Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea leaf straightening machines, specifically to an auxiliary feeding structure for a tea leaf straightening machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the tea production and processing process, a shaping machine is needed to fix the tea leaves and shape them to ensure that the produced tea leaves are more well-formed.

[0003] When tea leaves need to be fed into a tea-rolling machine for processing, existing technologies typically involve manual feeding and automatic mechanical feeding. Manual feeding involves manually pouring the tea leaves into the machine, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. When using automatic mechanical feeding, a feeder is usually installed on one side of the outer end of the tea-rolling machine. Existing feeders have an inlet at the top and a outlet at the bottom on one side, with the outlet located on the upper side of the machine. A limiting tooth is also installed on the inner cavity of the feeder near the outlet. When the limiting tooth is driven to rotate, it can discharge the tea leaves from the feeder through the outlet. The discharged tea leaves can then automatically fall into the tea-rolling machine. However, although this method saves time and labor, the amount of tea leaves discharged cannot be judged, which can easily lead to too much or too little tea leaves being discharged. Furthermore, most of the discharged tea leaves fall from one position, making it difficult to distribute the material evenly and causing the tea leaves to accumulate in one position of the tea-rolling machine.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an auxiliary feeding structure for a tea leaf straightening machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary feeding structure for a tea leaf straightening machine, comprising a straightening machine and a feeder, wherein the feeder is disposed on one side of the outer end of the straightening machine, and a discharge port is provided on the side of the feeder near the straightening machine; a sleeve plate is fixedly installed on the upper end of the side of the feeder near the discharge port, and a limit baffle is movably connected to the inner cavity of the sleeve plate; adjustment components are installed above both ends of the straightening machine, a guide component is installed on the upper end of the adjustment component, and a receiving component is installed in the middle of the guide component, the receiving component being located above the straightening machine;

[0007] The receiving assembly includes a hopper and support frames symmetrically installed on both sides of the hopper. A gear is installed on the upper end of the support frame on the side away from the hopper, and casters are installed on the bottom of the support frame.

[0008] Based on the above characteristics: When the feeder needs to discharge tea leaves, the adjusting component can drive the receiving component to move below the discharge port. At this time, the opening end of the hopper will be vertically upward, and the upper part of the support frame will push the limit baffle upward and retract into the sleeve plate. The discharge port will also leak out. During this process, the feeder can discharge tea leaves through the discharge port. The discharged tea leaves will fall into the hopper. At this time, the weighing sensor can weigh the tea leaves in the hopper. When the weight reaches the amount to be processed, the adjusting component can drive the support frame away from the feeder. At this time, the support frame will drive the hopper to move synchronously, and the limit baffle will automatically fall from the sleeve plate to block the discharge port, preventing the tea leaves from continuing to be discharged. When the support frame drives the hopper to move, the gear will be driven to rotate inside the guide component. The two sides of the hopper are connected to the gear through the rotating shaft. At this time, the gear can synchronously drive the hopper to flip, so that the tea leaves inside the hopper can be evenly poured into the strip-forming machine for processing during the movement.

[0009] Preferably, an inclined sliding plate is fixedly installed on the lower outer wall of the discharge port, and a limiting rotating tooth is installed between the discharge port and the inner cavity of the feeder. A drive motor is installed at one end of the limiting rotating tooth, and the drive motor is installed on the outer side of the feeder.

[0010] Based on the above features: the tea leaves discharged from the outlet will be guided out by the inclined slide plate, and when the limiting baffle descends and blocks the outlet, the inclined slide plate can provide support and limit below the limiting baffle.

[0011] Preferably, the sleeve has a hollow structure inside, an opening at the lower end of the sleeve, and a buffer spring is fixedly installed at the upper end of the inner cavity of the sleeve.

[0012] Based on the above features: the limit baffle can be adjusted by lifting and lowering through the opening. When the limit baffle is lifted and retracted into the hollow sleeve, the buffer spring will be squeezed and deformed. When the adjustment component drives the support frame and hopper away from the feeder, the buffer spring will drive the limit baffle to move down to block the discharge port.

