Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, and in particular to a device for uniformly feeding tea leaves. Background Technology
[0002] Tea processing refers to the process of transforming fresh tea leaves into tea products with specific color, aroma, taste, and shape through a series of physical, chemical, and biological treatments. The tea uniform feeding device is a key auxiliary equipment in the tea processing production line. It is mainly used to control the conveying speed and uniformity of tea materials between each process. Its function runs through the entire processing process and is deeply linked to the processing technology, product quality, and production efficiency.
[0003] The current tea feeding device relies entirely on the operator's strength and frequency during operation to feed tea leaves. This not only makes it difficult to accurately control the amount of tea leaves fed, but also easily leads to a decrease in the uniformity of feeding, thus affecting the overall feeding effect. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the speed and amount of tea feeding in the existing technology cannot be controlled, which will reduce the feeding effect. To this end, we propose a tea feeding device that can uniformly feed tea.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a tea uniform feeding device, comprising a hopper, a feeding pipe installed at the bottom of the hopper, support frames installed on both sides of the feeding pipe, a vibration component installed at the rear end of the feeding pipe, an adjustment port opened at the front end of the feeding pipe, a flow limiting plate slidably connected inside the adjustment port, a fixing frame fixedly connected to the front end of the feeding pipe, a fixing block fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixing frame, an adjustment rod slidably connected inside the fixing block, a handle fixedly connected to the end of the adjustment rod away from the feeding pipe, and a flow limiting plate fixedly connected to the end of the adjustment rod near the feeding pipe. Multiple limiting grooves are opened on both sides of the adjustment rod, sliding grooves are opened on both sides of the fixing block, a sliding rod slidably connected inside the sliding groove, a push-pull plate fixedly connected to the side of the sliding rod away from the fixing block, and a spring spring sleeved on the surface of the sliding rod. The two sides of the spring spring are fixedly connected to the fixing block and the push-pull plate, respectively.
[0006] Preferably, the top and bottom of the fixed block are provided with first sliding grooves, and the top and bottom of the adjusting rod are fixedly connected with first sliders, and the inside of the first sliding groove is slidably connected to the first sliders.
[0007] Preferably, two energy storage springs are fixedly connected to the end of the handle near the fixing block, and the end of the energy storage spring away from the handle is fixedly connected to the fixing block.
[0008] Preferably, a second sliding groove is provided at both the front and rear ends of the sliding groove, and a second slider is fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the sliding rod, with the interior of the second sliding groove slidably connected to the second slider.
[0009] Preferably, the end of the sliding rod has a bevel.
[0010] Preferably, the hopper is equipped with a plurality of first and second feeding rods, which are arranged in an alternating pattern.
[0011] Preferably, the surface of the flow restrictor is coated with an epoxy resin coating.
[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] In this invention, when the operator needs to adjust the tea feeding speed, the push-pull plate is pulled outward, causing the sliding rod to be pulled out from the inside of the limiting groove, thus releasing the fixing of the adjusting rod. At this time, the adjusting rod is moved, causing the flow limiting plate to move to a suitable position for tea feeding. Then, the sliding rod is aligned with the limiting groove, and the elastic force of the spring is released, causing the sliding rod to be inserted into the limiting groove, thereby achieving convenient fixing of the flow limiting plate after adjustment. By setting a flow limiting plate that can be easily adjusted and fixed inside the feeding pipe, the feeding speed and amount of tea can be effectively controlled, thereby making the feeding device have better uniformity when feeding tea and significantly improving the tea feeding effect.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.
[0021] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a tea uniform feeding device, including a hopper 1, a feeding pipe 2 installed at the bottom of the hopper 1, support frames 3 installed on both sides of the feeding pipe 2, a vibration component 4 installed at the rear end of the feeding pipe 2, an adjustment port 5 opened at the front end of the feeding pipe 2, a flow limiting plate 6 slidably connected inside the adjustment port 5, a fixing frame 7 fixedly connected to the front end of the feeding pipe 2, a fixing block 8 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixing frame 7, an adjustment rod 9 slidably connected inside the fixing block 8, a handle 10 fixedly connected to the end of the adjustment rod 9 away from the feeding pipe 2, and a flow limiting plate 6 fixedly connected to the end of the adjustment rod 9 near the feeding pipe 2. Multiple limiting grooves 11 are opened on both sides of the adjustment rod 9, sliding grooves 12 are opened on both sides of the fixing block 8, a sliding rod 13 slidably connected inside the sliding groove 12, and a push rod 13 fixedly connected to the side of the sliding rod 13 away from the fixing block 8. A spring spring 15 is fitted on the surface of the pull plate 14 and the sliding rod 13. The two sides of the spring spring 15 are fixedly connected to the fixed block 8 and the push-pull plate 14, respectively. When the operator needs to adjust the tea feeding speed, the push-pull plate 14 is pulled outward to pull the sliding rod 13 out of the limiting groove 11, so that the adjusting rod 9 is released from fixation. At this time, the adjusting rod 9 is moved to move the flow limiting plate 6 to a suitable position for tea feeding. Then the sliding rod 13 is aligned with the limiting groove 11. At this time, the elastic force of the spring spring 15 is released, which causes the sliding rod 13 to be inserted into the limiting groove 11, thereby achieving convenient fixation of the flow limiting plate 6 after adjustment. By setting a flow limiting plate 6 that can be easily adjusted and fixed inside the feeding pipe 2, the feeding speed and amount of tea can be effectively controlled, thereby making the feeding device have better uniformity when feeding tea and significantly improving the feeding effect of tea.
