Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cigarette detection mechanism, and more particularly to a cigarette length detection device. Background Technology

[0002] A cigarette stick is the main part of a cigarette, generally consisting of rolled tobacco, a filter, and wrapping paper. It is a common form of tobacco consumption. The tobacco in a cigarette stick is processed through drying, curing, and other processes, and produces a specific aroma and smoke when burned. Its quality is affected by factors such as the type of tobacco leaves and the processing technology.

[0003] Cigarette testing includes length testing, which measures the overall length of the cigarette from the filter end to the tobacco end to ensure it meets the size range specified in the production standards; it also covers appearance quality testing, checking for defects such as rough cuts, damaged cigarette paper, and misaligned filter; and it also involves physical performance testing, such as measuring draw resistance, weight, and hardness, to ensure the quality of the cigarette and the user experience.

[0004] After cigarette production, the length of the cigarettes needs to be inspected. However, cigarettes are usually piled up together after production, making it difficult to observe the cigarettes at the bottom during inspection, thus making it difficult to quickly remove defective products from the inside. Utility Model Content

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0021] Embodiments of this utility model: such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, a cigarette length detection device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a detection plate 1, which is a rectangular plate. A surrounding plate 11 is fixedly connected to two wide sides and one long side of the detection plate 1. Support legs 12 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the detection plate 1. A placement plate 13 is rotatably connected to the middle of the detection plate 1, and the placement plate 13 and the detection plate 1 are connected by a torsion spring. A pair of parallel limiting plates 14 are fixedly connected to the surface of the placement plate 13. A discharge plate 15 is rotatably connected to the middle of one of the support legs 12, and the discharge plate 15 and the placement plate 13 are connected by multiple pull ropes 16. A marking line 17 is provided on the placement plate 13.

[0022] During operation, twenty cigarettes are first placed inside the placement plate 13 with the filter tip facing the center panel 11, ensuring the filter tip is flush against the upper limiting plate 14. When the plate is full, the cigarettes and the marking line 17 can be observed to directly determine whether cigarettes need to be added or removed. After the cigarettes are stacked evenly, the physical indicators and appearance quality, such as cigarette length, cutting edge, tipping paper misalignment, and surface finish, can be visually assessed to determine if they meet the product processing standards. After inspecting the cigarettes, the user can place their foot under the discharge plate 15 and then lift one end of the discharge plate 15 to pull the rope 16. When the placement plate 13 is pulled, the cigarettes on the placement plate 13 will move along the placement plate 13 and finally roll through the placement plate 13 and leave the interior of the detection plate 1. This allows the cigarettes to be collected after the detection is completed, and then placed on an electronic scale to weigh the cigarettes. By using the limiting plate 14 to block the cigarettes so that one end is level, the length of a batch of cigarettes can be visually judged, thereby speeding up the detection of cigarettes. At the same time, after the detection is completed, the cigarettes can be quickly removed by lifting the discharge plate 15, thereby increasing the convenience after the detection.

[0023] The bottom of the detection plate 1 is provided with a square groove 2, and multiple damping rods 21 are fixed inside the square groove 2. During operation, after the discharge plate 15 is released, the placement plate 13 will return to its original position due to the force of the torsion spring. At this time, the pull rope 16 will be pulled, which will drive the discharge plate 15 to return to its original position. During the return, the placement plate 13 will come into contact with the damping rods 21. When in contact, it will push the damping rods 21. When pushed, the damping rods 21 will generate resistance, which will slow down the return rotation speed and reduce the impact when it comes into contact with the enclosure plate 11. By adding damping rods 21, the moving speed of the placement plate 13 can be slowed down during the return, thereby increasing the protection of the placement plate 13 and the detection plate 1, and reducing impact damage by slowing down the moving speed.

[0024] The placement plate 13 is made of metal, and a magnet 3 is fixed to the end of the damping rod 21. During operation, the placement plate 13 will come into contact with the magnet 3 before contacting the damping rod 21. Upon contact, it will be attracted by the magnetic force of the magnet 3, thus connecting with the damping rod 21 after contact. When connected, the placement plate 13 will gradually recover as the damping rod 21 is continuously compressed. By adding the magnet 3, the placement plate 13 and the damping rod 21 can be connected by magnetic force during the recovery of the placement plate 13, thereby increasing the stability of the placement plate 13 and the damping rod 21 during recovery, and making it recover stably.

