Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea drying devices, and in particular to an automatic feeding fresh tea drying device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous expansion of the tea market and the increasing demands of consumers for tea quality, the drying of fresh tea leaves is a crucial step in tea processing. Its efficiency and quality directly affect the taste, aroma, and commercial value of the tea. In terms of drying efficiency, traditional drying equipment mostly uses natural sun-drying or simple fan drying methods. During the sun-drying process, the tea leaves need to be turned over manually at regular intervals to ensure the consistency of the dried tea quality. When the tea leaves are dried and need to be transferred to the next process, the traditional conveying method also requires manual collection of a large number of tea leaves and then using other tools to move them onto the conveyor belt. As a result, this process not only consumes a lot of manpower and time costs, but is also prone to tea leaf scattering and loss due to improper manual operation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide an automatic feeding fresh tea drying device, which solves the problems of slow drying speed and low production capacity of traditional drying methods, as well as the problems of fresh tea leaves being easy to pile up and overlap during the drying process, resulting in some tea leaves being over-dried and some tea leaves having too much residual moisture.

[0004] This utility model also provides a fresh tea drying device with the aforementioned automatic feeding mechanism, comprising: a fixed frame, the fixed frame being hollow in shape, a drying net fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed frame, a dryer fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the fixed frame, ventilation nets rotatably connected to the front and rear surfaces of the fixed frame, a fixed plate fixedly connected to the side of the fixed frame, a fixed block fixedly connected to the side of the fixed plate, and an electric push-pull rod fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed block. Two electric push-pull rods are symmetrically arranged, and a push-pull plate is fixedly connected to the output end of each electric push-pull rod. The push-pull plate is in contact with the upper surface of the drying net. This device forms a three-dimensional air circulation channel and a 360-degree surround drying environment, significantly shortening the drying time.

[0005] According to the present invention, an automatic feeding and air-drying device for fresh tea leaves includes a discharge plate fixedly connected to the other side of the fixed frame, and baffles (three) fixedly connected to both sides of the discharge plate. The baffles (three) prevent the tea leaves from scattering outside the device during transport.

[0006] According to the present invention, an automatic feeding and air-drying device for fresh tea leaves includes a baffle plate fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed frame, and a sliding groove formed on the front surface of the baffle plate. This groove is used to combine with a second baffle plate to form a rapidly moving structure.

[0007] According to the present invention, an automatic feeding and air-drying device for fresh tea leaves includes a baffle plate two fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed frame, and a sliding groove two is provided inside the baffle plate two for mounting a servo motor.

[0008] According to the present invention, an automatic feeding device for drying fresh tea leaves includes a servo motor slidably connected to the surface of the second slide groove via an electric slider. The output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to a rotating rod through the electric slider. This rod is used to fix the fixing ring and the flipping plate.

[0009] According to the present invention, an automatic feeding device for drying fresh tea leaves includes a rotating rod whose end is away from the second baffle plate and is slidably connected to a sliding groove via a slider. A fixing ring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod, and several flipping plates are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing ring. The flipping plates are made of soft silicone. This facilitates the dispersing and turning of the fresh tea leaves, and the soft material of the flipping plates prevents scratching the tea leaves during the turning process.

[0010] According to the present invention, an automatic feeding fresh tea drying device includes a first baffle located on the rear surface of a fixed frame, the length of which is the same as the length of a second baffle. This allows for better integration between the two, maximizing the operational efficiency of the tilting device.

[0011] According to the present invention, an automatic feeding fresh tea drying device is provided, wherein the discharge plate and the drying net are on the same horizontal plane. This facilitates faster feeding and smoother conveying of the dried tea leaves to the next process.

