Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change in the proportional relationship, or adjustment of the size should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this utility model without affecting the efficacy and purpose of the utility model. At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle", etc. quoted in this specification are only for the convenience of description and are not used to limit the scope of the implementation of this utility model. Changes or adjustments in their relative relationships should also be considered as the scope of the implementation of this utility model without substantially changing the technical content.

[0055] See also Figures 1 to 7 The utility model provides an automatic feeding and unloading device for tea beverage raw materials, including a moving mechanism 2, a dumping mechanism 3, a weighing mechanism 4 and a control mechanism. The moving mechanism 2 includes a moving frame 21 and a moving drive component that drives the moving frame 21 to move. The dumping mechanism 3 is installed on the moving frame 21, including a dumping seat 31 and a dumping drive component that drives the dumping seat 31 to dump. The weighing mechanism 4 is fixed on the dumping seat 31, including a weighing pan 41 and an electronic weighing module 42 connected to the weighing pan 41 and for weighing. The electronic weighing module 42 is connected to the control mechanism signal. The control mechanism is respectively connected to the moving drive component and the dumping drive component. The moving drive component can drive the moving frame 21 to move so that the weighing pan 41 reaches different positions.

[0056] The main working principle of the automatic feeding and discharging device for tea beverage raw materials involved in the present invention is as follows: the automatic feeding and discharging device for tea beverage raw materials can be used to take materials from multiple raw material storage devices, and then move and put them into the tea brewing pot 8 or other containers. Specifically, the discharge port of the raw material storage device is set above the moving path of the weighing plate 41. Taking the feeding and discharging work during tea brewing as an example, when tea brewing is required, the control mechanism controls the movement of the moving mechanism 2, and the moving frame 21 moves so that the weighing plate 41 is located below the discharge port of the corresponding raw material storage device. At this time, the weighing plate 41 faces upward and can receive the tea beverage raw materials; the tea beverage raw materials are gradually put into the weighing plate 41. When the weight weighed by the electronic weighing module 42 reaches the specified weight, the raw material storage device stops discharging, and the control mechanism controls the movement of the moving mechanism 2 according to the signal, and the moving frame 21 moves to the dumping station and stops. At this time, the weighing plate 41 is located above the tea brewing pot 8. Figure 6 As shown, the control mechanism then controls the pouring mechanism 3 to actuate the pouring seat 31, flipping it to a pouring position and pouring the tea ingredients from the weighing tray 41 into the tea brewing jar 8. The pouring drive assembly then controls the pouring seat 31 to return to a material receiving position, causing the movable frame 21 to leave the tea brewing jar 8 and await the next material removal operation. The automatic tea ingredient loading and unloading device can automatically and accurately load and unload tea ingredients, reducing manual operation and improving work efficiency and safety. It can accurately load ingredients as required, ensuring tea quality. The automatic tea ingredient loading and unloading device can also be used in other similar applications.

[0057] See also Figures 1 to 7 The following is a further description of the automatic feeding and unloading device for tea beverage raw materials of the present invention with reference to specific embodiments:

[0058] Example 1:

[0059] See also Figures 1 to 6 , is a schematic diagram of Example 1. In this embodiment, see Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As a preferred design, the tipping drive assembly drives the tipping seat 31 to rotate around a horizontal axis, and the horizontal axis is close to the middle position of the weighing plate 41. In this way, the weighing plate 41 has a small displacement in the horizontal direction when it is turned over and tipped, which can better tip the tea ingredients into the tea brewing pot 8. The tipping drive assembly includes a tipping motor 32, the output shaft of which is fixedly connected to the tipping seat 31, directly driving the tipping seat 31 to rotate around the horizontal axis. It has a simple structure and is easy to control. In other embodiments, the motion trajectory of the tipping seat 31 during tipping can also be other forms, and the tipping drive assembly can also adopt other suitable structures.

