Due to its mellow aroma and the pharmacological effects of bitter orange blossoms in stimulating appetite and promoting digestion, it is highly popular among Chinese consumers and is hailed as the "Miss Flower Tea." Bitter orange blossom tea is known for its liver-soothing and stomach-regulating properties, as well as its ability to relieve depression. It is sold in North China, Northeast China, and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region. In the production process of flower tea, screening devices are frequently used to remove broken tea leaves, tea dust, and impurities to prevent affecting the quality of the finished product after packaging. However, existing screening devices are prone to clogging of the screening plates by debris and impurities, thus affecting screening efficiency and usability. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a screening device for the production and processing of bitter orange flower tea, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A screening device for the production and processing of bitter orange flower tea, comprising:

[0006] The main screening chamber has a feed inlet at its upper end and a discharge outlet on one side, covered by a cover plate. The main screening chamber contains a screening mechanism, including a screening plate, connecting side plates, and a vibrating motor. The screening plate has screening holes to allow small particles of impurities in the flower tea to pass through. Connecting side plates are connected to both sides of the screening plate. Mounting grooves are formed on the inner walls of both sides of the main screening chamber, and the connecting side plates are located inside these grooves. The vibrating motor is installed inside the mounting grooves, and its output is connected to the connecting side plates. This causes the vibrating motor to vibrate the connecting side plates and the screening plate, which helps to shake the raw material of the bitter orange flower tea, allowing small particles of impurities to pass through the screening plate while the flower tea remains on the screen. The upper part of the screening plate is shaken to separate small particles of impurities from the tea. The main screening chamber also has a clearing mechanism inside to unclog blocked screening plates. This mechanism is located below the screening plates and includes a rotating component, a mounting rod, and a brush. The rotating component is connected to the mounting rod, and the brush is attached to the upper end of the mounting rod. Because the brush is close to the bottom of the screening plate, it cleans and clears blocked screening holes. The rotating component drives the mounting rod and brush to rotate, ensuring the brush is close to the bottom of the screening plate. Some of the brush can enter the screening holes to clear them, preventing impurities from clogging the holes and affecting the screening effect. The main screening chamber also has a stirring mechanism inside to agitate the tea, working in conjunction with the screening mechanism to further improve screening efficiency. A collection box is located at the bottom of the main screening chamber for collecting impurities.

[0007] Preferably, the rotating component includes a rotating rod and a rotating motor. The rotating motor is provided on the other side of the main screening box. The rotating rod is installed at the output end of the rotating motor. One end of the rotating rod passes through the main screening box and extends into it. One side of the rotating rod is connected to the mounting rod. The rotating motor is used to drive the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting rod and the brush to rotate, thereby cleaning and unblocking the bottom of the screening plate.

[0008] Preferably, the rotating component further includes a mounting plate, a toothed plate, a gear, and a motor. The rotating motor is mounted on the upper end of the mounting plate, and the toothed plate is located on the lower end of the mounting plate. The toothed plate has teeth that mesh with the gear.

A limit groove that cooperates with the limit slider is opened inside one side of the main screening box, which facilitates the movement of the toothed plate and prevents it from disengaging. The motor is mounted on the outer side of the main screening box, and the output end of the motor is connected to the gear. The gear meshes with the toothed plate. A transverse groove that cooperates with the rotating rod is opened on one side of the main screening box, which facilitates the transverse sliding of the rotating rod. In use, the motor drives the gear to rotate, and the gear meshes with the teeth of the toothed plate, thereby driving the toothed plate and the mounting plate to move laterally horizontally. This further enables the rotating motor, the rotating rod, the mounting rod, and the brush to move laterally horizontally, which is beneficial for the brush to rotate while also moving laterally horizontally inside the main screening box, thus improving the unblocking efficiency.

[0009] Preferably, the lower ends of both sides of the mounting plate are also connected to limit plates to prevent the mounting plate from detaching.

