Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of tea packaging, and specifically to a tea artificial natural fermentation metering and packaging machine. Background Art
[0002] The production and fermentation technology of Liubao tea is an important factor affecting the quality of tea. Traditional Liubao tea fermentation mostly uses the natural fermentation method, that is, stacking the tea leaves in a humid and shady environment and allowing natural microorganisms to ferment on their own. However, natural fermentation has problems such as a long process cycle and unstable tea quality, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern large-scale production. Therefore, the artificial natural fermentation technology has emerged. This technology realizes the controllability and stability of the Liubao tea fermentation process by simulating the natural fermentation environment and combining modern scientific and technological means.
[0003] The artificial natural fermentation technology is based on microbiology and biochemistry principles. By using metering technology to control the fermentation conditions, optimize the microbial community structure, and promote the transformation and degradation of substances in the tea leaves, the unique quality characteristics of Liubao tea are formed. This technology includes the following aspects: Fermentation condition control: By precisely controlling the fermentation conditions, creating a preservation situation similar to the real natural world, manufacturing the required products through the fermentation activity of specific microorganisms on the tea leaves, and promoting the growth and metabolic process of microorganisms by adding appropriate strains to obtain higher yields and better quality. Cultivation and improvement of microorganisms: By cultivating, screening, and improving microorganisms, fungi, yeast-like organisms, etc. with fermentation functions, constructing a microbial community with excellent fermentation performance, and selecting highly efficient, stable, and adaptable microbial strains can significantly improve the quality and yield of the products.
[0004] In the tea processing and packaging process, the metering and packaging link is crucial, which is directly related to the standardization, hygiene status, and final sales form of the products. The existing artificial natural fermentation tea metering and packaging technology generally adopts the combination of a feeding cylinder and a guiding cylinder, and cooperates with a metering plate for precise weighing to achieve efficient and automatic packaging of tea.
[0005] In the actual application process, due to the natural particle waste residues (such as tea stalk fragments, dust particles, etc.) that may be generated during the fermentation process, there is a lack of an effective filtering mechanism when the tea leaves enter the metering plate and finally flow to the discharge pipe. Once these particle waste residues are packed and sold together with the tea leaves, it will directly affect the purity and quality of the tea.
[0006] Therefore, this application provides a tea artificial natural fermentation metering and packaging machine to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model
[0007] This application provides a tea artificial natural fermentation metering and packaging machine, aiming to solve the problems in the background technology that for the existing tea, due to the natural particle waste residues that may be generated during its fermentation process, there is a lack of an effective filtering mechanism during the process of the tea entering the metering plate and finally flowing into the discharge pipe. Once these particle waste residues are packaged and sold together with the tea, it will directly affect the purity and quality of the tea, etc.
[0008] To achieve the above object, this application provides the following technical solution: A tea artificial natural fermentation metering and packaging machine, including a metering and packaging machine body, a feeding hopper arranged at the upper end of the metering and packaging machine body, a guiding hopper arranged inside the metering and packaging machine body and connected to the feeding hopper, a metering plate hinged at the bottom end of the guiding hopper, a driving member installed at the lower end of the guiding hopper for driving the metering plate to rotate, and a discharge pipe inserted on the metering and packaging machine body corresponding to the lower part of the guiding hopper;
[0009] In order to facilitate the filtration of the tea introduced from the metering plate into the discharge pipe: The metering and packaging machine body is provided with a filtering structure for filtering the tea in the guiding hopper. The filtering structure includes slag filtering holes opened on the metering plate, a slag collection frame arranged inside the metering and packaging machine body, and a slag guiding plate inserted at the top of the slag collection frame and hinged to the bottom end of the metering plate. During the packaging process, the particle waste residues in the tea are light in weight or irregular in shape and are easily penetrated through the slag filtering holes on the metering plate, fall on the slag guiding plate, and finally fall into the slag collection frame for collection. The tea that has been preliminarily filtered remains above the metering plate. After being accurately weighed by the metering plate, the driving member drives the metering plate to rotate, creating a gap between it and the bottom end of the guiding hopper, and the tea then slides along the surface of the metering plate into the discharge pipe and is finally discharged for packaging. The whole process realizes the automatic metering, filtration, and packaging of the tea, greatly improving the production efficiency and product quality.
[0010] Preferably, in order to facilitate the guiding and discharging of the particle waste residues: The slag guiding plate is in the shape of a U-shaped plate. The U-shaped plate-shaped slag guiding plate effectively improves the guiding property of the particle waste residues, enabling the waste residues to quickly and centrally enter the slag collection frame, avoiding the scattered distribution of the waste residues inside the equipment, reducing the cleaning difficulty. Reducing the residue of the waste residues inside the equipment helps to keep the overall cleanliness of the metering and packaging machine, extend the service life of the equipment, and reduce the risk of affecting the tea quality due to waste residue pollution.
