[0031] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0032] This utility model provides a cigarette diameter detection device, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a transmitter 1, a receiver 2, and a fixing member 3. The transmitter 1 emits a light beam signal, the receiver 2 receives the light beam signal emitted by the transmitter 1, and the fixing member 3 secures the cigarette to be tested 5 between the transmitter 1 and the receiver 2. The transmitter 1 emits a light beam signal along the X direction, and the emitted light beam signal has a coverage width in the Y direction, with the X direction perpendicular to the Y direction. In the fixed state, the axial direction of the cigarette to be tested 5 is along the Z direction, and the light beam signal emitted by the transmitter 1 covers the cigarette to be tested 5 in the Y direction, where the X direction is perpendicular to both the X and Y directions. It should be noted that the XYZ directions are only used to indicate relative positional relationships.
[0033] Specifically, X-Y-Z is a spatial right-angle direction coordinate system. The emission direction of the light beam signal is the X direction, and the coverage range of the light beam signal is along the Y direction. After the to-be-measured cigarette 5 is fixed between the emitter 1 and the receiver 2 by the fixing member 3, the axial direction of the to-be-measured cigarette 5 is along the Z direction. That is, when the to-be-measured cigarette 5 is fixed by the fixing member 3, the X direction and the Y direction are both along the radial direction of the to-be-measured cigarette 5, and the light beam signal is emitted along the X direction, that is, emitted along the radial direction of the to-be-measured cigarette 5.
[0034] In addition, the light beam signal covers the to-be-measured cigarette 5 along the Y direction, so that the to-be-measured cigarette 5 can block part of the light beam signal emitted by the emitter 1. Since the light beam signal propagates along a straight line, the to-be-measured cigarette 5 located between the emitter 1 and the receiver 2 blocks part of the light beam signal, so that the receiver 2 cannot receive the blocked part of the light beam signal. Specifically, in combination with FIG. 2, arrows represent the light beam direction of the light beam signal emitted by the emitter 1, and the length of the part (the shaded part) of the light beam signal not received by the receiver 2 along the Y direction is the diameter of the to-be-measured cigarette 5. By reading the length of the part of the light beam signal not received by the receiver 2, the diameter detection result of the to-be-measured cigarette 5 can be obtained. Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 2, arrows represent the light beam direction of the light beam signal emitted by the emitter 1, and the length of the part (the shaded part) of the light beam signal not received by the receiver 2 along the Y direction is the diameter of the to-be-measured cigarette 5. By reading the length of the part of the light beam signal not received by the receiver 2, the diameter detection result of the to-be-measured cigarette 5 can be obtained.
[0035] After the diameter detection of the to-be-measured cigarette 5 is completed, the to-be-measured cigarette 5 is taken out of the fixing member 3, and then a new to-be-measured cigarette 5 is fixed on the fixing member 3 to perform diameter detection. During the replacement of the to-be-measured cigarette 5, the emitter 1 and the receiver 2 can be in the light beam signal emission and reception state at all times, and do not need to be frequently started and stopped.
[0036] The entire diameter detection process of the to-be-measured cigarette 5 is simple, convenient, fast, efficient, and has good accuracy compared with manual detection.
[0037] In some preferred embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the fixing member 3 includes a first fixing member 31 and a second fixing member 32. The first fixing member 31 and the second fixing member 32 are arranged in a spaced-apart manner along the Z direction, and the emitter 1 and the receiver 2 are located between the first fixing member 31 and the second fixing member 32. Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1, the fixing member 3 includes a first fixing member 31 and a second fixing member 32. The first fixing member 31 and the second fixing member 32 are arranged in a spaced-apart manner along the Z direction, and the emitter 1 and the receiver 2 are located between the first fixing member 31 and the second fixing member 32. The diameter detection of the cigarette of the cigarette generally needs to detect the diameter of the middle part of the cigarette. The first fixing member 31 and the second fixing member 32 are used to fix the to-be-measured cigarette 5, and the emitter 1 and the receiver 2 are located between the first fixing member 31 and the second fixing member 32, and are used to detect the diameter of the middle part of the to-be-measured cigarette 5.
[0038] In some preferred embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the fixing member 3 includes a first fixing member 31 and a second fixing member 32. The first fixing member 31 and the second fixing member 32 are arranged in a spaced-apart manner along the Z direction, and the emitter 1 and the receiver 2 are located between the first fixing member 31 and the second fixing member 32. Figure 1As shown, the first fixing member 31 has a sleeve 33 for fixing one side end of the to-be-tested cigarette 5, and the second fixing member 32 has a through hole 34 penetrating in the Z direction, and the sleeve 33 is opposite to the through hole 34 in the Z direction. During installation, the to-be-tested cigarette 5 is first inserted into the through hole 34 in the Z direction, and then one end of the to-be-tested cigarette 5 is inserted into the sleeve 33, and the to-be-tested cigarette 5 is fixed through the sleeve 33 and the through hole 34. During disassembly, the to-be-tested cigarette 5 that has completed the detection can be pulled out from the first fixing member 31 and the second fixing member 32 in the Z direction. The to-be-tested cigarette 5 is convenient and fast to disassemble and assemble, and the detection efficiency is improved.
