For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0067] Furthermore, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, “plurality” means two or more.

[0068] The present invention provides a leaf threshing, re-baking and impurity removal device, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2The leaf threshing, redrying and impurity removal device comprises a working box 1, a feeding port 11 is provided on the top of the working box 1, an air inlet 12 is provided in the side wall of the working box 1; a wind selection mechanism 2 is provided at the air inlet 12, and the wind selection mechanism 2 is suitable for wind selection of impurities in tobacco leaves; a gripping mechanism 3 is provided on the side wall of the working box 1 adjacent to the wind selection mechanism 2, and a first collection box 91, a tobacco collection box 92 and a second collection box 93 are arranged in sequence below the gripping mechanism 3; the gripping mechanism 3 is suitable for classifying tobacco and impurities. As an illustration, an observation window 18 is also provided on the side wall of the working box 1, so that the operator can observe the working process in the working box 1. The working principle of the present invention is as follows: tobacco leaves enter the working box 1 through the air inlet 12, and the air selection mechanism 2 blows the falling tobacco leaves, and tobacco leaves within a certain weight range will fall into the tobacco collection box 92, tobacco leaves and impurities lighter than the weight range will fall into the first collection box 91, and tobacco leaves and impurities heavier than the weight range will fall into the second collection box 93, and the grabbing mechanism 3 grabs the tobacco leaves in the first collection box 91 and the second collection box 93 into the tobacco collection box 92, and at the same time grabs the impurities in the tobacco collection box 92 into the first collection box 91 or the second collection box 93. The present invention can collect tobacco leaves into the tobacco collection box 92 and impurities into the first collection box 91 and the second collection box 93 by setting the air selection mechanism 2 and the grabbing mechanism 3, thereby realizing automated tobacco impurity removal, and the impurity-removed tobacco leaves are convenient for subsequent baking, fermentation and other processes, which helps to improve the overall utilization efficiency of raw materials, reduce production costs, and improve production efficiency.

[0069] The leaf threshing, re-baking and impurity removal device provided by the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The air selection mechanism 2 includes an air inlet pipe 21 and a diverter plate 22. The diverter plate 22 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 22.1. The air inlet pipe 21 is passed through the feed port 11 and one end of the air inlet pipe 21 located in the inner cavity of the working box 1 is connected to the diverter plate 22. The end of the air inlet pipe 21 located outside the working box 1 is externally connected to a blower. Furthermore, too many ventilation holes 22.1 may cause the airflow to be concentrated near certain areas while the airflow is sparse in other areas. Therefore, an appropriate amount of ventilation holes 22.1 can help maintain a uniform distribution of airflow. The number of ventilation holes 22.1 is 75 to 225, preferably 150. See Figure 5 and Figure 6 The cross-sectional shape of the ventilation hole 22.1 is selected from any one of circular, square or elliptical, preferably circular. The circular ventilation hole 22.1 can reduce edge effects and flow separation, making the airflow more stable. If the cross-sectional shape of the ventilation hole 22.1 is circular, the diameter of the ventilation hole 22.1 is 1.5 to 3.5 cm, preferably 2.5 cm. In a feasible embodiment, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The ventilation holes 22.1 are evenly arranged in a matrix, and the evenly arranged matrix can effectively balance the airflow. The number of rows of the matrix is ​​15 to 25, preferably 20, and the number of columns of the matrix is ​​5 to 10, preferably 7.

[0070] The leaf threshing, re-baking and impurity removal device provided by the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 2 The grabbing mechanism 3 includes a support rod 31 and a first driving member 32 disposed between the side walls of the two working boxes 1 adjacent to the air separation mechanism 2, and a moving box 4 connected to the driving shaft of the first driving member 32. The moving box 4 is provided with a support rod through hole 41, and the support rod through hole 41 is slidably connected to the support rod 31. For illustration, the first driving member 32 drives the moving box 4 to move along the extension direction of the support rod 31, and the support rod 31 can provide the moving box 4 with guidance and support force during movement. Preferably, a support rod 31 is disposed on each side of the first driving member 32. Figure 3 , a second driving member 42 and a manipulator 43 connected to the driving shaft of the second driving member 42 are provided in the inner cavity of the moving box 4, and a through slot 44 is also provided at the bottom of the moving box 4. The working end of the manipulator 43 passes through the through slot 44 and is located outside the through slot 44. The working end of the manipulator 43 can be understood as the working axis in the multi-axis robot arm that is actually responsible for grabbing tobacco leaves. As an illustration, the second driving member 42 drives the manipulator 43 to move along the length direction of the moving box 4. Generally speaking, the driving direction of the first driving member 32 and the driving direction of the second driving member 42 are relatively vertical on the same horizontal plane. The first driving member 32 and the second driving member 42 can be independently selected from any one of a stepper motor, a DC reduction motor or a servo motor, preferably a servo motor with a ball screw. Generally speaking, the length of the moving box 4 can span the first collection box 91, the tobacco collection box 92 and the second collection box 93 to ensure that the manipulator 43 can grab the tobacco leaves and impurities in these three boxes. Further, continue to refer to Figure 2A grabbing mechanism 3 is provided above the first collecting box 91 and above the second collecting box 93, respectively. The grabbing mechanism 3 corresponding to the first collecting box 91 is the first grabbing mechanism 3, and the grabbing mechanism 3 corresponding to the second collecting box 93 is the second grabbing mechanism 3. Generally speaking, the length of the moving box 4 in the first grabbing mechanism 3 can span the first collecting box 91 and the tobacco collecting box 92, and the length of the moving box 4 in the second grabbing mechanism 3 can span the second collecting box 93 and the tobacco collecting box 92. As a supplementary explanation, the manipulator 43 is preferably a small-range manipulator, such as Z-Arm 2442 / XX42 or Z-Arm2442B / XX42B. Although a large-range manipulator can span the first collection box 91, the tobacco collection box 92 and the second collection box 93 solely by its own range, the large-range manipulator is heavy on the one hand, which increases the load burden of the mobile box 4. On the other hand, the large-range manipulator shakes more severely during grasping and lacks stability. However, for lighter objects such as tobacco leaves and impurities, a small-range manipulator has sufficient gripping strength for grasping. Therefore, the manipulator 43 in the present invention is preferably a small-range manipulator, which can reduce the load burden of the mobile box 4 while improving the grasping stability.

