Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of leaf-beating air separation technology, specifically to a leaf-beating air separation process with a dual-recirculation mode. Background Technology

[0002] Leaf threshing and air separation is a crucial step in tobacco re-drying. Its purpose is to tear the tobacco leaves using a threshing machine, and then separate the clean leaves from the stems using an air separator. Due to the characteristics of tobacco leaves, the tearing rate of a single-stage threshing machine is approximately 40%-80%, and the air separation efficiency of a single-stage air separator is approximately 20%-60%. To ensure good air separation, maintain a clean leaf structure, and reduce tobacco dust loss, the leaf threshing and air separation process involves a complex layout of multiple stages of threshing machines and air separators connected in a specific sequence.

[0003] The practically applied process modes include a four-stage leaf threshing and eleven-times-air separation and one-stem return mode, a four-stage leaf threshing and fifteen-times-air separation and one-stem return mode, and a five-stage leaf threshing and eighteen-times-air separation and one-stem return mode. Their common feature is that, except for the stem return (stem recirculation), the remaining equipment layout adopts a sequential series process. The shortcomings of the currently used series-type leaf threshing and air separation process are that fewer equipment stages result in greater leaf breakage and higher losses. More equipment stages improve the quality of tobacco leaf structure and reduce losses, but require higher investment, larger footprint, and higher energy consumption.

[0004] Due to the persistent drawbacks of the serial process mode, Chinese patent CN1257671A discloses a cyclic air separation method for stem and blade sorting, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a scheme is disclosed in which the blades and leaf stems are returned to a certain air separator in the upstream stage of the process for recirculation and resorting. However, this method only gives a relatively broad concept and does not provide a dual recirculation process flow that can be used in actual production. Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a dual recirculation air separation process that can improve the structural quality of tobacco leaves and reduce tobacco leaf loss without increasing the number of leaf threshing machines and the number of tobacco leaf air separations. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes ten dual-recirculation process modes with better air separation effects. Simulation calculations are performed based on the recirculation process, and equation fitting is performed using the simulation results to accurately determine the speed of the last leaf-beating machine's roller and the recirculation efficiency of the dual-recirculation method. The calculated speed of the last leaf-beating machine's roller and the recirculation efficiency of the dual-recirculation method are then used for automatic control of leaf-beating air separation. This method has the advantages of high efficiency, high model accuracy, and no interference with the production process. It can effectively leverage the process quality effect of the dual-recirculation process mode, improve the structural quality of the leaf-beating and re-drying blades, and reduce breakage and loss during the leaf-beating air separation process.

[0006] This invention provides a dual-recirculation leaf-trimming air distribution process, which includes flag recirculation and leaf recirculation. It is applied at the end of the leaf-trimming air distribution process, and six devices at the end of the process participate in the cyclic flow of the dual-recirculation mode. The six devices at the end include: the second-to-last leaf trimmer, the fourth-to-last air distributor, the third-to-last air distributor, the first-to-last leaf trimmer, the second-to-last air distributor, and the first-to-last air distributor.

[0007] When the layout order of the six end devices is: second to last leaf trimmer → fourth to last sorter → third to last air distributor → second to last air distributor → last air distributor → last leaf trimmer, the return flow method is:

[0008] Recirculation Method 1: The material after leaf removal by the last leaf remover flows back to the fourth-to-last air separator; the second-to-last air separator separates the clean blades, which then flow back to the third-to-last air separator; or

[0009] Recirculation Method Two: The material after leaf removal by the last leaf remover flows back to the fourth-to-last air distributor; the clean blades separated by the second-to-last air distributor also flow back to the fourth-to-last air distributor; or

[0010] Return method three: The material after the last leaf-breaking machine breaks the leaves flows back to the third-to-last air separator, and the clean leaves are separated by the second-to-last air separator and flow back to the third-to-last air separator;

[0011] When the layout order of the six end devices is: second to last leaf trimmer → fourth to last air separator → third to last air separator → last leaf trimmer → second to last air separator → last air separator, the recirculation method is:

