The tobacco material is received by the helical blade 3 at the bottom layer and is lifted slowly along with the rotation of the helical blade 3.
The helical blade 3 is welded on a main shaft made of stainless steel, the main shaft is of a hollow structure, two ends of the main shaft are connected with a short shaft through flanges, and a sealing bearing is arranged at the joint of the short shaft and the shell of the upstroke screw conveyor 2. A small gap is reserved between the spiral blade 3 and the casing of the upstroke spiral conveyor 2, and the tobacco materials are reduced from scattering to the bottom layer of the spiral conveyor in the fermentation process. Meanwhile, the main shaft is distributed with the air holes 4, and the more the number of the air holes 4 is within the allowable range of the mechanical strength of the main shaft, the more uniformly the damp-heat gas is distributed in the shell of the ascending type screw conveyor 2, which is more beneficial to fermentation.
Moist heat gas enters from an air inlet 5 of the ascending type screw conveyor, flows through the tobacco materials layer by layer, flows out from an air outlet 6 of the ascending type screw conveyor, and is treated and continuously recycled. The damp-heat gas meets the requirements of corresponding fermentation temperature, humidity, oxygen content and the like, and meanwhile, the damp-heat gas has a low flowing speed, so that the tobacco materials are prevented from flowing out of the gas outlet 6 of the ascending type screw conveyor.
The power source of the ascending screw conveyor uses the motor 16, the chain wheel 17 and the chain 18 in accordance with the descending screw conveyor, and the corresponding protective casing is installed for the transmission equipment. After the speed is reduced, the rotating speed of the spiral conveyor is not too high, and the friction and the collision between the tobacco materials and the shell due to the action of centrifugal force are reduced.
Three temperature and humidity sensors are mounted outside a shell of the ascending screw conveyor 2 and are respectively arranged at a feeding port 10 of the ascending screw conveyor, a discharging port 7 of the ascending screw conveyor and the middle position of the ascending screw conveyor. The state of the greenhouse gas is adjusted by detecting the change of the temperature and humidity sensor, and the device has the function of dynamic adjustment and monitoring.
The material outlet 7 of the upward spiral conveyor is connected with the material inlet 9 of the downward spiral conveyor through a connecting pipeline 8. The length of the connecting pipe 8 is not too long so as to prevent the tobacco material from being blocked inside. The connecting pipeline 8 is connected with the discharge port 7 of the ascending screw conveyor and the feed port 9 of the descending screw conveyor through flanges.
The device also comprises a material returning and discharging system. In order to reduce the complexity of the fermentation equipment, the design that the structure of the descending type screw conveyer is consistent with that of the ascending type screw conveyer is adopted, and convenience is provided for installation and maintenance. The difference lies in that the helical blade quantity of descending screw conveyer is less than the helical blade quantity of ascending screw conveyer, and the purpose is for providing the position difference for descending screw conveyer discharge gate 20, makes things convenient for the tobacco material to flow out from descending screw conveyer discharge gate 20.
The tobacco materials move slowly from top to bottom in the descending screw conveyor, the damp-heat gas moves slowly from bottom to top from the damp-heat gas inlet 19 of the descending screw conveyor to the damp-heat gas outlet 17 of the descending screw conveyor, and the tobacco materials and the damp-heat gas are in a counter-current state, so that mass and heat transfer of the damp-heat gas are facilitated, and the fermentation efficiency of the tobacco materials is improved.
Before discharging, the tobacco materials pass through a temperature and humidity sensor at the discharging port to detect the humidity and heat degree, judge whether a preset fermentation state is achieved or not, and transmit information to a material returning and discharging controller 14, the controller automatically controls the opening direction of a two-way valve 12, so that the tobacco materials which are not fermented are returned to a feeder through a material returning pipe 21 to be continuously fermented, and the tobacco materials which are fermented are discharged through a discharging pipe 13.
It will be appreciated that the above method of use is only one method of implementation of the present apparatus. This device is the tobacco material of continuous circulation, disposes optimum fermentation condition simultaneously, realizes tobacco material fermentation under the developments, compares in natural fermentation, and fermentation efficiency obtains promoting. The whole fermentation process is monitored by the arranged temperature and humidity sensors, and the valve is controlled by a program to discharge or return materials, so that the process has the potential of data management, and another solution is provided for the fermentation of tobacco materials.
