Cigarette Shaker Vibration Mechanism for Tobacco Compaction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cigarette-making tools are inconvenient for use and carrying due to their reliance on traditional cigarette paper tubes, making it difficult to fill and remove cigarettes efficiently.
Innovation Solution
A cigarette shaker with a cylinder body, offset seat, and vibration mechanism that allows for easy insertion and ejection of cigarette pre-rolled paper, along with a cocking key for ejecting finished cigarettes, and a self-locking pressing spring buckle for secure operation, facilitating the compacting and handling of tobacco within the paper.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional cigarette paper tubes are used for making cigarettes, then the cigarette-making process can be performed, but the tool becomes inconvenient to use and carry, and difficult to fill and remove cigarettes efficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into distinct functional modules: a cylinder body for holding pre-rolled papers, an offset seat with cigarette sleeve for paper insertion and ejection, a vibration mechanism for tobacco compacting, and a cocking key for cigarette ejection. Each module performs a specific function, making the overall device more manageable and easier to operate despite its enhanced capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces dynamic elements including the offset seat that can rotate within the cylinder body, the vibration mechanism that generates vibrations for tobacco compacting, and the cocking key that rotates to eject finished cigarettes. These dynamic components enable efficient operation while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
2Manufacturing precision
If a vibration mechanism is added to compact tobacco densely, then the cigarette quality improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A vibration mechanism is integrated into the cigarette sleeve to generate vibrations that densely compact the tobacco filler material. This mechanical vibration approach achieves high manufacturing precision for tobacco density without requiring complex external compaction equipment, as the vibration source is built directly into the cigarette-making component.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables convenient filling and removal of cigarettes, ensuring the tobacco is densely compacted and the cigarettes are easy to handle and carry, preventing false triggering and maintaining the integrity of the pre-rolled paper.
Implementation Method 1
a vibration mechanism is fixed on an outer wall of the cigarette sleeve for compacting cut tobacco or tobacco scraps
