AI Technical Summary
Traditional tobacco drying racks have defects in air circulation and light and heat utilization, resulting in uneven drying of tobacco leaves and affecting color quality.
Design a photothermal coupling water loss rack that includes an outer frame, an inner layer, a breathable placement net, and ventilation ducts. The outer frame is a rectangular closed frame, the inner layer separates the upper and lower spaces, the ventilation ducts guide airflow, and the breathable placement net facilitates the handling and cleaning of tobacco leaves.
It achieves uniform heating and stable water loss of tobacco leaves, significantly improves color uniformity, reduces the risk of local discoloration and mold, and extends equipment life.

Abstract
Claims
1. A photo-thermal coupling dehydration rack for improving the color of tobacco leaves, characterized by: The system includes an outer frame, an inner interlayer, a breathable mesh, and a ventilation duct. The outer frame is a rectangular closed frame with an open top. The inner interlayer is a horizontally arranged plate-like structure, fixedly installed inside the outer frame and dividing the interior of the outer frame into an upper placement space and a lower ventilation space. The edge of the inner interlayer is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the outer frame. The breathable mesh is laid horizontally on the upper surface of the inner interlayer, and its edge is detachably connected to the inner sidewall of the outer frame. The ventilation duct is a hollow tubular structure, with one end penetrating the side of the outer frame and fixedly connected to it, and the other end extending into the lower ventilation space below the inner interlayer and spaced apart from the lower surface of the inner interlayer. Multiple air outlets are evenly distributed on the section of the ventilation duct located in the lower ventilation space, and the opening direction of the air outlets faces the breathable mesh.
2. The light-heat coupling dehydration rack for improving color of tobacco leaves according to claim 1, characterized in that, The bottom of the outer frame is provided with support feet, which are columnar structures and are vertically fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the outer frame. The height of the support feet is greater than the diameter of the ventilation duct.
3. The light-heat coupling dehydration rack for improving color of tobacco leaves according to claim 2, characterized in that, The inner interlayer is a perforated metal plate with vents, the vents being evenly distributed on the surface of the inner interlayer, and the thickness of the inner interlayer is 5-10mm.
4. The light-heat coupling dehydration rack for improving color of tobacco leaves according to claim 3, characterized in that, The breathable mesh is woven from stainless steel wire with a diamond-shaped mesh.
