Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea processing equipment, and more specifically, to a loose tea device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, traditional tea conveying devices generally rely on a single conveyor belt for transportation. This linear conveying method cannot effectively spread the tea leaves out evenly, which in turn affects the quality of subsequent deep processing of the tea and is detrimental to the quality of the tea.
[0003] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a tea-dispensing device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A loose tea device includes a shell, an air duct, a stacking box, and a discharge channel. A blower is installed inside the shell. The air outlet of the shell is connected to the air duct and to one side of the bottom of the stacking box via the air duct. The bottom of the stacking box on the side away from the air duct is connected to the discharge channel. The air duct includes an air inlet, an air outlet, and connecting sections connected to the air inlet and the air outlet respectively. The air inlet is located below the air outlet, and the opening of the air inlet is larger than the opening of the air outlet. The connecting section has a C-shaped structure and spirals outward from the air inlet, gradually tapering towards the air outlet.
[0007] Furthermore, the connecting section includes a connected upper plate, front plate, lower plate, and rear plate. The upper plate has a C-shaped structure, and its width gradually increases from the air inlet to the air outlet. The lower plate has a C-shaped structure, and its width gradually increases from the air inlet to the air outlet. The front plate gradually bends outward from the air inlet to the air outlet, and its width gradually decreases from the air inlet to the air outlet. The rear plate gradually bends outward from the air inlet to the air outlet, and its width gradually decreases from the air inlet to the air outlet.
[0008] Furthermore, the stacking box has an inverted trapezoidal structure, with an open upper end and an upper end that curves inward to form an arc.
[0009] Furthermore, the discharge channel is curved upward and inward to form an arc shape, and the upper end of the discharge channel is open.
[0010] Furthermore, a guide plate is installed at the discharge port of the discharge channel, and the direction of the airflow discharged from the discharge channel can be adjusted by rotating the guide plate.
[0011] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is installed on the side of the guide plate facing the discharge channel. One end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the discharge channel, and the other end of the rotating shaft extends to the outside of the discharge channel and is connected to a connecting plate. A handle is installed on the connecting plate. An installation plate is installed on the discharge channel corresponding to the position of the connecting plate. A wing bolt is threaded onto the installation plate. An arc-shaped groove for the wing bolt to slide is opened on the connecting plate. A nut is installed on the wing bolt, and the nut is located between the connecting plate and the installation plate.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. In this utility model, outside air flows into the air duct under the action of the blower, flows along the air duct to the bottom of the stacking box, and blows the tea leaves located at the bottom of the stacking box. The tea leaves are transferred to the discharge channel under the action of the airflow, and blown upward through the discharge port of the discharge channel. The tea leaves are dispersed and fall onto the conveyor belt under the action of gravity, achieving the effect of spreading the tea leaves flat.
[0014] 2. In this utility model, the size difference between the air inlet and the air outlet is used to form a pressure gradient, which, together with the width variation of the C-shaped connecting section, achieves airflow compression and acceleration, making it easier to blow the stacked tea leaves; the progressive outward bending of the front and rear plates makes the airflow at the air outlet uniform, achieving uniform airflow; by setting the air outlet in a long rectangular structure, the airflow forms a flat jet, extending the air delivery distance, making it easier to blow the tea leaves into the feeding channel and blow them upward through the discharge port of the discharge channel.
[0015] 3. In this utility model, a guide plate is installed at the outlet of the discharge channel. By rotating the guide plate, the direction of the air discharged outward from the discharge channel is adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the tea leaves blown upward.

[0023] 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.
[0024] Example: A tea-loosening device, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, it includes a shell 1, an air duct 2, a stacking box 3, and a discharge channel 4. A blower (not shown) is installed inside the shell 1. The shell 1 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The air outlet of the shell 1 is connected to the air duct 2 and is connected to one side of the bottom of the stacking box 3 through the air duct 2. The bottom of the side of the stacking box 3 away from the air duct 2 is connected to the discharge channel 4.
[0025] In use, first place the tea leaves in the stacking bin 3, then start the blower. The blower draws in outside air through the air inlet on the housing 1 and exhausts the air into the air duct 2 through the air outlet on the housing 1. The air flows along the air duct 2 to the bottom of the stacking bin 3, agitating the tea leaves at the bottom. The tea leaves are transferred to the discharge channel 4 by the airflow and blown through the discharge port of the discharge channel 4 to the upper part of the inner cavity of the tea hood 12. Under the action of gravity, the tea leaves fall onto the conveyor belt below the tea hood 12. The blower disperses the tea leaves onto the conveyor belt, achieving the effect of spreading the tea leaves out evenly. It should be noted that the tea hood 12 includes a frame and a net covering the outer surface of the frame.
[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air duct 2 includes an air inlet 21, an air outlet 22, and a connecting section 23 that connects the air inlet 21 and the air outlet 22 respectively. The air inlet 21 is connected to the air outlet end of the housing 1, and the air outlet 22 is connected to the bottom of the stack box 3. The air inlet 21 is located below the air outlet 22, and the opening of the air inlet 21 is larger than the opening of the air outlet 22. In this embodiment, the air inlet 21 has a wide rectangular structure, the air outlet 22 has a long rectangular structure, and the connecting section 23 has a C-shaped structure. The connecting section 23 spirals outward from the air inlet 21 and gradually becomes thinner at the air outlet 22.
