Detailed implementation mode

[0023] The present utility model will be further described in detail below:

[0024] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the present utility model provides an auxiliary mechanism for evenly spreading tea leaves, including a chassis 1 and a placement frame 3. A clamping groove 2 with openings on both sides is formed at the top of the chassis 1. Guiding components 4 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the chassis 1. A paving component 5 located above the placement frame 3 is movably installed at the top of the guiding component 4. A support component 7 and a converging component 6 located below the support component 7 are movably installed inside the chassis 1;

[0025] The guiding component 4 includes a guiding frame 41. A rack 42 is fixedly connected inside the guiding frame 41. A limiting groove 43 with an opening at the top is formed inside the guiding frame 41. The paving component 5 includes a feeding hopper 51. Support frames 52 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the feeding hopper 51. A support cross bar 53 clamped in the limiting groove 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 52. A driving gear 54 and a driven gear 55 are rotatably installed inside the support frame 52. A rotating shaft 56 penetrating inside the feeding hopper 51 is fixedly connected to the inside of the driven gear 55. Dispersing blades 57 are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 56.

[0026] By adding tea leaves into the feeding hopper 51 and driving the feeding hopper 51 to move along the upper direction of the placement frame 3 to the other end by sliding the supporting cross bar 53 along the limiting groove 43, and cooperating with the driven gear 55 to drive the rotating shaft 56 and the dispersing blades 57 to rotate, the tea leaves are evenly laid through the bottom of the feeding hopper 51 adapted to the width of the placement frame 3 and leveled by the raking rod 59. Thus, it is not necessary for manual labor to first distribute the tea leaves on the placement frame 3 and then level them, and a one-time operation is carried out for the initial even spreading of the tea leaves, which fully improves the efficiency during the even spreading and drying of the tea leaves.

[0027] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the converging assembly 6 includes a clamping strip 61 fixedly connected to the inner side of the chassis 1. The top of the clamping strip 61 is movably clamped with a converging cover 62 located below the inner side of the chassis 1. An outlet 63 is provided at the bottom of the converging cover 62.

[0028] The supporting assembly 7 includes a rotating rod 71 and a rubber roller 72. The rotating rod 71 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the chassis 1. The rotating rod 71 is arranged below the card slot 2, and the rubber rollers 72 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the rotating rod 71.

[0029] Through the setting of the converging assembly 6 in cooperation with the setting of the supporting assembly 7, the placement frame 3 is arranged above the rubber roller 72 to provide support for it. After the tea leaves are laid, the placement frame 3 can be pushed and pulled to shake off the residues, which fall through the placement frame 3 into the converging cover 62 and roll towards the outlet 63 for rapid collection, facilitating the treatment of the residues in the tea leaves.

[0030] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, both the upper and lower sides of the feeding hopper 51 are open.

[0031] The bottom of the feeding hopper 51 is arranged in a rectangle adapted to the placement frame 3, and the dispersing blades 57 are arranged at the inner bottom of the feeding hopper 51.

[0032] By both the upper and lower sides of the feeding hopper 51 being open, the tea leaves added from above the feeding hopper 51 are shaken off and evenly spread on the placement frame 3 through the rectangular opening adapted to the width of the placement frame 3 arranged below the feeding hopper 51. Thus, a one-time operation is carried out for the initial even spreading of the tea leaves, which fully improves the efficiency during the even spreading and drying of the tea leaves.

[0033] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the driven gear 55 is arranged above the driving gear 54, and the driving gear 54 meshes with the rack 42 and the driven gear 55 respectively.

[0034] By engaging the driving gear 54 with the rack 42 and the driven gear 55 respectively, when moving, the driving gear 54 rotates along the rack 42 to drive the driven gear 55 to rotate. The rotation of the driven gear 55 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 56, so that the dispersing blades 57 rotate to discharge the tea leaves reaching below the input hopper 51 and lay them on the placing frame 3, facilitating the operation.

[0035] As Figure 3 shown, connecting frames 58 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the input hopper 51, and a rake rod 59 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 58.

[0036] Through the arrangement of the rake rod 59, when the input hopper 51 moves, the laid tea leaves are stirred and spread out to ensure uniformity.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, the placing frame 3 is movably clamped inside the clamping groove 2, and the placing frame 3 is located above the rubber roller 72.

[0038] By arranging the placing frame 3 to be clamped in the clamping groove 2 and located above the rubber roller 72, by pushing and pulling the placing frame 3, it can slide along above the rubber roller 72 to shake off the residues, facilitating collection, reducing the residue of residues in the tea leaves, and improving the cleanliness of the tea leaves.

[0039] Next, specifically describe the working principle of the tea leaf uniform spreading auxiliary mechanism.

[0040] As Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, by clamping the placement frame 3 with an internal screen laying device inside the clamping groove 2, supporting it by the rubber roller 72 contacting the frame part of the placement frame 3, moving the spreading component 5 to one end of the guiding frame 41, and providing stable support by clamping the supporting cross bar 53 inside the limiting groove 43. Subsequently, by putting the tea leaves through the opening above the input hopper 51, the tea leaves are gathered in the input hopper 51 due to their weight and accumulate at the rectangular bottom, and are blocked by the dispersing blades 57. Then, by pulling the input hopper 51 to move towards the other end of the guiding frame 41, since the driving gear 54 under the inner side of the support frame 52 meshes above the rack 42, when the support frame 52 moves, it drives the driving gear 54 to rotate. Through the meshing of the driving gear 54 and the driven gear 55, the driven gear 55 is driven to rotate. The rotating shaft 56 located below the inside of the input hopper 51 is connected to the driven gear 55. When the driven gear 55 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 56 to rotate. The rotating shaft 56 drives the dispersing blades 57 located inside the input hopper 51 to rotate, so that the tea leaves in the input hopper 51 are laid on the screen laid inside the placement frame 3 as the input hopper 51 moves along the placement frame 3, and the tea leaves are evenly spread by the rake rod 59. There is no need for manual distribution and flattening of the tea leaves first, which improves the efficiency of tea leaf spreading. When the tea leaves are spread well, by reciprocatingly pushing and pulling the placement frame 3 along the side of the clamping groove 2, the rubber roller 72 is driven to rotate by the placement frame 3 located above the rubber roller 72, so that the tea leaves on the screen inside the placement frame 3 shake slightly, and the residues in the tea leaves pass through the placement frame 3 and fall into the converging cover 62. They slide through the contracted outlet 63 at the bottom of the converging cover 62 for centralized collection, and then the placement frame 3 is taken out for drying.

[0041] The above has generally described the present utility model in detail, but based on the present utility model, some modifications or improvements can be made, which are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, the modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit and idea of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
