Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, and in particular to a tumbling and cleaning device for tea processing. Background Technology
[0002] Tea leaves need to be cleaned using a cleaning machine before processing. However, most traditional cleaning machines use a direct spraying of cleaning solution. During the cleaning process, the tea leaves are easily scattered by the cleaning solution, and their positions are mostly relatively fixed, resulting in poor cleaning effect.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, patent document CN217491847U discloses a tea washing machine for tea production and processing. The machine includes a housing with a filter screen slidably connected to its inner wall via a sliding groove. Sleeves are fixedly connected to both sides of the filter screen. This tea washing machine, through its structure consisting of a housing, filter screen, sleeves, a threaded rod servo motor, mounting plate, and gears, utilizes a servo motor to rotate the threaded rod, causing the sleeves to move horizontally through the filter screen and its base plate. During this movement, the gears mesh with a toothed plate, rotating the washing drum. This rotation tumbles the tea leaves inside, resulting in a thorough rinse and improved cleaning efficiency. Simultaneously, the washing drum prevents the tea leaves from scattering due to the washing liquid, facilitating convenient collection by workers after washing.
[0004] Based on the above search and the findings of existing technologies, while existing tea processing cleaning devices (such as the tea cleaning machine mentioned above) achieve the purpose of turning over the tea leaves for cleaning, the tea leaves are piled up in the cleaning drum, and their general structure is also in a clump (or long column) shape when they are turned over in the cleaning drum. This makes it difficult to thoroughly clean the inside of the clump of tea leaves, requiring repeated and long-term cleaning. Not only is the cleaning efficiency low, but the cleaning effect often does not meet expectations. Therefore, there is a need for a tumbling cleaning device for tea processing. Utility Model Content

[0007] The cleaning tub has multiple water outlet holes that penetrate the side wall of the cleaning tub. The multiple water outlet holes are evenly distributed along the side wall of the cleaning tub. The cleaning tub is a double-layered tub with an internal cavity and a water passage cavity on the tub wall. The water passage cavity is not connected to the water outlet holes. The inner side wall of the cleaning tub has multiple water distribution holes. The multiple water distribution holes are evenly distributed along the inner side wall of the cleaning tub and connect the cavity of the cleaning tub and the water passage cavity.
[0008] Multiple agitation spray pipes are fixed on the inner wall of the cavity of the cleaning tank. Each agitation spray pipe corresponds to and is connected to a multiple water distribution hole. Multiple spray holes are opened on the agitation spray pipe.
[0009] A shaft tube is fixedly installed through the middle of the cleaning tub. One end of the shaft tube is closed, and the other end of the shaft tube is rotatably connected to the vertical side plate of the base through a bearing. The other end of the shaft tube is also rotatably connected to a water supply pipe through an adapter sleeve.
[0010] The shaft tube has a diversion hole, and the cleaning tub has a water inlet hole at the position corresponding to the diversion hole. The water inlet hole connects the inner cavity of the shaft tube with the water passage cavity.
[0011] Preferably, the shaft tube is also provided with a plurality of water distribution holes II, which are all located in the cavity of the cleaning tub and are evenly distributed on the peripheral sidewall of the shaft tube.
[0012] Multiple disturbance spray pipes are also fixed on the peripheral wall of the shaft tube. Each disturbance spray pipe corresponds to a different water distribution hole, and the water distribution hole connects the inner cavity of the shaft tube with the disturbance spray pipe.
[0013] Preferably, the agitation spray pipes on the shaft tube and the agitation spray pipes on the inner wall of the cleaning tank are arranged alternately.
[0014] The length of the agitated spray pipe exceeds the distance between the outer wall of the shaft tube and the inner wall of the cleaning tub.
[0015] Preferably, the agitation spray pipe includes an inner pipe and a flexible sleeve, with the end of the inner pipe away from the inner wall of the cleaning tank or the outer wall of the shaft tube forming a closed end, and the open end of the inner pipe fixed to the inner wall of the cleaning tank or the outer wall of the shaft tube.
[0016] The flexible sleeve is fixedly fitted onto the inner tube, and the water spray hole penetrates through the inner tube and the side wall of the flexible sleeve.
[0017] Preferably, the base has an upward-facing water collection cavity;
[0018] Two symmetrically arranged guide arc plates are fixed at the upper end of the base and located on both sides of the opening. The guide arc plates are located on both sides of the lower part of the cleaning tank, and the upper end of the guide arc plates extends to the middle of the cleaning tank.
