Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a spraying device for cigarette raw materials, in particular to a dual-mode small-sized and high-efficiency flue-cured tobacco leaf surface spraying device. Background Art

[0002] As a leaf-based cash crop, flue-cured tobacco not only requires a certain yield but also places high demands on leaf quality. Yield and quality directly impact the economic benefits and enthusiasm of tobacco growers, and they also guarantee the stability of industrial raw materials. Research to improve tobacco yield and quality is progressing across a variety of approaches, from regulating tobacco plant growth and development with soil nutrients to regulating production and development with foliar spraying. Foliar spraying, due to its rapid and immediate effects, is increasingly being used in tobacco production. For example, problems such as excessive nitrogen absorption leading to slow yellowing during maturity, prolonged growth, accelerated growth, and reduced leaf quality remain common. The reasons for this phenomenon are complex and closely related to field water and fertilizer conditions, as well as ecological conditions. In particular, the upper leaves, which account for 30% to 40% of the total plant yield, are increasingly demanding in terms of maturity and quality as their proportion in cigarette blends increases. Focusing on the more mature products that currently improve the quality of tobacco leaves, especially the maturity of upper tobacco leaves, the main method is foliar spraying. The regulated products are evenly sprayed onto the surface of the tobacco leaves through a sprayer, entering the interior of the leaves through the stomata to promote the transformation of internal substances and achieve the goal of mature tobacco field technology.

[0003] Current devices used for foliar tobacco spraying in the field primarily include knapsack sprayers, self-propelled sprayers, towed sprayers, foggers, agricultural inorganic sprayers, and new environmentally friendly sprayers. Knapsack sprayers, with their reasonable volume and weight, better suit current production practices and field conditions. As essential spraying devices for growers, they enjoy the highest household penetration and widest application compared to other types. However, when using knapsack sprayers for foliar application of controlled products in the field, the large droplet size range (generally between 100 and 400 μm) can lead to uneven application, resulting in uneven chlorosis and yellowing of leaves, resulting in patches of yellow and green. Furthermore, overly large droplets not only impair leaf absorption but can also easily cause sunburn. Experiments have found that uneven leaf color and burns can lead to large areas of color variation in tobacco leaves after curing, which not only fails to improve tobacco quality but actually degrades it. Tests have shown that these controlled spray products require high droplet size uniformity, which is difficult to achieve with current knapsack sprayers. Furthermore, a full knapsack sprayer places a heavy load on the operator. Field operations require spraying a single leaf in at least four directions: upward, diagonally, and downward. For controlled spray applications, even higher uniformity is required, resulting in increased labor intensity and lengthy operations.

[0004] Currently, the types of machinery used to reduce labor intensity include self-propelled and towed sprayers, primarily mobile plant protection sprayers. These large sprayers are suitable for large-scale operations, but lack operational flexibility. Their large size reduces the spacing between tobacco plants in tobacco fields, especially in the later stages of growth and development, leading to high levels of mechanical damage to leaves during field operations. This makes them less suitable for smaller plots. Intelligent spraying devices can replace manual labor, but the high production and maintenance costs of these devices currently hinder their widespread adoption in production.

[0005] Existing research on optimizing droplet size primarily focuses on optimizing nozzles and installing intelligent control systems. Among these, Chinese patent publication number CN218360031U proposes a plant protection fogger nozzle that generates rotation through spiral blades inside the nozzle, mixing the fog and liquid pesticide before outputting it. It utilizes multiple spherical nozzles, which can be adjusted through 360-degree rotation to achieve uniform multi-directional pesticide spraying, addressing the uneven coverage problem of one-way nozzles. Patent application publication number CN221183241U proposes an oscillating, self-rotating spraying device. This device incorporates a water tank within a fixed box, with oscillating head assemblies mounted on each tank, primarily for automatically adjusting the spray angle and range. Patent publication number CN111346751A proposes a magnetoelectric, low-voltage, electrostatic ultrasonic atomizing nozzle. By integrating ultrasonic atomization, electrostatic adsorption, and magnetization technologies, it addresses the issues of traditional spray liquid migration and low adhesion, making it suitable for high-pole operations in fields and orchards.

