TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of tobacco intelligent manufacturing, and particularly relates to a method for estimating the position state of cut tobacco in a cut tobacco dryer. BACKGROUND
[0002] Tobacco processing needs to go through multiple processes, among which the cut tobacco making process needs to unpack tobacco leaves and dry cut tobacco, and has an important influence on the quality of cigarettes. As a key step in cut tobacco making, the residence time and residence position of cut tobacco in the cut tobacco dryer largely determine the role of temperature control and moisture control in the cut tobacco dryer on the cut tobacco, and therefore it is necessary to accurately model the residence time and residence position of cut tobacco in the cut tobacco dryer. This is particularly important for the "material head" and "material level" corresponding to the start and stop of the cut tobacco dryer, and helps to reduce the proportion of low-quality or unqualified cut tobacco and improve production economic benefits.
[0003] In the prior art, the modeling method of cut tobacco residence time in a drum cut tobacco dryer is given in "Establishment and numerical simulation of cut tobacco residence time model in drum cut tobacco dryer", which considers two forms of cut tobacco movement in the drum: adhesion in the drum and free parabolic movement in the drum. However, the above assumption is ideal, and the internal structure of the cut tobacco dryer drum and the slow rotation speed result in multiple forms of cut tobacco movement in the drum, and therefore considering multiple forms of movement can improve the accuracy of the estimation of the residence time and residence position of cut tobacco.
[0004] The purpose of the present application is to approximately model the state of cut tobacco in the cut tobacco dryer by considering multiple forms of cut tobacco movement in the drum, to provide an estimation method for the residence time and residence position of cut tobacco in the cut tobacco dryer, to provide a basis for subsequent moisture and temperature control, and to provide information on cut tobacco quality for offline analysis. SUMMARY

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present application is implemented by the following technical scheme:

[0018] Further, the installation attribute parameters of the cut tobacco machine in step S1 include the installation inclination angle a of the drum, the diameter D of the drum, the length L of the drum, and the width w of the radial baffle.
[0019] Further, a plurality of axial baffles are uniformly arranged in the drum of the cut tobacco machine.
[0020] Further, the length t of the single cycle residence time in step S2 is calculated in the following manner:
[0021] t=t r +t f +t b ,
[0022] wherein t r represents the lifting time, t f represents the falling time, t b represents the bottom rolling time.
[0023] Further, in step S2, when the tobacco is lifted to a certain angle, the tobacco reaches a critical balance of force and slides off the baffle, and the angle is The specific calculation method is as follows:
[0024]
[0025] wherein n represents the rotating speed of the drum, unit: round / min, g represents the gravity acceleration, and mu represents the friction coefficient.