[0019] The base has splash-proof end plates integrally formed on both the left and right sides. The splash-proof end plates extend upward and are higher than the opening of the water collection cavity, and the inner side wall of the splash-proof end plates is fixed to the side wall of the guide arc plate.

[0031] 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.
[0032] Example: Reference Figure 1-4 The tumbling and cleaning device for tea processing shown includes a base 1, a cleaning tank 2 rotatably mounted on the upper end of the base 1, and a drive structure for supporting and driving the cleaning tank 2 to rotate. One end of the cleaning tank 2 is provided with a pick-up and drop-off port, and a lid 6 that seals the pick-up and drop-off port is covered inside the pick-up and drop-off port.
[0033] The cleaning tub 2 has multiple water outlet holes 201 that penetrate the side wall of the cleaning tub 2. The multiple water outlet holes 201 are evenly distributed along the side wall of the cleaning tub 2. The cleaning tub 2 is a double-layered tub with an internal cavity and a water passage cavity 202 on the tub wall. The water passage cavity 202 is not connected to the water outlet holes 201. The inner side wall of the cleaning tub 2 has multiple water distribution holes 203. The multiple water distribution holes 203 are evenly distributed along the inner side wall of the cleaning tub 2 and connect the cavity of the cleaning tub 2 and the water passage cavity 202.
[0034] Multiple agitation spray pipes 9 are fixed on the inner wall of the cavity of the cleaning tank 2. The multiple agitation spray pipes 9 correspond to and are connected to multiple water distribution holes 203. Multiple spray holes 903 are opened on the agitation spray pipes 9.
[0035] A shaft tube 8 is fixedly installed through the middle of the cleaning tank 2. One end of the shaft tube 8 is closed, and the other end of the shaft tube 8 is rotatably connected to the vertical side plate of the base 1 through a bearing. The other end of the shaft tube 8 is also rotatably connected to a water supply pipe 7 through an adapter sleeve 10. The adapter sleeve 10 is rotatably sleeved on the shaft tube 8 and is also rotatably connected to the water supply pipe 7. A sealed connection is formed between the water supply pipe 7, the shaft tube 8, and the adapter sleeve 10. The other end of the water supply pipe 7 is connected to a water pump (not shown in the figure) for conveying cleaning liquid (water) for cleaning tea leaves into the shaft tube 8.
[0036] The shaft tube 8 has a diversion hole 802, and the cleaning tub 2 has a water inlet hole 204 at the position corresponding to the diversion hole 802. The water inlet hole 204 connects the inner cavity of the shaft tube 8 with the water passage cavity 202.
[0037] Based on the above structure, during cleaning, the staff first opens the lid 6, puts the tea leaves into the cavity of the cleaning bucket 2, and then closes the lid 6. The cleaning bucket 2 is then rotated by a drive mechanism. Simultaneously, the cleaning solution for the tea leaves is delivered to the shaft tube 8 via the water supply pipe 7. The cleaning solution in the shaft tube 8 enters the water passage chamber 202 through the diversion hole 802 and the water inlet hole 204, and further enters the agitation spray pipe 9 through the water distribution hole 203. Finally, it is sprayed out from the spray hole 903 of the agitation spray pipe 9, thus cleaning the tea leaves in the cleaning bucket 2. During this process, the agitation spray pipe 9 can also disperse clumps of tea leaves, allowing them to spread out under the agitation of the spray pipe 9, thus thoroughly cleaning the tea leaves. At the same time, the agitation spray pipe 9 can spray multiple streams of water around itself to clean the surrounding tea leaves, further improving the cleaning effect and increasing the cleaning efficiency per unit time.
[0038] Furthermore, the shaft tube 8 is also provided with a plurality of water distribution holes 801, which are all located in the cavity of the cleaning tub 2 and are evenly distributed on the peripheral side wall of the shaft tube 8.
[0039] Multiple disturbance spray pipes 9 are also fixed on the peripheral side wall of the shaft tube 8. The multiple disturbance spray pipes 9 correspond one-to-one with multiple water distribution holes 801, and the water distribution holes 801 connect the inner cavity of the shaft tube 8 with the disturbance spray pipes 9.
[0040] The agitation spray pipe 9 on the shaft tube 8 and the agitation spray pipe 9 on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 2 are arranged in an alternating manner;
[0041] The length of the disturbing spray pipe 9 exceeds the distance between the outer wall of the shaft pipe 8 and the inner wall of the cleaning tank 2.
[0042] By also setting a disturbance spray pipe 9 on the shaft tube 8, the disturbance and dispersion effect on the tea leaves is increased. In addition, the two different sets of disturbance spray pipes 9 can cooperate with each other to rinse the tea leaves in all directions, thereby further improving the tea cleaning effect when using the product.
