Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco equipment technology, and in particular to a tobacco liquid atomization system. Background Technology

[0002] In the flavoring and additive stage of tobacco processing, the flavoring liquid needs to be precisely and safely transported from the flavoring kitchen to the atomization equipment on the production site. Traditionally, this relies on a fixed pipeline system to pump the flavoring liquid directly into fixed tanks on the production site. However, with the increasing demand for flexible production, mobile tanks are being used for flavoring transfer. This involves filling the flavoring liquid directly in the flavoring kitchen and then transporting it to the production site for loading and atomization.

[0003] However, the large number of mobile tanks makes manufacturing expensive, and installing a dedicated sealing detection device on each tank is impractical in terms of both modification costs and versatility. More importantly, the risk of liquid leakage is not limited to the tank itself, but is more prevalent throughout the entire atomization system piping starting from the tank interface. Examples include: improper installation of the liquid filter, loose connecting valves, leakage from the liquid pump itself, and aging or damaged hoses and pipes. Using traditional fixed-pipeline testing methods directly cannot effectively verify the sealing of the entire atomization system (including the liquid pump, valves, filter, and nozzles) before loading the liquid.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a tobacco liquid atomization system to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tobacco liquid atomization system, which integrates the tobacco liquid atomization system and the sealing detection system. This system can perform air pressure tests on other components besides the mobile can before loading, thereby enabling the sealing detection of the tobacco liquid atomization system.

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0015] Compressed air enters the connecting pipeline of the filter device and the feed pump in sequence through the compressed air valve. When the air supply is stopped, the sealing test of the tobacco feed atomization system is passed when the pressure gauge detects that the pressure value remains unchanged. The compressed air valve is then removed, and a mobile tank is installed on the loading port.

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these 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.

[0034] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a tobacco liquid atomization system, which includes a compressed air valve 1, a filter device 2, a liquid pump 3, a vent valve 4, a flow meter 5, a pressure gauge 6, and a first solenoid valve 7. The input end of the compressed air valve 1 is connected to air, and the output end of the compressed air valve 1 is connected to the loading port. The input end of the filter device 2 is connected to the loading port, and the input end of the liquid pump 3 is connected to the output end of the filter device 2. The vent valve 4 is connected to the pipeline between the filter device 2 and the liquid pump 3. The input end of the flow meter 5 is connected to the output end of the liquid pump 3. The pressure gauge 6 is connected to the pipeline between the liquid pump 3 and the flow meter 5. The first solenoid valve 7 is connected to the pipeline between the liquid pump 3 and the flow meter 5. Compressed air enters the connecting pipeline between the filter device 2 and the liquid pump 3 sequentially through the compressed air valve 1. When the air supply is stopped, and the pressure gauge 6 detects that the pressure value remains constant, the sealing test of the tobacco liquid atomization system is passed. The compressed air valve 1 is then removed, and a mobile canister is installed on the loading port.

[0035] The tobacco liquid atomization system is equipped with a loading port for installing a mobile canister. The input and output ends of the compressed air valve 1 are connected to the compressed air canister and the loading port, respectively. The compressed air valve 1 is used to deliver compressed air to the pipeline of the tobacco liquid atomization system. Along the delivery route of the liquid or compressed air, a filter device 2, an air vent valve 4, a liquid pump 3, a pressure gauge 6, a first solenoid valve 7, and a flow meter 5 are installed in sequence.

[0036] The filter device 2 is equipped with a filter screen to filter impurities in the liquid transported by the mobile tank, protecting the tobacco liquid atomization system and ensuring the quality of the liquid and the lifespan of the equipment. The liquid pump 3 provides pressure for the transport of the filtered liquid, the vent valve 4 releases compressed air from the pipeline after the sealing test, the flow meter 5 measures the amount of liquid transported, the pressure gauge 6 tests the pressure change of the compressed air in the pipeline to determine if there is a leak, and the first solenoid valve 7 is in the open / closed state during the sealing test to prevent compressed air from flowing to the flow meter 5 and protect sensitive components from damage by compressed air.

