Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea-making machine technology, and in particular to a tea-making swing arm mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of tea preparation, whisking tea, as a traditional and culturally significant method, requires the core principle of thoroughly mixing tea powder and water through stirring to create a fine and lasting foam, thus ensuring the taste and quality of the tea. With the automation of the tea industry, whisking equipment is gradually replacing manual operation, becoming a common tool in commercial settings (such as teahouses and tea shops) and homes. The swing arm mechanism, as the core structure driving the foaming component in whisking equipment, directly determines the whisking effect and operational efficiency.

[0003] However, in existing tea-making arm mechanisms, the tea-making brush is not cleaned in time after mixing, resulting in long-term accumulation of tea stains on the brush. This not only affects the taste of the tea but may also breed bacteria, posing a hygiene and safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to propose a tea-making arm mechanism to solve the problem that in the existing tea-making arm mechanism, the tea brush is not cleaned in time after mixing, resulting in long-term accumulation of tea stains on the brush. This not only affects the taste of the tea, but may also breed bacteria, posing a hygiene and safety hazard.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A tea-making swing arm mechanism includes a frame, a guide block, a moving rod, a foaming brush, a moving seat, a spraying assembly, a drying assembly, a first drive unit, a second drive unit, and a swing arm assembly; The guide block is installed on the frame, the movable rod is movably installed on the guide block, the foaming brush is installed at the end of the movable rod, and the first drive unit drives the movable rod to move back and forth through the swing arm assembly; The movable seat is movable back and forth on the frame. The movable seat is equipped with the spraying assembly, which is used to spray cleaning water onto the foaming brush. The second driving unit is used to drive the movable seat to move back and forth. The air drying assembly is used to blow out hot air to dry the foaming brush.

[0006] Furthermore, the swing arm assembly includes a swing arm and a connecting rod; One end of the connecting rod is hinged to the end of the moving rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is hinged to one end of the swing arm. The other end of the swing arm is mounted on the first drive unit, and the first drive unit is mounted on the frame.

The guide block 2 is mounted on the frame 1, the moving rod 3 is movably mounted on the guide block 2, the foaming brush 4 is mounted on the end of the moving rod 3, and the first drive unit 8 drives the moving rod 3 to move back and forth via the swing arm assembly 10. The moving seat 5 is movably mounted on the frame 1, and the spray assembly 6 is mounted on the moving seat 5. The spray assembly 6 sprays cleaning water onto the foaming brush 4. The second drive unit 9 drives the moving seat 5 to move back and forth, and the drying assembly 7 blows hot air to dry the foaming brush 4. In this embodiment, both the first drive unit 8 and the second drive unit 9 are mounted on the frame 1. The second drive unit 9 is a cylinder. The spray assembly 6 is connected to an external water supply device, and the air-drying assembly 7 is connected to an external hot air supply device. The tea-making swing arm mechanism is specifically installed on the tea-making machine. During operation, after adding tea powder to the teacup, the teacup is moved below the bubbling brush 4 and lifted, so that the bubbling brush 4 is placed in the tea. Then, the first drive unit 8 drives the swing arm assembly 10. The movable rod 3 moves back and forth under the action of the guide block 2, thereby causing the foaming brush 4 to stir the tea, fully mix the tea powder and water, and create fine foam. After foaming is completed and the teacup is removed, the foaming brush 4 returns to its original position. The second drive unit 9 drives the spray assembly 6 to move directly above the foaming brush 4. The external water supply device supplies water to the spray assembly 6, causing the spray assembly 6 to spray cleaning water to clean the foaming brush 4. After cleaning is completed, the spray assembly 6 returns to its original position, and then the external hot air supply device... Hot air is supplied to the drying component 7, which blows hot air toward the foaming brush 4 to dry the brush. This invention uses a first drive unit 8 paired with a swing arm assembly 10 to drive the moving rod 3 to move precisely back and forth along the guide block 2, causing the foaming brush 4 to regularly stir the tea. This structure ensures that the movement trajectory and frequency of the foaming brush 4 are stable and controllable, avoiding uneven force and rhythm issues during manual operation. It allows the tea powder and water to mix thoroughly, continuously producing fine and lasting foam, effectively ensuring the consistency of taste and quality in every tea brewing. Furthermore, after brewing, no manual intervention is required. The second drive unit 9 automatically drives the spray assembly 6 to move directly above the foaming brush 4 to complete the spray cleaning. After cleaning, the spray assembly 6 automatically resets, and the drying component 7 blows hot air to quickly dry the foaming brush. The entire cleaning process is automated, preventing residual tea on the foaming brush 4 from breeding bacteria, improving equipment hygiene standards, and eliminating the need for manual disassembly, cleaning, and wiping, significantly reducing operational difficulty and improving the efficiency of tea brewing.
