Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette production technology, and in particular to a defogging net and cigarette processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] During cigarette production, various processing steps such as tobacco leaf curing, tobacco shredding, cigarette rolling, and filter production inevitably generate odorous gases containing various components. These odorous gases are essentially complex particulate mixtures, mainly including water vapor, nicotine, tar, flavorings, and various particulate matter. Nicotine has a strong, pungent odor, tar contains various harmful substances, flavorings volatilize at high temperatures to form specific odor molecules, and particulate matter may be suspended in the gas as aerosols. These components not only pollute the production environment and affect the health of operators, but may also adversely affect the normal operation of subsequent production equipment. For example, they can cause sticky impurities to adhere to equipment surfaces, affecting equipment precision and lifespan. Therefore, effective treatment of these odorous gases is urgently needed.

[0003] Currently, for the treatment of odorous gases in cigarette production, existing technologies typically employ devices such as demisters to intercept and filter particulate mixtures in the gas. However, existing demisters generally suffer from structural defects: their main structure is relatively thin, with only a few wire mesh corrugated packings serving as the primary filtration units. This structural design results in limited dirt-holding capacity, and during long-term use, sticky impurities such as nicotine, tar, and flavorings, as well as particulate matter, easily adhere to the gaps and surfaces of the wire mesh corrugated packings. When cleaning and maintenance of the demister is required, due to the tightly packed packings and their fixed connection to the main structure, effective cleaning on the equipment is difficult. Often, the entire demister must be completely removed from the equipment, or even disassembled. This process is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but frequent disassembly can also damage the demister structure, affecting its filtration performance, severely reducing the convenience and efficiency of the production process, and increasing maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a defogging screen and cigarette processing equipment to solve the problem that the existing defogging screen has limited dirt-holding capacity and often requires the entire defogging screen to be completely removed from the equipment for cleaning, which is not only cumbersome to operate but may also damage the defogging screen structure due to frequent disassembly.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] On the one hand, a defogging mesh is provided, comprising:

[0007] A box body, wherein the box body has openings on both sides;

[0008] A flow guide plate is provided vertically inside the box and multiple flow guide plates are spaced apart horizontally. The flow guide plate is in the shape of a zigzag line.

[0009] The filter media is disposed between two adjacent guide plates and is used to adsorb water vapor and impurities in the gas.

[0010] A spray assembly is located at the top of the housing. The spray assembly is used to spray airflow and cleaning liquid onto the filter media. The cleaning liquid and impurities can flow along the guide plate to the bottom of the housing.

[0011] As an optional technical solution for the defogging screen, the guide plate includes multiple plate units arranged in a vertical direction. Each plate unit includes a vertical plate and an inclined plate. The vertical plate and the inclined plate are arranged alternately, and the inclination angles of two adjacent inclined plates are opposite. The free end of the vertical plate is connected to the inner wall of the box.

[0012] As an optional technical solution for the defogging screen, the guide plate also includes a bend, which corresponds one-to-one with the plate unit. The bend includes a vertical part and an inclined part. The inclined part has the same inclination angle as the inclined plate and is fixed to the inclined plate. The vertical part is parallel to the vertical plate, and the opening of the bend faces downward.

[0013] As an optional technical solution for the defogging net, the spray assembly includes a first pipe, a second pipe, a main spray pipe, branch spray pipes, and nozzles. The main spray pipe is connected to the branch spray pipes. Multiple branch spray pipes are located at the top of the housing and are spaced apart. Multiple nozzles are spaced apart on the branch spray pipes. Both the first pipe and the second pipe are connected to the main spray pipe. The first pipe is used to provide airflow to the main spray pipe, and the second pipe is used to provide cleaning liquid to the main spray pipe. The branch spray pipes spray atomized cleaning liquid onto the filter media through the nozzles.

[0014] As an optional technical solution for the defogging net, the spray assembly also includes a solenoid valve, which is located in the main spray pipeline to selectively clean the filter media.

[0015] As an optional technical solution for the defogging net, the defogging net also includes fixing members. The fixing members are multiple and are spaced apart along the vertical direction at the opening of the box. The fixing members are spaced apart along the horizontal direction with insertion slots. The insertion slots correspond one-to-one with the guide plates. The guide plates can be inserted into the insertion slots to be fixed to the fixing members.

[0016] As an optional technical solution for defogging nets, the distance between two adjacent guide plates is the same.

[0017] As an optional technical solution for the defogging screen, the box body is made of stainless steel.

[0018] As an optional technical solution for defogging mesh, the filter filler is a wire mesh corrugated filler.

[0019] On the other hand, a cigarette processing device is provided, including at least one of the above-mentioned defogging nets.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] This application discloses a defogging screen and cigarette processing equipment. The defogging screen includes a box body, guide plates, filter media, and a spray assembly. The box body has openings on both sides. Multiple guide plates are vertically arranged inside the box body and spaced horizontally, forming a zigzag shape. The filter media is disposed between adjacent guide plates and is used to adsorb water vapor and impurities in the gas. The spray assembly is located at the top of the box body and sprays airflow and cleaning liquid onto the filter media. The cleaning liquid and impurities can flow along the guide plates to the bottom of the box body. This application uses the filter media to adsorb particulate matter mixtures in the gas, the spray assembly to clean the filter media inside the box body, and the guide plates to guide the cleaning liquid and impurities to the bottom of the box body, preventing cleaning liquid and impurities from remaining in the filter media. This improves the convenience of cleaning the defogging screen and reduces the probability of damage to the defogging screen. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Existing technologies typically employ devices such as demisters to intercept and filter particulate mixtures in gases. However, existing demisters generally suffer from structural defects: their main structure is relatively thin, with only a few wire mesh corrugated packings serving as the primary filtration units. This design results in limited dirt-holding capacity, and during long-term use, sticky impurities such as nicotine, tar, and flavorings, as well as particulate matter, easily adhere to the gaps and surfaces of the wire mesh corrugated packings. When cleaning and maintenance are required, the tightly packed packings, fixedly connected to the main structure, make effective cleaning difficult on the equipment. Often, the entire demister must be completely removed from the equipment, sometimes even requiring disassembly of related components. This process is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but frequent disassembly can also damage the demister's structure, affecting its filtration performance, severely reducing the convenience and efficiency of the production process, and increasing maintenance costs.

