[0042] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 5As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a device for collecting temperature and humidity inside a wire drying drum, comprising a support rod 10, a temperature and humidity sensor 50, and an electrical control box 60. The support rod 10 is disposed within the wire drying drum 20 along its axial direction and comprises a first end 11 and a second end 12. The first end 11 is connected to the end face of the wire drying drum 20 via a bearing 30, while the second end 12 passes through the other end face of the wire drying drum 20 and extends to the outside, where it is secured by a locking member 40. The temperature and humidity sensor 50 is mounted on the support rod 10 and is used to monitor the temperature and humidity inside the wire drying drum 20. The electrical control box 60 is disposed outside the wire drying drum 20 and is in communication with the temperature and humidity sensor 50 via a signal line 70, for receiving temperature and humidity data monitored by the temperature and humidity sensor 50. The temperature and humidity sensor 50 inside the drying drum 20 and the electrical control box 60 outside the drum 20 work together to monitor the temperature and humidity inside the drum 20, providing real-time data support for the tobacco drying process. This allows for precise adjustments to the drying process and improves product quality. In a specific embodiment, the drying drum 20 is 10 meters long, and the support rod 10 is 9.4 meters long. The support rod 10 is made of stainless steel and weighs 6 kg.

[0043] The temperature and humidity sensor 50 is a high-temperature resistant sensor. Its humidity measurement range is 0-100% RH and its temperature range is -70°C-260°C. Its humidity measurement accuracy is ±2% RH (at 20-95% RH and 25°C), and its temperature measurement accuracy is ±0.5°C (at 0-50°C). The sensor operates in an ambient temperature range of -20°C to 85°C and a humidity range of 10-95% RH. Its load capacity is available in current output (≤500Ω) and voltage output (≥10kΩ). It requires a 24V DC power supply (operable within the 15V to 36V DC range). Its response time is ≤2 seconds (at a wind speed of 1m / s). Its long-term stability is ≤0.1°C / year for temperature change and ≤1% RH / year for humidity change. The sensor can be installed in a pipe or on a wall, with M27 x 2 threaded mounting or wall-mounting capabilities. The sensor's housing measures 135 mm x 90 mm x 46 mm and is made of white ABS material, offering excellent high-temperature resistance and durability.

[0044] In this embodiment, the temperature and humidity collection device inside the drying drum comprises a support rod 10, a temperature and humidity sensor 50, and an electrical control box 60. The support rod 10 is positioned axially within the drying drum 20 and comprises a first end 11 and a second end 12. The first end 11 is connected to the end face of the drying drum 20 via a bearing 30, while the second end 12 extends through the other end face of the drying drum 20 and is secured there by a locking member 40. The temperature and humidity sensor 50 is mounted on the support rod 10 and monitors the temperature and humidity inside the drying drum 20. The electrical control box 60 is located outside the drying drum 20 and communicates with the temperature and humidity sensor 50 via a signal line 70, receiving temperature and humidity data from the sensor. This design enables real-time monitoring of the temperature and humidity inside the drying drum 20, effectively tracking changes in the tobacco state and providing real-time data support for adjustments to the tobacco drying process, thereby improving product quality. Furthermore, this design does not affect the normal production operation of the drying drum 20 or its safety functions.

[0045] In some optional embodiments, the fiber drying drum 20 includes a drum body 21, a feed cover 22 and a discharge cover 23 disposed at opposite ends of the drum body 21, and a protective cover 24 disposed at the feed cover 22. The first end 11 is connected to the discharge cover 23 via a bearing 30, and the second end 12 passes through the feed cover 22 and extends to the exterior of the protective cover 24, where it is secured by a locking member 40. It should be further noted that the protective cover 24 is disposed at the feed cover 22, and its aperture is designed to be larger than the diameter of the feed cover 22 to ensure that it does not interfere with the movement of the drum body 21 and the feed cover 22.

