Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing, specifically a tea drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] Tea processing is the process of producing tea varieties and storing tea for a long time. Through different tea processing steps, tea can have different tastes. Among the many steps in tea processing, one is drying the tea leaves. Drying the tea leaves removes moisture, making them easier to store and improving their quality.

[0003] Currently, tea drying is mostly done using tea drying machines. An existing tea drying machine, such as the one described in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN221992263U, includes a drying machine body, support legs at the bottom, an inlet / outlet at the front, and an exhaust pipe, air chamber, air vents, hot air blower, air duct, base, wheels, cover plate, horizontal plate, multiple springs, fixing plate, vibration motor, vertical plate, multiple storage sieves, and guide module at the top. The tea drying machine of this invention not only meets the basic requirements for drying tea but also allows users to quickly place and remove multiple tea-holding structures from the drying machine. The operations of placing and removing tea from the structures are all performed outside the drying machine, enabling continuous operation and improving the efficiency of tea drying.

[0004] However, in actual use, the tea drying machine mentioned above has an open-type storage frame. During the subsequent drying process, when the storage frame vibrates violently due to the vibration motor, the tea leaves in the storage frame are easily shaken out, resulting in tea contamination and loss. This will undoubtedly increase the manufacturer's processing costs. In order to reduce costs, it is urgent to improve the existing tea drying machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tea drying machine to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a tea drying machine, comprising a main body, a push seat, and a vibrating base, wherein a transmission seat is slidably connected to the outer wall of the vibrating base at the top of the vibrating base, and a mounting seat for mounting a storage frame is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the transmission seat, and a storage frame is detachably mounted on the outer wall of the mounting seat.

[0007] The outer wall of the transmission seat is provided with a top plate that is slidably connected to the top of the storage frame, and the end of the top plate is equipped with a protruding tooth. The outer wall of the transmission seat is provided with a tooth groove corresponding to the protruding tooth.

[0008] A positioning post is slidably installed at the end of the top plate, and a positioning hole corresponding to the positioning post is opened on the outer wall of the mounting base. When the positioning post enters the positioning hole, the position of the top plate is fixed.

[0009] The top plate is equipped with a drive mechanism for driving the positioning column.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the tea leaves inside the storage frame are effectively prevented from spilling due to vibration during the drying process, thus reducing tea contamination and loss and lowering the manufacturer's processing costs.

[0011] Furthermore, a slider is installed on the outer wall of the mounting base, and a groove corresponding to the slider is opened on the outer wall of the transmission base, with the top opening of the groove located at the top of the transmission base.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, users can remove the mounting base from the transmission base, allowing users to flexibly adjust the number of mounting bases according to actual needs.

[0013] Furthermore, an extension block is installed on the outer wall of the storage frame, and the extension block has a U-shaped design. A connecting groove corresponding to the shape of the extension block is opened in the bottom of the top plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the top plate can better cover the top of the storage frame during the drying process, effectively preventing tea leaves from overflowing from the top.

[0015] Furthermore, the positioning post has a T-shaped cross-section, and the bottom corner of the positioning post and the top opening corner of the positioning hole are both designed with bevels.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation and positioning of the top plate are facilitated, enabling the top plate to be firmly fixed on the storage frame, ensuring effective shielding of the storage frame, and improving the reliability of the device.

[0017] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a spring installed inside the top plate and connected to the positioning post, and a pull rope passing through the top of the top plate is also installed on the top of the positioning post.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the operation is simple and convenient, and the insertion and removal of the positioning column can be achieved quickly, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the top plate and improves work efficiency.

[0019] Furthermore, the drive mechanism also includes a handle that is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the top plate, and the handle is connected to the end of the pull rope near the outer wall of the top plate. The slidable length of the handle is greater than the length of the positioning post located in the positioning hole and less than the length of the positioning post.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to ensure that the positioning post is fully inserted into the top plate, and the pull handle can be easily pushed to make the positioning post enter the positioning hole when needed, thereby improving the flexibility and practicality of the drive mechanism.

[0021] Furthermore, the cross-section of the protruding tooth is designed as a right-angled triangle, and the top of the protruding tooth is a plane. The outer wall on the side near the transmission seat is an inclined surface that slopes towards the bottom of the top plate. Multiple sets of protruding teeth and tooth grooves are provided at equal intervals at the end of the top plate and the outer wall of the transmission seat.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the top plate can be positioned more accurately when connected to the storage frame, which further enhances the stability of the top plate, prevents it from shifting during the drying process, and ensures the protection of the tea leaves.

