Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tobacco grading tools, specifically relating to a grading auxiliary tool for a tobacco leaf grading table. Background Technology

[0002] Tobacco processing requires different grades of tobacco leaves, a process known in the industry as tobacco leaf grading. Tobacco leaf grading primarily involves classifying and classifying leaves based on their appearance, shape, color, oil content, and part of the plant. Currently, tobacco leaf grading relies heavily on the experience of grading personnel, which limits the selection of personnel. When staff shortages occur, experienced employees must explain procedures to less experienced employees, wasting considerable time. Short explanations are insufficient for less experienced employees to fully grasp the concepts, leading to sorting errors due to forgetfulness and low efficiency. Currently, there is no detailed explanation or reference tool available for less experienced employees. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a tobacco leaf grading table grading auxiliary tool, comprising multiple display frames placed on the grading table, each display frame including a frame body, a sample section, and a label section;

[0004] The frame has a cavity containing a sample section and a labeling section. The frame is transparent to allow visibility of the interior of the cavity. The sample section contains specimens to provide a reference for grading.

[0005] The labeling section includes sample information for annotating the sample.

[0006] The labeling department displays the variety name, shape, part, and color of the specimens, the types of non-tobacco impurities, and sorting precautions. Sorting personnel sort the specimens one by one according to the sample information on the label.

[0007] Furthermore, the frame includes two viewing panels connected to each other with a cavity in between. The viewing panels are equipped with hanging devices so that the frame can be hung on the grading table. The hanging arrangement is more in line with the operator's line of sight. If it is placed on the operating table, it will occupy the tobacco leaf space, and in order not to be blocked by the tobacco leaves, it needs to be placed in an empty position. The sorting personnel will see the inclined surface of the viewing panel. This placement method is very easy to cause glare, making it difficult for the staff to see the contents inside the cavity.

[0008] Furthermore, the sample section includes a specimen placement device and multiple spotlights;

[0009] The specimen placement component is designed to fit the shape of the specimen. The specimen is fixed inside the specimen placement component. The specimen placement component is placed vertically in the cavity so that the specimen and the viewing plate are parallel, making it easier for sorting personnel to observe. If the specimen placement component is placed horizontally, the staff's line of sight will be parallel to the specimen and they will not be able to see the specimen.

[0010] The spotlights are located next to the specimen placement components, and the spotlights are all tilted towards the specimen. Multiple spotlights can be set up to illuminate the specimen together.

[0011] Furthermore, the labeling department includes specimen explanation materials, precaution materials, and non-smoking items;

[0012] The specimen information sheet is fixed next to the specimen, displaying the specimen’s species, shape, and color.

[0013] Both the precautions section and the non-tobacco section are fixed inside the cavity. The precautions section contains precautions for the grading process, and the non-tobacco section contains impurity type labels. This allows sorting personnel to compare the tobacco leaves to be sorted with the specimen and the description on the label to confirm the correctness of the sorted tobacco leaves, greatly reducing the occurrence of inaccurate sorting.

[0014] Furthermore, the viewing panel is a transparent plastic or glass panel, and connecting strips are provided at the edges of the two viewing panels to connect and fix the two viewing panels together.

[0015] Furthermore, the visual panel also includes a magnifying layer, which is attached to the inner or outer wall of the visual panel to magnify the visibility of the items in the cavity and prevent the content of the label from being too small or too dense, making it difficult for sorting personnel to see clearly.

[0016] Furthermore, the specimen placement device includes a transparent mounting bracket with a specimen slot that conforms to the size of the specimen for supporting the specimen.

[0017] Alternatively, the specimen placement device includes two hinged fixing plates that hold the specimen in the middle.

[0018] Furthermore, a spotlight is positioned below the specimen placement component, and the beam of the spotlight shines onto the specimen placement component to increase the transparency of the specimen.

[0019] Furthermore, the specimen explanation package includes a specimen explanation card, the precaution package includes a precaution card, and the non-smoking package includes a non-smoking card. The specimen explanation card, the precaution card, and the non-smoking card are each connected to a card fixing component. The card fixing component includes two hinged card fixing grooves, and the specimen explanation card, the precaution card, and the non-smoking card are respectively fixed between the two card fixing grooves.

[0020] Furthermore, the frame is equipped with an anti-reflective plate, which is located at the top of the frame to prevent external light from visually affecting the specimen.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] (1) This utility model clearly describes the appearance and characteristics of tobacco leaves at each grade, so that sorting personnel with little or no experience can complete the sorting work by referring to the device of this utility model, thus reducing the requirements of employees' experience for sorting work.

[0023] (2) Using the device of this utility model, there is no need for experienced employees to give detailed explanations to new employees, which saves preparation time, makes employees get started faster, and increases work efficiency.

[0024] (3) Using the device of this utility model, both new and old employees can complete the sorting clearly and quickly. By comparing with the specimen, the occurrence of errors is reduced and the accuracy of grading is higher. Attached Figure Description
