[0049] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings. It can be understood that the illustrative embodiments of the present disclosure include but are not limited to a tobacco loose conditioning method and a loose conditioning system, and the specific embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of explaining the present application, but not limiting the present application. In addition, for the purpose of description, only the parts related to the present application are shown in the drawings, but not all the structures or processes.

[0050] The present application will be described with reference to particular embodiments of the application and procedures for carrying out the application. Other advantages and benefits of the present application will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading and understanding the following detailed description of the application. While the description of the application will focus on preferred embodiments, it is understood that the application should not be limited to these embodiments. On the contrary, the intent is to cover all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents falling within the scope of the claims based on the present application. In order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application, numerous specific details about the preferred embodiments are included. The present application can be practiced without these details. In addition, well known or commonly used structures and techniques have not been described in detail in order not to unnecessarily obscure the disclosure. It is intended that the embodiments and features of the application described herein can be combined with each other, where not in contradiction.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present application, the loose conditioning method of tobacco comprises:

[0052] Step S101: setting the spray nozzle of the loose conditioning machine as a double medium spray nozzle, connecting one inlet of the double medium spray nozzle to the steam source through the first control valve, and connecting the other inlet of the double medium spray nozzle to the water source through the second control valve.

[0053] Step S102: obtaining the temperature measurement and moisture measurement of the tobacco at the outlet of the loose conditioning machine.

[0054] Step S103: adjusting the opening degree of the first control valve and the second control valve based on the temperature measurement and the moisture measurement, respectively.

[0055] Specifically, the loose conditioning machine of TB-L flex type can be used for loose conditioning treatment of tobacco, and a steam-water mixed spray nozzle (i.e. a double medium spray nozzle) is installed at the outlet of the loose conditioning machine of TB-L flex type, wherein the steam in the steam source enters one inlet of the steam-water mixed spray nozzle through a stop valve, a filter, a pressure reducing valve and a first control valve (such as a pneumatic diaphragm valve) in sequence, the process water enters the other inlet of the steam-water mixed spray nozzle through a heated water tank and a flow meter in sequence, and the steam and the process water are mixed at the steam-water mixed spray nozzle, so that the process water is uniformly sprayed on the tobacco sheet by steam entrainment, thereby realizing the conditioning of tobacco.

[0056] Specifically, if the spray nozzle is blocked, the pressure between the flow meter and the spray nozzle will be very large, which may cause damage to the flow meter. Therefore, in order to protect the flow meter and balance the pressure, an overflow valve can be added between the flow meter and the spray nozzle, so that when the spray nozzle is blocked, the overflow valve is used to prevent damage to the flow meter before the pressure returns to the flow meter.

[0057] Further, the amount of process water and steam sprayed on the tobacco sheet is determined by the TB-L flex type loose conditioning machine outlet moisture detector and temperature detector. In order to ensure normal injection of process water, the amount of steam and the amount of process water can be set in a fixed ratio to prevent process water from not being normally injected and dripping on the tobacco sheet due to insufficient steam. Specifically, the fixed ratio can be obtained by testing according to the selection and structure of the water supply pipeline, steam pipeline and nozzle.

[0058] The present application can adjust the amount of process water and steam according to various control modes, including:

[0059] Control outlet tobacco sheet moisture deviation mode: the opening degree of the pneumatic diaphragm valve is the minimum opening degree for normal water atomization, and then the water amount is adjusted according to the average value of the outlet moisture deviation;

[0060] Control outlet tobacco sheet temperature deviation mode: close the water supply, and adjust the opening degree of the pneumatic diaphragm valve according to the average value of the outlet tobacco sheet temperature deviation

[0061] Control outlet tobacco sheet moisture standard deviation mode: the opening degree of the pneumatic diaphragm valve is the minimum opening degree for normal water atomization, and the water amount is dynamically adjusted according to the outlet moisture standard deviation

[0062] Control outlet tobacco sheet temperature deviation mode: close the water supply, and dynamically adjust the opening degree of the pneumatic diaphragm valve according to the outlet tobacco sheet temperature standard deviation

[0063] Automatic mode: automatically adjust the outlet tobacco sheet temperature and the outlet tobacco sheet moisture according to the set control mode.

