Tobacco rack. Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Existing suspended tobacco curing devices and cigar tobacco drying and lifting devices have complex structures and numerous components, increasing manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulties. Furthermore, these devices are large in size, occupying significant space in the relatively limited space of a drying room and hindering flexible movement and operation, thus affecting the efficiency and convenience of tobacco processing. Therefore, this embodiment provides a tobacco rack hanging device, consisting of a trolley 1, a lifting unit 2, and a bracket 4. Compared to existing technologies, it eliminates unnecessary components such as complex feeding mechanisms, climbing ladders, and protective railings, as well as the cumbersome turnover tobacco frame and V-shaped guide rail structure found in cigar tobacco drying and lifting devices, simplifying the overall structure and reducing production and maintenance costs.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the tobacco rack mounting device is based on the trolley 1, and its overall size is compact. The bottom of the trolley 1 is equipped with a turntable 7, which allows the crossbeam 3, bracket 4 and the tobacco rack 9 it carries to turn flexibly in the drying room. Whether it is shuttling through narrow aisles or stopping at different positions in the drying room, it can be easily achieved, effectively solving the problem of large-volume equipment being inconvenient to move in a limited space.

[0031] The tobacco rack hanging device mainly includes a trolley 1, a lifting unit 2, and a bracket 4. The lifting unit 2 is mounted on the trolley 1 at its bottom via a turntable 7, and has a crossbeam 3 at its top. The vertical distance between the crossbeam 3 and the trolley 1 can be adjusted by telescoping. Inside the drying room, operators can easily adjust the hanging height of the tobacco rack 9 according to the height of the drying room, the placement of the tobacco rack 9, and the specific requirements of tobacco processing, making full use of the drying room space.

[0032] The lifting unit 2 can use an electric telescopic rod, hydraulic cylinder, or other similar power source. In this embodiment, an electric cylinder can be used to construct the electric lifting rod, with one end connected to the crossbeam 3 and the other end connected to the turntable 7. The power supply for the electric lifting rod can be located on the trolley 1, using a storage battery, and a corresponding lifting controller can be installed to realize the lifting action of the electric lifting rod.

[0033] Two brackets 4 are provided and installed at intervals on the crossbeam 3, and the two brackets 4 are used to jointly support the tobacco rack 9. Each bracket 4 has a fixing groove 5, and V-shaped bent clamps 62 are rotatably installed on the two side walls of the groove. A first spring 65 is also provided in the fixing groove 5. When the tobacco rack 9 is not placed, the first spring 65 pushes the clamps 62 to rotate to a first position, such as... Figure 3 As shown, an opening channel is formed between the clamping plates 62 to facilitate the quick insertion of the tobacco rack 9; after the tobacco rack 9 is placed in, the clamping plates 62 are pressed by the tobacco rack 9, the first spring 65 is compressed, and the clamping plates 62 tightly clamp the tobacco rack 9. Under the action of gravity, the horizontal displacement of the tobacco rack 9 is restricted, as shown in the figure. Figure 4As shown, this ensures the stability of the tobacco rack 9 during the transfer process on the tobacco rack hanging device, and solves the problem that the existing device is not convenient or stable enough for fixing the tobacco rack 9.

[0034] The simplified structure reduces the use of raw materials and components, simplifies the production process, and lowers labor and material costs in the manufacturing process. Simultaneously, fewer components mean less maintenance and repair work, resulting in lower maintenance costs. The compact size of the tobacco rack hanging device in this embodiment occupies little space in the drying chamber, and the height of the tobacco rack 9 can be adjusted according to actual needs, improving the utilization rate of the drying chamber space and allowing the drying chamber to accommodate more tobacco for processing.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a transmission end 63 and a clamping end 64 are respectively provided on both sides of the opening of the clamping plate 62. The clamping end 64 is close to the top opening of the fixing groove 5, and the transmission end 63 is close to the bottom surface. When the tobacco rack 9 contacts the transmission end 63, it can effectively drive the clamping plate 62 to rotate. After the tobacco rack 9 is placed, the clamping plate 62 is rotated by the weight of the tobacco rack 9 itself. Figure 4 The posture shown.

