Description
本発明は、キセル等に用いられる刻みたばこを形成するたばこ葉裁刻機及びたばこ葉裁刻方法に関する。
The present invention relates to a tobacco leaf cutter and a tobacco leaf cutting method for forming chopped tobacco used for xels and the like.
煙管（キセル）が特許文献１に開示されている。キセルは、火皿に刻みたばこを詰め、刻みたばこに火をつけてふかすものである。このキセルに用いられる刻みたばこは、シガレットに用いられている刻みたばこ（一般的に０．８mm幅程）よりも細い。
A smoke pipe (xel) is disclosed in Patent Document 1. Xels are stuffed cigarettes in a pan, and the chopped cigarettes are set on fire. The chopped cigarette used in this xeller is thinner than the chopped cigarette used in cigarettes (generally about 0.8 mm wide).
一方、たばこ葉は収穫後に吊り下げられて乾燥されるため、縮れた状態（絞り葉）になっている。刻みたばこは、たばこ葉を重ね合わせた状態で裁刻されて形成されるが、絞り葉のままだと重ね合わせた場合に粗密部分が生じ、このまま裁刻すると切り損じ品に分類される蝶葉や細粉が発生し、均一な幅で裁刻できない。このため、従来では絞り葉を広げるための葉のし作業を行い、重ね合わせた場合に粗密部分が生じないようにしていた。
On the other hand, since tobacco leaves are hung after harvesting and dried, they are in a crimped state (drawn leaves). Chopped tobacco is formed by cutting tobacco leaves on top of each other, but if the leaves are left as they are, the dense and dense parts are produced. Fine powder is generated and cannot be cut with uniform width. For this reason, in the past, leaf cutting work was performed to widen the aperture leaves, so that the dense and dense portions did not occur when they were overlapped.
この葉のし作業はたばこ葉一枚一枚を手作業で行うため、多くの時間と労力が必要となっている。この葉のし作業があるため、細く均一な幅の刻みたばこの迅速な裁刻が困難となっている。

本発明によれば、キセル等に用いる刻みたばことして十分に使用できるようにたばこ葉を細く均一な幅に迅速に裁刻することができる。
According to the present invention, it is possible to quickly cut a tobacco leaf into a thin and uniform width so that it can be used sufficiently by chopping tobacco used for xels or the like.
図1に示すように、本発明に係るたばこ葉裁刻機１は、圧搾装置2と裁刻装置3とを備えている。圧搾装置2は、ケース4とプレッシャー5とを含んでいる。ケース4は上面が開口した略直方体形状であり、その内寸は縦２００ｍｍ×横２００ｍｍ×高さ１１０ｍｍである。なお、ケース４の外形や内寸は適宜変更可能である。プレッシャー５はケース４の上方に配され、ケース４の内寸に沿った形状をしている。したがって、プレッシャー５はケース４内に挿入可能である。たばこ葉は、絞り葉を原料工場でスレッシング（除骨）処理した葉片（ラミナ）を搬送のためにある程度圧縮されて梱包体６とされている。この梱包体６は略直方体形状であり、その外寸はケース４の内寸以内に収まるように切り出して供給される。
As shown in FIG. 1, the tobacco leaf cutter 1 according to the present invention includes a pressing device 2 and a cutting device 3. The pressing device 2 includes a case 4 and a pressure 5. The case 4 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape with an upper surface opened, and the inner dimension is 200 mm long × 200 mm wide × 110 mm high. Note that the outer shape and inner size of the case 4 can be changed as appropriate. The pressure 5 is disposed above the case 4 and has a shape along the inner dimension of the case 4. Therefore, the pressure 5 can be inserted into the case 4. Tobacco leaves are made into a package 6 by compressing leaf pieces (lamina) obtained by squeezing squeezed leaves at a raw material factory to some extent for transportation. The packing body 6 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and is cut out and supplied so that the outer dimension thereof is within the inner dimension of the case 4.
搬送された梱包体６は、ケース４内に充填される。ケース内の梱包体６は、プレッシャー５によって上方から押圧される（図１の矢印Ａ方向）。または反対方向の下方からでも横からでもよい。梱包体６はこのプレッシャー５による押圧によって圧搾され、タバコブロック７となる。圧搾は、高さ方向に約１／１０となるように行われるので、タバコブロック７の外寸は縦２００ｍｍ×横２００ｍｍ×高さ１１ｍｍである。なお、この圧搾装置２による梱包体６の圧搾は、バッチ式（バッチ処理）にて行われる。
The transported package 6 is filled in the case 4. The package 6 in the case is pressed from above by the pressure 5 (in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1). Alternatively, it may be from below or in the opposite direction. The package 6 is pressed by the pressure 5 to form a tobacco block 7. Since the pressing is performed to be about 1/10 in the height direction, the outer dimensions of the tobacco block 7 are 200 mm long × 200 mm wide × 11 mm high. In addition, pressing of the package 6 by the pressing device 2 is performed in a batch type (batch processing).
