[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When in use, the operator holds the handle and starts the stepper motor via the battery. The stepper motor drives the first bevel gear to rotate. The first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear, thereby changing the transmission direction. The second bevel gear and the long shaft transmit power to the synchronous pulley. The synchronous pulley drives the synchronous belt to rotate. The rotation of the synchronous pulley drives the main shaft to rotate. The rotation of the main shaft drives the baffle to rotate synchronously. At this time, the comb teeth are aligned with the branches of the tea tree, and the outer shell is moved directly over. Because the baffle rotates, the disassembly blade drives the clamping teeth to hook the top of the tea leaves. The disassembly blade cuts the top branches of the tea tree, thus automatically picking the tea leaves. The picked tea leaves enter the collection box through the tea leaf outlet. The operator opens the drawer to collect the tea leaves.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea technology, and in particular to a mechanized tea picking device. Background Technology
[0002] Tea is a beverage made from the tender leaves or buds of the tea plant through specific processing techniques, and it is one of the oldest natural beverages in the world. Tea not only has health benefits such as refreshing the mind, aiding digestion, and providing antioxidants, but it also carries rich cultural connotations.
[0003] In existing technologies, traditional hand-picking of tea relies entirely on skilled labor, requiring pickers to accurately identify standard tender shoots such as "one bud and one leaf" or "one bud and two leaves" to ensure the grade and quality of the tea. However, with the acceleration of global industrialization and the migration of rural labor to cities, a growing shortage of tea-picking labor and an aging population have led to a continuous rise in labor costs. This contradiction severely restricts the large-scale, standardized, and sustainable development of the tea industry. Therefore, developing efficient and reliable mechanized tea-picking technology has become an inevitable choice to break through industry bottlenecks and achieve modern tea production. Hand-picking is extremely inefficient; a skilled worker can only pick a small amount of fresh leaves per day. During peak picking seasons such as spring tea, the demand for labor is concentrated, and the problems of difficulty in hiring workers and high labor costs are particularly prominent, directly driving up the production cost of tea.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a mechanized tea-picking device is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a mechanized tea-picking device to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0006] A mechanized tea-picking device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing. A main shaft is movably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the housing. Two baffles are movably sleeved on the outer surface of the main shaft. Multiple tea inlets are opened on the outer surface of each of the two baffles. Removal blades are detachably connected inside each of the multiple tea inlets. Multiple clamping teeth are fixedly connected to the outer surface of each of the multiple removal blades. A third bolt is threaded to the inside of each of the multiple removal blades. Second bolts are threaded to both sides of each of the multiple removal blades. A first bolt is threaded to the top of each of the multiple removal blades.
[0007] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the baffle rotates and the disassembly blade drives the clamping teeth to hook the top of the tea leaves. The disassembly blade cuts the top branches of the tea tree, thereby automatically picking the tea leaves. The disassembly blade and the clamping teeth can be separated by rotating the third bolt and the first bolt. The disassembly blade can be separated from the inside of the tea inlet by rotating the second bolt, so as to facilitate maintenance when not in use.
[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model: the outer surface of the outer shell is fixedly connected with comb teeth, and the top of the outer shell is fixedly installed with a handle.
[0009] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the comb teeth are inserted into the branches of the tea tree, which makes it easier to hold the teeth and remove the blades to cut the tea leaves, and the handle is provided to make it convenient for users to pick up.
[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, it also includes multiple synchronous pulleys, which are divided into two groups on average. The outer surface of each group of synchronous pulleys is connected to a synchronous belt, and the opposite ends of the main shaft are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of two of the synchronous pulleys.
[0011] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the synchronous pulley is driven by the synchronous belt to drive the main shaft to rotate synchronously.
[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model: each of the other two synchronous pulleys is fixedly connected to a long shaft on one side, the outer surfaces of the two long shafts are movably connected to bearings, and the opposite ends of the two long shafts are fixedly connected to a second bevel gear.
[0013] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the rotation of the long shaft provides the force for the rotation of the synchronous belt pulley, and the second bevel gear connected to one end of the long shaft facilitates the provision of rotational power.
[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model: a motor platform is fixedly connected to one side of the outer shell, a stepper motor is fixedly installed on one side of the motor platform, the output shaft of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear, and two second bevel gears are meshed with the outer surface of the first bevel gear.
[0015] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the output shaft of the motor platform drives the first bevel gear to rotate, the first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear to change the transmission direction, and the second bevel gear and the long shaft transmit power to the synchronous pulley.
[0016] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model: the interior of the outer shell is provided with a tea inlet, the bottom of the outer shell is provided with a tea outlet, a collection box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer shell, and a drawer is slidably connected inside the collection box.
