Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding mechanism technology, and in particular to a circular vibrator for tea processing. Background Technology

[0002] The circular vibratory tea maker is one of the feeding mechanisms in automatic tea packaging equipment. It receives the tea initially fed by the upper feeding mechanism and then slowly feeds the tea out at a certain speed. It is a mechanism used to control the feeding speed. Traditional circular vibratory tea makers have a detection probe on top to control the switch of the upper feeding mechanism, thereby controlling the thickness of the tea on the circular vibratory tea maker and thus controlling the feeding speed. However, this detection method is affected by the color of the tea. Different colored tea leaves can be detected at different thicknesses by the probe, resulting in uneven feeding of the vibratory plate. Therefore, a new type of circular vibratory tea maker is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0003] Other features and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of this invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the description and other accompanying drawings.

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a circular vibrator for tea leaves.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is: a tea-growing vibratory feeder, comprising a collecting conical disc, a spiral channel, and a discharging channel. The spiral channel is fixedly connected above the collecting conical disc, with its lower inlet extending into the collecting conical disc and fitting against the inner wall of the collecting conical disc. The discharging channel is located below the upper outlet of the spiral channel. A detection probe for detecting the thickness of the tea leaves is provided on the vibratory feeder, and the detection probe irradiates the tea leaves laterally.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the collecting conical disc is used to receive the tea leaves fed from the upper feeding mechanism. Its conical shape causes the tea leaves to gather at the edge. As the disc vibrates and rotates, the tea leaves move upwards into the spiral channel. Under the action of vibration, they rise continuously along the spiral channel and are discharged from the upper outlet, falling onto the discharge channel. Finally, they are discharged along the discharge channel. A detection probe is used to detect the thickness of the tea leaves. When the thickness exceeds a preset value, the upper feeding mechanism stops operating, allowing the tea leaves to be discharged slowly as needed. The detection probe is set on the side wall of the vibrating disc, allowing for side-view detection of the tea leaves. This method directly detects the thickness of the tea leaves, avoiding the influence of the tea leaves' color when the probe shines directly from above the disc, which could cause the detected thickness to exceed the set value.

[0007] Preferably, the side wall of the spiral channel has a socket for inserting the detection probe, and the socket is located near the lower entrance of the spiral channel. This invention allows the detection probe to be inserted from the side of the spiral channel through the side socket, enabling side illumination of the tea leaves.

[0008] Preferably, the discharge channel is fixedly connected to a fixing plate, and the fixing plate has a fixing hole for the detection probe to pass through. This invention utilizes the fixing plate and the fixing hole to allow the detection probe to be clamped onto the fixing plate by a nut, thus achieving the fixation of the detection probe.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the discharge channel by welding.

[0010] Preferably, the detection probe is an infrared diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor switch.

[0011] Preferably, the discharge channel is equipped with a dispersing mechanism for dispersing tea leaves.

[0012] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a plurality of levers, which are spaced apart from each other, and one end of each lever is fixedly connected to the discharge channel. All levers are located below the upper outlet of the spiral channel. In this invention, there is a height difference between the discharge channel and the spiral channel. When the tea leaves are discharged from the spiral channel, they fall through the levers, which disperse the tea leaves, preventing them from piling up and ensuring even discharge.

[0013] Preferably, the discharge channel is fixedly connected to the collecting cone disc via a connecting plate.

[0014] Preferably, the two ends of the connecting disc are welded to the discharge channel and the collecting cone disc, respectively.

[0015] Preferably, the collecting cone disc has a connecting hole at its center for bolts to pass through. This invention utilizes the connecting hole to allow the collecting cone disc to be connected to the frame by bolts.

[0016] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. The detection probe is set on the side wall of the vibrating plate, so that the tea leaves are detected by side illumination. In this way, the thickness of the tea leaves can be detected directly, thus avoiding the influence of the color of the tea leaves when the detection probe shines directly on the vibrating plate from above, which would cause the detected thickness to exceed the set thickness.

[0018] 2. There is a drop between the discharge channel and the spiral channel. When the tea leaves are discharged from the spiral channel, they fall through the lever and the lever disperses the tea leaves, preventing them from piling up and ensuring that the tea leaves are discharged evenly.

[0032] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a tea-processing vibrator includes a vibrating plate, which comprises a collecting conical plate 1, a spiral channel 2, and a discharging channel 3. The spiral channel 2 is fixedly connected above the collecting conical plate 1, and the lower inlet 4 of the spiral channel 2 extends into the collecting conical plate 1 and is attached to the inner wall of the collecting conical plate 1. The discharging channel 3 is located below the upper outlet 5 of the spiral channel 2. A detection probe 6 for detecting the thickness of the tea leaves is provided on the vibrating plate, and the detection probe 6 irradiates the tea leaves from the side.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the collecting cone disc 1 is used to receive the tea leaves fed from the upper feeding mechanism. Its cone shape causes the tea leaves to gather at the edge. As the disc vibrates and rotates, the tea leaves move upwards into the spiral channel 2. Under the action of vibration, they rise continuously along the spiral channel 2, then are discharged from the upper outlet 5 of the spiral channel 2 and fall onto the discharge channel 3, finally being discharged along the discharge channel 3. The detection probe 6 is used to detect the thickness of the tea leaves. When the thickness exceeds a preset value, the upper feeding mechanism stops operating, allowing the tea leaves to be discharged slowly as needed. The detection probe 6 is set on the side wall of the vibrating disc, thus detecting the tea leaves from the side. This method allows for direct detection of the tea leaf thickness, avoiding the influence of the tea leaf's color when the detection probe 6 shines directly from above the vibrating disc, which could cause the detected thickness to exceed the set thickness.

[0034] The spiral channel 2 has a side wall with an insertion hole 7 for inserting a detection probe 6, located near the lower inlet 4 of the spiral channel 2. This invention allows the detection probe 6 to be inserted from the side of the spiral channel 2 via the side insertion hole 7, enabling side illumination of the tea leaves. A fixing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the discharge channel 3, and the fixing plate 8 has a fixing hole for the detection probe 6 to pass through. This invention utilizes the fixing plate 8 and the fixing hole to allow the detection probe 6 to be clamped onto the fixing plate 8 with a nut, thus securing the detection probe 6. The fixing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the discharge channel 3 by welding. The detection probe 6 is an infrared diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor switch.

[0035] The discharge channel 3 is equipped with a dispersing mechanism for spreading the tea leaves. This dispersing mechanism includes several levers 9, spaced apart from each other, with one end of each lever 9 fixedly connected to the discharge channel 3. All levers 9 are located below the upper outlet 5 of the spiral channel 2. In this invention, there is a height difference between the discharge channel 3 and the spiral channel 2. When the tea leaves are discharged from the spiral channel 2, they fall through the levers 9, which disperse the tea leaves, preventing them from piling up and ensuring even discharge.

[0036] The discharge channel 3 is fixedly connected to the collecting conical disc 1 via a connecting plate 10. Both ends of the connecting plate are welded to the discharge channel 3 and the collecting conical disc 1, respectively. A connecting hole 11 for bolts to pass through is provided in the center of the collecting conical disc 1. This invention utilizes the connecting hole 11 to allow the collecting conical disc 1 to be connected to the frame via bolts.

[0037] It should be noted that many specific details have been set forth in the above description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