[0012] Recirculation Method 4: Material separated by the last air separator is recirculated to the fourth-to-last air separator; clean blades separated by the second-to-last air separator are recirculated to the third-to-last air separator; or

[0013] Recirculation Method 5: Material separated by the last air separator is recirculated to the fourth-to-last air separator; clean blades separated by the second-to-last air separator are recirculated to the fourth-to-last air separator; or

[0014] Recirculation Method Six: The material after air separation by the last air separator is returned to the second-to-last leaf-breaking machine. The second-to-last air separator separates the pure leaves, which are then returned to the third-to-last air separator; or

[0015] Return method seven: The material after being air-separated by the last air separator is returned to the second-to-last leaf-breaking machine. The second-to-last air separator separates the pure leaves, which are then returned to the fourth-to-last air separator.

[0016] When the layout order of the six end devices is: second to last leaf trimmer → fourth to last air separator → third to last air separator → second to last air separator → last leaf trimmer → last air separator, the recirculation method is:

[0017] Recirculation Method 8: Material separated by the last air separator is recirculated to the fourth-to-last air separator; clean blades separated by the second-to-last air separator are recirculated to the third-to-last air separator; or

[0018] Recirculation Method Nine: Material separated by the last air separator is recirculated to the third-to-last air separator; clean blades separated by the second-to-last air separator are recirculated to the third-to-last air separator; or

[0019] Recirculation Method 10: The material separated by the last air separator is returned to the fourth-to-last air separator, and the pure blades separated by the second-to-last air separator are returned to the fourth-to-last air separator.

[0020] Furthermore, the process also includes a process optimization step, which includes:

[0021] Step S1: Set the initial operating parameters of the equipment. The equipment will run according to these initial operating parameters, with the six end devices running in the process sequence of the dual reflux mode.

[0022] Step S2: Under normal operating conditions, measure the process parameters of the six terminal devices; the process parameters include: air separation efficiency, reflux efficiency, leaf tearing rate, leaf content of incoming material, output of pure tobacco leaves, and leaf structure;

[0023] Step S31: Based on the process parameters of the six end devices in this process, perform data fitting to obtain the calculation formula for the total efficiency of the process air classification;

[0024] Step S32: Based on the correspondence between the rotational speed of the last leaf-beating machine and the effective leaf-tearing rate, use data statistical software to fit and obtain the fitting equation between the rotational speed of the last leaf-beating machine and the effective leaf-tearing rate.

[0029] Step S52: Substitute the measured leaf tearing rate Y1 of the last leaf tearing machine into the fitting equation between the roller speed and the effective leaf tearing rate of the last leaf tearing machine to obtain the optimal value of the roller speed of the last leaf tearing machine.

[0030] Step S6: Reset the optimal values ​​of leaf return efficiency H_leaf, flag return efficiency H_flag, and the optimal values ​​of the last leaf and roller speed to the equipment.

[0031] Further, step S41 includes:

[0035] Further, step S43 includes:

[0036] Adjust the flag return flow rate and leaf return flow rate to ensure that the actual flow rates of the fourth-to-last air separator, the third-to-last air separator, the second-to-last air separator, the first-to-last air separator, and the last leaf beater are all no greater than the rated flow rate and close to the rated flow rate. Then determine the maximum value of the leaf return efficiency Hleaf and the maximum value of the flag return efficiency Hflag.

[0037] Further, step S51 includes:

[0038] Substitute the air separation efficiency W3 of the third-to-last air separator, the air separation efficiency W4 of the fourth-to-last air separator, and the measured leaf tearing rate Y1 of the first-to-last leaf trimmer into the formula for calculating the total efficiency of the process air separation. At the same time, the leaf return efficiency H_leaf and the flag return efficiency H_flag are each substituted into the formula for calculating the total efficiency of the process air separation, starting from 1% and using each 1% increment as a gradient, until the leaf return efficiency H_leaf and the flag return efficiency H_flag are recursively calculated to their maximum values, thereby determining the optimal values ​​of the leaf return efficiency H_leaf and the flag return efficiency H_flag.

