[0025] The end of the circulating air duct 401 away from the circulating fan 4 passes through the top of the rehumidification box 1 and extends into the interior of the rehumidification box 1. The top of the tobacco leaf platform 5 has an inward groove for placing the tobacco leaf tray 501. The tobacco leaf platform 5 and the tobacco leaf tray 501 are detachable, which makes it easy to put in and take out tobacco leaves. The top of the humidification water tank 7 is provided with a water inlet for water filling.

[0026] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A misting pump 701 is installed on the top of the humidifying water tank 7. A humidifying main pipe 702 is installed at the outlet of the misting pump 701. A humidifying branch pipe 703 is symmetrically connected to the outside of the humidifying main pipe 702. One end of the humidifying branch pipe 703 passes through the rehumidification box 1 and is connected to a high-pressure misting nozzle 704. The drive ends of two sets of electric push rods 8 are connected to a fixed crossbar 801. A forward and reverse motor 802 is installed at the front end of the fixed crossbar 801. The output end of the forward and reverse motor 802 passes through the inside of the fixed crossbar 801 and is connected to a bidirectional screw 803. A screw sleeve 804 is symmetrically threaded on the outside of the bidirectional screw 803. A dispersing rod 805 is installed on the outside of the screw sleeve 804. Rubber dispersing teeth 806 are evenly arranged at the bottom of the dispersing rod 805.

[0027] The control panel is located on the outside of the door 2. The control panel is connected to the circulating fan 4, heater 402, temperature and humidity sensor 6, atomizing pump 701, electric push rod 8, and forward and reverse motor 802 by wires.

[0028] The working process of this utility model is as follows: In use, tobacco leaves are spread evenly on a tobacco leaf tray 501 and then placed on a tobacco leaf rack 5 inside the rehumidification chamber 1. The chamber door 2 is then closed. Water from the humidification water tank 7 is sprayed through a humidification pipe and then through a high-pressure atomizing nozzle 704 via an atomizing pump 701 for concentrated or dispersed humidification. Multiple sets of high-pressure atomizing nozzles 704 at different heights and positions cover the tobacco leaves to ensure uniform humidification. Humidity is monitored in real time by a temperature and humidity sensor 6. A circulating fan 4 provides forced airflow, and a heater 402... Wind power heating accelerates the flow of hot and humid air, promoting moisture penetration and temperature equalization. By activating the electric push rod 8, the fixed crossbar moves downward until the rubber scattering teeth 806 contact the tobacco leaves. Then, the forward and reverse motor 802 starts, driving the bidirectional screw 803 to rotate. This drives the two sets of screw sleeves 804 to move in the same or opposite directions, causing multiple sets of rubber scattering teeth 806 on the scattering rod 805 to guide the tobacco leaves to tumble and move. This promotes the penetration of moisture from the leaf surface to the interior, achieving uniform moisture content in the inner and outer layers of the tobacco leaves, thereby improving the rehumidification properties of the tobacco leaves.
