Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Pu'er tea cake production equipment, and in particular to a tea barrel and tea pouring mechanism with anti-sticking material. Background Technology

[0002] Compressed Pu-erh tea is the main form of Pu-erh tea products. Most Pu-erh tea products sold on the market, whether raw or ripe, are sold in compressed form, such as cakes, tuocha, and bricks, with cakes accounting for the largest share. The pressing process is a crucial final step in the refining and processing of Pu-erh tea. Typically, a pressing machine presses blended tea leaves into Pu-erh tea cakes of different sizes, which are then subsequently roasted and packaged to form standardized compressed Pu-erh tea products. Currently, tea companies use semi-automatic pressing and shaping machines that integrate pressing and shaping.

[0003] The tea cake pressing machine requires manual assistance during operation. The manual operation process is as follows: A worker takes the steamed tea barrel and pours the tea leaves into the pressing machine mold; then, the empty barrel is placed on the empty barrel conveyor line; the tea leaves on the upper surface of the mold are smoothed; next, the inner label is placed on top of the tea leaves, and a small pinch of tea leaves is taken from the mold to cover the inner label; finally, a cotton cloth is placed on top of the tea leaves, and the pressing machine start button is pressed manually. The mold retracts to the pressing station for pressing, and the pressed tea cake is then held under pressure. After the tea cake enters the holding pressure state at this station, the worker moves to the next station of the pressing machine and repeats the above process. After the tea cake has completed holding pressure, the mold retracts to the unloading station, the pressing machine pushes the tea cake out of the mold, and the worker removes the tea cake and places it on the worktable. Other workers then perform subsequent tasks such as putting the tea cake in shrink bags and mounting it on racks.

[0004] Existing technologies CN117502528A and CN112777074A disclose devices for automatically completing the pressing process. However, both of these technologies require manual handling of the steamed tea barrels, pouring the tea leaves into the pressing machine mold, and then using pressing auxiliary devices for subsequent operations, thus failing to complete the entire fully automated process. Furthermore, the equipment in CN112777074A occupies a large area, requiring numerous additional mechanisms to replace manual pressing, and each workstation requires its own dedicated device. Additionally, pressing requires a holding time, which many tea processing plants cannot implement due to space constraints. Moreover, some processing methods differ significantly from traditional techniques, necessitating the replacement of the entire equipment, resulting in high replacement costs and making it unsuitable for most production plants. Furthermore, the mechanisms in the disclosed equipment cannot completely smooth the surface of the tea leaves within the mold to form the optimal pressed cake shape in a short time when leveling the tea leaves, resulting in uneven cake density and reduced tea cake quality. Simultaneously, they cannot guarantee that only one inner paper is picked up at a time when pressing in two inner papers, requiring the tea cake to be unpacked and repressed, leading to severe breakage and further reducing tea cake quality. Therefore, a new tea hopper and tea-pouring mechanism with anti-stick properties are needed to achieve automatic tea-pouring. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a tea bucket and tea pouring mechanism that prevents tea leaves from sticking to the inner surface of the tea bucket.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes an inner paper suction device, a tea leaf gripping device, and a tea leaf smoothing device; the inner paper suction device, the tea leaf gripping device, and the tea leaf smoothing device are respectively installed on the outer surfaces of the side arms on both sides of the support; the inner paper suction device is used to suck up the inner paper and put it into the mold; the tea leaf gripping device can pick up the tea leaves in the mold; the tea leaf smoothing device is used to smooth the tea leaves poured into the mold to form the shape before pressing.

[0014] Furthermore, the tea-smoothing device includes a clamping frame, a rotary motor, a rotating shaft fixing component, a cover plate, and smoothing blades. Slide rails and sliding air rods are mounted on the outer surfaces of the side arms of the support frame. The slide rails and sliding air rods are parallel to each other and extend in the same direction as the side arms of the support frame. The clamping frame is mounted on the slide rail, and the sliding air rod is fixedly connected to the clamping frame. The sliding air rod can drive the clamping frame to slide on the slide rail. The rotating shaft fixing component is fixedly mounted on the clamping frame, and the rotary motor is fixedly mounted on the clamping frame. The output end of the rotating shaft of the rotary motor passes through the rotating shaft fixing component and is fixedly connected to one side of the cover plate. The output end of the rotating shaft of the rotary motor can rotate within the rotating shaft fixing component. The smoothing blades are mounted on the other side of the cover plate opposite to the output end of the rotating shaft of the rotary motor. The cover plate is circular. By moving the robotic arm, the cover plate can extend into the mold to cover the tea leaves inside the mold, and the rotating motor drives the smoothing blades to rotate and smooth the tea leaves.

