Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea picking, specifically a new type of tea picking machine with a zoned harvesting and leaf-picking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] my country has the largest number of tea drinkers and is the origin of tea, boasting a long history of tea production. It also has the highest standards globally for the quality of raw tea materials, requiring tea leaves to be uniform in size and of moderate length, with different sizes needing to be sorted, harvested, and processed. Traditionally, tea is harvested manually, but labor costs are rising and availability is decreasing. In the long run, machine harvesting is an inevitable trend.

[0003] With the rapid pace of mechanization, various tea-picking machines are now available on the market; for example, publication number CN114503830A describes a pull-cut tea-picking machine. However, a problem with existing technology is that tea leaves must be retrieved from the conveyor channels, and there must be partitions between these channels. During harvesting, the machine moves forward along the tea canopy. If the tea leaves are directly in front of the channel, they can be easily retrieved; however, if the leaves are at a partition, they may be pushed over and slide down the bottom of the machine, failing to be held by the conveyor channels, resulting in missed harvesting.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new type of tea-picking machine with a zoned harvesting and leaf-picking mechanism to help tea leaves enter the tea-picking machine more effectively along the feeding port, thereby improving the efficiency, cleaning rate, and grading success rate of tea harvesting, and solving the problems existing in the current equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of tea-picking machine with a zoned harvesting and leaf-picking mechanism, which can help tea leaves enter the transport channel of the tea-picking machine better during tea picking, thereby improving the efficiency of tea picking and sorting; in order to solve the existing technical defects and unmet technical requirements.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a new type of tea-picking machine with a partitioned leaf-picking mechanism, including at least one swinging leaf-picking component, which is correspondingly arranged at the front end of the conveying channel. The swinging leaf-picking components are spaced apart, and the swinging leaf-picking components can comb the tea leaves to both sides, assisting the tea leaves to enter the conveying channel.

[0007] In this application, it should be clarified that the "front end" mentioned above refers to the part located in front of or to the side of the transport channel, while the "front end" mentioned below refers to the forward position on that part. In this application, the reference for "front" and "back" is: the part that first contacts the tea leaves is the "front," and the part that contacts them later is the "back." It should also be noted that although the transport channel was mentioned above, in this application, the term "transport channel" generally refers to the channel used to transport tea leaves, which is a common term in the prior art, so it is used directly without prior mention.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes a support frame, on which a plurality of bases are evenly arranged, and a conveying channel is formed between adjacent bases;

[0009] The oscillating blade component is provided with a rotating end and a free end. The rotating end is rotatably connected to the base, and the free end extends to the front end of the base in a direction away from the base.

[0010] Preferably, a feeding assembly is symmetrically arranged on the base, the feeding assembly being located below the oscillating blade component, and the feeding assembly comprising:

[0011] A plurality of pulleys are disposed on the lower end surface of the base, and the pulleys are rotatably connected to the base.

[0012] A conveyor belt is fitted over several pulleys, and a conveying channel is formed between two conveyor belts on adjacent bases to hold and transport tea leaves.

[0013] In this application, the conveyor belt is always in close contact with the pulley, and the rotation of the pulley drives the conveyor belt to move. This is the principle of a transmission belt, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0014] Preferably, the feed assembly has an eccentric wheel portion (cam) on the pulley located at the front end of the base;

[0015] The oscillating blade is provided with a driven member, which is located between the free end and the rotating end of the oscillating blade. The driven member abuts against the eccentric wheel portions on two symmetrically arranged belt shafts on its base. The eccentric wheel portions on the two belt shafts on the same base rotate synchronously, so that the free end can oscillate.

[0016] What needs further explanation in this application is that the two pulleys are symmetrical in position and have the same specifications, but the distribution of the radius of the eccentric wheel is the same. That is, when the driven member abuts against the eccentric wheel on both sides, if one of the eccentric wheel parts abuts against the driven member with the largest radius, then the other abuts against the driven member with the smallest radius to drive the driven member to move left and right. It can be understood that the eccentric wheel parts with the same radius that abut against the driven member at the same time have the same orientation, that is, the two pulleys are "convex" or "concave" in the same direction.

[0017] Preferably, an eccentric wheel portion (cam) is provided on a pulley located at the front end of the base, and an elastic element is also provided on the base;

[0018] The oscillating blade is provided with a driven member, which is located between the free end and the rotating end of the oscillating blade. The driven member abuts against the eccentric wheel portion, and the elastic member abuts against the side of the driven member away from the eccentric wheel portion. The rotation of the eccentric wheel portion can drive the free end to oscillate.

