Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tobacco processing and production, and in particular relates to a feeding device and method for a leaf shred air separator capable of improving air separation efficiency. Background Art

[0002] The air separation and impurity removal process is an important process in the tobacco processing and production process. The main purpose is to control the content of shredded tobacco in the discarded stems and remove the stems produced by the cutting of tobacco veins. The high content of stems in the tobacco has a great influence on the unit weight of the rolled cigarettes and the uniformity of the distribution of tobacco shreds and the density of the tobacco body in a single cigarette, which in turn has a great influence on the hardness, tar content, draw resistance, sensory quality, tobacco consumption and the operating efficiency of the cigarette machine equipment. It is also easy to cause cigarette paper puncture and burning cone turning on cigarettes, especially medium and thin cigarettes, resulting in quality defects; the qualified tobacco shreds contained in the discarded stems are discarded, which also affects the cost of cigarette raw materials.

[0003] At present, cigarette manufacturers mostly use leaf shred air separators as processing equipment after the leaf shred drying stage, and use the difference in suspension speed between tobacco shreds and stems to remove stems contained in tobacco shreds. Although the feed device of the leaf shred air separator is equipped with a high-speed conveyor belt for throwing and thinning, the entanglement and even clumping of some tobacco shreds affect the stability of the gas flow field and the setting of the gas flow rate in the air separation area of ​​the air separator. At the same time, the production line flow is large, and there is still overlap between tobacco shreds and stems. In addition, the diversity of tobacco shreds also causes some stems to be lifted and moved by the clumped tobacco shreds and cannot be separated, resulting in a certain probability in the air separation process. Increasing the amount of stem removal will cause tobacco to be discharged with the stems, increasing tobacco loss. Therefore, the leaf shred air separator can only remove a certain amount of stems, which can no longer meet the needs of higher-end products. To cope with this situation, the industry often uses leaf shred air classifiers as the basic equipment and sets up secondary air classifiers in parallel. On the basis of increasing the amount of stems removed by the leaf shred air classifier, the tobacco discharged with the stems are re-air-processed and recovered by air classification through the secondary air classification equipment. During the secondary air classification process, the material is loosened, relatively free, and has a relatively large air classification surface. A smaller material-to-air ratio and a lower suspension speed can be used for air classification, thereby achieving more than 5 times the amount of stems removed by the current leaf shred air classifier, and the processing effect is greatly improved. However, the production lines of some cigarette companies do not have the conditions to meet the space requirements for the layout of secondary air separation equipment, resulting in shortcomings in processing capacity; and under the condition of a certain rejection amount, the procurement investment and operating energy consumption costs of the secondary air separation equipment are relatively large; at the same time, according to the actual operation of the leaf shred air separator under the secondary air separation treatment process, it is found that when the air volume of the leaf shred air separator is reduced and the rejection amount of the leaf shred air separator is increased, since the amount of material entering the secondary air separation equipment for processing accounts for about 10%, the remaining material volume is still relatively large, and a small amount of stems will still pass through the air separation area of ​​the leaf shred air separator and enter the downstream equipment. In fact, there is still room for further improvement in the air separation efficiency of the leaf shred air separator. Summary of the invention

[0009] Furthermore, the cross-sectional dimensions of the channel between the first partition (2-5) and the bottom of the high-speed conveyor belt (2-4) and the air flow channel between the first partition (2-5) and the second partition (2-7) are different, so as to obtain different air flow velocities and realize differentiated air separation treatment of materials and stems of different shapes and sizes in the blade fibers.

[0015] A method for feeding a blade filament air separator to improve air separation efficiency, characterized in that the method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0016] S1. The incoming material pretreatment unit connects and delivers the materials delivered by the upstream feeding vibration conveyor of the leaf shred air separator, and screens and separates the materials and stems through the screening bars according to the different shapes and sizes of the materials and stems during the transportation process, and loosens the materials to a certain extent;

[0017] S2. After screening and separation, the materials with larger shapes and sizes and a small number of stems located above the screening bar enter the high-speed conveyor belt of the air separation feeding unit through the first outlet of the incoming material pretreatment unit. The materials with larger shapes and sizes are separated from the small number of stems mixed therein by the inertia of the materials after leaving the high-speed conveyor belt and the air flow velocity in the separation position area. The stems fall through the impurity bucket component of the leaf shred air separator and leave the production line.

