Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cigar tobacco processing technology, specifically to a multi-layer circulating drying device for cigar tobacco. Background Technology
[0002] A cigar is a tobacco product made from dried and fermented tobacco. To smoke it, one end is lit and the smoke is drawn from the other end. As people's quality of life improves, more and more people are starting to enjoy smoking cigars. Compared to cigarettes, cigars are less harmful to the body, and smoking them is seen as a symbol of gentlemanly behavior, making them increasingly popular. Before making cigars, cigar tobacco leaves often undergo drying and other processing techniques.
[0003] Currently, the drying process for cigar tobacco leaves typically involves placing them inside a drying chamber and using hot air to dry them. However, when drying multiple layers of cigar tobacco leaves simultaneously, uneven airflow and inconsistent drying times can easily occur, leading to a decrease in the quality of the cigar tobacco leaves. To address these issues, we propose a multi-layer circulating drying device for cigar tobacco leaves. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, this application provides a multi-layer circulating drying device for cigar tobacco leaves to solve the problem that when multiple layers of cigar tobacco leaves are dried simultaneously, the air exposure of the multiple layers of cigar tobacco leaves is uneven and the drying time is inconsistent, which leads to a reduction in the quality of the cigar tobacco leaves.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A multi-layer circulating drying device for cigar tobacco leaves includes a drying chamber body. Three sets of equidistantly arranged mounting plates are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber body. A U-shaped frame is placed above each set of mounting plates. A breathable mesh is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each U-shaped frame. A set of equidistantly arranged air outlets is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber body.

[0023] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a multi-layer circulating drying device for cigar tobacco leaves according to the first aspect of this application includes a drying chamber body 1. Three sets of equidistantly arranged mounting plates 2 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber body 1. A U-shaped frame 3 is placed above each set of mounting plates 2. A breathable mesh 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each U-shaped frame 3. A set of equidistantly arranged air outlets 5 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber body 1. A hot air distribution box 6 is fixedly installed on the back of the drying chamber body 1. The input end of each air outlet 5 is connected to the output end of the hot air distribution box 6. A hot air return box 7 is fixedly installed on the right side of the drying chamber body 1. A suction hood 8 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the drying chamber body 1. A first air duct 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the suction hood 8. The output end of the air duct 9 is connected to the input end of the hot air return box 7. An electric heating block 10 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the hot air return box 7. A fan body 11 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the hot air return box 7. The output end of the hot air return box 7 is fixedly connected to the second air duct 12. The output end of the second air duct 12 is connected to the input end of the hot air distribution box 6. A sealing door 13 is hinged to the front of the drying box body 1. A door handle 14 is fixedly connected to the front of the sealing door 13. An exhaust valve 24 is fixedly connected to the back of the drying box body 1. By using the cooperation of the suction hood 8 and the first air duct 9, the gas inside the drying box body 1 can be transported to the inside of the hot air return box 7. The electric heating block 10 can be used to heat the gas inside the hot air return box 7.
[0025] A control panel 15 is fixedly installed on the left side of the drying chamber body 1. Two working status indicator lights 16 are fixedly installed on the left side of the drying chamber body 1. A support plate 17 is fixedly connected to the right side of the drying chamber body 1. The upper surface of the support plate 17 is connected to the bottom surface of the hot air return box 7. An observation window 18 is opened on the front of the sealing door 13. A transparent glass is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the observation window 18. The working status indicator lights 16 can be used to help the staff check the working status of the drying chamber body 1. The support plate 17 can be used to support and reinforce the hot air return box 7. The observation window 18 can be used to help the staff check the drying status of the cigar tobacco leaves inside the drying chamber body 1.
[0026] Each mounting plate 2 has a reinforcing triangular plate 19 fixedly connected to its bottom surface. The two sets of reinforcing triangular plates 19 are connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber body 1 on opposite sides. Each mounting plate 2 has a groove 20 on its upper surface. Each groove 20 has a set of sliders 21 slidably connected inside it. The upper surface of each set of sliders 21 is connected to the bottom surface of each U-shaped frame 3. The bottom surface of the drying chamber body 1 is fixedly connected to two L-shaped support frames 22. Each L-shaped support frame 22 has a set of positioning holes 23 on its upper surface. The reinforcing triangular plates 19 can be used to reinforce the mounting plate 2, making the connection between the mounting plate 2 and the inner wall of the drying chamber body 1 more secure. The grooves 20 and sliders 21 work together to provide a good limiting effect for the U-shaped frame 3. The L-shaped support frames 22 and positioning holes 23 make it easy for workers to fix the drying chamber body 1 to the ground.
[0027] Working Principle: When using this device, the operator first uses the L-shaped support frame 22 and positioning holes 23 to fix the drying chamber body 1 to the ground and connects the device to an external power source. Next, the operator opens the sealing door 13 and places the cigar tobacco leaves to be dried onto the ventilation mesh 4. After placement, the sealing door 13 is closed, and the electric heating block 10 and the fan body 11 are activated using the control panel 15. The electric heating block 10 heats the gas inside the hot air return box 7, while the fan body 11 and the second air duct 12 deliver the heated gas to the inside of the hot air distribution box 6. Then, the hot air inside the hot air distribution box 6 is blown out using the air outlet 5. The air is drawn into the drying chamber 1 to dry the cigar tobacco leaves on the ventilation mesh 4. Simultaneously, the suction hood 8 and the first air duct 9 work together to transport the air inside the drying chamber 1 to the hot air return box 7, thus circulating and drying the cigar tobacco leaves inside the drying chamber 1. When the cigar tobacco leaves inside the drying chamber 1 have been dried for a certain period, the operator uses the control panel 15 to open the exhaust valve 24, expelling the hot and humid air generated inside the drying chamber 1 to the outside. Then, the drying process can begin again using the same steps. This is the complete operating procedure for this device.
[0028] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
