Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea-receiving equipment, and in particular to a movable tea-receiving device with a hinged side panel. Background Technology

[0002] With the mechanization and automation of the tea processing industry, continuous production processes from roasting and drying to packaging have become the industry mainstream. However, in the tea unloading stage, especially during the transfer from drying machines and roasting machines to the next process, traditional tea-receiving methods still have significant shortcomings. Currently, most tea factories still rely on manual hand-held sieves or containers to collect tea leaves, which is not only labor-intensive but also difficult to match with the pace of modern high-efficiency production. In addition, tea debris and tea dust generated during tea processing easily remain in the tea-receiving tools, making cleaning difficult and directly affecting tea quality and production efficiency. Therefore, developing a tea-receiving device that is suitable for mechanized production, easy to operate, and easy to clean has become an urgent need for the industry.

[0003] In existing technologies, the side panels of traditional tea-receiving containers are mostly fixed structures, making it easy for tea leaves to get stuck in the gaps between the side panels and the bottom plate. This requires repeated manual bending and cleaning, and sometimes even disassembly of the side panels, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. For example, some tea sieves use a one-piece welded structure, making it difficult to completely remove tea leaves after they remain. Long-term use can easily lead to mold growth, affecting the hygiene and safety of the tea, and resulting in poor practicality. Therefore, this utility model discloses a movable tea-receiving device with a liftable side panel to solve the problem of difficult cleaning caused by the non-adjustable side panels in existing side-panel tea-receiving devices. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a movable tea-receiving device with a hinged side panel, so as to solve the problem of difficult cleaning caused by the non-adjustable side panel in the existing side panel tea-receiving device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a hinged side-plate movable tea-receiving device, comprising: a rectangular support frame, with a set of universal wheels installed at each of the four bottom corners of the rectangular support frame; a mounting beam installed at the top of the rectangular support frame, and a tea-receiving plate installed in the middle of the mounting beam; telescopic side plates slidably inserted into the long side walls on both sides of the rectangular support frame; limit plates installed on both ends of the tea-receiving plate along the long side of the rectangular support frame; and an adjustment component provided on the rectangular support frame for adjusting the height of the telescopic side plates.

[0006] Preferably, the adjusting assembly includes two sets of sliding grooves, which are respectively formed on the sidewalls of the rectangular support frame and the long side of the mounting beam. A connecting rod is installed on the upper part of the two sets of telescopic side plates, located below the mounting beam. A mounting rod is installed on the bottom of the rectangular support frame, vertically corresponding to the position of the connecting rod. A vertical telescopic rod is installed in the middle of the connecting rod and the mounting rod, and a vertical spring is sleeved on the vertical telescopic rod. A loading hole is formed on the sidewall of the telescopic side plate, corresponding to the position of the limiting plate sidewall. A concave shape is slidably installed on the side of the loading hole near the outer wall of the telescopic side plate. A switch block is provided, and mounting blocks are installed on both sides of the loading hole corresponding to the recessed position of the concave switch block. A horizontal telescopic rod is installed on the mounting block near the inner side wall of the loading hole. A T-shaped limiting block is fixedly installed on the other end of the horizontal telescopic rod. The two ends of the T-shaped limiting block slide in contact with the inner wall of the groove of the concave switch block, and the other end of the T-shaped limiting block protrudes from the inner wall of the telescopic side plate. A horizontal spring is sleeved on the horizontal telescopic rod, and a first groove is formed on the side wall of the limiting plate corresponding to the position of the T-shaped limiting block. A second groove is formed on the bottom inner wall of the sliding groove corresponding to the position of the T-shaped limiting block.

[0007] Preferably, one end of the vertical spring is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting rod, and the other end of the vertical spring is fixedly installed at the top of the mounting rod.

[0008] Preferably, the upper and lower end faces of the mounting beam are provided with through slots of the same size as the telescopic side plate, and the sliding groove is provided with a third groove of the same thickness as the telescopic side plate on the side walls corresponding to both ends of the telescopic side plate.

