Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea production and processing technology, specifically a cleaning device for tea production and processing. Background Technology

[0002] Tea leaves, commonly known as tea, generally include the leaves and buds of the tea plant. Tea contains catechins, cholesterol, caffeine, inositol, folic acid, and pantothenic acid, which are beneficial to health. Tea beverages are one of the world's three major beverages. The tea processing process first requires washing fresh tea leaves. However, existing tea washing equipment usually involves placing the tea leaves in a washing tank and stirring them. After washing, the tea leaves still need to be manually removed, which is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and laborious. Moreover, the stirring process can easily damage the integrity of the tea leaves, making it impractical.

[0003] In response, a search revealed that publication number CN215965183U discloses a tea cleaning device for tea production and processing. The device includes a base, a cleaning box fixedly connected to the top of the base, a cleaning sieve inside the cleaning box, a discharge port on the front of the cleaning sieve, and a discharge plate hinged inside the discharge port. Two filter screens are laterally slidably connected inside the cleaning sieve, and linear slide rails are fixedly installed on one side of each filter screen. Electric push rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the cleaning box, and the output ends of the two electric push rods are fixedly connected to sliding blocks on the two linear slide rails. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning sieve. The device works by moving the filter screens closer together to concentrate the tea leaves, then using the hydraulic cylinder to push the cleaning sieve out of the cleaning box, and finally opening the discharge plate to remove the tea leaves, thus improving the efficiency of tea cleaning.

[0004] The aforementioned technology discloses a tea processing cleaning device that uses a cleaning sieve inside a cleaning tank to hold the tea leaves. The tea leaves are then washed by agitating water below the sieve, preventing breakage and ensuring the integrity of the leaves. After washing, the tea leaves are pushed upwards for easy removal by personnel, eliminating the need for manual retrieval. However, this device has the following drawbacks: 1. The tea leaves still contain a large amount of water after washing, and the device cannot automatically and quickly dehydrate them, resulting in a limited effectiveness. 2. While the method of pushing the tea leaves to the top for easy removal still requires manual retrieval, it cannot automatically discharge and collect the tea leaves after washing, making it inconvenient to use. Therefore, this application proposes a tea processing cleaning device. Utility Model Content

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 to 3 As shown in the figure, the tea production and processing cleaning device proposed in this embodiment includes a U-shaped support plate 1.

The water receiving tank 4 is used to receive the discharged water. The drain valve is used to discharge the water collected in the water receiving tank 4.

[0025] A filter cartridge 6 with an open top is rotatably mounted on the inner top wall of the cleaning tank 2. A circular perforation is provided on the inner top wall of the cleaning tank 2, and a support bearing is fixedly fitted inside the perforation. The inner ring of the support bearing is fixedly fitted to the outer side of the filter cartridge 6, thus enabling the filter cartridge 6 to be rotatably mounted. A U-shaped seat 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank 2. A one-way blowing rotary drive assembly, communicating and fixed to the filter cartridge 6, is rotatably mounted on the inner bottom wall of the cleaning tank 2. Stirring rods 12 located below the filter cartridge 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the one-way blowing rotary drive assembly. An air pump 13 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the U-shaped seat 7. The one-way blowing rotary drive assembly is rotatably fitted onto the air outlet end of the air pump 13. A rotary drive assembly located inside the U-shaped seat 7 is fixedly fitted onto the one-way blowing rotary drive assembly. The bottom of the U-shaped seat 7... A drive motor 16 with an output shaft fixedly connected to a rotary drive assembly is fixedly installed. A tea collection box 100 is movably placed on the bottom inner wall of the U-shaped support plate 1. The tea collection box 100 is located below the filter cartridge 6. Water is supplied directly from the top and tea leaves are added using the filter cartridge 6. The longitudinal rotation of the cleaning box 2 and the filter cartridge 6 is driven by the brake motor 5. The rotary drive assembly is used to drive the unidirectional blowing rotary drive assembly to rotate when the drive motor 16 is started. The unidirectional blowing rotary drive assembly is used to drive the filter cartridge 6 and the stirring rod 12 to rotate for safe rotation cleaning. It is also used to quickly centrifuge and dehydrate the tea leaves after drainage, and to automatically blow the tea leaves when the rotation is downward and the air pump 13 is turned on. The tea collection box 100 is used to collect the tea leaves when they are blown downward.