[0064] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, the opening degree of the first control valve and the second control valve is adjusted based on the temperature measurement value and the moisture measurement value, including:

[0065] Obtain a set moisture value and a set temperature value;

[0066] Calculate the difference between the temperature measurement value and the set temperature value as a temperature difference value;

[0067] Calculate the difference between the moisture measurement value and the set moisture value as a moisture difference value;

[0068] Adjust the opening degree of the first control valve and the opening degree of the second control valve based on the temperature difference value and the moisture difference value.

[0069] That is, the temperature residual and moisture residual control mode is adopted, specifically, the moisture residual at the outlet of the loose conditioning machine is applied to the control of the process water flow meter, so as to realize the rapid and flexible outlet tobacco sheet moisture adjustment and reduce the outlet tobacco sheet moisture standard deviation; the temperature residual at the outlet of the loose conditioning machine is applied to the control of the steam pipeline pneumatic diaphragm valve, so as to realize the rapid and flexible outlet tobacco sheet temperature adjustment and reduce the outlet tobacco sheet temperature standard deviation.

[0070] Specifically, the moisture set value and the temperature set value can be set according to the situation, and generally, the moisture set value is (17±0.5)% and the temperature set value is (55±1)℃.

[0071] In another embodiment of the present application, the temperature standard parameter and moisture standard residual control module can also be based on, specifically, the opening degrees of the first control valve and the second control valve are adjusted based on the temperature measurement value and the moisture measurement value, including:

[0072] The set moisture standard deviation value and the set temperature standard deviation are obtained;

[0073] The standard deviation of the temperature measurement value is calculated, and the difference between the standard deviation of the temperature measurement value and the set temperature standard deviation is taken as the temperature difference value;

[0074] The standard deviation of the moisture measurement value is calculated, and the difference between the standard deviation of the moisture measurement value and the set moisture standard deviation is taken as the moisture difference value;

[0075] The opening degrees of the first control valve and the second control valve are adjusted based on the temperature difference value and the moisture difference value.

[0076] Further, the opening degrees of the first control valve and the second control valve are adjusted based on the temperature difference value and the moisture difference value, including:

[0077] The temperature difference upper limit, the temperature difference lower limit, the moisture difference upper limit and the moisture difference lower limit are obtained respectively;

[0078] The temperature difference value is compared with the temperature difference upper limit and the temperature difference lower limit, and the moisture difference value is compared with the moisture difference lower limit and the moisture difference upper limit;

[0079] If the temperature difference value is greater than the temperature difference upper limit and the moisture difference value is between the moisture difference lower limit and the moisture difference upper limit, the opening degree of the first control valve is reduced;

[0080] If the temperature difference value is less than the temperature difference lower limit and the moisture difference value is between the moisture difference lower limit and the moisture difference upper limit, the opening degree of the first control valve is increased;

[0081] If the temperature difference value is between the temperature difference lower limit and the temperature difference upper limit and the moisture difference value is less than the moisture difference lower limit, the opening degree of the second control valve is increased;

[0082] if the temperature difference value is between the temperature difference lower limit and the temperature difference upper limit and the moisture difference value is greater than the moisture difference upper limit, then the opening of the second control valve is reduced;

[0083] if the temperature difference value is less than the temperature difference lower limit and the moisture difference value is less than the moisture difference lower limit, then the openings of the first control valve and the second control valve are simultaneously increased;

[0084] if the temperature difference value is greater than the temperature difference upper limit and the moisture difference value is greater than the moisture difference upper limit, then the openings of the first control valve and the second control valve are simultaneously reduced;

[0085] if the temperature difference value is less than the temperature difference lower limit and the moisture difference value is greater than the moisture difference upper limit, then the opening of the second control valve is reduced;

[0086] if the temperature difference value is greater than the temperature difference upper limit and the moisture difference value is less than the moisture difference lower limit, then the opening of the second control valve is increased.

