Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for tea processing. Background Technology
[0002] When processing tea leaves, they need to be cleaned and washed to ensure the safety of later consumption. During the picking process, tea leaves often contain a large number of small tea stems. Manual picking is inefficient, and manual washing of tea leaves increases labor intensity, reduces the efficiency of later processing, and cannot guarantee the cleanliness of the tea leaves.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, patent publication number "CN208850563U" discloses a cleaning device for tea processing, comprising a machine body and a cover plate. The cover plate is located on the top of the machine body, and a feeding hopper is mounted on the cover plate. A servo motor is mounted on one side of the feeding hopper, and a T-shaped connecting block is connected to one end of the motor shaft of the servo motor. Connecting shafts are located on both sides of the T-shaped connecting block. An ultraviolet lamp is mounted inside the cover plate. A sieving barrel is located inside the machine body, and a first discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the sieving barrel. A guide plate is located at the bottom of the sieving barrel, and a slag discharge pipe is connected to one end of the guide plate. A water inlet pipe is connected to one side of the machine body, and a motor bracket is located on one side of the machine body. A cleaning motor is mounted on the top of the motor bracket. The cleaning motor is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft via its own motor shaft, and multiple cleaning brushes are mounted on the rotating shaft. The cleaning brushes, rotating shaft, and cleaning motor facilitate the cleaning of tea leaves, improving cleaning efficiency and facilitating subsequent processing.
[0004] Based on the above research and existing technology, it has been found that existing tea processing cleaning equipment typically uses a tumbling method to clean tea leaves. While this method can remove tea fragments (tea dust) and impurities, it does so by tumbling the tea leaves. In actual use, the tumbling tea leaves tend to flow continuously with the water, resulting in only a portion of the tea dust and impurities that pass through the filter screen being completely separated from the tea leaves. The remaining tea dust and impurities move synchronously with the water flow and pass back into the tea leaves through the filter screen, leading to poor cleaning results and difficulty in achieving a good separation effect between tea leaves and tea dust or impurities. Therefore, a tea processing cleaning device is needed. Utility Model Content

[0010] Preferably, a follow-up anti-clogging component is installed at the lower end of the suction tube, and the follow-up anti-clogging component corresponds to the filter hole section;
[0011] The follow-up anti-clogging component rotates as the water flows up into the suction pipe and cleans the filter holes, causing tea leaves attached to the outside of the filter holes or tea fragments or debris clogging the filter holes to separate from the filter holes.
[0012] Preferably, the follow-up anti-clogging component includes:
[0013] The frame is fixed to the inner wall of the suction tube by its peripheral support rods.
[0014] A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the middle of the fixed frame and is coaxially arranged with the suction pipe;

[0019] The curved surfaces of the outer cleaning plate and the inner cleaning plate are adapted to the outer and inner walls of the filter pores, respectively.
[0020] Preferably, the multiple outer cleaning plates are staggered with the multiple inner cleaning plates, wherein the end of the inner cleaning plate first contacts the inner side of a hole in the filter part during rotation, and the end of the outer cleaning plate then contacts the outer side of a hole in the filter part during rotation.
[0021] Preferably, a guide protrusion is formed in the middle of the lower end of the washing tub, and the side wall of the guide protrusion and the inner circumferential side wall of the lower end of the washing tub both form arc-shaped guide surfaces, thereby guiding the tea leaves that have descended to the bottom of the washing tub to rise under the action of the water flow, so that the tea leaves will circulate and tumble in the washing tub due to the action of the water flow.
[0022] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0023] 1. In this utility model, by setting up a suction pipe and a rinsing ring pipe, after putting the tea leaves to be cleaned into the cleaning bucket, simply close the lid and inject clean water into the cleaning bucket through the water inlet pipe. Then, start the circulation pump, which will suck out the tea fragments and impurities from the filter holes through the filter processor and suction pipe. The sucked-out impurities and tea fragments are adsorbed and filtered after entering the filter processor. The resulting clean water then enters the rinsing ring pipe through the circulation pump and rinsing pipe, and is sprayed out through the nozzle of the rinsing ring pipe, causing the water flow to be reinjected into the cleaning bucket. After being sprayed out, the water flows down along the inner circumference of the cleaning bucket, forming a downward water ring flow, which drives the tea leaves near the inner wall of the cleaning bucket to move down. After exiting the bottom of the cleaning bucket, the water rises again along the circumference of the suction pipe, forming a circulating water flow.

