Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing, and in particular to a tea kneading device with good shaping effect. Background Technology
[0002] Tea rolling is one of the core processes in tea making. With the increasing demand for large-scale and continuous tea processing, the structural design of traditional rolling equipment can no longer meet the requirements of dynamic production. In particular, the inability to add tea leaves in real time during the rolling process is a technical bottleneck that seriously restricts processing efficiency and quality stability.
[0003] Currently, mainstream mechanized kneading equipment (such as drum kneading machines and rotary kneading machines) generally adopts a design scheme of self-rotation of the drum and unidirectional feeding. Its working process is: one-time feeding → closing the drum → starting the rotation kneading → opening the lid to discharge the material after completion. It is very inconvenient to add tea leaves each time during the kneading process, and the lid needs to be opened frequently. Based on this, we propose a tea kneading device with good forming effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the technical problem of the inconvenience of frequently opening the lid to add tea leaves in traditional tea kneading machines, this utility model provides a tea kneading device with good forming effect.
[0005] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a tea kneading device with good forming effect, including a kneading mechanism and a driving mechanism. The kneading mechanism includes a support base, an installation block is installed on the top of the support base, one end of a receiving frame is fixedly connected to the outside of the installation block, and a kneading dish is installed on the other end of the receiving frame. The surface of the kneading dish is provided with kneading strips.
[0006] The top of the mounting block is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft. One end of a deflection rod is connected to the outside of the rotating shaft. The other end of the deflection rod is connected to a deflection shaft bracket. One end of a fixing bracket is installed on the outside of the deflection shaft bracket. The other end of the fixing bracket is fixedly connected to a kneading disc. The top of the kneading disc is connected to a drive mechanism.
[0007] The drive mechanism includes a mounting column, a mounting bracket fixedly connected to the outer side of the mounting column, a drive motor connected to the inner side of the mounting bracket, a drive rod connected to the output end of the drive motor, a drive disk connected to the bottom end of the drive rod, one end of a motion shaft connected to the lower surface of the drive disk, the motion shaft being connected to the edge of the drive disk; and a motion rod mounted on the other end of the motion shaft.
[0008] After the drive motor starts, it drives the drive disc to rotate through the drive rod. The motion shaft on the edge of the drive disc rotates accordingly, and the motion shaft further pushes the motion rod to move. The bottom end of the motion rod is fixedly connected to the edge of the kneading disc, transmitting power to the kneading disc and driving it to reciprocate.
[0009] The deflection shaft frame is divided into two layers. The lower deflection shaft frame in the lower layer is connected to the deflection rod, and the upper deflection shaft frame in the upper layer is connected to the fixed frame. The lower deflection shaft frame and the upper deflection shaft frame are rotatably connected.
[0010] The rotation of the kneading disc is transmitted to the deflection shaft frame through three sets of equidistant fixed frames. The deflection shaft frame consists of two layers: the lower deflection shaft frame is connected to the deflection rod, and the upper deflection shaft frame is connected to the fixed frame.
[0011] Under the rotation of the kneading disc, the deflection shaft rotates periodically, causing the deflection rod and the rotation axis to form a composite motion trajectory. This ultimately drives the kneading dish to perform a circular motion in three-dimensional space under the support of the receiving frame. The coordinated motion of the kneading disc and the kneading dish creates a dynamic pressure field, which evenly breaks down the cell walls of the tea leaves, allowing the tea juice to fully seep out and flow from the surface pores of the kneading dish. At the same time, the tea leaves naturally tighten in the gaps between the kneading strips, forming tightly bound strands and preventing excessive breakage.
[0012] As a further optimization of this utility model, the bottom end of the motion rod is fixedly connected to the edge of the kneading disc.
[0013] As a further optimization of this utility model, three sets of fixing frames are provided, and the three sets of fixing frames are installed at equal intervals on the outer side of the kneading disc to ensure the stability of the kneading disc.
[0014] As a further optimization of this utility model, through the three-dimensional elliptical trajectory motion of the kneading dish and the arc-shaped distribution design of the kneading strips, the tea leaves are always in a state of dynamic rolling and moderate compression during the kneading process, which significantly improves the compactness and integrity of the forming, while adapting to the kneading intensity requirements of different types of tea.