[0087] Specifically, the temperature difference upper limit and the moisture difference upper limit are both greater than 0, the temperature difference lower limit and the moisture difference lower limit are both less than 0, and the temperature difference upper / lower limit and the moisture difference upper / lower limit can be set according to the process and tobacco requirements.

[0088] Further, the process water is output to the nozzle through the heating tank, and when the temperature difference value is less than the temperature difference lower limit and the moisture difference value is greater than the moisture difference upper limit, the process water can be heated by controlling the heating tank while reducing the opening of the second control valve.

[0089] The application increases the outlet feedback function and adopts the steam-water mixed adding mode, detects the moisture and temperature of the tobacco at the outlet of the loose conditioning machine, and based on the detected moisture and temperature values at the outlet, adjusts the first control valve and the second control valve in real time to control the proportion and weight of the steam and water added into the conditioning machine, thereby ensuring that the temperature and moisture of the tobacco at the outlet of the loose conditioning machine are within a suitable range.

[0090] The application also discloses a loose conditioning system, comprising a loose conditioning machine, wherein the nozzle of the loose conditioning machine is a double-medium nozzle, and the loose conditioning system further comprises:

[0091] a steam pipeline, one end of which is connected with one inlet of the double-medium nozzle, and the other end of which is connected with a steam source, and the steam pipeline is provided with a first control valve;

[0092] a water pipeline, one end of which is connected with the other inlet of the double-medium nozzle, and the other end of which is connected with a water source, and the water pipeline is provided with a second control valve;

[0093] a moisture detector, which is arranged at the outlet of the loose conditioning machine and is used for detecting the moisture of the tobacco at the outlet of the loose conditioning machine;

[0094] A temperature detector is arranged at the outlet of the loose conditioning machine to detect the temperature of the tobacco at the outlet of the loose conditioning machine.

[0095] A control module is connected with the moisture detector, the temperature detector, the first control valve and the second control valve respectively, and is configured to adjust the opening degrees of the first control valve and the second control valve according to the output data of the moisture detector and the temperature detector.

[0096] Specifically, the application adds an outlet feedback function, and adopts a steam-water mixing adding mode, detects the moisture and temperature of the tobacco at the outlet of the loose conditioning machine by using the moisture detector and the temperature detector, and adjusts the opening degrees of the first control valve and the second control valve in real time based on the detected moisture and temperature values at the outlet to control the proportion and weight of the steam and water added into the conditioning machine, so as to ensure that the temperature and moisture of the tobacco at the outlet of the loose conditioning machine are within a proper range.

[0097] Specifically, the first control valve is a pneumatic diaphragm valve.

[0098] As shown in Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 2, along the conveying direction of the process water, a heating water tank 21, a flow meter 22 and an overflow valve 23 are further arranged on the output pipeline, wherein the flow meter 22 and the heating water tank 21 are connected with the control module, the flow meter 22 is configured to detect the water flow in the water conveying pipeline, and the heating water tank 21 is configured to heat the process water.

[0099] Specifically, the overflow valve 23 is used to balance the pressure to protect the flow meter 22. Specifically, if the nozzle 30 is blocked, the pressure between the flow meter 22 and the nozzle 30 will be very large, which may cause damage to the flow meter 22. Therefore, in order to balance the pressure to protect the flow meter 22, the overflow valve 23 is added between the flow meter 22 and the nozzle 30, so that when the nozzle 30 is blocked, the overflow valve 23 is used to prevent the flow meter 22 from being damaged before the pressure returns to the flow meter 22.

[0100] As shown in FIG. 2, along the conveying direction of the steam, the steam source and the pneumatic diaphragm valve 14 are sequentially provided with a stop valve 11, a filter 12 and a pressure reducing valve 13, and the steam is sequentially output to the nozzle 30 through the stop valve 11, the filter 12, the pressure reducing valve 13 and the pneumatic diaphragm valve 14.

Furthermore, the terms "first", "second" and the like are used merely as labels, i.e. they are used to distinguish between two entities that have the same or similar characteristics, but do not necessarily indicate a particular order or sequence.
