Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea production technology, and in particular to a tea strip flattening machine. Background Technology

[0002] Tea leaves, commonly known as tea, generally include the leaves and buds of the tea plant. Other names include cha, jia, ming, and chuan. Tea contains catechins, cholesterol, caffeine, inositol, folic acid, and pantothenic acid, all beneficial to health. Tea beverages are one of the world's three major beverages. During processing, tea leaves are typically flattened into sheets using a tea-pressing device.

[0003] Existing tea flattening machines mostly rely on manual collection after flattening. Because tea leaves are inherently fragile, especially after flattening which further loosens their structure, workers can easily crush the leaves due to excessive force when handling them, thus damaging their integrity. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing the following technical solution:

[0005] Tea strip flattening machine, including:

[0006] A fixed frame is provided with an electric push rod and a flattening component provided at the output end of the electric push rod. A collection box is fixedly sleeved on the circumferential surface of the fixed frame and at one bottom end. Connecting rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the flattening component. A fixed frame is integrally formed at the bottom of the fixed frame.

[0007] A base plate is movably mounted at the bottom of the fixed frame. An electric push rod 2 is provided at the bottom of the collection box, and the output end of the electric push rod 2 is fixedly connected to the base plate.

[0008] An air-inflating assembly includes a movable rod fixedly connected to a connecting rod and a fixed tube disposed on the inner wall of the collection box. Multiple air outlets are connected to the fixed tube. The air outlet end of the air-inflating assembly is connected to the air inlet end of the fixed tube through an air outlet pipe. A solenoid valve is disposed inside the air outlet pipe. The electric push rod drives the flattening assembly to move up and down reciprocally while simultaneously driving the movable rod to move up and down, thereby controlling the air-inflating assembly to repeatedly draw in air and inflate it into the fixed tube.

[0009] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the flattening assembly includes a sliding plate fixedly connected to one output end of the electric push rod, guide rods slidably inserted into both sides of the sliding plate, a pressure plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide rod, and a spring sleeved on the surface of the guide rod and located between the sliding plate and the pressure plate.

[0010] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the air pumping assembly includes an air cylinder disposed on the top of the collection box and located on both sides of the fixing frame. The movable rod is movably inserted into the top of the air cylinder, and a piston is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable rod. An air inlet pipe is connected to the side wall of the air cylinder and near the bottom end. A one-way valve is provided inside the air inlet pipe.

[0011] As an improvement to the above technical solution, discharge ports are provided on both sides of the bottom of the collection box.

[0012] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a limiting groove is provided at the bottom of the fixed frame, and a step portion adapted to the limiting groove is provided on the base plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] The electric push rod moves the base plate downwards into the collection box. Once the base plate reaches the position of the fixed tube, the solenoid valve is activated, and the compressed gas inside the air pumping assembly enters the fixed tube and is ejected from the nozzle. This ejected airflow forms a powerful thrust, blowing the tea leaves that have been pressed and shaped on the base plate into the collection box, thus completing the tea leaf collection. This greatly improves collection efficiency, and the entire process does not require direct human contact with the tea leaves, avoiding damage to the integrity of the tea leaves caused by improper human operation. This ensures that the quality of the tea leaves is not affected, optimizes the production process, and makes the entire tea processing process more efficient and seamless.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0019] A tea strip flattening machine includes: a fixed frame 10, an electric push rod 12 and a flattening component disposed at the output end of the electric push rod 12, a collection box 15 fixedly sleeved on the circumferential surface of the fixed frame 10 and at one bottom end, connecting rods 14 fixedly connected to both sides of the flattening component, and a fixed frame 101 integrally formed at the bottom of the fixed frame;

[0020] The base plate 30 is movably mounted on the bottom of the fixed frame 101. The bottom of the collection box 15 is provided with an electric push rod 31, and the output end of the electric push rod 31 is fixedly connected to the base plate 30.

[0021] The air pump assembly 20 includes a movable rod 22 fixedly connected to the connecting rod 14 and a fixed tube 26 disposed on the inner wall of the collection box 15. Multiple air outlets are connected to the fixed tube 26. The air outlet end of the air pump assembly 20 is connected to the air inlet end of the fixed tube 26 through an air outlet pipe 25. An electromagnetic valve is disposed inside the air outlet pipe 25. The electric push rod 12 drives the flattening assembly to move up and down reciprocally while driving the movable rod 22 to move up and down, thereby controlling the air pump assembly 20 to repeatedly draw in air and fill the fixed tube 26.

