Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea processing technology, and in particular to a fermentation device for processing osmanthus black tea. Background Technology
[0002] Osmanthus Black Tea is an elegant tea drink that blends the base of black tea with the fragrance of osmanthus. Its essence lies in the fermentation process, which is the core step in the transformation of tea leaves. The essence of fermentation is that after the cells of fresh tea leaves are damaged, the enzymatic reaction of polyphenols is activated, which in turn produces colored components such as theaflavins and thearubigins, as well as compounds that give tea leaves their unique aroma.
[0003] However, the current fermentation method, which simply piles the raw materials in a fermentation chamber and leaves them to stand, has significant drawbacks. This method not only hinders the effective fermentation of tea but also significantly reduces fermentation efficiency and quality. Specifically, the raw materials on the outer layer of the pile ferment rapidly due to greater air contact, while the raw materials in the inner layer ferment slowly due to insufficient oxygen supply, resulting in an unnecessary extension of fermentation time and a significant reduction in work efficiency. Even worse, this uneven fermentation pattern leads to inconsistencies in tea quality, affecting the final fermentation effect and flavor profile.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the above situation, there is an urgent need to develop a fermentation equipment for processing osmanthus black tea in order to overcome the shortcomings in current practical applications. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a fermentation device for processing osmanthus black tea, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A fermentation device for processing osmanthus black tea includes a fermentation chamber, a receiving plate slidably connected inside the fermentation chamber, a dispersing cylinder fixedly connected to the receiving plate, a cylinder cover hinged to the top of the dispersing cylinder, and multiple evenly distributed fixing blocks fixedly connected to the dispersing cylinder. Multiple evenly distributed fixing rods are fixedly connected to each fixing block. A thrust assembly is fitted between the receiving plate and the bottom of the fermentation chamber, the thrust assembly being used to push the receiving plate to slide along the inner wall of the fermentation chamber. The device also includes a ventilation assembly for evenly filling gas between the raw materials.
[0008] A further technical solution is provided in which multiple evenly distributed limiting grooves are provided on the inner wall of the fermentation tank, and multiple evenly distributed limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the receiving plate. The limiting blocks correspond one-to-one with the limiting grooves, and the limiting blocks are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting grooves.
[0009] A further technical solution includes a support block, a motor, a first rotating plate, a second rotating plate, a third rotating plate, and a fourth rotating plate. A support block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank, and a motor is fixedly connected to the support block. The drive end of the motor passes through the support block and is fixedly connected to the first rotating plate. A second rotating plate is rotatably connected to the first rotating plate, and a receiving plate is rotatably connected to the upper end of the second rotating plate. Multiple evenly distributed third rotating plates are also rotatably connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank, and each third rotating plate is rotatably connected to a fourth rotating plate, with the top of the fourth rotating plate rotatably connected to a receiving plate.
[0010] A further technical solution includes an air pump, a collar, a main air pipe, branch air pipes, and an air jet nozzle; a collar is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the dispersion cylinder, the main air pipe is provided inside the collar, and a branch air pipe is provided inside the fixed block, and the main air pipe and the branch air pipe are connected; multiple fixed cavity rods are provided on the fixed cavity rod; an air pump is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank, and the air outlet of the air pump is connected to the main air pipe through a flexible hose, and the flexible hose passes through the receiving plate.
[0011] A further technical solution is that the inner wall of the fermentation tank is fixedly connected with a device for regulating temperature and humidity.
[0012] In summary, the embodiments of this utility model have the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0013] 1. The thrust assembly pushes the receiving plate to slide along the inner wall of the fermentation tank. The limiting groove and limiting block restrict the receiving plate to slide vertically along the inner wall of the fermentation tank. When the thrust assembly drives the receiving plate to slide to the limit position, the raw material continues to move upward under the action of inertia and collides with the fixed cavity rod, thereby keeping the raw material loose and effectively reducing the breakage of the raw material.
[0014] 2. The gas is evenly filled between the raw materials through the ventilation components, thereby ensuring that the raw materials can obtain enough oxygen for full contact during the fermentation process.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0023] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides a fermentation device for processing osmanthus black tea, including a fermentation box 1, a receiving plate 2 slidably connected inside the fermentation box 1, a dispersing cylinder 3 fixedly connected to the receiving plate 2, a cylinder cover 4 hinged to the top of the dispersing cylinder 3, and a plurality of evenly distributed fixing blocks 12 fixedly connected to the dispersing cylinder 3. A plurality of evenly distributed fixing cavity rods 14 are fixedly connected to each fixing block 12. A thrust assembly is fitted between the receiving plate 2 and the bottom of the fermentation box 1, and the thrust assembly is used to push the receiving plate 2 to slide along the inner wall of the fermentation box 1. It also includes a ventilation assembly, which is used to evenly fill the space between the raw materials with gas.