[0011] Preferably, for the convenience of centralized collection and treatment of the waste residue in the slag collection box: a collection box is inserted into the slag collection box, and one end of the collection box penetrates through one side of the packaging machine body. The design of the collection box makes the collection of waste residue more centralized and efficient, reduces the residence time of the waste residue inside the equipment, and reduces the risk of potential pollution to the tea quality. The operator can easily draw out the collection box from the outside of the packaging machine to clean and replace the waste residue without entering the inside of the equipment, greatly simplifying the cleaning process and improving work efficiency.
[0012] Preferably, for precise control of the rotation and reset of the metering plate: the driving member is an electric push rod, the electric push rod is hinged to one end of the bottom end of the guide cylinder corresponding to the hinged end of the metering plate, and the output end of the electric push rod is hinged to the end of the metering plate away from its hinged end. The electric push rod as the driving source has the characteristics of fast response, high precision and good stability, which can ensure the accuracy of the metering plate during rotation and reset, thus ensuring the accuracy of tea metering. Through the automatic control of the electric push rod, the whole process of tea metering and packaging is automated, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency.
[0013] Preferably, a spiral guide plate extending to the top of the guide cylinder is fixedly inserted and communicated at the bottom of the feeding cylinder. The design of the spiral guide plate enables the tea to enter the guide cylinder quickly and smoothly along a predetermined track, significantly improving the feeding efficiency and shortening the time of the whole packaging process.
[0014] Preferably, for the convenience of supporting the packaging machine body: support legs are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom end of the packaging machine body, and anti-slip pads are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the support legs. The design of the support legs forms a stable support structure between the packaging machine body and the ground, effectively reducing the shaking and vibration of the equipment during operation, and improving the accuracy and stability of packaging. The addition of the anti-slip pads further enhances the friction between the support legs and the ground, effectively preventing the packaging machine body from sliding or tipping over during operation, and ensuring the personal safety of the operator and the integrity of the equipment.
[0015] Preferably, for the convenience of carrying the packaging machine body: handles are installed on the top of both sides of the packaging machine body. The addition of the handles enables the packaging machine body to be easily lifted and moved when it needs to be carried, greatly improving the portability of the equipment and facilitating the flexible use of the user in different working scenarios. Through the reasonable design of the handles, the operator can complete the handling of the packaging machine alone or in cooperation with others, without the need for additional handling tools, thus saving labor costs.
[0016] Through the effective filtration of the filtration structure, the present application significantly reduces the content of particulate waste residues in tea leaves, improves the purity of tea leaf packaging and the quality of the final product, reduces the suspension of particulate waste residues during tea brewing, makes the tea soup clearer, and enhances the tea-drinking experience of consumers.

SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS
[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0024] This embodiment provides a tea leaf artificial natural fermentation metering and filling machine, as shown in Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, the filling machine includes a filling machine body 1, a feeding hopper 2 arranged at the upper end of the filling machine body 1, a guide hopper 3 arranged inside the filling machine body 1 and connected to the feeding hopper 2, a metering plate 4 hinged at the bottom end of the guide hopper 3, a driving member 5 installed at the lower end of the guide hopper 3 for driving the metering plate 4 to rotate, and a discharge pipe 6 inserted on the filling machine body 1 corresponding to the lower part of the guide hopper 3; during packaging, first, tea leaves are added into the interior of the feeding hopper 2, then the tea leaves enter the interior of the guide hopper 3 along the feeding hopper 2, the tea leaves entering the interior of the guide hopper 3 are metered and weighed by the metering plate 4, and then the driving member 5 drives the metering plate 4 to rotate, so that a gap is generated between the metering plate 4 and the bottom end of the guide hopper 3, and then the tea leaves located inside the guide hopper 3 slide into the interior of the discharge pipe 6 along the surface of the metering plate 4 through the gap, and then are discharged through the discharge pipe 6 for packing.
[0025] In order to facilitate the filtration of the tea leaves introduced from the metering plate 4 into the interior of the discharge pipe 6: the filling machine body 1 is provided with a filtration structure 7 for filtering the tea leaves in the guide hopper 3, and the filtration structure 7 includes slag filtering holes 71 opened on the metering plate 4, a slag collection frame 72 arranged inside the filling machine body 1, and a slag guide plate 73 inserted at the top of the slag collection frame 72 and hinged to the bottom end of the metering plate 4. Through the effective filtration of the filtration structure 7, the content of granular waste residues in the tea leaves is significantly reduced, the purity of the tea leaf filling and the quality of the final product are improved, the suspension of granular waste residues during tea brewing is reduced, the tea soup is made clearer, and the tea drinking experience of consumers is enhanced. During the packaging process, the granular waste residues in the tea leaves are light in weight or irregular in shape, and are easily penetrated through the slag filtering holes 71 on the metering plate 4, fall on the slag guide plate 73, and finally fall into the slag collection frame 72 for collection. The tea leaves that have been preliminarily filtered remain above the metering plate 4. After being accurately weighed by the metering plate 4, the driving member 5 drives the metering plate 4 to rotate, so that a gap is generated between it and the bottom end of the guide hopper 3, and the tea leaves slide along the surface of the metering plate 4 into the discharge pipe 6 and are finally discharged for packing. The whole process realizes the automatic metering, filtration and filling of tea leaves, greatly improving the production efficiency and product quality.