[0060] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As a preferred design, the automatic tea raw material loading and unloading device also includes a material receiving posture detector 5 and a dumping posture detector 6. The material receiving posture detector 5 and the dumping posture detector 6 are both connected to the control mechanism signal. When the dumping seat 31 rotates to the material receiving posture, the material receiving posture detector 5 is triggered and sends a signal to the control mechanism. The control mechanism promptly controls the dumping motor 32 of the dumping mechanism 3 to stop according to the signal, so that the dumping seat 31 stops in the material receiving posture in a timely and accurate manner. When the dumping seat 31 rotates to the dumping posture, the weighing plate 41 faces downward or is tilted, and the tea raw material is dumped. The dumping posture detector 6 is triggered and sends a signal to the control mechanism. The control mechanism promptly controls the dumping motor 32 of the dumping mechanism 3 to stop according to the signal, so that the dumping seat 31 stops in the dumping posture in a timely and accurate manner. The dumping of the tea raw material can be started before or after the dumping seat 31 reaches the dumping posture, ensuring that the tea raw material in the weighing plate 41 can be dumped out smoothly when the dumping seat 31 stops in the dumping posture. Specifically in the present embodiment, the material receiving posture detector 5 and the tipping posture detector 6 are both position switches, and specifically, a photoelectric position switch or a contact position switch can be selected. The material receiving posture detector 5 and the tipping posture detector 6 are both fixedly arranged next to the mobile frame 21, specifically, respectively fixed on the upper and lower sides of the tipping motor 32. A first trigger block 311 is fixedly provided on the tipping seat 31. When the tipping seat 31 rotates to the material receiving posture, the first trigger block 311 moves to the material receiving posture detector 5 and triggers the material receiving posture detector 5 to send a signal to the control mechanism; when the tipping operation is required, after the output shaft of the tipping motor 32 rotates 180°, the tipping seat 31 rotates from the material receiving posture to the tipping posture, at which time the first trigger block 311 moves to the tipping posture detector 6 and triggers the tipping posture detector 6 to send a signal to the control mechanism. In other embodiments, the material receiving posture detector 5 and the tipping posture detector 6 can also be arranged in other suitable ways.

[0061] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2As a preferred design, the mobile drive assembly drives the mobile frame 21 to rotate in the horizontal direction. The rotation axis of the mobile frame 21 is vertical and close to the tail end of the mobile frame 21. The tipping mechanism 3 is installed at the head end of the mobile frame 21. The mobile mechanism 2 is installed on a support frame 1 so that the weighing mechanism 4 has an appropriate height and has an appropriate distance from the teapot 8 when tipping. The mobile drive assembly drives the rotary mobile motor 23 and the rotary connecting seat 22. The output shaft of the rotary mobile motor 23 is connected to the mobile frame 21 through the rotary connecting seat 22. When the rotary mobile motor 23 rotates, it drives the mobile frame 21 to rotate through the rotary connecting seat 22. In other embodiments, the moving trajectory of the mobile frame 21 can be a straight line movement in the horizontal direction or other motion trajectories. The specific setting can be based on needs, and it can drive the weighing mechanism 4 to move to different positions for material collection. At the same time, the mobile drive assembly can also adopt other suitable structures.

[0062] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As a preferred design, the automatic feeding and unloading device for tea beverage raw materials also includes a dumping position detector 7. The dumping position detector 7 is connected to the control mechanism signal. When the mobile drive component drives the mobile frame 21 to move to the dumping position, the dumping position detection mechanism is triggered and outputs a signal. The dumping position detector 7 preferably adopts a position switch, specifically a photoelectric position switch or a contact position switch, and is fixed. A second sensing block 211 is fixed on the mobile frame 21. When the mobile frame 21 moves to the dumping position, the second trigger block moves to the dumping position detector 7 and triggers the dumping position detector 7 to send a signal to the control mechanism. The control mechanism controls the mobile drive component to stop in time according to the signal, so that the mobile frame 21 stops at the dumping position in a timely and accurate manner.

