[0028] Example 1:
[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the tobacco leaf withering racks in the tobacco curing barn include:
[0030] The support mechanism 1, the suspension mechanism 2 mounted on the front end of the support mechanism 1, and the locking mechanism 3 mounted on the top of the suspension mechanism 2;
[0031] Support mechanism 1 includes support frame 11;
[0032] The suspension mechanism 2 includes a housing 21 fixedly installed at the front end of the support frame 11. A feed port 25 is provided on one side of the housing 21. A transmission wheel 26 is rotatably installed inside the housing 21. A belt 27 is installed between the transmission wheels 26 for transmission. The belts 27 are arranged symmetrically. A puncture needle 28 is fixedly installed on the surface of the belt 27. The puncture needles 28 are arranged alternately.
[0033] As can be seen from the above, by moving the device to a suitable position during use, the conveyor wheel 26 can be rotated, which in turn drives the belt 27 to rotate, allowing the piercing needles 28 to move in an alternating manner. By placing the root of the tobacco leaf into the feed inlet 25, the piercing needles 28 moving in an alternating manner can pierce the root of the tobacco leaf, making it easy to pierce and hold the root of the tobacco leaf. The piercing needles 28 can be used to suspend the tobacco leaf, preventing it from falling.
[0034] By moving the tobacco leaves along the belt 27, the tobacco leaves can be automatically arranged and hung without the need for binding ropes. By pushing the support frame 11, the hung tobacco leaves can be directly pushed into the curing barn for withering, which effectively simplifies the operation of hanging tobacco leaves and brings more convenience to the withering process. When unloading, by driving the conveyor wheel 26 to rotate in the opposite direction, the belt 27 can rotate in reverse, which can easily transport the tobacco leaves to the feed inlet 25, automatically separate the tobacco leaves from the piercing needle 28, and facilitate the automatic detachment of the tobacco leaves. This makes it easy to unload and collect the withered tobacco leaves quickly.
[0035] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that a shaft 211 extending out of the housing 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the conveyor wheel 26, and a turntable 212 is fixedly installed on the top of the shaft 211.
[0036] As can be seen from the above, by using the turntable 212, the shaft 211 can be easily rotated, which can synchronously drive the transmission wheel 26 to rotate, thereby driving the belt 27 to rotate, making it convenient to use the piercing needle 28 to pierce and clamp the root of the tobacco leaf.
[0037] For details, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, the locking mechanism 3 includes a fixed base 31 fixedly installed on the top of the housing 21, and a fixing bolt 32 corresponding to the turntable 212 is installed on the internal thread of the fixed base 31.
[0038] As can be seen from the above, the fixed bolt 32 and the fixed seat 31 are connected by threads. By rotating the fixed bolt 32, the turntable 212 can be easily squeezed and locked. After the tobacco leaves are suspended, the turntable 212 can be prevented from rotating.
[0039] For details, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, a guide plate 24 is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 21, and the guide plate 24 is distributed on both sides of the feed inlet 25.
[0040] As can be seen from the above, the guide plate 24 is in the shape of a trumpet at the feed inlet 25, which makes it easy for the root of the tobacco leaf to slide along the guide plate 24 to the feed inlet 25. It can be easily and accurately positioned at the feed inlet 25, so that the tobacco leaf can be successfully pierced and clamped by the piercing needle 28.
[0041] Example 2:
[0042] refer to Figure 4 As shown, a support wheel 29 is rotatably mounted inside the housing 21, and a belt 27 is wrapped around the periphery of the support wheel 29. The transmission wheels 26 are connected by gears 210.
[0043] As can be seen from the above, the rolling of the support wheel 29 can easily support the belt 27 and prevent the belt 27 from becoming loose, so that the piercing needle 28 can stably pierce and clamp the tobacco leaf. When the transmission wheel 26 rotates, the meshing of the gears 210 can make the other set of belts 27 rotate relative to each other, which can easily drive the piercing needle 28 to move back and forth.
[0044] refer to Figure 3 As shown, fixing rods 22 are fixedly installed on both sides of the housing 21, and a collection box 23 is fixedly installed between the fixing rods 22.
[0045] As can be seen from the above, the collection box 23 can be easily fixed by the fixing rod 22, so that the collection box 23 can be placed at the bottom of the tobacco leaf. This allows the collection of the debris that falls from the tobacco leaf during the withering process, which can prevent the debris from falling to the ground and causing a difficult situation to clean up, thus improving the usage effect.
[0046] refer to Figure 2 As shown, a handle 13 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the support frame 11, and a caster wheel 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame 11.
[0047] As can be seen from the above, by holding the handle frame 13, the support frame 11 can be moved by using the rolling action of the moving wheels 12, which can easily push the suspended tobacco leaves into the curing barn for withering, and also easily push the withered tobacco leaves out of the curing barn for unloading.
[0048] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
