[0041] As shown in the embodiment, an automatic oxygen concentration adjusting system in a tobacco leaf sealed stack is used to automatically adjust the oxygen concentration in the tobacco leaf stack during the aging oxidation process of the tobacco leaf, so as to meet the requirement of oxygen concentration in the aging and maintenance process of the tobacco leaf; the system comprises: Figures 1-3 A sealing bag 100, the number of the sealing bag 100 is at least one, and each sealing bag 100 can be correspondingly arranged on the outside of the tobacco leaf stack to make each tobacco leaf stack in a sealed environment.

[0044] A one-way exhaust valve 400, the number of the one-way exhaust valve 400 is multiple, and the one-way exhaust valve 400 is arranged on each sealing bag 100, and the one-way exhaust valve 400 can exhaust the gas in the stack and reduce the pressure when the nitrogen delivery pipeline 330 delivers nitrogen into the sealing bag 100.

[0045]

[0046] ​A terminal control module 500 is electrically connected with the data acquisition module 200, and is configured to receive the temperature and humidity information and the oxygen concentration information. The terminal control module 500 is electrically connected with the electrically controlled flow valve 320, and is capable of controlling the opening degree of the electrically controlled flow valve 320 according to the temperature and humidity information and the oxygen concentration information of the tobacco bale, so as to adjust the nitrogen delivery amount of the nitrogen supply module 300 to the sealed bag 100, and to realize the automatic adjustment of the oxygen concentration in the tobacco bale.

[0047] The application utilizes the wireless communication technology, and adopts the master station and substation control mode. The PLC data acquisition terminal 230 is taken as the master station, and each sealed tobacco bale is taken as the substation. Sampling points are arranged in each tobacco bale. The temperature and humidity information of each sampling point is acquired by the temperature and humidity collector 210 and is wirelessly transmitted to the PLC data acquisition terminal 230. Meanwhile, the gas in each sampling point is extracted to the PLC data acquisition terminal 230 one by one through the oxygen concentration inspection pipeline 220, and the oxygen concentration detector built-in is utilized to acquire the oxygen concentration information in each tobacco bale. Then, the acquired temperature and humidity information and oxygen concentration information are delivered to the terminal control module 500. In the terminal control module 500, the oxygen concentration detection value and the temperature and humidity detection value are compared with the preset threshold value, and the opening degree of the electrically controlled flow valve 320 on the nitrogen delivery pipeline 330 is controlled according to the comparison result, so as to realize the adjustment of the nitrogen delivery amount of the nitrogen supply module 300 to the tobacco bale, and to realize the automatic adjustment of the oxygen concentration in the tobacco bale, improve the effectiveness and controllability of the inspection and control, and improve the working efficiency of the aging and maintenance.

[0048] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The nitrogen supply module 300 includes a nitrogen generator 310, an electrically controlled flow valve 320, a nitrogen delivery pipeline 330 and a gas storage tank 340. The gas outlet of the nitrogen generator 310 is in communication with the gas inlet of the gas storage tank 340. The gas outlet of the gas storage tank 340 is in communication with the middle of the top of the sealed bag 100 through a plurality of nitrogen delivery pipelines 330. The electrically controlled flow valve 320 is arranged on the nitrogen delivery pipeline 330 in one-to-one correspondence, and is configured to control the on-off of the nitrogen delivery pipeline 330. A pressure sensor (not shown in the figure) for detecting the internal pressure of the gas storage tank 340 is arranged on the gas storage tank 340. A trigger switch (not shown in the figure) is arranged in series on the control circuit of the nitrogen generator 310, and is associated with the pressure sensor, that is, the pressure sensor is capable of controlling the opening and closing of the trigger switch, so as to control the nitrogen delivery of the nitrogen generator 310 to the gas storage tank 340, and to ensure the sufficient supply of nitrogen to the sealed bag 100 through the nitrogen delivery pipeline 330.

[0049] The reason for such an arrangement is that when the pressure in the gas tank 340 is lower than the set pressure, the pressure sensor activates the trigger switch to make the nitrogen generator 310 operate and supplement nitrogen into the gas tank 340; when the pressure in the gas tank 340 reaches the set pressure, the pressure sensor cuts off the trigger switch to make the nitrogen generator 310 stop working, thereby forming a reciprocating cycle to ensure the supply of the gas source. Meanwhile, the gas tank 340 is used to supply gas to the sealed bag 100, which has the advantages of high reliability and good stability, and the cost of physical transformation is relatively low.

