The lower end of the bracket 300 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 400 (model: miniature ball bearing, specification M5). The rotating seat 400 is fixed to the partition plate 200 by 4 M4 bolts. The bracket 300 can rotate vertically from 0-90° around the rotating seat 400 (to meet the needs of multi-angle detection). The upper end of the bracket 300 is fixed with a rotating column 112 (stainless steel material, diameter 6mm, length 8cm). The rotating column 112 passes through the side wall of the mounting ring 500 and is interference-fitted with the mounting ring 500 (fit tolerance H7 / g6).

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a second detection device is installed in the lower half to detect the state of the cigarette after combustion. The second detection device includes a base 600 and an air extraction device 700. The base 600 is fixed below the partition 200. A groove 800 is provided on the left side of the base 600, and a collection box 900 is slidably connected in the groove 800. A handle is provided on the outside of the collection box 900 for easy removal and cleaning of cigarette ash. A fixing tube 110 is fixed in the middle of the base 600. The left end of the fixing tube 110 has a flared structure (for easy fixing of cigarettes), and the right end is connected to the air inlet of the air extraction device 700 through a flexible hose. After the air extraction device 700 is activated, it can simulate the state of cigarette inhalation, maintain combustion, and accelerate the combustion speed.

[0043] Specifically, the collection box 900 is made of high-temperature resistant PP material (temperature resistance ≥120℃ to avoid deformation caused by high temperature of cigarette ash), with a volume of 150mL, which can hold the complete ash of 1-2 cigarettes, eliminating the need for frequent cleaning; the outer side of the collection box 900 is integrally molded with a handle for easy removal, and the gap between the collection box 900 and the groove 800 is ≤0.5mm (to prevent cigarette ash from leaking out).

[0044] Specifically, the fixing tube 110 is made of stainless steel with an inner diameter of 8.5mm, which is suitable for cigarettes with a diameter of 7-8mm to ensure a tight and secure fit. It is 3-6cm long and can be inserted into the cigarette 2-5cm deep to prevent it from falling off during combustion.

[0045] Preferably, in order to guide the cigarette insertion and reduce the difficulty of operation, those skilled in the art can achieve this by setting the left end of the fixing tube 110 to a 45° flared structure (not shown in the figure); the right end of the fixing tube 110 is connected to the air inlet of the suction device 700 through a silicone hose with an inner diameter of 6mm and a length of 10cm.

[0046] An opening 114 is provided on the right side of the outer casing 100, communicating with the lower half, for placing cigarettes into the fixing tube 110 and removing the collection box 900. A baffle 115 is connected to the opening 114 via a hinge. The baffle 115 can be closed to ensure the sealing of the lower half. Preferably, the baffle 115 is made of a transparent material, such as plastic, to facilitate observation of the cigarette's burning status. A sliding groove is provided on the front side of the base 600, and a sliding plate 117 is slidably connected in the sliding groove. A cigarette lighter 116 is fixed on the sliding plate 117. Pushing the sliding plate 117 can move the cigarette lighter 116 to the fixing tube 110 for easy lighting of cigarettes.

[0047] Preferably, by providing dovetail grooves on both sides of the base 600, the sliding plate 117 (the sliding plate 117 is made of ABS material and has a size of 5cm×3cm×1cm) slides in cooperation with the dovetail grooves on both sides of the base 600 (sliding resistance ≤5N, easy to push); a cigarette lighter 116 is fixed on the sliding plate 117, and the cigarette lighter 116 is a heating wire type (model: DC12V-12W, heating wire diameter 0.2mm, heating end length 1cm, suitable for cigarettes with a diameter of 7-8mm).

[0048] A measuring ruler 118 is fixed to the upper surface of the partition 200. The measuring ruler 118 is graduated in millimeters and can directly measure the length, diameter, and other dimensions of a pack of cigarettes or a single cigarette to aid in identification (counterfeit cigarettes often have size deviations). The exhaust port of the exhaust device 700 is connected to a collection chamber 119 via a pipe. Activated carbon or absorbent cotton can be placed in the collection chamber 119 to absorb harmful gases produced during combustion and reduce the health impact on inspectors.

[0049] Specifically, a measuring ruler 118 is also provided on the partition 200. The measuring ruler 118 is made of stainless steel (1mm thick, 1.5cm wide), with a scale accuracy of 0.1mm and a measuring range of 0-15cm (which can cover the length of a pack of cigarettes (10-12cm) and the diameter of a single cigarette (7-8mm)). The measuring ruler 118 is fixed to the partition 200 with double-sided adhesive (high temperature resistant, temperature resistance ≥80℃), and the scale lines are laser engraved (0.05mm deep to ensure no wear during long-term use).

[0050] Specifically, the suction device 700 uses a miniature diaphragm air pump (model DC30E) with a rated voltage of 12V and a suction flow rate of 12mL / s (simulating the human inhalation rate to ensure stable cigarette combustion and prevent excessive open flame). The suction device 700 is electrically connected to the MCU (model: STM32F030C8T6) located inside the housing 100. The MCU has preset control logic: after startup, it starts suction after a 1s delay (waiting for the cigarette to be lit and stable), with a single suction duration of 2s and an interval of 5s (simulating the human inhalation rhythm), and automatically stops suction after the detection is completed.

[0051] Specifically, the collection chamber 119 is made of PP material, with a volume of 500mL, an inner diameter of 8cm, and a height of 10cm, and is located in the corner of the lower half of the outer shell 100. The collection chamber 119 is filled with columnar activated carbon, specifically 8mm columnar activated carbon with an iodine value ≥1000mg / g and a filling amount of 100g. A nylon filter screen with a pore size of 0.1mm is placed on top of the activated carbon to prevent activated carbon particles from entering the pipe. The outlet of the exhaust device 700 is connected to the collection chamber 119 through a PU hose (inner diameter 8mm, length 15cm). After the exhaust gas from combustion is adsorbed by the activated carbon, it is discharged from the vent holes (2mm in diameter, 10 holes) at the bottom of the collection chamber 119.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the top of the outer casing 100 is connected to a cover 111 via a hinge. When the cover 111 is closed, it can protect the first detection device and the second detection device. The overall structure is compact and easy to carry.

[0053] This device also includes a power supply unit, specifically: a 5000mAh 18650 lithium battery with a nominal voltage of 11.1V is built into the bottom of the outer casing 100, which powers each electrical component via a DC-DC power module. The detection device body 120 is 5V / 1A, the air extraction device 700 is 12V / 0.8A, and the cigarette lighter 116 is 12V / 1A. A USB-C charging port is provided on the side of the outer casing 100, which can work continuously for ≥2.5 hours when fully charged (meeting the needs of a single use for on-site inspection). The power module has built-in overcurrent protection with a threshold of 1.5A to prevent short circuit damage to components.

[0054] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, open the box cover 111. If it is necessary to inspect the cigarette pack, adjust the bracket 300 and the mounting ring 500 of the first detection device so that the detection device body 120 is aligned with the cigarette pack. Preliminary identification can be made by observing the printing quality, anti-counterfeiting marks, etc. At the same time, the size of the cigarette pack can be measured using the measuring ruler 118 and compared with the standard size.

[0055] If identification based on combustion status is required, open the baffle 115, light the cigarette to be tested (or light it using the sliding lighter 116), fix the cigarette on the fixing tube 110, start the suction device 700, and observe the combustion status and ash characteristics of the cigarette through the opening 114; the ash produced by combustion falls into the collection box 900, and the exhaust gas after combustion is sent to the collection chamber 119 for purification before being discharged. After the test is completed, remove the collection box 900 to clean the ash, and then close all components.
