Robotic arm for simulating cigarette smoking process

A method for simulating a cigarette smoking process and a smoking environment of a human body based on a robotic arm, wherein

• the robotic arm comprises a base, a first robotic arm, a second robotic arm, a robotic hand and a cigarette holder, wherein the base, the first robotic arm, the second robotic arm, the robotic hand and the cigarette holder are connected in sequence;
• the cigarette holder comprises a cigarette insertion hole and a cigarette smoking tube, and the cigarette smoking tube is connected to a smoking simulator;
• the robotic arm further comprises at least one air exhausting hole, the at least one air exhausting hole is located around the cigarette holder, and the at least one air exhausting hole is communicated with an air exhauster through an air exhausting pipe;
• and
• the robotic arm further comprises an ash flicking mechanism, the ash flicking mechanism comprises a support and a flicking piece and the ash flicking mechanism is fixed at the cigarette holder or placed at a working table independently;
• the method comprises the following steps:
• (1) lighting a cigarette, setting a smoking mode of the smoking simulator to start a smoking action, and starting the air exhauster;
• meanwhile or then,
• (2) starting the robotic arm and setting control parameters, and swinging the robotic arm to enable the cigarette holder to carry the cigarette from a smoking position to an ash flicking position;
• (3) after the cigarette reaches the ash flicking position, enabling the flicking piece to tap the cigarette to flick ash away, and after the ash is flicked, swinging the robotic arm to enable the cigarette holder to carry the cigarette from the ash flicking position to the smoking position, so as to finish one smoking action;
• and
• (4) repeating steps (2) to (3) to perform a plurality of smoking actions.
