A flexible cigar tobacco shredding device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco processing technology, specifically a flexible shredding device for cigar tobacco leaves. Background Technology

[0002] The growth of cigar tobacco leaves is highly sensitive to conditions such as climate, soil, irrigation, and fertilization. The leaves are typically hand-picked after maturity to ensure optimal taste and quality. After harvesting, the leaves need to be dried to remove moisture.

[0003] Currently, cigar tobacco leaves require flattening before shredding, making the processes incompatible. Furthermore, the existing flattening process involves rigid contact between the two rollers, which can result in gaps that are too large or too small for stacks of tobacco leaves of varying thicknesses, hindering practicality. Therefore, designing a highly practical flexible cigar tobacco shredding device is essential. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible cigar tobacco shredding device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a flexible cigar tobacco leaf shredding device, comprising a housing, slide rails correspondingly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the housing, and a bearing seat slidably installed between the upper and lower slide rails, a fixing part rotatably arranged in the middle of the bearing seat, a flattening roller connected between the two fixing parts, a feed port opened at the top of the housing, and a discharge port opened at the bottom of the housing.

[0006] According to the above technical solution, a slicing blade shaft is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the housing, and multiple slicing blades are arranged in a straight line on the outer wall of the slicing blade shaft. The slicing blades on the two slicing blade shafts are staggered. One end of one slicing blade shaft is equipped with a drive gear, and one end of the other slicing blade shaft is equipped with a driven gear. One end of the drive gear is torque-connected to a slicing motor, and the slicing motor is fixed to the outer wall of the housing.

[0007] According to the above technical solution, an elastic sheet is connected between the two bearing seats, and there are two elastic sheets, which are arranged symmetrically to each other.

[0008] According to the above technical solution, a spring is connected to one side of the bearing seat, a screw hole is opened on the outer wall of the housing, and an adjusting screw is movably connected to the screw hole through a thread, and one end of the adjusting screw is connected to the spring.

[0009] According to the above technical solution, a pipe is installed on the bottom inner wall of the shell, one end of the pipe is connected to a square nozzle, the square nozzle is flush with the shredder, and one end of the pipe is connected to an air pump, the input end of the air pump is connected to an external air source.

[0010] According to the above technical solution, a flattening motor is installed on one side of each of the two bearing seats located at one end of the housing, and the output end of the flattening motor is connected to the fixing part.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows: This utility model, through two flattening rollers flexibly installed inside the housing, allows for flexible adjustment of the horizontal position of the rollers by rotating the adjusting screw to loosen or tighten the spring when the distance between the two rollers needs to be increased or decreased, thereby adjusting the distance between the two bearing seats. This allows for flexible changes in the distance between the two flattening rollers. When cutting a stack of tobacco leaves of a certain thickness into shreds, the rollers can be adjusted to a suitable distance for flattening, making it easy to adapt to stacks of tobacco leaves of different thicknesses. Shredding can be performed immediately after flattening, resulting in a high degree of integration between the two processes. Attached Figure Description

[0017] 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.

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1-3. The present invention provides a technical solution: a flexible cigar tobacco shredding device, including a housing 1, with slide rails 4 installed on the inner walls of both sides of the housing 1, and a bearing seat 41 slidably installed between the upper and lower slide rails 4. A fixing part 451 is rotatably arranged in the middle of the bearing seat 41, and a flattening roller 45 is connected between the two fixing parts 451. A feed inlet 11 is opened at the top of the housing 1, and a discharge outlet 12 is opened at the bottom of the housing 1. When flattening is required, a stack of tobacco leaves is fed from the feed inlet 11 into the space between the two flattening rollers 45, so that the two flattening rollers 45 rotate in opposite directions to flatten the stack of tobacco leaves, and then fall down to shred.

[0019] A shredder shaft is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the housing 1, and multiple shredders 2 are mounted in a straight line on the outer wall of the shredder shaft. The shredders 2 on the two shredder shafts are staggered. One end of one shredder shaft is equipped with a drive gear 21, and the other end of the shredder shaft is equipped with a driven gear 23. One end of the drive gear 21 is torque-connected to a shredder motor 22. The shredder motor 22 is fixed to the outer wall of the housing 1. When the flattened tobacco leaves are shredded from above, the shredder motor 22 is started, which drives the drive gear 21 and the shredder shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 23 and the other shredder shaft to rotate. The two sets of shredders 2 rotate towards each other and begin shredding, which facilitates the shredding of the tobacco leaves.

[0020] An elastic sheet 43 is connected between the two bearing seats 41. There are two elastic sheets 43, and the two elastic sheets 43 are arranged symmetrically to each other. Since the elastic sheet 43 applies an outward expansion force to the two bearing seats 41, it prevents the two bearing seats 41 from being too close.

[0021] A spring 42 is connected to one side of the bearing seat 41. A screw hole is opened on the outer wall of the housing 1, and an adjusting screw 44 is movably connected to the screw hole through a thread. One end of the adjusting screw 44 is connected to the spring 42. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the bearing seat 41, the adjusting screw 44 is rotated to change its lateral position, and the spring 42 is compressed or stretched, thereby adjusting the position of the bearing seat 41 and thus adjusting the distance between the two flattening rollers 45.

[0022] A pipe 3 is installed on the bottom inner wall of the housing 1. One end of the pipe 3 is connected to a square nozzle 32, which is flush with the shredder 2. One end of the pipe 3 is connected to an air pump 31, and the input end of the air pump 31 is connected to an external air source. When the shredding is completed, a certain amount of tobacco leaves will be hanging on the shredder 2. At this time, the air pump 31 is started to pump high-pressure air into the pipe 3 and into the interior of the square nozzle 32, and spray the gas onto the shredder 2 to blow away the tobacco leaf residue, making it easier to clean.

[0023] A flattening motor 46 is installed on one side of each of the two bearing seats 41 located at one end of the housing 1. The output end of the flattening motor 46 is connected to the fixing part 451. Starting the flattening motor 46 causes the fixing part 451 to rotate, thereby driving the flattening roller 45 to rotate and flatten the tobacco leaves.

[0024] By flexibly installing two flattening rollers inside the housing, the horizontal position of the rollers can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw to loosen or tighten the spring when the distance between the two rollers needs to be increased or decreased. This, in turn, adjusts the distance between the two bearing seats, thereby flexibly changing the distance between the two flattening rollers. When cutting a stack of tobacco leaves of a certain thickness into shreds, the rollers can be adjusted to a suitable distance for flattening, making it easy to adapt to stacks of tobacco leaves of different thicknesses. Shredding can be carried out immediately after flattening, resulting in a high degree of integration between the two processes.
