[0002] Tea generally consists of the leaves and buds of the Camellia sinensis plant, also known as tea, tea, tea leaves, and tea leaves. Tea ingredients include catechins, cholestenone, caffeine, inositol, folic acid, and pantothenic acid, which are beneficial to health. Tea beverages made from tea are one of the three major beverages in the world. They are divided into six categories based on variety, production method, and product appearance. According to the season of harvesting, they can be divided into spring tea, summer tea, autumn tea, and winter tea. Re-processed teas made from various raw or refined tea leaves include scented tea, compressed tea, extracted tea, medicinal and health tea, tea food, and tea-containing beverages.

[0029] See also Figure 1-7 The utility model provides a technical solution: a feeding device for tea production, comprising two fixed plates 1, on which a feeding mechanism 3 for conveying tea leaves and a discharge mechanism 4 for receiving tea leaves are provided;

[0030] The feeding mechanism 3 includes two rotating rods 31, and the two rotating rods 31 are symmetrically connected to each other on the opposite sides of the two fixed plates 1 through bearings. The outer wall of the rotating rod 31 is fixedly connected to a conveying roller 32, and a conveyor belt 33 is connected to the outer wall of the two conveying rollers 32. A motor 34 is installed on the rear surface of one fixed plate 1. The rear end of one rotating rod 31 passes through the fixed plate 1 and is fixedly connected to one end of the output shaft of the motor 34. A rotating shaft 36 is rotatably connected between the upper parts of the opposite sides of the two fixed plates 1 through bearings. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 36 is fixedly connected to a rotating roller 37, and the outer wall of the rotating roller 37 is evenly fixedly connected to a connecting rod. Plate 38, a brush 39 is evenly bonded to the side of the connecting plate 38 away from the roller 37, the right side of the front surface of the other fixed plate 1 is rotatably connected to a rotating column 310 through a bearing, the front end of the rotating column 310 is fixedly connected to a driven wheel 311, the front end of a rotating rod 31 passes through the fixed plate 1 and is fixedly connected to a driving wheel 312, a transmission belt 313 is connected between the driving wheel 312 and the driven wheel 311, the outer wall of the rotating column 310 is fixedly connected to a driving gear 314, the front end of the rotating shaft 36 passes through the fixed plate 1 and is fixedly connected to a driven gear 315, and the driven gear 315 is meshed with the driving gear 314;

[0031] The unloading mechanism 4 includes a unloading hopper 41 , which is located at the lower right side of the conveyor belt 33 .

[0032] Under the above arrangement, the tea leaves are put down from the left side of the conveyor belt 33, and the motor 34 drives the rotating rod 31 and the conveying roller 32 to rotate clockwise. The conveyor belt 33 moves to the right to transport the tea leaves to the right, and the tea leaves fall from the right end of the conveyor belt 33 into the lower hopper 41. The rotating rod 31 drives the driving wheel 312 to rotate clockwise. Under the action of the transmission belt 313, the driven wheel 311, the rotating column 310 and the driving gear 314 are driven to rotate clockwise.

Both ends of the connecting shaft 43 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support leg 2 through bearings; when the connecting shaft 43 rotates, it drives the lower hopper 41 to rotate, so that the lower hopper 41 has a rotation function.

[0035] In this example, specifically: the unloading mechanism 4 also includes a fixed bar 44, which is fixedly connected to the middle part of the outer wall of the support leg 2, and an electric cylinder 45 is installed on the right side wall of the fixed bar 44, and one end of the piston rod of the electric cylinder 45 is fixedly connected to a movable block 46; the extension and retraction of one end of the piston rod of the electric cylinder 45 can drive the movable block 46 to move left and right.

[0036] In this example, specifically: a roller 47 is installed on the upper surface of the movable block 46; when the movable block 46 moves to the right, the roller 47 lifts the discharge hopper 41 upward, so that the discharge height is increased; when the movable block 46 moves to the left, the discharge hopper 41 drops under the action of its own gravity, so that the discharge height is reduced, thereby controlling the discharge height and docking different work lines.

[0037] In this embodiment, specifically: a rubber pad 5 is bonded to the bottom of the supporting leg 2 to increase the anti-slip performance of the supporting leg 2.

[0038] In this example, specifically: a switch button 35 is installed on one side of the rear surface of a fixed plate 1 close to the motor 34, and the electrical output end of the switch button 35 is electrically connected to the electrical input end of the motor 34 and the electric cylinder 45 through wires, so as to facilitate the control of the working status of the motor 34 and the electric cylinder 45.

[0039] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: tea leaves are put down from the left side of the conveyor belt 33, the motor 34 drives the rotating rod 31 and the conveying roller 32 to rotate clockwise, the conveyor belt 33 moves to the right to transport the tea leaves to the right, and the tea leaves fall from the right end of the conveyor belt 33 into the lower hopper 41, the rotating rod 31 drives the driving wheel 312 to rotate clockwise, and under the action of the transmission belt 313, the driven wheel 311, the rotating column 310 and the driving gear 314 are driven to rotate clockwise, and the driving gear 314 drives the driven gear 315, the rotating shaft 36, the rotating roller 37 and the brush 39 to rotate counterclockwise, and the brush 39 scrapes the tea leaves at the end of the conveyor belt 33 to sweep the tea leaves off, thereby preventing the tea leaves from sticking to the conveyor belt 33, avoiding tea waste, and saving costs.
