Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco processing technology, specifically to a tobacco vacuum rehumidification machine with an intelligent combined vacuum device. Background Technology

[0002] Tobacco vacuum rehumidifiers are mainly used in cigarette factories and flue-cured tobacco plants. They are key equipment certified by the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration. Their working principle is as follows: tobacco leaves with an incoming moisture content of approximately 12% are placed in a vacuum chamber, evacuated to a set vacuum level, and then humidifying steam is released into the chamber, making the tobacco leaves moist and soft. Depending on the process requirements, multiple evacuation and humidification processes can be performed. Depending on the usage environment and requirements, especially when processing intensity is low, vacuum rehumidifiers are also called tobacco leaf softening machines. They can improve the tobacco leaves' resistance to dryness and breakage, and enhance their processing durability. Softened tobacco leaves reduce breakage and improve sorting efficiency. Vacuum rehumidifiers also have the functions of killing insects and eggs, reducing the green and unpleasant odors of tobacco leaves, and improving the color and flavor of tobacco leaves. Therefore, their application in the tobacco industry is becoming increasingly widespread.

[0003] A vacuum rehumidifier is a sealed container. As the working time increases, the vacuum level increases, and the load decreases. However, traditional vacuum rehumidifiers use processing equipment with fixed parameters, which leads to a situation where the equipment is underpowered in the later stages of operation. This is not conducive to reducing the cost of tobacco processing. The energy consumption of vacuum rehumidification accounts for a large proportion of the entire processing process. The State Tobacco Monopoly Administration requires continuous improvement of the "green content" and "gold content" of the industry. Tobacco processing enterprises face significant pressure to conserve energy and reduce emissions. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a smart combined vacuum device for tobacco vacuum rehumidifiers to improve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical defects.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose a smart combined vacuum device for tobacco leaf vacuum rehumidification, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this utility model provides a tobacco vacuum rehumidifier with an intelligent combined vacuum device, including a rehumidification chamber. A first pipe is provided on the top of the rehumidification chamber, and a self-controlled main vacuum valve is provided on the outer surface of the first pipe. A filter is provided on one side of the self-controlled main vacuum valve, a refrigeration component is provided on one side of the refrigeration component, a steam trap is provided on one side of the steam trap, a modular vacuum unit is provided on one side of the steam trap, a water collection tank is provided on one side of the water collection tank, and a self-controlled drain valve is provided on one side of the water collection tank.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the refrigeration component includes a refrigeration unit, an energy storage buffer tank is provided on one side of the refrigeration unit, and a low-temperature circulating pump is provided on one side of the energy storage buffer tank.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, a cold source can be provided for the steam trap.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a condensation pipe is provided on one side of the energy storage buffer tank, and the energy storage buffer tank, the cryogenic circulating pump and the steam trap are connected through the condensation pipe.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, low-temperature water vapor can be introduced into the steam trap.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the modular vacuum unit includes an A1 Roots pump, an A2 Roots pump is provided on one side of the A1 Roots pump, a B1 Roots pump is provided on one side of the A1 Roots pump, a B2 Roots pump is provided on one side of the B1 Roots pump, a C backing screw pump is provided on one side of the B2 Roots pump, and a D backing screw pump is provided on one side of the C backing screw pump.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solutions, the combination configuration can be adjusted in a timely manner according to changes in the air extraction load.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: one side of the A1 Roots pump is provided with an A channel, one side of the B1 Roots pump is provided with a B channel, one side of the C backing screw pump is provided with a C channel, and one side of the D backing screw pump is provided with a D channel.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to generate a vacuum in the equipment.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: the outer surfaces of channels A, B, C and D are all provided with self-controlled vacuum valves, and the outer surface of channel B is provided with a bypass valve.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, the equipment can be automatically coordinated and switched on and off.

[0017] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. In this intelligent combined vacuum device, the tobacco vacuum rehumidifier extracts gas from the vacuum chamber, which is then filtered, condensed, and dehydrated before entering the vacuum pump. This reduces the load on the vacuum pump and is beneficial to its normal operation.

[0019] 2. The tobacco leaf vacuum rehumidifier of this intelligent combined vacuum device uses multiple front-stage screw vacuum pumps in parallel. The load is large at startup, and multiple screw vacuum pumps are turned on. However, as the load decreases in the later stages of evacuation, some of the screw vacuum pumps can be turned off to reduce energy consumption. The combination of multiple Roots vacuum pumps and screw vacuum pumps allows for timely adjustment of the combination according to changes in the evacuation load. Furthermore, if any of the Roots vacuum pumps and screw vacuum pumps malfunctions, the combination can be adjusted promptly to ensure equipment operation and avoid equipment downtime due to sudden failures, which could affect the operation of the entire production line.

