Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea sieving machine technology, specifically a multi-stage drum tea sieving machine. Background Technology

[0002] After the initial processing of tea leaves, a sieving process is necessary to remove fine tea dust, coarse leaves, and branches, separating the tea leaves into coarse, medium, and fine sizes before further processing into higher-grade teas. When using a sieving machine, a screening mesh is typically used.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent CN222197712U, published on December 20, 2024, discloses a rotary sieving machine for fresh tea leaves. It includes a support assembly, a roller assembly, a collection box assembly, and a shaking assembly. The roller assembly is fixedly mounted on the top of the support assembly, the collection box assembly is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the roller assembly, and the shaking assembly is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the collection box assembly. The roller assembly contains a sieving roller with three fixed sections, each corresponding to a different size of mesh opening. This invention divides the tea leaves into three areas (small, medium, and large) on the same roller using a single mesh roller. Combined with the collection box below, the tea leaves are continuously moved forward by the rolling motion as they are poured in, thus unconsciously separating the tea leaves by size.

[0004] As can be seen from the above patents, the rotary sieving machine divides tea leaves into three areas on the same screen drum for grading and sieving. However, since the tea leaves are basically at the bottom of the screen drum, they tend to accumulate at the bottom, resulting in incomplete sieving. Therefore, this utility model provides a multi-stage drum tea sieving machine to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a multi-stage drum tea sieving machine.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A multi-stage drum tea sieving machine includes a fixed assembly, a power system, a collection system, and a mesh drum assembly. The fixed assembly includes a fixed bracket and a fixed base. The power system includes a controller, a motor, a rotating shaft, and rotating rods. The controller and motor are respectively mounted on the fixed base. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the output end of the motor via a belt. Several rotating rods are arranged on the rotating shaft. The mesh drum assembly includes a fine screen, a medium screen, and a coarse screen arranged in segments. The rotating shaft, rotating rods, fine screen, medium screen, and coarse screen are inclined at an angle of 5-10º to the horizontal direction. The left and right ends of the fine screen, medium screen, and coarse screen are respectively arranged around the outer end of the rotating rod to form a mesh drum, and the overlapping points are fixed to the rotating rod with screws. Parallel and staggered baffles are respectively arranged inside the fine screen, medium screen, and coarse screen, and the baffles are inclined at an angle of 10-15º to the horizontal direction.

[0008] Preferably, the collection system includes a first collection box, a second collection box, a third collection box, and a fourth collection box. The first collection box, the second collection box, and the third collection box are sequentially arranged directly below the fine screen, the medium screen, and the coarse screen. The fourth collection box is arranged at the lower edge of the coarse screen, and the right end of the fourth collection box is located directly below the lower end of the coarse screen.

[0009] Preferably, in the plane of each layer of rotating rods, adjacent rotating rods are evenly distributed at a 45º angle, and the inner end of each layer of rotating rods is integrally formed into a circular sleeve with a protrusion, which engages with the groove of the rotating shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the mesh roller assembly is movably connected to the fixed support, the fixed support is provided with a vibration component in the middle, and the controller is electrically connected to the vibration component and the motor respectively.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the fine screen extends to the right to provide a feed inlet.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] An inclined fine, medium, and coarse screen is used to form a screen drum for sieving tea leaves, separating them into different sizes: fine, medium, coarse, and extra coarse. Parallel and staggered inclined baffles are installed inside the fine, medium, and coarse screens to separate the tea leaves at the bottom of the screen drum. As the screen drum rotates and the vibration component vibrates, the tea leaves sequentially leave the bottom of the screen drum, sliding and falling while being sieved. The staggered inclined baffles cause the tea leaves to be frequently turned over during the multiple sliding process, resulting in thorough and complete sieving. This application solves the problem of tea leaves easily accumulating at the bottom of the screen drum, leading to incomplete sieving, and achieves dispersion, turning, and multi-stage sieving of the tea leaves, resulting in more thorough and complete sieving.
