Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically to a machine for fixing and shaping Taiping Houkui tea leaves. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of Taiping Houkui tea, after the tea leaves are withered and shaped, they need to be pressed into shape using a pressing machine. During pressing, it is crucial to ensure that the tea leaves are arranged in the same direction, with either the leaf tip or the stem end facing forward, to guarantee consistent pressing results. However, the tea leaves produced after withering and shaping are often inconsistent in shape, with some leaf tips facing forward and others stem ends facing forward, resulting in a scattered, random, and irregular arrangement. This requires manual sorting and arrangement before they can enter the pressing process. Manual sorting and arrangement is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing withering and shaping machine to ensure that the tea leaves are output in an orderly manner and conveyed forward in a uniform direction after withering and shaping. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a Taiping Houkui tea fixing and shaping machine, which solves the problems of low efficiency and high cost that existing Taiping Houkui tea requires manual placement and feeding after fixing and shaping. The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a Taiping Houkui tea fixing and shaping machine, including a frame, a swing frame that swings back and forth in the horizontal direction on the frame, and a set of fixing and shaping grooves arranged side by side in the vertical direction on the swing frame. The fixing and shaping grooves are arranged inclined downwards, and a set of material discharge adjustment devices are provided at the discharge end of the fixing and shaping grooves. The material feeding adjustment device includes a feeding port that connects to the discharge end of the tea leaf trough, a direction adjustment channel located below the feeding port, and a posture adjustment output channel that connects to the direction adjustment channel. The width of the direction adjustment channel is greater than the length of the tea leaves, and the height is less than the length of the tea leaves, forming a flat channel structure. Below the direction adjustment channel, there is a blowing device that blows air into the direction adjustment channel. The blowing device blows air inward, thereby changing the direction of the falling tea leaves, so that the heavier stem end faces forward and the lighter leaf tip faces backward. The posture adjustment output channel has a tapered structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The width of the lower outlet is adapted to the width of the tea leaves, thereby ensuring that the tea leaves are output with the same posture. The material feeding adjustment device includes a bottom slide plate extending from the material feeding port to the discharge end of the attitude adjustment output channel; side baffles and converging baffles are disposed on both sides of the bottom slide plate, the side baffles extending from the material feeding port to the end of the orientation adjustment channel, and the converging baffles located on both sides of the attitude adjustment output channel; a flaring plate installed on the side baffles is also provided at the material feeding port to increase the area of ​​the material feeding port, thereby ensuring that the tea leaves fall smoothly into the material feeding port; an upper sealing plate is provided on the orientation adjustment channel, and the upper sealing plate is arranged parallel to the bottom slide plate. To facilitate the flipping of the tea leaves, the width of the air outlet of the blower is the same as the width of the direction adjustment channel, and the air from the blower is blown obliquely upward toward the bottom slide plate. Preferably, the tilt angle of the bottom plate is 20-45°, and the air force of the blower is 170-250L / min. The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention uses a fixing and shaping trough for fixing the tea leaves. The tea leaves are shaped simultaneously with the fixing process, and they generally do not overlap within the trough. Therefore, tea leaves in the same trough can fall into the feeding port one by one. Due to the relatively long length of Taiping Houkui tea, combined with the lateral oscillation of the fixing and shaping trough, the tea leaves fall into the feeding port at a certain angle. A blowing device applies an upward force during the descent of the tea leaves. Combined with the characteristic of Houkui tea being lighter at the front and heavier at the stem end, the tea leaves adjust their posture under the combined action of the wind force and their own weight distribution. This ensures that the heavier stem end is lower than the lighter leaf tip and slides downwards. Then, under the action of the converging baffle, the Taiping Houkui tea leaves are output with the stem end facing forward. Therefore, this structure ensures that Taiping Houkui tea leaves are uniformly output with the stem end facing forward, and then promptly carried away by the conveyor belt. This allows them to be transported forward along the conveyor belt in a uniform direction, facilitating subsequent processing and improving the consistency of Houkui tea processing. This structure eliminates the need for manual operation, significantly reducing labor costs. Furthermore, its high degree of automation and efficiency effectively lowers the processing costs of Taiping Houkui tea. The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the material feeding adjustment device in this invention. Detailed Implementation Examples, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a Taiping Houkui tea fixing and shaping machine includes a frame 1, a swing frame 2 that reciprocates laterally on the frame 1, and a set of fixing and shaping grooves 3 arranged side-by-side longitudinally on the swing frame 2. The fixing and shaping grooves 3 are arranged at an angle downwards. The tea leaves are fixed