Introduction:

This is a cigarette testing device that detect improperly filled or missing filter rod in groups of cigarettes in a cigarette packing machine. 

In the production of cigarettes, defective cigarettes may occur because of malfunctions at various stages of the manufacturing process. Faults such as loosely packed cigarettes results in an unattractive product and a product that will have non-uniform smoking characteristics. An additional problem is that loosely filled cigarettes cannot be properly handled by cigarette packaging machinery.

A cigarette testing device for cigarette packaging machines located at a point in the manufacturing process just before the cigarettes are placed into cigarette packages, for simultaneously testing the ends of cigarettes disposed in a group.

Working Process:

The device for detecting and rejecting defective cigarettes before entrance thereof into quantitative output channels.

The output ports of cigarette splitting grooves are connected with cigarette detecting channels respectively, the cigarette detecting channels cause cigarettes to be arranged in vertical cigarette flows, which are mutually parallel, the number of the vertical cigarette flows is equal to the number of cigarette discharging channels of the corresponding quantitative cigarette output channels, the flow channel of each vertical cigarette flow is provided with a cigarette quality detection device and a pneumatic rejecting mechanism, the cigarettes to be detected are detected and rejected at appropriate pause time, and the cigarettes which pass the detection directly enter the corresponding cigarette discharging channels of the corresponding quantitative cigarette output channels through transversal one-by-one cigarette pushing mechanisms. The invention can reject unqualified cigarettes before these cigarettes enter into the quantitative cigarette output channels, thereby thoroughly avoiding huge waste caused by rejecting the cigarettes in batches.
