Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea rolling application technology, specifically a tea rolling machine. Background Technology

[0002] A tea rolling machine is a machine that can preserve the fiber structure of tea leaves, ensure uniform tea quality, and is easy to operate. It mainly consists of a lotus seat, a transmission group, and a cloth rolling rod. The lotus seat has several lotus-shaped pieces, which are opened and closed by the transmission group to roll and compress the tea leaves. Another drive motor drives the lotus seat to rotate, which, together with the cloth rolling rod, automatically rolls the cloth bag into a knot, gradually reducing the volume of the cloth bag. This achieves the function of double rolling of the tea leaves and reducing their volume.

[0003] The drawback of existing tea rolling machines is that they rely solely on the rotation of the rolling drum, resulting in random tea flow and uneven rolling. Therefore, a new tea rolling machine is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tea kneading machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tea kneading machine, comprising a circular base plate, a linkage arm, a guide cylinder, and a tightening screw. Three rotating components are mounted on the upper surface of the circular base plate. A tea receiving cylinder is mounted at the middle position of the circular base plate. A kneading cylinder is sleeved on the rotating components, with the tea receiving cylinder located directly below the kneading cylinder. A kneading disc is mounted between the rotating components, with the kneading disc located directly below the kneading cylinder. A transmission component is mounted on the top of the rotating components, and a pressure plate is mounted on the bottom of the transmission component.

[0006] Preferably, the rotating assembly is provided with a support column, a rotary motor is installed on the upper surface of the support column, a linkage arm is installed on the output end of the rotary motor, and a rotating shaft is installed on the linkage arm through a coupling. By adopting the above technical solution, the rotary motor is fixed to the upper surface of the support column, which provides stable support and serves as a power source. The rotary motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, driving its output end to rotate. The output end is equipped with a linkage arm to transmit power to subsequent mechanisms, providing the necessary motion support for related rotation operations.

[0007] Preferably, the transmission assembly is provided with a first reinforcing column and a second reinforcing column, and an arc-shaped fixing rod is installed between the first reinforcing column and the second reinforcing column; By adopting the above technical solution, when the transmission component is in operation, the first and second reinforcing columns first bear and distribute the load, and the arc-shaped fixing rod connects the two to enhance the overall stability, ensuring that the structure is subjected to force synchronously and operates reliably.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating bushing is installed between the arc-shaped fixing rods, and a guide cylinder is installed on the top of the rotating bushing through a large conical tooth. A tightening screw passes through the rotating bushing, the large conical tooth and the guide cylinder. The large conical tooth meshes with the small conical tooth for transmission, and the small conical tooth is fixed on the rotating rod. By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating rod drives the small conical tooth to rotate, and through meshing with the large conical tooth, drives the rotating bushing and guide cylinder to rotate synchronously, so as to guide the tea leaves to move in a set direction and trajectory, thereby achieving orderly conveying and uniform kneading.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating rod is mounted on the arc-shaped fixing rod and the second reinforcing column rod by fastening plates. The first fixing rod and the second fixing rod are respectively installed on both sides of the arc-shaped fixing rod, and a pressure rod is installed on the top of the second reinforcing column rod. By adopting the above technical solution, the pressure rod can apply controllable pressure to the guide cylinder to adjust the stress state of the tea leaves and promote the shaping of the tea leaves.

[0010] Preferably, a bearing structure is provided at the coupling between the linkage arm and the rotating shaft, and the lower surface of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the upper end of the kneading cylinder to drive it to perform horizontal rotation.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating shaft drives the kneading drum to rotate horizontally, so that the tea leaves inside the drum are subjected to uniform force and fully rolled and squeezed, thereby improving the kneading effect and meeting the requirements of subsequent processing for the shape and texture of the tea leaves.

[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the guide cylinder is threaded, the tightening screw passes through it and is threadedly engaged with it, and the bottom end of the tightening screw is rotatably connected to the center of the pressure plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the tightening screw drives the pressure plate to move up and down through the threaded transmission: when rotating in the forward direction, the pressure plate presses down to enhance the kneading force; when rotating in the reverse direction, the pressure plate rises to reduce the pressure, which is convenient for adjustment as needed.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this application are: This invention features a rotating sleeve installed between arc-shaped fixed rods. A guide cylinder is mounted on the top of the rotating sleeve via a large conical tooth. A tightening screw runs through the rotating sleeve, the large conical tooth, and the guide cylinder. The large conical tooth meshes with a small conical tooth, which is fixed to the rotating rod. When the rotating rod rotates, it drives the small conical tooth to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the meshing transmission with the large conical tooth. This causes the large conical tooth to then drive the rotating sleeve to rotate, and finally, the guide cylinder rotates with the rotating sleeve. The rotation of this guide cylinder can regulate the direction and trajectory of tea leaves, achieving orderly delivery and uniform kneading during the kneading process, effectively improving kneading quality and efficiency.