and shaped within the fixing and shaping grooves 3 and gradually output towards the discharge port. To facilitate material receiving and adjust the direction of the tea leaves, a set of material discharge adjustment devices 4 are correspondingly provided at the discharge end of each fixing and shaping groove 3. The specific driving structure of the swing frame 2 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The size of the fixing and shaping grooves 3 can be designed according to the size of the Taiping Houkui tea, so that the Taiping Houkui tea leaves move forward in a sequential manner within the fixing and shaping grooves 3. Since the orientation of the tea leaves is random during fixing, which is not conducive to subsequent pressing and shaping, it is necessary to adjust the orientation of the tea leaves to be consistent. For this purpose, the material discharge adjustment devices 4 are designed. Specifically, the material feeding adjustment device 4 is divided into three sections from top to bottom: a material feeding port 41 that connects to the discharge end of the fixing and shaping trough 3; a direction adjustment channel 42 located below the material feeding port 41; and a posture adjustment output channel 43 that connects to the direction adjustment channel 42. The width of the direction adjustment channel 42 is greater than the length of the tea leaves, and the height is less than the length of the tea leaves, forming a flat channel structure. Below the direction adjustment channel 42, a blowing device 44 is installed to blow air into the direction adjustment channel 42. The blowing device 44 blows air inward, thereby changing the direction of the falling tea leaves, so that the heavier stem end faces forward and the lighter leaf tip faces backward. The posture adjustment output channel 43 has a tapered structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The width of the lower outlet is adapted to the width of the tea leaves, so that the tea leaves are output with the same posture. A conveyor belt 5 is connected to the discharge end of the posture adjustment output channel 43 to promptly transport the falling tea leaves away, so that Taiping Houkui tea leaves are neatly arranged and transported forward in the same direction on the conveyor belt 5, facilitating their entry into the pressing and forming process. The material feeding adjustment device 4 comprises a bottom slide plate 411 extending from the material feeding port 41 to the discharge end of the attitude adjustment output channel 43. Side baffles 412 and converging baffles 413 are disposed on both sides of the bottom slide plate 411. The side baffles 412 extend from the material feeding port 411 to the end of the orientation adjustment channel 42, and the converging baffles 413 are located on both sides of the attitude adjustment output channel 43. A flared plate 414 installed on the side baffles 412 is also provided at the material feeding port 41 to increase the area of ​​the material feeding port 41, thereby ensuring that the tea leaves fall smoothly into the material feeding port 41. An upper sealing plate 415 is provided on the orientation adjustment channel 42, and the upper sealing plate 415 is arranged parallel to the bottom slide plate 411. The air outlet width of the blowing device 44 is the same as the width of the direction adjustment channel 42. The air from the blowing device 44 blows obliquely upwards towards the bottom slide plate 411, applying an upward air force to the Taiping Houkui tea leaves falling from the discharge port 41. The air force of the blowing device 44 is 170-250 L / min, and the air force of the blowing device 44 can be adjusted according to the actual situation on site. Specifically, the blowing device 44 may include a frequency-modulated fan and an air outlet pipe 441. The front end of the air outlet pipe 441 is connected to a trumpet-shaped flat air outlet hood 442. The outlet of the air outlet hood 442 is a flat opening with a width the same as the width of the direction adjustment channel 42. The tilt angle of the bottom slide plate 411 is 20-45°, that is, the tilt angle of the material dropping adjustment device 4 is 20-45°. This can be adjusted according to the actual on-site installation conditions. Combined with the wind power adjustment of the wind power device 44, this allows the Taiping Houkui tea to fall smoothly and its direction to be adjusted during the falling process, ensuring that the heavier stem end faces forward and the lighter leaf tip faces backward. Preferably, the direction adjustment channel 42 has a height of 60mm, a width of 300mm, and a length of 120mm. The principle of this device is as follows: According to the picking standards of Taiping Houkui tea, the tea leaves are usually 80-100mm in length, with thick stems and relatively light leaves. Therefore, after fixing and shaping, the Taiping Houkui tea leaves are heavier at the stem end and lighter at the leaf tip. When the Taiping Houkui tea leaves are discharged from the discharge end of the fixing and shaping trough 3, due to the length of the tea leaves, the front end falls out of the fixing and shaping trough 3 while the rear end is still inside. Combined with the lateral swing of the fixing and shaping trough 3, the Taiping Houkui tea leaves do not fall vertically when they leave the fixing and shaping trough 3, but rather fall at a certain angle. Then, during the descent, by controlling the wind force and the tilt angle of the bottom slide plate 411, under the same wind force, the heavier stem end slides down faster than the lighter leaf tip. Thus, during the descent, it gradually changes to a posture with the stem end facing forward and the leaf tip facing backward. Then, through the structural design of the posture adjustment output channel 43, the stem end of Taiping Houkui tea is finally conveyed forward, achieving consistency in the output direction and facilitating subsequent production and processing. The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution; or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
