Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea production technology, specifically to a tea kneading machine with an automatic cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the tea industry and consumers' increasing demands for tea quality, the modernization and automation of tea processing technology have become key to the industry's transformation and upgrading. Among these processes, tea rolling, as a crucial step affecting the shape, color, and aroma of tea leaves, directly impacts the final quality of the tea through its efficiency and cleanliness. Traditional manual or semi-automatic tea rolling machines often face problems such as the accumulation of tea residue that is difficult to clean and low work efficiency. This not only increases labor costs but may also affect the hygienic quality of the tea due to incomplete cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a tea kneading machine with an automatic cleaning function. The machine effectively cleans the tea residue and debris adhering to the kneading disc and tea trough through the rinsing mechanism and the brushing mechanism. This not only greatly improves the cleaning efficiency, but also reduces the risk of cross-contamination caused by manual cleaning. At the same time, the equipment also incorporates an electric cylinder driven lifting system, which enables the cleaning components to be precisely positioned to ensure all-round cleaning without dead angles.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a tea kneading machine with an automatic cleaning function, including a support leg, a kneading disc on the support leg, a discharge port at the bottom of the kneading disc, a valve connected to the discharge port, a tea trough rotating inside the kneading disc, a rinsing mechanism for cleaning the kneading disc fixed on the kneading disc, and a brushing mechanism on the tea trough for scrubbing the kneading disc and cleaning residue at the bottom of the tea trough; the rinsing mechanism includes a water tank at the bottom of the kneading disc and a circulating water pipe at the top of the kneading disc; the brushing mechanism includes several guide rods on the tea trough, a fixing frame at the bottom of the guide rods, a scraper for removing residue from the side wall of the tea trough inside the fixing frame, several connecting columns fixed at the bottom of the fixing frame, and a brush for scrubbing the bottom surface of the kneading disc connected to the connecting columns.

[0005] The automatic cleaning of the kneading disc and its internal tea trough is achieved through a rinsing mechanism and a scrubbing mechanism. The rinsing mechanism uses a water tank at the bottom of the kneading disc and a circulating water pipe at the top to spray water onto the surface of the kneading disc through a water pump and nozzles to rinse away residual tea leaves. The scrubbing mechanism uses components such as guide rods, fixing frames, scrapers and brushes installed on the tea trough to mechanically scrub the side walls and bottom of the tea trough and the bottom surface of the kneading disc, effectively removing residual substances.

[0006] A water inlet is connected to the left side wall of the water tank, and a water pump for water supply is fixed at the bottom of the front side wall of the water tank. A water supply pipe is connected between the water pump and the circulating water pipe, and a nozzle for rinsing the kneading disc is provided on the circulating water pipe.

[0007] Water is injected into the water tank through the water inlet and then fed into the circulating water pipe through the water supply pipe. The kneading disc is then rinsed with a spray nozzle to remove any remaining tea leaves.

[0008] The top of the guide rod is fixed with a stop block, and the bottom is connected to the fixed frame. The tea trough is also equipped with an electric cylinder for lifting and lowering the fixed frame. The end of the telescopic shaft of the electric cylinder passes through the tea trough bracket and is connected to the fixed frame.

[0009] The guide rod is limited by the stop at the top of the guide rod, and the fixed frame is raised and lowered by the electric cylinder telescopic shaft, which facilitates the motion control and position adjustment of the brushing mechanism. The scraper on the inside of the fixed frame scrapes off the tea leaves sticking to the side wall of the tea trough, and the brush at the bottom brushes the bottom of the kneading disc, which further improves the cleaning effect.

[0010] The bottom of the electric cylinder is connected to a connector, and the bottom of the connector is threaded with a limit rod, and the end of the limit rod is provided with a limit block.

[0011] The electric cylinder is connected to the tea trough support and fixed frame via its telescopic shaft, enabling the entire washing mechanism to achieve automated lifting and lowering. This is accomplished by controlling the electric cylinder through an electronic control system. The design of the U-shaped connector and limit rod provides additional support for the stable operation of the electric cylinder, and the limit block ensures that the electric cylinder operates safely within a predetermined range, preventing over-extension or over-contraction.

