[0034] In the process of manufacturing a cut tobacco dryer, in order to eliminate the influence of the circumferential roundness of the drying cylinder on the central drain pipe and slow down the wear of the sealing element, such as Figures 1-3The utility model provides a center drain pipe structure. The center drain pipe structure comprises a center drain pipe body 1, a first sealing assembly 2 and a second sealing assembly 3.

[0035] The center drain pipe body 1 comprises a water collecting section 11, a corrugated pipe section 12 and a condensed water discharging section 13 connected in sequence, the distance from the corrugated pipe section 12 to the water collecting section 11 is less than the distance from the corrugated pipe section 12 to the condensed water discharging section 13, part of the water collecting section 11 is located at a condensed water recovery end 110 of a steam distributor 100, and the end of the condensed water discharging section 13 extends relative to a steam inlet device 200. The first sealing assembly 2 is sleeved on the water collecting section 11 and is used for sealing between the water collecting section 11 and a steam collecting end 120 of the steam distributor 100. The second sealing assembly 3 is arranged on the condensed water discharging section 13 and is used for sealing between the condensed water discharging section 13 and the steam inlet device 200.

[0036] The first sealing assembly 2 and the second sealing assembly 3 can effectively prevent steam leakage, the corrugated pipe section 12 added in the center drain pipe body 1 can compensate and absorb circumferential circle jumping transmitted in the running process of the cylinder body, so that the influence of the circumferential circle jumping of the drying cylinder on the center drain pipe is eliminated, and the radial error of the entire center drain pipe body 1 in the running process is eliminated, and the sealing wear of the first sealing assembly 2 and the second sealing assembly 3 is reduced.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first sealing assembly 2 comprises a sealing ring 21 sleeved on the water collecting section 11. By arranging the sealing ring 21, the gap between the water collecting section 11 and the steam collecting end 120 of the steam distributor 100 can be effectively blocked, and steam leakage through the gap between the water collecting section 11 and the steam collecting end 120 of the steam distributor 100 is prevented. In the embodiment, the sealing ring 21 can be made of silica gel or rubber, and the sealing effect can be ensured. Since the center drain pipe body 1 rotates synchronously with the steam distributor 100, the center drain pipe body 1 and the steam distributor 100 are relatively stationary, so that the damage to the sealing ring 21 can be reduced.
