Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of tea processing equipment, specifically relating to a tea rolling machine. Background Technology
[0002] Rolling is a crucial process in the initial processing of tea, its quality directly determining the quality of the finished tea. Rolling is the shaping step in the initial processing of tea, forming its tightly rolled and curved shape, and also influencing the improvement of its internal quality. Rolling can tighten the tea strips, reduce their volume, lay a good foundation for drying into strips, and appropriately disrupt the leaf tissue and facilitate material transformation. With the continuous development of tea, people's requirements for the appearance and aroma of tea are becoming increasingly higher. During the rolling process, a rolling machine is generally used. Tea leaves are placed in the rolling drum, and a motor and rotating components drive the drum to rotate on the rolling disc, causing the tea leaves on the disc to be subjected to the rolling action.
[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN213215151U discloses a tea kneading machine, which includes a kneading drum, a side frame, a tea pressing lid, a servo motor, a mounting box, a drive bevel gear, a main rod, a transmission bevel gear, a turning rod, and a frame. The inner wall of the kneading drum is fixedly connected to the side frame. The tea pressing lid is located inside the kneading drum. The servo motor is fixedly installed on the top of the tea pressing lid. The mounting box is fixedly installed in the middle position of the bottom of the tea pressing lid. The output end of the servo motor extends into the interior of the mounting box and is connected to the drive bevel gear for transmission. This utility model achieves the purpose of enabling the tea leaves to be turned synchronously during kneading, thus improving the kneading effect.
[0004] When using existing tea rolling machines, the tea leaves tend to stick to the sides due to the constant friction and rolling of the rolling strips. If the tea leaves are not cleaned in time after the rolling process, the tea residue stains can harden, making it difficult to clean later and affecting the subsequent processing results. At the same time, the cleaning operation is relatively cumbersome and inconvenient, with low cleaning efficiency and insufficient cleaning.
[0005] Therefore, a tea rolling machine is needed to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tea kneading machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tea kneading machine, comprising a base plate, a plurality of ring-shaped support rods fixed on the top side of the base plate, an outer frame plate being fixed to the top of the plurality of support rods, an electric push rod rotatably connected to the top of the base plate, the output end of the electric push rod facing upward and a kneading disc fixed to the output end of the electric push rod, a kneading drum cooperating with the kneading disc to knead the tea leaves being installed on the outer frame plate, a second gear being fixed to the outer side wall of the electric push rod, a drive motor being fixed to the top side of the base plate, a first gear being fixed to the output end of the drive motor and meshing with the second gear, a cleaning component for cleaning the inside of the kneading disc being provided at the bottom of the outer frame plate, and a switching component being provided between the cleaning component and the outer frame plate.
[0008] It should be noted in the solution that the cleaning component includes a cleaning rod disposed at the bottom of the outer frame plate, and the bottom surface of the cleaning rod is fixed with densely distributed bristles.
[0009] It is worth noting that the cleaning rod has an internal cavity, a suction hole communicating with the cavity is provided on the bottom surface of the cleaning rod, and a suction tube communicating with the cavity is fixed on the outer wall of the cleaning rod.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a tea kneading machine, including a base plate 10. Multiple support rods 7 arranged in a ring are fixed to the top side of the base plate 10. An outer frame plate 5 is fixed to the top of the multiple support rods 7. An electric push rod 9 is rotatably connected to the top of the base plate 10. The output end of the electric push rod 9 faces upwards, and a kneading disc 3 is fixed to the output end of the electric push rod 9. A kneading drum 4, which cooperates with the kneading disc 3 to knead the tea, is installed on the outer frame plate 5. A second gear 11 is fixed to the outer wall of the electric push rod 9. A drive motor 6 is fixed to the top side of the base plate 10. A first gear 8, which meshes with the second gear 11, is fixed to the output end of the drive motor 6. A cleaning component 1 for cleaning the inside of the kneading disc 3 is provided at the bottom of the outer frame plate 5. A switching component 2 is provided between the cleaning component 1 and the outer frame plate 5. The kneading drum 4 moves within the kneading disc 3 to knead the tea. The kneading drum 4 and the kneading disc 3 working together to knead the tea is a well-disclosed existing technology and will not be discussed further in this application. To elaborate further, after the tea leaves have been rolled and processed, when it is necessary to clean the inside of the rolling pan 3, the electric push rod 9 is activated. The output end of the electric push rod 9 drives the rolling pan 3 to move downwards, so that the rolling pan 3 moves below the cleaning component 1. The set adjustment component 2 can adjust the cleaning component 1 to be inside the rolling pan 3. The drive motor 6 is activated, and the output end of the drive motor 6 drives the first gear 8 to rotate. In turn, the first gear 8 and the second gear 11 work together to drive the electric push rod 9 and the rolling pan 3 to rotate, so that the rolling pan 3 and the cleaning component 1 rotate relative to each other. During this process, the cleaning component 1 brushes and sweeps the inside of the rolling pan 3, cleaning the residue and impurities adhering to the inner wall of the rolling pan 3. The cleaning effect is better. The cleaning component 1 also sucks away the residue swept out, thus eliminating the need for manual removal of residue, further improving the cleaning effect, greatly reducing the amount of manual cleaning work, saving manpower, and effectively improving the cleaning efficiency of the inside of the rolling pan 3.
