Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically a high-quality tea cutting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Tea culture is a traditional Chinese culture, traditionally associated with middle-aged and elderly people. Driven by economic development, new-style tea drinks, such as milk tea, are increasingly popular among younger generations. Tea leaves are a key ingredient in these new drinks. If shops use whole tea leaves for brewing, it takes a long time, significantly impacting the consumer experience. This is especially true for long, thin tea leaves. Industry experts have found that cutting tea leaves into 5-8 mm pieces achieves a near-perfect balance between brewing time and flavor. Based on this discovery, engineers designed tea-cutting machines. While there are various types of tea-cutting machines, the toothed roller cutter is currently the most common for long, thin tea leaves. This machine has two sets of cutting rollers with evenly spaced teeth. The teeth of the two sets of rollers interlock, and the rollers rotate relative to each other, cutting the long, thin tea leaves through the interlocking teeth. However, this cutting process presents two problems. Firstly, long strips of tea leaves are directly poured into the tea-cutting machine, arranged haphazardly in a crisscross pattern. This makes it impossible to guarantee that the leaves enter the machine parallel to the axis of the cutting rollers, which is essential for cutting accuracy. Furthermore, this haphazard arrangement greatly increases friction between the leaves, making them difficult to separate and causing them to clump together into a net-like or lumpy pattern. This not only prevents them from entering the cutting rollers but can also cause them to accumulate above the rollers, disrupting the cutting process. Secondly, gaps exist between the teeth of the two sets of cutting rollers and between the tooth end faces and the surfaces of the opposite cutting rollers. Tea leaves are ground in these gaps, resulting in dust. Both of these problems reduce the quality of the cut tea. Therefore, how to prevent long strips of tea leaves from clumping or forming a net during transport and ensure they enter the cutting machine in a directional manner to improve cutting accuracy while avoiding grinding and reducing dust, thus improving the overall quality of the cut tea, has become an increasingly urgent problem for relevant technical personnel. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a high-quality tea cutting machine.
[0004] A high-quality tea cutting machine includes a tea sorting section and a tea cutting section, wherein the tea cutting section is located in the feeding direction of the tea sorting section. The tea sorting section includes a first support, with square plates fixedly installed at both the lower and upper parts of the first support. A spring is fixedly installed on the upper part of the upper square plate, and a folding plate is fixedly installed on the upper part of the spring. A retaining seat is fixedly installed between the folding plates. The retaining seat has an opening on the side closest to the tea cutting section, and a wave plate is fixedly installed on the inner side of the retaining seat. A connecting cover is fixedly installed at the lower part of the retaining seat, and a vibration motor is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting cover furthest from the tea cutting section.
[0005] Furthermore, the crests and troughs of the wave plate extend towards the tea-cutting section.
[0006] Furthermore, the tea-cutting section includes a second support, with a base fixedly mounted on the lower part of the second support and a guide plate fixedly mounted at an incline in the middle of the second support. A first rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the side of the guide plate near the tea-sorting section, and a receiving roller is fixedly mounted on the surface of the first rotating shaft. A second rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the side of the guide plate away from the tea-sorting section, and a cutting roller is fixedly mounted on the surface of the second rotating shaft. The cutting roller includes a blade assembly, with cutting blades arranged in a circular array on the surface of the blade assembly. The extension direction of the cutting edge of the blade is perpendicular to the extension direction of the crest and trough of the corrugated plate.
[0007] Furthermore, a first driven gear is fixedly mounted on one end of the first rotating shaft, and a second driven gear is fixedly mounted on the end of the second rotating shaft away from the first driven gear. A first motor is fixedly mounted on the same side as the first driven gear below the guide plate, and a second motor is fixedly mounted on the same side as the second driven gear below the guide plate. A first driving gear is fixedly mounted on the end of the output shaft of the first motor, and a second driving gear is fixedly mounted on the end of the output shaft of the second motor. Chains are provided between the first driving gear and the first driven gear, and between the second driving gear and the second driven gear.
[0008] Furthermore, a first bearing seat is fixedly installed at a position corresponding to the first rotating shaft of the second bracket, and the first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the first bearing seat. A second bearing seat is fixedly installed at a position corresponding to the second rotating shaft of the second bracket, and the second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the second bearing seat. A step is provided on the side of the first bearing seat near the second bearing seat, and the step is parallel to the second bearing seat.
[0009] Furthermore, a mounting rod is fixedly provided between the guide plate and the receiving roller, and a baffle is fixedly provided on the side of the mounting rod near the guide plate.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this high-quality tea-cutting machine are as follows:
[0011] 1. The tea-sorting section utilizes the vibration of a vibrating motor, the decomposition of vibration by springs, and the diversion of long strips of tea leaves by a wave plate through its crests and troughs. This ensures that the long strips of tea leaves vibrate evenly on the surface of the wave plate, and that the length direction of the tea leaves aligns with the direction of the wave crests and troughs. This effectively prevents the long strips of tea leaves from crisscrossing and disorderly arranging, or even forming a net or clump. It also directs the tea leaves into the tea-cutting section. Combined with the design where the cutting blades extend perpendicularly to the direction of the wave crests and troughs of the wave plate, the long strips of tea leaves can be cut. The high-speed rotation of the circular array of cutting blades ensures that each long strip of tea leaf is cut evenly, thereby effectively improving the quality of tea cutting.
