The shaking and turning component can drive the tea leaves to shake and achieve the effect of automatic turning, ensuring that the withering progress of different sides of the tea leaves is the same. A placement and positioning component is provided inside the tank body 1.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The shaking flipping assembly includes a motor 71, the output shaft of the motor 71 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 72, and the starting motor 71 can drive the rotating shaft 72 to rotate. The motor 71 is a prior art and can be implemented by technicians in this field. Since it is a prior art, it will not be described in detail in this case. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 72 is fixedly connected to a positioning plate 73. There are multiple groups of positioning plates 73, which are evenly distributed longitudinally along the outer wall of the rotating shaft 72. A notch is provided on the inner wall of the right side of the tank body 1. The positioning plate 73 is located at the notch and will not contact the tank body 1. The shaking flipping assembly also includes a placement frame 74. The placement frame 74 is annular. The inner wall of the placement frame 74 is elastically connected to the placement plate 76 by a compression spring 75. The upper surface of the placement plate 76 is fixedly connected to a pull ring 77, which is convenient for removing the placement plate 76. When the placement plate 76 moves to the highest point, it still has a certain distance from the top of the placement frame 74.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 The placement and positioning assembly includes a connecting block 81, a positioning groove 801 is provided on the inner wall of the left side of the tank body 1, a clamping block 82 is fixedly connected to the right surface of the connecting block 81, the inner wall of the clamping block 82 is elastically connected to the limiting block 84 through a limiting spring 83, a clamping groove 802 is provided on the left surface of the placement frame 74, the clamping block 82 and the clamping groove 802 fit together, and a limiting groove 803 is provided on the inner wall of the placement frame 74, and the limiting groove 803 and the limiting block 84 fit together.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 -Figure 3 The inner wall of the bottom end of the tank body 1 is set as an arc surface, and the broken tea leaves that fall on the bottom end of the tank body 1 can slide along the arc surface. The motor 71 is set on the lower surface of the tank body 1, and the rotating shaft 72 passes through and is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the tank body 1. The positioning plate 73 is set as a semi-disc shape and is set in an inclined shape. The lower surface of the placement frame 74 is slightly higher than the lowest point of the upper surface of the positioning plate 73. When the positioning plate 73 rotates, it squeezes the placement frame 74, thereby driving the placement frame 74 to move upward, and because the positioning plate 73 is set as a semi-disc shape, when it rotates, half a circle and the placement frame 74 will not contact. The placement frame 74 will fall quickly from the high point at this time, and then drive the placement plate 76 to shake under the action of the compression spring 75, driving the tea leaves to turn over, and the positioning plate 7 The initial position is on the right side of the rotating shaft 72 and will not block the placing frame 74. The placing frame 74 penetrates and slides on the upper surface of the tank body 1 and can be taken out. The outer wall of the placing frame 74 fits the inner wall of the tank body 1 to prevent tea from spilling out during shaking. The upper surface of the placing plate 76 is provided with mesh holes. When shaking, broken tea leaves can pass through the mesh holes and be sieved, reducing the workload of subsequent screening work. One end of the compression spring 75 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the placing plate 76, and the other end of the compression spring 75 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the placing frame 74. The placing plate 76 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the placing frame 74. When the placing frame 74 moves quickly, it can drive the placing plate 76 to shake longitudinally under the influence of the compression spring 75.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 The positioning groove 801 passes through the upper surface of the tank body 1, and the width of the positioning groove 801 gradually narrows from top to bottom. There are multiple groups of connecting blocks 81, and the widths of different connecting blocks 81 are different to adapt to the widths of different positions on the positioning groove 801. The connecting block 81 is plugged into the inner wall of the positioning groove 801, the card block 82 is plugged into the inner wall of the card slot 802, and the limit block 84 is plugged into the inner wall of the limit groove 803. When the limit block 84 and the limit groove 803 are plugged in, the connecting block 81 and the placement frame 74 can be fixed together, limiting The upper surface of the positioning block 84 is set to an arc surface. During the insertion process of the card block 82 and the card slot 802, the arc surface of the limit block 84 will be squeezed, the limit block 84 will move downward, the card slot 802 and the limit slot 803 are connected, one end of the limit spring 83 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the limit block 84, and the other end of the limit spring 83 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the card block 82. The limit block 84 passes through and is slidably connected to the upper surface of the card block 82. When the limit block 84 moves downward, it will squeeze the limit spring 83 to generate a reaction force.
[0039] Working principle: When the device is used, first put the clamping block 82 on the connecting block 81 of the corresponding model into the clamping groove 802 on the placement frame 74 and insert it. During the insertion process, the arc surface of the limiting block 84 will be extruded, and then the limiting block 84 will move downward to extrude the limiting spring 83 to generate a counteracting force, and the limiting block 84 will retract into the clamping block 82 to release the blockage, so that the clamping block 82 and the clamping groove 802 can be completely inserted. When the insertion is completed, the limiting block 84 will be aligned with the limiting groove 803, and the counteracting force of the limiting spring 83 will push the limiting block 84 to move upward. The upward moving limiting block 84 will be inserted into the limiting groove 803, so that the clamping block 82 is fixed on the placement frame 74. At this time, without the influence of external force, the connecting block 81 cannot be separated from the placement frame 74.
[0040] Then place the tea leaves on the placement frame 74 and align the connecting block 81 with the positioning groove 801 and insert it. When it falls into the right position, the connecting block 81 will be limited by the positioning groove 801 and cannot continue to move downward. According to the order from narrow to wide, the connecting block 81 and the positioning groove 801 are inserted in turn, and the multiple placement frames 74 are placed in layers to realize the layered placement of tea leaves, and the withering work can be carried out at the same time to ensure the efficiency.
[0041] Then close the lid 2 and start the fan 3 and the motor 71. After the fan 3 is started, the air flow rate can be accelerated, and then the withering speed of the tea leaves can be accelerated. After the motor 71 is started, the rotating shaft 72 and the positioning plate 73 can be driven to rotate. The rotating positioning plate 73 will extrude the placement frame 74 and drive the placement frame 74 to move upward. When the moving high point is reached, the positioning plate 73 will be separated from the placement frame 74, and the placement frame 74 will fall quickly under the influence of gravity. Under the influence of inertia and the elasticity of the compression spring 75, the placement plate 76 will vibrate longitudinally to turn over the tea leaves, ensuring that the withering progress of different surfaces of the tea leaves is the same. When shaking, the broken tea leaves will fall through the mesh to the inner wall at the bottom end of the tank body 1.
[0042] When the withering work is completed, turn off the fan 3 and the motor 71, then turn on the lid 2 and hang the pull ring 77 to take out the placement frame 74. Collect the withered tea leaves for subsequent use or processing.
[0043] At this time, the valve 6 can be started to discharge the broken tea leaves from the discharge pipe 5, and the broken tea leaves can be collected for centralized processing.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application, although the foregoing embodiments of the present application has been described in detail, for the skilled in the art, it still can be modified, or for part of the technical features of the equivalent replacement, the spirit and principles of the present application, the made any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., should be included within the scope of the present application.
