Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea transportation equipment, specifically to a tea lifting and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, tea lifting machines refer to transportation mechanisms that lift tea leaves to a certain height. However, existing transportation mechanisms sometimes result in tea leaves piling up too high during transportation. If the tea leaves are piled up for too long, they are prone to turning yellow and reducing their quality.

[0003] A search revealed that the application, CN219928818U, entitled "A Tea Elevator," proposes a method where existing conveyors are equipped with a material-dispersing rod. The rotating rod disperses the tea leaves, preventing accumulation. However, this method can damage the tea leaves, leading to a decrease in quality. A flexible belt system can quickly push tea leaves with a thickness exceeding the gap size to the next transport position, reducing excessive accumulation and eliminating the need for overall tea dispersion to minimize damage. However, this application still uses a traditional feeding hopper, which is prone to uneven feeding, resulting in uneven tea distribution and affecting the uniformity of subsequent processing. The flexible belt can only push tea leaves exceeding the partition height, making it difficult to handle tea leaves smaller than the partition height, affecting the uniformity and stability of the conveyor. This application has significant limitations and warrants further improvement.

[0004] There are currently no effective solutions to the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a tea leaf lifting and conveying device, which has the advantages of improving the stability and uniformity of the conveying, thereby solving the problems in the background art mentioned above.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the aforementioned advantages of improved transmission stability and uniformity, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0009] A tea leaf lifting and conveying device includes a conveying trough and a drive roller. The drive roller is rotatably connected to both ends of the conveying trough, and a conveyor belt is sleeved on the outside of the drive roller. A partition is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the conveyor belt. A hopper is mounted above the bottom of the conveying trough, and a feeding channel is connected through the bottom surface of the hopper. A distributing channel is connected through the bottom surface of the feeding channel. A rotating rod is rotatably connected inside the distributing channel, and a distributing plate is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating rod. A first stepper motor is fixedly installed on the front of the distributing channel, and the output end of the first stepper motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod. A discharge channel is connected through the bottom surface of the distributing channel. A second stepper motor is fixedly installed at one end of the conveying trough, and the output end of the second stepper motor is fixedly connected to the roller shaft at the installation end of the drive roller.

[0010] Furthermore, flexible rods are fixedly connected between the partitions on the outer wall of the conveyor belt, and the flexible rods are densely and evenly distributed.

[0011] Furthermore, the length of the flexible rod is not less than half the height of the partition, and the spacing between the flexible rods is not greater than the maximum size of the tea leaves.

[0012] Furthermore, a discharge port is provided on the bottom surface of the other end of the conveying trough, and the conveying trough is arranged at an angle.

[0013] Furthermore, multiple sets of the material distribution plates are arranged at equal angles along the rotating rod, and the material distribution plates slide against the inner wall of the material distribution channel.

[0014] Furthermore, the first stepper motor and the second stepper motor operate synchronously.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a tea leaf lifting and conveying device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] (1) This utility model adopts a first stepper motor, a second stepper motor, a hopper and a distribution plate. When lifting and feeding tea, the tea can be put into the hopper and fall into the distribution plate. As the first stepper motor rotates, the distribution plate rotates and discharges an equal amount of tea into the corresponding partition below through the discharge channel. This ensures that the amount of tea between the partitions is approximately the same, which improves the stability and uniformity of continuous feeding and conveying. In addition, the amount of tea discharged from the discharge channel each time is less than the volume between the partitions, which avoids accumulation beyond the partitions and further improves the stability of the conveying.

[0018] (2) The present invention uses flexible rods, which are distributed between the partitions and located on the outer surface of the conveyor belt. The flexible rods increase the friction between the tea leaves and the conveyor belt, thereby reducing the phenomenon of the tea leaves falling and accumulating when they fall between the partitions, and further improving the uniformity of tea leaf transmission.

[0026] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings, which are part of the disclosure of the present invention. These drawings are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are usually used to represent similar components.

