(54) DEVICE FOR SUBMISSION AND HANDLING OF TOBACCO LEAVES ON NEEDLES

I

This invention relates to post-harvest processing of tobacco.

A device for feeding and lowering tobacco leaves to needles, which is a rectangular shaped container consisting of walls and bottom of a river, is known.

However, such a device does not ensure uniform density throughout the entire volume of the container, which worsens the conditions for the tobacco leaves to be filled with a drying agent when the stitched needles are installed in the drying chamber and leads to uneven drying and an increase in its duration.

The purpose of the invention is to ensure uniform density of tobacco when stitching.

This goal is achieved by the fact that, in a device made in the form of a container containing walls and a bottom, the latter is made of cantilever fingers fastened to the lath, and the bar is spring-loaded and installed with the possibility of rotation about the horizontal axis.

FIG. 1 schematically shows the proposed device, a perspective view, in FIG. 2-5 - a device at various stages of the technological process of feeding tobacco leaves to stringing needles.

Device for feeding and stringing

10 tobacco leaves per needle is a container consisting of a back wall 1, two side walls 2 moving in the grooves 3, a moving bottom 4, filled with fingers 5, mounted on a strap 6, which is installed with the possibility of rotation around a horizontal axles, for which the adjusting springs serve (not shown in the drawing).

The container has the ability to move along the guides 7 attached to the frame 8 with supporting wheels 9. 8 In the upper part of the side walls there are slots 10 for mounting the covers 11 of the cartridge 12 with needles. For insertion of the device into the drying chamber 13, there is a rail track 14, the movement along which and the movement of the bone along the guides 7 is carried out from the electric drive (not shown). The device works as follows. To the container (Fig. 2a), tobacco leaves are laid onto the bottom of the bottom of the tobacco with scoops to wall 1 until the fingers of the bottom 5 are horizontal and this indicates that a portion of the mass of tobacco leaves is placed in the container . At the end of the laying of the leaves of tobacco in the slot 1O, a corner of the cartridge 11 is installed. Using an electric drive, the container with tobacco rises to the upper position (FIG. 26) and is directed along track 14 to the cassette 12 pre-installed in the drying chamber 13. When the tobacco mass is above the cassette (FIG. 3), the capacity begins to move down , while the needles of the cassette pass between the fingers 5 of the moving bottom, and the needles penetrate the tobacco mass (Fig 4), and when the cassette reaches the bottom of the cassette the moving fingers stop and the bone that continues to descend condenses the tobacco mass until the cover 11 won't close for olnennuyu on leaves of tobacco cassette, then the device along the track 14 returns to its initial position (FIG, 5) cycle is repeated. Making the bottom of the container in the form of fingers, cantilevered on the spring-loaded bar, allows you to strung tobacco evenly, eliminating manual labor, which increases productivity, improves the quality of dried tobacco and reduces the duration of the drying process. The invention The device for feeding and stringing tobacco leaves on needles, made in the form of a container containing walls and a bottom, is distinguished by the fact that, in order to ensure uniform density of tobacco when stringing, the bottom of the container is made of cantilevers fastened to the plank of fingers, the strap is spring loaded and can be rotated about the horizontal axis.