[0063] Example 2:

[0064] See also Figure 7 , is a schematic diagram of Example 2. In this embodiment, as a preferred design, the dumping drive assembly drives the dumping seat 31 to rotate around the horizontal axis, and the horizontal axis is located at an appropriate height below the weighing plate 41, and the weighing plate 41 has a displacement distance in the horizontal direction when it is overturned and dumped. Preferably, the dumping mechanism 3 also includes a dumping hopper 33 fixed to the mobile frame 21. When the dumping seat 31 drives the weighing plate 41 to perform a dumping action, the tea beverage ingredients in the weighing plate 41 are dumped into the dumping hopper 33, and then output from the outlet end of the dumping hopper 33 to the designated position. The dumping drive assembly includes a dumping motor 32, and the output shaft of the dumping motor 32 is fixedly connected to the dumping seat 31, directly driving the dumping seat 31 to rotate around the horizontal axis. It has a simple structure and is easy to control. In other embodiments, the dumping drive assembly may also adopt other suitable structures.

[0065] In this embodiment, see Figure 7 As a preferred design, the automatic feeding and unloading device for tea beverage raw materials also includes a material receiving posture detector 5 and a pouring posture detector ( Figure 7 The material receiving posture detector 5 and the dumping posture detector are both connected to the control mechanism signal. The specific structure and working principle of the material receiving posture detector 5 and the dumping posture detector are basically the same as those in Example 1, so they are not described in detail.

[0066] In this embodiment, see Figure 7 As a preferred design, the mobile drive assembly includes an X-direction drive unit and a Y-direction drive unit. The X-direction drive unit can drive the mobile frame 21 to move horizontally and linearly along the X-direction, and the Y-direction drive unit can drive the mobile frame 21 to move horizontally and linearly along the Y-direction. The X-direction and Y-direction are preferably perpendicular to each other, but can also be at other angles. The control mechanism is respectively connected to the X-direction drive unit and the Y-direction drive unit. The X-direction drive unit includes an X-direction beam 24, an X-direction slide 25, a transmission belt 26, and a pulley 27 that drives the transmission belt 26. The X-direction slide 25 is movably mounted on the X-direction beam 24. The transmission belt 26 is connected to the X-direction slide 25 and can drive the X-direction slide 25 to move horizontally and linearly along the X-direction. The movement of the pulley 27 is controlled by the control mechanism. The Y-axis drive unit includes a Y-axis drive cylinder 28 fixedly mounted on the X-axis slide 25. The Y-axis drive cylinder 28 can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric cylinder. The piston rod of the Y-axis drive cylinder 28 is connected to the movable frame 21, and can drive the movable frame 21 to move horizontally and linearly along the Y-axis. The movement of the Y-axis drive cylinder 28 is controlled by a control mechanism. In other embodiments, the X-axis drive unit and the Y-axis drive unit can also adopt other suitable structures that can achieve the above functions. During operation, the movable frame 21 is driven by the transmission belt 26 to move in the X-axis to different positions to pick up materials, and then moves in the X-axis to the position corresponding to the designated discharge position. At this time, the movable frame 21 is located in the X-axis position corresponding to the pouring station. Then, according to actual needs, the Y-axis drive unit can be used to drive the movable frame 21 in the Y-axis to a suitable position, so that the movable frame 21 is located in the Y-axis position corresponding to the pouring station. The distance between the pouring seat 31 and the pouring hopper 33 is adjusted to the designated discharge position, thereby accurately pouring the tea beverage ingredients into the designated discharge position. In other embodiments, the mobile drive assembly may also be provided with only an X-direction drive portion without a Y-direction drive portion.

