Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an auxiliary mechanism for tobacco material mixing and processing equipment, specifically a hot air inlet mechanism for tobacco material mixing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of tobacco shreds, it is often necessary to use appropriate mixing equipment to mix different batches of tobacco raw materials in order to produce suitable tobacco shreds. Traditional mixing equipment for tobacco shred processing mainly uses mechanical stirring equipment. However, because tobacco shreds are prone to entanglement on the mechanical stirring parts, the mixing process of tobacco shreds is difficult to control effectively.

[0003] To effectively solve the problem of entanglement between tobacco shreds and mechanical agitators, tobacco mixing equipment equipped with a spherical mixing container has begun to be used. A corresponding drive motor drives the spherical mixing container to rotate longitudinally, allowing the tobacco shreds to be continuously turned over within the container, effectively ensuring the mixing effect. While this effectively solves the entanglement problem, the relatively fixed direction of the turning results in a relatively low overall mixing effect and efficiency. To further improve the mixing effect, some manufacturers have begun to try adding airflow disturbance to enhance the mixing. However, because the air inlet cannot connect with the rotating spherical mixing container, the airflow disturbance method cannot be successfully implemented.

[0004] Therefore, the research objective of this utility model is to design a hot air inlet mechanism for tobacco mixing equipment that can effectively dock with a rotating spherical mixing container, thereby effectively pressurizing external air and adding it into the spherical mixing container to enhance the turning effect of tobacco materials through airflow disturbance, thus significantly improving the mixing effect and efficiency of tobacco materials. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a hot air inlet mechanism for a tobacco mixing equipment, which can effectively solve the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is: A hot air inlet mechanism for a tobacco blending device, the tobacco blending device comprising a spherical blending container longitudinally rotatably mounted on a corresponding support, the spherical blending container being driven by a drive motor mounted on the support, the hot air inlet mechanism comprising: A set of annular baffles are symmetrically fixed to both sides of the middle part of the spherical mixing container; Multiple one-way valves are connected at intervals to a spherical mixing container between a set of annular baffles; The air intake assembly includes an air intake pipe disposed on the outside of the spherical mixing container. The air intake end of the air intake pipe is connected to an external hot air source, and a corresponding cover is fixedly installed at the air outlet end of the air intake pipe. The cover is movably fitted between a set of annular baffles. The sealing connection mechanism includes a set of sealing strips protruding from the left and right sides of the cover, and the outer ends of the set of sealing strips are respectively movable and abut against the inner sidewall of the set of annular baffles.

[0007] The front and rear ends of the cover are respectively spaced apart from the outer wall of the spherical mixing container, and sealing rollers with their inner ends abutting against the outer wall of the spherical mixing container are rotatably installed inward.

[0008] The front and rear ends of the cover are respectively fixed inward with corresponding arc-shaped limiting plates, and the sealing roller is rotatably installed between the arc-shaped limiting plates and the spherical mixing container.

[0009] The sealing roller is made of high-temperature resistant rubber material, and the cross-section of the arc-shaped limiting plate is more than 1 / 2 circle.

[0010] The one-way valve includes an air guide tube connected to the spherical mixing container, and spheres that can form a closure at the ends of the air guide tube are movably installed inside the air guide tube via elastic elements.

[0011] The elastic element is a helical spring, and the inner end of the air guide tube is fixedly connected to a corresponding connecting rod. The ball is fixedly connected to the connecting rod by the helical spring.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows: 1) This utility model includes a set of annular baffles symmetrically fixed to both sides of the middle of a spherical mixing container, and then multiple one-way valves are connected at intervals to the spherical mixing container between the annular baffles. The air intake assembly is improved by including an air intake pipe located on the outside of the spherical mixing container. The air intake end of the air intake pipe is connected to an external hot air source, and a cover is fixedly installed at the air outlet end of the air intake pipe. Sealing strips are then installed on both sides of the cover. In this way, the cover can be movably fitted between the annular baffles in a relatively sealed state. During use, external hot air can be input into the space formed by the cover and the annular baffles through the air intake pipe. The increased air pressure in this space opens the one-way valves that rotate past the cover, allowing hot air to smoothly enter the spherical mixing container.

[0013] This allows for effective docking with the rotating spherical mixing container, enabling the introduction of pressurized external hot air into the container. This, in turn, enhances the agitation of the tobacco material through airflow disturbance, significantly improving the mixing effect and efficiency. Furthermore, it allows for effective pre-drying of the tobacco material during the mixing process, thereby significantly improving the equipment's adaptability.

[0014] 2) The front and rear ends of the cover of this utility model are respectively spaced apart from the outer wall of the spherical mixing container, and the inner end of the cover is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the spherical mixing container. Through the intervention of the sealing roller, the cover is movably embedded between a set of annular baffles in a relatively sealed state, thereby effectively improving the practical effect of this utility model.

[0015] 3) The sealing roller of this utility model is made of high temperature resistant rubber material, and the cross-section of the arc-shaped limiting plate is more than 1 / 2 circle shape to ensure that the sealing roller does not deform or detach from the two ends of the cover during operation, thereby further improving the practical effect of this utility model.

The sealing connection mechanism 7 includes a set of sealing protrusions that are externally arranged on the left and right sides of the cover 602, and the outer ends of the set of sealing protrusions are respectively movable and abut against the inner sidewall of the set of annular baffles 4.

[0024] This invention includes a set of annular baffles 4 symmetrically fixed to both sides of the middle of a spherical mixing container 2. Multiple one-way valves 5 are then connected at intervals to the spherical mixing container 2 between the annular baffles 4. The air intake assembly 6 is redesigned, including an air intake pipe 601 located on the outside of the spherical mixing container 2. The air intake end of the air intake pipe 601 is connected to an external hot air source, and a cover 602 is fixedly installed at the air outlet end of the air intake pipe 601.

This allows for effective docking with the rotating spherical mixing container 2, enabling the introduction of pressurized external hot air into the spherical mixing container 2. This, in turn, enhances the agitation of the tobacco material through airflow disturbance, significantly improving the mixing effect and efficiency of the tobacco material. Furthermore, it enables effective pre-drying of the tobacco material during the mixing process, thereby significantly improving the equipment's adaptability.

Corresponding arc-shaped limiting plates 9 are fixed inward at the front and rear ends of the cover 602, and the sealing rollers 8 are rotatably mounted between the arc-shaped limiting plates 9 and the spherical mixing container 2. Through the intervention of the sealing rollers 8, the cover 602 is further movably fitted into a set of annular baffles 4 in a relatively sealed state, thereby effectively improving the practical effect of this utility model.

[0026] The sealing roller 8 is made of high-temperature resistant rubber material, and the arc-shaped limiting plate 9 has a cross-section exceeding 1 / 2 circle shape to ensure that the sealing roller 8 does not deform or detach from both ends of the cover 602 during operation, thereby further improving the practical effect of this utility model.
