[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea leaf shaping technology, and in particular to a pneumatic flipping tea leaf shaping machine. Background Technology
[0002] Tea leaf shaping is the process of shaping green tea. The operation method varies slightly depending on the type of tea, and mainly includes two techniques: grasping the leaves and tossing the leaves. The purpose is to shape the leaves, remove moisture, reveal the downy hairs, and enhance the aroma.
[0003] Chinese patent discloses an automatic tea leaf turning and shaping machine (authorization announcement number CN201709332U). This patented technology uses a pneumatic turning device. After the tea leaves are shaped, the piston rod of the pneumatic turning device extends, thereby lifting one end of the shaping groove and discharging the tea leaves from the other end of the groove. After discharging, the piston rod of the pneumatic turning device retracts, and the shaping groove returns to the moving frame. This automatic control method saves manpower and facilitates automated operation, making it particularly suitable for promotion and application in the shaping of famous and high-quality teas.
[0004] Regarding the above and existing related technologies, the inventor believes that the following defects often exist: After the existing tea processing machine finishes processing the tea, it pours the tea out by flipping the vibrating plate. When pouring the tea out, the staff needs to find the right position to place the container in front of the vibrating plate to collect the tea. When there are many machines, the staff needs to spend a lot of time placing the containers. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that in the existing technology, when pouring out the processed tea leaves, the staff needs to accurately position the container so that it is aligned with the tilting position of the vibrating plate to collect the tea leaves. When there are many machines, the staff needs to spend a lot of time placing the containers. To address this, we propose a pneumatic flipping tea leaf sorting machine.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a pneumatic flipping tea leaf straightening machine, including a base, a control cabinet installed on one side of the base, a vibrating plate installed on the top of the base, an air pump installed inside the base, the top of the air pump fitting against the bottom of the vibrating plate, a collection box slidably connected inside the base, a storage groove opened on the top of the base, a limit block slidably connected inside the storage groove, a pull rod fixedly connected to one end of the limit block, and a limit groove opened at the bottom of the collection box.
[0007] Preferably, the storage slot has limit grooves on both sides, and the limit block has limit sliders fixedly connected to both sides.
[0008] Preferably, a first thrust spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting block, and the bottom of the first thrust spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage groove.
[0009] Preferably, one side of the top of the limiting block is a slope.
[0010] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base, two second thrust springs are fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate, and a push plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the second thrust spring.
[0011] Preferably, two connecting rods are fixedly connected to one side of the collection box, and an insert rod is slidably connected inside the connecting rod. The top of the insert rod is in contact with the bottom of the vibration plate, and a third thrust spring is fixedly connected to one side of the insert rod. The bottom of the third thrust spring is fixedly connected to one side of the inside of the base.
[0012] Preferably, the base has a first sliding groove on both sides of its bottom, and the push plate has a first slider fixedly connected to both sides of its bottom, with the surface of the first slider slidably connected to the inside of the first sliding groove.
[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] In this invention, the user places the tea leaves to be processed into the vibrating plate and starts the equipment through the control cabinet to fix and shape the tea leaves. After processing, the user starts the air pump to push the vibrating plate upward.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.
[0021] Referring to Figures 1-4, this utility model provides a technical solution: a pneumatic flip-type tea leaf straightening machine, including a base 1, a control cabinet 2 installed on one side of the base 1, a vibrating plate 3 installed on the top of the base 1, an air pump 4 installed inside the base 1, the top of the air pump 4 fitting against the bottom of the vibrating plate 3, a collection box 5 slidably connected inside the base 1, a storage groove 6 opened on the top of the base 1, a limit block 7 slidably connected inside the storage groove 6, a pull rod 8 fixedly connected to one end of the limit block 7, and a limit groove opened at the bottom of the collection box 5. 9. The user puts the tea leaves to be processed into the vibrating plate 3 and starts the equipment through the control cabinet 2 to fix and shape the tea leaves. After processing, the user starts the air pump 4 to push the vibrating plate 3 upward. Since one side of the vibrating plate 3 is connected to the base 1 through a rotating shaft, when the air pump 4 moves upward, the vibrating plate 3 flips and pours out the processed tea leaves. When pouring out the tea leaves, the user pulls the collection box 5 outward so that the tea leaves fall into the collection box 5, which makes it easy to collect the processed tea leaves and saves the user the time required to empty the container.
[0022] Referring to Figure 4, in this embodiment: both sides of the storage slot 6 are provided with limiting grooves 10, and both sides of the limiting block 7 are fixedly connected with limiting sliders 11. When the user needs to take out the tea collected in the collection box 5, he moves the pull rod 8 downward to drive the limiting block 7 to retract into the storage slot 6 and disengage from the limiting groove 9, thereby releasing the limitation on the collection box 5 and allowing the collection box 5 to be pulled out from the base 1. During the movement of the limiting block 7, the limiting sliders 11 on both sides of the limiting block 7 slide inside the limiting grooves 10 to assist the movement of the limiting block 7 and prevent the limiting block 7 from tilting and causing the movement to jam.
[0023] Referring to Figure 4, in this embodiment: a first thrust spring 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting block 7. The bottom of the first thrust spring 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inside of the storage groove 6. By installing the first thrust spring 12 at the bottom of the limiting block 7, a continuous thrust can be released on the limiting block 7 to prevent the limiting block 7 from moving downward due to vibration during equipment operation, thereby releasing the limiting of the collection box 5 and causing the collection box 5 to fall off from the inside of the base 1.
