[0002] As the key equipment in the tea processing process, the tea cutting machine plays an important role in the tea forming process, which uses mechanical cutting principle to process tea raw materials into shapes and specifications meeting market demand. This kind of tea cutting machine is widely used in tea processing plants, small tea houses and other places. In practical application, the tea cutting machine usually needs to have the following structures and technologies:

[0003] 1. The cutting device is responsible for cutting tea, and its core component is a cutting tool or a cutting roller, which is usually made of high-hardness alloy steel to ensure sufficient cutting strength and durability.

[0004] 2. The power device provides power for cutting, which is usually driven by a motor with a power determined by the size and cutting efficiency of the tea cutting machine. The power is transmitted to the cutting device through a belt, chain or direct drive.

[0005] 3. The discharge device is used to collect cut tea, and its design needs to consider the discharge speed and state of tea. Some also have a screening function to separate tea crumbs or tea blocks that do not meet the specifications.

[0006] 4. The feeding device is responsible for the input of tea, and the common feeding hopper is usually made of stainless steel. Some also have a regulating valve or a conveyor belt to control the feeding speed and flow of tea.

[0007] Currently, to achieve efficient cutting and processing of tea, manufacturers have adopted various tea cutting machine design schemes. Some manufacturers have introduced rotary tea cutting machines that rely on high-speed rotation of the cutter around the center axis for cutting, which has high cutting efficiency and is suitable for large-scale tea processing. Some manufacturers use reciprocating tea cutting machines, whose cutters move reciprocally, and the cutting action is relatively accurate, which is beneficial for the fine processing of high-grade tea.

[0008] However, the aforementioned tea-cutting machines still have the following problems. Regarding the cutting method, most tea-cutting machines use single-sided cutting, which easily leads to uneven stress on the tea leaves, affecting cutting quality and resulting in broken or unevenly cut tea. For some high-grade tea varieties, this method cannot meet their fine processing requirements, and the cutting efficiency also needs improvement. In terms of feeding, the feed inlet is mostly fixed, making it difficult to adapt to tea raw materials of different shapes and sizes, as well as different production needs. This application proposes a solution to these problems: designing a tea-cutting machine with double-sided cutting and an adjustable feed inlet. This tea-cutting machine can improve cutting quality and efficiency, better adapt to the processing needs of various tea raw materials, reduce raw material waste and machine wear, and improve operational safety.
