Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette flavor capsule technology, and in particular to a flavor capsule sampling and observation device. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of popping beads, operators need to sample the dripped wet popping beads to observe their appearance and surface condition. Traditional sampling methods typically involve using a strainer to collect the wet popping beads with oily surfaces from the outlet of the popping bead dripping equipment. The strainer is then moved to a transparent disc, where the popping bead is inverted and observed by shining a flashlight on it. This method requires multiple removals and additions of the strainer and fails to effectively separate the oil during sampling, resulting in a cumbersome, time-consuming, and unsatisfactory sampling process. Furthermore, during the transfer process, the oil adhering to the popping bead surface easily drips onto the ground, causing pollution and affecting the production environment, failing to meet the requirements for rapid, efficient, and clean sampling in popping bead production. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problems of cumbersome operation, low efficiency, poor results, and easy oil contamination of the ground in traditional bursting bead sampling and observation processes. This invention provides a bursting bead sampling and observation device that simplifies the sampling process, reduces the probability of oil dripping onto the ground, and improves the overall efficiency, effectiveness, and cleanliness of the observation operation.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model discloses a popping bead sampling and observation device, comprising:

[0005] An observation dish with an opening at the top is used to hold popping beads, and the bottom of the observation dish is made of a transparent material.

[0006] The light source is positioned below the observation dish;

[0007] The chute is located above the observation dish and is inclined relative to the bottom surface of the observation dish. The two ends of the chute are the feed end and the discharge end, respectively. The distance between the feed end and the bottom surface of the observation dish is greater than the distance between the discharge end and the bottom surface of the observation dish. Along the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the observation dish, the projection of the discharge end is located within the outline of the opening of the observation dish. The bottom surface of the chute is provided with multiple oil filter holes.

[0008] An oil collection box is located below at least part of the oil filter holes.

[0009] During use, keep the chute horizontal and extend the area of ​​the chute near the feed end below the outlet of the popping bead dripping device to collect the popping beads discharged from the outlet. After popping bead sampling is completed, keep the chute horizontal for a period of time to allow the oil adhering to the popping beads to be filtered out through the oil filter holes. The oil collection box can be located below all or only some of the oil filter holes. When the oil collection box is located below the popping bead receiving area, it can collect the oil dripping from the popping beads. When the oil collection box is not located below the popping bead receiving area, ensure that other oil-collecting devices are located below the popping bead receiving area during sampling to prevent oil contamination of the ground.

[0010] After most of the oil carried by the popping bead has been filtered out, rotate the entire sampling observation device to make the bottom of the observation dish horizontal, and move the sampling observation device out from under the dripping device. At this time, the chute is tilted relative to the horizontal plane, and the popping bead and the small amount of residual oil it carries will slide down the chute. During the sliding process, the residual oil will drip into the oil collection box through the oil filter hole, while the popping bead will eventually enter the observation dish. After all the popping bead has entered the observation dish, the operator can use a light source to provide illumination to observe the popping bead.

[0011] Using the above technical solution, sampling, oil filtration, and observation of wet bursting beads can be achieved using a single device, eliminating the need to transfer the bursting beads between multiple devices and simplifying the operation. Furthermore, the design of multiple oil filtration holes on the bottom of the chute allows for the separation of oil from the bursting beads after sampling, thereby reducing the amount of oil entering the observation dish and improving the observation results. Additionally, by incorporating an oil collection box, residual oil dripping from the filter holes can be collected, preventing oil from spilling and contaminating the ground.

[0012] Optionally, the chute includes a first trough and a second trough arranged sequentially along a first direction, the first direction pointing from the feed end to the discharge end. The bottom of the first trough is provided with a plurality of first oil filter holes, and the bottom of the second trough is provided with a plurality of second oil filter holes. The diameter of the first oil filter holes is larger than the diameter of the second oil filter holes.

[0013] Optionally, the width of the first groove gradually decreases along the first direction.