[0019] In this application, it is necessary to further explain that the eccentric wheel part mentioned above is a type of cam structure, while in this application, the eccentric wheel part is only one type. It can be understood that the oscillation of the oscillating leaf piece in this application is achieved through a cam structure. Furthermore, in this application, the eccentric wheel part rotates coaxially with the pulley, and the eccentric wheel part only abuts against the driven part, not against the conveyor belt.

[0020] Preferably, an eccentric wheel portion (cam) is provided on a pulley located at the front end of the base, and an elastic element is also provided on the driven member;

[0021] The oscillating blade is provided with a driven member, which is located between the free end and the rotating end of the oscillating blade. The side of the driven member away from the elastic member abuts against the eccentric wheel. The rotation of the eccentric wheel can drive the driven member to move, and the elastic member provides a restoring force for the moved driven member.

[0022] The above can be understood as follows: as the radius of the position where the eccentric shaft part on the pulley abuts against the driven member increases, the free end will move away from the axis of the pulley, compressing the elastic element. When the radius reaches the critical point, that is, when the first driven member abuts against the driven member at the maximum half-pound position, the displacement limit is reached. The radius of the position where the pulley abuts against the driven member then decreases. At this time, the compressed elastic element extends and abuts against the free end, causing the free end to gradually return to its original position.

[0023] Preferably, the support frame is further provided with a cutting component, which is located below the feed inlet (and also below the feeding component). The cutting component includes a first blade holder and a second blade holder. The first blade holder abuts against the second blade holder. A plurality of first blade teeth are evenly arranged on the first blade holder, and a plurality of second blade teeth are evenly arranged on the second blade holder. The first blade teeth and the second blade teeth are spaced apart in the horizontal direction. The first blade holder and the second blade holder can slide relative to each other, so that the spaced first blade teeth and the second blade teeth overlap in the vertical direction or exchange positions in the horizontal direction to complete the cutting of the tea leaves.

[0024] In this application, it is necessary to further explain that, in the above description of the tool holder, the horizontal direction means the direction along the length of the tool holder within the plane where the tool holder is located. However, in the following description of the first and second discharge ports, the horizontal direction refers to the direction along the front end to the rear end of the overall structure in this application within a plane that is horizontal relative to the ground. This horizontal direction is either intersecting with or perpendicular to the horizontal direction in the aforementioned description of the tool holder.

[0025] Preferably, the support frame is further provided with a cutting assembly, which is located below the feed inlet (and also below the feeding assembly). The cutting assembly includes a first blade holder and a second blade holder. The first blade holder is uniformly provided with a plurality of first circular blades, and the second blade holder is provided with a plurality of second circular blades. The first circular blades are located above the second circular blades, and the outlines of the first circular blades and the outlines of the second circular blades are tangent or overlap in the vertical direction. This tangent or overlapping part is located directly below the feed inlet.

[0026] Further explanation is needed in this application regarding the rotatable connection between the circular blade and the tool holder. The circular blade is driven by a drive motor, which drives each circular blade to rotate on the tool holder. As for how the rotation is driven, the circular blade and the tool holder can be rotatably connected by a rotating shaft. That is, the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the circular blade and rotatably connected to the tool holder. The drive motor is connected to the rotating shaft via a belt or other means to drive the rotating shaft to rotate. The above is just one common drive connection method, but it is not limited to this method. The circular blade can also be directly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, etc.

[0027] Preferably, the free end is provided with a comb blade portion, one end of which is connected to the swing end, and the other end is inclined downward in a direction away from the base, and the width of the comb blade portion gradually decreases along the inclined direction.

[0028] In this application, it needs to be further explained that the width of the comb blade gradually decreases along the inclined direction. This inclined direction consists of two directions: the vertical direction and the horizontal direction (the horizontal direction from the front end to the back end). Therefore, the above-mentioned gradual change in width along the inclined direction refers to the change in width in both the horizontal and vertical directions. That is, it can be understood as the width gradually decreasing from top to bottom and from back to front.

[0029] Preferably, the base extends from its front end to its rear end in an inclined upward direction relative to the base of the support frame, and the front ends of adjacent bases are staggered in their horizontal plane.

[0030] In this application, it is necessary to further explain that the meaning of "uneven front end of the base" includes: only the front end of the base is uneven, while the rear end of the base is flush; and the base and the components located on it are uneven in position, that is, the base and related components are of the same length, but in terms of positional distribution, some base components are moved backward at intervals, so that both the front end and the rear end of the base are uneven.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0032] 1. In this application, the oscillating leaf-dispersing component oscillates and moves the tea leaves to both sides, which helps the tea leaves enter the conveying channel more effectively along the feeding port during tea picking, thereby improving the efficiency of tea picking and sorting. Furthermore, with the assistance of the oscillating leaf-dispersing component, when the equipment moves forward during use, it prevents the tea leaves from being pushed over or bent, which would make it difficult for the tea leaves to be held by the feeding components, thus affecting the harvesting and cleaning rate.