[0006] The above-mentioned types of spray devices only solve the current problem of uneven foliage spraying from a single perspective, but their defects are also obvious: machines with better atomization effects are relatively large in size and heavy in weight, and need to be loaded or towed for operation. They have high space requirements for field operations and are more suitable for large-scale tobacco field operations; while small and convenient operation machines, especially the currently commonly used backpack spray devices, are affected by performance and the spray effect does not meet the technical standard requirements.

The rotary driving assembly can be placed in the lower space 18 of the liquid tank 2. The lower space 18 is independent of the liquid containing cavity 16 above. The diaphragm pump 3 and the buffer tank 12 are installed on the front side of the front baffle 9 of the support mobile frame 1. The diaphragm pump 3 is a 12V brushless motor pump, with a flow rate of ≥500mL / min and an outlet pressure of 0.52MPa.

In addition to being suitable for precise spraying on the surface of flue-cured tobacco, especially the upper leaves, it is also easily applicable to foliar regulation of other crops and greenhouse environments. The outlet of the buffer tank 12 is connected to the inlet of the fluid diverter, and the multiple outlets of the fluid diverter are respectively connected to the inlet ends of multiple nozzles 23. Specifically, a pressure gauge interface is provided at the outlet of the buffer tank 12 for installing a pressure gauge. The outlet of the pressure gauge is connected to a high-pressure hose 24 through a pressure-stabilizing valve. The working pressure of the pressure-stabilizing valve is 0.1~0.8MPa. The high-pressure hose 24 passes through the internal channel of the handle operating section 20 of the support rod 19. The end of the high-pressure hose 24 passes through the handle operating section 20 and is connected to the inlet of the fluid diverter.

[0036] The fluid diverter includes a diverter shell 25 and a valve body 26 installed on the support mounting section 21 of the support rod 19. A 3mm thick shock-absorbing silicone gasket is installed between the diverter shell 25 and the handle operating section 20 of the support rod 19. A through diverter cavity is provided inside the separation shell. The diverter cavity is composed of an inlet section, a rectifying section, and a buffer guide section from bottom to top.

[0037] The inlet section consists of an inlet port 27 and a conical diffuser 28. The inlet port 27 is connected to the end of the high-pressure hose 24 and contains a filter. The conical diffuser 28 is a tapered cavity with a larger bottom and smaller top. Its inlet diameter is 50 mm, its length is 15 mm, and its outlet diameter is 35 mm. The rectifier section consists of an inverted conical rectifier 29 and a rectifier outlet chamber 30. The inverted conical rectifier 29 is a conical cavity with a smaller bottom and larger top. A rectifier grille 31 is located at the bottom of the rectifier outlet chamber 30. The grid cell size of the rectifier grille 31 is 3 mm x 3 mm, with a 70% porosity and 1.5 mm rib width. The rectifier grille 31 is snap-fitted to the inner wall of the rectifier outlet chamber 30.

[0038] The buffer guide section includes a conical buffer guide cavity, which is a conical cavity that is larger at the bottom and smaller at the top. Multiple levels of honeycomb guide plates are sequentially spaced from bottom to top within the conical buffer guide cavity, with each level of honeycomb guide plates engaging the inner wall of the conical buffer guide cavity. The cavities between adjacent honeycomb guide plates form buffer cavities at various levels, each of which has a plurality of guide ribs spaced evenly along the circumference of the inner wall. The outer ends of the guide ribs are positioned on the inner wall of the buffer cavity, while the inner ends extend obliquely upward. Multiple guide holes 32 are distributed on each honeycomb guide plate. The number of guide holes 32 on the multi-level honeycomb guide plates decreases from bottom to top, with the guide holes 32 on the topmost honeycomb guide plate being evenly spaced along the circumference of the honeycomb guide plate. The number of guide holes 32 on the topmost honeycomb guide plate is the same as the number of nozzles 23 of the spraying mechanism 4. This embodiment includes three levels of honeycomb guide plates: a primary honeycomb guide plate 33, a secondary honeycomb guide plate 34, and a tertiary honeycomb guide plate 35, forming a primary buffer chamber 57 and a secondary buffer chamber 58. The honeycomb guide plates are made of PPS + 40% glass fiber to meet lightweight requirements. The three-level honeycomb guide plates 35 are all designed as regular hexagonal plates with a thickness of 5 mm. The spacing between the primary honeycomb guide plate 33 and the rectifying grid 31 is ≤ 0.5 mm, and the spacing between adjacent honeycomb guide plates is 10 mm. The guide holes 32 on each honeycomb plate have different apertures and arrangements, forming a tapered channel formed by the three-level honeycomb guide plates 35 connected in series. The guide holes 32 on the first-stage honeycomb guide plate 33 have a diameter of 3.0 ± 0.1 mm and are distributed in three circles: the outermost circle has six holes uniformly distributed along the circumference, the middle circle has 12 holes uniformly distributed along the circumference, and the innermost circle has one hole. The guide holes 32 on the second-stage honeycomb guide plate 34 have a diameter of 2.5 ± 0.1 mm and are distributed in two circles: the inner circle has five holes uniformly distributed along the circumference, and the outer circle has seven holes uniformly distributed along the circumference.

