Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of tobacco material processing, and more specifically, to an improved method, apparatus, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium for impregnation processes of tobacco shreds based on carbon dioxide immersion. Background Technology

[0002] In the carbon dioxide dry ice tobacco production process of the expansion line, before impregnating the tobacco, the impregnator needs to perform the following operations: dual-speed belt material preparation, liquid replenishment in the process tank, pre-cooling of the vibrating cabinet, cold circulation of the impregnator system, evacuation of the impregnator, filling of materials into the tank, closing the upper and lower cover doors of the impregnator, primary pressurization of the impregnator through the high-pressure gas holder, secondary pressurization of the process tank to balance the pressure of the impregnator and the process tank, and filling the impregnator with liquid carbon dioxide from the process tank.

[0003] If the electronic scale in front of the dual-speed belt malfunctions during the material preparation process, it will cause insufficient material preparation, reduce the design capability of the impregnator process, and may lead to material interruption at the hot end of the downstream stage, causing the tobacco to become damp and the quality of the tobacco to be unstable.

[0004] Meanwhile, to ensure safety during the filling process from the process tank to the impregnator, three temperature probes are installed on the impregnator to indicate the liquid level, and the weight of the process tank is monitored to ensure that the filling volume does not exceed the limit. Furthermore, an overflow valve is installed on the process valve station pipeline. In the event of overflow, the filling process is forcibly stopped. However, during use, because the overflow valve is connected to the process valve station pipeline via a metal pipe, at the end of each process cycle of the impregnation system, the upper and lower cylinder covers are opened. The inner wall of the overflow valve pipe connected to the upper cylinder cover is open to the atmosphere through the upper cylinder cover. The relatively cold inner wall of the overflow valve pipe continuously absorbs water molecules from the air at the end of each impregnation cycle, causing water droplets to accumulate inside the overflow valve pipe. When the water droplets accumulate to a certain level, a false alarm of over-level overflow is triggered, affecting normal production.

[0005] Therefore, one or more methods are needed to solve the above problems.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide an improved method, apparatus, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium for impregnation of tobacco based on carbon dioxide, thereby overcoming at least to some extent one or more problems caused by the limitations and defects of related technologies.

[0008] According to one aspect of this disclosure, an improved method for an impregnation process based on carbon dioxide soaking of tobacco is provided, comprising:

[0009] Based on the production steps of expansion-line carbon dioxide dry ice tobacco, when the preset impregnation process starts and the lower cover of the impregnator is closed, the impregnator is injected with a preset weight of material through the preset material preparation algorithm, thus generating the impregnator material preparation process.

[0010] Based on the production steps of carbon dioxide dry ice tobacco based on the expansion line, before the preset impregnation process begins, the overflow valve over-level false alarm is corrected by removing the condensate from the overflow valve, and an overflow valve false alarm handling process is generated.

[0011] Based on the production steps of expansion-line carbon dioxide dry ice tobacco, after the preset impregnation process is completed, the lower cover of the impregnator is cleaned by the improved conveyor trough flip door, generating an impregnator cleaning process.

[0012] Based on the impregnator preparation process, overflow valve false alarm handling process, and impregnator cleaning process, the impregnation process for carbon dioxide soaking tobacco is improved.

[0013] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, based on the pre-prepared material preparation algorithm, when the preset impregnation process starts and the lower cover of the impregnator is closed, a material request signal is generated by sending a signal to the material preparation module, and a low-speed material preparation signal is generated by sending a start signal to the transmission module.

[0014] Based on the material demand signal, the preset warehouse materials are weighed using a material preparation electronic scale to generate materials to be inspected;

[0015] Based on the low-speed material preparation signal, the material to be inspected is transported through the transmission module to generate a material detection signal;

[0016] Based on the material detection signal, when the material detection phototube detects the material to be inspected passing through, the material to be inspected is weighed by the material detection electronic scale to generate inspected material.

[0017] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, based on the pre-prepared material algorithm, when the detected pre-prepared material weight is less than the pre-prepared material weight, a low-speed pre-prepared material preparation incomplete signal is generated by sending signals to the pre-prepared material module and the transmission module.

