Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the design and application of tea production equipment, and more specifically to an expandable continuous intelligent kneading machine unit. Background Art

[0002] The production process of tea generally includes withering, rolling, drying and other processes. The rolling process is a very important link in the tea production process. It is directly related to the appearance, internal quality (aroma, taste, soup color) of the tea and the progress of subsequent processes. Tea rolling is to shape the withered tea leaves by applying external force, kneading, rubbing, pressing, grabbing and other actions, and moderately damage the tea cells so that the cell fluid overflows from the surface of the tea leaves.

[0003] Tea rolling has evolved from a purely manual process to a mechanized one today, and tea rolling equipment has also been increasingly refined with the advancement of design and production. For example, the Chinese patent "A Feeding Device for a Tea Rolling Unit," Grant Announcement No. CN222181130U, discloses the specific structure and use of a prior art feeding device for a tea rolling unit. As can be seen from the aforementioned disclosure, this solution, through the provision of a feeding device, can efficiently deliver material to multiple rolling units, enabling the tea rolling process.

[0004] The feeding device of the existing rolling machine group completes the feeding and conveying of each rolling machine group by setting up multiple groups of feed channels and moving the materials through the feed channels. However, the design of each group of feed channels is not only structurally complex, but also has low conveying efficiency and material loading and dividing efficiency. The automation level of the equipment still needs to be further improved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention discloses an expandable continuous intelligent kneading machine group, the main purpose of which is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies and shortcomings of the prior art.

[0006] The present invention can continuously realize the production operations of automatic material separation, blanking and discharging by improving the structure of the kneading machine group. The structure is more simplified and reasonable, which reduces the use of space and improves the automatic production efficiency of the equipment. It has high application and promotion value.

[0007] The technical solution adopted in the present invention is as follows:

[0008] A scalable continuous intelligent kneading machine group includes a frame body, on which a working turntable, a feeding device and a discharging device are provided, a plurality of kneading units are evenly distributed on the working turntable, and a feeding port and a discharging port are provided on the kneading unit, the feeding device is connected to the feeding port for conveying, and the discharging port is connected to the discharging device for conveying; the feeding device includes a feeding hopper, a dividing plate, a conveying chute and a feeding baffle, the output end of the feeding hopper is connected to the conveying chute, the dividing plate is installed in cooperation with the upper part of the conveying chute, the material output by the feeding hopper is divided on the dividing plate, and the feeding baffle is installed in cooperation with the output end of the conveying chute, and the feeding baffle is used to open and close the conveying chute.

[0009] Furthermore, the material distribution plate includes a material distribution plate, a rotating ratchet, and a limiting pawl. The material distribution plate is installed on the rotating ratchet. The rotating ratchet drives the material distribution plate to rotate, and the material output by the feed hopper falls onto the material distribution plate; the limiting pawl cooperates with the rotating ratchet to limit and stop.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the feed baffle is connected to the output end of a driving motor, and the driving motor drives the feed baffle to rotate back and forth. The bottom of the feed baffle is connected to a connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is linked to the limiting pawl.

[0011] Furthermore, the material distribution tray has a "cross"-shaped material distribution tray structure, and four storage areas are provided thereon.

[0012] Furthermore, the feed hopper is equipped with a discharge sensor.

[0013] Furthermore, there are eight groups of kneading units, which are evenly arranged along the circumference of the working turntable.

[0014] Furthermore, the conveying chute is installed in an inclined shape.

[0015] Furthermore, the discharging device is a discharging conveyor belt.

[0016] It can be seen from the above description and illustration of the present invention that, compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0017] Advantage 1: The present invention provides a working turntable, a feeding device and a discharging device, which can not only realize automatic material separation, blanking and discharging processes, ensuring that each process is carried out continuously and accurately, but also makes the overall equipment more compact and reasonable, does not occupy limited site space, and reduces production costs.

