Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tea drink production, and particularly relates to a device for storing and automatically supplying tea drink raw materials. Background Art
[0002] In the current tea drink production industry, although the production volume of tea drinks continues to increase, its production process, especially the tea brewing link, still generally relies on manual operation. This traditional manual production method is not only inefficient, but also difficult to achieve precise standards in terms of tea supply and weight control. Specifically, in the existing tea drink production process, the tea is often put in manually, which not only increases the labor intensity of the operators, but also easily leads to inconsistency in the tea input amount, thus affecting the taste and quality stability of the tea drink. First of all, it is difficult to precisely control the weight of the tea in each batch when putting the tea in manually. The input amount of the tea directly affects the concentration and flavor of the tea drink, and manual operation often has a large error, resulting in differences in the taste of products in different batches and making it difficult to meet the requirements of consumers for quality consistency; secondly, the manual tea brewing process is inefficient and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production. In a fast-paced market environment, tea drink production enterprises need to quickly respond to market demands, and the manual tea brewing method obviously cannot meet this requirement. In addition, manual operation is also easily affected by human factors, such as the proficiency and fatigue of the operators, further increasing the uncertainty and risks in the production process.
[0003] The existing manual tea brewing method in tea drink production has problems such as low efficiency and difficulty in precisely controlling the weight of the tea, which restricts the development of the tea drink industry. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a tea brewing device and its method that can automatically supply tea and precisely control the weight of the tea for improving the efficiency and quality stability of tea drink production.

At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle", etc. cited in this specification are only for the convenience of description and are not used to limit the scope of implementation of the present utility model. The change or adjustment of their relative relationships, without substantial change in the technical content, should also be regarded as the scope that the present utility model can implement.
[0044] See Figures 1 to 6 , the present utility model provides a tea drink raw material storage and automatic supply device, including a storage tank 1, a conveying mechanism 2 and a control mechanism (not shown in the drawings). The storage tank 1 is used for storing tea drink raw materials and is provided with a tank outlet for the tea drink raw materials to go out. Among them, the tea drink raw materials can be various kinds of tea leaves, chrysanthemum tea and other raw materials for making tea drinks. The conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying seat 21, a spiral conveying rod 22 and a driving assembly. A conveying channel 211 is provided in the conveying seat 21. The conveying channel 211 is provided with a feeding port 212 communicating with the tank outlet of the storage tank 1, and the feeding port 212 is preferably arranged at the top position of the conveying channel 211. A discharging port 213 is provided at the bottom of the conveying channel 211. The conveying seat 21 is also provided with a blanking port 214 communicating with the discharging port 213. The spiral conveying rod 22 is arranged in the conveying channel 211. The spiral conveying rod 22 is provided with spiral conveying blades 221. The distance between the feeding port 212 and the discharging port 213 in the length direction of the spiral conveying rod 22 is at least greater than one pitch of the conveying blades 221. The driving assembly is connected to the spiral conveying rod 22 and can drive the spiral conveying rod 22 to rotate. The control mechanism is connected to the driving assembly for control.
[0045] The main working principle of the tea drink raw material storage and automatic supply device involved in the present utility model is as follows: The tea drink raw materials are stored in the storage tank 1 and enter the conveying channel 211 through the tank outlet and the feeding port 212, and then enter the spiral conveying blades 221. Since the distance between the feeding port 212 and the discharging port 213 in the length direction of the spiral conveying rod 22 is at least greater than one pitch of the conveying blades 221, the tea drink raw materials entering from the feeding port 212 will not directly go out from the discharging port 213 at the bottom of the conveying channel 211. The driving assembly drives the spiral conveying rod 22 to rotate, and the conveying blades 221 will drive the tea drink raw materials to move towards the discharging port 213, and fall out of the discharging port 213 to leave the conveying channel 211, and finally go out from the blanking port 214. In this application, the space formed axially when the conveying blades 221 rotate one week is recorded as a pitch space. The pitch and outer diameter of the conveying blades 221 are set according to the actual situation of the tea drink raw materials. The tea drink raw materials in one pitch space can basically remain stable during the rotation of the spiral conveying rod 22. Therefore, when the spiral conveying rod 22 rotates a certain angle, a corresponding amount of tea drink raw materials can be output, and this corresponding relationship can be preset in the control mechanism. When a specific amount (generally allowing a certain error, which is a range value) needs to be output, the control mechanism automatically controls the driving assembly to act according to the quantity to control the spiral conveying rod 22 to rotate a corresponding angle, so as to output the required quantity of tea drink raw materials. The tea drink raw material storage and automatic supply device of the present utility model can automatically provide tea drink raw materials according to needs, control the output amount of tea drink raw materials, stabilize the quality of tea drinks, and improve work efficiency.
