Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco leaf processing technology in the tobacco industry, specifically to a water-saving vacuum device for tobacco leaf vacuum rehumidification. Background Technology
[0002] A tobacco vacuum rehumidifier is a tobacco processing equipment used to moisten and soften tobacco leaves for subsequent processing. It also has the functions of killing insects and eggs, reducing the green and impure smell of tobacco leaves, and improving the color and taste of tobacco leaves. It has a wide range of applications in the tobacco industry.
[0003] With the increasing emphasis on energy conservation and emission reduction in the industry, mechanical vacuum pumps are being used more and more. However, the working medium of vacuum rehumidifiers contains a large amount of water vapor, which is precisely the advantage of water ring vacuum pumps. Currently, water ring vacuum pumps used in the industry have two ways of supplying working water: either using soft water or using cooling water from an outdoor water system. When using soft water, the water is discharged directly after operation, resulting in significant water consumption. When using cooling water from an outdoor water system, the tobacco has a high impurity content, and the flow parts are prone to corrosion and scaling. After a period of use, the working capacity of the equipment will decrease significantly. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a water-saving vacuum device for tobacco vacuum rehumidifiers to improve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0034] When the tobacco vacuum rehumidifier of this water-saving vacuum device is running, firstly open the bypass valve 17, the first vacuum valve 27, and the second vacuum valve 28, then start the first water ring vacuum pump 18 and the second water ring vacuum pump 20. When the vacuum degree of the chamber reaches 30 kPa, close the bypass valve 17, start the water pump 23, and the gas cooler 15 will work normally. Then close the second vacuum valve 28 and the second water ring vacuum pump 20, and start the intermediate pump. When the vacuum degree of the chamber reaches 6 kPa, start the main pump and evacuate to the set vacuum degree or set temperature. The first evacuation is then complete. The working water for the first water ring vacuum pump 18 and the second water ring vacuum pump 20 is supplied by the circulating water tank 21. After operation, the water temperature reaches about 40°C and is discharged into the gas separator. Then, the hot water enters the hot water area of the circulating water tank 21 and is cooled down by the water pump 23 through the heat exchanger 24, thus recycling the water resources. The water pump 23 supplies water to each water point in a centralized water supply mode. The condensate in the steam trap 12 has a lower temperature and enters the hot water side of the circulating water tank 21. This reduces the number of times the water pump 23 starts and stops, because the start and stop of the water pump 23 depends on the collected temperature signal.
[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0036] 1. The tobacco vacuum rehumidifier of this water-saving vacuum device has gas extracted from the vacuum chamber that is finely filtered to reduce tobacco impurities, which is beneficial to the good water quality of the circulating water tank 21. In addition, the circulating water tank 21 centrally supplies cooling water, which is conducive to the stability of the working water temperature and flow rate, facilitates equipment maintenance and repair, and makes the construction site neat and beautiful.
[0037] 2. The condensate temperature of the tobacco vacuum rehumidifier in this water-saving vacuum device is very low. It can be directly discharged into the circulating water tank 21, which is conducive to energy utilization and can recycle the condensate, greatly reducing water waste and meeting the overall requirements of the country and industry for energy conservation and emission reduction.
[0038] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
