[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea processing equipment, specifically a roller-type tea processing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the tea processing process, rolling is one of the key steps in forming the shape and internal quality of tea leaves. Roller-type tea processing equipment has gradually become an important piece of equipment in the tea processing field due to its high efficiency, precision and stability.
[0003] Existing technology publication CN221152826U discloses a roller-pressed tea processing device. The roller-pressed tea processing device includes a base, a conveyor belt mounted on top of the base, a U-shaped housing fixedly mounted on top of the base, a controller fixedly mounted on the U-shaped housing, and multiple lifting mechanisms mounted on the U-shaped housing.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0015] This utility model provides a roller-type tea processing equipment, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] (1) This type of roller-press tea processing equipment, through the setting of kneading strips and kneading rollers, allows the operator to activate the lifting rod according to the kneading requirements of the tea. The lifting rod, through the adjusting plate, drives the kneading frame to move up and down, thereby adjusting the position between the kneading roller and the kneading belt. Then, the operator adds the tea into the preparation hopper, and then activates the telescopic rod. The telescopic rod pushes the feeding plate to open the feeding port to the corresponding size, and the tea can then flow into the kneading belt. Subsequently, the conveyor motor drives the toothed belt to rotate through the drive wheel, and the toothed belt drives the conveyor roller to rotate through the transmission wheel. At this time, the kneading belt can convey the tea. When the tea is conveyed to the kneading position, the kneading motor... The machine drives the drive sprocket to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission sprocket to rotate via a transmission chain. The transmission sprocket then drives the kneading rollers to rotate, allowing the kneading rollers to knead the tea leaves. During the kneading process, the outer surface of the kneading belt is equipped with kneading strips, and the kneading rollers vary in size and pressure. Each kneading roller exerts a different pressure on the tea leaves, and the outer surface of each roller has specific textures. By using kneading rollers with different textures, the tea leaves can be kneaded and shaped in different ways. The tea leaves are then discharged from one side. This kneading method reduces the tea leaf damage rate, makes the tea leaves more evenly kneaded, thus ensuring the appearance and aroma of the tea leaves and increasing their market value.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a roller-type tea processing equipment, including a tea kneading body 1, a conveying roller 8 movably connected to the inner side of the tea kneading body 1, a kneading belt 9 movably connected to the outer side of the conveying roller 8, a kneading strip 11 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the kneading belt 9, a kneading frame 12 and a preparation hopper 18 fixedly connected to the top of the tea kneading body 1, a kneading motor 13 fixedly connected to the top of the kneading frame 12, a drive sprocket 14 fixedly connected to the drive end of the kneading motor 13, a transmission chain 15 meshing with the outer side of the drive sprocket 14, a kneading roller 17 movably connected inside the kneading frame 12, a transmission sprocket 16 fixedly connected to one end of the kneading roller 17, the transmission sprocket 16 meshing with the transmission chain 15, a telescopic rod 19 fixedly connected to one side of the preparation hopper 18, and a feeding plate 20 fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod 19.
[0024] Furthermore, a support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tea kneading body 1, and a support leg 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 2. The support frame 2 and the support leg 3 make the tea processing equipment more stable and less prone to shaking.
[0025] Furthermore, a motor frame 4 is fixedly connected to the front of the tea kneading body 1, a conveyor motor 5 is fixedly connected to the front of the motor frame 4, and a drive wheel 6 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the conveyor motor 5. By starting the conveyor motor 5, the conveyor motor 5 drives the toothed belt 7 to rotate through the drive wheel 6.
[0026] Furthermore, a transmission wheel 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the conveying roller 8, and a toothed belt 7 is movably connected to the outer side of the transmission wheel 10. The toothed belt 7 is movably connected to the drive wheel 6. When the drive wheel 6 drives the toothed belt 7 to rotate, the toothed belt 7 drives the conveying roller 8 to rotate through the transmission wheel 10. At this time, the kneading belt 9 can convey the tea leaves.
[0027] Furthermore, an adjustment plate 21 is fixedly connected to one side, the front and the back of the kneading frame 12. A lifting rod 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjustment plate 21. There are four lifting rods 22, two of which are located on the front and the back of the tea kneading body 1, and the other two are located on the top of the tea kneading body 1. By activating the lifting rod 22, the lifting rod 22 drives the kneading frame 12 to move up and down through the adjustment plate 21, thereby adjusting the position between the kneading roller 17 and the kneading belt 9.
[0028] Furthermore, multiple kneading rollers 17 are provided, each of different sizes, and each of the multiple kneading rollers 17 has a specific texture on its outer surface. Because the kneading belt 9 has kneading strips 11 on its outer surface and the kneading rollers 17 are different in size, and each kneading roller 17 exerts a different squeezing force on the tea leaves, and each of the kneading rollers 17 has a specific texture on its outer surface, the tea leaves can be kneaded and shaped in different ways using kneading rollers 17 with different textures.
[0029] Working Principle: After installation, first check the installation, fixation, and safety precautions of this utility model. When using the roller-type tea processing equipment, the operator starts the lifting rod 22 according to the tea kneading requirements. The lifting rod 22 drives the kneading frame 12 to move up and down through the adjusting plate 21, thereby adjusting the position between the kneading roller 17 and the kneading belt 9. Then, the operator adds tea into the preparation hopper 18. Subsequently, the operator starts the telescopic rod 19, which pushes the feeding plate 20 to open the feeding port to the appropriate size, allowing the tea to flow onto the kneading belt 9. Then, the conveying motor 5 drives the toothed belt 7 to rotate through the drive wheel 6, and the toothed belt 7 drives the conveying roller 8 to rotate through the transmission wheel 10. At this time, the kneading belt 9 can convey the tea. When the tea leaves are conveyed to the kneading position, the kneading motor 13 drives the drive sprocket 14 to rotate, and the drive sprocket 14 drives the transmission sprocket 16 to rotate through the transmission chain 15. The transmission sprocket 16 then drives the kneading roller 17 to rotate. At this time, the kneading roller 17 can knead the tea leaves. When kneading the tea leaves, because the outer surface of the kneading belt 9 is provided with kneading strips 11 and the kneading rollers 17 are of different sizes, and each kneading roller 17 exerts a different squeezing force on the tea leaves, and the outer surface of the kneading roller 17 is provided with specific textures, the tea leaves can be kneaded and shaped in different ways using kneading rollers 17 with different textures. Then the tea leaves are discharged from one side, thus completing the use process of this utility model. This utility model has a simple structure and is safe and convenient to use.