[0024] 2. In this utility model, by setting up the follower anti-clogging component, when the water in the cleaning tank enters the suction pipe from the filter hole and flows upward, the follower impeller rotates due to the flushing of the water flow, thereby causing the rotating shaft to rotate. When the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the follower disk and the cleaning plate on the follower disk to rotate synchronously, thereby cleaning the filter hole and achieving the purpose of keeping the filter hole unobstructed at all times. This avoids the decrease in cleaning effect caused by the clogging of the filter hole and achieves the purpose of maintaining a good cleaning effect at all times during use.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Example: Reference Figure 1-4 The cleaning equipment for tea processing shown includes a cleaning tank 1. The upper end of the cleaning tank 1 is covered with a tank cover 11, and the lower end of the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a discharge port 12. A discharge baffle is snapped shut inside the discharge port 12. The upper and lower ends of the cleaning tank 1 are respectively provided with a water inlet pipe for inputting cleaning water into the cleaning tank 1 and a drain pipe for discharging wastewater after cleaning. The ends of the water inlet pipe and the drain pipe that are connected to the cleaning tank 1 are provided with filter screens to prevent tea leaves from entering. At the same time, both the water inlet pipe and the drain pipe are provided with solenoid valves (not shown in the figure) to control the opening and closing of the water inlet pipe and the drain pipe.
[0033] A suction tube 2 is fixed in the middle of the bucket lid 11. The upper end of the suction tube 2 passes through the bucket lid 11 and extends to the top of the bucket lid 11. The lower end of the suction tube 2 extends to the bottom of the cleaning bucket 1 and is fitted with a gap at the bottom of the cleaning bucket 1. A filter hole portion 21 is provided in the lower part of the suction tube 2, which is circumferentially distributed along the axis of the suction tube 2.
[0034] A filter processor 5 and a circulation pump 6 are installed above the bucket lid 11. The input end of the filter processor 5 is connected to the suction pipe 2, and the output end of the filter processor 5 is connected to the input end of the circulation pump 6. The output end of the circulation pump 6 is fixedly connected to a rinsing pipe 7, and the other end of the rinsing pipe 7 is fixedly inserted through the bucket lid 11 and extends into the cleaning bucket 1.
[0035] A rinsing ring pipe 3 is fixed to the lower end of the bucket lid 11. The nozzle of the rinsing ring pipe 3 is set downward. The rinsing ring pipe 3 is installed against the inner side wall of the cleaning bucket 1. The rinsing ring pipe 3 is fixed and connected to the end of the rinsing pipe 7.
[0036] Based on the above structure, after placing the tea leaves to be cleaned into the cleaning tank 1, simply close the lid 11, inject clean water into the cleaning tank 1 through the water inlet pipe, and start the circulation pump 6. The circulation pump 6 will then use the filter processor 5 and suction pipe 2 to remove tea fragments and impurities from the filter holes 21. The removed impurities and tea fragments will be adsorbed and filtered after entering the filter processor 5. The resulting clean water will then enter the rinsing ring pipe 3 through the circulation pump 6 and rinsing pipe 7, and be sprayed out through the nozzle of the rinsing ring pipe 3. This will cause the water flow to be reinjected into the cleaning tank 1, and after being sprayed out, it will descend along the inner circumference of the cleaning tank 1, forming a descending water ring flow. This will cause the tea leaves near the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 to move downwards. After exiting the bottom of the cleaning tank 1, the tea leaves will rise along the circumference of the suction pipe 2, forming a circulating water flow. This will achieve the purpose of circulating and tumbling the tea leaves, making the tea leaves more dispersed, and effectively working with the suction pipe 2 to clean the tea fragments and impurities, achieving a better cleaning effect.
[0037] Furthermore, a follow-up anti-clogging component 4 is installed at the lower end of the suction tube 2, and the follow-up anti-clogging component 4 corresponds to the filter hole section 21;
[0038] The follow-up anti-clogging component 4 rotates as the water flows into the suction pipe 2 rises, and cleans the filter hole section 21, so that tea leaves attached to the outside of the filter hole section 21 or tea fragments or debris blocked in the holes of the filter hole section 21 are separated from the filter hole section 21.
[0039] Furthermore, the follow-up anti-blocking component 4 includes:
[0040] The fixing frame 41 has peripheral support rods fixed to the inner wall of the suction pipe 2;
[0041] A rotating shaft 42 is rotatably connected to the middle of the fixed frame 41 and is coaxially arranged with the suction pipe 2.
[0042] Follower impeller 43 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 42 and is arranged with the flow-facing surface facing downward;
[0043] Follower disk 44 is fixed to the bottom of rotating shaft 42. Follower disk 44 closes the lower opening of suction tube 2 and its upper end rotates and fits against the lower end of suction tube 2.
[0044] Among them, multiple cleaning plates that fit against the side wall of the filter hole section 21 are vertically installed on the follower disk 44.
