[0045] The following will be combined with Figures 1 - 3 and further illustrate the technical solution of the present utility model through specific implementation manners.
[0046] Embodiment 1
[0047] The embodiment of the present utility model provides a tobacco processing device for the humidification and feeding of trial-produced cigarette samples with a small flow rate (<200 g / min) in a laboratory. The device includes a base 1, a feeding device 2, a liquid adding device 3, a feeding device 4 and a hot air system 5. The feeding device 2 is arranged on the base 1 and has a feeding port and a discharging port. The liquid adding device 3 is connected to the feeding device 2 and is used to apply moisture or liquid to the materials in the feeding device 2. The feeding device 4 is arranged on the base 1 and is connected to the discharging port of the feeding device 2. The feeding device 4 is used to convey and discharge the materials. The hot air system 5 is provided with a first air outlet 51. The first air outlet 51 is connected to the feeding device 2. The hot air system 5 blows hot air into the feeding device 2 through the first air outlet 51. By means of this tobacco processing device, the processing of small batches of raw materials in the laboratory is satisfied, so that the humidification and feeding processes in sample trial production are controllable, the experimental period is short, the sensory identity between the trial-produced samples and the products in large-scale production is improved, and at the same time, the trial production cost of sample cigarettes is reduced.
[0048] In detail, the material is fed into the feeding device 2 from the feeding port of the feeding device 2, the liquid adding device 3 adds moisture or liquid to the material, and the hot air system 5 serves as a heating heat source, blowing hot air to the material in the feeding device 2 through the first air outlet 51 to heat the material. The use of dual channels for simultaneous feeding and hot air can not only reduce the size of the feeding device 2, but also increase the contact area between the material and the hot air; the moisture or liquid is converted into a liquid-vapor mixture under the action of the hot air, and then the material enters the feeding device 4 from the feeding device 2. The hot air from the first air outlet 51 enters the feeding device 4. Under the action of the hot air, the steam or liquid fully contacts the material, and the moisture or liquid is evenly absorbed by the material, so that the material achieves the purpose of rehumidification or feeding, and is finally transported to the discharge end by the feeding device 4 and discharged. It should be noted that rehumidification is the addition of moisture to the material, and feeding is the addition of liquid to the material.
[0049] In this embodiment, an electromagnetic vibration trough is provided in the feeding device 2, and the material is fed into the electromagnetic vibration trough from the feeding port, and the electromagnetic vibration trough feeds the material into the feeding device 4 from the discharging port, thereby achieving uniform and quantitative feeding.
[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the feeding device 4 includes a support assembly 41, a roller 42, and a driving member. The support assembly 41 is arranged on the base 1, and the roller 42 is arranged horizontally on the support assembly 41. The feed end and the discharge end are arranged on the roller 42. The height of the discharge end is lower than that of the feed end. The feed end is connected to the discharge port of the feeding device 2. The roller 42 is used to transport and discharge the material. The driving member is a motor, which drives the roller 42 to rotate. Specifically, the material enters the roller 42 from the discharge port, and the driving member drives the roller 42 to rotate. The roller 42 causes the material inside to turn over. Under the action of the hot air, the material evenly absorbs moisture or liquid.
[0051] Furthermore, the support assembly 41 includes a feed end support flange and a discharge end support flange. The feed end support flange is used to connect the roller 42 and the feeding device 2, and the discharge end support flange is used to connect the roller 42 and the motor, ensuring that the roller 42 rotates smoothly, and the structure is compact and easy to maintain.
[0052] Optionally, the feed end of the roller 42 is provided with a feed end cap that can support the roller 42. The feed end cap is arranged at the discharge port of the feeding device 2. Furthermore, the position on the feeding device 2 corresponding to the position of the feed end cap is set as a buffer zone, that is, the end of the feeding device 2, about 100 mm in length, is the buffer zone. The material enters the buffer zone through the electromagnetic vibration groove, which can ensure the uniformity of the material entering the roller 42. The discharge end of the roller 42 is connected to the discharge end cap. The discharge end cap adopts an open type and can serve as both a discharge port and a rotation support for the roller 42.
