Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically a tea processing conveying device. Background Technology
[0002] Tea processing is the process of turning fresh tea leaves into drinkable tea through a series of techniques. Its main steps include picking, withering, fixation, rolling, fermentation, and drying.
[0003] Patent publication number "CN219839084U" discloses "A tea processing conveying device, including a working box, a rotating rod installed inside the working box, blades mounted on the rotating rod, a dust collection pipe installed below the working box, a protective net installed inside the dust collection pipe, a suction pipe connected to one side of the dust collection pipe, and a suction box installed on one side of the suction pipe." This invention uses a motor to rotate the rotating rod, and the blades mounted on the rotating rod work together to tumble and disperse clumps of tea leaves. After drying, dust accumulates on the tea leaves during storage. This dust falls into the dust collection pipe during the tumbling process, and the dust in the dust collection pipe is then suctioned out by electricity generated by the suction box. This solves the problems of manual dispersion and dust removal, improving the quality of the work.
[0004] In the aforementioned patent, when tea leaves are fed through the feeding port, the shape of the tea leaves makes the overall flow of the tea leaves generally poor, and multiple tea leaves stacked together can easily block the feeding port and the conveying equipment above, thus affecting the continuous conveying of the tea leaves.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a tea processing conveying device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0013] Beneficial effects
[0014] This utility model provides a tea processing conveying device. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0015] 1. The tea processing conveying device includes a dredging component. The first motor drives the screw to rotate, causing the moving plate to move up and down reciprocally. In conjunction with the clamping rod and the spiral groove, the rotating rod and the paddle block rotate simultaneously as they move up and down. When tea leaves block the connection between the hopper and the conveying cylinder, the rotating and moving paddle block can quickly squeeze and pull the blocked area, rapidly clearing the blockage. This effectively prevents conveying interruptions caused by tea leaf accumulation and ensures smooth processing.
[0016] 2. This tea processing conveying device, through the spiral conveyor rod in the conveying assembly, can not only transport tea leaves from one end of the conveying cylinder to the discharge port, but also agitate the tea leaves during the conveying process, breaking up any clumps of tea leaves and allowing small dust particles in the tea leaves to be discharged through the bottom screening screen. At the same time, by reasonably controlling the length of the spiral conveyor rod, it can achieve both conveying and screening functions while avoiding excessive agitation that could damage the whole tea leaves, thus ensuring tea quality, reducing the processing pressure in subsequent stages, and achieving an efficient combination of tea conveying and pre-treatment.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0024] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 4This application provides a tea processing conveying device, including a conveying cylinder 1, a feeding hopper 4 fixedly installed on the top of the conveying cylinder 1, a conveying assembly 3 disposed inside the conveying cylinder 1, a clearing assembly 2 disposed on the top of the feeding hopper 4, the clearing assembly 2 including a top plate 23, a support rod 24 fixedly installed between the top plate 23 and the feeding hopper 4, a support frame 25 fixedly installed on the top of the top plate 23, a movable plate 26 slidably connected to the side of the support frame 25, a rotating rod 21 rotatably connected to the bottom of the movable plate 26, a lever 22 fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating rod 21, the rotating rod 21 movably penetrating the interior of the top plate 23, and the lever 22 located at the connection between the conveying cylinder 1 and the feeding hopper 4.
[0026] A screw 28 is rotatably connected between the inner top of the support frame 25 and the top plate 23. The screw 28 is screwed through the interior of the movable plate 26. A first motor 27 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 25. The output end of the first motor 27 movably passes through the interior of the support frame 25 and is fixedly connected to the screw 28. A spiral groove 29 is opened on the outer side of the rotating rod 21. A vertical plate 211 is fixedly installed on the top of the top plate 23. A locking rod 210 is fixedly installed on the side of the vertical plate 211 and is slidably connected inside the spiral groove 29.
