Description

葉たばこの除骨分離装置Leaf tobacco deboning device
 本発明は、葉たばこから中骨を除去することで、葉たばこをラミナと中骨とに分離する葉たばこの除骨分離装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a leaf tobacco deboning and separating apparatus for separating leaf tobacco into lamina and middle bone by removing the middle bone from the leaf tobacco.
 たばこ原料工場において、収穫後の葉たばこは、除骨分離装置によって中骨が除骨(スレッシング処理)され、ラミナ(葉肉)と中骨とに分離される。スレッシング処理においては、可能な限り大きなラミナを取り出すことと、処理速度の高速化とが要求される。このため、葉たばこを調湿により高水分状態として、しなやかな状態(外力により破砕されにくい状態)に処理し、その後にスレッシング処理が行われ、スレッシング処理後に必要に応じて乾燥処理が施され、最終的に梱包される。 In the tobacco raw material plant, leaf tobacco after harvest is deboned (threshing processing) of the inner bone by an bone removing device, and is separated into a lamina (meat) and an inner bone. In the threshing process, it is required to take out a lamina as large as possible and to accelerate the processing speed. For this reason, the leaf tobacco is conditioned to a high moisture state and treated to a flexible state (a state in which it is difficult to be crushed by an external force), thereafter a slushing treatment is performed, and a slushing treatment is optionally subjected to a drying treatment. , Will be packed finally.
 特許文献1には、回転ドラムの周面に掻き歯を取り付けたスレッシングギヤを同一回転軸に2つ取り付けた除骨分離装置が開示されている。この装置では、原料投入口からバスケット内に供給された葉たばこをそれぞれのスレッシングギヤによってスレッシング処理を行った後、排出口から取り出せるようにしている。
 また、特許文献2には、ハウジング内で第1のガス流と第2のガス流とにより葉たばこの細断茎材料を風選分離する方法及び装置が開示されている。
Patent Document 1 discloses a bone removing apparatus in which two threading gears having scraping teeth attached to the circumferential surface of a rotating drum are attached to the same rotation shaft. In this apparatus, leaf tobacco supplied from the raw material inlet into the basket can be taken out from the outlet after the threshing process is performed by the respective threshing gears.
Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a method and an apparatus for wind separation of shredded stem material of leaf tobacco by a first gas flow and a second gas flow in a housing.

 ところで、葉たばこは、品種の違いや産地の違いによって、葉の厚さや中骨及びラミナのそれぞれの密度の違いがあることから、葉たばこの種類によって、スレッシング処理に適した水分を設定する必要がある。また、スレッシング処理に適する水分添着のみならず、葉たばこの内容成分変化に着目したとき、水分を一時的に付与してしまうと内容成分の変化が生じてしまい、所望の最終製品品質を満足できない場合がある。よって、水分を付与せずに、或いは付与する水分を少なくした状態でスレッシング処理を行う必要がある。このため、除骨分離装置では、様々な水分値に応じて、スレッシング処理から分離に至るまで、きめ細かい条件設定が必要とされている。 By the way, it is necessary to set the water suitable for the threshing treatment depending on the type of leaf tobacco, because leaf tobacco has different thickness and density of middle bone and lamina depending on the difference of varieties and production area. is there. In addition, when attention is paid not only to the addition of water suitable for the sleshing treatment but also to the change of content components of leaf tobacco, when water is temporarily applied, the change of content components occurs and the desired final product quality can not be satisfied. There is a case. Therefore, it is necessary to perform the threshing process without applying the moisture or in a state in which the applied moisture is reduced. For this reason, in the bone removal apparatus, detailed condition setting is required from the threshing process to the separation in accordance with various water values.
 従って、特許文献1のように2つのスレッシングギヤを要したり、或いは、特許文献2のように2系統のガス流による風選分離を行ったりすると、除骨分離装置における条件設定が更に複雑になり、除骨分離装置も大型化する。このため、葉たばこの品種の多様な物性(密度やもろさ)や含水率に対応した条件設定を容易に行え、且つ、中骨とラミナの分離性能が高いコンパクトな除骨分離装置が求められている。 Therefore, if two threshing gears are required as in Patent Document 1 or if wind separation by gas flow of two systems is performed as in Patent Document 2, the condition setting in the bone removing device becomes more complicated. And the size of the bone removing apparatus also increases.

