Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically a novel tea leaf shaping machine. Background Technology
[0002] A tea leaf shaping machine is a specialized piece of machinery used in tea processing. Its main function is to "shape" tea leaves, that is, to process fresh tea leaves into attractive strips through a series of automated processes. It plays a crucial role in the tea-making process.
[0003] Utility model patent CN213819679U discloses a tea-stripping machine. This machine includes a base plate, with a trough frame and a drive mechanism mounted on top of the base plate. The trough frame comprises a trough frame, a trough, a frame shell, and seamless stainless steel heating tubes. The frame shell is positioned above the base plate, with the trough frame above it. The trough is housed within the frame shell, and several seamless stainless steel heating tubes are positioned below the trough. An insulation layer is provided around the inner wall of the frame shell, and a push rod is located at one end of the frame shell. The machine incorporates stainless steel heaters. This structure is not only advanced and efficient but also provides uniform heating.
[0004] Although the tea-stripping machine has the advantage of high heating efficiency, the device still has the following problems in actual use: when taking out the tea, it is still necessary to manually push the tea out of the trough. The trough is still hot after use, and this method of taking out the tea is not only unsafe but also very inconvenient. In view of this, we propose a new type of tea-stripping machine.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0031] This embodiment provides a technical solution:
[0032] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, a novel tea-stripping machine includes a base 1 with a strip-shaped groove 12 on the top and a motor 14 mounted below it. A horizontally movable plate 2 is positioned above the base 1. A connecting block 26 is fixed at the center of the bottom of the movable plate 2, passing through the strip-shaped groove 12. A second hinge seat 27 is fixed at the bottom of the connecting block 26, and a connecting plate 28 is hinged to the second hinge seat 27. A transmission rod 29 is located at the end of the connecting plate 28, passing through and rotatably connected to it. The output shaft of the motor 14 is coaxially keyed to the transmission rod 29. Fixing blocks 20 are fixed on both sides of the top of the movable plate 2 at its front end. An installation groove 21 is provided on the top of the movable plate 2, and a lead screw 22 is rotatably mounted within the installation groove 21. A live thread is threaded onto the lead screw 22. The movable block 23 has a support plate 25 above it, and both ends of the support plate 25 are hinged with first hinge seats 24. The lower first hinge seats 24 are fixed to the movable block 23. The movable plate 2 has a fixed seat 3 above it. The upper first hinge seat 24 is fixed to the bottom of the fixed seat 3. The top of the fixed seat 3 has multiple grooves 30. The front end of the fixed seat 3 is open. A detachable baffle 32 is installed at the front opening of the fixed seat 3. The front end of the fixed seat 3 is fixed with a discharge bin 33. The front end of the discharge bin 33 has a discharge port 330. The bottom front side of the fixed seat 3 has two protrusions 34. The protrusions 34 are rotatably connected to the fixed block 20 by a pin. The top front side of the base 1 is also equipped with a conveyor 4 for conveying tea leaves. The discharge port 330 extends to the top of the conveyor belt of the conveyor 4.
[0033] In this embodiment, a guide rod 13 is fixed inside the strip groove 12. The guide rod 13 passes through the connecting block 26 and is slidably connected to the connecting block 26. The guide rod 13 guides the drainage movement of the connecting block 26, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the horizontal movement of the movable plate 2.
[0034] In this embodiment, support legs 10 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the base 1 by bolts. A side plate 11 is fixed between two adjacent support legs 10. The end of the transmission rod 29 is rotatably connected to the side plate 11. The motor 14 is fixedly connected to the side plate 11 by bolts. The side plate 11 provides support for the motor 14 and the transmission rod 29.
[0035] In this embodiment, the unloading bin 33 is narrow at the front and wide at the rear, and is fixedly connected to the fixing base 3 by bolts. This design facilitates the tea leaves to converge at the discharge port 330, which is beneficial for the discharge of the tea leaves. The bolt fixing method ensures the reliable installation of the unloading bin 33.
[0036] In this embodiment, the middle part of the transmission rod 29 is U-shaped, and the transmission rod 29 is made of galvanized steel. When the U-shaped transmission rod 29 rotates, it facilitates the reciprocating motion of the connecting plate 28, which in turn facilitates the horizontal reciprocating motion of the movable plate 2 through one end of the connecting plate 28. The galvanized steel transmission rod 29 has the advantage of corrosion resistance.
[0037] In this embodiment, the rear end of the lead screw 22 passes through the movable plate 2, and a handwheel is coaxially keyed to the rear end of the lead screw 22. The handwheel facilitates the rotation of the lead screw 22, improving the ease of rotation.
[0038] In this embodiment, the front opening of the fixing base 3 is provided with slots 31 on both the left and right sides, and the two ends of the baffle 32 are inserted into the slots 31. This design facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the baffle 32, making unloading operations easier.
[0039] It should be added that the conveyor 4 in this embodiment is a mechanical device that can continuously, uniformly, and stably transport or convey bulk materials and packaged goods along a certain line. The conveyor generally includes a conveyor belt or chain, a carrier such as rollers, a transmission device, a support frame, idlers (for belt conveyors), head and tail devices, flow regulating gates as needed, and a control system. The working principle of the conveyor is to drive the carrier such as the conveyor belt, chain, rollers, etc. through the transmission device to complete the material transport. The above are existing conventional technologies and will not be described in detail here. In this embodiment, the use of conveyor 4 is convenient for transporting the tea leaves after they have been sorted.
[0040] It is worth noting that the motor involved in this embodiment is a conventional technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0041] In actual use, the user first pours the tea leaves into the multiple grooves 30, and then the user turns on the power of the motor 14. The motor 14 starts to work, and the output shaft of the motor 14 rotates, driving the transmission rod 29 to rotate. The transmission rod 29 drives the connecting plate 28 to move, and the connecting plate 28 drives the connecting block 26 to slide back and forth along the guide rod 13. At the same time, the connecting block 26 drives the movable plate 2 to move back and forth horizontally, and the movable plate 2 drives the fixed seat 3 to move back and forth horizontally. Under the action of inertia, the tea leaves roll in the grooves 30.
[0042] In practical use, the user first pushes the baffle 32 upward, causing it to disengage from the slot 31. Then, the user turns the handwheel, which drives the lead screw 22 to rotate. As the lead screw 22 rotates, the movable block 23 moves horizontally and drives the support plate 25 to move. The support plate 25 gradually tilts, at which point it pushes the fixed seat 3 to tilt forward. As the fixed seat 3 tilts, the sorted tea leaves fall through multiple grooves 30 onto the conveyor belt of the conveyor 4. Finally, the user turns on the power to the conveyor 4, and the conveyor belt carries the sorted tea leaves to the collection point.
[0043] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
