[0029] As Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, a head cover for a belt conveyor according to an embodiment of the present invention can be installed at the loose re-moistening outlet, and on equipment such as leaf drying drums and blending rooms. The head cover 200 is located above the conveyor belt 100 used for conveying materials between these devices. The material conveyed by the conveyor belt 100 is tobacco shreds. The conveyor belt 100 can be installed and arranged via a frame 101. An actuator 102 consisting of a motor and a reducer can be installed on the frame 101 to drive the conveyor belt 100. The head cover 200 includes a cover body 201. One end of the cover body 201 is provided with a material outlet 204, and the other end of the cover body 201 is provided with a curtain 202. The curtain 202 serves to seal the head cover 200, but allows tobacco shreds to pass through when the conveyor belt 100 conveys tobacco shreds. The outer edge of the feed inlet 204 is provided with a mounting wall 205, which has screw holes for mounting and fixing, for mounting the cover 201 onto a designated device; the designated device may be a blade drying drum. The top wall of the cover 201 has a notch, at which a ventilation mesh plate 203 is installed. The mesh plate 203 has an array of holes with a diameter of 5mm and a spacing of 20mm; see [reference needed]. Figure 6 An air curtain generating structure 300 is installed inside the top wall of the cover 201 near the end of the baffle curtain 202. The air curtain generating structure 300 is connected to an air source that supplies gas to it. The gas supplied to the air curtain generating structure 300 is blown toward the bottom of the cover 201 to form an air curtain. The air curtain can seal the internal space of the cover 201 near the material inlet 204, reducing the heat loss of the blade drying drum connected to the cover 201; and it can also help enhance the sealing effect of the baffle curtain 202.
[0030] In this embodiment, the machine head cover 200 can also be welded to the loose moisture outlet or the blending room via the mounting wall 205. The air curtain generating structure 300 of this embodiment includes a channel pipe 301 and an air distribution pipe 302, with the air distribution pipe 302 connecting the channel pipe 301 and an air source. The channel pipe 301 has air curtain nozzles along its length, with the air jet direction parallel to the baffle 202 and facing the bottom of the cover 201. The air distribution pipe 302 primarily serves to deliver air to the channel pipe 301 more evenly. Air permeability is achieved through the holes in the mesh plate 203, preventing condensation and ensuring the material's moisture content is maintained. Simultaneously, the air curtain generated by the channel pipe 301 reduces the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cover 201. This improved structure is inexpensive and effective. The curtain 202 can maintain the relative airtightness of the machine head cover 200. Combined with the set groove tube 301, a dense air curtain is formed on the inside of the curtain 202, which also plays a sealing role. This can further prevent heat exchange between the inside and outside of the cover 201, thus saving energy and increasing efficiency.
[0031] In fact, the cover 201 of the embodiment is a rectangular frame, the bottom of which is provided as a bottomless frame; two sides of the rectangular frame are provided as openings, and a curtain 202 is installed at one opening, and the other opening serves as a material passing opening 204.

The foreign matter on the curtain 202 is the tobacco that is adhered to the curtain 202 during conveying. The rotating blowing member 306 of the embodiment rotates ninety degrees back and forth to blow off the curtain 202; it can reduce the possibility of the curtain 202 being adhered by the material, improve the ability of the mouth cover 200 to operate stably for a long time, and improve the stability and efficiency of the conveying; and the rotating blowing member 306 can fully utilize the gas supply of the gas curtain generating structure 300, and the consistency of the power source is high.