[0015] Further, the smoothing blade includes a first blade and a second blade that are intersecting and installed on one side of the cover plate; the first blade passes through the center of the cover plate and is centrally symmetrically distributed with the center of the cover plate as the center; the first blade includes several sheet-like comb teeth with their joints on the same plane, the teeth of the sheet-like comb teeth are inclined in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the cover plate and twisted at a certain angle in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the cover plate; the length of each sheet-like comb tooth gradually shortens and the inclination angle gradually decreases along the center of the cover plate outwards, and the twist angle of each sheet-like comb tooth gradually decreases along the center of the cover plate outwards; the second blade includes two rows of long comb teeth and one row of short comb teeth made of flexible material, with the short comb teeth located between the two rows of long comb teeth; the second blade is installed on both sides of the first blade with the center of the cover plate as the symmetrical point; the length of the comb teeth on the second blade gradually shortens along the center of the cover plate outwards.

[0017] During use, clamp 1 moves to the vicinity of the conveyor belt, causing clamping arms 143 to move to both sides above the tea barrel 4, and then the support 11 moves downward so that clamping arms 143 are evenly spaced on both sides of the tea barrel 4, with the large end of the feed inlet 146 covering the opening of the tea barrel 4. Then, the two cylinders 141 are activated to pull the clamping arms 143 together, clamping the tea barrel 4 through the inner arc surface of the clamping part. Then, the mechanical wall is moved above the mold 3 of the pressing table, and the mechanical arm 2 is rotated to pour the tea leaves from the tea barrel 4 into the mold 3 through the feed inlet 146.

[0019] (i) By installing a vibration motor in the clamping and tilting device, the tea barrel is fully vibrated and shaken during the pouring process. In addition, the tea barrel itself has an anti-stick surface, which prevents the tea leaves from sticking to the inner surface of the tea barrel, ensuring that the tea leaves in the tea barrel can be completely poured into the mold every time the tea is poured.

[0020] (ii) By using the specific smoothing blades set on the tea smoothing mechanism, the tea leaves to be pressed in the mold are first smoothed to the most suitable shape for pressing, that is, the whole is a downward concave arc surface, so that the pressed tea cake with the arc surface of the carp's back is uniform in density, avoiding the situation that the density of the middle of the tea cake is large and the density of the sides is small.

[0039] To make the technical means, creative features, and objectives of this utility model easier to understand, the technical solution of this utility model will be further explained below with reference to one embodiment of the anti-sticking material tea bucket and tea pouring mechanism and specific implementation methods.

[0040] like Figure 1-15 As shown, the specific embodiments of this utility model are as follows:

[0041] A tea barrel with anti-stick coating and a tea pouring mechanism include a robotic arm 2 and a clamp 1. The robotic arm 2 is installed next to the pressing table and is used to control the clamp 1 to perform multi-angle displacement. The tea barrel 4 processed at the front end of the production line is transported to the pressing workshop by a conveyor belt. The pressing table is equipped with a mold 3 and a pressing head. After the tea leaves are poured into the mold 3, they are pressed into shape by the pressing head. The lower surface of the pressing head is shaped like a carp's back, and the bottom of both the pressing head and the mold 3 are covered with gauze.

[0042] The clamp 1 is installed at the front end of the robotic arm 2 and includes a bracket 11, a clamping and tilting device, an inner paper suction device, a tea grasping device, and a tea smoothing device; the robotic arm 2 can drive the clamp 1 to move at multiple angles. The bracket 11 is U-shaped and has mounting holes at the bottom for mounting on the robotic arm 2.

