Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically to tea cleaning equipment used in tea processing. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese tea culture has a long history and profound depth, spanning thousands of years. It is an important part of China's outstanding culture. Tea leaves refer to the leaves and buds of the tea tree, and generally refer to the leaves of the evergreen shrub tea tree that can be used to brew tea. During the processing and production of tea leaves, cleaning equipment is required to clean them.

[0003] However, tea cleaning mainly relies on simple soaking and stirring. During the cleaning process, some impurities often adhere to the surface of the tea leaves or become trapped in the folds. Soaking and stirring with water alone are insufficient to completely remove these impurities, making it difficult to achieve the desired cleaning effect. Moreover, using mechanical stirring may damage the tea leaves, affecting their final appearance.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a new type of tea cleaning equipment for tea processing. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a tea cleaning device for tea processing, including a cleaning shell 1, an air jet pipe 14 fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning shell 1, the air jet pipe 14 penetrating the side wall of the cleaning shell 1, the air jet pipe 14 being L-shaped, a high-pressure air pump 16 fixedly connected to one end of the air jet pipe 14, and multiple sets of air jet nozzles 15 fixedly connected to the air jet pipe 14, each set of air jet nozzles 15 being distributed in a ring.

[0025] Multiple mounting plates 2 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning housing 1. Hydraulic cylinders 3 are fixedly connected to the side wall of each mounting plate 2. A connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of each hydraulic cylinder 3. A cleaning motor 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the connecting plate 4. A rotating plate 9 is rotatably connected to the output end of the cleaning motor 8. Multiple tea leaf placement frames 5 are provided inside the cleaning housing 1. The multiple tea leaf placement frames 5 are connected to each other by a fixing plate 6. The upper tea leaf placement frame 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating plate 9.

[0026] A water outlet pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the cleaning housing 1, and a valve is provided on the water outlet pipe 18.

[0027] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, an annular water pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning housing 1, and multiple branch pipes 12 are fixedly connected to the annular water pipe 11. The multiple branch pipes 12 all penetrate the side wall of the cleaning housing 1, and multiple spray nozzles 13 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the multiple branch pipes 12. A water pump 25 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the annular water pipe 11. The multiple branch pipes 12 are distributed in an annular pattern inside the cleaning housing 1.

[0028] It should be noted that this method allows water to be injected into the cleaning housing 1, which in turn washes away impurities on the tea leaves immediately, reducing cleaning time later.

[0029] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a separation block 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the water outlet pipe 18. A separation cavity 19 is opened inside the separation block 17. A rotating rod 20 is provided inside the separation cavity 19. Multiple filter screens 21 are fixedly connected to the rotating rod 20. A water outlet hole 22 and a slag discharge hole 23 are opened on the separation block 17. A rotating motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the separation block 17. The output end of the rotating motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 20. A filter screen 24 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the water outlet hole 22. The shape and size of the filter screen 24 are adapted to the upper end of the water outlet hole 22.

[0030] It should be noted that the rotating filter screen 21 can separate the washed water from the washed impurities. The separated water can be reused, and water recycling reduces resource waste. The function of the filter screen 24 is to prevent impurities from entering the water outlet 22.

[0031] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0032] Bubble blowing cleaning:

[0033] During the cleaning process, a high-pressure air pump 16 delivers gas into the jet pipe 14, which is then blown out through the jet nozzle 15. This causes the air to form tiny bubbles in the water. As these bubbles rise in the water, they penetrate deep into the folds and crevices of the tea leaves, thoroughly removing impurities and contaminants hidden within. Simultaneously, the impact force of the bubbles and the high-pressure zone effectively remove stubborn stains from the surface of the tea leaves, resulting in cleaner and more hygienic tea. Because the bubbles rise rapidly, they can contact a large amount of tea leaf surface in a short time, greatly improving cleaning efficiency. The principle of blowing air into the water to aid cleaning relies primarily on the impact force of the bubbles to clean the tea leaves, causing minimal mechanical damage and better preserving the integrity and quality of the tea.

[0034] Pour water into the tea leaves and rinse them:

[0035] Water is pumped from outside into the annular water pipe 11 by the water pump 25, then distributed into multiple branch pipes 12, and finally sprayed onto the tea leaves in the tea leaf placement frame 5 through multiple spray nozzles 13. The cleaning motor 8 is started, and the output end of the cleaning motor 8 rotates, causing the rotating plate 9 to rotate, which in turn causes the tea leaf placement frame 5 to rotate. In this way, all the tea leaves in the tea leaf placement frame 5 can be rinsed. In this way, water can be injected into the cleaning housing 1, and impurities on the tea leaves can be rinsed off in time, reducing the time for subsequent cleaning.

[0036] Filtration of water after washing:

[0037] The rotation of the rotating rod 20 causes multiple filter screens 21 to rotate as well. When the washing water flows down through the outlet pipe 18, the rotating rod 20 filters out impurities in the water. The filtered water, under its own gravity, is discharged into the external water tank through the outlet hole 22 and can be used for the next tea washing. The impurities remaining on the filter screens 21 rotate with the rotation of the filter screens 21. When the filter screens 21 are tilted, the impurities roll downwards under their own gravity and are finally discharged through the slag discharge hole 23. The function of the filter screen 24 is to prevent impurities from entering the outlet hole 22. The impact force of the water can wash off the impurities adhering to the filter screens 21 and then carry them to the slag discharge hole 23 for discharge through the rotating filter screens 21.

[0038] To prevent tea leaves from spilling out, each tea leaf placement frame 5 is equipped with a sealing cap, which is secured by existing clips.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