 図1に示すように、除骨分離装置1は、ケーシング2とカバー4とから概略構成されたハウジング6内にスレッシング部8と風選分離部10とが設けられ、装置単体で原料となる葉たばこから中骨を除去してラミナを分離し回収する、コンパクト且つ移動式の装置である。なお、便宜上、除骨分離装置1における位置関係は、図1で見たときの除骨分離装置1の方向に基づいて説明する。
Hereinafter, a deboning and separating apparatus for leaf tobacco according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the bone removing apparatus 1 is provided with a sleshing unit 8 and a wind separating unit 10 in a housing 6 which is roughly formed of a casing 2 and a cover 4 and becomes a raw material in a single unit. A compact and mobile device that removes inner bones from leaf tobacco to separate and recover lamina. For convenience, the positional relationship in the bone removing apparatus 1 will be described based on the direction of the bone removing apparatus 1 as viewed in FIG. 1.
 ケーシング2は基台12に固定され、カバー4はケーシング2の上端開口を開閉可能に塞いでいる。カバー4の上部にはホッパー14が設けられ、ホッパー14の上端には原料である葉たばこの供給口16が設けられている。供給口16には開閉蓋18が取り付けられ、開閉蓋18を開けることにより、ホッパー14からスレッシング部8に接触することなく安全に葉たばこを投入可能である。ホッパー14の側壁にはアクリル板等から形成された覗き窓20が設けられている。覗き窓20から葉たばこの詰まりの有無等を容易に視認可能である。 The casing 2 is fixed to the base 12, and the cover 4 closes the upper end opening of the casing 2 so as to open and close. A hopper 14 is provided on the top of the cover 4, and an upper end of the hopper 14 is provided with a supply port 16 for leaf tobacco as a raw material. An open / close lid 18 is attached to the supply port 16, and by opening the open / close lid 18, it is possible to safely insert leaf tobacco from the hopper 14 without contacting the threading unit 8. An observation window 20 formed of an acrylic plate or the like is provided on the side wall of the hopper 14. It is possible to easily visually recognize the presence or absence of a clogged leaf cigarette, etc. from the viewing window 20.
 ケーシング2の下端には中骨の排出口22が設けられ、ケーシング2の図1で見て右側端にはラミナの回収口24が設けられている。ケーシング2の排出口22近傍における側壁にはアクリル板等から形成された覗き窓26が設けられている。覗き窓26から中骨の排出状態等を容易に視認可能である。基台12には4つの脚28が取り付けられ、各脚28の下端にはキャスター30がそれぞれ取り付けられている。キャスター30により除骨分離装置1を容易に移動可能である。 At the lower end of the casing 2, a discharge opening 22 for the inner bone is provided, and at the right end of the casing 2 as viewed in FIG. 1, a recovery opening 24 for the lamina is provided. An observation window 26 formed of an acrylic plate or the like is provided on the side wall in the vicinity of the discharge port 22 of the casing 2. It is possible to easily visually recognize the discharge state of the central bone and the like from the viewing window 26. Four legs 28 are attached to the base 12 and casters 30 are attached to the lower ends of the legs 28 respectively. The bone removing apparatus 1 can be easily moved by the caster 30.
 スレッシング部8は、回転ドラム32、第1サーボモータ34、バスケット36を備えている。回転ドラム32は、ケーシング2内に回転自在に収容され、周面に多数の扱歯(threshing tooth)38が設けられている。後で詳述するが、扱歯38の形状や配列等は原料となる葉たばこの品種や含水率に応じて決定される。 The threading unit 8 includes a rotating drum 32, a first servomotor 34, and a basket 36. The rotary drum 32 is rotatably accommodated in the casing 2 and a plurality of threshing teeth 38 are provided on the circumferential surface. As will be described in detail later, the shape and arrangement of the teeth 38 are determined according to the type and moisture content of the leaf tobacco used as the raw material.
 回転ドラム32の回転軸と第1サーボモータ34のモータ軸とは回転ベルト40を介して連結され、第1サーボモータ34は制御ユニット42に電気的に接続されている。制御ユニット42にて設定回転数を変更することにより、回転ドラム32は第1サーボモータ34によって回転数可変に駆動される。バスケット36は、下側凸の湾曲板状をなし、ケーシング2内の回転ドラム32の下側に扱歯38と近接して固定されている。 The rotary shaft of the rotary drum 32 and the motor shaft of the first servomotor 34 are connected via the rotary belt 40, and the first servomotor 34 is electrically connected to the control unit 42. By changing the set rotational speed by the control unit 42, the rotational drum 32 is driven to be variable in rotational speed by the first servomotor 34. The basket 36 is in the shape of a downwardly convex curved plate, and is fixed to the lower side of the rotary drum 32 in the casing 2 in close proximity to the throttling teeth 38.
