AI Technical Summary
During the drying process of the existing tea drying device, the tea on the accumulated surface may have been dried, while the tea at the bottom still contains a lot of water due to the contact time with hot air and the contact surface, which will cause uneven tea drying, which will affect the impact of Quality and taste.
A tea drying device is designed, including a drying box, mounting rack, control assembly and dehumidification assembly. By controlling the settings of the components and tea placement components, the tea leaves at the tea placement frame will be shaken to disperse and prevent accumulation and uneven drying. The dehumidification component achieves the dehumidification effect in the drying box through the hot air flow recycling and the combination of the adsorption layer.
Through uniform hot air distribution and dehumidification treatment, we ensure that the moisture of the tea leaves is evenly removed during drying, improving the overall quality and taste of the tea leaves.

[0028] The control assembly 3 includes a fixed frame 31 and a first fixed rod 36 installed inside the drying box device 1. A motor 32 is installed at the bottom end of the internal part of the fixed frame 31. A transmission rod 33 is movably connected to the inside of the fixed frame 31 through a bearing. The power drive end of the motor 32 is connected to the transmission rod 33. The outside of the transmission rod 33 is connected to a spiral drum 34. A first gear 35 is installed on the outside of the spiral drum 34. The outside of the first fixed rod 36 is rotatably connected to several groups of second gears 37 with equal distances. A second fixed rod 38 is installed inside the mounting frame 2. The outside of the second fixed rod 38 is rotatably connected to several groups of third gears 39. The first gear 35 is meshed with the second gear 37, and the second gear 37 is meshed with the third gear 39. A mounting cylinder 310 is installed at the bottom end of each third gear 39, and two symmetrical convex plates 311 are installed on the outside of each mounting cylinder 310.
[0029] The tea placement assembly 4 includes a mounting rod 41 installed inside the mounting frame 2, the outside of the mounting rod 41 is connected to a slide 42, a spring 43 is installed on the inner side of the mounting frame 2 and located on the outside of the mounting rod 41, one end of the spring 43 is connected to the slide 42, and a frame 44 is installed on the top of the slide 42, the position of the convex plate 311 corresponds to the position of the frame 44, and the two sides of the frame 44 correspond to the positions of the first impact pad 6 and the second impact pad 7 respectively, a placement groove 45 is opened inside the frame 44, and a tea placement frame 46 is placed inside the placement groove 45, and a connecting plate 47 is installed on the outer side of the frame 44, and the connecting plate 47 is slidably connected to the inside of the connecting groove 8;
[0030] The dehumidification assembly 5 includes a dehumidification box 51 installed on the top of the drying box device 1 and the mounting rack 2. A humidity detector 52 is installed on the external side of the dehumidification box 51, and a fan 53 is installed at the internal bottom end of the dehumidification box 51. Several groups of placement racks 54 are installed on both sides of the interior of the dehumidification box 51. The interiors of every two placement racks 54 are commonly connected to an adsorption layer 55. A connecting pipe 56 is connected to the top of the dehumidification box 51, and one end of the connecting pipe 56 is connected to the interior of the drying box device 1. The front side of the dehumidification box 51 is connected to a box door 57.
[0031] By setting the control device 9, multiple devices can be operated. The staff places the tea leaves to be dried on the top of several groups of tea placement frames 46, spreads them out and places them inside several groups of placement slots 45, and then uses the drying box device 1 to dry them; during the drying process, the dehumidification component 5 is used for dehumidification. When the humidity detector 52 detects that the humidity in the drying box device 1 reaches a certain value, the fan 53 is started, and the hot air flow in the drying box device 1 enters the dehumidification box 51 through the fan 53. The hot air flow passes through the two adsorption layers 55 in turn, adsorbing the moisture contained in the air flow. After the double-layer adsorption, the air flow becomes dry, thereby achieving the dehumidification operation in the drying box device 1. The dehumidified air flow enters the drying box device 1 again through the connecting pipe 56, and the air flow in the drying box device 1 can be circulated and ventilated; the humidity value can be detected by the humidity detector 52. When the humidity is detected to be high, in order to achieve the same drying effect, the drying temperature needs to be increased accordingly. Conversely, when the humidity is low, the drying temperature can be appropriately reduced to reduce energy consumption and material quality loss.
[0032] In order to prevent uneven drying of the tea leaves at the tea placing frame 46, when the tea leaves are dried for a certain period of time, the power driving end of the motor 32 drives the transmission rod 33 to rotate. At this time, the spiral drum 34 drives the first gear 35 located outside the transmission rod 33 to rotate from bottom to top and move upward. When the spiral drum 34 is engaged with the second gear 37 at the bottom, the second gear 37 drives the corresponding third gear 39 to rotate. At this time, the third gear 39 drives the convex plate 311 to rotate through the mounting cylinder 310. When the convex plate 311 rotates, it collides and squeezes the corresponding tea placing component 4; when the convex plate 311 contacts the frame 44, the slide seat 42 installed at the bottom of the frame 44 is located between the two mounting rods 4 1 slides on the outside and squeezes the two springs 43. At this time, the frame 44 hits the corresponding two first impact pads 6. When the convex plate 311 is no longer in contact with the frame 44, the frame 44 is reset by the setting of the two springs 43. At this time, the other side of the frame 44 hits the corresponding two second impact pads 7. The convex plate 311 is driven to rotate by the mounting cylinder 310, so that the frame 44 cyclically hits the first impact pad 6 and the second impact pad 7. The tea leaves at the tea placing frame 46 are shaken to spread the tea leaves and can be evenly dried. One side of the tea placing frame 46 is slidably connected to the inner side of the drying box device 1 through the setting of the connecting groove 8 and the connecting plate 47.
[0033] When the first gear 35 disengages from the second gear 37 at the bottom and meshes with the upper second gear 37, the second gear 37 at the bottom stops rotating, and the corresponding tea placement assembly 4 stops shaking. When the spiral drum 34 meshes with the second second gear 37 from bottom to top, the corresponding second tea placement assembly 4 shakes. The spiral drum 34 can shake the tea leaves at the tea placement frame 46 of several groups of tea placement assemblies 4 in sequence from bottom to top.
[0034] When the spiral drum 34 is located at the top of the transmission rod 33, when the tea placement assembly 4 needs to be shaken again, the motor 32 rotates in the opposite direction. (The motor 32 can rotate in the forward direction and then in the reverse direction by programming. This is a known technology and will not be described in detail here.) At this time, the spiral drum 34 is located at the top of the transmission rod 33 and rotates downward. The first gear 35 drives several groups of second gears 37 to rotate from top to bottom, so that several groups of tea placement assemblies 4 are shaken in turn from top to bottom. Through the shaking action, the debris contained in the tea can fall into the tea placement frame 46 on the bottom layer.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] like Figures 1 to 7In the second embodiment, other structures remain unchanged. The difference from the first embodiment is that the door 57 can be opened from the front side of the dehumidification box 51, and the two adsorption layers 55 can be pulled out from the inside of the placement rack 54 to facilitate their replacement.
