Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cigar tobacco processing technology, and in particular, it is a humidification and reduction box for cigar tobacco. Background Technology

[0002] For tobacco leaf humidification and restoration, the current humidification methods used domestically and internationally are manual spraying, high-pressure atomization, and steam rehumidification for cigar wrapper tobacco leaves, and manual soaking and high-pressure atomization for cigar filler tobacco leaves. The main method used is to humidify and restore cigar tobacco leaves using a spray system. However, cigar tobacco leaves do not have a function to adjust and move during the humidification process, which may result in some local areas not being humidified well, affecting the uniformity of humidification.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent document (authorization announcement number CN221355729U) for a tobacco leaf humidification device. The device includes a housing, a transmission mechanism, and a support assembly for supporting the housing. The housing is equipped with a controller and an ultrasonic atomizer. Inside the housing are a heating plate and a temperature sensor, electrically connected to both the temperature sensor and the controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the heating plate. The ultrasonic atomizer has a nozzle located inside the housing. The housing has an inlet and an outlet, with a feeding trough at the inlet. This invention, through the coordinated use of the controller, temperature sensor, and humidity sensor, achieves a constant temperature and humidity environment within the housing, thereby improving the processing resistance of tobacco leaves, enhancing the quality of shredding, and reducing leaf breakage during the shredding process. While a spray system is used to humidify and rejuvenate cigar tobacco leaves, the lack of adjustable movement during humidification may result in uneven humidification in certain areas. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a humidification and restoration box for cigar tobacco leaves to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cigar tobacco humidification and reduction box, comprising:

[0006] The processing box has a rack inside for hanging cigar tobacco leaves, and the bottom wall of the processing box has a slope to facilitate drainage.

[0007] A support plate is installed inside the processing box. The top of the support plate is connected to multiple fixing clips for fixing the hangers. The orientation of the support plate is parallel to the orientation of the inner bottom wall of the processing box. The bottom of the support plate is connected to a vibrator that provides vibration capability to the support plate.

[0008] A lower linear motor is installed on the inner bottom wall of the processing box. The moving part of the lower linear motor is connected to a connecting plate. An upper linear motor is installed on the top of the connecting plate. The moving part of the upper linear motor is connected and fixed to the support plate. The moving direction of the lower linear motor is perpendicular to the moving direction of the upper linear motor.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, multiple sliding plates are welded to the inner bottom wall of the processing box and the bottom end of the support plate. The top and bottom ends of the connecting plate are provided with sliding grooves that are adapted to the sliding plates, and the sliding grooves on both sides are perpendicular to each other.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, multiple atomizing nozzles for humidifying and restoring cigar tobacco leaves are installed on the top of the support plate, the inner top wall of the processing box, and the vertical inner wall of the processing box. A steam generator for supplying steam to the atomizing nozzles is installed on the outer wall of the processing box, and multiple humidity sensors are installed on the inner wall of the processing box.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, a movable door is rotatably connected to one side of the treatment box, a moisture-resistant fan is installed on the side of the treatment box away from the movable door, and a drain pipe with a check valve is embedded in the side of the movable door.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the side of the moisture-resistant fan is connected to a ventilation duct, which is connected to two corrugated pipes, which are detachably connected to a movable door via flanges.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the side of the movable door is provided with a threaded channel corresponding to the flange position, and the threaded channel is threadedly connected to a threaded pipe.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the threaded pipe is threaded with a filter screen for filtering air.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the outer periphery of the treatment box is connected with multiple clamps for fixing the bellows.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This cigar tobacco humidification and reduction chamber allows for the adjustment of the upper and lower linear motors, which indirectly changes the position of the rack and cigar tobacco. The movement direction of the lower linear motor is perpendicular to that of the upper linear motor, enabling multiple position adjustments within a plane. Under fixed humidification, this improves the uniformity of humidification. The operation of the vibrator reduces the time that droplets adhere to the cigar tobacco, ensuring uniform humidification. The inner bottom wall of the processing chamber is sloped, and all structures above it, as well as the cigar tobacco, are in an inclined state, which also greatly reduces the possibility of droplet accumulation.

[0018] This cigar tobacco humidification and reduction chamber, with its movable door, can create a sealed humidification environment, improving the thoroughness of humidification. During this process, a moisture-resistant fan delivers air, which, together with the corrugated pipe, achieves air circulation. This further enhances the thoroughness of humidification without the loss of moisture. Moreover, the ventilation provided by the heat-resistant fan greatly increases the humidification speed. When humidification is complete or dehumidification is required, the flange can be opened and removed, and the corrugated pipe can be rotated to the other side to achieve air exchange inside the chamber.

[0019] This cigar tobacco humidification and restoration box can not only be adjusted, but also circulate humidification, thus improving the uniformity of humidification in multiple ways. Attached Figure Description

[0030] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.

[0032] The connection method can adopt existing methods such as bonding, welding, bolting, etc., depending on the actual needs. Techniques, methods and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail. However, where appropriate, the techniques, methods and equipment should be regarded as part of the specification. The proportions of the components in the drawings are for reference only and can be adjusted to a certain extent according to the actual use.

[0033] This application is for a humidified working environment. Both the treatment box 1 and the movable door 13 are waterproofed and sealed for protection. The internal structure and instruments of the treatment box 1 are also waterproofed and regularly maintained and replaced to ensure long-term operation.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a humidification and reduction chamber for cigar tobacco leaves, in this embodiment, includes:

[0035] The processing box 1 has a rack 2 for hanging cigar tobacco leaves in its inner cavity. The bottom of the rack 2 can also be equipped with pulleys for easy movement, but it is required to ensure that it can be placed stably and upright. The bottom wall of the processing box 1 is provided with a slope to facilitate drainage.

