Measured and its temperature is lower than a predetermined set value, for example, 50 degrees from the temperature when it is properly ignited. If it is lower than C, it is determined that ignition of this volume C has failed.
- a predetermined set value for example, 50 degrees from the temperature when it is properly ignited. If it is lower than C, it is
- the control device 6 stores the position of the winding where the ignition failed, and after the ignition work on all the windings C is completed, the robot main body 31 starts the ignition.
- Failed Volume C Return to this position and re-ignite this volume.
- the ignition of the winding C is performed by sucking air through the winding C with the heater 45 of the writer hand 44 close to the tip of the winding C as described above.
- this volume C may not ignite, or may go out after igniting.
- the infrared detector 91 detects infrared rays from the front end of the immediately preceding volume C, which has passed a predetermined time after being ignited, so that failure to ignite this volume C is ensured. Can be detected. Therefore, it is possible to surely prevent the entire smoking test from being restarted due to the ignition failure.
- the smoking machine main body 1 After the ignition of the winding C of each smoking mouth 2 as described above, the smoking machine main body 1 does not perform the predetermined smoking test operation as described above, and the number of puffs and the burning rate of each winding C is determined. Perform measurement and component analysis.
- the robot body 31 moves to the position of the mounting table 35, and the writer hand 44 at the end of the arm 33 is replaced with a cutting hand 43. Wait until the end of volume C combustion. Then, when each of the above-mentioned turns burns to a predetermined combustion end position, infrared rays are detected by the head 22 of the burning position detecting mechanism 20 of the smoking machine body 1, and the predetermined number of the turns C is determined. Combustion up to the position is detected. Then, this signal is sent to the control device 6, which sends a control signal to the robot device 30. Then, the robot body 31 moves to the position of the winding C where the combustion is completed, and the cutting hand 4 In step 3, cut off the end of volume C and extinguish the fire.
- each of the holder tray supply mechanism 66 and the winding tray supply mechanism 65 has five holder trays 6 3. And the winding tray 62 are accommodated, and two hours are required for the smoking test of each holder tray and the holder and the winding on the winding tray. The operator does not need to be within the working radius of the machine, and the smoking test can be performed automatically without interruption throughout the day.
- the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
- the type of the robot device is not necessarily limited to the above-described embodiment, and another type of robot device can be adopted.
- the above-mentioned holder tray supply mechanism need not always be disposed near the end of the rail of the robot device, and the holder tray supply mechanism must be located within the operating range of the robot device. It is only necessary to supply the winding trays one by one.
- the structures of the holder tray supply mechanism and the winding tray supply mechanism are not necessarily limited to the above-described structures.
- these holder trays and winding trays do not always need to be placed vertically in a rack and held. If there is enough space for this automatic smoking machine, Alternatively, a structure in which a plurality of holder trays and trays are held on a horizontal conveyor or a turntable may be used.
- the number of holder trays and winding trays held by the holder tray supply mechanism and the winding tray supply mechanism is not necessarily limited to the above-described embodiment. Further, it is not always necessary to hold the supplied winding tray in the robot main body and move it with the robot main body. Conversely, this volume tray In both cases, the holder tray can also be configured to be held by the robot body.
- the holder and the cigarette winding are automatically supplied, it is possible to continue the automatic operation continuously for a long time, and during this time, the operator can use the robot device. There is no need to enter the operating range of the robot device, and there is no need to stop the operation of the robot device.
