[0026] The present application proposes a new technical solution in view of the problems existing in the prior art. The core idea of the present application is that a receiving cavity is arranged, a supporting base capable of supporting a cigarette is arranged in the receiving cavity, a height adjusting mechanism is further arranged between the supporting base and the receiving cavity, the height adjusting mechanism can drive the supporting base to move along the up-down direction of the receiving cavity, so as to adjust the position of the cigarette exposed from the upper opening of the receiving cavity, and the cutter can cut the cigarette along the edge of the upper opening of the receiving cavity. The height adjusting mechanism can adjust the position of the cigarette exposed from the upper opening of the receiving cavity, and the cutter can cut the cigarette to obtain cigarette slices of different thicknesses, which is reliable and can accurately control the thickness of the slices.

[0027] In view of the above technical problems, a cigarette axial slicing device according to the present application includes a cutter 43 and a receiving cavity capable of receiving the upper opening of a cigarette. The receiving cavity of the present embodiment is composed of a U-shaped shell 1, a front wall 2 and a rear wall 3 as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 The heights of the U-shaped shell 1, the front wall 2 and the rear wall 3 are flush, and the cigarette 5 placed in the receiving cavity will not slip. A supporting base 13 capable of supporting the cigarette 5 is arranged in the receiving cavity, and a height adjusting mechanism is further arranged between the supporting base 13 and the receiving cavity. The height adjusting mechanism can drive the supporting base 13 to move along the up-down direction of the receiving cavity, so as to adjust the position of the cigarette 5 exposed from the upper opening of the receiving cavity, and the cutter 43 can cut the cigarette 5 along the edge of the upper opening of the receiving cavity. The height adjusting mechanism can adjust the position of the cigarette exposed from the upper opening of the receiving cavity, and the cutter can cut the cigarette at the edge of the receiving cavity to obtain cigarette slices of different thicknesses, which is reliable and can accurately control the thickness of the slices.

[0028] In the present embodiment, the height adjusting mechanism includes a supporting base 13 arranged on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity, a threaded hole 12 arranged on the supporting base 13, a screw rod 11 arranged in the threaded hole 12, and a handle 41 arranged on the screw rod 11. Figure 3The threaded hole 12 and the screw rod 11 matched with the threaded hole 12 are shown, and the upper end of the screw rod 11 pushes the supporting base to move up and down. The upper end of the screw rod 11 is a smooth plane to smoothly match with the supporting base 13. The screw rod 11 of the embodiment is a disc-shaped screw rod, and a disc-shaped input structure is arranged at the end of the disc-shaped screw rod away from the accommodating cavity. The disc-shaped input structure can be screwed to move the disc-shaped screw rod 11 up and down, which is convenient and labor-saving. The structure of the screw rod 11 and the threaded hole 12 is simple, and the height of the cigarette 5 above the accommodating cavity can be efficiently adjusted. In addition, in other embodiments, the height adjustment mechanism can also be a linear motor. The linear motor is placed at the bottom of the accommodating cavity, and the moving end of the linear motor matches with the supporting base to move the supporting base up and down. Of course, in another embodiment, the height adjustment structure can also be a positioning pin structure. Corresponding positioning holes are arranged at different heights of the two side cavity walls of the accommodating cavity. The positioning pin can pass through the positioning hole. At this time, the supporting base can be placed on the positioning pin. Because the positioning holes are arranged at different heights of the accommodating cavity, the position of the cigarette exposed from the upper opening of the accommodating cavity can be adjusted by inserting the positioning pin into different positioning holes.

[0029] In the implementation, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 The cigarette without filter 5 is placed on the supporting base 13 in the accommodating cavity, and then the butterfly screw is rotated to move the butterfly screw upward. In the moving process, the butterfly screw pushes the supporting base 13 to move upward. By rotating the butterfly screw by different numbers of turns, the supporting base 13 can drive the cigarette 5 to move to different positions above the upper opening of the accommodating cavity. At this time, as shown in Figure 5 , the cutter can be used to cut the cigarette 5 to obtain tobacco slices. As shown in Figure 6 , continuous slicing can be realized by continuing to rotate the butterfly screw to obtain tobacco slices with different radial depths.

[0030] In the embodiment, the screw rod 11 matches with the supporting base 13 at the center of gravity of the supporting base 13. In this way, the stability of the supporting base 13 when rising or falling is ensured, and the problem that the supporting base 13 is tilted due to the inconsistent gravity on both sides is avoided. In addition, in other embodiments, as long as the supporting base is ensured not to be tilted (such as the guiding structure for guiding the supporting base is arranged in the accommodating cavity), the screw rod can match with the supporting base at other positions of the supporting base (such as the end position of the supporting base, the position close to the end, or the position close to the center of gravity), as long as the screw rod can stably drive the supporting base to move in the up-down direction when moving linearly.

[0031] In the embodiment, the diameter of the upper end surface of the screw rod 11 is not less than the width of the supporting base 13. In this way, the reliability of the cooperation between the screw rod 11 and the supporting base 13 is ensured. Of course, in another embodiment, the diameter of the upper end surface of the screw rod 11 can also be less than the width of the supporting base 13, as long as it can cooperate with the supporting base to drive the cigarette up and down.

