[0021] In order to make the purpose and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is specifically described below in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is only used to describe one or several specific embodiments of the present invention, and does not strictly limit the scope of protection of the specific claims of the present invention.
[0022] As used herein, the terms "parallel," "perpendicular," and the like are not limited to their strict geometric definitions, but include tolerances for reasonable and inconsistent machining or human errors.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a tea strip tightening machine comprises a strip tightening cylinder 01 which is rotatably mounted on a frame 00 and a heating device for heating tea leaves in the strip tightening cylinder. The strip tightening cylinder 01 has a working section 02. The inner wall of the working section 02 is provided with a convexly arranged turning guide 10. The turning guide 10 is arranged at intervals on the inner wall of the strip tightening cylinder 01. The length direction of the turning guide 10 is consistent with the length direction of the strip tightening cylinder 01. The outer surface of the turning guide 10 consists of an A1 surface 11 and an A2 surface 12. The A1 surface 11 and the A2 surface 12 are arranged in a V shape and the clamping opening points to the strip tightening cylinder. The inner wall of the strip cylinder, the intersection line of the A1 surface 11 and the inner wall of the strip cylinder is recorded as the A1 line, the intersection line of the A2 surface 12 and the inner wall of the strip cylinder is recorded as the A2 line, and the intersection line of the A1 surface 11 and the A2 surface 12 is recorded as the A3 line. The A1 line, the A2 line, and the A3 line are arranged in the length direction of the strip cylinder. The spacing between the A1 line and the A3 line is recorded as d1, the spacing between the A2 line and the A3 line is recorded as d2, and the angle between the A1 surface 11 and the A2 surface 12 is recorded as α. The size of d1 is 45-55mm, the size of d2 is 45-55mm, and the size of α is 80°-100°. The inner wall diameter of the strip cylinder 01 is 1000-1300mm, and the length of the working section 02 is 1.0-1.5m. During specific operation, the length of the entire strip cylinder is 1.5m-2.0m. Preferably, d1=d2, d1=50 mm, d2=50 mm, α=90°. The length of the turning guide 10 is consistent with the length of the working section 02, and the length of the turning guide 10 is 1000-1200 mm.
[0024] The core problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a tightening drum 01 that can achieve the effect of tightening tea leaves. Generally, the drum used for tea processing has tea leaves that fall from the highest point to the lowest point in a thrown state when the tea leaves run to a high position in the drum. It was unexpectedly discovered in the tea processing experiment that by making the flip guide 10 on the inner wall of the tightening drum 01 according to the above-mentioned shape and size, the height of the tea leaves lifted in the drum can be kept as high as possible, and at the same time, the tea leaves slide over the flip guide 10 from the inner wall of the tightening drum 01 to the bottom of the tightening drum 01, rather than falling in a thrown state. Due to the rotation speed of the tightening drum 01 itself and the reverse movement of the tea leaves sliding downward, a rapid rubbing effect is generated between the two, causing the leaf surface of the tea leaves to curl and shrink to a large extent, thereby achieving the effect of tightening the tea leaves, making the tea leaves more compact, and the size of the tea leaves is significantly reduced. In addition, the color of the tea leaves is also improved. The strip shape, size and color of tea leaves have a great influence on the price of tea leaves. The present invention is used to further tighten the dry tea leaves, which can significantly improve the quality of the finished tea and increase the profit margin of the tea leaves. The heating device and other structures can be implemented with reference to the tea aroma machine previously applied for, which can also achieve the effect of tea aroma enhancement. It should be noted that the above-mentioned size ratio needs to be implemented so that the tea leaves present the above-mentioned movement state. Otherwise, the corresponding ideal tightening effect cannot be achieved.
[0025] Further solutions such as Figure 4 As shown, a discharge piece 20 is arranged on the inner wall of the working section 02, and the discharge piece 20 is arranged protruding from the inner wall surface of the tightening cylinder. The outer surface of the discharge piece 20 is composed of a B1 surface 21 and a B2 surface 22. The B1 surface 21 is arranged vertically on the inner wall surface of the tightening cylinder, and the B2 surface 22 is a curved surface. The intersection line of the B1 surface 21 and the inner wall surface of the tightening cylinder is recorded as the B1 line, the intersection line of the B2 surface 22 and the inner wall surface of the tightening cylinder is recorded as the B2 line, and the intersection line of the B1 surface 21 and the B2 surface 22 is recorded as the B3 line. The shapes of the B1 line, the B2 line, and the B3 line are consistent and are spiral line segments. The spacing between the B1 line and the B3 line is recorded as h1, and the spacing between the B2 line and the B3 line is h2. The size of h1 is 55-65mm, and the size of h2 is 200-220mm. The size of h1 is 60mm, and the size of h2 is 210mm. The flip guide 10 is formed by welding an L-shaped plate on the inner wall of the tightening drum 01, and the discharge member 20 is formed by welding a long strip plate and a curved plate on the inner wall of the tightening drum 01. The cylinder wall of the working section 02 is composed of a perforated mesh plate, and the punching direction of the perforated mesh plate during the punching process is consistent with the direction from the outside of the tightening drum 01 to the inside of the tightening drum 01. The above-mentioned discharge member 20 can ensure reliable unloading, and can play the same role as the flip guide 10 when rotating the tightening drum. The spiral segment mentioned here is not a spiral segment in the strict mathematical sense, but a spiral segment with a similar shape.
[0026] In more detail, two turning guides 10 and a discharge member 20 are arranged on the inner wall of the tightening roller 01. The center points of the projections of the two turning guides 10 on the A surface are respectively recorded as point A1 and point A2, the center line of the projection of the discharge member 20 on the A surface is recorded as point A3, the projection of the center line of the working section 02 on the A surface is point A4, the center angle formed by point A1, point A4 and point A2 is 120°, the center angle formed by point A1, point A4 and point A3 is 120°, the center angle formed by point A2, point A4 and point A3 is 120°, and the A surface is a plane perpendicular to the center line of the working section 02.
[0027] In conclusion, the present invention can effectively process tea leaves into strips, making the tea leaves more compact and smaller, thereby increasing the tea leaves processing efficiency.
[0028] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention. The structures, devices and operating methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention shall be implemented according to the conventional means in the art unless otherwise specified and limited.