[0022] Further as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it is worth noting that the cleaning component 1 includes a cleaning rod 101 located at the bottom of the outer frame plate 5. Densely distributed bristles 105 are fixed to the bottom surface of the cleaning rod 101. When cleaning the inside of the kneading tray 3 is required, the electric push rod 9 is activated. The output end of the electric push rod 9 drives the kneading tray 3 downwards, moving it below the cleaning rod 101. The cleaning rod 101 is then rotated and positioned inside the kneading tray 3. At this point, the bristles 105 contact the inner wall of the kneading tray 3. The output end of the drive motor 6 drives the first gear 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the electric push rod 9 and the kneading tray 3 to rotate. This causes the kneading tray 3 and the cleaning rod 101 to rotate relative to each other. During this process, the bristles 105 brush the inside of the kneading tray 3, cleaning the residue and impurities adhering to the inner wall of the kneading tray 3. This results in better cleaning, significantly reduces manual cleaning workload, saves manpower, and effectively improves the cleaning efficiency of the inside of the kneading tray 3.
[0023] Further as Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the cleaning rod 101 has a cavity 102 inside, and a suction hole 103 communicating with the cavity 102 is opened on the bottom surface of the cleaning rod 101. There are multiple suction holes 103, and the multiple suction holes 103 are evenly distributed. A suction pipe 104 communicating with the cavity 102 is fixed on the outer wall of the cleaning rod 101. In actual operation, the suction pipe 104 is connected to a vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner creates a negative pressure suction between the suction pipe 104 and the cavity 102, thereby sucking away the residue swept out by the brush 105 through the multiple suction holes 103, thus eliminating the need for manual removal of residue and further improving the cleaning effect.
[0024] Further as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it is worth noting that the adjustment assembly 2 includes a connector post 204 fixed to the bottom surface of the outer frame plate 5. An outer sleeve 201 is fitted onto the side of the connector post 204. A connecting rod 203 is fixed to the outer side wall of the outer sleeve 201. The end of the connecting rod 203 away from the outer sleeve 201 is fixed to the cleaning rod 101. A locking bolt 202 is threaded onto the side of the outer sleeve 201. The screw end of the locking bolt 202 contacts the side of the connector post 204. In actual operation, the outer sleeve 204 can be rotated and adjusted by loosening the locking bolt 202. The outer sleeve 201 drives the cleaning rod 101 to rotate synchronously via the connecting rod 203. When the kneading disc 3 moves down to below the cleaning rod 101, the cleaning rod 101 can be rotated and adjusted to be inside the kneading disc 3. The electric push rod 9 drives the kneading disc 3 to move slightly upward, so that the brush bristles 105 contact the bottom inner wall of the kneading disc 3. Then, the locking bolt 202 is tightened to lock the cleaning rod 101, so that the brush bristles 105 can brush and clean the bottom inner wall of the rotating kneading disc 3, and fully remove the residue with a high degree of adhesion.
[0025] This solution has the following working process: When it is necessary to clean the inside of the kneading disc 3, the output end of the electric push rod 9 drives the kneading disc 3 to move downwards, so that the kneading disc 3 moves below the cleaning rod 101. By loosening the locking bolt 202, the outer sleeve 201 can be rotated and adjusted. The outer sleeve 201 drives the cleaning rod 101 to rotate and adjust synchronously through the connecting rod 203. Thus, when the kneading disc 3 moves downwards below the cleaning rod 101, the cleaning rod 101 can be rotated and adjusted into the inside of the kneading disc 3. The electric push rod 9 drives the kneading disc 3 to be slightly adjusted upwards, so that the brush 105 and the kneading disc... Contact the bottom inner wall of 3, and then tighten the locking bolt 202 to lock the cleaning rod 101. Drive the first gear 8 to rotate through the output end of the drive motor 6. Then, through the cooperation of the first gear 8 and the second gear 11, drive the electric push rod 9 and the kneading plate 3 to rotate, so that the kneading plate 3 and the cleaning rod 101 rotate relative to each other. During this process, the brush bristles 105 brush the inside of the kneading plate 3 to clean the residue and impurities adhering to the inner wall of the kneading plate 3. The brush bristles 105 suck up and remove the residue brushed out through multiple suction holes 103.
[0026] The drive motor 6 and the electric actuator 9 can be purchased from the market. The drive motor 6 and the electric actuator 9 are equipped with a power supply. They are mature technologies in this field and have been fully disclosed. Therefore, they will not be described again in the specification.