[0046] In some optional embodiments, bearing 30 is a center-aligning bearing, with first end 11 connected to the inner race of the center-aligning bearing, and discharge end cap 23 connected to the outer race of the center-aligning bearing. Specifically, the center-aligning bearing is mounted on a stainless steel plate, which is bolted to discharge end cap 23. In this embodiment, bolting the stainless steel plate to discharge end cap 23 facilitates installation and removal, facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0047] In one specific embodiment, the discharge end cap 23 is provided with a connector 231 for connecting to a rotating member. In this embodiment, the rotation of the rotating member drives the discharge end cap 23 to rotate along with it. Due to the design of the aligning bearing, the support rod 10 does not rotate with the rotation of the discharge end cap 23. This structure ensures that the temperature and humidity sensor 50 on the support rod 10 can be stably fixed inside the tobacco drying drum 20, thereby effectively monitoring temperature and humidity changes within the tobacco drying drum 20. In this way, the temperature and humidity sensor 50 can more accurately collect temperature and humidity data within the tobacco drying drum 20, providing reliable data support for optimizing the tobacco drying process.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, the feed end cover 22 is provided with an avoidance hole 221, through which the second end 12 passes. In this embodiment, the provision of the avoidance hole 221 effectively avoids interference between the support rod 10 and the feed end cover 22, so that the support rod 10 does not rotate with the rotation of the feed end cover 22.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, the supporting rod 10 is a hollow structure, and the signal line 70 is disposed in the supporting rod 10 and extends through the second end 12 along the axial direction of the supporting rod 10 to the outside of the drying drum 20 .

[0050] In some other optional embodiments, the signal line 70 is disposed outside the supporting rod 10 and extends along the axial direction of the supporting rod 10 through the avoidance hole 221 to the outside of the drying drum 20. The signal line 70 is fixed to the outer wall of the supporting rod 10.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, the locking member 40 includes a fixing bracket 41 and a connecting bolt. The fixing bracket 41 is positioned on the side of the protective cover 24 away from the feed end cap 22; the connecting bolt is connected between the fixing bracket 41 and the second end 12. In this embodiment, the connecting bolt secures the second end 12 of the load-bearing bar 10 to the fixing bracket 41, facilitating installation and removal, and facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0052] It's worth noting that the fixing bracket 41 is made of stainless steel. The stainless steel is larger than the support rod 10. This effectively supports the drying drum 20 during startup and shutdown, preventing the angular tilting forces generated by the drying drum 20 from directly acting on the support rod 10 and potentially damaging it. Specifically, during shutdown and startup of the drying drum 20, which typically tilts at an angle of 0-30°, the larger stainless steel than the support rod effectively mitigates the angular tilting forces generated during startup and shutdown.

[0053] In some optional embodiments, the number of temperature and humidity sensors 50 is five, and the five temperature and humidity sensors are evenly spaced on the supporting rod 10. In a specific embodiment, the length of the tobacco drying drum 20 is 10 meters, and a temperature and humidity sensor 50 is installed every 2 meters to more comprehensively collect temperature and humidity data inside the tobacco drying drum 20, thereby providing reliable data support for optimizing the tobacco drying process.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, a reinforcing rib 80 is provided below the load bar 10 to effectively prevent deformation of the load bar 10 during use. The specifications of the reinforcing rib 80 are 6m long, 0.4m wide and 0.02m thick.

[0055] In some optional embodiments, the temperature and humidity sensor 50 is mounted on the load-bearing bar 10 via a connecting assembly, which includes a clamp 91, a connecting plate 92, and a connecting hole 93. The clamp 91 is welded to the circumference of the load-bearing bar 10; the connecting plate 92 is welded to the clamp 91; and a connecting hole 93 is provided on the connecting plate 92 for mounting the temperature and humidity sensor 50. The connecting plate 92 is a stainless steel sheet with a size of 50 cm x 50 cm. The connecting assembly in this embodiment includes the clamp 91, the connecting plate 92, and the connecting hole 93. This design reduces the weight acting on the load-bearing bar 10, thereby preventing damage to the load-bearing bar 10 caused by excessive weight.

[0056] The above description of the disclosed embodiments will enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
