Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cigarette detection technology, specifically relating to a detection device for cigars. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to this utility model and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] A cigar is a tobacco product made by rolling dried and fermented cigar tobacco leaves. After the cigar tobacco leaves are rolled to produce cigars, the cigars need to undergo quality analysis and testing. One very important indicator is the tightness of the roll, which is judged by whether the diameter of the rolled cigar meets the standard.

[0004] Traditional cigar testing relies on a compression cylinder, requiring manual insertion and removal of the cigar, resulting in low efficiency. To address this issue, existing technology discloses a cigar circumference and length detection device. This device includes a cigar rotation mechanism with a cigar pushing mechanism. The detection mechanism comprises circumference and length detection elements arranged sequentially along the cigar's travel direction. The cigar pushing mechanism propels the cigar past these elements for detection, improving efficiency. A discharge mechanism is located behind the rotation mechanism, including a discharge pipe with one open end to receive the cigar pushed out by the push rod. The pipe wall has a discharge port for the cigar to fall into, and a material box is located below the pipe where the tested cigars are discharged.

[0005] The above solution has the following drawbacks: after all the tested cigars enter the discharge pipe, the discharge pipe rotates, causing the cigars to enter the feed box from the discharge port. This structure will result in a mixture of compliant and non-compliant cigars. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a detection device for cigar smoke that can solve the technical problem in the prior art of mixing cigar smoke that meets the requirements and those that do not after detection.

[0020] It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] This embodiment discloses a device for detecting cigar smoke, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a base 1, on the top surface of which are connected a pushing component, a diameter detection component, and a collecting component. It should be noted that the pushing component, diameter detection component, and collecting component are arranged and installed on the base 1 in sequence. The diameter detection component is located behind the outlet end of the pushing component, and the collecting component is located behind the outlet end of the diameter detection component. The cigar is fed into the diameter detection component for detection by the pushing component. After detection, the cigar is pushed out of the diameter detection component by the pushing component and enters the collecting component.

[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the collecting assembly includes a rotating disk 6, the center of which is rotatably connected to the top surface of the base 1. Figure 1 As shown, the height of the rotating disk 6 is lower than that of the diameter detection component, and the diameter of the rotating disk 6 is greater than the distance from the center of the rotating disk 6 to the outlet end of the diameter detection component. When the cigarette after detection is pushed out of the diameter detection component by the push component, the cigarette can fall into the rotating disk 6 from the outlet end of the diameter detection component.

[0024] In this embodiment, the rotating disk 6 is a cylindrical structure with an open top to prevent the cigarette from being thrown out after falling into the rotating disk 6.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the rotating disk 6 is divided into a good product area 63 and a defective product area 64. When the cigarette detected by the diameter detection component is a good product (meets the diameter requirement), the good product area 63 of the rotating disk 6 is rotated to the area below the outlet end of the diameter detection component; when the cigarette detected by the diameter detection component is a defective product (does not meet the diameter requirement), the defective product area 64 of the rotating disk 6 is rotated to the area below the outlet end of the diameter detection component.

[0026] It is understood that in this embodiment, a rotating disk 6 is provided below the outlet end of the diameter detection component, and the rotating disk 6 is divided into a good product area 63 and a defective product area 64. This allows the cigarettes detected by the diameter detection component to be placed separately, avoiding the mixing of cigars that meet the requirements and those that do not, and improving the efficiency of the subsequent selection process.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the collecting assembly also includes a rotating motor 61. The top end of the rotating shaft 62 (i.e., the output end) of the rotating motor 61 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the rotating disk 6. The housing of the rotating motor 61 is fixedly connected (e.g., welded or bolted) to the top surface of the base 1. The rotating shaft 62 of the rotating motor 61 is perpendicular to the base 1, making the rotating disk 6 parallel to the base 1. The rotating motor 61 drives the rotating disk 6 to rotate relative to the base 1, thereby causing the rotating disk 6 to be rotatably connected to the top surface of the base 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the diameter detection assembly includes a diameter base 4, which is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1 (e.g., by welding). The top of the diameter base 4 is fixedly connected to (e.g., by welding) a diameter detection tube 5. The diameter detection tube 5 is parallel to the base 1 and has openings at both ends, one end of which is the outlet end, and the outlet end of the diameter detection tube 5 faces the center of the rotating disk 6. The other end is the inlet end.

[0029] Understandably, the cigar enters through the inlet end of the diameter detection tube 5 and exits through the outlet end of the diameter detection tube 5 after being detected.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, several diameter detection mechanisms are installed on the inner wall of the diameter detection tube 5, and these mechanisms are evenly arranged circumferentially along the inner wall of the diameter detection tube 5. Each diameter detection mechanism includes a diameter detection cylinder 51 fixedly connected (e.g., welded or bolted) to the inner wall of the diameter detection tube 5. The diameter detection push rod 52 of the diameter detection cylinder 51 is positioned towards the center of the cross-section of the inner wall of the diameter detection tube 5. A diameter detection arc plate 53 is fixedly connected to the top of the diameter detection push rod 52, and a pressure sensor 54 is bonded to the inner side of the diameter detection arc plate 53. The diameter detection push rod 52 of the diameter detection cylinder 51 can push the diameter detection arc plate 53 towards the center of the cross-section of the inner wall of the diameter detection tube 5. The pressure sensor 54 is used to obtain the pressure exerted by the cigarette on the pressure sensor 54.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, the diameter detection mechanisms are all the same size, that is, the diameter detection arc plates 53 are all the same size, and the center of the multiple diameter detection arc plates 53 is the same point as the center of the inner wall of the diameter detection tube 5. The diameter detection cylinder 51 has a fixed stroke, that is, the diameter detection arc plates 53 have a fixed position after being extended.

