Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigar tobacco leaf processing, in particular to a cigar tobacco leaf fermentation box. Background Art

[0002] After drying, cigar tobacco leaves cannot be put into use directly. They need to be fermented and aged to allow the substances in the tobacco leaves to further decompose and react, making the aroma of the tobacco leaves more mellow and delicate, while reducing the odor and irritation.

[0003] In the prior art, stacking fermentation or box fermentation is usually used. Stacking fermentation usually involves stacking tobacco leaves neatly up and down to form a tobacco leaf stack that is 4.5 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and 1.5 meters high. Microorganisms and oxygen are used to carry out natural fermentation, and the tobacco leaves in the large stack are used to increase the center temperature, thereby speeding up the fermentation time. The moisture and ammonia generated during the fermentation process cannot escape from the middle in time. Therefore, when the center temperature reaches about 45 degrees Celsius, the stack is turned over, and the tobacco leaves are taken out from the tobacco leaf stack from top to bottom and stacked again. This process generally needs to be repeated eight to ten times, which is labor-intensive. In addition, the temperature in the center of the stack is poorly controlled, which causes fluctuations in the fermentation effect. Utility Model Content

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] See also Figure 1-5 The present invention describes the above technical solution in detail through the following embodiments:

[0031] A cigar tobacco fermentation box, comprising:

[0032] The stacking rack 1 includes a base plate 11, and a plurality of guide columns 12 are provided on the edge of the top surface of the base plate 11. A stacking plate 13 is slidably installed in the guide column 12. The stacking plate 13 covers the top surface of the base plate 11. The stacking plate 13 is used to separate the stack and the base plate 11. A plurality of dehumidification components 2 are provided through the stacking plate 13 in the center of the base plate 11, and a protective component 3 is provided on the top and outside of the guide column 12.

[0033] The bottom plate 11 can be made of metal, and the guide column 12 is welded to the bottom plate 11. A motion wheel 15 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 11 by screws, and the motion wheel 15 is used for moving and carrying the equipment.

[0034] A guide hole 14 is provided in the center of the stacking plate 13 .

[0035] The tobacco leaves are stacked on the top surface of the stacking plate 13 and arranged around the guide holes 14.

[0036] The stacking plate 13 is made of wood, which can prevent the metallic taste of the bottom plate 11 from affecting the quality of tobacco leaves, and can also absorb some moisture during the fermentation process.

[0037] The dehumidification component 2 includes a central guide tube 21 , which passes through the stacking plate 13 and extends to above the stacking plate 13 . A ventilation hole 22 is provided on the side of the central guide tube 21 . The bottom end of the central guide tube 21 passes through the bottom plate 11 and is connected to an exhaust fan 25 .

[0038] There are three central guide tubes 21, the bottom ends of which are welded to the base plate 11. The outer diameter of the central guide tubes 21 is the same as the inner diameter of the guide holes 14. The stacking plates 13 can slide up and down along the central guide tubes 21, making them easy to replace. Meanwhile, tobacco leaves are stacked on top of the stacking plates 13, surrounding the central guide tubes 21.

[0039] The exhaust fan 25 is used to exhaust air from the central guide tube 21. When the exhaust fan 25 is in operation, it creates a negative pressure inside the central guide tube 21, drawing in outside air through the ventilation holes 22 and then exhausting it from the bottom of the central guide tube 21. Because tobacco leaves are stacked on the top of the stacking plate 13 and around the central guide tube 21, the air exhausted by the exhaust fan 25 consists of waste gases such as ammonia generated by tobacco fermentation, as well as moisture.

[0040] A temperature sensor 23 is fixedly mounted on the middle portion of the inner side of the central guide tube 21 via a bracket.

[0041] The temperature sensor 23 is used to detect the temperature in the center of the stack. When the exhaust fan 25 exhausts, the gas in the center of the stack enters the central guide pipe 21 and passes through the temperature sensor 23. The temperature detected by the temperature sensor 23 is the temperature of the center of the stack.

