[0020] Various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description of the exemplary embodiments is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present disclosure, its application, or use. The present disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are provided to make the present disclosure thorough and complete and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of parts and steps, the composition of materials, numerical expressions, and numerical values set forth in these embodiments should be interpreted as being merely exemplary and not as limiting.

[0021] The terms "first," "second," and similar terms used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are simply used to distinguish different parts. Terms such as "include" or "comprising" mean that the elements preceding the term include the elements listed after the term, and do not exclude the possibility of also including other elements.

[0022] In the present disclosure, when a specific component is described as being located between a first component and a second component, there may or may not be an intervening component between the specific component and the first component or the second component. When a specific component is described as being connected to another component, the specific component may be directly connected to the other component without an intervening component, or may not be directly connected to the other component but have an intervening component.

[0023] All terms (including technical or scientific terms) used in this disclosure have the same meaning as those understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs, unless otherwise specifically defined. It should also be understood that terms defined in, for example, general dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant technology, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or highly formal sense, unless explicitly defined herein.

[0024] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the stem cooling device provided in this embodiment includes: two support rods 1, the top ends of the two support rods 1 are connected by a support cross bar 2, the two sides of the support cross bar 2 are rotatably connected with support rocker arms 5, the ends of the two support rocker arms 5 are connected by a hollow support plate 3, the hollow support plate 3 is connected with an air inlet pipe for introducing compressed air, a plurality of through holes are opened on the hollow support plate 3, one end of each through hole is provided with an end cover 6, and the other end of each through hole is used to spray compressed air onto the surface of the stem.

[0026] The stem cooling device is installed on the belt conveyor at the discharge end of the stem pressing process. Specifically, the two support rods 1 are welded to the side panels on both sides of the belt conveyor. This does not affect the operation of the belt conveyor while ensuring the stability of the device, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the stems and ensuring the process quality of the next process.

[0027] Furthermore, the two support rods 1 are arranged in a vertical direction, and the support cross bar 2 is arranged in a horizontal direction.

[0028] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the hollow support plate 3 has an air inlet 7 at one end away from the end cap 6. The air inlet pipe 4 is inserted into the air inlet 7 to allow compressed air to enter. In one embodiment of the present invention, the air inlet 7 is located between two through holes (end cap 6) near one side edge of the hollow support plate 3. It should be noted that the position of the air inlet 7 is not specifically limited in the present invention.

[0029] Furthermore, the two support swing arms 5 are arranged in parallel and perpendicular to the support crossbar 2. Furthermore, the angle between the two support swing arms 5 and the conveying direction of the belt conveyor is 30°-60°, for example, 45°. It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any specific limitation on the angle between the support swing arms 5 and the conveying direction of the belt conveyor. In a specific implementation, the two support swing arms 5 can be adjusted to a desired angle and then fastened to the support crossbar 2.

[0030] Furthermore, the hollow support plate 3 is parallel to the support cross bar 2. In one embodiment of the present invention, both ends of the hollow support plate 3 are welded to the ends of the two support rocker rods 5, respectively.

[0031] Furthermore, the number of each of the end caps 6 and the through-holes is five, and they are evenly distributed on the hollow support plate 3. It should be noted that the present invention does not specifically limit the number and distribution of the end caps 6 and through-holes. The rear end of the hollow support plate 3 is connected to the air inlet pipe 4. The upper half of the five through-holes on the hollow support plate 3 is sealed by the end caps 6, and the lower half of the through-holes ensures smooth injection of compressed air. During production, the compressed air can be kept on to achieve the purpose of cooling the stems. The angle of the support rocker arm can also be adjusted at any time to improve the cooling effect of the injection.

[0032] During operation, when discharging the material from the stem pressing process, the valve of the air inlet pipe 4 is controlled to be in a normally open state. The stem material is conveyed forward along the conveyor belt, and compressed air enters the hollow support plate 3 through the air inlet pipe 4. The compressed air is then sprayed onto the surface of the stem material from the five through-holes. The five through-holes divide one portion of compressed air into five portions. Under the action of the compressed air spray, the material temperature is reduced to a certain extent, reducing the material breakage in the next shredding process. In addition, the compressed air blows away the water droplets attached to the material, which has a certain effect of reducing the moisture content of the material. The utility model can effectively reduce the temperature of the material discharged from the stem pressing process, while also improving the problem of excessively high moisture content in the material, thereby improving the process quality of the next process.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, if the cooling effect of one stem cooling device still does not meet the process quality index, multiple stem cooling devices can be repeatedly installed at the discharge end of the stem pressing process to ensure the cooling effect of the stem.

[0034] The stem slice cooling device provided by the embodiment of the present invention utilizes compressed air to blow the stem slices at a preset angle. Under the rapid and uniform blowing of the compressed air, the temperature of the material is reduced and excess moisture on the surface of the material is blown away, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the stem slices and separating a certain amount of moisture, which is beneficial to the stable process quality of the next process.

[0035] Thus far, various embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail.

Based on the above description, those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein.