[0023] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0024] This utility model, by setting a top plate and movable mounting seats, allows for adjustment of the spacing between multiple sets of mounting seats. This ensures that the tops of multiple sets of storage frames are shielded by the storage frame above them, effectively preventing tea leaves from spilling out of the storage frames due to vibration during the drying process. This reduces tea contamination and loss, lowering processing costs for manufacturers. Simultaneously, the top plate shields the top opening of the topmost storage frame, further minimizing tea contamination and loss. Furthermore, the storage frames are easy to install and can be stably placed on the transmission base, ensuring smooth drying and improving the efficiency of the tea dryer. The entire device has a simple structural design, tight fit between components, is easy to operate, maintain, and replace, exhibiting high reliability and practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] This utility model provides a tea drying machine, which mainly solves the problem that in the existing tea drying machine, the tea leaves are easily shaken out during the drying process because the storage frame 6 is open, causing tea leaf contamination and loss, and increasing the processing cost of the manufacturer. Its core innovation lies in the structural design of the storage frame 6 and the top plate 7 to achieve effective sealing of the storage frame 6.

[0032] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0033] A tea drying machine, such as Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this tea drying machine mainly includes a main body 1, a pusher seat 2, and a vibrating base 3;

[0034] The transmission base 4 is installed on the top of the vibration base 3. The mounting base 5 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the transmission base 4. The storage frame 6 is detachably installed on the outer wall of the mounting base 5. This structural design allows the storage frame 6 to be stably installed on the transmission base 4 and to move with the movement of the transmission base 4, providing a basis for subsequent drying operations.

[0035] For example, a slider 51 is installed on the outer wall of the mounting base 5, and a groove 52 corresponding to the slider 51 is opened on the outer wall of the transmission base 4. The mounting base 5 is slidably connected to the transmission base 4 through the slider 51 and the groove 52, thereby ensuring the stability of the mounting base 5 when sliding. Since the top opening of the groove 52 is located at the top of the transmission base 4, the user can push the mounting base 5 upward to push the slider 51 out from the top opening of the groove 52, and the mounting base 5 can be removed from the transmission base 4. This allows the user to flexibly adjust the number of mounting bases 5 according to actual needs.

[0036] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the transmission seat 4 is provided with a top plate 7 that is slidably connected to the top of the storage frame 6. An extension block 61 is installed on the outer wall of the storage frame 6, and the extension block 61 is U-shaped. At the same time, a connecting groove 62 corresponding to the shape of the extension block 61 is opened in the bottom of the top plate 7. Through the tight cooperation between the extension block 61 and the connecting groove 62, the top plate 7 can be stably connected to the top of the storage frame 6, effectively preventing tea leaves from overflowing from the top.

[0037] For example, the top plate 7 is equipped with a tooth 8 at its end, and the outer wall of the transmission seat 4 is provided with a tooth groove 9 corresponding to the tooth 8. The tooth 8 has a right-angled triangular cross section, and the top of the tooth 8 is flat. The outer wall of the side near the transmission seat 4 is an inclined surface that slopes towards the bottom of the top plate 7. Multiple sets of tooth 8 and tooth groove 9 are provided at equal intervals at the end of the top plate 7 and the outer wall of the transmission seat 4. When the top plate 7 slides towards the storage frame 6, the tooth 8 can be smoothly inserted into the tooth groove 9, which restricts the vertical position of the top plate 7 and ensures that the top plate 7 will not move easily during the drying process.

[0038] Meanwhile, a positioning post 71 is slidably installed inside the end of the top plate 7, and a positioning hole 72 corresponding to the positioning post 71 is opened on the outer wall of the mounting base 5. The positioning post 71 has a T-shaped cross-section, and the bottom corner of the positioning post 71 and the top opening corner of the positioning hole 72 are both designed with beveled angles. When the positioning post 71 enters the positioning hole 72, the lateral position of the top plate 7 is also fixed, thereby ensuring that the top plate 7 effectively covers the storage frame 6.