[0032] It should be noted that one of the diameter detection mechanisms needs to be installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the diameter detection tube 5. When the cigarette is fed into the diameter detection tube 5, it will be sent to the diameter detection mechanism at the bottom. Then, all the diameter detection cylinders 51 will push out the diameter detection push rod 52 at the same time, which will drive the diameter detection arc plate 53 to move towards the center of the inner wall of the diameter detection tube 5.

[0033] Understandably, if the cigar diameter is small after the diameter detection cylinder 51 completes its fixed stroke, then, except for the diameter detection mechanism at the bottom of the inner wall of the diameter detection tube 5, the other diameter detection mechanisms may have issues such as the pressure sensor 54 not receiving sufficient pressure signals (pressure value not reaching the maximum pressure threshold) or not receiving any pressure signals at all. In this case, the cigar diameter is small, indicating it is a defective product. If the stroke of the diameter detection cylinder 51 is less than the fixed stroke, and all pressure sensors 54 receive sufficient pressure signals (pressure value reaching the maximum pressure threshold), then the cigar diameter is large, also indicating it is a defective product. When the diameter detection cylinder 51 completes its fixed stroke and all pressure sensors 54 receive sufficient pressure signals (pressure value reaching the maximum pressure threshold), then the cigar is a good product.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 is also equipped with an indicator light 7 and an operation panel 8. The indicator light 7 includes a red light and a green light, and the operation panel 8 includes three control switches, namely switch A, switch B and switch C.

[0035] In this embodiment, a stroke end switch is installed inside the diameter detection cylinder 51. When the diameter detection cylinder 51 completes a fixed stroke, the stroke end switch is turned on. The reminder light 7 is electrically connected to the PLC controller. The stroke end switches of all diameter detection cylinders 51 and all pressure sensors 54 are also electrically connected to the PLC controller. The maximum pressure threshold of the pressure sensors 54 is set in the PLC controller. The PLC controller receives signals from all stroke end switches and pressure sensors 54 and controls the red or green light of the reminder light 7 to illuminate.

[0036] Specifically, the PLC controller controls the reminder light 7 to turn green only when it receives signals that all diameter detection cylinders 51 have reached their fixed stroke (i.e., signals from all end-of-stroke switches) and simultaneously receives signals that all pressure sensors 54 have reached sufficient pressure sensitivity (i.e., all have reached the maximum pressure threshold). Otherwise, if any condition is not met, the PLC controller controls the reminder light 7 to turn red.

[0037] In this embodiment, the diameter detection cylinder 51 is electrically connected to switch A on the operation panel 8. Switch A controls the diameter detection cylinder 51 to start extending and close to return to its initial position.

[0038] In this embodiment, the rotary motor 61 can rotate in both directions. The rotary motor 61 is electrically connected to switch B on the operation panel 8, and this control switch can control the rotary motor 61 to perform forward and reverse rotation. In this embodiment, the good product area 63 and the defective product area 64 each occupy half of the rotating disk 6.

[0039] In this embodiment, the length of the diameter detection arc plate 53 is equal to the length of the diameter detection tube 5, and the diameter detection cylinder 51 is located in the middle position of the diameter detection arc plate 53 to ensure that the diameter detection cylinder 51 stably pushes out the diameter detection arc plate 53.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the pushing component includes a pushing base 2, which is fixedly connected (e.g., welded) to a base 1. The top of the pushing base 2 is fixedly connected (e.g., welded) to a tube groove 3. The outlet end of the tube groove 3 is coaxial with the inlet end of the diameter detection tube 5, and the bottom of the outlet end of the tube groove 3 is at the same height as the diameter detection arc plate 53 at the bottom of the diameter detection tube 5, ensuring that the cigarette can smoothly enter the diameter detection tube 5 from the tube groove 3.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the inlet end of the tube groove 3 is fixedly connected to the vertical plate 31, which is perpendicular to the tube groove 3. The side of the vertical plate 31 facing the diameter detection tube 5 is fixedly connected to the push cylinder 32, and the end of the push rod 33 of the push cylinder 32 is fixedly connected to the push seat 34.

[0042] In this embodiment, the push cylinder 32 is electrically connected to the switch C on the operation panel 8, and the switch C controls the action of the push cylinder 32. In this embodiment, the cigar is placed in the tube groove 3, and the push cylinder 32 is controlled to push the cigar into the diameter detection tube 5 and then stop; after detection, the push cylinder 32 is controlled to continue to push the cigar out of the diameter detection tube 5 into the collection assembly, and then the push cylinder 32 is controlled to return to its initial position. In this embodiment, the push cylinder 32 is parallel to the tube groove 3.

[0043] During operation: Place the cigar in the tube groove 3, and start the push cylinder 32 by controlling switch C. When the cigar enters the diameter detection cylinder 51, stop the push cylinder 32. Start the diameter detection cylinder 51 by controlling switch A. When the reminder light is on, control the diameter detection cylinder 51 to return to its initial position by controlling switch A. Then, control the good product area or defective product area to rotate to below the outlet end of the straight detection tube by controlling switch B. Finally, control the push cylinder 32 to return to its initial position by controlling switch C.

[0044] Although the specific embodiments of the present utility model have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort based on the technical solution of the present utility model are still within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
