Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tobacco flavoring technology, and more specifically, to a device, control system, and control method for adjusting the distribution of flavoring substances. Background Technology

[0002] In fields requiring precise flavoring, such as tobacco sheet processing and production, the uniformity and stability of flavoring application directly affect the sensory quality and functional characteristics of the product. In traditional flavoring processes, syringes and droppers are the most widely used flavoring tools, which apply liquid flavoring to the target carrier of tobacco sheets in fixed doses through mechanical or pneumatic methods.

[0003] However, this method has insurmountable technical limitations: From a physical distribution perspective, the liquid dispensing method of the syringe dropper is a "point-drop" process, where liquid fragrance easily forms locally aggregated droplets on the thin sheet surface. Even with subsequent liquid diffusion, it is difficult to eliminate the concentration gradient caused by the uneven initial distribution, resulting in uneven fragrance release and significant differences in fragrance retention time. From a control flexibility perspective, the dosage adjustment of the syringe dropper mainly depends on the tube diameter and dispensing speed, and cannot respond in real-time to the dynamic movement of the carrier (such as strip conveyors in continuous production lines). When the carrier speed fluctuates or there are material differences, the deviation rate of fragrance application is large. Furthermore, for scenarios requiring differentiated fragrance application to multiple areas, traditional syringes require complex mechanical movement, resulting in bulky equipment, low switching efficiency, and difficulty in meeting the demands of high-precision, high-dynamic production. With increasing requirements for consistency in product manufacturing processes, the shortcomings of traditional fragrance application methods in terms of physical distribution uniformity, real-time parameter control, and adaptability to multiple scenarios are becoming increasingly apparent.
