Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical conveying technology, specifically to a tuocha (a type of tea) conveying equipment and conveying method. Background Technology

[0002] Tuocha, made from first and second-grade Yunnan green tea leaves, is steamed and pressed into shape. The highest quality is "Special Grade Tuocha," which has a rich aroma, mellow taste, sweet aftertaste, and a bright orange-yellow liquor. With societal progress and increasing technological advancement, Tuocha production is now largely automated. This machine-based production method makes Tuocha production efficient and fast. Tuocha is shaped like a stemless mushroom. During processing, the tea cake is pressed into a concave shape to achieve this stemless mushroom form with a central depression.

[0003] Before Tuocha can be sold, it needs to be packaged. Some Tuocha packaging machines require that the pointed end of the Tuocha enter the machine with the tip facing upwards. Once the packaging machine is running, its efficiency is relatively high. It is impossible to manually flip each Tuocha one by one so that the pointed end faces upwards when entering the packaging machine. This would result in low packaging efficiency, wasting time and manpower. Moreover, if Tuocha cannot be put in in time once the packaging machine is running, it will also waste a lot of electricity or other resources. It will also cause wear and tear on the packaging machine when it cannot package enough Tuocha, resulting in a mismatch between machine wear and packaging output. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a tuocha conveying device and conveying method to solve the problems of wasted time, manpower, resources, machine wear and tear, and output imbalance caused by manual tuocha turning when the packaging machine requires the tuocha to be packaged with the tip facing upward.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A tuocha (a type of tea) conveying device is provided, including a conveyor belt, a conveyor drive mechanism, and a conveyor frame. The conveyor belt is disposed on the conveyor frame, and the conveyor drive mechanism is disposed on the side of the conveyor frame and rotatably connected to the conveyor belt to drive the conveyor belt. Its innovation lies in that it also includes a feeding device and several guiding mechanisms. The feeding device is connected to the conveyor belt via a connector. Parapet plates extend upwards from both sides of the conveyor frame, and the two ends of several guiding mechanisms are detachably and obliquely fixed to the parapet plates on both sides of the conveyor frame, with adjacent guiding mechanisms forming a figure-eight shape.

[0006] Furthermore, the feeding device includes a feeding frame, a feeding conveyor belt, and a feeding drive mechanism. The feeding conveyor belt is mounted on the feeding frame, and the feeding drive mechanism is mounted on the feeding frame and connected to the feeding conveyor belt to drive the feeding conveyor belt to convey materials.

The feeding gear is rotatably connected to the conveyor roller of the feeding conveyor belt.

[0008] The material conveying drive mechanism includes a transmission gear, a steering gear, and a material conveying gear. The transmission gear is rotatably connected to a conveyor roller on the feeding conveyor belt that is close to the material conveyor belt. The steering gear meshes with the transmission gear and the material conveying gear, respectively. The material conveying gear is rotatably connected to the conveyor roller on the material conveyor belt.

[0009] Furthermore, the width of the feeding rack is smaller than the width of the conveying rack, and the side of the feeding rack with the conveying drive mechanism and the side of the conveying rack are on the same straight line. The distance between the feeding conveyor belt and the ground and the distance between the conveying conveyor belt and the ground are 5cm.

[0010] The vertical cross-section of the connector is U-shaped, and the two sides of the connector are detachably connected to the feed rack and the feed rack, respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, a feeding guide is provided on the inner side of the feeding rack away from the feeding drive mechanism. The feeding guide includes a support plate and a guide plate. The guide plate is connected to one end of the support plate, and the other end of the support plate is connected to the inner side of the feeding rack. The guide plate is inclined from the side of the feeding rack connected to the support plate toward the feeding rack.

[0012] Furthermore, the guiding mechanism includes a guide plate and a guide piece. The two ends of the guide plate are fixed to the guardrail plates on both sides of the conveyor frame by bolts. The guide plate extends downward to form a guide piece. One end of the guide piece is in contact with the guardrail plate, and the other end is bent in the forward direction of the conveyor belt and forms a conveying channel with the guardrail plate.

[0013] The tilt direction of the guide mechanism closest to the feeding device is: the end closest to the feeding device and the material conveying drive mechanism are on the same side, and the end of each guide plate that is in contact with the guard plate is the end closest to the feeding device.