[0044] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-10 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0045] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0046] Please see Figure 1-10 Embodiments of this utility model:

[0047] Example 1:

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown: A new type of tea picking machine has a partitioned tea picking and leaf-picking mechanism, including at least one swinging leaf-picking component 2. The swinging leaf-picking component 2 is correspondingly arranged at the front end of the conveying channel. The swinging leaf-picking components 2 are distributed at intervals. The swinging leaf-picking component 2 can comb the tea leaves to both sides and help the tea leaves enter the conveying channel.

[0049] In this embodiment, by setting the swing leaf-picking component 2, the tea leaves can be actively combed to both sides during tea picking, so that the tea leaves can smoothly enter the conveying channel 1 for centralized picking, thereby improving the efficiency of tea picking and sorting. This avoids the phenomenon that the tea leaves are pushed down and bent due to dense tea leaves, making them difficult to be held by the feeding unit, which would affect the harvesting and cleaning rate.

[0050] like Figure 1 and 6 As shown: It also includes a support frame 3, on which a plurality of bases 4 are evenly arranged, and a conveying channel 1 is formed between adjacent bases 4;

[0051] The oscillating leaf piece 2 is provided with a rotating end 5 and a free end 6. The rotating end 5 is rotatably connected to the base 4, and the free end 6 extends to the front end of the base 4 in a direction away from the base 4.

[0052] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4: A feeding assembly 7 is symmetrically arranged on the base 4. The feeding assembly 7 is located below the oscillating leaf piece 2. The feeding assembly 7 includes:

[0053] A plurality of pulleys 8 are disposed on the lower end surface of the base 4, and the pulleys 8 are rotatably connected to the base 4.

[0054] Conveyor belt 9, which is fitted over several pulleys, forms a conveying channel 1 between two conveyor belts 9 on adjacent bases 4, for clamping and transporting tea leaves.

[0055] In this embodiment, three pulleys 8 are specifically set to form a triangle, and are clamped and transported to a preset position by the conveyor belts 9 on two adjacent bases 4.

[0056] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown in Figure 8: The feed assembly 7 has an eccentric wheel portion on the pulley 8 located at the front end of the base 4;

[0057] The swing blade component 2 is provided with a follower 10, which is located between the free end 6 and the rotating end 5 of the swing blade component 2. The follower 10 and the eccentric wheel portions of the two symmetrically arranged pulleys 8 on the base 4 are simultaneously abutted. The eccentric wheel portions of the two pulleys on the same base 4 rotate synchronously, so that the free end 6 can swing.

[0058] In this embodiment, the follower 10 abuts against the middle of the two eccentric wheel parts on the same base 4. Because the feeding assembly 7 is symmetrically arranged, this symmetry is both positional and overall shape-based. Specifically, the positions of the two eccentric wheel parts are symmetrical, but the eccentric wheel parts deflect in the same direction. Therefore, when the two eccentric wheel parts rotate synchronously, taking the extreme position as an example, when one side of the follower 10 abuts against the most protruding position (largest radius) of the eccentric wheel part, the other side abuts against the least protruding position (smallest radius) of the other eccentric wheel part, and vice versa. Thus, under the relative abutment of the rotational cooperation of the two, the follower 10 can complete the reciprocating offset, i.e., swinging. In addition, the conveyor belt 9 always abuts against the pulley 8, and the pulley separation phenomenon will not occur. This is a part that can be achieved in the prior art and is not specifically limited in this application. For example, a connecting component to increase stability can be provided at the connection between the two.

[0059] In addition, in this embodiment, it is necessary to further explain that, as mentioned above, the driven member 10 needs to abut against the eccentric wheel portion of the two pulleys 8 in the two symmetrically arranged feeding components 7, and the pulleys 8 where these two eccentric wheel portions are located also need to abut against their respective corresponding conveyor belts 9. Therefore, in order to ensure that the pulleys 8 can complete the above connection, in this embodiment, the eccentric wheel portion is set above the pulley 8 to ensure that it does not affect the abutment between the pulley 8 and the conveyor belt 9. That is, it can be understood that the eccentric wheel portion only abuts against the driven member 10, while the pulley only abuts against the conveyor belt 9.

[0060] like Figure 3 and 7 As shown: A cutting assembly is provided at the bottom of the base 4. The cutting assembly is located below the conveying channel 1 and includes a first blade holder 11 and a second blade holder 12. The first blade holder 11 abuts against the second blade holder 12. A plurality of first blade teeth 13 are evenly arranged on the first blade holder 11, and a plurality of second blade teeth 14 are evenly arranged on the second blade holder 12. The first blade teeth 13 and the second blade teeth 14 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction. The first blade holder 11 and the second blade holder 12 can slide relative to each other, so that the spaced first blade teeth 13 and the second blade teeth 14 overlap in the vertical direction or exchange positions in the horizontal direction to complete the cutting of tea leaves.

