[0002] Tobacco leaf fermentation is a primary processing method for the cigarette industry to improve product quality, and it is also an extremely important link in cigarette processing. The tobacco leaves harvested in the same year that have not been fermented and alcoholized are called raw tobacco or new tobacco. Tobacco leaves that have not been fermented and alcoholized have various quality defects to varying degrees. For example, new tobacco not only has an unsatisfactory color, but also often has a raw green smell and local miscellaneous smells, bitterness, spiciness, and astringency. In particular, the upper tobacco leaves also have the disadvantages of rough taste and strong irritation. They are not suitable for making cigarettes or other tobacco products. The main reason is that new tobacco contains chemicals that have an adverse effect on the aroma and taste of cigarettes. Therefore, tobacco leaf fermentation technology plays a very important role in tobacco processing. In the process of cigarette production, a good fermentation and alcoholization process can greatly improve the quality of tobacco leaves and improve the quality of cigarettes.

[0025] like Figure 1-6 A tobacco fermentation and alcoholization station for cigars includes a fermentation and alcoholization room 1, wherein the fermentation and alcoholization room 1 is provided with a plurality of material pile seats 2 and a drainage ditch 13 arranged around the material pile seats 2, a sandwich 3 is arranged on the top of the fermentation and alcoholization room 1, a sprinkler is arranged on the sandwich 3, and a heating mechanism matched with the fermentation and alcoholization room 1 is arranged outside the fermentation and alcoholization room 1;

[0033] Embodiment 2:

[0034] like Figure 1-6 The working principle of the utility model is:

[0035] The fermentation and alcoholization room 1 is a relatively closed fermentation space. On the one hand, it is convenient to control the temperature and humidity in the closed space of the fermentation and alcoholization room 1. On the other hand, it reduces the speed of temperature and humidity drop and saves the energy required for adjusting temperature and humidity.

[0036] The function of the boiler 5 in the heating mechanism is to use the hot water or steam generated by the boiler 5 as a heat source to supply heat to the heat exchanger 6, and then heat the environment in the fermentation and alcoholization room 1 through the heat exchanger 6, thereby adjusting and maintaining the temperature in the fermentation and alcoholization room 1, so that the temperature in the fermentation and alcoholization room is always within a temperature range that is conducive to fermentation;

[0037] The function of the water pool 4 is to adjust the temperature of the heat source by mixing the cold water in the water pool 4 with the hot water or steam generated by the boiler 5, so as to avoid the heat source temperature being too high, which would cause the temperature in the fermentation and alcoholization room 1 to be too high. At the same time, it receives the return water from the heat exchanger 6 for circulation, thereby reducing energy consumption.

[0038] The heat exchangers 6 are evenly distributed on the walls around the fermentation and alcoholization room 1. The heat exchangers 6 can evenly heat the fermentation and alcoholization room 1, so that the material piles in various places in the fermentation and alcoholization room 1 can be fermented evenly and quickly.

[0039] Sensors 8 are respectively arranged on the connecting pipe between the boiler 5 and the mixing valve 7, the connecting pipe between the water tank 4 and the mixing valve 7, and the connecting pipe between the mixing valve 7 and the heat exchanger 6, so as to monitor the temperature of the connecting pipe between the boiler 5 and the mixing valve 7, the connecting pipe between the water tank 4 and the mixing valve 7, and the connecting pipe between the mixing valve 7 and the heat exchanger 6 through the sensors 8, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the temperature of the water entering the heat exchanger 6, thereby controlling the heat exchange of the heat exchanger 6 and controlling the temperature in the fermentation and alcoholization room 1;

[0040] Control valves 9 are respectively provided on the connecting pipes between the boiler 5 and the mixing valve 7 and between the water tank 4 and the mixing valve 7, so as to adjust the flow of hot water or steam and cold water through the control valves 9, and then adjust the temperature of the water after the hot water or steam and cold water are mixed, thereby adjusting the temperature of the water entering the heat exchanger 6;

[0041] The boiler 5 and the humidifier 10 in the sprinkler are connected to a part of the air valve 11 through the mixing valve 7 respectively, so that the hot steam generated by the boiler 5 and the cold steam generated by the humidifier 10 are mixed through the mixing valve 7 and then injected into the interlayer 3 of the fermentation and alcoholization room 1. Another part of the air valve 11 is directly connected to the outside so that fresh air can enter the interlayer 3 through the air valve 11. One part of the fan 12 blows air downward to transport the water vapor entering the interlayer 3 after mixing to the fermentation and alcoholization room 1, increase the humidity in the fermentation and alcoholization room 1, and make the humidity in the fermentation and alcoholization room 1 always within a range that is conducive to the fermentation and alcoholization of tobacco leaves. Another part of the fan 12 blows air upward, and the air in the fermentation and alcoholization room 1 is circulated by the fan blowing downward and the fan blowing upward, so that the temperature and humidity in each part of the fermentation and alcoholization room 1 are uniform, so that fermentation is carried out uniformly and quickly;

[0042] A drainage ditch 13 is provided on the ground of the fermentation and alcoholization room 1 between the material pile seats 2, so as to drain the condensed water and the water generated in the fermentation and alcoholization process through the drainage ditch 13.

[0043] The specific processing steps are as follows: the tobacco leaves are stacked on the material pile seat 2 in the fermentation and alcoholization room 1 to form a material pile. When stacking, the tobacco leaves are stacked layer by layer, and after each layer of tobacco leaves is laid flat, water is sprinkled on the surface of the tobacco leaves. After the material pile is formed, the boiler 5 is turned on to heat and generate hot steam, which is transported to the heat exchanger 6 and the interlayer 3 of the heating mechanism respectively, and the water vapor is transported to the interlayer 3 through the humidifier 10. The heat exchanger 6 heats up the air in the fermentation and alcoholization room 1 through heat exchange, and the water vapor entering the interlayer 3 is transported to the fermentation and alcoholization room 1 through the fan 12 to humidify the air in the fermentation and alcoholization room 1. After the temperature and humidity in the fermentation and alcoholization room 1 are raised to a range that is conducive to fermentation, the temperature of the heat exchanger 6 is adjusted by the cold water in the water pool 4, thereby maintaining the temperature in the fermentation and alcoholization room 1. The flow rate of water vapor entering the interlayer 3 from the humidifier 10 and the boiler 5 is controlled by the control valve 9 to maintain the air humidity in the fermentation and alcoholization room 1.

[0044] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the temperature and humidity in the fermentation and aging room are accurately controlled to be constant, the anti-interference ability is strong, and the temperature and humidity regulation is convenient and efficient; the control structure is streamlined, the operation process is simplified, the temperature and humidity control is intuitive and convenient, and excellent fermentation conditions are maintained, which greatly shortens the fermentation and aging cycle and is suitable for large-scale and large-volume cigar tobacco processing; the overall structure of the device is simple and clear, the correlation and coordination are stable and reliable, and it is extremely practical.
