[0017] When testing, the electronic cigarette that completes drop test is placed on material platform 2 in the way that suction nozzle is upward by artificial or machine hand, electronic cigarette is sucked by smoking module 3, to simulate the action that human being sucks electronic cigarette, while, the smoke that is sucked out in electronic cigarette is detected by smoke sensor, so as to judge whether electronic cigarette after drop test can satisfy the function of smoking according to whether smoke, whether smoke amount reaches predetermined amount.
[0018] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 , smoking module 3 includes: support plate 31, setting is taken mechanism 32 on the support plate 31, setting is taken cylinder 33 on the support plate 31, setting is taken suction cavity 34 on the movement end of lifting cylinder 33, and pneumatic conveyor 35 is connected with suction cavity 34 by pipeline, pneumatic conveyor 35 is connected to negative pressure suction device, the bottom of suction cavity 34 is provided with smoke hole corresponding to the suction nozzle of electronic cigarette, the electronic cigarette placed on material platform 2 is clamped and fixed by clamping mechanism 32, lifting cylinder 33 drives suction cavity 34 to move downward so that smoke hole and the smoke hole of the suction nozzle of electronic cigarette are fitted. When testing, the suction nozzle of electronic cigarette is clamped and fixed by clamping mechanism 32, to avoid electronic cigarette from deviating during testing and affect test effect. After clamping and fixing, suction cavity 34 is fitted with the smoke hole of the suction nozzle of electronic cigarette by driving suction cavity 34 to move downward by lifting cylinder 33, start negative pressure suction device, to generate negative pressure suction force, so that the tobacco tar in electronic cigarette is sucked, so that tobacco tar is atomized after heating and enters into suction cavity 34, the presence or absence of smoke and the amount of smoke are detected and identified by smoke sensor, to judge whether the smoke function of electronic cigarette is affected by drop test.
