Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco shred detection technology, specifically to a cigarette end shred measuring instrument. Background Technology
[0002] Throughout the entire process of cigarette manufacturing, packaging, storage, and transportation, a certain amount of tobacco inevitably falls out of the cigarette pack. This tobacco loss affects both consumers and the product quality image of cigarette manufacturers. Both producers and consumers are sensitive to tobacco falling out at the cigarette tip, especially the resulting gaps. Therefore, the amount of tobacco falling out at the cigarette tip is an important indicator of cigarette product quality.
[0003] The cigarette tip shred tester is an instrument used to test the stability of cigarette tips, simulating the actual situation of tobacco shreds falling off cigarette tips after the finished cigarette leaves the factory, during distribution, and in smokers' pockets. However, current cigarette tip shred testers have the following shortcomings: existing methods for detecting the amount of tobacco shreds at the cigarette tip are not very accurate, require manual assistance, and cannot accurately reflect the amount of tobacco shreds at the cigarette tip under different conditions. Therefore, they cannot meet the needs of manufacturers to adjust production processes promptly based on the results of the tobacco tip shred test, and thus require improvement. Utility Model Content

[0031] 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 in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A cigarette end-felling measuring instrument includes a base plate 1 and a cigarette end-felling collection box 2, a rotating mechanism 3, a clamping and positioning mechanism 4, a square box head holder 5, and a square box head holder 6 located on the base plate 1. The cigarette end-felling collection box 2 is located in the middle, and the rotating mechanism 3 and the clamping and positioning mechanism 4 are located on both sides of the cigarette end-felling collection box 2. The rotating mechanism 3 can drive the cigarette end-felling collection box 2 to rotate.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 The base plate 1 is a flat plate. If it is set independently in this application, a base plate can be added at the bottom of the rotating mechanism 3 and the clamping and positioning mechanism 4. The connection between the rotating mechanism 3, the clamping and positioning mechanism 4 and the base plate 1 can be made by bolts or pins. Alternatively, the rotating mechanism 3 and the clamping and positioning mechanism 4 can be set directly on the box body, in which case there is no need to set the base plate 1.
[0034] It should be noted that this application can be configured to have multiple sets of mechanisms working simultaneously. That is, multiple sets of rotating mechanisms 3, clamping and positioning mechanisms 4, square box clamping head seat 1 5, square box clamping head seat 2 6 and wire collection box 2 can be set on the box body to work synchronously. This can realize the simultaneous detection of multiple sets of data at different rotation times, thereby improving detection accuracy and efficiency.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 The waste collection box 2 has a square body with an inner wall side length of 140±5mm. The six panels of the waste collection box 2 can be transparent for easy viewing during inspection, and one panel serves as a door that can be opened to insert cigarettes. The door can be closed during cigarette inspection. The door can be designed as a sliding opening, eliminating the need to remove the waste collection box 2 when loading cigarettes, facilitating operation. The square box clamping head 5 and square box clamping head 6, when holding the waste collection box 2, can abut against its two diagonally opposite ends to ensure stable rotation (e.g., ...). Figure 1 (As shown).
[0036] Reference Figure 5The rotating mechanism 3 includes an outer frame, and inside the outer frame are a first bearing connection part 31, a permanent magnet motor connection seat 32, a motor fixing plate 33, a first module encapsulation plate 34, and a permanent magnet synchronous motor 35. The bottom of the outer frame is provided with a bottom mounting plate. One end of the motor fixing plate 33 is fixed to the bottom mounting plate, and the other end is equipped with the first bearing connection part 31. A square box head seat 5 is installed inside the first bearing connection part 31. The rod of the square box head seat 5 passes through the first bearing connection part 31 and is connected to the permanent magnet synchronous motor 35. The permanent magnet synchronous motor 35 is fixed to the other end of the motor fixing plate 33 facing away from the wire collection box 2 through the permanent magnet motor connection seat 32. The permanent magnet synchronous motor 35 can drive the square box head seat 5 to rotate.
[0037] Furthermore, a first module encapsulation plate 34 is installed on the side of the motor fixing plate 33 facing the wire collection box 2. The top of the first module encapsulation plate 34 is provided with an arc-shaped groove, which together with the outer frame plays an encapsulation role.
