Study On Pneumatic Reciprocating Vibratory Tea Shaping Machine

Tea shaping machine is one of the main equipments during the tea process. Theinstitutional design and analytical study of tea shaping machine is based on the techniquesof traditional tea manual processing in China. And designing a more competitive teashaping machine after ultimately improved. When the tea shaping machine working, thegroove pot doing reciprocating linear motion, drive the tea inside the groove pot move andcollide with each other, use the own characteristics of tea, and ultimately achieve thepurpose of the shaping process. In addition, you can choose whether or not to put any pressrod according to the needs of processing.For many years, China’s tea workers have been working in the tea shaping machine’sdevelopment and improvement, and also have achieved some more advanced mechanicalstructure. However, the traditional tea shaping machine also has some complex problemsto be solved: First, the thermal efficiency of the traditional equipment is extremely low andthe heat loss is very high, causing a lot of energy waste and environmental pollution. Thethermal efficiency is less than a half. Second, the distribution of the traditional tea shapingmachine’s heating device is not reasonable, causing an uneven temperature distribution inthe groove pot, and further caused an uneven tea quality, usually the temperature of middlepart is high, the around or corner is low, this is not conducive to unify and improve thequality of tea. Third, the traditional tea shaping machine’s transmission device structure ismuch more complex, causing the volume of the entire machine is too large, weight is toohigh, and is not conducive to the transporting of the machine. In addition, the transmissionpart is easier to wear out, and needs to be changed frequently. Because each machine isequipped with an independent transmission system, this is not conducive to large-scalecentralized, unified management operations. Fourth, during the tea shaping machinerunning, it will produce a lot of tea dust and noise pollution, usually exceeded the nationalimplementation of the tea shaping machine standard, and will do harm to the human healthof practitioners. Therefore, the development and research of the new tea shaping machinehas become the main direction of tea shaping machine research in the modern teamachinery industry. And the significance of the actual production of tea processingindustry is extremely significant to develop a new tea shaping machine type.This project conducts a comprehensive analysis of the tea shaping machine, focus onthe improvements. Mainly improve and develop several key aspects of heating mode, drive mode, energy options and so on. Use the Far-infrared radiation heating technology to heatthe tea, solve the shortcomings of low thermal efficiency and high heat loss; Put pneumatictechnology into the tea processing machinery, fill the gaps in this industry, and solve theshortcomings of complex transmission structure; The far-infrared heating principle is tomake the tea internal molecular motion increases, to achieve the purpose of heating anddehydration, this technology has characteristics of heating fast, high thermal efficiency,and the prepared tea aroma long than the traditional heat transfer heating.The main parameters of the pneumatic reciprocating vibratory tea shaping machineare as follows: Product type:6CL-50-6; Heating source: far-infrared radiant heat source;The groove number:6; Cylinder piston stroke (mm):120; output each hour (kg/h):15-20fresh leaves; Moving parts weight (kg):17; The reciprocating number (times/min):170~240; Groove pot size (mm):720×500×100; The machine configuration dimensions (mm):l480×700×650; Heating device total power:4.8kw.The main text results of pneumatic reciprocating vibratory tea shaping machine are asfollows: The preheating time of pneumatic reciprocating vibratory tea shaping machine canbe shorter than the traditional tea shaping machine, will be shortened to less than halfpercent, the heat loss during preheating is lower than the traditional tea shaping machine.Because of the heat is direct effect on the tea, the heat loss is low, and the single pot teaprocessing time compare to the old model is significantly shorter, single pot energyconsumption is low, hour output is significantly improved, the rate of broken tea is low, thecolor of tea is emerald green. Above the many advantages are directly proofed thesuccessful development of pneumatic reciprocating vibratory tea shaping machine,provides a good precedent for the improvement and innovation of traditional tea shapingmachine.
