Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco curing technology, and in particular to a tobacco curing weighing device and a tobacco curing room. Background Technology

[0002] Flue-cured tobacco is the main raw material for the cigarette industry. Flue-cured tobacco leaves are relatively large, and after curing, the leaves are mostly orange-yellow or lemon-yellow in color, with a bright luster. They are of moderate thickness, with the middle leaves being of the highest quality. Flue-cured tobacco has a high sugar content, relatively low total nitrogen and protein content, and a moderate nicotine content.

[0003] Tobacco curing involves placing mature tobacco leaves in a curing room equipped with hot air pipes, where suitable temperature and humidity conditions are artificially provided to continuously dehydrate and dry the tobacco leaves.

[0004] During tobacco curing, heating too quickly or too slowly will prevent the tobacco leaves from fully yellowing and dehydrating. For example, if the temperature rises too rapidly, the tobacco leaves will dehydrate too quickly, resulting in surface yellowing but insufficient yellowing of the deeper tissues. To avoid heating too quickly or too slowly, the traditional method involves operators controlling the curing time based on their personal experience. This method has significant limitations and makes it difficult to promptly obtain changes in the moisture content of the tobacco leaves to adjust the temperature and humidity. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tobacco curing weighing device and a tobacco curing room to solve the problems existing in the prior art. This device facilitates the timely and effective acquisition of the moisture content and dehydration rate of tobacco leaves during the curing process, and also reduces the workload of operators.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a tobacco curing weighing device, including two support devices and at least two tobacco clips. One support device can support one end of each tobacco clip, and the other support device can support the other end of each tobacco clip. The support device includes a fixed frame, a support bracket, a weight sensor, a first pad, and a second pad. The fixed frame is fixedly mounted on the support crossbar of the curing chamber. The support bracket is placed above the fixed frame, and its top surface can support one end of each tobacco clip. The weight sensor is placed between the fixed frame and the support bracket. The first pad is placed between the weight sensor and the fixed frame, and is fixedly connected to the first end of the weight sensor and the fixed frame. The second pad is placed between the weight sensor and the support bracket, and is fixedly connected to the second end of the weight sensor and the support bracket.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing frame is detachably fixed to the crossbar supporting the baking chamber.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a wing nut and a first bolt, the threaded portion of the first bolt being able to pass through the fixing frame and the baking chamber support crossbar, the wing nut being threadedly connected to the threaded portion of the first bolt to lock and fix the fixing frame and the baking chamber support crossbar.