[0013] Preferably, a sloping bottom plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the limiting baffle, connecting rods are symmetrically installed at the lower ends of both sides of the limiting baffle, a disc is installed at the end of the connecting rod away from the limiting baffle, and anti-detachment plates are symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper end of the limiting baffle.

[0014] Based on the above characteristics: when the upper end of the support frame lifts the disc, the disc will drive the limit baffle to move upward through the connecting rod. When the support frame moves away from below the disc, the buffer spring will automatically rebound and the limit baffle will move downward.

[0015] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes a fixed base and a rodless cylinder mounted on the lower middle end of the fixed base, with a movable slider slidably connected to the rodless cylinder.

[0016] Based on the above features: one side of the movable slider is connected to the lower end of one side of the support frame. When the rodless cylinder is activated to drive the movable slider to move, the slider will synchronously drive the support frame and the hopper to move.

[0017] Preferably, the guide assembly includes a connecting plate and a guide groove formed in the middle of the connecting plate, and the lower inner wall of the guide groove is fitted with protruding teeth.

[0018] Based on the above characteristics: when the support frame drives the hopper and gear to be below the discharge port, the gear will not contact the convex tooth. At this time, the open end of the hopper will be vertically upward. When the support frame drives the hopper and gear to move away from the feeder, the gear will mesh with the convex tooth. Then the gear will drive the hopper to flip, which makes it convenient for the hopper to pour out the tea leaves inside during the movement, so that the poured tea leaves can fall evenly into the tea-stripping machine.

[0019] Preferably, an L-shaped bracket is fixedly installed on one side of the upper end of the support frame, and a cam is installed on one side of the upper end of the L-shaped bracket.

[0020] Based on the above characteristics: when the support frame drives the hopper to be below the discharge port, the L-shaped bracket will push the disc upward through the cam. When the support frame drives the hopper to move away from the feeder, the L-shaped bracket will simultaneously drive the cam to move and dislodge the disc. At this time, the buffer spring will automatically rebound and the limit baffle will move down to block the discharge port.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] 1. When the support frame moves the hopper below the discharge port, the tea leaves in the feeder can fall into the hopper through the discharge port for collection. When the weight of the tea leaves in the hopper reaches the amount to be processed, the rodless cylinder is activated to move the support frame, hopper, and gear away from the feeder. Since the gear is limited in the guide groove in the middle of the connecting plate, when the support frame moves, the gear will mesh with the convex teeth. Subsequently, the gear will drive the hopper to flip, so that the tea leaves in the hopper can be poured evenly into the tea-stripping machine, avoiding uneven pouring and accumulation of tea leaves.

[0023] 2. When the hopper moves below the discharge port, the L-shaped bracket will push the disc upward through the cam. Then, the disc will drive the limit baffle to move upward through the connecting rod, compressing and deforming the buffer spring. At this time, the discharge port will be exposed. When the support frame moves away from the feeder, the cam will fall off from below the disc, and the buffer spring will automatically rebound. The limit baffle will move downward to cover the discharge port, preventing tea leaves from continuing to be discharged outward through the discharge port when the hopper moves away from below the discharge port.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0030] See attached document Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an auxiliary feeding structure for a tea leaf straightening machine, including a straightening machine 1 and a feeder 2. The feeder 2 is located on one side of the outer end of the straightening machine 1 (the upper end of the feeder 2 is provided with a feed inlet and a top cover, and tea leaves can be fed into the feeder 2 through the feed inlet, and then the top cover can be closed to cover the feed inlet). The feeder 2 has a discharge port 3 on the side near the straightening machine 1. A sleeve plate 4 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the side of the feeder 2 near the discharge port 3. A limit baffle 5 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the sleeve plate 4. Adjustment components 6 are installed above both ends of the straightening machine 1. A guide component 7 is installed on the upper end of the adjustment component 6. A receiving component 8 is installed in the middle of the guide component 7. The receiving component 8 is located above the straightening machine 1.

[0031] The receiving assembly 8 includes a hopper 81 and support frames 82 symmetrically installed on both sides of the hopper 81 (a weighing sensor is installed at the bottom of the hopper 81, which is electrically connected to the display terminal; it is not shown in the figure, but is the prior art, and is explained here to facilitate weighing the tea leaves falling into the hopper 81). A gear 83 is installed on the upper end of the side of the support frame 82 away from the hopper 81, and a caster wheel 84 is installed at the bottom of the support frame 82.