 バスケット36と扱歯38とは、回転ドラム32の下側において所定の間隙(例えば5mm)を有して離間し、バスケット36には多数の開孔44が穿孔されている。また、バスケット36及び回転ドラム32は、カバー4を開くことでハウジング6から脱着可能に取り付けられている。バスケット36の右上には、遮蔽板46がレバー48を介してカバー4に回動可能に固定されている。 The basket 36 and the teeth teeth 38 are spaced apart from each other on the lower side of the rotary drum 32 with a predetermined gap (for example, 5 mm), and the basket 36 is perforated with a large number of holes 44. Also, the basket 36 and the rotating drum 32 are detachably attached to the housing 6 by opening the cover 4. A shielding plate 46 is rotatably fixed to the cover 4 via a lever 48 at the upper right of the basket 36.
 バスケット36の下面に沿って扱歯38で掻き上げられたラミナ及び中骨は、遮蔽板46によりカバー4内に飛散することが抑制される。それでもバスケット36近傍のカバー4内やケーシング2上部に飛散したラミナ及び中骨は、レバー48を操作して遮蔽板46をバスケット36から離間する方向に開放することにより容易に清掃可能である。 The lamina and the mid bone scraped up by the squeezing teeth 38 along the lower surface of the basket 36 are prevented from scattering into the cover 4 by the shielding plate 46. Nevertheless, the lamina and mid bone scattered in the cover 4 near the basket 36 and in the upper part of the casing 2 can be easily cleaned by operating the lever 48 to open the shielding plate 46 in a direction away from the basket 36.
 風選分離部10は、ケーシング2内のバスケット36の下側に形成され、送風機50、第2サーボモータ52を備えている。風選分離部10の下端に排出口22が位置付けられ、風選分離部10の右側端に回収口24が位置付けられている。送風機50は、風選分離部10の図1で見て左側端の側に設けられ、排出口22の上側を流れて回収口24に向かう空気流を発生させる。 The air separation unit 10 is formed below the basket 36 in the casing 2 and includes a blower 50 and a second servomotor 52. A discharge port 22 is positioned at the lower end of the wind separation unit 10, and a recovery port 24 is positioned at the right end of the wind separation unit 10. The blower 50 is provided on the left end side of the wind separation unit 10 as viewed in FIG. 1 and generates an air flow which flows above the discharge port 22 and is directed to the recovery port 24.
 送風機50は例えばシロッコファン等の多翼送風機であって、送風機50の回転軸と第2サーボモータ52のモータ軸とは回転ベルト54を介して連結されている。第2サーボモータ52は制御ユニット42に電気的に接続され、制御ユニット42にて設定回転数を変更することにより、送風機50は第2サーボモータ52によって風速(風量)可変に駆動される。即ち、制御ユニット42は、第1及び第2サーボモータ34、52を個別に制御可能である。 The blower 50 is, for example, a multi-blade blower such as a sirocco fan, and the rotation shaft of the blower 50 and the motor shaft of the second servomotor 52 are connected via a rotation belt 54. The second servomotor 52 is electrically connected to the control unit 42, and the blower 50 is driven by the second servomotor 52 so that the wind speed (air volume) can be varied by changing the set rotational speed by the control unit 42. That is, the control unit 42 can control the first and second servomotors 34 and 52 individually.
 ケーシング2内には、バスケット36の下側に第1案内板56、第2案内板58が取り付けられ、送風機50の下側に第3案内板60が取り付けられている。第1案内板56は、バスケット36の左下に設けられ、折曲板状をなし、ケーシング2内にて、バスケット36の開孔44を通過して落下する中骨及びラミナの通路62の一部を区画する一方、送風機50から送られる空気流の流路64の一部を区画する。 In the casing 2, the first guide plate 56 and the second guide plate 58 are attached to the lower side of the basket 36, and the third guide plate 60 is attached to the lower side of the blower 50. The first guide plate 56 is provided at the lower left of the basket 36 and is in the shape of a bent plate, and is a part of the middle bone and lamina passage 62 which falls through the opening 44 of the basket 36 in the casing 2. And part of the flow path 64 of the air flow sent from the blower 50.
