Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco drying technology, and more specifically, to a stirring device for a tobacco drying tank. Background Technology

[0002] Tobacco processing is a crucial step in tobacco production. Its main task is to process tobacco leaves and stems into shredded tobacco that meets the required standards for use in cigarettes. The processing flow is mainly divided into several relatively independent stages: tobacco leaf processing, leaf shredding, stem shredding, and blending and flavoring. The drying tank plays a vital role in the tobacco processing process. It not only improves the quality of the shredded tobacco but also increases production efficiency and reduces costs, making it an indispensable key piece of equipment in tobacco production.

[0003] In the process of using common tobacco drying tanks on the market, workers only need to pour a large amount of tobacco into the drying tank to dry it. However, due to the lack of a stirring mechanism, the tobacco at the bottom of the drying tank has more comprehensive contact with the hot air inside the drying tank, while the tobacco on the upper layer has poor drying efficiency, resulting in uneven drying of the tobacco. Prolonged over-drying will lead to a significant reduction in the quality of the tobacco.

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

[0028] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0029] 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.

[0030] 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.

[0031] 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.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a tossing device for a tobacco drying tank, including: a tossing component 1, a rotating component 2, and a moving component 3.

[0033] There are two toggle components 1, and the two toggle components 1 are respectively connected to the rotation component 2.

[0034] The actuating assembly 1 includes an actuating element 11, a connecting rod 12, and a first stroke column 14. The first end of the connecting rod 12 is connected to the actuating element 11, which is located inside the drying tank 5. The second end of the connecting rod 12 is provided with a U-shaped groove 13. The first end of the first stroke column 14 is connected to the rotating assembly 2, and the second end of the first stroke column 14 is located in the U-shaped groove 13. The rotating assembly 2 is used to drive the first stroke column 14 to move in a circular motion.

[0035] Specifically, the length of the U-shaped groove 13 is less than the length of the connecting rod 12. Under the action of the connecting rod 12, the actuating element 11 extends into the interior of the drying tank 5.

[0036] The drying tank 5 is equipped with a placement platform 51 for placing tobacco materials. A drying device 6 is also installed outside the drying tank 5, which is connected to the interior of the drying tank 5 and is used to dry the tobacco inside the drying tank 5.

[0037] The moving component 3 is slidably mounted on the drying tank 5, and the rotating component 2 is fixed on the moving component 3, which is used to drive the moving component 3 and the actuating component 1 to move on the drying tank 5.

[0038] Specifically, the moving component 3 slides above the drying tank 5.

[0039] When in use, the operator starts the rotating component 2, which drives the first stroke column 14 to rotate. During the movement of the first stroke column 14, it squeezes the U-shaped groove 13 of the connecting rod 12, thereby driving the connecting rod 12 to rotate back and forth. The connecting rod 12 can drive the lower actuating member 11 to rotate back and forth, thereby causing the actuating member 11 to move the tobacco inside the drying tank 5 so that the tobacco comes into contact with the hot air inside the drying tank 5.

[0040] This invention connects the first end of the connecting rod 12 to the actuating member 11, and the second end of the connecting rod 12 is provided with a U-shaped groove 13. The first end of the first stroke column 14 is connected to the rotating component 2, and the second end of the first stroke column 14 is disposed in the U-shaped groove 13. The moving component 3 is slidably disposed on the drying tank 5, and the rotating component 2 is fixed on the moving component 3. In use, the rotating component 2 drives the first stroke column 14 to perform circumferential motion in the U-shaped groove 13, so that the first stroke column 14 acts on the connecting rod 12 and drives the connecting rod 12 to reciprocate. The connecting rod 12 can drive the actuating member 11 at its lower end to agitate the tobacco inside the drying tank 5, achieving continuous agitation and stirring of the tobacco, making the tobacco drying more uniform, increasing the tobacco drying efficiency, and effectively improving the tobacco quality.

[0041] In one embodiment of the agitator for a tobacco drying tank according to this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the actuating component 11 includes a fixed plate 111 and a actuating rod 112. The top of the fixed plate 111 is connected to the first end of the connecting rod 12. The actuating rod 112 is evenly spaced on both sides of the fixed plate 111 along its length, and is used to actuate the tobacco in the drying tank 5.