[0020] 3. For the tobacco vacuum rehumidifier of this intelligent combined vacuum device, a large-volume vacuum chamber requires a vacuum pump with a large air extraction capacity. However, if multiple small-capacity vacuum pumps are used in parallel, the procurement cost is actually lower and the economy is better.

The C backing screw pump 18 and the D backing screw pump 19 can be oil-type screw vacuum pumps or dry screw vacuum pumps.

[0045] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0046] This intelligent combined vacuum device for tobacco leaf vacuum rehumidification normally involves three evacuation processes during a 2.5-cycle rehumidification process. During the first evacuation, the automatic bypass valve 25, the automatic vacuum valve 24 of channel C 22, the automatic vacuum valve 24 of channel D 23, the C-stage pre-screw pump 18, and the D-stage pre-screw pump 19 are opened. When the first set vacuum level (e.g., 8 kPa) is reached, the automatic bypass valve 25 is closed, and the automatic vacuum valve 24 of channel A 20 and the A2 Roots pump 15 are opened. When the second set vacuum level (e.g., 4 kPa) is reached, the A1 Roots pump 14 is opened, and then the automatic vacuum valve 24 of channel D 23 and the D-stage pre-screw pump 19 are closed until the working vacuum level is reached. Alternatively, the automatic vacuum valve of channel D 23 can be closed earlier based on operating performance parameters. 24. D-stage screw pump 19, for example, is closed simultaneously with the automatic bypass valve 25. The main working medium in the initial stage of the first evacuation is air. When the evacuation reaches 40,000 kPa (corresponding to a saturation temperature of 29°C), the water in the humidification chamber 1 begins to evaporate faster. The low-temperature water vapor enters the steam trap 6 and is condensed. The non-condensable gas enters the vacuum unit 7, effectively protecting the flow components from corrosion. The main working medium in the second and third evacuations is water vapor. The backing pump is turned on simultaneously, and the large pumping volume is operated. In this example, the automatic bypass valve 25, the automatic vacuum valve 24 of channel C 22, the automatic vacuum valve 24 of channel D 23, the C-stage screw pump 18, and the D-stage screw pump 19 are turned on. At this time, the Roots vacuum pump is no longer turned on, and the evacuation is carried out to the set vacuum level.

[0047] The refrigeration unit 10 provides a cold source for the steam trap 6. Since the vacuum dehumidifier operates intermittently, the steam trap 6 is also used intermittently. Therefore, an energy storage buffer tank 11 is set between the refrigeration unit 10 and the steam trap 6. This can reduce the cooling capacity and installed power of the refrigeration unit 10. When the equipment is not evacuated, the refrigeration unit 10 and the energy storage buffer tank 11 are still working in a cycle. The temperature inside the energy storage buffer tank 11 can reach -70℃ to -5℃ according to the design requirements. The low temperature circulating pump 12 makes the steam trap 6 reach the required trapping temperature. The steam trap 6 is also called a cold trap and can be a shell-and-tube structure or other structures.

[0048] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0049] 1. In this intelligent combined vacuum device, the tobacco vacuum rehumidifier extracts gas from the vacuum chamber, which is then filtered, condensed, and dehydrated before entering the vacuum pump. This reduces the load on the vacuum pump and is beneficial to its normal operation.

[0050] 2. The tobacco leaf vacuum rehumidifier of this intelligent combined vacuum device uses multiple front-stage screw vacuum pumps in parallel. The load is large at startup, and multiple screw vacuum pumps are turned on. However, as the load decreases in the later stages of evacuation, some of the screw vacuum pumps can be turned off to reduce energy consumption. The combination of multiple Roots vacuum pumps and screw vacuum pumps allows for timely adjustment of the combination according to changes in the evacuation load. Furthermore, if any of the Roots vacuum pumps and screw vacuum pumps malfunctions, the combination can be adjusted promptly to ensure equipment operation and avoid equipment downtime due to sudden failures, which could affect the operation of the entire production line.

[0051] 3. For the tobacco vacuum rehumidifier of this intelligent combined vacuum device, a large-volume vacuum chamber requires a vacuum pump with a large air extraction capacity. However, if multiple small-capacity vacuum pumps are used in parallel, the procurement cost is actually lower and the economy is better.

[0052] 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.