 第2案内板58は、バスケット36の右下に設けられ、折曲板状をなし、ケーシング2内にて通路62の一部を区画する。第3案内板60は、折曲板状をなし、ケーシング2内にて、流路64の一部を区画する一方、排気口22に至る中骨の排出路66の一部を区画する。 The second guide plate 58 is provided at the lower right of the basket 36, has a bent plate shape, and defines a part of the passage 62 in the casing 2. The third guide plate 60 is in the form of a bent plate and defines a part of the flow path 64 in the casing 2 and a part of the discharge path 66 of the middle bone leading to the exhaust port 22.
 ここで、本実施形態の除骨分離装置1には、風選分離部10にてラミナの回収口24の下縁24aを形成する邪魔板68と、邪魔板68の調整機構70とが設けられている。邪魔板68は、図1で見て左下から右上に向けて傾斜して延設され、ラミナを回収口24に導く流路64の一部を区画している。邪魔板68は、上側板68aと下側板68bとを重ねて形成され、上側板68aは下側板68bに対してスライド自在に配置されている。 Here, a baffle plate 68 which forms the lower edge 24 a of the recovery port 24 of the lamina in the wind separation unit 10 and an adjustment mechanism 70 of the baffle plate 68 are provided in the bone removing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment. ing. The baffle plate 68 is inclined and extended from the lower left to the upper right in FIG. 1 and defines a part of the flow path 64 for guiding the lamina to the recovery port 24. The baffle plate 68 is formed by overlapping the upper side plate 68a and the lower side plate 68b, and the upper side plate 68a is disposed slidably with respect to the lower side plate 68b.
 調整機構70は、蝶ねじ72、長孔74、目盛板76から構成され、ケーシング2の両側壁に設けられている。蝶ねじ72は、邪魔板68を、上側板68aが下側板68bに対してスライド自在に且つ邪魔板68が傾動自在にケーシング2の側壁に固定している。長孔74は、ケーシング2の側壁に開口され、図1で見て右下から左上に長い形状をなし、蝶ねじ72が螺合される。目盛板76は、ケーシング2の側壁に貼り付けられている。 The adjusting mechanism 70 is composed of a thumb screw 72, an elongated hole 74, and a scale plate 76, and is provided on both side walls of the casing 2. The thumb screw 72 secures the baffle plate 68 to the side wall of the casing 2 such that the upper plate 68a can slide relative to the lower plate 68b and the baffle 68 can tilt. The long hole 74 is opened in the side wall of the casing 2 and has a long shape from the lower right to the upper left as viewed in FIG. 1, and the thumbscrew 72 is screwed. The scale plate 76 is attached to the side wall of the casing 2.
 調整機構70による邪魔板68の調整作業においては、蝶ねじ72のヘッドを手で緩めることにより、上側板68aが下側板68bに対してスライド可能となる。これにより、邪魔板68の伸縮が許容され、下縁24aの移動により回収口24の開口面積が変更可能である。この際、併せて長孔74における蝶ねじ72のねじ部の移動が可能となり、これより蝶ねじ72を中心とした邪魔板68の傾動が許容される。 In the adjustment work of the baffle plate 68 by the adjustment mechanism 70, the upper plate 68a can slide relative to the lower plate 68b by loosening the head of the thumb screw 72 by hand. Thereby, expansion and contraction of the baffle plate 68 is permitted, and the opening area of the recovery port 24 can be changed by the movement of the lower edge 24 a. At this time, it is also possible to move the screw portion of the thumb screw 72 in the long hole 74, thereby allowing tilting of the baffle 68 around the thumb screw 72.
 邪魔板68は回収口24近傍における空気流の流路64の一部を区画しているため、上述した邪魔板68の伸縮及び傾動によって流路64が変更可能である。邪魔板68の調整作業の際、目盛板76に記載された目盛りを確認することにより、ケーシング2の両側壁において邪魔板68を図1で見て手前奥対称に固定可能となり、邪魔板68が図1で見て手前奥方向にずれた状態で固定されないようにすることができる。 Since the baffle plate 68 divides a part of the flow path 64 of the air flow in the vicinity of the recovery port 24, the flow path 64 can be changed by the expansion and contraction and tilting of the baffle plate 68 described above. In the adjustment operation of the baffle plate 68, by confirming the scale described on the scale plate 76, the baffle plate 68 can be symmetrically fixed on the both side walls of the casing 2 as viewed in FIG. It can be made not to be fixed in the state which shifted in the front back direction seeing in FIG.