[0015] As a further optimization of this utility model, the surface of the kneading dish is provided with annularly distributed arc-shaped kneading strips, with gaps between adjacent kneading strips. When the kneading dish moves, the tea leaves roll along the inner wall of the kneading dish under the guidance of the arc-shaped surface of the kneading strips, while being subjected to intermittent compression and friction from the kneading strips.
[0016] As a further optimization of this utility model, the kneading strips are arc-shaped and distributed in a ring around the center of the kneading dish, with gaps between adjacent kneading strips; the surface of the kneading dish is provided with holes.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] 1. This utility model significantly improves power transmission efficiency through the linkage between the kneading disc and the kneading dish. Furthermore, the device can complete the kneading action without frequent start-stop or lid opening, supporting continuous feeding and discharging, greatly improving processing efficiency and meeting the needs of large-scale production.
[0019] 2. This invention utilizes the coordinated movement of the kneading disc and the kneading dish to create a three-dimensional elliptical trajectory, subjecting the tea leaves to multi-directional and uniform compression and friction during dynamic tumbling. Compared to traditional unidirectional kneading, this design significantly improves the uniformity of cell wall disruption in the tea leaves, promotes full extraction of tea juice, and avoids excessive localized crushing, ensuring tightly rolled and intact tea leaves and resulting in better tea shaping.
[0020] 3. This invention utilizes annularly distributed arc-shaped kneading strips on the surface of the kneading dish, with gaps between adjacent strips. During kneading, the tea leaves roll along the curved surface, experiencing intermittent compression and friction, which enhances the compactness of the tea leaves and reduces breakage. The gap design also provides channels for tea juice flow, and combined with the porous structure of the kneading dish surface, allows for rapid drainage of tea juice, preventing residue and uneven fermentation.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0026] Example 1:
[0027] Please combine Figures 1-2 This embodiment proposes a tea kneading device with good forming effect, including a kneading mechanism 1 and a driving mechanism 2. The kneading mechanism 1 includes a support base 11, an installation block 12 is installed on the top of the support base 11, one end of a receiving frame 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the installation block 12, and a kneading dish 14 is installed on the other end of the receiving frame 13. Kneading strips 15 are provided on the surface of the kneading dish 14.
[0028] Furthermore, the kneading strips 15 are arc-shaped and are distributed in a ring around the center of the kneading dish 14, with gaps between adjacent kneading strips 15; the surface of the kneading dish 14 is provided with holes.
[0029] The top of the mounting block 12 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 16. One end of a deflection rod 17 is connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 16. The other end of the deflection rod 17 is connected to a deflection shaft bracket 18. One end of a fixing bracket 19 is mounted on the outside of the deflection shaft bracket 18. The other end of the fixing bracket 19 is fixedly connected to a kneading disc 110. The top of the kneading disc 110 is connected to a drive mechanism 2.
[0030] Furthermore, the fixing frame 19 is provided in three sets, and the three sets of fixing frames 19 are installed at equal intervals on the outside of the kneading disc 110.
[0031] It should be noted that the deflection shaft frame 18 is divided into two layers. The lower deflection shaft frame 181 located on the lower layer is connected to the deflection rod 17, and the upper deflection shaft frame 182 located on the upper layer is connected to the fixing frame 19. The lower deflection shaft frame 181 and the upper deflection shaft frame 182 are rotatably connected.
[0032] The rotation of the kneading disc 110 is transmitted to the deflection shaft frame 18 through three sets of equidistantly distributed fixed frames 19. The deflection shaft frame 18 is divided into upper and lower layers. The lower deflection shaft frame 181 is connected to the deflection rod 17, and the upper deflection shaft frame 182 is connected to the fixed frame 19.
[0033] Specifically, under the rotation of the kneading disc 110, the deflection shaft 18 deflects periodically, causing the deflection rod 17 and the rotation axis 16 to form a compound motion trajectory, which ultimately drives the kneading dish 14 to perform a circular trajectory motion in three-dimensional space under the support of the receiving frame 13.
[0034] More specifically, the tea leaves to be kneaded are placed directly into the kneading dish 14. The surface of the kneading dish 14 is provided with annularly distributed arc-shaped kneading strips 15, with gaps between adjacent kneading strips 15. When the kneading dish 14 moves, the tea leaves are guided by the arc-shaped surfaces of the kneading strips 15 and roll along the inner wall of the kneading dish 14, while being subjected to intermittent compression and friction from the kneading strips 15.
