Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of tea processing, and particularly relates to a tea cake dispersing device and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Tea cake is a kind of tea product formed by the adhesion of tea leaves due to the precipitation of pectin in tea leaves at high temperature. The tea cake has a diameter of 1-5 cm (or 1-5 g) and is formed by the adhesion of tea leaves due to the precipitation of pectin in tea leaves at high temperature. In order to facilitate the subsequent product blending and pressing, tea cakes with a diameter greater than 2 cm (or 2 g) need to be dispersed again.

[0003] At present, the dispersing of tea cake is mainly achieved by steaming and then manually rubbing, or by using existing pulverizing machines and the like. However, the above two dispersing methods have the following disadvantages:

[0004] 1. The manual dispersing method must be performed while the tea cake is hot, and the tea cake has a high hardness. Therefore, a large amount of manpower is required and the operation is hot. In addition, the manual dispersing method is affected by human factors, and the size of the dispersed tea cake is not uniform, which affects the appearance of the product.

[0005] 2. The dispersing method using existing pulverizing machines and the like has a high crushing rate, and about 20% of the tea cake is crushed into powder after being dispersed, which is a serious waste.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing dispersing method of tea cake and develop a dispersing device suitable for industrial production. SUMMARY

[0007] In order to solve the above problems in the prior art, the present application provides a tea cake dispersing device.

[0008] Specifically, the present application provides:

[0016] (6) The device according to (1) is characterized in that the device further includes a vibrating screen located below the hole on the bottom surface of the housing, including a feed inlet and upper, middle and lower three-layer screens, the mesh counts of the screens from the upper layer to the lower layer being 2-4 mesh, 10-12 mesh and 50-60 mesh respectively.

[0017] (7) The device according to (6) is characterized in that the feed inlet of the vibrating screen is connected to the bottom surface of the shell through a flexible material.

[0018] (8) The equipment according to (1), characterized in that the equipment further includes a hopper and a hoist;

[0019] The hopper includes a hopper and a vibrating feeder located below the hopper;

[0020] The elevator includes a baffle conveyor belt and a discharge port. Each baffle of the baffle conveyor belt forms a plurality of material troughs with the conveyor belt. The discharge port is located above the feed inlet of the shell, so that the raw materials to be disintegrated can enter the internal space of the shell through the feed inlet of the shell.

[0021] The vibrating feeder can cause the raw materials to be dispersed to vibrate in the horizontal direction, thereby scattering them into the trough of the baffle conveyor belt; preferably, the vibration frequency of the vibrating feeder is greater than or equal to 30HZ.

[0022] (9) The device according to (8) is characterized in that at least a portion of the baffle conveyor belt has an angle of 70°-80° with the horizontal plane, and the height of the baffle is not less than 2.5cm.

[0023] (10) Application of the tuokuai tea disintegration equipment described in (1)-(9) in tea processing and production.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and positive effects:

[0025] The tuocha disintegration device of the present invention changes the original equipment structure and operation mode, which greatly improves the product in terms of raw material utilization, quality uniformity, safety, labor cost and production efficiency, and can effectively reduce the breakage rate.

[0026] Specifically, the dispersing mechanism of the tuokuai tea dispersing device of the present invention contains only 1-2 dispersing rods, ensuring that most tea blocks are dispersed only once or a few times. Furthermore, the present invention features a specially designed shape for the dispersing rods, with the thickness of the long edge in contact with the tea block being 2-4 mm. This reduces the breakage rate and extends the service life of the dispersing mechanism. Simultaneously, appropriately sized small holes are provided on the lower part of the side wall and the bottom surface of the dispersing device housing. This cleverly allows properly sized tea blocks to fall freely through the holes after dispersing, preventing the accumulation of properly sized tea blocks that could lead to secondary dispersing and increase the breakage rate. Unsized tea blocks, on the other hand, remain inside the housing to be dispersed.

[0027] Furthermore, a vibrating screen is connected downstream of the dispersing mechanism. This screen is designed with three layers of screens with different aperture sizes. The upper layer filters out oversized tea pieces, the lower layer filters out undersized broken tea, and the middle layer collects qualified products. This allows the small portion of tuocha tea pieces that leak out through the small holes to be screened again by the vibrating screen, further improving the pass rate, production efficiency, and capacity.

