AI Technical Summary
[0003]目前烟叶的熟化过程需要手工缝制,把它们缝在竹棍上,在烟叶之间预留足够的空间,使烟叶不会相互接触,并能够均匀地晾干,但在烟叶干燥之后表面会出现卷曲情况,需要再次进行平展加工才可作为茄衣使用,影响了工作效率,实用性欠佳
[0015] This application involves placing single tobacco leaves onto multiple breathable clamps, allowing the leaves to lie flat on the bottom plate surface. Then, rotating the closing movable plate secures the tobacco leaves. Once all the tobacco leaves on a single mounting rod are installed, they are placed between two horizontal plates and fixed. After installing multiple mounting rods on the door, the door is flipped up to close the loading/unloading opening. The air supply component then delivers hot air inside the chamber for drying until the tobacco leaves are dry and set. This process allows for the flattening and fixing of the tobacco leaves, ensuring they remain flat after setting, avoiding secondary processing and improving work efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco drying technology, and in particular to a cigar tobacco drying device. Background Technology
[0002] A cigar is a tobacco product made from dried and fermented tobacco. When smoking, one end is lit and the smoke is drawn out through the mouth from the other end. A cigar consists of a wrapper, binder, and filler. Each cigar is made from 3 to 5 types of tobacco leaves, and the wrapper requires large and flat tobacco leaves.
[0003] Currently, the curing process of tobacco leaves requires manual sewing. The leaves are sewn onto bamboo sticks, leaving enough space between them to prevent them from touching each other and to allow them to dry evenly. However, after the leaves are dried, they tend to curl up and need to be flattened again before they can be used as wrappers. This affects work efficiency and makes the process impractical.

[0023] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.
[0024] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods, and the materials and reagents used are commercially available. Unless otherwise specified, the equipment used in the experiments is well known to those skilled in the art.
[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this application discloses a cigar tobacco drying device, including a box body 1. The front side of the box body 1 has a loading and unloading port 2. The loading and unloading port 2 has a door 3 that is adapted to its size and can be flipped down. Several sets of horizontal plates 6 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the door 3. There are two horizontal plates 6 in each set. Several mounting rods 7 are provided between the two horizontal plates 6. The horizontal plates 6 are provided with plug-in structures 4 for fixing the mounting rods 7. Several breathable clamps 8 for fixing tobacco leaves are fixedly connected to each mounting rod 7. The breathable clamp 8 includes a bottom plate 81 and a movable plate 82. One end of the movable plate 82 is connected to the bottom plate 81 through a bending strap 9 and is also connected to the mounting rod 7. The other end of the bottom plate 81 is provided with a bolt connector 5 for fixing the movable plate 82. An air supply component for blowing hot air is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the box body 1.
[0026] Furthermore, limiting protrusions 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the box door 3. A rotary switch 13 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the front wall of the box body 1, which abuts against the surface of the box door 3. When the box door 3 is flipped up, the limiting protrusions 12 can restrict the box door 3 from flipping inward too much, so that the box door 3 is stably placed in the loading and unloading port 2. Then, the rotary switch 13 is rotated so that its protrusion is placed downward, blocking the outside of the box door 3, thereby closing and fixing the box door 3.
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the insertion structure 4 includes a protrusion 4e fixedly connected to the side wall of one of the horizontal plates 6. Both ends of the mounting rod 7 are provided with sleeve holes 4d that are adapted to the insertion of the protrusion 4e. The other horizontal plate 6 is provided with a pin structure for fixing the other end of the mounting rod 7. The pin structure includes a pin hole 4a on the horizontal plate 6, into which a pin 4b adapted to the insertion of the sleeve hole 4d is inserted. A spring 4c is sleeved on the outside of the pin 4b, and both ends of the spring 4c are connected to the end circular plates of the horizontal plate 6 and the pin 4b, respectively. The mounting rod 7 is then placed... Between the two horizontal plates 6, the sleeve hole 4d at one end of the mounting rod 7 is fitted onto the protrusion 4e. Then, the corresponding pin 4b is pulled away from the mounting rod 7, and the spring 4c is stretched elastically. When the sleeve hole 4d at the other end of the mounting rod 7 and the pin 4b are on the same axis, the pin 4b is released so that it is inserted into the sleeve hole 4d under the pulling force of the spring 4c, thus completing the fixation of the mounting rod 7. At this time, the mounting rod 7 can swing flexibly between the two horizontal plates 6. After the box door 3 is in a vertical state, the ventilated clamp 8 also hangs down naturally under the action of gravity.
[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, both the base plate 81 and the movable plate 82 are integrally formed with a breathable mesh. The bolt connector 5 includes a bolt hole 5a opened on the base plate 81, and a bolt 5b is threaded into the bolt hole 5a. The end of the movable plate 82 is provided with a U-shaped groove 5c that matches the bolt 5b. After the tobacco leaves are laid flat on the surface of the base plate 81, the movable plate 82 is rotated to fit against the surface of the base plate 81, thus completing the flat laying and fixing of the tobacco leaves. Then, the bolt 5b is inserted into the U-shaped groove 5c and the bolt hole 5a and rotated to complete the fixing of the movable plate 82 and the base plate 81.
[0029] like Figure 1As shown in Figure 4, the air supply component includes an ion fan 10 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the housing 1. The air inlet and outlet of the ion fan 10 are both located inside the housing 1. A heating wire 11 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the housing 1, and the heating wire 11 is located at the air outlet of the ion fan 10. A digital display controller 14 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the housing 1, and the output terminal of the digital display controller 14 is electrically connected to the heating wire 11 and the input terminal of the ion fan 10 respectively. The ion fan 10 can be controlled to blow air and the heating temperature of the heating wire 11 can be controlled by the digital display controller 14. Since the air inlet and outlet of the ion fan 10 are both located inside the housing 1, the hot air flow inside the housing 1 can be circulated, which can reduce heat loss to a certain extent. The ion fan 10 can effectively remove static electricity in the air, so as to promote yellowing and rapid drying of tobacco leaves in the curing barn and improve the drying effect.
[0030] Using the above structure, single tobacco leaves are placed on multiple breathable clamps 8, so that the tobacco leaves are laid flat on the surface of the bottom plate 81. Then, the movable plate 82 is rotated to close and fix the tobacco leaves flat. The tobacco leaves are then fixed by bolt connectors 5. After all the tobacco leaves on a single mounting rod 7 are installed, they are placed between two horizontal plates 6 and fixed by plug-in structure 4. After multiple mounting rods 7 are installed on the box door 3, the box door 3 is flipped up to close the loading and unloading port 2. Then, the air supply component is controlled to deliver hot air inside the box 1 for drying until the tobacco leaves are dry and shaped.
[0031] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various different choices and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
