Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tea production technology, and in particular to a packaging equipment and method for mixing tea leaves and dried flowers. Background Technology

[0002] Uniform mixing is a crucial step in the tea refining process. It involves manually or mechanically mixing materials from different batches, product numbers, or varieties to achieve a uniform blend that ensures consistency in the taste, color, and appearance of the finished tea. However, in existing tea packaging, uneven mixing of tea leaves and dried flowers can lead to variations in taste and color with each brew, thus affecting the overall flavor of the tea.

[0003] Chinese patent application CN201810702962.X discloses a mixing device for uniformly mixing tea leaves and dried flowers. The device includes a housing with a horizontal mounting plate fixedly connected to its bottom wall. Two parallel slide rails are provided on the top wall of the mounting plate, and a common mixing bin is connected to the two slide rails. Two first rotating doors are hinged to the side wall of the mixing bin, and a rolling mechanism cooperating with the slide rails is installed on the bottom wall of the mixing bin. A first motor is installed on the inner side wall of the housing, and a rotating cam is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the drive shaft of the first motor. Sliding blocks are slidably connected within each of the two slide rails, and a common support plate is fixedly connected to the top wall of the two sliding blocks. The outer wall of the rotating cam contacts the side wall of the support plate. This invention improves the uniformity of mixing tea leaves and dried flowers, meets usage requirements, and reduces the labor intensity of workers.

[0004] However, when the equipment is in use, it only improves the uniformity of mixing tea leaves and dried flowers. The uneven quality of the two will cause the heavier materials to move downwards and the lighter materials to move upwards during transportation after packaging, which will cause the tea leaves and dried flowers to mix unevenly again. Summary of the Invention

[0005] One of the objectives of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a tea and dried flower mixing and packaging device. This device features a mixing chamber unit located below the storage silo. This mixing chamber unit can be swung up and mixed evenly by a swinging unit, while simultaneously blowing air from an air blowing unit ensures that lighter materials are positioned at the bottom. This results in a more uniform mixing of tea and dried flowers within the packaging bag, with lighter materials at the bottom and heavier materials at the top. This compensates for uneven distribution of tea and dried flowers during subsequent transportation and storage, thereby improving the uniformity of the mixing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A packaging device for mixed tea and dried flowers includes a bagging machine, a sealing machine, and a transfer component connecting the two materials. The bagging machine includes a frame, a turntable mechanism mounted on the frame, and three sets of support mechanisms arranged in a circumferential array on the turntable mechanism. Two sets of bag-opening mechanisms are symmetrically arranged to form a bagging area and are mounted on the support mechanisms. Along the station switching path of the turntable mechanism, each set of support mechanisms sequentially passes through a bag-loading station, a bagging station, and a material unloading station. At the bagging station, from top to bottom, there is a material storage mechanism, a mixing mechanism, and the support mechanisms. The structure includes a dust extraction mechanism on the outside of the bagging station, a storage mechanism including a mounting frame a fixedly mounted on the frame, a storage bin mounted on the mounting frame a, and an opening and closing unit at the outlet of the storage bin, and a mixing mechanism including a swing unit, a mixing bin unit mounted on the swing unit and located below the outlet, and an air blowing unit rotatably mounted on the mixing bin unit. The swing unit drives the mixing bin unit to swing and throw the tea leaves and dried flowers inside up, and the air blowing unit blows air onto the tea leaves and dried flowers to change their movement trajectory.

[0008] As an improvement, the turntable mechanism includes a square box mounted on the frame, a slewing support bearing mounted on the square box, a secondary disc mounted on the slewing support bearing, a cam divider disposed on one side of the square box, and a gear disposed on the cam divider and meshing with the slewing support bearing.

[0009] As an improvement, the bearing mechanism includes a rotating seat a fixedly mounted on the sub-disc, a bearing plate radially arranged along the sub-disc and rotatably mounted on the rotating seat a, a support seat horizontally mounted on the outside of the rotating seat a, a hydraulic buffer mounted on the support seat with its end able to abut against the lower surface of the bearing plate, a spring disposed between the bearing plate and the sub-disc and located at its end within the bearing plate, an abutting block a disposed above the bearing plate and opposite to the spring, a limiting strip fixedly arranged along the movement trajectory of the abutting block a and located between the bagging station and the unloading station, and abutting blocks b spaced below the limiting strip and able to abut against the abutting block a.