[0028] Furthermore, the design of the tuocha dispersing device in this invention makes it suitable for integration with tea production lines. Both its upstream and downstream connections can be made to other tea processing equipment. Materials supplied from the upstream can be directly and continuously dispersed through the device without affecting the dispersing effect; the dispersed products will not affect downstream processing or packaging. Therefore, the device of this invention is suitable for industrial production. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments. However, this is not a limitation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or improvements based on the basic idea of ​​the present invention, but as long as they do not depart from the basic idea of ​​the present invention, they are all within the scope of the present invention.

[0034] As mentioned above, in the tea production industry, the traditional method of breaking up tuocha (a type of compressed tea) mainly involves steaming it thoroughly and then manually kneading it, or directly using existing pulverizers or other equipment. However, this method has many drawbacks. Therefore, the inventors of this invention have developed a tuocha breaking-up device.

[0035] Specifically, the present invention provides a device for dispersing tuocha (a type of compressed tea), characterized in that the device includes at least a cylindrical shell and a dispersing mechanism, wherein:

[0036] The housing has at least an inlet, a side wall, and a bottom surface. The inlet is located at the upper part of the housing. The side wall and the bottom surface are connected to form the internal space of the housing. The bottom surface and the side wall are provided with holes in a region 0-2 cm away from the bottom surface that allow tea blocks of 1.5-2g to pass through.

[0037] The disassembly mechanism includes at least a power source, a drive shaft, and 1-2 disassembly rods; the upper part of the drive shaft is connected to the power source, and the lower part is connected to and perpendicular to the disassembly rods; at least a portion of the drive shaft and the disassembly rods are located in the internal space of the housing, and the drive shaft is parallel to the axial direction of the housing; the disassembly rods do not contact the side wall of the housing, the thickness of their edges along the length direction is 2-4 mm, and the distance between the disassembly rods and the bottom surface is 0.8-1 cm; the power source causes the disassembly rods to rotate around the drive shaft in a horizontal plane.

[0038] As the term "disintegration rod" suggests, it is rod-shaped, meaning it has a high length-to-width ratio and is elongated. An example is... Figure 2 As shown.

[0039] The device of this invention not only breaks with the conventional practice of manual tea dispersal in the field, but also features a clever design tailored to the characteristics of tea production. Specifically, the device has only 1-2 dispersing rods, with an edge thickness of 2mm-4mm along its length. These rods are 0.8-1cm from the bottom surface, and the discharge ports are designed to allow tea blocks weighing 1.5-2g to pass through, distributed on the bottom surface of the shell and the sides below the horizontal plane of the dispersing rods. This design ensures that most tea blocks only collide with the dispersing rods once to three times during dispersal, significantly reducing the risk of breakage. Qualified tea blocks fall directly through the side and bottom discharge ports, while smaller, unqualified blocks remain inside the shell for further dispersal until they are qualified. This ensures a uniform product quality and avoids the accumulation of qualified tea blocks after dispersal, which would lead to secondary dispersal and increase the breakage rate. Compared to existing technologies, this invention simplifies the process and significantly improves production efficiency and capacity.

[0040] In addition, through repeated experiments, the inventors of this invention discovered that when the thickness of the edge of the disintegrating rod along its length is less than 2mm, the rod is not strong enough and is prone to breakage during the disintegration process; when the thickness is greater than 4mm, the impact force is too great, which will result in more tea leaves breaking into smaller pieces after disintegration, thus reducing the utilization rate of the tea leaves.

[0041] The inventors of this invention also discovered that when the distance between the disintegrating rod and the bottom surface is less than 0.8 cm, material blockage is likely to occur, and when it is greater than 1 cm, the breakage rate is relatively high.

[0042] In some implementations, the disintegrating rod can be of various suitable shapes, as long as it meets the above-mentioned requirements for edge thickness and is rod-shaped.

[0043] To ensure the strength of the disintegrating rod, preferably, the thickness of the disintegrating rod in the width direction is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, like a knife edge. More preferably, the maximum thickness in this direction is 5-6 mm. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the disintegrating rod can be octagonal (including a 2-4 mm edge), or similar to a trapezoid, wedge, or triangle. In some embodiments, the cross-section of the disintegrating rod is as follows: Figure 2 The shape shown.

[0044] The connection position between the disassembly bar and the drive shaft can include a variety of reasonable scenarios. In some embodiments, the center of the disassembly bar along its length is connected to the lower end of the drive shaft, for example... Figure 2As shown. In the case of two disassembly bars, the disassembly bars can be arranged parallel to each other from top to bottom on the drive shaft. In other embodiments, one end of the disassembly bar is connected to the lower end of the drive shaft in an L-shape, that is, equivalent to the disassembly bar retaining only half its length in the above case. In this embodiment, in the case of two disassembly bars, the disassembly bars can be arranged alternately from top to bottom on the drive shaft. Preferably, the center of the disassembly bar in the length direction is connected to the lower end of the drive shaft.

