Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to a tobacco product inventory tool, in particular to a multifunctional cigarette inventory ruler. Background Art

[0002] Taking inventory of cigarettes is a relatively important task, but it is also a relatively time-consuming task. Since the sizes of cigarette boxes and cigarette strips of the same specifications are fixed, a ruler is usually used for measurement during inventory. The measured dimensions and the known dimensions of the cigarette boxes are used to calculate the inventory of each type of cigarette. However, there are many types of cigarettes, including slim cigarettes, medium cigarettes, and thick cigarettes; each type of cigarette is packaged in boxes and cartons. In this way, the data obtained from various measurements need to be calculated separately with the corresponding packaging specifications and dimensions. The process is complicated, and the data can easily be erroneous and confused if careless, resulting in mistakes in the inventory work. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model proposes a multifunctional cigarette inventory ruler, which includes a ruler body, a box measuring part, and a strip measuring part;

[0004] One side of the ruler has a boxed measuring section, and the other side has a striped measuring section.

[0005] The packing measurement section includes a thin packing area, a medium packing area, and a thick packing area. The thin packing area is used to measure the number of thin cigarettes in a pack; the medium packing area is used to measure the number of medium cigarettes in a pack; and the thick packing area is used to measure the number of thick cigarettes in a pack.

[0006] The rod measuring section includes a thin rod measuring area, a medium rod measuring area, and a thick rod measuring area. The thin rod measuring area is used to measure the number of cigarettes in thin rods; the medium rod measuring area is used to measure the number of cigarettes in medium rods; and the thick rod measuring area is used to measure the number of cigarettes in thick rods.

[0007] The ruler is equipped with a marking to distinguish the boxed measuring part from the strip measuring part, and the inside of the boxed measuring part and the strip measuring part are also equipped with markings to distinguish slim cigarettes, medium cigarettes and thick cigarettes;

[0008] Furthermore, the ruler body includes an inner ruler and an outer ruler. The outer ruler is mounted on the inner ruler. The inner ruler can slide relative to the outer ruler. The inner ruler is used to extend the outer ruler. The scale on the inner ruler is a continuation of the scale on the outer ruler. The ruler body is retractable and more convenient to carry.

[0009] Furthermore, the ruler body is provided with a fixing part, which is provided at one end of the ruler body and is used to fix one end of the ruler body to the object to be measured. When the measuring room is in the state where the fixing part can be engaged with the object to be measured, measurement is convenient.

[0010] The fixing part includes a fixing plate perpendicular to the ruler body. The fixing plate and the ruler body are hinged, and the fixing plate can rotate 90° from the hinge. When in use, the fixing part is unfolded perpendicular to the ruler body. When not in use, the fixing part is stored parallel to the ruler body for easy carrying.

[0011] Furthermore, the slim cigarette box measuring area includes several slim cigarette box scale lines, and the slim cigarette box scale lines are provided with corresponding numbers. The slim cigarette box scale lines are arranged on one side of the box measuring part, and the distance between two adjacent slim cigarette box scale lines conforms to the thickness of the slim cigarette box.

[0012] Furthermore, the medium cigarette box measuring area includes several medium cigarette box scale lines, and the medium cigarette box scale lines are provided with corresponding numbers. The medium cigarette box scale lines are set in the middle of the box measuring part, and the distance between two adjacent medium cigarette box scale lines conforms to the thickness of the medium cigarettes in the box.

[0013] Furthermore, the thick cigarette box measuring area includes several thick cigarette box scale lines, and the thick cigarette box scale lines are provided with corresponding numbers. The thick cigarette box scale lines are arranged on one side of the box measuring part, and the distance between two adjacent thick cigarette box scale lines conforms to the thickness of the cigarettes in the thick box.

[0014] Furthermore, the slim cigarette rod measuring area includes several slim cigarette rod scale lines, each of which is provided with corresponding numbers. The slim cigarette rod scale lines are provided on one side of the strip measuring part, and the distance between two adjacent slim cigarette rod scale lines conforms to the thickness of the slim cigarette rod.

[0015] Furthermore, the medium cigarette rod measurement area includes several medium cigarette rod scale lines, each of which is provided with corresponding numbers. The medium cigarette rod scale lines are located in the middle of the strip measurement part, and the distance between two adjacent medium cigarette rod scale lines conforms to the thickness of the medium cigarette rod.

[0016] Furthermore, the thick cigarette rod measurement area includes several thick cigarette rod scale lines, which are provided with corresponding numbers. The thick cigarette rod scale lines are arranged on one side of the strip measurement part, and the distance between two adjacent thick cigarette rod scale lines conforms to the thickness of the thick cigarette rods.

[0017] Furthermore, at least two inner rulers are provided inside the outer ruler, and two adjacent inner rulers are socketed.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