[0010] The improved bag-opening mechanism includes a vertical plate disposed at the outer end of the support plate and arranged along the length of the support plate; a bag-opening cylinder mounted on the vertical plate and located outside the bag-filling area; four sets of guide optical shafts that slide vertically through the vertical plate and are evenly distributed around the bag-opening cylinder; a cylinder connecting plate that connects the four sets of guide optical shafts and is connected to the power output end of the bag-opening cylinder; a suction cup mounting plate located at the other end of the guide optical shafts relative to the cylinder connecting plate and connecting the four sets of guide optical shafts; and several sets of suction cups mounted on the suction cup mounting plate.

[0011] As an improvement, the storage bin includes a storage area a and a storage area b arranged symmetrically on the left and right, and the discharge ports of the two respectively form the discharge port.

[0012] As an improvement, the opening and closing unit includes a sealing plate slidably disposed at the discharge port, an opening and closing cylinder mounting plate installed on the side of the storage bin, and an opening and closing cylinder installed on the opening and closing cylinder mounting plate with its power end connected to the sealing plate.

[0013] As an improvement, the swing unit includes a rotating seat b fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket a, a mounting bracket b fixedly mounted on the square box, a turntable rotatably mounted on the rotating seat b, a connecting pin eccentrically mounted on the turntable, and a swing cylinder with one end rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket b and its power output end rotatably connected to the connecting pin.

[0014] As an improvement, the mixing chamber unit includes a connecting shaft disposed on the other side of the turntable and eccentrically disposed relative to the connecting pin, a swing rod fixedly connected to the connecting shaft, a mixing dish fixedly installed at the free end of the swing rod, a baffle disposed on the other side of the mixing dish relative to the swing rod, a discharge port opened at the bottom of the mixing dish, a fixed shaft fixedly installed below the swing rod, a lever rotatably mounted on the fixed shaft by a torsion spring, a baffle plate fixedly installed at the end of the lever and controlling the opening and closing of the discharge port, and an electromagnet assembly fixedly disposed and driving the lever to rotate.

[0015] As an improvement, the blowing unit includes a rotating seat c fixedly mounted on the swing arm, a rotating rod rotatably mounted on the rotating seat c, an arc-shaped strip mounted at the end of the rotating rod with its opening direction facing the mixing dish, and a plurality of air nozzles arranged in a circumferential array on the inner side of the arc-shaped strip.

[0016] Another objective of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a method for packaging tea and dried flowers together. This method connects the bagging machine and the sealing machine via a transfer assembly, and the bagging machine is equipped with a three-station turntable, which ensures the mixing effect of tea and dried flowers while improving packaging efficiency.

[0017] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0018] A method for packaging tea leaves and dried flowers together includes the following steps:

[0019] Step 1: Opening the bag. At the bagging station, the worker places the packaging bag in the bagging area. Two sets of bag opening mechanisms open the packaging bag, and the turntable mechanism delivers the packaging bag to the bagging station.

[0020] Step 2: Mixing tea leaves and dried flowers. The opening and closing unit opens the discharge port, and the tea leaves and dried flowers fall into the mixing chamber unit. The swinging unit drives the mixing chamber unit to swing, and in conjunction with the blowing unit, the tea leaves and dried flowers are mixed. After mixing, the tea leaves and dried flowers fall into the packaging bag. The turntable mechanism delivers the packaging bag to the unloading station.

[0021] Step 3: Packaging bag transfer; the transfer unit grabs the packaging bag and places it onto the sealing machine.

[0022] Step 4: Sealing the bag. The sealing machine seals the packaging bag.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0024] (1) In this invention, after the tea leaves and dried flowers fall into the mixing dish, the swing unit drives the swing rod and the mixing dish to move, thereby causing the tea leaves and dried flowers inside the mixing dish to be thrown up, and then the tea leaves and dried flowers fall back into the mixing dish. The above process is repeated several times so that the tea leaves and dried flowers can be mixed evenly.

[0025] (2) In this invention, as the mixing dish moves upward and the tea leaves and dried flowers are thrown up, the blowing unit blows air into the mixing dish. The gas blows out along the inner wall of the mixing dish, causing the lighter materials to move forward. Then, as the mixing dish moves downward, the blowing unit blows air out to the outside of the mixing dish. This gas causes the movement trajectory of the tea leaves and dried flowers to change. As a result, when the tea leaves and dried flowers fall, the lighter materials are at the bottom and the heavier materials are at the top. This state continues into the inside of the packaging bag, which can compensate for the uneven distribution of tea leaves and dried flowers during subsequent transportation and storage, and improve the uniformity of the distribution of tea leaves and dried flowers.

