Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, and in particular to a tea kneading device. Background Technology

[0002] In the tea processing process, kneading is a key step. Traditional kneading equipment usually relies on manual labor to transport the tea leaves into the kneading drum, which has the following problems: First, manual handling is labor-intensive and inefficient; second, the internal parts of the kneading machine (such as the capping device) are easily contaminated with machine oil, and the tea leaves may come into direct contact with the contaminant during manual operation, resulting in contamination of the tea leaves and affecting the quality; third, the feeding process lacks automation, resulting in uneven distribution of the tea leaves and affecting the kneading effect.

[0003] In existing technologies, some improved solutions use elevators to assist in feeding, but this does not solve the problem of direct contact between tea leaves and mechanical parts. Furthermore, the unloading mechanism is simply designed, which can easily lead to tea leaf accumulation or leakage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a tea leaf kneading device that can achieve automatic feeding, avoid contamination, and has a compact structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the background technology, this utility model proposes an automatic feeding tea kneading device. Through the sealed connection between the feeding container and the kneading cylinder, the triangular baffle design, and the gear-driven valve plate flipping mechanism, the automatic unloading of tea is realized, avoiding manual contact with the source of contamination, while improving processing efficiency and tea quality.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A tea kneading device, comprising a kneading machine body and a feeding container; the kneading machine body includes a kneading cylinder and a capping device that can be removed from the kneading cylinder, the capping device being used to apply pressure to the tea leaves inside the kneading cylinder; the feeding container is connected to the kneading cylinder via an external lifting mechanism, the feeding container is provided with a baffle, and valve plates are rotatably installed on both sides of the baffle. The valve plates are controlled to flip by a driving device so that the tea leaves fall into the kneading cylinder from the gap between the valve plates and the inner wall of the feeding container.

[0006] Preferably, the driving device includes a mounting bracket installed on the outer wall of the feeding container, two meshing circular gears, a drive motor, and a connecting shaft; the drive motor is connected to one of the circular gears, and the two circular gears are respectively fixed to the valve plate through the connecting shaft to drive the valve plate to rotate synchronously.

[0007] Preferably, the cross-section of the baffle is triangular to prevent tea leaves from accumulating on the upper surface of the baffle.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the kneading cylinder is provided with an annular concave structure for docking with the bottom of the feeding container and supporting the feeding container.

[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the feeding container is provided with hooks for connecting to an external elevator.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting path of the capping device coincides with the central axis of the kneading cylinder to ensure that pressure is applied evenly to the tea leaves.

[0011] Preferably, the feeding container and the kneading cylinder are connected by a detachable sealing structure to prevent impurities from entering during tea processing.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] The tea leaves are contained in the kneading drum within the main body of the kneading machine. The capping device can move out or into the kneading drum to apply pressure to the tea leaves, completing the kneading process. The feeding container is hoisted above the kneading drum by an external lift. Its internal baffles and valve plates are controlled by a drive device to open and close, allowing the tea leaves to fall evenly into the kneading drum through the gaps. Automated feeding reduces manual intervention and labor intensity; the cooperation between the valve plate and baffle prevents the tea leaves from directly contacting mechanical parts (such as oil contaminants), ensuring the cleanliness of the tea leaves; the movable design of the capping device facilitates loading and unloading, improving processing efficiency.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention proposes a tea kneading device, including a kneading machine body 100 and a feeding container 200; the kneading machine body 100 includes a kneading cylinder 120 and a capping device 110 that can be removed from the kneading cylinder 120, the capping device 110 is used to apply pressure to the tea leaves in the kneading cylinder 120; the feeding container 200 is connected to the kneading cylinder 120 through an external elevator, and a baffle 210 is provided inside the feeding container 200. Valve plates 220 are rotatably installed on both sides of the baffle 210. The valve plates 220 are controlled to flip by a drive device so that the tea leaves fall into the kneading cylinder 120 from the gap between the valve plate 220 and the inner wall of the feeding container 200.

[0023] The tea leaves are contained in the kneading drum 120 of the kneading machine body 100. The capping device 110 can be moved out of or into the kneading drum to apply pressure to the tea leaves to complete the kneading. The feeding container 200 is hoisted above the kneading drum 120 by an external elevator. The valve plate 220 inside the container is controlled to open and close by a drive device, so that the tea leaves fall evenly into the kneading drum from the gaps.

[0024] The drive unit includes a mounting bracket 231 installed on the outer wall of the feeding container 200, two meshing circular gears 232, a drive motor 233, and a connecting shaft 234; the drive motor 233 is connected to one of the circular gears 232, and the two circular gears 232 are respectively fixed to the valve plate 220 through the connecting shaft 234 to drive the valve plate 220 to rotate synchronously.

[0025] The drive motor 233 drives one of the circular gears 232 to rotate. Through gear meshing, the two circular gears rotate synchronously, and then drive the valve plates 220 on both sides to rotate synchronously via the connecting shaft 234, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the discharge port.

[0026] The cross-section of the baffle 210 is triangular to prevent tea leaves from accumulating on its upper surface. The triangular cross-section of the baffle 210 increases the surface inclination angle, causing the tea leaves to slide down the slope due to gravity, thus reducing retention.

[0027] The inner wall of the kneading drum 120 is provided with an annular concave structure for docking with and supporting the bottom of the feeding container 200. The annular concave structure on the inner wall of the kneading drum 120 matches the shape of the bottom of the feeding container 200, forming a stable supporting docking surface.

[0028] The outer wall of the feeding container 200 is equipped with hooks for connecting to an external elevator. The hooks on the outer wall of the feeding container 200 are connected to the hooks of the external elevator, enabling the container to move vertically and laterally via the elevator.

[0029] The lifting path of the capping device 110 coincides with the central axis of the kneading cylinder 120 to ensure that pressure is applied evenly to the tea leaves. The capping device 110 rises and falls along the central axis of the kneading cylinder 120 to ensure that the cap and the kneading cylinder are concentric.

[0030] The feeding container 200 and the kneading cylinder 120 are connected by a detachable sealing structure to prevent impurities from entering during tea processing. When the feeding container 200 and the kneading cylinder 120 are connected, a detachable sealing connection is formed by a snap-fit ​​or sealing ring.

[0031] In summary, the capping device 110 is used to apply pressure to the tea leaves inside the kneading cylinder 120; and the capping device 110 can be removed from the kneading cylinder 120 so that the tea leaves can be poured into the kneading cylinder 120.

[0032] Furthermore, during the process of adding tea leaves to the kneading cylinder 120, the feeding container 200 is connected to an external elevator. The feeding container 200 has a hook (not shown in the figure) for connecting to the external elevator. A baffle 210 is provided inside the feeding container 200. Valve plates 220 are rotatably installed on both sides of the baffle 210 so that the valve plates 220 and the baffle 210 form a support plate for the tea leaves. The valve plates 220 are driven to rotate by a drive device so that the tea leaves can fall into the kneading cylinder 120 through the gap formed between the valve plates 220 and the inner wall of the feeding container 200, thereby realizing unloading.
