Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tea processing equipment, and in particular relates to an omnidirectional inclined tea airflow sorting machine. Background Art

[0002] Tea generally includes leaves and buds of the tea plant. Tea ingredients include catechins, cholestenone, caffeine, inositol, folic acid, and pantothenic acid, which are beneficial to health. Tea beverages made from tea are one of the three major beverages in the world. After the tea leaves are picked, they need to be further screened to ensure the uniformity of the tea quality.

[0003] In the prior art, the screening processes used in tea processing are mostly vibration sorting and airflow sorting. Among them, the advantage of airflow sorting is high efficiency and is suitable for large-scale tea processing lines. However, due to the irregular shape of tea leaves, dry tea leaves are very likely to be hooked and adhered to each other with broken leaves, impurities, etc. If the impurities are not separated from the tea leaves by screening or other means before air separation, the impurities may be sorted into the tea pile together with the tea leaves during the air separation process, reducing the accuracy of the sorting. However, the use of manual advance screening and other methods to separate impurities in large-scale tea processing lines is obviously inefficient. For this reason, we propose an omnidirectional inclined tea airflow sorting machine. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide an omnidirectional inclined tea airflow sorting machine which can overcome the above problems or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an omnidirectional inclined tea airflow sorting machine, including a hopper, and also including: a guide plate, which is arranged at the lower part of the hopper; a column is fixedly connected to the guide plate, one end of the column is fixedly connected to a crossbeam, and a lower support platform is arranged at the lower part of the crossbeam; a discharge port is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hopper, and a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to both sides of the discharge port, and a baffle is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft; when the guide plate is driven to slide back and forth along the lower support platform; the baffle opens and closes, so that the tea leaves in the hopper fall on the guide plate, and the sliding of the guide plate screens the tea leaves.

[0006] Preferably, a guide rail is fixedly connected to the top of the lower support platform, a slide groove corresponding to the guide rail is provided on the crossbeam, and the crossbeam is slidably connected to the guide rail via the slide groove.

[0007] Preferably, the other end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a rocker arm 1, one end of the rocker arm 1 is rotatably connected to a driving rod 1, and one end of the driving rod 1 is rotatably connected to a material guide plate.

[0008] Preferably, a second support rod is fixedly connected to one side of the lower support platform, a protective shell is fixedly connected to the top of the second support rod, and a motor is arranged in the protective shell.

[0009] Furthermore, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to a synchronous wheel, and the synchronous wheel is fixedly connected to a propeller.

[0010] Preferably, a blade guard shell is fixedly connected to the protective shell, and the propeller is located in the blade guard shell.

[0011] Furthermore, the synchronous wheel is meshed with a synchronous belt, and the synchronous belt is meshed with an inducer wheel; a connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the inducer wheel, a section of the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to a rocker arm 2, and one end of the rocker arm 2 is rotatably connected to a driving rod 2.

[0012] Furthermore, the induction wheel is rotatably connected to the support rod 1, and the lower part of the support rod 1 is fixedly connected to the lower support platform.

[0013] Preferably, support columns are fixedly connected to the four corners of the hopper, and a gasket is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support column.

[0014] Preferably, a material receiving trough is also provided at the lower portion of the material guide plate.

[0015] After adopting the above technical scheme, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: the present invention designs a rotatable baffle for the hopper, so that the tea leaves in the hopper can be stirred during the discharge process, and the tea leaves that may be stuck or hooked together can be preliminarily separated. The discharge speed can also be controlled by controlling the rotation speed of the baffle. When the tea leaves fall on the guide plate, the guide plate that is inclined and can slide back and forth guides the tea leaves to the receiving trough on the one hand, and can also screen the tea leaves on the other hand to further separate the tea leaves. Lighter materials such as tea residues and impurities will be thrown farther when they are impacted by the guide plate, resulting in better separation effect. At the same time, the airflow formed by the propeller performs airflow sorting on the tea leaves moving on the guide plate, and the sorted tea leaves fall into the corresponding notches in the receiving trough, which is convenient for people to collect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0025] Example: Refer to Figure 1-Figure 5, an omnidirectional inclined tea airflow sorting machine, comprising a hopper 1, and also comprising: a guide plate 2, which is arranged at the lower part of the hopper 1; a column 21 is fixedly connected to the guide plate 2, one end of the column 21 is fixedly connected to a crossbeam 22, and a lower support platform 3 is arranged at the lower part of the crossbeam 22; a feed outlet 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hopper 1, and a rotating shaft 121 is rotatably connected to both sides of the feed outlet 12, and a baffle 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 121; when the guide plate is driven to spread 2 slides back and forth along the lower support platform 3; the baffle 13 opens and closes, so that the tea leaves in the hopper 1 fall onto the guide plate 2, and the sliding of the guide plate 2 sieves the tea leaves; the top of the lower support platform 3 is fixedly connected to the guide rail 31, and the cross beam 22 is provided with a slide groove corresponding to the guide rail 31, and the cross beam 22 is slidably connected to the guide rail 31 through the slide groove; the other end of the rotating shaft 121 is fixedly connected to the rocker arm 122, and one end of the rocker arm 122 is rotatably connected to the driving rod 123, and the driving rod 1 One end of the lower support platform 3 is connected to the guide plate 2 for rotation; a support rod 2 33 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower support platform 3, a protective shell 34 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 2, and a motor 4 is arranged in the protective shell 34; a synchronous wheel 41 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 4, and a propeller 42 is fixedly connected to the synchronous wheel 41; a blade protective shell 48 is fixedly connected to the protective shell 34, and the propeller 42 is located in the blade protective shell 48; a synchronous belt 43 is meshed with the synchronous wheel 41, and the synchronous belt 43 is meshed with the synchronous wheel 41. The induction wheel 44 is meshed with each other; a connecting shaft 45 is fixedly connected to the induction wheel 44, a section of the connecting shaft 45 is fixedly connected to a rocker arm 2 46, and one end of the rocker arm 2 46 is rotatably connected to a driving rod 2 47; the induction wheel 44 is rotatably connected to a support rod 1 32, and the lower part of the support rod 1 32 is fixedly connected to the lower support platform 3; the four corners of the hopper 1 are fixedly connected to support columns 11, and the bottom of the support column 11 is fixedly connected to a gasket 111; a material receiving trough 5 is also provided at the lower part of the guide plate 2;