[0018] Based on the low-speed material preparation not finished signal, the preset warehouse materials are weighed by the material preparation electronic scale to generate supplementary material preparation. The supplementary material preparation is transported to the detection electronic scale by the transmission module. The supplementary material preparation is weighed by the detection electronic scale to generate inspected material preparation.

[0019] Based on the pre-loading algorithm, when the detected pre-loaded weight is greater than or equal to the pre-loaded weight, a high-speed loading signal is generated by sending a signal to the transmission module.

[0020] Based on the high-speed loading signal, the inspected and prepared material is transported to the impregnator through the transmission module, completing the injection of the preset weight of material into the impregnator.

[0021] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, an independent connection component for the overflow valve is generated by establishing an isolation connection between the overflow valve and the process valve station pipeline;

[0022] By wrapping an insulation layer around the outer surface of the independent connecting component of the overflow valve, a protective layer is generated on the outer surface of the overflow valve. Based on the protective layer on the outer surface of the overflow valve, the condensed ice layer on the outer surface of the overflow valve is removed.

[0023] The ice layer on the outer surface of the overflow valve is removed by blowing away the ice layer through the independent connecting component of the overflow valve with compressed air.

[0024] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, an overflow valve water storage module is generated by expanding the radius of the overflow valve water accumulation pipe;

[0025] Based on the overflow valve water storage module, the overflow valve water storage module is drained by the drain solenoid valve installed in the overflow valve water storage pipe, thereby removing the condensate water from the inner wall of the overflow valve.

[0026] Based on the removal of the ice layer on the outer surface of the overflow valve and the removal of the condensate on the inner wall of the overflow valve, the false alarm of the overflow valve liquid level is corrected.

[0027] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, by improving the conveyor trough flip door, a conveyor trough flip door closing female buckle and a conveyor trough flip door hollow female buckle are generated;

[0028] Based on the conveyor trough flip-door closing latch and the conveyor trough flip-door hollow female latch, when cleaning the impregnator, the conveyor trough flip-door flips inward, and the lower cover grate of the impregnator is cleaned through the hollow gap, thus completing the cleaning of the lower cover of the impregnator.

[0029] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, based on the impregnator preparation process, the overflow valve false alarm handling process, and the impregnator cleaning process, the impregnation process of carbon dioxide soaking tobacco is monitored by a stepper to generate a comprehensive improved impregnation process.

[0030] Based on the aforementioned improved impregnation process, the impregnation process for carbon dioxide-impregnated tobacco is improved.

[0031] In one aspect of this disclosure, an improved apparatus for an impregnation process of tobacco based on carbon dioxide soaking is provided, comprising:

[0032] The impregnator material preparation module is used to inject a preset weight of material into the impregnator through a pre-prepared material preparation algorithm;

[0034] An impregnator cleaning module is used to clean the lower cover of the impregnator via an improved conveyor chute flip door;

That is, these functional entities can be implemented in software, or in one or more software-hardened modules, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0052] In this example embodiment, an improved method for impregnating tobacco shreds based on carbon dioxide soaking is first provided; see reference Figure 1 As shown, the improved impregnation process method based on carbon dioxide soaking of tobacco may include the following steps:

[0053] Step S110, the production steps of carbon dioxide dry ice tobacco based on expansion line: when the preset impregnation process starts and the lower cover of the impregnator is closed, the impregnator is injected with a preset weight of material through the preset material preparation algorithm to generate the impregnator material preparation process.

[0054] Step S120, based on the production steps of carbon dioxide dry ice tobacco based on the expansion line, before the preset impregnation process begins, the overflow valve over-level false alarm is corrected by removing the condensate from the overflow valve, and an overflow valve false alarm handling process is generated.

[0055] Step S130, the production steps of carbon dioxide dry ice tobacco based on expansion line, after the preset impregnation process is completed, the lower cover of the impregnator is cleaned by the improved conveyor trough flip door, generating the impregnator cleaning process.

[0056] Step S140: Based on the impregnator material preparation process, overflow valve false alarm handling process, and impregnator cleaning process, the impregnation process for carbon dioxide soaking tobacco is improved.

