Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nicotine content detection, and in particular to an instrument for detecting nicotine content. Background Technology

[0002] E-cigarettes consist of three parts: the device, the atomizer, and the e-liquid cartridge, along with a charger. The latest technology uses disposable atomizer cartridges, requiring only the device and cartridge. This solves many problems associated with previous e-cigarettes, such as easily damaged atomizers, low vapor production, and poor flavor. Furthermore, professional factory filling prevents overfilling or underfilling, which can lead to e-liquid flowing back into the mouth or damaging the battery circuitry. These cartridges hold more e-liquid than traditional cartridges, have better sealing, longer lifespan, and offer better value. The atomizer is a heating element powered by a battery, which heats the surrounding e-liquid, causing it to evaporate and create vapor.

[0003] After e-cigarettes are manufactured, their nicotine content needs to be tested. Excessive nicotine levels can seriously affect the health and lives of smokers. Existing nicotine testing instruments are expensive and inconvenient for smokers to use. While an existing nicotine content testing instrument (patent number 202222670411.4) can detect nicotine content in e-cigarettes, its inhalation system uses a simple tube, resulting in concentrated nicotine concentration at a single point on the test strip, leading to inaccurate data. Therefore, this paper proposes a new nicotine content testing instrument to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, the main purpose of this utility model is to provide a nicotine content detector. The air pump is activated to drive airflow and simulate smoking. The smoke smoothly enters the placement frame. Multiple air inlets are set at the air inlet end to ensure that the smoke enters the air pump from multiple points, so that the smoke is evenly distributed on the surface of the test paper and cotton inside the placement frame. The nicotine content is judged by color, and the detection data is relatively accurate.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a nicotine content detector, comprising a detection frame arranged in a cuboid shape, wherein an installation socket for installing an electronic cigarette mouthpiece is installed on the top of the cuboid detection frame, penetrating the upper surface of the detection frame.

[0006] The detection frame has a placement frame installed inside, and the upper and lower sides of the placement frame are fixedly connected with mesh plates.

[0007] An air pump is fixedly connected to the bottom surface inside the detection frame. The input end of the air pump is connected to an air inlet hood through a connecting pipe. Multiple sets of air inlets facing the mesh plate are installed on the top of the air inlet hood.

[0008] The output end of the air pump is connected to a gas handling box that is fixedly connected to the detection frame via a connecting pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing plate is rotatably connected to the rear side of the detection frame, and a fixing buckle for connecting the detection frame and the sealing plate is installed on one side of both the detection frame and the sealing plate.

[0010] Furthermore, an observation plate is installed on the front end of the detection frame, and the observation plate is made of transparent glass. Multiple sets of operation buttons are fixedly connected to the detection frame below the observation plate.

[0011] After e-cigarette production, the nicotine content needs to be tested. Excessive nicotine levels can seriously affect the health and lives of smokers. Currently available nicotine testing instruments are expensive and inconvenient for smokers to use. While existing products can detect nicotine, their inhalation system uses a simple tube, causing concentrated nicotine concentration on the test strip and resulting in inaccurate data. A newer approach addresses this by placing a cotton layer and nicotine test strip inside the testing frame. By activating an air pump to circulate air and inserting the e-cigarette mouthpiece into the mounting socket, simulating smoking, the smoke can smoothly enter the frame. Multiple air inlets ensure that smoke enters the pump from multiple points, resulting in even distribution of smoke on the test strip and cotton surface within the frame. Nicotine content can then be determined by color, leading to more accurate data.

[0012] Furthermore, a one-way valve for unidirectional gas flow is installed on the outside of the connecting pipe to the output end of the air pump.

[0013] Furthermore, a connecting pipe is fixedly connected inside the gas handling box. One side of the connecting pipe is connected to the output end of the air pump, and the other end of the connecting pipe is connected to an exhaust hood facing downwards.

[0014] Furthermore, the exhaust hood is bucket-shaped and immersed in a reaction liquid inside the gas treatment chamber for reacting with nicotine gas.

[0015] Furthermore, a horizontally positioned baffle is installed inside the gas treatment box, and an exhaust pipe is fixedly connected inside the baffle. The other end of the exhaust pipe passes through the gas treatment box and connects to the detection frame.

[0016] The flue gas can be discharged into the gas treatment chamber through the exhaust pump. It comes into contact with the reaction liquid inside the gas treatment chamber through the connecting gas pipe and exhaust hood, ensuring that the nicotine comes into contact with the reaction liquid and reacts, thus ensuring the quality of the discharged air and avoiding environmental pollution.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] The test frame contains a cotton layer and nicotine test strips. By activating the air pump to circulate air, the e-cigarette mouthpiece is inserted into the mounting socket, simulating smoking. The smoke can smoothly enter the test frame. Because there are multiple air inlets at the air inlet, the smoke can enter the air pump from multiple points, achieving uniform distribution of smoke on the test strips and cotton surface inside the test frame. The nicotine content can be determined by color, and the test data is relatively accurate.

