Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a tea making machine that mixes tea leaves that have been made, and more particularly to a method for charging tea leaves into a tea making machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Tea is produced on a daily basis. From morning to afternoon, fresh tea leaves picked up by multiple farmers are made from one afternoon to the next morning at one tea factory. The quality of fresh tea leaves varies from farmer to farmer, and the quality of tea varies with the passage of time from the start of tea making. When tea is shipped from a tea factory, it is put in a 20-40kg shipping bag (hereinafter referred to as a large sea bag), and several tens to several hundreds are shipped per day. The tea making machine is used as a mixing device to equalize the quality of tea for a day. The tea making machine combines the tea leaves just after the start of tea making, the tea in the middle, and the tea just before the end by taking out tea leaves evenly in the horizontal direction and taking out the tea leaves evenly in the vertical direction. In the subsequent bagging process of the assembling machine, mixed tea enters one large sea bag.
[0003]
In the conventional tea making machine, there was a means to measure the tea leaf weight put into the tea making machine together with the tea making machine, but only the tea leaf weight was displayed, the operator confirmed the weight, It was difficult to determine the input / output, etc., and there was no one that controlled the input to the tea making machine by the weight of the tea leaves. When the worker actually made a judgment, the bulk of the tea leaves in the tea making machine was visually confirmed. When there were a plurality of tea making machines, when one tea making machine was full, the operator switched to another tea making machine. In addition, the bulk density of tea leaves after tea making varies depending on the state of fresh tea leaves, tea time, tea making method, etc. Around this time, the bulk density of tea leaves after tea making also decreases. When the bulk density of tea leaves is very high, the weight of the tea leaves is heavy even if they are not full, and when the tea leaves are full, they may exceed the limit weight of the tea making machine. A large burden is placed on the driving means.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Even if the conventional tea making machine is weighing, it only displays and the operator has to check frequently. It is an object for an operator to check the amount of tea leaves in the tea making machine and to eliminate the burden on the driving means at the time of take-out due to the difference in bulk density. Moreover, when there are a plurality of tea making machines, the tea leaves in each tea making machine can be mixed, but the tea leaves in different tea making machines cannot be mixed. If it is introduced so as to fill up sequentially as in the prior art, the quality of the tea leaves will differ for each tea-making machine. An object of the present invention is to mix all tea leaves produced in a tea factory.
[0005]

【Example】
Example 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the first embodiment, the tea making machine assembly 1 is a cylindrical shape with an open top. The tea assembling machine 1 includes a bottom surface 2, a peripheral wall 3, a moving rear wall 4 fixed to the peripheral wall 3 with a hinge (not shown), a motor 5 for driving the peripheral wall 3, and a cricket apparatus 6 used when taking out tea leaves. And a central column 7 and a take-out port 8. The column 7 is provided with a spraying device 9 so as to be freely rotatable. The lower part of the tea making machine 1 measures the entire tea making machine 1. A load cell 10 serving as a weighing unit is provided.
[0008]
When the tea leaves are introduced, the rear wall 4 is moved to the rearmost position (the rear wall 4 ′). The tea leaves produced in the tea making process are transported by the transport device 16, and the tea leaves 11 are put in substantially the entire circumference by the spraying device 9 so that the laminated surface becomes flat. At this time, a cover or the like (not shown) is provided so as not to be stacked on the upper portion of the outlet 8 (upper portion of the oyster device 6). It is set in advance in the control device 12 (500 kg in this embodiment) how many kg of tea leaves are put into the tea making machine. In this embodiment, the whole tea making machine 1 is directly weighed with the load cell 10, the weight of the tea making machine 1 is measured in advance, and the weight of the tea making machine is subtracted from the total weight. You can see how many kg of tea leaves have been put in. When 500 kg of tea leaves are introduced, the introduction of the tea leaves 11 to the tea making machine 1 is stopped, and if set as required, an alarm sounds from the speaker 13. If it is not necessary to stop the charging, it is not necessary to set the weight. It is also possible to sound only an alarm without stopping the charging. Further, an alarm may be issued by the signal lamp 14 without sounding the alarm.
