Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, a screening device for processing black tea leaves includes a support frame 1, a screening drum 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame 1, a funnel drum 3 disposed on the top of the screening drum 2, and a protective cover 4 disposed on the top of the funnel drum 3. A primary screening assembly 5 is disposed at the bottom of the protective cover 4, and a fine screening assembly 6 is disposed on the outer side of the screening drum 2.

[0025] The fine screening assembly 6 includes several first blast pipes 601 arranged on the outside of the funnel tube 3, a first air supply pipe 602 arranged on the outside of the first blast pipe 601, several second blast pipes 603 arranged on the outside of the screening drum 2, a second air supply pipe 604 arranged on the outside of the second blast pipe 603, a swinging screen plate 605 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the screening drum 2, a swinging motor 606 fixedly installed on the outside of the screening drum 2, a blower 607 fixedly installed on the bottom side of the support frame 1, an air supply pipe 608 arranged on the top of the blower 607, and a fine screening plate 609 arranged on the inner wall of the screening drum 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, the top of the screening cylinder 2 is embedded in the bottom end of the funnel cylinder 3 and fixed to the funnel cylinder 3 by screw threads. A sealing rubber gasket 21 is provided on the top of the screening cylinder 2 for use with the funnel cylinder 3.

[0027] The screening cylinder 2 and the funnel cylinder 3 are fixed with threaded connections to facilitate the subsequent disassembly and cleaning of the device. The sealing gasket 21 separates the screening cylinder 2 and the funnel cylinder 3 to prevent wear between the two due to vibration of the device and seal the interface position.

[0028] In this embodiment, a feed pipe 401 is provided on the side of the protective cover 4, a sealing cover plate 402 is fixed to the top of the feed pipe 401 by a snap, a plurality of air outlets 403 for air circulation are opened on the top of the protective cover 4, and the bottom of the protective cover 4 is embedded in the top opening of the funnel tube 3 and is fixed to the funnel tube 3 by threads.

[0029] The sealing cover plate 402 seals the opening of the feed pipe 401 to prevent the blades from flying out from the inside of the protective cover 4. The threaded connection between the protective cover 4 and the funnel tube 3 is provided to facilitate disassembly and cleaning at a later time.

[0030] It should be noted that a protective cover is provided inside the air outlet 403 to prevent the blades from separating.

[0031] In this embodiment, one end of the first blast pipe 601 is embedded in the interior of the funnel tube 3 and a snap-fixed interception cover 610 is provided at the opening; one end of the second blast pipe 603 is embedded in the interior of the screening tube 2 and a snap-fixed interception net 611 is provided at the opening.

[0032] An interception cover 610 and an interception net 611 are respectively provided inside the first blast pipe 601 and the second blast pipe 603 to intercept the pipe openings and prevent blades from flying out.

[0033] The output shaft of the swing motor 606 passes through the side wall of the screening drum 2 horizontally and is fixedly installed on the side and the side of the swing screen plate 605. The side of the air supply duct 608 is connected to the first air supply duct 602 and the second air supply duct 604 respectively.

[0034] The swing motor 606 and the swing sieve plate 605 are fixedly installed so that after the swing motor 606 is started, it drives the swing sieve plate 605 to rotate at a certain angle, so that the blades on the top of the swing sieve plate 605 move back and forth, allowing blades of appropriate size to pass through the swing sieve plate 605 and fall into the next layer.

[0035] It should be noted that the swing motor 606 only performs reciprocating motion at a certain angle, so that the swing sieve plate 605 flips back and forth, and the black tea leaves slide back and forth on the top of the swing sieve plate 605.

[0036] In this embodiment, the inner side wall of the screening cylinder 2 is provided with several fixed blocks, the bottom outer side of the subdividing screen plate 609 is provided with several limiting slots used in conjunction with the fixed blocks, and the bottom outer side of the screening cylinder 2 is provided with a storage box 22 fixed with a snap.

[0037] A fixed block is provided on the inner side wall of the screening cylinder 2 to fix the subdividing sieve plate 609, so as to facilitate the replacement of the subdividing sieve plate 609 at any time in the later stage, thereby screening the black tea leaves at different picking positions.

[0038] In this embodiment, the primary screening assembly 5 includes a driving motor 501 fixedly mounted on the top of the protective cover 4 , a transmission rod 502 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the output shaft of the driving motor 501 , and a primary screening mesh plate 503 fixedly mounted on the outside of the transmission rod 502 .

[0039] The output shaft of the driving motor 501 vertically passes through the protective cover 4 and is rotatably connected to the top wall of the protective cover 4. The side of the primary screening mesh plate 503 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the funnel tube 3. The mesh surface at the top center of the primary screening mesh plate 503 is an inclined surface.

[0040] A driving motor 501 is provided to drive the transmission rod 502 to rotate, thereby driving the primary screen mesh plate 503 to rotate. When the primary screen mesh plate 503 rotates, since the top surface is an inclined surface, the movement of blades at different positions is inconsistent. Inconsistent movement will result in relative movement, so that the appropriate blades pass through the primary screen mesh plate 503 and enter the next layer.

[0041] It should be noted that the rotation speed of the driving motor 501 is relatively slow and will not affect the blades from passing through the primary screening plate 503 .

[0042] The primary sieve plate 503, the swing sieve plate 605 and the subdividing sieve plate 609 are internally provided with filter screens with holes of different diameters.

[0043] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0044] The black tea leaves are placed into the funnel 3 by unscrewing the sealing cover 402, and the driving motor 501 is started. The rotation of the output shaft of the driving motor 501 drives the rotation of the transmission rod 502, thereby driving the rotation of the primary screening mesh plate 503. The rotation of the primary screening mesh plate 503 drives the black tea leaves stored on the top to move, and at the same time the blower 607 is started. The blower 607 will drive air into the first air supply pipe 602, blowing the black tea leaves that fall on the top of the primary screening mesh plate 503. The black tea leaves of appropriate size pass through the primary screening mesh plate 503 and fall into the interior of the screening cylinder 2 under the simultaneous action of rotation and blowing.

[0045] In addition, by starting the swing motor 606, the rotation of the swing motor 606 drives the swing sieve plate 605 to swing at a certain angle. The swinging of the swing sieve plate 605 causes the fallen black tea leaves on the top to slide back and forth. At the same time, the blower 607 allows air to enter the second air supply pipe 604, and the circulating air passes through the second blower pipe 603 into the interior of the screening cylinder 2, blowing the black tea leaves that fall on the top of the swing sieve plate 605, so that the black tea leaves of appropriate size pass through the swing sieve plate 605 and fall to the top of the subdividing sieve plate 609, and the fine residue passes through the subdividing sieve plate 609 and falls to the storage box 22, thereby solving the problems of low operating efficiency and complex operation of the black tea leaf processing and screening equipment.

[0046] The electrical components mentioned in this article are all electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device that controls a computer, etc., and the existing public power connection technology is not described in detail in this article.

[0047] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply the existence of any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