[0036] A support plate 3 is installed inside the processing box 1. Multiple fixing clips 4 for fixing the hanging rack 2 are connected to the top of the support plate 3. Cigar tobacco leaves are tied to the hanging rack 2 in advance, and then the hanging rack 2 is moved to the support plate 3 and fixed with the fixing clips 4. The orientation of the support plate 3 is parallel to the orientation of the inner bottom wall of the processing box 1. A vibrator 5 is connected to the bottom of the support plate 3 to provide vibration capability. The operation of the vibrator 5 reduces the time that droplets adhere to the cigar tobacco leaves. The inner bottom wall of the processing box 1 is set as a slope, and all the structures above it and the cigar tobacco leaves are in an inclined state, which also greatly reduces the possibility of droplet accumulation. With the air supply of the moisture-resistant fan 14, the droplets fall off better.

[0037] A lower linear motor 6 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the processing box 1. The moving part of the lower linear motor 6 is connected to a connecting plate 7. An upper linear motor 8 is installed on the top of the connecting plate 7. The moving part of the upper linear motor 8 is connected and fixed to the support plate 3. The moving direction of the lower linear motor 6 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the upper linear motor 8. During the humidification process, adjusting the upper linear motor 8 and the lower linear motor 6 can indirectly change the position of the hanger 2 and the cigar tobacco leaves, thereby improving the uniformity of humidification.

[0038] To improve stability, multiple sliding plates 9 are welded to the inner bottom wall of the processing box 1 and the bottom of the support plate 3. The top and bottom of the connecting plate 7 are provided with sliding grooves that are adapted to the sliding plates 9. The length of the sliding grooves is greater than the movement distance of the sliding plates 9, and the sliding grooves on both sides are perpendicular to each other.

[0039] Multiple atomizing nozzles 10 for humidifying and restoring cigar tobacco leaves are installed on the top of the support plate 3, the inner top wall of the processing box 1, and the vertical inner wall of the processing box 1. A steam generator 11 is installed on the outer wall of the processing box 1 to provide steam to the atomizing nozzles 10. The steam generator 11 does not emit hot air at 100 degrees Celsius, but water vapor. The temperature is adjustable to meet different usage needs. Multiple humidity sensors 12 are installed on the inner wall of the processing box 1. When the steam generator 11 and the moisture-resistant fan 14 are turned on, the atomizing nozzles 10 spray water vapor into the inner cavity of the processing box 1. The moisture-resistant fan 14 blows air, and together with the corrugated pipe 17, the air is circulated to achieve rapid humidification of the cigar tobacco leaves.

[0040] To facilitate air circulation, a movable door 13 is rotatably connected to one side of the treatment chamber 1. A moisture-resistant fan 14 is installed on the side of the treatment chamber 1 away from the movable door 13. The moisture-resistant fan 14 is a moisture-resistant blower with moisture-resistant and waterproof functions. A drain pipe 15 with a check valve is embedded in the side of the movable door 13. A ventilation hopper 16 is connected to the side of the moisture-resistant fan 14. The ventilation hopper 16 is connected to two corrugated pipes 17. The corrugated pipes 17 are detachably connected to the movable door 13 through flanges 18. When the steam generator 11 and the moisture-resistant fan 14 are turned on, the atomizing nozzle 10 sprays water vapor into the inner cavity of the treatment chamber 1. The moisture-resistant fan 14 delivers air, which, together with the corrugated pipes 17, achieves air circulation and rapid humidification of the cigar tobacco leaves.

[0041] In order to filter the air and avoid affecting the moisture-resistant fan 14, the side of the movable door 13 is provided with a threaded channel corresponding to the position of the flange 18. The threaded channel is threadedly connected to a threaded pipe 19. The inner wall of the threaded pipe 19 is threadedly connected to a filter screen 20 for filtering the air. Multiple clamps 21 for fixing the bellows 17 are connected to the outer periphery of the treatment box 1.

[0042] The vibrator 5, lower linear motor 6, upper linear motor 8, steam generator 11, humidity sensor 12, and moisture-resistant fan 14 are all conventional instruments. Their working principles, dimensions, and models are irrelevant to the problem solved by this application, so they will not be described in detail. The control method of this utility model is through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by a person skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.

[0043] Working principle

[0044] The cigar tobacco humidification and restoration box has cigar tobacco pre-tied on the rack 2, then the rack 2 is moved onto the support plate 3 and fixed with the fixing clip 4. The movable door 13 and the latch are closed, and the steam generator 11 and the moisture-resistant fan 14 are turned on, so that the atomizing nozzle 10 sprays water vapor into the inner cavity of the treatment box 1, and the moisture-resistant fan 14 blows air, which, together with the corrugated pipe 17, realizes the circulation of air and achieves rapid humidification of the cigar tobacco.

[0045] During the humidification process, adjusting the upper linear motor 8 and the lower linear motor 6 can indirectly change the position of the hanger 2 and the cigar tobacco leaves, improving the uniformity of humidification. The operation of the vibrator 5 reduces the time that droplets adhere to the cigar tobacco leaves. The inner bottom wall of the processing box 1 is set as an inclined surface, and all the structures above it and the cigar tobacco leaves are in an inclined state, which also greatly reduces the possibility of droplet accumulation. Combined with the air supply of the moisture-resistant fan 14, the droplets fall off better.
