[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of steam nozzle cleaning equipment, and in particular to a steam nozzle cleaning device for a tunnel-type rehumidification machine for tobacco processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of a tunnel-type rehumidification machine for tobacco processing, the steam nozzle is a key component, and its cleanliness directly affects product quality and production efficiency. However, traditional cleaning methods face multiple challenges. First, manual or semi-automatic cleaning tools often cannot penetrate deep into the steam nozzle, making it difficult to thoroughly remove attached tobacco residue and grease, resulting in unsatisfactory cleaning effects. Second, the cleaning process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to uneven cleaning or omissions due to human factors. Furthermore, with the accelerated pace of production, frequent shutdowns for cleaning severely impact the continuity and capacity of the production line.

[0003] Furthermore, during the long-term operation of the tobacco processing tunnel-type rehumidification machine, the steam nozzle cleaning device faces severe challenges in terms of stability and durability. Traditional devices, due to unreasonable structural design and inappropriate material selection, are prone to component wear, loosening, and even breakage, seriously affecting the normal operation of the production line. In addition, high maintenance costs and long repair cycles are also significant factors limiting the service life of traditional devices. Therefore, we provide a steam nozzle cleaning device for the tobacco processing tunnel-type rehumidification machine. Utility Model Content

A fixing plate is placed on the inner wall of the rectangular placement groove, and the surface of the fixing plate has through holes corresponding to multiple cleaning rods. A cleaning cotton sleeve is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing plate and around the through holes for wearing around the cleaning rods to clean the inner wall of the steam nozzle. A limiting structure is connected between the mounting plate and the fixing plate.

[0007] The limiting structure includes a strip-shaped placement groove on the side of the mounting plate, a movable sleeve block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the strip-shaped placement groove, a U-shaped limiting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the movable sleeve block, and the inner top wall of the U-shaped limiting plate is flush with the lower end surface of the fixed plate to limit the downward movement of the fixed plate. A reset component is connected between the strip-shaped placement groove and the movable sleeve block.

[0008] Furthermore, the reset assembly includes a horizontal fixing rod fixedly connected between the two end walls of the strip-shaped mounting groove, a spring sleeved around the horizontal fixing rod, and the movable sleeve block slidably sleeved around the horizontal fixing rod.

[0009] Furthermore, a disassembly / reassembly component connects the rectangular placement slot and the cleaning insert;

[0010] The assembly and disassembly components include a insertion hole formed in the bottom wall of a rectangular placement slot and an iron insertion rod fixedly installed at the end of the cleaning insertion rod. The inner bottom wall of the insertion hole is inlaid with a magnetic block.

[0011] Furthermore, the iron insert rod is inserted into the inner wall of the insertion hole, and the inner diameter of the insertion hole is compatible with the outer diameter of the iron insert rod.