[0026] (3) The present invention is equipped with a bagging machine and a sealing machine, and the two are connected by a transfer component. The bagging machine is a three-station turntable, which can improve the packaging efficiency of tea and dried flowers.

[0027] (4) In the process of the carrier mechanism moving from the bagging mechanism to the unloading station with the auxiliary plate in this invention, the contact block a and the contact block b abut against each other, and the end of the carrier plate will move up and down, so that the tea and dried flowers in the packaging bag can be laid flat, which is conducive to the subsequent sealing operation.

[0028] (5) When the tea leaves and dried flowers are thrown up in the mixing dish of the present invention, the blowing unit blows air on the tea leaves and dried flowers and works in conjunction with the dust collection mechanism to further remove impurities in the tea leaves and dried flowers.

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a packaging equipment for mixed tea and dried flowers, including a bagging machine 1, a sealing machine 2, and a transfer component 3 for connecting the two materials. The bagging machine 1 includes a frame 11, a turntable mechanism 12 mounted on the frame 11, and three sets of carrying mechanisms 13 arranged in a circumferential array on the turntable mechanism 12. Two sets of bag-opening mechanisms 16 are symmetrically arranged to form a bagging area 160 and are mounted on the carrying mechanisms 13. Along the station switching path of the turntable mechanism 12, each set of carrying mechanisms 13 sequentially passes through a bag-loading station 10, a bagging station 20, and a material unloading station 30. At the bagging station 20, from top to bottom, there is a storage mechanism 14, a mixing mechanism 15, and the carrying mechanism 13. A dust extraction mechanism 17 is provided on the outside of the bagging station 20. The storage mechanism 14 includes a mounting frame a141 fixedly mounted on the frame 11, a storage bin 142 mounted on the mounting frame a141, and an opening and closing unit 143 located at the outlet 1410 of the storage bin 142. The mixing mechanism 15 includes a swing unit 151, a mixing bin unit 152 mounted on the swing unit 151 and located below the outlet 1410, and an air blowing unit 153 rotatably mounted on the mixing bin unit 152. The swing unit 151 drives the mixing bin unit 152 to swing and throw the tea leaves and dried flowers inside. The air blowing unit 153 blows air onto the tea leaves and dried flowers to change their movement trajectory.

[0042] It should be noted that the sealing machine 2 is existing technology, which includes a feeding conveyor line 21, a sealing machine body 22 and a discharging conveyor line 23. The specific working principle of the sealing machine 2 will not be described in detail in this invention.

[0043] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 As shown, the transfer component 3 includes a mounting frame c31, a bracket 31 horizontally mounted on the mounting frame c31, two sets of sliding pairs 32 mounted on the bracket 31, a sliding plate 33 mounted on the two sets of sliding pairs 32, a pneumatic gripper mounting plate 34 fixedly mounted on the sliding plate 33, a pneumatic gripper 35 mounted on the pneumatic gripper mounting plate 34, and a horizontal cylinder 36 mounted on the bracket 31. The power output end of the horizontal cylinder 36 is connected to the pneumatic gripper mounting plate 34.

[0044] It should be noted that the dust collection mechanism 17 is existing technology, and its working principle will not be elaborated in detail in this invention.

[0045] It should be further noted that the sliding pair 32 is a combination of a square box-shaped linear bearing and an optical shaft. The transverse cylinder 36 drives the pneumatic gripper 35 to move to the unloading station 30. Then, the pneumatic gripper 35 grabs the packaging bag. After that, the transverse cylinder 36 resets and the pneumatic gripper 35 sends the packaging bag to the feeding conveyor line 21. The feeding conveyor line 21 sends the packaging bag into the sealing machine 2. The sealing machine 2 seals the packaging bag. Then, the discharge conveyor line 22 sends the packaging bag out.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the turntable mechanism 12 includes a square box 121 mounted on the frame 11, a rotary support bearing 122 mounted on the square box 121, a secondary disc 123 mounted on the rotary support bearing 122, a cam divider 124 disposed on one side of the square box 121, and a gear 125 disposed on the cam divider 124 and meshing with the rotary support bearing 122.

[0047] It should be noted that the brand of the slewing support bearing 122 is Luoyang Jiawei, model 01 series, and the motor used in the cam divider 124 is a Jingyan 200W motor.

