Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a digital cigarette case for assisting in realizing the "triangle test" method of cigarettes, belonging to the technical field of cigarette quality inspection. Background Art
[0002] The "triangle test" method is one of the most widely used methods in discrimination tests. Its test objects are mostly items such as smell and taste that are human-centered and difficult to test through sensor technology. It is mostly used in product quality inspection or sensory difference tests after process improvement. At the same time, in order to prevent the inspectors from making habitual judgments based on the appearance characteristics of the products, the consistency of the appearance needs to be considered when selecting or making samples. Therefore, it is necessary to encode and mark the samples, and determine the sample types they belong to through the codes of individual samples. The inspectors (evaluators) need to make selections and evaluations among three samples containing two types of samples. Their main task is to select the sample that is different from the other two samples and make a quality evaluation.
[0003] The existing method for realizing the "triangle test" of cigarettes: After encoding and marking the cigarette samples, the evaluator smokes and records the code of the sample that is different from the other two samples, and makes a quality judgment. Then the operator checks the code to determine whether the two different samples are correctly distinguished. When the operator makes the mark, it will cause different degrees of damage to the cigarettes. When the evaluator reads and records the code, it will also be affected by the recognizable degree of the mark. When the operator determines the conclusion, it is necessary to check the code library. Therefore, the preparation time in advance during operation is long, and the statistical workload at the end is large. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a digital cigarette case for assisting in realizing the "triangle test" method of cigarettes.

[0015] Such as Figure 1 And Figure 2As shown in the figure, a digital cigarette case that assists in implementing the "triangle test" method for cigarettes has a panel 2 fastened to the surface of the cigarette case body 1. There are three juxtaposed cigarette insertion holes 3 provided at the side end of the cigarette case body 1, and two different qualities of cigarettes are arranged in the cigarette insertion holes 3. At the upper part of the panel 2, there are three juxtaposed selection buttons S1 to S3, and at the lower part, there are two evaluation buttons S4 and S5. Indicator lights are respectively provided at the corresponding positions of the selection buttons S1 to S3 and the evaluation buttons S4 and S5. A control system 4 and a lithium battery 8 are provided inside the cigarette case body 1. The selection buttons S1 to S3, the evaluation buttons S4 and S5, and the indicator lights are respectively connected to the control system 4, and the lithium battery 8 supplies power to each circuit. When an appraiser determines that one of the three cigarettes is different from the other two, the selection button corresponding to the cigarette with different quality needs to be pressed, and at the same time, the evaluation button for excellent or inferior quality is selected, so as to realize the quality evaluation of the cigarettes.
[0016] As Figure 4 shown, the control system 7 includes an indicator light module, a button module, a communication module, a lithium battery charging module, a power conversion module, a charging interface module, and a power switch module; the selection buttons S1 to S3 are located in the button module and are connected to the chip of the communication module. Pressing the selection buttons S1 to S3 triggers the selection of the cigarettes in the corresponding cigarette insertion holes 3; the evaluation buttons S4 and S5 are located in the button module and are connected to the chip of the communication module. The evaluation buttons S4 and S5 judge the excellent or inferior quality of the cigarettes according to the color or label.

[0020] A control method using a digital cigarette case for "triangle test" includes the following steps:
[0021] 1) After the terminal device 11 is powered on, it communicates with the coordinator 12 to complete networking, and each digital cigarette case obtains a fixed address;
[0022] 2) Input the corresponding parameters required by the "triangle test" method in the control program, such as the number of assessors, and the brands of two cigarette samples A and B;
[0023] 3) After the parameter configuration is completed, the control program automatically generates grouping information; the grouping information includes the terminal device, address information, and sample combination information. For example: 01 ABA, the first and third cigarette jacks 3 of the terminal device 01 are type A samples, and the second cigarette jack 3 is a type B sample; 02 BBA, the first and second cigarette jacks 3 of the terminal device 02 are type B samples, and the third cigarette jack 3 is a type A sample; and the sample combination information assigned to each terminal device contains at least one A and at most two As;
[0024] 4) The grouping information is sent to the corresponding digital cigarette case through the coordinator, and the indicator light corresponding to the cigarette jack 3 assigned with a type A sample will light up;
[0025] 5) The operator first puts the type A sample into the cigarette jack 3 where the indicator light is on. After all the cigarette jacks 3 with the indicator lights on of all digital cigarette cases are filled with type A samples, then put the type B samples into the remaining cigarette jacks 3;
[0026] 6) After the samples are placed, operate the control program to send an indicator light reset command through the coordinator. After resetting, the indicator lights of each digital cigarette case go out;
[0027] 7) Randomly distribute the digital cigarette cases to the assessors. After the assessors complete the smoking evaluation, press any one of the S1 - S3 keys on the terminal device to indicate the one with the most significant difference in tobacco, and then press the "superior" or "inferior" key to indicate the superiority or inferiority of the tobacco difference. The indicator light corresponding to the operated key will light up, and the information is automatically transmitted to the coordinator and finally obtained by the control program;
[0028] 8) The control program obtains the key values of each digital cigarette case, performs data aggregation and analysis, forms a printable report, and saves it in the database.
[0029] Similarly, for those skilled in the art, corresponding changes can be made to the cigarette insertion hole structure of the digital cigarette case, which can be applied to other products with "three-point detection".
