Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of tobacco processing technology, specifically relating to a tobacco aging cabinet with good rust prevention effect. Background Technology

[0002] Tobacco aging refers to a process performed on tobacco leaves after harvesting and curing to remove the raw, unpleasant odors and improve their aroma and flavor. The main purpose of aging is to use mechanisms such as chemical changes, microbial activity, and enzymatic catalysis to make the tobacco leaves more uniform and darker in color, remove impurities that affect flavor, increase aroma compounds, and make the smoking experience smoother. Simultaneously, it reduces moisture content, allowing for more complete combustion.

[0003] Tobacco aging is usually carried out in a tobacco aging cabinet. To ensure the aging environment of the tobacco, the tobacco aging cabinet needs to be cleaned with water after aging. Since the cabinet is usually made of metal, the excessive moisture inside the cabinet after cleaning can easily cause corrosion of the cabinet over time. Severe corrosion may also affect the quality of the tobacco. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a tobacco aging cabinet with good rust prevention effect to solve the technical problem that tobacco aging cabinets are prone to rust in traditional technology.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0006] A tobacco aging cabinet with good rust prevention includes a cabinet body made of metal and hollow inside to form an aging chamber. It also includes a rust-proof part that covers the inner surface of the cabinet body facing the aging chamber to isolate the aging chamber from the cabinet body. The cabinet body includes a bottom plate located at the bottom of the aging chamber. The bottom plate is arranged at an angle and has a flow guide groove at the bottom, which communicates with the outside of the cabinet body.

[0007] The tobacco aging cabinet described in this application also includes the following additional technical features:

[0008] The tobacco aging cabinet also includes a hot air conveying device. The cabinet body has a hot air inlet and a hot air outlet. The hot air conveying device inputs hot air into the aging chamber through the hot air inlet.

[0009] The tobacco aging chamber also includes an oxygen-free gas delivery device, which is capable of delivering oxygen-free gas into the aging chamber to expel oxygen from the aging chamber.

[0010] The cabinet is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The oxygen-free gas delivery device delivers oxygen-free gas into the alcoholization chamber through the air inlet so that the oxygen-containing gas in the alcoholization chamber is discharged through the air outlet.

[0011] The cabinet has a flow passage that communicates with the flow guide groove. A control valve is installed in the flow passage, and the control valve can automatically open or close the flow passage.

[0012] The cabinet includes a side panel connected to the base plate and a top plate located on top of the side panel. The rust-proof part is constructed by applying a zinc-based rust-proof coating to the inner surface of the cabinet.

[0013] The rust-proof part is provided with multiple cathodic protection components at intervals. The cathodic protection components are made of metal materials and the metal activity of the cathodic protection components is greater than that of the cabinet body.

[0014] An observation window is provided on the side panel, and a transparent observation element is installed in the observation window.

[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this application are as follows:

[0016] 1. The tobacco aging cabinet of this application features a metal body with high structural strength. It contains an aging chamber for aging tobacco, and a rust-proof section is installed between the cabinet body and the aging chamber, completely isolating the chamber from the cabinet body. This prevents moisture in the aging chamber from corroding the cabinet body. Furthermore, the bottom plate of the cabinet is inclined, so any water dripping from the tobacco or remaining after cleaning the cabinet will slide down the bottom plate surface under gravity and flow into a drainage channel, from which it will be discharged from the cabinet body. In this way, on the one hand, the inclined bottom plate and drainage channel effectively drain moisture from the aging chamber, minimizing its moisture content and reducing the probability of corrosion; on the other hand, the rust-proof layer isolates the chamber from the cabinet body, preventing moisture from the chamber from contacting the cabinet body, further enhancing the rust resistance of the tobacco aging cabinet.

[0017] 2. As a preferred embodiment of this application, a hot air conveying device is provided to deliver hot air into the aging chamber. After the tobacco aging cabinet is cleaned, the hot air conveying device is turned on. The hot air generated by the device can evaporate the moisture in the aging cabinet, accelerate the evaporation of moisture, and discharge the hot air carrying high moisture content into the aging chamber through the hot air outlet, thereby reducing the water content in the aging chamber and reducing the risk of corrosion of the tobacco aging cabinet.

[0018] 3. In a preferred embodiment of this application, after the aging process is completed and the aging chamber is cleaned, the oxygen-free gas delivery device delivers oxygen-free gas into the aging chamber. As the content of oxygen-free gas in the aging chamber increases, the air in the aging chamber is continuously squeezed out until the aging chamber is filled with oxygen-free gas. This avoids the corrosion of the cabinet by oxygen and reduces the probability of the cabinet being corroded by oxygen absorption. Attached Figure Description

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a tobacco aging cabinet with good rust prevention effect includes a cabinet body 1, which is made of metal and has a hollow interior to form an aging chamber 2. It also includes a rust-proof part 3, which covers the inner surface of the cabinet body 1 facing the aging chamber 2 to isolate the aging chamber 2 from the cabinet body 1. The cabinet body 1 includes a bottom plate 11 located at the bottom of the aging chamber 2. The bottom plate 11 is arranged at an angle and has a flow guide groove 111 at the bottom, which communicates with the outside of the cabinet body 1.