 以下、図2を参照して、除骨分離装置1にて葉たばこをラミナと中骨とに分離して中骨を排出するとともにラミナを回収する態様について説明する。なお、図2では説明において必要な箇所のみ記載し、その他の箇所は省略してある。先ず、供給口16からスレッシング部8に供給された葉たばこTは、回転ドラム32の矢印方向の回転に伴い、扱歯38によってバスケット36に押し付けられてこすられ、各開孔44に引っ掛かりながら引き裂かれることで、中骨BとラミナLとに分離される。 Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 2, the aspect which isolate | separates a leaf tobacco into a lamina and a middle bone with the bone removal apparatus 1, discharges a middle bone, and collect | recovers lamina is demonstrated. In FIG. 2, only necessary parts are described in the description, and the other parts are omitted. First, the leaf tobacco T supplied from the supply port 16 to the threading unit 8 is pressed against the basket 36 by the throttling teeth 38 and rubbed along with the rotation of the rotary drum 32 in the direction of the arrow. Being separated into the middle bone B and the lamina L.
 分離した中骨B及びラミナLはバスケット36の各開孔44を通過し、通路62を経て風選分離部10に落下する。風選分離部10において、比較的密度の高い中骨Bは、自重により、図中に二点鎖線で示す領域である空気流78に抗して排出路66を経て排出口22から落下する。一方、比較的密度の低いラミナLは、風選分離部10に形成された流路64を流れ、空気流78に乗って回収口24から搬出される。 The separated inner bone B and the lamina L pass through the respective openings 44 of the basket 36 and fall to the wind separation unit 10 through the passage 62. In the wind separation unit 10, the relatively high density inner bone B falls from the discharge port 22 via the discharge passage 66 against the air flow 78 which is a region shown by a two-dot chain line in the figure by its own weight. On the other hand, the relatively low density lamina L flows through the flow path 64 formed in the air separation unit 10 and is carried out of the recovery port 24 on the air flow 78.
 ここで、空気流78は、その領域の拡張とともに、当該領域の下端に形成される領域転換点Pを境に空気流78の風速が低下し始める。領域転換点Pは制御ユニット42で設定された送風機50からの空気流78の風速に応じて変化する。例えば、領域転換点Pは、空気流78の風速が大きくなると、領域転換点Pよりも高い位置の領域転換点P1に変更される。このような領域転換点Pの変更は、葉たばこTの品種、特に中骨B及びラミナLの密度や、葉たばこTの供給量に応じて適宜行われる。 Here, the air flow 78 starts to decrease the wind speed of the air flow 78 bordering on the area turning point P formed at the lower end of the area with the expansion of the area. The area turning point P changes in accordance with the wind speed of the air flow 78 from the blower 50 set by the control unit 42. For example, the area conversion point P is changed to the area conversion point P1 higher than the area conversion point P when the wind speed of the air flow 78 increases. Such change of the area conversion point P is appropriately performed according to the type of leaf tobacco T, in particular, the density of the inner bone B and the lamina L, and the supply amount of leaf tobacco T.
 また、例えば、図2に破線で示したように、邪魔板68を調整機構70によって矢印方向に伸長することにより、二点鎖線で示した回収口24を破線で示した状態にして回収口24の開口面積を減じることができる。この場合、併せて、二点鎖線で示した空気流78の領域の下端が破線で示した位置に変更される。また、邪魔板68を調整機構70によって矢印で示すように傾動することにより、邪魔板68を伸縮する場合と同様に、回収口24の開口面積及び空気流78の領域の下端の位置を変更可能である。邪魔板68の伸縮及び傾動によって領域転換点Pの変更も可能であり、このような調整は葉たばこの品種、特に中骨及びラミナの密度や、葉たばこの供給量に応じて適宜行われる。 Further, for example, as shown by a broken line in FIG. 2, by extending the baffle plate 68 in the arrow direction by the adjusting mechanism 70, the recovery port 24 shown by a two-dot chain line is shown by a dashed line. Opening area can be reduced. In this case, at the same time, the lower end of the area of the air flow 78 indicated by the two-dot chain line is changed to the position indicated by the broken line. Further, by tilting the baffle plate 68 as shown by the arrow by the adjusting mechanism 70, the opening area of the recovery port 24 and the position of the lower end of the area of the air flow 78 can be changed as in the case of extending and retracting the baffle plate 68. It is. It is also possible to change the area turning point P by the expansion and contraction and tilting of the baffle plate 68, and such adjustment is appropriately performed according to the density of leaf tobacco varieties, particularly the density of inner bones and lamina, and the amount of leaf tobacco supplied.
