Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea production technology, specifically a tea processing device that avoids damage to tea leaves. Background Technology

[0002] Tea, commonly known as tea, generally includes the leaves and buds of the tea plant. Tea contains catechins, cholesterol, caffeine, inositol, folic acid, and pantothenic acid, all beneficial to health. Tea beverages are one of the world's three major beverages. Originating in China, tea was initially used as a sacrificial offering. However, from the late Spring and Autumn Period, it was consumed as a food, developed medicinal uses in the mid-Western Han Dynasty, and became a high-class beverage in the imperial court in the late Western Han Dynasty. Its widespread use as a common beverage among the common people only began after the Western Jin Dynasty. Tea processing requires washing. Currently, tea washing machines use agitation methods, with an agitator shaft driving agitator blades for washing. However, the impact of the agitator blades on the tea leaves can damage them, resulting in a low percentage of intact leaves and reduced tea quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a tea processing device that avoids damage to tea leaves, thereby solving the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a tea processing device to avoid damage to tea leaves, including a washing cylinder, a mounting base provided below the washing cylinder, the washing cylinder being rotatably mounted on the mounting base, the rotation axis of the washing cylinder being horizontally set, springs being connected to the bottom of both ends of the washing cylinder, the end of the spring away from the washing cylinder being connected to the mounting base, a winding mechanism being provided on the mounting base, the winding mechanism including a winding seat and a winding disc, the winding seat being fixedly connected to the mounting base, the winding disc being rotatably mounted on the winding seat, a pull wire being wound on the winding disc, and the pull wire being connected to the washing cylinder.

[0005] Furthermore, the winding mechanism also includes a rack and a gear. The winding disc is rotatably connected to the winding seat via a main shaft. The gear is mounted on the main shaft. The rack meshes with the gear and has a degree of freedom to move in the horizontal direction.

[0006] Furthermore, the winding mechanism also includes a cylinder, the cylinder body of which is fixed on the mounting base, and the telescopic shaft of the cylinder is connected to the rack.

[0007] Furthermore, a feed pipe is connected to the top of one end of the cleaning cylinder, and an electromagnetic valve is installed on the feed pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, a discharge port is provided at one end of the cleaning cylinder, and a cylinder cover is provided at the discharge port of the cleaning cylinder. One side of the cylinder cover is hinged to the cleaning cylinder by a hinge, and the other end of the cylinder cover is connected to the cleaning cylinder by a buckle.

[0012] Furthermore, a water inlet pipe is connected to the cleaning cylinder.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] The winding reel pulls the wire, causing the cleaning drum to deflect. This deflection stretches one spring and compresses the other. After the wire winding stops, the cleaning drum vibrates under the reaction force of the springs. This process repeats, allowing the cleaning drum to enhance the movement of the tea leaves inside through vibration. This eliminates the need for a traditional stirring mechanism, greatly reducing the damage rate to the tea leaves during the cleaning process and improving the cleaning effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] Example 1

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a tea processing device for preventing damage to tea leaves includes a washing cylinder 1, with a mounting base 2 located below the washing cylinder 1. The washing cylinder 1 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 2, and its rotation axis is horizontal. Springs 3 are connected to the bottom of both ends of the washing cylinder 1. The ends of the springs 3 furthest from the washing cylinder 1 are connected to the mounting base 2. A winding mechanism is mounted on the mounting base 2, including a winding seat 4 and a winding reel 5. The winding seat 4 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 2, and the winding reel 5 is rotatably mounted on the winding seat 4. A pull wire 6 is wound on the winding reel 5 and connected to the washing cylinder 1. A feed pipe 11 is connected to the top of one end of the washing cylinder 1, and a solenoid valve is mounted on the feed pipe 11. The washing cylinder 1 is connected to a water inlet pipe 18. The valve on the feed pipe 11 is opened, and the tea leaves to be washed are put into the washing cylinder 1 through the feed pipe 11. At the same time, clean water is injected into the washing cylinder 1 through the water inlet pipe 18, and then the washing operation is carried out. During washing, the winding reel 5 winds the pull wire, which causes the washing cylinder 1 to deflect. The deflection of the washing cylinder 1 will cause one of the springs 3 at both ends to stretch and the other to compress. After the winding of the pull wire stops, the washing cylinder 1 will deflect back and forth under the reaction force of the spring 3, generating vibration. The above process is repeated, so that the washing cylinder 1 strengthens the movement of the tea leaves inside through vibration. The traditional stirring mechanism is eliminated, which greatly reduces the damage rate of the tea leaves during the washing process and improves the washing effect of the tea leaves.