[0050] It should be noted that the associated connection of the pressure sensor and the trigger switch is prior art, which will not be described here.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , the nitrogen supply module 300 comprises a nitrogen generator 310, an electric control flow valve 320, and a nitrogen delivery pipeline 330; wherein the nitrogen generator 310 is electrically connected with the terminal control module 500, and the opening and closing of the nitrogen generator 310 can be controlled through the terminal control module 500; the number of the nitrogen delivery pipeline 330 is multiple, the gas inlet end of the nitrogen delivery pipeline 330 is in communication with the gas outlet of the nitrogen generator 310, and the gas outlet end of the nitrogen delivery pipeline 330 is in communication with the middle part of the top of the sealed bag 100 one by one, and the electric control flow valve 320 is arranged on the nitrogen delivery pipeline 330 one by one to control the on-off of the nitrogen delivery pipeline 330.

[0052] The reason for such an arrangement is that the power management system of the existing nitrogen generator 310 can be modified, the nitrogen generator 310 is controlled in the overall operation scheme, the terminal control module 500 sends operation instructions to the nitrogen generator 310, and the operation state of the nitrogen generator 310 is controlled through the power management program of the nitrogen generator 310, which not only can realize the process control and precise control of the whole system operation, but also does not involve special equipment management, and has high safety.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , the one-way exhaust valve 400 is arranged on the sealed bag 100 at one end of the length direction of the tobacco bale, and the opening pressure of the one-way exhaust valve 400 is 0.2 kpa.

[0054] The reason for such an arrangement is that the opening pressure of the one-way exhaust valve 400 is set to 0.2 kpa, which can timely exhaust the gas in the sealed bag 100 when nitrogen is delivered into the sealed bag 100, so as to reduce the internal pressure of the sealed bag 100 and prevent the sealed environment of the tobacco bale from being destroyed.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the one-way exhaust valve 400 comprises a base 410, a valve body 420, a central shaft 430, a reset spring 440 and a diaphragm 450; wherein the base 410 can be fixedly installed on the sealing sleeve bag 100, the valve body 420 is fixedly connected with the base 410, or the base 410 and the valve body 420 can be clamped and fixed on both sides of the sealing sleeve bag 100, so that the one-way exhaust valve 400 can be fixedly installed on the sealing sleeve bag 100.

[0056] The central shaft 430 is arranged in the inner cavity of the valve body 420 vertically to the base 410, and the reset spring 440 is coaxially sleeved on the central shaft 430, one end of the reset spring 440 abuts against the valve body 420, and the other end abuts against the diaphragm 450; a plurality of guide holes (not shown in the figure) are circumferentially distributed on the valve body 420 around the central shaft 430, the guide holes axially extend and penetrate through the base 410, so that the inner cavity of the valve body 420 and the inner cavity of the sealing sleeve bag 100 are communicated, and a plurality of diaphragms 450 are one-to-one correspondingly installed in the guide holes and can move axially, and an exhaust passage (not shown in the figure) for communicating the inner cavity of the valve body 420 and the inner cavity of the sealing sleeve bag 100 is arranged on the diaphragm 450.

[0057] The reason for such arrangement is that when the nitrogen supply module 300 transports nitrogen into the sealing sleeve bag 100, with the input of nitrogen, the internal pressure of the sealing sleeve bag 100 gradually increases and is greater than the opening pressure of the one-way exhaust valve 400, the diaphragm 450 moves axially in the guide hole of the valve body 420 and compresses the reset spring 440, until the exhaust passage on the diaphragm 450 communicates the inner cavity of the valve body 420 and the inner cavity of the sealing sleeve bag 100, because the inner cavity of the valve body 420 is communicated with the space outside the valve body 420, so the gas in the sealing sleeve bag 100 is discharged to the outside space, realizing the pressure reduction of the sealing sleeve bag 100. When the nitrogen supply module 300 stops transporting nitrogen into the sealing sleeve bag 100, with the exhaust of the gas in the sealing sleeve bag 100, the internal pressure of the sealing sleeve bag 100 gradually decreases and is less than the opening pressure of the one-way exhaust valve 400, under the elastic force of the reset spring 440, the diaphragm 450 moves axially in the guide hole of the valve body 420 towards the tobacco bale, until the inner cavity of the valve body 420 and the inner cavity of the sealing sleeve bag 100 are in a non-communicated state.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the data acquisition module 200 includes a temperature and humidity sensor 210, an oxygen concentration monitoring pipeline 220, a PLC data acquisition terminal 230, and an external oxygen concentration detector 240. Multiple temperature and humidity sensors 210 are installed in each sealed bag 100. Each sensor 210 is wirelessly connected to the PLC data acquisition terminal 230 to acquire temperature and humidity information for each tobacco stack and upload it wirelessly to the PLC data acquisition terminal 230. The oxygen concentration monitoring pipeline 220 includes a main oxygen pipe and multiple branch oxygen pipes. One end of the main oxygen pipe is connected to the PLC data acquisition terminal 230. The air inlet of the 0 unit is connected to the air supply port, and the other end is connected to each oxygen branch pipe. The other end of each oxygen branch pipe is connected to the other end of the sealed bag 100 along its length. Each oxygen branch pipe is equipped with a control valve, which is wirelessly connected to the PLC data acquisition terminal 230 to control the opening and closing of each oxygen branch pipe. This enables the PLC data acquisition terminal 230 to connect with each sealed bag 100 one by one, and to extract the gas inside the sealed bag 100 to the PLC data acquisition terminal 230. An oxygen concentration detector is installed inside the PLC data acquisition terminal 230 to detect the oxygen concentration information of the extracted gas inside each sealed bag 100. An external oxygen concentration detector 240 is installed inside the storage compartment and is electrically connected to the PLC data acquisition terminal 230 to detect the oxygen concentration information in the storage compartment, that is, to detect the oxygen concentration information outside the sealed bag 100, and uploads it to the PLC data acquisition terminal 230 to determine whether the oxygen concentration in the storage compartment is sufficient for personnel to enter, so as to ensure the personal safety of the personnel.