[0014] Optionally, the angle between the extension direction of the groove and the bottom surface of the observation dish is 15° to 30°.

[0015] Optionally, an oil collection box is located below the second tank and is used to collect oil dripping from the second oil filter hole.

[0016] Optionally, the bottom of the oil collection box is provided with an oil drain port, and an oil drain valve is provided on the oil drain port. When the oil drain valve is in the open state, the oil in the oil collection box can be discharged from the oil drain port.

[0017] Optionally, both the first and second oil filter holes are round holes, and the first and second oil filter holes are evenly arranged.

[0018] Optionally, it also includes a base, which is connected to the bottom of the observation dish, and the base has a cavity inside which the light source is located.

[0019] Optionally, the light source is an LED lamp, with the light-emitting surface of the light source positioned opposite to the middle area of ​​the bottom surface of the observation dish.

[0020] Optionally, it also includes a power switch, which is located on the side wall of the base and is connected to the light source via a wire. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] To address the problems of cumbersome operation, low efficiency, poor results, and oil pollution on the ground in the existing technology of bursting bead sampling and observation, the present invention discloses a bursting bead sampling and observation device for sampling, filtering oil, and observing wet bursting beads. It can simplify the sampling process, reduce the probability of oil dripping onto the ground, and improve the overall efficiency, effect, and cleanliness of the observation operation.

[0030] like Figure 1The popping bead sampling and observation device provided in this embodiment includes an observation dish 1, a light source (not shown in the figure), a chute 3, and an oil receiving box 7. The observation dish 1 is used to hold popping beads, and its bottom surface is made of a transparent material. For example, the bottom surface of the observation dish 1 can be made of glass. The light source is located below the observation dish 1, and the light emitted by the light source can pass through the bottom surface of the observation dish 1 and illuminate the popping beads inside the observation dish 1, so that the operator can observe the popping beads inside the observation dish 1. An opening 2 is provided at the top of the observation dish 1. The chute 3 is located above the observation dish 1 and is inclined relative to the bottom surface of the observation dish 1. The two ends of the chute 3 are a feeding end 4 and a discharging end 5, respectively. The distance between the feeding end 4 and the bottom surface of the observation dish 1 is greater than the distance between the discharging end 5 and the bottom surface of the observation dish 1. Along a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the observation dish 1, the projection of the discharging end 5 is located within the outline of the opening 2 of the observation dish 1. When the bottom surface of the observation dish 1 is placed horizontally, and the popping beads enter the chute 3 from the feed end 4, the popping beads can roll downwards along the chute 3 under the action of gravity and fall into the observation dish 1 through the opening 2. The bottom surface of the chute 3 is provided with multiple oil filter holes 6. When the popping beads enter the chute 3, the oil adhering to the surface of the popping beads can be filtered out through the oil filter holes 6, thereby achieving the separation of the popping beads and the oil. The oil receiving box 7 is located below at least some of the oil filter holes 6 and is used to receive the oil filtered out from the oil filter holes 6.

[0031] In use, the chute 3 is kept horizontal, with the area of ​​the chute 3 near the feed end 4 extending below the outlet of the popping bead dripping device to collect the popping beads discharged from the outlet. After popping bead sampling is completed (i.e., after the chute 3 has collected a preset number of popping beads), the chute 3 is kept horizontal for a period of time to allow the oil adhering to the popping beads to be filtered out through the oil filter holes 6. For example, the chute 3 can be kept horizontal for about 10 seconds. The oil receiving box 7 can be located below all the oil filter holes 6 or only below some of the oil filter holes 6. Specifically, during sampling, the area on the chute 3 that can collect the popping beads is the popping bead receiving area. When the oil receiving box 7 is located below the popping bead receiving area, the oil receiving box 7 can collect the oil dripping from the popping beads. When the oil receiving box 7 is not located below the bursting bead receiving area, it is necessary to ensure that other devices capable of receiving oil (such as oil receiving buckets or receiving devices on the bursting bead dripping equipment) are located below the bursting bead receiving area during the sampling process to prevent oil from contaminating the ground. By allowing the bursting beads to remain in the chute 3 for a short period of time, the oil can be separated from the bursting beads, reducing the amount of oil carried by the bursting beads.