[0022] Specifically, the extension or retraction of the electric push rod 31 can drive the base plate 30 to move up and down. When the electric push rod 31 moves the base plate 30 to the bottom of the fixed frame 101, the tea leaves are laid flat on the base plate 30. The fixed frame 101 restricts the position of the tea leaves. Then, the electric push rod 12 is activated, driving the flattening component to move downwards and applying mechanical pressure to the tea leaves placed above the base plate 30. As the flattening component continues to press down, the tea leaves are gradually pressed into the required strip shape under pressure. After the tea leaves are successfully pressed into shape by the flattening component, since the connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the flattening component, and the movable rod 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 14, when the electric push rod 12 drives the flattening component to move up and down, the connecting rod 14 will move synchronously with the flattening component. Therefore, when the movable rod 22 moves downwards, the air pumping component 20 compresses the previously sucked-in air. When the tea leaves are pressed into shape... Then, the electric push rod 31 is activated, causing the base plate 30 to move downwards and enter the collection box 15. When the base plate 30 moves to the position of the fixed tube 26, the solenoid valve is activated, and the compressed gas inside the air pumping assembly 20 enters the fixed tube 26 and is sprayed out by the nozzle. These sprayed airflows form a strong thrust, blowing the tea leaves that have been pressed on the base plate 30 into the collection box 15, completing the tea leaf collection. Since the flattening assembly covers the fixed frame 101, the tea leaves will not be blown outside the collection box 15. After the tea leaves on the base plate 30 are collected, the electric push rod 12 is activated, causing the flattening assembly to move upwards. At the same time, the electric push rod 31 is activated, causing the base plate 30 to move upwards. The flattening assembly moves upwards through the connecting rod and the movable rod 22, drawing external air into the air pumping assembly 20 to prepare for the next air spray.

[0023] In one embodiment, the flattening assembly includes a sliding plate 11 fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 12, guide rods slidably inserted into both sides of the sliding plate 11, a pressure plate 13 fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide rods, and a spring sleeved on the surface of the guide rods and located between the sliding plate 11 and the pressure plate 13. When the sliding plate 11 drives the pressure plate 13 to move downwards until the pressure plate 13 presses against the surface of the tea leaves, the electric push rod 12 continues to press down, the spring undergoes elastic deformation, the guide rod slides relative to the sliding plate 11, and the pressure plate 13 and the tea leaves are in flexible contact. The pressing process is slow, which has a good protective effect, improves the quality of extrusion molding, and avoids the pressure plate 13 applying excessive pressure to the tea leaves at any moment, which would damage the tea leaves. At the same time, the elastic force of the spring can keep the pressure of the pressure plate 13 relatively stable during the movement, ensuring that the pressure on all parts of the tea leaves is uniform, so that the tea leaves are pressed into shape more evenly and consistently.

[0024] In one embodiment, the air pump assembly 20 includes an air cylinder 21 disposed on the top of the collection box 15 and located on both sides of the fixing frame 10. A movable rod 22 is movably inserted into the top of the air cylinder 21, and a piston 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable rod 22. An air inlet pipe 24 is connected to the side wall of the air cylinder 21 near its bottom. The air inlet pipe 24 is equipped with a one-way valve. When the connecting rod 14 drives the piston 23 downward via the movable rod 22, the air cylinder 21 is filled with air near the piston. When the air pressure at the bottom of cylinder 23 increases, the one-way valve in the air inlet pipe 24 closes to prevent backflow of gas. When the solenoid valve opens, the compressed air in cylinder 21 enters the fixed pipe 26 through the air outlet pipe 25. When the movable rod 22 moves upward, the piston 23 moves upward, the space at the bottom of piston 23 increases, the air pressure decreases, and the outside air pushes open the one-way valve in the air inlet pipe 24 under atmospheric pressure and enters cylinder 21 to prepare for the next compressed air. This cycle continues to store compressed air for the subsequent tea collection process.

[0025] In one embodiment, the bottom two sides of the collection box 15 are provided with discharge ports 151, through which the tea leaves in the collection box 15 are collected in a concentrated manner.

[0026] The bottom of the fixed frame 101 is provided with a limiting groove, and the bottom plate 30 is provided with a step portion that matches the limiting groove. When the bottom plate 30 moves to the bottom of the fixed frame 101, the step portion is embedded in the limiting groove, and the two fit together tightly, which can further limit the position of the bottom plate 30 and prevent it from shaking during the tea placement and subsequent flattening process.

[0027] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it.