[0035] The coordinated movement of the kneading disc 110 and the kneading dish 14 creates a dynamic pressure field, which evenly breaks down the cell walls of the tea leaves, allowing the tea juice to fully seep out and flow out from the surface holes of the kneading dish 14. At the same time, the tea leaves naturally tighten in the gaps of the kneading strips 15, forming tightly bound strips and avoiding excessive breakage.
[0036] In summary, through the three-dimensional elliptical trajectory motion of the kneading dish 14 and the arc-shaped distribution design of the kneading strips 15, the tea leaves are always in a state of dynamic tumbling and moderate compression during the kneading process, which significantly improves the compactness and integrity of the tea leaves, while also adapting to the kneading intensity requirements of different types of tea.
[0037] The drive mechanism 2 includes a mounting column 21, a mounting bracket 22 fixedly connected to the outer side of the mounting column 21, a drive motor 23 connected to the inner side of the mounting bracket 22, a drive rod 24 connected to the output end of the drive motor 23, a drive disk 25 connected to the bottom end of the drive rod 24, a motion shaft 26 connected to the lower surface of the drive disk 25, the motion shaft 26 being connected to the edge of the drive disk 25; and a motion rod 27 installed at the other end of the motion shaft 26.
[0038] It should be noted that the bottom end of the moving rod 27 is fixedly connected to the edge of the kneading disc 110.
[0039] Specifically, after the drive motor 23 starts, it drives the drive disc 25 to rotate through the drive rod 24. The motion shaft 26 on the edge of the drive disc 25 rotates accordingly, and the motion shaft 26 further pushes the motion rod 27 to move. The bottom end of the motion rod 27 is fixedly connected to the edge of the kneading disc 110, transmitting power to the kneading disc 110 and driving it to reciprocate.
[0040] Working principle:
[0041] This utility model tea kneading device achieves uniform kneading and efficient shaping of tea leaves through the linkage design of the drive mechanism 2 and the kneading mechanism 1. Its specific working principle is as follows:
[0042] After the drive motor 23 starts, it drives the drive disc 25 to rotate through the drive rod 24. The motion shaft 26 on the edge of the drive disc 25 rotates accordingly, and the motion shaft 26 further pushes the motion rod 27 to move. The bottom end of the motion rod 27 is fixedly connected to the edge of the kneading disc 110, transmitting power to the kneading disc 110 and driving it to reciprocate.
[0043] Kneading trajectory control
[0044] The rotation of the kneading disc 110 is transmitted to the deflection shaft frame 18 through three sets of equidistantly distributed fixed frames 19. The deflection shaft frame 18 is divided into upper and lower layers. The lower deflection shaft frame 181 is connected to the deflection rod 17, and the upper deflection shaft frame 182 is connected to the fixed frame 19.
[0045] Under the rotation of the kneading disc 110, the deflection shaft 18 deflects periodically, causing the deflection rod 17 and the rotation axis 16 to form a compound motion trajectory, which ultimately drives the kneading dish 14 to perform a circular trajectory motion in three-dimensional space under the support of the receiving frame 13.
[0046] The kneading action is achieved
[0047] The tea leaves to be kneaded are placed directly into the kneading dish 14. The surface of the kneading dish 14 is provided with annularly distributed arc-shaped kneading strips 15, with gaps between adjacent kneading strips 15. When the kneading disc 110 moves, the tea leaves are guided by the arc-shaped surfaces of the kneading strips 15 and roll along the inner wall of the kneading dish 14, while being subjected to intermittent compression and friction from the kneading strips 15.
[0048] The coordinated movement of the kneading disc 110 and the kneading dish 14 creates a dynamic pressure field, which evenly breaks down the cell walls of the tea leaves, allowing the tea juice to fully seep out and flow out from the surface holes of the kneading dish 14. At the same time, the tea leaves naturally tighten in the gaps of the kneading strips 15, forming tightly bound strips and avoiding excessive breakage.
[0049] Through the three-dimensional elliptical trajectory motion of the kneading dish 14 and the arc-shaped distribution design of the kneading strips 15, the tea leaves are always in a state of dynamic rolling and moderate compression during the kneading process, which significantly improves the compactness and integrity of the forming, while adapting to the kneading intensity requirements of different types of tea.

Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
