Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary devices for cigarette filter rod production, specifically a quantitative storage device for cigarette filter rods. Background Technology
[0002] Before cigarette production, to ensure product quality and improve production efficiency, it is often necessary to test and inspect the materials used in the cigarette industry. Common materials include cigarette paper, tipping paper, and cigarette filter rods. Generally, cigarette filter rods are produced by a forming machine. After sampling, their various indicators are tested and inspected, and only those that pass the tests are put into use. There are strict quantity requirements for cigarette filter rod sampling, generally 300 rods per specification. Sampling too many will result in material waste, while sampling too few will reduce the number of test samples, further affecting the accuracy of the testing. At the same time, environmental factors such as temperature and humidity can affect the physical properties of cigarette filter rod samples. Therefore, during the sampling process, the cigarette filter rod samples to be tested should be kept at a certain temperature and humidity.
[0003] The commonly used method for sampling cigarette filters is manual sampling. Operators manually count 300 cigarette filter samples from the cigarette filter storage tray and place them in a sampling container. The samples are then tested in the testing laboratory. However, this manual counting method involves a high workload for operators and low work efficiency. In addition, due to the lack of a professional sampling container, the cigarette filter samples are easily affected by the ambient temperature and humidity during the transfer process, which can cause changes in their physical properties. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to solve the problem of low work efficiency in sampling cigarette filter rods using the currently used cigarette filter rod sampling method, this utility model provides a new quantitative sampling and storage device for cigarette filter rods.
[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:
[0006] A cigarette filter rod quantitative storage device includes n storage trays arranged vertically. Each storage tray has a rectangular groove in the center of its upper surface for precisely placing m cigarette filter rod samples (in specific implementations, the length of the rectangular groove is m times the diameter of the cigarette filter rod sample, the width of the rectangular groove is slightly larger than the length of the cigarette filter rod sample to facilitate the placement and removal of the cigarette filter rod samples, and the depth of the rectangular groove is slightly larger than the diameter of one cigarette filter rod sample), where m = 300 / n. Each storage tray has pull-out grooves on both the left and right sides of its upper surface, and pull-out sliders on both the left and right sides of its lower surface that match the corresponding pull-out grooves. A cover plate is also provided above the top storage tray. The lower surface of the cover plate has top pull-out sliders on both the left and right sides that match the pull-out grooves on the top storage tray. Each storage tray and cover plate has a matching fixing hole at its front end, and multiple fixing holes are fitted with fixing plates.
[0007] Principle Explanation: During use, cigarette filter samples are neatly placed into the rectangular grooves within the retrieval trays. When all n retrieval trays are filled with cigarette filter samples, it indicates that 300 cigarette filter samples have been collected. Then, the n retrieval trays and the cover plate are stacked vertically, and the corresponding pull-out slots, retrieval pull-out sliders, and top pull-out sliders are aligned. Finally, the fixing plates are sequentially inserted into the fixing holes on the n retrieval trays and the cover plate to achieve front-to-back positioning of the n retrieval trays and the cover plate, thus completing the quantitative retrieval and storage of cigarette filter samples. The retrieval trays are designed for quantitative storage, eliminating the need for operators to count the cigarette filter samples and improving work efficiency.
[0008] Furthermore, when the sliding block of the upper retrieval plate matches the pull groove on the lower retrieval plate, the four peripheries of the lower surface of the upper retrieval plate abut against the four peripheries of the upper surface of the lower retrieval plate, so that the cigarette filter sample is exposed to the air as little as possible, thereby reducing the influence of temperature and humidity on the cigarette filter sample during the transfer process.
[0009] Furthermore, each rectangular groove is marked with the upper and lower limits of the standard length of the cigarette filter sample, which facilitates operators to perform a preliminary rough inspection of the length of the cigarette filter sample during sampling, so as to detect problems in a timely manner.
[0010] Furthermore, an electronic scale is located below the storage tray at the bottom layer, which facilitates a preliminary rough check of the weight of the cigarette filter rod sample.
[0011] Furthermore, the retrieval and storage slider at the bottom layer is fixed to the electronic scale, making the device structure integrated and easy to move.