[0026] Specifically, the one-way blow-off swirl drive assembly includes a rotating tube 8 that is sealed and rotatably embedded in the inner wall of the bottom of the cleaning tank 2. A circular hole is provided on the inner wall of the bottom of the cleaning tank 2, and a first sealing bearing is fixedly fitted inside the hole. The inner ring of the first sealing bearing is fixedly fitted to the outer side of the rotating tube 8, achieving a sealed rotatable installation of the rotating tube 8. The rotating tube 8 is sealed and rotatably fitted onto the outlet end of the air pump 13, and a second sealing bearing is fixedly fitted inside the rotating tube 8. The inner ring of the second sealing bearing is fixedly fitted to the outer side of the outlet end of the air pump 13, achieving a sealed rotatable installation of the rotating tube 8 from the inside. A one-way valve 9 with an outlet at the top is fixedly connected between the bottom of the filter cartridge 6 and the top of the rotating tube 8. The top of the one-way valve 9 is connected to a gas distribution pipe 10 with a sealing structure at the top. The top of the gas distribution pipe 10 extends into the filter cartridge 6, and both the top and outer side of the gas distribution pipe 10 are connected to... Multiple upwardly inclined air-blowing pipes 11 are fixedly arranged, and the near ends of two stirring rods 12 are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the rotating pipe 8. The rotating pipe 8, one-way valve 9, air distribution pipe 10 and air-blowing pipes 11 work together. When the rotating pipe 8 rotates, it drives the stirring rods 12 to rotate, and through the one-way valve 9, it drives the filter cartridge 6 to rotate horizontally as a whole. The stirring rods 12 agitate the water at the bottom, and the rotation of the filter cartridge 6 drives the water and tea leaves inside to rotate and mix, forming a cleaning process. The water rotation cleaning method will not cause the tea leaves to be broken, achieving a safe cleaning process. After the water is drained, the horizontally rotating filter cartridge 6 can quickly dehydrate the tea leaves by centrifugation. When the filter cartridge 6 rotates vertically downwards, the air pump 13 supplies air unidirectionally into the air distribution pipe 10 through the rotating pipe 8 and the one-way valve 9. The air is automatically blown downwards and discharged from the tea leaves through multiple air-blowing pipes 11.

[0027] Furthermore, the rotary drive assembly includes an external gear ring 14 fixedly sleeved on the bottom of the outer side of the rotating tube 8. A gear 15 meshes with the right side of the external gear ring 14. The bottom of the gear 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the output shaft of the drive motor 16. Both the gear 15 and the external gear ring 14 are located inside the U-shaped seat 7. The external gear ring 14 and the gear 15 cooperate, and the drive motor 16 drives the gear 15 to rotate. The gear 15 drives the rotating tube 8 to rotate through the external gear ring 14.

[0028] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows: When using the tea production and processing cleaning device, water is added to the filter cylinder 6. The water is filtered out through the filter cylinder 6 and flows into the cleaning tank 2. After both the cleaning tank 2 and the filter cylinder 6 contain water, the tea leaves to be cleaned are poured into the filter cylinder 6. The drive motor 16 is started to drive the gear 15 to rotate. The gear 15 drives the rotating tube 8 to rotate through the external gear ring 14. The rotating tube 8 drives the stirring rod 12 and the one-way valve 9 to rotate. The one-way valve 9 drives the filter cylinder 6 to rotate. The stirring rod 12 stirs the water at the bottom. The rotation of the filter cylinder 6 causes the water and tea leaves inside to rotate and mix, forming a cleaning process. Because the stirring rod 12 does not directly contact the tea leaves, it will not cause the tea leaves to break, thus achieving a safe cleaning process.

[0029] After cleaning, open the drain valve 3 to drain the water in the cleaning tank 2 into the water receiving tank 4. After the water is drained, start the drive motor 16 again to make the filter cylinder 6 rotate again. At this time, the rotating filter cylinder 6 can quickly centrifuge and throw the water in the tea leaves out, achieving the effect of automatic and rapid centrifugal dehydration of the tea leaves after cleaning, thus improving the usage effect.

[0030] After dehydration, the operator reverses the start of the brake motor 5 to drive the cleaning tank 2 to rotate longitudinally. When the cleaning tank 2 rotates the filter cartridge 6 downwards, the tea leaves fall directly downwards and are collected in the tea leaf collection box 100. The operator then starts the air pump 13 to supply air unidirectionally to the air distribution pipe 10 through the rotating pipe 8 and the one-way valve 9. The air is blown out into the filter cartridge 6 through multiple air blowing pipes 11, which can blow the tea leaves that remain attached to the filter cartridge 6 downwards. This achieves the effect of automatically blowing out and collecting the tea leaves after use, eliminating the need for manual collection and improving the convenience and automation of use. After discharge, the operator reverses the start of the brake motor 5 to drive the cleaning tank 2 to rotate back. The cleaning tank 2 rotates the filter cartridge 6 back to the upwards, and the cleaning process can continue.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