[0014] Furthermore, the guiding mechanism also includes a material conveying guide, which is movably mounted on a guard plate near the bend of the guide plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the material conveying guide includes a fixing part and a guiding part, the guiding part and the fixing part are arranged vertically, the fixing part is provided with a rectangular opening, the guard plate is provided with a guide groove corresponding to the position of the material conveying guide, and the fixing part is fixed by inserting a fixing member into the opening and the guide groove.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes several dead corner components, each of which is provided at one end of each guide plate and railing plate that are attached to it. The two ends of the dead corner components are detachably connected to the guide mechanism and the railing plate, respectively.

[0017] Furthermore, the angle between the end of the dead corner component and the guard plate of each guide plate is 115-130 degrees, the angle between the guide plate and the corresponding side of the feed rack is 20-40 degrees, the angle between each dead corner component and the corresponding side guard plate is 15-75 degrees, and the angle between each guide part and the corresponding side guard plate is 15-45 degrees.

[0018] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention also provides a method for conveying Tuocha (a type of tea), the innovation of which is that it specifically includes the following steps:

[0019] (1) Conveying preparation: Adjust the position of the conveying guide according to the size of the tuocha and the quantity to be conveyed, and adjust the width of the conveying channel. Specifically, the relative position of the opening and the guide groove on the fixed conveying guide is determined.

[0020] (2) Conveying start: Start the motor so that the feeding conveyor belt and the conveying conveyor belt run at a uniform speed and in the same direction. Place the tuocha to be conveyed upside down on the feeding conveyor belt in the feeding rack. The tuocha moves to the nearest guiding mechanism according to the feeding guide. When passing the connecting piece, some of the tuocha flips due to the inclined setting of the connecting piece, which can also separate the stacked tuocha.

[0021] (3) Conveying and Tilting: The tuocha that passed through the connector in step (2) continues to be conveyed in the forward direction of the conveyor belt until the tuocha reaches the first guide mechanism. After touching the guide plate corresponding to the guide mechanism, some of the tuocha is tilted. Under the action of the conveyor belt, the tuocha enters the guide range of the next adjacent guide mechanism through the conveyor channel corresponding to the guide mechanism, that is, it enters the guide range of the second guide mechanism. The tuocha that has not tilted when it reaches the first guide mechanism continues to touch the guide plate corresponding to the second guide mechanism and is tilted. Then, under the action of the conveyor belt, it enters the guide range of the third guide mechanism through the conveyor channel corresponding to the second guide mechanism. The tuocha that has not tilted in the guide range of the second guide mechanism is tilted. The tuocha continues to move forward under the drive of the conveyor belt, passing through several guide mechanisms and continuously tilting the tuocha that has not tilted, until it enters the last guide mechanism. The conveying time of the tuocha on the conveyor belt for every three guide mechanisms is 50 seconds.

[0022] (4) Conveying complete: Tuocha moves on the conveyor belt according to the guidance mechanism until it moves to the material conveying channel corresponding to the last guidance mechanism. It is then output from the material conveying channel and moved to the packaging machine for packaging. The overall turnover rate is 99%.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0024] (1) The tuocha conveying equipment and conveying method of the present invention, through the combined use of the feeding device, the guiding mechanism and other structures, when the tuocha enters the conveying belt from the feeding device, due to the inclined setting of the connecting parts, some of the tuocha can be turned over with the tip facing up. Then, as the conveying belt moves forward, it hits the guide plate and is turned over. Then, as it enters the conveying channel, it collides with the next guiding mechanism and turns over the tuocha that has not yet been turned over. This ensures that the tuocha entering the packaging machine can all have the tip facing up. The setting of the guiding mechanism and the conveying channel increases the conveying process of the tuocha, thereby increasing the tuocha turning rate.

[0025] (2) The opening and guide groove provided at the material conveying guide of the tuocha conveying device of the present invention can control the width of the material conveying channel according to the size of the tuocha or the number of tuocha passing through. In addition, the dead corner component can prevent the tuocha from entering the angle between the guide mechanism and the railing plate and then stop moving forward, thus preventing the tuocha from being stuck during the conveying process.

[0026] (3) The feeding drive mechanism and the conveying drive mechanism of the tuocha conveying device of the present invention are controlled by a motor, which can realize the operation of the feeding conveyor belt and the conveying conveyor belt. The structure is simple and easy to use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below through specific embodiments.