[0046] See Figures 1 to 6 , the following further illustrates the present utility model with a specific embodiment:
[0047] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , as a preferred design, it further includes a weighing mechanism 3. The weighing mechanism 3 includes a container 31 and an electronic weighing module 32 for weighing the container 31. The weighing mechanism 3 is fixedly arranged below the blanking port 214 or can be moved to below the blanking port 214, and the container 31 can receive the tea drink raw materials falling from the blanking port 214. The electronic weighing module 32 is communicatively connected with the control mechanism. When the spiral conveying rod 22 rotates to convey the tea drink raw materials and fall into the container 31, it is weighed by the electronic weighing module 32, and the weight signal is transmitted to the control mechanism. When the weighed tea drink raw materials reach the required weight, the control mechanism automatically stops driving the driving assembly. And, it can also be set that when the weight measured by the electronic weighing module 32 is close to the required weight, the control mechanism controls the driving assembly to gradually decelerate and gradually reduce the rotation speed of the spiral conveying rod 22, so as to ensure that the spiral conveying rod 22 stops in time when the required weight is reached, and avoid excessive output of tea drink raw materials.
[0048] In this embodiment, seeFigure 2 and Figure 3 As a preferred design, both the screw conveyor rod 22 and the conveying channel 211 in the conveying mechanism 2 are horizontally arranged. Of course, they can also be slightly inclined. The discharge port 213 is arranged at the bottom of the conveying channel 211 near the front end, and the feed port 212 is arranged at the top of the conveying channel 211 near the rear end. In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the conveying channel 211 is semi-cylindrical, that is, the conveying channel 211 has a semi-cylindrical lower cavity. The screw conveyor rod 22 is coaxially arranged with the lower cavity, so that the gap between the conveying blades 221 and the inner wall surface of the lower cavity is uniform, realizing a clearance fit. Preferably, the difference between the radius R of the lower cavity and the radius r of the conveying blade is 1-4 mm, that is, the gap between the conveying blades 221 and the inner wall surface of the lower cavity is 1-4 mm, which can prevent the tea drink raw materials from entering the gap and ensure the stable output of the tea drink raw materials. The discharge port 213 is located on the inner wall surface of the lower cavity.
[0049] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As a preferred design, the driving component of the conveying mechanism 2 includes a motor 23. The motor 23 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the conveying seat 21 through a fixing bracket 25, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to the rear end of the screw conveyor rod 22 through a coupling 24. The motor 23 can be selected as a motor 23 with high-precision motion control performance. By driving the screw conveyor rod 22 with the motor 23, the rotation angle of the screw conveyor rod 22 can be accurately controlled.
[0050] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 6 As a preferred design, a blanking funnel 215 is provided at the bottom of the conveying seat 21. The upper port of the blanking funnel 215 is connected to the discharge port 213, and the lower port forms a blanking opening 214. The blanking funnel 215 can better make the tea drink raw materials fall into the container 31. In other embodiments, the blanking funnel 215 can also be replaced by a tubular structure, or the blanking funnel 215 can be not provided, and the discharge port 213 directly penetrates the bottom wall of the conveying channel to form the blanking opening 214.
[0051] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1, as a preferred design, the bottom of the storage tank 1 has a funnel-shaped blanking section 11. The inner cavity of the funnel-shaped blanking section 11 is also funnel-shaped. The tank outlet is arranged at the bottom of the funnel-shaped blanking section 11. The funnel-shaped blanking section 11 plays a certain collecting role. When the tank outlet is in an open state, the stability of the quantity of the tea drink raw materials in the storage tank 1 falling through the tank outlet under gravity and entering the conveying channel 211 is good. Thus, the tea drink raw materials entering the pitch space of a conveying blade 221 during the output process are also stable within a certain range, ensuring the improvement of the output accuracy. Further, a receiving funnel 216 is provided on the upper side of the conveying seat 21. The lower end of the receiving funnel 216 is connected to the feed inlet 212. The funnel-shaped blanking section 11 is installed in the receiving funnel 216 and maintains a good fitting state, thus facilitating the assembly and disassembly between the storage tank 1 and the output mechanism.
[0052] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , as a preferred design, the storage tank 1 is provided with a visualization window 12. The visualization window 12 is made of a transparent material and extends along the height direction of the storage tank 1, facilitating the observation of the tea drink raw materials in the storage tank 1 and timely replenishment.
[0053] In the present utility model, the control mechanism can adopt an existing structure. Specifically, a PLC controller can be adopted and is configured with corresponding electrical components. The control mechanism has functions such as data storage, calculation and analysis, and instruction sending, and can control the device to automatically perform the output work.
[0054] As can be seen from the above, the tea drink raw material storage and automatic supply device of the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0055] It can store and automatically output the corresponding quantity of tea drink raw materials as needed, output the tea drink raw materials through a spiral conveying rod, and timely control the output action in combination with the weighing signal, accurately control the output quantity of the tea drink raw materials, stabilize the quality of the tea drink, avoid the instability of manual operation, and can reduce the manual labor load and improve the work efficiency.
[0056] In summary, the present utility model effectively overcomes various shortcomings in the prior art and has high industrial utilization value.
[0057] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present utility model, rather than limiting the present utility model. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical idea disclosed by the present utility model should still be covered by the claims of the present utility model.
