Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco processing technology, and in particular to a multi-leaf continuous flavoring production system. Background Technology

[0002] Flavoring is a crucial step in tobacco processing. Typically, flavoring involves evenly applying flavoring liquid to the tobacco material to enhance its aroma and flavor. However, current flavoring methods often employ intermittent operation, processing only one batch of tobacco at a time before preparing the next batch of flavoring liquid. Because existing tobacco flavoring technologies require preparing the next batch of flavoring liquid, cleaning and re-preparation are necessary after each flavoring cycle, increasing operational complexity and time costs while reducing production efficiency. Batch-to-batch variations can lead to differences in aroma and flavor in the finished tobacco, thus impacting the consumer's smoking experience. Utility Model Content

[0025] The following is combined Figures 1-2 This invention describes a multi-leaf continuous fragrance production system.

[0026] Please refer to the multi-leaf continuous flavoring production system proposed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 1 The multi-leaf group continuous fragrance production system includes a fragrance device 10, which includes a first storage tank 100, a second storage tank 200, and a discharge pipe 300. The first storage tank 100 and the second storage tank 200 are used to store fragrances. The discharge pipe 300 includes a first branch discharge pipe 310, a second branch discharge pipe 320, and a main discharge pipe 330. The first branch discharge pipe 310 is connected to the first storage tank 100 and is equipped with a first discharge valve 311. The second branch discharge pipe 320 is connected to the second storage tank 200 and is equipped with a second discharge valve 321. The first end of the main discharge pipe 330 is connected to the first branch discharge pipe 310 and the second branch discharge pipe 320, and the second end of the main discharge pipe 330 is connected to an external transport device 20. Under normal operation of the multi-leaf group continuous fragrance production system, at least one of the first discharge valve 311 and the second discharge valve 321 is in the open state.

[0027] According to the multi-leaf continuous flavoring production system of this application embodiment, under normal operating conditions, at least one of the first discharge valve 311 and the second discharge valve 321 is in the open state to ensure a continuous supply of flavorings. When the flavorings in one of the storage tanks are about to run out, the controller of the multi-leaf continuous flavoring production system automatically closes the discharge valve corresponding to that storage tank and simultaneously opens the discharge valve of the other storage tank, thereby achieving seamless switching of flavorings. This process is fully automated, requiring no manual intervention, greatly improving production efficiency and the stability of flavoring quality, and enabling the flavoring process of tobacco to be carried out uninterruptedly, avoiding the problem of needing to stop the machine while flavoring tobacco.

[0028] It is understood that this application relates to a multi-leaf continuous flavoring production system, which aims to improve the flavoring efficiency and quality in the tobacco processing process. The flavoring device 10 of this application can ensure a stable and continuous supply of flavorings.

[0029] The flavoring device 10 comprises two independent first storage tanks 100 and second storage tanks 200. The first storage tank 100 and the second storage tank 200 are used to store spare quantities of the same flavoring agent, enabling a continuous supply of flavoring agent. The flavoring device 10 also includes a discharge pipe 300, which includes a first branch discharge pipe 310, a second branch discharge pipe 320, and a main discharge pipe 330. The first branch discharge pipe 310 and the second branch discharge pipe 320 are respectively connected to the first storage tank 100 and the second storage tank 200. A first discharge valve 311 and a second discharge valve 321 are respectively installed on the first branch discharge pipe 310 and the second branch discharge pipe 320. Under normal operating conditions, at least one of the first discharge valve 311 and the second discharge valve 321 is in the open state to ensure a continuous supply of flavoring agent. When the fragrance in one of the storage tanks is about to run out, the controller of the multi-leaf continuous fragrance production system automatically closes the discharge valve corresponding to that storage tank and simultaneously opens the discharge valve of the other storage tank, thus achieving a seamless switch of fragrances. This process is fully automated, requiring no manual intervention, and greatly improves production efficiency and the stability of fragrance quality.

[0030] For example, when the remaining amount of spices in the first storage tank 100 is only 5kg, the second storage tank 200, which is full of spices, can be put into use. The first discharge valve 311 and the second discharge valve 321 are opened at the same time. After a period of time (e.g., 30 seconds), the first discharge valve 311 is closed, and only the second discharge valve 321 is opened to ensure that the spice production continues. Then, during this time, the first storage tank 100 can be discharged, cleaned, and filled with new spices.

[0031] Similarly, when the remaining amount of fragrance in the second storage tank 200 is only 5kg, the first storage tank 100, which is full of fragrance, can be put into use. The first discharge valve 311 and the second discharge valve 321 are opened at the same time. After a period of time, the second discharge valve 321 is closed, and only the first discharge valve 311 is opened to ensure continuous fragrance production. Then, during this period, the second storage tank 200 can be discharged, cleaned, and filled with new fragrance.