[0012] Furthermore, there are five retrieval trays, each with a rectangular groove that can hold exactly 60 cigarette filter rod samples. This ensures the quantity is specific, standardized, and rationalized, and the size facilitates transfer and handling.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: using the device described in this invention to sample cigarette filter rods eliminates the need for operators to count the cigarette filter rod samples, thus improving work efficiency; at the same time, the physical properties of the cigarette filter rod samples are less affected by ambient temperature and humidity during the transfer process; in addition, preliminary rough inspection of the cigarette filter rod samples can be performed, and the device has a simple structure and low cost.

[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a cigarette filter rod quantitative storage device includes n storage trays 1 arranged vertically. Each storage tray 1 has a rectangular groove 2 in the center of its upper surface for holding exactly m cigarette filter rod samples (in this specific embodiment, the length of the rectangular groove 2 is m times the diameter of the cigarette filter rod sample, the width of the rectangular groove 2 is slightly larger than the length of the cigarette filter rod sample to facilitate the placement and removal of the cigarette filter rod samples, and the depth of the rectangular groove 2 is slightly larger than the diameter of one cigarette filter rod sample), m = 300 / n. Each retrieval and storage plate 1 has a pull-out groove 3 on both the left and right sides of its upper surface, and a retrieval and storage pull-out slider 4 adapted to the corresponding pull-out groove 3 on both the left and right sides of its lower surface. A cover plate 5 is also provided above the top retrieval and storage plate 1. A top pull-out slider 6 adapted to the pull-out groove 3 on the top retrieval and storage plate 1 is provided on both the left and right sides of the lower surface of the cover plate 5. Each retrieval and storage plate 1 and the front end of the cover plate 5 are provided with a matching fixing hole 7, and a fixing plate 8 is adapted to multiple fixing holes 7.
[0028] Principle Explanation: During use, cigarette filter rod samples are neatly placed in the rectangular grooves 2 within the retrieval tray 1. When the rectangular grooves 2 on n retrieval trays 1 are filled with cigarette filter rod samples, it indicates that the number of cigarette filter rod samples has reached 300. Then, the n retrieval trays 1 and the cover plate 5 are stacked vertically, and the corresponding pull-out grooves 3, retrieval pull-out sliders 4, and top pull-out sliders 6 are aligned. Finally, the fixing plates 8 are sequentially inserted into the fixing holes 7 on the n retrieval trays 1 and the cover plate 5 to achieve front-to-back positioning of the n retrieval trays 1 and the cover plate 5, thus completing the quantitative retrieval and storage of cigarette filter rod samples. The retrieval tray 1 is designed as a quantitative retrieval tray, eliminating the need for operators to count the cigarette filter rod samples and improving work efficiency.
[0029] In practice, when the sliding block 4 of the upper storage plate 1 is matched with the pull groove 3 on the lower storage plate 1, the four peripheries of the lower surface of the upper storage plate 1 abut against the four peripheries of the upper surface of the lower storage plate 1, so that the cigarette filter rod sample is exposed to the air as little as possible, thereby reducing the influence of temperature and humidity on the cigarette filter rod sample during the transfer process.
[0030] In practice, each rectangular groove 2 is marked with the upper and lower limits of the standard length of the cigarette filter rod sample, which makes it convenient for operators to conduct a preliminary rough inspection of the length of the cigarette filter rod sample during sampling, so as to detect problems in time.
[0031] In practice, an electronic scale 9 is also installed below the storage tray 1 at the bottom layer to facilitate a preliminary rough inspection of the weight of the cigarette filter rod sample.
[0032] In practice, the sliding block 4 of the storage tray 1 at the bottom layer is fixed to the electronic scale 9, making the device structure integrated and easy to move.
[0033] In this specific embodiment, there are 5 retrieval trays 1, and each retrieval tray 1 has a rectangular groove 2 that can hold exactly 60 cigarette filter rod samples. The quantity is specific, standardized, and reasonable, and the size is convenient for transfer and handling. Each retrieval tray 1 is rectangular in shape, and the structure is specific and standardized.
[0034] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement it. Although detailed descriptions have been provided 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; and these 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, and all should be covered by the protection scope of the claims.
