AI Technical Summary
Existing tea-stripping machines discharge tea leaves prematurely in open-type troughs before they are fully formed into strips, resulting in inconsistent quality. In contrast, closed-type troughs have low extraction efficiency.
A pot body with a rolling groove was designed. With the reciprocating motion of the drive mechanism, the tea leaves are frequently turned and gradually formed into strips. At the same time, a sealing mechanism is set at the opening of the rolling groove to prevent the tea leaves from being discharged prematurely before they are fully rolled. The adjustable sealing mechanism enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment.
This process improves the consistency of tea quality and the efficiency of tea removal during the tea leaf shaping process, ensuring that the tea leaves are easily removed after they are fully formed into strips, thus improving the efficiency and quality of tea processing.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically to a tea leaf straightening machine. Background Technology
[0002] Tea leaf shaping is a crucial step in tea processing, directly impacting the appearance and quality of the tea. Traditional tea leaf shaping relies primarily on manual labor, which is inefficient and labor-intensive, making it unsuitable for large-scale production. With the development of tea processing machinery, tea leaf shaping machines have gradually been introduced into the production process to improve efficiency and tea quality.
[0003] However, existing tea-stripping machines still have some problems in the stripping process. For example, in open-type tea troughs, some tea leaves are discharged prematurely before fully forming into strips, resulting in inconsistent tea quality. While closed-type tea troughs have good stripping effects, their efficiency in removing processed tea leaves is relatively low. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a tea-stripping machine that can effectively solve the above problems to improve the efficiency and quality of tea processing. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, this application provides a tea leaf straightening machine to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A tea leaf straightening machine includes: a drive control mechanism, wherein a mounting platform is installed on the lower side of the drive control mechanism, and further includes;
[0007] A tea-forming mechanism is installed on the upper side of the mounting platform. In conjunction with the reciprocating motion of the drive control mechanism, the tea leaves are frequently turned over and over, causing the tea leaves to form strips. The tea-forming mechanism includes a mounting base, and a trough body is installed on the inner side of the mounting base. A plurality of rolling grooves are evenly spaced on the inner side of the trough body. The diameter of the opening end of the rolling groove is larger than the diameter of its closed end.
[0008] A heating mechanism is installed on the inner side of the mounting base and is located on the lower side of the pot body to heat the tea leaves inside the pot body and dry the tea leaves.
[0009] Optionally, a sealing mechanism is provided at the opening of the rolling groove to block the opening of the rolling groove.
[0010] Optionally, the sealing mechanism includes a sealing plate, the inner side of which is provided with a discharge groove corresponding to the rolling groove, and the end of the discharge groove near the body of the pot is provided with an installation groove that fits the opening of the pot body.
[0011] Optionally, an angle adjustment mechanism is installed on both sides of the blocking mechanism to adjust the tilt angle of the blocking mechanism.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. The tea leaf shaping machine provided in this application, by setting a trough body with a rolling groove, and cooperating with the reciprocating motion of the drive mechanism, enables the tea leaves to be frequently turned over in the trough, causing the tea leaves to gradually form strips. The diameter of the open end of the rolling groove is larger than the diameter of the closed end, so that the tea leaves can naturally move towards the open end during the turning process, thereby allowing the tea leaves to be gradually discharged outwards during the rolling process, which facilitates the removal of the tea leaves.
[0018] 2. By installing a sealing mechanism at the opening of the rolling groove, the tea leaves can be effectively prevented from being discharged prematurely before they are fully rolled, ensuring the consistent rolling effect and quality of the tea. The angle of the sealing mechanism is adjustable, further enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 The present application will be further described in detail through specific embodiments.
[0028] The present invention provides a tea sorting machine, including a drive control mechanism 1, which serves as the power source for driving reciprocating motion. A mounting platform 2 is installed on the lower side of the drive control mechanism 1. The drive control mechanism 1 is the same as the control console used in common tea sorting machines on the market, which controls the reciprocating motion of the trough.