また、ケース４に充填されるたばこ葉は、梱包体６を一度ばらした一枚一枚のたばこ葉、または葉たばこ農家から収納された絞り葉の状態であってもよい。図１のように梱包体６を用いれば、搬送された梱包体６をばらすことなく利用できるので、生産性が高まる。また、水分調整のための調和作業を行ってもよい。裁刻装置３に送られるタバコブロック７のたばこ葉の密度は、５００ｋｇ／ｍ３～９００ｋｇ／ｍ３が好ましい。この範囲とすることで、後の裁刻工程でより高品質な裁刻が可能となる。この範囲を下回ると、たばこ葉の粗密部分が生じている可能性が高く、蝶葉や細粉が発生しやすくなってしまう。また、この範囲を上回ると、裁刻装置３で裁刻するには固すぎてしまうか、裁刻できても刻みが1本1本に解れにくくなる。梱包体６のたばこ葉の密度は、２５０ｋｇ／ｍ３程度であるので、梱包体６をそのまま利用する場合でも圧搾は必要である。
In addition, the tobacco leaf filled in the case 4 may be in the state of each tobacco leaf from which the packing body 6 has been released once, or a state of a squeezed leaf stored from a leaf tobacco farmer. If the packaging body 6 is used as shown in FIG. 1, the transported packaging body 6 can be used without being separated, so that productivity is increased. Moreover, you may perform the harmony work for moisture adjustment. The density of the tobacco leaves of the tobacco block 7 sent to the cutting device 3 is preferably 500 kg / m 3 to 900 kg / m 3 . By setting it within this range, it becomes possible to perform higher quality engraving in a later engraving process. Below this range, there is a high possibility that the tobacco leaf is dense and dense, but butterfly leaves and fine powder are likely to be generated. Further, if it exceeds this range, it will be too hard to be cut by the cutting apparatus 3, or even if it can be cut, it will be difficult to unravel each one. Since the density of the tobacco leaf of the package 6 is about 250 kg / m 3 , pressing is required even when the package 6 is used as it is.
圧搾後、タバコブロック７に含まれるたばこ葉の水分は、１３％ＷＢ～１６％ＷＢが好ましい。この範囲とすることで、後の裁刻工程でより高品質な裁刻が可能となる。この範囲を下回ると、圧搾時に原料が破砕したり、裁刻の際に細粉が発生したりする可能性がある。また、この範囲を上回ると、圧搾時に水がにじみ出てしまったり、裁刻後に刻みが1本1本解しにくくなったりしてしまう。
After squeezing, the moisture of the tobacco leaves contained in the tobacco block 7 is preferably 13% WB to 16% WB. By setting it within this range, it becomes possible to perform higher quality engraving in a later engraving process. Below this range, the raw material may be crushed during pressing, or fine powder may be generated during cutting. In addition, if it exceeds this range, water will ooze out during squeezing, or it will be difficult to unravel each piece after cutting.
また、特に絞り葉を直接用いる場合、圧搾の前に、たばこ葉の中骨は外観や品質上の観点から除去した方が好ましい。このため、必要であれば中骨を除去する除骨作業を行うが、除骨作業の前に中骨を除去しやすくするために調湿作業を行ってもよい。
In particular, when the squeezed leaf is used directly, it is preferable to remove the inner bone of the tobacco leaf from the viewpoint of appearance and quality before pressing. For this reason, if necessary, a bone removing operation for removing the middle bone is performed. However, a humidity adjusting operation may be performed before the bone removing operation to facilitate removal of the middle bone.
このように、たばこ葉をケース４に充填し、ケース４内のたばこ葉をプレッシャー５にて押圧してブロック状のタバコブロック７をバッチ処理にて形成することが圧搾工程である。このような圧搾工程を行うことにより、タバコブロック７にたばこ葉の粗密部分がなくなるので、従来行っていたいわゆる葉のし作業が不要となる。
Thus, the pressing process is to fill the case 4 with the tobacco leaf and press the tobacco leaf in the case 4 with the pressure 5 to form the block-shaped tobacco block 7 by batch processing. By performing such a pressing process, the tobacco block 7 has no dense and dense portions of tobacco leaves, and so-called leaf cutting work that has been conventionally performed is unnecessary.