[0032] When the feeder 2 needs to discharge tea leaves, the adjusting component 6 can move the receiving component 8 below the discharge port 3. At this time, the opening end of the hopper 81 will be vertically upward, and the upper part of the support frame 82 will push the limiting baffle 5 upward and retract it into the sleeve 4. The discharge port 3 will also leak out. During this process, the feeder 2 can discharge tea leaves through the discharge port 3. The discharged tea leaves will fall into the hopper 81. At this time, the weighing sensor can weigh the tea leaves in the hopper 81. When the weight reaches the amount to be processed, the adjusting component 6 can drive the support frame 82 away from the feeder 2. At this time, the support frame 82 will drive the hopper 81 to move synchronously, and the universal wheel 84 can perform auxiliary rolling. The limiting baffle 5 will automatically fall from the sleeve 4. The discharge port 3 is blocked to prevent tea leaves from continuing to be discharged. When the support frame 82 moves the hopper 81, the gear 83 will be driven to rotate inside the guide assembly 7. The two sides of the hopper 81 are connected to the gear 83 through the rotating shaft. At this time, the gear 83 can synchronously drive the hopper 81 to flip, so that the tea leaves inside the hopper 81 can be evenly poured into the stripping machine 1 for processing during the movement. When the adjusting component 6 moves the support frame 82 and the hopper 81 back, the gear 83 will be driven to reverse inside the guide assembly 7, and the hopper 81 will also be driven to rotate so that its open end faces upward. When the hopper 81 moves below the discharge port 3, the support frame 82 will push up the limit baffle 5 again, so that the tea leaves can fall into the hopper 81 through the discharge port 3.

[0033] Preferably, a sloping slide plate 31 is fixedly installed on the lower outer wall of the discharge port 3, and a limiting rotating tooth 32 is installed in the discharge port 3 and the inner cavity of the feeder 2. A drive motor 33 is installed at one end of the limiting rotating tooth 32, and the drive motor 33 is installed on the outer side of the feeder 2.

[0034] After the drive motor 33 starts, it can drive the limiting tooth 32 to rotate, which facilitates the tea leaves to be discharged. This is the existing technology and will not be described in detail. At this time, the tea leaves discharged from the outlet 3 will be guided out through the inclined slide plate 31. When the limiting baffle 5 descends and blocks the outlet 3, the inclined slide plate 31 can provide support and limit below the limiting baffle 5.

[0035] Preferably, the sleeve 4 has a hollow structure inside, with an opening 41 at the lower end of the sleeve 4, and a buffer spring 42 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the inner cavity of the sleeve 4.

[0036] The limit baffle 5 can be adjusted by moving up and down through the opening 41. When the limit baffle 5 is pushed up and retracted into the hollow sleeve 4, the buffer spring 42 will be squeezed and deformed. When the adjusting component 6 drives the support frame 82 and the hopper 81 away from the feeder 2, the buffer spring 42 will drive the limit baffle 5 to move down to cover the discharge port 3.

[0037] Preferably, a sloping bottom plate 51 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the limiting baffle 5, and connecting rods 52 are symmetrically installed at the lower ends of both sides of the limiting baffle 5. A disc 53 is installed at the end of the connecting rod 52 away from the limiting baffle 5, and anti-detachment plates 54 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper end of the limiting baffle 5.

[0038] When the upper end of the support frame 82 lifts the disc 53, the disc 53 will drive the limiting baffle 5 to move upward through the connecting rod 52. When the support frame 82 moves away from the bottom of the disc 53, the buffer spring 42 will automatically rebound and move the limiting baffle 5 downward. The inclined bottom plate 51 at the bottom of the limiting baffle 5 and the inclined slide plate 31 can fit tightly together to prevent gaps from being left between the limiting baffle 5 and the inclined slide plate 31 after the limiting baffle 5 descends. The anti-detachment plate 54 prevents the limiting baffle 5 from falling off the opening 41.