[0039] In this embodiment, a drive mechanism for driving the positioning column 71 is installed in the top plate 7;

[0040] In some examples, the drive mechanism includes a spring 73 installed inside the top plate 7 and connected to the positioning post 71. The top of the positioning post 71 is also equipped with a pull rope 74 that passes through the top of the top plate 7, and a handle 75 that is slidably installed on the outer wall of the top plate 7. The handle 75 is connected to the end of the pull rope 74 near the outer wall of the top plate 7. The sliding length of the handle 75 is greater than the length of the positioning post 71 located in the positioning hole 72 but less than the length of the positioning post 71. Before installing the top plate 7, the user pulls the handle 75 to pull the positioning post 71 through the pull rope 74, causing the positioning post 71 to fully enter the top plate 7. During this process, the top of the positioning post 71 will compress the spring 73, causing the spring 73 to be in a compressed state. When the position of the positioning post 71 corresponds to the position of the positioning hole 72, the user pushes the handle 75 towards the top plate 7. The pull rope 74 releases the restriction on the positioning post 71, the spring 73 is released, and the positioning post 71 is pushed into the positioning hole 72, thus achieving the positioning of the top plate 7.

[0041] Of course, in other examples, the drive mechanism can also be a miniature electric actuator, miniature cylinder, or other device connected to the positioning post 71. In this embodiment, the drive mechanism is not directly and completely limited.

[0042] In summary, through the above structural design, this utility model effectively solves the problem that the opening of the storage frame 6 in the existing tea dryer easily causes tea to spill, thereby improving the efficiency of tea drying and reducing the processing cost for manufacturers.

[0043] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to dry tea leaves, the tea leaves are first placed into a set of storage frames 6. Then, the first set of storage frames 6 is connected to the mounting base 5 at the bottom (the connection between the storage frame 6 and the mounting base 5 is a known technology and will not be described in detail here). Next, the second storage frame 6 is connected to the second set of mounting bases 5 from top to bottom as described above. Since the mounting base 5 is slidably connected to the transmission base 4, after the storage frame 6 is installed on the second set of mounting bases 5, the mounting base 5 will move downward under the action of its gravity, so that the bottom of the second set of storage frames 6 will be in contact with the top of the first set of storage frames 6, so that the second set of storage frames 6 will act as the cover of the first set of storage frames 6.

[0044] Subsequently, the remaining storage frames 6 are installed as described above. After installing an appropriate number of storage frames 6, only the top of the top set of storage frames 6 remains open. At this time, the connecting groove 62 in the top plate 7 is slidably connected to the outer extension block 61 outside the top set of storage frames 6, so that the top plate 7 is slidably connected to the top of the storage frame 6. At this time, the top plate 7 acts as the cover plate of the top storage frame 6, effectively preventing the tea leaves in the storage frame 6 from spilling when the vibration base 3 is running.

[0045] As the top plate 7 slides towards the storage frame 6, the protruding teeth 8 at its end will insert into the corresponding tooth groove 9. The cooperation between the protruding teeth 8 and the tooth groove 9 further restricts the vertical position of the top plate 7. When the protruding teeth 8 enter the tooth groove 9, the position of the positioning post 71 will correspond to the position of the positioning hole 72. At this time, the drive mechanism is activated, so that the positioning post 71 enters the positioning hole 72, thereby restricting the horizontal and vertical positions of the top plate 7 and ensuring the blocking effect of the top plate 7 on the storage frame 6.

[0046] If the drive mechanism consists of a spring 73, a pull rope 74, and a handle 75, before installing the top plate 7, the user needs to pull the handle 75 to pull the positioning post 71 through the pull rope 74, causing the positioning post 71 to fully enter the top plate 7. During this process, the top of the positioning post 71 will compress the spring 73, causing the spring 73 to be in a compressed state. When the position of the positioning post 71 corresponds to the position of the positioning hole 72, the user only needs to push the handle 75 towards the top plate 7, which will release the restriction of the pull rope 74 on the positioning post 71. At this time, the spring 73 will be released, pushing the positioning post 71 into the positioning hole 72.

[0047] If the drive mechanism is a miniature electric actuator, when it is necessary to push the positioning pin 71 into the positioning hole 72, the miniature electric actuator is activated, which will provide power to the positioning pin 71 and push it into the positioning hole 72.

[0048] Once the storage frame 6 and the top plate 7 are installed, the pusher 2 can be pushed into the main body 1, and then the main body 1 and the vibrating base 3 can be started to dry the tea leaves.

[0049] After drying, pull the pusher seat 2 out of the main body 1, and then remove the storage frame 6.
