[0025] 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.

[0026] 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.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a cigarette sieving device after testing a cigarette comprehensive testing platform, including: a mounting plate 1, a purging assembly 2, a fixing assembly 3, a collecting assembly 4, and a driving assembly 5. The top of the mounting plate 1 is used to fix the comprehensive testing platform 6.

[0028] The fixing component 3 includes a fixing base 31 and a conveying hopper 32. A strip-shaped placement groove 33 is provided on the fixing base 31 along its length direction. The shape of the placement groove 33 is adapted to the shape of the cigarette and is used to place the cigarette to be tested. The first end of the fixing base 31 is connected to the mounting plate 1, and the second end of the fixing base 31 is connected to the feed port of the conveying hopper 32. The fixing base 31 is located below the comprehensive testing platform 6.

[0029] Specifically, the curvature of the placement groove 33 is less than half the circumference of the cigarette but greater than one-third the circumference of the cigarette. This design allows the cigarette to move quickly to the end of the conveying hopper 32 under the action of the blowing assembly 2.

[0030] One side of the conveyor hopper 32 is at the same height as the fixed base 31, while the other side is higher than the fixed base 31 to prevent the cigarettes from being blown away. The conveyor hopper 32 is an inclined vertical channel with smooth inner walls. The length of the conveyor hopper 32 is slightly larger than the diameter of the cigarette (about 1.05-1.2 times) to ensure that a single row of cigarettes passes through in an orderly manner, changing the direction of movement of the cigarettes from horizontal blowing out to vertical falling.

[0031] The purging assembly 2 is fixed on the mounting plate 1, and its air outlet is directly opposite the placement slot 33 on the fixed base 31, which is used to blow the cigarette into the conveying hopper 32 after the test is completed.

[0032] The collection assembly 4 includes a cigarette collection box 41 and a partition plate 42. The cigarette collection box 41 is located below the conveying hopper 32, with its top open and its size larger than the discharge port of the conveying hopper 32. The partition plate 42 is set inside the cigarette collection box 41 and divides the inside of the cigarette collection box 41 into a qualified cigarette collection area 43 and an unqualified cigarette collection area 4443. The bottom of the unqualified cigarette collection area 4443 has a plurality of parallel arc-shaped grooves 45 along its length. The shape of each groove 45 matches the outer diameter of the cigarette and is used to sequentially receive and position a single unqualified cigarette. Specifically, the grooves 45 are semi-circular structures and there are 10 of them.

[0033] The drive assembly 5 is connected to the cigarette collection box 41 and is used to drive the cigarette collection box 41 to move.

[0034] This utility model connects the first end of the fixed base 31 to the mounting plate 1, and the second end of the fixed base 31 to the conveying hopper 32. The fixed base 31 is located below the comprehensive testing platform 6. The purging assembly 2 is set on the mounting plate 1 and corresponds to the placement slot 33. The cigarette collection box 41 is located below the conveying hopper 32. The partition plate 42 is set inside the cigarette collection box 41 and divides the inside of the cigarette collection box 41 into a qualified cigarette collection area 43 and an unqualified cigarette collection area 4443. The drive assembly 5 is connected to the cigarette collection box 41. In use, after the comprehensive testing platform 6 completes the testing of cigarettes, the blowing assembly 2 is activated, causing the blowing assembly 2 to spray compressed air to blow the cigarettes into the conveying hopper 32, and then the cigarettes fall into the cigarette collection box 41. At the same time, when the cigarette is qualified, the drive assembly 5 drives the cigarette collection box 41 to move, so that the bottom of the conveying hopper 32 corresponds to the qualified cigarette collection area 43. When the cigarette is unqualified, the drive assembly 5 drives the cigarette collection box 41 to move, so that the bottom of the conveying hopper 32 corresponds to the unqualified cigarette collection area 4443. This achieves accurate classification, falling and collection of cigarettes, and also allows for re-inspection of unqualified cigarettes, enabling accurate traceability and problem diagnosis of unqualified cigarettes, as well as guidance for production adjustments based on defect samples.

[0035] In one embodiment of the cigarette sieving device after testing on the cigarette comprehensive testing platform of this utility model, the fixed seat 31 is inclined, and the thickness of the fixed seat 31 gradually decreases from the first end of the fixed seat 31 to the second end of the fixed seat 31. This arrangement further facilitates the movement and collection of cigarettes.

[0036] In one embodiment of the cigarette sieving device of the cigarette comprehensive testing platform of this utility model, the fixing component 3 further includes a limiting plate 34, which is connected to both sides of the fixing base 31 and both sides of the conveying hopper 32, and the width of the limiting plate 34 is greater than the thickness of the conveying hopper 32.

