Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea bag packaging equipment, and in particular to a packaging device for traditional Chinese medicine health-preserving tea bags. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there are many kinds of Chinese herbal health teas on the market with different functions and tastes. To cater to users, most of these health teas are packaged in tea bags. The packaging of Chinese herbal health tea bags currently requires two processes: mixing and weighing. The mixing process, in particular, has more stringent requirements.
[0003] Chinese patent CN219008268U discloses a weighing, mixing and dispensing device for multiple ingredients in tea bags. The device includes a mixing tank and a feeding hopper with a built-in weighing structure. The mixing tank is equipped with a mixing and stirring structure, which can fully mix multiple ingredients to improve the mixing efficiency.
[0004] However, the device still has shortcomings: the particle sizes of the components in the tea bag are mostly different. If the rotation speed is too slow when the device is working, it is easy to cause the upper and lower layers of raw materials to be difficult to disperse evenly. If the rotation speed is too high, it is easy to break the components in the raw materials, which will affect sales. Utility Model Content

Through a combined structure of a guide hopper, annular plate, and scraper, when the raw materials are mixed, the auger rotates in the opposite direction, and the annular plate rotates simultaneously. The scraper circulates and lifts the bottom layer of raw materials, throwing them into the guide hopper in a parabolic shape. The material enters the conduit along the guide hopper and falls from the outlet under the pushing force of the auger. This cycle repeats, promoting thorough mixing of the upper and lower layers of raw materials and preventing them from being crushed. A distributor is installed, and the mixed raw materials discharged from the outlet pipe are sieved by a screen plate. Debris is discharged along discharge pipe A, while the raw materials in their normal form are discharged from discharge pipe B. A support shell and a disc structure with a weighing component facilitate individual weighing and dispensing, enabling quantitative packaging. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Example 1, as Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model proposes a traditional Chinese medicine health-preserving tea bag packaging device, including a storage tank 2, a guide hopper 6, an auger 8, an annular plate 10, and a drive assembly B. A guide tube 3, coaxial with the storage tank 2, is provided on the guide tube 3. The guide tube 3 has an upward-facing inlet 301 and a downward-facing outlet 302. Both ends of the guide tube 3 extend outside the storage tank 2 and are respectively connected to the inside of the tank via an inlet hopper 4 and an outlet pipe 5. The inlet hopper 301 is located between the outlet of the inlet hopper 4 and the inlet of the outlet pipe 5. A valve A41 is provided on the inlet hopper 4 to control the opening and closing of its outlet channel A, and a valve B51 is provided on the outlet pipe 5 to control the opening and closing of its outlet channel B. Two annular support plates 7, coaxial with the guide tube 3, are fitted onto the guide tube 3. The guide hopper 6 is mounted on the guide tube 3, with its outlet facing downward and connected to the inlet hopper 301. The auger 8 is coaxially rotatably mounted inside the guide tube 3 and has a clearance fit with its inner wall. The auger 8 includes a main shaft and a spiral plate mounted on the main shaft. The main shaft is rotatably connected to the end cap of the guide tube 3. The outer edge of the spiral plate slides in contact with the inner wall of the guide tube 3. A drive assembly A is mounted on the guide tube 3 to drive the auger 8 to rotate. The drive assembly A includes a motor A9 and a coupling A. The body of the motor A9 is connected to the end cap of the guide tube 3, and the output end of the motor A9 is connected to the main shaft of the auger 8 through the coupling A. There are two annular plates 10. Both annular plates 10 are fitted onto the guide tube 3 and are coaxially rotatably connected to it. The two sides of the annular plates 10 abut against the inner wall of the storage tank 2 and the side of the guide hopper 6, respectively. Several scrapers 11 are arranged in a circular array around the axis between the two annular plates 10. The scrapers 11 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the storage tank 2. Drive assembly B is mounted on storage tank 2. Drive assembly B includes a gear ring 12, a motor B14, and a coupling B. An annular groove coaxial with the end cover of storage tank 2 is provided. A gear 13 rotatably connected to the end cover of storage tank 2 is provided in the annular groove. The gear ring 12 is located in the annular groove and rotatably connected to it coaxially. The gear ring 12 is coaxially connected to the annular plate 10, and the gear ring 12 meshes with the gear 13. The motor B14 is mounted on storage tank 2. The output end of motor B14 is connected to the central shaft of gear 13 through coupling B. Drive assembly B drives the annular plate 10 to rotate, so as to lift the raw material through scraper 11 and send it into guide hopper 6.
