Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea processing equipment, and in particular to a tea leaf straightening machine. Background Technology

[0002] Tea leaf shaping machine is a specialized piece of equipment used for the initial processing of strip-shaped teas such as green tea and yellow tea. It uses a temperature-controlled heating plate in conjunction with a reciprocating and rotating shaping trough to utilize high-temperature fixation and kneading to shape the tea leaves, making them tight, straight, and uniform, fixing their aroma and color, and improving the appearance and quality of the tea.

[0003] In existing technology, tea leaf shaping machines use a heating device to heat the trough. The tea leaves are pushed by reciprocating or rotating motion in the inclined shaping trough. The high temperature kills the enzyme activity, while the friction and squeezing action of the trough wall kneads and shapes the leaves, making the tea leaves tight and straight, and evaporating moisture, thus achieving shaping and quality improvement.

[0004] However, in the existing technology, some tea sorting machines will experience tea leaf accumulation during use, which will prevent the tea leaves from being fed evenly and thus affect the subsequent sorting process. Therefore, a new tea sorting machine is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The outer front side of the tea-forming support frame 41 is fixedly connected to the outer rear side of multiple L-shaped brackets 22, thereby connecting the tea-forming assembly 4 with the conveying assembly 2. An operating machine 42 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the tea-forming support frame 41. The operating machine 42 provides vibration power to the tea-forming pot 44. A vibration column 43 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the operating machine 42, which transmits the vibration of the operating machine 42. The tea-forming pot 44 is fixedly connected to the outer left side of the vibration column 43. The tea-forming pot 44 is used to carry tea leaves for tea-forming. The bottom of the tea-forming pot 44 is slidably connected to the top of the tea-forming support frame 41, thereby realizing the vibration sliding of the tea-forming pot 44. Multiple tea-forming grooves 45 are provided inside the tea-forming pot 44, which are used to shape and form the tea leaves.

[0028] Working principle: After the tea leaves are fed into the vibrating feed plate 113 via the conveyor belt 25, the dual-axis motor 11 drives the rotating shafts 12 at both ends to rotate the semi-circular eccentric blocks 13 at high speed, generating centrifugal excitation force. The excitation force is transmitted to the vertical sliding column 15 through the vibrating block 14 fixed to the outside of the dual-axis motor 11. The upper and lower ends of the vibrating block 14 are elastically connected to the U-shaped fixed plate 111 and the horizontal mounting plate 112 respectively through the vertical spring 16, forming a vertical buffer. At the same time, the horizontal spring 18 and the horizontal sliding column 110 absorb the horizontal vibration energy under the constraint of the fixed plate a19, avoiding rigid impact. The transmission block 115 at the top of the vibrating block 14 transmits the composite vibration to the vibrating feed plate 113, causing the distribution partition 114 on it to vibrate at high frequency and small amplitude. The tea leaves are evenly dispersed under the action of vibration and the blocking effect of the distribution partition 114, and slide down the inclined vibrating feed plate 113 to the strip sorting assembly 4.

[0029] Tea leaves fall onto conveyor belt 25, where motor a23, fixed to conveyor belt support frame 21, drives drive column a24, causing conveyor belt 25 to be conveyed at a uniform speed towards the tea-forming assembly 4. The tea leaves enter the rotating distributing roller assembly 3, where motor b32 on the right drives drive column b33, causing distributing roller a34 to rotate at high speed. The teeth 35 on its surface disperse the tea leaves and guide them evenly to the vibrating feed plate 113. After passing through the vibrating feed plate 113, the tea leaves fall into the tea-forming pot 44 into independent cavities separated by multiple tea-forming grooves 45, and are fixed to the tea-forming support. The operating machine 42 on the right side of the frame 41 drives the vibrating column 43, which in turn drives the shaping pot 44 to slide and vibrate at high frequency on the top of the shaping support frame 41, causing the tea leaves to tumble, rub, and stretch repeatedly in the trough, forming tight and straight strips. The shaping support frame 41 is fixed to the ground by the L-shaped bracket 22 to ensure vibration stability. The conveying component 2 and the shaping component 4 are rigidly connected by the inclined support plate 17 and the conveyor belt support frame 21 to form a continuous processing closed loop. The shaped tea leaves automatically slide out from the end of the shaping trough 45 and enter the subsequent drying or packaging process.

[0030] 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.