[0017] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that: the tea leaves enter the tea inlet, and are collected from the collection box into the drawer by the cutting of the disassembled blade, and the user can open the drawer to take out the tea leaves inside.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When in use, the operator holds the handle and starts the stepper motor via the battery. The stepper motor drives the first bevel gear to rotate. The first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear, thereby changing the transmission direction. The second bevel gear and the long shaft transmit power to the synchronous pulley. The synchronous pulley drives the synchronous belt to rotate. The rotation of the synchronous pulley drives the main shaft to rotate. The rotation of the main shaft drives the baffle to rotate synchronously. At this time, the comb teeth are aligned with the branches of the tea tree, and the outer shell is moved directly over. Because the baffle rotates, the disassembly blade drives the clamping teeth to hook the top of the tea leaves. The disassembly blade cuts the top branches of the tea tree, thus automatically picking the tea leaves. The picked tea leaves enter the collection box through the tea leaf outlet. The operator opens the drawer to collect the tea leaves.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When in use, some large leaves will also be rolled into it, and the large leaves need to be sorted and processed later. After a day's work of disassembling the blade and clamping teeth, the blade and clamping teeth can be separated by rotating the third bolt and the first bolt. The blade can also be separated from the inside of the tea inlet by rotating the second bolt, so as to facilitate maintenance when not in use and prevent the blade and clamping teeth from becoming difficult to cut after repeated use. This solves the problems of extremely low efficiency of manual tea picking and easy failure of mechanical equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0027] refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the device includes a housing 3. A main shaft 12 is movably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the housing 3. Two baffles 5 are movably fitted onto the outer surface of the main shaft 12. Multiple tea inlets 20 are opened on the outer surface of each baffle 5. Removal blades 2 are detachably connected inside each of the multiple tea inlets 20. Multiple clamping teeth 1 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of each of the multiple removal blades 2. A third bolt 14 is threaded into the interior of each of the multiple removal blades 2. Second bolts 13 are threaded into both sides of each of the multiple removal blades 2. A first bolt 11 is threaded into the top of each of the multiple removal blades 2. The baffles 5 rotate, causing the clamping teeth 1 to hook the top of the tea leaves through the removal blades 2. The removal blades 2 then cut the top branches of the tea plant, thus automatically harvesting the tea leaves. The removal blades 2 and clamping teeth 1 can be separated by rotating the third bolt 14 and the first bolt 11. The removal blades 2 can also be separated from the tea inlets 20 by rotating the second bolt 13, facilitating maintenance when not in use.
[0028] refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, comb teeth 19 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the outer shell 3, and a handle 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer shell 3. The comb teeth 19 are inserted into the branches of the tea tree to facilitate the clamping of the teeth 1 and the removal of the blades 2 to cut the tea leaves. The handle 15 is convenient for the user to pick up.
[0029] refer to Figures 1 to 4As shown, it also includes multiple synchronous pulleys 7, which are divided into two groups. The outer surface of each group of synchronous pulleys 7 is connected to a synchronous belt 6. The opposite ends of the main shaft 12 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of two of the synchronous pulleys 7. The synchronous pulleys 7 are subjected to rotational force and drive the main shaft 12 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 6.
[0030] refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, each of the other two synchronous pulleys 7 is fixedly connected to a long shaft 10 on one side. The outer surfaces of the two long shafts 10 are movably connected to bearings 9. Each of the two long shafts 10 is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear 17 at one end. The rotation of the long shafts 10 provides the force for the rotation of the synchronous pulleys 7. The second bevel gear 17 is connected to one end of the long shafts 10 to facilitate the provision of rotational power.
[0031] refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a motor platform 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 3, and a stepper motor 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the motor platform 18. The output shaft of the stepper motor 4 is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 8, and two second bevel gears 17 are meshed with the outer surface of the first bevel gear 8. The output shaft of the motor platform 18 drives the first bevel gear 8 to rotate. The first bevel gear 8 meshes with the second bevel gears 17 to change the transmission direction. The second bevel gears 17 and the long shaft 10 transmit power to the synchronous pulley 7.
[0032] refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the inside of the outer shell 3 is provided with a tea inlet 20, and the bottom of the outer shell 3 is provided with a tea outlet 21. A collection box 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer shell 3. A drawer 16 is slidably connected inside the collection box 22. The tea leaves enter the tea inlet 20 and are collected from the collection box 22 into the drawer 16 by the cutting of the disassembly blade 2. The user can pull open the drawer 16 to take out the tea leaves inside.
[0033] Working principle: During use, the operator holds handle 15 and starts stepper motor 4 via battery. Stepper motor 4 drives first bevel gear 8 to rotate. First bevel gear 8 meshes with second bevel gear 17, changing the transmission direction. Second bevel gear 17 and long shaft 10 transmit power to synchronous pulley 7. Synchronous pulley 7 drives synchronous belt 6 to rotate. The rotation of synchronous pulley 7 drives main shaft 12 to rotate. The rotation of main shaft 12 drives baffle 5 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the comb teeth 19 are aligned with the branches of the tea tree, and the outer casing 3 is moved directly over. Because the baffle 5 rotates, the disassembly blade 2 drives the clamping teeth 1 to hook the top of the tea leaves. The disassembly blade 2 then cuts the top branches of the tea tree, thus... The automated tea picking process involves harvesting tea leaves, which then enter the collection box 22 through the tea outlet 21. Workers open the drawer 16 to collect the tea leaves. During the picking process, some large leaves may also get caught in the process, requiring subsequent sorting. After a day's work involving disassembling the blade 2 and clamping teeth 1, the blade 2 and clamping teeth 1 can be separated by rotating the third bolt 14 and the first bolt 11. Furthermore, the blade 2 can be separated from the tea inlet 20 by rotating the second bolt 13. This facilitates maintenance when not in use and prevents the blade 2 and clamping teeth 1 from becoming difficult to cut after repeated use. This solves the problems of extremely low efficiency in manual tea picking and the susceptibility of mechanical equipment to malfunction.
