Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary testing devices for popping bead filter rods, specifically, to a testing platform for popping bead filter rods. Background Technology
[0002] As an important part of the cigarette market, the quality requirements for capsule cigarettes are constantly increasing. The integrity of the capsule filter rod can be damaged in various stages such as production process, logistics and transportation, warehousing and preservation, cigarette processing, and sales and distribution, which may pose a threat to product quality and safety and affect the company's high-quality market image. In response to the risk of leakage of capsule filter rods, the project team has developed an inbound inspection method. However, during the inspection process, it was found that the positioning and angle selection of the capsule filter rod can slightly affect the test results due to different operating methods of different operators.
[0003] Currently, widely used methods for detecting popping beads include visual inspection using a lightbox, microwave resonance method, terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, and ultraviolet resonance-enhanced Raman scattering (UVRAS) imaging detection technology. Except for the lightbox method, other methods require large instruments and highly automated sample introduction devices. The lightbox visual inspection method lacks a dedicated sample testing station, and the entire operation is performed manually. The lightbox visual inspection method is highly dependent on manual labor, has low detection efficiency, and its accuracy is easily affected by uncertain factors such as the examiner's eyesight, experience level, and the light transmittance of the filter rod. Microwave resonance method, terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, and UVRAS imaging detection technology require large equipment, need professional maintenance, and are not suitable for all environments.

[0018] The exemplary embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments to aid understanding, and should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.
[0019] The term "comprising" and its variations as used herein signify open inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". Unless otherwise stated, the term "or" means "and / or". The term "based on" means "at least partially based on". The terms "one example embodiment" and "one embodiment" mean "at least one example embodiment". The term "another embodiment" means "at least one additional embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc., may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.
[0020] To at least partially solve one or more of the above-mentioned problems and other potential problems, embodiments of this disclosure provide a beaded filter rod testing station, comprising: a support part 1 and a limiting part 2, the limiting part 2 being fixedly disposed above the support part 1, the limiting part 2 including a receiving cavity 21 extending along both ends of the limiting part 2, the inlet and outlet of the receiving cavity 21 being opened at the front end and rear end of the limiting part 2, the limiting part 2 having at least one set of light-passing notches 22, the at least one light-passing notch 22 being symmetrically disposed on both sides of the receiving cavity 21, and the light-passing notch 22 communicating with the outside of the receiving cavity 21 and the limiting part 2.
[0021] Specifically, the support part 1 provides a platform for placing the limiting part 2, thereby achieving stable placement of the limiting part 2. The support part 1 can be any platform with a stable support structure, such as a cylindrical platform structure, a truncated pyramid structure, or other bases, as long as it can fix the limiting part 2.
[0022] The inlet and outlet of the receiving cavity 21 of the limiting part 2 are connected. The receiving cavity 21 is used to place the filter rod. The shape of the receiving cavity 21 can be set according to the shape of the filter rod to adapt to different filter rod placement requirements. The length of the limiting part 2 and the receiving cavity 21 can be set according to the length of the filter rod.
[0023] Each set of light-passing notches 22 includes a left notch and a right notch. The light-passing notches 22 are formed on the outer wall of the receiving cavity 21 of the limiting part 2. The left notch and the right notch are symmetrical about the length direction of the receiving cavity 21. The distribution of the light-passing notches 22 in the length direction of the receiving cavity 21 is set according to the position of the burst beads on the filter rod. For example, if the length of the receiving cavity 21 is equal to the length of the filter rod, and the burst bead is located at the midpoint of the filter rod, then the light-passing notch 22 is set at the midpoint of the receiving cavity 21. The size of the light-passing notch 22 can be set according to the size of the burst bead, or in other embodiments, according to the required optical path cross-sectional area of the emitted light of the test device. The light-passing notches 22 connect the receiving cavity 21 and the outside of the limiting part 2, so that the emitted light of the test device enters from the light-passing notch 22 on one side of the receiving cavity 21 (e.g., the left notch), passes through the filter rod (burst bead position) inside the receiving cavity 21, and exits from the light-passing notch 22 on the other side of the receiving cavity 21 (e.g., the right notch).
[0024] In some embodiments, the support portion 1 includes a first support frame and a second support frame, which are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the base plate 24, respectively.
[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the support part 1 includes a first support frame and a second support frame respectively disposed below the limiting part 2. By symmetrically arranging the first support frame and the second support frame at the front and rear ends of the limiting part 2, the limiting part 2 is stably supported. At the same time, the weight of the support part 1 is reduced compared to the integrated table-shaped base, thus increasing portability.
[0026] In some embodiments, the first support frame and the second support frame adopt a rectangular frame structure, and the top edge of the rectangular frame structure is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the top plate.
[0027] Specifically, the first support frame and the second support frame adopt the same result, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first support frame includes a left support column, a right support column, and a top rod, with the top rod fixedly installed at the top of the left and right support columns.
[0028] In some embodiments, the receiving cavity 21 has a top opening that connects the inlet and outlet of the receiving cavity 21.
[0029] Specifically, the receiving cavity 21 adopts an open structure, which increases the convenience of adjusting the position of the filter rod through a connected top opening, inlet and outlet.
[0030] In some embodiments, the receiving cavity 21 has an arc-shaped structure in its cross-section perpendicular to the length direction.
[0031] Specifically, the receiving cavity 21 has a cylindrical inner wall, and when it has a top opening, the cross-section perpendicular to the length direction is an arc structure, such as a half-circle arc or a quarter-circle arc. By setting the curved inner wall of the receiving cavity 21 to fit the cylindrical structure of the filter rod, the stability of the filter rod is increased.
[0032] In some embodiments, the limiting part 2 includes a left side plate 23, a bottom plate 24 and a right side plate 25. The lower surface of the bottom plate 24 is fixedly connected to the support part 1. The left side plate 23 and the right side plate 25 are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the bottom plate 24. A receiving cavity 21 is formed between the left side plate 23, the bottom plate 24 and the right side plate 25. At least one set of light-passing notches 22 are symmetrically opened on the left side plate 23 and the right side plate 25.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the left side plate 23, the bottom plate 24, and the right side plate 25 adopt a flat plate structure. The left side plate 23 and the right side plate 25 are vertically arranged on the upper surface of the bottom plate 24, and a receiving cavity 21 with a top opening is formed between the left side plate 23, the bottom plate 24, and the right side plate 25. One of the light-passing notches 22 in each group is opened on the left side plate 23, and the other is opened on the right side plate 25.
[0034] In some embodiments, the limiting part 2 has multiple sets of light-passing notches 22, and the multiple sets of light-passing notches 22 are distributed along the length direction of the receiving cavity 21 at a preset interval.
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the number of light-passing notches 22 is set according to the number of pop beads on the filter rod, and the distance between adjacent groups of light-passing notches 22 is determined by the number of corresponding adjacent pop beads on the filter rod. For example, if the filter rod includes four pop beads, then there are four groups of light-passing notches 22, and the positions of the four groups of light-passing notches 22 correspond to the positions of the four pop beads on the filter rod.
[0036] In some embodiments, the light-passing notch 22 is a rectangular toothed groove formed on the right side plate 25 and the left side plate 23. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1-2 As shown. In other embodiments, the shape and size of the light-passing notch 22 can be set according to the shape and size of the filter rod beads.
[0037] The various embodiments of this disclosure have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or technical improvements to the embodiments in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand this document.
