[0002] At present, the tobacco leaf sorting tasks of leaf threshing and redrying enterprises are completed by graders according to national standards and relying on human sensory judgment. Human senses can distinguish quality factors such as tobacco leaf maturity, leaf structure, identity, oil content, color and length. Whether it is a stall-style or dynamic selection, it requires a lot of manpower and material resources. The selection personnel are often low-educated and have uneven mastery of tobacco leaf sorting ability after skill training. In addition, factors such as normal physiological fatigue and labor shortage in labor-intensive enterprises during the busy farming season directly restrict the efficiency and final quality of tobacco leaf sorting. The ability to re-select tobacco leaves has become a standard for determining the processing capacity of a redrying enterprise. Improving the ability to re-select tobacco leaves has become a top priority for the development of redrying enterprises. With the development of modern tobacco production and the continuous improvement of cigarette product quality, more professional and accurate tobacco leaf automatic grading systems are increasingly needed to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings of manual grading.

[0027] In the present invention, the conveying direction of tobacco leaves is described as from upstream to downstream.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. In the present invention, the first image acquisition module 6-2 is used in the air duct 6-1 to realize the initial classification of tobacco leaves. The air duct 6-1 has a large processing volume of tobacco leaves and a fast movement speed of tobacco leaves. Therefore, the processing speed of tobacco leaf classification is fast and the device has high production capacity. However, the existing classification work is mostly done manually. In the technical attempt to classify tobacco leaves by combining mechanical automation and visual technology, the existing methods mostly use the combination of conveyor belts and visual imaging technology to realize tobacco leaf classification on the belt channel. Therefore, the processing speed of tobacco leaf classification is slow and the production capacity is low, which is far from meeting the actual production needs.

[0030] However, the existing technologies mostly implement tobacco leaf grading on belts, so the processing speed of tobacco leaf grading is slow and the production capacity is low.

[0031] 2. The present invention is also provided with a binning and stem leveling system 7 after the initial classification of tobacco leaves, and the tobacco leaves discharged from the vertical classification channel 6-3 are subjected to secondary detection by the second image acquisition module for further classification. When the secondary detection of the second image acquisition module finds that the tobacco leaves are not of the grade corresponding to this channel, the tobacco leaves on the first belt 7-1 will be blown horizontally to the second belt 7-2 for separate output.

[0032] 3. In particular, in the present invention, a duct bending section is provided in the duct 6-1, and the first image acquisition module 6-2 is provided on the upper and lower sides of the duct bending section to take a front picture of the tobacco leaves for tobacco leaf level positioning.

[0033] Since the tobacco leaves are basically perpendicular to the air duct in the air duct, the shooting adjustment angle of the first image acquisition module 6-2 (camera of the present invention) can be more easily adjusted to shoot the front side (or closer to the front side) of the tobacco leaves. The shooting area is large and the picture can more fully present the characteristics of the tobacco leaves. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0050] The tobacco intelligent grading system provided by the present invention records the tobacco conveying direction as from upstream to downstream, and the tobacco intelligent grading system includes a tobacco loosening system, a tobacco grading system, and a bin-by-bin stem leveling system 7 which are arranged from upstream to downstream and are interconnected.

[0051] The tobacco loosening system includes a manual unwinding channel 1, a vibration channel system 2, a vibration screening device 3 and a vibration air selection device 4 arranged from upstream to downstream. The purpose is to gradually separate the tobacco leaves from large to small and from thick to thin through a combination of manual and mechanical actions to achieve single-piece formation, thereby preparing for tobacco grading.

[0052] The manual unbundling channel 1 manually unbundles the whole package of tobacco leaves into small bundles. The tobacco package 8 is manually placed on the operating table, and the tobacco bundles 9 are manually unbundled for feeding. The drying and crushing during the unbundling process are controlled, and preliminary loosening is performed. Considering the crushing problem, the unbundling is currently performed manually, and the mechanical unbundling method will be explored later. The manual unbundling channel 1 is specifically as follows Figure 1 shown.

