A sensor pressure plate, which cooperates with a pressure sensor, is provided on the non-smoke-pressing surface of the lower pressure plate. During the process of pressing the cigarette, the lower pressure plate moves upward due to the counter-push force of the cigarette pack. After the lower pressure plate moves upward a certain distance, the pressure sensor contacts the sensor plate to measure the pressure value.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes: A sliding shaft is fixed on the lower pressure plate, and a sliding hole adapted to the sliding shaft is provided on the upper pressure plate.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes: The elastic element is installed between the upper pressure plate and the lower pressure plate, wherein, Two elastic elements are provided, and the two elastic elements are symmetrically distributed between the upper pressure plate and the lower pressure plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the elastic element includes: spring; A spring positioning rod, comprising a connected rod body and a limiting portion, the limiting portion being located at one end facing the lower pressure plate and contacting the end of the spring; and, A positioning plate is installed on the side of the upper pressure plate away from the lower pressure plate, and the positioning plate is fixed to the rod body of the spring positioning rod.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes: Support base, fixed to the lower pressure plate; and, A cylindrical hole is formed on the side of the support base facing the upper pressure plate, and the cylindrical hole is used to install the spring.

[0010] Furthermore, a limit nut is installed at the end of the sliding shaft away from the lower pressure plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the spring positioning rod is fixed to the positioning plate by a nut.

[0012] Secondly, this utility model provides a smoke suppression device, including the pressure detection device described in the first aspect, and further comprising: A pressing transmission device is connected to the side of the upper pressure plate of the pressure detection device away from the lower pressure plate, and is used to drive the upper pressure plate to move up and down.

[0020] In the above technical solution, the lower pressure plate 1 is used to press the cigarette pack into the carton, and the upper pressure plate 4 can be connected to a related transmission device to press the cigarette pack through linear movement. In the specific pressing process, the lower pressure plate 1 is pushed upward by the cigarette pack and moves to the upper pressure plate 4. After the lower pressure plate 1 moves to the upper pressure plate 4 a certain distance, the pressure sensor 2 contacts the sensor pressure plate 103 to test the pressure value. The pressure value of pressing the cigarette pack detected by the sensor can be compared with the preset value to determine whether the cigarette pack and the carton are deformed due to misalignment. The deformed cigarette pack is marked so that the carton with the deformed cigarette pack can be removed in the next process to prevent the deformed cigarette pack from entering the market. Example 2

[0021] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the pressure detection device provided in this embodiment differs from the pressure detection device provided in Embodiment 1 in that: To achieve the connection between the upper pressure plate 4 and the lower pressure plate 1, allowing the lower pressure plate 1 to move relative to the upper pressure plate 4 within a limited range, a sliding shaft 3 is also included.

To limit the sliding range of the sliding shaft 3, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, a limit nut is installed at the end of the sliding shaft 3 away from the lower pressure plate 1.

[0022] To provide cushioning between the upper pressure plate 4 and the lower pressure plate 1, an elastic element is also included, installed between the upper pressure plate 4 and the lower pressure plate 1, wherein... Two elastic elements are provided, and the two elastic elements are symmetrically distributed between the upper pressure plate 4 and the lower pressure plate 1. The elastic elements can also ensure the state of the lower pressure plate 1 and the upper pressure plate 4 when the smoke is not suppressed, so as to avoid the first sensor 2 and the second sensor 103 from contacting each other and causing false detection.

[0023] To achieve the connection between the elastic element and the lower pressure plate 1 and the upper pressure plate 4, the elastic element includes: Spring 5; A spring positioning rod 6, comprising a connected rod body and a limiting part, wherein the limiting part is located at one end facing the lower pressure plate 1 and contacts the end of the spring 5; and, The positioning plate 7 is installed on the side of the upper pressure plate 4 away from the lower pressure plate 1.

This process is usually completed by automated equipment, including conveyor belts, push plates, and carton-loading mechanisms, to ensure that the cigarette packs are accurately and neatly filled into the designated carton.

[0028] In this embodiment, the equipment used in the above-mentioned process is collectively referred to as the cigarette pack loading flap assembly 11. This does not mean that the cigarette pack loading flap assembly 11 used in this embodiment is a new assembly.