[0009]
At the time of taking out, if the motor 5 is started and the peripheral wall 3 is rotated, the bottom wall 2 does not move, but the rear wall 4 fixed to the peripheral wall 3 moves in the direction of the arrow and pushes the tea leaf 11 to the outlet 8. . The tea leaves 11 in the vicinity of the take-out port 8 are scraped off by the oyster machine 6 and taken out from the take-out port 8 onto the conveying device 15. The tea leaves 11 taken out from the tea assembling machine 1 are put into a large sea bag by a tea bag filling machine (not shown) via the transport device 15.
[0010]
In the first embodiment, the cylindrical tea making machine 1 is used, but the same applies to the box-shaped tea making machine 18 (Example 2) as shown in FIG. Reference numeral 18 denotes a tea making machine. In this embodiment, the tea machine is a box shape with an open top. The tea assembling machine 18 includes an endless transport zone 19 on the bottom surface, a rear wall 20 that is fixed to the endless transport zone 19, a motor 21 that is a driving means for driving the endless transport zone 19, and a oyster device when taking out tea leaves. 22, and a load cell 23 serving as a weighing means for weighing the entire tea making machine assembly 18 is provided.
[0011]
With the rear wall 20 moved to the rearmost position (rightmost in FIG. 3), the tea leaves 24 processed in the tea making line are stacked in the tea making machine assembly 18 by the transport device 25 and the tea tea device 21. Throw so that the surface is flat. In this embodiment, the weighing means of the tea leaves 24 in the tea making machine 18 is the load cell 23, and the weight of the tea leaves 24 is directly measured by the load cell 23, and how many kg of tea leaves 24 are currently put into the tea making machine 18. You can see what was done. As in the first embodiment, if a predetermined input amount is set in advance, the input is stopped when the set value is reached. At the time of taking out, the motor 21 is started and the endless transport zone 19 is moved. The tea leaves 24 on the endless transport zone 19 and the rear moving wall 20 fixed to the endless transport zone 19 move toward the outlet 27. The tea leaves that have moved to the take-out end are scraped off by the oyster apparatus 22 and dropped to the take-out port 27. The tea leaves taken out from the tea making machine 18 are put into a large sea bag by a tea bag filling machine (not shown) via the conveying device 28.
[0012]
In this embodiment, the tea making machine is directly weighed using the load cell. However, the apparent weight may be reduced using a link mechanism or may be measured by other measuring means.
[0013]
A case where a plurality of tea making machines (three in this embodiment) are installed (Example 3) will be described with reference to FIG. A predetermined amount at the time of switching the charging (in this embodiment, 100 kg is set, but is determined by the size of the tea making machine, the processing amount at the tea factory, etc.) is set. At first, it will be poured into the tea making machine A evenly on the bottom so that the laminated surface becomes flat. When 100 kg has been introduced, the introduction into the tea making machine A is stopped and the introduction into the tea making machine B is started. Also to tea making machine B, evenly put it on the bottom so that the laminated surface is flat, and when 100 kg is put in, stop feeding to tea making machine B and put it into tea making machine C To start. Even in the tea making machine C, the entire surface is placed so that the laminated surface is flat, and when 100 kg has been put in, the charging to the tea making machine C is stopped, and the tea making machine A is returned to the tea making machine A again. Start charging. 100 kg is added to the tea leaves that have been added 100 kg last time so that the laminated surface becomes flat. When 100 kg (100 kg of the previous time + 100 kg of the current time = 200 kg in total) is charged this time, the charging to the tea making machine A is stopped and the charging to the tea making machine B is started. Similarly, the dispensing of tea leaves by a predetermined amount is repeated. If the weight (400 kg) at which the charging to each tea making machine is finished is set in advance, the feeding to the tea making machine at the set value is finished.
[0014]
When taking out, tea leaves are scraped off in the vertical direction and taken out from any of the three tea making machines, the same quality tea leaves (in this example, there are four types of quality) The mixed tea leaves) can be taken out.
[0015]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.
[0016]