[0053] The vibration channel system 2 includes two upper belts 2-1 and two lower belts 2-2 which are arranged obliquely, and one upper belt 2-1 and one lower belt 2-2 form a first clamping section 2-3 located upstream. Another upper belt 2-1 and another lower belt 2-2 form a second clamping section 2-4 located downstream. The first clamping section 2-3 and the second clamping section 2-4 are staggered in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the tobacco leaves, so that the first clamping section 2-3 and the second clamping section 2-4 can clamp different parts of the tobacco leaves. Specifically: the first clamping section 2-3 clamps the end of the tobacco stem and shakes it to separate the tobacco leaves, and then conveys it to the second clamping section 2-4, and the second clamping section 2-4 clamps the end of the tobacco leaves and shakes it to separate the tobacco leaves.

[0054] The vibration channel system 2 also includes a conveyor belt 2-6 which is arranged obliquely and is located below the lower belt 2-2. The conveyor belt 2-6 is used to collect the tobacco leaves shaken off by the first clamping section 2-3 and the second clamping section 2-4 and convey them forward.

[0055] The conveyor belt 2-6 can also destroy the connection state of the adhesive joints of the tobacco leaves when it is transported and shaken upward, so that the connections between the tobacco leaves are separated. The vibration channel system 2 also includes a dust cover 2-5, which is tiltedly arranged on the outside of the first clamping section 2-3 and the second clamping section 2-4 to prevent dust from the first clamping section 2-3 and the second clamping section 2-4.

[0056] At the first clamping section 2-3, the lower belt 2-2 protrudes relative to the upper belt 2-1 and connects to the manual unwinding channel 1 to achieve the feeding of tobacco leaves. The conveyor belt 2-6 outputs the loose tobacco leaves to the vibrating screening device 3. The vibrating channel system 2 is specifically as follows Figure 2 shown.

[0057] The vibration screening device 3 includes a multi-layer screen mechanism 3-1 and a vibration roller 3-2. The screen mechanism 3-1 of the first layer is located below the entrance of the vibration screening device 3, and is used to receive tobacco leaves transported from upstream. The first level of each layer is a screen mechanism 3-1, which initially shakes out the tobacco leaves by vibration, and preliminarily removes the impurities of stones in the tobacco leaves through the sieve. The second level of each layer is a vibration roller 3-2, which is composed of an eccentric roller. The tobacco leaves enter a vibration roller 3-2, and are further loosened under the rotation and tumbling of the eccentric roller, i.e., the irregular roller, and then fall into the loosening mechanism composed of the next layer of screen mechanism 3-1 and vibration roller 3-2 at the lower end. This is repeated until the tobacco leaves are fully shaken out. The vibration roller 3-2 is a closed structure, and there is wind from bottom to top between the vibration rollers 3-2 to help shake out the tobacco leaves. A multi-stage dust absorber is arranged in the uppermost air duct in the vibration screening device 3 to reduce dust. At the same time, the gap between the eccentric rollers settles the impurities and particles between the tobacco leaves. The specific structure of the vibration screening device 3 is as follows: Figure 3 shown.

[0058] Vibration air separation device 4 Figure 4 As shown, the upper part is still the air selection vibration roller 4-1 formed by the eccentric roller group structure, and the lower part is provided with a fan 4-2. After the tobacco leaves enter the lower part of the vibration air selection device 4, under the upward action of the wind force, the tobacco leaves float upward through the wind-driven loosening channel 4-3 vertically arranged at the front end, where the tobacco leaves are further loosened. The loosened tobacco leaves move to the air selection vibration roller 4-1 for further vibration loosening. Through the vibration air selection action twice, the tobacco leaves are fully loosened. In this embodiment, two vibration air selection devices 4 are arranged in series to fully disperse the tobacco leaves.

[0059] The tobacco leaf grading device comprises an air selection chamber singulation system 5 and an air duct grading system 6, and its main functions are to singulate the tobacco leaves by air selection, grade them by visual identification, and output them by channels.