[0059] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the temperature and humidity sensor 210 and the PLC data acquisition terminal 230 are connected by electrical signals using LoRa wireless communication. Figure 1 (Dashed line in the middle) The temperature and humidity collector 210 is powered by a long-lasting battery, which improves the integration of the maintenance equipment and helps to improve the airtightness of the tobacco stacks; the terminal control module 500 and the PLC data acquisition terminal 230 are connected by wired electrical signals. The terminal control module 500 analyzes the periodically collected oxygen concentration and temperature and humidity data to provide data for subsequent automatic adjustment and control; the terminal control module 500 and the electrically controlled flow valve 320 are connected by electrical signals via LoRa wireless communication. Figure 1 (Dash line in the middle), wherein the chip equipped with the electronically controlled flow valve 320 has a Lora module, which enables the electronically controlled flow valve 320 to have functions such as wireless remote control, automatic valve closing when power is off, background flow data uploading, and gas usage status monitoring.

[0060] An example of an automatic oxygen concentration regulation method within a sealed tobacco leaf stack includes the following steps:

[0061] S10: The terminal control module 500 periodically sends an information acquisition control instruction to the PLC data acquisition terminal 230, and the PLC data acquisition terminal 230 controls the oxygen concentration inspection pipeline 220 to extract the in-pile gas from each of the sealed bags 100 according to the information acquisition control instruction, and detects the oxygen concentration information of the in-pile gas; at the same time, the PLC data acquisition terminal 230 determines the temperature and humidity information of the tobacco bale wirelessly transmitted by the temperature and humidity collector 210 in the sealed bag 100 according to the information acquisition control instruction.

[0062] S20: The terminal control module 500 receives the oxygen concentration information and the temperature and humidity information transmitted by the PLC data acquisition terminal 230, and judges whether the oxygen concentration information exceeds the preset oxygen concentration threshold corresponding to the temperature and humidity information.

[0063] Specifically, when the temperature of the in-pile gas is 35℃, the corresponding preset oxygen concentration threshold is 2%; when the temperature of the in-pile gas is 33℃, the corresponding preset oxygen concentration threshold is 5%.

[0064] S30: If the oxygen concentration information exceeds the preset oxygen concentration threshold corresponding to the temperature and humidity information, the terminal control module 500 sends a nitrogen delivery instruction to the electric control flow valve 320 to control the nitrogen generator 310 and the nitrogen delivery pipeline 330 to deliver nitrogen into the sealed bag 100 until the oxygen concentration information in the sealed bag 100 is less than or equal to the preset oxygen concentration threshold corresponding to the temperature and humidity information.

[0065] Specifically, when the temperature of the tobacco bale obtained by the PLC data acquisition terminal 230 is 35℃, it is judged whether the oxygen concentration obtained by the PLC data acquisition terminal 230 is greater than 2%; if yes, the terminal control module 500 controls the nitrogen generator 310 and the nitrogen delivery pipeline 330 to deliver nitrogen into the sealed bag 100 until the oxygen concentration in the sealed bag 100 is less than 2%; if no, the next tobacco bale is disposed.

[0066] When the temperature of the tobacco bale obtained by the PLC data acquisition terminal 230 is 33℃, it is judged whether the oxygen concentration obtained by the PLC data acquisition terminal 230 is greater than 5%, if yes, the terminal control module 500 controls the nitrogen generator 310 and the nitrogen delivery pipeline 330 to deliver nitrogen into the sealed bag 100 until the oxygen concentration in the sealed bag 100 is less than 5%; if no, the next tobacco bale is disposed.
