Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea-making equipment technology, and in particular to a tea-rolling equipment that facilitates feeding. Background Technology

[0002] Rolling is a crucial step in shaping pan-fired green tea into strips. Rolling utilizes mechanical force to subject the withered leaves to various interactions—pushing, pressing, twisting, and friction—within a rolling drum, forming tightly rolled strips. Rolling also breaks down the leaf cells, promotes the oxidation of some polyphenols, reduces the bitterness of pan-fired green tea, increases its rich and mellow flavor, and initially shapes the tea leaves. Therefore, rolling is a major process affecting the appearance and quality of the tea leaves, and a key step in determining the tea's brewing endurance.

[0003] After the tea processing equipment has finished processing the tea, the tea leaves after kneading on the kneading disc still need to be manually removed, which is very troublesome. Moreover, tea leaves will remain on the kneading disc after manual processing, resulting in unnecessary waste and making it difficult to make full use of the tea leaves. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of the inconvenience of collecting and discharging the kneaded tea leaves from the kneading disc during the kneading process of existing tea kneading equipment, there is a need for a tea kneading equipment that is easy to load.

A lifting frame 19 is connected to the drive end of the motor 16 through a threaded rod 17 and a threaded sleeve 18. A lifting ring 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting frame 19. A kneading plate 21 for squeezing tea leaves is connected to the inner circumference of the lifting ring 20 through a locking block 22 and a coil spring 23. A brush plate 24 for cleaning tea leaves is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the kneading plate 21. A slot 25 is opened at the rear end of the brush plate 24. A spring plate 26 for limiting the position is rotatably connected to the rear side of the top of the kneading plate 21.

[0034] Specifically, after the tea leaves are kneaded, the brush plate 24 cleans the tea leaves on the kneading disc 1 to prevent tea leaves from remaining on the kneading disc 1. The handle 8 is held and rotated, which drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate. Under the action of bevel gear 6 and bevel gear 5, the baffle 4 is removed from blocking the discharge port 3, allowing the kneaded tea leaves to fall into the appropriate position through the discharge port 3. Through the cooperation between the discharge port 3, the baffle 4, the handle 8 and the brush plate 24, the kneaded tea leaves can be effectively concentrated and discharged, reducing the time and manpower required for manual cleaning, avoiding tea leaves remaining on the kneading disc, thereby reducing tea waste in the production process and improving production efficiency and output.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] As one of the optimized structural designs for Example 1, such as Figures 1-5As shown, a connecting rod 11 is located at the drive end of motor 10, and a connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the top of connecting rod 11. Connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tripod 13. Connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to the top of the kneading disc 1. A threaded rod 17 is located at the drive end of motor 26, and a threaded sleeve 18 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of threaded rod 17. The threaded sleeve 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting frame 19 and slidably connected to the left end of the support frame 15. The threaded rod 17 is rotatably connected to the top of the tripod 13. The end of the device includes a locking block 22 located on the inner wall of the lifting ring 20, a coil spring 23 at the rear end of the locking block 22, the locking block 22 being slidably connected to the inner wall of the kneading plate 21, one end of the coil spring 23 being located at the rear end of the locking block 22, and the other end of the coil spring 23 being located on the inner wall of the kneading plate 21, the rotating rod 7 being rotatably connected to the bottom left side of the kneading disc 1, the baffle 4 being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the kneading disc 1, the kneading plate 21 being rotatably connected to the inner circumference of the lifting ring 20, the lifting ring 20 being located on the inner wall of the storage bucket 14, and the spring plate 26 being located on the inner wall of the slot 25.

[0037] Specifically, after kneading, the spring plate 26 can be rotated to release its engagement with the slot 25. Under the action of the locking block 22 and the coil spring 23, the kneading plate 21 and the brush plate 24 are rotated counterclockwise, and the locking block 22 is engaged in the opposite slot. Then, the spring plate 26 is rotated to limit the kneading plate 21, preventing the locking block 22 from disengaging during operation. Through the cooperation between the lifting ring 20, the kneading plate 21, the locking block 22, the coil spring 23, the brush plate 24 and the spring plate 26, the kneading plate 21 and the brush plate 24 can be quickly replaced, reducing downtime and allowing the equipment to adapt to different tasks more quickly. This ensures the best effect of the tea kneading and cleaning process, thereby improving overall production efficiency.

[0038] Working principle: The tea leaves to be kneaded are fed into the storage bin 14 through the funnel 28. The motor 10 is started, driving the connecting rod 11 to rotate. Then, under the action of the connecting rod 22 and the tripod 13, the storage bin 14 rotates on the kneading disc 1. The motor 216 is then started, driving the threaded rod 17 to rotate. This causes the threaded sleeve 18 and the lifting frame 19 to move the kneading plate 21 downward through the lifting ring 20, compressing the tea leaves. The tea leaves are kneaded by the raised strips 2. After kneading, the handle 8 is grasped and rotated, causing the rotating rod 7 to rotate. Under the action of the bevel gear 26 and bevel gear 15, the baffle 4 is removed from the outlet 3, allowing the kneaded tea leaves to fall into the appropriate position through the outlet 3. When the next batch of tea leaves needs to be kneaded, the baffle 4 is blocked from the outlet 3 through the cooperation of the bevel gear 15, bevel gear 26, rotating rod 7, and handle 8. Then, the kneading plate 21 is raised by motor 21 to its highest point. After reaching the highest point, a new batch of tea leaves is put into the storage bucket 14 through funnel 28 to start kneading the tea leaves. After kneading, the spring plate 26 can be rotated to release the engagement of the slot 25. Under the action of the locking block 22 and the disc spring 23, the kneading plate 21 and the brush plate 24 are rotated counterclockwise, and the locking block 22 is engaged in the opposite slot. Then, the spring plate 26 is rotated to limit the kneading plate 21 to prevent the locking block 22 from disengaging during the operation of the equipment. Through the cooperation between the lifting ring 20, the kneading plate 21, the locking block 22, the disc spring 23, the brush plate 24 and the spring plate 26, the kneading plate 21 and the brush plate 24 can be quickly replaced, reducing downtime and allowing the equipment to adapt to different tasks more quickly, ensuring the best effect of the tea leaf kneading and cleaning process.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
