Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of detection technology, specifically to a cigarette length detection device. Background Technology

[0002] In the cigarette production process, tobacco shreds are rolled into strips of tobacco products using cigarette paper. China's national standards for cigarettes mainly include standards for cigarette color, cigarette length, aroma, cigarette sticks, packaging, tar content, chemical composition, and transportation and storage. Among these, cigarette length is one of the main appearance standards for cigarette sticks.

[0003] A review of utility model publication CN213090652 U reveals a rapid cigarette detection tool, comprising a fixture body. The fixture body is a cuboid structure made of transparent material. One end of the fixture body has a mounting groove, with a guide portion above the groove and a circumferential detection portion below it. A circumferential detection hole is formed on the circumferential detection portion. The other end of the fixture body extends from the sidewall towards the mounting groove to form a cigarette length detection chamber. This utility model can quickly detect the circumference and total length of a cigarette, thereby improving detection efficiency and quality, and further ensuring the cigarette pass rate. However, this device has the following drawbacks: the position of the cigarette length detection line 9 is not adjustable, making it unsuitable for detecting the length of cigarettes of different specifications. Furthermore, as a measurement baseline, it is difficult to guarantee the horizontality of the cigarette length detection line 9 and the accuracy of visual alignment observation. When the cigarette length detection line 9 is skewed, or when aligned with the cigarette end for observation, different observation angles lead to certain deviations in the detection. To overcome this technical problem, this utility model proposes a cigarette length detection device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cigarette length detection device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a cigarette length detection device, which is particularly suitable for detecting substandard cigarettes with a length greater than the standard cigarette, including...

[0026] The test box 1 has multiple test chambers 101 for placing cigarettes at intervals on one side, which facilitates the simultaneous length detection of multiple cigarettes. Multiple strip holes 102 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the test box 1. The strip holes 102 are arranged vertically and are located on both sides of each test chamber 101 and are connected to the test chamber 101.

[0027] The baffle 2 is slidably disposed on the front side of the detection box 1. The baffle 2 is horizontally disposed and there is a gap between the baffle 2 and the front side of the detection box 1. Preferably, the gap is 3-5cm. This gap allows for observation of the light irradiation on the baffle 2. An adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position of the baffle 2 is also provided on the front side of the detection box 1 so as to adjust the reference position of the baffle 2 according to different specifications of cigarettes.

[0028] Specifically, the adjustment mechanism includes a first fixing block 202, an adjusting screw 203, and a screw connecting plate 201. There are two first fixing blocks 202, which are arranged one above the other on one side of the detection box 1. The adjusting screw 203 is rotatably connected between the two first fixing blocks 202. Preferably, the bottom end of the adjusting screw 203 is provided with a bearing, which is located in the lower first fixing block 202. The top end of the adjusting screw 203 is provided with a handle for easy rotation. One end of the stop bar 2 is fixedly provided with the screw connecting plate 201, which is located at the center of the side of the stop bar 2. The screw connecting plate 201 is provided with an internal thread and is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 203, so that the position of the stop bar 2 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw 203.

[0029] In addition, the adjustment mechanism also includes a second fixing block 204, a guide rod 205, and a guide connecting plate 208. There are two second fixing blocks 204, which are arranged vertically on the other side of the detection box 1. A guide rod 205 is fixedly arranged between the two first fixing blocks 202. A guide connecting plate 208 is fixedly arranged at the other end of the baffle 2. Similarly, the guide connecting plate 208 is located at the center of the side of the baffle 2. The guide connecting plate 208 is connected to the guide rod 205 to ensure the horizontal stability of the baffle 2.

[0030] In order to know the height of the baffle 2 adjustment, the guide connecting plate 208 is connected to the side of the alignment rod 206. The guide connecting plate 208 and the alignment rod 206 need to be kept on the same plane. A scale line 207 is provided on the detection box 1, and the alignment rod 206 contacts the scale line 207.

[0031] A laser level 302 is provided on the rear side of the detection box 1 so that the laser level line emitted by the laser level 302 can pass through the slot 102.

[0032] To install the laser level 302, a mounting bracket 3 is provided on the rear side of the detection box 1. A mounting hole 301 is provided in the middle of the mounting bracket 3, and the laser level 302 is installed in the mounting hole 301. Preferably, the mounting hole 301 is a vertical strip hole, and the laser level 302 is slidably connected to the mounting hole 301, so that the laser level 302 can be finely adjusted vertically to adjust the position of the light. The emitting end of the laser level 302 passes through the mounting hole 301 and faces the detection box 1 to illuminate the detection box 1. Furthermore, a support plate 305 is provided at the lower part of the mounting hole 301. A fine-tuning screw 306 is threadedly connected to the support plate 305. A rubber support block 304 is provided at the top of the fine-tuning screw 306. The laser level 302 is supported on the rubber support block 304. If the position of the laser level 302 needs to be adjusted, simply rotate the fine-tuning screw 306.

[0033] It should be noted that the types of laser levels 302 on the market are quite diverse. For single-line laser levels 302 where the beam is not adjustable, the position of the laser level 302 needs to be adjusted using components such as a fine-tuning screw 306 to change the beam position. For multi-line laser levels 302 where the beam position is adjustable, the adjustment can be made directly on the machine body, so components such as the fine-tuning screw 306 can be omitted. Preferably, the laser level 302 can be a three-line laser level. This two-line laser level can emit three horizontal beams with adjustable positions. The three horizontal beams can serve as the upper limit of error, the standard baseline, and the lower limit of error.

[0034] The bottom of the detection box 1 is provided with a support base 103, and the bottom of the mounting frame 3 is provided with a support block 303. The bottom surfaces of the support base 103 and the support block 303 are flush, so that the device can be placed horizontally on the working surface.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: multiple groups of cigarettes are randomly sampled and placed into the testing chamber 101 in sequence. The adjusting screw 203 is rotated, and the screw 203 is threadedly engaged with the screw connecting plate 201 to adjust the baffle 2 up and down. During the adjustment process, the index of the scale line 207 of the benchmark rod 206 is observed to adjust the baffle 2 to the reference position that meets the standard cigarette. The laser level 302 is turned on, and the laser level 302 emits a horizontal laser beam. The laser horizontal line passes through the strip hole 102 and shines on the back of the baffle 2. It is observed whether the horizontal beam on the back of the baffle 2 is broken. If it is broken, it means that the length of the cigarette at that point is greater than the standard and is a defective product. Where the horizontal beam is not broken, there may be a qualified product or a defective product that is shorter than the standard. Further testing and screening are required.

[0036] Although the present invention has been described herein with reference to several illustrative embodiments, it should be understood that those skilled in the art can devise many other modifications and implementations that fall within the scope and spirit of the principles disclosed herein. More specifically, various modifications and improvements can be made to the components or layout of the subject matter arrangement within the scope of the disclosure, drawings, and claims. Besides modifications and improvements to the components or layout, other uses will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