[0019] The flue gas can be discharged into the gas treatment chamber through the exhaust pump. It comes into contact with the reaction liquid inside the gas treatment chamber through the connecting gas pipe and exhaust hood, ensuring that the nicotine comes into contact with the reaction liquid and reacts, thus ensuring the quality of the discharged air and avoiding environmental pollution.

[0024] 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 some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0025] Example

[0026] An instrument for detecting nicotine content, such as Figure 1-3As shown, it includes a detection frame 1 arranged in a cuboid shape, and a mounting socket 4 for installing an electronic cigarette mouthpiece is installed on the top of the cuboid detection frame 1, which penetrates the upper surface of the detection frame 1.

[0027] The detection frame 1 has a placement frame 7 installed inside, and the upper and lower sides of the placement frame 7 are fixedly connected with mesh plates 8.

[0028] An air pump 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the inner side of the detection frame 1. The input end of the air pump 9 is connected to an air inlet hood 10 through a connecting pipe. Multiple sets of air inlets 11 facing the mesh plate 8 are installed on the top of the air inlet hood 10.

[0029] The output end of the air pump 9 is connected to the gas handling box 13, which is fixedly connected to the detection frame 1, through a connecting pipe.

[0030] The rear side of the detection frame 1 is rotatably connected to a sealing plate 2 that is sealed to the detection frame 1. Both the detection frame 1 and the sealing plate 2 are equipped with fixing buckles 3 for connecting the detection frame 1 and the sealing plate 2.

[0031] An observation plate 5 is installed on the front end of the detection frame 1. The observation plate 5 is made of transparent glass. Multiple sets of operation buttons 6 are fixedly connected to the detection frame 1 below the observation plate 5.

[0032] After the production of e-cigarettes is completed, the nicotine content in the e-cigarettes needs to be tested. If the nicotine content exceeds the standard, it will seriously affect the health and life of smokers. When smokers need to know the nicotine content in the cigarette, the existing nicotine content testing instruments are relatively expensive, which is not conducive to smokers to test the nicotine content. Although the existing products can test the nicotine content, their inhalation part uses a simple tube for inhalation. Therefore, the smoke is concentrated in a single tube and the nicotine is concentrated in the same place on the test paper, resulting in inaccurate test data. By setting up a cotton layer and nicotine test paper inside the test frame 1, the air pump 9 is activated to drive the air flow. The e-cigarette mouthpiece is inserted into the installation mouthpiece 4. At this time, smoking can be simulated. The smoke can smoothly enter the placement frame 7. Since there are multiple air inlets 11 at the air inlet end, it can be ensured that the smoke enters the air pump 9 from multiple points. The smoke is evenly distributed on the surface of the test paper and cotton inside the placement frame 7. The nicotine content can be judged by color, and the test data is more accurate.

[0033] In this embodiment, the upper and lower mesh plates 8 are used to ensure that the smoke can pass smoothly through the placement frame 7 and enter the lower part. The side of the placement frame 7 facing the sealing plate 2 is open, which makes it convenient to replace the nicotine test paper and cotton after opening the sealing plate 2, so as to facilitate continuous testing. Multiple air inlets 11 facing the mesh plate 8 are provided above the air inlet hood 10, so that the smoke can pass through the cotton and nicotine test paper at multiple points and evenly.

[0034] The observation panel 5 is made of transparent glass, which makes it easy for personnel to observe the internal situation. The operation button 6 is used to control the start of the air pump 9.

[0035] A one-way valve 12 for unidirectional gas flow is installed on the outside of the connecting pipe to the output end of the air pump 9.

[0036] The gas handling box 13 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 14. One side of the connecting pipe 14 is connected to the output end of the air pump 9, and the other end of the connecting pipe 14 is connected to an exhaust hood 15 facing downward.

[0037] The exhaust hood 15 is bucket-shaped and is immersed in the reaction liquid inside the gas treatment chamber 13 for reacting with nicotine gas.

[0038] The gas handling box 13 is also equipped with a horizontally set baffle 16. An exhaust pipe 17 is fixedly connected inside the baffle 16. The other end of the exhaust pipe 17 passes through the gas handling box 13 and communicates with the detection frame 1.

[0039] The flue gas can be discharged into the gas treatment box 13 through the exhaust pump 9. It comes into contact with the reaction liquid inside the gas treatment box 13 through the connecting pipe 14 and the exhaust hood 15, ensuring that the nicotine comes into contact with the reaction liquid and reacts, ensuring the quality of the discharged air and avoiding environmental pollution.

[0040] The one-way valve 12 ensures that the flue gas can only flow in one direction and prevents it from flowing back. The exhaust hood 15 is immersed below the surface of the reaction liquid to ensure that the exhaust gas is in full contact with the reaction liquid. White vinegar can be used as the reaction liquid. The exhaust pipe 17 on one side of the baffle 16 facilitates the smooth discharge of the flue gas after it has come into contact with the reaction liquid to the external environment.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described 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 or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
