Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the fields of mechanical engineering and agricultural engineering, in particular to a tea flattening and shaping device for tea processing. Background Art

[0002] In order to improve the storage and transportation efficiency of tea, fluffy tea leaves need to be shaped, such as compressed into fixed shapes such as tea bricks. This can reduce the volume of tea leaves during transportation, reduce transportation costs, and also facilitate packaging and storage. Different types of tea may require different shapes during processing to meet the needs of the market and consumers. The tea flattening device can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the tea and processing requirements to obtain the desired tea shape and appearance, thereby maintaining product consistency and standardization. The traditional tea flattening process may require more manual operation, while the new pneumatic flattening device realizes automatic loading and unloading through automation technology, which not only improves processing efficiency, but also reduces the difficulty and safety hazards of manual operation. Tea contains a variety of ingredients that are beneficial to health, such as catechins, caffeine, etc. When designing the flattening shaping device, it is necessary to consider how to retain these beneficial ingredients to the maximum extent while maintaining the shape of the tea leaves.

[0003] Most of the tea flattening and shaping devices currently available for tea processing have the problem that during the rolling process of tea leaves, the tea leaves stick to the roller and are not easy to fall off. After some flattening and shaping processes are completed, the tea leaves may stick to each other and are not easy to fall off, which affects the subsequent processing flow. Secondly, most of the tea flattening and shaping devices currently available for tea processing have the problem that the tea juice produced after pressing is difficult to clean and the tea leaves cannot be cooled and shaped in time. During the flattening process, the tea juice released by the tea leaves is not easy to clean, which may cause hygiene problems and quality degradation of the product. Secondly, if the flattened tea leaves cannot be cooled and shaped in time, the plastic regeneration phenomenon may occur, affecting the flattening effect. Utility Model Content

[0029] In order to further understand the content of the utility model, the utility model is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-3The utility model provides an embodiment: a tea flattening and shaping device for tea processing, comprising a small shell 1 and a large shell 11, the inner wall of the small shell 1 is fixedly connected to a motor 3, the driving end of the motor 3 is fixedly connected to a main rod 4, the outer wall of the main rod 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the small shell 1, the end of the main rod 4 is fixedly connected to a gear 5, the outer wall of the gear 5 is meshingly connected to a rack 6, the outer wall of the rack 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the large shell 11, the outer wall of the rack 6 is fixedly connected to a fixed rod 7, the outer wall of the fixed rod 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the large shell 11, the outer wall of the fixed rod 7 is fixedly connected to a tea scraper 8, the outer wall of the fixed rod 7 is rotatably connected to a roller 9, and the distance between the scraper at the bottom end of the tea scraper 8 and the outer wall of the roller 9 is just enough to block the passage of tea leaves.

[0031] Specifically, first put the tea leaves into the large shell 11, then start the motor 3, the driving end of the motor 3 rotates to drive the main rod 4 to rotate, the main rod 4 rotates to drive the gear 5 to rotate, thereby driving the rack 6 to slide on the inner wall of the large shell 11, thereby driving the fixed rod 7 and the tea scraper 8 to move, thereby driving the roller 9 to roll on the surface of the filter 10 to crush the tea leaves. This part of the structure mainly introduces the process of flattening the tea leaves. The tea scraper 8 fixed on the fixed rod 7 will scrape off the tea leaves adhering to the surface of the roller 9, so as to avoid affecting the later tea processing.

[0032] A filter screen 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the large outer shell 11, a connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rack 6, a soft brush 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 15, the outer wall of the soft brush 16 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the large outer shell 11, the outer wall of the soft brush 16 fits on the outer wall of the filter screen 10, a ventilation plate 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ventilation plate 14, a fan 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ventilation plate 14, a large bracket 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the large outer shell 11, a collector 13 is slidably connected to the bottom end of the large outer shell 11, and a small bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the small outer shell 1.
