Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea cleaning equipment, specifically to a tea cleaning device that can quickly separate floating objects. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese tea culture is ancient, profound, and extensive, with a history of thousands of years. It is an important part of China's excellent culture. During the tea picking process, due to differences in environment, climate, and season, the picked tea leaves contain pesticide residues, dust, and mud. It is difficult to clean the substances attached to the tea leaves during the tea processing. Therefore, the tea leaves need to be cleaned before frying. At present, although there are some tea cleaning devices on the market, they generally use stirring blades or similar structures to stir and clean the tea leaves in the cleaning tank. This process can easily cause secondary damage to the tea leaves. Moreover, the cleaning process generally involves two types of substances: sediment and floating matter. Existing cleaning equipment cannot separate these in a timely manner. In particular, floating matter is prone to re-adhesion when the tea leaves are removed after cleaning. At the same time, if the cleaning drum is always in water during cleaning, the tea leaves may not tumble properly, making it difficult to effectively separate the adhering substances. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a tea washing device that can quickly separate floating objects. It can solve the problems that tea leaves are easily damaged during washing and that floating objects cannot be quickly separated after washing. It has a simple structure, is easy to operate, is easy to assemble and disassemble, and cleans thoroughly.

[0004] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following solution:

[0005] A tea-washing device for quickly separating floating impurities includes a support frame, a water storage tank mounted on the support frame, a water inlet pipe interface located at the upper end of one side of the water storage tank, a first water outlet located at the bottom of the water storage tank, a washing roller located inside the water storage tank, and a drive mechanism located on the water storage tank for rotating the washing roller. Impurities that sink to the bottom are discharged outwards through the first water outlet. The washing roller includes a horizontally arranged cylindrical body and a cylinder cover located on the side of the cylindrical body. When the cylindrical body and the cylinder cover are closed, they form a cylindrical cavity for washing tea leaves. Both the cylindrical body and the cylinder cover are provided with a plurality of evenly distributed honeycomb-shaped through holes. The cylindrical cavity communicates with the water storage tank through the through holes. A water level adjustment mechanism is provided at the open end of the water storage tank. The water level in the water storage tank is controlled by the water level adjustment mechanism. Impurities floating on the water surface are discharged through the water level adjustment mechanism, and impurities that settle at the bottom of the water storage tank are discharged outwards through the first water outlet.

[0006] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a control motor located on one side of the water storage tank and two support shafts located inside the water storage tank. One of the support shafts is connected to the rotating shaft of the control motor. Both ends of the cleaning drum are rotated onto the support shafts. The cleaning drum is driven to rotate in both directions by the control motor.

[0007] Furthermore, the water level regulating mechanism includes a U-shaped regulating groove provided on the side wall of the water storage tank and a water level regulating plate slidably disposed in the U-shaped regulating groove. The water level in the water storage tank is controlled by the up-and-down extension and retraction of the water level regulating plate in the U-shaped regulating groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the water level regulating plate is provided with an outwardly protruding driving block on its outer side, and the water level regulating plate moves up and down through the driving block.

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing gasket is provided inside the U-shaped regulating groove, and the water level regulating plate and the U-shaped regulating groove are waterproofed and sealed through the sealing gasket.

[0010] Furthermore, the opening end of the water storage tank adopts an inclined structure, and the water in the water storage tank flows outward through the lowest side of the top opening. The water level regulating machine is located at the lowest point of the side wall of the water storage tank.

[0011] Furthermore, a guide pipe is provided on the outside of the water storage tank, and a funnel-shaped guide port is provided at the upper end of the guide pipe. The guide port is located on the outside of the U-shaped regulating groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner side of the first water outlet has a conical, downward-recessed structure. The water storage tank forms a sedimentation chamber through the conical, recessed structure of the first water outlet. The sediment that settles downward through the cleaning roller is located at the bottom of the sedimentation chamber, and the sealing cap of the first water outlet is located at the bottom of the sedimentation chamber.

[0013] Furthermore, a switch valve is provided on the water inlet pipe interface, and the flow rate in the water inlet pipe interface is controlled by the switch valve.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This system utilizes water rinsing and the agitation of tea leaves against the water surface to quickly separate substances adhering to and mixed with the tea leaves. Particulate matter such as mud and sand is discharged through different openings and settles downwards, while lighter substances like dust and pesticides float on the surface. When the water level is higher than the washing drum, floating impurities are regulated by the water level adjustment mechanism and discharged with the water flow. Denser impurities settle and are discharged from the first outlet at the bottom. Because the water level is adjustable, the tea leaves can more effectively impact the water surface during rotation, making tea cleaning easier and more effective at removing adhering substances. The washing drum has no agitation structure, preventing secondary damage to the tea leaves and ensuring their integrity while effectively cleaning. This effectively solves the problems of secondary damage during tea cleaning and the inability to quickly separate floating substances. The system is simple in structure, easy to operate, convenient to assemble and disassemble, and provides thorough cleaning. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a tea washing device capable of quickly separating floating debris includes a support 19, a water storage tank 11 mounted on the support 19, a water inlet 13 located at the upper end of one side of the water storage tank 11, a first water outlet 20 located at the bottom of the water storage tank 11, a washing roller 8 located inside the water storage tank 11, and a drive mechanism 17 mounted on the water storage tank 11 for rotating the washing roller 8. Sinking impurities are discharged outwards through the first water outlet 20. The washing roller 8 includes a horizontally arranged cylinder 10 and a cylinder cover 12 located on the side of the cylinder 10. When the body 10 and the cover 12 are closed, a cylindrical cavity for washing tea leaves is formed. Both the body 10 and the cover 12 are provided with a plurality of evenly distributed honeycomb-shaped through holes 9. The cylindrical cavity is connected to the water storage tank 11 through the through holes 9. The water storage tank 11 is provided with a water level regulating mechanism 5 at its open end. The water level in the water storage tank 11 is controlled by the water level regulating mechanism 5. Impurities floating on the water surface are discharged through the water level regulating mechanism 5, and impurities settled at the bottom of the water storage tank 11 are discharged outward through the first water outlet 20.

