[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a leaf tobacco dryer.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In conventional leaf tobacco dryers, a pair of left and right leaf tobacco suspension rails are installed on the side wall of the drying chamber, which has a warm air introduction chamber that connects to the warm air generator and is integrally formed at the bottom via a slatted floor. A hanger containing many fresh leaves is hung on this suspension rail.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, from the leaf filling work place where the hangers are filled up, it is necessary to carry the hangers that have been filled up and hung up a lot of fresh leaves to the drying room one by one and mount them on the hanging rails one by one. In order to unload dried leaves, each hanger must be unloaded one by one from the hanging rails in the drying room and taken to the work place where many hanger leaves are used.

On the other hand, in a large-scale facility such as a common drying facility, the leaf filling work place or the detaching work place and the dryer are often provided at a considerable distance from each other, and a hanger filled with leaves is used between them. You have to make many round trips. Moreover, a hanger with a large number of leaf cigarettes hanging is very heavy.

As described above, a series of operations such as hanging of fresh leaves and unloading of dry leaves in the drying of leaf tobacco is a heavy labor and requires a lot of manpower. There is a serious problem of rising labor costs, labor shortage, and aging of workers due to this, and labor saving of work is strongly desired.

The present invention has been made in view of the present situation, and the purpose thereof is to dry a leaf tobacco which can save labor in a series of operations such as hanging a fresh leaf and drying and unloading of the dry leaf. The equipment is provided.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the leaf tobacco drying device of the present invention is constructed by assembling a warm air generator, a drying chamber having a warm air blower outlet at the lower part of one side wall for communicating with the warm air generator, and rods. It is configured with a moving wheel at the bottom so that it can be freely taken in and out of the drying chamber, and at the same height as the upper edge of the hot air outlet of the drying chamber or at a height slightly higher than that, it has a drain-like shape. It is equipped with a bottom plate and one or more hanging racks with a pair of left and right rails for hanger mounting on the side surface. A hanger filled with leaf tobacco is used for hanger mounting of the above hanging racks. It is mounted on a rail and stored in a drying room together with the rack so that it can be dried.

[0008]

[Action]

 In the leaf tobacco dryer configured as described above, a large number of leaf cigarettes are hung together in a rack and hung in a drying room or unloaded, and a leaf-stuffed hanger is used for the leaf-stuffing work place and removal. There is no need to go back and forth between the work area and the drying room.

【Example】

 An example of implementation of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, A is a leaf tobacco dryer, and a is a drying chamber thereof, which is integrally provided with a warm air generator b adjacent to one side wall.

The drying chamber a is assembled so that the floor surface thereof is flush with the floor surface outside the drying chamber a, and the warm air outlet 2 is provided at the lower portion of the side wall 1 adjacent to the hot air generator b and the upper portion is provided at the upper portion thereof. Has respective exhaust ports 3 opened, and is connected to the warm air generator b through the warm air blowing port 2 and the exhaust port 3.

The above-mentioned drying chamber a does not have a special facility for suspending leaf tobacco, such as a rail for suspending leaf tobacco, which is provided in a conventional drying chamber, on the inner surface of the side wall, and a suspending rack c described later is used. It is designed to hang leaf tobacco.

The warm air generator b has a conventionally well-known hot air generator 4 including a furnace equipped with a burner, a blower, etc., and is equipped with an exhaust duct 5, an outside air inlet 6, etc. The warm air created in step 2 is sent into the drying chamber a from the warm air outlet 2 of the drying chamber a, and the air in the drying chamber a is sucked from the exhaust port 3 of the drying chamber a, and a part of it is exhausted to the exhaust duct 5. The air is discharged to the outside through the waste heat recovery device (not shown) from the outside air introduction port 6 and is again heated to the drying chamber a.

The hanging rack c is composed of a slatted bottom plate 7 made of a perforated plate, a pair of left and right side frames 8 assembled along a left and right side edge of the bottom plate 7 by being assembled by a steel rod or the like, and left and right sides. A fixing rod 9 for connecting and fixing the side frames 8 to each other at their rear ends, and a holding rod 10 which is detachably mounted across the front end portions of the left and right side frames 8 both provide a method for forming the front of the drying chamber a. It is composed of a flat rectangular box frame having a corresponding frontage dimension and a depth dimension that is one-half to one-half of the depth method of the drying chamber, and the bottom is equipped with wheels 11 for moving casters and the like. ing.

