Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the process of cigarette research and development, to explore the impact of different flavoring formulas on cigarette quality, it is often necessary to manually add flavoring to the cigarettes, followed by sensory tasting or mainstream smoke component analysis experiments. However, existing cigarette flavoring technologies have many shortcomings. Traditional cigarette flavoring methods are difficult to achieve uniform flavoring, easily causing problems such as flavoring leakage and tearing of cigarette paper, leading to distorted experimental data and failing to provide a reliable basis for optimizing cigarette formulas.

[0003] When manually adding flavoring using a syringe, the lack of a precise positioning and push control structure makes it difficult for the operator to ensure that the flavoring is injected evenly along the axis of the cigarette. Often, the needle deviates from the axis and penetrates the outer layer of cigarette paper, resulting in flavoring failure. On the other hand, the flavoring method of using flavoring paper to draw lines along the longitudinal direction of the cigarette not only has a limited amount of flavoring but also makes it difficult to achieve precise quantitative control, which cannot meet the diverse experimental needs.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new flavoring devices to improve the accuracy and uniformity of cigarette flavoring. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by developing a manual cigarette flavoring device. This invention solves the problems of uneven flavoring and off-center injection during the cigarette flavoring process, which are difficult to address in existing technologies.

[0006] The technical solution to the technical problem solved by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] This application provides a manual cigarette flavoring device, including a syringe, a cigarette holder, an adhesive base, and symmetrically arranged elastic connecting rods. One end of each elastic connecting rod is connected to the cigarette holder, and the other end is connected to the adhesive base. The elastic connecting rods form an accommodating space adapted to the syringe.

[0008] The syringe is located between the elastic connecting rods, the piston rod end of the syringe is connected to the adhesive base, the needle of the syringe faces the cigarette holder, and the needle and the axis of the cigarette holder are on the same straight line.

[0009] As an improvement to the above solution, the cigarette holder includes two symmetrically arranged semi-cylinders with a gap between them.

[0010] As an improvement to the above solution, there are two elastic connecting rods, and each elastic connecting rod has an arc-shaped fixing ring connected to its inner side. The two arc-shaped fixing rings are arranged opposite each other with a gap, and the syringe is located between the two elastic connecting rods and inside the two arc-shaped fixing rings.

[0011] As an improvement to the above solution, when the piston rod of the syringe is fully pulled out, the needle of the syringe is completely located inside the cigarette holder; when the piston rod of the syringe is fully pushed in, the needle of the syringe is completely disengaged from the cigarette holder.

[0012] As an improvement to the above solution, the inner side of the adhesive base is provided with adhesive for repeated application.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the above solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0014] This utility model provides a manual cigarette flavoring device. The gap design of the cigarette fixing cylinder is compatible with various cigarette diameters, improving the versatility of the device, while firmly fixing the cigarette and preventing it from shifting during flavoring. The cooperation between the cigarette fixing cylinder and the fixing ring prevents the syringe needle from deviating from the axis and penetrating the cigarette paper. The anti-slip rubber coating stabilizes the cigarette, the adhesive base repeatedly fixes the syringe, and the elastic connecting rod ensures that the structure is stable during operation and does not interfere with hand movements. The movement between the needle and the cigarette is controlled by the piston push rod stroke, rather than speed, to avoid differences in flavor distribution caused by uneven pushing speed, and to achieve uniform flavoring along the longitudinal axis of the cigarette.

[0021] See Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a manual cigarette flavoring device, including a syringe 5 and a cigarette holder 4. One end of the cigarette holder 4 is connected to two symmetrically arranged elastic connecting rods 3, and the other ends of the two elastic connecting rods 3 are connected through an adhesive base 1, so that the two elastic connecting rods 3 form an accommodating space adapted to the syringe 5.

[0022] The cigarette holder 4 includes two symmetrically arranged semi-cylinders with a gap between them to accommodate cigarettes of various diameters, increasing the versatility of the cigarette holder 4. The inner side of the semi-cylinders is provided with an anti-slip rubber coating to increase the friction after the cigarette is inserted, so that the cigarette and the cigarette holder 4 remain relatively stationary during the flavoring process.