上述したように、プレッシャー５によって形成されたタバコブロック７は、ケース４から取り出されてスロープ１０を滑り落ち（図１の矢印Ｄ方向）、裁刻装置３に送られる。なお、圧搾装置から裁刻装置への搬送については、バッチ処理にて形成されてケース４から取り出されたタバコブロック７を搬送できれば、方法はスロープ１０に限定されることはなく、他の機構を用いたり人手でおこなっても良い。
As described above, the cigarette block 7 formed by the pressure 5 is taken out from the case 4 and slides down the slope 10 (in the direction of arrow D in FIG. 1), and is sent to the cutting device 3. In addition, about the conveyance from a pressing apparatus to a cutting apparatus, if the tobacco block 7 formed in the batch process and taken out from the case 4 can be conveyed, the method is not limited to the slope 10, and other mechanisms are used. It can be used or done manually.
スロープ１０を滑り落ちたタバコブロック７は、裁刻装置３の手前側に配設された成形装置１１を通過する。成形装置１１は、裁刻装置３での進行方向に対して前後側が傾斜した断面となるようにタバコブロック７をタバコブロック成形体１２とする。例えば、図で示した平行四辺形形状の他に、台形形状等がある。
The cigarette block 7 that has slid down the slope 10 passes through a molding device 11 disposed on the front side of the cutting device 3. The molding apparatus 11 uses the tobacco block 7 as the tobacco block molded body 12 so that the front and rear sides are inclined with respect to the traveling direction of the cutting apparatus 3. For example, in addition to the parallelogram shape shown in the figure, there are trapezoidal shapes and the like.
ここで、上述した容器４やプレッシャー５の形状を適宜変更させて、梱包体６からタバコブロック成形体１２を形成してもよい。例えば、図２のように容器４の一側面４ａを傾斜させ、プレッシャー５に突出した傾斜部５ａを設けることで、断面が平行四辺形のタバコブロック成形体１２を形成できる。あるいは、図３のように容器４の対向する二側面４ａ、４ｂを傾斜させ、プレッシャー５でそのまま押圧すると断面が台形のタバコブロック成形体１２を形成できる。
Here, the shape of the container 4 or the pressure 5 described above may be appropriately changed to form the tobacco block molded body 12 from the package 6. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the side surface 4a of the container 4 is inclined, and the inclined part 5a protruding from the pressure 5 is provided, whereby the tobacco block molded body 12 having a parallelogram cross section can be formed. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, when the opposing two side surfaces 4 a and 4 b of the container 4 are inclined and pressed by the pressure 5 as it is, a tobacco block molded body 12 having a trapezoidal cross section can be formed.
裁刻装置３は、台８とブレード９とを含んでいる。裁刻装置３は、台８に載置されて一方向（図１の矢印Ｂ方向）に移動するタバコブロック成形体１２（タバコブロック７）をブレード９にて裁刻して刻みたばこ１３を形成するものである。なお、タバコブロックを移動させる移動機構は例えばプッシャー１６を用いたり、台８をベルトコンベアで形成することで実現できる。台８の一部は裁刻領域１４として形成されていて、この裁刻領域１４にてタバコブロック成形体１２は裁刻される。ブレード９は、台８上のタバコブロック成形体１２の移動方向（図１の矢印Ｂ方向）に対して垂直方向に直線的に往復運動する（図１の矢印Ｃ方向）。
The cutting apparatus 3 includes a table 8 and a blade 9. The cutting device 3 forms a tobacco 13 by cutting a tobacco block molded body 12 (tobacco block 7) placed on a table 8 and moving in one direction (in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 1) with a blade 9. Is. The moving mechanism for moving the tobacco block can be realized by using, for example, the pusher 16 or by forming the table 8 with a belt conveyor. A part of the table 8 is formed as a cutting area 14, and the tobacco block molded body 12 is cut in the cutting area 14. The blade 9 reciprocates linearly (in the direction of arrow C in FIG. 1) in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the tobacco block molded body 12 on the table 8 (in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 1).
また、円滑に裁刻を進める観点からブレード９は、刻みたばこ１３の排出側に切れ角を有する片刃構造が好ましい。ブレード９の１往復に対し台８上のタバコブロックが設定裁刻幅(0.1～0.3mm)だけ間欠送りをする。このようにブレード９を直線的に動かすことで、回転式のブレードを用いるよりも安定して細く均一な幅の刻みたばこ１３を形成することができる。
Further, from the viewpoint of smoothly cutting, the blade 9 preferably has a single-edged structure having a cutting angle on the discharge side of the cut tobacco 13. The cigarette block on the table 8 intermittently feeds the set cutting width (0.1 to 0.3 mm) for one reciprocation of the blade 9. By moving the blade 9 linearly in this way, it is possible to form the cut tobacco 13 having a narrow and uniform width more stably than using the rotary blade.
