Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flue-cured tobacco, in particular to a channel type flue-cured tobacco device. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, tobacco leaf baking has changed from the traditional baking room oven closed door baking method to the industrial dynamic assembly line method. The traditional baking method is to tie the tobacco leaves to bamboo poles or wooden sticks of equal length, and then hang them into the baking room one by one by hand. After the baking room is full, the door of the baking room is closed and the oven is started. According to the baking process curve, the baking temperature rises from low to high. During the climbing process, isothermal and isohumidity are maintained for a predetermined time at several temperature values ​​until the highest process temperature is reached and the baking is completed. The entire baking process takes a week. Industrial assembly line baking uses tobacco loading machinery to hang or load tobacco leaves on the baking tobacco trolley at the loading station. The trolley is full and enters the baking channel along the trolley track. From entering the channel, the tobacco leaves carried by the trolley begin to enter the baking state. The trolley passes through different temperature and humidity areas in the channel. According to the baking process requirements, it stays in each area for a certain period of time until the trolley drives out of the baking channel exit, completing the baking of the tobacco leaves carried by the trolley. The baking curves used in traditional baking and assembly line baking are the same, but traditional baking is done in a static way (changing the temperature and humidity in the baking room according to the baking curve requirements), while assembly line baking is done in a dynamic way (the smoke-carrying trolley passes through different temperature and humidity areas in the baking channel according to the baking curve requirements). Whether the dynamic baking method can strictly follow the baking curve requirements depends on the accurate tracking of the position of the smoke-carrying trolley in the baking channel, and the control of the trolley to move forward or stay is determined based on the position information of the smoke-carrying trolley until the baking is completed and the trolley is driven out of the baking channel.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a channel type tobacco curing device to overcome the above problems. Utility Model Content

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0022] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, a channel-type tobacco-curing device provided in this embodiment includes: a tobacco-curing track 1, a tobacco-carrying trolley 2, a driving mechanism and a tracking mechanism 3.

[0023] The tobacco flue-curing track 1 is arranged in a tobacco flue-curing room, which is divided into different areas according to different tobacco flue-curing requirements, and has different or the same functions, and the tobacco flue-curing track 1 passes through these areas. The driving mechanism drives and connects the tobacco-carrying trolley 2, and is used to drive the tobacco-carrying trolley 2 to move on the tobacco flue-curing track 1, pass through the corresponding functional areas, and perform flue-curing with different requirements.

[0024] Meanwhile, the tracking mechanism 3 includes a controller 31, a radio frequency card reader 32 and a radio frequency card 33. The multiple radio frequency card readers 32 connected to the controller 31 are respectively arranged at different positions on the flue-cured tobacco track 1, and at least one radio frequency card reader 32 is arranged on the flue-cured tobacco track 1 in different functional areas of the flue-cured tobacco room. The radio frequency card 33 is arranged on the tobacco-carrying trolley 2 and records the information data of the tobacco-carrying trolley 2. When the tobacco-carrying trolley 2 moves on the flue-cured tobacco track 1 and passes the corresponding radio frequency card reader 32, the radio frequency card reader 32 reads the information data of the radio frequency card 33 on the tobacco-carrying trolley 2 and transmits it to the controller 31.

[0025] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in order to better and more accurately enable the RF card reader 32 to read the passing RF card 33, the RF card 33 is set at the bottom of the cigarette trolley 2. When the cigarette trolley 2 moves on the tobacco-curing track 1, the RF card 33 passes directly above the RF card reader 32 on the tobacco-curing track 1. At the same time, in order to move the cigarette trolley 2 along the predetermined track and ensure that the RF card reader 32 can accurately read the corresponding RF card 33 and record the moving position of the corresponding cigarette trolley 2, a guide groove 11 extending along the tobacco-curing track 1 is provided on the tobacco-curing track 1, and a moving wheel 21 is provided at the bottom of the cigarette trolley 2. The moving wheel 21 moves in the guide groove 11 without deviation or derailment, which is accurate, efficient, practical and low-cost.

[0026] In order to better monitor the tobacco leaf baking condition on the tobacco-carrying trolley 2, the controller 31 controls the connected driving mechanism, controls the forward speed and residence time of the tobacco-carrying trolley 2 in different areas, and the controller 31 is connected to a display 34, which can monitor the position information of the tobacco-carrying trolley 2 in the tobacco-baking room in real time. At the same time, in order to better bake the tobacco leaves, the tobacco-carrying trolley 2 is provided with a temperature and humidity detection device, which is connected to the controller 31 to detect the temperature and humidity of the environment where the tobacco leaves are located in real time.

[0027] In order to better record and study the tobacco leaf baking conditions, the controller 31 is provided with a data processing unit and a data storage unit, which can compare relevant data in all directions and improve the tobacco leaf baking efficiency and quality.

[0028] In actual use, a radio frequency card 33 is provided on each tobacco-carrying trolley 2, and the radio frequency card 33 records the serial number of the tobacco-carrying trolley 2, tobacco leaf conditions and other information; the driving mechanism is started to drive the tobacco-carrying trolley 2 to move on the tobacco-curing track 1, and the radio frequency card reader 32 in different functional areas reads the radio frequency card 33 information and transmits it to the controller 31, that is, the position information of the tobacco-carrying trolley 2 is tracked and determined, and the position of the tobacco-carrying trolley 2 in the tobacco-curing room channel is obtained, and the corresponding point of the baking curve in the database is compared to control the driving mechanism to drive it to move forward or stay on the tobacco-curing track 1.

[0029] When baking is carried out specifically, the cigarette-carrying trolley 2 enters from the channel entrance along the tobacco-curing track 1, and the first car arrives at the first area. The radio frequency card reader 32 and the radio frequency card 33 are vertically facing each other, and the radio frequency card reader 32 reads the information data of the cigarette-carrying trolley 2 and sends it to the controller 31, which determines the card reader and the specific cigarette-carrying trolley 2 at the specific position. If baking is required for a certain period of time, the cigarette-carrying trolley 2 can be stopped on the tobacco-curing track 1 in the designated channel area, and the stop time of the corresponding channel position at the baking process curve is counted down. When the countdown is zero (the baking of the area is over), the controller 31 controls the drive mechanism to start, drives the cigarette-carrying trolley 2 to move forward in the direction of the exit, and enters the next baking channel area. The radio frequency card reader 32 in the next area senses and reads the radio frequency card 33 code on the cigarette-carrying trolley 2, and as in the first area, it reciprocates in sequence until the countdown of the length of time the cigarette-carrying trolley 2 stays in the last baking channel area is zero. Drive the cigarette-carrying trolley 2 to move out of the channel exit, and complete the whole baking of the tobacco leaves carried by the cigarette-carrying trolley 2. Subsequent smoke-carrying carts 2 also pass through the baking channel in succession like the smoke-carrying cart 2 , forming industrialized assembly line baking; the controller 31 accumulates the time and duration data of each smoke-carrying cart 2 entering the baking channel and passing through each area of ​​the baking channel.

[0030] The device has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can accurately track the baking position information of the tobacco-carrying trolley 2 to ensure the baking efficiency and quality of tobacco leaves, and provides data support for accurate and reliable baking control and baking data traceability, thereby improving the quality of flue-cured tobacco.