[0021] In actual use, the cylinder body 10 and the cylinder cover 12 form a cylindrical cleaning drum 8 with honeycomb-shaped through holes 9 on the cylinder wall. After opening the cylinder cover 12, simply put the tea leaves to be cleaned into the cylindrical cavity, and then close the cylinder cover 12. Then, inject clean water into the water storage tank 11 through the water inlet pipe interface 13. When the water level of the clean water is above the cleaning drum 8 to a certain height, start the drive mechanism 17 to rotate it. The clean water rinsing and the tea leaves hitting the water surface quickly separate the substances attached to the surface of the tea leaves and those mixed in with the tea leaves. Particulate matter such as mud and sand are discharged from different through holes 9 and settle downwards, while lighter substances such as dust and pesticides float on the water surface. The impurities in the tea leaves are cleaned by the continuous tumbling of the cleaning drum 8. When the water level is higher than the cleaning drum 8, the floating impurities are adjusted by the water level adjustment mechanism 5 and discharged out with the water flow, while the denser impurities settle and exit from the bottom first outlet. The water is discharged outward through outlet 20. After the floating impurities are basically discharged, the water level can be lowered again through the water level adjustment mechanism 5 so that the water level is lower than the upper surface of the cleaning drum 8. Alternatively, the sedimented impurities can be quickly discharged through the first outlet 20 before being closed. At this time, the water in the storage tank 11 is relatively clean, and the water level is also lower than the cleaning drum 8. After the cleaning drum 8 is rotated again, the initially cleaned tea leaves can be washed again. Moreover, since the water level is adjustable, the tea leaves can more effectively impact the water surface when rotating, making tea cleaning more convenient and more effective in removing adhering substances from the tea leaves. At the same time, there is no stirring structure inside the cleaning drum 8, so it will not cause secondary damage to the tea leaves. This ensures the integrity of the tea leaves while effectively cleaning them, effectively solving the problems of secondary damage to tea leaves during cleaning and the inability to quickly separate floating substances after cleaning. The structure is simple, the operation is easy, the disassembly and assembly are convenient, and the cleaning is thorough.

[0022] A further improvement is made to the driving mechanism 17, which includes a control motor 16 located on one side of the water storage tank 11 and two support shafts 15 located inside the water storage tank 11. One of the support shafts 15 is connected to the rotation shaft of the control motor 16. The two ends of the cleaning roller 8 are rotated onto the support shafts 15. The cleaning roller 8 is driven to rotate forward and backward by the control motor 16.

[0023] When the cleaning drum 8 is rotated and cleaned by the drive mechanism 17, the two ends of the cleaning drum 8 are fixed to the two sides of the water storage tank 11 by two support shafts 15. One support shaft 15 is connected to the rotating shaft of the control motor 16, so that the cleaning drum 8 is suspended and fixed inside the water storage tank 11, making it easier to clean the bottom of the water storage tank 11, and making the sedimentation of impurities such as mud and sand more effective.

[0024] A further improvement is made to the water level regulating mechanism 5, which includes a U-shaped regulating groove 2 provided on the side wall of the water storage tank 11 and a water level regulating plate 6 slidably disposed in the U-shaped regulating groove 2. The water level in the water storage tank 11 is controlled by the up-and-down extension and retraction of the water level regulating plate 6 in the U-shaped regulating groove 2.

[0025] A U-shaped adjustment groove 2 is machined on the side wall of the water storage tank 11. The open end of the U-shaped adjustment groove 2 penetrates through the side wall of the water storage tank 11, and its bottom part is located inside the side wall of the water storage tank 11. The water level adjustment plate 6 is embedded and slidably installed in the U-shaped adjustment groove 2 on both sides and bottom. When the water level adjustment plate 6 moves up and down, it is more convenient, more secure, and more stable. The water level in the water storage tank 11 can be controlled simply by moving the water level adjustment plate 6 up and down, making the water level control more flexible. The lowest control water level of the water level adjustment plate 6 is lower than 2 / 3 of the height of the cleaning roller 8. After the water level adjustment plate 6 lowers the water level, part of the cleaning roller 8 can be exposed, making it cleaner during cleaning.