[0029] A tea-forming mechanism 3 is installed on the upper side of the mounting platform 2. In conjunction with the reciprocating motion of the drive control mechanism 1, the tea leaves are frequently turned over and over, causing the tea leaves to form strips. The tea-forming mechanism 3 includes a mounting base 301. A pot body 302 is installed on the inner side of the mounting base 301. Several rolling grooves 303 are evenly spaced on the inner side of the pot body 302. The diameter of the opening end of the rolling groove 303 is larger than the diameter of its closed end, making the rolling groove 303 narrower inside and wider outside. When the pot body 302 is driven by the drive control mechanism 1 to reciprocate, it can turn over the tea leaves and guide the tea leaves that are gradually rolled into strips towards the opening of the rolling groove 303, so that the tea leaves rolled into strips can be discharged from the opening.
[0030] A heating mechanism 7 is installed on the inner side of the mounting base 301 and is located on the lower side of the pot body 302. It heats the tea leaves inside the pot body 302 and dries the tea leaves. The heating mechanism 7 has several heating rods built in and controls the heating of the heating mechanism 7 by being electrically connected to the drive control mechanism 1.
[0031] To prevent some tea leaves from being discharged before they are fully rolled, the length of the rolling groove 303 can be appropriately extended, or a sealing mechanism 4 can be installed at the opening of the rolling groove 303 to block the opening of the rolling groove 303.
[0032] Angle adjustment mechanisms 5 are installed on both sides of the sealing mechanism 4 to adjust the tilt angle of the sealing mechanism 4. The angle adjustment mechanism 5 includes a mounting rod 501, a hydraulic rod 502 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting rod 501, a connecting shaft 503 is movably connected to one end of the hydraulic rod 502, and one end of the connecting shaft 503 is fixed to the outer side of the sealing mechanism 4. A limit shaft 504 is movably connected to the end of the sealing mechanism 4 facing the strip-arranging mechanism 3.
[0033] The sealing mechanism 4 includes a sealing plate 401. The inner side of the sealing plate 401 is provided with a discharge groove 402 corresponding to the rolling groove 303. The end of the discharge groove 402 near the pot body 302 is provided with an installation groove 403, which fits the opening of the pot body 302 to prevent tea leaves from falling out.
[0034] Furthermore, the hydraulic rod 502 and the connecting shaft 503 can both slide and rotate, and the sealing plate 401 and the limiting shaft 504 can both slide and rotate.
[0035] Specifically, when the pot body 302 reciprocates, the mounting groove 403 should fit snugly against the pot body 302, and cooperate with the movable connection between the sealing plate 401 and the limiting shaft 504, as well as the movable connection between the connecting shaft 503 and the hydraulic rod 502, so that the sealing plate 401 can reciprocate with the pot body 302, avoiding the formation of an interlaced gap between the rolling groove 303 and the discharge groove 402 during the reciprocating motion of the pot body 302, which would cause the tea leaves to leak out directly.
[0036] A connecting blocking plate 6 is also installed at the opening of the trough body 302 to compensate for the gap between the trough body 302 and the blocking plate 401.
[0037] A connecting plate 304 is also installed on the side of the trough body 302 facing the drive control mechanism 1, and the outer side of the connecting plate 304 is slidably engaged with the limiting seat 305. The limiting seat 305 is fixedly installed with the drive shaft end of the drive control mechanism 1, so that the trough body 302 can be quickly disassembled and assembled.
[0038] A mounting post 307 is also installed on the lower side of the pot body 302. A limiting rail 306 is provided on the lower side of the mounting post 307 and is slidably installed in the mounting seat 301. The mounting post 307 and the limiting rail 306 form a locking connection, so that the pot body 302 has a mechanism to limit sliding, avoiding unnecessary sliding between the connecting plate 304 and the limiting seat 305. This prevents the connecting plate 304 from sliding and disengaging from the limiting seat 305 when the sealing mechanism 4 no longer limits the front side of the pot body 302.
[0039] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
