Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tea picking equipment, in particular to a air supply mechanism of a tea picking machine. Background Art

[0002] The planting and processing of tea have a long history in China. The tea picking technology is an important link in the tea tree cultivation technology. Traditionally, manual tea picking is basically adopted, with relatively low efficiency and high labor costs. In order to improve the picking efficiency and reduce the cost at the same time, the tea picking machine came into being. The tea picking machine is a crop harvesting machine that harvests new and tender tea leaves from the top of the tea tree. The tea picking machine usually consists of a power part, an air supply part, a leaf cutting part and a tea collection part. The leaf cutting part is driven by the power part to pick the tea leaves, and the picked tea leaves are blown into the tea collection part through the air supply mechanism. At present, the basic component of the air supply mechanism of the common tea picking machines on the market is usually a fan, and the fan is basically fixedly installed on the machine, resulting in a fixed air supply angle. During the process of tea picking and collection, the blowing angle will affect the collection effect of the tea leaves. An improper air supply angle will cause the cut tea leaves to be blown outside the collection part, resulting in waste. Summary of the Invention

A plurality of locking posts 9 with internal thread locking holes 91 that cooperate with the threaded connecting rod portion 82 are provided on the first installation wall 101. One locking post 9 corresponds to the changing position of one locking installation hole 511. The air supply angle of the air supply port 32 is locked by screwing the threaded connecting rod portion 82 through the locking installation hole 511 and screwing it into the corresponding locking post 9. The above-mentioned locking device has a simple structure. The centers of the plurality of locking posts 9 are located on the circumference of a concentric circle. The positions of the plurality of locking posts 9 are designed and arranged according to the common air supply angles used in specific air supply applications. According to specific usage, they are usually set at the 30° position, 15° position, 0° position, and -15° positions. The operations of locking and unlocking are both relatively convenient, with low cost and stable locking.

[0030] In this specific embodiment, a rotation angle marking area 1011 is provided on the first installation wall 101, and an indicating arrow 512 is provided on the connecting wall surface 51 in the direction towards the rotation angle marking area 1011. This facilitates the operator to accurately adjust the air supply angle according to the specific usage situation.

[0031] In this specific embodiment, a first rotating shaft 6 protrudes rightward on the connecting wall surface 51, and a first rotating connection hole 1012 for the first rotating shaft 6 to rotatably extend into and be installed is correspondingly provided on the first installation wall 101. The first rotating shaft 6 extends into and is arranged in the first rotating connection hole 1012 and can rotate within the first rotating connection hole 1012.

[0035] In this specific embodiment, the fan body 2 is driven by a driving motor 20, and the driving motor 20 is arranged in the connection cover 5. The connection cover 5 also plays a role in protecting the driving motor.

[0036] In this specific embodiment, a recessed opening 1013 is recessed on the first mounting wall 101, and the corresponding position of the fan body 2 is embedded in the recessed opening 1013. This makes the overall structure relatively neat and compact without any particularly prominent parts.

[0037] When it is necessary to adjust the air supply angle of the fan, first remove the threaded connecting rod portion 82 of the locking knob 8 from one of the locking posts 9. At this time, the locking is released. Rotate the air duct 3. After the air supply angle is adjusted in place, screw the threaded connecting rod portion 82 of the locking knob 8 back into the corresponding locking post 9 to re-lock the position.

[0038] The air supply angles of the air duct 3 corresponding to each locking position are different, and different air supply angles are designed for different varieties of tea. Generally, it is divided into four blowing angles (30° position, 15° position, 0° position, and -15° position). When picking tender tea, the angle of the air duct 3 is adjusted to be smaller so that the tender tea will not be blown away. When picking older coarse tea, the air duct 3 is adjusted to be straight, and the tea can be directly blown into the tea collection bag completely.

[0039] The fan 2 adopts a powerful vortex impeller system. Through the diversion of a single air duct 3 to form a multi-channel design, the vortex impeller system can adjust the air volume through electric control, enabling precise air control. Different air volumes can be selected for different varieties of tea, thereby reducing the situation that tea cannot be blown into the collection bag or is blown outside during the picking process, effectively reducing tea waste.
