Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cigar detection, in particular to a reference channel suitable for visual measurement of cigars of multiple sizes. Background Art
[0002] Fully mechanized cigars (also known as machine-made cigars) have seen rapid growth in recent years. Many Chinese tobacco factories have introduced rolling and packaging machines to produce these products. Machine-made cigars typically offer a wider range of specifications than traditional cigarettes, with diameters and lengths varying widely across brands, ranging from approximately 6-20mm in diameter and 70-240mm in length. Machine-made cigars consist of one or two pieces. A one-piece cigar is entirely wrapped in tobacco leaf; a two-piece cigar is a one-piece cigar with a wooden or plastic mouthpiece added.
[0003] Existing machine-made cigar measurements usually only measure a single parameter of a single specification of cigars. When the specifications of the cigars change, different-sized device components need to be replaced according to the specifications, which greatly reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to design a reference channel suitable for visual measurement of cigars of various sizes in order to solve the above problems.
[0005] The utility model achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical solutions:

The reference channel comprises a base surface rotation component, a channel rotation component and a mounting plate. The base surface rotation component and the channel rotation component are detachably connected to the mounting plate.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the base surface rotation component includes a fixed frame b, a synchronous belt b, a stepper motor b, and a base surface rotation table; the channel rotation component includes a channel rotation table, a stepper motor c, a synchronous belt c, and a fixed frame c; the base surface rotation table is fixedly installed under the mounting plate through the fixed frame b, and the synchronous belt b is driven by the stepper motor b to realize the rotation of the base surface rotation table; the channel rotation table is fixedly installed under the mounting plate through the fixed frame c and the synchronous belt c is driven by the stepper motor c to realize the rotation of the channel rotation table.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the base rotating stage is divided into six levels of reference surfaces, each with a 30mm height difference. The difference between the highest and lowest levels is 150mm, accommodating a wide range of length measurements from 70 to 240mm. The channel rotating stage and the base rotating stage are integrated. The holes on the base rotating stage are for the discharge of thin branches with a diameter of 6-11mm, while the holes on the channel rotating stage are for coarse branches with a diameter of 16-20mm and medium branches with a diameter of 12-15mm. This ensures that the sample can vertically exit the structure and enter the measurement of other links.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the base rotating platform is provided with 6 steps, each step is provided with a through hole a, and the diameter of the through hole a is 12 mm.