[0032] It should be noted that the example of switching to different storage tanks when the remaining amount of spices is only 5kg is just an example. In actual applications, the remaining amount inside the storage tank can also be monitored by using different weight data or liquid level data.

[0033] According to one embodiment of this application, the fragrance applicator 10 has a first state, a second state, and a third state. The fragrance applicator 10 is adapted to switch from the first state to the third state and then back to the second state, and also adapted to switch from the second state to the third state and then back to the first state. In the first state, the first discharge valve 311 is open and the second discharge valve 321 is closed. In the second state, the second discharge valve 321 is open and the first discharge valve 311 is closed. In the third state, the first discharge valve 311 and the second discharge valve 321 are open.

[0034] Understandably, in the first state, the first discharge valve 311 is open and the second discharge valve 321 is closed. This means that the spices flow only from the first storage tank 100 and are transported to the external transport device 20 via the main discharge pipe 330. At this time, the second storage tank 200 is in standby mode and can be ready to replace the first storage tank 100 at any time.

[0035] In the second state, the second discharge valve 321 is open and the first discharge valve 311 is closed. At this time, the spices flow out from the second storage tank 200 and are transported to the external transport device 20 via the same path. Similarly, the first storage tank 100 is also in a standby state.

[0036] In the third state, both the first discharge valve 311 and the second discharge valve 321 are open. This is a transitional state used for a smooth switch between the two storage tanks. When it is necessary to switch from the first state to the second state (or vice versa), the control system first opens both discharge valves, allowing the spices to flow out of both storage tanks simultaneously. Then, it gradually closes the discharge valve corresponding to the storage tank being replaced (i.e., the first discharge valve 311 or the second discharge valve 321), while keeping the other discharge valve open to ensure a continuous supply of spices. In this way, spice addition and storage tank switching can be completed without stopping the system.

[0037] According to one embodiment of this application, the fragrance adding device 10 includes a first detection device 410 and a second detection device 420. The first detection device 410 is connected to the first storage tank 100 and is used to detect the remaining amount of fragrance in the first storage tank 100. The second detection device 420 is connected to the second storage tank 200 and is used to detect the remaining amount of fragrance in the second storage tank 200, so that the operator can keep track of the remaining amount of fragrance in the storage tank at any time and make timely adjustments and replenishments.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, both the first detection device 410 and the second detection device 420 are load cells. A load cell is a high-precision, high-reliability measuring device capable of accurately measuring the mass of an object and converting it into an electrical signal for transmission and processing. In this embodiment, the load cell is installed at the bottom or side of the storage tank. By measuring the total weight of the storage tank and the spices contained therein, and then subtracting the weight of the storage tank itself, the remaining amount of spices can be obtained.

[0039] The use of weighing sensors not only improves the accuracy of fragrance balance measurement but also enables real-time monitoring and remote control. When the fragrance balance falls below a preset threshold, the system automatically issues an alarm to remind operators to replenish the fragrance in a timely manner. Simultaneously, the system can automatically adjust the operating status of the fragrance adding device 10 based on the fragrance balance, such as switching to a backup storage tank, to ensure the continuity and stability of the fragrance adding process.

[0040] Of course, in addition to weighing sensors, they can also be liquid level sensors, or optical sensors, etc., without specific restrictions here.

[0041] According to one embodiment of this application, a first residual material discharge valve 312 is provided on the first branch discharge pipe 310. The first residual material discharge valve 312 is located between the first discharge valve 311 and the first storage tank 100. The first residual material discharge valve 312 is used to discharge the remaining fragrance in the first storage tank 100 and the first branch discharge pipe 310 when the first discharge valve 311 is closed. A second residual material discharge valve 322 is provided on the second branch discharge pipe 320. The second residual material discharge valve 322 is located between the second discharge valve 321 and the second storage tank 200. The second residual material discharge valve 322 is used to discharge the remaining fragrance in the second storage tank 200 and the second branch discharge pipe 320 when the second discharge valve 321 is closed.

[0042] A first residual material discharge valve 312 is provided on the first branch discharge pipe 310. The first residual material discharge valve 312 is located between the first discharge valve 311 and the first storage tank 100. When the first discharge valve 311 is closed, it can discharge any remaining fragrance in the first storage tank 100 and the first branch discharge pipe 310. This avoids fragrance residue in the first storage tank 100 and the first branch discharge pipe 310, reduces waste, and facilitates equipment cleaning and maintenance.

[0043] Similarly, a second residual material discharge valve 322 is provided on the second branch discharge pipe 320. The second residual material discharge valve 322 is located between the second discharge valve 321 and the second storage tank 200. The working principle of the second residual material discharge valve 322 is the same as that of the first residual material discharge valve 312. It is used to discharge the remaining spices in the second storage tank 200 and the second branch discharge pipe 320 when the second discharge valve 321 is closed.