[0009] Preferably, the width of the sliding groove is the same as the width of the concave switch block, and the size of the loading hole is the same as the size of the concave switch block.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the horizontal spring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the groove of the concave switch block, and the other end of the horizontal spring is fixedly installed on the side wall of the T-shaped limit block.

[0011] Preferably, the concave switch block has a groove for fitting a finger at one end located on the outer side of the telescopic side plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] Traditional tea containers, with their fixed welded or one-piece structure, often allow tea leaves and debris to easily get stuck in the gaps between the side panel and the base. This necessitates repeated manual disassembly or bending over for cleaning, a cumbersome process that is difficult to thoroughly clean. Long-term use also increases the risk of mold growth, compromising the hygiene and safety of the tea. This new invention features a hinged, telescopic side panel design, enabling rapid sliding along a groove and a one-button flipping function. Combined with a T-shaped limit block and a concave switch block linkage mechanism within the loading hole, simply pressing the concave switch block releases the side panel lock, allowing it to retract completely and thoroughly remove any residue from the gaps, preventing bacterial growth and ensuring tea quality. Furthermore, the cleaning process requires no complex tools or repeated bending over; workers can operate upright, significantly reducing labor intensity, improving cleaning efficiency and operational comfort, and meeting the demands of modern tea factories for efficient and hygienic production.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this utility model should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0023] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1 to 4 The illustrated movable tea-receiving device with a hinged side panel includes: a rectangular support frame 1, with a set of casters 2 installed at each of the four corners of the bottom of the rectangular support frame 1; a mounting beam 4 installed at the top of the rectangular support frame 1, and a tea-receiving plate 6 installed in the middle of the mounting beam 4; telescopic side panels 5 are slidably inserted into the long side walls on both sides of the rectangular support frame 1; limit plates 7 are installed at both ends of the tea-receiving plate 6 along the long side of the rectangular support frame 1; and an adjustment component is provided on the rectangular support frame 1 to adjust the height of the telescopic side panels 5. Traditional tea-receiving containers, due to their fixed welding or one-piece structure, easily allow tea fragments and tea dust to get stuck in the gap between the side panel and the bottom plate, requiring repeated manual disassembly or bending over for cleaning, which is cumbersome and difficult to clean thoroughly. Long-term use can easily lead to mold growth, affecting the hygiene and safety of the tea. This invention utilizes a hinged telescopic side panel 5 design, enabling the side panel to slide quickly along the sliding groove 3 and flip with a single button. Combined with the linkage mechanism of the T-shaped limiting block 13 and the concave switch block 14 within the loading hole 12, simply pressing the concave switch block 14 releases the side panel lock, allowing it to be completely retracted. This thoroughly removes residue from crevices, preventing bacterial growth and ensuring tea quality. Simultaneously, the cleaning process requires no complex tools or repeated bending; workers can operate upright, significantly reducing labor intensity, improving cleaning efficiency and operational comfort, and meeting the demands of modern tea factories for efficient and hygienic production.