[0025] A base 4 is fixedly attached to the inner wall of the enclosure 11 located on the long side of the detection plate 1. A rotating assembly 41 is provided in the middle of the base 4, and a fan 42 is fixedly attached to the top of the rotating assembly 41. During operation, when the operator is conducting long-term testing, the fan 42 can be turned on to rotate and generate airflow. When the airflow is generated, it will blow air onto the operator, thereby increasing the suitable ambient temperature for the operator during testing. At the same time, the angle of the fan 42 can be adjusted by rotating the assembly 41. The addition of the fan 42 can increase the operator's operating comfort.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the rotating assembly 41 includes a round rod 5, which is rotatably connected to the base 4. A ring 51 is fixedly connected to the middle of the base 4, and the ring 51 is sleeved on the round rod 5. Multiple damping blocks 52 are fixedly connected inside the ring 51, and the damping blocks 52 are in contact with the round rod 5. During operation, the fan 42 can be turned by rotating the fan 42. When turned, the round rod 5 will contact the damping blocks 52. When in contact, the damping blocks 52 will apply resistance to the round rod 5, thereby rubbing and fixing the round rod 5 after the rotation stops. By adding the round rod 5, the fan 42 can be adjusted when it needs to be adjusted. When rotating, the damping blocks 52 can also restrict the round rod 5, making it more stable after the rotation stops.

[0027] A rubber pad 6 is fixed to the bottom of the discharge plate 15, and the rubber pad 6 and the discharge plate 15 are correspondingly arranged. During operation, when the discharge plate 15 is lifted, it will first come into contact with the rubber pad 6. When in contact, the rubber pad 6 will increase the flexible contact with the shoe upper. By adding the rubber pad 6, a flexible barrier can be added when the shoe upper and the rubber pad 6 come into contact, making it more comfortable when the placement plate 13 is pulled, and making it fit the foot better.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Twenty cigarettes are first placed inside the placement plate 13 with the filter tip facing the center panel 11, ensuring the filter tip is flush against the upper limiting plate 14. When the plate is full, the cigarettes and the marking line 17 can be observed to directly determine whether additional or removed cigarettes are needed. After the cigarettes are stacked evenly, the physical properties and appearance quality, such as cigarette length, cutting edge, tipping paper misalignment, and surface finish, can be visually assessed to ensure they meet product processing standards. After inspecting the cigarettes, the foot can be placed under the discharge plate 15, and then the discharge plate 15 can be moved away from the discharge plate. One end of the pull rope 16 is lifted, causing the other end of the discharge plate 15 to descend and pull the pull rope 16 to pull the placement plate 13. When pulled, the cigarettes on the placement plate 13 will move along the placement plate 13 and finally roll through the placement plate 13 and leave the interior of the detection plate 1. This allows the cigarettes after detection to be collected and then placed on an electronic scale for weighing. After the discharge plate 15 is released, the placement plate 13 will return to its original position due to the force of the torsion spring. At this time, the pull rope 16 will be pulled to return the discharge plate 15 to its original position. During the return, the placement plate 13 will connect with the damping rod 21. Upon contact, the damping rod 21 is pushed, generating resistance that slows its rotational speed during recovery, thus reducing impact when it contacts the enclosure 11. Before contacting the damping rod 21, the placement plate 13 contacts the magnet 3, where it is attracted by the magnet's magnetic force, connecting to the damping rod 21. With the connection, the placement plate 13 gradually recovers as the damping rod 21 compresses. During prolonged testing, the fan 42 can be turned on to generate airflow. When the airflow is pushed, it blows air onto the operator, thereby increasing the suitable ambient temperature for the operator during inspection. At the same time, the angle of the fan 42 can be adjusted by rotating component 41. When the fan 42 is rotated, it can be flicked. When flicked, the round rod 5 will contact the damping block 52. When in contact, the damping block 52 will apply resistance to the round rod 5, thereby rubbing and fixing the round rod 5 after the rotation stops. When lifting the discharge plate 15, it will first contact the rubber pad 6. When in contact, the rubber pad 6 will increase the flexible contact with the shoe surface.
