Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sorting technology, specifically a tea airflow sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Tea air separation equipment, also known as air classifier, is based on the core principle of aerodynamics.

[0003] The equipment generates a controllable airflow through a fan, and uses the differences in density, volume and shape between tea particles and impurities to achieve separation.

[0004] For example, patent CN214638247U discloses a tea grading air separator. This patent uses a first blower to separate tea leaves into four different filter chambers based on their weight. Each filter chamber is equipped with a screen to screen tea leaves of different lengths, sizes, and thicknesses, and then sort them into nine grades for discharge. This effectively separates the tea leaves by weight and quality, saving a lot of manpower and time, and significantly improving work efficiency.

[0005] In the actual process of sorting and introducing tea leaves, after the tea leaves are kneaded and fermented, the surface sticky substances (such as pectin and tea juice) increase, which may cause them to stick together and clump together. This may also happen if the moisture content is too high or if static electricity exacerbates the agglomeration. However, when the tea leaves are sorted by airflow, the small particles or impurities inside the clumps are difficult to be blown away by the airflow, resulting in incomplete sorting and inferior tea being mixed with high-quality tea.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a tea airflow separation device to solve the above problems.

[0007] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of this application concept, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this application provides a tea airflow sorting device, which is mainly installed on the tea production line for tea sorting operations. The tea airflow sorting device includes a column 1 and a sorting mechanism 2 set on the upper end of the column 1. The sorting mechanism 2 includes a cover 20 fixedly set on the upper end of the column 1. The cover 20 has a cavity inside (not shown in the figure), and an inlet 21 is opened on the upper end of the cover 20. The inlet 21 is connected to the inside of the cover 20 so that tea can be introduced into the cavity through the inlet 21.

[0040] Meanwhile, a guide plate 29 is fixedly installed inside the cavity. The guide plate 29 is located at the lower end of the inlet 21 and is inclined. The guide plate 29 guides the tea leaves from the inlet 21 into the cavity. For ease of explanation, the inclined side of the guide plate 29 that guides the tea leaves is defined as the first inclined side.

[0041] Furthermore, a nozzle 40 is provided on the side of the guide plate 29. The air outlet of the nozzle 40 is located on the first inclined surface. Meanwhile, a blower 27 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the cover 20. The output end of the blower 27 is connected to the nozzle 40 through a pipe, so that the airflow will be discharged through the air outlet of the nozzle 40 and act on the tea leaves falling along the first inclined surface.

[0042] Understandably, under the action of airflow, lighter tea leaves will be blown up, while heavier tea leaves will fall directly down the first inclined surface, thus achieving the sorting of tea leaves. Furthermore, the nozzle 40 is flat and covers the first inclined surface, thereby ensuring that the airflow from the nozzle 40 is evenly distributed.

[0043] In order to collect the falling tea leaves, a receiving trough 22 is fixedly installed inside the cavity. The receiving trough 22 is located at the lower end of the guide plate 29, so that the tea leaves falling along the first inclined surface will enter the receiving trough 22 for collection. At the same time, an outlet 26 is provided at the lower end of the cover 20. The outlet 26 is connected to the inside of the receiving trough 22 to facilitate the discharge of the tea leaves introduced into the receiving trough 22.

[0044] In order to collect the blown tea leaves, a temporary storage box 25 is fixedly installed inside the cavity. The temporary storage box 25 is located on one side of the receiving groove 22. It can be understood that, along the blowing direction of the airflow from the nozzle 40, the temporary storage box 25 is located at a position farther away from the nozzle 40, while the receiving groove 22 is located at a position closer to the nozzle 40. Thus, the heavier tea leaves will enter the receiving groove 22 by gravity, while the lighter tea leaves will be blown to a farther position and then reach the temporary storage box 25, thereby realizing the sorting of tea leaves.

[0045] More preferably, a filter box 28 is provided at the upper end of the cover 20, which is connected to the air inlet of the blower 27 to improve the cleanliness of the airflow and prevent impurities in the airflow from being introduced.

[0046] To prevent the tea leaves from clumping together during the infusion process, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, a dispersing mechanism 3 is provided on one side of the inlet 21. The dispersing mechanism 3 breaks up the tea clumps by dispersing the inlet tea clumps.

[0047] The dispersing mechanism 3 includes a transition plate 30 fixedly installed on one side of the inlet 21. The transition plate 30 is located at the upper end of the guide plate 29 and is inclined so that the tea leaves can be introduced into the guide plate 29 through the transition plate 30. It should be noted that the transition plate 30 and the guide plate 29 are located on opposite sides, and a gap is formed between the transition plate 30 and the guide plate 29 (not shown in the figure).

[0048] Meanwhile, multiple sets of motors 31 are fixedly installed on the other side of the inlet 21. The output end of the motor 31 extends through the inlet 21 to the gap between the transition plate 30 and the guide plate 29. A rotating shaft 32 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 31, so that starting the motor 31 can drive the rotating shaft 32 to rotate at the gap.

[0049] Meanwhile, a mounting frame 33 is provided at the other end of the rotating shaft 32, and multiple sets of dispersing rollers 35 are provided on the mounting frame 33. The dispersing rollers 35 are used to directly contact the tea leaves so that when the tea leaves on the transition plate 30 fall into the gap, the dispersing rollers 35 can be driven to rotate by starting the motor 31. During the rotation, the clumps of tea leaves are impacted, thereby achieving the effect of dispersing them evenly.

[0050] Furthermore, a slitting strip 36 is provided on the surface of the guide plate 29, which divides the surface of the guide plate 29 into different flow channels. When the tea leaves are broken up and fall to the guide plate 29 under the action of gravity, the tea leaves slide along the different flow channels under the guidance of the slitting strip 36, thereby carrying out subsequent sorting operations.

[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