[0024] Furthermore, in this example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the adjustment assembly includes two sets of sliding grooves 3, which are respectively provided on the sidewalls of the rectangular support frame 1 and the mounting beam 4 along their long sides. A connecting rod 8 is installed on the upper part of the two sets of telescopic side plates 5, located below the mounting beam 4. A mounting rod 9 is installed vertically at the bottom of the rectangular support frame 1, corresponding to the position of the connecting rod 8. A vertical telescopic rod 10 is installed in the middle of the connecting rod 8 and the mounting rod 9, and a vertical spring 11 is sleeved on the vertical telescopic rod 10. A loading hole 12 is provided on the sidewall of the telescopic side plate 5, corresponding to the position of the sidewall of the limiting plate 7. A concave switch block 14 is slidably installed on the side of the loading hole 12 near the outer wall of the telescopic side plate 5, and mounting blocks 1 are installed on both sides of the loading hole 12 at the concave positions of the concave switch block 14. 7. A horizontal telescopic rod 15 is installed on the side wall of the mounting block 17 near the inner side of the loading hole 12. A T-shaped limiting block 13 is fixedly installed on the other end of the horizontal telescopic rod 15. The two ends of the T-shaped limiting block 13 slide in contact with the inner wall of the groove of the concave switch block 14, and the other end of the T-shaped limiting block 13 protrudes from the inner wall of the telescopic side plate 5. A horizontal spring 16 is sleeved on the horizontal telescopic rod 15. A first groove is opened on the side wall of the limiting plate 7 corresponding to the position of the T-shaped limiting block 13, and a second groove is opened on the inner wall of the bottom end of the sliding groove 3 corresponding to the position of the T-shaped limiting block 13. Through the linkage design of the T-shaped limiting block 13 and the concave switch block 14, the telescopic side plate 5 can be unlocked with one click, solving the problem of difficult cleaning of tea residue left in the gap between the side plate and the bottom plate of the traditional tea container. Under normal conditions, the telescopic side plate 5 is mechanically locked by the engagement of the T-shaped limiting block 13 and the first groove on the side wall of the limiting plate 7, ensuring that the side plate remains stable during the tea receiving process and preventing tea from spilling. When cleaning is required, the worker pulls the concave switch block 14 on the outer side of the telescopic side plate 5. The concave switch block 14 slides inward along the loading hole 12, compressing the horizontal spring 16 and pulling the T-shaped limit block 13 to retract horizontally, disengaging it from the first groove and releasing the side plate lock. At this time, the worker can easily pull the telescopic side plate 5 downward along the sliding groove 3, separating the telescopic side plate 5 from the tea receiving plate 6, facilitating the thorough removal of residual tea leaves and tea dust, preventing bacterial growth, and ensuring the hygiene and safety of the tea. After cleaning, the side plate is pushed out of the sliding groove 3, and the T-shaped limit block 13 automatically engages with the first groove under the action of the horizontal spring 16, restoring the locked state. The operation is simple and efficient.

[0025] Furthermore, in this example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, one end of the vertical spring 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting rod 8, and the other end of the vertical spring 11 is fixedly installed at the top of the mounting rod 9. The upper and lower end faces of the mounting beam 4 are provided with through slots of the same size as the telescopic side plate 5. The sliding groove 3 is provided with a third groove of the same thickness as the telescopic side plate 5 on the side walls corresponding to both ends of the telescopic side plate 5. The width of the sliding groove 3 is the same as the width of the concave switch block 14. The size of the loading hole 12 is the same as the size of the concave switch block 14. One end of the horizontal spring 16 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the groove of the concave switch block 14, and the other end of the horizontal spring 16 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the T-shaped limit block 13. The concave switch block 14 is provided with a groove for fitting fingers at the outer end of the telescopic side plate 5. Through the precise fit between the sliding groove 3 and the telescopic side plate 5, and the reliable design of the horizontal spring 16 and the T-shaped limit block 13, the structural stability and ease of operation of the device during the cleaning process are ensured. A third groove, the same thickness as the telescopic side plate 5, is formed on the side wall of the sliding groove 3 to ensure that the side plate slides vertically along the sliding groove 3 without shaking or jamming. Simultaneously, the through-hole size of the mounting beam 4 is the same as that of the telescopic side plate 5, preventing tea leaves from spilling from the gap between the side plate and the beam, thus improving tea-receiving efficiency. The width of the concave switch block 14 matches the width of the sliding groove 3, ensuring uniform force on the side plate when pressed, preventing deformation or damage caused by localized force. One end of the horizontal spring 16 is fixed to the inner wall of the groove in the concave switch block 14, and the other end is fixed to the side wall of the T-shaped limit block 13, ensuring that the T-shaped limit block 13 remains extended in its normal state and reliably engages with the first groove, preventing accidental unlocking of the side plate during tea reception. The mounting block 17 limits the sliding range of the T-shaped limit block 13, preventing excessive contraction or disengagement, ensuring the accuracy of locking and unlocking the side plate. Furthermore, the finger-fitting groove design on the outer side of the concave switch block 14 further enhances operational comfort and convenience, allowing workers to perform cleaning operations upright, significantly reducing labor intensity.