[0043] Furthermore, the disturbance spray pipe 9 includes an inner pipe 901 and a flexible sleeve 902. The end of the inner pipe 901 away from the inner wall of the cleaning tank 2 or the outer wall of the shaft tube 8 forms a closed end, and the open end of the inner pipe 901 is fixed to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 2 or the outer wall of the shaft tube 8.
[0044] The flexible sleeve 902 is made of a flexible material (such as silicone) commonly used in the prior art and applicable to this embodiment. It is soft and has good elasticity. The flexible sleeve 902 is fixedly sleeved on the inner tube 901, and the water spray hole 903 penetrates the inner tube 901 and the side wall of the flexible sleeve 902.
[0045] By using the flexible sleeve 902, damage to the tea leaves can be reduced while disturbing them, thereby reducing the breakage rate of the tea leaves after cleaning. This not only improves the cleaning effect but also enhances the quality of the cleaned tea leaves and reduces production losses.
[0046] Furthermore, a water collection cavity 101 with an upward opening is provided inside the base 1;
[0047] Two symmetrically arranged guide arc plates 102 are fixed on the upper end of the base 1 and located on both sides of the opening. The guide arc plates 102 are located on both sides of the lower part of the cleaning tank 2, and the upper end of the guide arc plates 102 extends to the middle of the cleaning tank 2.
[0048] The base 1 has splash-proof end plates 103 integrally formed on both the left and right sides. The splash-proof end plates 103 extend upward and are higher than the opening of the water collection cavity 101, and the inner side wall of the splash-proof end plates 103 is fixed to the side wall of the guide arc plate 102.
[0049] When the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank 2 falls, it flows into the water collection chamber 101 through the guidance of the two guide arc plates 102, which facilitates the centralized collection of the cleaning fluid after cleaning. The anti-splash end plate 103 can prevent the falling cleaning fluid from splashing out, ensuring the cleanliness of the surrounding environment.
[0050] It should be noted that a drain pipe or cleaning fluid recovery pipe (not shown in the figure) should also be installed on the base 1 to discharge the used cleaning fluid or to perform subsequent treatment (such as filtration and impurity removal) on the cleaning fluid for reuse.
[0051] Furthermore, the drive structure includes a drive motor 3, a drive gear 4, and a driven gear ring 5. The drive motor 3 is fixed to the upper surface of the base 1, and the drive gear 4 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the base 1 through a support block. The drive gear 4 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 3 via a transmission connection.
[0052] Driven gear ring 5 is fixedly sleeved on the end of the cleaning tank 2 away from the water supply pipe 7, and driven gear ring 5 meshes with driving gear 4.
[0053] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In daily use, the operator first needs to open the lid 6, put the tea leaves into the cavity of the cleaning bucket 2, and then close the lid 6. Next, the drive motor 3 is turned on, causing the drive motor 3 to drive the driven gear ring 5 to rotate via the drive gear 4. When the driven gear ring 5 rotates, it drives the cleaning bucket 2 to rotate. Simultaneously, the cleaning solution for cleaning the tea leaves is transported to the shaft tube 8 via the water pipe 7. A portion of the cleaning solution in the shaft tube 8 enters the water passage chamber 202 through the diversion hole 802 and the water inlet hole 204, and further enters the agitation spray pipe 9 through the water distribution hole 203, finally being sprayed out from the spray hole 903 of the agitation spray pipe 9. This process cleans the tea leaves in the cleaning tank 2, while another portion of the cleaning liquid enters another set of agitation spray pipes 9 through the water distribution hole 2 801 and is also sprayed out through the spray hole 903 to clean the tea leaves in the cleaning tank 2. During this process, the agitation spray pipes 9 can also disperse the clumps of tea leaves, allowing the tea leaves to spread out under the agitation of the agitation spray pipes 9, thereby thoroughly cleaning the tea leaves. At the same time, the two different sets of agitation spray pipes 9 can also cooperate with each other, and the agitation spray pipes 9 can spray multiple streams of water to their surroundings to clean the surrounding tea leaves, further improving the cleaning effect and increasing the cleaning efficiency per unit time.
[0054] After cleaning, the cleaning fluid is discharged from the water outlet 201 and flows into the water collection chamber 101 through the guidance of two guide arc plates 102, which facilitates the centralized collection of the cleaning fluid after cleaning. The anti-splash end plate 103 can prevent the falling cleaning fluid from splashing out, ensuring the cleanliness of the surrounding environment.
[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model 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 utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