[0033] describe

[0034] This invention provides a tuocha (a type of tea) conveying device, including a conveyor belt 1, a conveying drive mechanism, and a conveying frame 2. The conveyor belt is mounted on the conveying frame, and the conveying drive mechanism is located on the side of the conveying frame and is rotatably connected to the conveyor belt to drive the conveyor belt to convey materials. Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a feeding device and several guiding mechanisms 3. The feeding device is connected to the conveyor belt via a connector 4. The two sides of the conveyor frame extend upwards to form a railing plate 5. The two ends of the several guiding mechanisms are detachably and inclinedly fixed on the railing plates on both sides of the conveyor frame, and two adjacent guiding mechanisms form a figure-eight shape.

[0035] The feeding device of the present invention includes a feeding frame 6, a feeding conveyor belt 7 and a feeding drive mechanism. The feeding conveyor belt is disposed on the feeding frame, and the feeding drive mechanism is disposed on the feeding frame and connected to the feeding conveyor belt to drive the feeding conveyor belt to convey. Both ends of the feeding conveyor belt and the conveying conveyor belt are provided with conveying rollers 11, and the feeding conveyor belt or the conveying conveyor belt is driven to convey by the rotation of the conveying rollers.

[0036] Preferably, the width of the feeding rack of the present invention is smaller than the width of the conveying rack, and the side of the feeding rack with the conveying drive mechanism and the side of the conveying rack are on the same straight line, and the distance between the feeding conveyor belt and the ground and the distance between the conveying conveyor belt and the ground are 5cm.

[0037] Preferably, the vertical cross-section of the connector of the present invention is U-shaped, and the two sides of the connector are detachably connected to the guide plate of the conveyor and the feeding rack, respectively. Due to the inclined arrangement of the connector, some of the tuocha can be flipped over with the pointed end facing upward when entering the conveyor belt from the feeding device. Preferably, the included angle between the guide plate and the corresponding side of the feeding rack in the present invention is in the range of 20-40 degrees.

[0038] The feeding drive mechanism and conveying drive mechanism of the present invention are as follows: Figure 3As shown, the feeding drive mechanism includes a motor 8, a motor gear 9, and a feeding gear 10. The motor is located inside the feeding frame and below the feeding conveyor belt. The motor gear and the feeding gear mesh with each other and are located on the side of the feeding frame. The feeding gear is rotatably connected to the conveyor roller of the feeding conveyor belt. The motor gear of this invention is a gear that is rotatably connected to the motor.

[0039] The material conveying drive mechanism includes a transmission gear 12, a steering gear 13, and a material conveying gear 14. The transmission gear is rotatably connected to a conveyor roller on the feeding conveyor belt near the material conveyor belt. The steering gear meshes with both the transmission gear and the material conveying gear. The material conveying gear is rotatably connected to the conveyor roller on the material conveyor belt. To ensure that the feeding conveyor belt and the material conveyor belt move in the same direction, the steering gear is used to steer the conveying gear so that the rotation direction of the material conveying gear is the same as that of the transmission gear.

[0040] The feeding drive mechanism and the conveying drive mechanism of the present invention are controlled by a single motor, which enables the operation of the feeding conveyor belt and the conveying conveyor belt. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0041] The present invention provides a feeding guide 15 on the inner side of the feeding rack away from the feeding drive mechanism. The feeding guide includes a support plate 15 and a guide plate 25. The guide plate is connected to one end of the support plate, and the other end of the support plate is connected to the inner side of the feeding rack. The guide plate is inclined from the side of the feeding rack connected to the support plate toward the feeding rack.

[0042] The guiding mechanism of the present invention includes a guide plate 16 and a guide piece 17. The two ends of the guide plate are fixed to the guardrail plates on both sides of the conveyor frame by bolts. The guide plate extends downward from the guide plate. One end of the guide piece is in contact with the guardrail plate, and the other end is bent in the forward direction of the conveyor belt, forming a conveying channel 18 with the guardrail plate. The inclination direction of the guiding mechanism closest to the feeding device is such that the end closest to the feeding device is on the same side as the conveying drive mechanism, and the end of each guide piece in contact with the guardrail plate is the end closest to the feeding device.

[0043] The feeding guide ensures that when the tuocha in the feeding device moves towards the guide mechanism closest to the feeding device, it first contacts the end of the guide mechanism closest to the conveying drive mechanism, thereby increasing the turnover rate and preventing the tuocha from moving away from the conveying drive mechanism and falling off the conveyor belt.

