Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tobacco detection technology, specifically relating to a cigarette balancing device for monitoring weight, temperature and humidity. Background Technology

[0002] Before conducting mainstream smoke and physical property tests, cigarettes need to be conditioned for at least 48 hours in an atmospheric environment with temperature and relative humidity meeting the standard requirements. There are two ways to verify whether a cigarette sample has reached equilibrium: one is that the relative change in the mass of the cigarette sample or specimen does not exceed 0.2% within 3 hours; the other is to place the cigarette sample or specimen in a sealed container of similar volume, where the relative humidity is the same as the specified relative humidity of the conditioned atmosphere.

[0003] Currently, the most common balancing method involves placing various brands of loose cigarettes in separate containers, and then placing the containers together in a balancing room or balancing chamber with a set temperature and humidity for balancing. However, it is not convenient to know whether the cigarette samples have achieved balancing in the balancing room or balancing chamber. Instead, the testers need to weigh the cigarette samples after the balancing time has been reached or transfer the cigarette samples to a sealed container to test the relative humidity in order to determine whether the cigarette samples have achieved balancing. This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] Therefore, how to design a cigarette balancing device that monitors weight, temperature and humidity so that testing personnel can easily know whether the cigarette sample has been balanced has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cigarette balancing device that monitors weight, temperature, and humidity, in order to solve the aforementioned technical problems in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A cigarette balancing device for monitoring weight, temperature and humidity includes a rectangular frame, weight sensors and a display screen. The four side plates and the bottom plate of the rectangular frame are provided with multiple ventilation holes. The weight sensors are provided at the bottom of the four corners of the bottom plate of the rectangular frame. The display screen is disposed on the outer wall of the side plate of the rectangular frame, and the weight sensors are electrically connected to the display screen.

[0008] Preferably, it further includes a transparent sealed box and a temperature and humidity sensor, the temperature and humidity sensor being disposed on the inner wall of the side plate of the rectangular frame, the internal cavity of the transparent sealed box being used to accommodate the rectangular frame, and the temperature and humidity sensor being electrically connected to the display screen.

[0009] Preferably, the temperature and humidity sensor is disposed on the inner wall of the rear panel of the rectangular frame; the display screen is disposed on the outer wall of the front panel of the rectangular frame.

[0010] Preferably, the transparent sealed box is a transparent plastic box.

[0011] Preferably, the display screen is a liquid crystal display screen.

[0012] Preferably, the rectangular frame is made of stainless steel.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This utility model discloses a cigarette balancing device for monitoring weight, temperature, and humidity. During use, a cigarette sample is placed in a rectangular frame for balancing. After the balancing time is reached, the display screen allows for convenient observation of the mass change of the cigarette sample over three hours to determine if it meets the requirements, thus indicating whether the cigarette sample has achieved balancing. As can be seen, this utility model, with its weight sensor and display screen, allows testing personnel to obtain the weight of the cigarette sample more intuitively and effortlessly, enabling them to easily determine whether the cigarette sample has achieved balancing, thereby making the testing of cigarette samples more time-saving and labor-saving.

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 Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a cigarette balancing device for monitoring weight and temperature and humidity, which includes a rectangular frame 11, a weight sensor 31, and a display screen 21. The four side plates and the bottom plate of the rectangular frame 11 are provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 12. The weight sensor 31 is provided at the bottom of the four corners of the bottom plate of the rectangular frame. The display screen 21 is disposed on the outer wall surface of the side plate of the rectangular frame, and the weight sensor is electrically connected to the display screen 21.

[0027] The cigarette balancing device for monitoring weight, temperature, and humidity provided in this embodiment of the invention involves placing a cigarette sample in a rectangular frame 11 for balancing. After 48 hours of balancing, a weight sensor can obtain the weight in real time. The display screen 21 allows for convenient observation of the mass change of the cigarette sample over three hours to determine whether it meets the requirements and whether the cigarette sample has achieved balancing. Therefore, this invention, with its weight sensor and display screen, allows inspectors to obtain the weight of the cigarette sample more intuitively and effortlessly, making it easier to determine whether the cigarette sample has achieved balancing and thus saving time and effort in the inspection of cigarette samples.

[0028] Furthermore, the cigarette balancing device for monitoring weight, temperature, and humidity also includes a transparent sealed box 51 and a temperature and humidity sensor 41. The temperature and humidity sensor 41 is disposed on the inner wall of the side plate of the rectangular frame 11. The internal cavity of the transparent sealed box is used to accommodate the rectangular frame. The temperature and humidity sensor 41 is electrically connected to the display screen 21. Using this scheme, when it is necessary to determine whether the cigarette sample has achieved balance by measuring relative humidity, the rectangular frame containing the cigarette sample is placed in the transparent sealed box 51. The temperature and humidity sensor 41 can detect its temperature and relative humidity in real time, and then send this information to the controller of the display screen. The display screen 21 then displays the temperature and relative humidity, allowing the testing personnel to easily determine whether the cigarette sample has achieved balance. Understandably, since the transparent sealing box is transparent, it will not affect the inspector's view of the data displayed on the screen; the upper end of the transparent sealing box 51 is an opening 52, which facilitates the placement of the rectangular frame inside; the transparent sealing box has a top cover, which can be used to seal the opening of the transparent sealing box to achieve a seal; the weight sensor sends the detected weight information to the controller of the display screen, and then displays it on the screen.

[0029] Preferably, the temperature and humidity sensor 41 is disposed on the inner wall of the rear panel 14 of the rectangular frame; and the display screen 21 is disposed on the outer wall of the front panel 13 of the rectangular frame.

[0030] Specifically, each ventilation hole 12 is evenly distributed on the four side plates and the bottom plate of the rectangular frame 11; the temperature and humidity sensor 41 can be set at the middle position of the inner wall of the rear side plate 14 of the rectangular frame.

[0031] Furthermore, the transparent sealing box 51 is a transparent plastic box, which makes the transparent sealing box lighter in weight.

[0032] Preferably, the display screen 21 is a liquid crystal display screen. It is understood that the power source for the display screen can be a button battery, which can be integrated into the rear side of the display screen.

[0033] Specifically, the rectangular frame 11 is made of stainless steel, which makes the rectangular frame more durable.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, the rectangular frame has a length of 200mm, a width of 100mm, and a height of 100mm, and the thickness of its four side panels and bottom panel is 5mm; the transparent sealing box has a length of 220mm, a width of 120mm, and a height of 120mm.

[0035] This invention provides a cigarette balancing device that can monitor weight, temperature and humidity in real time. It eliminates the need to weigh the cigarette sample or transfer it to a sealed container for relative humidity testing after the balancing time is reached. This overcomes the deficiency of existing balancing rooms in that they cannot monitor whether the cigarette sample has achieved balancing in real time, thus saving time.

[0036] 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.