[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 3and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting section 23 includes an upper plate 231, a front plate 232, a lower plate 233, and a rear plate 234 connected together. The upper plate 231 has a C-shaped structure, and its width gradually increases from the air inlet 21 to the air outlet 22. The lower plate 233 has a C-shaped structure, and its width gradually increases from the air inlet 21 to the air outlet 22. The front plate 232 gradually bends outward from the air inlet 21 to the air outlet 22, and its width gradually decreases from the air inlet 21 to the air outlet 22. The rear plate 234 gradually bends outward from the air inlet 21 to the air outlet 22, and its width gradually decreases from the air inlet 21 to the air outlet 22.
[0028] The above design utilizes the size difference between the air inlet 21 and the air outlet 22 to create a pressure gradient. Combined with the width variation of the C-shaped connecting section 23, airflow compression and acceleration are achieved, facilitating the blowing of stacked tea leaves. The progressive outward bending of the front plate 232 and the rear plate 234 ensures uniform airflow at the air outlet 22, achieving uniform airflow. By setting the air outlet 22 into a long rectangular structure, the airflow forms a flat jet, extending the air delivery distance and facilitating the blowing of tea leaves into the feeding channel. The tea leaves are then blown into the upper part of the inner cavity of the tea hood 12 through the outlet of the discharge channel 4. Simultaneously, due to the residual rotation of the C-shaped connecting section 23, the jet initially exhibits a slight vortex shape, facilitating the blowing of stacked tea leaves, and subsequently becomes more uniform due to diffusion.
[0029] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the stacking box 3 has an inverted trapezoidal structure. This structure guides the tea leaves to converge towards the center, facilitating airflow transfer. The upper end of the stacking box 3 is open, forming a feed inlet. The lower end of the stacking box 3 curves upward and inward, forming an arc. The arc-shaped lower end guides the tea leaves blown by the airflow, allowing them to smoothly enter the feeding channel. Preferably, the lower end of the stacking box 3 smoothly transitions to the air outlet 22 of the air duct 2.
[0030] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the discharge channel 4 curves upward and inward to form an arc, and its upper end is open to form a discharge port. This design facilitates the transfer of tea leaves within the discharge channel 4 and the flow of air within it. Simultaneously, the airflow blows the tea leaves outward to the upper part of the tea-dispensing cover 12. It should be noted that the air inlet at the bottom of the stacking box 3, the arc-shaped lower surface of the stacking box 3, and the arc-shaped discharge channel 4 work together to ensure that the airflow only flows towards the discharge channel 4 and not towards the inlet of the stacking box 3.
[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, a guide plate 5 is installed at the outlet of the discharge channel 4. By rotating the guide plate 5, the direction of the air discharged from the discharge channel 4 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the tea leaves being blown upwards. This prevents the tea leaves from adhering to the top of the tea hood 12, or from falling onto the conveyor belt due to insufficient upward height.
[0032] Preferably, a rotating shaft 6 is installed on the side of the guide plate 5 facing the discharge channel 4. One end of the rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the discharge channel 4, and the other end of the rotating shaft 6 passes through the discharge channel 4 and extends to the outside of the discharge channel 4. A connecting plate 7 is connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 6, and a handle 8 is installed on the connecting plate 7. In use, by turning the handle 8, the connecting plate 7 is rotated, which drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 6 drives the guide plate 5 to rotate, so that the guide plate 5 rotates around the rotating shaft 6 as the axis.
[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a mounting plate 9 is installed at the position corresponding to the connecting plate 7 in the discharge channel 4. A wing bolt 10 is threaded onto the mounting plate 9. An arc-shaped groove 71 for sliding the wing bolt 10 is provided on the connecting plate 7. A nut 11 is installed on the wing bolt 10, and the nut 11 is located between the connecting plate 7 and the mounting plate 9. In use, the wing bolt 10 is turned to move towards the mounting plate 9, disengaging the nut 11 from the connecting plate 7. The connecting plate 7 is then rotated by turning the handle 8, thereby rotating the guide plate 5. After adjustment, the wing bolt 10 is turned in the opposite direction, moving away from the mounting plate 9, causing the nut 11 to abut against the connecting plate 7. The contact between the nut 11 and the connecting plate 7 constrains the connecting plate 7, thus restricting the guide plate 5.
[0034] Furthermore, the aforementioned loose tea device can be used individually or in combination; when multiple loose tea devices are used in combination, such as Figure 1 As shown, multiple loose tea collection devices are arranged side by side. The discharge channel 4 of one of the loose tea collection devices extends into the stacking box 3 of the adjacent loose tea collection device. Simultaneously, the stacking box 3 of the adjacent loose tea collection device is covered with a loose tea cover 12. The loose tea cover 12 constrains the tea leaves discharged from the discharge channel 4 within its confines, and the tea leaves fall into the stacking box 3 below the loose tea cover 12 under its own weight. The combined use of multiple loose tea collection devices achieves a better effect in spreading the tea leaves evenly.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
