  • Patent number: 12340501
    Abstract: A method for evaluating the possibility of a cigarette burning cone to fall off is disclosed. The method uses a manipulator simulation device to simulate the smoking of a cigarette, and measures the maximum deviation of the cigarette burning cone, and then uses angle summing and averaging to add the maximum deviations of the cigarette burning cones measured for multiple cigarettes and obtain an average value, and then evaluates the possibility of the cigarette burning cone to fall by the average value of the maximum deviations of the cigarette burning cone. The method is new, and compared with an existing method using state information of the cigarette burning cone “falling” and “not falling,” the method can more accurately, directly and timely reflect the state of the cigarette burning cone.