[0045] When the water in the cleaning tank 1 enters the suction pipe 2 through the filter hole section 21 and flows upward, the follower impeller 43 rotates due to the flushing of the water flow, which in turn causes the rotating shaft 42 to rotate. When the rotating shaft 42 rotates, it drives the follower disk 44 and the cleaning plate on the follower disk 44 to rotate synchronously, thereby cleaning the filter hole section 21 and keeping the filter hole section 21 unobstructed. This avoids the decrease in cleaning effect caused by the clogging of the filter hole section 21 and achieves the goal of maintaining a good cleaning effect during use.
[0046] Furthermore, the cleaning plate includes multiple outer cleaning plates 441 and multiple inner cleaning plates 442. The lower ends of the multiple outer cleaning plates 441 and multiple inner cleaning plates 442 are fixed to the upper end of the follower disk 44. The outer cleaning plates 441 are attached to the outer side wall of the filter hole portion 21, and the inner cleaning plates 442 are attached to the inner side wall of the filter hole portion 21.
[0047] The outer cleaning plate 441 and the inner cleaning plate 442 are both made of flexible materials such as silicone, which have good elastic deformation properties, so that the outer cleaning plate 441 and the inner cleaning plate 442 can be completely attached to the side wall of the filter hole part 21. The arc-shaped surfaces of the outer cleaning plate 441 and the inner cleaning plate 442 are respectively adapted to the outer side wall and the inner side wall of the filter hole part 21.
[0048] Multiple outer cleaning plates 441 are staggered with multiple inner cleaning plates 442. During rotation, the end of the inner cleaning plate 442 first contacts the inner side of a hole in the filter hole section 21, and the end of the outer cleaning plate 441 then contacts the outer side of a hole in the filter hole section 21 during rotation.
[0049] With the arrangement of multiple outer cleaning plates 441 and multiple inner cleaning plates 442, the outer cleaning plates 441 and the inner cleaning plates 442 clean the inner and outer sides of the filter hole section 21 respectively during rotation. On the one hand, they can clean the tea leaves attached to the outside of the filter hole section 21, and on the other hand, they can clean the tea fragments or debris on the inside of the filter hole section 21, thereby achieving the purpose of maintaining the filtration effectiveness of the filter hole section 21.
[0050] Furthermore, a guide boss 13 is formed in the middle of the lower end of the washing tank 1. The lower end of the follower plate 44 is fitted with the top of the guide boss 13 with a clearance. The side wall of the guide boss 13 and the inner circumferential side wall of the lower end of the washing tank 1 both form arc-shaped guide surfaces, thereby guiding the tea leaves that have descended to the bottom of the washing tank 1 to rise under the action of the water flow. This causes the tea leaves to circulate and tumble in the washing tank 1 due to the water flow, thus facilitating a thorough cleaning of the tea leaves and achieving a better effect in removing tea fragments and impurities.
[0051] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In daily use, first open the lid 11 (since the lid 11 has many parts, it can be lifted and lowered using a commonly used lifting device in the prior art), put the tea leaves to be cleaned into the cleaning bucket 1, then close the lid 11, and inject clean water into the cleaning bucket 1 through the water inlet pipe. Then start the circulation pump 6, which causes the circulation pump 6 to suck up the tea fragments and impurities that have passed through the filter hole 21 through the filter processor 5 and the suction pipe 2. The sucked-up impurities and tea fragments are adsorbed and filtered after entering the filter processor 5, resulting in clean tea. Clean water enters the rinsing ring pipe 3 through the circulation pump 6 and rinsing pipe 7, and is sprayed out through the nozzle of the rinsing ring pipe 3, so that the water flow is reinjected into the cleaning tank 1. After being sprayed out, the water flows down along the inner circumference of the cleaning tank 1, forming a downward water ring flow, which drives the tea leaves near the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 to move down. After hitting the bottom of the cleaning tank 1, the water rises along the circumference of the suction pipe 2, forming a circulating water flow. This achieves the purpose of driving the tea leaves to circulate and tumble, making the tea leaves more dispersed, and can effectively work with the suction pipe 2 to clean tea fragments and impurities, achieving a better cleaning effect.
[0052] When the water in the cleaning tank 1 enters the suction pipe 2 through the filter hole section 21 and flows upward, the follower impeller 43 rotates due to the flushing of the water flow, which in turn causes the rotating shaft 42 to rotate. When the rotating shaft 42 rotates, it drives the follower disk 44 and the multiple outer cleaning plates 441 and multiple inner cleaning plates 442 on the follower disk 44 to rotate synchronously, thereby cleaning the filter hole section 21 and keeping the filter hole section 21 unobstructed. This avoids the decrease in cleaning effect caused by the filter hole section 21 being covered with tea leaves, tea fragments or other debris, and achieves the goal of maintaining a good cleaning effect during use.
[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
