Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of matcha production equipment, in particular to a chopping device used for matcha production. Background Art

[0002] Matcha, also known as powdered tea, is made by collecting tender tea leaves in spring, withering them with steam, and then making them into cakes or balls for preservation. When it is time to eat, the cakes are first baked and dried over a fire, then ground into powder with a natural stone mill, poured into a tea bowl and poured with boiling water. The tea in the bowl is fully stirred with a tea whisk to create foam, and then it is ready to drink. The freshly picked tea leaves are withered and dried on the same day using the steam withering method. Studies have shown that during the steaming process, the precursors of the aroma components are carotenoids, which constitute the special aroma and taste of Matcha. Therefore, the covered green tea that is cultivated and steam-withered not only has a special aroma and emerald green color, but also tastes more delicious.

[0003] The raw material of matcha is tea leaves. Before producing matcha, the tea leaves need to be chopped. At present, most tea chopping devices chop the tea leaves through cutting blades. However, after the tea leaves are chopped, the rotation speed of the cutting blades is high, which will cause the tea leaves to adhere to the inner wall of the box. People need to spend extra time to clean it, which makes the cleaning work more difficult. Utility Model Content

[0006] Preferably, the mounting bracket is horizontally arranged between the bases, and the distance between the mounting bracket and the box body is equal to the height of the frame; this facilitates the bottom end of the frame to fit against the mounting bracket.

[0007] Preferably, the cross-section of the frame is in the shape of a "mouth", and absorbent cloths are installed on the sides of the cleaning plate, and the sides of the cleaning plate correspond to the inner walls of the frame; this facilitates drying the moisture on the inner walls of the frame.

[0008] Preferably, threads are machined on the electric slide rails, and threaded holes are machined on the sliders; this facilitates the electric slide rails to drive the sliders to move up and down.

[0009] Preferably, the discharge port is in contact with one side of the frame; the discharge of tea is controlled by the frame.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: By arranging a frame inside the box body, tea fragments splashing towards the inner wall of the box body can be attached to the inner wall of the frame. The electric slide rail and the slider cooperate with each other, enabling the frame to slide down towards the bottom of the box body, thereby scraping off the tea, saving the cleaning workload of people, enabling the tea attached to the inner wall of the frame to be discharged together with other tea, reducing tea waste, and the cylinder on the mounting bracket can drive the cleaning plate to move upward to clean the inner wall of the frame, thereby reducing the cleaning difficulty inside the box body.

[0019] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a chopping device for matcha production, comprising a base 1; a box body 2 is installed on the base 1, a mounting bracket 4 is arranged on the side of the base 1 away from the box body 2, a cylinder 5 is installed on the mounting bracket 4, a hydraulic rod 7 is connected to the side of the cylinder 5 close to the box body 2, a cleaning plate 8 is connected to the end of the hydraulic rod 7 away from the cylinder 5, a motor 3 is installed on the side of the box body 2 away from the base 1, a rotating shaft 9 is connected to the side of the motor 3 close to the box body 2, and the rotating shaft 9 extends to the inside of the box body 2, the A number of cutting blades 10 are arranged on the rotating shaft 9; slide grooves 12 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the box body 2, and electric slide rails 14 are installed in the slide grooves 12. Slide blocks 13 are connected to the electric slide rails 14, and frames 11 are connected between the slide blocks 13. The slide blocks 13 are arranged on both sides of one end of the frame 11 close to the motor 3, and one end of the frame 11 close to the cleaning plate 8 passes through the box body 2, and the cleaning plate 8 corresponds to the frame 11. The side of the frame 11 away from the rotating shaft 9 is in contact with the inner wall of the box body 2, and a discharge port 6 is arranged on one side of the box body 2.

[0020] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 4 is transversely arranged between the bases 1 , and the distance between the mounting bracket 4 and the box body 2 is equal to the height of the frame 11 , so that the bottom end of the frame 11 is conveniently fitted with the mounting bracket 4 .

[0021] Furthermore, the cross section of the frame 11 is in the shape of a "mouth", and absorbent cloths are installed on the sides of the cleaning plate 8, and the sides of the cleaning plate 8 correspond to the inner walls of the frame 11, so as to facilitate wiping off the moisture on the inner walls of the frame 11.

[0022] Furthermore, the electric slide rails 14 are processed with threads, and the sliders 13 are processed with threaded holes, so that the electric slide rails 14 can drive the sliders 13 to move up and down.

[0023] Furthermore, the discharge port 6 is fitted with one side of the frame 11 ; the discharge of tea leaves is controlled by the frame 11 .

[0024] Working principle: In actual use of the utility model, the motor 3 installed on the top surface of the box body 2 is started, so that the rotating shaft 9 drives the cutting blade 10 to rotate, so that the tea leaves are chopped inside the box body 2. During the chopping process, the tea leaves will splash onto the inner wall of the frame 11, and part of the tea leaves will adhere to the inner wall of the frame 11, while part of the tea leaves will accumulate in the box body 2. After the tea leaves are chopped, the motor 3 is turned off to stop the rotation of the cutting blade 10, and then the electric slide rail 14 is controlled to drive the slider 13 to move downward in the slide groove 12, and at the same time drive the frame 11 to descend in the direction of the mounting bracket 4. During the descent of the frame 11, the tea leaves attached to the inner wall of the frame 11 will be scraped off by the box body 2 as the frame 11 descends, and discharged through the discharge port 6. When the frame 11 is completely moved out of the box body 2, the cylinder 5 is started to make the hydraulic rod 7 push the cleaning plate 8 to move upward, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the frame 11, which is convenient for reducing people's cleaning pressure.

[0025] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a main control button.