[0039] Further, in step S32, the fitting equation between the rotational speed x of the penultimate leaf-tearing machine roller and the effective leaf-tearing rate y is: y = 0.0000001x 6 -0.00002x 5 +0.00064x 4 -0.0115x 3 +0.0989x 2 -0.02537x+0.1825.

[0078] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0079] Leaf tearing rate: refers to the proportion of leaves torn off the tobacco stem after passing through the leaf threshing machine, with a maximum value of 100%.

[0080] Loss rate: refers to the proportion of fragments and tobacco dust with an effective diameter of less than 6mm among the leaves torn from the tobacco stem after passing through the leaf threshing machine. According to GB / T21137-2007 "Determination of tobacco leaf size", it is the proportion of material below 6mm sieve, with a maximum of 100%.

[0081] Effective leaf tearing rate: Leaf tearing rate minus loss rate, according to GB / T21137-2007 "Determination of tobacco leaf size", is the proportion of material with a 6mm sieve or larger, with a maximum value of 100%, and is expressed as y in this application.

[0082] Roller speed: refers to the speed of the leaf-tearing machine's rollers. The higher the roller speed, the higher the leaf-tearing rate, the higher the loss rate from 0, the higher the effective leaf-tearing rate initially, then decreases, and finally drops to 0.

[0083] Flag recirculation: refers to the process of separating and recirculating the blades and stems of the material using an air separator. The recirculation efficiency (flag recirculation efficiency) is denoted as H flag.

[0084] Leaf recirculation: refers to the process of separating and recirculating pure blades from the material using an air separator. The recirculation efficiency (leaf recirculation efficiency) is expressed as H_leaf.

[0085] Example 1

[0086] This embodiment provides an optimization method for a leaf-trimming air distribution process in a dual-recirculation mode. The dual-recirculation mode is designed for the flow layout of six devices at the end of the leaf-trimming air distribution process. The mode includes flag recirculation and leaf recirculation. The six devices at the end of the leaf-trimming air distribution process participate in the cyclic flow of the dual-recirculation mode. The six devices at the end include: the second-to-last leaf trimmer, the fourth-to-last air distributor, the third-to-last air distributor, the first-to-last leaf trimmer, the second-to-last air distributor, and the first-to-last air distributor.

[0087] The method includes:

[0088] Step S1: The six terminal devices are arranged and operate according to the dual-recirculation mode cyclic process. Preliminary operating parameters are set for the equipment, including the airflow of each leaf-beater, leaf recirculation efficiency, flag recirculation efficiency, and leaf-beater roller speed. The equipment operates with these preliminary operating parameters, with the six terminal devices operating in the dual-recirculation mode flow sequence.

[0089] Step S2: Under normal operating conditions, measure the process parameters of the six terminal devices; the process parameters include: air separation efficiency, reflux efficiency, leaf tearing rate, leaf content of incoming material, output of pure tobacco leaves, and leaf structure.

[0090] Step S31: Based on the process parameters of the six end devices in the process, perform data fitting to obtain the calculation formula for the overall efficiency of the process air separation.

[0091] Step S32: Based on the correspondence between the measured rotational speed x of the last leaf-beating machine and the effective leaf-tearing rate y, use statistical software such as Foxtable to fit the data and obtain the fitting equation between the rotational speed x of the last leaf-beating machine and the effective leaf-tearing rate y; y = 0.0000001x 6 -0.00002x 5 +0.00064x 4 -0.0115x 3 +0.0989x 2 -0.02537x+0.1825.

[0092] Step S41: Adjust the air volume of the blade air separator. Under the condition that the blade with stem is ≤1.0%, measure the air separation efficiency W3 of the third to last air separator and the air separation efficiency W4 of the fourth to last air separator.

