Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tobacco, in particular to a heating system of a tobacco drying machine. Background Art
[0002] The heating system of a tobacco drying machine refers to the part used to heat the tobacco to dry or process it. Tobacco drying machines are commonly used in the tobacco industry to make cigarettes and other tobacco products. These heating systems play a key role in the tobacco drying process, ensuring that the tobacco is dried at the appropriate temperature to achieve the desired moisture content and texture. The heating system of existing tobacco drying machines generates heat through resistive heating elements and transfers it to the tobacco, causing it to heat up and evaporate moisture. Or it uses steam as a heat source to transfer heat to the tobacco to dry it.
[0003] The existing tobacco drying machine heating system has problems such as poor heat conduction performance and uneven heat conduction, which leads to energy waste and poor tobacco drying effect. Poor heat conduction performance will cause the temperature in some areas to be too high, while other areas will be at a lower temperature, which means that the heating system needs to invest more energy in some areas to reach the required temperature, while other areas are relatively idle. This uneven heat conduction will lead to energy waste because the system must compensate for the temperature difference with higher energy consumption. Due to the uneven heat conduction, some tobacco may be overheated, while other tobacco may not reach the required degree of dryness. This uneven heat conduction will affect the quality and consistency of the tobacco, resulting in unstable quality of the final product. The heating system cannot effectively transfer heat to every part of the tobacco, and the production process may take longer to complete, affecting the overall production efficiency. Because the heating system cannot ensure that each tobacco is heated and dried to the same extent, the consistency of the final product may be affected. This may lead to consumer dissatisfaction with product quality and affect brand reputation. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a heating system of a wire drying machine mainly includes: a bracket 1, a heating device, a heating box 5 and a main pipe 6. In Example 1 of the present application, the heating device includes a bottom heating device 2, a middle heating device 3, and a top heating device 4. Of course, the present application is not limited to this. Those skilled in the art can select the appropriate number of layers of heating devices according to their needs. The bottom heating device 2 and the middle heating device 3 are respectively provided with a pipe system 8 on the top of the bottom heating device 2, the middle heating device 3, and the top heating device 4. The pipe system 8 is connected to the main pipe 6 respectively.
[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the pipe system 8 includes a head side shunt pipe 81, a tail side confluence pipe 82, a transverse pipe 83, a heat conducting seat 84, a side clamping groove 85 and an upper embedding groove 86. Among them, the bottom layer heating device 2, the middle layer heating device 3 and the top layer heating device 4 respectively include independent external fixing frames, and a plurality of columns are fixedly connected between the bottom layer heating device 2 and the middle layer heating device 3, and between the middle layer heating device 3 and the top layer heating device 4.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, a head side shunt pipe 81 and a tail side collector pipe 82 are installed at the left and right ends of the outer fixed frame of the bottom layer heating device 2, the middle layer heating device 3 or the top layer heating device 4, a series of transverse pipes 83 are connected between the head side shunt pipe 81 and the tail side collector pipe 82 on both sides, and a heat conductive seat 84 is mounted on the adjacent transverse pipes 83.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the heat-conducting seat 84 includes side slots 85 on both sides, and two adjacent transverse tubes 83 are respectively matched and fitted in the side slots 85. A series of upper grooves 86 are arranged on the top of the heat-conducting seat 84. The transverse tubes 83 and the heat-conducting seat 84 are respectively made of heat-conducting materials, preferably copper or aluminum alloy materials.
[0031] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a layer of heat-conducting plate is compounded at the bottom of the placement frame 7, and the heat-conducting plate includes a plate body and a series of heat-conducting plugs 71 evenly distributed at the bottom of the plate body. When the placement frame 7 is assembled to the upper side of the pipe system 8, the heat-conducting plugs 71 are specifically clamped in the upper embedded grooves 86, and the spacing between adjacent heat-conducting plugs 71 is an integer multiple of the spacing between adjacent upper embedded grooves 86. The density of the upper embedded grooves 86 is usually set to be greater than that of the heat-conducting plugs 71, so that the heat-conducting plugs 71 can be selectively inserted into part of the upper embedded grooves 86.
[0032] like Figure 1 In the figure, the main pipe 6 includes an air inlet main pipe and an exhaust main pipe. The air inlet main pipe is connected to the head side shunt pipe 81, and the exhaust main pipe is connected to the tail side confluence pipe 82. The heating box 5 includes a cabinet, a blower and a heating box located in the cabinet, a heating device is arranged in the heating box, and the heating box is a closed structure with a safety exhaust valve installed on the top. The air outlet of the blower is connected to the heating box, and the air outlet of the heating box is connected to the air inlet main pipe, and a thermocouple is installed in the heating box. The controller controls the heating degree and heating timing of the heating device by monitoring the value of the thermocouple. The exhaust main pipe is connected to the air inlet of the blower.
[0033] Based on the above structure, the hot air flow from the heating box enters each transverse row pipe 83 evenly through the head side shunt pipe 81, and then enters the fan circulation system after converging from the tail side converging pipe 82, ensuring that the hot air does not overflow, and the heat energy is efficiently used to heat each transverse row pipe 83. At the same time, since the transverse row pipe 83 has a close contact heat conduction relationship with the corresponding installed heat conduction seat 84, and the upper embedded groove 86 has a close clamping relationship with the heat conduction plug 71 of the placement frame 7, this clamping relationship not only ensures the stability of the placement frame 7, but also effectively transfers the heat energy of the transverse row pipe 83 to the placement frame 7 in a close contact manner, thereby ensuring the baking effect of the tobacco in the placement frame 7.
[0034] The heating system of the silk drying machine of the present application, when in use:
[0035] First, prepare the heating system, including checking the integrity and installation of each component. Make sure that all components of the pipe system are correctly installed on the top of the bottom heating unit, the middle heating unit and the top heating unit, and that the heat conduction plate of the mounting frame has been installed above the pipe system.
[0036] Then, the blower and the heating device in the heating box are started to form a hot air flow in the heating box. The heating device can be adjusted by a controller to set the heating temperature and time as needed.
[0037] When the hot air flow in the heating box reaches the set temperature, the tobacco can be placed in the placement frame. Since the placement frame is tightly connected with the heat-conducting plug in the upper groove of the pipe system, the tobacco will be evenly heated. The hot air flow in the heating box enters the horizontal pipes in the pipe system through the first side shunt pipe, and then quickly transfers heat energy to the placement frame through the heat-conducting seat to ensure that the tobacco is evenly heated.
[0038] Afterwards, the hot air flows back into the heating box through the tail manifold to form a cycle. During the heating process, by monitoring the value of the thermocouple in the heating box, the controller can adjust the working state of the heating device in real time to ensure that the temperature in the heating box remains within the set range, thereby ensuring the baking effect of the tobacco.
[0039] When the tobacco reaches the required degree of baking, the heating device and the blower are turned off to end the heating process. After the system cools down, the baked tobacco can be taken out for subsequent processing or packaging.
[0040] Through the above process, the heating system effectively utilizes heat energy, ensures uniform heating of tobacco, and improves processing efficiency and product quality. At the same time, the stability and ease of operation of the system are also guaranteed, providing users with a convenient use experience.
[0041] Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various choices and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is limited by the claims and their equivalents.