[0010] Preferably, the agitation mechanism includes a drive motor, a drive shaft, a mounting plate, and a stirring rod. The drive motor is installed at the upper end of the main screening box, and the output end of the drive motor is connected to the drive shaft. One end of the drive shaft passes through the main screening box and is connected to the mounting plate. The stirring rods are installed at the lower ends of both sides of the mounting plate. The drive motor drives the drive shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting plate and the stirring rods to rotate, thereby agitating and turning the flower tea, which is beneficial for screening. It should be noted that the drive motor drives the stirring rods to rotate slowly to avoid damaging the flower tea by rotating too quickly.

[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the stirring rod is provided with a connecting groove, and a connecting spring is provided inside the connecting groove. The lower end of the connecting spring is connected to an elastic protrusion, and the elastic protrusion is slidably connected to the connecting groove, so that the stirring rod makes elastic contact with the screening plate through the elastic protrusion, avoiding direct contact that could damage the screening plate.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting groove is further provided with a mounting spring, which, together with the connecting side plate, facilitates the shaking of the connecting side plate and the screening plate.

[0013] Preferably, a telescopic component is installed at the lower end of the main screening box. The telescopic component can be hinged to the bottom end of the main screening box via a hinge, which is beneficial for one side of the main screening box to be higher than the other side during material discharge. The telescopic component can be set as a hydraulic cylinder, etc., to realize the telescopic function. The output end of the telescopic component is connected to a support base plate. When the screening is completed and the tea leaves on the upper part of the screening plate need to be discharged, the telescopic component on the side away from the discharge port is extended, thereby making the height of the side of the main screening box away from the discharge port higher than the height of the side near the discharge port, forming a height difference, which is beneficial for the tea leaves on the upper part of the screening plate to be discharged through the discharge port.

[0014] Preferably, an observation window is provided on the outside of the main screening box, and a box door is installed on the outside of the main screening box, which facilitates the removal of the collection box by opening the box door.

The screening plate 20 has screening holes to facilitate the passage of small particles of impurities from the flower tea. Connecting side plates 21 are connected to both sides of the screening plate 20. Mounting grooves are formed on the inner walls of both sides of the main screening box 10, with the connecting side plates 21 located inside these grooves. A vibrating motor 22 is installed inside each groove, with its output connected to the connecting side plates 21. This causes the vibrating motor 22 to vibrate the connecting side plates 21 and the screening plate 20, effectively shaking the raw material of the bitter orange flower tea and allowing small particles of impurities to pass through the screening plate 20, while the flower tea remains on the screen. The upper end of plate 20 is shaken to separate small particles of impurities from the tea. The main screening box 10 is also equipped with a clearing mechanism to clear blockages in the screening plate 20. The clearing mechanism is located below the screening plate 20 and includes a rotating component, a mounting rod 30, and a brush 31. The rotating component is connected to the mounting rod 30, and the upper end of the mounting rod 30 is equipped with a brush 31. Since the brush 31 is close to the bottom of the screening plate 20, it cleans and clears the blocked screening holes. The rotating component drives the mounting rod 30 and the brush 31 to rotate, so that the brush 31 is close to the bottom of the screening plate 20. Some of the brush 31 can enter the interior of the screening holes to clear the blockages and prevent impurities from clogging the screening holes and affecting the screening effect. The main screening box 10 is equipped with a stirring mechanism to stir the tea. This works in conjunction with the screening mechanism to further improve the screening efficiency.

The toothed plate 35 is provided with teeth that mesh with the gear 36. A limit slider is connected to one side of the toothed plate 35. A limit groove that cooperates with the limit slider is opened inside one side of the screening main box 10, which facilitates the movement of the toothed plate 35 and prevents it from disengaging. The motor 37 is mounted on the outer side of the screening main box 10. The output end of the motor 37 is connected to the gear 36, and the gear 36 meshes with the toothed plate. The main screening box 10 has a transverse sliding groove on one side that cooperates with the rotating rod 32, which facilitates the transverse sliding of the rotating rod 32. In use, the motor 37 drives the gear 36 to rotate. The gear 36 meshes with the teeth of the toothed plate 35, which in turn drives the toothed plate 35 and the mounting plate 34 to move laterally. This further enables the rotating motor 33, the rotating rod 32, the mounting rod 30, and the brush 31 to move laterally. This allows the brush 31 to rotate while also moving laterally inside the main screening box 10, improving the unblocking efficiency.
