Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea rolling machines, and in particular to a fully automatic tea rolling machine with anti-caking and self-cleaning properties. Background Technology
[0002] Tea rolling machines are key pieces of equipment in the tea processing industry. Through rolling, they break down tea cells and release tea juice, laying the foundation for subsequent fermentation and drying processes. However, traditional tea rolling machines commonly suffer from problems such as tea accumulating on the inner wall of the rolling drum and tea leaves clumping together, affecting rolling efficiency and tea quality.
[0003] Our factory has been processing tea for many years, using traditional tea rolling machines. However, the problems have become increasingly apparent over time. During rolling, the tea juice keeps sticking to the walls of the drum, eventually forming hard clumps that are extremely difficult to clean. We have to stop production each time and have the workers scrape it off bit by bit, which is both time-consuming and increases labor costs. What's even more troublesome is that the tea leaves tend to clump together while being rolled in the drum, especially along the sides, resulting in uneven rolling and inconsistent tea quality. We've received feedback from customers several times, and we haven't found a good solution yet. This is definitely affecting our production schedule and product reputation. Utility Model Content

[0019] This application provides a fully automatic tea rolling machine with anti-caking and self-cleaning properties, which effectively solves the technical problem that traditional tea rolling machines commonly suffer from tea accumulation on the inner wall of the rolling drum and tea clumping during long-term use.
[0020] Example
[0021] like Figure 1-4As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment aims to effectively solve the technical problems of tea accumulating on the inner wall of the kneading drum and tea clumping, which are common problems in traditional tea kneading machines during long-term use. The overall idea is as follows:
[0022] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a fully automatic tea kneading machine with anti-caking and self-cleaning properties. Its main structure includes a support platform 11, on which a stainless steel kneading disc 10 is mounted, and a stainless steel kneading barrel 1 is arranged above the stainless steel kneading disc 10.
[0023] A rotating crank 2 is fixedly installed on the outside of the stainless steel kneading drum 1. The rotating crank 2 is rotatably mounted on the support platform 11, providing support and driving basis for the movement of the kneading drum. At the same time, the stainless steel kneading drum 1 is also equipped with a scraping mechanism for cleaning and preventing clumping.
[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the core component of the scraping mechanism includes a rotating ring 6. The lower end of the rotating ring 6 has a mounting groove 7 that fits the upper end of the stainless steel kneading barrel 1, and the ring is fitted onto the upper end of the stainless steel kneading barrel 1 through this groove 7. A scraping rubber plate 9 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the rotating ring 6, and the scraping rubber plate 9 is in close contact with the inner wall of the stainless steel kneading barrel 1. Furthermore, at least ten insertion rods 8 are fixedly installed on the scraping rubber plate 9. When the scraping mechanism is activated, the rotating ring 6 rotates around the upper end of the stainless steel kneading barrel 1, thereby driving the scraping rubber plate 9 to rotate synchronously. During this process, the scraping rubber plate 9 can directly scrape the inner wall of the stainless steel kneading barrel 1, effectively removing tea juice and broken leaves adhering to the barrel wall, thus preventing tea residue from hardening due to long-term adhesion—the main reason for tea accumulation on the inner wall of traditional kneading barrels. Meanwhile, the insert rod 8 on the scraper plate 9 will continuously "insert" into the tea pile as the scraper rotates: because the tea leaves are subjected to centrifugal force and friction in the kneading barrel, they are prone to sticking to the barrel wall and forming a ring-shaped pile. The rotation of the insert rod 8 can repeatedly cut and break up the tea clumps that are about to clump together, especially the tea leaves that are prone to sticking together due to compression near the barrel wall. This effectively breaks the sticky connection formed by the tea juice and achieves the effect of preventing clumping.
[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, a servo motor 3 is fixedly mounted on the crank 2, and a rotating shaft 4 is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 3. A gear 5 is fixedly mounted on the end of the rotating shaft 4. Correspondingly, the circumferential surface of the rotating ring 6 is machined with tooth grooves, and the gear 5 meshes with the tooth grooves of the rotating ring 6 to form a transmission structure. When the servo motor 3 starts, its output shaft drives the rotating shaft 4 and the gear 5 to rotate synchronously. Through the meshing action of the gear 5 and the rotating ring 6, the rotating ring 6 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the entire scraping mechanism to operate and realize the functions of automatic cleaning and anti-caking.
[0026] Working principle:
[0027] First, after the equipment is started, the crank 2 is rotated on the support platform 11, which drives the stainless steel kneading barrel 1 to perform kneading operations on the stainless steel kneading disc 10. The tea leaves are subjected to centrifugal force and friction in the stainless steel kneading barrel 1, and gradually stick to the barrel wall to form a ring-shaped accumulation.
[0028] The second step is to start the servo motor 3 on the crank 2 synchronously. The output shaft of the servo motor 3 drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 5 on the rotating shaft 4 to rotate synchronously. Since the gear 5 meshes with the tooth groove on the circumferential surface of the rotating ring 6, the rotation of the gear 5 drives the rotating ring 6 to rotate stably on the upper end of the stainless steel kneading barrel 1 through the mounting groove 7 at the lower end.
[0029] Third, when the rotating ring 6 rotates, it drives the scraping rubber plate 9 fixedly installed on its inner side to rotate synchronously. Because the scraping rubber plate 9 is in contact with the inner wall of the stainless steel kneading barrel 1, it directly scrapes off the tea juice and broken leaves attached to the barrel wall during the rotation process, preventing the tea residue from hardening after long-term adhesion. At the same time, the insertion rod 8 on the scraping rubber plate 9 rotates with the scraping rubber plate 9, continuously "inserting" into the tea pile, repeatedly cutting and breaking up the tea clumps that are about to clump together like a "comb". It is especially effective for tea leaves that are easy to stick together near the barrel wall due to compression, destroying the sticky connection formed by the tea juice and achieving the effect of preventing clumping.
[0030] Through the coordinated operation of the above components, the equipment can automatically clean the barrel wall and prevent tea from clumping while completing the tea rolling operation, achieving fully automatic integrated operation.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
