Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tipping paper detection, in particular to a testing device for detecting the adhesion of cigarette tipping paper. Background Art

[0002] Tipping paper is a crucial component of cigarettes, serving to connect the filter rod to the cigarette. In recent years, as consumers seek more differentiated and personalized cigarettes, cigarette companies have begun to incorporate more functionalities into tipping paper, such as more attractive appearances and a wider range of flavors. Consequently, manufacturers are faced with the need to employ new production processes, printing methods, printing materials, and additives to produce new cigarette categories. This can lead to various quality issues, such as sticking, which can seriously impact product quality and the consumer experience. Therefore, testing the anti-sticking properties of tipping paper is essential.

[0003] In the prior art, an online testing method is used to detect the stickiness of tipping paper. First, a sample of a certain type of tipping paper to be tested is taken and wrapped into cigarette packs and / or cigarette rods using a rolling and packaging machine. The rolling and packaging machine is then shut down. The test sample is placed in a beauty container for 5 minutes, then removed and inspected. If no cigarettes in the test sample stick together, the batch of tipping paper passes the test. If sticking is found, the test is repeated on a different rolling and packaging machine to check whether sticking still occurs. If sticking still occurs, the batch of tipping paper fails the stickiness test. Testing different types of tipping paper cannot be performed using the same set of rolling and packaging machines. The test must be repeated with a new rolling and packaging machine that matches the cigarette model to be tested. This online testing method is cumbersome and time-consuming. It requires the rolling and packaging machine to be started and stopped multiple times, disrupting normal production and damaging the rolling and packaging machines. Utility Model Content