[0032] In the embodiment, the accommodating cavity is provided with a guide structure for guiding the supporting base 13. The guide structure further improves the stability of the up-and-down movement of the supporting base 13 and ensures the reliability of the height adjustment process of the cigarette 5.

[0033] In the embodiment, the guide structure is a groove 6 provided on the accommodating cavity, and the end of the supporting base 13 extends into the groove 6, and the groove wall of the groove 6 can guide the supporting base 13. The groove 6 of the embodiment is provided on the front wall 2 and the rear wall 3. The groove structure is simple and convenient to manufacture, and at the same time, the groove wall of the groove 6 can guide the supporting base 13 to ensure the stability of the up-and-down movement of the supporting base 13. In addition, in another embodiment, the guide structure can also be a guide protrusion provided on the side wall of the accommodating cavity in the vertical direction of the accommodating cavity, and a guide groove is provided on the supporting base, and the guide protrusion on the accommodating cavity can cooperate with the groove wall of the guide groove on the supporting base to guide the supporting base. In other embodiments, the guide structure can also be the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity, and at this time, the supporting base needs to be consistent with the size of the inner cavity of the accommodating cavity, and when the screw rod is rotated, the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity can guide the supporting base. Of course, in another embodiment, the guide structure can also be a guide rod provided at the end position of the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity, and at this time, guide holes need to be provided at both ends of the supporting base, and the guide holes on the supporting base cooperate with the guide rod to guide the movement of the supporting base, and the cigarette is between the two guide rods at both ends.

[0034] In the embodiment, the side of the supporting base 13 in contact with the cigarette 5 is arc-shaped and adapted to the shape of the cigarette 5. In this way, the supporting base 13 and the cigarette 5 have a larger contact area, which can further improve the stability of the cigarette 5 placed on the supporting base 13. In addition, in other embodiments, the side of the supporting base in contact with the cigarette can also be a flat plate, as long as the supporting base can drive the cigarette to move up and down stably.

[0035] In the embodiment, the height of the accommodating cavity is not less than the sum of the thinnest thickness of the supporting base 13 and the diameter of the cigarette 5. The accommodating cavity of the embodiment is box-shaped, and the width is consistent with the diameter of the cigarette 5. Thus, when the cigarette 5 is placed inside the accommodating cavity, the inner wall of the accommodating cavity can limit the cigarette 5 to avoid the cigarette 5 from turning over. When the accommodating cavity has a certain height, the cigarette 5 can be limited by the accommodating cavity during the cutting process without slipping or deflecting, thereby ensuring the normal progress of the cutting process. In addition, in other embodiments, the height of the accommodating cavity can also be less than the sum of the thinnest thickness of the supporting base 13 and the diameter of the cigarette 5. At this time, even if the supporting base is located at the bottom of the accommodating cavity, the cigarette placed in the accommodating cavity will also be higher than the accommodating cavity.

[0036] In the embodiment, the length of the cutter 43 is not less than the length of the cigarette 5, and the width is not less than the diameter of the cigarette 5, so that the upper part of the cutter 43 can be used to support the cut cigarette 5 when the cutter 43 cuts the cigarette 5. The cigarette 5 is wrapped with tobacco leaves, and the tobacco leaves will be dispersed when the cigarette 5 is cut axially. If the length of the cutter is less than the length of the cigarette 5, it is difficult to take out the cut cigarette in one piece after the cutter cuts, thereby increasing the complexity of the operation. If the width of the cutter is less than the diameter of the cigarette, it is difficult to cut the cigarette in one piece when the cigarette 5 is cut along the central axis of the cigarette 5. Therefore, in the embodiment, the length and width of the cutter 43 are not less than the length and diameter of the cigarette 5, so that the cutter can complete the cutting at one time even when the cigarette 5 is cut along the central axis of the cigarette 5, and the upper part of the cutter is sufficient to support the cut cigarette. Of course, in other embodiments, the length of the cutter can be less than the length of the cigarette, and the width of the cigarette can be less than the diameter of the cigarette.

[0037] In the embodiment, the upper part of the cutter 43 is further provided with an outer wall 42. The cross section of the outer wall 42 is arc-shaped. In addition, in other embodiments, the cross section of the outer wall can also be square-shaped. The cavity formed between the outer wall 42 and the cutter 43 is used to accommodate the cut cigarette. The length of the outer wall 42 is equal to the length of the cigarette 5, and the width is less than the width of the cutter 43. The cavity formed between the outer wall 42 and the cutter 43 can avoid the problem of dispersion of the tobacco leaves 5 under the influence of external factors, thereby ensuring the integrity of the cut cigarette.

[0038] In the embodiment, the outer wall 42 is provided with a handle 41. The handle 41 provides a handle for the cutter 43, thereby facilitating the cutting process. The cutter 43, the outer wall 42 and the handle 41 jointly constitute the cutting device 4 of the utility model, which has a simple structure and is convenient to cut.

[0039] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, and the patent protection scope of the present application is subject to the claims, and any equivalent structural changes made according to the content of the specification and drawings of the present application should also be included in the protection scope of the present application.