[0053] Optionally, a paddle is provided in the buffer zone to prevent the material from staying in the feeding device 2 for too long. Under the action of the paddle, the material can slowly enter the feeding device 4, ensuring the uniformity of the material entering the feeding device 4.
[0054] Further, as Figure 3 shown, multiple groups of short nails 421 are provided on the inner wall of the drum 42. The multiple groups of short nails 421 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the drum 42, which can assist in lifting the material, making the material rotate along the barrel wall and become evenly loose, thereby making the material absorb water or the liquid evenly. Each group of short nails 421 has multiple short nails 421, and the multiple short nails 421 are distributed at intervals along the axial direction of the drum 42, improving the effect of material rewetting or feeding.
[0055] The tobacco processing equipment further includes a heating device 7. The heating device 7 is arranged outside the drum 42 and is used to heat the drum 42. By increasing the temperature of the barrel wall, the material is heated, making it easier for the material to absorb moisture or the liquid. Optionally, in this embodiment, the heating device 7 is an electromagnetic heater. The heating temperature can be adjusted through the electromagnetic heater, and its structure is simple, the temperature rises quickly, and it is energy-saving and reliable. The electromagnetic heater is a prior art and will not be elaborated here.
[0056] Optionally, in this embodiment, the drum 42 is made of double-layer metal. The inner cylinder is made of stainless steel, and the outer cylinder is made of carbon steel. The heating device 7 is arranged outside the outer cylinder. Adopting a double-metal structure can shorten the heating time, improve the thermal sensitivity, and facilitate temperature control.
[0057] In this embodiment, the liquid adding device 3 includes a dual-medium nozzle, a liquid inlet pipe, a steam pipe, a peristaltic pump, and a water tank or a liquid tank. The dual-medium nozzle penetrates the feeding device 2 and faces the inside of the drum 42. The dual-medium nozzle is respectively connected to the liquid inlet pipe and the steam pipe. The other end of the liquid inlet pipe is connected to the peristaltic pump, and at the same time, the peristaltic pump is connected to the water tank or the liquid tank to provide water or the liquid. Using the peristaltic pump as a booster pump, the accuracy of applying water or the liquid can reach less than 0.1 mL. The other end of the steam pipe is connected to a steam generator to generate steam. By spraying steam while spraying water or the liquid to the material through the dual-medium nozzle, the liquid can be atomized and the temperature and humidity can be increased. The peristaltic pump is a prior art and will not be elaborated here.
[0058] As Figure 2 shown, the hot air system 5 further includes a second air outlet 52. The second air outlet 52 is connected to the discharging end of the feeding device 4, reducing the temperature difference between the feeding port and the discharging end of the material and drying the material at the discharging end to prevent the material from dew condensation, which affects the moisture content or the liquid content of the material. Further, the hot air system 5 includes a fan, a temperature and wind speed detector, and a air volume regulating device. The fan is connected to the air volume regulating device, making the temperature and air volume of the hot air blown out by the hot air system 5 adjustable to meet the conditions of laboratory sample trial production.
[0059] In this embodiment, the tobacco processing apparatus further includes a dehumidification device 6, which is located above the discharge end of the feeder 4 and is used to discharge some of the moist air and hot air within the drum 42 to prevent excessive moist air from condensing into water droplets at the discharge end. Furthermore, the dehumidification device 6 includes a dehumidification duct, a dehumidification fan, and a damper. One end of the dehumidification duct is connected to the discharge end of the feeder 4, the other end of the dehumidification duct is connected to the air inlet of the dehumidification fan, and the air outlet of the dehumidification fan is connected to the damper.
[0060] Optionally, a discharge mask 8 is provided at the discharge end of the tobacco processing equipment, and the discharge mask 8 is provided at the discharge end of the feeding device 4 to prevent dust from the material at the discharge end.