[0067] In this embodiment, see Figure 7As a preferred design, the mobile drive assembly also includes an X-direction positioning detector 29, which is connected to the control mechanism signal. The X-direction positioning detector 29 can specifically be a contact switch and is fixed on the X-direction beam 24. A third sensing block 251 is fixed on the X-direction slide 25. When the dumping mechanism 3 performs the dumping action, the position of the movable frame 21 is the dumping position. When the movable frame 21 is at the dumping position, the position of the X-direction slide 25 is recorded as the X-stop position. When the X-direction slide 25 moves to the X-stop position on the X-direction beam 24, the third sensing block 251 reaches the X-direction positioning detector 29, triggering the X-direction positioning detector 29 to send a signal to the control mechanism. The control mechanism controls the pulley 27 and the transmission belt 26 to stop moving, and the X-direction slide 25 automatically stops at the X-stop position. Then, the Y-direction drive cylinder 28 drives the movable frame 21 to move to the dumping position. In this embodiment, a dumping station detector is also provided. The dumping station detector is connected to the control mechanism signal. When the Y-axis drive cylinder 28 drives the movable frame 21 to move to the dumping station, the dumping station detection mechanism is triggered and outputs a signal to the control mechanism. The control mechanism controls the Y-axis drive cylinder 28 to stop, so that the movable frame 21 stops at the dumping station in a timely and accurate manner.

[0068] In the present invention, the control mechanism can adopt the existing structure, specifically a PLC controller, and be equipped with corresponding electrical components. The control mechanism has functions such as data storage, calculation and analysis, and instruction sending, and can control the device to automatically perform material collection, movement and dumping.

[0069] The method for automatically taking and discharging tea beverage raw materials using the above-mentioned automatic taking and discharging device for tea beverage raw materials comprises the following steps:

[0070] S1. Multiple raw material storage devices are respectively recorded as X1~Xn, and the tea raw material information stored in each is stored in the control mechanism. The positions of the movable rack 21 when the weighing plate 41 is located below the discharge port of the X1~Xn raw material storage device are respectively recorded as Y1~Y2, stored in the control mechanism and correspond one to one with X1~Xn respectively.

[0071] S2. When the tea raw materials need to be taken out, 1≤i≤n, the control mechanism controls the moving mechanism 2 to move, and the moving frame 21 moves to position Yi; and controls the tipping seat 31 of the tipping mechanism 3 to be in the material receiving posture, and the weighing plate 41 faces upward and is located below the discharge port of the raw material storage device, waiting for the material to be received.

[0072] S3. Open the raw material storage device and gradually release the tea ingredients onto the weighing plate 41. When the weight measured by the weighing module reaches the specified weight, the raw material storage device stops discharging. The control mechanism controls the movement mechanism 2 in response to the signal, and the moving frame 21 moves to the dumping station and stops. The weighing plate 41 is now located above the designated position, such as above the teapot 8. The raw material storage device can be automatically discharged, also controlled by the control mechanism. When the moving frame 21 moves to position Y1, the control mechanism controls the raw material storage device to automatically begin discharging. When the weight measured by the electronic weighing module 42 reaches the specified weight, the control mechanism controls the raw material storage device to automatically stop discharging and then controls the movement of the moving mechanism 2 again.

[0073] S4 , the control mechanism controls the dumping mechanism 3 to move, the dumping seat 31 moves to a dumping posture, and the tea material in the weighing plate 41 is dumped into a designated location, such as the tea brewing pot 8 .

[0074] As can be seen from the above, the automatic tea raw material taking and discharging device of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0075] It can automatically move to multiple positions to pick up materials, accurately pick up tea ingredients of corresponding weight, and then automatically move to the pouring position, and automatically pour the tea ingredients into a designated position such as the tea-making jar 8. The entire work can be fully automated, which can basically avoid manual operation, has high work efficiency, and reduces food hygiene and safety problems caused by human contact with tea ingredients. Each time the material is taken out and put out, it is stable and reliable, ensuring the stability of the quality and taste of the tea, and is conducive to the standardization and intelligentization of tea production. In summary, the utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the existing technology and has high industrial utilization value.

[0076] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed in the present invention are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