[0037] The sealing test principle of this tobacco liquid atomization system is as follows: First, the compressed air valve 1 is opened, and compressed air enters through the loading port and is sequentially delivered along the filter device 2, the liquid pump 3, and the flow meter 5. The first solenoid valve 7 is in the closed state, preventing compressed air from flowing to the flow meter 5. At the same time, the vent valve 4 is in the closed state. Then, after a period of time, the compressed air valve 1 is closed to stop the air supply. If the pressure gauge 6 detects that the air pressure in the pipeline remains unchanged for a period of time, with an allowable error within 12%, such as if the 0.32 MPa pressure in the pipeline is maintained for several minutes, then the sealing test of the tobacco liquid atomization system is passed. If the pressure gauge 6 detects that the air pressure in the pipeline gradually decreases, it indicates that other components of the tobacco liquid atomization system, such as the filter device 2, the liquid pump 3, or the flow meter 5, are in a leaking state. Finally, after the aforementioned components have been repaired and their sealing is confirmed to be intact, the sealing test is complete. Open the vent valve 4 to release the compressed air in the pipeline to the atmosphere. Once the pressure gauge 6 detects that the pipeline pressure has dropped to standard atmospheric pressure, close the vent valve 4, return the first solenoid valve 7 to its normally open state, and connect the flow meter 5. Then, remove the compressed air valve 1 and load the mobile canister onto the loading port. By integrating the tobacco liquid atomization system and the sealing test system, and switching between the open and closed states of various valves, pressure tests can be performed on all components except the mobile canister before loading, thus achieving a sealing test of the tobacco liquid atomization system.

[0038] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 The tobacco liquid atomization system also includes a hose 8 and a detection sensor 9. One end of the hose 8 is connected to the compressed air valve 1, and the other end of the hose 8 is detachably connected to the loading port. The detection sensor 9 is located beside the loading port and is signal-connected to the compressed air valve 1. The detection sensor 9 is used to detect whether the hose 8 and the loading port are connected.

[0039] The detection sensor 9 is a photoelectric sensor. The compressed air valve 1 is connected to the loading port via the hose 8, and the detection sensor 9 identifies and detects the connection. When the detection sensor 9 does not detect the connection between the hose 8 and the loading port, it will not send a signal to the compressed air valve 1, and the compressed air valve 1 will remain closed. When the detection sensor 9 detects a successful connection between the hose 8 and the loading port, it sends a signal to the compressed air valve 1, which then opens to allow for a seal test of the tobacco liquid atomization system's piping. After the seal test of the tobacco liquid atomization system is passed, the hose 8 and the compressed air valve 1 are disassembled, and a mobile canister is loaded onto the loading port.

[0040] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 The tobacco liquid atomization system also includes a shut-off valve 10, the input end of which is connected to the filter device 2, and the output end of which is connected to air.

[0041] The vent valve 4 and the shut-off valve 10 are normally closed valves. After the pipeline sealing of the tobacco liquid atomization system passes the test, the vent valve 4 is opened to allow the compressed air in the pipeline to be discharged into the atmosphere. At the same time, the shut-off valve 10 is manually opened to assist in the discharge of the compressed air in the pipeline.

[0042] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 The tobacco liquid atomization system also includes an atomizing nozzle 11, which is connected to the output end of the flow meter 5.

[0043] After the sealing test is completed and the compressed air is discharged to the atmosphere, the first solenoid valve 7 returns to its normally open state, connecting the flow meter 5. Then, the compressed air valve 1 is removed, and the mobile canister is loaded onto the loading port. The liquid pump 3 starts, and the liquid in the mobile canister is filtered for impurities through the filter device 2. Then, the liquid passes through the flow meter 5 and is sprayed out through the atomizing nozzle 11. While passing the sealing test, the normal spraying of the tobacco liquid atomization system is achieved.

[0044] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 The tobacco liquid atomization system also includes a second solenoid valve 12. The input end of the second solenoid valve 12 is connected to the pipeline between the filter device 2 and the liquid pump 3, and the output end of the second solenoid valve 12 is connected to the pipeline between the flow meter 5 and the atomizing nozzle 11.

[0045] The first solenoid valve 7 and the second solenoid valve 12 are set as normally open valves. When the compressed air valve 1 is opened, compressed air enters through the loading port and is delivered sequentially along the filter device 2, the liquid pump 3, the flow meter 5, and the atomizing nozzle 11. When the first solenoid valve 7 and the second solenoid valve 12 are closed, the compressed air is prevented from flowing to the flow meter 5 and the atomizing nozzle 11, thus protecting the sensitive components from damage by the compressed air.

[0046] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 The tobacco liquid atomization system also includes an alarm device, which is connected to the pressure gauge 6 and is used to alert the system of leaks.

[0047] The alarm device is set as a warning light or buzzer. When testing the sealing of the tobacco liquid atomization system, if the pressure gauge 6 detects that the air pressure in the pipeline remains constant, the pressure gauge 6 will not send a signal to the alarm device, and the alarm device will be in the closed state and will not sound an alarm. If the pressure gauge 6 detects that the air pressure in the pipeline gradually decreases, it indicates that other components of the tobacco liquid atomization system, such as the filter device 2, the liquid pump 3, the flow meter 5, or the atomizing nozzle 11, are leaking. In this case, the pressure gauge 6 will send a signal to the alarm device, which will be in the open state and sound an alarm to remind personnel to repair the components.

[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