[0026] The tea leaves to be sorted are first poured into the hopper 1. At this time, the discharge port 12 is closed and the baffle 13 completely blocks the discharge port 12. Then, the motor 4 is started, and the motor 4 drives the synchronous wheel 41 to rotate. The synchronous belt 43 transmits the rotation of the synchronous wheel 41 to the inducer 44, so that the inducer 44 rotates, and then the rocker arm 2 46 fixedly connected to the inducer 44 through the connecting shaft 45 rotates around the connecting shaft 45. The rocker arm 2 46 drives the driving rod 2 47 connected to the rotation thereof, and finally makes the guide plate 2 slide back and forth on the top of the lower support platform 3. When the guide plate 2 slides back and forth, the guide plate 2 will drive the driving rod 123, and the driving rod 123 will drive the rocker arm 122 to rotate around the rotating shaft 121, so that the baffle 13 rotates. When the baffle 13 rotates, the discharge port 12 is opened, and the tea leaves in the hopper 1 fall on the guide plate 2. After the baffle 13 rotates one circle, the discharge port 12 is blocked again, and the tea leaves in the hopper 1 no longer continue to fall out of the discharge port 12. In the process of discharging, the tea leaves can be preliminarily stirred to separate the tea leaves, and the rotation speed of the motor 4 can be adjusted. The speed of the baffle 13 is controlled by the speed of the baffle 13, thereby limiting the speed of the material discharge; when the tea leaves fall on the guide plate 2, the guide plate 2 itself continuously slides back and forth in the horizontal direction, which will exert an impact force on the tea leaves, forming a sieving movement on the tea leaves, and again promoting the separation of the tea leaves. Because the tea residues and impurities are lighter in weight, they will be thrown farther when they are hit by the guide plate 2, further enhancing the separation effect. When the tea leaves slide downward on the inclined guide plate 2, the airflow formed by the rotation of the propeller 42 separates the sliding tea leaves. The sorted tea slides down along the guide plate 2 and falls into the corresponding receiving trough 5; a blade protection shell 48 is arranged on the outside of the propeller 42 to prevent the rotating propeller 42 from injuring people; a protective shell 34 is also arranged on the outside of the motor 4 to prevent dust and powder from entering the inside of the motor 4 and causing damage to the motor 4; the hopper 1 is placed on the ground through the support columns 11 fixedly connected at its four corners, and a gasket 111 is arranged at the bottom of the support column 11 to reduce the pressure on the ground, so that the hopper 1 can be placed on a softer ground, thereby improving the adaptability of the present invention.

[0027] The present invention designs a rotatable baffle 13 for the hopper 1, so that the tea leaves in the hopper 1 can be stirred during the discharge process, and the tea leaves that may be stuck or hooked together can be preliminarily separated. The discharge speed can also be controlled by controlling the rotation speed of the baffle 13. When the tea leaves fall on the guide plate 2, the guide plate 2, which is arranged obliquely and can slide back and forth, guides the tea leaves to the receiving trough 5 on the one hand, and can also screen the tea leaves on the other hand to further separate the tea leaves. Lighter materials such as tea residues and impurities will be thrown farther when they are impacted by the guide plate 2, resulting in a better separation effect. At the same time, the airflow formed by the propeller 42 performs airflow sorting on the tea leaves moving on the guide plate 2, and the sorted tea leaves fall into the corresponding notches in the receiving trough 5, which is convenient for people to collect.

[0028] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with the present invention can make some changes or modify the technical contents suggested above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still fall within the scope of the solution of the present invention.