[0048] It should be further noted that the cam divider 124 drives the gear 125 to rotate, which in turn drives the slewing support bearing 122 to rotate the auxiliary disk 123. In this invention, the auxiliary disk 123 is divided into 120°.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, the bearing mechanism 13 includes a rotating seat a131 fixedly mounted on the sub-disc 123, a bearing plate 132 radially arranged along the sub-disc 123 and rotatably mounted on the rotating seat a131, a support seat 133 transversely mounted on the outside of the rotating seat a131, a hydraulic buffer 134 mounted on the support seat 133 and whose end can abut against the lower surface of the bearing plate 132, a spring 135 disposed between the bearing plate 132 and the sub-disc 123 and located at the end of the bearing plate 132, an abutment block a136 disposed above the bearing plate 132 and opposite to the spring 135, a limiting strip 137 fixedly arranged along the movement trajectory of the abutment block a136 and located between the bagging station 20 and the unloading station 30, and abutment blocks b138 spaced below the limiting strip 137 and abutting against the abutment block a136.

[0050] It should be noted that during the process of the auxiliary plate 123 driving the carrying mechanism 13 from the bagging station 20 to the unloading station 30, the abutting block a136 will abut against the abutting block b138, and under the action of the spring 135 and the hydraulic buffer 134, the end of the carrying plate 132 will swing up and down, so that the tea and dried flowers at the opening of the packaging bag are flattened, preventing the tea and dried flowers from piling up and affecting the sealing during the bagging process.

[0051] It should also be noted that the hydraulic shock absorber 134 is a brand of AirLike, and its model is SAC-1408C.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bag opening mechanism 16 includes a vertical plate 161 disposed at the outer end of the support plate 132 and disposed along the length of the support plate 132, a bag opening cylinder 162 mounted on the vertical plate 161 and located outside the bag filling area 160, four sets of guide optical shafts 163 vertically sliding through the vertical plate 161 and evenly distributed around the bag opening cylinder 162, a cylinder connecting plate 164 connecting the four sets of guide optical shafts 163 and connected to the power output end of the bag opening cylinder 162, a suction cup mounting plate 165 located at the other end of the guide optical shafts 163 relative to the cylinder connecting plate 164 and connecting the four sets of guide optical shafts 163, and a plurality of suction cups 166 mounted on the suction cup mounting plate 165.

[0053] It should be noted that the worker places the packaging bag inside the bagging area 160, and then the opening cylinders 162 on both sides drive the two sets of suction cup mounting plates 165 to move to the middle position. The suction cups 166 adsorb the packaging bag, and then the opening cylinders 162 reset, and the packaging bag opens accordingly.

[0054] It should also be noted that the brand of the bag-opening cylinder 162 is Qilike, and the model is JD6*25-B.

[0055] Furthermore, the storage bin 142 includes a storage area a1421 and a storage area b1422 arranged symmetrically on the left and right, and the discharge ports of the two respectively form the discharge port 1410.

[0056] It should be noted that the storage area a1421 stores tea leaves, and the discharge area b1422 stores dried flowers.

[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the opening and closing unit 143 includes a sealing plate 1431 slidably disposed at the discharge port 1410, an opening and closing cylinder mounting plate 1432 installed on the side of the storage bin 142, and an opening and closing cylinder 1433 installed on the opening and closing cylinder mounting plate 1432 and whose power end is connected to the sealing plate 1431.

[0058] It should be noted that the opening and closing cylinder 1433 drives the sealing plate 1431 to move, the discharge port 1410 opens, and the tea leaves and dried flowers fall at the same time; the opening and closing cylinder 1433 drives the sealing plate 1431 to reset, and the discharge port 1410 is blocked.

[0059] It should also be noted that the opening and closing cylinder 1433 is a brand of Qilike, and the model is TD10*75.

[0060] Furthermore, the swing unit 151 includes a rotating seat b1511 fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket a141, a mounting bracket b1512 fixedly mounted on the square box 121, a turntable 1513 rotatably mounted on the rotating seat b1511, a connecting pin 1514 eccentrically mounted on the turntable 1513, and a swing cylinder 1515 with one end rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket b1512 and its power output end rotatably connected to the connecting pin 1514.

[0061] It should be noted that the swing cylinder 1515 is branded by Qilike, model DN32*50-CB-G, and is equipped with a tailstock DN32-CA.

[0062] It should also be noted that, since the slewing support bearing 122 is hollow, the mounting bracket b1512 can be installed on the square box 121.

