Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tobacco leaf curing, in particular to a curing device for cigar tobacco leaves. Background Art
[0002] The curing of cigar tobacco leaves refers to the process in which the harvested cigar tobacco leaves gradually dry under natural or artificially controlled temperature, humidity, ventilation and other conditions, and the chemical components of the tobacco leaves change. The purpose of curing is to promote the decomposition of chlorophyll and remove the moisture in the tobacco leaves.
[0003] Curing usually adopts the method of threading tobacco leaves onto poles. Several tobacco leaves are bundled into a bunch, several bunches of tobacco leaves are hung on the drying poles, and then the drying poles are hung on the cross beams of the drying rack. To ensure the curing quality, the distance between two adjacent drying poles should be kept at 20-25 cm. Since the length of the drying pole is greater than the distance between the cross beams of the drying rack, usually a fork pole is needed to tilt one end of the drying pole upward so that the whole drying pole can pass through between the cross beams of the drying rack. At this time, the tobacco leaves will slide to the lower side, resulting in the need to adjust the position of the tobacco leaves after the drying poles are hung. In addition, the distances between the drying poles cannot be guaranteed to be exactly the same, and the difference in distance will lead to differences in curing quality.

[0031] Embodiment 1:
[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , and the present invention details the above technical solutions through the following embodiments:
[0033] A cigar tobacco leaf drying device, comprising:
[0034] A support assembly 1, the support assembly 1 includes a plurality of columns 13, a plurality of cross beams 16 are provided between the columns 13, two adjacent cross beams 16 are parallel to each other, and a drying rod 4 is connected above the cross beam 16 through a positioning assembly 2, and the cross beam 16 is used to bear the weight of the drying rod 4.
[0035] The cross beam 16 is fixedly installed on the side of the column 13 by welding or bolts.
[0036] The bottom end of the column 13 is connected to a base 11 through a socket 12.
[0037] The socket 12 is welded to the base 11. After the bottom end of the upright column 13 is inserted into the socket 12, it is fixed by bolts. The base 11 is used to disperse the weight of the upright column 13, increase the support area and enhance the stability.
[0038] A bottom bracket 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the upright column 13 and above the base 11 through bolts, and a top frame 15 is fixedly installed at the top of the upright column 13 through bolts.
[0039] The bottom bracket 14 and the top frame 15 are used to prevent the upright column 13 from tipping over.
[0040] The positioning component 2 includes a positioning plate 22, and a number of limiting grooves 23 are equidistantly arranged on the positioning plate 22. Both ends of the drying rod 4 are located in the limiting grooves 23, and the limiting grooves 23 are used to limit the distance between the drying rods 4.
[0041] The center distance of the limiting grooves 23 is 25 cm. When both ends of the drying rod 4 are located in the limiting grooves 23, the axle distance between two adjacent drying rods 4 is 25 cm.
[0042] The positioning component 2 further includes a fixing plate 21. The fixing plate 21 is fixedly connected to the cross beam 16 through bolts, and the positioning plate 22 is fixedly installed on both sides of the top surface of the fixing plate 21.
[0043] The width of the fixing plate 21 is smaller than the width of the top surface of the cross beam 16. There are two positioning plates 22, and the two positioning plates 22 are symmetrically welded on both sides of the top surface of the fixing plate 21.
[0044] The left side of the limiting groove 23 is a vertical edge, and the right side of the limiting groove 23 is a sliding inclined surface 24.
[0045] The limiting groove 23 can limit the leftward movement of the drying rod 4, and the sliding inclined surface 24 can facilitate the sliding of the drying rod 4 out of the limiting groove 23 from the right side.
[0046] The movable plate 3 is rotatably installed inside the top of the positioning plate 22. The movable plate 3 includes a lapping plate 31. A cover plate 32 is provided at the head of the lapping plate 31. The head of the left cover plate 32 is in complete contact with the top surface of another adjacent lapping plate 31 on the right side. The middle part of the bottom surface of the lapping plate 31 is rotatably connected to the positioning plate 22 through a rotating element.