[0026] During filtration, when the tea leaves enter the interior of the guide hopper 3, since the tea leaves fall, the granular slag materials inside the tea leaves will fall onto the metering plate 4, then pass through the slag filtering holes 71 on the metering plate 4 and fall onto the slag guide plate 73, and finally fall into the interior of the slag collection frame 72 for centralized collection. Then the driving member 5 drives the metering plate 4 to rotate, so that a gap is generated between the metering plate 4 and the bottom end of the guide hopper 3, and then the tea leaves located inside the guide hopper 3 slide into the interior of the discharge pipe 6 along the surface of the metering plate 4 through the gap, and then are discharged through the discharge pipe 6 for packing.
[0027] Specifically, to facilitate the guiding and discharging of granular waste residues: the slag guiding plate 73 is in the shape of a U-shaped plate. The U-shaped slag guiding plate 73 effectively improves the guiding property of the granular waste residues, enabling the waste residues to quickly and centrally enter the slag collecting frame 72, avoiding the scattered distribution of the waste residues inside the equipment, reducing the cleaning difficulty. Reducing the residue of the waste residues inside the equipment helps to maintain the overall cleanliness of the filling machine, extend the service life of the equipment, and reduce the risk of affecting the tea quality due to waste residue pollution. During the working process of the tea natural fermentation imitation metering and filling machine, when the tea enters the guiding cylinder 3 from the feeding cylinder 2, the granular waste residues in the tea are prone to penetrate through the slag filtering holes 71 on the metering plate 4 under the action of gravity and vibration. At this time, the U-shaped slag guiding plate 73 uses its groove structure to effectively guide and concentrate the falling granular waste residues, enabling the waste residues to smoothly slide into the slag collecting frame 72. Throughout the process, the design of the U-shaped slag guiding plate 73 significantly improves the discharging efficiency of the waste residues and the cleanliness of the equipment.
[0028] Specifically, to facilitate the centralized collection and treatment of the waste residues in the slag collecting frame 72: a collecting box 721 is inserted into the slag collecting frame 72, and one end of the collecting box 721 penetrates through one side of the filling machine body 1. The design of the collecting box 721 makes the collection of the waste residues more centralized and efficient, reduces the residence time of the waste residues inside the equipment, and reduces the risk of potential pollution to the tea quality. The operator can easily draw out the collecting box 721 from the outside of the filling machine to clean and replace the waste residues without entering the inside of the equipment, greatly simplifying the cleaning process and improving the work efficiency. The detachable design of the collecting box 721 makes the internal structure of the filling machine body 1 more concise, facilitating daily maintenance and prolonging the service life of the equipment. During the operation of the tea natural fermentation imitation metering and filling machine, the granular waste residues fall into the slag guiding plate 73 through the slag filtering holes 71 on the metering plate 4, and then slide into the slag collecting frame 72 under the guiding action of the slag guiding plate 73. At this time, the collecting box 721 has been inserted onto the slag collecting frame 72, and the waste residues directly fall into the collecting box 721. As the filling machine continues to work, the waste residues in the collecting box 721 gradually accumulate. When it is necessary to clean the waste residues, the operator only needs to simply open the opening on the side of the filling machine body 1 and draw out the collecting box 721 from the outside. After being drawn out, the collecting box 721 can be cleaned or replaced, and then inserted back onto the slag collecting frame 72 to continue the next round of waste residue collection work. Throughout the process, the design of the collecting box 721 greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of waste residue collection and treatment.
