Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically a tea uniform stacking machine. Background Technology

[0002] Tea blending is a crucial step in tea processing, aiming to mix different batches and grades of tea evenly in a specific ratio to ensure the consistency of the finished tea's quality. However, existing tea blending equipment has many shortcomings in practical applications, especially in terms of poor mixing effect, which seriously affects the stability of tea quality and the production efficiency of enterprises.

[0003] Most existing tea blending machines use static stacking or simple conveyor belt spreading methods, which easily leads to stratification of tea leaves during the stacking process. For example, some blending machines spread tea leaves in the blending area using a conveyor belt, but due to the natural stacking characteristics of tea leaves, different batches of tea leaves easily form obvious stratification during the stacking process, resulting in uneven mixing. This stratification phenomenon is particularly noticeable when the tea leaves are stacked at a high level and is difficult to solve with simple spreading methods. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the technical problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a tea leaf uniform stacking machine, the purpose of which is to solve the above problems.

[0005] A tea leaf blending machine includes a support frame. An upwardly inclined conveying structure driven by an external drive structure is provided on the support frame. A feeding frame is provided near the bottom of the conveying structure. Multiple partitions are provided inside the feeding frame, which is divided into multiple feeding sub-frames by the partitions. A downwardly inclined guide plate is provided on the support frame corresponding to the top of the conveying structure. A conical collection port is provided at the bottom of the guide plate. A blending conveyor belt is provided laterally below the conical collection port.

[0006] Preferably, the conveying structure includes multiple conveyor belts, the number of which is consistent with the number of feeding frames and corresponds one-to-one, and the multiple conveyor belts are separated by baffles.

[0007] Preferably, multiple anti-slip strips are arrayed on each of the multiple conveyor belts.

[0008] Preferably, a mixing roller is rotatably provided at the conical collection port, and mixing blades are arranged in a ring array on the surface of the mixing roller. A motor is provided on the lower side of the guide plate corresponding to the mixing roller to drive its rotation.

[0009] Preferably, the conical collecting port is provided with an inclined downward extending feeding plate, the bottom of which corresponds to the uniform stacking conveyor belt.

[0010] Preferably, each of the multiple feeding frames is provided with a conical material collection trough, and a vibrating motor for auxiliary material feeding is provided on the outside of the feeding frame.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This utility model provides a tea blending machine that divides tea leaves into multiple feeding frames by setting multiple partitions inside the feeding frame, and correspondingly sets multiple independent conveyor belts, enabling batch feeding and independent conveying of tea leaves of different batches and grades. This frame feeding method avoids mixing and disorder of tea leaves during feeding, ensuring that the tea leaves are initially stratified and uniform before entering the blending conveyor belt;

[0013] Meanwhile, the conical collecting inlet can collect tea leaves from different conveyor belts and evenly spread them on the uniform stacking conveyor belt by extending the discharge plate, effectively preventing stratification during the stacking process and ensuring uniform distribution of the tea leaves on the belt. Furthermore, a mixing roller with mixing blades is installed at the conical collecting inlet. Driven by a motor, the mixing roller rotates to further disperse and mix the tea leaves. This dynamic mixing method effectively solves the problem of clumping or uneven stacking that may occur during the stacking process, significantly improving the uniformity of mixing.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model of tea uniform mixing machine effectively solves the problem of poor mixing effect of existing uniform mixing machines through optimized structural design. The following is a detailed description of the specific implementation method of the tea uniform mixing machine, which elaborates on its structural composition and working process.

[0021] This tea blending machine mainly includes a support frame 1, a conveying structure 2, a feeding frame 3, a guide plate 6, a conical collection port 7, a blending conveyor belt 8, a mixing roller 9, an extended discharge plate 12, a conical collection trough 13, and a vibrating motor 14. The support frame 1, serving as the basic framework of the entire equipment, is made of sturdy metal materials to ensure the stability and durability of the equipment. The conveying structure 2 is inclined upwards on the support frame 1 and consists of multiple conveyor belts 21. Each conveyor belt 21 is separated from the others by baffles 22 to ensure that the tea leaves do not interfere with each other during conveying. Anti-slip strips 23 are also provided on the conveyor belts 21 to prevent the tea leaves from slipping during conveying.

