Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of smoking burst beads, and particularly relates to a calcium water circulation system for smoking burst beads. BACKGROUND

[0002] A burst bead, also known as a burst pellet, is a special capsule structure wrapped with liquid essence inside, and wrapped with a semi-permeable membrane or a sealed capsule material outside. When the burst bead is broken by external force, it will emit a slight sound, so it is commonly known as a "burst bead" in the industry.

[0003] In the application scenarios such as a cigarette filter rod, a burst bead has a unique mechanism. It does not directly participate in the combustion process of a cigarette, but provides a personalized consumer experience for a consumer. Specifically, the consumer can make the liquid essence wrapped in the burst bead pre-implanted in the filter rod release instantaneously according to the consumer's own preferences and needs, so as to create a realistic and highly personalized aroma atmosphere. Conversely, if the consumer chooses not to break the burst bead, the traditional tobacco taste of the cigarette can be maintained to meet the diversified consumer needs.

[0004] The production of a burst bead product is a complex process involving multiple procedures, mainly including dosing, drop pellet, hardening (strengthening), washing, drying, balancing, and selecting. Among them, the hardening (strengthening) procedure occupies a crucial position in the whole production process. The core purpose of this procedure is to significantly improve the mechanical strength of the wet pellet and consolidate the gel network structure of the wet pellet coating. This is because the wet pellet is easily damaged by various external forces in the subsequent washing, drying, and other processing procedures. Through hardening (strengthening) treatment, these problems can be effectively avoided, and the final burst bead product with good appearance roundness can be obtained, thereby improving the overall quality and market competitiveness of the product.

[0005] However, there are obvious deficiencies in the hardening (strengthening) link in the current burst bead production process. At present, there is no calcium equipment specially used for burst bead hardening (strengthening) in the industry, and the related work mainly depends on manual operation. That is, the wet pellets collected after the drop pellet procedure are directly put into the calcium solution for soaking treatment, and the soaking time is usually controlled at 3-5 minutes.

[0006] This manual operation method not only has low efficiency and is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production, but also due to the interference of human factors, it is difficult to ensure the stability and consistency of the hardening (strengthening) effect, thereby adversely affecting the quality of the burst bead product.

[0018] Calcium water in the process of making popping balls usually refers to a solution containing calcium lactate. Calcium lactate is a commonly used food coagulant and plays a crucial role in the process of making popping balls. Specifically, when calcium water (calcium lactate solution) is mixed with fruit juice or fruit pulp containing sodium alginate, a chemical reaction occurs, forming a film-like substance that locks in the fruit juice or fruit pulp, thus forming popping balls. Parameters such as the concentration and temperature of calcium water can affect the forming effect and taste of popping balls. By adjusting the concentration of calcium water, the "popping" difficulty and taste level of popping balls can be controlled to better meet the preferences of consumers. Using calcium water to make popping balls can ensure the stability of the shape and taste of popping balls during storage and transportation, reducing the risk of breakage and deformation, thus improving the overall quality of the product.

[0019] The general steps for making calcium water are: add calcium lactate powder to an appropriate amount of water (usually warm or hot water), stir until completely dissolved, and you will get calcium water. When making popping balls, fruit juice or fruit pulp containing sodium alginate is dripped into the calcium water. Due to the chemical reaction, the fruit juice or fruit pulp will quickly coagulate into small balls, i.e. popping balls.

[0020] It should be noted that the concentration and temperature of calcium water may affect the forming effect and taste of popping balls. Therefore, these parameters need to be strictly controlled during the production process to ensure the quality and taste of popping balls. By adding different flavors and seasonings to fruit juice or fruit pulp containing sodium alginate, popping balls of various flavors can be made. Calcium water, as the key medium for forming, can ensure that these popping balls of different flavors can be successfully formed. Similarly, by adding fruit juice or fruit pulp of different colors, colorful popping balls can be made. Calcium water does not affect the presentation of these colors, but rather protects their brightness and stability.

[0021] In addition, the taste and color of popping balls can be adjusted according to individual preferences. For example, different colored fruit juice or fruit pulp can be added to make colorful popping balls, or different flavors and seasonings can be added to make popping balls of different flavors. The finished popping balls can be served with various drinks and desserts, adding to the taste and fun.

[0022] From the above technical solution, the calcium water circulation system for tobacco popping balls proposed in this application has the following advantages and positive effects:

[0023] The application successfully builds an intelligent automatic calcium water supply mechanism by innovatively configuring a calcium water supplement device and precisely coordinating with the on-off pump assembly and the circulating pump assembly. During the production of popping balls, this mechanism can automatically and accurately control the amount and timing of calcium water supply based on real-time production parameters and preset conditions, effectively avoiding production fluctuations caused by insufficient or excessive calcium water, and significantly improving the stability and controllability of the production process.