[0027] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a tea leaf lifting and conveying device is provided.

[0028] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figure 1-4As shown, a tea lifting and conveying device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a conveying trough 1 and a drive roller 3. The drive roller 3 is rotatably connected to both ends of the conveying trough 1, and a conveyor belt 2 is sleeved on the outside of the drive roller 3. A partition plate 4 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 2. A hopper 7 is mounted above the bottom of the conveying trough 1, and a feeding channel 10 is connected through the bottom surface of the hopper 7. A distributing channel 8 is connected through the bottom surface of the feeding channel 10. A rotating rod 9 is rotatably connected inside the distributing channel 8, and a distributing plate 11 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating rod 9. A first stepper motor 13 is fixedly installed on the front surface of the distributing channel 8, and the output end of the first stepper motor 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 9. The bottom surface of the distributing channel 8 is open to the rotating rod 9. The conveyor trough 1 is connected to a discharge channel 12. A second stepper motor 14 is fixedly installed at one end of the conveyor trough 1, and the output end of the second stepper motor 14 is fixedly connected to the roller shaft at the mounting end of the drive roller 3. When the tea is being lifted and fed, the tea can be put into the hopper 7 and fall into the space between the dividing plates 11. As the first stepper motor 13 rotates, the dividing plates 11 rotate, and an equal amount of tea is rotated out of the discharge channel 12 and falls into the space between the corresponding partitions 4 below. This ensures that the amount of tea between the partitions 4 is approximately the same, which improves the stability and uniformity of continuous feeding and conveying. In addition, the amount of tea discharged from the discharge channel 12 each time is less than the volume between the partitions 4, which avoids accumulation beyond the partitions 4 and further improves the stability of the conveying.

[0029] In one embodiment, flexible rods 6 are fixedly connected between the partitions 4 on the outer wall of the conveyor belt 2, and the flexible rods 6 are densely and evenly distributed. The length of the flexible rods 6 is not less than half the height of the partition 4, and the spacing between the flexible rods 6 is not greater than the maximum size of the tea leaves. The flexible rods 6 are made of silicone. The flexible rods 6 are distributed between the partitions 4 and located on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 2. The flexible rods 6 increase the friction between the tea leaves and the conveyor belt 2, thereby reducing the phenomenon of tea leaves sliding down and accumulating when they fall between the partitions 4, and further improving the uniformity of tea leaf transmission.

[0030] In one embodiment, a discharge port 5 is provided on the bottom surface of the other end of the conveying trough 1, and the conveying trough 1 is arranged at an angle to facilitate lifting and transmission.

[0031] In one embodiment, multiple sets of distributing plates 11 are arranged at equal angles along the rotating rod 9, and the distributing plates 11 slide against the inner wall of the distributing channel 8 to prevent tea leaves from leaking out when the distributing plates 11 are not rotating.

[0032] In one embodiment, the first stepper motor 13 and the second stepper motor 14 operate synchronously, improving the stability of the operation and the continuity of the coordination.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] When conveying tea leaves, the tea leaves can be fed into the hopper 7 and fall between the distribution plates 11. As the first stepper motor 13 rotates, the distribution plates 11 rotate, discharging an equal amount of tea leaves through the discharge channel 12 into the corresponding partitions 4 below. This ensures that the amount of tea leaves between the partitions 4 is approximately the same, improving the stability and uniformity of continuous feeding and conveying. Furthermore, the amount of tea leaves discharged from the discharge channel 12 each time is less than the volume between the partitions 4, preventing accumulation beyond the partitions 4 and further improving the stability of the conveying. At the same time, the flexible rods 6 are distributed between the partitions 4 and located on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 2. The flexible rods 6 increase the friction between the tea leaves and the conveyor belt 2, thereby reducing the phenomenon of downward sliding and accumulation when the tea leaves fall between the partitions 4, further improving the uniformity of tea leaf conveying.
