The nitrogen generator 4 can suck oxygen in the liquid storage chamber 101 through the first connecting pipe 5. With such a configuration, in the actual reconstituted tobacco production process, the nitrogen generator 4 is started, and the oxygen in the liquid storage chamber 101 is sucked through the first connecting pipe 5 to reduce the oxygen content of the air in the liquid storage chamber 101. The oxygen-free environment is used to slow down the reproduction rate of bacteria in the reconstituted tobacco slurry 2, thereby extending the shelf life of the reconstituted tobacco slurry 2, effectively solving the problem of deterioration of the reconstituted tobacco slurry 2 caused by long downtime due to production equipment failure and other reasons, reducing the cost of raw materials and improving subsequent production efficiency. It should be noted that after the oxygen is sucked, the oxygen content of the air in the liquid storage chamber 101 is finally reduced to 2%.

[0032] Optionally, the reconstituted tobacco slurry storage device further includes a steam heating pipe 7, which is arranged inside the tank body 1 and is used to heat the reconstituted tobacco slurry 2. In this arrangement, the temperature of the reconstituted tobacco slurry 2 in the liquid storage chamber 101 is regulated and controlled by steam, so that the bacterial reproduction rate inside the reconstituted tobacco slurry 2 is further slowed down by high temperature on the basis of an oxygen-free environment. It should be noted that the temperature of the reconstituted tobacco slurry 2 is regulated and maintained at 60°C by the steam heating pipe 7.