[0032] After most of the oil carried by the popping bead has been filtered out, rotate the entire sampling observation device to make the bottom surface of the observation dish 1 horizontal, and move the sampling observation device out from under the dripping device. At this time, the chute 3 is tilted relative to the horizontal plane, and the popping bead and the small amount of residual oil it carries will slide down the chute 3. During the sliding process, the residual oil will drip into the oil collection box 7 through the oil filter hole 6, while the popping bead will eventually enter the observation dish 1. After all the popping bead has entered the observation dish 1, the operator can use a light source to provide illumination to observe the popping bead.

[0033] Using the above technical solution, sampling, oil filtration, and observation of wet bursting beads can be achieved using a single device, eliminating the need to transfer the bursting beads between multiple devices and simplifying the operation. Furthermore, the design of multiple oil filter holes 6 on the bottom surface of the chute 3 allows for the separation of oil from the bursting beads after sampling, thereby reducing the amount of oil entering the observation dish 1 and improving the observation effect. Additionally, the oil collection box 7 collects residual oil dripping from the filter holes 6, preventing oil from dripping and contaminating the ground.

[0034] This application does not limit the connection method of the oil receiving box 7. For example, the oil receiving box 7 can be connected to the slide 3 and / or the observation dish 1 by welding, or it can be connected to the slide 3 and / or the observation dish 1 in a detachable manner. As long as the technical solution that enables the oil receiving box 7 to be located below at least part of the oil filter holes 6 is within the protection scope of this application.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the groove 3 includes a first direction (e.g., Figure 1 The first tank 8 and the second tank 9 are arranged sequentially in the X direction shown in the diagram, with the first direction pointing from the feed end 4 to the discharge end 5. The bottom of the first tank 8 is provided with a plurality of first oil filter holes 10, and the bottom of the second tank 9 is provided with a plurality of second oil filter holes 11. The diameter of the first oil filter holes 10 is larger than the diameter of the second oil filter holes 11.

[0036] When sampling the burst beads is required, the chute 3 is first kept horizontal and the first trough 8 is extended below the outlet of the burst bead dripping device. After the burst beads fall onto the first trough 8, the oil on the burst beads drips through the first oil filter hole 10. Since the burst beads carry a large amount of oil at this time, the diameter of the first oil filter hole 10 is set to be relatively large to improve the separation speed between the oil and the burst beads. For example, the diameter of the first oil filter hole 10 can be 1 mm.

[0037] After most of the oil carried on the popping bead has been filtered out, the bottom surface of the observation dish 1 is set horizontally. At this time, the slide 3 is set at an angle relative to the horizontal plane, and the popping bead will slide downwards along the second groove 9. By setting the diameter of the second oil filter hole 11 to be relatively small, this application can avoid the popping bead from getting stuck due to an excessively large diameter, thus ensuring that the popping bead can slide smoothly from the second groove 9. For example, the diameter of the second oil filter hole 11 can be 0.5 mm.

[0038] Furthermore, the width of the first groove 8 gradually decreases along the first direction. This design allows the wet popping beads to gradually gather and concentrate during the sliding process, which helps the popping beads to smoothly enter the second groove 9 and the observation dish 1.

[0039] Furthermore, the angle between the extending direction of the chute 3 and the bottom surface of the observation dish 1 is 15° to 30°. The applicant discovered that when the angle between the extending direction of the chute 3 and the bottom surface of the observation dish 1 is too small, the popping beads cannot smoothly enter the second groove 9 and the observation dish 1 after the sampling observation device is placed upright, easily leading to the popping beads becoming stuck and accumulating during use. When the angle is too large, the popping beads will quickly pass through the second groove 9 into the observation dish 1, causing the oil to not be fully filtered through the second oil filter hole 11 and instead enter the observation dish 1.

