Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A flavor capsule is a small liquid bead embedded in a tobacco filter. It contains liquid flavorings of various types, which smokers can pop during smoking to release the liquid, enriching the flavor and providing a different experience. The dripper is a key component in flavor capsule production equipment. Currently, drippers used in flavor capsule production include a core material conveying channel and a wall material conveying channel, with the wall material conveying channel surrounding the core material conveying channel. The dripper has an outlet at its end, which connects to the ends of both the wall material and core material conveying channels. The operator can see the cross-sections of the wall material and core material conveying channels through the outlet. The roundness and concentricity of the wall material and core material conveying channels affect the quality of the flavor capsules. In actual production, the drippers need to be disassembled and cleaned regularly. Disassembly and cleaning, as well as prolonged use, can cause changes in the concentricity and roundness of the core and wall material conveying channels, thus affecting the quality of the flavor capsules. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check the roundness and eccentricity of the two channels at the dripper outlet to ensure the drippers are up to standard.

[0003] Currently, the inspection of the roundness and eccentricity of the core material conveying channel and the wall material conveying channel mainly relies on the operator to visually inspect the cross-section of the wall material conveying channel and the core material conveying channel by hand or by using a vernier caliper. This is not only labor-intensive, but also has large inspection errors and cannot effectively determine whether the dripper is qualified. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] Currently, the inspection of the roundness and eccentricity of the core material delivery channel and wall material delivery channel on the dripper mainly relies on the operator's visual inspection or measurement with a handheld vernier caliper. This is not only labor-intensive but also has large inspection errors, making it impossible to effectively determine whether the dripper is qualified.

[0031] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a detection device that can accurately measure the roundness and eccentricity of the two channels at the drip tip outlet without operator visual inspection or manual measurement, saving manpower and reducing detection errors.

[0032] To make the technical solution and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below.

[0033] refer to Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides a detection device, including a housing 1, a mounting base 2, a collection unit 3, and a processing unit (not shown in the figure). The mounting base 2 is located inside the housing 1 and has a limiting groove 21, into which the dripper 4 can be placed. The dripper 4 has an inner channel 41 and an outer channel 42 (the inner channel 41 is the core material conveying channel, and the outer channel 42 is the wall material conveying channel). The outer channel 42 surrounds the outside of the inner channel 41. The end of the dripper 4 has an outlet 5, which communicates with the ends of the inner channel 41 and the outer channel 42. Figure 3 As shown. The acquisition unit 3 is located inside the housing 1. When the drip head 4 is placed in the limiting groove 21, the outlet 5 faces the acquisition end of the acquisition unit 3, and the acquisition unit 3 can acquire the image of the outlet 5. Exemplarily, the acquisition unit 3 includes a camera. The opening of the limiting groove 21 faces upward, the camera is located directly above the limiting groove 21, and the camera's shooting end faces the opening of the limiting groove 21. The processing unit is electrically connected to the acquisition unit 3. The acquisition unit 3 can send the image to the processing unit, which can calculate the eccentricity and / or roundness of the inner channel 41 and outer channel 42 at the outlet 5, and determine whether the eccentricity and / or roundness of the inner channel 41 and outer channel 42 are qualified. Exemplarily, the processing unit may include an eccentricity calculator and a roundness calculator. The eccentricity calculator is used to calculate the eccentricity of the inner channel 41 and outer channel 42, and the roundness calculator is used to calculate the roundness of the inner channel 41 and outer channel 42.

[0034] When it is necessary to test the roundness and eccentricity of the inner channel 41 and outer channel 42 on the dripper 4, the dripper 4 is first placed in the limiting groove 21, with the outlet 5 on the dripper 4 facing the acquisition end of the acquisition unit 3. Then, the acquisition unit 3 acquires an image of the outlet 5, which displays the cross-sections of the inner channel 41 and outer channel 42. After acquisition, the acquisition unit 3 sends the image to the processing unit. The processing unit calculates the eccentricity and roundness of the inner channel 41 and outer channel 42 at the outlet 5, and determines whether the values ​​of eccentricity and roundness are within the acceptable range. If either the eccentricity or roundness value is outside the acceptable range, the dripper 4 is deemed unqualified. This application eliminates the need for operator visual inspection or manual measurement, enabling accurate measurement of the roundness and eccentricity of the two channels at the outlet 5 of the dripper 4, saving manpower and reducing detection errors.

