Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco curing technology, specifically to an optimized arrangement system for sensors in dense tobacco curing barns. Background Technology

[0002] In the intensive tobacco curing process, multiple sensors are typically required to accurately monitor and control parameters such as temperature and humidity within the curing barn. However, the traditional fixed sensor placement causes inconvenience during tobacco loading and unloading and may affect the curing effect. Therefore, a sensor placement system that allows for flexible adjustment of sensor positions is needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an optimized arrangement system for sensors in dense tobacco curing barns, in order to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] An optimized arrangement system for dense tobacco curing barn sensors further includes a sensor arrangement frame. The sensor arrangement frame includes a support frame horizontally set on the left and right side walls inside the tobacco curing barn. The support frame includes two rigid tubes and a connecting rod inserted between the two tubes. The outer side of the two rigid tubes is provided with a base fixed to the side wall of the tobacco curing barn. The support frame has multiple elastic telescopic structures equidistantly arranged in the length direction. The elastic telescopic structures have multiple sensors equidistantly arranged in the vertical direction.

[0006] Furthermore, the elastic telescopic structure includes a long spring and a wire feeding device. Multiple sensors are fixed at equal intervals on the long spring. The wire feeding device is fixed to the rigid tube body. The long spring is fixed below the wire feeding device. The wire feeding device is provided with a fixed line that is connected and fixed to the lowest sensor and the distance between the sensors can be adjusted by tightening or loosening.

[0007] Furthermore, the wire feeding device also includes a fixed wire roller and an adjusting motor for rotation drive. The adjusting motor drives the fixed wire roller to rotate, thereby tightening or loosening the fixed wire and adjusting the distance between the sensors.

[0008] Furthermore, multiple support frames are equidistantly arranged in the front-to-back direction inside the tobacco curing barn, which can more comprehensively cover the internal space of the tobacco curing barn and improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of monitoring.

[0009] Furthermore, the elastic telescopic structure is equipped with sensors that are the same number as the number of tobacco layers, so that each layer of tobacco leaves can be accurately monitored to ensure that the tobacco leaves are cured evenly.

[0010] Furthermore, a telescopic spring is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod, with its two ends fixed to the rigid tubes on both sides. The telescopic spring provides cushioning when the support frame is subjected to external forces, and also facilitates adjustment of the support frame's length to accommodate tobacco curing barns of different sizes.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. Through the elastic telescopic structure and wire feeding device, the distance between sensors and the position of the sensors can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual curing needs, adapting to different curing room layouts and tobacco leaf placement methods.

[0013] 2. Multiple support frames are equidistantly installed along the front-to-back direction inside the tobacco curing barn, and each elastic telescopic structure is equipped with the same number of sensors as the tobacco curing layers. This enables comprehensive and accurate monitoring of various parameters at different locations and heights within the tobacco curing barn, ensuring that parameter monitoring during the tobacco curing process is thorough and without blind spots.

[0014] 3. The rigid tubular body and base of the support frame ensure the structural stability of the entire system. The extension spring not only provides cushioning but also allows for easy adjustment of the support frame length, enhancing the system's adaptability and stability.

[0015] 4. Accurate and comprehensive parameter monitoring can help operators adjust the curing process in a timely manner, improve the curing quality and efficiency of tobacco leaves, and reduce the defect rate. Attached Figure Description

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment of an optimized sensor arrangement system for a dense tobacco curing barn includes a tobacco curing barn 1 and a sensor arrangement frame 11. The sensor arrangement frame includes a support frame 2 horizontally mounted on the left and right side walls of the tobacco curing barn. The support frame includes two rigid tubes 3 and a connecting rod 4 inserted between the two tubes. A base 5, fixed to the side wall of the tobacco curing barn, is provided on the outer side of the two rigid tubes. Multiple elastic telescopic structures 12 are equidistantly arranged along the length of the support frame. The elastic telescopic structures are vertically arranged, and multiple sensors 6 are equidistantly arranged in the vertical direction. The sensor arrangement frame includes a support frame horizontally mounted on the left and right side walls of the tobacco curing barn. The support frame includes two rigid tubes and a connecting rod inserted between the two tubes. A base, fixed to the side wall of the tobacco curing barn, is provided on the outer side of the two rigid tubes. Multiple elastic telescopic structures are equidistantly arranged along the length of the support frame.

[0029] The tobacco curing barn, as an enclosed space for tobacco leaf curing, provides the application environment for the entire sensor deployment system. The support frame, horizontally mounted on the left and right side walls of the barn, consists of two rigid tubes, a connecting rod inserted between the two tubes, and a base fixed to the side wall of the barn on the outside of the rigid tubes. The rigid tubes, with their high strength and rigidity, provide structural support and load-bearing capacity for the support frame; the connecting rod connects and fixes the rigid tubes, maintaining the overall shape of the support frame; and the base ensures the support frame is stably installed on the side wall of the barn, preventing swaying and displacement. Furthermore, the support frame has multiple elastic telescopic structures equidistantly arranged along its length, and each elastic telescopic structure has multiple sensors equidistantly arranged within it. These elastic telescopic structures carry and distribute the sensors, allowing them to be rationally positioned in different locations within the barn. The sensors monitor various parameters within the barn in real time, such as temperature, humidity, and gas composition, and transmit the data to the control system, providing operators with a basis for adjusting the curing process. The elastic telescopic structures are arranged vertically, so that changes in their length are directly reflected in a one-to-one distance change to the sensors.