[0040] This application optimizes the sliding of the popping beads by setting the angle between the extension direction of the slide groove 3 and the bottom surface of the observation dish 1 to 15° to 30°. This ensures that the popping beads slide smoothly into the observation dish 1 and allows the oil to be fully filtered out, thereby improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the sampling and oil filtration process.

[0041] Furthermore, the oil receiving box 7 is located below the second tank 9, and is used to collect the oil dripping from the second oil filter hole 11. In actual production, a receiving device is generally provided below the outlet of the bursting bead dripping equipment to receive the bursting beads discharged from the outlet. When it is necessary to sample the bursting beads, the operator inserts the first tank 8 between the outlet of the bursting bead dripping equipment and the receiving device. Since a receiving device is already provided below the first tank 8, it can receive the oil dripping from the first oil filter hole 10. In this case, it is not necessary to set up the oil receiving box 7 below the first oil filter hole 10. However, when the operator removes the sampling observation device from below the outlet of the popping bead dripping equipment and sets the bottom of the observation dish 1 horizontally, since there is no receiving device below the sampling observation device at this time, it is necessary to set up an oil receiving box 7 below the second tank 9 to receive the oil dripping from the popping beads as they slide down the second tank 9, preventing the oil from directly overflowing and polluting the surrounding area of ​​the equipment, thereby helping to maintain the cleanliness of the production environment.

[0042] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the oil collection box 7 is provided with an oil drain port (not shown in the figure), and an oil drain valve 12 is provided on the oil drain port. When the oil drain valve 12 is in the open state, the oil in the oil collection box 7 can be discharged from the oil drain port. In this way, the collected oil can be discharged in a concentrated manner when needed, simplifying subsequent cleaning and maintenance operations, avoiding leakage problems caused by excessive oil accumulation in the oil collection box 7, and improving the ease of use and continuous operation capability of the equipment.

[0043] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the oil receiving box 7 can be detachably connected to the chute 3 and / or the observation dish 1. In this case, the oil in the oil receiving box 7 can also be discharged by disassembling the oil receiving box 7 and pouring it out.

[0044] Furthermore, both the first oil filter hole 10 and the second oil filter hole 11 are round holes, and they are evenly arranged. This helps to achieve rapid and uniform filtration of the oil, avoiding local blockage or oil retention caused by uneven pore size or unreasonable arrangement, thus improving filtration efficiency and effect.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the sampling observer further includes a base 13, which is located below the observation dish 1 and connected to the bottom surface of the observation dish 1. The base 13 has a cavity (not shown in the figure) and a light source is located inside the base 13. When the operator uses the sampling observer, they can hold the base 13, making it easier for the operator to hold the sampling observer. In addition, the slide 3 can be connected to the base 13 through the oil receiving box 7, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0046] Furthermore, the light source is located within the cavity of the base 13. By providing the base 13, installation space and protection can be provided for the light source.

[0047] Furthermore, the light source is an LED lamp, with the emitting surface of the light source positioned opposite the central area of ​​the bottom surface of the observation dish 1. This provides concentrated and uniform illumination, facilitating accurate observation of the details of the popping beads and improving the clarity and accuracy of the observation.

[0048] Furthermore, a power switch 14 is included, which is located on the side wall of the base 13 and is connected to the light source via a wire. The design of the power switch 14 enables convenient control of the light source, allowing operators to flexibly switch the lighting system on and off as needed, thus improving operational convenience and the practicality of the equipment.

[0049] Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the above description is a further detailed explanation of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments, and should not be construed as limiting the specific implementation of the present invention to these descriptions. Those skilled in the art can make various changes in form and detail, including some simple deductions or substitutions, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
