Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application (for ease of description and understanding, hereinafter referred to as...), Figure 2 (The above is described above). All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-3This application provides a technical solution: a tobacco leaf fragmentation device for extracting nicotine from waste tobacco leaves, including a main support frame 1, a tobacco leaf placement chamber 6 is provided on the main support frame 1, and a drive unit for driving the tobacco leaf placement chamber 6 to rotate is provided on the main support frame 1.

[0019] The main support frame 1 serves as the basic framework for the entire device, providing a stable support structure and ensuring the stability of the equipment.

[0020] The tobacco leaf placement chamber 6 is a space for storing waste tobacco leaves to be processed. Inside, a shredding blade 18 is used for preliminary cutting and processing of the tobacco leaves. The tobacco leaf placement chamber 6 can rotate, allowing the tobacco leaves to be evenly subjected to mechanical force within the chamber, achieving more effective pre-processing. The tobacco leaf placement chamber 6 is also equipped with temperature and humidity sensors to monitor the environmental conditions inside the chamber.

[0021] Specifically, the drive assembly includes an auxiliary motor 13, a bearing housing 14, a sprocket 12, and a toothed chain 5 disposed on the outside of the tobacco leaf storage bin 6. The auxiliary motor 13 is mounted on the main support frame 1 by fasteners, and the sprocket 12 is located on the bearing housing 14. The sprocket 12 meshes with the toothed chain 5 disposed on the outside of the tobacco leaf storage bin 6.

[0022] The auxiliary motor 13 is mounted on the main support frame 1, which has a strip hole to facilitate fine-tuning of the auxiliary motor 13.

[0023] The bearing housing 14 supports the sprocket 12, ensuring its smooth and efficient rotation. By reducing friction, the service life of the equipment is extended, and operating efficiency is improved.

[0024] The sprocket 12 receives power from the auxiliary motor 13 and transmits this force to the toothed chain 5. This effectively converts and transmits mechanical energy.

[0025] Specifically, a transmission wheel is provided on the bearing housing 14, and the transmission wheel is connected to the output end of the auxiliary motor 13 through a transmission belt, thereby realizing the transmission of force.

[0026] The toothed chain 5 is located on the outside of the tobacco leaf storage bin 6 and meshes with the sprocket 12. When the sprocket 12 rotates, the toothed chain 5 moves accordingly, driving the tobacco leaf storage bin 6 to rotate, ensuring a uniform distribution of force, enabling the tobacco leaf storage bin 6 to rotate smoothly, and facilitating the uniform mixing and processing of the internal materials.

[0027] The inner wall of the tobacco leaf placement chamber 6 is provided with a shredding fixed blade 18. The left end of the tobacco leaf placement chamber 6 is provided with a shredding motor 8. The output end of the shredding motor 8 is sleeved with a moving shredding assembly. The moving shredding assembly includes a rotating main shaft 17 and shredding moving blades 19. The shredding moving blades 19 are staggered on the outer side of the rotating main shaft 17.

[0028] The shredding blades 18 are fixed to the inner wall of the tobacco leaf placement chamber 6. As the tobacco leaf placement chamber 6 rotates, the tobacco leaves continuously come into contact with these blades, thus achieving a continuous cutting effect. The three irregularly arranged blade shapes increase the diversity and efficiency of cutting.

[0029] The shredder motor 8 is electrically driven, which enables the rotating spindle 17 connected to its output end to rotate at high speed, receiving power from the shredder motor 8 and driving the shredder blade 19 on it to rotate.

[0030] The blades of the shredding blade 19 are alternately mounted on the rotating main shaft 17. When the rotating main shaft 17 rotates at high speed, the shredding blade 19 rotates rapidly accordingly, further refining the initially cut tobacco leaves. This ensures that the tobacco leaves are uniformly and thoroughly pulverized, facilitating the subsequent extraction process.

[0031] A heating unit is provided at the right end of the tobacco leaf storage chamber 6. The heating unit includes a fan 15 and a heating wire 16, with the fan 15 located to the right of the heating wire 16.

[0032] The heating unit is used to dry the cut tobacco leaves to remove excess moisture, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of subsequent nicotine extraction.