[0041] The tobacco aging cabinet of this application has a cabinet body 1 made of metal material with high structural strength. Inside, there is an aging chamber 2 for aging tobacco. A rust-proof part 3 is provided between the cabinet body 1 and the aging chamber 2. The rust-proof part 3 completely isolates the aging chamber 2 from the cabinet body 1, thus avoiding the effect of moisture in the aging chamber 2 on the rusting of the cabinet body 1. In addition, the bottom plate 11 of the cabinet body 1 is inclined. In this way, whether it is water dripping from the tobacco or water left after cleaning the cabinet body 1, it will slide down the surface of the bottom plate 11 under the action of gravity and flow into the guide channel 111, and then be discharged out of the cabinet body 1 through the guide channel 111. In this way, on the one hand, by setting the inclined base plate 11 and the guide channel 111, the moisture in the aging chamber 2 is discharged, and the moisture content in the aging chamber 2 is reduced as much as possible, so as to reduce the probability of the cabinet 1 being corroded; on the other hand, by setting the anti-rust layer to isolate the aging chamber 2 from the cabinet 1, the moisture in the aging chamber 2 cannot come into contact with the cabinet 1, further improving the anti-rust performance of the tobacco aging cabinet.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the tobacco aging cabinet also includes a hot air conveying device 4. The cabinet body 1 is provided with a hot air inlet 41 and a hot air outlet 42. The hot air conveying device 4 inputs hot air into the aging chamber 2 through the hot air inlet 41.

[0043] By setting up a hot air conveying device 4 to deliver hot air into the aging chamber 2, after the tobacco aging cabinet is cleaned, the hot air conveying device 4 is turned on. The hot air generated by it can evaporate the moisture in the aging cabinet, accelerate the evaporation of moisture, and discharge the hot air carrying high moisture content into the aging chamber 2 through the hot air outlet 42, so as to reduce the moisture content in the aging chamber 2 and reduce the risk of rust in the tobacco aging cabinet.

[0044] Preferably, the hot air conveying device 4 includes a hot air generating pump and a hot air transmission pipe connected to the outlet of the hot air generating pump. The hot air transmission pipe passes through the hot air inlet 41 and extends into the alcoholization chamber 2.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the tobacco aging cabinet further includes an oxygen-free gas delivery device 5, which delivers oxygen-free gas into the aging chamber 2 to expel oxygen from the chamber. After the aging process is completed and the aging chamber 2 is cleaned, the oxygen-free gas delivery device 5 delivers oxygen-free gas into the aging chamber 2. As the oxygen-free gas content in the aging chamber 2 increases, the air in the aging chamber 2 is continuously squeezed out until the aging chamber 2 is filled with oxygen-free gas. This avoids oxygen corrosion of the cabinet body 1 and reduces the probability of oxygen corrosion of the cabinet body 1.

[0046] This embodiment does not limit the type of oxygen-free gas transported by the oxygen-free gas transport device 5; it can be carbon dioxide, nitrogen, etc.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment of this method, the cabinet 1 has an air inlet 6 and an exhaust outlet 7. The oxygen-free gas delivery device 5 delivers oxygen-free gas into the alcoholization chamber 2 through the air inlet 6 so that the oxygen-containing gas in the alcoholization chamber 2 is discharged through the exhaust outlet 7. By providing the air inlet 6, a delivery channel is provided for the delivery of oxygen-free gas, and by providing the exhaust outlet 7, a discharge channel is provided for the air in the alcoholization chamber 2.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the cabinet 1 is provided with a flow passage 8 communicating with the guide channel 111. A control valve is provided inside the flow passage 8, which can automatically open or close the flow passage 8. By providing the flow passage 8, a channel is provided for water or other liquids in the guide channel 111 to be discharged to the outside of the alcoholization chamber 2, avoiding the large accumulation of water in the alcoholization chamber 2. At the same time, the control valve can prevent water from the outside of the cabinet 1 from entering the alcoholization chamber 2 through the flow passage 8.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the cabinet 1 includes a side panel 12 connected to the bottom plate 11, and an alcohol-curing chamber 2213 located on top of the side panel 12. The rust-proof part 3 is constructed as a zinc-based rust-proof coating applied to the inner surface of the cabinet 1. Specifically, the side panel 12, the alcohol-curing chamber 2213, and the bottom plate 11 of the cabinet 1 are all plate-like structures made of iron, and the rust-proof part 3 is a zinc-based coating structure, which allows the rust-proof part 3 to comprehensively cover the cabinet 1, isolating the alcohol-curing chamber 2 from the cabinet 1, and achieving all-round rust prevention of the cabinet 1 by the rust-proof part 3.

[0050] As a preferred embodiment of this implementation, a plurality of cathodic protection elements 9 are provided at intervals on the rust-proof part 3. The cathodic protection elements 9 are made of metal material and the metal activity of the cathodic protection elements 9 is greater than that of the metal activity of the cabinet 1.

[0051] When the rust-proof part 3 is damaged, exposing the cabinet 1, moisture or moisture-containing air in the curing chamber 2 may cause corrosion to the cabinet 1. However, by installing a cathodic protection element 9, whose metal activity is greater than that of the cabinet 1, and which is connected to the cabinet 1 via the rust-proof part 3 to form a galvanic cell, the cathodic protection element 9 preferentially undergoes oxidation within this cell. This protects the metal, i.e., the cabinet 1, from corrosion. This sacrificial protection mechanism causes the cathodic protection element 9 to gradually wear down, effectively extending the service life of the cabinet 1.

[0052] This embodiment does not limit the type of cathode protection element 9. In a preferred example, it can be a zinc block.

[0053] As a preferred example of this embodiment, an observation window 121 is provided on the side plate 12, and a transparent observation element is installed in the observation window 121. By providing the observation window 121, the user can intuitively observe the specific conditions inside the alcoholization chamber 2 through the transparent observation element, such as the corrosion condition of the cathodic protection element 9. When the cathodic protection element 9 is severely corroded, it needs to be replaced.

[0054] This example does not limit the structural form of the transparent observation component; it can be made of glass, polycarbonate sheets, etc.

[0055] For any parts not mentioned in this application, existing technologies may be used or referenced.

[0056] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments.

[0057] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
