Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flue-cured tobacco purchasing technology, and in particular to a manual flue-cured tobacco baling box with adjustable baling space. Background Technology

[0002] Before selling their flue-cured tobacco, farmers need to perform initial grading of the leaves, then compact them to a weight of 3kg or 5kg per bundle before tying them with rope. The traditional method involves two steps: 1. Placing the tobacco leaves into a box with an open top. The weight of the leaves depends entirely on the farmer's experience or pre-weighing, which can be cumbersome or result in insufficient weight. 2. After placing the leaves, placing a pressure plate on top, then placing bricks on the plate or having the farmer continuously press down for a certain time before tying them with rope. This method is inconvenient and can result in insufficient pressure. Excessive pressure can cause the leaves to become too tightly packed, releasing oil, resulting in hardening and oil stains. The tobacco leaves do not meet the requirements for flue-cured tobacco purchase; their compaction is too weak and their volume is too large, making them inconvenient for storage and transportation. Existing technology uses balers to solve these problems. Balers include a box with an open top and a weighing device at the bottom to ensure the weight of the baled tobacco leaves meets requirements. The baler also includes a tobacco leaf pressing plate connected to a lifting mechanism controlled by buttons. However, such balers have the following problems: 1. High manufacturing and operating costs; 2. While the button-controlled lifting mechanism uses the pressing plate to compact the tobacco leaves, the degree of compaction still depends entirely on the tobacco farmer's experience, often resulting in substandard compaction. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a manual baling box for flue-cured tobacco with adjustable baling space to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A manually operated tobacco baling box with adjustable baling space includes a box body with openings on the top and one side. A tobacco leaf support plate is installed inside the box body. A weighing sensor is installed between the tobacco leaf support plate and the bottom surface of the box body. The weighing sensor is connected to a controller, which is connected to a weight output device. Grooves for rope ends to pass through are provided on opposite side walls of the box body. The bottom surface of the grooves is flush with the bottom surface of the box body. A pressure plate is vertically movable inside the box body. One end of the pressure plate is hinged to different heights of the box body via a hinge, and the other end has a handle. Different heights correspond to different weights of tobacco leaves being compacted. After pressing the handle to make the pressure plate horizontal, the pressure plate is fixed to the box body by a buckle.

[0005] Furthermore, one end of the pressure plate can be hinged to two different heights of the box body, one height being the compaction height of 3KG tobacco leaves and the other height being the compaction height of 5KG tobacco leaves.

[0006] Furthermore, the bottom of the box is equipped with casters, and one end of the box is equipped with a push-pull structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the push-pull structure is a pull rope.

[0008] Furthermore, the buckle includes two movable plates, which are located opposite each other on the top surface of the pressure plate. At least two movable rods are vertically connected to the opposite sides of the two movable plates. Each movable rod on the top surface of the pressure plate is provided with a retaining ring. The movable rod passes through the retaining ring at the corresponding position. A tension spring is sleeved on the movable rod, with its two ends connected to the retaining ring and the movable plate respectively. The box body is provided with a set of fixing holes at different heights. Each set of fixing holes includes multiple fixing holes, and each set of multiple fixing holes is matched with multiple movable rods of the buckle. The end of the movable rod can extend into the fixing hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the hinge component includes a first hinge seat disposed at one end of the pressure plate and a plurality of second hinge seats and hinge shafts disposed at different heights on the inner wall of the box. The hinge shafts can be inserted into the hinge holes of the first hinge seat and the second hinge seat.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: The adjustable-space manual tobacco baling box proposed in this utility model involves first laying baling ropes inside the box, with both ends of the ropes passing through grooves on both sides of the box. Then, tobacco leaves are placed inside the box and placed on a tobacco leaf support plate. A weighing sensor detects the weight of the tobacco leaves in real time and transmits the data to a controller. The controller controls the weight output device to output the weight. Once the required weight is reached, the two ends of the baling ropes are positioned in a groove, and a pressure plate is placed inside the box. One end of the pressure plate is hinged to the box, with the hinge position corresponding to the required weight of tobacco leaves. After pressing the handle to make the pressure plate horizontal, the pressure plate is fixed to the box by a buckle. The two ends of the baling ropes are then pulled tight and tied together. After a certain period of time, the pressure plate is opened by the buckle, and the baled tobacco leaves are removed. This baling box has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, requires no energy consumption, and has low operating cost. The baling weight is determined by a weight sensor, ensuring that the weight of the baled tobacco leaves meets the requirements, and the operation is simple. The height of the pressing plate is determined according to the required compaction height of the tobacco leaves of the required weight, ensuring that the tobacco leaves are compacted to the standard, achieving consistent baling weight, volume, and ultimately specifications. This baling box can bale tobacco leaves of different weights and ensure that the baling specifications of each weight are consistent.

[0011] By setting up moving wheels and a push-pull structure, the movement of the bundled tobacco leaves from the tobacco farmer's sorting point to the bundled tobacco stacking point is realized. Once the bundled tobacco is stacked, the pressure plate is opened by the buckle, and the tobacco leaves are tied with binding rope, which can save baling time. In addition, the baling box can also be used as a trolley for transporting bundled tobacco leaves, saving time and effort.

[0012] The buckle includes two movable plates, multiple movable rods, a retaining ring on the top surface of the pressure plate, a tension spring, and fixing holes on the box body. When the pressure plate is fixedly connected to the box body by the buckle, the multiple movable rods of the buckle extend into a corresponding set of multiple fixing holes. To open the pressure plate, use your hand to bring the two movable plates closer together, and then pull the pressure plate upward by removing the ends of the movable rods from the fixing holes.
