Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tea processing, in particular to a tea rolling machine for tea production. Background Art

[0002] The tea production and processing process consists of three key steps: withering, rolling, and drying. Rolling, a crucial shaping step in tea processing, imparts a unique, tightly bound, curved appearance to the tea leaves, effectively improving their inherent quality. Specifically, rolling tightly coils the tea leaves, significantly reducing their volume and laying a solid foundation for subsequent drying and forming into strips.

[0003] Mechanized rolling equipment commonly used in tea production includes rolling plates and barrels with rotating mechanisms and pressure regulators. However, after the tea leaves enter the barrel, they are directly rolled by the rolling plates, which can easily cause them to clump together and prevent uniform processing. Some clumped tea leaves can become over-rolled due to the concentrated rolling force, causing them to break apart, affecting their appearance and taste, and reducing their quality. Furthermore, due to clumping, some tea leaves fail to fully contact the rolling mechanism during the rolling process, resulting in insufficient rolling, a failure to form a tight, curved shape, and ineffective improvement of the tea's internal quality. Utility Model Content

One end of the movable rod 15 is fixedly connected to the kneading plate 16, and the kneading seat can knead the tea leaves driven by the rotating rod 10. A pushing assembly is installed inside the connecting post 12, and a mounting cylinder 18 is fixedly connected to the inside of the kneading barrel 9, allowing the kneaded tea leaves to be discharged through the square groove 23 of the mounting cylinder 18.

[0036] Reference Figure 2The transmission assembly includes a first rotating wheel 5, which is arranged on the other side of the scattering box 1. The inner side of the first rotating wheel 5 is fixedly connected to the other end of one of the rotating rollers 2, so that the power of the rotating roller 2 can be transmitted to the first rotating wheel 5. The outer side of the first rotating wheel 5 is connected to the second rotating wheel 7 via a belt 6, realizing power transmission, and transferring the power in the scattering box 1 to the kneading barrel 9. The inner side of the second rotating wheel 7 is arranged at one end of the kneading barrel 9, and one end of the rotating rod 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of the second rotating wheel 7, so that the power of the second rotating wheel 7 can be transmitted to the rotating rod 10, thereby driving the kneading seat to knead the tea leaves.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The pushing assembly includes a spring 13, one end of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting column 12, which can continuously provide elastic tension for the kneading plate 16.

The end of the connecting column 12 is fixedly connected to a blocking frame 17, and the outside of the movable rod 15 is slidably connected to the inner side of the blocking frame 17, so that the movable rod 15 will not get stuck when moving, and at the same time ensure that when the kneading plate 16 kneads the tea leaves, the broken pieces enter the connecting column 12.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 , a plurality of square grooves 23 are provided on the outside of the mounting tube 18, which provide a discharge channel for the kneaded tea leaves. An outlet 20 is provided at the bottom of the kneading barrel 9, so that the kneaded tea leaves can be discharged outward. The bottom of the kneading barrel 9 is fixedly connected to a support 21, which provides stable support for the entire equipment.

[0039] Working principle: First, the tea leaves are put into the inside of the scattering box 1 from the feeding tube 19. At the same time, when the motor 4 is started, it will drive one of the driving gears 3 to rotate, and through the meshing connection, it will drive the other driving gear 3 to rotate, so that the two rotating rollers 2 can disperse the tea leaves inside the scattering box 1, so that the tea leaves can be evenly entered from the discharge pipe 8 into the mounting cylinder 18 inside the kneading barrel 9. When one of the rotating rollers 2 rotates, it drives the first rotating wheel 5 at its end to rotate, and drives the second rotating wheel 7 to rotate accordingly through the belt 6, and then the rotating rod 10 can rotate synchronously inside the mounting cylinder 18. The rotation of the rotating rod 10 will drive the kneading plate 16 to knead the tea leaves in the mounting cylinder 18. The kneaded tea leaves can be discharged through the square groove 23 outside the mounting cylinder 18, and can enter the slide plate 22 through the outlet 20, and then the outflow direction of the tea leaves can be guided.

[0040] Secondly, during the process of kneading the tea leaves by the kneading plate 16, the spring 13 inside the connecting column 12 can generate elastic force, so that the movable rod 15 drives the kneading plate 16 to maintain the contact area with the tea leaves, so that the kneading plate 16 will not damage the tea leaves too much, thereby avoiding the quality deterioration of the tea leaves caused by excessive stirring during the kneading process. At the same time, the blocking frame 17 at the end of the connecting column 12 prevents tea leaves from entering the interior of the connecting column 12.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
