Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tobacco detection technology, specifically relating to a device for extracting sweeteners from the surface of cigarette tipping paper. Background Technology
[0002] To improve the smoking experience of cigarettes and meet consumers' sensory needs, some manufacturers add sweeteners to tipping paper. The amount and type of sweetener added have a significant impact on sensory quality. Therefore, accurately and objectively evaluating the amount of sweetener applied in tipping paper and batch stability is crucial for improving the intrinsic quality stability of cigarette products and highlighting their style characteristics. Currently, the detection of sweetener content in tipping paper mostly uses water as the extraction solvent for direct extraction. However, this method of extracting sweeteners cannot reflect the amount of sweetener that migrates into the saliva of the consumer's mouth during smoking.
[0003] Therefore, how to design a device for extracting sweeteners from the surface of cigarette tipping paper to achieve the extraction of sweeteners from the surface of cigarette tipping paper, so that the test results can better reflect the content of sweeteners that migrate into the oral saliva when the consumer smokes the cigarette, has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for extracting sweeteners from the surface of cigarette tipping paper, so as to solve the above-mentioned technical problems in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A device for extracting sweetener from the surface of cigarette tipping paper includes a support barrel and an inner core. The inner core is disposed in the cavity of the support barrel and has an extraction hole for cooperating with the filter tip of the cigarette. The inner core is made of a liquid-absorbing material, and the support barrel is made of a non-liquid-absorbing material.
[0007] Preferably, the inner core is made of sponge.
[0008] Preferably, the support bucket is made of polytetrafluoroethylene.
[0009] Preferably, the extraction hole is located in the middle of the inner core.
[0010] Preferably, the cavity of the support barrel is a cylindrical cavity, and the inner core is a cylindrical structure.
[0011] Preferably, the inner core and the cavity of the support barrel are transition-fitted or interference-fitted.
[0012] Preferably, the support bucket includes a cylinder and a circular base plate, the circular base plate is disposed inside the lower part of the cylinder and transitionally fitted therewith, and a push rod is provided on the lower side of the circular base plate.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This invention relates to a device for extracting sweeteners from the surface of cigarette tippers. In use, the cigarette filter is inserted into the extraction hole of an inner core that has absorbed artificial saliva or water. The cigarette is repeatedly inserted and withdrawn from the extraction hole to simulate the smoking action in the human mouth. During this process, the inner core collects the sweeteners that migrate from the tipper onto it, thus simulating the collection of sweeteners that migrate from the cigarette into the human mouth. The inner core is then removed for sweetener content testing. Therefore, this invention not only achieves the extraction of sweeteners from the surface of cigarette tippers but also allows the test results to accurately reflect the amount of sweeteners that migrate into the saliva in the mouth when a consumer smokes the cigarette.

[0022] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.
[0023] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.
[0024] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.
[0025] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.
[0026] like Figs. 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a device for extracting sweetener from the surface of cigarette tipping paper, which includes a support barrel 21 and an inner core 11. The inner core 11 is disposed in the cavity 22 of the support barrel 21, and the inner core 11 is provided with an extraction hole 12 for cooperating with the filter 42 of the cigarette 41. The inner core 11 is made of a liquid-absorbing material, and the support barrel 21 is made of a non-liquid-absorbing material.
[0027] The sweetener extraction device for cigarette tipping paper provided in this embodiment of the invention involves inserting the filter 42 of a cigarette 41 into the extraction hole 12 of the inner core 11, which has absorbed artificial saliva or water. The cigarette is repeatedly inserted and removed from the extraction hole to simulate the smoking action of a human mouth. During this process, the inner core collects the sweetener that migrates onto the tipping paper, simulating the collection of sweetener that migrates from the cigarette into the human mouth. The inner core is then removed for sweetener content detection. Therefore, this invention not only achieves the extraction of sweetener from the surface of cigarette tipping paper but also allows the test results to better reflect the amount of sweetener that migrates into the saliva of the consumer's mouth when smoking the cigarette.
[0028] Specifically, the inner core 11 is made of sponge. It is understood that the inner core may also be made of other liquid-absorbing materials.
[0029] Preferably, the support container 21 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene. It is understood that the support container may also be made of other materials that do not absorb liquids.
[0030] Specifically, the extraction hole 12 is located in the middle of the inner core 11.
[0031] Furthermore, the cavity 22 of the support barrel 21 is a cylindrical cavity, and the inner core 11 is a cylindrical structure. In this case, the extraction hole of the inner core can be coaxially arranged with the cavity. It is understood that there is a certain interference fit between the extraction hole of the inner core and the filter of the cigarette, to better simulate the contact between the human mouth and the filter when smoking, so that the test results can better reflect the amount of sweetener migrating into the saliva of the mouth when the consumer smokes the cigarette.
[0032] Specifically, the inner core 11 and the cavity 22 of the support barrel 21 are either transition-fitted or interference-fitted, thereby facilitating the installation and disassembly of the inner core and the support barrel. Preferably, the inner core and the cavity of the support barrel are transition-fitted.
[0033] Furthermore, the support bucket 21 includes a cylinder and a circular base plate 23. The circular base plate 23 is disposed within the lower part of the cylinder and transitionally fitted therewith. A push rod 31 is provided on the lower side of the circular base plate. With this design, by pushing the circular base plate up and down within the cylinder using the push rod, the support bucket can be effectively adapted to inner cores of different heights, allowing the circular base plate to support inner cores 11 of varying heights. It can be understood that the cavity of the support bucket is also the cavity of the cylinder; the diameter of the cylinder cavity is the same from top to bottom. Thus, when the circular base plate is pushed to different positions within the cylinder cavity by the push rod, the circular base plate can remain at that position due to its transitional fit with the cylinder, thereby supporting the inner core.
[0034] Specifically, push rod 31 is vertically connected to the lower side of circular base plate 23. Preferably, a limiting block is provided at the lower end of the cylinder to abut against the lower side of the circular base plate. The limiting block is detachably connected to the lower end of the cylinder, thereby using the limiting effect of the limiting block to effectively prevent the circular base plate from being pulled out of the cylinder by the user due to accidental operation.
[0035] In one specific embodiment, the extraction hole of the inner core can have three corresponding sizes based on the filter size specifications of regular, medium, and slim cigarettes. The diameter of the extraction hole of the inner core in the three sizes can be adapted to the filters of the three types of cigarettes, thereby better meeting the extraction of sweeteners from the surface of the tipping paper on different types of cigarettes. Specifically, the diameters of the extraction holes of the inner core in the three sizes are 8mm, 6.5mm, and 5.5mm, respectively, to better adapt to common cigarettes with a circumference of 24.3mm (regular cigarette), 20.0mm (medium cigarette), and 17.0mm (slim cigarette).
[0036] The sweetener extraction device for cigarette tipping paper of this invention can simulate the behavior of smoking in the human mouth, extracting and collecting the sweetener that migrates from the cigarette to the human mouth. It has a novel structure and has certain value for promotion and application.
[0037] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
