Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco drying rack technology, specifically a tobacco drying rack with stems. Background Technology
[0002] Tobacco is a plant belonging to the genus Nicotiana in the Solanaceae family. It is an annual or short-lived perennial herb, entirely covered with glandular hairs. It has a stout root, a stem 0.7-2 meters tall, slightly woody at the base, and leaves that are oblong-lanceolate, lanceolate, oblong, or ovate, with an acuminate apex and a gradually narrowed base that auricles and semi-amplexicaul. Generally, tobacco processing requires the use of tobacco racks, and the curing process plays a decisive role in the formation of tobacco leaf quality. Curing with the stem, as an advanced curing technique, has been widely promoted and applied both domestically and internationally in recent years.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN214677522U discloses a tobacco drying rack for tobacco processing, comprising a fixed base plate, two correspondingly distributed support plates fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed base plate, a rotating shaft rotatably connected inside the two support plates, the rotating shaft passing through one of the support plates, a first transmission wheel fixedly mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft, a snap-fit plate fixedly mounted on the outside of the fixed base plate, a motor fixedly mounted on the top of the snap-fit plate, a second transmission wheel fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor, a transmission belt rotatably connecting the second transmission wheel and the first transmission wheel, a tobacco rack body disposed on the top of the rotating shaft, and four correspondingly distributed snap-fit blocks fixedly mounted on the bottom of the tobacco rack body. This utility model uses the rotating shaft to drive the tobacco rack to rotate for drying, resulting in more even drying. The clamps and fixing belts securely fix the tobacco to the tobacco rack, preventing it from falling off during drying.
[0004] However, this utility model can only hang a small amount of tobacco during use. At the same time, rotating the tobacco during the drying process will cause some tobacco leaves to fail to hang down properly, resulting in the tobacco leaves tangling after drying and shaping, which affects the drying effect and cannot meet the production needs. Therefore, a tobacco drying and hanging rack with stems is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a tobacco drying rack with stems, which has the advantage of being able to hang a large amount of tobacco. This solves the problem that existing tobacco racks can only hang a small amount of tobacco, and that rotating the tobacco during the drying process causes some tobacco leaves to not hang properly, resulting in the tobacco leaves tangling after drying and shaping, affecting the drying effect and failing to meet production needs.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tobacco drying rack with stems, comprising a base and two support columns fixedly connected to the top of the base, with a drive box fixedly connected to the top of each of the two support columns, and a hanging structure capable of suspending a large number of tobacco leaves provided on the top of the base;
[0007] The suspension structure includes two fixed blocks disposed on the top of the support column, a first suspension rod fixedly connected between the two fixed blocks, an adjusting sleeve slidably connected to the outside of each of the two support columns, a second suspension rod fixedly connected between the two adjusting sleeves, a threaded post extending into the front of the adjusting sleeve being threadedly connected, and a pressure plate being rotatably connected to one end of the threaded post located inside the adjusting sleeve.
[0008] Furthermore, a rotating handle is fixedly connected to the front of the threaded column, the clamping plate abuts against the support column, and a collection box extending to the front of the base is slidably connected inside the base.
[0009] Furthermore, the number of adjustment sleeves is four, and the four adjustment sleeves are evenly distributed on the outside of the two support columns.
[0010] Furthermore, the drive housing is rotatably connected to a threaded sleeve extending to its top, and a worm gear located inside the drive housing is fixedly connected to the outside of the threaded sleeve. The drive housing is rotatably connected to a worm that meshes with the worm gear.
[0011] Furthermore, the threaded sleeve has an internal threaded connection to a threaded rod extending to the top of the drive box, and a crank handle capable of rotating the worm gear is rotatably connected to one side of the drive box.
[0012] Furthermore, the bottom end of the threaded rod extends into the interior of the support column, and the top end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixing block.
[0013] Furthermore, a connecting shaft is rotatably connected between the two drive boxes, and the two ends of the connecting shaft are respectively fixedly connected to two worm gears.
[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the base is rotatably connected to four movable wheels, which are evenly distributed on the bottom of the base.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a tobacco drying rack with stems, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This tobacco drying rack with stems, by setting a fixing block and a first hanging rod, can hang tobacco. By turning the crank, the crank can drive the worm gear to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel to rotate, thus facilitating the adjustment of the height of the threaded rod, and in turn, the height of the first hanging rod can be adjusted. This allows the staff to adjust the height according to the length of the tobacco, saving some space.
[0017] 2. This tobacco drying rack with stems features two second hanging rods, significantly increasing the number of tobacco leaves that can be hung. Rotating the handle drives the threaded column to rotate, facilitating adjustment of the adjusting sleeve's position. This allows for adjustment of the spacing between the two second hanging rods based on the tobacco's length, ensuring thorough drying. This solves the problems of existing racks that can only hang a small amount of tobacco and that rotating the tobacco during drying causes some leaves to tangle after drying and shaping, affecting the drying effect and failing to meet production requirements.