[0024] Referring to Figure 4, in this embodiment: one side of the top of the limiting block 7 is an inclined surface. When the user needs to install the collection box 5 back into the base 1, by aligning the collection box 5 with the slot on one side of the base 1, the collection box 5 is pushed into the base 1. When the base 1 contacts the limiting block 7, due to the inclined surface of the limiting block 7, it is squeezed by the collection box 5 and retracts downward into the storage groove 6. When the limiting groove 9 on the collection box 5 moves to the position of the limiting block 7, the squeezing of the limiting block 7 is released. Under the thrust of the first thrust spring 12, the limiting block 7 is pushed upward to limit the movement of the collection box 5.
[0025] Referring to Figure 3, in this embodiment: a fixing plate 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom inside the base 1. Two second thrust springs 14 are fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 13. A push plate 15 is fixedly connected to the other end of the second thrust springs 14. By installing the second thrust springs 14 at the rear end of the collection box 5, a continuous thrust is released to the collection box 5 to prevent the collection box 5 from retracting into the base 1 due to the vibration of the equipment operation, which would cause the tea leaves to fall to the ground.
[0026] Referring to Figure 2, in this embodiment: two connecting rods 16 are fixedly connected to one side of the collection box 5. An insert rod 17 is slidably connected inside the connecting rod 16. The top of the insert rod 17 is in contact with the bottom of the vibrating plate 3. A third thrust spring 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the insert rod 17. The bottom of the third thrust spring 18 is fixedly connected to one side inside the base 1. When the equipment is not running, by pushing the collection box 5 into the interior of the base 1, the air pump 4 is controlled to retract, causing the vibrating plate 3 to descend and press the insert rod 17 down, inserting it into the interior of the connecting rod 16, thus limiting the collection box 5 and allowing it to be stored back inside the base 1, saving space. When the equipment is in use, the operating time of the equipment is controlled by the control cabinet 2. When the tea processing is completed, the air pump 4 pushes the vibrating plate 3 upward, and the third thrust spring 18 pushes the insert rod 17 upward, disengaging it from the interior of the connecting rod 16, releasing the limitation on the collection box 5. Under the thrust of the second thrust spring 14, the collection box 5 is pushed outward to collect the tea leaves poured out by the vibrating plate 3. No manual operation is required from the user, saving the user's time.
[0027] Referring to Figure 3, in this embodiment: the base 1 has a first sliding groove 19 on both sides of its bottom, and the push plate 15 has a first slider 20 fixedly connected to both sides of its bottom. The surface of the first slider 20 is slidably connected to the inside of the first sliding groove 19. By installing the first slider 20 on both sides of the push plate 15, the movement of the push plate 15 can be limited, preventing the second thrust spring 14 from pushing the push plate 15 and causing the collection box 5 at the front end of the push plate 15 to move and get stuck, thus failing to effectively collect the tea leaves.
[0028] Working principle: The user places the tea leaves to be processed into the vibrating plate 3, starts the equipment through the control cabinet 2 to fix and shape the tea leaves. After processing, the air pump 4 is started to push the vibrating plate 3 upward. Since one side of the vibrating plate 3 is connected to the base 1 through a rotating shaft, when the air pump 4 moves upward, the vibrating plate 3 flips and pours out the processed tea leaves. While pouring out the tea leaves, the collection box 5 is pulled outward, allowing the tea leaves to fall into the collection box 5 for easy collection. When it is necessary to remove the tea leaves collected in the collection box 5, the pull rod 8 is moved downward, causing the limit block 7 to retract into the storage groove 6 and disengage from the limit groove 9. Inside the base 1, the limiting block 7 is released, allowing the collection box 5 to be pulled out. During the movement of the limiting block 7, the limiting sliders 11 on both sides of the limiting block 7 slide within the limiting groove 10, assisting the movement of the limiting block 7. A first thrust spring 12 is installed at the bottom of the limiting block 7 to release a continuous thrust, preventing vibrations during equipment operation from causing the limiting block 7 to move downwards. When the collection box 5 needs to be reinstalled inside the base 1, it is aligned with the slot on one side of the base 1 and pushed into the base 1. When the base 1 contacts the limiting block 7, due to… The limiting block 7 is an inclined surface. Pressed by the collection box 5, it retracts downwards into the storage groove 6. When the limiting groove 9 on the collection box 5 moves to the position of the limiting block 7, the pressure on the limiting block 7 is released. Under the thrust of the first thrust spring 12, the limiting block 7 is pushed upwards, limiting the movement of the collection box 5. By installing a second thrust spring 14 at the rear end of the collection box 5, a continuous thrust is released to the collection box 5, preventing it from retracting into the base 1 due to vibrations from the equipment operation. When the equipment is not running, by pushing the collection box 5 into the base 1, the air pump 4 is controlled to retract, causing the vibrating plate 3 to descend and press down the insertion rod 17, inserting it into the connecting rod 16. Inside, the collection box 5 is limited so that it can be stored back inside the base 1, saving space. When the equipment is in use, the operating time of the equipment is controlled by the control cabinet 2. When the tea processing is completed, the air pump 4 pushes the vibrating plate 3 to move upward, and the third thrust spring 18 pushes the insert rod 17 to move upward, disengaging it from the inside of the connecting rod 16 and releasing the limitation on the collection box 5. Under the thrust of the second thrust spring 14, the collection box 5 is pushed to move outward. By installing the first slider 20 on both sides of the push plate 15, the movement of the push plate 15 can be limited to prevent the push plate 15 from tilting when the second thrust spring 14 pushes it, which would cause the collection box 5 at the front end of the push plate 15 to move and get stuck.
