Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically to a sample preparation device for quality testing of tobacco packaging materials. Background Technology

[0002] The quality and performance of cigarette packaging materials directly affect the quality and appearance of cigarette packs. Measuring the indentation stiffness of packaging materials is a crucial parameter for quality testing. During testing, sampling of the packaging material is necessary. To ensure sampling accuracy, multiple sampling points are covered, with each point requiring multiple samplings, resulting in hundreds of samples. Traditional sample preparation involves individually cutting each testing location, which is time-consuming and inefficient. Current technology addresses these shortcomings by using a sampler, allowing for simultaneous sampling from multiple points, significantly improving efficiency. However, existing sampling methods still rely on cutting tools and sharp instruments to sample the packaging material. During repeated sampling, these tools can damage the sample, creating burrs and uneven cuts, affecting sample preparation accuracy. This is particularly problematic when handling complex or multi-point samples, where the quality of the cuts significantly impacts sample quality, making it difficult to meet the requirements for preparing complex samples.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 5 A sample preparation device for quality testing of tobacco packaging materials includes a main frame 10, a first moving mechanism 20, a second moving mechanism 30, a laser module 40, and a controller. The laser module 40 is used to cut the packaging material. The first moving mechanism 20 drives the laser module 40 to move in a first direction, and the second moving mechanism 30 drives the laser module 40 to move in a second direction. The main frame 10 is mounted above the packaging material to provide support for the first moving mechanism 20, the second moving mechanism 30, and the laser module 40. The first and second directions are perpendicular. The laser module 40 can perform cuts of any planar shape under the drive of the first moving mechanism 20 and the second moving mechanism 30. The controller is electrically connected to the first moving mechanism 20, the second moving mechanism, and the laser module 40 to achieve precise cutting.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 The main frame 10 includes a main beam 11 extending along a first direction. Two main beams 11 are arranged in parallel. Two secondary beams 12 are connected between the two main beams 11 at intervals to form a square frame structure. The two main beams 11 are connected as one unit through the secondary beams 12 so that the two main beams 11 can be adjusted at the same time to reduce the adjustment error between the main beams 11.

[0028] Please see 1 and Figure 3 The first moving mechanism 20 includes a fixed seat 21, a guide rail 22 and a first motor 24. The two fixed seats 21 are respectively disposed on the two main beams 11, and the fixed seats 21 are located on the outside of the main beams 11. The fixed seats 21 are provided with a first roller 23, which is connected to the first motor 24 for transmission. The first motor 24 drives the first roller 23 to rotate, thereby driving the fixed seat 21 to move on the main beams 11, realizing movement in the first direction.

[0029] Taking the fixed base 21 on one side as an example, the first rollers 23 are arranged in pairs, one above the other on the fixed base 21. The upper first roller 23 is located at the top of the main beam 11, and the lower first roller 23 is located at the bottom of the main beam 11. The fixed base 21 is located close to the side wall of the main beam 11, and the two first rollers 23 sandwich the main beam 11 in the middle to prevent the first rollers 23 from tipping over during movement. Furthermore, the main beam 11 is provided with grooves, and the first rollers 23 are located in the grooves. The side walls of the grooves form limits on both sides of the first rollers 23, providing guidance for the movement of the first rollers. Preferably, two pairs of first rollers 23 are arranged on the fixed base 21 to improve the load-bearing capacity of the fixed base 21.

[0030] The guide rail 22 extends along the second direction, and two fixed seats 21 are fixedly connected to both ends of the guide rail 22. The two fixed seats 21 are symmetrical about the main frame 10. The fixed seats 21 provide support for the guide rail 22 and are installed on the main frame 10. The first motor 24 is set on one of the fixed seats 21. The first motor 24 drives the first roller 23 to rotate. The guide rail 22 connects the two fixed seats 21, and the two fixed seats 21 move synchronously through the guide rail 22.