[0043] The clamping and tilting device includes two-end cylinders 141, shock-absorbing pads 142, clamping arms 143, a vibrating motor 144, and a guide port 146. A transverse mounting plate 113 is provided inside the support 11, connecting the two side arms of the support 11. The surface of the transverse mounting plate 113 is parallel to the bottom of the support 11. The two-end cylinders 141 are mounted on the transverse mounting plate 113, with mounting plates 145 at both ends. The two mounting plates 145 are respectively connected to the clamping arms 143, and shock-absorbing pads 142 are provided at the connection points. The clamping arms 143 have a frame-shaped clamping part with an inner arc surface of the same diameter as the tea barrel 4. A vibrating motor 144 is installed inside the clamping part. After installation, the arc surfaces of the clamping parts of the two clamping arms 143 are positioned opposite each other. The two-end cylinders 141 can drive the clamping arms 143 to separate or close. The opening and closing trajectory of the clamping arms 143 is perpendicular to the two side arms of the support 11. The feed inlet 146 is connected and installed on the two side arms of the bracket 11. The feed inlet 146 is funnel-shaped. When the clamping arm 143 clamps and holds the tea barrel 4, the feed inlet 146 is located directly above the tea barrel 4, and at this time the large end of the feed inlet 146 is connected to the opening of the tea barrel 4.

[0044] The inner surface of the tea barrel 4 is evenly spaced with several hexagonal prism protrusions, and the recessed parts are coated with a food-grade non-stick coating, which includes a Teflon coating or a ceramic coating.

[0045] The inner paper suction device and the tea leaf gripping device are mounted on the outer surface of one side arm of the support 11, and the tea leaf smoothing device is mounted on the outer surface of the other side arm of the support 11. Slide rails 111 and sliding air rods 112 are mounted on the outer surfaces of the side arms of the support 11; the slide rails 111 and sliding air rods 112 are parallel to each other and extend in the same direction as the side arms of the support 11. The inner paper suction device and the tea leaf gripping device are mounted on the slide rails 111 via a mounting bracket 131. The sliding air rods 112 are fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 131, and the sliding air rods 112 can drive the mounting bracket 131 to slide on the slide rails 111. The inner paper suction device includes a suction head 132 mounted on the mounting bracket 131; the tea leaf gripping device includes a gripping head 133 mounted on the mounting bracket 131; the suction head 132 and the gripping head 133 operate in the same direction and are spaced apart, the distance being less than the radius of the mold 3. After the inner wrapper is picked up by the suction head 132, it is placed into the mold 3 during the auxiliary pressing process; the gripping head 133 can pick up the tea leaves in the mold 3; after the inner wrapper is placed in, it is released to cover the surface of the inner wrapper with the picked-up tea leaves. Here, the suction head 132 is a negative pressure suction head 132 or a Bernoulli principle suction head 132.

[0046] The tea-smoothing device is used to smooth the tea leaves poured into the mold 3 to form the shape before pressing; the clamping and tilting device is installed inside the support 11. The clamping and tilting device can clamp the tea barrel 4 containing tea leaves and pour the tea leaves in the tea barrel 4 into the mold 3.

[0047] The tea-smoothing device includes a clamping frame 121, a rotary motor 122, a rotating shaft fixing component 123, a cover plate 124, and smoothing blades. A slide rail 111 and a sliding air rod 112 are mounted on the outer surfaces of the side arms of the support 11. The slide rail 111 and the sliding air rod 112 are parallel to each other and extend in the same direction as the side arms of the support 11. The clamping frame 121 is mounted on the slide rail 111, and the sliding air rod 112 is fixedly connected to the clamping frame 121, allowing the sliding air rod 112 to drive the clamping frame 121 to slide on the slide rail 111. The rotating shaft fixing component 123 is fixedly mounted on the clamping frame 121. 1. A rotary motor 122 is fixedly mounted on a clip bracket 121. The output end of the rotary motor 122 passes through a shaft fixing member 123 and is fixedly connected to one side of the cover plate 124. The output end of the rotary motor 122 can rotate within the shaft fixing member 123. The smoothing blade is mounted on the other side of the cover plate 124 relative to the output end of the rotary motor 122. The cover plate 124 is circular. By moving the robotic arm 2, the cover plate 124 can be extended into the mold 3 to cover the tea leaves inside the mold 3. The rotary motor 122 drives the smoothing blade to rotate and smooth the tea leaves.

