Abstract
An automatic cigarette maker comprises a case that is provided with a container therein. The container has an opening at the top thereof. The tobacco leaves in the container are pushed out of a tobacco supply duct by a feeding module. A rotary disc is connected with one end of a linkage arrangement and is provided with a plurality of tubes that are arranged in a form of circular array. Each tube is provided with a cigarette paper therein. Thereby, when the linkage arrangement moves the rotary disc backward relative to the container, a tube covers the tobacco supply duct for filling tobacco leaves. When the rotary disc is moved forward, a cigarette paper is fully filled with tobacco leaves. When being moved relative to the container forward and backward once, the rotary disc is rotated at a constant angle. Consequently, the tubes can cover the tobacco supply duct one after another and tobacco leaves can be filled into each cigarette paper in sequence.
Description
- The present invention relates to a cigarette maker, and more particularly, to an automatic cigarette maker that is capable of filling tobacco leaves into several cigarette papers continuously.
- A conventional cigarette maker is typically used for the purpose of massive production and includes continuous processing lines. Besides, shredded tobacco leaves are placed into a series of cigarette papers by means of injection method. After that, the cigarette papers filled with tobacco leaves are processed to produce commercial cigarettes. However, it is inconvenient for someone to use above machines to make only one single cigarette each time when he or she has special taste. During the process of making cigarettes under the condition that one single cigarette can be made each time, tobacco leaves should be cut up first and then rolled in cigarette papers or filled into cigarette paper bags. Accordingly, it not only takes a lot of time and work to make cigarettes, but it is also difficult to control the tightness of tobacco leaves in the cigarette paper bags and will result in the problem of uneven taste.
- In order to overcome above shortcomings by providing a cigarette maker that is structurally different from conventional ones, inventor had the motive to study and develop the present invention. After hard research and development, the inventor provides an automatic cigarette maker that is capable of making several cigarettes continuously, meeting the personalized requirements from individuals, and adjusting the tightness of tobacco leaves.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic cigarette maker, where a rotary disc can be moved forward and backward relative to the front side of a container and rotated at a constant angle. Thereby, tobacco leaves can be filled continuously to make several cigarettes continuously.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an automatic cigarette maker provided with a pressure regulator for adjusting the pressure exerted to cigarette papers. Thereby, when tobacco leaves are filled into the bags, the tightness of tobacco leaves in cigarette paper bags can be controlled in order to meet personalized preference.
- In order to achieve above objects, the present invention provides an automatic cigarette maker comprising a case, a feeding module, a rotary disc, and a linkage arrangement. The case is provided therein with a container that has an opening at the top thereof and is used for holding tobacco leaves. The container has an outlet at the front side thereof. A tobacco supply duct is connected to the front side of the container and is in communication with the outlet. The feeding module is provided in the container for pushing tobacco leaves out of the tobacco supply duct. The rotary disc includes a seat and a plurality of tubes, where the tubes are arranged at the peripheries of the seat in a form of circular array and each tube is provided with a cigarette paper therein. The linkage arrangement is positioned within the case. One end of the linkage arrangement is connected with the rotary disc for moving the rotary disc forward or backward relative to the front side of the container and for rotating the rotary disc at a constant angle to move the tubes into the tobacco supply duct one after another. Consequently, the tobacco leaves can be filled into each cigarette paper.
- In practice, the linkage arrangement includes a plurality of pillars, a slide seat, and a linkage element. The pillars are arranged at the peripheries of the rotary disc in a form of circular array. The slide seat is positioned in the case. One side of the slide seat is provided with a tract for receiving and guiding any one pillar, so that the rotary disc is rotated at a constant angle whenever the rotary disc is moved forward and backward once. One end of the linkage element is connected with the rotary disc while another end thereof is connected with the driver for moving the rotary disc forward or backward relative to the outlet of the container.
- In practice, the case is further provided with a pressure regulator therein. The pressure regulator includes a pressure-regulating module and a pressing element. The pressing element is connected with the pressure-regulating module in a way of being relatively movable. Thereby, during the delivering process of tobacco leaves, the pressure produced form the pressing element and exerted to the cigarette papers can be controlled via the pressure-regulating module to control the tightness of the tobacco leaves in cigarette papers.

Thepropulsion shaft 32 of thefeeding module 3 is also driven to rotate and push the tobacco leaves out of thetobacco supply duct 243 into the cigarette paper 9. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , when thedriver 74 drives theworm screw 731 to rotate, thelinkage plate 732, thelinkage axis 733, and therotary disc 6 can be moved forward synchronically via the relative motion of thelinkage plate 732 and theworm screw 731. Consequently, onepillar 71 at the peripheries of thesupport plate 64 moves forward along the tract for moving forward 722 of theslide seat 72 and rotates. When one end of thelimit rod 735 gets in touch with thelimit element 736, thedriver 74 will inversely rotate to move thelinkage plate 732, thelinkage axis 733, and therotary disc 6 backward. At this moment, thepillar 71 moves backward along the tract for moving backward 723 of theslide seat 72 and therotary disc 6 continues to rotate so as to have anothertube 62 cover thetobacco supply duct 243 for receiving tobacco leaves. - The
rotary disc 6 is rotated at a constant angle whenever therotary disc 6 is moved relative to thecontainer 24 forward and backward once. Thereby, thetubes 62 of therotary disc 6 can cover thetobacco supply duct 243 one after another for receiving tobacco leaves therefrom. - Therefore, the present invention has following advantages:
- 1. According to the present invention, several cigarettes can be made continuously so that it is timesaving for making cigarette.
- 2. According to the present invention, the tightness of the tobacco leaves in the cigarette papers can be effectively adjusted so as to meet individual requirements according to their preference.
- 3. According to the present invention, before being filled into cigarette papers, the tobacco leaves can be effectively agitated and shredded in order to keep the cigarette-making process smooth and to ensure the quality of the cigarette-making process.
- As disclosed in the above description and attached drawings, the present invention can provide an automatic cigarette maker that is capable of making several cigarettes continuously, ensuring the quality of the cigarette-making process, and meeting different requirements from individuals according to their preference. It is new and can be put into industrial use.
- Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, many modifications and variations may be made by those skilled in the art from the teachings disclosed hereinabove. Therefore, it should be understood that any modification and variation equivalent to the spirit of the present invention be regarded to fall into the scope defined by the appended claims.