[0060] The air selection chamber singulation system 5 is used to singulate the loosened tobacco leaves into pieces, in preparation for visual identification and grading of tobacco leaves. The air selection chamber singulation system 5 includes a vertical air selection chamber 5-1. The vertical air selection chamber 5-1 is supplied with air by positive pressure from the bottom, and the tobacco leaves are sent to the bottom of the vertical air selection chamber 5-1. The vertical air selection chamber 5-1 uses buoyancy to blow the tobacco leaves from bottom to top. Under the spiral wind field generated by the side air duct, the singulated tobacco leaves are blown out from the top of the vertical air selection chamber 5-1 while further tearing and loosening them. Multiple pieces of bonded tobacco leaves fall back to the bottom for circulating air delivery and loosening. The singulated tobacco leaves sent out by the wind enter the air duct grading system 6 for visual grading. Figure 5 It is a structural schematic diagram of the air selection chamber monolithic system 5. Figure 5 The arrow in the figure indicates the direction of wind movement.

[0061] The air duct grading system 6 includes: an air duct 6-1, a first image acquisition module 6-2 arranged on the upper and lower sides of the air duct 6-1, three vertical grading channels 6-3 arranged below the air duct 6-1 and connected to the air duct 6-1, and an air supply device. After a single tobacco leaf enters the air duct 6-1, the first image acquisition module 6-2 is used to acquire images from the upper and lower sides of the air duct 6-1, and the tobacco leaf grade is located according to the image, and then the positive pressure gas provided by the air supply device is used to blow and discharge the tobacco leaves of the corresponding grade from top to bottom. The three vertical grading channels 6-3 arranged below the air duct 6-1 are the channels for the tobacco leaves of the corresponding grade to fall. In this embodiment, the first image acquisition module 6-2 includes a camera and a light source coordinated with the camera. The air supply device can be a fan, etc. Figure 6 The diagram is a partial structural diagram of the air duct classification system 6, with only a portion of the air duct bending section cut out for illustration. The air duct bending section is a smooth bending section. A rejection channel 6-4 is also connected below the air duct 6-1.

[0062] The bin alignment system 7 includes four first belts 7-1, four second belts 7-2 and a plurality of output belts 7-3, a second image acquisition module arranged on the upper and lower sides of the first belt 7-1, and an air supply device. The four first belts 7-1 are respectively located below the three vertical grading channels 6-3 and the rejection channel 6-4, the first belt 7-1 and the second belt 7-2 are arranged in parallel, and a plurality of output belts 7-3 are respectively arranged vertically at the tail ends of the first belt 7-1 and the second belt 7-2 to achieve an alignment effect. In this embodiment, the second image acquisition module includes a camera and a light source coordinated with the camera. The air supply device can be a fan or the like. The tobacco leaves discharged from the vertical grading channel 6-3 or the rejection channel 6-4 after the initial inspection in the air duct 6-1 fall from the vertical grading channel 6-3 or the rejection channel 6-4 to the first belt 7-1 below. The operation speed of the first belt 7-1 and the falling speed of the tobacco leaves are coordinated to control the posture of the tobacco leaves so that the length direction of the first belt 7-1 is parallel to the operation direction of the first belt 7-1, and the upper and lower double-sided visual secondary inspection is realized during the operation of the first belt 7-1 to increase the accuracy of classification. If the secondary inspection on the first belt 7-1 finds that the tobacco leaves are not tobacco leaves of the corresponding grade of this channel, the air supply device blows the tobacco leaves on the first belt 7-1 horizontally to the second belt 7-2, and the second belt 7-2 blows them to the corresponding output belt 7-3 for output. Figure 7 The transmission part of the second belt 7-2 and the output belt 7-3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the bin-to-bin system 7. Figure 7 Not shown, this is a conventional design.

[0063] Figure 8 This is the layout diagram of the entire tobacco leaf intelligent grading system. Figure 8Another situation of the air duct classification system 6 is illustrated: the air duct 6-1 is straight, and the first image acquisition module 6-2 is obliquely arranged on the upper and lower sides outside the air duct 6-1. This design can also meet the requirements.
