Description

DEVICE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BREWING SITES

The technical field to which the invention relates.

The invention relates to a device for the production of tea strainers, including deformable moisture-permeable containers and rigid bases and can be used for automatic production of tea strainers.

In the present description, a brewing sieve is understood to mean a cup-shaped object for brewing liquids (for example, tea, coffee, herbal infusions), including a deformable moisture-permeable container and a rigid base that is placed on the edge of the vessel with water. A deformable moisture-permeable container may be made of a thin fabric mesh, filter paper or similar materials. The rigid base may be made of cardboard, thin plastic or similar materials. The infusion sieve is primarily disposable, but not necessary, may have a spinner, for example in the form of one or more threads. Unlike a disposable tea bag, the brewing sieve has an open entrance to the brewing tank and allows the user to pour the brewing substance (brewing), and unlike metal brewing devices (brewing spoons), it is simple, light and can be equipped with a squeezing mechanism.

The level of technology.

For the production of tea leaves, it is necessary to combine with each other and fix deformable moisture-permeable containers and rigid bases. Since deformable moisture-permeable containers are in space and have a three-dimensional shape, and rigid bases are flat, the task of automatically connecting these parts to each other has not yet been solved, and the claimed device has no analogues.

Disclosure of the invention.

The present invention mainly aims to provide a device for the production of tea strainers, including deformable moisture-permeable containers and rigid substrates, which solves the problem of production of tea strainers, for which it allows automatic fixing on a flat rigid base of the tea strainer, a deformable moisture-permeable container of tea leaves, having volumetric form, which is the technical result of the present invention

To achieve this goal, the device has a frame on which are located:

"the supply unit of the workpieces of the rigid bases of the brewing sieve or material for the manufacture of rigid bases,

• feed unit for workpieces of deformable moisture-permeable capacities of a tea strainer,

• a feeder that is connected to a feeder drive,

"movable platform with a capacity former,

• the attachment point of the deformable moisture-permeable capacity of the brewing sieve to the rigid base of the brewing sieve,

• a shaper of a deformable moisture-permeable capacity of a brewing sieve, which is configured to put on a deformable moisture-permeable capacity of a brewing sieve and has a through cavity configured to move a feeder of a deformable moisture-permeable capacity of a brewing sieve in it, capable of transferring a deformable moisture-permeable capacity of a brewing sieve from the feed unit to the shaper.

Thanks to such advantageous characteristics, it becomes possible to automatically feed the blanks of the rigid bases of the brewing sieve and automatically feed the blanks of deformable moisture-permeable containers of the brewing sieve, which can automatically be combined and fastened together. This solves the problem of how to produce a bulk product from flat blanks consisting of a flat rigid base to which a predominantly conical deformable moisture-permeable container is attached. It is possible to convert a flat blank of a deformable moisture-permeable container using a movable feeder into a three-dimensional figure and transfer it to the former.

There is an advantageous embodiment of the invention in which the former is rigid.

Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to give the same shape to all tea screens. There is an advantageous embodiment of the invention in which the former is in the form of a cone or a truncated cone.

Due to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to give a conical shape to all brewing screens, namely, their deformable moisture-permeable containers. In general, the shape of a deformable moisture-permeable container may be a hemisphere.

In addition, there is another advantageous embodiment of the invention, in which the feeder is made in the form of a flat part having a triangular protrusion with an angle at the apex corresponding to the angle of the cone of the former.

Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to give a cone-shaped shape to deformable moisture-permeable containers before placing them on a rigid base.

There is a possible embodiment of the invention in which the mount is made in the form of a press.

Due to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to fix the parts of the tea sieve by pressing, mainly hot.

There is also an embodiment of the invention in which the movable platform has a drive of the movable platform.

Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to automatically change the position of the moving platform.

There is also an embodiment of the invention, in which the movable platform is made in the form of a disk mounted on a bed with rotation.

Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to feed a new workpiece of a rigid base by turning the movable platform.

There is an alternative to the previous embodiment of the invention, in which the movable platform is made in the form of a conveyor.

Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to feed a new workpiece of a rigid base by moving the movable platform along the conveyor belt.

There is a possible embodiment of the invention in which the drive of the feeder is made with the possibility of reciprocating movement of one end of the feeder and the rotation of the other end of the feeder. Due to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to ensure the necessary movement of the feeder, in which he lifts the flat blank of the deformable moisture-permeable container, gives it a three-dimensional shape, then transfers it to the former, passes through its slot, leaving the deformable moisture-permeable container on the former and on a rigid base.

There is another embodiment of the invention in which the feed unit for blanks of deformable moisture-permeable containers is made in the form of a conveyor.

Due to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to automatically feed blanks of deformable moisture-permeable containers, for example in the form of a roll installation, which is unwound in one direction.

There is, among other things, an embodiment of the invention in which the supply unit for preforms of deformable moisture-permeable containers includes a rotating multifaceted direct prism.

Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to automatically position blanks of deformable moisture-permeable containers on a flat surface.

Finally, there is an embodiment of the invention in which the rigid base supply unit has a die cutting press.

Due to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to cut blanks of deformable moisture-permeable containers from one roll.

The set of essential features of the invention is unknown from the prior art for devices of similar purpose, which allows us to conclude that the criterion of "novelty" for the invention.

The former 10 is configured to wear a hard base 2 of the tea strainer and a deformable moisture-permeable container 1 of the tea strainer on it.

The shaper 10 has a through cavity 101, made with the possibility of movement in it of the feeder 8 deformable moisture-permeable capacity of the brewing sieve.

The feeder 8 is configured to transmit a deformable moisture-permeable container 1 from the feed unit 7 to the former 10.

The feeder 8 is connected to the drive 81 of the feeder. The former 10 is predominantly rigid, and is predominantly shaped as a cone or a truncated cone.

The feeder 8 is mainly made in the form of a flat part having a triangular protrusion with an angle at the apex corresponding to the angle of the cone of the former.

Node 1 1 fastening is mainly made in the form of a press.

The movable platform 9 advantageously has a drive of the movable platform. (Not shown in the figures).

The movable platform 9 can be made in the form of a disk mounted on the frame with the possibility of rotation. Alternatively, the movable platform may be in the form of a conveyor. (Not shown in the figures).

The direction of gravity is indicated as the vector q to indicate the working orientation of the device.

The implementation of the invention.

A device for the production of tea strainers is used as follows. (A non-limiting example of use is provided).

Stage 1. Filing blanks of deformable moisture-permeable containers.

• Set the roll with the web on the site 12 of the installation of the web roll of deformable moisture-permeable containers.

• One end of the roll is deployed and fixed on a multifaceted straight prism 13, made with the possibility of rotation. • Cutting one blank of a deformable moisture-permeable container using a cutting press.

Stage 2. Filing blanks hard bases.

• Set the stack with the workpieces of the hard bases on the unit 6 for supplying the workpieces of the hard bases of the brewing sieve. Pre-made by cutting the workpiece hard bases.

• Automatically feed one blank to a movable platform, on which each blank of a rigid base is worn on a former 10.

Stage 3. Combining the details of the brewing sieve with each other.

• Set the preform of the deformable moisture-permeable container with the help of the feeder 8 on the shaper 10. For this, using the drive of the feeder 81, the feeder 8 is moved, in which it takes in sequence:

· Position A1, see figure 8, in which the feeder 8 moves in an upward direction, passes through a slot in the flat surface of a multifaceted direct prism 13 and captures a blank of a deformable moisture-permeable container located on it and prepared in step 1.

• Position A2, see figure 9, in which the feeder 8 rotates in the direction of the arrow to the right, and raises the workpiece of the deformable moisture-permeable container, which is already bent in half.

• After that, the workpiece of the deformable moisture-permeable container is welded along the seam, after which it becomes not a flat product, but already voluminous, mainly having the shape of a truncated cone.

Position A3, see figure 10, in which the feeder 8 moves downward, passes through the slot 101 in the former 10 and lowers the blank of the deformable moisture-permeable container located on it to the former 10, on which the hard base blank is already located at the bottom 2. That is, in this case, the feeder 8 penetrates into the volume of the former 10 (see figures 13 and 14) and, thus, a deformable moisture-permeable container is put on the former 10 and obtains the necessary shape and volume.

• Position A4, see figure 1 1, in which the feeder 8 rotates in the direction of the arrow to the left and prepares to capture a new blank of a deformable moisture-permeable container, which at that moment is already moves to the place installed, for example by turning a multifaceted direct prism 13.

Stage 4. Fixing the details of the brewing sieve with each other.

• Fix the workpiece of the deformable moisture-permeable container and the workpiece of the rigid base, which are both located in step 3 on the former 10 using the press for fastening 1 1.

Step 5. Removing the finished product.

• Automatically remove the finished product of the tea strainer from the turntable.

The above embodiments of the invention are exemplary and allow you to add new options or modify the described. For example, the connection can be made by gluing, welding using high temperature, at which one of the materials is partially melted and, when solidified, is fixed on the other. Ultrasonic welding of materials may also be used.

The above example also showed a variant of operation in which a rigid base is first put on the former, and then a container, but there can also be a similar version of the device, in which a capacity is first put on the former, then the rigid base.

Similarly, there may be a variant of the device, in which cardboard for blanks of rigid substrates can be fed in a roll, rather than in blanks, and the shape of the rigid base can be cut out at the end of the process, when all the raw materials are welded.

That is, the given example of work is not restrictive and is given solely as an illustration of the possible use of the device.

Industrial applicability.

A device for the production of tea leaves can be implemented by a specialist in practice and, when implemented, ensures the implementation of the declared purpose.