[0034] To address the aforementioned problems, this embodiment provides a cigarette processing device, including at least one defogging screen. See also... Figure 1 The demisting net includes a housing 10, a guide plate 20, filter media, and a spray assembly 30. The housing 10 has openings on both sides. In this embodiment, the housing 10 is made of stainless steel. In other embodiments, the housing 10 can be made of plastic or resin. The guide plate 20 is vertically arranged inside the housing 10 and multiple guide plates are spaced apart horizontally. The guide plate 20 is zigzag-shaped. The filter media is disposed between two adjacent guide plates 20 and is used to adsorb water vapor and impurities in the gas. In this embodiment, the filter media is a wire mesh corrugated packing. In other embodiments, the filter media can also be activated carbon or molecular sieves. The spray assembly 30 is located at the top of the housing 10 and is used to spray airflow and cleaning liquid onto the filter media. The cleaning liquid and impurities can flow along the guide plate 20 to the bottom of the housing 10. By adsorbing particulate mixtures in the gas through the filter media, the spray assembly 30 can clean the filter media inside the housing 10. The guide plate 20 can guide the cleaning liquid and impurities to the bottom of the housing 10, avoiding the residue of cleaning liquid and impurities in the filter media, improving the convenience of cleaning the demister and reducing the chance of damaging the demister.

[0035] Specifically, the bottom of the box 10 is provided with a guide channel and a collection component. The cleaning liquid and impurities flow along the guide plate 20 into the guide channel and then into the collection component, thus completing the collection of waste liquid. Specifically, the collection component can be a collection tank or an outlet pipeline.

[0036] In this embodiment, the distance between any two adjacent guide plates 20 is the same. Specifically, the distance between any two adjacent guide plates 20 is 5 cm. Further, the guide plate 20 includes multiple plate units arranged vertically. Each plate unit includes a vertical plate 21 and an inclined plate 22, which are alternately arranged. The inclination angles of adjacent inclined plates 22 are opposite. The free end of the vertical plate 21 is connected to the inner wall of the box body 10. Specifically, the free end of the vertical plate 21 and the inner wall of the box body 10 can be connected by insertion, fasteners, or adhesive.

[0037] Furthermore, the guide plate 20 also includes a bend 23, which corresponds one-to-one with the plate unit. The bend 23 includes a vertical part and an inclined part. The inclined part has the same inclination angle as the inclined plate 22 and is fixed to the inclined plate 22. The vertical part is parallel to the vertical plate 21, and the opening of the bend 23 faces downward. The bend 23 prevents the cleaning liquid and impurities flowing down from top to bottom under the action of gravity from accumulating at the joints of the guide plate 20, thereby improving the cleanliness of the inside of the demister and increasing the service life of the demister.

[0038] Further, the spray assembly 30 includes a first pipe 31, a second pipe 32, a main spray pipe 33, branch spray pipes 34, and nozzles 35. The main spray pipe 33 is connected to the branch spray pipes 34. Multiple branch spray pipes 34 are located at the top of the housing 10 and are spaced apart. Multiple nozzles 35 are spaced apart on the branch spray pipes 34. Both the first pipe 31 and the second pipe 32 are connected to the main spray pipe 33. The first pipe 31 provides airflow to the main spray pipe 33, and the second pipe 32 provides cleaning liquid to the main spray pipe 33. The branch spray pipes 34 spray atomized cleaning liquid onto the filter media through the nozzles 35. In this embodiment, the first pipe 31 is used to introduce compressed air, and the second pipe 32 is used to introduce industrial soft water. Further, the spray assembly 30 also includes a solenoid valve located on the main spray pipe 33 to selectively clean the filter media. After the demisting screen has been working for a period of time (usually one shift or one workday), the solenoid valve automatically controls the industrial soft water and compressed air to enter the main spray line 33. After the industrial soft water is mixed with the compressed air, it is atomized and sprayed into the demisting screen through the nozzle 35 under the action of the compressed air. Under the action of pressure, the nicotine, tar and particulate matter adsorbed on the wire mesh corrugated packing in the demisting screen are driven to flow downwards quickly, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning the demisting screen.

[0039] Furthermore, the defogging screen also includes multiple fixing members 40, which are vertically spaced at the opening of the housing 10. Each fixing member 40 has a horizontally spaced insertion slot, which corresponds one-to-one with a guide plate 20. The guide plate 20 can be inserted into the insertion slot to be fixed to the fixing member 40. Specifically, the fixing member 40 is a stainless steel fixing rod. In other embodiments, the fixing member 40 can also be a connecting rope or adhesive silicone to bind or glue the guide plate 20, thereby fixing the position of the guide plate 20.

[0040] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