A drain hole is designed in the center of the secondary honeycomb guide plate 34 at the bottom of the secondary buffer chamber 58, and is equipped with a magnetic ball valve. The drain hole is led out of the conical buffer guide chamber through a drain pipe; a 45° inclined hole is set at the top of the side wall of the secondary buffer chamber 58 to discharge bubbles entrained in the fluid.

[0039] The valve body 26 is fixedly installed on the top of the diverter housing 25. A plurality of solenoid valves are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the valve body 26. In this embodiment, there are five solenoid valves, forming a five-way solenoid valve. The inlet of the five-way solenoid valve is sealed and docked with the guide hole 32 on the honeycomb guide plate on the top layer of the buffer guide section in a one-to-one correspondence. The outlet of the five-way solenoid valve is respectively connected to the hose branch 37 through the quick-plug connector 36. The multiple hose branches 37 serve as multiple outlets of the fluid diverter.

[0040] In the fluid diverter, the liquid in the high-pressure hose 24 first enters the conical diffuser 28 through the inlet interface 27. The cross-sectional area of ​​the conical diffuser 28 gradually decreases, reducing the liquid flow rate. The liquid then enters the rectifying section, where the inverted conical rectifying chamber 29 and the rectifying grid 31 balance the flow resistance and turbulence. The liquid then enters the buffer guide section. In the conical buffer guide chamber, the honeycomb guide plate forces the liquid flow direction to change direction. The guide ribs in the two-stage buffer chamber transform the disordered turbulence into a swirl, improving the uniformity of the inflow to the next-stage honeycomb guide plate 33. After passing through the buffer guide section, the liquid flows through the five guide holes 32 on the third-stage honeycomb guide plate 35 into the five solenoid valves in the valve body 26, and then flows out evenly through the five hose branches 37 and into the central hub 38.

The arc surface of the stationary base 44 serves as the inlet end and the chord surface serves as the outlet end.

The two ends of each preliminary reversing flow channel 45 respectively pass through the arc surface and the chord surface of the stationary base 44 and serve as the inlet end and the outlet end. With the middle preliminary reversing flow channel 45 as the reference, the outlet ends of the several preliminary reversing flow channels 45 on both sides are respectively inclined outwardly extended, and the outlet ends of the plurality of preliminary reversing flow channels 45 are on the chord surface of the stationary base 44. Multiple water outlets are evenly spaced along the diameter direction, and the inlet ends of the multiple preliminary reversing flow channels 45 are evenly spaced along the arc surface of the stationary base 44 to form multiple water inlets; a plurality of parallel inlet flow channels 46 are provided on the flange base 43, and the outlet end of the flange base 43 is an arc surface that matches the inlet end of the stationary base 44.

The transition inlet ends of the multiple transition pipes 47 are sealed and docked with the water outlets of the multiple preliminary reversing flow channels 45 on the stationary base 44 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the multiple transition pipes 47 are respectively consistent with the extension direction of the multiple preliminary reversing flow channels 45.

[0044] The conversion section 42 includes a plurality of conversion pipes, each of which is composed of an inlet straight pipe section 48, a curved pipe section 49 and an outlet straight pipe section 50 connected to each other. The inner cavity of the inlet straight pipe section 48 includes a pressure stabilizing section 51, a straight cavity transition section 52, and a diversion section 53 arranged in sequence along the direction of water flow. The pressure stabilizing section 51 and the diversion section 53 are both conical cavities, and the large end of the pressure stabilizing section 51 and the large end of the diversion section 53 are respectively connected to the two ends of the straight cavity transition section 52. A diversion cone 54 is provided in the straight cavity transition section 52 and the diversion section 53. The diversion cone 54 is provided in the diversion cone 53.