[0018] Advantage 2: The present invention sets up structures such as a material distribution plate, a rotating ratchet, a limiting pawl, and a feed baffle, and utilizes the material's own weight, which can not only realize the automatic rotation of the material distribution plate but also realize the automatic dropping of the material. At the same time, by utilizing the linkage connection structure of the rotating ratchet, the limiting pawl and the feed baffle, the linkage operation of automatic material distribution and dropping can be completed, thereby improving the overall automated production and processing level of the equipment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described and illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an expandable continuous intelligent kneading machine unit includes a frame 1, on which a working turntable 2, a feeding device 3, and a discharging device 4 are provided. The working turntable 2 is evenly provided with a plurality of kneading units 5, and there are eight groups of kneading units 5, which are evenly arranged along the circumference of the working turntable 2. The kneading units 5 are provided with a feeding port 51 and a discharging port 52. The feeding device 3 is connected to the feeding port 51 for conveying, and the discharging port 52 is connected to the discharging device 4 for conveying. The discharging device 4 is a discharging conveyor belt. By providing the working turntable 2, the feeding device 3, and the discharging device 4, not only can the automatic material sorting, blanking, and discharge processes be realized, ensuring that each process is carried out continuously and accurately, but the overall equipment is more compact and reasonable, does not occupy limited site space, and reduces production costs.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the feeding device 3 includes a feeding hopper 31, a dividing plate 32, a conveying chute 33 and a feeding baffle 34. The conveying chute 33 is installed in an inclined shape. The output end of the feeding hopper 31 is connected to the conveying chute 33. The dividing plate 32 is installed on the upper part of the conveying chute 33. The feeding hopper 31 is equipped with a discharge sensor 311. The material output by the feeding hopper 31 is divided on the dividing plate 32. The dividing plate 32 is installed on the upper part of the conveying chute 33. The plate 32 includes a material distribution plate 321, a rotating ratchet 322, and a limiting pawl 323. The material distribution plate 321 is a "cross" material distribution plate structure, on which four storage areas are provided. The material distribution plate 321 is installed on the rotating ratchet 322, and the rotating ratchet 322 drives the material distribution plate 321 to rotate, and the material output by the feed hopper 31 falls onto the material distribution plate 321; the limiting pawl 323 cooperates with the rotating ratchet 322 to limit and stop.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the feed baffle 34 is mounted on the output end of the conveying chute 33 and is used to open and close the conveying chute 33. One end of the feed baffle 34 is connected to the output end of a drive motor 35, which drives the feed baffle 34 to rotate back and forth. A connecting rod 36 is connected to the bottom of the feed baffle 34, and the other end of the connecting rod 36 is linked to the limit pawl 323.

[0029] The operation process of this design scheme:

[0030] Step 1: Automatic tea delivery and sorting:

[0031] The tea leaves are transported from the feed hopper 31 to the distribution plate 321. The rotating ratchet 322 is kept stationary by the limiting pawl 323. The distribution plate 321 mounted on the rotating ratchet 322 also remains stationary, completing the automatic distribution of the tea leaves before transportation.

[0032] Step 2: Automatic tea delivery:

[0033] The working turntable 2 on the frame body 1 rotates, so that the feeding device 3 is relative to the feeding port 51 on the kneading unit 5, and then the driving motor 35 is started, driving the feeding baffle 34 to open, and the connecting rod 36 at the bottom of the feeding baffle 34 is synchronously driven, so that the limit ratchet 323 connected thereto is synchronously linked, and the limit ratchet 323 is then disengaged from the limit position, and the distribution plate 321 is turned downward under the action of the weight of the tea leaves themselves, and the rotation of the distribution plate 321 will drive the rotating ratchet 322 to rotate, and the rotation of the distribution plate 321 is sensed by the discharging sensor 311. The material is discharged from the discharge hopper 31 and falls into the next storage area of the distribution plate 321. The weight of the material causes the distribution plate 321 to continue to rotate. At the same time, the material discharged from the distribution plate 321 falls into the conveying chute 33 and is discharged from the output end of the conveying chute 33. Then the driving motor 35 is restarted, driving the feed baffle 34 to close, completing the automatic material discharge. At this time, the connecting rod 36 of the feed baffle 34 also returns to its position synchronously, causing the limit pawl 323 to return to the limit position. The distribution plate 321 stops rotating, completing the automatic material discharge and preparing for the next material discharge.

[0034] Step 3: Automatic discharge of tea leaves

[0035] When the working turntable 2 rotates to the working position of the discharging device 4, the discharging port 52 on the rolling unit 5 opens, and the rolled tea leaves are conveyed to the conveyor belt of the discharging device 4, completing automatic discharging.

[0036] The above is only a specific implementation of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited to this. Any non-substantial improvement of the present invention using this concept should be considered an infringement of the protection scope of the present invention.