このとき、上述したようにタバコブロック成形体１２の進行方向に対する前後側は傾斜した断面となっているので、ブレード９の往復運動方向に対して傾斜している。このため、真上から直線的に往復運動するブレード９を用いたときに裁刻しやすく、安定した品質で裁刻することができる。すなわち、図示したように、前後のタバコブロック成形体１２の傾斜部分を重ねて移動させれば、タバコブロック成形体１２の端部においても安定した品質の裁刻を連続して行うことができ、生産性が高まる。したがって、このようにタバコブロック成形体１２の端部においても所望の細さの刻みたばこ１３を形成でき、材料を有効に活用できる。なお、断面が平行四辺形のタバコブロック成形体１２はそのまま台８上に並べていけば良いが、台形の場合は一個おきに反転させて並べる。これにより、隣り合うタバコブロック成形体１２の傾斜部分は重なる。
At this time, as described above, the front and rear sides of the tobacco block molded body 12 with respect to the traveling direction have an inclined cross section, and therefore the blade 9 is inclined with respect to the reciprocating direction. For this reason, when using the blade 9 that reciprocates linearly from directly above, it is easy to cut and can be cut with stable quality. That is, as shown in the figure, if the inclined portions of the front and rear tobacco block molded bodies 12 are moved in an overlapping manner, stable quality cutting can be performed continuously even at the end of the tobacco block molded body 12, Productivity increases. Therefore, the tobacco 13 having a desired fineness can be formed at the end of the tobacco block molded body 12 in this way, and the material can be used effectively. The tobacco block molded bodies 12 having a parallelogram cross-section may be arranged on the table 8 as they are, but in the case of a trapezoid, they are reversed and arranged. Thereby, the inclination part of the adjacent tobacco block molded object 12 overlaps.
タバコブロック成形体１２の裁刻時、裁刻領域１４での台８とタバコブロック成形体１２との間には、緩衝材としてのたばこ葉の粉１５が介在されている。このようにたばこ葉の粉１５を敷いておくことにより、ブレード９に対する台８の保護を図ることができ、また裁刻後に形成された刻みたばこ１３に混入されたとしても特に品質に影響はない。刻みたばこ１３に混入されても影響されないものであればどのような植物性繊維を用いてもよく、例えば木綿を用いてもよい。
When the tobacco block molded body 12 is cut, tobacco leaf powder 15 as a buffer material is interposed between the base 8 and the tobacco block molded body 12 in the cutting area 14. By laying tobacco leaf powder 15 in this way, it is possible to protect the base 8 against the blade 9, and even if it is mixed in the tobacco 13 formed after the cutting, the quality is not particularly affected. Any vegetable fiber may be used as long as it is not affected even if it is mixed in the chopped tobacco 13, for example, cotton may be used.
裁刻されて形成された刻みたばこ１３の幅は０．１ｍｍ～０．３ｍｍである。これは、キセルに用いる刻みたばこ１３のサイズとしては最適であり、このような用途に用いる刻みたばこ１３を形成するための装置として上述したたばこ葉裁刻機１は好適に適用できる。すなわち、細い刻みたばことはキセルに用いることが最適な幅の刻みたばこのことである。なお、ブレード９によるタバコブロック７の裁刻は、タバコブロック形成後５時間以内に行われることが好ましい。時間の経過とともに圧搾されたタバコブロック７が膨らんでしまい、より高品質な裁刻ができなくなってしまうからである。
The width of the cut tobacco 13 formed by cutting is 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm. This is optimal for the size of the cut tobacco 13 used for the xels, and the above-described tobacco leaf cutter 1 can be suitably applied as an apparatus for forming the cut tobacco 13 used for such applications. That is, a thin chopped cigarette is a chopped cigarette having the optimum width for use in a xel. The tobacco block 7 is preferably cut by the blade 9 within 5 hours after the tobacco block is formed. This is because the squeezed cigarette block 7 swells with the passage of time, making it impossible to perform higher quality cutting.
このように、タバコブロック成形体１２（タバコブロック７）を台８に載置して一方向に移動させ、台８の一部の領域である裁刻領域１４にてブレード９を用いてタバコブロック成形体１２を裁刻して刻みたばこ１３を形成するのが裁刻工程である。本発明のたばこ葉裁刻方法は、上述した圧搾工程と裁刻工程を少なくとも備えている。