[0027] It should be noted that both valves A41 and B51 are solenoid valves.
[0028] In this embodiment, valve A41 is opened, and raw materials are added into the guide pipe 3 along the feed hopper 4. Motor A9 is started, and motor A9 drives the auger 8 to rotate in the forward direction. At this time, the raw materials are pushed into the storage tank 2 along the discharge port 302 under the pushing action of the auger 8. After the feeding is completed, motor A9 is started to rotate in the reverse direction, the auger rotates in the reverse direction, and motor B14 is started. Motor B14 drives gear 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring 12 and the annular plate 10 to rotate. The annular plate 10 drives the scraper 11 to move, utilizing... The scraper 11 is used to lift the bottom material sequentially. Under the action of its own gravity and the inertial force of the scraper 11, the material is thrown into the guide hopper 6 in a parabolic state. The material enters the guide tube 3 through the feed port 301 and is discharged along the discharge port under the push of the auger 8. This operation can make the material in the storage tank 2 quickly and evenly mixed. After the material is evenly mixed, the motor A9 is started to rotate in the forward direction, and the motor B14 is kept working normally. The auger rotates in the forward direction. At this time, the material in the guide tube 3 is gradually discharged from the discharge pipe 5 under the push of the auger.
[0029] Example 2, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, this utility model proposes a traditional Chinese medicine health-preserving tea bag dispensing device. Compared with Embodiment 1, the storage tank 2 is equipped with a distributor 15. The distributor 15 includes one input port and two output ports. The input port opens upward and is connected to the output port of the discharge pipe 5. The distributor 15 is equipped with a discharge pipe A16 and a discharge pipe B17, which are respectively connected to one of the output ports. The distributor 15 is equipped with a sieve plate 18 inclined towards the input port of the discharge pipe B17. At the same time, the distributor 15 is equipped with an inclined plate inclined towards the discharge pipe A16 at the bottom of the sieve plate 18. A linear vibration motor is installed below the sieve plate 18 in the distributor 15, and the output end of the linear vibration motor abuts against the bottom surface of the sieve plate 18.
[0030] In this embodiment, there will inevitably be debris in the uniformly mixed material. If it is necessary to remove the debris, a distributor 15 is connected to the outlet of the discharge pipe 5. The raw material enters the distributor 15, and the debris in the raw material is separated from the conventional material under the action of the vibrating screen plate 18. The debris is discharged along the discharge pipe A16, while the conventional raw material is discharged from the discharge pipe B17.
[0031] Example 3, as Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, this utility model proposes a traditional Chinese medicine health-preserving tea bag dispensing device. Compared with Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, the storage tank 2 has a base 1 at its bottom, a bracket on the base 1, and a support shell 19 on the bracket. The support shell 19 has two through holes 191 symmetrically arranged about its axis, communicating with its interior. A discharge pipe 192 covers the outside of the bottom through holes 191. A disc 20 is coaxially rotatable inside the support shell 19. Four receiving grooves 2001 are arranged in a circular array around the axis on the arc surface of the disc 20. A weighing component is installed in each of the receiving grooves 2001. A motor C23 is installed on the support shell 19 to drive the disc 20 to rotate intermittently. The weighing component includes a control panel, a tray 21, and a pressure sensor 22. The control panel uses a combination of HMI (Human Machine Interface) and PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). The HMI provides users with an intuitive and user-friendly interface, allowing them to easily issue various commands via touchscreen. The tray 21 is set inside the receiving groove 2001 and is movably connected to it along the height of the receiving groove 2001. The body of the pressure sensor 22 is set on the bottom surface of the receiving groove 2001. The detection end of the pressure sensor 22 is connected to the bottom surface of the tray 21. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).
[0032] In this embodiment, during quantitative packaging, if the distributor 15 is not installed, the input end of the discharge pipe 5 is introduced into the upper through hole 191. If the distributor 15 is installed, the output end of the discharge pipe B17 is introduced into the upper through hole 191. The raw material enters the upward-facing receiving groove 2001 along the upper through hole 191. When the value fed back to the PLC by the pressure sensor 22 is the same as the set value, the motor C23 drives the disc 20 to rotate 90 degrees. The next empty receiving groove 2001 rotates to the upward-facing position. As the disc 20 rotates sequentially, the downward-facing receiving groove 2001 guides the raw material inside it into the discharge pipe 192 through the lower through hole. The discharge pipe 192 discharges the same weight of raw material each time.
[0033] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