[0042] A humidity sensor 24 is provided at the bottom of the central guide tube 21 and above the exhaust fan 25 .

[0043] The humidity sensor 24 is used to detect the humidity of the gas discharged by the exhaust fan 25. Because the gas discharged by the exhaust fan 25 is waste gas such as ammonia produced by tobacco fermentation and also contains moisture, the exhaust humidity can reflect the moisture content and fermentation degree of the stack.

[0044] The protective assembly 3 includes a top frame 31, which is slidably mounted on the top of the guide column 12. The bottom surface of the top frame 31 is covered with a top moisture-absorbing cloth 33, and side moisture-absorbing cloths 35 are detachably mounted on the sides of the top frame 31 and the bottom plate 11.

[0045] The top moisture absorbing cloth 33 and the side moisture absorbing cloth 35 can be made of cotton or linen. The top moisture absorbing cloth 33 and the side moisture absorbing cloth 35 are used to absorb the water vapor produced during the stacking fermentation process and prevent external impurities from entering.

[0046] A limiting crossbeam 32 is welded to the middle of the top frame 31 , and the bottom surface of the limiting crossbeam 32 abuts against the top end of the central guide tube 21 through a top moisture-absorbing cloth 33 .

[0047] After the limiting crossbeam 32 abuts against the top end of the central guide tube 21 through the top moisture-absorbing cloth 33, it can limit the downward movement of the top frame 31 and prevent the weight of the top frame 31 from constantly pressing on the tobacco leaves.

[0048] The top and bottom ends of the side moisture-absorbing cloth 35 are wrapped with a winding roller 36 , and the length of the winding roller 36 is greater than the width of the side moisture-absorbing cloth 35 .

[0049] The winding roller 36 can be a metal rod, and the upper and lower winding rollers 36 are parallel to each other.

[0050] The protection assembly 3 further includes a first hook 34 and a second hook 37 , which are fixedly mounted on the top frame 31 and the side of the bottom plate 11 , respectively, and the winding roller 36 is engaged with the first hook 34 and the second hook 37 .

[0051] The first hook 34 is welded to the side of the top frame 31, and the second hook 37 is welded to the side of the bottom plate 11. The winding roller 36, when engaged with the first and second hooks 34 and 37, straightens the side absorbent sheet 35, securing the side absorbent sheet 35. The engagement of the winding roller 36 with the second hook 37 also facilitates monitoring of the fermentation status of the tobacco leaves.

[0052] When the operator of this embodiment uses the device, he piles tobacco leaves on the top surface of the stacking plate 13 and arranges them around the guide holes 14 .

[0053] After the tobacco leaves have been stacked to a predetermined height, the top frame 31 is slid onto the top of the guide column 12, ensuring that the top moisture-absorbing cloth 33 is in contact with the tobacco leaves, compacting the top of the leaves. The top frame 31 stops moving until the bottom surface of the limiting beam 32 contacts the top of the central guide tube 21 through the top moisture-absorbing cloth 33.

[0054] The winding roller 36 is engaged with the first hook 34 and the second hook 37 to fix the side moisture-absorbing cloth 35, and the top moisture-absorbing cloth 33 and the stacking plate 13 are cooperated to wrap the tobacco leaves.

[0055] The exhaust fan 25 is activated to draw air from the central guide tube 21, slowly and continuously discharging the air from the center of the stack. External air enters from the outer edge of the stack, achieving ventilation of the stack. The side and top absorbent sheets 35 and 33 prevent the ingress of dust and other impurities.

[0056] The water vapor and waste gas generated by fermentation in the center of the stack are discharged from the central guide pipe 21, and the temperature and humidity of the center of the stack are detected by the temperature sensor 23 and the humidity sensor 24.

[0057] The exhaust gas and moisture that cannot be discharged from the central guide pipe 21 at the periphery of the stack will escape outward and then be absorbed by the side moisture-absorbing cloth 35 and the top moisture-absorbing cloth 33.

[0058] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely preferred examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present invention.