[0020] Example 2

[0021] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, a discharge port 12 is provided at one end of the washing cylinder 1. A cylinder cover 13 is provided at the discharge port 12 of the washing cylinder 1. One side of the cylinder cover 13 is hinged to the washing cylinder 1 by a hinge, and the other end of the cylinder cover 13 is connected to the washing cylinder 1 by a buckle. A drain pipe 14 is connected to the bottom of the washing cylinder 1 near the cylinder cover 13. A filter screen is provided at the end of the drain pipe 14 near the washing cylinder 1. A valve is provided on the drain pipe 14. After washing, the valve on the drain pipe is opened first to drain the water in the washing cylinder 1 through the drain pipe 14. The filter screen prevents the tea leaves from being discharged through the drain pipe 14. Then the cylinder cover 13 is opened, and the worker takes out the tea leaves in the washing cylinder 1 through the discharge port 12. To facilitate the removal of the tea leaves, the washing cylinder 1 is deflected by the pull line 6 so that the end of the washing cylinder 1 with the cylinder cover 13 is facing down for washing, so that the tea leaves can move towards the discharge port 12 and be easily removed.

[0022] Example 3

[0023] Based on Embodiment 2, a scraping mechanism is provided at the end of the washing cylinder 1 away from the cylinder cover 13. The scraping mechanism includes a scraping ring 15, which has the freedom to move along the axial direction of the washing cylinder 1. A push cylinder 16 is installed on the top of the washing cylinder 1. A push rod 17 is connected to the end of the scraping ring 15 away from the cylinder cover 13. The push rod 17 extends through the telescopic shaft of the washing cylinder 1 and is connected to the push cylinder 16. By pushing the cylinder 16, the scraping ring 15 is driven to move closer to the cylinder cover 13, so that the scraping ring 15 scrapes the tea leaves attached to the inner wall of the washing cylinder 1, which can greatly avoid the waste of tea leaves.

[0024] Example 4

[0025] Based on Example 3, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the winding mechanism also includes a rack 7 and a gear 8. The winding disc 5 is rotatably connected to the winding seat 4 via a main shaft 9. The gear 8 is mounted on the main shaft 9. The rack 7 meshes with the gear 8, and the rack 7 has a degree of freedom to move in the horizontal direction. The winding mechanism also includes a cylinder 10. The cylinder body of the cylinder 10 is fixed on the mounting base 2. The telescopic shaft of the cylinder 10 is connected to the rack 7. The rack 7 moves by the cylinder 10, first moving the rack 7 to drive the gear 8 to rotate, so that the gear 8 drives the winding disc 5 to wind the pull wire 6 via the main shaft 9, causing the cleaning cylinder 1 to deflect until the rack 7 separates from the gear 8. Afterwards, the cleaning cylinder 1 vibrates by reciprocating under the force of the spring 3. When the cleaning cylinder 1 stops moving, the rack 7 moves in the opposite direction to reset, so that the rack 7 re-meshes the gear 8, causing the winding disc 5 to rotate and wind the pull line 6. The rack 7 and the gear 8 are separated again, causing the cleaning cylinder 1 to vibrate. This process is repeated so that the cleaning cylinder 1 cleans the tea leaves inside by vibration. In specific implementation, the mounting base 2 has hinge seats fixed on both sides of the cleaning cylinder 1. A drive spindle is rotatably mounted on the hinge seats. The drive spindle is fixedly connected to the cleaning cylinder 1 to realize the rotational installation of the cleaning cylinder 1.
