Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea processing equipment, specifically a tea processing device for evenly stirring and frying tea. Background Technology

[0002] Tea, commonly known as tea, generally includes the leaves and buds of the tea plant. Tea contains catechins, cholesterol, caffeine, inositol, folic acid, and pantothenic acid, all beneficial to health. Tea beverages are one of the world's three major beverages. The tea-making process mainly consists of seven steps: picking, withering, fixation, rolling, drying, storage, and packaging. Among these, fixation is an extremely important step. Fixation refers to the process after withering where the tea leaves need to be fixed by high-temperature baking or frying to destroy the enzyme activity inside the tea leaves and stop the fermentation process. The tools used for fixation include tea-stirring processing equipment. However, tea-stirring requires even stirring of the tea leaves, making such equipment indispensable nowadays.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese utility model patent (CN220192041U) for a tea-frying machine. The machine includes a cylinder and a base frame. The cylinder comprises a rotating drum and a heating drum. A motor is mounted on the upper end of the base frame. A first rotating shaft is fixedly mounted at the motor's output end. A first driving belt and a second driving belt are sequentially fixed on one side of the first rotating shaft. The first driving belt is connected to a first driven belt via a first belt, and the second driving belt is connected to a second driven belt via a second belt. The first driven belt is connected to a second rotating shaft, and a gear is connected to the other end of the second rotating shaft. The rotating drum is rotatably connected inside the cylinder. This utility model employs a baffle, a stirring plate, and a rotating drum that rotates in the opposite direction to the stirring plate, achieving simultaneous roasting and frying processing. This patented method can separate tea leaves that are stuck together, preventing uneven heating during frying and resulting in poor quality. However, while the method uses a stirring plate, baffles, and a rotating drum with the stirring plate rotating in opposite directions to separate the stuck tea leaves, the collision between the baffles and the stirring plate in opposite directions causes the tea leaves to collide violently, resulting in a lot of tea dust. Furthermore, this device can only fry the tea leaves in the direction of rotation, and because of the baffles and the stirring plate, the tea leaves stick to the drum after frying and are difficult to remove. Therefore, a new tea processing device is proposed that can perform gentle horizontal stirring and frying while the tea leaves are being fryed in the rotating drum, so that the tea leaves are heated more evenly during frying and are easy to remove without sticking to the inside of the drum. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a tea processing device that can stir-fry tea leaves evenly. It features the ability to simultaneously rotate and stir-fry the tea leaves in a rotating drum while gently stirring them horizontally. This results in more even heating of the tea leaves during stir-frying and makes them easier to remove after stir-frying, preventing them from sticking inside the drum. This solves the problems of the Chinese utility model patent (CN220192041U), where the opposing collision of the baffle and stirring plate causes intense tea leaf impact, resulting in numerous tea leaf fragments. Furthermore, this device can only stir-fry in the rotational direction, and the baffle and stirring plate cause tea leaves to stick after stir-frying, making them difficult to remove.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose of simultaneously rotating and stirring the tea leaves in a rotating frying drum while gently stirring and stirring them horizontally, so that the tea leaves are heated more evenly during frying and are easy to remove after frying without sticking inside the frying drum, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tea processing device for even stirring, including a box body, a stirring mechanism provided inside the box body, a hinged movable door on the outside of the box body, a bracket fixedly installed at the bottom of the box body, and a controller provided outside the box body;

[0006] The feeding mechanism includes a baffle, an electric slide, an electric telescopic rod, a feeding plate, a protective frame, a motor, a stir-frying cylinder, a fixing rod, and a large bearing. The baffle is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing. An electric slide is located at the bottom of the baffle. An electric telescopic rod is located at the bottom of the electric slide. A feeding plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the electric telescopic rod. A protective frame is fixedly installed on the outside of the housing. A motor is fixedly installed on the inner right wall of the protective frame. A stir-frying cylinder is located at the output end of the motor. A fixing rod is fixedly installed on the outside of the baffle. A large bearing is located on the outside of the fixing rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner ring of the large bearing is fixedly connected to the fixed rod, and the outer ring of the large bearing is fixedly connected to the inner right wall of the wok. The large bearing enables the wok to rotate without affecting the stable operation of the electric slide on the baffle.

[0008] Furthermore, an electromagnetic lock is installed on the outside of the box, and a permanent magnet adapted to the electromagnetic lock is fixedly installed on the outside of the movable door. An electric heater is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the box. The electromagnetic lock can be switched on and off by a controller, which can tightly close the movable door to prevent tea leaves from floating out when the frying drum is working.

[0009] Furthermore, an auxiliary bearing adapted to the output end of the motor is provided on the outside of the housing. The inner ring of the auxiliary bearing is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and the outer ring of the auxiliary bearing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing.