[0093] Step S42: Adjust the speed of the roller of the penultimate leaf-beating machine. Within the range of loss rate: leaf tearing rate of 1:6 to 1:8, take the average value and measure the leaf tearing rate Y1 of the penultimate leaf-beating machine.

[0094] Step S43: Adjust the flag return flow rate and leaf return flow rate to ensure that the actual flow rates of the fourth-to-last air separator, the third-to-last air separator, the second-to-last air separator, the first-to-last air separator, and the first-to-last leaf beater are all not greater than the rated flow rate and are close to the rated flow rate. Then determine the maximum value of the leaf return efficiency H_leaf and the maximum value of the flag return efficiency H_flag.

[0095] Step S51: Substitute the air separation efficiency W3 of the third-to-last air separator, the air separation efficiency W4 of the fourth-to-last air separator, and the measured leaf tearing rate Y1 of the first-to-last leaf cutter into the formula for calculating the total efficiency of the process air separation. At the same time, the leaf return efficiency H_leaf and the flag return efficiency H_flag are each substituted into the formula for calculating the total efficiency of the process air separation, starting from 1% and using each 1% increment as a gradient, until the leaf return efficiency H_leaf and the flag return efficiency H_flag are recursively calculated to their maximum values, thereby determining the optimal values ​​of the leaf return efficiency H_leaf and the flag return efficiency H_flag.

[0096] Step S52: Substitute the measured leaf tearing rate Y1 of the last leaf-beating machine into the fitting equation between the rolling speed and leaf tearing rate of the last leaf-beating machine to obtain the optimal rolling speed of the last leaf-beating machine.

[0097] Step S6: Reset the optimal values ​​of leaf return efficiency H_leaf, flag return efficiency H_flag, and the optimal values ​​of the last leaf and roller speed to the equipment.

The recirculation method is as follows: the material after leaf-beating by the first to last leaf-beating machine flows back to the fourth to last air separator, and the clean blades separated by the second to last air separator flow back to the third to last air separator.

[0100] Under this layout and recirculation mode, the total efficiency W of the process air separation is calculated using the following formula:

[0155] like Figure 12 As shown, the layout order of the six devices at the end is: second to last leaf-beating machine → fourth to last air separator → third to last air separator → second to last air separator → last leaf-beating machine → last air separator.

[0156] The reflux method is as follows: the material after being separated by the last air separator is refluxed to the fourth air separator from the bottom, and the pure blades separated by the second-to-last air separator are refluxed to the fourth air separator from the bottom.

[0157] The formula for calculating the overall efficiency W of the process air separation is:

[0160] Assuming the tobacco leaf content entering the process is 100% starting from the second-to-last threshing machine, after adjusting the parameters according to the reflux mode of Examples 2-11, the effect of implementing this invention is compared with the existing ordinary process and the four-threshing-eleven-point reflux process in patent CN1257671A. The results are calculated and compared under the same conditions as the original four-threshing-eleven-point threshing air distribution line at a flow rate of 12000 kg / h:

[0164] According to calculations, under the 10 dual-recirculation process modes mentioned in this invention, the optimization method for leaf threshing and air separation parameters of this invention, without increasing or decreasing equipment, all outperform existing ordinary processes and patent CN1257671A. In actual production, taking a re-drying enterprise processing 1 million dan (1 dan = 50 kg) of raw tobacco annually, with a leaf content of approximately 70%, every 0.1% increase in leaf yield results in an additional 35,000 kg of leaves, which, based on the market price of tobacco leaves, would reduce tobacco leaf losses by 3.5 million yuan. Implementing the process model of this invention using the 10 processes provided by this invention, for every 1 million dan of tobacco leaves processed, 678,000 to 787,000 kg of tobacco leaves will be saved, reducing tobacco leaf costs by approximately 33.91 million to 39.37 million yuan compared to the current situation. This also shows a significant advantage over CN1257671A, not including the value generated by improving leaf structure after the implementation of this invention. The method provided by this invention has significant practical value.
