion, a part of the cutting assembly 200 can extend into the window 1011 to cut the cigarette passing through the window 1011. In this embodiment, the window 1011 is a structure that penetrates the base 101, and a cigarette can be inserted into the window 1011 and the cigarette can be passed through the window 1011. 011 moves axially, one end of the cigarette passes through the window 1011 and out of the window 1011, and then by pulling the section of the cigarette and pushing the other end of the cigarette, the entire cigarette passes through the window 1011 axially, and a part of the cutting assembly 200 extends into the window 1011, and the part of the cutting assembly 200 that extends into the window 1011 can intervene in the side of the axially moving cigarette, so that the cutting assembly 200 cuts axially from one end of the cigarette to the other end, and then cuts the cigarette. In this way, the cigarette passes through the window 1011 to achieve axial cutting, which is easy to operate, saves time and effort, and is highly safe. It will not cause harm to the operator, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of cigarette self-inspection.

[0026] Preferably, the installation part includes a first clamping part 1021 and a second clamping part 1022. One end of the first clamping part 1021 and one end of the second clamping part 1022 are both connected to the base 101. A certain gap space is provided between the first clamping part 1021 and the second clamping part 1022. This gap is used to install the cutting component 200. The first clamping part 1021 and the second clamping part 1022 can approach each other or move away from each other. When the first clamping part 1021 and the second clamping part 1022 approach each other, the cutting component 200 is clamped. When the first clamping part 1021 and the second clamping part 1022 move away from each other, the cutting component 200 is released. In this way, the installation and disassembly of the cutting component 200 can be achieved.

[0027] In this embodiment, a locking member is provided between the first clamping part 1021 and the second clamping part 1022. Through the locking member, the first clamping part 1021 and the second clamping part 1022 approach each other to clamp and fix the cutting component 200. The locking member can be an elastic member such as a spring or an elastic sheet, or an elastic clip. Or the first clamping part 1021 and the base 101 are elastically connected, and the second clamping part 1022 and the base 101 are elastically connected to achieve the elastic approximation between the first clamping part 1021 and the second clamping part 1022. The elastic connection between the first clamping part 1021 and the base 101 and the elastic connection between the second clamping part 1022 and the base 101 can be connected by an elastic sheet. Preferably, the locking member is a screw 300. The screw 300 passes through the first clamping part 1021 and the second clamping part 1022. By screwing the screw 300, the first clamping part 1021 and the second clamping part 1022 approach each other to clamp the cutting component 200. Removing the screw 300 can achieve the disassembly of the cutting component 200.

[0028] Preferably, the cutting component 200 is a cutting blade. When the cutting blade is clamped between the first clamping part 1021 and the second clamping part 1022, a part of the cutting edge of the cutting blade extends into the window 1011 for axially cutting the cigarette rod.

[0029] More preferably, the first clamping part 1021, the second clamping part 1022 and the base 101 are of an integrally formed structure. The seat body 100 is a whole rectangular block structure. When the seat body 100 is placed horizontally and correctly, such as Figure 1As shown, the left end of the base body 100 is the base portion 101. The right end of the base body 100 symmetrically bifurcates into upper and lower parts, which are the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022. In the free state, the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022 do not contact each other, and there is a certain gap between the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022. This gap is slightly larger than the thickness of the cutting blade. Place the cutting blade in the gap between the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022, and make the cutting edge tip of the cutting blade extend into the window 1011. Fasten the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022 with screws 300. The first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022 then clamp the cutting blade. Then axially pass the cigarette through the window 1011, so that the cutting blade axially cuts the cigarette to a certain depth. When installing the cutting blade, the length of the cutting edge tip of the cutting blade extending into the window 1011 can be adjusted, and thus the depth of axially cutting the cigarette can be adjusted. According to the self-inspection standard requirements, adjust the cutting depth to be appropriate.

[0030] In this embodiment, the base portion 101, the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022 are of an integrally formed structure. The window 1011 penetrates through the base portion 101 in the front-rear direction. The window 1011 is preferably a hole with a circular cross-section. The diameter of the window 1011 is 0.5 - 2 millimeters larger than the diameter of the cigarette to be self-inspected, so that the cigarette can smoothly pass through the window 1011. At the same time, when the cigarette passes through the window 1011, excessive gaps are avoided between the outer wall of the cigarette and the inner wall of the window 1011, improving the effect of the cutting blade cutting the cigarette.

[0031] More preferably, the gap between the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022 is axially communicated with the window 1011. That is, the gap between the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022 communicates with the side wall of the window 1011, causing a crack extending along the entire axial length of the window 1011 on the side wall of the window 1011. This crack is the edge opening of the gap between the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022, so as to facilitate the cutting blade to extend into the window 1011.

[0032] Even more preferably, the plane where the flat gap between the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022 is located is parallel to the axial direction of the window 1011. In this way, after the cutting blade is installed in the gap between the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022, the cutting edge tip of the cutting blade extending into the window 1011 can be parallel to the axial movement direction of the cigarette. In this way, the cutting of the cigarette is smoother.

[0033] More preferably, the plane where the flat gap between the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022 passes through the axis of the window 1011. In this way, after the cutting blade is installed between the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022, the protruding cutting blade tip not only moves parallel to the axial movement direction of the cigarette rod, but also enables the cutting blade to cut the middle of the cigarette rod along the diameter direction, cutting the cigarette rod more evenly, axially cutting the cigarette rod from the exact middle, which is convenient for subsequent inspection.

[0034] In some embodiments, the overall material of the seat body 100 can be plastic, metal, wood, etc. When it is a material with relatively high rigidity such as metal or wood, the thickness should not be too large, so that the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022 can approach or move away from each other relying on the elasticity of the material itself. As long as the cutting blade can be clamped by the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022 through the screw 300, and after removing the screw 300, the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022 move away from each other under the elasticity of the material itself to release the cutting blade.

[0035] In an example, when the seat body 100 is placed horizontally, the axis direction of the window 1011 is the front-back direction, the left end of the seat body 100 is the base portion 101, the right end of the seat body 100 is the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022 distributed vertically. The screw 300 penetrates through the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022 along the vertical direction. The seat body 100 is 30 millimeters long from left to right, 15 millimeters thick from top to bottom, 20 millimeters wide from front to back, the diameter of the window 1011 is 7.9 millimeters. In the free state, the gap between the first clamping portion 1021 and the second clamping portion 1022 is 1 millimeter thicker than the cutting blade.

[0036] Preferably, the edges of the two ports of the window 1011 can be provided with rounded corners or chamfers to facilitate the insertion of the cigarette rod.
