Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tea processing, and more specifically, to a feeding machine for tea processing. Background Art

[0002] Tea dryers operate on two main principles: hot air circulation drying and vacuum drying. The hot air circulation drying method uses a heater to force hot air into the drying drum, where it removes moisture from the wet tea leaves through convection, thereby drying the tea leaves. The vacuum drying method, on the other hand, extracts air from the drying drum to create a vacuum, then uses a heat source external to the drum to heat the tea leaves, causing the moisture in the tea leaves to evaporate under low pressure.

[0003] Open-top tea dryers require the tea leaves to be spread out in the dryer's upper port. Existing loading methods are typically done manually, which can easily lead to tea accumulation, making it difficult to heat the tea leaves evenly during drying, resulting in reduced drying quality and inconvenience. In light of this, we propose a tea processing loading machine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, meet actual needs, and provide a tea processing feeding machine to solve the technical problems of uneven manual feeding, inconvenience in spreading the tea leaves, and low drying quality.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a feeding machine for tea processing, comprising a feeding box, a tea dryer and a sealing box, a storage box being installed at the upper end of the feeding box, linkage arms being fixed on the lower sides of both ends of the feeding box, and the linkage arms being slidably installed on the displacement mechanism of the tea dryer, the sealing box being installed at the inner top end of the feeding box, and a bridge plate being slidably installed at the inner middle of the sealing box, a material guiding mechanism being provided on the inner lower side of the feeding box, and limiting grooves being provided at the middle of both ends of the feeding box.

[0006] When the utility model is used, an external power supply is connected, and the operator starts the device through an external control device, and the starting displacement mechanism drives the device to move on the upper side of the tea dryer through the linkage arm, and the starting screw rod is connected to the motor to drive it to rotate, and the screw rod thread drives the bridge plate to move to one side. During the movement of the bridge plate, the cross bar is pulled by the linkage sleeve, and the cross bar pulls the upper end of the guide plate to make the upper end deviate to one side. When the middle part of the guide plate deviates, it is affected by the limit column and the limit groove, so that the guide plate tilts positively, and the guide plate tilts to a certain unloading angle. When the bridge plate moves, the feeding port is opened, and the tea in the storage box is guided to the guide groove of the guide plate through the feeding port. It is spread in the material port at the upper end of the tea dryer, and the tea is spread and loaded through a moving device in conjunction with the spreading mechanism to avoid uneven drying caused by accumulation and ensure processing quality. There are guide grooves on both sides of the guide plate. When the device runs to one end of the tea dryer, the screw thread can be started in reverse to drive the bridge plate to the other side. At this time, the guide plate is tilted in the opposite direction by traction, and the tea passes through the material port and cooperates with the guide groove on the other side of the guide plate to start laying outwards. Through the above design, the tea can be laid in layers, and a small amount of tea can be laid at a time. After multiple layings, the thickness of the tea can be ensured to meet the load drying standard, thereby ensuring the quality of processing.

[0007] Preferably, a material outlet is provided on the upper end surface of the material sealing box, and the material outlet is connected to the lower end material outlet of the material storage box.

[0008] Preferably, screw rods are rotatably mounted on both ends of the interior of the sealing box, and linkage sleeves are rotatably mounted on both ends of the lower end surface of the bridge plate via hinges.

[0009] Preferably, the middle of the bridge plate is a sealing end, and both ends are driving ends. The screw thread passes through the driving end, and the sealing end of the bridge plate is in contact with the material outlet.

[0010] Preferably, the material guiding mechanism is composed of a material guiding plate and a cross bar, and both ends of the cross bar are mounted on the upper end of the material guiding plate through end heads.

[0011] Preferably, the linkage sleeve is movably mounted on the cross bar.

[0012] Preferably, the front and rear end surfaces of the material guide plate are both provided with material guide grooves.

[0013] Preferably, limiting columns are fixed at both ends of the guide plate, and outer ends of the limiting columns are slidably inserted into corresponding limiting grooves.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] 1. The utility model designs a loading box, starts the screw thread to drive the bridge plate to one side, and during the movement of the bridge plate, the cross bar is pulled by the linkage sleeve, and the cross bar pulls the upper end of the guide plate, causing the upper end to deviate to one side. When the guide plate deviates, the middle part is affected by the limit column and the limit groove, causing the guide plate to tilt positively. The guide plate tilts to a certain unloading angle, and the feed port is opened when the bridge plate moves. The tea in the storage box is guided to the guide groove of the guide plate through the feed port, so that it is spread in the feed port at the upper end of the tea dryer. The tea is spread and loaded through the traveling device in combination with the spreading mechanism to avoid uneven drying caused by accumulation and ensure processing quality.

[0016] 2. The utility model is also designed with a guide plate, and guide grooves are provided on both sides of the guide plate. When the device runs to one end of the tea dryer, the screw thread can be started in reverse to drive the bridge plate to the other side. At this time, the guide plate is tilted in the opposite direction by traction, and the tea leaves pass through the feed port and start to be laid outwards in conjunction with the guide groove on the other side of the guide plate. Through the above design, the tea leaves can be laid in layers, and a small amount of tea can be laid at a time. After multiple layings, the thickness of the tea leaves can be ensured to meet the load drying standard, thereby ensuring the quality of the processing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