[0039] In some preferred embodiments, in the fixed state, the to-be-tested cigarette 5 is in a critical contact state with the inner side wall of the sleeve 33 and the side wall of the through hole 34. The critical contact state refers to the critical point between two objects or surfaces that is about to contact or separate. The to-be-tested cigarette 5 is in a critical contact state with the inner side wall of the sleeve 33 and the side wall of the through hole 34, which meets the fixing function requirement of the to-be-tested cigarette 5, and also avoids applying stress to the to-be-tested cigarette 5 to cause deformation of the to-be-tested cigarette 5.
[0040] For example, the cigarette diameter of the thick cigarette is generally 7.7±0.2mm, and the diameter of the through hole 34 and the inner diameter of the sleeve 33 are 7.9mm. When the cigarette diameter of the thick cigarette is 7.5mm, the difference between the cigarette diameter of the thick cigarette and the diameter of the through hole 34 and the inner diameter of the sleeve 33 is only 0.4mm, which is less than one tenth of the diameter of the thick cigarette. Therefore, when the thick cigarette with a diameter of 7.5mm is fixed through the through hole 34 and the sleeve 33 with a diameter of 7.9mm, it can be determined that the thick cigarette is in a critical contact state with the inner wall of the through hole 34 and the inner side wall of the sleeve 33. Therefore, when the diameter of the thick cigarette is greater than 7.5mm and less than 7.9mm, the thick cigarette can form a critical contact state with the inner wall of the through hole 34 and the inner side wall of the sleeve 33.
[0041] In some preferred embodiments, in combination with the accompanying drawings Figure 3 and the accompanying drawings Figure 4 As shown, the first fixing member 31 and the second fixing member 32 are fixedly connected with a support member 6. The support member 6 improves the stability of the entire detection device, and also provides a loading platform for the transmitter 1 and the receiver 2.
[0042] In some preferred embodiments, the support member 6 is detachable from the first fixing member 31 and / or the second fixing member 32. The detachable connection between the support member 6 and the fixing member 3 is convenient for disassembly and maintenance, and different heights of the support member 6 can be replaced to adjust the distance between the first fixing member 31 and the second fixing member 32, so as to adjust the fixed position of the first fixing member 31 and the second fixing member 32 to the to-be-tested cigarette 5, so that different lengths of the to-be-tested cigarette 5 can be detected.
[0043] In some preferred embodiments, when the to-be-tested cigarette 5 is fixed by the fixing member 3, the receiver 2 is in a critical contact state with the to-be-tested cigarette 5. When the transmitter 1 and the receiver 2 are far apart, the light diffraction phenomenon caused by the partial light beam signal emitted by the transmitter 1 being blocked by the to-be-tested cigarette 5 is large, so that the area on the receiver 2 where the light beam signal is not received will deviate and affect the detection result. Therefore, when actually detecting, when the to-be-tested cigarette 5 is fixed between the transmitter 1 and the receiver 2, the distance between the transmitter 1 and the receiver 2 needs to be shortened as much as possible without interfering with the to-be-tested cigarette 5, and the to-be-tested cigarette 5 needs to be as close to the receiver 2 as possible to make the receiver 2 in a critical contact state with the to-be-tested cigarette 5, reduce the light diffraction phenomenon, and improve the detection accuracy.
[0044] In some preferred embodiments, the fixing member 3 is used to fix a plurality of to-be-tested cigarettes 5, and when the to-be-tested cigarette 5 is fixed by the fixing member 3, the plurality of to-be-tested cigarettes 5 are distributed along the Y direction. The fixing member 3 can fix a plurality of to-be-tested cigarettes 5 to improve the detection efficiency. The plurality of to-be-tested cigarettes 5 are distributed along the Y direction to avoid the to-be-tested cigarettes 5 overlapping each other in the Y direction and affecting the detection result.
[0045] In some preferred embodiments, in the fixed state, there is a gap between adjacent to-be-tested cigarettes 5. The to-be-tested cigarettes 5 with the gap can reduce the light diffraction phenomenon and improve the detection accuracy.
[0046] In the utility model, still provide a diameter detection equipment of cigarette, combine with the Figure 5 and the Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the diameter detection equipment includes power supply 7, processor 8 and diameter detection device of any one of the above embodiments. The power supply 7 is used to provide the electric energy required for detection. The processor 8 and the receiver 2 are electrically connected with a charge coupled device, and the charge coupled device is used to convert the light signal received by the receiver 2 into a digital signal that can be processed by the processor 8, such as a CCD charge coupled device. The processor 8 is used to process the detection result and display the result in the form of display screen or voice broadcast, so that the detection worker can intuitively obtain and read the detection result. In the embodiment, the support 6 provides a mounting platform for the power supply 7 and the processor 8.
[0047] The preferred embodiments of the utility model are described in detail above, but the utility model is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments, and various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the utility model within the technical concept of the utility model, and these simple modifications all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
[0048] In addition, it should be noted that the various specific technical features described in the foregoing detailed description can be combined in any suitable manner in the specific embodiments, without departing from the scope of the application. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the application will not describe each possible combination of the various features. In the claims that follow, the word "comprising" does not exclude other elements being added to the combination of elements stated in the claim. The word "a" or "an" preceding an element does not exclude the presence of a plurality of such elements. The application can also be implemented only by a single element.
[0049] Furthermore, the various embodiments of the application can also be combined with each other in any suitable manner, as long as they do not contradict the idea of the application. They should therefore also be considered as disclosed by the application.
