Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tea rolling technology, specifically a tea rolling machine with a rotating rolling drum. Background Technology

[0002] Rolling is a step in tea processing. By using external force, the leaves are broken and made lighter, rolled into strips, and their volume reduced. At the same time, the tea cells are broken and the tea juice is extracted. The tea juice is squeezed out and adheres to the surface of the leaves, making the tea easier to brew and playing an important role in improving the concentration of tea flavor. For example, CN107691689A discloses a tea kneading machine, including a base, a support on the base, a hydraulic cylinder at the end of the support, a mechanical claw at the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder, the mechanical claw gripping a kneading mechanism, the kneading mechanism including an upper shell and a lower shell, fixed rods connected to both sides of the upper shell and the lower shell, the other end of the fixed rods being fixed to the support, slide rails on both sides of the support, the fixed rods sliding on the slide rails, an intermediate seat inside the upper shell and the lower shell, and an upper plate and a lower plate respectively on the upper and lower sides of the intermediate seat; This patented method involves kneading tea leaves of different sizes or types using an upper and lower disc, which is highly efficient and eliminates the need for manual feeding and unloading. However, because the kneading drum does not rotate, it makes it difficult for tea leaves adhering to the drum wall to leave and enter the interior. The circulation of tea leaves within the kneading drum is hindered, which is detrimental to the tea kneading process. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problem that the lack of rotation in the kneading drum makes it difficult for tea leaves adhering to the drum wall to detach and enter the interior, hindering the circulation of tea leaves within the drum and thus impeding the tea kneading process, this invention proposes a tea kneading machine with a rotating kneading drum.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a tea kneading machine with a rotating kneading drum, comprising a first connecting hinge: A crank is movably connected to the right end of the first connecting hinge. A second connecting hinge is movably connected to the end of the crank away from the first connecting hinge. A rotary support module is movably connected to the end of the second connecting hinge away from the crank. A middle ball bearing is movably connected to the inner cavity of the rotary support module away from the second connecting hinge. A kneading drum body is movably connected to the outer side of the right end of the middle ball bearing. A kneading drum wall is movably connected to the inner cavity of the kneading drum body. A rotary support inner ring is movably connected between the kneading drum wall and the kneading drum body. A large gear ring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotary support inner ring. A kneading drum rotary motor is movably connected to the top side of the large gear ring. A small gear is movably connected to one side of the large gear ring. A rotary support outer ring is fixedly disposed on the lower side of the small gear. The rotary support outer ring is movably connected to the outer side of the large gear ring. A fixed connecting member is fixedly connected to the top side of the rotary support outer ring. The rotary support outer ring is connected to the kneading drum rotary motor through the fixed connecting member.

[0005] Preferably, the kneading drum body, the inner ring of the rotating support module, and the large gear ring are connected as one unit.

[0006] Preferably, the kneading drum rotating motor acts on a small gear, and the small gear rotates the large gear ring through meshing.

[0007] Preferably, the kneading drum rotary motor is securely mounted on the top side of the outer ring of the rotary support by means of bolts or welding.

[0008] Preferably, the pinion and the large gear have the same module and the same pressure angle to ensure meshing transmission between them.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the kneading drum is provided with a plurality of protrusions, the shape of which is one or more combinations of hemispherical, trapezoidal or triangular.

[0010] Preferably, the wall of the kneading drum is made of a flexible material, such as rubber or silicone.

[0011] Preferably, the ball bearings of the rotary support module are made of wear-resistant, high-strength materials, such as bearing steel or ceramics.

[0013] Preferably, the kneading drum is provided with an observation window, which is made of a transparent high-strength material, such as tempered glass or acrylic sheet.

[0014] The advantages of this invention are: 1. This invention, through the cooperation of the first connecting hinge, crank, second connecting hinge, and rotating support module, enables the kneading drum to perform complex translational motion, and also to rotate itself through the transmission of the kneading drum rotary motor, pinion, and large gear ring. The rotation and complex translational motion of the kneading drum change the movement trajectory of the tea leaves inside the kneading drum, making it easier for tea leaves attached to the wall to leave the kneading drum wall and enter the interior, making the circulation of tea leaves inside the kneading drum smoother. This solves the problem of obstructed circulation of tea leaves in traditional kneading machines. At the same time, the rotation of the kneading drum can also turn the tea leaves that have sunk due to gravity to the top, further promoting the uniform kneading of tea leaves inside the kneading drum, and improving the quality and efficiency of tea kneading. 2. The invention uses flexible materials such as rubber and silicone to make the walls of the kneading drum, which can buffer the squeezing force during the kneading process to a certain extent, avoid excessive damage to the tea leaves, and also help the tea leaves to roll better in the kneading drum. The ball bearings of the rotating support module are made of wear-resistant and high-strength materials such as bearing steel and ceramics, which can ensure the stable rotation of the kneading drum, reduce wear, and extend the service life of the equipment. 3. This invention uses a controller connected to the kneading drum's rotating motor to adjust the motor's speed according to the type of tea and kneading requirements, in order to achieve the best kneading effect. The observation window on the kneading drum allows operators to observe the kneading process of the tea at any time, so as to adjust the equipment's operating parameters in a timely manner.