[0012] 2. The circular array of cutters allows the blades to directly contact the receiving roller to complete the tea cutting process, effectively avoiding the grinding of tea leaves caused by the gaps between the roller teeth and the opposite roller teeth and the cutter roller, as is the case in traditional methods, thus further improving the quality of tea cutting.
[0013] 3. The stepped design on the side of the first bearing seat near the second bearing seat allows the operator to determine whether the first and second rotating shafts are parallel based on whether the step is parallel to the second bearing seat. This effectively ensures the positioning accuracy of the first and second rotating shafts. The first and second rotating shafts are parallel to each other, and the cutter and the receiving roller are in full contact, further improving the tea cutting quality. Attached Figure Description

A guide plate 19 is obliquely fixedly mounted on the middle part of the second support 11. A first rotating shaft 14 is rotatably mounted on the side of the guide plate 19 near the tea-sorting section 2. A receiving roller 18 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the first rotating shaft 14. A second rotating shaft 15 is rotatably mounted on the side of the guide plate 19 away from the tea-sorting section 2. A cutting roller 17 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the second rotating shaft 15. The cutting roller 17 includes a blade assembly 24. The blade assembly 24 has cutters arranged in a circular array on its surface. The extension direction of the blade of the cutter is perpendicular to the extension direction of the crest and trough of the wave plate 9.
[0025] Furthermore, a first driven gear 16 is fixedly mounted at one end of the first rotating shaft 14, and a second driven gear 21 is fixedly mounted at the end of the second rotating shaft 15 away from the first driven gear 16. A first motor 13 is fixedly mounted below the guide plate 19 on the same side as the first driven gear 16, and a second motor 20 is fixedly mounted below the guide plate 19 on the same side as the second driven gear 21. A first driving gear is fixedly mounted at the end of the output shaft of the first motor 13, and a second driving gear is fixedly mounted at the end of the output shaft of the second motor 20. Chains are provided between the first driving gear and the first driven gear 16, and between the second driving gear and the second driven gear 21.
[0026] Furthermore, a first bearing seat 22 is fixedly provided at a position corresponding to the first rotating shaft 14 on the second bracket 11, and the first rotating shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the first bearing seat 22. A second bearing seat 23 is fixedly provided at a position corresponding to the second rotating shaft 15 on the second bracket 11, and the second rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the second bearing seat 23.

[0027] Furthermore, an installation rod 25 is fixedly provided between the guide plate 19 and the receiving roller 18, and a baffle 26 is fixedly provided on the side of the installation rod 25 near the guide plate 19.
[0028] The working principle of this high-quality tea cutting machine is as follows: The pre-feeding device conveys long strips of tea leaves to the tea sorting section 2, causing the tea leaves to fall onto the wave plate 9. The vibration motor 4 is started, and the vibration motor 4 drives the connecting cover 7, the surrounding seat 10, and the wave plate 9 to vibrate as a whole. The spring 3 decomposes the non-vertical vibration into vertical and horizontal vibrations. This vibration process makes the tea leaves on the wave plate 9 vibrate evenly, and the tea leaves gather in the troughs, with their length direction consistent with the extension direction of the crests and troughs. In this way, the tea leaves will not be arranged haphazardly or even form a net or clump. This vibration process ultimately directs the tea leaves into the tea cutting section 1 and onto the cutting roller 17 and the receiving roller 18. The first motor 13 and the second motor 20 are started in advance. The first motor 13 drives the second motor 20 through the chain. A driven gear 16, a first rotating shaft 14, and a receiving roller 18 rotate synchronously. A second motor 20 drives a second driven gear 21, a second rotating shaft 15, and a cutting roller 17 to rotate synchronously via a chain. The receiving roller 18 and the cutting roller 17 rotate relative to each other. The cutting blade contacts the surface of the receiving roller 18. The extension direction of the cutting blade is perpendicular to the extension direction of the crests and troughs of the corrugated plate 9, so that the tea leaves and the cutting blades contact each other in a perpendicular state. This completes the cutting of long strip tea leaves. The cutters arranged in a ring array rotate at high speed with the second rotating shaft 15, which can complete the uniform cutting of single long strip tea leaves, thereby effectively improving the quality of tea cutting. The cut tea leaves fall onto the guide plate 19 and are discharged. The baffle 26 provides a shield for the tea leaves falling onto the guide plate 19, preventing the tea leaves from scattering in the opposite direction.
[0029] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