[0027] In this embodiment, when conveying tea leaves, the tea leaves are put into the feeding hopper 4 and enter the conveying cylinder 1 through the bottom of the feeding hopper 4. When the tea leaves are blocked between the feeding hopper 4 and the conveying cylinder 1, the first motor 27 is started to drive the screw 28 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 28 drives the outer moving plate 26 to move along the side of the support frame 25. The first motor 27 switches between forward and reverse rotation, respectively driving the screw 28 to rotate in both directions, thereby realizing the up-and-down reciprocating movement of the moving plate 26. The up-and-down reciprocating movement of the moving plate 26 drives the rotating rod 21 and the lever 22 to move up and down. When the rotating rod 21 moves up and down, the blocking rod 210 and the spiral groove 29 can drive the rotating rod 21 to rotate while it moves up and down, thereby realizing the simultaneous rotation and up-and-down movement of the rotating rod 21 and the lever 22. The rotating and up-and-down moving lever 22 can quickly squeeze and pull the connection between the feeding hopper 4 and the conveying cylinder 1, thereby quickly clearing the blockage and ensuring the conveying effect.
[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 4In one aspect of this embodiment, the conveying assembly 3 includes a spiral conveying rod 34, which is rotatably connected between the left and right inner walls of the conveying cylinder 1. A discharge port 32 is fixedly installed at the bottom left side of the conveying cylinder 1, and the discharge port 32 communicates with the interior of the conveying cylinder 1. A second motor 31 is fixedly installed on the right side of the conveying cylinder 1, and the output end of the second motor 31 movably passes through the side wall of the conveying cylinder 1 and is fixedly connected to the spiral conveying rod 34 on the inner wall. A support leg 5 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the conveying cylinder 1, and a screening screen 33 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the conveying cylinder 1. The inner wall of the screening screen 33 has the same arc shape as the inner wall of the conveying cylinder 1, and the inner wall of the screening screen 33 is flush with the inner wall of the conveying cylinder 1.
[0029] In this embodiment, the second motor 31 is started to drive the spiral conveyor 34 to rotate, and the tea leaves entering the conveying cylinder 1 are conveyed by the spiral conveyor 34. The conveyed tea leaves are discharged through the discharge port 32. At the same time, the spiral conveyor 34 can stir the tea leaves inside, which can break up the clumps of tea leaves and discharge small dust particles in the tea leaves through the bottom screening screen 33. Thus, the tea leaves are conveyed and screened and broken up at the same time. The tea leaves discharged from the discharge port 32 will fall onto the conveyor belt behind for continued conveying. By shortening the length of the spiral conveyor 34, it is ensured that the tea leaves are not stirred too much, thus ensuring that the spiral conveyor 34 will not break up the whole tea leaves.
[0030] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0031] Working principle: When conveying tea leaves, the tea leaves are put into the feeding hopper 4 and enter the conveying cylinder 1 through the bottom of the feeding hopper 4. When the tea leaves are blocked between the feeding hopper 4 and the conveying cylinder 1, the first motor 27 is started to drive the screw 28 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 28 drives the outer moving plate 26 to move along the side of the support frame 25. The first motor 27 switches between forward and reverse rotation, driving the screw 28 to rotate in both directions, thereby realizing the up-and-down reciprocating movement of the moving plate 26. The up-and-down reciprocating movement of the moving plate 26 drives the rotating rod 21 and the lever 22 to move up and down. When the rotating rod 21 moves up and down, the blocking rod 210 and the spiral groove 29 can drive the rotating rod 21 to rotate while it moves up and down, thus realizing that the rotating rod 21 and the lever 22 rotate and move up and down at the same time. The lever 22, which rotates and moves up and down, can move up and down quickly. The connection between the feeding hopper 4 and the conveying cylinder 1 is quickly squeezed and pulled to clear the blockage, thus ensuring the conveying effect. The second motor 31 is started to drive the screw conveyor 34 to rotate, and the tea leaves entering the conveying cylinder 1 are conveyed through the screw conveyor 34. The conveyed tea leaves are discharged through the discharge port 32. At the same time, the screw conveyor 34 can agitate the tea leaves inside. Agitation can break up the clumps of tea leaves and remove small dust particles from the tea leaves through the bottom screening screen 33. Thus, the tea leaves are conveyed and screened and broken up at the same time. The tea leaves discharged from the discharge port 32 will fall onto the conveyor belt behind for continued conveying. By shortening the length of the screw conveyor 34, it is ensured that the tea leaves are not agitated too much, thus ensuring that the screw conveyor 34 does not break up the whole tea leaves.