[0022] The feeding frame 3 is located near the bottom of the conveyor structure 2. Internally, it is divided into multiple feeding sub-frames 5 by several partitions 4. Each feeding sub-frame 5 corresponds to a conveyor belt 21. A conical collecting trough 13 is provided inside the feeding sub-frame 5 to collect tea leaves. A vibrating motor 14 is located on the outside of the feeding frame 3 to assist in the smooth feeding of tea leaves. A guide plate 6 is inclined downwards and mounted on the support frame 1 at the top of the conveyor structure 2 to guide the tea leaves downwards. A conical collecting port 7 is located at the bottom of the guide plate 6 to collect tea leaves that slide off the guide plate 6 and to facilitate the mixing of various teas. A uniform conveyor belt 8 is horizontally positioned below the conical collecting port 7 to receive and further transport the mixed tea leaves.

[0023] At the conical collection port 7, a mixing roller 9 is rotatably provided. The surface of the mixing roller 9 is provided with a circular array of mixing blades 10. Driven by a motor 11, the roller rotates to further disperse and mix the tea leaves. The conical collection port 7 is also provided with an inclined downward extension feeding plate 12, the bottom of which corresponds to the uniform stacking conveyor belt 8, and is used to evenly spread the tea leaves on the uniform stacking conveyor belt 8.

[0024] During the feeding stage, tea leaves of different batches or grades are fed into the various feeding sub-boxes 5 within the feeding frame 3. The tea leaves in each feeding sub-box 5 are collected by the conical collection trough 13 and fall smoothly onto the corresponding conveyor belt 21 with the assistance of the vibrating motor 14. The vibration of the vibrating motor 14 can effectively prevent the tea leaves from clogging or accumulating during the feeding process, ensuring smooth feeding of the tea leaves.

[0025] Tea leaves are conveyed upward along the conveyor belt 21 by an external drive structure. The anti-slip strips 23 on the conveyor belt 21 can effectively prevent the tea leaves from slipping during the conveying process and ensure the stable conveying of the tea leaves. Since each conveyor belt 21 corresponds to a feeding box 5, different batches or grades of tea leaves are initially distributed in layers during the conveying process, laying the foundation for subsequent mixing.

[0026] When the tea leaves reach the top of the conveyor structure 2, they slide down to the conical collection port 7 under the guidance of the guide plate 6. The conical collection port 7 is designed to effectively concentrate the tea leaves, and the tea leaves are further dispersed and mixed by the rotation of the mixing roller 9. The mixing blades 10 on the surface of the mixing roller 9 stir the tea leaves during the rotation process, so that the tea leaves are further mixed evenly before entering the uniform stacking conveyor belt 8, which effectively solves the problem of lumps or uneven stacking that may occur during the stacking process.

[0027] The mixed tea leaves are evenly spread onto the uniform stacking conveyor belt 8 via the extended feeding plate 12. The design of the extended feeding plate 12 can be adjusted according to the width and position of the uniform stacking conveyor belt 8 to ensure that the tea leaves can be evenly distributed on the entire conveyor belt. The uniform stacking conveyor belt 8 further transports the mixed tea leaves to the subsequent process to complete the uniform stacking process.

[0028] This utility model's tea blending machine, through its design of separate frame feeding and independent conveying, enables different batches or grades of tea to achieve preliminary stratification before entering the blending conveyor belt 8. The further mixing action of the conical collection port 7 and the mixing roller 9 effectively solves the problems of stratification and clumping that may occur during the tea stacking process, significantly improving the uniformity of tea mixing. At the same time, the blending machine, through the cooperation of multiple independent conveyor belts 21 and conical collection ports 7, realizes continuous feeding and unloading of tea, avoiding the problem of low production efficiency caused by repeated stacking and spreading in traditional blending machines. The dynamic mixing function of the mixing roller 9 and the uniform spreading function of the extended unloading plate 12 enable automated mixing and conveying of tea, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency.

[0029] Furthermore, by setting multiple feeding frames 5 and independent conveyor belts 21, adjustments can be made flexibly according to the variety, grade, and batch of tea to meet different production needs. The extended feeding plate 12 can be adjusted according to the width and position of the uniform distribution conveyor belt 8 to ensure that the tea leaves are evenly spread on the conveyor belt, enhancing the applicability of the equipment. The uniform distribution machine of this invention has a compact structure. Through reasonable layout and design, unnecessary complex structures are reduced, lowering the manufacturing cost of the equipment. The main components of the equipment, such as the conveyor belt 21, mixing roller 9, and vibrating motor 14, all adopt a modular design, which is easy to install and maintain, reducing equipment maintenance costs and downtime.

[0030] In summary, the tea blending machine of the present invention significantly improves the uniformity of tea mixing, increases production efficiency, enhances the flexibility and applicability of the equipment through optimized structural design, while simplifying the equipment structure and reducing maintenance costs, demonstrating significant innovation and practicality.
