[0002] In the process of tobacco production and processing, tobacco shreds often need to be flavored. Flavors are sent through remote pipelines or extracted on-site and stored in spice tanks, and then pre-filled and flavored. When the spice tank is used up at the current stage, before the next stage of use, the waste liquids such as spices and sewage in the tank need to be emptied through the discharge pipe at the bottom of the spice tank.

[0003] A discharge valve is generally provided on the discharge pipe, and the existing discharge valve is usually opened and closed by manually turning the discharge valve handle. During the manual opening and closing of the discharge valve, the discharge valve may not be closed, but the spices in the next stage have been delivered to the spice tank, resulting in leakage of spices, waste of raw materials and pollution on site. At the same time, in order to save the installation space of the spice tank device as a whole, the existing discharge pipe is generally placed horizontally, so during the discharge of waste liquid, waste liquid may remain in the discharge pipe and affect the purity of the spices in the next stage.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0032] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the discharge mechanism provided in this embodiment is installed on the spice jar to avoid leakage of the spice and ensure the purity of the spice. Specifically, the discharge mechanism includes a discharge assembly and a sensing assembly 200: the discharge assembly includes a discharge hose 110 and a discharge valve 120, the discharge hose 110 is installed at the bottom of the spice jar and communicates with the spice jar, and the discharge valve 120 is connected to the discharge hose 110; the sensing assembly 200 is arranged corresponding to the discharge valve 120, and the sensing assembly 200 includes a sensing member 210 and an indicator member, the sensing member 210 is used to sense the switch state of the discharge valve 120, and the indicator member is connected to the sensing member 210 for communication.

[0033] Since the corresponding discharge valve 120 is provided with a sensing element 210, when the sensing element 210 senses that the discharge valve 120 is in a closed state, the sensing element 210 sends a first signal to the indicator, and the indicator sends a feeding prompt after receiving the first signal, and the operator feeds the material into the spice jar according to the feeding prompt; when the sensing element 210 senses that the valve is in an open state or is not completely closed, the sensing element 210 sends a second signal, and the indicator sends a stop prompt after receiving the second signal, and the operator suspends feeding, pre-filling and other operations into the spice jar according to the stop prompt, and feeds into the spice jar again after the discharge valve 120 is completely closed again, thereby avoiding the situation where the spice leaks due to the valve not being closed. In addition, according to actual needs, the indicator can be set as a sound indicator or a light tube indicator, which can display the current state of the discharge valve 120 by emitting different sound effects and lights.

[0034] Since the discharge hose 110 is a soft tube, when the discharge valve 120 is closed, the discharge hose 110 is lifted upwards, which can reduce the accumulation of spices in the spice jar in the discharge hose 110, thereby improving the utilization rate of the spices in the spice jar. Before the next stage of use, when it is necessary to empty the waste liquid in the spice jar, the discharge valve 120 is opened and the discharge hose 110 is pressed downwards, so that the waste liquid is completely discharged from the spice jar under its own gravity, reducing the residual amount of waste liquid in the previous stage in the spice jar and the discharge hose 110, so as to ensure the purity of the spices in the spice jar in the next stage.

[0035] As a further technical solution, the discharge valve 120 includes a valve body 121 and a handle 122. The handle 122 is connected to a valve core on the valve body 121. The handle 122 is turned to change the on / off state of the discharge valve 120. The sensor 210 senses the handle 122 to confirm the state of the discharge valve 120. The handle 122 is turned to improve the convenience of opening or closing the discharge valve 120, and the stability and convenience of confirming the state of the discharge valve 120 are improved.

[0036] When the sensing element 210 is configured as an angle sensor, the switch state of the discharge valve 120 is confirmed by sensing the rotation angle of the handle 122; specifically, the rotation angle of the handle 122 when the discharge valve 120 is closed is recorded as 0°, and the rotation angle of the handle 122 when the discharge valve 120 is opened is recorded as 90°. When the angle sensor senses that the rotation angle of the handle 122 is between 0°-90°, it is determined that the valve is in an open state; operations such as feeding into the spice jar and pre-filling are temporarily suspended; when the angle sensor senses that the rotation angle of the handle 122 is 90°, it is determined that the valve is in a closed state, and feeding into the spice jar is possible. When the sensing element 210 is set as a position sensor, the spatial position of the handle 122 will change when the discharge valve 120 is opened or closed. The position sensor is set in the area where the handle 122 is located when the discharge valve 120 is closed. When the position sensor senses that the handle 122 is rotated into the area, it is determined that the valve is closed and the spice jar can be fed. Otherwise, feeding into the spice jar, pre-filling, etc. are temporarily suspended. In this embodiment, the sensing element 210 is set as a position sensor, and in order to ensure the accuracy of the sensing, the position sensor is located directly above the area where the handle 122 is located when the discharge valve 120 is closed.

[0037] Preferably, the discharge mechanism further includes an auxiliary component 300, and the induction component 200 further includes an induction connector 220; the auxiliary component 300 includes a driving component 310, which is mounted on the frame, and the output shaft of the driving component 310 is connected to the discharge hose 110, and the induction component 210 is detachably connected to the auxiliary component 300 via the induction connector 220.

[0038] Since the discharge hose 110 is a soft tube, the auxiliary component 300 is connected to the discharge hose 110, which can prevent the discharge hose 110 from falling to the ground, thereby reducing the probability of contamination at the discharge valve 120; at the same time, since the output shaft of the driving member 310 in the auxiliary component 300 is transmission-connected to the discharge hose 110, when lifting or pressing down the discharge hose 110, it is sufficient to start the driving member 310 without manual operation, thereby improving the convenience of operation; since the sensing member 210 can be connected to the auxiliary component 300 through the sensing connector 220, while ensuring the connection stability of the sensing member 210, the sensing member 210 and the discharge component can be synchronously lifted and lowered, further improving the sensing accuracy of the sensing member 210. In addition, since the sensing member 210 is detachably connected, when the specifications of the discharge valve 120 change, the sensing member 210 of the corresponding specifications can be adaptively replaced to ensure that the switch state of the discharge valve 120 can be accurately grasped.