[0057] An exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides an improved method for the impregnation process of tobacco shreds based on carbon dioxide soaking. The method includes: a production step of carbon dioxide dry ice tobacco shreds based on an expansion line; when a preset impregnation process begins and the lower cover of the impregnator is closed, a preset weight of material is injected into the impregnator using a pre-prepared material preparation algorithm, generating an impregnator material preparation process; before the preset impregnation process begins, the overflow valve over-level false alarm is corrected by removing condensate from the overflow valve, generating an overflow valve false alarm handling process; after the preset impregnation process ends, the lower cover of the impregnator is cleaned using an improved conveyor chute tilting door, generating an impregnator cleaning process. Based on the above processes, the impregnation process of carbon dioxide soaked tobacco shreds is improved. This disclosure, through multi-faceted process improvements, provides sufficient materials for the production process, facilitates the cleaning of production equipment, and ensures the safety of the production process.

[0058] The following will further explain an improved impregnation process method for tobacco shreds based on carbon dioxide soaking in this example embodiment.

[0059] In the template configuration step S110, in the production step of carbon dioxide dry ice tobacco based on expansion line, when the preset impregnation process starts and the lower cover of the impregnator is closed, the impregnator is injected with a preset weight of material through the preset material preparation algorithm to generate the impregnator material preparation process.

[0060] In the embodiments of this example, as Figure 2 As shown, based on the pre-loading algorithm, when the impregnator's lower cover is closed and preparations are made to load tobacco into the impregnator, the first step is to check if the tobacco in the preparation warehouse is ready, and to ensure that the impregnator's top cover is open, the impregnator's top cover safety door is closed, and the reciprocating conveyor's telescopic chute is retracted. Then, the impregnator selects the "carbon dioxide plus tobacco" operating model, the reciprocating conveyor trolley starts, and one end of the reciprocating conveyor is connected to the upper flange of the impregnator (the reciprocating conveyor's telescopic chute extends after the reciprocating conveyor reaches its position). The other end is connected to the dual-speed conveyor. After the reciprocating conveyor reaches its position, the reciprocating conveyor trolley locks after a delay (usually 1 second) (it cannot rotate forward or backward), waiting for loading.

[0061] Afterwards, a material request signal is sent to the material preparation module via network transmission. Based on this signal, the material preparation electronic scale starts to weigh the stored tobacco (generally 340KG of tobacco is required for the production process). The tobacco that has completed the first weighing (material to be inspected) is transported by a dual-speed belt conveyor with low-speed material preparation.

[0062] A material detection phototube is installed on the dual-speed belt conveyor. When tobacco shreds are detected passing through, the material detection electronic scale is activated to perform a second weighing of the material to be inspected. The tobacco shreds after the second weighing are the inspected material.

[0063] In the embodiments of this example, as Figure 2 As shown, based on the pre-prepared material algorithm, when the inspected material weight is less than the pre-prepared material weight (i.e., the inspected material weight has not reached 340KG), the downstream equipment of the dual-speed belt conveyor is started, and a low-speed material preparation not finished signal is sent to the material preparation module.

[0064] After receiving the signal that the low-speed material preparation has not ended, the material preparation module weighs the tobacco shreds again through the above steps until the weight of the inspected material after replenishment reaches the pre-prepared material weight (i.e., the inspected material plus the replenished material reaches 340KG).

[0065] At this point, the downstream equipment of the dual-speed belt conveyor is stopped, and a sufficient amount of tobacco is transported to the impregnator by a high-speed dual-speed belt conveyor and a reciprocating belt conveyor.

[0066] Finally, after the material loading is completed (while simultaneously ensuring that the material detection phototube cannot detect any material after a preset time and the dual-speed belt conveyor is in high-speed loading mode), the reciprocating belt conveyor stops operating, the reciprocating belt conveyor telescopic trough retracts into place, and the reciprocating belt conveyor trolley returns to its parking position, completing the entire material preparation process for the impregnator.

[0067] Through this example embodiment, it is possible to ensure that, under safe conditions, the transmission module will inject tobacco into the impregnator whenever it requests material from the material preparation module (regardless of the completion of low-speed material preparation). However, before tobacco injection, if the transmission module is still in the low-speed material preparation phase, the material preparation scale will operate accordingly, ending once the target weight is reached. If the transmission module is in the low-speed material preparation phase before tobacco injection, the material preparation scale will be in standby mode, and high-speed material transport will commence directly. This ensures a sufficient supply of tobacco to the impregnator, guaranteeing the normal operation of the subsequent hot end.

