Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Tea leaves are the tender leaves of the tea plant. After being picked and processed, they are used to make tea beverages, which are among the most popular drinks in the world. They have a long history and a rich cultural background. In tea processing, the tea rolling machine is a key piece of equipment that plays an important role in shaping the appearance of tea leaves and improving their internal quality.

[0003] Existing tea rolling machines mostly feed tea leaves directly after rolling without any finishing process. This causes the tea leaves to be easily squeezed and tangled, resulting in damage to their shape. Furthermore, as moisture gradually evaporates during rolling, impurities adhering to the surface fall off and are easily fed out with the tea leaves, thus affecting the quality of the tea. Therefore, these machines have certain limitations. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0023] A tea rolling machine for tea production and processing includes a processing table 1, a mounting frame 2 fixedly installed at the bottom end of the processing table 1, a rolling disc 4 fixedly installed at the center of the top end of the processing table 1, a rolling cylinder 5 provided on the top of the rolling disc 4, three extension frames 6 evenly distributed around the outer wall of the rolling cylinder 5, three sleeves 7 provided on the outside of the rolling disc 4, the bottom ends of the three sleeves 7 being fixedly installed on the processing table 1, and connecting shafts 8 rotatably installed on the inner walls of the three sleeves 7. The other ends of the three connecting shafts 8 are rotatably connected to one end of the adjacent extension frame 6. An opening is provided in the middle of both the rolling disc 4 and the processing table 1, and a feeding hopper 10 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the opening. The bottom of the 0 is threadedly connected to a feeding box 11, and the bottom of the feeding box 11 is threadedly installed with a receiving box 12. A filter screen 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the feeding box 11. Cotton pads 14 are placed inside the receiving box 12. The feeding box 11 is a sealed design, which prevents the tea leaves from being contaminated by external dust, impurities and microorganisms after feeding, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the tea leaves. The sealed design can also effectively reduce the volatilization of the tea aroma. The cotton pads 14 can be replaced and moistened regularly. When in use, the surface is moist, so it can absorb dust and impurities and prevent them from floating, further limiting the impurities and dust for subsequent centralized processing.

[0024] In this embodiment, one end of the connecting shaft 8 located inside the sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to a drive shaft 15. One end of the drive shaft 15 passes through the processing table 1 and is fixedly connected to a drive gear 16. The bottom of the drive gear 16 is provided with a rack 19. One end of the rack 19 movably passes through the mounting bracket 2 and is fixedly connected to a striking head 21. Both sides of the outer wall of the drive gear 16 are meshed with driven gears 17. The top ends of the two driven gears 17 are fixedly connected to driven shafts. The top ends of the two driven shafts are rotatably connected to the bottom end of the processing table 1. The bottom ends of the two driven gears 17 are fixed. The rack 19 is connected to a sector gear 18, and the teeth of both sector gears 18 are meshed with the outer wall of the rack 19. When the driving gear 16 meshes with the driven gear 17, it can drive the two sector gears 18 to rotate in opposite directions. When meshing with the rack 19, it can drive the rack 19 to move back and forth, thereby driving the striking head 21 to reciprocate and strike the surface of the feed box 11 to generate vibration. A track 20 is fixedly installed on the bottom of one side of the mounting frame 2. The bottom of the rack 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the track 20. The track 20 serves to support and assist the movement of the rack 19.

[0025] In this embodiment, a motor is fixedly installed on the edge of the bottom end of the processing table 1. The output end of the motor passes through the processing table 1 and is fixedly connected to one end of another connecting shaft 8 located inside the sleeve 7. The motor can not only drive the kneading cylinder 5 to knead, but also drive the drive shaft 15 to rotate. The top of the kneading cylinder 5 is provided with a cover plate 9. The cover plate 9 can be adjusted by means of an external spiral device, hydraulic system, etc., so as to accurately apply different degrees of pressure to the tea leaves in the kneading cylinder 5. This function and design are well known in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0026] In this embodiment, a base 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 2. A sliding groove is provided in the middle of the bottom of the inner wall of the mounting frame 2. A pull plate 23 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. A lifting plate 22 is fixedly installed at the top of the pull plate 23. The top of the lifting plate 22 contacts the bottom of the receiving box 12. The lifting plate 22 provides support for the receiving box 12. When disassembling the unloading box 11, the lifting plate 22 can be removed, leaving a certain gap between the mounting frame 2 and the receiving box 12, which facilitates the screw rotation of the unloading box 11 to remove it.

[0027] Working principle: During use, the motor drives the connecting shaft 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the kneading cylinder 5 to rotate under the rotational connection of the extension frame 6. The tea leaves are kneaded on the kneading disc 4. After kneading, the tea leaves are discharged through the feeding hopper 10 and fall into the feeding box 11. During the kneading process, one of the connecting shafts 8 rotates, driving the drive shaft 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive gear 16 to rotate. The drive gear 16 meshes with two driven gears 17, causing the two driven gears 17 to rotate in opposite directions. This further drives two sector gears 18 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. When one of the sector gears 18 meshes with the rack 19, it pushes the rack 19 to one side. When the other sector gear 18 meshes with the rack 19, it drives the rack 19 to move to the other side, thereby realizing the reciprocating movement of the rack 19. This in turn drives the striking head 21 to reciprocate to strike the surface of the feeding box 11. During the striking process, vibration is generated, and the clumps of tea leaves are broken up under the action of vibration. The impurities adhering to the surface can also be knocked down into the receiving box 12. When feeding, first pull the pull plate 23 to drive the lifting plate 22 away from the inside of the mounting frame 2. Then, the feeding box 11 can be screwed to separate it from the feeding hopper 10 so that the tea leaves can be taken out. Afterwards, the receiving box 12 can be screwed to collect and clean the impurities.
