[0028] The support base 1 is provided with a cigarette positioning groove 10. The end of the tobacco section of the cigarette can be inserted into the cigarette positioning groove 10, so that the cigarette can be supported on the support base 1.

[0029] The support sleeve 2 is fitted over the support base 1. The support base 1 and the cigarette positioned on it can be located within the support cavity 22 of the support sleeve 2. The support sleeve 2 is provided with a perforated section 21, which has multiple hollowed-out areas 210. The hollowed-out areas 210 are usually arranged regularly, that is, the hollowed-out areas 210 are equally spaced, and there are non-hollowed-out portions between adjacent hollowed-out areas 210. The perforated section 21 is positioned opposite to the filter section of the cigarette positioned on the support base 1, so that the filter section is perforated through the perforated section 21.

[0030] The punching assembly includes a punching sleeve 3 and a punching pin 4.

[0031] The punching sleeve 3 slides in conjunction with the punching section 21, and the punching sleeve 3 has a first scale line. The punching sleeve 3 may be made of, for example, silicone material, so that it can more stably stop at the preset punching position when sliding on the punching section 21. In practice, the punching sleeve 3 may be a replaceable model, so that a new punching sleeve 3 can be replaced after several uses, thereby maintaining the accuracy and reproducibility of punching. The first scale line on the punching sleeve 3 may be a crisscrossing scale line to provide position indication in different dimensions. The first scale line can provide indication of the punching position and punching spacing.

[0032] The punch 4 has a second scale line and is used to penetrate the punching sleeve 3 and the hollow area 210 to punch a cigarette positioned on the support base 1. The second scale line can provide an indication of the punching depth.

[0033] The manual perforation device for cigarette filters provided by this utility model allows for the following steps: First, the end of the tobacco section of the cigarette is inserted into the cigarette positioning groove 10, fixing the cigarette to the support base 1.