 図3(a)、(b)に示すように、本実施形態の扱歯38は、山型に折り曲げた棒状材80の両端である脚部80aを回転ドラム32の周面32aの周方向に沿って多数接続することにより形成されている。即ち、扱歯38は平面視U字状、或いは略V字状をなして回転ドラム32の径方向Yに突出している。各扱歯38は、回転ドラム32の周面32aの周方向に沿って配列されるとともに、回転ドラム32の周面32aの幅方向Xに沿って配列されている。 As shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), the squeezing teeth 38 of the present embodiment are formed by bending leg portions 80a, which are both ends of a bar 80 bent in a mountain shape, in the circumferential direction of the circumferential surface 32a of the rotating drum 32. It is formed by connecting many along. That is, the throttling teeth 38 project in the radial direction Y of the rotary drum 32 in a U-shape or a substantially V-shape in plan view. The respective teeth 38 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the circumferential surface 32 a of the rotary drum 32, and are arranged along the width direction X of the circumferential surface 32 a of the rotary drum 32.
 本形状の扱歯38を有する回転ドラム32を使用すれば、平面視U字状、或いは略V字状の扱歯38が葉たばこに柔らかに接触する。このため、スレッシング部8において、含水率が15%未満、より詳しくは6%~10%程度である比較的乾燥した葉たばこを原料としてスレッシング処理するとき、ラミナが小さく粉砕されることが抑制され、中骨とラミナとの分離性能が高まることが実験により判明している。 When the rotary drum 32 having the teeth 38 of this shape is used, the teeth 38 in a U-shape or a substantially V-shape in plan view softly contact the leaf tobacco. For this reason, in the threshing portion 8, when the squeezing process is performed using relatively dried leaf tobacco having a moisture content of less than 15%, more specifically, about 6% to 10%, it is suppressed that the lamina is small and crushed It has been experimentally found that the separation performance between the inner bone and the lamina is enhanced.
 一方、原料となる葉たばこが例えば15%以上の高水分状態の含水率である場合には、スレッシング処理時における扱歯38への葉たばこの引っ掛かりを良くすることにより、中骨とラミナとの分離性能を高めることができる。
 具体的には、図4(a)、(b)に示すように、図3の扱歯38に脱着可能な二次歯82を取り付ける。
On the other hand, when the leaf tobacco used as the raw material has a moisture content of high moisture state of, for example, 15% or more, the separation of the inner bone and the lamina by improving the catching of the leaf tobacco to the squeezing teeth 38 at the time of slushing treatment. Performance can be enhanced.
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the removable secondary teeth 82 are attached to the teeth 38 of FIG.
 この場合の二次歯82は、回転ドラム32の周面32aから扱歯38の径方向Yにおける突出端に至る棒状をなしている。周面32aの幅方向Xの両端に設けられた扱歯38には、脚部80aに押さえ部材84がそれぞれ取り付けられ、これらの2つの押さえ部材84と各二次歯82とには、幅方向Xに延びる棒状のステー86が貫通されている。 The secondary teeth 82 in this case are in the shape of bars extending from the circumferential surface 32 a of the rotary drum 32 to the projecting end in the radial direction Y of the teeth 38. Pressing members 84 are attached to the legs 80a respectively at the squeegee teeth 38 provided at both ends in the width direction X of the circumferential surface 32a, and these two pressing members 84 and the respective secondary teeth 82 have a width direction A rod-shaped stay 86 extending in the X direction is penetrated.
 隣り合う二次歯82間には、ステー86が貫通するとともに周面32aに当接する2つのカラー88がそれぞれ配置されている。これにより、各二次歯82が各扱歯38に固定されるとともに、スレッシング処理時におけるステー86及び各二次歯82の移動が抑制される。 Between the adjacent secondary teeth 82, two collars 88 which the stay 86 penetrates and abuts on the circumferential surface 32a are respectively disposed. As a result, the secondary teeth 82 are fixed to the respective teeth 38, and the movement of the stay 86 and the secondary teeth 82 during the threshing process is suppressed.
 また、図5(a)、(b)に示すように、幅方向Xに沿って各扱歯38間に亘って脱着可能な長板状のアタッチメント90を取り付けても良い。アタッチメント90は、各扱歯38の突出端よりも径方向Yに若干突出して配置され、このアタッチメント90の突出部分に二次歯92が幅方向Xに沿って多数形成されている。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), a long plate-like attachment 90 may be attached along the width direction X so as to extend between the teeth 37. The attachment 90 is disposed slightly projecting in the radial direction Y from the projecting end of each squeegee tooth 38, and a large number of secondary teeth 92 are formed along the width direction X at the projecting portion of the attachment 90.