[0045] In embodiments with two disintegrating rods, the spacing between the rods can be 1.5-3 cm. When there are more than two disintegrating rods, the breakage rate is high, which does not meet quality requirements. The disintegrating device of the present invention preferably has only one disintegrating rod conforming to the definition described herein. This not only saves costs, but more importantly, it achieves optimal disintegration efficiency and breakage rate for tuocha (a type of tea cake).

[0046] The connection between the disassembly bar and the drive shaft can be achieved using methods common in the field, such as welding or threaded connection.

[0047] Preferably, the ratio of the length of the dispersing rod to the diameter of the bottom surface of the shell is (0.98-0.99):1. When it is less than this lower limit, the contact area between the dispersing rod and the tea block is small, and the tuocha tea is not fully dispersed; when it is greater than this upper limit, problems such as material blockage and high breakage rate are likely to occur.

[0048] The disintegrating rod can be made of various materials commonly used in the art. Stainless steel is preferred, and food-grade stainless steel, such as 304 stainless steel, is more preferred.

[0049] The drive shaft can be any common shape, such as a round rod, and is preferably made of... Figure 2 The drive shaft is installed in the housing as shown, i.e., the drive shaft overlaps with the central axis of the cylindrical housing. The drive shaft can be made of various materials commonly used in the art. Stainless steel is preferred, and food-grade stainless steel, such as 304 stainless steel, is more preferred.

[0050] In some implementations, the power source for the dismantling mechanism is a geared motor, the speed of which can be adjusted according to actual conditions. Preferably, the controller frequency of the geared motor is 35-45 Hz. Figure 2 As shown, the power source can be located outside the housing.

[0051] The holes located on the sidewalls and bottom surface of the housing are preferably circular holes with a diameter of 1.5-2 cm, and are preferably evenly distributed on the surface. These holes constitute the discharge port of the dispersing mechanism, allowing tea pieces with a diameter of approximately 1.5-2 cm to pass through, and for irregularly shaped tea pieces, allowing tea pieces with a mass of approximately 1.5-2 g to pass through. Tea pieces that are too large will be left inside the housing to continue dispersing until they meet the aforementioned size requirements.

[0052] The "area of ​​the sidewall 0-2cm from the bottom surface" preferably refers to the entire continuous sidewall surface that meets this definition (e.g., Figure 2 (Illustrated schematically). This design improves the efficiency of passing tea blocks that meet size requirements, avoids material blockage, and reduces breakage rate.

[0053] The shape of the columnar shell can be adjusted according to the actual situation. For example, it can be cylindrical, prismatic, etc., but it is preferred to be cylindrical or a prismatic shape that is approximately cylindrical.

[0054] The diameter of the bottom surface of the shell is preferably less than or equal to 40 cm. If it exceeds 40 cm, the length of the dispersing rod will increase accordingly to ensure effective dispersing, making it more susceptible to twisting or breakage from impacts with the tea cakes. The shell thickness is preferably not less than 5 mm to prevent deformation during dispersal, which could damage the dispersing rod. The shell can be made of various materials commonly used in the art. Stainless steel is preferred, and food-grade stainless steel, such as 304 stainless steel, is more preferred.

[0055] The feed inlet of the disintegration mechanism is located in the upper part of the housing, for example, at the top of the housing, or as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it is located on the upper part of the side wall of the shell. The feed inlet can simply be an opening, as long as the material to be disintegrated can enter the shell through this opening. The feed inlet can also be as follows: Figure 1 The diagram shows a scoop-like structure that extends outwards to collect material and prevent it from spilling outside the shell.

[0056] Specific examples of dissolving organizations include Figure 1 As shown in Appendix 3.

[0057] In certain rare cases, for example, if the tea blocks are elongated and do not conform to the above size range, tea blocks may leak out through the holes in the disintegration structure. Therefore, preferably, the disintegration device further includes a vibrating screen located below the holes on the bottom surface of the housing, including a feed inlet and upper, middle, and lower three-layer screens, with mesh sizes of 2-4 mesh (e.g., 2.5 mesh), 10-12 mesh, and 50-60 mesh from the upper layer to the lower layer, respectively.