[0031] The second moving mechanism 30 includes a mounting plate 321 and a second motor 35. Mounting seats 31 are provided at both ends of the guide rail 22. Specifically, the mounting seats 31 are fixedly connected to the fixed seats 21. The mounting seats 31 are C-shaped and have pulleys 33. A transmission belt 32 is wound around the two pulleys 33. The mounting plate 321 is fixedly mounted on the transmission belt 32. The pulleys 33 are connected to the second motor 35 for transmission. The laser module 40 is mounted on the mounting plate 321. The second motor 35 drives the pulleys 33 to rotate, and the transmission belt 32 moves, driving the mounting plate 321 and the laser module 40 on it to move along the guide rail 22, realizing movement in the second direction.

[0032] Please see Figure 4Preferably, one of the mounting bases 31 is provided with a C-shaped adjusting base 311. The two ends of the pulley 33 axle are rotatably connected to the two side walls of the adjusting base 311. The two side walls of the mounting base 31 are provided with adjusting grooves 314. The adjusting grooves 314 extend along the length of the guide rail 22. The pulley 33 axle passes through the side wall of the adjusting base 311 and is inserted into the adjusting groove 314. The pulley 33 can move along the adjusting groove 314 to adjust the distance between the two pulleys 33, thereby achieving tension of the transmission belt 32 and ensuring movement accuracy. Furthermore, an adjusting rod 312 is provided inside the mounting base 31. The adjusting rod 312 has external threads, and its non-threaded section is rotatably connected to the mounting base 31. Limiting rings are provided at both ends of the adjusting rod 312, with the two limiting rings located on both sides of the side wall of the mounting base 31. The two limiting rings are fixed to the adjusting rod 312 to restrict the axial movement of the adjusting rod 312, so that the adjusting rod 312 can only rotate around its axis. The threaded section of the adjusting rod 312 is threadedly connected to the adjusting base 311, and the adjusting rod 312 is arranged along the length direction of the guide rail 22. Preferably, the end of the limiting rod penetrates through the outer wall of the mounting base 31, and the end of the limiting rod is located outside the mounting base 31. The end of the limiting rod is provided with a handle 313 for easy operation. Rotating the adjusting rod 312 by the handle 313 causes the adjusting seat 311 to move along the adjusting rod 312 and the adjusting groove 314, changing the position of the pulley 33. The adjusting rod 312 and the adjusting seat 311 are threaded together to restrict the axial movement of the adjusting rod 312, thereby achieving the axial positioning of the adjusting seat 311, fixing the moved pulley 33, and keeping the transmission belt 32 taut.

[0033] Please see Figure 5 One end of the mounting plate 321 is fixedly connected to the laser module 40, and the other end is provided with a second roller 34. The second roller 34 rolls in contact with the top of the guide rail 22. The guide rail 22 provides support for the mounting plate 321 and the laser module 40 on it through the second roller 34, reducing the impact of the weight of the mounting plate 321 and the laser module 40 on the movement of the transmission belt 32. The second rollers 34 are arranged in pairs, one above the other on the mounting plate 321. The upper second roller 34 is located at the top of the guide rail 22, and the lower second roller 34 is located at the bottom of the guide rail 22. The two second rollers 34 clamp the guide rail 22 between them. The mounting plate 321 is set close to the outer wall of the guide rail 22 to prevent the mounting plate 321 from tipping over.

[0034] The mounting plate 321 is provided with a vertically extending track 41, on which a slider 42 is slidably mounted. The slider 42 is fixedly connected to the laser module 40. The slider 42 moves along the track 41, thereby driving the laser module 40 to move up and down, adjusting the cutting height of the laser module 40. A locking rod 43 is provided on the slider 42, which is threadedly connected to the slider 42. Tightening the locking rod 43 adjusts the tightening depth. When the locking rod 43 is rotated until its end is pressed against the track 41, the slider 42 is fixed on the track 41, and the height of the laser module 40 is fixed. When the locking rod 43 is separated from the track 41, the slider 42 can move along the track 41, adjusting the height of the laser module 40.

[0035] The first motor 24 and the second motor 35 drive the laser module 40 to move in the first direction and the second direction, respectively. The controller is fixedly mounted on the main frame 10 and is electrically connected to the first motor 24, the second motor 35 and the laser module 40 to control the start-up and movement of the laser module 40, thereby achieving precise sampling.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
