AI Technical Summary
Existing cigar maturation chambers suffer from uneven temperature, humidity, and airflow, resulting in uneven moisture content in the cigar smoke, making them prone to regional mold growth and leading to a low product qualification rate.
The cigar aging structure is designed for easy control and includes a controller, a constant temperature and humidity unit, a fresh air duct, a return air duct, and an exhaust vent. The temperature, humidity, and airflow uniformity within the aging chamber are controlled by components such as an anemometer and a wind direction adjuster. The design of the U-shaped fresh air duct and return air duct ensures airflow stability, and exhaust fans and filters prevent mold growth.
This achieves uniformity in temperature, humidity, and airflow during the aging process, ensuring consistent moisture content in cigars within and between batches, reducing mold growth, and improving product qualification rates.

[0033] It should be noted that the exhaust port 3 is arranged on the side of the cigar holder 4 away from the return air pipe 2, so that when the exhaust is performed, the exhaust port 3 and the return air pipe 2 are respectively located at the two ends of the cigar holder 4, and the ratio of the exhaust amount of the exhaust port 3 to the return air amount of the return air pipe 2 is close to 1:1, at this time, the airflow at the two ends of the cigar holder 4 is almost the same, and the stability of the airflow in the entire aging chamber 6 is stronger.

[0040] Moreover, the exhaust fan is arranged in the exhaust port 3, in the application, the number of layers of the cigar holder 4 is at least two, and at least one exhaust port 3 is arranged on the height of each layer of the cigar holder 4, that is, at least one exhaust port 3 is arranged on the height of each layer of the cigar holder 4, and the exhaust port 3 is used for preferentially exhausting the air of the layer of the cigar holder 4.
[0041] Generally, seven cigar holders 4 are arranged in the whole aging chamber 6, each cigar holder 4 is divided into three layers, and two layers of cigar tobacco boxes can be placed in each layer, preferably, six exhaust ports 3 are arranged on the side wall of the aging chamber 6, and one exhaust port 3 is arranged on the left and right sides of the wall of each layer of the cigar holder 4.
[0042] Finally, the air flow control of the whole aging chamber 6, the anemometer 41 is arranged on the cigar holder 4, the constant temperature and humidity machine 5, the exhaust fan, the guide valve and the anemometer 41 are electrically connected with the controller.

[0045] Embodiment two, still as shown in Figs. 1 to 4 Embodiment two, still as shown in
[0046] That is, the fresh air outlet 17 can change the air outlet direction under the adjustment of the air direction regulator, and the air outlet direction can be horizontal air outlet at the highest and can be inclined downward by 45° for air outlet at the lowest. It has been proved through multiple experiments that, during the early stage of cigar aging in the cigar holder 4 and the period of maximum moisture release, the inclined downward air outlet of the fresh air outlet 17 can effectively promote the uniform distribution of fresh air in the aging chamber, reduce the area of the low-speed zone, high-temperature zone and high-humidity zone in the aging chamber, and reduce the influence of the opening process of the exhaust fan on the flow field and temperature and humidity field of the aging chamber, thereby promoting the uniformity of the flow field and temperature and humidity field of the aging chamber.
[0047] Moreover, the inclined adjustment of the fresh air outlet 17 is used to avoid the height of the exhaust outlet and avoid the direct exhaust of fresh air by the exhaust fan during the exhaust process, thereby improving the regulation and control ability of the constant temperature and humidity machine on the flow field and temperature and humidity field and avoiding resource waste.
[0048] It should be noted that the air direction regulator has many, which can be individually controlled and adjusted by the controller, and the orientations of the fresh air outlets 17 on the first fresh air pipe 11 and the second fresh air pipe 12 can also be different, and even the orientations of the multiple fresh air outlets 17 on the first fresh air pipe 11 are different, forming the relative flow of the air directions on both sides of the cigar holder 4 in the aging chamber 6, and further adjusting the air unevenness in the entire aging chamber 6.