[0044] The first residual material discharge valve 312 and the second residual material discharge valve 322 not only improve the utilization rate of spices, but also make the cleaning and maintenance of the equipment simpler and more efficient. The corresponding residual material discharge valve can be opened when switching storage tanks to completely drain the remaining spices from the storage tank, thereby maintaining cleanliness and hygiene, reducing equipment failures and maintenance costs caused by spice residue, and improving production efficiency.

[0045] According to one embodiment of this application, the aroma-adding device 10 includes a feed pipe 500, which includes a main feed pipe 510, a first branch feed pipe 520, and a second branch feed pipe 530. The main feed pipe 510 is connected to the first branch feed pipe 520 and the second branch feed pipe 530. The first branch feed pipe 520 is connected to a first storage tank 100 and is provided with a first feed valve 521. The second branch feed pipe 530 is connected to a second storage tank 200 and is provided with a second feed valve 531.

[0046] The main feed pipe 510 branches into a first branch feed pipe 520 and a second branch feed pipe 530, which are respectively connected to the first storage tank 100 and the second storage tank 200, thus realizing independent feeding of the two storage tanks.

[0047] A first feed valve 521 is provided on the first branch feed pipe 520. The first feed valve 521 is used to control the flow of material into the first storage tank 100. When it is necessary to add spices to the first storage tank 100, the first feed valve 521 can be opened to allow the material to flow into the first storage tank 100 through the first branch feed pipe 520; when it is not necessary to add spices to the first storage tank 100, the first feed valve 521 can be closed to stop the flow of material.

[0048] Similarly, a second feed valve 531 is installed on the second branch feed pipe 530. The second feed valve 531 operates on the same principle as the first feed valve 521, and is used to control the flow of material into the second storage tank 200. With this design, the user can add spices to the two storage tanks independently according to actual needs.

[0049] According to one embodiment of this application, a main feed pipe 510 is provided with a main feed valve 511, and the fragrance device 10 includes a residual material recovery pipe 600. The first end of the residual material recovery pipe 600 is connected to the main feed pipe 510, the first branch feed pipe 520 and the second branch feed pipe 530. The first end of the residual material recovery pipe 600 is located between the main feed valve 511 and the first feed valve 521, and is located between the main feed valve 511 and the second feed valve 531. A third residual material discharge valve 610 is provided on the residual material recovery pipe 600.

[0050] A main feed valve 511 is installed on the main feed pipe 510. The main function of the main feed valve 511 is to control the total flow rate of the entire feeding process. When it is necessary to stop all feeding, simply close the main feed valve 511, which can quickly cut off the flow of material and improve control accuracy and efficiency.

[0051] Furthermore, the first end of the residual material recovery pipe 600 is connected to the main feed pipe 510, the first branch feed pipe 520, and the second branch feed pipe 530, and is located between the main feed valve 511 and the first feed valve 521, as well as between the main feed valve 511 and the second feed valve 531. When replacing fragrance or cleaning the pipe 700, the residual material recovery pipe 600 can conveniently recover the fragrance residue in the main feed pipe 510, the first branch feed pipe 520, and the second branch feed pipe 530.

[0052] A third waste discharge valve 610 is installed on the waste material recovery pipe 600. The main function of the third waste discharge valve 610 is to control the discharge of waste material. When waste material needs to be recovered, the third waste discharge valve 610 can be opened to allow the residual fragrance to flow out through the waste material recovery pipe 600 for recovery. This not only avoids waste but also helps to keep the equipment clean and hygienic.

[0053] This design allows for more flexible adjustments to the feeding and waste material recovery processes. For example, when changing spices, the main feed valve 511, the first feed valve 521, and the second feed valve 531 can be closed first, and then the third waste material discharge valve 610 can be opened to recover and process the residual spices.

[0054] According to one embodiment of this application, the fragrance adding device 10 includes a cleaning pipe 700, which includes a main cleaning pipe 710, a first branch cleaning pipe 720, and a second branch cleaning pipe 730. The main cleaning pipe 710 is connected to the first branch cleaning pipe 720 and the second branch cleaning pipe 730. The first branch cleaning pipe 720 is connected to a first storage tank 100 and is provided with a first cleaning valve 721. The second branch cleaning pipe 730 is connected to a second storage tank 200 and is provided with a second cleaning valve 731.

[0055] The cleaning pipeline 700 system includes a main cleaning pipe 710, a first branch cleaning pipe 720, and a second branch cleaning pipe 730. The first branch cleaning pipe 720 and the second branch cleaning pipe 730, which branch off from the main cleaning pipe 710, are respectively connected to the first storage tank 100 and the second storage tank 200, enabling independent cleaning of the two storage tanks.

