DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] like Figure 1-5As shown, a tea leaf finishing and stem picking device comprises a shell 1, a feed trough 2 is provided on the top of the shell 1, a first blowing mechanism 4 is provided on the outside of the shell 1, and an air outlet of the first blowing mechanism 4 passes through the shell 1 and is located below the feed trough 2. When the tea leaves that need to be picked for stems enter the shell 1 from the feed trough 2, the air blown out by the first blowing mechanism 4 below it is used to perform the first stem picking work on the tea leaves, and this stem picking is a rough stem picking process.

[0025] The shell 1 is also provided with a secondary stem picking structure 5 facing the air outlet of the first blowing mechanism 4, so that the tea leaves that have completed the rough stem picking process are blown into the secondary stem picking structure 5 and undergo a second precision stem picking process. The structure specifically includes a middle partition 502 and a blocking plate 503 fixed in the shell 1. The middle partition 502 and the blocking plate 503 are arranged up and down and have overlapping sections at the same height. A gap is provided between the overlapping sections of the middle partition 502 and the blocking plate 503 for the tea leaves that have passed through the first stem picking. The top end of the middle partition 502 is lower than the height of the air outlet of the first blowing mechanism 4, so that the tea leaves that have completed the first stem picking work fall into the gap between it and the middle partition 502 under the blocking action of the blocking plate 503.

[0026] The side of the shell 1 is also provided with an air outlet and a second blowing mechanism 6 that passes through the middle partition 502. The air outlet of the second blowing mechanism 6 is facing the blocking plate 503 and is located below it. The wind blown by the second blowing mechanism 6 can be used to carry out secondary stem picking of tea leaves that fall between the middle partition 502 and the blocking plate 503, thereby completing the precision stem picking process.

[0027] A partition plate 7 is fixedly provided on the inner bottom wall of the shell 1 to separate the tea leaves that have completed the stem picking process from the tea stems. The partition plate 7 is located directly below or behind the blocking plate 503.

[0028] It should be noted that the feed chute 2 is located on one side of the top of the shell 1, so as to reserve space for the secondary stem picking structure 5 in the shell 1.

[0029] In the preferred embodiment, the first blowing mechanism 4 includes a first fan 401, and a first air outlet pipe 402 is provided at the air outlet end of the first fan 401. The air outlet at the other end of the first air outlet pipe 402 passes through the shell 1 and extends into the interior thereof, and is located below the feed trough 2, so that the first fan 401 is used to generate wind for the first air selection, and the wind is transported to the shell 1 through the first air outlet pipe 402.

[0030] In the preferred embodiment, the second blowing mechanism 6 includes a second fan 601, and a second air outlet pipe 602 is provided at the air outlet end of the second fan 601. The air outlet at the other end of the second air outlet pipe 602 passes through the shell 1 and the middle partition 502 and faces the blocking plate 503, and is located below the blocking plate 503, so that the second fan 601 is used to generate wind for the second air selection, and the wind is transported to the secondary stem picking structure 5 through the second air outlet pipe 602.

[0031] This design can achieve refined tea stem picking by setting two air inlet volumes of different sizes, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of tea stem picking.

[0032] In the preferred embodiment, the secondary stem picking structure 5 also includes an inclined baffle 501 fixed on the back of the middle partition 502. The inclined baffle 501 is connected to the top of the middle partition 502, and the second air outlet pipe 602 is located in the gap between the two. The inclined baffle 501 can guide the tea stems during the first stem picking and prevent the tea stems from falling onto the second air outlet pipe 602.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the side of the shell 1 is provided with two discharge ports, which are located on both sides of the partition plate 7, namely the tea stem discharge port 9 and the leaf discharge port 8.

[0034] In addition, a guide slope 10 inclined toward the tea stem discharge port 9 and the leaf discharge port 8 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the shell 1, thereby facilitating the tea stems and leaves to be discharged from the corresponding tea stem discharge port 9 and leaf discharge port 8 respectively.

[0035] In the preferred embodiment, the feed trough 2 is bucket-shaped, and an electric heating mesh plate 201 is provided on its inclined surface, so that the feed trough 2 can be kept at a certain temperature through the electric heating mesh plate 201, thereby drying the wet tea leaves and avoiding large-area adhesion, which affects the air selection accuracy.

[0036] In addition, the shell 1 is also provided with a breaking up mechanism 3 located between the feed trough 2 and the air outlet of the first blowing mechanism 4. The breaking up mechanism 3 includes a receiving mechanism 31 and a shaking mechanism 32 located below it. The tea leaves entering from the feed trough 2 can be broken up by the breaking up mechanism 3, and the feeding speed during air selection can be controlled at the same time, thereby further improving the wind accuracy.

[0037] In the preferred embodiment, the receiving mechanism 31 includes a receiving groove 310 with an open front end, and its top is also open. The two sides of the front end of the receiving groove 310 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the shell 1 through a rotating shaft 311, and a rotation limit rod 312 is fixed on both sides of the rear end of the receiving groove 310. A limit groove 313 corresponding to the rotation limit rod 312 is provided on the inner wall surface of the shell 1, and a pull rod 314 is provided. A reset spring 315 is installed between the pull rod 314 and the rotation limit rod 312 to facilitate the receiving groove 310 to rotate around the rotating shaft 311. The rotation limit rod 312 and the limit groove 313 can play a limiting role, and the reset spring 315 can reset it.

[0038] In the preferred embodiment, the shaking mechanism 32 includes a rotating shaft 320 rotatably arranged in the shell 1 and located below the receiving groove 310. The rotating shaft 320 is rotatably arranged in the shell 1 through a bearing. The external fixed sleeve of the rotating shaft 320 is provided with a cam 321 that can interfere with the receiving groove 310. A driving motor 322 is provided on the outside of the shell 1, and the output shaft of the driving motor 322 is transmission-connected to one end of the rotating shaft 320.

[0039] With such a design, the rotating shaft 320 can be driven to rotate by the power of the driving motor 322, thereby driving the cam 321 outside it to rotate. By utilizing the interference relationship between the protruding part of the cam 321 and the bottom of the receiving groove 310, the receiving groove 310 can be rotated around the rotating shaft 311, thereby breaking up the tea leaves and causing them to fall from the front opening and enter and exit the first air separation.

[0040] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be the technical solutions set forth in the claims, including equivalent alternatives to the technical features of the technical solutions set forth in the claims. Equivalent alternatives and improvements within this scope are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
