Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco processing technology, and in particular to a tobacco turnover basket for tobacco processing that can reduce the amount of tobacco residue at the bottom. Background Technology

[0002] In the tobacco processing flow, tobacco leaf turnover baskets are crucial containers for holding and transporting tobacco leaves. During the vacuum rehumidification process, the tobacco leaves, after humidification, need to be transferred through these baskets. However, traditional turnover baskets have significant drawbacks: their bottoms are typically fixed horizontal, allowing the tobacco leaves to slide off naturally due to gravity. This fails to effectively break the adhesion between the tobacco leaves and the basket bottom, especially for clumps of tobacco that have stuck together due to humidity, pressure, or other factors. This results in a large amount of tobacco leaves remaining at the bottom of the basket, causing not only raw material waste and increased cleaning costs, but also the potential for batch mixing issues due to residual tobacco leaves from different batches entering subsequent batches, affecting the stability of tobacco processing quality. Furthermore, prolonged retention of residual tobacco leaves easily breeds microorganisms, posing a threat to the hygiene and safety of the processing environment.

[0003] In existing technologies, there are limited solutions to address the problem of tobacco residue. Most solutions rely on simple surface treatment optimizations and fail to provide a systematic solution. For example, some turnover baskets have smooth bottoms, but they are still difficult to effectively remove tobacco with strong adhesion, especially when the moisture content of the tobacco is high after vacuum rehumidification, in which case the residue problem is more prominent and the coating is easily damaged.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a turnover basket that can efficiently remove residual tobacco leaves from the bottom through structural innovation, so as to improve the utilization rate of tobacco leaves and reduce production costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a tobacco turnover basket for tobacco processing that can reduce the amount of tobacco residue at the bottom. It aims to improve the problem in the existing technology where the traditional turnover basket uses a horizontal bottom plate, and the tobacco leaves only rely on gravity to slide down naturally. For tobacco clumps that are stuck together, the adhesion between them and the bottom plate cannot be broken, which increases the residue rate.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a tobacco turnover basket for tobacco processing that reduces the amount of tobacco residue at the bottom, comprising a turnover basket body, an mounting plate installed on the inner bottom side of the turnover basket body, multiple flip-plate grooves formed on the mounting plate, and a flipping mechanism provided on the mounting plate, the flipping mechanism facilitating the discharge of tobacco; the flipping mechanism includes a movable flip plate adapted to the flip-plate groove, a transverse connecting rod connected to one side of the flip-plate groove, both ends of the connecting rod being mounted on the mounting plate, and the movable flip plate being rotatably connected to the connecting rod; multiple protrusions are evenly arranged on the inner side of the movable flip plate, and multiple holes are also evenly formed on the movable flip plate; multiple through holes are evenly formed on the turnover basket body.

[0007] As a further description of the above solution, a closing assembly is installed on the top of the movable flap, the closing assembly includes a closing plate, the closing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the movable flap, a hemisphere is fixedly connected to the middle of the closing plate, and a plurality of spherical grooves adapted to the hemisphere are opened on the inner side of the mounting plate.

[0008] As a further description of the above solution, the hemisphere and the spherical groove have a magnetic locking structure.

[0009] As a further description of the above solution, the inner surface of the movable flap is coated with an anti-stick coating.

[0010] As a further description of the above solution, the four corners at the bottom of the turnover basket are all fixedly connected with support legs.

[0011] As a further description of the above solution, a vibrator is installed on the outside of the turnover basket.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] In this invention, after the turnover basket is rotated 180 degrees, the movable flap stands upright, physically tearing the adhered tobacco leaves. This, combined with the array of protrusions on its inner side, weakens the adhesion between the movable flap and the tobacco leaves. The tobacco leaves naturally detach under gravity. When the turnover basket is rotated again, the movable flap returns to its original position. Through these processes, the device has a simple structure. The use of the movable flap and its protrusions reduces the amount of tobacco leaves remaining in the turnover basket and lowers manufacturing and maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a tobacco turnover basket for tobacco processing that can reduce the amount of tobacco residue at the bottom. The turnover basket is mainly composed of a turnover basket body 1, and an installation plate 5 is installed on the inner bottom of the turnover basket body 1. The installation plate 5 has multiple flip-plate grooves 501 and is equipped with a flipping mechanism 3 to facilitate the discharge of tobacco.

[0024] The turnover basket 1 consists of four side plates 102 and a bottom plate 101. Through holes 103 are evenly distributed on both the side plates 102 and the bottom plate 101 to facilitate the overflow of condensate. Support legs 4 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the turnover basket 1, ensuring a more stable installation.

[0025] The flipping mechanism 3 includes a movable flip plate 303 adapted to the flip plate groove 501. A transverse connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the flip plate groove 501, and both ends of the connecting rod are fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 5. A circular connecting hole 304 adapted to the connecting rod is provided on one side of the movable flip plate 303. During assembly, the movable flip plate 303 is fitted into the connecting rod to form a hinged structure that rotates around the rod, so that the movable flip plate 303 is like an openable door. When the movable flip plate 303 is flat, that is, in the closed state, the movable flip plate 303 is embedded in the flip plate groove 501.

[0026] The inner side of the movable flap 303 (i.e., the side in contact with the tobacco) is uniformly provided with a plurality of protrusions 306 forming a protrusion array 306. At the same time, the movable flap 303 is also provided with holes 301 at equal intervals to facilitate the overflow of condensate. The protrusions 306 can weaken the adhesion between the movable flap 303 and the tobacco, while the holes 301 can allow condensate to drain smoothly, reducing the adhesion of tobacco caused by condensate.

[0027] A closing component 305 is installed on one side of the movable flap 303. The closing component 305 includes a closing plate 3051 fixedly connected to the movable flap 303, and a protruding hemisphere 3052 fixedly connected to the middle of the closing plate 3051. Multiple spherical grooves 3053 adapted to the hemispheres 3052 are provided on the inner side of the mounting plate 5. When the movable flap 303 is flat, the spherical grooves 3053 engage with the hemispheres 3052. This engagement can be magnetic, such as the hemisphere 3052 being a permanent magnet, the spherical grooves 3053 containing ferromagnetic material, or both containing magnets. The purpose is to achieve a limiting engagement between the movable flap 303 and the mounting plate 5.

[0028] In addition, a vibrator 2 is installed on the outside of the turnover basket 1. Through the vibration of the vibrator 2, some tobacco leaves will fall off, which can further reduce the tobacco leaves adhering to the turnover basket 1 and the movable flap 303.

[0029] This device is made of corrosion-resistant sheet material. The inner surface of the movable flap 303 is coated with an anti-stick coating, which can be a Teflon coating or a silicone coating. This further weakens the adhesion between the movable flap 303 and the tobacco leaves. In this device, even if the anti-stick coating is damaged, there are still protrusions 306 as a guarantee. These dual measures reduce the amount of tobacco leaves remaining at the bottom of the tobacco leaf turnover basket 1 after vacuum rehumidification.

[0030] In actual use, when the turnover basket 1 is rotated 180 degrees, that is, in an inverted state, due to gravity, the hemisphere 3052 will detach from the spherical groove 3053, and at the same time, the movable flap 303 will stand up (open). At this time, it will have a physical tearing effect on the large pieces of tobacco that are stuck together. Combined with the array of protrusions 306, this will weaken the adhesion between the movable flap 303 and the tobacco. In this way, the stuck tobacco will fall off naturally under the action of gravity. Afterwards, when the turnover basket 1 is rotated 180 degrees again, that is, in an upright state, the movable flap 303 returns to its original position and closes with the closing component 305, thus completing one cleaning cycle.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
