Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tobacco processing technology, specifically relating to a tobacco air-drying and dispersing device. Background Technology

[0002] Tobacco processing is the process of turning tobacco leaves into cigarettes, which includes two main steps: tobacco processing and cigarette rolling, tapping, and packaging. To reduce the tar content in cigarettes, new technologies such as expanded tobacco and perforated dilution are widely used in cigarette manufacturing. If an additional processing step is added before shredding, it is called a blended cigarette manufacturing process.

[0003] Tobacco air-drying is a crucial step in tobacco production, directly impacting the quality and flavor of the final product. After growth and harvest, tobacco undergoes processes such as air-drying and fermentation to remove excess moisture and develop its unique aroma and flavor. Traditional tobacco drying methods are inefficient and difficult to control in terms of quality. During the air-drying process, tobacco leaves tend to clump together, affecting the uniformity and efficiency of drying. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tobacco air-drying and dispersing device, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0026] Example

[0027] Reference Figures 1-5 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a tobacco air-drying and dispersing device, comprising:

[0028] The feeding assembly 100 includes a base 101, a box 102 installed on one side of the upper end of the base 101, a bracket 103 installed on the other side of the upper end of the base 101, a hopper 104 fixedly installed at the end of the bracket 103, and a trough 105 rotatably installed in the middle of the bracket 103.

[0029] The dispersing assembly 200 includes a first motor 201 installed on the bottom side wall of the material trough 105, an eccentric wheel 202 adapted to be installed at the end of the output shaft of the first motor 201, a lever 203 installed at the middle position of the bottom of the material trough 105, and a tension spring 204 installed at the end of the lever 203. The end of the tension spring 204 is bolted to the side wall of the bracket 103.

[0030] The feeding assembly 100 is used to initially disperse the tobacco and reduce its stickiness. The dispersing assembly 200 assists the feeding assembly 100 in further dispersing the tobacco. The bracket 103 is used to mount the hopper 104 in conjunction with the base 101. The hopper 104 is used to supply material into the box 102. The trough 105 is used to transfer the material from the hopper 104. The tobacco is dispersed inside the box 102 through the trough 105. A first motor 201 with an eccentric wheel 202 is installed on the side wall of the trough 105. The first motor 201 is powered by a control device. The first motor 201 drives the eccentric wheel 202 to rotate, causing the eccentric wheel 202 to vibrate, which in turn vibrates the tobacco in the middle of the feed trough 105, causing the tobacco to fall out from the middle of the feed trough 105 and disperse the tobacco. A lever 203 with a tension spring 204 is installed at the end of the feed trough 105. Based on the installation of the bracket 103, the tension spring 204 can cooperate with the lever 203 to limit the feed trough 105, preventing the feed trough 105 from completely flipping over and causing the tobacco to be poured directly into the box 102. The tension spring 204 can maintain the feed trough 105 to swing within a certain range, stably dispersing the tobacco.

[0031] Specifically, the bottom of the hopper 104 is connected to the end of the trough 105, and the trough 105 is inserted into the inside of the box 102.

[0032] One end of the feed trough 105 is connected to the feed hopper 104, which facilitates guiding the material to the middle of the feed trough 105, and then dispersing it inside the box 102 to separate some of the sticky tobacco.

[0033] Furthermore, the feeding assembly 100 also includes a material bucket 106 rotatably mounted inside the housing 102 and a roller 107 rotatably mounted on the side wall of the base 101, with the side wall of the material bucket 106 in rotatable contact with the roller 107.

[0034] The material bucket 106 is added inside the box 102 to collect tobacco scattered in the middle of the material trough 105. Rotating the material bucket 106 facilitates the conveying of tobacco to the tail of the box 102. The roller 107 is used to assist the rotation of the material bucket 106 and keep the material bucket 106 running stably above the base 101.

[0035] Furthermore, the feeding assembly 100 also includes a second motor 108 mounted on one side of the base 101 and a reducer 109 mounted on the end of the output shaft of the second motor 108. The end of the reducer 109 is connected to the roller 107 via a rotating shaft.

[0036] A second motor 108 with a speed reducer 109 is added to the side wall of the base 101. When the power of the second motor 108 is turned on by the drive device, the second motor 108 will drive the roller 107 to rotate through the speed reducer 109, thereby driving the material bucket 106 to rotate above the base, continuously turning the collected tobacco, further spreading the tobacco, and making it easier for the tobacco to be dried.

[0037] Preferably, the feeding assembly 100 also includes a collection box 110 installed at the end of the housing 102, and the end of the material bucket 106 is connected to the collection box 110.

[0038] A collection box 110 is installed at the end of the box 102 to collect the turned-over tobacco, making it easier for the tobacco to enter the subsequent processing stage.

[0039] Preferably, the feeding assembly 100 further includes a positioning post 111 installed on the inner wall of the material barrel 106 and a rubber sleeve 112 covering the outer wall of the positioning post 111.

[0040] The material hopper 106 is equipped with a positioning post 111 with a rubber sleeve 112. The rubber sleeve 112 contacts the tobacco. When the material hopper 106 is rotated to a certain angle, some of the tobacco will hang on the side wall of the rubber sleeve 112. The tobacco will be dispersed by its own weight. The positioning post 111 can improve the connection strength of the rubber sleeve 112 and prevent the rubber sleeve 112 from deforming and affecting its use. The positioning post 111 and the rubber sleeve 112 can be replaced separately, reducing maintenance costs.

[0041] It should be noted that the feeding assembly 100 also includes a ventilation pipe 113 installed on the top of the housing 102, and the ventilation pipe 113 is connected to the inside of the housing 102.

[0042] Ventilation pipes 113 are installed on the side wall of the box 102 to facilitate the introduction of gas into the box 102, keep the tobacco in a dry state, and prevent the tobacco from sticking together again due to high moisture content.

[0043] In use, the power supply to the first motor 201 is turned on by the control device. The first motor 201 drives the eccentric wheel 202 to rotate, causing the eccentric wheel 202 to vibrate. This vibrates the tobacco in the middle of the trough 105, causing the tobacco to fall out of the trough 105. The trough 105 will rotate slightly when it vibrates, which will pull the tension spring 204. The tension spring 204 can work with the lever 203 to provide a reverse pulling force to limit the trough 105, preventing the trough 105 from completely flipping over and causing the tobacco to fall directly into the box 102. This keeps the trough 105 swinging within a certain range. The power supply to the second motor 108 is turned on by the drive device. The second motor 108 drives the roller 107 to rotate through the reducer 109, which in turn drives the hopper 106 to rotate above the base, continuously turning the collected tobacco and further dispersing it to facilitate drying.

[0044] In summary, the feeding component 100 is used to initially disperse the tobacco and reduce its stickiness. The dispersing component 200 is used to assist the feeding component 100 in further dispersing the tobacco, maintaining the trough 105 within a certain range of oscillation, and stabilizing the dispersion of the tobacco. This can evenly disperse the tobacco leaves, thereby increasing air circulation during the drying process, improving the drying effect, and maximizing the protection of its natural flavor and quality, thus maintaining the production quality of the tobacco.