[0024] Meanwhile, the application also integrates a separation device which can realize the separation of the burst beads and the calcium water in a short time. This innovative design not only greatly reduces the manual operation link and reduces the influence of human factors on product quality, but also fundamentally improves the automation degree of the burst bead production, making the whole production process more efficient and intelligent.

[0042] It should be noted that in this specification, similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in the subsequent drawings.

[0043] In the description of the present embodiment, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "bottom" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship when the product is usually placed, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 The present application provides a calcium water circulation system for tobacco blasting beads, which is mainly applied to the wet pill hardening stage in the production process of tobacco blasting beads.

[0046] The calcium water circulation system comprises a feeding device, a separation device 1, a calcium water storage device 2, a pipeline 3, a calcium water supplement device 4, a switch pump assembly 5 and a circulating pump assembly 6.

[0047] The feeding device is connected with the calcium water storage device 2 through the pipeline 3, and the pipeline 3 contains calcium water.

[0048] It can be understood that the calcium water in the present application refers to a calcium chloride aqueous solution with a concentration of 0.1-0.5%.

[0049] The separation device 1 is arranged between the feeding device and the calcium water storage device 2, and is used to separate the blasting beads in the pipeline 3.

[0050] The calcium water storage device 2 is used to store the calcium water in the pipeline 3, and the calcium water supplement device 4 is connected with the pipeline 3.

[0051] The switch pump assembly 5 is arranged at the position of the pipeline 3 close to the calcium water supplement device 4, and is used to control the calcium water supplement device 4 to supplement new calcium water to the pipeline 3.

[0052] The circulating pump is arranged in the pipeline 3, and is used to mix the new calcium water in the pipeline 3 with the calcium water, and control the flow speed of the blasting beads.

[0053] The feeding device has a feeding port 7, which is arranged at the upper end, and the pipeline 3 is arranged at the lower end, and the feeding port 7 is connected with the pipeline 3.

[0054] The pipeline 3 between the feeding device and the separation device 1 is a ring-shaped pipeline 31.

[0055] It can be understood that through the arrangement of the ring-shaped pipeline 31, the space utilization is improved, and the mixing effect of the wet pill and the calcium water in the pipeline 3 is effectively increased.

[0056] Specifically, the wet pellets are smoothly and accurately introduced into the calcium water circulation system through the feeding port 7 of the feeding device. The calcium water circulation system is provided with a circulating pump assembly 6, and the outlet of the circulating pump assembly 6 is seamlessly connected with the bottom inlet of the annular pipeline 31.

[0057] When the circulating pump assembly 6 is started to operate, the calcium water forms a stable and orderly circulating flow in the pipeline 3. With the strong power generated by the water flow, the wet pellets can continuously and regularly move along the annular pipeline 31 in the direction from bottom to top.

[0058] To finely control the flow speed of the wet pellets in the pipeline 3, the circulating pump assembly 6 of the present application can adjust the power of the circulating pump. The staff can accurately adjust the power output of the circulating pump according to the actual production needs and the process requirements of the wet pellet treatment.

[0059] Through this adjustment means, the flow rate of the calcium water can be controlled in real time and effectively, and the flow speed of the wet pellets in the annular pipeline 31 can be accurately controlled, so as to ensure that the wet pellets are always in the best motion state in the whole treatment process, so as to achieve the ideal treatment effect.

[0060] The separation device 1 is cleverly installed at the top outlet position of the annular pipeline 31, which ensures that the material flowing out of the annular pipeline 31 can directly and efficiently enter the separation device 1 for treatment. The internal structure of the separation device 1 is carefully planned, and a grid, a mesh and other interception structures are arranged in the upper height area of the middle part.

[0061] According to the difference in physical properties between the blasting beads and the calcium water, the interception structure can efficiently and accurately separate the blasting beads and the calcium water. The bottom of the separation device 1 is connected with the calcium water storage device through the pipeline 3, and a complete and smooth fluid circulation system is constructed.

[0062] Under this structure, when the material mixed with the blasting beads and the calcium water enters the separation device 1, the blasting beads are effectively blocked by the interception structure due to their own characteristics, so as to be collected in the upper area. The calcium water can smoothly pass through the interception structure, flow out of the bottom of the separation device 1, and return to the calcium water storage device through the pipeline 3 for subsequent recycling.

[0063] It can be understood that this unique structural design not only significantly improves the separation efficiency of the blasting beads and the calcium water, but also ensures the continuity and stability of the whole production process, providing a strong guarantee for the high-quality production of the blasting beads.