[0042] Specifically, when the first stroke column 14 moves and drives the connecting rod 12 to reciprocate, the fixed plate 111 reciprocates with the connecting rod 12, thereby causing multiple actuating rods 112 on both sides of the fixed plate 111 to insert into the tobacco. As the fixed plate 111 rotates, the tobacco is dispersed, so that the tobacco at the bottom of the drying tank 5 can be actuated to contact the hot air inside the drying tank 5. This improves the automation of the actuating device for the tobacco drying tank of this utility model, eliminates the need for manual turning of the tobacco, and effectively reduces the labor intensity of the operators.

[0043] In one embodiment of the agitator for a tobacco drying tank according to this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating assembly 2 includes a support disk 21, a dual-head motor 22, and a transmission part 23. The two ends of the dual-head motor 22 are respectively connected to the support disk 21, and the two ends of the transmission part 23 are respectively connected to the support disk 21 and the first end of the first stroke column 14.

[0044] This invention connects the two ends of a dual-head motor 22 to a support plate 21, and the two ends of a transmission part 23 to the support plate 21 and the first end of the first stroke column 14, respectively. The dual-head motor 22 drives the support plate 21 to rotate, and the rotation of the support plate 21 drives the first stroke column 14 to perform circular motion, thereby driving the connecting rod 12 to reciprocate, which further improves the working efficiency and the drying efficiency of tobacco.

[0045] In one embodiment of the agitator for a tobacco drying tank according to this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the transmission part 23 includes a transmission rod 231 and a second stroke column 232. The second stroke column 232 is disposed on the end face of the support plate 21 and is disposed near the edge of the support plate 21. The first end of the first stroke column 14 is connected to the first end of the transmission rod 231. The inner side wall of the second end of the transmission rod 231 is provided with a moving groove, and the second stroke column 232 is inserted into the moving groove.

[0046] Specifically, by placing the second stroke column 232 close to the edge of the support plate 21, the circumferential trajectory of the second stroke column 232 can be effectively increased, thereby making the rotation amplitude of the transmission rod 231 larger, so that the displacement of the fixed plate 111 and the actuating rod 112 is greater, thus enabling the tobacco inside the drying tank 5 to be turned over in all directions.

[0047] This invention utilizes a second stroke column 232 that moves in a circular trajectory. The outer surface of the second stroke column 232 can press against the inner wall of the transmission rod 231, causing the transmission rod 231 to move left and right. The transmission rod 231 can drive the first stroke column 14 to move together. The outer surface of the first stroke column 14 can press against the inner wall of the U-shaped groove 13, forcing the connecting rod 12 to rotate back and forth. The connecting rod 12 can drive the lower agitator 11 to agitate the tobacco inside the drying tank 5, thereby turning and frying the tobacco inside the drying tank 5, ensuring uniform contact between the tobacco and the hot air inside the drying tank 5.

[0048] In one embodiment of the agitator for a tobacco drying tank according to this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating assembly 2 also includes a limiting rod 24, a support plate 25, and a fixing ring 26. The limiting rod 24 is respectively disposed at both ends of the transmission rod 231, and the first end of the limiting rod 24 is connected to the second end of the transmission rod 231. The first end of the support plate 25 is connected to the moving assembly 3, and the second end of the support plate 25 is connected to the fixing ring 26. The fixing ring 26 is sleeved on the limiting rod 24.

[0049] Specifically, the fixing ring 26 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 24. There are four limiting rods 24, four supporting plates 25, and four fixing rings 26.

[0050] This utility model sets the limiting rods 24 at both ends of the transmission rod 231, connects the first end of the support plate 25 to the moving component 3, and connects the second end of the support plate 25 to the fixing ring 26. The fixing ring 26 is sleeved on the limiting rods 24. Through the cooperation of the limiting rods 24, the support plate 25, and the fixing ring 26, the movement direction of the transmission rod 231 and the limiting rods 24 can be limited, so that the transmission rod 231 can only move in the left and right directions.

