Detailed Implementation

[0019] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0020] according to Figure 1-3This utility model provides a feeding machine for tea processing, characterized in that it includes: a conveyor belt 1, a lifting structure 2, and a sweeping structure 3.

[0021] There are two conveyor belts 1; the lifting structure 2 is set between the two conveyor belts 1; the lifting structure 2 includes: a feed plate 21, a lifting chamber 22, a discharge plate 23, and a lifting plate 24; the lifting chamber 22 has a feed inlet 221 on one side and a discharge outlet 222 on the other side; one end of the feed plate 21 is located below one of the conveyor belts 1, and the other end is connected to the feed inlet 221; one end of the discharge plate 23 is connected to the discharge outlet 222, and the other end is located above the other conveyor belt 1; the lifting plate 24 is set inside the lifting chamber 22; the lifting chamber 22 is equipped with a cylinder that can drive the lifting plate 24 to rise and fall.

[0022] When tea needs to be transported, firstly, the conveyor belt 1 is started, and the tea is sent to one of the conveyor belts 1, so that the tea moves along the conveyor belt 1 towards the feed plate 21. When the tea reaches the end, it will fall onto the feed plate 21, and then be sent from the feed plate 21 to the feed inlet 221, so that the tea moves to the lifting plate 24. Then, the cylinder in the lifting chamber 22 is started, so that the lifting plate 24 is driven to rise, so that the tea is lifted. When the lifting plate 24 is raised to the discharge outlet 222, the tea is sent from the discharge outlet 222 to the discharge plate 23, and then falls along the discharge plate 23 onto the other conveyor belt 1, so that the tea continues to be transported. In this way, the tea can be transported on two horizontal conveyor belts 1, avoiding the problem of the tea slipping due to excessive inclination.

[0023] The feed plate 21 slopes downwards from the side away from the feed inlet 221 to the other side; the discharge plate 23 slopes downwards from the side near the discharge inlet 222 to the other side. The lifting plate 24 includes a support plate 241, which slopes downwards from the side near the feed plate 21 to the other side. The lifting structure 2 also includes a support plate 25, which is located on the side of the feed inlet 221 away from the feed plate 21; a baffle 242 is provided on the side of the support plate 241 near the feed inlet 221; the side of the support plate 25 near the lifting plate 24 can be abutted against the side wall of the baffle 242. The lifting plate 24 also includes a leak-proof plate 243, which is located on the side of the support plate 241 near the discharge inlet 222.

[0024] By tilting the feed plate 21 downwards from the side away from the feed inlet 221 to the other side, the discharge plate 23 downwards from the side near the discharge inlet 222 to the other side, and the support plate 241 downwards from the side near the feed plate 21 to the other side, the tea leaves can be moved more easily, thus facilitating the transport of the tea leaves. A baffle 242 is provided on the side of the lifting plate 24 near the feed inlet 221. When the lifting plate 24 is lifted, the baffle 242 will block the feed inlet 221, making it difficult for tea leaves to enter the lifting chamber 22. This prevents the tea leaves from falling below the lifting plate 24 after it rises. A support plate 25 is provided on the side of the feed inlet 221 near the lifting plate 24. When the lifting plate 24 rises, the side wall of the baffle 242 will be in contact with the side of the support plate 25 and rise together. This ensures that the baffle 242 is always at a certain distance from the side wall of the lifting chamber 22 when it rises, preventing the tea leaves from being squeezed between the baffle 242 and the side wall of the lifting chamber 22 and damaged. This ensures the quality of the tea leaves during transportation. Meanwhile, a leak-proof plate 243 is provided on the side of the lifting plate 24 near the discharge port 222 to prevent tea leaves from falling below the lifting plate 24 due to external forces such as wind when they slide from the lifting plate 24 to the discharge plate 23, thus avoiding waste.

[0025] The sweeping structure 3 is located on the side of the discharge port 222 away from the discharge plate 23; the sweeping structure 3 is inclined downward from the side near the discharge port 222 to the other side; the sweeping structure 3 includes: a support plate 31 and a telescopic plate 32; the support plate 31 has a telescopic opening 311; the telescopic plate 32 can extend and retract within the telescopic opening 311. The telescopic plate 32 includes: bristles 321 and rollers 322; the bristles 321 are located below the telescopic plate 32; the rollers 322 are rotatably located at the end of the telescopic plate 32 away from the support plate 31.

[0026] As the tea leaves fall along the lifting plate 24, some may be difficult to fall. To address this, the present invention provides a sweeping structure 3, located at the discharge port 222. When the lifting plate 24 rises to the sweeping structure 3, the tea leaves will slide to the discharge port 222. As it continues to rise, some tea leaves that are difficult to fall will come into contact with the brush bristles 321. As the lifting plate 24 continues to rise, it will come into contact with the support plate 32. The telescopic plate 32 can extend and retract within the telescopic opening 311, increasing its height. The sweeping structure 3... The telescopic plate 32 tilts downwards from one side near the discharge port 222 to the other side, causing it to move to the right, which in turn moves the tea leaves to the right, thus preventing them from continuing to adhere to the lifting plate 24. A roller 322 is also provided at the bottom of the telescopic plate 32 so that the roller 322 of the telescopic plate 32 will contact the lifting plate 24. In this way, when the telescopic plate 32 is moved by the lifting plate 24, the friction between the telescopic plate 32 and the lifting plate 24 is small, thereby reducing the wear and tear on each structure and extending its service life.

[0027] In summary, this utility model, by setting a lifting structure between two conveyor belts, allows tea leaves to be transported from one conveyor belt to the lifting structure. The lifting structure allows the tea leaves to rise and then be transported to the other conveyor belt, so that even if the conveyor belts are horizontal, the tea leaves can still be transported, avoiding the problem of the tea leaves slipping due to excessive inclination.

[0028] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