[0044] The technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings. The following examples are only exemplary and can only be used to explain and illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but cannot be interpreted as a limitation of the technical solutions of the present application.
[0045] The present application provides a tobacco position state estimation method in a cut tobacco drying machine, which comprises the following steps:
[0046] S1, obtain the installation attribute parameters of the cut tobacco drying machine equipment, including the installation inclination angle a of the drum, the diameter D of the drum, the length L of the drum, and the width w of the baffle in the radial direction; the installation position of the drum and the cross section inside the drum are as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The baffle is used for temporarily storing tobacco, and when the drum slowly rotates (for example, clockwise), the tobacco in the baffle near the top falls under the action of gravity.
[0047] In this embodiment, the installation inclination angle a of the drum 1 is 3°, the diameter D of the drum is 1 m, the length L of the drum is 6 m, and the width w of the baffle 2 in the radial direction is 0.2 m. In other embodiments of the present application, the installation position and size of the drum can be changed according to actual needs without affecting the implementation of the technical solutions of the present application.
[0048] S2, calculate the single cycle residence time of tobacco in the drum, that is, the time spent by tobacco from the same position of the cross section back to the position.
[0049] In principle, after the drum rotates about half a circle, the tobacco is affected by gravity and falls from the baffle (approximately free fall), and then is blown to the direction of the drum outlet during the falling process. After advancing a distance, it falls to the bottom of the drum again, and the time length t of this cycle is calculated as follows:
[0050] t=t r +t f +t b ,
[0051] Where t r represents the lifting time, t f represents the falling time, and t b represents the bottom rolling time.
[0052] Where the tobacco reaches a critical balance of force after being lifted to a certain angle and slides off the baffle, and the angle is The specific calculation method is as follows:
[0053]
[0054] Where n represents the rotation speed of the drum, unit: round / min, g represents the acceleration of gravity, and μ represents the friction coefficient.
[0055] In this embodiment, the rotation speed of the drum is 8 round / min, and the friction coefficient is 1.
[0056] At this angle, the tobacco slides down under the action of gravity. Considering the sliding, the first half slides along the baffle, and the initial speed along the baffle direction is 0, so the calculation method of t1 is as follows:
[0057]
[0058] The second half is free fall t2, which has an initial speed and is affected by the acceleration of gravity. The formula for calculating the total displacement size using the initial speed and acceleration and time is: vt+at 2 =d, and the specific parameters are brought in to obtain the time of free fall.
[0059]
[0060] Therefore,
[0061] t f =t1+t2,
[0062] The lifting time part refers to the tobacco rotating from directly below The tobacco is continuously supported by the baffles during this period, thus,
[0063]
[0064] The bottom rolling time refers to the time when the tobacco is at the bottom of the drum and is not pushed by the baffles. During this period, the tobacco stays at the bottom of the drum, and the time is:
[0065]
[0066] where N represents the number of baffles.
[0067] In this embodiment, the number of baffles N = 10. The calculated residence time of a single cycle is t = 2.2882 seconds.
[0068] S3, calculate the residence position of the tobacco in the drum.
[0069] During the residence time of a single cycle, the distance of the tobacco advancing towards the outlet of the drum includes two parts, one part is the displacement of the tobacco caused by the hot air blowing in the single cycle, and the other part is the displacement of the tobacco caused by the gravity component in the free-falling part. The total distance calculation relationship is:
[0070]
[0071] where y k-1 represents the position of the tobacco at the previous moment, y k represents the position of the tobacco at the current moment, is the displacement caused by the gravity component, is the displacement caused by the hot air blowing, where p V represents the medium density of the hot air, B represents the projection area of the tobacco particles in the direction perpendicular to the medium velocity, C represents the drag coefficient, v w represents the wind speed of the hot air, and m c represents the typical mass of the tobacco particles.
[0072] The derivation formula of the speed at the current moment is:
[0073]
[0074] The meanings of the parameters in the above formula are the same as those in the previous text.
[0075] In this embodiment, the projection area of the tobacco particles in the direction perpendicular to the medium velocity B = 3 x 10 -6 m 2 , the drag coefficient C = 0.4, the medium density of the hot air p V = 1 kg / m 3 , and the wind speed v w= 0.1 m / s, typical mass of tobacco particles m c = 1.6 x 10 -6 kg,
[0076] Calculated:
[0077] y k = y k-1 + 0.0696 + 1.8634 * (0.1 - v k-1 ) 2 ,
[0078] v k = v k-1 + 0.8581 * (0.1 - v k-1 ) 2 .
[0079] S4, after the start of the cut tobacco drying machine and detection of the cut tobacco entering the cut tobacco drying machine, the position of the head of the cut tobacco is updated every time t, the updating method is step (3), specifically, the initial position y0=0, v0=0, every t=2.2882, the current speed and the position of the cut tobacco are updated, until y k >L.
[0080] S5, after the cut tobacco drying machine detects that the cut tobacco stops entering the cut tobacco drying machine, the position of the tail of the cut tobacco is updated every time t, the updating method is step (3), specifically, the initial position y0=0, v0=0, every t=2.2882, the current speed and the position of the cut tobacco are updated, until y k >L.
[0081] Figure 3 Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the prediction result of the position of the cut tobacco after the start of the cut tobacco drying machine and detection of the cut tobacco entering the cut tobacco drying machine, Figure 4 Fig. 2 is a speed curve diagram, which shows that the speed gradually accelerates from 0 to a stable state in the initial stage of the cut tobacco entering the cut tobacco drying machine roller, so the movement on the y-axis presents the characteristics of slow first and gradually stable.
[0082] The present application can have various changes and variations for those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
