[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] Reference Figures 1-4A tea processing rolling device includes a rolling drum 1 and a feeding hopper 2 fixed to the bottom of the rolling drum 1. A top plate 3 is detachably connected to the top of the rolling drum 1. The top of the top plate 3 is provided with a feeding opening. A rolling mechanism is assembled between the top plate 3 and the rolling drum 1. The rolling mechanism includes a motor 4, an output roller 5, a connecting cylinder 6, and rolling plates 7. The top of the top plate 3 is fixed with the motor 4, which is model 1LE1001-1 CA43-3FA47.5kW. The output end of the motor 4 passes through the top plate 3 and is fixed with the output roller 5. One end of the output roller 5 is equipped with the connecting cylinder 6. Multiple rolling plates 7 are evenly distributed and fixed on the outer side of the connecting cylinder 6. The bottom of the rolling plates 7 is arc-shaped or smooth, and the vertical distance between the rolling plates 7 and the rolling drum 11 is consistent.
[0028] A mounting mechanism is installed between the output roller 5 and the connecting cylinder 6. The mounting mechanism is used to connect the output roller 5 and the connecting cylinder 6. The mounting mechanism includes a lever 8, a boundary plate 9, and a spring 10. A cylindrical hole is opened at the top of the connecting cylinder 6, and the cylindrical hole is slidably connected to the output roller 5. The lever 8 is slidably connected to one side of the connecting cylinder 6. A receiving groove is opened on the inner side of the connecting cylinder 6 at a position corresponding to the lever 8. The boundary plate 9 is slidably connected to the inner side of the receiving groove. The inner side of the boundary plate 9 is fixed to the lever 8. A spring 10 is fixed to one side of the boundary plate 9 and is sleeved on the outer side of the lever 8. A groove is opened on one side of the output roller 5. One end of the lever 8 passes through the receiving groove and the cylindrical hole and is slidably connected to the groove. When the kneading plate 7 needs to be removed for cleaning or replacement, the top plate 3 is disassembled from the kneading cylinder 1. Then, the top plate 3 is removed, and the lever 8 is pulled, so that the lever 8 drives the boundary plate 9 to squeeze the spring 10 along the inner side of the receiving groove until the lever 8 separates from the groove. Then, the connecting cylinder 6 is pulled, so that the cylindrical hole separates from the output roller 5.
[0029] A kneading disc 11 is fixed inside the kneading cylinder 1. Multiple arc-shaped guide strips 12 are evenly distributed on the inner side of the kneading disc 11. There is a gap between the top of the arc-shaped guide strip 12 and the bottom of the kneading plate 7. The arc-shaped guide strips 12 facilitate the continuous placement of the kneaded tea leaves between two adjacent arc-shaped guide strips 12, preventing the tea leaves from being broken due to excessive kneading.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] Further optimizations to Example 1, specifically, such as... Figure 5As shown, a feeding port 13 is provided at the center of the top of the kneading disc 11. An opening and closing mechanism is installed between the bottom of the kneading disc 11 and the feeding port 13. The inner side of the kneading disc 11 is funnel-shaped, and the feeding port 13 is located at the lowest point inside the kneading disc 11, so that the tea leaves can fall naturally from the inside of the kneading disc 11 into the feeding port 13 for discharge when the kneading is finished. The inside of the kneading disc 11 is provided with a cavity, and an electric heating wire is provided in the cavity to facilitate the drying of the tea leaves during the kneading process. The dried tea leaves are more likely to fall into the feeding port 13 along the inner side of the kneading disc 11 under the action of gravity. If a blockage occurs, a broom can be used to push the tea leaves into the feeding port 13 along the inner side of the kneading disc 11 through the opening at the top of the top plate 3.
[0032] The opening and closing mechanism includes a transmission rod 14, a baffle 15, a cam 16, a handle 17, a vertical plate 18, and a torsion spring 19. The transmission rod 14 is rotatably connected to one side of the kneading cylinder 1, below the kneading disc 11. The baffle 15 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the kneading disc 11, corresponding to the discharge port 13. The baffle 15 and the discharge port 13 are in transition fit. Two vertical bars are rotatably connected to one end of the transmission rod 14, with the tops of the bars fixed to the kneading disc 11. A cam 16 is fixed to the outer side of the transmission rod 14, between the two vertical bars, with the top of the cam 16 in contact with the baffle 15. A handle 17 is fixed to the other end of the transmission rod 14, and a torsion spring 19 is fixed to one side of the handle 17, with the torsion spring 19 sleeved on the transmission rod 14. On the outer side, a vertical plate 18 is fixed to the end of the torsion spring 19 away from the handle 17. The vertical plate 18 is rotatably connected to the transmission rod 14. The top of the vertical plate 18 is fixed to the kneading disc 11. When kneading is completed, the handle 17 is rotated to open the discharge port 13 for material discharge. After the material discharge is completed, the handle 17 is released. At this time, the torsion spring 19 drives the handle 17 and the transmission rod 14 to rotate and reset, thereby causing the cam 16 to contact the baffle 15 again. The cam 16 pushes the baffle 15 to rotate and reset until the baffle 15 is connected to the discharge port 13, forming a blockage of the discharge port 13. It can be understood that the top edge of the baffle 15 is smaller than the bottom edge of the baffle 15, which makes it easier for the baffle 15 to fit better with the inner side of the discharge port 13 and avoids motion interference.
[0033] In summary:
[0034] This utility model addresses the technical problem that, while existing technologies can knead tea leaves, the kneaded tea leaves still require manual tilting of the machine casing to discharge, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The present invention employs the technical solutions described in the above embodiments. Furthermore, the implementation process of the above technical solutions is as follows:
[0035] Add an appropriate amount of tea leaves into the kneading cylinder 1, then start the motor 4. The output end of the motor 4 drives the output roller 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting cylinder 6 and the kneading plate 7 to rotate synchronously. This allows the kneading plate 7 to knead the tea leaves in cooperation with the arc-shaped guide strip 12. When the kneading is complete, turn the handle 17, which drives the transmission rod 14 to rotate. At the same time, the handle 17 drives the torsion spring 19 to deform and rewind. Because the transmission rod 14 is fixed to the cam 16, and the top of the cam 16 is in contact with the baffle plate 15, the transmission rod 14 can drive the cam 16 to separate from the baffle plate 15. When the cam 16 releases its support from the baffle plate 15, the baffle plate 15 falls and rotates naturally under the action of gravity. At this time, the tea leaves fall into the feeding port 13 along with the inner side of the kneading disc 11 and are discharged through the inner side of the feeding hopper 2, thus realizing the discharge process.
[0036] With the above-mentioned settings, this application will certainly solve the above-mentioned technical problems, and at the same time achieve the following technical effects:
[0037] 1. Through the structural design of the kneading mechanism and the opening and closing mechanism, this utility model makes it easy to knead tea leaves. After the tea leaves are kneaded, the feeding port 13 can be opened quickly to discharge the tea leaves, which speeds up the work efficiency and improves the efficiency of this device.
[0038] 2. Through the structural design of the mounting mechanism, this utility model enables the device to clean or replace the kneading board 7 in the later stages, avoiding the generation of dirt on the kneading board 7 and improving the quality and safety of tea processing.