[0071] The leaf threshing, re-baking and impurity removal device provided by the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 2 The side wall of the working box 1 where the grabbing mechanism 3 is located is also provided with a box body inlet and outlet 13, and a box door 13.1 is provided on the box body inlet and outlet 13. A plurality of slide rails 14 are provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the working box 1. The bottoms of the first collecting box 91, the tobacco collecting box 92 and the second collecting box 93 are all provided with sliders 15, and the corresponding sliders 15 are slidably connected to the slide rails 14. In addition, the box door 13.1 is selected from any one of a flat door, a sliding door or a folding door. Preferably, the box door 13.1 is a sliding door and is connected to the box body inlet and outlet 13 through a pin. When the impurity removal work is completed, the operator can open the box door 13.1 on the box body inlet and outlet 13, pull the first collecting box 91, the tobacco collection box 92 and the second collecting box 93 out of the working box 1, and dump the impurities in the first collecting box 91 and the second collecting box 93, and recover the tobacco in the tobacco collection box 92, and then push the first collecting box 91, the tobacco collection box 92 and the second collecting box 93 back into the working box 1 along the slide rail 14.

[0072] The leaf threshing, re-baking and impurity removal device provided by the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 4 A filter plate groove 16 is provided on the side wall of the working box 1 corresponding to the air separation mechanism 2, and a filter plate 5 is provided in the filter plate groove 16. Figure 2 and Figure 4The side wall of the filter plate groove 16 is provided with a fixing hole 16.1, and the filter plate 5 is provided with a fixing groove 51 corresponding to the fixing hole 16.1. The filter plate groove 16 is connected to the filter plate 5 through the fixing member 6. Figure 4 The fixing member 6 includes a fixing rod 61 slidably connected to the fixing member through hole 16.1 and the fixing groove 51, a handle 62 is provided on the top of the fixing rod 61, and a ring block 63 is provided on the fixing rod 61 near the fixing groove 51. The fixing member 6 also includes a reset spring 64, which is arranged in the fixing member through hole 16.1 and surrounds the fixing rod 61. As an illustration, the filter plate groove 16 and the filter plate 5 are roughly the same size, so that the filter plate 5 can be first inserted into the filter plate groove 16 before being connected to the filter plate groove 16 through the fixing member 6, which can improve the installation strength of the filter plate groove 16 and the filter plate 5. When removing the filter plate 5, hold the handle 62 and pull the fixing rod 61 outward, pull the bottom of the fixing rod 61 from the fixing groove 51 to the fixing member through hole 16.1, so that the connection between the filter plate 5 and the filter plate groove 16 is disconnected, and then maintain the pulling force and remove the filter plate 5. After the filter plate 5 is removed, the pulling force can be released. When installing the filter plate 5, first hold the handle 62 and pull the fixing rod 61 outward, pull the bottom of the fixing rod 61 into the fixing member through hole 16.1, then maintain the tension and insert the filter plate 5 into the filter groove. Since the annular block 63 will resist the reset spring 64 and compress the reset spring 64 during the process of pulling the fixing rod 61 outward, after inserting the filter plate 5 into the filter groove, you can release the tension, and the reset spring 64 will release the accumulated tension, thereby pushing the annular block 63 to move inward, and the annular block 63 will drive the fixing rod 61 to move outward until the bottom of the fixing rod 61 moves into the fixing groove 51. The present invention can remove dust from tobacco leaves by using the filter plate 5, prevent dust from falling back to the surface of the tobacco leaves, make the tobacco leaves purer, thereby reducing the impact on the final product and improving the overall quality and taste of the tobacco. And after removing the dust, the storage state of the tobacco leaves is more stable, which can reduce problems such as deterioration and mildew, thereby extending the shelf life of the tobacco leaves. At the same time, the fixing member 6 also facilitates the staff to disassemble and clean the filter plate 5, thereby improving the practicability of the device.

[0073] The leaf threshing, re-baking and impurity removal device provided by the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 2 The side wall of the working box 1 where the grabbing mechanism 3 is located is also provided with a baffle (17), and the angle between the baffle 17 and the corresponding side wall of the working box 1 is 30-60°, preferably 45°. The baffle 17 is located below the sorting mechanism and above the grabbing mechanism 3.
