Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tobacco drying rack technology, and more specifically, to a tobacco drying rack. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, tobacco is dried inside a drying room to allow for the drying of a large quantity of tobacco at a time. When placing the tobacco, the drying room needs to be filled with tobacco, so workers need to place the tobacco holders on the racks at the top of the drying room. This requires manual climbing up the racks to place the tobacco, and then removing them after drying.

[0003] The patent with authorization announcement number CN221711187U provides a tobacco drying transfer rack, the structure of which includes a movable base, a first rotating part and a second rotating part. By inserting the two ends of the tobacco clamping strip, which is externally fixed, into the clamping plates on both sides, and then turning the manual bolt to make it rotate in the threaded hole, the tobacco clamping strip is fixed by the clamping plate. Then, the clamping plates on the side plate of the rotating block outside the rotating shaft are all fixed to the tobacco clamping strip.

[0004] While the existing technical solutions described above use the rotation of the main shaft to drive the outer auxiliary support rod, thereby rotating the clamping plate and fixing the tobacco in different positions to avoid manual climbing onto the placement rack in the drying room, the existing tobacco drying racks are mostly one-piece welded structures. This makes it impossible to adjust the spacing between the internal support rods, requiring personnel to use external climbing equipment such as ladders. This makes the loading operation cumbersome, poses safety concerns, and increases the efficiency of loading and unloading. In addition, during the existing tobacco drying process, the tobacco shrinks and breaks, easily causing some tobacco to fall off and resulting in some waste.

[0005] In view of this, we propose a tobacco drying rack. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 An embodiment of the present invention provides a tobacco drying rack, including a drying rack body 110. A first frame 120, a second frame 121 and a third frame 122 are slidably arranged in parallel inside the drying rack body 110. Multiple hanging rods 140 are slidably mounted inside the first frame 120, the second frame 121 and the third frame 122.

[0027] Adjustment component 200 is located on both sides of the drying rack body 110. Adjustment component 200 includes linkage rods 212, the center of which is rotatably connected to both sides of the second frame 121. A first rotating rod 211 is rotatably connected to the upper end of linkage rod 212, and a second rotating rod 213 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of linkage rod 212. The top end of the first rotating rod 211 is connected to the middle of both sides of the first frame 120, and the bottom end of the second rotating rod 213 is rotatably connected to both sides of the middle of the third frame 122. First hydraulic rods 210 are located on both sides of the first frame 120, with their top ends connected to the top of the drying rack body 110. Second hydraulic rods 214 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the third frame 122. Since loading materials onto the upper first frame 120 often requires tools, the structure of adjustment component 200 is designed accordingly. (Reference) Figure 2 The second hydraulic rod 214 and the first hydraulic rod 210 move synchronously, which can drive the linkage rod 212 to rotate. The linkage rod 212 continuously rotates to the horizontal position, which can pull the first frame 120 and the third frame 122 closer to the second frame 121 through the first rotating rod 211 and the second rotating rod 213. This makes the first frame 120, the second frame 121 and the third frame 122 closer to each other, and the distance between them becomes smaller. The position of the first frame 120 will be lowered. Material is first loaded onto the first frame 120. After the first frame 120 is loaded, the first hydraulic rod 210 and the second hydraulic rod 214 are started in reverse, which drives the linkage rod 212 to rotate and increase the distance between the first frame 121 and the third frame 122. Material is then loaded onto the second frame 121 and the third frame 122 in sequence. The operator can hang the tobacco directly without the help of external tools. The operation is simple, the efficiency is improved, and it does not affect the quantity of tobacco dried.

[0028] Furthermore, hooks 142 are evenly and slidably provided at the bottom end of the hanging rod 140, and the hooks 142 suspend and connect the tobacco binding strap. The first frame 120, the second frame 121, and the third frame 122 have symmetrically formed sliding grooves inside. Rectangular sliders 141 are provided at the bottom ends of both sides of the hanging rod 140, and the rectangular sliders 141 are slidably disposed in the sliding grooves. (Reference) Figure 3 Both the hanging rod 140 and the hook 142 can move along the set slide, which can mainly adjust the density and position of tobacco placement, making it more flexible.

[0029] Furthermore, the drying rack body 110 is equipped with four casters 111 at the bottom corners. The casters 111 facilitate the movement of the drying chamber by the drying rack body 110 for drying.

[0030] Furthermore, a storage component 130 is fitted inside the bottom of the drying rack body 110. The storage component 130 includes a collection box 133. Limiting plates 132 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the collection box 133. Ventilation holes 131 are evenly distributed inside the collection box 133. (Reference) Figure 4 During the drying process, tobacco loses a lot of moisture and shrinks and breaks. The collection box 133 mainly collects the fallen tobacco leaves to prevent them from falling directly into the drying chamber, making them dirty and wasting them. The ventilation holes 131 mainly ensure that the fallen tobacco leaves can also be dried evenly and then collected and reused. The limiting plate 132 is mainly used to limit the locking position of the collection box 133, and can also act as a handle to quickly move it out of the drying rack body 110.

[0031] In summary, when using the tobacco drying rack disclosed in this application embodiment, the second hydraulic rod 214 and the first hydraulic rod 210 move synchronously, which can drive the linkage rod 212 to rotate. The linkage rod 212 continuously rotates to the horizontal position, which can pull the first frame 120 and the third frame 122 closer to the second frame 121 through the first rotating rod 211 and the second rotating rod 213. This makes the first frame 120, the second frame 121 and the third frame 122 closer to each other, and the distance between them becomes smaller. The position of the first frame 120 will be lowered. Material is first loaded onto the first frame 120. After the first frame 120 is loaded, the first hydraulic rod 210 and the second hydraulic rod 214 are started in reverse, driving the linkage rod 212 to rotate and widening the distance between the first frame 120 and the third frame 122. Material is then loaded onto the second frame 121 and the third frame 122 in sequence. The operator can hang the tobacco directly without the need for external tools. During the drying process, tobacco loses a lot of moisture and shrinks and breaks. The collection box 133 mainly collects the fallen tobacco leaves to prevent them from falling directly into the drying chamber, which would make them dirty and wasteful. The ventilation holes 131 mainly ensure that the fallen tobacco leaves can also be dried evenly and then collected and reused. The limiting plate 132 is mainly used to limit the locking position of the collection box 133 and can also act as a handle to quickly move it out of the drying rack body 110.
