Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to the structure of a leaf stuffing basket used for drying leaf tobacco. In particular, the present invention relates to a structure of a basket suitable for packing tobacco leaves in random orientations without arranging them.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional tobacco leaf drying, the harvested tobacco leaves are arranged and processed. If tobacco leaves were harvested one by one by hand, this would not be a problem, but with mechanical harvesting, the work of arranging and packing the tobacco leaves that were harvested in different directions can be omitted. becomes a new problem. This idea was made based on such a request.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

If the harvested tobacco leaves are packed in pieces without arranging them, the tobacco leaves will shrink as the drying progresses, but this will cause the tobacco leaves to move within the basket and create voids due to the drying air. This causes uneven flow, resulting in excessive dryness in some areas and stuffiness in others, making it impossible to dry uniformly. This invention was devised to solve the problems of the prior art.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has the following features: a. The four corners of the two upper and lower rectangular frames 2 are attached to the vertical frame 3, and between the vertical frames 3 on the side, a plurality of guide frames 4 are provided parallel to the rectangular frame 2 and parallel to each other. On the back side, there is a basket main body 1 having a rectangular parallelepiped structure with a needle receiving rod 8 attached to a vertical frame 3 at the same position as a guide frame 4.

(b) An insertion frame 11 having a structure in which insertion rods 13 provided perpendicularly to both ends of a sheet metal fitting 12 are attached, and a plurality of needles 14 are provided between both insertion rods 13 in parallel with the insertion rods 13.

c) A hook portion 17 at one end and a stop portion 18 at the other end
A clamp 15 having the same.

The gist of the present invention is a basket for stuffing tobacco leaves, which is characterized by comprising:

Hereinafter, an embodiment of this invention will be described in more detail based on the drawings.

Figure 1 shows a basket body 1 and an insertion frame 11 that constitute the tobacco leaf stuffing basket of this invention.
and FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the structure of the presser metal fittings 15 in a separated state. In the figure, reference numeral 2 denotes a rectangular frame, and by attaching vertical frames to the four corners of the two upper and lower rectangular frames 2, the basket main body 1 is formed into a rectangular parallelepiped as a whole. 4 is a guide frame, and a plurality of guide frames 4 are provided between the vertical frames 3 on the side surface of the basket body 1 at equal intervals and parallel to each other with respect to the rectangular frame 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, the cross-sectional shape of this guide frame 4 has a structure in which L-shaped rods 6 are attached to both outer sides of a U-shaped rod 5, thereby forming an insertion gap 7. The guide frames 4 are attached to both left and right side surfaces of the basket body 1 at the same position, with their insertion gaps 7 facing each other.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a needle receiving rod, and this needle receiving rod 8 is attached to the vertical frame 3 at the same position as the guide frame 4 on the back side of the basket main body 1. Reference numeral 9 denotes a vertical rod which is attached at right angles to these needle receiving rods 8 and whose both ends are fixed to the upper and lower rectangular frames 2.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a metal plate of the insertion frame 11, and an insertion rod 1 is provided at both ends thereof in a direction perpendicular to the metal plate 12.
3 is provided. Further, a plurality of needles 14 are provided between the insertion rods 13 at both ends in parallel to the insertion rods 13. The spacing between the insertion rods 13 provided at both ends of the insertion frame 11 is determined to match the spacing between the opposing guide frames 4 on the sides of the basket body 1. Reference numeral 16 designates a back plate of the presser metal fitting 15, and a hanging portion 17 and a stop portion 18 are provided at both ends thereof, and a removal piece 19 is attached to the stop portion 18.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged side view of the presser fitting 15,
In the figure, the presser metal fitting 15 has a hanging portion 1 at one end.
7 is hung on one of the rectangular frames 2 of the basket body 1, the stopper part 18 at the other end is set to a length that allows it to be hung on the other rectangular frame 2.

[Effect]

The basket body 1 is placed with the back side provided with the needle receiving rod 8 facing downwards with the presser metal fitting 15 and the insertion frame 11 removed, and the basket body 1 is harvested from the front side of the upper basket body 1. Stack up the tobacco leaves. At this time, it is not necessary to align the direction of the leaf tobacco. After stacking an appropriate amount of leaf tobacco that can be accommodated in the basket body 1, the insertion frame 11 is inserted from above while inserting the insertion rod 13 into the insertion gap 7 of the guide frame 4. Accordingly, the needle 14 of the insertion frame 11 is inserted through the stacked tobacco leaves, and the tip of the needle 14 reaches the upper side of the needle receiving rod 8 in a completely inserted state.

Similarly, the insertion frames 11 are sequentially inserted into the plurality of pairs of guide frames 4 provided on the side surface of the basket body 1, respectively. After inserting the insertion frame 11 into the entire guide frame 4, it is fixed from the outside with a presser metal fitting 15. That is, the hanging part 17 at one end of the presser metal fitting 15 is hung on one front side rectangular frame 2, and the stop part 18 at the other end is hung on the other front side rectangular frame 2.
hang it on. Note that the removal piece 1 of the stopper 18
9 is convenient for removing the presser metal fitting 15 from the latched state.

As described above, tobacco leaves are packed in the basket main body 1 in different orientations, and these tobacco leaves are supported by the needles 14 provided in a large number of insertion frames 11. The basket body 1 filled with leaf tobacco is lifted up and placed in a drying chamber with one rectangular frame 2 facing down and the other rectangular frame 2 facing up, and is dried.
In this state, the tips of the numerous needles 14 are supported by the needle receiving rods 8 which are in contact with the lower part thereof, so that the needles 14 are prevented from bending due to the weight of the leaf tobacco. At this time, the packed tobacco leaves are supported by a large number of needles 14, so that the evenly packed state of the tobacco leaves is not disturbed. Furthermore, even if the leaf tobacco shrinks as the drying progresses, the state in which the leaf tobacco is uniformly packed inside the basket body 1 does not change, and uneven drying can be prevented from occurring.

After drying is completed, the presser metal fitting 15 and then the insertion frame 11 are removed from the basket body 1, and the dried leaf tobacco can be taken out.

[Effect of idea]

The tobacco leaf stuffing basket of this invention has the structure and function described in detail above, and even if the machine-harvested loose tobacco leaves are stored in the same direction, each tobacco leaf will remain firmly in the basket. Since the leaves are pierced and held by needles, the uniform state of packed leaves at the time of storage is maintained even during the drying process, resulting in uniform drying.

This reduces the work involved in harvesting and drying tobacco leaves.