[0036] Specifically, the clamping plate 62 is divided into two limbs arranged at an angle. The bent part is rotatably connected to the side of the fixing groove 5, and the limb corresponding to the transmission end 63 abuts against the first spring 65. The clamping plate 62 rotates more smoothly when under force, and the spring's rebound force can act more precisely on the clamping plate 62. After the tobacco rack 9 is removed from the fixing groove 5, the clamping plate 62 can be reset to its original position. Figure 3 The state of the tobacco rack 9 to be placed is shown.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the crossbeams 3 are horizontally distributed, and the line connecting the fixing slots 5 on the two brackets 4 is parallel to the crossbeams 3 and located on the outer side. This makes the tobacco racks 9 more dispersed and reasonable, avoiding instability caused by concentration in one place. It also makes it easier for operators to easily place and remove the tobacco racks 9 from both sides, improving operational efficiency. After being placed on the external support structure, as shown... Figure 5 As shown.

[0038] The lifting unit 2 uses an electric lifting rod, with one end connected to the crossbeam 3 and the other end connected to the turntable 7. Compared with the traditional manual lifting method, the electric lifting rod provides smoother and more precise lifting, and can be quickly adjusted to the required height, further improving the convenience of adjusting the height of the tobacco rack 9 in the drying room. Multiple handles 21 are installed on the outer circumference, making it convenient for operators to push the electric lifting rod and the crossbeam 3 to rotate relative to the trolley 1. Combined with the turntable 7, multi-angle adjustments can be achieved to adapt to different drying room layouts and tobacco rack 9 hanging requirements.

[0039] The turntable 7 is mounted on the trolley 1 via a damping bearing 71. The damping bearing 71 provides a certain amount of resistance, making the turntable 7 more stable during rotation and preventing it from easily shaking due to bumps when moving the trolley 1. This ensures the stability of the lifting part 2 and the bracket 4 when adjusting their positions and prevents the tobacco rack 9 from falling off due to shaking.

[0040] The trolley 1 is provided with a carrier plate, on which there is a sliding hole. A sliding rod 81 is slidably fitted into the sliding hole. One end of the sliding rod 81 on the carrier plate is connected to a foot pedal 82, and the other end of the sliding rod 81 under the carrier plate is connected to a brake pad 83. A second spring 84 is sleeved on the sliding rod 81. One end of the second spring 84 abuts against the bottom surface of the carrier plate, and the other end abuts against the brake pad 83. The sliding rod 81, the foot pedal 82, the second spring 84, and the brake pad 83 constitute the brake part 8. The sliding rod 81 is configured to drive the brake pad 83 to move when the pedal receives external force, so that the brake pad 83 contacts the ground to restrain the trolley 1.

[0041] When the foot pedal 82 receives external force, the sliding rod 81 drives the brake pad 83 to contact the ground and constrain the position of the trolley 1. This foot pedal 82 braking design is simple and convenient to operate. When it is necessary to fix the position of the trolley 1, the operator does not need to bend over and manually operate the brake, which improves work efficiency. In addition, the design of the second spring 84 can ensure that the brake pad 83 automatically resets when no force is applied.

[0042] The turntable 7 is mounted on the carrier plate of the trolley 1, and its structure is compact and reasonable. The trolley 1 is equipped with a handle and multiple casters. The handle makes it easy for the operator to push the trolley 1, while the casters ensure the flexibility of the trolley 1's movement. It can be easily turned and moved within the drying chamber. Together with other components, this further improves the overall ease of operation of the device.

[0043] The damping bearing 71 and the rational structural layout make the device more stable during use, reducing the risk of shaking and falling, and providing more reliable support for tobacco processing. The electric lifting rod and multi-angle adjustment function enable the device to better adapt to the spatial layout of different drying rooms and the needs of tobacco processing, further expanding its application scenarios.

[0044] The specific embodiments of the utility model have been described in detail above, but they are only examples, and the utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent modifications or substitutions to the utility model are also within the scope of the utility model. Therefore, all equivalent transformations, modifications, and improvements made without departing from the spirit and principles of the utility model should be covered within the scope of the utility model.