[0026] A further improvement is made in that the water level regulating plate 6 is provided with an outwardly protruding driving block 7 on its outer side, and the water level regulating plate 6 moves up and down through the driving block 7; a sealing gasket 3 is provided inside the U-shaped regulating groove 2, and the water level regulating plate 6 and the U-shaped regulating groove 2 are waterproofed and sealed through the sealing gasket 3.

[0027] When the water level regulating plate 6 is moved up and down, a protruding drive block 7 is installed on its outer side, which allows it to move up and down easily, making the raising and lowering of the water level regulating plate 6 more convenient. In addition, a sealing gasket 3 is installed between the U-shaped regulating groove 2 and the water level regulating plate 6. The sealing gasket 3 is generally fixed at the open end of the U-shaped regulating groove 2. The sealing gasket 3 can prevent impurities from flowing into the U-shaped regulating groove 2 from the gap between the two, and can also clamp and fix the water level regulating plate 6, so that it stops at any height position in the U-shaped regulating groove 2.

[0028] A further improvement is that the opening end of the water storage tank 11 adopts an inclined structure, and the water in the water storage tank 11 flows outward through the lowest side of the top opening. The water level adjustment mechanism 5 is located at the lowest point of the side wall of the water storage tank 11.

[0029] The opening of the water storage tank 11 adopts an inclined structure, so that when the water in the water storage tank 11 is full to a certain extent, it can be discharged from the lowest end of the water storage tank 11 as soon as possible, thereby avoiding the problem of uncontrollable sewage flow. Moreover, the water level regulating mechanism is installed at the lowest point of the side wall of the water storage tank 11. Generally, the lowest point of the water storage tank 11 is also higher than the cleaning drum 8, and sewage is discharged from this area. When the water level regulating mechanism 5 lowers the water level again, sewage can also be discharged from the same side, avoiding the spread of the contamination range of the cylinder wall.

[0030] A further improvement is made by providing a guide pipe 1 on the outside of the water storage tank 11, and a funnel-shaped guide port 4 at the upper end of the guide pipe 1, with the guide port 4 located on the outside of the U-shaped regulating groove 2.

[0031] When sewage flows out from the opening of the storage tank 11, the sewage can be quickly collected through the guide port 4 and then flow into the guide pipe 1 and discharged downwards, thereby improving the accuracy of sewage flow, avoiding sewage overflow, and also avoiding the problem of large-area pollution on the outer tank wall.

[0032] A further improvement is that the inner side of the first water outlet 20 has a conical downward recessed structure, and the water storage tank 11 forms a sedimentation chamber 18 through the conical recessed structure of the first water outlet 20. The sediment that settles downward through the cleaning roller 8 is located at the bottom of the sedimentation chamber 18, and the sealing cap of the first water outlet 20 is located at the bottom of the sedimentation chamber 18.

[0033] The bottom of the water storage tank 11 forms a conical, downward-sunken sedimentation chamber 18. When sand and other impurities fall from the washing drum 8, they automatically accumulate at the bottom of the sedimentation chamber 18. Moreover, when the washing drum 8 is cleaning, the impact on the water flow at the bottom is smaller, making it less likely for the sedimented impurities to flow upwards with the water flow. This effectively avoids the probability of tea leaves re-adhering during the washing process. After a period of sedimentation, most of the heavier silt in the water storage tank 11 will settle to the bottom. Meanwhile, the first outlet 20 is located at the bottom of the sedimentation chamber 18. When the external seal of the first outlet 20 is opened, the sediment can be discharged immediately. Especially when a large amount of washing is required, after a large amount of wastewater is discharged, it can be sealed again in time, so that the water in the upper part can be used for the next washing. The amount discharged can be controlled according to the specific bottom sediment and wastewater height range, which saves water. The sealing cover at the bottom of the first outlet 20 can adopt an electrically controlled switch valve 14 structure, which can more effectively and quickly close the seal.

[0034] A further improvement is that a switch valve 14 is provided on the water inlet pipe interface 13, and the flow rate in the water inlet pipe interface 13 is controlled by the switch valve 14.

[0035] A switch valve 14 is installed on the water inlet interface 13. When the water pipe is connected to the end of the water inlet interface 13 for water supply, the water flow can be directly controlled by the switch valve 14, making the water supply control in the water storage tank 11 more convenient and simple. When water supply is not required, there is no need to go to the water source for switch control. Moreover, the switch valve 14 adopts a manual rotation structure, which reduces manufacturing costs and makes production more convenient. The water inlet interface 13 is generally located on the side of the higher cylinder wall of the water storage tank 11, and its height is located at the upper end of the cylinder wall. When the water flows in, it will not affect the flow at the bottom, so that the water in the settling chamber will not flow violently when the cleaning drum 8 is not rotating. Especially when it is located opposite the water level adjustment mechanism 5 and its height is within the corresponding height of the U-shaped adjustment groove 2, it can create a greater impact flow in the water surface area, so that the floating impurities will flow out faster to the upper opening of the U-shaped adjustment groove 2.

[0036] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