[0056] A first cleaning valve 721 is installed on the first branch cleaning pipe 720. The main function of the first cleaning valve 721 is to control the flow of cleaning fluid to the first storage tank 100. When the first storage tank 100 needs to be cleaned, the first cleaning valve 721 can be opened to allow the cleaning fluid to flow into the first storage tank 100 through the first branch cleaning pipe 720; after cleaning is completed, the first cleaning valve 721 can be closed to stop the continued flow of cleaning fluid.

[0057] It should be noted that the cleaning solution can be water or a liquid containing cleaning ingredients.

[0058] Similarly, a second cleaning valve 731 is installed on the second branch cleaning pipe 730. The second cleaning valve 731 operates on the same principle as the first cleaning valve 721, and is used to control the flow of cleaning fluid to the second storage tank 200. With this design, the user can clean the two storage tanks independently according to actual needs.

[0059] According to one embodiment of this application, the fragrance adding device 10 includes a gas pipeline 800, which includes a main gas pipe 810, a first branch gas pipe 820, and a second branch gas pipe 830. The main gas pipe 810 is connected to the first branch gas pipe 820 and the second branch gas pipe 830. The first branch gas pipe 820 is connected to a first storage tank 100 and is provided with a first gas valve 821. The second branch gas pipe 830 is connected to a second storage tank 200 and is provided with a second gas valve 831.

[0060] The gas pipeline system 800 includes a main gas pipe 810, a first branch gas pipe 820, and a second branch gas pipe 830. The first branch gas pipe 820 and the second branch gas pipe 830, which branch off from the main gas pipe 810, are respectively connected to the first storage tank 100 and the second storage tank 200, enabling independent gas control for the two storage tanks.

[0061] A first gas valve 821 is installed on the first branch gas pipe 820. The main function of the first gas valve 821 is to control the flow of gas into the first storage tank 100. When it is necessary to fill the first storage tank 100 with a protective gas (such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc.), the first gas valve 821 can be opened to allow the gas to flow into the first storage tank 100 through the first branch gas pipe 820; when it is not necessary to fill the tank with gas, the first gas valve 821 can be closed to prevent the gas from continuing to flow.

[0062] Similarly, a second gas valve 831 is installed on the second branch gas pipe 830. The second gas valve 831 operates on the same principle as the first gas valve 821, controlling the flow of gas to the second storage tank 200. This design allows users to independently control the gas flow in both storage tanks according to actual needs, such as filling with protective gas or adjusting the gas flow rate. This not only helps maintain the quality and stability of the fragrance but also allows for flexible adjustment of the gas environment to optimize storage conditions based on the characteristics and storage requirements of the fragrance.

[0063] According to one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 2 The multi-leaf continuous flavoring production system includes a transport device 20 and a storage box 30. The transport device 20 is connected to the main discharge pipe 330 of the flavoring device 10. The transport device 20 is used to transport the tobacco to be processed to the outlet of the main discharge pipe 330 for processing, and then transport the processed tobacco to the storage box 30.

[0064] The automated transport device 20 enables the rapid and accurate transport of tobacco shreds from the source to the processing point, reducing the tediousness and time consumption of manual operations and improving overall production efficiency. The combined use of the transport device 20 and the storage box 30 ensures that the entire processing can proceed continuously and stably, avoiding production interruptions caused by waiting for tobacco shreds or insufficient storage.

[0065] According to one embodiment of this application, multiple storage boxes 30 are arranged side by side. The transport device 20 includes a slide rail device 21, a first conveyor belt 22, a second conveyor belt 23, and a third conveyor belt 24. The slide rail device 21 spans all the storage boxes 30. The third conveyor belt 24 is slidably connected to the slide rail device 21. The outlet of the third conveyor belt 24 is adapted to slide above any one of the storage boxes 30. The first conveyor belt 22 is connected to the main discharge pipe 330. The second conveyor belt 23 is connected to the first conveyor belt 22 and the third conveyor belt 24.

[0066] The multiple storage boxes 30 arranged side by side not only optimize the utilization of production space, but also improve the storage capacity and flexibility of tobacco.

[0067] The transport device 20 includes a slide rail device 21, a first conveyor belt 22, a second conveyor belt 23, and a third conveyor belt 24. The slide rail device 21 spans all the storage boxes 30, providing stable support and guidance for the sliding of the third conveyor belt 24. The third conveyor belt 24 is slidably connected to the slide rail device 21, and its outlet can flexibly slide above any storage box 30, realizing the precise delivery of tobacco to different storage boxes 30.

[0068] The first conveyor belt 22, as a key component connecting the main discharge pipe 330 of the flavoring device 10, is responsible for continuously and efficiently transporting the processed tobacco from the main discharge pipe 330 to the second conveyor belt 23. The second conveyor belt 23 acts as a transfer point, connecting the first conveyor belt 22 and the third conveyor belt 24, ensuring the continuity and stability of the tobacco throughout the transportation process.