[0010] Furthermore, the material feeding plate has four drainage holes on its exterior, and the four drainage holes are evenly distributed on the exterior of the material feeding plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the controller is electrically connected to the motor, electromagnetic lock, electric heater, and electric slide via wires.

[0012] Compared with the existing technology, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This tea processing device, designed for even stirring, incorporates a feeding mechanism. When tea needs to be stirred, the controller is activated, the electromagnetic lock is deactivated, the movable door is opened, tea leaves are placed into the stirring drum, the movable door is closed, the motor is started, and the stirring drum begins to rotate, stirring the tea leaves inside. The electric heater is activated to heat the tea leaves inside the stirring drum. A baffle plate confines the tea leaves stirred up by the rotation. The electric telescopic rod extends and retracts to the appropriate position, and the electric slide table drives the feeding plate to slowly reciprocate horizontally, preventing the tea leaves from piling up and heating unevenly. This feeding mechanism can gently stir and stir the tea leaves horizontally while the rotating stirring drum is stirring them, resulting in more even heating of the tea leaves during stirring.

[0018] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3The tea processing device for evenly stir-frying tea in this embodiment includes a box body 1, a feeding mechanism 2 is provided inside the box body 1, a movable door 3 is hinged to the outside of the box body 1, a bracket 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the box body 1, and a controller 5 is provided outside the box body 1.

[0020] The feeding mechanism 2 includes a baffle 201, an electric slide 202, an electric telescopic rod 203, a feeding plate 204, a protective frame 205, a motor 206, a stir-frying cylinder 207, a fixing rod 208, and a large bearing 209. The baffle 201 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 1. The electric slide 202 is located at the bottom of the baffle 201. The electric telescopic rod 203 is located at the bottom of the electric slide 202. The feeding plate 204 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the electric telescopic rod 203. The protective frame 205 is fixedly installed on the outside of the housing 1. The motor 206 is fixedly installed on the inner right wall of the protective frame 205. The stir-frying cylinder 207 is located at the output end of the motor 206. The fixing rod 208 is fixedly installed on the outside of the baffle 201. The large bearing 209 is located on the outside of the fixing rod 208.

[0021] In the implementation of the case, the inner ring of the large bearing 209 is fixedly connected to the fixed rod 208, and the outer ring of the large bearing 209 is fixedly connected to the inner right wall of the frying drum 207. By setting the large bearing 209, it is possible to ensure that the stability of the fixed rod 208 is not affected while the frying drum 207 rotates. This ensures that the fixed rod 208 is not affected by the rotation of the frying drum 207 when bearing the weight of the frying drum 207, which is beneficial to the stable operation of the electric slide table 202 and the reciprocating feeding action of the feeding plate 204.

[0022] In the implementation of the case, four perforations are provided on the outside of the feeding plate 204. The four perforations are evenly arranged on the outside of the feeding plate 204. When the feeding plate 204 feeds the tea leaves, the tea leaves pass through the four perforations, which is conducive to the separation of the tea leaves and reduces the accumulation of tea leaves at both ends of the frying cylinder 207.

[0023] In the implementation of this case, the controller 5 is electrically connected to all electronic components in this patent via wires, thereby controlling all electronic components in this patent by operating the controller 5.

[0024] When implementing this procedure, please follow these steps:

[0025] 1) First, when it is necessary to stir-fry the tea leaves, turn on the controller 5, turn off the electromagnetic lock 101 through the controller 5, open the movable door 3, put the tea leaves into the frying cylinder 207, and then close the movable door 3;

[0026] 2) Then start motor 206, and the frying drum 207 starts to rotate, turning the tea leaves inside.

[0027] 3) The baffle 201 restricts the tea leaves that are lifted by the rotation to a position below the baffle 201 so that the tea leaves can be heated and easily removed. The electric telescopic rod 203 extends and retracts to a suitable position.

[0028] 4) Finally, the electric slide table 202 drives the feeding plate 204 to slowly reciprocate in the horizontal direction to prevent the tea leaves from accumulating and heating unevenly.

[0029] In summary, this tea processing device for evenly stirring tea leaves, by setting up a feeding mechanism 2, allows the controller 5 to be turned on when the tea leaves need to be stirred. The controller 5 then turns off the electromagnetic lock 101, opening the movable door 3, placing the tea leaves into the frying drum 207, closing the movable door 3, starting the motor 206, and causing the frying drum 207 to rotate, stirring the tea leaves inside. The electric heater 102 is then turned on to heat the tea leaves inside the frying drum 207. The baffle 201 restricts the tea leaves stirred up by the rotation below the baffle 201. The electric telescopic rod 203 extends and retracts to a suitable position, and the electric slide 202 drives the feeding plate 204 to slowly reciprocate horizontally, preventing the tea leaves from piling up and heating unevenly. This feeding mechanism 2 can perform gentle horizontal feeding and stirring while the rotating frying drum 207 is stirring the tea leaves, making the tea leaves heat up more evenly during stirring.