[0051] In one embodiment of the agitator for a tobacco drying tank according to this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the moving component 3 includes a sliding groove 31, a moving plate 32, a threaded rod 33 and a servo motor 34 provided on the upper surface of the drying tank 5. The two ends of the moving plate 32 are slidably connected to the sliding groove 31. The threaded rod 33 passes through the moving plate 32 and is threadedly connected to the moving plate 32. The two ends of the threaded rod 33 are rotatably set on the drying tank 5. The servo motor 34 is connected to the threaded rod 33.

[0052] The rotating assembly 2 is mounted on the movable plate 32, the connecting rod 12 passes through the movable plate 32, and the actuating element 11 is located below the movable plate 32.

[0053] Specifically, the first end of the support plate 25 is fixed to the movable plate 32 by fastening bolts, which can increase the stability of the support plate 25 installed on the movable plate 32.

[0054] This utility model uses a servo motor 34 to drive the threaded rod 33 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 33 causes the moving plate 32 to move along the inner wall of the sliding groove 31. The moving plate 32 then drives the rotating component 2 and the actuating component 1 to move, indirectly driving the actuating component 11 to move, thereby increasing the actuating range of the actuating component 11 inside the drying tank 5.

[0055] In one embodiment of the agitator for a tobacco drying tank according to this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the movable plate 32 is provided with two openings 35. The inner walls of the two openings 35 are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the connecting rod 12 through a rotating shaft, and the two openings 35 provide rotation space for the connecting rod 12 to rotate.

[0056] In one embodiment of the actuating device for a tobacco drying tank of this utility model, in order to increase the stability of the connection between the moving plate 32 and the sliding groove 31, a snap-fit ​​plate 36 is provided at both ends of the moving plate 32, and the snap-fit ​​plate 36 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 31.

[0057] In one embodiment of the actuation device for a tobacco drying tank of this utility model, a fixing sleeve 4 is provided on the outer surface of the servo motor 34, and the bottom of the fixing sleeve 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the drying tank 5.

[0058] Specifically, there are three fixing sleeves 4, which are respectively set on the outer surfaces of the servo motor 34, the dual-head motor 22 and the threaded rod 33. The fixing sleeves 4 on the outside of the servo motor 34 and the threaded rod 33 are fixed to the upper surface of the drying tank 5, and the lower surface of the fixing sleeve 4 on the outside of the dual-head motor 22 is fixed to the upper surface of the moving plate 32. The fixing sleeves 4 mainly serve to fix and support the servo motor 34, the dual-head motor 22 and the threaded rod 33, and can also prevent impurities from entering the servo motor 34, the dual-head motor 22 and the threaded rod 33 and affecting their operation.

[0059] The working principle of this utility model:

[0060] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, during use, by activating the drying assembly, the dual-head motor 22, and the servo motor 34, both output ends of the dual-head motor 22 rotate simultaneously. The dual-head motor 22 drives the support plate 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the second stroke column 232 to move in a circular trajectory. The outer surface of the second stroke column 232 can press against the inner wall of the transmission rod 231, causing the transmission rod 231 to move left and right. The transmission rod 231 can drive the first stroke column 14 and the limiting rod 24 to move together. The limiting rod 24 slides along the inner wall of the fixed ring 26, while the second stroke column 14... The outer surface of the first stroke column 14 can press against the inner wall of the U-shaped groove 13, causing the connecting rod 12 to reciprocate. The connecting rod 12 can drive the fixed plate 111 at the lower end and the agitator 112 to move the tobacco inside the drying tank 5. At the same time, the servo motor 34 drives the threaded rod 33 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 33 can cause the moving plate 32 to move along the inner wall of the sliding groove 31. The moving plate 32 then drives the components on the upper surface to move, indirectly driving the agitator 11 to move, thus moving and stirring the tobacco inside the drying tank 5, accelerating the drying efficiency of the tobacco.

[0061] It should be noted that the servo motor 34 and the dual-head motor 22 are existing devices or equipment, or devices or equipment that can be implemented by existing technology. The specific composition and principle of the power supply of the servo motor 34 and the dual-head motor 22 are clear to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0062] 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.