[0038] Reference Figure 4 The clamping and positioning mechanism 4 includes an outer frame, and a bottom mounting plate is provided at the bottom of the outer frame;
[0039] A linear module 45 is installed inside the outer frame. The slider of the linear module 45 is connected to the clamping head fixing seat 43. The clamping head fixing seat 43 is rotatably connected to the square box clamping head seat 6 through the second bearing connecting part 42. The bottom of the linear module 45 is installed on the support connecting seat 416. The support connecting seat 416 is shaped like a side "U". The top of the support connecting seat 416 is used to install the linear module 45, the middle is used to install the motor, and the bottom is used to install the linear guide rail 412. A stepper motor control board 413 for controlling the motor is also installed on the outside of the support connecting seat 416.
[0040] A motor is installed in the middle of the support connecting seat 416. The output end of the motor is connected to the lower synchronous pulley 48. One end of the screw in the linear module 45 is equipped with an upper synchronous pulley 46. The upper synchronous pulley 46 and the lower synchronous pulley 48 are connected by a synchronous belt 47. Therefore, by controlling the motor to drive the lower synchronous pulley 48 to rotate, the lower synchronous pulley 48 drives the upper synchronous pulley 46 to rotate through the synchronous belt 47, thereby driving the slider on the linear module 45 to move, and thus driving the square box card holder 2 6 to move towards the wire collection box 2.
[0041] Limiting seats 410 are installed on the bottom mounting plate on both the front and rear sides of the support connecting seat 416. The limiting seat 410 facing away from the wire collection box 2 is equipped with a compression spring 49 that contacts the outer frame, and the limiting seat 410 facing the wire collection box 2 is equipped with a limiting movable seat 411 that contacts the support connecting seat 416. A linear guide rail 412 is also installed at the bottom of the support connecting seat 416 on the bottom mounting plate. Under normal conditions, the compression spring 49 is in a compressed state. When the linear module 45 is not working, the square box clamp seat 6 can be manually moved backward to prevent affecting the work process.
[0042] A stop switch 44 is also installed on the slider of the linear module 45. Photoelectric switch one 414 and photoelectric switch two 415 are provided on the top of the support connecting seat 416 and on one side of the linear module 45. The stop switch 44 can contact photoelectric switch one 414 or photoelectric switch two 415 when moving linearly. When the linear module 45 drives the square box clamping head seat two 6 to move forward and clamp the wire collection box 2, the stop switch 44 is exactly at the position of photoelectric switch two 415. When the linear module 45 drives the square box clamping head seat two 6 to move backward and disconnect from the wire collection box 2, the stop switch 44 is at the position of photoelectric switch one 414. Therefore, the movement position of the square box clamping head seat two 6 can be accurately judged by photoelectric switch one 414 and photoelectric switch two 415 to ensure that it can accurately clamp the wire collection box.
[0043] Furthermore, a second module encapsulation plate 41 is installed on the side of the support connecting seat 416 facing the wire collection box 2. The top of the second module encapsulation plate 41 is provided with an arc-shaped groove, which together with the outer frame plays an encapsulation role.
[0044] The specific operating principle of this application is as follows:
[0045] Before use, weigh and record the weight of the 20 cigarettes.
[0046] In use, the tobacco collection box 2 is placed between the rotating mechanism 3 and the clamping and positioning mechanism 4. Then, one corner of the tobacco collection box 2 is clamped by the square box holder 5. The operation is controlled by pressing the switch of the linear module 45. The linear module 45 controls the square box holder 6 to move, so that it clamps the other corner of the tobacco collection box 2, thereby fixing the tobacco collection box 2 between the rotating mechanism 3 and the clamping and positioning mechanism 4. Then, the cigarettes are put into the box from the door of the tobacco collection box 2 and the door is closed. Then, the operation is controlled by the switch of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 35. The permanent magnet synchronous motor 35 drives the square box holder 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the tobacco collection box 2 and the square box holder 6 to rotate synchronously. The tobacco is placed in the tobacco collection box 2 and rotated for 120 seconds. During the rotation, the situation of tobacco falling out when the cigarettes in the tobacco collection box 2 rotate and shake is simulated.
[0047] After the process is completed, 20 cigarettes are removed from the tobacco collection box 2, and then the 20 cigarettes are weighed and recorded again. The weight of the cigarettes before and after the process is compared to detect the amount of tobacco falling off.
[0048] The above 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 of the technical features.
