Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tea processing technology and relates to a kneading device for new tea production. Background Technology
[0002] Tea has antioxidant and anti-aging effects, and it also contains rich trace elements that accelerate metabolism. Rolling equipment is needed in the production and processing of tea.
[0003] Patent application number 202420882762.8 discloses a tea kneading mechanism, including a kneading machine body; a crank mechanism, which is mounted on the top of the kneading machine body via a connecting shaft; a kneading drum, which is mounted on the top of the crank arm mechanism via a hinge shaft; a kneading drum, which is mounted between the crank arm mechanisms via a hinge shaft; a pressure mechanism, which is mounted on the surface of the kneading drum and extends into the interior of the kneading drum; a kneading disc, which is mounted between the kneading machine body and the kneading drum and is interconnected with the kneading machine body; and a return material mechanism, which includes a return material pipe, a servo motor, and an auger shaft, and is interconnected with the lower surface of the kneading machine body. The aforementioned patent document, through the arrangement of components such as the return material pipe, the drive motor, and the auger shaft, achieves the effect of returning tea leaves. When the tea leaves enter the return material pipe through the leakage hole, the servo motor is energized to drive the auger shaft to rotate, thereby achieving the effect of the tea leaves moving upward along the vertical pipe under the conveying of the auger shaft and being discharged from the inclined discharge pipe, allowing the tea leaves to return to the kneading disc.
[0004] However, both the kneading mechanism and traditional kneading machines have disadvantages such as large footprint, low integration, and small amount of tea leaves kneaded in the same amount of time. In order to solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a kneading device for new tea production. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems existing in the background technology, this utility model proposes a kneading device for a new type of tea production.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a kneading device for new tea production, comprising a kneading machine body, wherein the kneading machine body includes multiple kneading chambers;
[0007] A kneading robotic arm is installed inside the kneading machine body; the kneading robotic arm includes multiple kneading arms, and the multiple kneading arms correspond to and are adapted to multiple kneading cavities;
[0008] The driving mechanism drives the kneading robotic arms to reciprocate within the kneading machine body, and drives multiple kneading arms to grind against the inner wall of the corresponding kneading chamber.
[0009] Furthermore, the kneading machine body also includes an end cap installed on the side wall, the end cap covering the kneading cavity.
[0010] Furthermore, the kneading machine body also includes a feed inlet located on its top and communicating with the kneading cavity, and a sealing cover is installed at the feed inlet.
[0011] Furthermore, the kneading machine body also includes a mounting bracket installed at its bottom.
[0012] Furthermore, the kneading machine body is provided with mounting holes, and the end cap is installed on the kneading machine body by fastening bolts engaging with the mounting holes.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: Through the coordination of the kneading machine body, kneading robotic arms, and drive mechanism, the drive mechanism drives multiple kneading arms to move within corresponding kneading chambers. This kneads the tea leaves within the kneading chambers and simultaneously draws the tea leaves into adjacent kneading chambers in a continuous cycle, improving the kneading effect. Compared to traditional structures, this structure occupies less space, kneads a larger volume of tea leaves, and has a wider range of applications. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A kneading device for new tea production includes a kneading machine body 1, a kneading mechanical arm 2, and a drive mechanism 3; wherein the kneading machine body 1 includes multiple kneading cavities 11, the kneading mechanical arm 2 is installed inside the kneading machine body 1, the kneading mechanical arm 2 includes multiple kneading arms 21, the multiple kneading arms 21 correspond to multiple kneading cavities 11 and are adapted to the kneading cavities 11; the drive mechanism 3 drives the kneading mechanical arm 2 to reciprocate within the kneading machine body 1, and drives the multiple kneading arms 21 to grind on the inner wall of the corresponding kneading cavity 11.
[0024] It should be noted that the kneading chambers 11 and kneading arms 21 must correspond one-to-one, and the number is not limited. This embodiment illustrates the adaptation of the kneading chambers 11 and kneading arms 21 through an example. Five kneading chambers 11 and five kneading arms 21 are provided. Figure 3-5 As shown, for ease of description, the five kneading chambers 11 are respectively named as the first kneading chamber 11, the second kneading chamber 11, the third kneading chamber 11, the fourth kneading chamber 11, and the fifth kneading chamber 11, starting from the topmost kneading chamber 11 and proceeding clockwise. The corresponding kneading arms 21 are also named as the first kneading arm 21, the second kneading arm 21, the third kneading arm 21, the fourth kneading arm 21, and the fifth kneading arm 21.
[0025] When the drive mechanism 3 drives the kneading robot arm 2 to move clockwise in the kneading machine body 1, the first kneading arm 21 gradually moves from the left side of the first kneading cavity 11 to the right side of the first kneading cavity 11. During this process, the first kneading arm 21 always fits against the inner wall of the first kneading cavity 11. As for the second kneading arm 21, the second kneading arm 21 first moves away from the second kneading cavity. At this time, the tea leaves in the first kneading cavity fall into the cavity between the first kneading arm 21 and the second kneading arm 21. As the kneading robot arm 2 runs, the protruding parts of the first kneading cavity 11 and the second kneading cavity 11 cooperate with the cavity between the first kneading arm 21 and the second kneading arm 21, so that the tea leaves enter the second kneading cavity 11 and are kneaded under the action of the second kneading arm 21. By repeating the above operation, the tea leaves can be kneaded in the first kneading cavity 11, the second kneading cavity 11, the third kneading cavity 11, the fourth kneading cavity 11, and the fifth kneading cavity 11 through the corresponding kneading arm 21 in a cycle.
[0026] In this embodiment, the kneading machine body 1 also includes an end cap 12 installed on the side wall, which covers the kneading cavity 11. During kneading, the end cap 12 prevents the tea leaves from detaching from the kneading cavity 11. Simultaneously, after kneading is complete, the end cap 12 is opened to allow the kneaded tea leaves to detach. Alternatively, a discharge port can be provided at the bottom of the kneading machine body 1, and a cover can be installed at the discharge port so that the tea leaves can also detach from the discharge port after kneading is complete.
[0027] In this embodiment, the kneading machine body 1 also includes a feed inlet located on its top and communicating with the kneading cavity 11, and a sealing cover 13 is installed at the feed inlet. Tea leaves enter the kneading cavity 11 through the feed inlet.
[0028] In this embodiment, the kneading machine body 1 also includes a mounting bracket 14 installed at its bottom. The mounting bracket 14 is used to fix the kneading machine body 1, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the kneading machine body 1.
[0029] In this embodiment, the kneading machine body 1 is provided with mounting holes, and the end cap 12 is installed on the kneading machine body 1 by fastening bolts and engaging with the mounting holes.
[0030] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 3 includes a drive motor 31, a crank 32, and a shaft 33. Specifically, the kneading robot arm 2 is hollow and open on one side. The shaft 33 is fixed to the middle of the kneading robot arm 2 by a connecting plate. The two ends of the crank 32 are rotatably connected to the shaft 33 and the output shaft of the drive motor 31, respectively. The drive motor 31 is mounted on either end cover 12. Both the crank 32 and the shaft 33 are located inside the hollow of the kneading robot arm 2.
[0031] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
