The present invention relates to an additive injection device for a cigarette, and more particularly, to an additive injection device for a cigarette so that the flavor and aroma of the perfume material can be felt while smoking the cigarette evenly.

Generally speaking, cigarettes are classified into two types according to the way they are flavored: American cigarettes and British cigarettes. The characteristics of American cigarettes are yellow tobacco, Burley tobacco, Orient tobacco, other leaflets and abacus. And, the characteristic of British cigarette is to realize a natural tobacco taste only with basic additives such as moisturizer and algae.

Tobacco in Korea belongs to the American type cigarettes, and the tobacco leaf is usually cooked with leaf tobacco by type, leaf type, grade, and year of production in consideration of the physicochemical properties and tobacco taste. It is made to achieve.

Conventionally, no equipment was specifically designed to test the taste and aroma of cigarettes by adding a flavoring agent at the stage of developing a new cigarette. It is difficult to supply the additive evenly inside the cigarette because all of the additives are put into the cigarette by hand after putting the additive in the syringe. Therefore, while smoking a cigarette, the taste and aroma cannot be felt constantly, and since the taste appears differently according to the person adding the additive, there was a difficulty in developing a new cigarette.

In order to improve this problem, a device for automatically inserting an additive by pressing a syringe has been proposed. However, since cigarettes having different diameters and lengths cannot be used, there is a disadvantage in that an additive injection device must be provided for each type of cigarette.

The present invention was developed in view of the conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to add a uniform amount of additives into the cigarette and also add a cigarette additive that can be added in one device even if the length and diameter change In providing an injection device.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a tobacco bracket for moving the cigarettes reciprocated along the left rail block and the upper end of the syringe, except for the needle insertion end of the syringe together, provided to face each other on the table top. It consists of a rod bracket that pushes the piston rod to inject the fragrance substance inside the syringe fixed to the table and moved along the right rail block, and a motor for precisely controlling the ball screw shaft engaged with the block to move each block. .

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a plan view of the additive injection device of the present invention, Figure 2 is a front view of the additive injection device of the present invention. The present invention is provided with a rail (4) 4a and a block (3) (3a) consisting of an LM guide portion on both upper sides of the table (1) supported by the legs (2), the block (3) (3a) is a ball screw It is configured to reciprocate by the shafts 5 and 5a. As is well known, the LM guide part rolls the ball through two sets of rolling surfaces precisely ground on the LM rail and the LM block and circulates the balls by the end plates assembled to the LM blocks. Model RSR-Z has infinitely linear motion with the ball circulating in a compact structure and unlimited stroke. Model RSR-Z is a breakthrough LM guide with low cost, smoothness, low noise and sound quality.

The present invention is applied to the LM guide portion, each ball screw shaft (5) (5a) is driven by a motor (6) 6a. The motor is a compact driver that can drive a 5-phase stepping motor with a 24 VDC power supply. As it is a board type driver, it is suitable for mounting small devices. It has the necessary functions for adjustment and driving, and prevents the influence of external noise by using a photocoupler on the input / output signal. The 5-phase STEPPING MOTOR has high resolution (500 divisions per rotation) and performance of ± 3 minutes of stopping accuracy to realize the position accuracy required by the device.

The present invention is provided with a tobacco bracket (7) connected to the block (3) on the left side and the tobacco (13) is placed on the tobacco bracket (7). And several tobacco 13 is fixed to the tobacco bracket 7 in parallel by the cover 8 fastened through the nut 9.

The right block 3a is provided with a plurality of rows of piston rods 17 interlocked with the blocks 3a through the rod bracket 12, and the plurality of syringes 15 corresponding to the respective piston rods 17 are syringe brackets. It is provided in the state fixed to the table 1 via the 10 and the leg (11). And the syringe 15 is provided with a needle 16 for injecting the fragrance material into the cigarette.

In the injection device of the present invention configured as described above, while the cigarette 13 on the left side and the syringe 15 on the right side are close to each other, the perfume substance inside the syringe is injected into the cigarette.

3 and 4, a plurality of cigarettes are added to the tobacco bracket 7 and the cover 8 is closed, and then the nut 9 is fastened to seal the cigarette 13. In this case, it is natural that the sealing property is improved when the packing is used. The sealing is performed to prevent the fragrance of the fragrance from being released into the atmosphere when the perfume is injected into the cigarette. After the cigarette is installed, the perfume is filled in the syringe 15 on the right side and the motor 6 on the left side is driven.

When the ball screw shaft 5 on the left side is rotated by the driving of the motor 6, the tobacco bracket 7 is advanced through the block 3 engaged with the needle 6, and thus the needle 16 in front of the syringe 15 into the cigarette 13. Is inserted. Since the syringe 15 is in a stopped state, the needle enters the cigarette by the advancement of the cigarette. Then, when the needle 16 approaches the filter 14 of the cigarette 13, the motor 6 is stopped.

Subsequently, when the cigarette 13 is driven backward by the driving of the motor 6 and the motor 6a on the right side is driven and the ball screw shaft 5a is rotated, the piston rod 17 passes through the rod bracket 12 thereof. Slowly advancing toward 13, the fragrance material inside the syringe 15 is injected into the cigarette through the needle 16. As a result, the cigarette 13 is retracted and exits from the needle 16, and the syringe 15 is depressed so that the perfume material is discharged from the needle, so that the perfume material is uniformly injected into the entire cigarette 13. The piston rod 17 is moved in the range of 3㎛ and the flavor material filled in the syringe 15 is injected into the cigarette by the amount of movement of the piston rod 17.

The above process is summarized as follows.

The cigarette is inserted into each groove position of the tobacco bracket (7) and sealed using the packing and the cover (8). After injecting the perfume substance of a predetermined capacity into the syringe (15), the cigarette bracket (7) is reversed and While advancing the piston rod 17 finely, the fragrance material is injected into the cigarette. When inserting the needle 16 in the center of the cigarette should not be the end of the needle to contact the filter 14 and when a 3mm point from the end of the filter should be injected into the cigarette of a predetermined amount of perfume.

By adjusting the backward speed of the tobacco bracket 7 and the injection speed of the fragrance material according to the advance of the piston rod 17, the fragrance material should be injected into the cigarette in a balanced manner, and the diameter of the cigarette, the diameter of the syringe, the length of the cigarette cigarette, If the injection movement speed is adjusted differently according to the length and dose of the syringe needle 16, a variety of cigarettes can be tested by injecting fragrance substances into various kinds of cigarettes.

The following table shows the types, lengths and diameters of cigarettes.

Tobacco type Cigarette length Part length Filter length Cigarette circumference Type 1 84 57 27 24.5 ± 0.2 Type 2 84 60 24 24.5 ± 0.2 Type 3 98 68 30 22.0 ± 0.2 Type 4 100 70 30 17.0 ± 0.2

As described above, according to the present invention, since the fragrance substance may be uniformly injected according to the type of cigarette, various types of cigarettes may be tested with one injection device. In particular, the fragrance material can be injected uniformly, which is effective in measuring the taste and aroma of cigarettes. The LM guide part and the five-phase stepping motor can be used to finely move the piston rod of the syringe, so that the fragrance material can be injected. There is an effect such as.
