Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea processing equipment, specifically to a tea leaf straightening machine. Background Technology
[0002] Tea leaves, commonly known as tea, generally include the leaves and buds of the tea plant. Other names include cha, jia, ming, and chuan. Tea contains catechins, cholesterol, caffeine, inositol, folic acid, and pantothenic acid, all beneficial to health. Tea processing, also known as "tea making," involves processing fresh tea leaves through various steps to create various semi-finished or finished tea products. Tea shaping is a crucial step in tea processing, referring to the process of shaping the tea leaves into strips. The methods vary slightly depending on the type of tea, but mainly include two techniques: grasping and tossing. The purpose is to shape the leaves, remove moisture, reveal the fine hairs, and enhance the aroma.
[0003] Existing tea leaf straightening machines require manual operation to add tea leaves evenly into the straightening trough at regular intervals during the straightening process, which reduces work efficiency, makes it inconvenient to add tea leaves in a quantitative manner, and easily causes some tea leaves to break during the straightening process, affecting the overall quality. They are also inconvenient to sieve and filter broken tea leaves, and are difficult to collect and clean. Therefore, we propose a new tea leaf straightening machine. Utility Model Content

A sliding plate 22 is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw 20. The other end of the sliding plate 22 is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rod 21. A partition 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding plate 22 to prevent excessive tea leaves from being added.
[0027] This utility model discloses a tea leaf straightening machine. Two fixing blocks 24 are fixedly installed at both ends of one side of the bottom of the storage tank 8. A rotating shaft 25 is rotatably arranged between the two fixing blocks 24. A load-bearing plate 26 is fixedly installed on the shaft wall surface of the rotating shaft 25.

[0028] This utility model discloses a tea leaf straightening machine. One end of the storage trough 8 is provided with a limiting hole 28. The partition plate 23 is slidably connected to the limiting hole 28. A second motor 29 is fixedly installed on the other side of the mounting plate 19.

[0029] This utility model discloses a tea leaf straightening machine. A discharge port 31 is provided through one side of the fixed frame 2. A through groove 32 is provided on one side of the fixed frame 2 with multiple discharge ports 31. A discharge gate 33 is slidably provided inside the through groove 32. Telescopic rods 34 are fixedly installed at both ends inside the fixed frame 2. The moving ends of the telescopic rods 34 are fixedly connected to the bottom of both ends of the discharge gate 33. A ceramic heating plate 35 is fixedly installed inside the fixed frame 2 to facilitate the discharge of tea leaves from the straightening groove 3.
[0030] This utility model discloses a tea leaf straightening machine. The base 1 is equipped with a controller 36. The controller 36 is electrically connected to a pressure sensor 27, a first motor 15, a second motor 29, a third motor 30, a ceramic heating plate 35, and a telescopic rod 34, thereby improving the automation level of the device.
[0031] In use, the tea leaves to be processed are placed in the storage trough 8. When processing is required, the controller 36 controls the second motor 29 to start, which drives the screw 20 to rotate. This causes the sliding plate 22, which is threadedly connected to the screw 20, to slide on the sliding rod 21. The partition 23 at the bottom of the sliding plate 22 moves accordingly, opening the storage trough 8. The tea leaves then fall onto the surface of the pressure sensor 27. The pressure sensor 27 on the load-bearing plate 26 monitors the weight of the tea leaves in real time. When the amount of tea leaves in the storage trough 8 reaches the preset quantitative value, the pressure sensor 27 transmits a signal to the controller 36, which controls the third motor 30 to drive the rotating shaft 25 to rotate. The rotating shaft 25 then drives the load-bearing plate 26 to rotate, causing the tea leaves to fall into the processing trough 3. Then, the controller 36 controls the first motor 15 to start, which drives the eccentric wheel 14 to rotate. The fixed column 16 on the eccentric wheel 14 drives the connecting column 17 to move left and right, which in turn drives the fixed column 17 through the universal ball seat 18. The fixed frame 2 moves because the limiting post 5 at the bottom of the fixed frame 2 slides in the limiting groove 4 of the base 1, causing the fixed frame 2 to reciprocate. This causes the tea-shaping groove 3 inside the fixed frame 2 to move accordingly, performing a tea-shaping operation. During the tea-shaping process, the ceramic heating plate 35 works to heat the tea in the tea-shaping groove 3 to achieve the purpose of shaping, dehydration, revealing the downy hairs, and enhancing the aroma. After the tea is shaped, the controller 36 controls the telescopic rod 34 to extend, causing the discharge door 33 to slide in the through groove 32, opening the discharge port 31. The shaped tea is discharged from the discharge port 31 and enters the collection frame 9 under the guidance of the baffle 10. The whole tea leaves remain above the filter box 11, while the broken tea leaves are filtered into the collection box 12. The collection box 12 can slide out from the bottom of the collection frame 9 for cleaning. After the discharge is completed, the controller 36 controls the telescopic rod 34 to shorten, causing the discharge door 33 to reset and closing the discharge port 31, waiting for the next tea-shaping operation.
[0032] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
