[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of online temperature measurement inside a loosening and conditioning drum, and in particular to an online temperature measurement system for a tobacco loosening and conditioning drum based on RFID passive technology. Background Art
[0002] In the cigarette production process, the loosening and rehydration process has a crucial impact on the quality of tobacco leaves. This process typically involves placing the cut tobacco leaves in a rotating drum, where a lifting plate acts to loosen and fully moisten the leaves. Temperature control is a key parameter for ensuring tobacco leaf quality. However, due to the high temperature and humidity in the semi-enclosed environment of the loosening and rehydration drum, traditional temperature measurement methods (such as thermocouples or infrared thermometers) lack reliable operation. Therefore, a wireless temperature measurement system that can reliably operate within the loosening and rehydration drum is urgently needed.
[0003] Therefore, this application proposes an online temperature measurement system for a tobacco leaf loosening and rehydration drum based on RFID passive technology. Summary of the Invention