[0029] Specifically, in order to precisely control the rotation and reset of the metering plate 4: The driving member 5 is an electric push rod, which is hinged to one end of the bottom of the material guiding cylinder 3 corresponding to the hinged end of the metering plate 4, and the output end of the electric push rod is hinged to the end of the metering plate 4 away from its hinged end. As a driving source, the electric push rod has the characteristics of fast response, high precision, and good stability, which can ensure the accuracy of the metering plate 4 during rotation and reset, thus guaranteeing the accuracy of tea metering. Through the automatic control of the electric push rod, the whole process of tea metering and packaging is automated, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency. During the operation of the tea natural fermentation simulation metering and packaging machine, when the tea enters the material guiding cylinder 3 through the feeding cylinder 2 and accumulates on the metering plate 4, the electric push rod is in its initial state. At this time, the metering plate 4 is in close contact with the bottom of the material guiding cylinder 3, preventing the tea from falling. When the tea reaches the preset weight, the control system sends a signal to drive the electric push rod to start working. The output end of the electric push rod gradually contracts, driving the end of the metering plate 4 away from its hinged end to rotate downward, thus forming a gap between the metering plate 4 and the bottom of the material guiding cylinder 3. At this time, the tea accumulated on the metering plate 4 slides along the surface of the metering plate 4 into the discharge pipe 6 for subsequent packing. After the tea is discharged, the electric push rod automatically resets, pushing the metering plate 4 to fit tightly with the bottom of the material guiding cylinder 3 again, preparing for the next round of metering and packaging work. Throughout the process, the precise control of the electric push rod ensures the accuracy of tea metering and the continuity of packaging.
[0030] Specifically, a spiral guiding plate 8 extending to the top of the material guiding cylinder 3 is fixedly inserted and connected to the bottom of the feeding cylinder 2. The design of the spiral guiding plate 8 enables the tea to enter the material guiding cylinder 3 quickly and smoothly along a predetermined trajectory, significantly improving the feeding efficiency and shortening the time of the whole packaging process. During the operation of the tea natural fermentation simulation metering and packaging machine, the tea is first added into the feeding cylinder 2. As the tea is continuously added, it will naturally fall onto the spiral guiding plate 8. Under the guidance of the spiral guiding plate 8, the tea gradually moves downward along the spiral trajectory and finally enters the top of the material guiding cylinder 3. Inside the material guiding cylinder 3, the tea continues to slide along the extension of the spiral guiding plate 8 to above the metering plate 4 for metering. When the tea reaches the preset weight, the electric push rod drives the metering plate 4 to rotate, enabling the tea to slide into the discharge pipe 6 through the gap for packing. Throughout the process, the design of the spiral guiding plate 8 ensures the high efficiency, uniformity, and smoothness of tea feeding.
[0031] Specifically, to facilitate the support of the main body 1 of the filling machine, four corners at the bottom end of the main body 1 of the filling machine are fixedly connected with support legs 11, and anti-slip pads 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the support legs 11. The design of the support legs 11 forms a stable support structure between the main body 1 of the filling machine and the ground, effectively reducing the shaking and vibration of the equipment during operation, and improving the accuracy and stability of filling. The addition of the anti-slip pads 12 further enhances the friction between the support legs 11 and the ground, effectively preventing the main body 1 of the filling machine from sliding or tipping over during operation, ensuring the personal safety of the operator and the integrity of the equipment. The anti-slip pads 12 also have a certain buffering effect, which can reduce the pressure of the main body 1 of the filling machine on the ground and prevent wear or scratches on the ground caused by long-term use. During the use of the tea artificial fermentation metering filling machine, the main body 1 of the filling machine is stably supported on the ground through the four support legs 11 at its bottom end. The design of the support legs 11 keeps the center of gravity of the main body 1 of the filling machine stable, reducing the shaking caused by external forces. At the same time, the anti-slip pads 12 at the bottom ends of the support legs 11 are in close contact with the ground, and through their high friction coefficient characteristics, effectively increase the friction between the equipment and the ground, preventing the equipment from sliding or tipping over during operation. This structural design not only improves the stability and safety of the main body 1 of the filling machine, but also ensures the smooth progress of the tea filling process.
[0032] Specifically, to facilitate the handling of the main body 1 of the filling machine: handles 13 are installed on both top sides of the main body 1 of the filling machine. The addition of the handles 13 enables the main body 1 of the filling machine to be easily lifted and moved when handling is required, greatly improving the portability of the equipment and facilitating the flexible use of the user in different working scenarios. Through the reasonable design of the handles 13, the operator can complete the handling work of the filling machine alone or in cooperation with others, without the need to rely on additional handling tools, thus saving labor costs. During the handling process, the operator can stably control the main body 1 of the filling machine through the handles 13, avoiding damage to the equipment caused by bumps or collisions, and effectively extending the service life of the equipment. When it is necessary to handle the main body 1 of the filling machine, the operator can hold the handles 13 on both top sides with both hands, and then apply appropriate force according to the need to lift the main body 1 of the filling machine from its original position and move it to the target position. During the entire handling process, the handles 13 provide a stable support point and force application point for the operator, making the handling work easy and efficient. At the same time, due to the design of the handles 13 conforming to the ergonomic principle, the operator can maintain a comfortable posture and stable control force during the handling process, thus ensuring the safe handling and smooth movement of the equipment.
