Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of tea production, and in particular to a fully automated and clean production system for the entire process of Wuyi rock tea. Background Art

[0002] Wuyi rock tea is a type of oolong tea, a national geographical indication product, the most distinctive agricultural product in Wuyishan City, and has become one of the most important agricultural pillar industries in the region. Its initial processing technology is: fresh leaves, withering, making green, killing green, rolling, and drying. Through the complex green making process, the quality characteristics of "rock bone and floral fragrance" are gradually formed. As a key link in improving the quality of oolong tea, the green making process has long adopted the methods of "making green according to the weather" and "making green according to the green", that is, relying on the processing experience of tea makers to continuously adjust or change the green making process under different seasons, time periods, regions and green leaf raw materials. The quality of the green leaves is subject to factors such as the experience of the processor and the mental state during processing. Making green tea is a key process in the formation of Wuyi Rock Tea's quality. The process of making green tea includes two steps, shaking the green tea and airing the green tea. These two steps are repeated alternately to complete the process of making green tea. The judgment of the degree of shaking and airing the green tea currently mainly depends on the tea-making technicians' judgment on the changes in the smell and state of the leaves during processing. It requires high sensory sensitivity and experience of the workers, and there are large differences between individual personnel, which is not conducive to the standardization and intelligence of the process of making green tea.

[0003] Due to the wide popularity and palatability of green tea, most of the production systems on the market are for green tea, such as 1) a continuous production system for green tea disclosed in Chinese patent CN113475592B, which realizes the spreading, killing, striping, sorting, cooling, strip drying, sorting and packaging of green tea through various modules in the system; 2) a production system for green tea disclosed in Chinese patent CN105145887A, which consists of a spreading device for spreading tea leaves, an oven for drying tea leaves, and a heating device for scalding tea leaves, which are connected in sequence. A hot tea device, a drying device for drying tea leaves, a hot tea device for hot tea, a tea striping machine for tea striping, a drying device for drying tea leaves, a refrigeration device for cold storage and ripening of tea leaves, and a tea fragrance machine for tea leaves; in the above technical scheme, by putting tea leaves into a hopper, the tea leaves will flow out of the discharge interface together with hot water in a spiral shape into the hot tea conveying pipe, so that each piece of tea is surrounded by hot water in the hot tea conveying pipe for uniform hot tea cutting, thereby improving the hot tea cutting effect and shortening the hot tea cutting time. At the same time, the hot tea leaves can be quickly dried on the conveying mesh belt, and the tea leaves can be quickly fixed in color and enter the next process for processing.

[0004] Since there are significant differences between Wuyi rock tea and green tea in the process of making green tea, the production system / equipment of green tea cannot be directly applied. Most of the currently available public technologies only disclose equipment for a certain process of Wuyi rock tea production, such as the intelligent green tea making machine for Wuyi rock tea that imitates sunlight withering disclosed in publication number 3) CN117296945A. It mainly combines a multi-layer circulating conveying mechanism and a circulating air system with automated equipment such as conveyor belts and vibrating screens, temperature and humidity monitoring equipment, etc., to achieve standardization of rock tea green tea processing such as withering, shaking, and fermentation.

[0005] In addition, according to the inventor's search, 4) Chinese patent CN107047834A discloses a Wuyi rock tea manufacturing device and its production process. The manufacturing device involves some of the processes of Wuyi rock tea manufacturing, such as withering, rolling, vibration deblocking, drying, and color sorting. However, since the production of Wuyi rock tea requires circulating cooling and shaking to achieve the quality characteristics of rock tea bone and floral fragrance, this production system is not suitable for the modern production of Wuyi rock tea.

[0006] Based on this background, the present invention proposes a fully automated and clean production system for the entire process of Wuyi Rock Tea. The system covers the entire process of Wuyi Rock Tea production, and can utilize the preceding equipment (withering, cooling, and shaking circulation line) to carry out the greening process. On the one hand, it is convenient for the tea leaves to be transported and circulated into the tea withering process when the withering requirements have not been met. On the other hand, after the tea leaves meet the withering requirements, they enter the shaking machine for shaking operations, and after shaking, they return to the withering machine for cooling operations. This round-trip cycle can realize the automated and intelligent processing of the Wuyi Rock Tea greening process. Summary of the invention
