Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tea processing equipment, in particular to an automatic tea strip straightening machine unit. Background Art
[0002] Tea processing, also known as "tea making," is the process of transforming fresh tea leaves through various steps into various semi-finished or finished teas. The frying of flat green tea requires excellent color, aroma, flavor, and shape (flat, flat, straight, and glossy), with a rich interior and a refined exterior. Straightening is a key step in shaping flat green tea. Straightening can shape the tea leaves, remove water, enhance the tea leaves' fineness, and enhance their aroma, ultimately achieving the desired shape, color, and aroma. This process is widely used in the production of various premium flat green teas.
[0003] At present, the industrialized tea stripping process generally uses manually controlled semi-mechanized tea stripping equipment, and the loading and unloading of tea leaves are all manually assisted. In order to increase production capacity, a company often has a considerable number of tea stripping equipment, which requires a large amount of manpower and equipment assistance. The work intensity is high but the work efficiency is low, resulting in high personnel costs and does not meet the production needs of the company. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the above-mentioned existing devices and provide an automatic tea strip sorting machine unit, which can automatically load and unload materials for multiple tea strip sorting machines during the tea strip sorting process, greatly reducing manpower and labor intensity, realizing continuous cycle processing of tea, improving processing efficiency, and meeting the production needs of enterprises.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present utility model is as follows:
[0006] An automated tea stripping machine unit for tea stripping comprises an elevating conveyor, a traveling conveyor, and a number of tea stripping machines. The elevating conveyor comprises an elevating conveyor body and an elevating conveying drive assembly thereon. The bottom of the elevating conveyor body serves as a feed end, and the top serves as a discharge end. The traveling conveyor comprises a conveying support, a conveying track on the conveying support, a trolley conveying drive assembly, and a conveying trolley on the conveying track. The trolley comprises a trolley conveyor belt and its drive assembly. The tea stripping machines are arranged in two rows on either side of the conveying support and comprise a tea stripping frame, a tea stripping trough pot on the tea stripping frame, and a tea stripping drive and heating assembly on one side of the tea stripping frame. The elevating conveyor is used to transport tea leaves to a higher location and drop them onto the conveying trolleys of the traveling conveyor. The trolley conveying drive assembly allows the trolley to move on the conveying track. The trolley drive assembly controls the trolley conveyor belt to rotate in both directions, allowing the tea leaves to fall into the tea stripping trough pots of the tea stripping machines on both sides. The tea stripping drive and heating assemblies of the tea stripping machines operate to straighten the tea leaves in the tea stripping trough pots.
[0007] Preferably, the discharge end of the lifting conveyor is provided with a weighing component for weighing the tea leaves to achieve precise processing.
[0008] Preferably, the tea stripping frames on both sides of the tea stripping trough pot are respectively hinged with a turning cylinder or oil cylinder, and the movable end of the turning cylinder or oil cylinder is hinged to the tea stripping trough pot. After the tea strips are sorted, the turning cylinder or oil cylinder is activated to turn the tea stripping trough pot over to facilitate tea discharging.
[0009] Preferably, a discharging conveyor is provided at the bottom of the conveying bracket, and the strip sorting trough pots of the strip sorting machines on both sides are flipped toward the middle. After the tea leaves are processed, they fall onto the discharging conveyor and are then transported to the next process.
[0010] Preferably, the number of the strip straightening machines is 6, which are divided into two rows with 3 machines in each row and are symmetrically arranged.
[0011] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the strip straightening machine unit of the utility model can automatically load and unload materials for multiple strip straightening machines during the strip straightening process, greatly reducing manpower and labor intensity, realizing continuous cycle processing of tea, improving processing efficiency, and meeting the production needs of enterprises.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific implementations and accompanying drawings.
[0020] Example 1: Figure 1-3 As shown, an automated tea strip sorting unit is used for sorting tea strips, including a lifting conveyor 10, a traveling conveyor 20 and a certain number of tea strip sorting machines 30. The lifting conveyor 10 includes a lifting conveying body 11 and a lifting conveying drive assembly 12 thereon. The bottom of the lifting conveying body 11 is the feeding end, and the top is the discharging end. The traveling conveyor 20 includes a conveying bracket 21, a conveying track 22 on the conveying bracket 21, a trolley conveying drive assembly 23 and a conveying trolley 24 on the conveying track 22. The conveying trolley 24 includes a trolley conveyor belt 24.1 and its drive assembly. The tea strip sorting machines 30 are divided into two rows and are arranged on both sides of the conveying bracket 21, including a tea strip sorting machine frame 31, a tea strip sorting trough pot 32 on the tea strip sorting machine frame 31 and a tea strip sorting drive and heating assembly 33 on one side of the tea strip sorting machine frame 31.
[0021] In this embodiment, the number of the strip sorting machines 30 can be 6, which are divided into two rows with 3 machines in each row and are symmetrically arranged.
[0022] Example 2: Based on Example 1, combined with Figure 1 As shown, a weighing assembly 13 is provided at the discharge end of the lifting conveyor 10 .
[0023] Example 3: Based on Example 1 or Example 2, combined with Figure 1-2 As shown, the strip sorting racks 31 on both sides of the strip sorting trough 32 are respectively hinged with a turning cylinder or oil cylinder 34, and the movable ends of the turning cylinder or oil cylinder 34 are hinged with the strip sorting trough 32. A discharging conveyor 40 is provided at the bottom of the conveying bracket 21.
[0024] The working process is: 1. The tea leaves to be processed enter the bottom feeding end of the lifting conveyor 10, and the lifting conveying drive component 12 works to convey the tea leaves to the discharging end, and are weighed by the weighing component 13 and then fall down.
[0025] 2. The tea leaves falling from the discharge end of the lifting conveyor 10 fall onto the trolley conveyor belt 24.1 of the conveying trolley 24. The trolley conveying drive component 23 drives the conveying trolley 24 to move along the conveying track 22 to the top of the corresponding strip sorting machine 30. The driving component of the conveying trolley 24 controls the trolley conveyor belt 24.1 to transport the tea leaves to the side of the corresponding strip sorting machine 30. The lifting conveyor 10 and the driving conveyor 20 continue to work until all the strip sorting machines 30 have tea leaves.
[0026] 3. The tea leaves dropped from the conveying trolley 24 fall onto the tea slat sorting pot 32 of the tea slat sorting machine 30 , and the tea slat sorting driving and heating assembly 33 works to sort the tea leaves in the tea slat sorting pot 32 .
[0027] 4. After the tea leaves are sorted, the turning cylinder or oil cylinder 34 is activated to turn the tea leaves sorting trough 32 upward, and the tea leaves slide down to the discharging conveyor 40 and are transported to the next process.
[0028] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the structural features of the present invention are not limited thereto. The present invention can be used on similar products. Any changes or modifications made by any technician in this field within the scope of the present invention are covered by the patent scope of the present invention.