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Example 1 Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, a tea kneading machine with a rotating kneading drum includes a first connecting hinge 1: A crank 2 is movably connected to the right end of the first connecting hinge 1. A second connecting hinge 3 is movably connected to the end of the crank 2 away from the first connecting hinge 1. A rotary support module 4 is movably connected to the end of the second connecting hinge 3 away from the crank 2. A middle ball bearing 5 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the rotary support module 4 away from the second connecting hinge 3. A kneading drum body 6 is movably connected to the outer side of the right end of the middle ball bearing 5. A kneading drum wall 7 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the kneading drum body 6. A rotary support inner ring 8 is movably connected between the kneading drum wall 7 and the kneading drum body 6. A large gear ring 9 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotary support inner ring 8. A kneading drum rotary motor 10 is movably connected to the top side of the large gear ring 9. A small gear 11 is movably connected to one side of the large gear ring 9. A rotary support outer ring 12 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the small gear 11. The rotary support outer ring 12 is movably connected to the outer side of the large gear ring 9. A fixed connecting member 13 is fixedly connected to the top side of the rotary support outer ring 12. The rotary support outer ring 12 is connected to the kneading drum rotary motor 10 through the fixed connecting member 13.

[0020] Furthermore, the kneading drum body 6, the inner ring of the rotating support module 4, and the large gear ring 9 are connected as one unit; When in operation, the kneading drum rotary motor 10 is started, which drives the pinion 11 to rotate. Since the pinion 11 and the large gear ring 9 have the same module and pressure angle, they mesh and drive each other, and the large gear ring 9 rotates accordingly.

[0021] Furthermore, the kneading drum rotating motor 10 acts on the pinion 11, and the pinion 11 rotates the large gear ring 9 through meshing; During operation, because the kneading drum 6, the inner ring of the rotating support module 4, and the large gear ring 9 are connected as one unit, the kneading drum 6 begins to rotate under the drive of the large gear ring 9. At the same time as the kneading drum 6 rotates, the mechanism composed of the first connecting hinge 1, the crank 2, and the second connecting hinge 3 drives the rotating support module 4 to move, thereby causing the kneading drum 6 to perform complex translational motion.

[0022] Furthermore, the kneading drum rotary motor 10 is securely mounted on the top side of the outer ring 12 of the rotary support by means of bolts or welding.

[0023] Furthermore, the pinion 11 and the large gear ring 9 have the same module and the same pressure angle to ensure meshing transmission between them.

[0024] Furthermore, the inner wall of the kneading drum 6 is provided with several protrusions, the shape of which is one or more combinations of hemispherical, trapezoidal or triangular. During operation, as the kneading drum 6 rotates and undergoes complex translational motions, the protrusions on the inner wall of the kneading drum 6 continuously come into contact with and compress the tea leaves, helping to knead and shape them.

[0025] Furthermore, the wall of the kneading drum 7 is made of flexible materials, such as rubber and silicone. During operation, the walls of the kneading drum 7 are made of flexible materials such as rubber and silicone, which can buffer the squeezing force during the kneading process to a certain extent, preventing excessive damage to the tea leaves, and also helping the tea leaves to tumble better inside the kneading drum.

[0026] Furthermore, the ball bearings 5 ​​in the rotating support module 4 are made of wear-resistant, high-strength materials, such as bearing steel and ceramics. During operation, the ball bearings 5 ​​of the rotating support module 4 are made of wear-resistant and high-strength materials such as bearing steel and ceramics, which can ensure the stable rotation of the kneading drum 6, reduce wear, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0027] Furthermore, the rotation speed of the kneading drum rotary motor 10 is adjustable, and a controller is connected to the kneading drum rotary motor 10. During operation, the speed of the kneading drum rotary motor 10 is adjusted by the controller connected to the kneading drum rotary motor 10 according to the type of tea and kneading requirements, so as to achieve the best kneading effect.

[0028] Furthermore, the kneading drum 6 is equipped with an observation window, which is made of transparent high-strength materials, such as tempered glass or acrylic sheet. During operation, the observation window on the kneading drum 6 allows operators to observe the kneading process of the tea leaves at any time, so as to adjust the equipment operating parameters in a timely manner.

[0029] Working principle: Through the cooperation of the first connecting hinge 1, crank 2, second connecting hinge 3 and rotary support module 4, the kneading drum 6 can perform complex translational motion and also rotate through the transmission of the kneading drum rotary motor 10, pinion 11 and large gear ring 9. The rotation and complex translational motion of the kneading drum 6 change the movement trajectory of the tea leaves in the kneading drum, making it easier for the tea leaves attached to the wall to leave the kneading drum wall 7 and enter the interior, making the circulation of tea leaves in the kneading drum smoother. This solves the problem of obstructed circulation of tea leaves in traditional kneading machines. At the same time, the rotation of the kneading drum 6 can also turn the tea leaves that have sunk due to gravity to the top, further promoting the uniform kneading of tea leaves in the kneading drum and improving the quality and efficiency of tea kneading.

[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed invention.