[0045] In the central hub 38, the liquid sequentially passes through the stationary portion 40, the transition portion 41, and the conversion portion 42.

Finally, it flows into the five nozzles 23 through the outlet straight pipe sections 50 of the five conversion pipes and is ejected through the five nozzles 23. The five preliminary reversing channels 45 of the stationary portion 40 primarily change the direction of the vertically flowing liquid, then complete the change in direction through the five transition pipes 47 of the transition portion 41. Finally, the five conversion pipes of the conversion portion 42 complete the conversion from vertical to horizontal flow. In each conversion pipe, the inner cavity of the inlet straight pipe section 48 acts as a pressure stabilizer and flow guide to ensure uniform flow velocity during subsequent diversion.

[0046] The working process of the dual-mode small-scale high-efficiency tobacco leaf spraying device provided in this embodiment is as follows: First, the liquid to be sprayed is poured into the liquid container cavity 16 of the liquid tank 2 through the liquid inlet 17, and the impurities are intercepted and preliminarily filtered by the filter screen, and then the liquid cover is closed. Start the rotating stirring mechanism to stir the liquid, start the diaphragm pump 3, and the uniformly mixed liquid is pumped into the buffer tank 12 through the liquid outlet, then enters the high-pressure hose 24 through the pressure stabilizing valve and pressure gauge, enters the fluid flow divider through the high-pressure hose 24, and is evenly distributed to the five hose branch pipes 37, then the five-way liquid is sent to the five nozzles 23 through the central hub 38, the fluid atomization particle size is 150um, and the liquid is evenly distributed to the blade surface to complete the leaf surface spraying process.

[0047] Because of the advantages of freedom and convenience, the backpack type is still the main working mode of the current spraying device, but the liquid particle size sprayed by the current spraying device is too coarse and the uniformity is poor. The embodiment designs a spraying device containing two working modes. The device can be moved and pushed for operation as needed, and can also be used for backpack operation, and at the same time solves the problem of the liquid particle size sprayed by the existing spraying device being too coarse and the uniformity being poor. When the liquid amount in the liquid container cavity 16 of the liquid tank 2 is large and the weight of the device is heavy, the moving and pushing operation can be selected. At this time, the device is moved by pushing the hand-pulled handle 10, and the moving roller 5 is matched to realize the easy, labor-saving, convenient and flexible movement of the device. When the liquid amount in the liquid container cavity 16 of the liquid tank 2 is small and the weight of the device is light, the entire device can be directly backpacked through the two backpack shoulder straps 15 on one side of the liquid tank 2.

[0048] The embodiment improves the commonly used knapsack spraying device in production, retains its convenience features, and first solves the problems of too large atomization particle size range, uneven blade adhesion, poor product absorption and utilization effect, and thus affects the quality of tobacco leaves. Five groups of nozzles 23 are used, each nozzle 23 sprays uniformly, and the droplet size is about 150 um. Around this goal, the diaphragm pump 3 and the buffer tank 12 matched therewith are selected, the fluid diverter is designed, the rotary stirring mechanism is installed at the bottom of the liquid tank 2, the fluid is mixed and then enters the diaphragm pump 3, the pump enters the buffer tank 12 for preliminary regulation and control, then enters the fluid diverter through the pressure stabilizing valve, the fluid is evenly distributed to the five soft pipe branches 37, enters the five nozzles 23 through the central concentrator 38, and completes the fluid atomization spraying process. At the same time, by designing the spraying assembly into a circular arc support pipe 22 and setting five nozzles 23 on the inner side of the circular arc support pipe 22, the fluid ejection surface is expanded, and the operation time is reduced. The semi-circular arc-shaped nozzle head is integrated, which first meets the requirements of the atomization particle size, and the fluid diverter and the central concentrator 38 solve the production requirements of the same spraying amount and droplet size of the five nozzles 23. In addition, in order to reduce the high labor intensity of full tank knapsack operation, the support moving frame 1 is set, so that the device not only provides reinforcement and support for the liquid tank 2, but also adopts a push-pull lightweight design, which can be knapsacked, pushed and pulled for field operation, greatly reduces the labor intensity, and meets the current production habits and field block applicability requirements. Thus, the production purposes of reducing work and cost, improving quality and increasing efficiency are achieved.

[0049] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
