A tea leaf beveling machine

Abstract

This utility model provides a tea beveling machine, relating to the field of tea processing equipment. It includes a frame, a conveyor belt mounted on the frame, and a feeding hopper positioned above the conveyor belt. Multiple equally spaced shaping plates are arranged between the conveyor belt and the feeding hopper. These shaping plates are positioned along the direction of the conveyor belt's movement, forming a shaping channel between two adjacent plates. A cutting assembly is located at the outlet of the shaping channel. A first driving mechanism is mounted on the frame to drive the cutting assembly to reciprocate up and down. This tea beveling machine, through the arrangement of the shaping plates, can form multiple shaping channels on the conveyor belt. When tea leaves fall from the feeding hopper, they fall into these channels. During the conveyor belt's transport of the tea leaves, they form a neat strip along the shaping channel before being cut by the cutting assembly. This ensures a more uniform appearance of the tea leaves after cutting, thereby improving their quality.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] This utility model provides a tea slicing machine. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This tea slant cutting machine, through the setting of the shaping plate, can form multiple shaping channels on the conveyor belt, so that when the tea leaves fall from the feed hopper, they will fall into the shaping channels. During the process of the tea leaves being transported by the conveyor belt, the tea leaves will form a neat line along the shaping channels, and then pass through the cutting component to cut the tea, ensuring that the appearance of the tea leaves is more neat after cutting, thereby improving the appearance quality.

[0017] 2. This tea slicing machine, through the setting of the second drive mechanism, enables the shaping channel to move back and forth during the conveyor belt transportation process. The tea leaves in each shaping channel are pushed by the shaping plates on both sides of the shaping channel and concentrated in the middle of the shaping channel, making the tea leaves in the shaping channel more uniform and improving the shaping effect of the tea leaves.

[0018] 3. This tea slicing machine, with its angled cutting blades, each corresponding to a shaping channel, not only allows each blade to individually slice the tea leaves within its respective channel, ensuring a good slicing effect, but also makes the sliced ​​tea leaves more elongated, resulting in a better appearance. This not only improves the appearance quality of the tea, but also makes the elongated and neat tea leaves more conducive to subsequent processing, thus increasing production efficiency.

[0019] 4. The first drive mechanism motor of this tea slicing machine is equipped with stepless speed and frequency conversion, which can easily adjust the cutting frequency of the cutting blade assembly according to different tea varieties. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0026] This utility model embodiment provides a tea slicing machine, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the system includes a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 mounted on the frame 1, and a feed hopper 4 mounted above the conveyor belt 2. Multiple equally spaced shaping plates 7 are arranged between the conveyor belt 2 and the feed hopper 4. The shaping plates 7 are arranged along the movement direction of the conveyor belt 2, so that a shaping channel is formed between two adjacent shaping plates 7. A cutting assembly is provided at the outlet of the shaping channel. A first drive mechanism 5 is provided on the frame 1 to drive the cutting assembly to reciprocate up and down.

[0027] By setting the shaping plate 7, multiple shaping channels can be formed on the conveyor belt 2, so that when the tea leaves fall from the feed hopper 4, they will fall into the shaping channels. During the process of conveying the tea leaves on the conveyor belt 2, the tea leaves will form a neat line along the shaping channels, and then be cut by the cutting component, which ensures that the appearance of the tea leaves is more neat after cutting, thereby improving the appearance quality.

[0028] The motor of the first drive mechanism 5 is set to continuously variable speed and frequency conversion, which can easily adjust the cutting frequency of the cutting blade assembly according to different tea varieties.

[0029] The cutting assembly includes a crossbeam 9 and a cutting body 8. The crossbeam 9 is connected to the first drive mechanism 5, and the bottom of the crossbeam 9 is fixedly connected to the cutting body 8. The number of cutting bodies 8 is the same as the number of shaping channels, and each cutting body 8 corresponds to a shaping channel.

[0030] With the obliquely arranged cutter body 8, and each cutter body 8 corresponding to a shaping channel, not only can each cutter body 8 cut the tea leaves in each shaping channel individually, ensuring the cutting effect, but the oblique cutter body 8 can also make the cut tea leaves more slender, resulting in a better appearance. This not only improves the appearance quality of the tea leaves, but also makes the slender and neat tea leaves more conducive to subsequent processing, thus improving subsequent production efficiency.

[0031] The length direction of the cutter body 8 is intersected with the movement direction of the conveyor belt 2, and the intersection angle is greater than 30 degrees and less than 60 degrees.

[0032] The frame 1 is equipped with a second drive mechanism 6 for driving the shaping plate 7 to reciprocate left and right, so that the tea leaves in the shaping channel are concentrated in the middle of the shaping channel.

[0033] By setting the second drive mechanism 6, the shaping channel can move back and forth between left and right during the transportation of the conveyor belt 2. The tea leaves in each shaping channel are pushed by the shaping plates 7 on both sides of the shaping channel and concentrated in the middle of the shaping channel, making the tea leaves in the shaping channel more neat and improving the shaping effect of the tea leaves.

[0034] A horizontally arranged slide bar 10 is provided above the shaping plate 7. The two ends of the slide bar 10 are fixedly connected to the frame 1. A sliding frame 11 is slidably fitted on the slide bar 10 and is fixedly connected to the shaping plate 7.

[0035] A discharge plate 3 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the discharge plate 3 is located below the conveyor belt 2.

[0036] Working principle: By setting the shaping plate 7, multiple shaping channels can be formed on the conveyor belt 2, so that when the tea leaves fall from the feed hopper 4, they will fall into the shaping channels. During the process of conveying the tea leaves on the conveyor belt 2, the tea leaves will form a neat line along the shaping channels, and then be cut by the cutting component, which ensures that the appearance of the tea leaves is more neat after cutting, thereby improving the appearance quality.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
