Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea drying racks. Background Technology
[0002] The production of Ancha tea includes primary processing and refining. The primary processing involves four steps: withering, fixation, rolling, and drying. The refining process involves ten steps: sieving, winnowing, sorting, blending, high-temperature drying, overnight dew treatment, steaming to soften, packing into baskets, rack drying, and wrapping.
[0003] The process involves several steps: The tea is packed into baskets and tied into strips (packing: while the steamed tea is still hot, it is packed into bamboo baskets lined with reed leaves, weighed to ensure sufficient quantity, and pressed tightly), placed on a drying rack or drying trough, at a temperature of 120℃, covered with a cotton quilt, and placed under charcoal fire for 24 hours. The cotton quilt absorbs moisture from the tea leaves and allows the heat to circulate within the trough, ensuring even heating of the tea. The process also involves binding several strips of tea into a larger bundle with reed leaves and bamboo strips, then placing it in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry tea storage room. This completes the tea processing, ready for sale or natural aging.
[0004] Currently, there are no mature drying racks on the market. Most use cement structures, which are built into drying troughs, similar to the structure of a traditional earthen stove, to achieve the drying process for Ancha tea. This type of structure is fixed in position and cannot be moved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a simple and reliable drying device for the tea rack drying process, which can solve the problem that the existing structure is fixed in position and cannot be moved.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a drying device for the tea rack drying process, including a support frame, a box set on the support frame, a drying chamber set inside the box, and an open top for the drying chamber; an isolation mesh plate is set in the upper part of the drying chamber, which separates the drying chamber into an upper drying layer and a lower charcoal layer; several guide rail groups are set in the lower charcoal layer of the drying chamber, each guide rail group including two guide rails whose ends are respectively connected to the front and rear walls of the drying chamber; each guide rail group is set at equal intervals; a window is opened on the outer wall of the front side of the box corresponding to each guide rail group; each guide rail group is set with a charcoal trough that can be pulled out and pulled in through the corresponding window; the top of the charcoal trough is open.
[0007] Furthermore, each window is equipped with an openable and closable door, one end of which is hinged to the outer wall of the box.
[0008] Furthermore, the four side walls and bottom of the enclosure are all equipped with insulation layers.
[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the charcoal trough has a perforated plate structure; a slag discharge port communicating with the lower charcoal layer is opened on one side of the box, and a slag discharge cover plate that can be opened and closed is set at the slag discharge port position of the box; a slag discharge plate is set at the lower charcoal layer of the drying chamber, the slag discharge plate is set at an angle downward, and the slag discharge port is connected to the bottom of the slag discharge plate; the slag discharge cover plate is hinged to the outer wall of the box.
[0010] Furthermore, each charcoal trough is equipped with an isolation mesh plate in the lower middle part of the trough, which separates the charcoal trough into an upper charcoal placement layer and a lower ash collection layer.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up several sets of guide rails and charcoal fire troughs that are compatible with each set of guide rails, the distribution of charcoal fire in the drying chamber can be controlled, thereby controlling the overall temperature of the drying chamber. At the same time, the lower charcoal fire layer is a whole, and the fire temperature of each charcoal fire trough works together to construct the fire temperature of the entire lower charcoal fire layer, making the temperature distribution of the lower charcoal fire layer more uniform, and ultimately improving the product quality during rack drying. The whole structure is simple, reliable, easy to implement, and can be moved flexibly as needed.
[0012] The purpose of installing windows and doors is to improve the sealing effect and increase the utilization rate of the heat inside the drying chamber.
[0013] The insulation layer is designed to improve energy efficiency.
[0014] 4. The slag discharge plate and inspection cover can achieve one-time slag discharge, improving the convenience of slag discharge.
[0015] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] Examples, such as Figures 1 to 3The drying device shown includes a support 1, a housing 2 mounted on the support 1, and a drying chamber 3 inside the housing 2. The top of the drying chamber 3 is open. An isolation mesh plate 14 is installed in the upper part of the drying chamber 3, dividing the drying chamber 3 into an upper drying layer 4 and a lower charcoal layer 5. Several guide rail groups 6 are installed in the lower charcoal layer 5 of the drying chamber 3. Each guide rail group 6 includes two guide rails whose ends are respectively connected to the front and rear walls of the drying chamber 3. The guide rail groups 6 are evenly spaced. A window 7 is opened on the front outer wall of the housing 2 corresponding to each guide rail group 6. Each guide rail group 6 is equipped with a charcoal trough 8 that can be pulled out and pulled in through the corresponding window 7. The top of the charcoal trough 8 is open. The top of the charcoal trough 8 and the isolation mesh plate 14 are spaced apart, with the specific spacing selected as needed. The support 1 and the housing 2 are mainly made of stainless steel.
[0021] Each window 7 is equipped with an openable and closable door 9, one end of which is hinged to the outer wall of the box 2.
[0022] The four side walls and bottom of the enclosure 2 are all equipped with insulation layers. The insulation layers can be designed with reference to existing insulation structures. The specific arrangement is not an innovation of this utility model and will not be described in more detail here.
[0023] The bottom of the charcoal trough 8 is a perforated plate structure 10; a slag discharge port 11 communicating with the lower charcoal layer 5 is opened on one side of the box body 2, and a slag discharge cover plate 13 that can be opened and closed is set at the slag discharge port 11 of the box body 2; a slag discharge plate 12 is set at the lower charcoal layer 5 of the drying chamber 3, the slag discharge plate 12 is set at an angle downward, and the bottom of the slag discharge port 11 is connected to the slag discharge plate 12; the slag discharge cover plate 13 is hinged to the outer wall of the box body 2.
[0024] Each charcoal trough 8 has a handle on the side facing the window 7.
[0025] Example 2 presents a drying device for the tea rack drying process based on Example 1, but with a different design in the charcoal trough 8. Each charcoal trough 8 has a partition mesh plate installed in the lower middle part, dividing the charcoal trough 8 into an upper charcoal placement layer and a lower ash collection layer. This structure eliminates the need for a separate slag discharge port 11.