[0047] The length of the cover plate 32 is greater than that of the lapping plate 31. Under the action of its own weight, the cover plate 32 rotates downward until it is blocked by the lapping plate 31 on the right side, so as to maintain a horizontal state.
[0048] The rotating element includes a rotating frame 33. The rotating frame 33 is welded and installed in the middle of the bottom surface of the lapping plate 31. The rotating frame 33 is rotatably connected to the positioning plate 22 through a rotating pin 34.
[0049] When one end of the lap joint plate 31 away from the rotating frame 33 is subjected to a downward pressure, it can drive the left end of the lap joint plate 31 to rotate downward, thereby driving the cover plate 32 to rotate upward.
[0050] The top surface of the cover plate 32 is higher than the top surface of the lap joint plate 31, and a counterweight 35 is welded to the bottom of the rightmost cover plate 32.
[0051] The counterweight 35 can ensure that the rightmost cover plate 32 remains horizontal without external force.
[0052] The drying rod 4 includes a rod body 41, and limit rings 42 are threadedly connected to both ends of the rod body 41, and the limit rings 42 are in contact with the inner positioning plates 22.
[0053] The limit rings 42 are used to limit the rod body 41 from moving to both sides.
[0054] In this embodiment, when the operator uses this equipment, the cigar tobacco leaves are tied to the rod body 41 with ropes. The drying rod 4 is horizontally placed on the top surface of the positioning plate 22 from the right end of the positioning plate 22, and it is ensured that the limit ring 42 is in contact with the inner positioning plate 22.
[0055] Push the drying rod 4 to the left, and the drying rod 4 slides leftward along the surface of the positioning plate 22 from right to left.
[0056] During the process that the drying rod 4 slides leftward along the surface of the positioning plate 22 from right to left, it is blocked by the cover plate 32 and thus cannot fall into the right-side limiting groove 23.
[0057] When the drying rod 4 slides to the left end of the leftmost lap joint plate 31, the gravity of the drying rod 4 will drive the left end of the lap joint plate 31 to rotate downward, so that the cover plate 32 connected to the lap joint plate 31 rotates upward, releasing the lap joint plate 31 on the right side, and at the same time the drying rod 4 falls into the leftmost limiting groove 23.
[0058] Place a new drying rod 4 horizontally on the top surface of the positioning plate 22 from the right end of the positioning plate 22 again, and then push the new drying rod 4 to the left. The new drying rod 4 slides leftward along the surface of the positioning plate 22 from right to left.
[0059] When the drying rod 4 slides to the left end of the second lap joint plate 31 from the left, the gravity of the drying rod 4 will drive the left end of the lap joint plate 31 to rotate downward, so that the cover plate 32 connected to the lap joint plate 31 rotates upward, releasing the lap joint plate 31 on the right side of this lap joint plate 31, and at the same time the drying rod 4 falls into the second limiting groove 23 from the left end.
[0060] Repeat the above operations until the drying rod 4 slides into the rightmost limiting groove 23, and by pressing down the leftmost lap joint plate 31, the counterweight 35 is lifted.
[0061] Put a new drying rod 4 on the top surface of another group of positioning plates 22 until there is a drying rod 4 in all the limiting grooves 23.
[0062] When taking out the drying rod 4, push the rightmost drying rod 4 to the right. The drying rod 4 can slide upward and rightward along the sliding inclined surface 24, thereby driving the cover plate 32 to rotate downward until it is horizontal. The drying rod 4 continues to move rightward and then slides out from the right end of the top surface of the positioning plate 22.
[0063] Then push the next adjacent drying rod 4. The drying rod 4 moves rightward, and the cover plate 32 rotates downward until the head of the cover plate 32 abuts against the rightmost overlapping plate 31 and stops rotating. At this time, the cover plate 32 remains horizontal and covers the limiting groove 23, so that the second drying rod 4 can smoothly slide out from the right end of the top surface of the positioning plate 22.
[0064] Repeat the above steps until all the drying rods 4 smoothly slide out from the right end of the top surface of the positioning plate 22.
[0065] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments.
