Description

[0002] On the cigarette cut tobacco production line, the tobacco after drying will be mixed with stem cuts, air-flow cuts, expanded cuts, thin slices, residual cuts, etc. through various blending scales based on the instantaneous flow rate of the leaf cut main scale and the established proportions required by the process technology. The mixed tobacco after blending enters the main mixing cabinet through auxiliary equipment such as the main mixing belt. After the mixed tobacco enters the cabinet, it will be taken out of the main mixing cabinet and then enter the finished tobacco cabinet after being flavored by the flavoring machine.

[0003] Since the mixed tobacco enters the main mixing cabinet through the mixing belt and auxiliary equipment, the mixing belt and auxiliary equipment do not have the function of fully mixing the blended tobacco, so it is impossible to add a moisture monitoring mechanism to the mixing belt and auxiliary equipment, and it is difficult to monitor the real instantaneous moisture of the mixed tobacco. The subsequent flavoring machine also has no moisture adjustment function. Therefore, how to timely monitor the real instantaneous moisture of the tobacco after mixing on the mixing belt and the real average moisture of the mixed tobacco in the main mixing cabinet, so as to provide a basis for the moisture adjustment of the tobacco drying machine, and then meet the moisture process technical standard requirements of the flavoring machine for tobacco exported, has become one of the key issues of concern to the silk production line.

[0032] The present invention proposes an embodiment of an online monitoring system for moisture content of mixed tobacco after blending. Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a moisture meter 18 for the main leaf scale 5, a first moisture meter 8 for the first blending scale 7, a second moisture meter 14 for the second blending scale 15, and a third moisture meter 16 for the third blending scale 17;

[0033] The four moisture meters mentioned above can be QBTM900 moisture meters, which are used to detect the instantaneous moisture content of the tobacco on the main cut tobacco scale 5 and the corresponding blending scale (and thus obtain the average instantaneous moisture content of the material). The factory MES system scans and reads all data every T seconds (for example, 6 seconds). In other words, the factory MES system reads the following four sets of dynamic parameters at a predetermined time period:

[0034] (1) The instantaneous cumulative amount of material ∑0, the instantaneous flow rate Qn0 of the material provided by the main scale 5, and the instantaneous moisture content M of the moisture meter 18 of the main scale t0 , and the average instantaneous moisture content of the material M μ0 ;

[0035] (2) The instantaneous cumulative amount of material ∑1, the instantaneous flow rate Qn1 of the material provided by the first blending scale 7, and the instantaneous moisture content M of the material provided by the first moisture meter 8 t1 , and the average instantaneous moisture content of the material M μ1 ;

[0036] (3) The instantaneous cumulative amount of material ∑2, the instantaneous flow rate Qn2 of the material provided by the second blending scale 15, and the instantaneous moisture content M of the material provided by the second moisture meter 14 t2 , average instantaneous moisture content of the material M μ2 ;

[0037] (4) The instantaneous cumulative amount of material ∑3, the instantaneous flow rate Qn3 of the material provided by the third blending scale 17, and the instantaneous moisture content M of the material provided by the third moisture meter 16 t3 , average instantaneous moisture content of the material M μ3 ;

[0038] MES can store the above-mentioned data in the corresponding database and simultaneously push the read values ​​to the IFIX operation desktop.

[0039] By using the above four sets of parameters, the online monitoring system provided by the present invention can set the outlet moisture setting value of the tofu drying machine 1 in the previous process in the reverse direction of the post-drying mixing production line in the following manner:

[0040] In advance, in the factory MES system, based on the above indicators, the instantaneous moisture content M of the mixed tobacco entering the main mixing cabinet is established. t , average moisture content M μ The mathematical model is used to calculate the instantaneous moisture content M of the mixed tobacco. t , average moisture content M μ , and you can also t 、M μ The value is pushed to the IFIX operation desktop.

[0041] Specifically, the instantaneous moisture content M of the mixed tobacco entering the main mixing cabinet is established. t :

[0045] The standard moisture requirement after blending and fragrance addition is set to M 标 , and the first fluctuation ratio (tolerance of the standard value) can be ±0.5% (it should be pointed out that the influence of the flavoring amount of the flavoring machine on the moisture content is generally negligible), and then according to the instantaneous moisture content M of the mixed tobacco entering the main mixing cabinet t , average moisture content M μ , manually or automatically reverse the moisture setting value M of the dryer outlet of the previous process P , set conditions: First, the average moisture content of the mixed tobacco is M μ Meet M 标 -0.5%≤M μ ≤M 标 +0.5%; secondly, the instantaneous moisture content of the mixed tobacco is continuously monitored during the setting process. tThat is, when setting the moisture value at the outlet of the tobacco drying machine, it is necessary to ensure that the instantaneous moisture content of the mixed tobacco is M t Stable (can be quantitatively examined based on the set second volatility) and ensure the average moisture content M μ It is within the tolerance range of the process standard value after fragrance addition.

[0046] When the above conditions are set manually, they can be monitored based on personnel experience. For automatic setting, it can be supplemented that the moisture setting value M of the dryer outlet can be established in the factory MES system in advance. P Mathematical model M P = M p0 +(M 标 -M μ ), where M p0 is the initial setting value of the moisture meter 19 at the outlet of the silk drying machine, which is used to adjust the moisture at the outlet of the silk drying machine. t 、M μ The value of M makes the average moisture of the mixed tobacco entering the total mixing cabinet μ Meet M 标 -0.5%≤M μ ≤M 标 +0.5%, and the instantaneous moisture content of the mixed tobacco is M t In a stable state.

[0047] Finally, it can be supplemented that the moisture loss value M of the dried tobacco caused by the air separation device 3 during the air separation of the tobacco leaves can be preset based on expert knowledge. 损 , and accordingly set the reverse M P To compensate, for example, modify the above model to M P = M p0 +(M 标 -M μ )+M 损 .

[0048] To sum up, the main design concept of the present invention is to use the moisture meters installed on the main scale of leaf shreds and each blending scale to detect the instantaneous moisture value of each blended tobacco and calculate the instantaneous moisture average through the moisture meters, and then combine the set flow, instantaneous flow, cumulative flow of the main scale of leaf shreds and the set flow, instantaneous flow, cumulative flow and other parameters of the proportional blending of each blending scale to establish the instantaneous and average moisture value mathematical model of the mixed tobacco shreds after blending and calculate the instantaneous value and average value of the moisture value of the mixed tobacco shreds. After comparing with the established process standard value after flavoring, it reacts to the setting of the moisture meter at the drying outlet, so as to timely adjust the moisture value at the outlet of the drying machine to achieve the moisture content of the mixed tobacco entering the mixing cabinet after blending meeting the process technical standard requirements.