 アタッチメント90は、幅方向Xに延設される長板状の押さえ板94で棒状材80を挟み、アタッチメント90及び押さえ板94をビス96で締結することにより扱歯38に固定される。この場合であっても、図4(a)、(b)の場合と同様に、扱歯38への葉たばこの引っ掛かりを良くすることができる。 The attachment 90 is fixed to the teeth 38 by sandwiching the rod member 80 with a long plate-like pressing plate 94 extending in the width direction X and fastening the attachment 90 and the pressing plate 94 with a screw 96. Even in this case, as in the case of FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), it is possible to improve the hooking of the leaf tobacco to the teeth 38.

 以上のように本実施形態の除骨分離装置1は、風選分離部10にて回収口24の下縁24aを形成する邪魔板68を備え、邪魔板68は調整機構70によって伸縮及び傾動が許容されている。これにより、葉たばこの多様な物性や含水率に対応した条件設定を容易に行え、且つ、中骨とラミナとの分離性能が高いコンパクトな葉たばこの除骨分離装置1を提供することができる。 As described above, the deboning and separating apparatus 1 of the present embodiment includes the baffle plate 68 which forms the lower edge 24 a of the recovery port 24 in the wind separation unit 10, and the baffle plate 68 is stretched and tilted by the adjusting mechanism 70. It is acceptable. As a result, it is possible to easily perform setting of conditions corresponding to various physical properties and moisture content of leaf tobacco, and to provide a compact leaf tobacco deboning separation device 1 with high separation performance between inner bone and lamina.
 詳しくは、原料となる葉たばこの品種及び供給量に応じて、邪魔板68の伸縮及び傾動を調整するだけの簡単な作業で、回収口24の開口面積と流路64に形成される空気流78の領域とを適宜変更することができる。従って、回収口24からの中骨の搬出を効果的に阻止することができ、風選分離部10における中骨及びラミナの分離性能を高めることができる。 Specifically, the air flow 78 formed in the opening area of the recovery port 24 and the flow path 64 is a simple operation of adjusting the expansion and contraction and tilting of the baffle plate 68 in accordance with the type and supply amount of the leaf tobacco used as the raw material. It is possible to appropriately change the area of. Therefore, the removal of the inner bone from the recovery port 24 can be effectively prevented, and the separation performance of the inner bone and the lamina in the wind separation unit 10 can be enhanced.
 また、除骨分離装置1は、回転ドラム32を回転数可変に駆動する第1サーボモータ34と、送風機50を風速可変に駆動する第2サーボモータ52とを備え、制御ユニット42により第1及び第2サーボモータ34、52を個別に制御する。これにより、上述した邪魔板68の調整に加え、葉たばこの品種及び供給量に応じて、送風機50から送風される空気流78の風速を独立して調整し、空気流78の領域転換点Pを移動することにより回収口24からの中骨の搬出を更に効果的に阻止することができる。従って、風選分離部10における中骨及びラミナの分離性能を更に高めることができる。 In addition, the bone removing apparatus 1 includes a first servomotor 34 for driving the rotating drum 32 in a variable rotation speed, and a second servomotor 52 for driving the blower 50 in a variable wind speed. The second servomotors 34 and 52 are controlled individually. Thus, in addition to the adjustment of the baffle plate 68 described above, the wind speed of the air flow 78 blown from the blower 50 is independently adjusted according to the type and supply amount of leaf tobacco, and the area conversion point P of the air flow 78 is By moving, the removal of the bone from the recovery port 24 can be more effectively prevented. Therefore, the separation performance of the inner bone and the lamina in the wind separation unit 10 can be further enhanced.
 また、除骨分離装置1は、葉たばこの品種及び供給量に応じて、回転ドラム32の回転数を独立して調整することができるため、スレッシング部8における中骨及びラミナの分離性能をも高めることができる。 Moreover, since the deboning separation apparatus 1 can adjust the rotation speed of the rotating drum 32 independently according to the kind and supply amount of leaf tobacco, the separation performance of the middle bone and the lamina in the threshing part 8 can also be achieved. It can be enhanced.
 また、バスケット36及び回転ドラム32はハウジング6から脱着可能であることにより、葉たばこの品種及び供給量に応じて、種々の開孔44を有するバスケット36、或いは、種々の扱歯38を有する回転ドラム32に容易に交換することができる。回転ドラム32の交換により、扱歯38とバスケット36との間の間隙調整も行うことができる。従って、多様な物性や含水率の葉たばこにおいて、中骨及びラミナの分離性能を高めることができる。 Also, the basket 36 and the rotary drum 32 can be detached from the housing 6 so that the basket 36 having various apertures 44 or the rotary drum having various teeth 38 depending on the type and supply amount of leaf tobacco. Can easily be replaced with 32. By replacing the rotating drum 32, the clearance adjustment between the teeth 38 and the basket 36 can also be performed. Therefore, the separation performance of the inner bone and the lamina can be enhanced in leaf tobacco of various physical properties and moisture content.