[0039] Further, the sensing connector 220 is configured as an L-shaped member, and the vertical portion of the L-shaped member is connected to the auxiliary component 300, so as to achieve the purpose of connecting the sensing member 210 to the auxiliary component 300; the sensing member 210 is detachably connected to the horizontal portion of the L-shaped member, and the horizontal portion is located directly above the area where the handle 122 is located when the discharge valve 120 is closed, so as to ensure the sensing accuracy of the sensing member 210 while avoiding interference between the sensing member 210 and the auxiliary component 300. In this embodiment, a threaded hole is provided on the horizontal portion, and an external thread is provided on the outer wall of the sensing member 210. The sensing member 210 is inserted into the threaded hole, and the nuts are threadedly connected to the sensing member 210 corresponding to the two sides of the horizontal portion, so as to achieve the connection of the sensing member 210 to the sensing connector 220.

[0040] Preferably, the auxiliary component 300 also includes a first connecting member 320 and a second connecting member 330, the driving member 310 is movably connected to the frame, the second connecting member 330 is connected to the output end of the driving member 310 through the first connecting member 320, and the discharge hose 110 is connected to the second connecting member 330 to ensure that the discharge hose 110 is lifted and lowered as the output shaft is extended and retracted; the sensing connecting member 220 is connected to the first connecting member 320 to ensure that the sensing member 210 and the discharge assembly are lifted and lowered synchronously and to avoid interference between the sensing member 210 and the driving member 310 and the discharge hose 110.

[0041] In addition, the drive member 310 can also be configured to be linked with the discharge valve 120. Specifically, when the sensor senses that the discharge valve 120 is fully opened, the drive member 310 and the discharge valve 120 operate synchronously, the output shaft extends and presses the discharge hose 110 downward, so as to improve the convenience of discharging waste liquid in the spice jar.

[0042] Preferably, a connecting through hole is provided in the middle of the second connecting member 330, the inner diameter of the connecting through hole is equal to the outer diameter of the discharge hose 110, and the middle of the discharge hose 110 is passed through the connecting through hole. The connection between the discharge hose 110 and the auxiliary component 300 is realized by providing the connecting through hole, thereby reducing the connection difficulty; at the same time, since the inner diameter of the connecting through hole is equal to the outer diameter of the discharge hose 110, that is, the side wall of the connecting through hole abuts against the discharge hose 110, the connection effect between the two can be ensured, and the probability of displacement of the discharge hose 110 relative to the second connecting member 330 can be reduced, thereby reducing the lifting and lowering difficulty.

[0043] Furthermore, the auxiliary component 300 further includes a stopper (not shown in the figure), the second connecting member 330 is set in a plate shape, the stopper is set on one side of the second connecting member 330, and is connected to the discharge hose 110 in a limiting manner. The stopper can be set as a flat plate with a limiting through hole, and the stopper is fixedly sleeved on the discharge hose 110 through the limiting through hole. In this embodiment, two stoppers are provided, and the two stoppers are connected to the discharge hose 110 at intervals. When the discharge hose 110 is connected to the connecting through hole, the two stoppers are respectively abutted against the two end surfaces of the second connecting member 330 to limit the relative position of the second connecting member 330 and the discharge hose 110, so as to prevent the discharge hose 110 from shifting relative to the second connecting member 330 when the driving member 310 drives the discharge hose 110 to rise and fall, so as to further reduce the difficulty of lifting and falling.

[0044] Preferably, the auxiliary component 300 further includes a mounting plate 340, through which the driving member 310 is connected to the frame, thereby ensuring the connection stability of the driving member 310 and avoiding interference between the driving member 310 and the fragrance jar during the operation of the driving member 310.

[0045] In order to improve the use flexibility of the discharge mechanism, in some other embodiments, the driving member 310 is connected to the mounting plate 340 through a guide member (not shown in the figure).

[0046] Specifically, the mounting plate 340 is configured as a rectangular plate, and a first guide groove (not shown in the figure) extending along the length direction of the mounting plate 340 is provided on the mounting plate 340, and a first slider is provided on the end face of the guide member close to the mounting plate 340, and the first slider is slidably connected to the first guide groove; a second slider is provided on the end face of the guide member away from the mounting plate 340, and a second guide groove (not shown in the figure) is provided on the side of the driving member 310 close to the mounting plate 340, and the second guide groove extends along the width direction of the mounting plate 340, and the second slider is slidably connected to the second guide groove. When using the discharge mechanism, the spatial position of the discharge valve 120 and the outlet of the discharge valve 120 is changed by changing the relative position of the first slider and the first guide groove, or the relative position of the second slider and the second guide groove, so as to adapt to the discharge of waste liquid in different usage scenarios.

[0047] The spice jar device comprises a spice jar, a frame and a discharge mechanism. The spice jar is arranged on the frame, and a discharge hose 110 in the discharge mechanism is connected with the spice jar.

[0048] Since the spice jar is arranged on the frame, the discharge mechanism is connected to the spice jar and communicates with the spice jar. The frame supports the spice jar to ensure the normal use of the spice jar and reserves an installation position for the discharge mechanism. The discharge mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the spice jar and determines whether to feed into the spice jar by sensing the on-off status of the discharge valve 120, thereby avoiding the leakage of spices and ensuring the purity of the spices in the spice jar in the current state.