[0012] Beneficial effects:

[0013] This technical solution presents an automated feeding fresh tea drying device. The device utilizes a hollow fixed frame combined with a bottom dryer and front and rear ventilation nets to create a three-dimensional air circulation channel. When the dryer starts, hot air penetrates the tea leaves from bottom to top, while the front and rear ventilation nets promote air convection, forming a 360-degree surround drying environment. This significantly shortens the drying time. A servo motor drives a rotating rod and a turning plate to evenly turn the tea leaves at regular intervals during the drying process. The precise spacing between the turning plate and the drying net ensures that the tea leaves are fully exposed to the hot air environment while avoiding excessive compression that could damage them. Through the coordinated operation of an electric push-pull rod and a push-pull plate, the dried tea leaves are automatically pushed to the discharge plate, where they seamlessly connect to an external conveyor belt via a sloping surface. During the pushing process, the turning plate continuously agitates the tea leaves, achieving quantitative and orderly feeding, completely eliminating manual intervention, effectively reducing labor intensity, and improving production continuity.

There is a fixed plate 2, and a fixed block is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed plate 2 for connecting and fixing the electric push-pull rod 9, so that it maintains relative stability with the push-pull plate 10 during operation. The surface of the fixed block is fixedly connected to the electric push-pull rod 9 for pushing and pulling the push-pull plate 10. There are two electric push-pull rods 9 symmetrically arranged. The output end of the electric push-pull rod 9 is fixedly connected to the push-pull plate 10 for pushing the fresh tea leaves after air drying, so that the fresh tea leaves can be easily transferred to the next process. The ground of the push-pull plate 10 is in contact with the upper surface of the air drying net 6, so that no tea leaves are missed when pushing the tea leaves.

[0023] Specifically, a discharge plate 11 is fixedly connected to the other side of the fixed frame 1. Baffles 3 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the discharge plate 11 to prevent tea leaves from scattering outside the device when conveyed to the next process. A baffle 1 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed frame 1. A groove 1 31 is provided on the front surface of the baffle 1 3 for combining with a baffle 2 4, allowing the rotating rod 7 to move back and forth, thus turning the fresh tea leaves multiple times. A baffle 2 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed frame 1. A groove 2 41 is provided inside the baffle 2 4 for mounting a servo motor 5 and utilizing… The baffle 3, which combines the servo motor 5 and the electric slider, drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate. The surface of the slide groove 41 is slidably connected to the servo motor 5 via the electric slider. The output end of the servo motor 5 passes through the electric slider and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 7, which is used to fix the fixing ring and the flipping plate 8. The end of the rotating rod 7 away from the baffle 4 is slidably connected to the slide groove 31 via the slider. The outer surface of the rotating rod 7 is fixedly connected to the fixing ring, and several flipping plates 8 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing ring. The flipping plates 8 are made of soft silicone, which is used to facilitate the dispersing and turning of fresh tea leaves, and the soft material of the flipping plates 8 is used to avoid scratching the tea leaves during the turning process. The baffle 3 is located on the rear surface of the fixed frame 1.

The discharge plate 11 and the drying net 6 are on the same horizontal plane, which makes it easier and faster for the dried tea leaves to be transferred to the next process.

[0024] Working principle: When using this automatic feeding fresh tea drying device, the fresh tea leaves are laid flat on the surface of the drying net 6 and dried by the dryer 13 inside the fixed frame 1. After the fresh tea leaves have been dried for a period of time, the servo motor 5 drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate, which causes the flipping plate 8 set on the fixed ring to rotate. A suitable distance is set between the flipping plate 8 and the drying net 6 to facilitate the flipping of the fresh tea leaves when the flipping plate 8 rotates. At the same time, the electric slider drives the connected rotating rod 7 to move simultaneously in the first slide 31 and the second slide 4. 1. Moving internally: After the fresh tea leaves are dried, the rotating rod 7 and the flipping plate 8 are first moved to one end of the discharge plate 11 by the electric slider. Then, the electric push-pull rod 9 pushes the push-pull plate 10 toward the position of the discharge plate 11, so that the dried tea leaves on the drying net 6 are transferred to the external tea conveyor belt through the discharge plate 11 on the inclined surface. While the push-pull plate 10 pushes the tea leaves, the servo motor 5 drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate again, so that the rotation of the flipping plate 8 moves the tea leaves, so that the tea leaves can be quantitatively conveyed to the next process.

[0025] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
