Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Herbal teas, originating from Europe, are aromatic beverages made by boiling or steeping the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, or bark of plants. They have health benefits and medicinal effects, and moderate consumption can help soothe the mind, promote sleep, and regulate the body.

[0003] Currently, the production and processing of herbal teas requires the use of a cutting device to cut the herbal tea leaves to facilitate subsequent processing.

[0004] Existing herbal tea cutting devices have a relatively simple structure. Because the cutting process relies mainly on the cutting edge of a movable cutter and the pressure applied to it, the single-blade cutting method results in frequent maintenance. During the cutting process, the cutting edge repeatedly contacts the herbal tea, leading to wear and tear, often requiring disassembly for maintenance, thus reducing practicality. Therefore, we propose a cutting device for herbal tea production. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to the needs of reality, and provide a cutting device for the production of herbal tea. This device addresses the technical problem that current single-blade cutting requires frequent maintenance, and that the cutting blade is prone to wear due to repeated contact with the herbal tea during the cutting process, often necessitating disassembly for maintenance.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cutting device for the production of herbal tea, including a base and a lower shell seat disposed on the top of the base;

[0007] An upper shell is hinged to one side of the top of the lower shell, and the lower shell and the upper shell form a cutting box. A drive mechanism is fixedly installed on one side of the lower shell and rotatably disposed in the cutting box. A rotary cutting mechanism is installed on the drive mechanism and rotatably disposed in the cutting box. Two fixed cutters are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the lower shell, and an arc-shaped screen is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower shell.

[0008] The rotary cutting mechanism includes several rotating seats, and several fixed seats are arranged in a ring array on the outer edge of the rotating seats. A movable cutter is detachably installed on one side of each of the fixed seats located on the same side. The end of the movable cutter away from the fixed seat is constructed with an arc-shaped cutting blade that bends in the direction of rotation and cooperates with the fixed cutter to complete the cutting action.

[0009] This invention uses a drive mechanism to drive a rotary cutting mechanism to cut herbal tea within a cutting box. During processing, the drive mechanism rotates three rotating seats equipped with three movable cutters. The three arc-shaped cutting blades on the movable cutters, in conjunction with a fixed cutter, cut the herbal tea. The cut herbal tea falls to the bottom of an arc-shaped screen and is then sieved through the screen, completing the sieving process. The pressure generated by the rotation, combined with the arc-shaped cutting blades, applies pressure to one side of the herbal tea, while the fixed cutter applies pressure to the other side. This dual-sided pressure cutting method effectively avoids the high maintenance frequency problem associated with single-blade cutting. The rotary dual-sided pressure cutting method significantly reduces blade wear and the frequency of disassembly and maintenance.

[0010] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a motor and a main shaft. The motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the lower housing, and the two ends of the main shaft are respectively provided with bearing seats fixedly mounted on both sides of the lower housing. Several rotating seats are fixedly mounted on the outer edge surface of the main shaft.

[0011] Preferably, a multi-groove pulley A and a multi-groove pulley B are fixedly installed on one end of the motor shaft and the main shaft, respectively, and multiple transmission belts are installed between the multi-groove pulley A and the multi-groove pulley B. A flywheel is fixedly installed on the other end of the main shaft.

[0012] Preferably, the movable cutter has a plurality of positioning keys equidistantly arranged on one side facing the fixed base, and the fixed base has a positioning groove in the center on one side for inserting the corresponding positioning keys.

[0013] Preferably, a plurality of through slots corresponding to the positioning keys are equidistantly provided on one side of the movable cutter, and a recessed groove connecting the through slots is provided on one side of the fixed base, and a fixing bolt is inserted into both the through slots and the corresponding recessed grooves.

[0014] Preferably, a feeding hopper that matches the arc-shaped screen is fixedly installed inside the base, and the feeding hopper is hinged to the top of the upper shell.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This utility model uses a drive mechanism to drive a rotary cutting mechanism to cut herbal tea within a cutting box. During the process, the drive mechanism rotates three rotating seats equipped with three movable cutters. The three arc-shaped cutting blades on the movable cutters work in conjunction with the fixed cutter to cut the herbal tea. The cut herbal tea falls to the bottom of the arc-shaped screen and is sieved through the screen, completing the sieving process. The pressure generated by the rotation, combined with the arc-shaped cutting blades, applies pressure to the herbal tea on one side, while the fixed cutter applies pressure on the other side. This double-sided pressure cutting method effectively avoids the high maintenance frequency problem caused by single-blade cutting. The rotary double-sided pressure cutting method greatly reduces blade wear and the frequency of disassembly and maintenance.

[0017] This utility model also features a rotary cutting mechanism. When maintenance is required, several fixing bolts can be loosened to pull out several positioning keys on one side of the movable cutter from several positioning slots, thereby separating the movable cutter from the fixed seat. This makes disassembly convenient and greatly improves the ease of maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the present invention relates to a cutting device for the production of herbal tea, comprising a base 1 and a lower shell 2 disposed on the top of the base 1.

