Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention humidifies and warms tobacco raw materials (hereinafter referred to as harmonization).
This invention relates to an apparatus for continuously performing processing and adding a fragrance (hereinafter referred to as "perfuming").

Generally, cylinder type processing equipment is used for conditioning and flavoring tobacco raw materials.

Conventionally, these processing devices have been installed separately and connected by a conveyor or other transport device, so when the tobacco raw material is transported on a conveyor after harmonized processing, the temperature of the tobacco raw material decreases and shrinks. do. For this reason, we developed tobacco raw materials,
Heat is applied again during the flavoring process so that the fragrance can be added evenly. By performing such reheating treatment, the quality of the tobacco raw material deteriorates and unnecessary heat energy is used. The present invention aims to solve this problem by continuously performing harmonization processing and fragrance processing. - Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the attached drawings.

In this embodiment, a first cylinder 1 is rotatably provided on a pedestal 3 at an inclination, and a pedestal 4 is attached to the pedestal 4 in a continuous and rotatable manner so as to slightly overlap the rear end of the first cylinder 1. A second cylinder 2 having a larger diameter than the first cylinder 1 provided obliquely, and a cylinder warming hood provided to cover the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 provided on the mounts 3 and 4. 5, 6, a hydration nozzle 7 and a steam spray nozzle 8 provided at the inlet opening end of the first cylinder 1, and scraping members provided at appropriate intervals on the inner surfaces of the first cylinder 1 and second cylinder 2. 10, and the first
A cover plate 11 is provided on the cylinder flooding hood 6 so as to cover the connection port between the cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2, and a cover plate 11 is provided on the top of the cover plate 11 so as to direct the spout into the second cylinder 2. an intermediate exhaust row 2 provided on the top of the cover plate 11; and an exhaust row provided on the top of the cylinder warming hood 6 so as to cover the rear end of the second cylinder 2. 3, a hood 15 having a tobacco raw material discharge port 14 at the bottom thereof, an inlet closing device for the first cylinder 1, and a cover plate 11 that covers the connecting entrance between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2; A compressed air nozzle 16 for sending out tobacco raw material is provided facing the chick raw material transfer direction.
and spiral fins 17 provided at appropriate intervals on the inner wall surface near the connecting portion of the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 so as to face downward along the tobacco raw material transfer direction;
A cover plate 11 that covers the connection closed portion between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2, and a rotary brush 18 that is provided between the rear end of the second cylinder 2 so as to be able to come into contact with the inner wall surface of the second cylinder. have.

Furthermore, 19 is a supply conveyor for supplying tobacco raw material to the entrance of the first cylinder 1.

This is a roller driven by an electric motor 22 attached to the frame 3, and a rail 21 wound around the first cylinder rides on the roller 20. 25 is an electric motor for rotating the second cylinder twice.

23 is a roller driven by the driver 25;

24 is a rail wound around the second cylinder 2;

26 is an exhaust duct connected to the intermediate exhaust port 12 and the exhaust row 3;

27 is a discharge conveyor provided with the tobacco raw material discharge row 4;

28 is an electric motor for driving the rotating brush 18.

A large number of the scraping members 10 are provided on the wall surface, and the length is 10.
A bottle-shaped one of degree c is most desirable.

The most desirable shape of the spiral fins 17 is a belt-like shape with a height of about three skins. The center axis of rotation of the first cylinder 1 is slightly shifted downward from the center axis of rotation of the second cylinder 2, so that the area above the cover plate 11 of the cylinder connecting portion is widened.

The operation of this embodiment will be explained below.

The barrel-packed tobacco raw material is cut into rings and introduced from a supply conveyor 19 into a rotating first cylinder.

The tobacco raw material is scraped up by a scraping member 10' attached to the inner wall of the cylinder, and while being scraped, it is harmonized with water and steam that are rolled up by the water nozzle 7 and the steam mist nozzle-8, and is gradually released. Ru. 1st cylinder 1
The tobacco material has a slightly downward slope, so the tobacco raw material is repeatedly scraped up and dropped into the first cylinder 1.
It flows further into the second shilling 2.

Here, since a spiral fin 17 is attached to the inner side surface of the connecting portion between the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2, the tobacco raw material can be smoothly transferred between the two cylinders. Since the high-temperature air inside the first shilling 1 contains harmful components that are scattered from the tobacco raw material, the harmful components are discharged from the intermediate exhaust port 12.

To the tobacco raw material introduced from the first cylinder 1 to the second cylinder 2, flavor atomized from a flavor nozzle 9 is added.
At the inlet of the second cylinder 2, the temperature of the tobacco raw material is the same as that raised inside the first cylinder 1, so the tobacco raw material develops well and there is no need to further heat it, so it is only necessary to add the flavoring agent. .

The tobacco raw material is scraped up and scraped by a scraping member 10 attached to the inner wall surface of the rotating second cylinder. The moisture content of the tobacco raw material inside the second cylinder rises due to the addition of the flavoring agent, so that it tends to adhere to the inner wall surface of the cylinder. For this reason, it is preferable to use the rotating brush 18 to remove the tobacco raw material adhering to the inner wall surface of the cylinder. In addition, due to the length of the cylinders, a large amount of tobacco raw material remains inside each cylinder at the end of tobacco raw material processing.
Since it takes a long time for the tobacco material to come out of the cylinder, the compressed air nozzles 16 at the inlets of the first cylinder 1 and the second cylinder 2 are used so that the tobacco raw material can be forcibly removed by the compressed air ejected from these nozzles. It has become. The present invention eliminates the need for reheating when adding flavoring by connecting the blending cylinder and the flavoring cylinder as described above, making it possible to prevent deterioration of tobacco quality. It is something that

Further, the problems caused by the connection of the cylinders have also been solved as described above.