[0030] Furthermore, the elastic telescopic structure includes a long spring 7 and a wire feeding device 8. Multiple sensors are fixed at equal intervals on the long spring, the wire feeding device is fixed on the rigid tube, the long spring is fixed below the wire feeding device, and a fixed line 9 is provided inside the wire feeding device, which is connected and fixed to the lowest sensor and the distance between the sensors can be adjusted by tightening or loosening.

[0031] The elastic telescopic structure consists of a long spring and a wire-feeding device. Multiple sensors are equidistantly fixed to the long spring. Utilizing its elasticity, the spring can move the sensors vertically up and down to adapt to different monitoring needs, such as adjusting the sensors to different tobacco leaf stacking layers. The wire-feeding device is fixed to a rigid tube and contains a fixing wire. One end of the fixing wire is connected to the bottommost sensor. By tightening or loosening the fixing wire, the distance between the sensors can be adjusted to suit different tobacco curing barn layouts and tobacco leaf stacking methods, ensuring accurate monitoring of each tobacco leaf stacking layer.

[0032] Furthermore, the wire feeding device also includes a fixed wire roller and an adjusting motor for rotation drive. The adjusting motor drives the fixed wire roller to rotate, thereby tightening or loosening the fixed wire and adjusting the distance between the sensors.

[0033] The wire feeding device includes a fixed wire roller (not shown) and an adjusting motor (not shown). The adjusting motor provides rotational driving force to the fixed wire roller, thereby tightening or loosening the fixed wire and precisely adjusting the distance between the sensors. This allows the sensors to accurately monitor parameters at different positions and heights within the tobacco curing barn. Operators can flexibly adjust the sensor spacing by controlling the operation of the adjusting motor to meet diverse monitoring needs.

[0034] Furthermore, multiple support frames are equidistantly arranged along the front-to-back direction inside the tobacco curing barn, which can more comprehensively cover the interior space of the tobacco curing barn and improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of monitoring.

[0035] Multiple support frames are equidistantly installed along the front-to-back direction inside the tobacco curing barn. The specific number of support frames can be determined according to their size. This arrangement can more comprehensively cover the interior space of the tobacco curing barn. Compared with a single or a small number of support frames, it can effectively avoid monitoring blind spots and significantly improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of monitoring various parameters inside the tobacco curing barn. This ensures that parameters such as temperature, humidity, and gas composition in each area can be accurately obtained during the tobacco curing process, providing reliable data support for the uniform curing of tobacco leaves.

[0036] Furthermore, the elastic telescopic structure is equipped with sensors that are the same number as the number of tobacco layers, so that each layer of tobacco leaves can be accurately monitored to ensure that the tobacco leaves are cured evenly.

[0037] The elastic telescopic structure is equipped with sensors that correspond to the number of tobacco layers. This design ensures that each layer of tobacco leaves has a corresponding sensor for parameter monitoring, guaranteeing that parameters such as temperature, humidity, and gas composition at different heights of the tobacco leaves can be monitored in real time and accurately. This ensures that the tobacco leaves are heated evenly during the curing process, avoiding local over- or under-curing and effectively improving the curing quality of the tobacco leaves.

[0038] Furthermore, a telescopic spring 10 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod, with both ends of the spring fixed to the rigid tubes on both sides. The telescopic spring provides cushioning when the support frame is subjected to external forces, and also facilitates adjustment of the length of the support frame to accommodate tobacco curing barns of different sizes, making installation convenient.

[0039] A telescopic spring is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod, with both ends of the spring fixed to the rigid tubes on both sides. When the support frame is subjected to external force, the telescopic spring provides cushioning, effectively preventing damage to the support frame due to external impact and protecting the support frame structure. At the same time, the extension and retraction of the telescopic spring facilitates the adjustment of the support frame length, allowing it to adapt to different sizes of tobacco curing barns. This enhances the installation adaptability and versatility of the entire sensor placement system, enabling its application in various specifications of tobacco curing barns.

[0040] During actual installation, first determine the number and installation location of the support frames based on the dimensions of the tobacco curing barn and the way the tobacco leaves are arranged. Secure the base of the support frames to the left and right side walls of the tobacco curing barn using bolts or other methods, ensuring the support frames are level and stable.

[0041] Install a flexible telescopic structure, fix a long spring below the feeding device, and fix multiple sensors equidistantly on the long spring. Connect one end of the fixing wire to the bottommost sensor and fix it in place. The fixing wire passes through the long spring, and its other end is wound around the fixing roller. Start the adjusting motor, which drives the fixing roller to rotate, tightening or loosening the fixing wire, thereby adjusting the distance between the sensors. This ensures that the sensor positions correspond to the number of tobacco layers, guaranteeing that each layer of tobacco leaves is monitored by a sensor.

[0042] When the sensor position needs to be adjusted, the adjustment motor can be restarted. By controlling the tightening or loosening of the fixing cable, the long spring is extended or retracted, thereby adjusting the sensor's position in the vertical direction. Simultaneously, due to the telescopic spring sleeved on the external part of the connecting rod, the length of the support frame can also be adjusted appropriately according to actual needs to adapt to different installation environments.

[0043] During the tobacco curing process, sensors monitor parameters such as temperature, humidity, and gas composition inside the curing barn in real time and transmit the data to the control system. Operators can adjust the curing process promptly based on the monitoring data to ensure the quality of the cured tobacco.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
