Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of tea processing equipment, and in particular, it is a fresh tea feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] Fresh tea leaves refer to the tender leaves of the tea plant that have just been picked. They are typically processed into various types of tea after simple treatment. Fresh tea leaves have the following characteristics: High freshness: Fresh tea leaves have not been stored for a long time, retaining their natural aroma and nutrients. Moisture content: Fresh tea leaves have a high moisture content, usually around 70%, which requires special attention to temperature and time control during processing to prevent fermentation or spoilage. Tenderness: Fresh tea leaves are generally composed of the new buds and tender leaves of the tea plant; the higher the tenderness, the better the quality and taste of the tea. In the tea processing process, the feeding of raw materials is a crucial step, directly affecting the processing quality and the final taste of the tea product. Currently, many tea processing plants still use traditional feeding methods, usually pouring fresh tea leaves directly into the processing equipment. While this method is simple, it has significant drawbacks.
[0003] Directly pouring fresh tea leaves can easily lead to accumulation and uneven distribution within the processing equipment. This accumulation not only affects the uniform heating and steeping of the tea leaves but may also result in some leaves being over-processed while others are under-processed, leading to inconsistent taste and aroma in the finished product. Secondly, traditional feeding methods place high demands on operators. Due to the moisture and weight of the tea leaves, manual feeding is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also easily causes worker fatigue, increasing labor costs and safety hazards in the production process. With the diversification of tea market demand and the expansion of production scale, traditional feeding methods can no longer meet the efficiency requirements of modern production. To improve production efficiency, reduce material loss, and optimize the tea processing flow, it is urgent to develop a new type of feeding device to solve the above problems and achieve efficient and uniform feeding of fresh tea leaves.
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fresh tea leaf feeding device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fresh tea leaf feeding device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a fresh tea leaf feeding device, comprising a mounting base, wherein a mounting bracket is welded and fixed to the top of the mounting base, and a moving component is provided on the top of the mounting bracket to prevent the accumulation of fresh tea leaves during feeding;
[0007] The motion component includes a mounting platform welded and fixed to the top of a mounting bracket. A mounting plate is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting platform, and a motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate. The output end of the motor passes through the mounting plate and is connected to a first mounting disc. One end of a belt is driven to the outside of the first mounting disc, and the other end of the belt is driven to a second mounting disc. The second mounting disc is rotatably connected to the top of the mounting plate. An eccentric column is mounted on the top of the second mounting disc at an off-center position. One end of a connecting rod is connected to the top of the eccentric column, and the other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to a connecting column.
[0008] Furthermore, a placement platform is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting column, and sliding grooves are symmetrically opened on both sides of the installation platform, with two sets of pulleys slidably connected in each sliding groove.
[0009] Furthermore, one end of a mounting column is connected to one side of each set of pulleys, and a connecting block is installed at the other end of the mounting column. The connecting block is welded to the placement platform.
[0010] Furthermore, the top of the placement platform is provided with an installation groove for placing fresh tea leaves, and the placement platform is set at an angle.
[0011] Furthermore, a U-shaped first baffle for preventing fresh tea leaves from sliding off the placement platform is fixedly installed in the mounting groove, and a V-shaped second baffle is connected to one side of the baffle.
[0012] Furthermore, a tea-processing machine for treating fresh tea leaves is fixedly installed inside the mounting base, and the tea-processing machine has a feed inlet on its top.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This invention incorporates a motion component. When the motor starts, it drives the eccentric column on the second mounting plate to rotate. This eccentric column then moves the connecting column, causing the placement platform containing fresh tea leaves to vibrate repeatedly. This ensures that the tea leaves are evenly distributed at the discharge port, preventing uneven processing due to accumulation, improving product quality, accelerating tea leaf feeding, increasing overall production efficiency, and shortening the production cycle. Furthermore, the inclusion of a first and second baffle prevents the fresh tea leaves from slipping off the placement platform during the motion component's operation, thus reducing losses.

[0022] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.
[0023] Unless otherwise defined, the directions of up, down, left, right, front, back, inside and outside involved in this document are based on the directions of up, down, left, right, front, back, inside and outside shown in the figures of the present invention, and are explained here together.
[0024] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 3As shown, a fresh tea leaf feeding device includes a mounting base 1, a mounting bracket 4 welded and fixed to the top of the mounting base 1, and a tea-processing machine 2 for processing fresh tea leaves fixedly installed inside the mounting base 1. The tea-processing machine 2 is a device well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. The top of the tea-processing machine 2 has a feeding port 3.
[0026] The top of the mounting bracket 4 is equipped with a moving component to prevent the accumulation of fresh tea leaves during feeding. The moving component includes a mounting platform 19 welded and fixed to the top of the mounting bracket 4. A mounting plate 5 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting platform 19, and a motor 6 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate 5. The output end of the motor 6 passes through the mounting plate 5 and is connected to a first mounting disc 7. One end of a belt 8 is driven and connected to the outside of the first mounting disc 7, and the other end of the belt 8 is driven and connected to a second mounting disc 9. The second mounting disc 9 is rotatably connected to the top of the mounting plate 5. An eccentric column 10 is installed off-center on the top of the second mounting disc 9. One end of a connecting rod 11 is connected to the top of the eccentric column 10, and the other end of the connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to a connecting column 13. The motor 6 drives the first mounting disc 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the second mounting disc 9 to rotate, thereby driving the eccentric column 10 to move the connecting rod. The eccentric column 10 performs eccentric movement, which drives the placement table 16 to move repeatedly, thereby preventing the tea leaves from accumulating and allowing them to enter the withering machine 1 in an orderly manner.
[0027] A placement platform 16 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting column 13. The mounting platform 19 has symmetrical sliding grooves 20 on both sides. Two sets of pulleys 21 are slidably connected in each sliding groove 20. One end of the mounting column 14 is connected to one side of each set of pulleys 21. A connecting block 15 is installed at the other end of the mounting column 14. The connecting block 15 is welded to the placement platform 16. The top of the placement platform 16 has a mounting groove 12 for placing fresh tea leaves. The placement platform 16 is set at an inclination. A U-shaped first baffle 17 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 12 to prevent fresh tea leaves from sliding off the placement platform 16. A V-shaped second baffle 18 is connected to one side of the baffle. The V-shaped second baffle 18 can align the fresh tea leaves with the feed inlet 3 and enter. The tilt of the placement platform 16 will align it directly above the feed inlet 3.
[0028] The motor 6 and the blanching machine 2 are existing technologies. Their working principles, dimensions, and models are irrelevant to the problems solved by this application, so they will not be described in detail. The control method of this utility model is through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by a person skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
[0029] Working principle: Fresh tea leaves are placed into the mounting slot 12 on the placement platform 16, within the first baffle 17 and the second baffle 18. Then, the motor 6 at the bottom of the mounting plate 5 is started simultaneously. The motor 6 drives the first mounting plate 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the belt 8 to rotate, thereby driving the second mounting plate 9 to rotate. The second mounting plate 9 then drives the eccentric column 10 to rotate, which in turn pulls the connecting rod 11 to move, which in turn pulls the connecting column 13 to move, which in turn pulls the placement platform 16 to move. The placement platform 16 then drives the connecting block 15 and the mounting column 14 to move, which in turn drives the pulley 21 to slide in the sliding groove 20 within the mounting platform 19, thus orderly pouring the fresh tea leaves into the feed inlet 3 of the fixing machine 2 for processing.