[0017] 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.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a tea kneading machine, including a circular base plate 1, a linkage arm 43, a guide cylinder 79 and a tightening screw 712. Three rotating components 4 are installed on the upper surface of the circular base plate 1, and a tea receiving cylinder 2 is installed at the middle position of the circular base plate 1.

[0019] After the machine is started, the tea leaves to be kneaded are placed in the kneading area corresponding to the rotating component 4. The rotating component 4 begins to rotate and knead the tea leaves. The operator can adjust the speed and direction of rotation of the rotating component 4 through the control system according to the kneading condition of the tea leaves to achieve the best kneading effect. After the tea leaves are kneaded, they are conveyed to the tea receiving cylinder 2. When the tea receiving cylinder 2 is full, it can be replaced with a new tea receiving cylinder to realize continuous tea kneading production.

[0020] A kneading cylinder 5 is fitted onto the rotating assembly 4, with the tea receiving cylinder 2 located directly below it. A kneading disc 3 is installed between the rotating assemblies 4, also located directly below the kneading cylinder 5. During operation, the rotating assembly 4 drives the kneading cylinder 5 to rotate, causing the tea leaves inside to tumble and move, creating relative motion with the stationary kneading disc 3 below. The tea leaves are subjected to squeezing and kneading forces between the kneading cylinder 5 and the kneading disc 3, breaking down the tea cells and releasing juice, thus achieving the kneading effect. This allows the tea leaves to initially take shape and release tea juice, improving the taste and quality of the tea.

[0021] The top of the rotating component 4 is equipped with a transmission component 7, and the bottom of the component is equipped with a pressure plate 6. The pressure plate 6 can move up and down under the drive of the transmission component 7. According to the variety of tea leaves, their initial state, and the required degree of kneading, the control system precisely controls the pressure applied by the pressure plate 6. For coarse and old tea leaves, the pressure applied by the pressure plate 6 can be increased to promote cell breakage; for tender tea leaves, the pressure can be reduced to avoid excessive breakage, thereby ensuring the kneading quality and the quality of the tea leaves.

[0022] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the rotating assembly 4 is provided with a support column 41, and a rotary motor 42 is installed on the upper surface of the support column 41. A linkage arm 43 is installed on the output end of the rotary motor 42, and a rotating shaft disk 44 is installed on the linkage arm 43 through a coupling. The rotary motor 42 is installed on the upper surface of the support column 41, and the support column 41 provides a stable support foundation for the rotary motor 42. The rotary motor 42, as a power source, converts electrical energy into mechanical energy according to the principle of electromagnetic induction after being powered on, causing the output end of the rotary motor 42 to start rotating, thereby generating rotational power. The linkage arm 43 is installed on the output end of the rotary motor 42. When the output end of the rotary motor 42 rotates, it will drive the linkage arm 43 to move together. The linkage arm 43 plays the role of transmitting power, transmitting the power generated by the rotary motor 42 from the motor output end to the next component, providing corresponding motion support for related equipment or mechanisms that require rotational operation.

[0023] Reference Figure 4As shown, the transmission assembly 7 is provided with a first reinforcing column 71 and a second reinforcing column 72, and an arc-shaped fixing rod 78 is installed between them. When the transmission assembly 7 rotates, the first reinforcing column 71 and the second reinforcing column 72 first bear and initially distribute the rotational load, while the arc-shaped fixing rod 78 plays a connecting and further stabilizing role between the two reinforcing columns, ensuring that the two reinforcing columns can work synchronously and jointly maintain the structural stability of the transmission assembly 7.

