Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is specifically an automated kneading machine for tea making. Background Technology

[0002] A tea rolling machine is a machine that can maintain the fiber structure of tea leaves without damaging them, ensure uniform tea quality, and is easy to operate. It mainly consists of a lotus seat, a transmission group, and a cloth rolling rod. The lotus seat has several lotus-shaped pieces, which are driven by the transmission group to open and close, rolling and compressing the tea leaves. Another drive motor drives the lotus seat to rotate, and together with the cloth rolling rod, the cloth bag is automatically rolled into a knot, gradually reducing the volume of the cloth bag, thus achieving the function of double rolling of tea leaves and reducing their volume.

[0003] In traditional kneading machines, tea leaves inside the aluminum cylinder are distributed onto the lotus seat during operation. During the kneading process, the pressure of the pressure cap on the tea leaves inside the aluminum cylinder decreases, requiring manual adjustment of the pressure cap by rotating the handwheel to maintain the pressure. Manual adjustment is cumbersome and requires stopping the machine, making real-time control impossible. Existing technology controls the pressure by controlling the column retraction with an electric push rod. However, achieving automated control would require replacing the equipment, and bulk replacement would be expensive. Therefore, this application is submitted to achieve the desired result through technical modification. Utility Model Content

[0019] Please see Figures 1-3In this embodiment of the utility model, an automated kneading machine includes a control end, a support leg 1, a tripod 2, a lotus seat 3, an aluminum cylinder 4, a cross arm 6, a pressure cap 7, a handwheel 9, and a column 10. The aluminum cylinder 4, located on top of the lotus seat 3, is mounted on the support leg 1 via the tripod 2. The cross arm 6 and the pressure cap 7 are mounted on the tripod 2 via the column 10. The column 10 is equipped with a handwheel 9 that can drive the column 10 to move the cross arm 6 up and down. A drive component 8 is mounted on the top of the tripod 2. The output end of the drive component 8 is connected to the handwheel 9, causing the handwheel 9 to rotate and drive the column 10 to move the cross arm 6. The drive component 8 drives the handwheel 9 to rotate, and the rotation of the handwheel 9 drives the column 10 to drive the pressure cap 7 to apply pressure to the tea leaves in the aluminum cylinder 4, maintaining the pressure of the pressure cap 7 on the tea leaves in the aluminum cylinder 4, and ensuring uniform kneading and output.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the drive component 8 includes a drive motor 801, a drive wheel 802, a transmission belt 803, and a driven wheel 804. The drive motor 801 is mounted on the tripod 2. The output shaft of the drive motor 801 is equipped with the drive wheel 802. The driven wheel 804 is mounted on the handwheel 9. The drive wheel 802 and the driven wheel 804 are connected by the drive wheel 802. The drive motor 801 is driven by the drive wheel 802, the transmission belt 803, and the driven wheel 804. The drive motor 801 drives the handwheel 9 to adjust the pressure cover 7.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the handwheel 9 includes a drive shaft 901, a rocker wheel 902, and a lead screw 903. The rocker wheel 902 is mounted on one end of the drive shaft 901. The rocker wheel 902 is fixed to the driven wheel 804 by the lead screw 903. A hole is opened on the handwheel 9, through which the lead screw 903 can pass and be fixed to the driven wheel 804, achieving a static connection between them.