[0068] In the template configuration step S120, based on the production steps of carbon dioxide dry ice tobacco with expansion line, before the preset impregnation process begins, the overflow valve over-level false alarm is corrected by removing the condensate from the overflow valve, and an overflow valve false alarm handling process is generated.

[0069] In this example embodiment, an overflow valve is installed on the process valve station pipeline of the impregnator (the overflow valve is the last line of defense to stop filling the impregnator if the liquid level exceeds the limit). The overflow valve contains an ultrasonic level detection device to monitor the liquid carbon dioxide level in the impregnator, triggering an alarm when the liquid carbon dioxide level is too high. However, after a period of operation, condensate will form on the inner wall of the overflow valve pipeline in existing equipment. Once this condensate accumulates to a certain level, it will cause an abnormal alarm from the ultrasonic level detection device, resulting in the impregnator stopping operation. To improve operational stability, this example uses an independent connecting component to isolate the overflow valve from the process valve station pipeline.

[0070] Furthermore, an insulation layer is wrapped around the independent connecting components of the overflow valve and the outer surface of the overflow valve pipe, or when ice is seen to be forming, compressed air is used to blow away the independent connecting components of the overflow valve and the outer surface of the overflow valve pipe to prevent the possibility of ice forming on the outer surface of the overflow valve pipe (ice on the surface of the overflow valve will further cool the inner wall of the overflow valve, making it easier for the inner wall of the overflow valve to absorb water molecules in the air to form water droplets, thereby shortening the time of false alarm of the overflow valve).

[0071] Furthermore, the radius of the overflow valve's water accumulation pipe can be increased to create an overflow valve water accumulation storage area, enhancing the overflow valve pipe's ability to collect condensate. Then, the overflow valve's water accumulation storage area can be drained through a matching drain solenoid valve (the drain solenoid valve can be programmed, for example, after the day's tasks are completed, the upper and lower covers of the impregnator are opened, the top main valve is closed, the impregnator is disconnected from the high-pressure gas holder, the bottom main valve is closed, and the impregnator is disconnected from the process tank, and then the drain solenoid valve is opened to remove the accumulated water under safe conditions).

[0072] By implementing the above multiple measures, the formation of condensate in the overflow valve can be largely resolved, the probability of false alarms from the ultrasonic level detection device can be reduced, and the operational stability of the process can be improved.

[0073] In the template configuration step S130, based on the production step of carbon dioxide dry ice tobacco with expansion line, after the preset impregnation process is completed, the lower cover of the impregnator is cleaned by the improved conveyor trough flip door to generate the impregnator cleaning process.

[0074] In the embodiments of this example, as Figure 3 As shown, a conveyor trough flip-top door is provided to prevent residual dry ice tobacco from falling into it. The conveyor trough flip-top door includes a closure latch and a perforated latch. When the flip-top door is in the closed position, the closure latch can completely seal the perforated latch.

[0075] After the final process flow of the day, the conveyor chute is flipped inward, and residual dry ice and tobacco on the lower cover grate of the impregnator are cleaned through the perforated female buckle (if necessary, Vaseline is applied after cleaning the ice layer). The same procedure is repeated before the first process flow of the day.

[0076] In template configuration step S140, the impregnation process for carbon dioxide soaked tobacco can be improved based on the impregnator material preparation process, overflow valve false alarm handling process, and impregnator cleaning process.

[0077] In this example embodiment, based on the impregnator preparation process, the overflow valve false alarm handling process, and the impregnator cleaning process, this example is equipped with a stepper in each piece of equipment in the impregnation process. The stepper monitors each step of the carbon dioxide impregnation process for tobacco. If the action cannot be completed within the specified time, the current state will be maintained and an alarm will be issued to remind the operator to find the cause of the fault and handle it.

[0078] Based on the above comprehensive improvements to the original impregnation process, the impregnation process for carbon dioxide-impregnated tobacco has been improved.

[0079] It should be noted that although the steps of the method in this disclosure are described in a specific order in the accompanying drawings, this does not require or imply that the steps must be performed in that specific order, or that all the steps shown must be performed to achieve the desired result. Additional or alternative steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into one step, and / or a step may be broken down into multiple steps.
