Attached Figure Description

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

[0019] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the multi-component recombination processing system for smoke-generating substrates provided in an embodiment of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0021] This utility model proposes an embodiment of a multi-component recombination processing system for smoke-generating substrates, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes at least: raw material pretreatment equipment, external fiber crushing equipment, and liquid material preparation equipment;

[0022] The raw material pretreatment equipment includes, in sequence: a tobacco leaf unpacking device, a mechanical loosening device, a moisture control device, a low-temperature pulverizing device, and a tank storage device.

[0023] The tobacco leaf unpacking device is used to remove the wrapping material from the tobacco leaves; the mechanical loosening device (also known as a mechanical loosening machine) is used to break up the whole raw material into small pieces (flakes). After adjustment and setting, the device can ensure that the area of ​​the broken tobacco leaves does not exceed 1 cm². 2 This is very beneficial for subsequent processing; the moisture control device is used to control the moisture content of the loosened and crushed fragments (pieces) to (6-8)%, which is convenient for preparing tobacco powder; the low temperature pulverizing device is used to make tobacco powder with a particle size of (80-400) mesh from the moisture-controlled fragments, and the equipment used is mature equipment in the industry; the tank storage device is used to store the raw materials after powdering, and then quantitative discharge can be carried out according to process needs.

[0024] In addition, in some other embodiments of this utility model, the raw material pretreatment equipment also includes a mixing device connected between the moisture control device and the low-temperature pulverizing device. The mixing device is used to mix tobacco leaves of different grades evenly to ensure the uniformity and integrity of the powder. The mixing device can be implemented with the help of a storage tank or a large material tank.

[0025] Continuing from the previous text, the external fiber shredding equipment is used to shred fiberboard through a shredder. Preferably, the shredder is configured to shred the fiberboard into 400mm diameter pieces. 2 The fragments are more conducive to dry or wet defiber processing;

[0026] The liquid preparation equipment, connected to the external fiber disintegration equipment, is used to sequentially add external fiber pulp, a smoking agent, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC, a water-soluble cellulose ether), and water to a liquid tank for mixing. In specific implementations, CMC is added via a venturi tube. After the liquid preparation is completed, it is transferred to a pulp tank, where sugar is added. The liquid and tobacco powder are then mixed in the pulp tank using a high-speed mixer. It can be further noted that the aforementioned external fiber pulp can be obtained by an external fiber pulping device connected between the external fiber disintegration equipment and the liquid preparation equipment.

[0027] The aforementioned multi-component recombination processing system can be integrated with roll forming sheet customization equipment in practical applications. Specifically, the roll forming sheet customization equipment includes: a powder-liquid mixing device, a roll forming device, and other process equipment;

[0028] The discharge side of the liquid material preparation device in the recombination processing system and the discharge side of the tank storage device are respectively connected to the powder-liquid mixing device.

[0029] The following is a non-limiting description of the roll forming process for thin sheets:

[0030] According to the raw material formula requirements, tobacco raw materials such as tobacco dust, stems, and fragments are pulverized to a certain particle size. These are then mixed and stirred evenly with adhesives, added fibers, atomizing agents, water, and flavorings in a specific ratio to form loose granules. These granules are then formed through multi-stage roller pressing, dried, and slit into thin sheets of a certain specification. The process consists of three parts: liquid material preparation, including adhesives, added fibers, and atomizing agents; tobacco raw material pretreatment, including blending and pulverizing; and roller pressing, including powder-liquid mixing, multi-stage roller pressing, drying, slitting, and sealing for packaging. The key technologies lie in the uniform mixing of dry and wet materials, and the precise control of the roller spacing and moisture content after drying.

[0031] Furthermore, the aforementioned multi-component recombination processing system can be integrated with the slurry-based thin-film customization equipment in practical applications. Specifically, the slurry-based thin-film customization equipment mainly includes slurry preparation devices, casting and forming devices, drying and shaping devices, and peeling devices.

[0032] The discharge side of the liquid material preparation equipment and the discharge side of the tank storage device in the reconstituted processing system can be connected to the slurry preparation device, respectively. Furthermore, the reconstituted processing system also includes an unwinding device and a laminating device. The unwinding device is used to unwind paper bases (including paper rolls from suppliers and paper bases manufactured by dry papermaking production lines) with a predetermined air permeability (e.g., 10000-15000CU) by an unwinding machine, and connects to the laminating device via a paper roll conveying device. Thus, based on the shared thick slurry sheet individual process equipment, it can also be connected to the laminating device to form a new type of thick slurry composite sheet process for papermaking. Specifically, based on the aforementioned connection to the slurry preparation device, the laminating device in this system is further connected between the casting forming device and the drying and setting device.

[0033] The following is a non-limiting introduction to this new papermaking thick pulp composite sheet production process:

[0034] The process involves adding pulverized tobacco materials to water, binders, fibers, atomizing agents, and flavorings to form a thick slurry. This slurry is then spread onto a stainless steel belt to form a coating. A paper base is then laminated onto the slurry coating surface. After initial drying, peeling, secondary drying, winding, slitting, winding again, and sealing, the product is stored and used. This papermaking slurry lamination process offers advantages such as high tensile strength, good softness, and strong draw consistency, and is primarily suitable for heated cigarettes. The core of the new papermaking slurry lamination sheet process involves slurry preparation, casting, and lamination. Key technologies lie in slurry preparation, paper base lamination, and precise control of sheet thickness and moisture content.

[0035] Finally, it can be added that the discharge side of the liquid material preparation equipment in the recombination processing system can also be connected to the spraying device in the dry papermaking process equipment.

[0036] The process flow mentioned in the above embodiments, as well as the devices, equipment, and devices involved, are all mature technologies. The purpose of this utility model is to construct a universal and easy-to-connect process hardware system framework by combining the analysis of mainstream smoke-generating substrate processing technology. In actual processing and production, based on this system framework and with the help of equally mature conveying equipment, it can be flexibly connected to various smoke-generating substrate processing technology processes required for production.

[0037] In summary, the main design concept of this utility model is that it comprises a shared system framework consisting of at least a raw material pretreatment device, an external fiber disintegration device, and a liquid material preparation device. The raw material pretreatment device includes, in sequence, a tobacco leaf unpacking device, a mechanical loosening device, a moisture control device, a low-temperature pulverizing device, and a tank storage device. The external fiber disintegration device is used to pulverize the fiberboard using a pulverizer. The liquid material preparation device, connected to the external fiber disintegration device, is used to sequentially add external fiber pulp, a smoking agent, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and water to the liquid material tank for mixing. This utility model can flexibly realize various process combinations for the production and processing of smoking substrates, effectively improving the utilization rate of existing equipment, reducing redundant investment and floor space, and fully maximizing the efficiency of tobacco processing equipment.