[0035] Optionally, refer to Figure 2The mounting base 2 is also equipped with a locking element 6, which can switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking element 6 is in the locked state, the locking end of the locking element 6 can abut against the surface of the dropper 4 facing the collection unit 3 to prevent the dropper 4 from moving out of the limiting groove 21. Exemplarily, the locking element 6 is a clamp. The clamp includes a fixing part 61 and a rotating part 62. The fixing part 61 is connected to the mounting base 2, and the rotating part 62 can rotate relative to the fixing part 61. The end of the rotating part 62 is the locking end. When the rotating part 62 rotates until its locking end abuts against the surface of the dropper 4 facing the collection unit 3, the locking element 6 is in the locked state. When the locking element 6 is removed from the surface of the dropper 4, the locking element 6 is in the unlocked state.

[0036] This application, by providing a locking element 6, can lock the dropper 4 within the limiting groove 21 to prevent the dropper 4 from moving during the testing process and affecting the testing results. When the testing is finished, the locking element 6 is unlocked to remove the dropper 4 from the limiting groove 21.

[0037] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The side wall of the housing 1 is provided with an observation port 7. The upper surface of the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with two lines along a first direction (such as...). Figure 2 The slide rails 8 are spaced apart in the X direction (as shown in the image), and the slide rails 8 are arranged along the second direction (as shown in the image). Figure 2 Extending in the Y direction (as shown in the figure). The bottom of the mounting base 2 has two sliding members (not shown in the figure), each slidably connected to two slide rails 8. The sliding members can move along the slide rails 8 to drive the mounting base 2 to reciprocate between a first position and a second position. When the mounting base 2 is in the first position, it is completely inside the housing 1. When the mounting base 2 is in the second position, it is at least partially moved outside the housing 1 through the observation port 7.

[0038] When the dripper 4 needs to be inspected, first move the mounting base 2 to the second position, so that the limiting groove 21 on the mounting base 2 is outside the machine cover 1, making it easy for the operator to place the dripper 4 into the limiting groove 21 and lock the dripper 4 with the locking piece 6. Then, move the mounting base 2 to the first position so that the acquisition unit 3 can acquire the image of the outlet 5. When the inspection is finished, the mounting base 2 can be moved to the second position again so that the operator can remove the dripper 4 from the mounting base 2.

[0039] Optionally, refer to Figure 1A sliding door 9 is provided on the side wall of the housing 1. The sliding door 9 can slide back and forth in a first direction to close or open the observation port 7. By providing the sliding door 9, this application allows the observation port 7 to be closed when the dripper 4 is being tested, so as to prevent external dust from entering the housing 1 and contaminating the dripper 4. When the test is finished, the sliding door 9 can be moved to open the observation port 7 so that the dripper 4 can be removed from the housing 1.

[0040] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 The upper surface of the mounting base 2 is parallel to the top of the machine cover 1, and a level 10 is provided on the top of the machine cover 1. The level 10 is used to detect whether the upper surface of the mounting base 2 is parallel to the horizontal plane. A leveling adjustment component is provided at the bottom of the machine cover 1 to adjust the levelness of the machine cover 1. Specifically, refer to... Figure 1 The leveling component includes four leveling cups 11, which are located at the four corners of the bottom of the housing 1. The height of the connection points between the four leveling cups 11 and the housing 1 can be adjusted along the vertical direction (e.g., ...). Figure 1 Adjustment is shown in the Z direction. Before starting to test the dripper 4, observe the level 10 to determine whether the upper surface of the mounting base 2 is parallel to the horizontal plane. If the level 10 does not show horizontal, adjust the height of the cover 1 using the four level cups 11 until the level 10 shows horizontal, and then start testing the dripper 4. This application, by setting the level 10 and the level adjustment component, can avoid the problem of large error in the test results caused by the upper surface of the mounting base 2 not being horizontal, which would lead to the dripper 4 being tilted.

[0041] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 The housing 1 is also equipped with an illumination element 12, which is located on the inner wall of the housing 1. The illumination element 12 serves as a light source to illuminate the interior of the housing 1 so that the acquisition unit 3 can acquire relevant images from the dripper 4.

[0042] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 It also includes an operation screen 13, which is located on the outer surface of the housing 1. The operation screen 13 is equipped with a start button 14, which is used to control the acquisition unit 3 to start acquiring images. This design facilitates the operator to control the acquisition unit 3 and acquire relevant images from the dripper 4.