[0063] Furthermore, the mixing chamber unit 152 includes a connecting shaft 1521 disposed on the other side of the turntable 1513 and eccentrically disposed relative to the connecting pin 1514, a swing rod 1522 fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 1521, a mixing dish 1523 fixedly installed at the free end of the swing rod 1522, a baffle 1524 disposed on the other side of the mixing dish 1523 relative to the swing rod 1522, a discharge port 1525 opened at the bottom of the mixing dish 1523, a fixed shaft 1526 fixedly installed below the swing rod 1522, a lever 1527 rotatably mounted on the fixed shaft 1526 by a torsion spring, a baffle plate 1528 fixedly installed at the end of the lever 1527 and controlling the opening and closing of the discharge port 1525, and an electromagnet assembly 1529 fixedly disposed and driving the lever 1527 to rotate.

[0064] It should be noted that the swing cylinder 1515 drives the turntable 1513 to rotate via the connecting pin 1514, which in turn drives the swing rod 1522 and the mixing dish 1523 to swing. The tea leaves and dried flowers in the mixing dish 1523 are thrown up. After that, the swing rod 1522 and the mixing dish 1523 return to their original positions, and the tea leaves and dried flowers fall back into the mixing dish 1523. The above process is repeated several times to achieve thorough mixing of the tea leaves and dried flowers.

[0065] It should also be noted that, in order to ensure that the tea leaves and dried flowers can be tossed up smoothly, the rotation center of the turntable 1513 is located between the mixing dish 1523 and the connecting shaft 1521, and the baffle 1524 provided on one side edge of the mixing dish 1523 can effectively prevent the tea leaves and dried flowers from spilling out of the mixing dish 1523 during the tossing process.

[0066] It is important to note that, such as Figure 5 As shown, after the tea leaves and dried flowers in the mixing dish 1523 are mixed evenly, the electromagnet component 1529 generates magnetic force, attracting the lever 1527. The blocking plate 1528 opens the discharge port 1525, and the tea leaves and dried flowers fall into the packaging bag. Then, the electromagnet component 1529 is de-energized, and under the action of the torsion spring, the lever 1527 resets, and the blocking plate 1528 seals the discharge port 1525.

[0067] Furthermore, the blowing unit 153 includes a rotating seat c1531 fixedly mounted on the swing rod 1522, a rotating rod 1532 rotatably mounted on the rotating seat c1531, an arc-shaped strip 1533 mounted on the end of the rotating rod 1532 with its opening facing the mixing dish 1523, and a plurality of air nozzles 1534 arranged in a circumferential array on the inner side of the arc-shaped strip 1533.

[0068] It should be noted that when the mixing dish 1534 tosses the tea leaves and dried flowers into the air, their trajectories in the air are parabolic.

[0069] It is also necessary to explain that, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, under the action of inertia, when the mixing dish 1534 moves upward, the arc-shaped strip 1533 abuts against the mixing dish 1523, and then the air nozzle 1534 blows air onto the inner wall of the mixing dish 1523. The air is blown along the inner wall of the mixing dish 1523 toward the tea leaves and dried flowers, thereby causing the lighter materials to move forward. Then, when the mixing dish 1534 moves downward, under the action of inertia, the arc-shaped strip 1533 disengages from the mixing dish 1534, the tail of the rotating rod 1532 abuts against the rotating seat c1531, and the air nozzle 1534 blows air toward the tea leaves and dried flowers thrown into the air, thereby causing the lighter materials located at the front to be located below the heavier materials.

[0070] It is important to note that the tea leaves and dried flowers are mixed evenly, and the overall weight of the material is relatively high. This allows for compensation when the packaging bag is shaken during subsequent processing, ensuring that the tea leaves and dried flowers are mixed more evenly inside the packaging bag.

[0071] Example 2:

[0072] like Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for packaging tea and dried flowers together. This packaging method uses the aforementioned tea and dried flower packaging equipment and includes the following steps:

[0073] Step 1: Opening the bag. At the bag loading station 10, the worker places the packaging bag in the bagging area 160. Two sets of bag opening mechanisms 16 open the packaging bag, and the turntable mechanism 12 sends the packaging bag to the bagging station 20.

[0074] Step 2: Mix tea leaves and dried flowers, and open / close unit 143.

[0075] When the discharge port 1410 is opened, the tea leaves and dried flowers fall into the mixing chamber unit 152. The swing unit 151 drives the mixing chamber unit 152 to swing, and in conjunction with the blowing unit 153, the tea leaves and dried flowers are mixed. After mixing, the tea leaves and dried flowers fall into the packaging bag. The turntable mechanism 12 sends the packaging bag to the unloading station 30.

[0076] Step 3: Packaging bag transfer, the transfer component 3 grabs the packaging bag onto the sealing machine 2;

[0077] Step 4: Sealing the bag. The sealing machine 2 seals the packaging bag.

[0078] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