[0061] In this embodiment, after the tea leaves are combed by the oscillating leaf-picking component 2 and sent to the conveying channel 1, the tea leaves are clamped and transported by the feeding component 7. After the tea leaves are clamped, the cutting component cuts the tea leaves and picks them.

[0062] like Figure 6As shown: A comb leaf portion 20 is provided on the free end 6. One end of the comb leaf portion 20 is connected to the free end 6, and the other end is inclined downward in a direction away from the base 4. The width of the comb leaf portion 20 gradually decreases along the inclined direction.

[0063] In this embodiment, the leaf comb 20 is designed such that, firstly, the gradually decreasing width in the vertical direction allows it to better penetrate into the gaps in the tea leaves, improving the combing efficiency of the oscillating leaf comb 2 on the tea leaves, while the decreasing width in the horizontal direction allows the tea leaves to enter the conveying channel 1 more smoothly.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown: the base 4 extends from its front end to its rear end in an inclined upward direction relative to the base of the support frame, and the front ends of adjacent bases 4 are staggered in their horizontal plane.

[0065] In this embodiment, the base 4 is arranged in an uneven manner, that is, the base 4, the swing leaf-picking component 2, and the feeding component 7 move backward as a whole, and every other set of the above structures moves backward in unison, so that the front end of the base 4 appears to be uneven in length, and all the backward-moving parts are the same distance. It is equivalent to forming a whole on the support frame 3 consisting of a row of base 4 in front and a row of base 4 moving backward. With this setting, the tea combing is divided into front and rear parts, preventing the tea from piling up in the same part and affecting the clamping effect of the feeding component 7. In addition, the arrangement of the base 4 and the swing leaf-picking component 2 in front and rear provides the swing leaf-picking component 2 in front and rear with a larger operating space. The swing leaf-picking component 2 in front and rear can be synchronized or asynchronous. With the base 4 and the swing leaf-picking component 2 in front and rear, the fault tolerance of the overall device installation and use can be further improved, which in turn improves the efficiency of combing tea.

[0066] Example 2:

[0067] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the oscillating drive of the oscillating paddle is...

[0068] In this embodiment, an eccentric wheel portion (cam) is provided on a pulley located at the front end of the base, and an elastic element is also provided on the base;

[0069] The oscillating blade is provided with a driven member, which is located between the free end and the rotating end of the oscillating blade. The driven member abuts against the eccentric wheel portion, and the elastic member abuts against the side of the driven member away from the eccentric wheel portion. The rotation of the eccentric wheel portion can drive the free end to oscillate.

[0070] In this embodiment, the driven member only abuts against the eccentric wheel portion of one of the pulleys in one of the feeding assemblies on its base. When this pulley rotates, when the most protruding part of the eccentric wheel portion pushes the driven member to a distance, there is no other eccentric wheel portion to push it back to its original position. The elastic element is specifically set as a spring. The spring can push the driven member, which is away from the pulley after being pushed against the eccentric wheel portion, towards the pulley, so that the driven member can always abut against this eccentric wheel portion. The cooperation between the eccentric wheel portion and the elastic element, as the eccentric wheel portion rotates, completes the oscillation of the oscillating blade.

[0071] Example 3:

[0072] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that the elastic element 15 is positioned in the following way:

[0073] like Figure 9 As shown: An eccentric wheel (cam) is provided on a pulley located at the front end of the base, and an elastic element 15 is also provided on the driven member 10;

[0074] The oscillating leaf piece is provided with a driven member, which is located between the free end and the rotating end of the oscillating leaf piece. The side of the driven member away from the elastic member abuts against the eccentric wheel. The rotation of the eccentric wheel can drive the driven member to move. The elastic member 15 provides a restoring force for the driven member after it has moved.

[0075] In this embodiment, the principle of the swinging blade is the same as that in embodiment 2, except that the elastic element 15 is set on the driven element, which is different from the elastic element 15 being set on the base in embodiment 2.

[0076] Example 4:

[0077] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the setting of the cutting component.

[0078] like Figure 10 As shown: In this embodiment, the support frame is also provided with a cutting assembly. The cutting assembly is located below the feed inlet (below the feeding assembly). The cutting assembly includes a first blade holder and a second blade holder. A plurality of first circular blades 16 are evenly arranged on the first blade holder, and a plurality of second circular blades 17 are arranged on the second blade holder. The first circular blades 16 are located above the second circular blades 17, and the outlines of the first circular blades 16 and the outlines of the second circular blades 17 overlap in the vertical direction. The overlapping part is located directly below the feed inlet.

[0079] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and thus all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0080] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
