Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea scattering machine technology, specifically a tea scattering machine for black tea production. Background Technology
[0002] Processing fresh tea leaves into finished tea requires multiple processing steps. After certain processing steps, fresh tea leaves need to undergo sun-drying, which involves exposing the tea leaves to sunlight to remove moisture and solidify the components within the tea. Furthermore, the quality of the sun-dried tea is closely related to the evenness with which the tea leaves are spread out during the sun-drying process.
[0003] In existing technologies, tea leaves are typically loosened manually and then scattered onto a drying area for spreading. However, manual loosening and scattering of tea leaves involves human contact, which can easily contaminate the leaves. Furthermore, manual scattering is unstable and cannot precisely control the uniformity of the spread, thus reducing tea quality and resulting in low production efficiency. Therefore, we propose a tea leaf scattering machine for black tea production. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of existing manual tea leaf spreading and scattering methods, which are prone to contamination due to human contact with the tea leaves and have poor stability, this utility model provides a tea leaf spreading machine for black tea production. It has the advantages of improving production efficiency, avoiding tea leaf contamination, and improving the quality of tea production, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: A tea leaf scattering machine for black tea production includes a hopper located directly above the operating table. A receiving box with an arc-shaped bottom is tightly attached to the bottom of the hopper, and a scattering box is connected to one side of the receiving box. The bottom of the scattering box has a trumpet-shaped structure. Support legs are symmetrically connected to the outer walls of both the hopper and the scattering box. A symmetrically arranged adjusting baffle is connected to the hopper through a third rotating shaft. The two adjusting baffles have an upward-facing V-shaped structure. One end of the third rotating shaft extends through to the outside of the hopper and is fixedly connected to a first motor. A fourth rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the receiving box. Multiple levers are circumferentially fastened to the outer wall of the fourth rotating shaft, extending one end of the fourth rotating shaft to the outside of the receiving box. The end of the fourth rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a second motor.

The side of the receiving plate is rotatably connected to the connecting plates, and multiple return springs are connected between the side of the receiving plate and the inner wall of the hopper.
[0007] Optionally, the other side of the receiving plate extends to the receiving box, and a first rotating shaft is provided below the receiving plate for rotating connection with the hopper. Multiple cams are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the first rotating shaft.
[0008] One end of the first rotating shaft extends to the outside of the hopper, and the first pulley is coaxially connected to the first rotating shaft and the fourth rotating shaft. The first belt is connected between adjacent first pulleys.
[0009] Optionally, multiple rotating rollers are rotatably connected inside the operating table via a second rotating shaft, and a conveyor belt is connected to the outside of the rotating rollers, with a receiving tray for receiving materials placed on the conveyor belt;
[0010] Furthermore, multiple second pulleys are fastened to one end of each second shaft, and adjacent second pulleys are connected by a second belt, and the end of one of the second shafts is fixedly connected to a third motor;

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a tea leaf spreading machine for black tea production, including a hopper 4 located directly above the operating table 11, a receiving box 25 with an arc-shaped bottom tightly attached to the bottom of the hopper 4, and a spreading box 16 connected to one side of the receiving box 25, wherein the bottom of the spreading box 16 has a trumpet-shaped structure, such as... Figure 1 As shown, in order to improve the overall stability of the device, support legs 17 are symmetrically connected to the outer walls of the hopper 4 and the spreading box 16.
[0023] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, symmetrically arranged adjusting baffles 5 are connected inside the hopper 4 via a third rotating shaft 22, and the two adjusting baffles 5 have an upward-facing V-shaped structure. One end of the third rotating shaft 22 extends through to the outside of the hopper 4 and is fixedly connected to the first motor 6. By driving the third rotating shaft 22 to rotate through the first motor 6, the size of the opening formed between the bottoms of the two adjusting baffles 5 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the falling speed of the tea leaves, which greatly improves the practicality of the device.
[0024] Meanwhile, an L-shaped receiving plate 18 is provided at the bottom of the adjusting baffle 5 for receiving falling tea leaves. Multiple connecting plates 28 are fastened to the inner wall of the hopper 4, and the side of the receiving plate 18 is rotatably connected to the connecting plates 28. Multiple return springs 26 are connected between the side of the receiving plate 18 and the inner wall of the hopper 4. The other side of the receiving plate 18 extends to the receiving box 25. A first rotating shaft 8 is provided below the receiving plate 18 and is rotatably connected to the hopper 4. Multiple cams 27 are fastened to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft 8. The cams 27 rotate and repeatedly contact the bottom of the receiving plate 18. Under the action of the return springs 26, the receiving plate 18 can be driven to rotate back and forth along the connecting plates 28, thereby accelerating the falling speed of the tea leaves and effectively improving the processing efficiency.
[0025] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in order to achieve synchronous rotation of the first rotating shaft 8 and the fourth rotating shaft 23, one end of the first rotating shaft 8 is extended through to the outside of the hopper 4, and the first pulley 7 is coaxially connected to the first rotating shaft 8 and the fourth rotating shaft 23, and the first belt 9 is connected between adjacent first pulleys 7.
[0026] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, a fourth rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected inside the receiving box 25, and multiple paddle plates 24 are circumferentially fastened to the outer wall of the fourth rotating shaft 23. One end of the fourth rotating shaft 23 extends to the outside of the receiving box 25, and the end of the fourth rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the second motor 10. The tea leaves falling through the receiving plate 18 are moved into the receiving box 25, and driven by the rotating paddle plates 24, the tea leaves can be evenly scattered.
[0027] In summary, this tea leaf scattering machine for black tea production, when in use, has multiple rotating rollers 21 rotatably connected to the operating table 11 via a second rotating shaft 15. A conveyor belt 2 is connected to the outside of the rotating rollers 21, and a receiving tray 1 for receiving the material is placed on the conveyor belt 2. The falling tea leaves can be evenly dispersed in the receiving tray 1 under the action of the rotating deflector 24, avoiding the pollution caused by manual scattering. At the same time, it can also ensure that the tea leaves are evenly scattered, improving the processing quality. In addition, multiple second pulleys 12 are fastened to one end of the second rotating shaft 15, and adjacent second pulleys 12 are connected to each other by a second belt. A third motor 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the second rotating shaft 15.
[0028] To prevent tea leaves from splashing during their fall, protective plates 3 are symmetrically connected to the top of the operating platform 11. To collect the tea leaves falling from the conveyor belt 2, multiple hoppers 20 are fastened to the bottom of the operating platform 11, and a dropping plate 14 is placed directly below the hoppers 20. The base 13 is fastened to the legs of the operating platform 11, and the dropping plate 14 is placed on the base 13.
