SOLUTION: Air blowers are installed at suitable parts in a tea producing factory, separable tea powder sucking tools are connected to sucking sides of the blowers through flexible hoses, discharge sides are connected to a tea powder collecting vessel formed at a fixed part in the tea producing factory through conveying pipes, thus the tea powder is collected.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for collecting tea powder scattered in a tea factory.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the process of drying tea, many tea powders are produced. In recent years, tea making machines have been manufactured so that the tea powder is not scattered as much as possible, but as the drying progresses, a large amount of tea powder is scattered in the tea factory.

[0003] Conventionally, the tea powder is swept and collected by a worker with a broom and dust, or collected with a commercially available electric vacuum cleaner.

[0004]

Among the electric vacuum cleaners on the market, those for household use have a small capacity, and those for general factories are large, which makes it difficult to carry. Furthermore,
The tea powder accumulated in the vacuum cleaner is taken out again by the worker, collected in one place, sorted for reuse, and disposed of. Also, the method of sweeping tea powder with a broom and dustpan is all manual work, and it is very hard work for the workers to clean the whole tea factory with this method.

Furthermore, the fact that a large amount of tea powder is scattered in the tea factory is unhygienic and is a very uncomfortable environment for workers. The present invention creates a comfortable working environment by collecting tea powder, and collects tea powder efficiently, rather than simply collecting the tea powder for disposal. The purpose is to use high quality ingredients as products.

[0006]

In the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a blower is installed at an appropriate place in a tea factory, and a detachable tea powder suction device is provided on the suction side of the blower with a flexible hose. , And the discharge side is connected by a transport pipe to a tea powder collecting container provided at a certain place in the tea factory to collect tea powder.

[0007]

In the tea powder collecting device configured as described above, the tea powder can be sucked from the tea powder suction device by operating the blower at a necessary place and collected in the tea powder collecting container installed at a certain place. I can.

[0008]

EXAMPLE This example will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a tea factory, and FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a tea powder collecting device.

The structure of this embodiment will be described. The blower 3 is installed at an appropriate position in the tea factory. The circle 9 indicates the range in which the tea powder can be collected by each blower. In the case of this embodiment, it is installed in three places, but it is installed in a small tea factory, and it is installed in a more effective position because it is installed in a large tea factory and a large number of tea machines are installed. Is desirable.

The tea powder suction device 1 is connected to the suction side of the blower 3 via a flexible hose 2. The flexible hose 2 can be attached to and detached from the blower 3, and only the flexible hose 2 and the tea powder suction tool 1 can be carried around and connected to the blower 3 at a required position. Tea powder suction device 1
Has a structure that efficiently sucks tea powder. When the filter 6 is attached between the tea powder and the flexible hose 2, a substance other than the tea powder is caught on the filter 6, so that only the tea powder can be collected.

The discharge side of the blower 3 is
It is connected to the tea powder collecting container 5. The transport pipes 4 are installed in advance in all the blowers 3, and in the case of the present embodiment, the three transport pipes 4 are connected to one tea powder collecting container 5. The tea powder collecting container 5 is preferably one in view of cost, space and the like, but a plurality of tea powder collecting containers 5 may be installed. In order to dry and reuse the tea powder collected in the tea powder collecting container 5,
The dryer 7 for tea powder is connected.

The flow of tea powder will be described. During the tea making process, the tea powder mainly comes out from the rough kneader and the middle kneader, and is scattered in the tea factory. The tea powder sucker 1 connected to the flexible hose 2 with the tea powder scattered on the floor surface of the tea factory
Is sucked in, and is transported by the blower 3 through the transport pipe 4, separated from the transport air by the tea powder separator 8, and collected in the tea powder collecting container 5. The tea powder collecting container 5 is connected to a tea powder drying device 7. In the tea powder drying device 7, the tea powder is dried so as to have a water content similar to that of the product, and is sold as powdered tea.

[0013]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following effects.

With the tea powder collecting apparatus of the present invention, the worker can efficiently collect the tea powder in the tea factory by using the tea powder suction tool, and keep the tea factory clean.
Further, as in this embodiment, by providing a filter, it is possible to collect only tea powder and dry the collected tea powder to obtain a product. Furthermore, there is no concern that the blower will be damaged by foreign matter.