[0012] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] 1. The washing and scrubbing mechanisms clean the tea residue inside the equipment after the kneading process, reducing manual cleaning time and improving production continuity and efficiency. Simultaneously, automatic cleaning more thoroughly removes tea residue and dirt from the kneading equipment, ensuring tea quality and a hygienic processing environment, meeting modern food safety requirements.

[0014] 2. The electric cylinder-driven fixed frame lifting system, combined with the design of the limit rod, realizes the precise positioning and control of the brushing mechanism, ensuring the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of the cleaning process and avoiding over-brushing or omission.

[0015] 3. The limit block ensures that the movement range of the electric cylinder is reasonably limited, avoiding overload damage to the mechanical structure, enhancing the stability and safety of the equipment, and extending its service life. The limit rod is used to connect the connector to the fixed frame, ensuring that the electric cylinder can lift and lower the fixed frame when it is working. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The rinsing mechanism 15 and the brushing mechanism 16 enable automatic cleaning of the kneading disc 11 and its internal tea trough 14. The rinsing mechanism 15 uses a water tank 151 at the bottom of the kneading disc 11 and a circulating water pipe 152 at the top to spray water onto the surface of the kneading disc 11 through a water pump 154 ​​and a nozzle 156 to rinse away residual tea leaves. The brushing mechanism 16 uses components such as a guide rod 161, a fixing frame 162, a scraper 163, and a brush 165 installed on the tea trough 14 to mechanically brush the side walls and bottom of the tea trough 14 and the bottom surface of the kneading disc 11, effectively removing residual substances.

[0027] A water inlet 153 is connected to the left side wall of the water tank 151. A water pump 154 ​​for water supply is fixed at the bottom of the front side wall of the water tank 151. A water supply pipe 155 is connected between the water pump 154 ​​and the circulating water pipe 152. A nozzle 156 for rinsing the kneading disc 11 is provided on the circulating water pipe 152.

[0028] Water is injected into the water tank 151 through the water inlet 153 and then into the circulating water pipe 152 through the water supply pipe 155. The kneading disc 11 is rinsed through the nozzle 156 to wash away any remaining tea leaves.

[0029] The top of the guide rod 161 is fixed with a stop 166, and the bottom is connected to the fixed frame 162. The tea trough 14 is also equipped with an electric cylinder 167 for lifting and lowering the fixed frame 162.

This is accomplished by controlling the electric cylinder 167 through an electronic control system. The design of the U-shaped connector 168 and the limit rod provides additional support for the stable operation of the electric cylinder 167, and the limit block ensures that the electric cylinder 167 operates safely within a predetermined range, preventing over-extension or retraction.

[0033] The bottom of connector 168 is threadedly connected to a limit rod 169, and the tail end of the limit rod is provided with a limit block 1610.

[0034] The method of using this utility model is as follows: After the tea kneading is completed, the water pump 154 ​​located at the bottom of the front side wall of the water tank 151 is started. The water pump 154 ​​draws clean water from the water tank 151. After the water in the water tank 151 is pressurized by the water pump 154, it reaches the top nozzle 156 through the circulating water pipe 152. The nozzle 156 sprays water onto the surface of the kneading disc 11 to wash away the attached tea fragments and impurities. At the same time, by rotating the tea trough 14, the fixing frame 162 is driven to move up and down along the guide rod 161 by the electric cylinder 167. The scraper 163 on the fixed frame 162 is in close contact with the side wall of the tea trough 14. As the fixed frame 162 moves up and down, it scrapes off the residue on the side wall of the tea trough 14. The brush 165 connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 162, under the action of the electric cylinder 167, scrubs the bottom surface of the kneading disc 11 to remove the tea residue remaining at the bottom. After cleaning, the valve 13 is opened, and the discharge port 12 at the bottom of the kneading disc 11 discharges the cleaned water and residue, completing one cleaning cycle.