[0044] The guiding mechanism also includes a material conveying guide 19, such as Figure 2As shown, the material conveying guide is movably mounted on the guardrail plate near the bend of the guide plate. Preferably, the material conveying guide includes a fixing part 20 and a guiding part 21, which are arranged perpendicularly. The fixing part has a rectangular opening 22, and the guardrail plate has a guide groove 23 corresponding to the position of the material conveying guide. The fixing part is fixed by inserting a fixing member into the opening and the guide groove. When the tuocha (a type of tea cake) is conveyed, it moves forward with the conveyor belt, hits the guide plate and flips, and then enters the next guiding mechanism through the conveying channel. The tuocha that has not been flipped is then flipped again, so that the tuocha entering the packaging machine can all have their pointed ends facing upwards. The setting of the guiding mechanism and the conveying channel increases the conveying process of the tuocha, thereby increasing the flipping rate of the tuocha. The opening and guide groove provided at the material conveying guide can control the width of the formed conveying channel according to the size of the tuocha or the number of tuocha passing through.

[0045] The invention also includes several dead corner components 24, each dead corner component being disposed at one end of each guide plate and railing plate. The two ends of the dead corner component are detachably connected to the guide mechanism and the railing plate, respectively. The dead corner component blocks the angle formed between the guide mechanism and the railing plate, which can prevent the tuocha from entering the angle between the guide mechanism and the railing plate and stopping its forward movement, thus preventing the tuocha from being stuck during the transportation process.

[0046] Preferably, the angle between the end of the dead corner component and the railing plate of each guide plate is 115-130 degrees, the angle between each dead corner component and the corresponding railing plate is 15-75 degrees, and the angle between each guide part and the corresponding railing plate is 15-45 degrees.

[0047] The last feeding mechanism in the forward direction of the feeding conveyor belt is connected to the packaging machine, so that the turned-over tuocha enters the packaging machine in sequence for packaging.

[0048] This invention also provides a method for conveying Tuocha (a type of tea): specifically including the following steps:

[0049] (1) Conveying preparation: Adjust the position of the conveying guide according to the size of the tuocha and the quantity to be conveyed, and adjust the width of the conveying channel. Specifically, the relative position of the opening and the guide groove on the fixed conveying guide is determined.

[0050] (2) Conveying start: Start the motor so that the feeding conveyor belt and the conveying conveyor belt run at a uniform speed and in the same direction. Place the tuocha to be conveyed upside down on the feeding conveyor belt in the feeding rack. The tuocha moves to the nearest guiding mechanism according to the feeding guide. When passing the connecting piece, some of the tuocha flips due to the inclined setting of the connecting piece, which can also separate the stacked tuocha.

[0051] (3) Conveying and Tilting: The tuocha that passed through the connector in step (2) continues to be conveyed in the forward direction of the conveyor belt until the tuocha reaches the first guide mechanism. After touching the guide plate corresponding to the guide mechanism, some of the tuocha is tilted. Under the action of the conveyor belt, the tuocha enters the guide range of the next adjacent guide mechanism through the conveyor channel corresponding to the guide mechanism, that is, it enters the guide range of the second guide mechanism. The tuocha that has not tilted when it reaches the first guide mechanism continues to touch the guide plate corresponding to the second guide mechanism and is tilted. Then, under the action of the conveyor belt, it enters the guide range of the third guide mechanism through the conveyor channel corresponding to the second guide mechanism. The tuocha that has not tilted in the guide range of the second guide mechanism is tilted. The tuocha continues to move forward under the drive of the conveyor belt, passing through several guide mechanisms and continuously tilting the tuocha that has not tilted, until it enters the last guide mechanism. The conveying time of the tuocha on the conveyor belt for every three guide mechanisms is 50 seconds.

[0052] (4) Conveying complete: Tuocha moves on the conveyor belt according to the guidance mechanism until it moves to the material conveying channel corresponding to the last guidance mechanism. It is then output from the material conveying channel and moved to the packaging machine for packaging. The overall turnover rate is 99%.

[0053] In the process of conveying tuocha in this invention, if the tip of the tuocha is downward, the tuocha itself is unstable. When it touches the guide plate with the forward force, it will flip up so that the tip is upward due to its own instability and the force.

[0054] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the concept and scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design concept of the present invention, all modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention should fall within the protection scope of the present invention. The technical content for which protection is sought in the present invention has been fully described in the technical requirements.
