The invention belongs to the technical field of tobacco shred
processing in the cigarette manufacture, and more particularly relates to a method for
cutting the tobacco shred by a
water jet and a device thereof. The method for
cutting the tobacco shred by the
water jet comprises: 1. tobacco leaves are prepared; 2. the tobacco leaves are put into a delivery mechanism of the device for
cutting the tobacco shred to be conveyed to the
cut position of the
water jet; 3. high-pressure water sprayed out by a
nozzle forms a water shooting flow jet to lead the tobacco leaves to be
cut into the tobacco shred; 4. the
cut tobacco shred are conveyed to the next working procedure; 5. after being cut by the high-pressure water, the tobacco shred enters a
water recovery machine. The method is managed and controlled by a computer. The device for cutting the tobacco shred by the water jet is provided with a main conveyer belt and a
carding conveyer belt on a frame, wherein, the
carding conveyer belt is inclined, rotation shafts of the main conveyer belt and the
carding conveyer belt are respectively connected with a
motor shaft, and the sides of the two conveyer belts are provided with side baffles; the upper part of a manhole and the frame are connected with a guideway which is provided with the
nozzle of the water jet, a control device is arranged on the frame, and the
water recovery device is arranged under the manhole; the main conveyer belt, the carding conveyer belt, the
nozzle of the water jet and a
motion control device of the nozzle are connected with a appliance of the computer. The invention can maintain the active ingredients in the
tobacco leaf to the utmost extent, improves the quality of the tobacco shred, simplifies the technique for tobacco shred
processing, saves energy, reduces consumption and the cost for manufacturing the tobacco shred, and can be used for the planted
tobacco leaf and artificial tobacco sheet.