[0058] The vibrating screen may also include an upper outlet for tuocha (a type of compressed tea), a middle outlet for loose tea, and a lower outlet for broken tea, each paired with a three-layer screen. An example of a vibrating screen is a circular screen, whose structure can be as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0059] In cases including a vibrating screen, material falling from the discharge port of the dispersing mechanism enters the vibrating screen. The upper screen traps oversized tuocha (bowl-shaped tea cakes), which can be directly used to make aged tea heads. The middle screen traps loose tea of ​​the required size. Tea fragments pass through the two screens and are trapped by the bottom screen. Accordingly, tuocha suitable for making aged tea heads flows out from the top outlet of the vibrating screen, fragments flow out from the bottom outlet, and qualified products flow out from the middle outlet. The tuocha trapped by the upper screen can also be further broken up by the dispersing mechanism to finally become loose tea of ​​the required size. Loose tea can then be blended with other types of tea and pressed into cakes, bricks, and other products.

[0060] Preferably, the feed inlet of the vibrating screen is connected to the bottom surface of the shell through a flexible material to avoid generating a large amount of dust, for example, the two are connected by a cloth bag or food-grade soft plastic.

[0061] The device of the present invention may further include a feeding unit, which includes a hopper and an elevator. The hopper and elevator may employ known structures.

[0062] In some specific implementation schemes, the silo and the elevator, such as Figure 1 As shown. The hopper includes a hopper and a vibrating feeder located below the hopper; the elevator includes a baffle conveyor belt and a discharge port, with multiple troughs formed between the baffles and the conveyor belt; the discharge port is located above the inlet of the housing, allowing the raw material to be dispersed to enter the internal space of the housing through the inlet; the vibrating feeder (with a vibrating motor) vibrates the raw material to be dispersed horizontally, thus evenly distributing it within the troughs of the baffle conveyor belt. Preferably, the vibration frequency of the vibrating feeder is greater than or equal to 30 Hz.

[0063] Preferably, at least a portion (lifting section) of the baffle conveyor belt forms an angle of 70°-80° with the horizontal plane, and the height of the baffle is not less than 2.5cm.

[0064] All components of the tuokuai tea dispersing device of the present invention can be made of materials commonly used in the art, as long as they can withstand the vibration of the device during operation. However, the surfaces in contact with the material are preferably made of food-grade materials, preferably food-grade stainless steel, such as 304 stainless steel.

[0065] The tuocha dispersing device of the present invention may further include a control unit, which is electrically connected to the hopper, the elevator, the dispersing mechanism, and the circular sieve, thereby realizing control over them. The structure of the control unit and its connection method with other units or mechanisms of the present invention can adopt those commonly used in the art. For example, the control unit is... Figure 1The control cabinet shown can be located on one side of the feeding unit and can be manually operated to control the start and stop of each unit or mechanism, and to adjust the frequencies of the conveyor belt motor, vibrating feeder motor, dismantling mechanism geared motor, and vibrating screen motor. The construction of the control cabinet is known in the art; for example, it can have a display screen and buttons on it for operation.

[0066] The present invention also provides the application of the tuocha disintegration device in tea production and processing.

[0067] The following examples further explain or illustrate the content of the present invention, but these examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0068] Example

[0069] Unless otherwise specified, the materials, construction and connection methods of the components of the dismantling equipment described in the following examples are in accordance with common practices in the art.

[0070] The structure of the tuokuai tea dispersing equipment is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the cylindrical shell of the dispersing mechanism has a bottom diameter of 40cm. The mesh sizes of the upper, middle, and lower layers of the circular sieve are 2.5 mesh, 10 mesh, and 60 mesh, respectively. All surfaces of the equipment in contact with the tea leaves are made of 304 stainless steel. The vibration frequency of the vibrating feeder is 30Hz. The lifting section of the baffle conveyor belt forms a 70-degree angle with the horizontal plane, and the height of the baffle is 5cm. The main process flow for dispersing tea leaves using this tuocha (a type of compressed tea) dispersing equipment is as follows:

[0071] First, pour the raw materials of the tuocha (a type of tea block) that need to be broken up into the feeding hopper, and then start the circular sieve machine, the breaking mechanism, the elevator, and the hopper in sequence.

[0072] After the above steps are completed, adjust the vibration frequency of the vibrating feeder in the hopper and the speed of the conveyor belt motor of the elevator according to the shape and thickness of the tea leaves, so as to avoid the belt from tearing due to excessive speed or too much raw material entering the disintegration mechanism.

[0073] When tea blocks enter the circular sieve machine from the discharge port of the dispersing mechanism, the motor speed of the dispersing mechanism is adjusted according to the dispersing condition of the tea blocks to ensure the one-time pass rate of raw material dispersing.