[0039] Preferably, the adjustment component 6 includes a fixed base 61 and a rodless cylinder 62 mounted on the lower middle end of the fixed base 61, with a movable slider 63 slidably connected to the rodless cylinder 62.

[0040] One side of the movable slider 63 is connected to the lower end of one side of the support frame 82. When the rodless cylinder 62 is activated to drive the movable slider 63 to move, the movable slider 63 will synchronously drive the support frame 82 and the hopper 81 to move.

[0041] Preferably, the guide assembly 7 includes a connecting plate 71 and a guide groove 72 formed in the middle of the connecting plate 71, and a tooth 73 is installed on the inner wall of the lower end of the guide groove 72.

[0042] The connecting plate 71 is fixed above the fixed base 61, and the gear 83 is limited inside the guide groove 72 in the middle of the connecting plate 71. When the support frame 82 drives the hopper 81 and the gear 83 to be below the discharge port 3, the gear 83 will not contact the tooth 73. At this time, the open end of the hopper 81 will be vertically upward. When the support frame 82 drives the hopper 81 and the gear 83 to move away from the feeder 2, the gear 83 will mesh with the tooth 73. Then the gear 83 will drive the hopper 81 to flip over, so that the tea leaves inside the hopper 81 can be poured out during the movement, and the poured tea leaves can fall evenly into the tea-stripping machine 1.

[0043] Preferably, an L-shaped bracket 821 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper end of the support frame 82, and a cam 822 is installed on one side of the upper end of the L-shaped bracket 821.

[0044] When the support frame 82 moves the hopper 81 below the discharge port 3, the L-shaped bracket 821 will push the disc 53 upward via the cam 822. The disc 53 will then move the limiting baffle 5 upward via the connecting rod 52, allowing tea leaves to be discharged from the discharge port 3. When the support frame 82 moves the hopper 81 away from the feeder 2, the L-shaped bracket 821 will simultaneously move the cam 822 to dislodge the disc 53. At this time, the buffer spring 42 will automatically rebound, causing the limiting baffle 5 to move downward and block the discharge port 3.

[0045] The usage process of this utility model is as follows: When the support frame 82 drives the hopper 81 to be below the discharge port 3, the opening end of the hopper 81 will be vertically upward, and the L-shaped bracket 821 will push the disc 53 upward through the cam 822. At this time, the disc 53 will drive the limit baffle 5 to move upward through the connecting rod 52 and leak out of the discharge port 3. Then, the tea leaves in the feeder 2 can be discharged out through the discharge port 3, and the discharged tea leaves will fall into the hopper 81 for collection. During this process, the weighing sensor can weigh the tea leaves in the hopper 81. When the weight reaches the amount to be processed, the rodless cylinder 62 is activated to drive the moving slider 63 to move. The moving slider 63 will synchronously drive the support frame 82, the hopper 81 and the gear 83 to move away from the feeder 2. At this time, the cam 822 will fall off from below the disc 53, and the buffer spring 42 will automatically rebound to the limit baffle. The plate 5 moves down to cover the discharge port 3. Since the gear 83 is limited inside the guide groove 72 in the middle of the connecting plate 71, when the support frame 82 moves, the gear 83 will mesh with the convex tooth 73. Then the gear 83 will drive the hopper 81 to flip, so that the tea in the hopper 81 can be poured downward into the tea-scraping machine 1. After all the tea is poured out, the rodless cylinder 62 can drive the support frame 82, hopper 81 and gear 83 to move back by moving the slider 63. At this time, the gear 83 will mesh with the convex tooth 73 in the opposite direction, so that the opening end of the hopper 81 can face upward again to reach below the discharge port 3. At the same time, the L-shaped bracket 821 will also push the disc 53 upward again through the cam 822, so that the disc 53 will drive the limit baffle 5 to move upward through the connecting rod 52 to expose the discharge port 3. Finally, the tea in the feeder 2 can be discharged outward through the discharge port 3 and fall into the hopper 81.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art may modify this utility model or modify it into an equivalent technical solution using the technical solutions described above. Therefore, any simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made based on the technical solutions of this utility model are within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
