Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of screening devices, and specifically relates to a screening device for tea. Background Technique
[0002] A screening device for tea is a device that uses vibration, wind power or mechanical structures to classify and purify tea; its working principle usually involves separating tea by particle size through a vibrating screen mesh, or separating impurities of different weights from tea by means of wind power, and can also complete multi-stage screening through a combination of multiple screen meshes; this device is widely used in the tea processing industrial chain, covering impurity removal in the primary processing link (such as removing tea stalks and broken pieces), grade sorting in the refining stage (such as distinguishing bud leaves, one bud with one leaf, etc.), and quality inspection before packaging (removing discolored and damaged leaves); its advantages lie in improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and at the same time ensuring the standardization and consistency of tea quality, and is suitable for large-scale processing scenarios of various tea products such as green tea, black tea, and oolong tea;
[0003] The feeding port position of the existing tea screening device is fixed, resulting in the tea being concentrated and piled up at a local position of the screen mesh when entering from the feeding port, which is likely to cause blockage of the local position of the screen mesh, and it is not easy to evenly distribute the tea, thus reducing the screening efficiency. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the defects of the existing technology, the utility model provides a screening device for tea, which effectively solves the problem that the feeding port position of the existing tea screening device is fixed, resulting in the tea being concentrated and piled up at a local position of the screen mesh when entering from the feeding port, which is likely to cause blockage of the local position of the screen mesh, and it is not easy to evenly distribute the tea.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present utility model provides the following technical solution: A screening device for tea leaves, comprising a device main body. In the middle of the interior of the device main body, three material distribution plates are fixedly installed. Below the interior of the device main body, there is a sieve plate. Below the sieve plate, there is a vibration mechanism. Above the device main body, there is a hopper. At the bottom of the hopper, a material pipe is fixedly installed. At the lower end of the material pipe, a blanking valve is fixedly installed. At the bottom of the material pipe, a protective cover is fixedly installed. On one side of the device main body, a support frame is fixedly installed. At the lower part of one side of the support frame, a servo motor is fixedly installed. Inside the material pipe, there is an auger. At the output end of the servo motor, there is a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly is connected to the auger and the hopper in a transmission manner. When the servo motor operates, it outputs power to the auger and the hopper through the transmission assembly, causing the auger to rotate and discharge materials, and causing the hopper to drive the blanking valve to reciprocate horizontally through the material pipe. The transmission assembly includes a lower sprocket, which is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor. Above the lower sprocket, there is an upper sprocket. A chain is meshed and connected between the upper sprocket and the lower sprocket. One side of the upper sprocket is rotatably connected to the upper part of one side of the support frame. On the other side of the upper sprocket, a rotating bar is fixedly installed. At the upper end of one side of the rotating bar, a pin is rotatably installed. The surface of the pin is sleeved with a hollow bar. The upper end of the hollow bar is fixedly connected to the hopper. At the top of the hollow bar, a sliding sleeve is fixedly installed. In the middle of the sliding sleeve, a sliding rod is inserted. Both ends of the sliding rod are fixedly connected to the rear part of the device main body through support arms. One side of the lower sprocket is connected to a shaft rod through a universal joint. The surface of the shaft rod is rotatably connected to the surface of the protective cover through a shaft sleeve. The end of the shaft rod away from the universal joint extends into the interior of the protective cover and is fixedly installed with a driving bevel gear. The upper part of the surface of the driving bevel gear is meshed and connected with a driven bevel gear. The bottom of the driven bevel gear is rotatably connected to the inner bottom of the protective cover. The top of the driven bevel gear is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the auger. The lower end of the surface of the auger is rotatably connected to the lower part of the material pipe through a rotating sleeve.
[0006] Preferably, the vibration mechanism includes four springs, which are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the sieve plate. The bottoms of the four springs are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the device main body through fixed seats. On both sides of the bottom of the sieve plate, vibration motors are fixedly installed. At both ends of the sieve plate, sliders are fixedly installed. On both inner walls of the device main body, chute grooves are opened. The two sliders are slidably installed inside the two chute grooves.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: When in use, the operator puts the tea leaves into the interior of the hopper, and then starts the servo motor to drive the lower sprocket to rotate. When the lower sprocket rotates, it drives the upper sprocket to rotate through the chain. When the upper sprocket rotates, it drives the pin to rotate in the hollow bar through the rotating bar. When the pin rotates, it can convert the rotational motion into a linear reciprocating motion through the hollow bar, so that the hollow bar drives the hopper to reciprocate horizontally. When the hollow bar moves, it drives the sliding sleeve to slide along the surface of the sliding rod, increasing the stability of the hopper during movement. During the horizontal reciprocating movement of the hopper, it will drive the blanking valve to reciprocate horizontally through the material pipe;
[0008] While the lower sprocket rotates, it will drive the shaft rod to rotate inside the bushing through the universal joint, and the universal joint will continuously output power to the shaft rod as the material pipe moves. When the shaft rod rotates, it drives the driven bevel gear to rotate through the driving bevel gear. When the driven bevel gear rotates, it drives the auger to rotate inside the rotating sleeve. When the auger rotates, it discharges the tea in the hopper through the blanking valve to prevent the material pipe from being blocked. During the reciprocating movement of the blanking valve, the tea will be placed on the three distribution plates along the three distribution plates, and the tea will be evenly dropped on the sieve plate through the three distribution plates. At the same time, two vibration motors are started to make the sieve plate vibrate up and down by squeezing or stretching four springs. When the sieve plate vibrates up and down, it will drive two sliders to slide inside two chutes to ensure the stability of the sieve plate during vibration and enable the sieve plate to effectively screen the tea. This makes the tea screening device evenly sprinkle the tea on the sieve mesh, effectively spread the tea evenly, avoid clogging of local positions of the sieve mesh, and improve the screening efficiency.
