Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vibratory conveyor technology, specifically a vibratory conveyor for cooling tea leaves that facilitates dispersion. Background Technology

[0002] Fixing (or killing the green) is a crucial step in tea processing. Its main purpose is to quickly deactivate the enzymes in the tea leaves through high temperatures or other methods, preventing discoloration and flavor changes due to enzymatic oxidation during subsequent processing, thus preserving the green color and freshness of the tea. After fixing, the tea leaves need to be cooled and transported to the next process, which requires the use of a cooling vibrating conveyor. However, during the conveying process, because the tea leaves are simply fed haphazardly, they tend to pile up, causing them to squeeze against each other, which can easily lead to leaf breakage or twisting, affecting the integrity of the tea leaves. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a tea cooling vibrating conveyor that facilitates dispersion. It solves the problem that in the existing tea cooling vibrating conveyor, the tea leaves are simply fed randomly during the conveying process, which causes the tea leaves to pile up and squeeze each other, easily resulting in leaf breakage or twisting, thus affecting the integrity of the tea leaves.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tea cooling vibration conveyor for easy dispersion, comprising a base plate, two U-shaped plates fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a second motor fixedly connected to the front of one of the U-shaped plates, a first guide roller rotatably connected between the two U-shaped plates, the output end of the second motor fixed to the first guide roller, a second guide roller rotatably connected between the two U-shaped plates, a conveyor belt sleeved on the first guide roller and the second guide roller, a box body provided on the top of the base plate, and a first motor fixedly connected to the box body;

[0005] The output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to a connecting rod, which is rotatably connected to the inside of the box via a bearing. Two cams are fixedly connected to the connecting rod, and two movable rods are slidably connected to the box. A top plate is fixedly connected to the top of the two movable rods, and a movable plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two movable rods. The movable plate is located on top of the two cams. An auxiliary spring is sleeved on the movable rod, and three cooling fans are provided on the top of the conveyor belt.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: one end of the auxiliary spring is fixedly connected to the box body, and the other end of the auxiliary spring is fixedly connected to the moving plate.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: two upright plates are fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body, the two upright plates are symmetrically arranged about the middle of the box body, and the upright plates are fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: two L-shaped plates are fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped plate, and the number of L-shaped plates is four, with connecting plates fixedly connected to the four L-shaped plates.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the connecting plate is fixed to three cooling fans, and the three cooling fans are evenly distributed at the bottom of the connecting plate.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the movable plate is located inside the box, and several partitions are fixedly connected to the conveyor belt.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. This tea cooling vibrating conveyor, designed for easy dispersion, comprises a cam, a moving plate, a first motor, a movable rod, and a top plate. In operation, the second motor drives the first guide roller to rotate, causing the conveyor belt to operate and transport the tea. Simultaneously, the first motor drives the connecting rod and the cam to rotate. As the cam rotates 180 degrees, it gradually pushes the moving plate, movable rod, and top plate upwards. Simultaneously, the moving plate compresses the auxiliary spring. As the cam continues to rotate 180 degrees, the moving plate gradually loses the pushing force of the cam. Under the combined action of the moving plate's own weight and the restoring force of the auxiliary spring, the moving plate moves downwards. The moving plate then drives the movable rod and top plate downwards, thus achieving the reciprocating up-and-down movement of the top plate. The top plate impacts the conveyor belt, causing it to vibrate, thereby facilitating the dispersion of tea leaves on the conveyor belt and preventing the tea leaves from being squeezed together, causing leaf breakage or twisting, thus ensuring the integrity of the tea.

[0013] 2. This easy-to-distribute tea cooling vibrating conveyor, by setting up a U-shaped plate, a conveyor belt and partitions, when in use, the second motor is started to drive the first guide roller to rotate, so that the conveyor belt operates to transport the tea. When the conveyor belt transports the tea, the partitions can separate the tea, so that the tea is distributed more evenly and facilitates subsequent processing. At the same time, the U-shaped plate limits the tea and prevents the tea from falling off the conveyor belt. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a tea cooling vibration conveyor for easy dispersion, including a base plate 1, with two U-shaped plates 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. The U-shaped plates 2 limit the tea leaves and prevent them from falling off the conveyor belt 5. A second motor 16 is fixedly connected to the front of one of the U-shaped plates 2. A first guide roller 17 is rotatably connected between the two U-shaped plates 2. The output end of the second motor 16 is fixed to the first guide roller 17. A second guide roller 18 is rotatably connected between the two U-shaped plates 2. Two L-shaped plates 6 are fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped plates 2. There are four L-shaped plates 6 in total. A connecting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the four L-shaped plates 6.

[0022] A conveyor belt 5 is fitted onto the first guide roller 17 and the second guide roller 18. A box 4 is provided on the top of the base plate 1. Two upright plates 3 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the box 4. The two upright plates 3 are symmetrically arranged about the middle of the box 4. The upright plates 3 are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. A first motor 9 is fixedly connected to the box 4. A connecting rod 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 9. The connecting rod 10 is rotatably connected to the inside of the box 4 through a bearing.

[0023] Two cams 11 are fixedly connected to the connecting rod 10, and two movable rods 14 are slidably connected to the box body 4. Because of the movable rods 14, when the auxiliary spring 15 is compressed, the movable rods 14 can limit the auxiliary spring 15, avoid the auxiliary spring 15 from bending excessively and deforming, and ensure the normal use of the auxiliary spring 15. The top of the two movable rods 14 is fixedly connected to the top plate 13, and the bottom of the two movable rods 14 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 12. The moving plate 12 is located on the top of the two cams 11 and inside the box body 4. Several partitions 19 are fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 5. Because of the partitions 19, the partitions 19 can separate the tea leaves, making the tea leaves more evenly distributed and facilitating subsequent processing.

[0024] An auxiliary spring 15 is sleeved on the movable rod 14. Because of the auxiliary spring 15, when the auxiliary spring 15 is reset, it can push the moving plate 12 to move down. With the help of the weight of the moving plate 12, it is easy to realize the quick reset of the moving plate 12. Three cooling fans 8 are set on the top of the conveyor belt 5. Because of the cooling fans 8, the air flow around the tea leaves is accelerated by starting the cooling fans 8, which is easy to realize the quick cooling of the tea leaves. One end of the auxiliary spring 15 is fixedly connected to the box 4, and the other end of the auxiliary spring 15 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 12. The connecting plate 7 is fixed to the three cooling fans 8, and the three cooling fans 8 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the connecting plate 7.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0026] In use, the second motor 16 is started to drive the first guide roller 17 to rotate, causing the conveyor belt 5 to operate and thus transport the tea. At the same time, the first motor 9 is started to drive the connecting rod 10 and the cam 11 to rotate. During the rotation of the cam 11 by 180 degrees, the cam 11 will gradually push the moving plate 12, the movable rod 14 and the top plate 13 to move upward. At the same time, the moving plate 12 will compress the auxiliary spring 15. During the continued rotation of the cam 11 by 180 degrees, the moving plate 12 gradually loses the pushing effect of the cam 11. Under the combined action of the moving plate 12's own weight and the return of the auxiliary spring 15, the moving plate 12 moves downward. The moving plate 12 drives the movable rod 14 and the top plate 13 to move downward, thus realizing the reciprocating up and down movement of the top plate 13. The top plate 13 impacts the conveyor belt 5, causing the conveyor belt 5 to vibrate. When the tea is transported to the bottom of the cooling fan 8, the cooling fan 8 is started to cool the tea.
