It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0026] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods, and the materials and reagents used are commercially available. Unless otherwise specified, the equipment used in the experiments is well known to those skilled in the art.

[0027] See Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a tobacco curing device under ion wind environment, including a base plate 1, a vertical plate 2 fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the base plate 1, a roller 4 provided above the base plate 1 and rotatably connected to the vertical plate 2, a motor 5 for driving the roller 4 to rotate fixedly installed on the other side of the vertical plate 2, an end cover 6 provided on the open side of the roller 4, a support plate 7 fixedly connected to the side wall of the end cover 6, and an insertion connector for fixing the lower end position of the support plate 7 provided at the end of the base plate 1, an air supply component for blowing hot air downwards fixedly installed on the upper side of the inner wall of the end cover 6, and several air guiding and disturbance plates 9 provided below the air supply component.

[0028] As an optional implementation, four rollers 10 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the end cap 6. The four rollers 10 are evenly divided around the axis of the end cap 6, and the four rollers 10 simultaneously abut against the inner wall of the open end of the roller 4. The design of the four rollers 10 makes the roller 4 more stable when rotating.

[0029] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the plug-in connector includes a T-shaped insert 12 fixedly connected to the lower end of the support plate 7. A T-shaped slot 13 is provided at one end of the upper surface of the base plate 1 for inserting into the T-shaped insert 12. The T-shaped slot 13 contains a plug-in assembly 3 for fixing the position of the T-shaped insert 12. The plug-in assembly 3 includes a pin hole 3a on the T-shaped insert 12, into which a pin 3b is inserted. A fixing hole 3c is provided on the bottom surface of the T-shaped groove 13 for inserting into the pin 3b. The end of the pin 3b is fixedly connected to a magnetic plate 3d, and the magnetic plate 3d is magnetically connected to the iron T-shaped insert 12. After the end cover 6 is placed at the open end of the roller 4, the T-shaped insert 12 is inserted into the T-shaped slot 13. At this time, the four rollers 10 will be located inside the open end of the roller 4. Then, the pin 3b is inserted into the pin hole 3a and the fixing hole 3c at the same time to fix the position of the T-shaped insert 12. At the same time, the design of the magnetic plate 3d can prevent the pin 3b from falling off through magnetic force.

[0030] As an optional implementation, the air supply component includes an ion fan 8 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the end cover 6. The air outlet of the ion fan 8 faces downward, and the length of the ion fan 8 is adapted to the length of the drum 4. An electric heating rod 11 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the end cover 6. The electric heating rod 11 is located at the air outlet of the ion fan 8 and is adapted to the length of the air outlet. When the ion fan 8 blows air, it can drive the hot air around the electric heating plate 11 to flow and act on the surface of the tumbling tobacco. By placing the inlet and outlet of the ion fan 8 inside the drum 4, the hot air flow inside the drum 4 can be circulated, which can reduce heat loss to a certain extent. The ion fan 8 can effectively remove static electricity in the air, promote the yellowing of the tobacco in the drum 4, dry it quickly, effectively kill bacteria and fungi, and lock the aroma substances in the tobacco, thus improving the drying effect.

[0031] Reference Figure 3-4As shown, the airflow guiding and disturbing plate 9 includes an inclined plate 91 fixedly connected to the air outlet of the ion fan 8. The lower end of the inclined plate 91 has an inclination angle of 15-30 degrees. The heating plate 11 passes through several inclined plates 91 and is fixedly connected. The lower end of the inclined plate 91 is fixedly connected to a guide plate 92 that abuts against the inner wall of the drum 4. Both sides of the inclined plate 91 are fixedly connected to airflow guiding arc plates 93. The inclined design of the lower end of the inclined plate 91 allows the guide plate 92 to be located at the tumbling point of the tobacco in the drum 4, effectively acting directly on the tobacco. The design of the guide plate 92 and the inclined plate 91 can mix and disturb the pile of tobacco, improving the mixing effect. The design of the airflow guiding arc plate 93 allows the air blown out by the ion fan 8 to blow down along its arc surface, thereby directly acting on the tobacco and improving the drying efficiency.

[0032] Furthermore, a digital display controller 14 is fixedly installed on the surface of the end cap 6. The output end of the digital display controller 14 is electrically connected to the input end of the motor 5, the ion fan 8 and the heating rod 11 respectively. The digital display controller 14 can control the rotation of the motor 5, control the blowing of the ion fan 8, and control the heating temperature of the heating rod 11.

[0033] Using the above structure, tobacco shreds and related auxiliary materials are placed into the drum 4, and then the end cap 6 is installed at the open end of the drum 4. The lower end of the support plate 7 is fixed by the plug-in connector. The drum 4 is driven to rotate by the motor 5. At this time, the tobacco shreds and auxiliary materials inside continue to tumble. Then, the air supply component is controlled to deliver hot air downward inside the drum 4. By setting several guide and disturbance plates 9, the tumbling tobacco shreds can be disturbed and mixed. At the same time, the hot air blown out can be guided so that the hot air directly acts on the tumbling tobacco shreds until drying is completed.

[0034] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various different choices and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