The difference in suspension speed is used to separate the small-sized materials from most of the stems mixed therein. The stems fall through the impurity bucket component of the leaf shred air separator and leave the production line. The leaf shreds move upward with the air flow and enter the channel under the high-speed conveyor belt to settle and fall in the box of the leaf shred air separator and are collected with the leaf shreds after air separation in the above-mentioned process B, and then are conveyed by the belt of the conveying component of the leaf shred air separator to the discharge device of the leaf shred air separator and enter the downstream equipment;

[0019] S4. In the above steps S2 and S3, the oversized and larger materials can fall down and enter the impurity bucket of the current leaf shred air separator to be processed and separated by air separation according to the existing loosening and deagglomeration mode, thereby completing the entire feeding process of the leaf shred air separator with auxiliary air separation.

[0020] Furthermore, the high-speed conveyor belt (2-4) can realize the thin conveying of materials with large shapes and sizes and provide a throwing speed to obtain a certain air separation surface. The closed throwing device (2-6) can realize the rapid throwing of materials with small shapes and sizes, making the materials relatively free and dispersedly distributed, while avoiding the existence of horizontal airflow, which is conducive to ensuring the air separation efficiency.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0022] 1. Based on the existing leaf shred air separator, the present invention can complete the connection and transportation of the upstream incoming materials of the leaf shred air separator through the incoming material pretreatment unit and perform corresponding loosening, screening and separation treatments during the transportation process, and then the high-speed conveyor belts and closed throwers at different positions of the air separation feeding unit are used to send them to air separation areas in different states for air separation and impurity removal treatment.

[0023] 2. For materials with large size, the present invention separates the materials with large size from a small amount of stems mixed therein by coordinating inertia and air flow velocity. For materials with small size, the materials with small size are separated from most of the stems mixed therein by utilizing the difference in suspension velocity after being fully scattered.

[0024] 3. The present invention can greatly reduce the impact of materials with large shapes and sizes on the air separation efficiency, and can perform differentiated air separation treatments on materials and stems of different shapes and sizes in the shredded tobacco. It also realizes the diversion treatment of upstream incoming materials and reduces the material-to-air ratio in the air separation process, thereby effectively improving the air separation efficiency of the shredded tobacco air separator. At the same time, it can stably control the shredded content in the removed stems to reduce the waste of raw material costs caused by the discarding of shredded tobacco with the stems. It can also avoid the purchase and operating costs brought by the reuse of equipment and the occupation of production line space under the demand for a certain amount of air separation removal.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] A method for feeding a blade filament air separator for improving air separation efficiency of the present invention specifically comprises the following steps:

[0041] S1. The incoming material pretreatment unit 1 is connected to the material delivered by the upstream feeding vibration conveyor 7 of the leaf shred air separator, and during the conveying process, the material and the stems are screened and separated through the screening bars 1-4 according to the different shapes and sizes, and the material is loosened to a certain extent.

[0042] S2.

After screening and separation, the materials with larger shapes and sizes and a small number of stems located above the screening bar enter the high-speed conveyor belt of the air separation feeding unit through the first outlet of the incoming material pretreatment unit. The materials with larger shapes and sizes are separated from the small number of stems mixed therein by the inertia of the materials after leaving the high-speed conveyor belt and the air flow velocity in the separation position area. The stems fall through the impurity bucket component of the leaf shred air separator and leave the production line.

The difference in suspension speed is used to separate the small-sized materials from most of the stems mixed therein. The stems fall through the impurity bucket component of the leaf shred air separator and leave the production line. The leaf shreds move upward with the air flow and enter the channel under the high-speed conveyor belt to settle and fall in the box of the leaf shred air separator and are collected with the leaf shreds after air separation in the above-mentioned process B, and then are conveyed by the belt of the conveying component of the leaf shred air separator to the discharge device of the leaf shred air separator and enter the downstream equipment; S4.