[0022] Reference Figure 4As shown in this embodiment: the top and bottom of the fixed block 8 are provided with first sliding grooves 16, and the top and bottom of the adjusting rod 9 are fixedly connected with first sliders 17. The interior of the first sliding groove 16 is slidably connected to the first slider 17. Through the setting of the first sliding groove 16 and the first slider 17, the adjusting rod 9 can form a stable guiding effect when driving the flow limiting plate 6 to move, so that the flow limiting plate 6 will not deviate, effectively improving the accuracy of the flow limiting plate 6 in controlling the amount of tea.
[0023] Reference Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: two energy storage springs 18 are fixedly connected to one end of the handle 10 near the fixing block 8, and the other end of the energy storage spring 18 away from the handle 10 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 8. By setting the energy storage spring 18, when the current limiting plate 6 is used up, the adjusting rod 9 is released, and the elastic force stored in the energy storage spring 18 is released, so that the current limiting plate 6 can spring back to the initial adjustment position, thereby achieving convenient reset of the current limiting plate 6 after use.
[0024] Reference Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: the front end and the rear end of the sliding groove 12 are both provided with second sliding grooves 19, and the front end and the rear end of the sliding rod 13 are both fixedly connected with second sliders 20. The interior of the second sliding groove 19 is slidably connected with the second sliders 20. Through the setting of the second sliding groove 19 and the second sliders 20, the sliding rod 13 can form a stable guiding effect when sliding inside the sliding groove 12, so that the sliding rod 13 will not move excessively, thereby ensuring the effective fixation of the adjusting rod 9 after adjustment.
[0025] Reference Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: the end of the sliding rod 13 is provided with an inclined surface 21. With the setting of the inclined surface 21, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the flow limiting plate 6, it is only necessary to push the adjusting rod 9 to one end to make the sliding rod 13 slide out from the inside of the limiting groove 11, thereby achieving convenient release of the limit when the flow limiting plate 6 needs to be adjusted, and further improving the operating efficiency.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment: several first feeding rods 22 and second feeding rods 23 are installed inside the hopper 1. The first feeding rods 22 and second feeding rods 23 are staggered. By installing several first feeding rods 22 and second feeding rods 23 inside the hopper 1, when tea leaves fall into the hopper 1, they will collide with the first feeding rods 22 and second feeding rods 23. Frequent collisions will break up the clumps of tea leaves, thereby effectively preventing the material from adhering to the inner wall of the hopper 1.
[0027] Reference Figure 3As shown in this embodiment, the surface of the flow restrictor 6 is coated with an epoxy resin coating. By coating the surface of the flow restrictor 6 with an epoxy resin coating, the flow restrictor 6 can have higher wear resistance, corrosion resistance and anti-aging properties, thereby extending its service life and preventing tea leaves from sticking to its surface, effectively improving the feeding effect.
[0028] Working principle: When the operator needs to adjust the tea feeding speed, the push-pull plate 14 is pulled outward, causing the sliding rod 13 to be pulled out from the inside of the limiting groove 11, thus releasing the fixing of the adjusting rod 9. At this time, the adjusting rod 9 is moved, causing the flow limiting plate 6 to move to a suitable position for tea feeding. Then, the sliding rod 13 is aligned with the limiting groove 11. At this time, the elastic force of the spring spring 15 is released, causing the sliding rod 13 to be inserted into the limiting groove 11, thereby achieving convenient fixing of the flow limiting plate 6 after adjustment. By setting a flow limiting plate 6 inside the feeding pipe 2 that can be easily adjusted and fixed, the tea feeding speed can be adjusted. The feeding amount is effectively controlled, resulting in better uniformity when feeding tea leaves, significantly improving the feeding effect. The first chute 16 and the first slider 17 ensure stable guidance as the adjusting rod 9 moves the flow-limiting plate 6, preventing it from shifting and effectively improving the accuracy of the flow-limiting plate 6 in controlling the tea leaf quantity. The energy storage spring 18 releases the stored elasticity when the flow-limiting plate 6 is used, allowing the flow-limiting plate 6 to move freely. The spring returns to the initial adjustment position, thus achieving convenient reset of the flow restrictor 6 after use. The second slide groove 19 and the second slider 20 provide a stable guide for the sliding rod 13 as it slides within the slide groove 12, preventing excessive movement and ensuring effective fixation of the adjusting rod 9 after adjustment. The inclined surface 21 allows for easy release of the flow restrictor 6 when adjustment is needed; simply push the adjusting rod 9 to one end to allow the sliding rod 13 to slide out of the limiting groove 11. Limiting the flow and further improving operational efficiency: By installing several first feeding rods 22 and second feeding rods 23 inside the hopper 1, when tea leaves fall into the hopper 1, they will collide with the first feeding rods 22 and second feeding rods 23. Frequent collisions will break up any clumps of tea leaves, thus effectively preventing the material from adhering to the inner wall of the hopper 1. By coating the surface of the flow limiting plate 6 with an epoxy resin coating, the flow limiting plate 6 can have higher wear resistance, corrosion resistance and aging resistance, thereby extending its service life and preventing tea leaves from sticking to its surface, effectively improving the feeding effect.