Therefore, the hanging rack c can be put in and taken out from the drying chamber a, and the bottom plate 7 has its height position in the state where the rack c is housed in the drying chamber a. It is provided to be equal to or slightly higher than the upper edge.

In the hanging rack c, a pair of left and right hanger body mounting rails 12 extending in the front-back direction, that is, the depth direction are horizontally attached to the left and right side frames 8. The hanger body mounting rails 12 are provided in two to three steps (two steps in the illustrated example). The distance between the upper and lower rails 12 and the distance between the lowest rail 12 and the bottom plate 7 are formed to be slightly larger than the length of the leaf tobacco. ing.

The number of hanging racks c prepared for one drying chamber a differs depending on the sizes of the drying chamber a and the hanging rack c, but the sum of the planar areas of the hanging racks c is dry. It is necessary to provide the necessary number so as to be approximately equal to the area of the plane of the chamber a.

Therefore, such a leaf tobacco dryer A accommodates a required number of hanging racks c in the drying chamber a side by side so that the space in the drying chamber a is set by the bottom plate 7 of each hanging rack c. It is divided into upper and lower parts, and the hot air outlet 2 is opened toward the space 20 below the bottom plate 7 of the hanging rack c.

As a result, the warm air produced by the warm air generator b is blown out from the warm air outlet 2 into the space 20 below the hanging rack c, and is opened by the bottom plate 7 of each hanging rack c. It is rectified by a number of holes 13 and rises uniformly into the space 21 above the bottom plate 7. That is, the bottom plate 7 of the hanger suspension rack c fulfills the function equivalent to the sludge floor in the drying chamber of the conventional leaf tobacco dryer.

In the leaf tobacco dryer A configured as described above, the hanging rack c is brought near the leaf packing work table, and the hangers d for which the leaf packing has been completed are racked for a predetermined number of racks c. It is mounted on 12, and at this time, the holding rod 10 of the hanging rack c can be removed from the rack c in order to facilitate the hanging work. Then, the holding rod 10 is mounted on the rack c after the hanging operation is finished and presses the suspended leaf tobacco to prevent the leaf tobacco from escaping from the rack c.

The hanging rack c on which a predetermined number of leaf-stuffed hangers d are mounted is moved to the dryer A while the hangers d are mounted, and a predetermined number of the hangers c are housed side by side in the drying chamber a, according to the conventional method. Perform drying work. After the drying is completed, the hanging rack c is pulled out from the drying chamber a while the dried leaves are suspended and moved to a place for removing the dried leaves, and then the hanger d is unloaded from the hanging rack c. Further, the dry leaves are removed from the hanger d. Reference numeral 14 in the drawing denotes a guide roller, which is provided on the left and right side surfaces of the hanging rack to facilitate the taking in and out of the drying chamber a.

【effect】

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. (1). When hanging leaf tobacco, hang the leaf-stuffed hangers on the hanging rack at the required number near the place where fresh leaves are packed in the hangers, and move the hanging rack that hangs the leaf tobacco to the drying room. The entire hanging rack can be stored in the drying room and dried.When unloading dry leaves, move them to the unloading place together with the hanging rack while hung on the hanging rack. Therefore, it is not necessary to carry back and forth between the stuffing work place, the removing work place and the drying room with each one of the hangers hanging the leaf tobacco. Therefore, a series of operations such as hanging of fresh leaves and unloading of dry leaves during the drying of leaf tobacco can significantly reduce the labor, and even middle-aged and elderly people can work reasonably and the number of workers can be greatly reduced. (2). Since the hanging rack was provided with a slatted bottom plate and the height position of the bottom plate was made equal to or slightly higher than the upper edge of the hot air outlet of the drying chamber, the hot air blown out from the hot air outlet 2 was suspended. It can be introduced into the space below the bottom plate of the rack, rectified by a large number of holes opened in the bottom plate and raised to the space above the bottom plate 7 evenly, and can be installed in a drying chamber like a conventional leaf tobacco dryer. The structure of the drying chamber is simplified because it is not necessary to provide a slatted floor below which a space for introducing hot air is formed.