[0033] The blower 15 blows air toward the heating wire 16, which serves as a heat source. When energized, the heating wire 16 generates heat, which is then delivered into the tobacco leaf storage chamber 6 by the airflow. The blower 15 ensures that the heat is evenly distributed throughout the tobacco leaf storage chamber 6, thereby heating and drying the tobacco leaves.

[0034] The heating unit is also equipped with an outer casing 2, which has an electrical connector 3 for connecting to an external power source.

[0035] Furthermore, the main support frame 1 is also provided with a guide wheel support 11, and the guide wheel support 11 is provided with an auxiliary guide wheel 10. The auxiliary guide wheel 10 is connected to the auxiliary guide roller 7 provided on the outside of the tobacco leaf placement chamber 6.

[0036] The guide wheel support 11 is used to support and fix the auxiliary guide wheel 10. This ensures that the auxiliary guide wheel 10 can stably cooperate with the auxiliary guide roller 7 on the outside of the tobacco leaf storage bin 6. The auxiliary guide wheel 10 contacts the auxiliary guide roller 7 on the outside of the tobacco leaf storage bin 6 and allows it to rotate. This reduces the friction between the tobacco leaf storage bin 6 and the support structure during rotation, thereby ensuring that the tobacco leaf storage bin 6 can rotate smoothly and steadily.

[0037] Furthermore, two door panels 4 are hinged to the tobacco leaf storage compartment 6.

[0038] The door panel 4 is hinged to one side of the tobacco leaf storage bin 6, which facilitates the following activities for operators: loading and unloading. When it is necessary to add waste tobacco leaves into the tobacco leaf storage bin 6 or take out processed materials from it, these operations can be completed by opening the door panel 4.

[0039] Furthermore, the shredding blade 18 is located on the inner wall of the tobacco leaf storage chamber 6, and it is divided into three types of blades, which are irregularly arranged on the inner wall of the tobacco leaf storage chamber 6.

[0040] Furthermore, the two ends of the tobacco leaf placement chamber 6 are equipped with movable connecting sleeves. The left connecting sleeve is equipped with a crushing motor 8, and the right connecting sleeve is equipped with a heating unit.

[0041] The tobacco leaf storage chamber 6 has movable connecting sleeves at both ends, allowing it to be easily connected to or separated from other components (such as the shredder motor 8 and the heating unit). This movable design facilitates the assembly, disassembly, and maintenance of the equipment.

[0042] The connecting sleeve is equipped with a bearing assembly that rotates with the tobacco leaf storage chamber 6. This structure ensures that when the tobacco leaf storage chamber 6 rotates, the heating assembly and the crushing motor 8 located on the connecting sleeve remain in a fixed position.

[0043] Furthermore, an auxiliary support 9 is provided at the left end of the main support frame 1, and the auxiliary support 9 is in contact with the connecting sleeve provided at the left end.

[0044] In use: Open the two hinged door panels 4 on the tobacco leaf placement chamber 6, evenly place the waste tobacco leaves to be processed into the tobacco leaf placement chamber 6, close and lock the door panels 4 to ensure that they will not be accidentally opened during operation, start the auxiliary motor 13, and drive the tobacco leaf placement chamber 6 to start rotating through the sprocket 12 and toothed chain 5. At this time, the shredding fixed blade 18 in the tobacco leaf placement chamber 6 will perform preliminary cutting of the tobacco leaves as the chamber rotates. At the same time, start the shredding motor 8 to make the rotating main shaft 17 and the shredding moving blade 19 on it rotate at high speed to further refine the tobacco leaves after preliminary cutting. The rotation direction of the tobacco leaf placement chamber 6 is opposite to the rotation direction of the rotating main shaft 17. After the cutting is completed, start the heating group, that is, turn on the fan 15 and turn on the heating wire 16 to heat it. Hot air is blown into the tobacco leaf storage chamber 6 by the blower 15 to dry the cut tobacco leaves, removing excess moisture and preparing them for subsequent nicotine extraction. The speed of the blower 15 and the power of the heating wire 16 are adjusted according to the actual situation to control the degree and speed of drying. After drying is completed, all motors and heating components are stopped, and the door panel 4 on the tobacco leaf storage chamber 6 is opened again to take out the processed tobacco leaves, ready to enter the next step of the nicotine extraction process.

[0045] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