[0025] Furthermore, the inner wall of the fermentation box 1 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed limiting grooves 18, and the outer wall of the receiving plate 2 is fixedly connected with a plurality of evenly distributed limiting blocks 10. The limiting blocks 10 correspond one-to-one with the limiting grooves 18, and the limiting blocks 10 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting grooves 18.
[0026] It is understood that the receiving plate 2 and the limiting block 10 are an integral structure, and the top cover of the fermentation box 1 is provided with a valve for venting (not shown in the figure); the dispersion cylinder 3 is provided with multiple evenly distributed air holes (not marked in the figure).
[0027] Specifically, the thrust assembly pushes the receiving plate 2 to slide along the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1. The limiting groove 18 and the limiting block 10 work together to restrict the receiving plate 2 to slide vertically along the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1. When the thrust assembly drives the receiving plate 2 to slide to the limit position, the raw material continues to move upward under the action of inertia and collides with the fixed cavity rod 14, thereby keeping the raw material loose and effectively reducing the breakage of the raw material. The ventilation assembly evenly fills the space between the raw materials, thereby ensuring that the raw materials can obtain enough oxygen for full contact during the fermentation process.
[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the thrust assembly includes a support block 19, a motor 5, a first rotating plate 6, a second rotating plate 7, a third rotating plate 8, and a fourth rotating plate 9. The support block 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. The motor 5 is fixedly connected to the support block 19. The drive end of the motor 5 passes through the support block 19 and is fixedly connected to the first rotating plate 6. The second rotating plate 7 is rotatably connected to the first rotating plate 6. The upper end of the second rotating plate 7 is rotatably connected to the receiving plate 2. Multiple evenly distributed third rotating plates 8 are also rotatably connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. The fourth rotating plate 9 is rotatably connected to each of the third rotating plates 8, and the top end of the fourth rotating plate 9 is rotatably connected to the receiving plate 2.
[0029] Understandably, the length of the first rotating plate 6 is smaller than that of the second rotating plate 7, which can effectively prevent the receiving plate 2 from colliding with the support block 19.
[0030] Specifically, the drive shaft of motor 5 drives the first rotating plate 6 to rotate, and then the first rotating plate 6 drives the receiving plate 2 to slide along the inner wall of fermentation box 1 through the second rotating plate 7. During this process, the receiving plate 2 drives the third rotating plate 8 to rotate through the fourth rotating plate 9. The multiple sets of third rotating plates 8 and fourth rotating plates 9 work together to effectively prevent the receiving plate 2 from tilting.
[0031] like Figure 2-5 As shown, the ventilation assembly includes an air pump 11, a collar 13, a main air pipe 15, a branch air pipe 16, and an air jet 17; a collar 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the dispersion cylinder 3, the main air pipe 15 is provided inside the collar 13, the branch air pipe 16 is provided inside the fixing block 12, and the main air pipe 15 and the branch air pipe 16 are connected; multiple fixing chamber rods 14 are provided on the fixing chamber rod 14; an air pump 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank 1, and the air outlet of the air pump 11 is connected to the main air pipe 15 through a flexible hose (not shown in the figure), and the flexible hose passes through the receiving plate 2.
[0032] Specifically, the gas enters the main air pipe 15 through the software under the action of the air pump 11, then enters the fixed cavity rod 14 through the branch pipe 16, and then fills the raw material space through the jet nozzle 17.
[0033] Furthermore, the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1 is fixedly connected to a device for regulating temperature and humidity (not shown in the figure), thereby regulating the temperature and humidity of the raw materials.
[0034] Furthermore, a hinged door panel (not shown in the figure) is provided at the lower end of the side wall of the fermentation tank 1. The hinged door panel facilitates the maintenance and use of the related structures at the bottom of the receiving plate 2 and the limiting block 10.
[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the drive shaft of the motor 5 drives the first rotating plate 6 to rotate, and then the first rotating plate 6 drives the receiving plate 2 to slide along the inner wall of the fermentation box 1 through the second rotating plate 7. When the receiving plate 2 slides to the limit position, the raw material continues to move upward under the action of inertia and collides with the fixed cavity rod 14, thereby making the raw material loose. Under the action of the air pump 11, the gas enters the main air pipe 15 through the air pump, and then enters the fixed cavity rod 14 through the branch air pipe 16. After that, it fills the space between the raw materials through the air jet 17.
[0036] The circuits, electronic components, and modules involved are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
