[0002] The sun-drying process of tobacco processing is a traditional method of tobacco leaf processing. It mainly involves regulating the natural temperature and humidity, allowing the tobacco to dry naturally outdoors using sunlight or indoors using air convection. This method relies on natural environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, as well as appropriate ventilation. During the sun-drying process, the tobacco undergoes three stages: withering and discoloration, color fixing, and drying. Each stage has its specific environmental requirements, such as temperature and humidity control, to ensure the quality of the tobacco leaves.

[0003] The drying process of tobacco shreds causes the moisture in the tobacco shreds to gradually disappear. However, during the drying process, a considerable portion of the tobacco shreds will be dried unevenly. In this case, the staff will need to sift them out, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and affects work efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a drying device for tobacco processing has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0026] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0027] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0028] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a drying device for tobacco processing, including: a base 1, a rotating component 2 and a driving component 3; the base 1 is provided with a groove 11.

[0030] The rotating assembly 2 includes a first rotating rod 21, multiple fixing frames 22, and a drying rod 23. The first rotating rod 21 is rotatably mounted on both sides of the base 1. The multiple fixing frames 22 are respectively mounted on both ends of the first rotating rod 21, and the first end of the fixing frame 22 is connected to the first rotating rod 21. The two ends of the drying rod 23 are respectively connected to the second ends of the fixing frames 22 located at both ends of the first rotating rod 21. The drying rod 23 is used to hold tobacco.

[0031] Specifically, the fixing frame 22 is fixedly connected to the first rotating rod 21, and the fixing frame 22 rotates inside the groove 11 and in the space above the groove 11; the number of fixing frames 22 at both ends of the first rotating rod 21 is the same, and their positions correspond to each other. The tobacco is placed on the drying rod 23, and when the drying rod 23 rotates with the fixing frame 22, it drives the tobacco to rotate, thereby enabling the tobacco on multiple drying rods 23 to be dried evenly.

[0032] The drive assembly 3 is mounted on the outer side wall of the base 1, and the drive assembly 3 is used to drive the first rotating rod 21 to rotate.

[0033] This invention features a first rotating rod 21 rotatably mounted on both sides of a base 1. Multiple fixing brackets 22 are respectively positioned at both ends of the first rotating rod 21, with the first end of each bracket connected to the first rotating rod 21. Both ends of a drying rod 23 are connected to the second ends of the fixing brackets 22 located at the ends of the first rotating rod 21. A drive assembly 3 is mounted on the outer side of the base 1. In use, the operator places the tobacco on the drying rod 23. The drive assembly 3 drives the first rotating rod 21 to rotate, which in turn rotates the fixing brackets 22, thus causing the drying rod 23 to rotate. This ensures that the tobacco is dried evenly during the drying process, guaranteeing that tobacco dried at the same time and place maintains the same quality standard after drying. This reduces the operator's workload and improves drying efficiency.

[0034] In one embodiment of the tobacco drying device of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a fixing plate 24 is provided on the base 1. The fixing plate 24 is located on both sides of the groove 11, and the fixing plate 24 is provided with mounting holes (not shown in the figure). The two ends of the first rotating rod 21 are respectively connected to the mounting holes.

[0035] Specifically, the first rotating rod 21 is rotatably connected to the mounting hole, the first end of the fixing plate 24 is connected to the base 1, and the mounting hole is set on the second end of the fixing plate 24.

[0036] This utility model places the fixing plate 24 on both sides of the groove 11 and connects the two ends of the first rotating rod 21 to the mounting holes, thereby making the first rotating rod 21 stably installed on the fixing plate 24.

[0037] Furthermore, multiple fixing frames 22 are arranged in a cross structure on the first rotating rod 21, which makes reasonable use of space and effectively improves the drying efficiency of tobacco.

[0038] In one embodiment of the tobacco drying device of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the second end of the fixing bracket 22 has a rotating hole.

[0039] The rotating assembly 2 also includes a bearing 25, which is disposed in the rotating hole, and the drying rod 23 is interference-fitted with the inner peripheral wall of the bearing 25.

[0040] This invention provides a method to stably install the drying rod 23 on the fixed plate 24 by placing the bearing 25 inside the rotating hole and making the drying rod 23 interference fit with the inner peripheral wall of the bearing 25.

[0041] Furthermore, by setting the bearing 25, during the rotation of the first rotating rod 21 driving the fixed frame 22 to rotate, the drying rod 23 at the bearing 25 connection on the fixed frame 22 can rotate horizontally, and the drying rod 23 provides support for the drying of tobacco.

[0042] In one embodiment of the tobacco drying device of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rotating assembly 2 also includes a guide block 26, which is positioned in the middle of the drying rod.

[0043] Specifically, the guide block 26 is fixedly connected to the drying rod 23, and the weight of the guide block 26 is much greater than the weight of the drying rod 23. The center of gravity of the guide block 26 is located below the drying rod 23, so that the guide block 26 always exerts a horizontal downward force on the drying rod 23, thereby keeping the direction of the drying rod 23 unchanged when the rotating rod rotates.

[0044] In one embodiment of the tobacco drying device of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the drive assembly 3 includes a motor 31, a second rotating rod 32, a first gear 33, a second gear 34, and a transmission belt 35. The motor 31 is mounted on the outer side wall of the base 1. The first gear 33 is located on the two side walls of the base 1. The second gear 34 is sleeved on both ends of the first rotating rod 21. The first gear 33 and the second gear 34 are respectively fitted with transmission belts 35 that mesh with them. The second rotating rod 32 is mounted in the groove 11, and both ends of the second rotating rod 32 pass through the base 1 and are connected to the first gear 33. The output shaft of the motor 31 is connected to the second rotating rod 32.

[0045] Specifically, a toothed belt is provided on the inner wall of the transmission belt 35, which meshes with the first gear 33 and the second gear 34.

[0046] The tobacco shreds that need to be dried are placed on the drying rod 23 for drying. By pre-setting the parameters of the motor 31, the motor 31 is turned on to run, so that the first gear 33 and the second gear 34 on the transmission belt 35 are turned. At this time, the drying rod 23 will move with the movement of the fixed frame 22. Through the cooperation of the bearing 25 and the guide block 26, the drying rod 23 itself will not rotate, thus protecting the tobacco shreds on the drying rod 23 from falling off. With the circumferential movement, the tobacco shreds can be dried evenly, and more tobacco shreds can be dried with a smaller area.

[0047] The tobacco drying device of this utility model is easy to disassemble, install and fix in terms of structure, and multiple devices can be connected and used. Multiple devices can work under the drive of one motor 31, which can save costs to a certain extent.

[0048] In one embodiment of the tobacco drying device of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to increase the stability of the motor 31, the drive assembly 3 also includes a support platform 36, which is fixed on the side wall of the base 1, and the motor 31 is mounted on the support platform 36.

[0049] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
