DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific implementations in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a portable cigarette product quality inspection tool, including: a housing 1, a retractable tape measure 2, a ruler 3, a tapered ruler 4, and a circumference measurement hole 5, wherein the housing 1 is composed of a top cover 11 and a back cover 12, and the retractable tape measure 2 is installed inside the housing 1 via an automatic recovery mechanism, which is automatically recovered after use. The ruler 3 and the tapered ruler 4 are both mounted on the surface of the top cover 11 via a movable pair, and the overall length does not exceed the length of the housing 1 to avoid the protruding parts of the ruler 3 and the tapered ruler 4 affecting the convenience of carrying when carrying. A magnifying glass is provided at the front end of the ruler 3 for observing subtle defects in the cigarette. The circumference measurement hole 5 is formed by a hollow circumference measurement tube 51 embedded in the housing 1, and there are three in total, for cigarettes of three circumference sizes. The tool adopts an integrated design, integrating the commonly used retractable tape measure 2, ruler 3, tapered ruler 4, and circumference measurement disk on the housing 1 to solve the problem of inconvenience in carrying during inspections.

[0045] Specifically, if Figure 2-4 As shown, the automatic retraction mechanism includes: a mounting base 21, a spring 22, a limiting post 23, a button 24, a lever 25, and a spring 26. The mounting base 21 is located within the housing 1 and is used to accommodate the spring 22 and the retractable tape 2. The mounting base 21 is provided with a plurality of limiting holes 23 arranged along the circumference. A lever 25 is provided within the rear cover 12. One end of the lever 25 is provided with a button 24, and the other end is provided with a limiting post 27 that matches the limiting hole 23. The limiting post 27 is inserted into the limiting hole 23 to limit the rotation of the mounting base 21, thereby fixing the extended length of the retractable tape 2 for easy use. The spring 26 is installed on the rear cover 12, with one end of it abutting against the lever 25. When the button 24 is pressed, the lever 25 is driven to move, and the end thereof abutting against the spring 26 compresses the spring 26. At the same time, the limiting column 27 disengages from the limiting hole 23, releasing the limit, and the telescopic tape 2 is automatically retracted under the action of the rebound force of the spring 22. After the button 24 is released from the pressed state, the spring 26 rebounds, and the limiting column 27 is inserted into the limiting hole 23, so that the telescopic tape 2 remains in the retracted state.

[0046] like Figure 5As shown, the movable pair comprises a base 71 and a slide 72. The base is fixed to the outer surface of the top cover 11 and has a length equal to that of the top cover 11. The base 71 is a T-slot structure with a plurality of limit slots 76 disposed along its length. The slide 72 slides within the slot of the base 71 and is provided with a connecting post 73. The ends of the ruler 3 and the tapered ruler 4 are provided with connecting blocks 32, which are fixedly connected to the connecting posts 73 to secure the ruler 3 / tapered ruler 4 to the slide 72. A slider 74 is disposed above the slide 72. Two limit blocks 75 are disposed on either side of the bottom of the slider. The limit blocks 75 fit into the limit slots 76. A spring 77 is disposed between the limit block 75 and the slide 72. When the spring 77 is compressed, the limit block 75 is positioned below and out of the limit slots 76. When the slider 74 is moved, the limit block 75 enters and exits the limit slot 76 at the corresponding position. When extended to the appropriate position, the limit block 75 enters the corresponding limit slot 76 under the action of the rebound force of the spring 77 to lock the extended length of the ruler 3 / tapered ruler 4.

[0047] Furthermore, a key chain 6 is provided on the housing 1 for easy carrying.

[0048] like Figure 6 As shown, the circumference measurement hole 5 is used to measure the circumference of a cigarette 8 to see if it meets the standard. A ruler 3 extends from the housing 1 to measure the length of a cigarette 8 and retracts after use. Similarly, a tapered ruler 4 extends from the housing 1 and can be inserted into a cigarette end 8 to measure the degree of hollowness. The retractable tape measure 2 extends to measure the length of a cigarette rod scratch, among other things.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] In this embodiment, if Figure 7-8 As shown, the ruler 3 and the tapered ruler 4 can also be connected to the housing 1 in a hinged manner, with the hinge point located at the edge of the housing 1. The ruler 3 and the tapered ruler 4 can be rotated for use.

[0051] The above examples are used to illustrate the present invention, which are only used to help understand the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art of the present invention can make some simple deductions, modifications or substitutions based on the concept of the present invention.
