Embodiment Construction

[0023] Below in conjunction with specific embodiment and accompanying drawing, the present invention will be further described:

[0024] The invention provides a novel cigarette manufacturing method using 3D printing technology, comprising the following steps:

[0025] a. Grinding the tobacco leaves into powder in a pulverizer and passing through a screen to obtain smoke powder, which is added to the powder supply cylinder 1 of the 3D printer;

[0026] b. Operate the relevant software in the computer to design the shape model of the cigarette stick;

[0027] c. The powder spreading roller 2 on the powder supply cylinder 1 moves from left to right, so that the smoke powder in the powder supply cylinder 1 enters the forming cylinder 4, and forms a layer of smoke powder layer on the forming cylinder platform 5;

[0028] d. The print head 3 sprays the adhesive on the smoke powder layer on the forming cylinder platform 5. The shape of the attachment position of the adhesive is the...

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of cigarette production, in particular to a novel cigarette production method applying a 3D (3-dimensional) printing technology. A novel cigarette comprises a cigarette stick and a filter tip stick, wherein the cigarette stick is formed by bonding tobacco powder ground by tobacco leaves through an adhesive. The production method of the novel cigarette provided by the invention comprises the following steps: producing the cigarette by utilizing the 3D printing technology, increasing the tobacco powder layer by layer in hierarchical processing and superstition solidification forming ways to generate a 3D entity cigarette, spraying the adhesive through a 3D printer according to the shape of each cross section designed in software, carrying out progression layer by layer and finally obtaining the cigarette stick which is formed by overlapping all the cross sections, so that the production precision is effectively ensured. Meanwhile, the treatment process of the tobacco leaves is simplified, the application scope of tobacco raw materials is broadened, the utilization rare of the tobacco raw materials is improved, and the wood gas of cigarette smoke is removed. The 3D printer used in the novel cigarette production method is smaller in size and is more economic, the relevant procedure of computer graphic data can be directly utilized to generate the cigarette, and the cost is saved while the production is convenient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarette manufacturing, and in particular relates to a novel cigarette manufacturing method using 3D printing technology. Background technique [0002] The traditional process of making tobacco leaves into cigarettes includes the separation of tobacco stems and tobacco leaves, shredded and cigarette rolling, and the procedures of tipping. Tobacco leaves are first cut into shreds, which are then rolled into rolling papers. Because stems and leaves have different physical properties, the conventional processing method is to separate the stems from the tobacco leaves at the initial stage of tobacco leaf processing, and then process the stems and leaves separately. The procedure for separating the stalk from the leaf is usually complex. The traditional way of making cigarettes has high requirements on raw materials of tobacco leaves, and too broken tobacco powder and ash cannot be used directly. The prior...
