Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea-picking machines, specifically a tea hopper structure for a tea-picking machine. Background Technology
[0002] Tea harvesting machines are crop harvesting machines that pick new and tender tea leaves from the top of tea trees. They are divided into two types according to different picking methods: selective tea harvesting machines and non-selective tea harvesting machines. Selective tea harvesting machines include types such as the breaking type and the friction type.
[0003] The tea-picking machine is equipped with a tea hopper. The tea hopper is installed on the surface of the blade holder, higher than the blade. For example, an electric tea-picking machine disclosed in CN218789167U includes a collection hopper. A connecting rod is provided at the bottom of the collection hopper. A drive mechanism is provided on one side of the connecting rod. A cutting mechanism is provided at the bottom of the connecting rod. The drive mechanism includes a drive box, a drive motor, a drive gear, a driven gear, and a turn wheel. The drive box is located on one side of the connecting rod. The drive motor is located inside the drive box. A drive gear is provided at the drive end of the drive motor. A driven gear is provided inside the drive box and on one side of the drive gear. Turn wheels are provided on both sides of the driven gear. The cutting mechanism includes a first cutting ruler and a second cutting ruler. The first cutting ruler and the second cutting ruler are both located at the bottom of the connecting rod and are stacked on top of each other.
[0004] In summary, the tea hopper is mounted on the surface of the blade holder, which is higher than the blade, making it difficult for tea leaves to enter the tea hopper after being cut. To solve this problem, we propose a tea hopper structure for a tea picking machine. Utility Model Content

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-8 In this embodiment of the utility model, a tea hopper structure for a tea picking machine includes a tea hopper 1. A supporting edge 9 is provided at the bottom of the feeding area of the tea hopper 1. At least three supporting edges 9 are provided, and the multiple supporting edges 9 are evenly distributed. These multiple supporting edges 9 provide stable support for a second blade 6, a first blade 5, and a bracket 4. A second blade 6, a first blade 5, and a bracket 4 are sequentially arranged above the supporting edges 9 of the tea hopper 1. The supporting edges 9, the second blade 6, the first blade 5, and the bracket 4 are connected by screws 7 and nuts. The first blade 5 and the second blade... The blade 6 has a slotted hole 8 at the screw 7 for the blade to move. The top of the bracket 4 and the top of the bottom plate of the tea hopper 1 are flush with each other. The feed inlet of the tea hopper is flush with the blade bracket, which facilitates the entry of tea leaves into the tea hopper. This is called the under-blade hopper structure. A washer 11 is installed at the support edge 9. The screw 7 passes through the washer 11. A guide sleeve 10 is fitted on the screw 7. The guide sleeve 10 is located between the bracket 4 and the washer 11. The slotted holes 8 of the first blade 5 and the second blade 6 cooperate with the guide sleeve 10. The guide sleeve 10 can ensure the stable movement of the first blade 5 and the second blade 6.
[0027] It also includes a frame 2, and the connection end between the frame 2 and the tea hopper 1 is provided with an arc-shaped rib plate 3. The arc-shaped rib plate 3 has an outward-folding structure, which allows the tea leaves to be better introduced into the tea hopper. For the knife-on-hopper structure, the tea hopper is installed vertically, which will not affect the assembly efficiency. However, for the knife-off-hopper structure, the tea hopper is installed vertically, which will greatly affect the assembly efficiency. Moreover, under the premise of the same tea hopper volume, the overall length of the machine will also be shorter. The end of the bracket 4 away from the frame 2 is a vertical structure. The vertical structure of the bracket 4 is connected to the tea hopper 1 by fastening bolts 12. The additional vertical structure further improves the connection effect between the frame 2 and the tea hopper 1, thereby improving the stability of the frame 2.
[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the top of the bracket 4 and the top of the bottom plate of the tea hopper 1 are flush with each other, and the feed port of the tea hopper is flush with the blade bracket, which facilitates the entry of tea leaves into the tea hopper. This is called the under-blade hopper structure. The connection end between the frame 2 and the tea hopper 1 is provided with an arc-shaped rib plate 3. The arc-shaped rib plate 3 is an outward-folding structure, which allows the tea leaves to be better guided into the tea hopper. For the under-blade hopper structure, this structure (the tea hopper is installed vertically) will not affect the assembly efficiency. However, for the under-blade hopper structure, this assembly method will greatly affect the assembly efficiency. Moreover, under the premise of the same tea hopper volume, the overall length of the machine will also be shortened.
[0029] 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.