[0037] This utility model connects the limiting plate 34 to both sides of the fixed base 31 and both sides of the conveying hopper 32, and makes the width of the limiting plate 34 greater than the thickness of the conveying hopper 32. Thus, the limiting plate 34 provides a limiting effect on the movement of the cigarette, preventing the cigarette from slipping off the fixed base 31.

[0038] In one embodiment of the cigarette sieving device after testing on the cigarette comprehensive testing platform of this utility model, the blowing assembly 2 includes a fixed block 21, an air guide pipe and an air blowing nozzle 22. The fixed block 21 is provided with multiple connection holes, and the air guide pipe is respectively disposed in the multiple connection holes. The first end of the air guide pipe is connected to the air blowing nozzle 22, and the second end of the air guide pipe is connected to an external air source. The air blowing nozzle 22 is disposed facing the groove 45.

[0039] This invention improves efficiency by setting air guide pipes in multiple connecting holes, with the first end of the air guide pipe connected to the air blowing nozzle 22 and the second end connected to an external air source. The air blowing nozzle 22 is positioned facing the groove 45, thereby allowing compressed air to be ejected through the multiple air blowing nozzles 22 to move the cigarette towards the conveying hopper 32.

[0040] In one embodiment of the cigarette sieving device after testing on the cigarette comprehensive testing platform of this utility model, the driving component 5 includes a driving cylinder 51, a connecting plate 52, a slide rod 53, and a U-shaped clamp 54. The connecting plate 52 is located on both sides of the cigarette collection box 41, the slide rod 53 is set on the connecting plate 52, and the U-shaped clamp 54 is set at the four corners of the bottom of the cigarette collection box 41, and the U-shaped clamp 54 is engaged with the slide rod 53. The driving cylinder 51 is connected to the cigarette collection box 41 and is used to drive it to move along the slide rod 53.

[0041] Specifically, after the comprehensive test bench 6 completes the cigarette testing, the drive cylinder 51 is activated. The drive cylinder 51 drives the cigarette collection box 41 to move, which in turn causes the U-shaped clamp 54 to slide on the slide rod 53. This allows the bottom of the conveying hopper 32 to move above the qualified cigarette collection area 43 or the unqualified cigarette collection area 4443 to complete the collection of cigarettes and also effectively improves stability.

[0042] Furthermore, the drive assembly 5 also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to both the external air source and the drive cylinder 51. After the integrated test bench 6 completes the cigarette testing, the controller activates the external air source. The controller also activates the drive cylinder 51 based on the type of cigarette detected by the integrated test bench 6 (qualified and unqualified cigarettes). When an unqualified cigarette is detected, the drive cylinder 51 moves the cigarette collection box 41, positioning the unqualified cigarette collection area 4443 below the cigarette collection box 41, causing the unqualified cigarette to fall into the groove 45 inside the cigarette collection box 41. When a qualified cigarette is detected, the drive cylinder 51 moves the cigarette collection box 41, positioning the qualified cigarette collection area 43 below the cigarette collection box 41, causing the qualified cigarette to fall into the qualified cigarette collection area 43 inside the cigarette collection box 41.

[0043] In one embodiment of the cigarette sieving device after testing on the cigarette comprehensive testing platform of this utility model, the driving component 5 further includes a fixed sleeve 55 and a moving block. The top of the fixed sleeve 55 has an opening, the moving block is disposed in the opening, and the top of the moving block is connected to the bottom of the cigarette collection box 41. The output shaft of the driving cylinder 51 is connected to the moving block.

[0044] This invention improves the stability of the cigarette screening device after testing on the cigarette comprehensive testing platform during use by placing the moving block inside the opening and connecting the top of the moving block to the bottom of the cigarette collection box 41, and connecting the output shaft of the drive cylinder 51 to the moving block, thereby driving the moving block to move the cigarette collection box 41.

[0045] In one embodiment of the cigarette sieving device after testing on the cigarette comprehensive testing platform of this utility model, the driving component 5 further includes a first fixing buckle 56 and a second fixing buckle 57. The first fixing buckle 56 and the second fixing buckle 57 are respectively disposed at both ends of the fixing sleeve 55, and the height of the first fixing buckle 56 and the height of the second fixing buckle 57 are higher than the bottom height of the cigarette collection box 41.

[0046] This utility model improves the stability of the installation of the fixing sleeve 55 by setting the first fixing buckle 56 and the second fixing buckle 57 at both ends of the fixing sleeve 55, and makes the height of the first fixing buckle 56 and the height of the second fixing buckle 57 higher than the bottom height of the cigarette collection box 41, thereby providing a limiting effect on the movement range of the cigarette collection box 41 through the first fixing buckle 56 and the second fixing buckle 57.

[0047] 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.