[0023] Each elastic connecting rod 3 has one end connected to a semi-cylinder and the other end connected to an adhesive base 1, forming a space for the syringe 5. An arc-shaped fixing ring 2 is connected to the inner side of each elastic connecting rod 3, with the two arc-shaped fixing rings 2 positioned opposite each other and with a gap. The syringe 5 is located between the two elastic connecting rods 3 and is held in place by the fixing ring 2. The piston rod 52 of the syringe 5 is adhered and fixed to the inner side of the adhesive base 1. In use, the elastic connecting rod 3 is pulled outwards to insert the syringe 5 into the fixing ring 2. During this process, the elastic connecting rod 3 can bend to both sides and spring back inwards, i.e., it expands the fixing ring 2 through elastic deformation to hold the syringe 5, and then elastically resets and clamps the syringe 5 after being held in place. During the flavoring operation, the elastic connecting rod 3 and the fixing ring 2 maintain rigid support, ensuring that the needle 51 and the axis of the cigarette holder 4 are on the same straight line, preventing the cigarette from shifting during flavoring and preventing the syringe needle 5 from deviating from the axis and penetrating the cigarette paper. When the piston rod 52 of the syringe 5 is fully pulled out, the needle 51 of the syringe 5 is completely inside the cigarette fixing tube 4 (inserted into the cigarette shaft); when the piston rod 52 of the syringe 5 is fully pushed in, the needle 51 of the syringe 5 is completely between the two elastic connecting rods 3, that is, completely detached from the cigarette fixing tube 4.

[0024] The inner side of the adhesive base 1 is provided with reusable adhesive to facilitate the installation and removal of the syringe 5.

[0025] In use, the syringe 5 draws a quantitative amount of flavoring solution and engages with the retaining ring 2. The longitudinal position of the syringe 5 is adjusted so that the bottom of the piston rod 52 of the syringe 5 is adhered and fixed to the adhesive base 1. The needle 51 of the syringe 5 is partially or completely located inside the cigarette holder 4. When the cigarette is inserted into the cigarette holder 4, the needle 51 of the syringe 5 simultaneously inserts longitudinally into the cigarette along its axis. The user uses the conventional method of pushing the syringe 5, i.e., the index and middle fingers hold the protrusion of the syringe 5, and the thumb presses the adhesive base 1. The flavoring solution in the syringe 5 enters the cigarette axis through the needle 51. At the same time, as the piston rod 52 of the syringe 5 moves, the cigarette moves synchronously with the cigarette holder 4. The needle 51 is pulled out at the same rate relative to the cigarette. Thus, during the flavoring process, the speed at which the user pushes the piston rod 52 of the syringe 5 does not affect the longitudinal distribution of the flavoring solution along the cigarette axis. During this process, the elastic connecting rod 3 is positioned between the user's index and middle fingers and does not affect the operation method.

[0026] It should be noted that the elasticity of the elastic connecting rod 3 only applies when the syringe 5 is installed (by opening and inserting the retaining ring). When pushing the syringe 5, the force exerted by the elastic connecting rod 3 comes from the force of the user's thumb pushing the adhesive base 1 and, conversely, the friction between the needle 51 and the tobacco or mouthpiece material. Because the surface of the needle 51 is very smooth, this friction is very small. This is one of the reasons why it is difficult to evenly control the speed at which the cigarette is pulled out when adding flavor directly with the syringe 5, as the change in the magnitude of this force is almost imperceptible. Therefore, in the device of this embodiment, pushing the syringe 5 can be understood as having approximately no resistance. Thus, the elastic connecting rod 3 does not deform during the flavoring process, maintaining structural stability and not affecting operation.

[0027] Although the specific embodiments of the utility model have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the utility model. Based on the technical solution of the utility model, various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort are still within the scope of protection of the utility model.