[0026] The upper shell 3 is hinged to one side of the top of the lower shell 2, and the lower shell 2 and the upper shell 3 form a cutting box. The base 1 is fixedly provided with a feeding hopper 101 that matches the arc-shaped screen 8. The top of the upper shell 3 is hingedly provided with a feeding hopper 5. The lower shell 2 is fixedly provided with a drive mechanism 4 that is rotatably provided in the cutting box, and the drive mechanism 4 is provided with a rotating cutting mechanism 6 that is rotatably provided in the cutting box. Two fixed cutters 7 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the top of the lower shell 2, and the arc-shaped screen 8 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the lower shell 2.

[0027] The rotary cutting mechanism 6 includes several rotating seats 601. Several fixed seats 602 are arranged in a ring array on the outer edge of the rotating seats 601. A movable cutter 603 is detachably installed on one side of each of the fixed seats 602 located on the same side. The end of the movable cutter 603 away from the fixed seat 602 is provided with an arc-shaped cutting blade 604 that bends in the direction of rotation and cooperates with the fixed cutter 7 to complete the cutting action.

[0028] This invention uses a drive mechanism 4 to drive a rotary cutting mechanism 6 to cut herbal tea within a cutting box. During the process, the drive mechanism 4 drives three rotating seats 601 equipped with three movable cutters 603 to rotate. The three arc-shaped cutting blades 604 on the movable cutters 603 work in conjunction with a fixed cutter 7 to cut the herbal tea. The cut herbal tea falls to the bottom of an arc-shaped screen 8 and is sieved through the screen. The pressure generated by the rotation, combined with the arc-shaped cutting blades 604, applies pressure to the herbal tea on one side, while the fixed cutter 7 applies pressure on the other side. This double-sided pressure method effectively avoids the high maintenance frequency caused by single-blade cutting. The rotary double-sided pressure cutting method greatly reduces blade wear and the frequency of disassembly and maintenance.

[0029] In an embodiment of this utility model, the drive mechanism 4 includes a motor 401 and a main shaft 402. The motor 401 is fixedly mounted on one side of the lower housing 2, and the two ends of the main shaft 402 are respectively provided with bearing seats fixedly mounted on both sides of the lower housing 2. A plurality of rotating seats 601 are fixedly mounted on the outer edge surface of the main shaft 402. The motor shaft of the motor 401 and one end of the main shaft 402 are respectively fixedly mounted with a grooved pulley A403 and a grooved pulley B404, and the grooved pulley A403 and the grooved pulley B404 are respectively fixedly mounted on the motor shaft of the motor 401 and one end of the main shaft 402. Multiple drive belts 405 are installed together between 404. A flywheel 406 is fixedly installed at the other end of the main shaft 402. The multi-groove pulley A403 is driven to rotate by the motor 401, which in turn drives the main shaft 402 with multi-groove pulley B404 to rotate through several drive belts 405. Energy is stored in the flywheel 406, which in turn drives the three rotating seats 601 with three movable cutters 603 to rotate. Using the flywheel 406 to store energy can effectively increase the unilateral pressure of the movable cutter 603.

[0030] In this embodiment of the utility model, the movable cutter 603 has a plurality of positioning keys 605 equidistantly arranged on the side facing the fixed base 602, and a positioning groove 606 for inserting the corresponding positioning key 605 is centrally located on one side of the fixed base 602. The movable cutter 603 has a plurality of through grooves equidistantly arranged on one side, through which the corresponding positioning keys 605 are inserted, and a countersunk groove connecting the through grooves is provided on one side of the fixed base 602. Fixing bolts 607 are inserted in both the through grooves and the corresponding countersunk grooves. By setting the rotating cutting mechanism 6, when maintenance is required, a plurality of fixing bolts 607 can be loosened, thereby pulling out a plurality of positioning keys 605 on one side of the movable cutter 603 from a plurality of positioning grooves 606, thereby completing the separation of the movable cutter 603 from the fixed base 602. Disassembly is convenient and maintenance is greatly improved.

[0031] Working Principle: This embodiment provides a cutting device for herbal tea production. In use, the herbal tea is fed into the upper housing 3 through the feeding hopper 5. The motor 401 drives the multi-groove pulley A403 to rotate, which in turn drives the main shaft 402, equipped with multi-groove pulleys B404, to rotate via several transmission belts 405. Energy is stored in the flywheel 406, which in turn drives the three rotating seats 601, each equipped with a movable cutter 603, to rotate. The three arc-shaped cutting blades 604 on the movable cutters 603, in conjunction with the fixed cutter 7, cut the herbal tea. The cut tea... The herbal tea falls to the bottom of the arc-shaped screen 8 and is sieved through the arc-shaped screen 8 to complete the sieving of the herbal tea. The pressure generated by the rotation, combined with the arc-shaped cutting blade 604, applies pressure to the herbal tea on one side, and then the fixed cutter 7 applies pressure to the herbal tea on the other side. The herbal tea is cut by applying pressure on both sides. When maintenance is required, several fixing bolts 607 can be loosened, so that several positioning keys 605 on one side of the movable cutter 603 can be pulled out from several positioning slots 606, thereby completing the separation of the movable cutter 603 from the fixed base 602. Disassembly is convenient.
