Description

  The present invention is for suspending harvested leaf tobacco in a drying chamber, stuffing the harvested leaf tobacco into a leaf tobacco suspension, and performing a series of operations until the leaf tobacco suspension suspended in the leaf tobacco drying chamber is suspended. The present invention relates to a leaf tobacco stuffing and suspending system.

  In general, in order to suspend harvested leaf tobacco in a drying chamber, first suspend a number of leaf tobaccos on a leaf tobacco hanging tool such as a binder and suspend them in a drying chamber in multiple stages. From the leaf knitting work place suspended from the tool, the leaf tobacco hanging tool, in which the leaf knitting is finished and a large number of leaf cigarettes are hung, is carried to the drying chamber one frame at a time and is sequentially suspended on the hanging rail of the drying chamber.

  However, in order to suspend the leaf tobacco hanging tool on the hanging rail at the top of the drying chamber, a step stand or the like must be used, and the leaf tobacco hanging tool with a large amount of leaf tobacco suspended is used to repeatedly go up and down the platform. It must be made. Also, in large-scale facilities such as common drying facilities, there are many cases where the location where the leaf tobacco is sandwiched or knitted in the leaf tobacco hanging device is located in a location far away from the drying room. You have to move it. Moreover, a hanging tool with a large number of leaf cigarettes is very heavy.

For this reason, a system has been proposed that can greatly save the work of hanging tobacco (see Patent Document 1).
According to this system, a leaf tobacco hanging tool stuffed with a leaf stuffing work table is put into a hanging rack set in advance on a stock table arranged near the work table, and this hanging rack is put into a lifting rack (hanging device). It is moved and carried to the drying chamber, and the guide rails of the lifting rack are lifted and lowered so as to be hung together with the required hanging rails of the drying chamber.

  However, according to the labor-saving system described above, when transferring a leaf tobacco suspension with leaf tobacco from a leaf filling work table to a stock rack suspension rack, two workers hold the leaf tobacco suspension by hand. There was still room for improvement in labor saving in this process. In the case of harvested leaf cigarettes, the weight of the tobacco hangers to be transferred reaches about 40 kg, and usually 2.5 to 3.0 m must be moved. In many cases, female employees were engaged, leading to a decline in work efficiency due to physical exhaustion. In particular, leaf tobacco harvested during rainy weather has deteriorated the work environment due to water adhering to the leaf tobacco (approximately 5 to 8% of the suspended amount), and has become a further labor burden.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and in a series of operations for stuffing and suspending leaf tobacco, when moving a leaf tobacco suspension tool stuffed with leaf tobacco from a leaf stuffing work table to a suspension rack of a stock table. Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a leaf tobacco leaf stuffing / hanging system that does not require two workers to hold the leaf tobacco hanging tool by hand and can further save labor.