[0024] A rotating bushing 75 is installed between the arc-shaped fixed rods 78. A guide cylinder 79 is mounted on the top of the bushing 75 via a large conical tooth 77. A tightening screw 712 passes through the rotating bushing 75, the large conical tooth 77, and the guide cylinder 79. The large conical tooth 77 meshes with a small conical tooth 76, which is fixed to a rotating rod 74. The rotating rod 74 drives the small conical tooth 76 to rotate, which in turn drives the large conical tooth 77. The large conical tooth 77 then drives the rotating bushing 75 to rotate, ultimately causing the guide cylinder 79 to rotate as well. This guides the tea leaves to move along a set trajectory, achieving orderly delivery and uniform kneading of the tea leaves during the kneading process. The tightening screw 712 ensures that the above-mentioned connecting components maintain a stable relative position during transmission, preventing loosening or displacement, thus ensuring the normal operation of the entire transmission system.

[0025] The rotating rod 74 is mounted on the arc-shaped fixed rod 78 and the second reinforcing column 72 via fastening plates. A first fixing rod 710 and a second fixing rod 711 are respectively installed on both sides of the arc-shaped fixed rod 78. A pressure rod 73 is installed on the top of the second reinforcing column 72. The pressure rod 73 can apply appropriate pressure to the guide cylinder 79 according to the actual needs of tea kneading, further controlling the stress on the tea during the kneading process and improving the shaping effect. The first fixing rod 710 and the second fixing rod 711 stabilize the arc-shaped fixed rod 78. They are tightly connected to the arc-shaped fixed rod 78, enhancing the stability of the entire structure and ensuring that all transmission and execution components can operate stably, jointly achieving uniform kneading of the tea.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 As shown, a bearing structure is provided at the coupling between the linkage arm 43 and the rotating shaft disk 44. The lower surface of the rotating shaft disk 44 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the kneading cylinder 5 to drive it to rotate horizontally. This bearing structure can reduce the friction at the coupling between the linkage arm 43 and the rotating shaft disk 44, reduce wear, improve the service life of the components, and ensure smooth rotation. When the rotating shaft disk 44 drives the kneading cylinder 5 to rotate horizontally, it can make the tea leaves in the kneading cylinder 5 receive a uniform and stable kneading force. The horizontal rotation helps the tea leaves to roll and squeeze each other fully in the kneading cylinder, thereby achieving a better kneading effect and making the shape and texture of the tea leaves more in line with the requirements of subsequent processing.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the guide cylinder 79 is threaded, and the tightening screw 712 passes through it and is threadedly engaged with it. The bottom end of the tightening screw 712 is rotatably connected to the center of the pressure plate 6. When the tightening screw 712 rotates, it can drive the pressure plate 6 to move up and down through the threaded engagement. When the tightening screw 712 rotates in the forward direction, the pressure plate 6 will move downward, applying pressure to the tea leaves in the kneading cylinder 5 to enhance the kneading effect. When the tightening screw 712 rotates in the reverse direction, the pressure plate 6 will move upward, reducing the pressure on the tea leaves. This allows for flexible adjustment of the pressure according to the characteristics of the tea leaves and the kneading requirements. At the same time, the rotatable connection between the tightening screw 712 and the center of the pressure plate 6 ensures that the pressure plate 6 will not rotate due to the rotation of the tightening screw 712 during the up and down movement, thereby ensuring that the pressure is applied evenly to the tea leaves and further improving the quality and uniformity of the tea kneading.

[0028] The implementation principle of this application is as follows: When the device is in use, the rotary motor 42 starts, driving the rotary shaft disk 44 and the kneading cylinder 5 fixed thereto to rotate horizontally through the linkage arm 43, causing the tea leaves inside the cylinder to tumble along the wall; the tea leaves and the stationary kneading disk 3 below generate relative motion, and are squeezed and kneaded, causing cell breakage and tea juice to overflow, thus initially forming the tea. The transmission component 7 drives the guide cylinder 79 to rotate through the rotating rod 74, which meshes with the small conical teeth 76 and the large conical teeth 77, guiding the tea leaves to move in an orderly manner to ensure uniform kneading. The pressure plate 6 can achieve precise lifting and lowering under the thread drive of the tightening screw 712. When pressing down, the kneading force is increased, and when rising, the pressure is reduced, thus adapting to the processing needs of tea leaves of different ages; and the pressure plate only moves in a linear motion to ensure uniform pressure application. Throughout the process, the frame composed of the first reinforcing column 71, the second reinforcing column 72, and the arc-shaped fixing rod 78 provides a stable structural guarantee for the system, ensuring smooth and reliable kneading action, and ultimately achieving efficient, uniform, and high-quality tea kneading processing.