 また、扱歯38は、山型に折り曲げた棒状材80の両端である脚部80aを回転ドラム32の周面32aの周方向に沿って接続することにより形成されている。これにより、原料である葉たばこが、例えば15%未満、より詳しくは6%~10%程度の含水率であって、比較的乾燥したものであったとしても、中骨とラミナとを良好に分離することができる。 The teeth 38 are formed by connecting leg portions 80a, which are both ends of the rod-like member 80 bent in a mountain shape, along the circumferential direction of the circumferential surface 32a of the rotary drum 32. As a result, even if the leaf tobacco which is the raw material has a moisture content of, for example, less than 15%, more specifically, about 6% to 10%, and even if relatively dried, the middle bone and the lamina are separated well. can do.
 ここで、葉たばこは、様々な成分を含み、例えば種々の反応の触媒となる酵素を含むことが知られている。最終的なたばこ製品に要求される品質上、この酵素反応が可能な限り進まない方が良い場合がある。この場合には、収穫後の葉たばこの水分を高水分状態とせずにスレッシング処理を行なうことで、酵素反応の進行を遅くすることが求められる。そこで、上述した形状の扱歯38でスレッシング処理を行うことにより、原料として乾燥した葉たばこであっても、高い分離性能で中骨とラミナとを分離することができ、要求品質に合致したたばこ製品を製造することができる。 Here, leaf tobacco is known to contain various components, such as enzymes that catalyze various reactions. Due to the qualities required of the final tobacco product, it may be better for the enzyme reaction not to proceed as much as possible. In this case, it is required to slow the progress of the enzyme reaction by performing the slushing treatment without setting the moisture of the leaf tobacco after harvest to a high moisture state. Therefore, by performing the slushing treatment with the squeezing teeth 38 having the above-described shape, even if the leaf tobacco is dried as the raw material, the middle bone and the lamina can be separated with high separation performance, and the tobacco meeting the required quality Products can be manufactured.
 一方、原料となる葉たばこが例えば15%以上の含水率となる高水分状態である場合には、図4及び図5に示したような二次歯82、92を扱歯38に取り付ければ、スレッシング処理時における扱歯38への葉たばこの引っ掛かりが良くなり、中骨とラミナとの分離性能を高めることができる。また、二次歯82、92は扱歯38に脱着可能に取り付けられているため、回転ドラム32を交換しなくとも、葉たばこの品種及び供給量に応じて、或いは、たばこ製品の要求品質に応じて、二次歯82、92の脱着を行うことで、多様な物性や含水率の葉たばこにおいて、中骨及びラミナの分離性能を高めることができる。 On the other hand, if the leaf tobacco used as the raw material is in a high moisture state where the water content becomes, for example, 15% or more, the secondary teeth 82 and 92 as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. At the time of the lancing process, the catching of the leaf tobacco on the squeezing teeth 38 is improved, and the separation performance between the inner bone and the lamina can be enhanced. Further, since the secondary teeth 82 and 92 are detachably attached to the teeth 38, even if the rotary drum 32 is not replaced, depending on the type and supply amount of leaf tobacco, or according to the required quality of the tobacco product. By desorbing the secondary teeth 82 and 92, the separation performance of the inner bone and the lamina can be enhanced in leaf tobacco of various physical properties and moisture content.
 また、図6~図8に示したように、葉たばこの品種及び供給量に応じて、バスケット36に形成する開孔44を小径孔、大径孔、同一ピッチ配列、或いは、千鳥配列に形成することにより、多様な物性や含水率の葉たばこにおいて、中骨及びラミナの分離性能を高めることができる。なお、バスケット36は脱着可能であるため、種々の開孔44を有するバスケット36を種々用意して交換するだけで良い。 Further, as shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, the holes 44 formed in the basket 36 are formed in small diameter holes, large diameter holes, same pitch array, or staggered array according to the kind and supply amount of leaf tobacco. Thereby, in leaf tobacco of various physical properties and moisture content, the separation performance of the inner bone and the lamina can be enhanced. In addition, since the basket 36 is removable, it is only necessary to prepare and replace various baskets 36 having various openings 44.