[0048] The smoothing blades include a first blade 125 and a second blade 126 that are intersected and mounted on one side of the cover plate 124. The first blade 125 passes through the center of the cover plate 124 and is centrally symmetrically distributed with the center of the cover plate 124 as the center. The first blade 125 includes several sheet-like comb teeth with their joints on the same plane. The teeth are inclined in the opposite direction to the rotation direction of the cover plate 124 and twisted at a certain angle in the opposite direction to the rotation direction of the cover plate 124. The length of each sheet-like comb tooth gradually shortens and the inclination angle gradually decreases as it moves outward from the center of the cover plate 124. The twist angle of each sheet-like comb tooth also gradually decreases as it moves outward from the center of the cover plate 124. The second blade 126 includes two rows of long comb teeth and one row of short comb teeth made of flexible material. The short comb teeth are located between the two rows of long comb teeth. The second blade 126 is mounted on both sides of the first blade 125 with the center of the cover plate 124 as the symmetrical point. The length of the comb teeth on the second blade 126 gradually shortens as it moves outward from the center of the cover plate 124.

[0049] During operation, the robotic arm 2 moves the clamp 1 to the inner paper placement area and rotates it to a suitable angle so that the suction head 132 is directly facing the inner paper, thus holding it in place. Then, the clamp 1 moves to the vicinity of the conveyor belt, causing the clamping arms 143 to move to both sides above the tea barrel 4, and then the support 11 moves downwards, so that the clamping arms 143 are evenly spaced on both sides of the tea barrel 4, with the large end of the guide port 146 covering the opening of the tea barrel 4. Then, the two end cylinders 141 are activated to pull the clamping arms 143 together, clamping the tea barrel 4 through the inner arc surface of the clamping part. The robotic arm is then moved to above the mold 3 on the pressing table, and the robotic arm 2 rotates to pour the tea leaves from the tea barrel 4 into the mold 3 through the guide port 146. During the pouring process, the vibration motor 144 rotates, causing the tea barrel 4 to vibrate and shake off the tea leaves from the barrel wall. Next, the sliding air rods 112 installed on the side arms of the bracket 11 drive the inner paper suction device, tea gripping device and tea smoothing device to move forward to the end. After the robotic arm 2 adjusts its position, it moves the cover plate 124 of the tea smoothing device to above the opening of the mold 3. Then, the rotary motor 122 is started, and the robotic arm 2 is moved at the same time, so that the smoothing blade moves downward with the cover plate 124. The second blade 126 flexible comb teeth and the first blade 125 sheet comb teeth smooth the tea in the mold 3 into the shape of the cake to be pressed. When smoothing, because the tea has the characteristics of mutual adhesion and hooking, the second blade 126 flexible comb teeth first contact the tea and pull the tea apart to a certain extent. Then, while smoothing with the first blade 125 sheet comb teeth, the tea is spread apart from the inside to the outside. Finally, the tea in the mold 3 is spread into a downward concave arc surface. The principle behind this is that when pressing tea cakes, they need to be shaped into an upward arc with a carp-like back. During the pressing process, the tea leaves on the outer edges of the cake shift downwards more than those in the middle. This downward displacement of the outer leaves causes them to be squeezed towards the center, resulting in an excess of tea leaves in the middle, which then bulges upwards, forming the upward arc shape of the carp's back. Therefore, if the tea leaves are not smoothed into a uniform plane before pressing, there will be too much tea in the middle during pressing, leading to uneven density in the pressed tea cake. The density in the middle will be greater than that at the edges, reducing the overall quality of the product. Furthermore, uneven density will further lead to uneven aging during the tea's processing, affecting its quality. Then, the robotic arm 2 moves the cover plate 124 and the smoothing leaves upwards until they are outside the mold 3. During this movement, the rotary motor 122 continues to rotate. The robotic arm 2 moves to feed the gripper head 133 and the suction head 132 into the mold 3. The gripper head 133 grips a portion of the tea leaves in the center of the mold 3, and the suction head 132 places the suction paper on the surface of the tea leaves in the mold 3. The gripper head 133 then lowers the gripped tea leaves to cover the inner paper. Finally, the clamp 1 is removed, the empty barrel is returned to the empty barrel recycling line, and the pressing head is started to press the cake.

[0050] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within its protection scope. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
