Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea fixing machine technology, and in particular to a condensate collection structure for a tea fixing machine. Background Technology

[0002] The fixation process is a crucial step in tea processing that determines quality. It involves rapidly deactivating oxidases in fresh leaves at high temperatures, preventing the oxidation and browning of polyphenols and other substances, thus preserving the tea's fresh flavor and vibrant green color. Simultaneously, evaporating some moisture softens the tea leaves, making them easier to roll and shape later. This process demands extremely high precision in temperature control, fixation time, and the evenness of heating, directly impacting the aroma, color, taste, and storability of the tea. It is an indispensable key step in the processing of several major tea categories, including green tea, yellow tea, and oolong tea.

[0003] In existing technologies, during the withering process of tea leaves, the moisture in the fresh leaves evaporates upon heating and quickly condenses when exposed to a lower temperature environment. If this condensate is not collected and treated effectively in a timely manner, it can easily drip onto the withering tea leaves, negatively impacting the withering effect and leading to a decline in tea quality. Furthermore, the condensate is difficult to collect and treat, making effective recycling and reuse challenging and resulting in resource waste. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of difficulty in collecting and recycling condensate in the existing technology, and to propose a condensate collection structure for a tea fixing machine.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a condensate collection structure for a tea fixing machine, comprising a support frame, a collection cover, a fixing device, and a water collection tank.

[0006] The top of the support frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the collection hood. The blanching device is located inside the collection hood. A connecting frame is fixedly connected to the side of the support frame. A water collection tank is provided inside the connecting frame. A water conveying pipe is connected through the top of the water collection tank. A water pump is fixedly connected to the end of the water conveying pipe away from the water collection tank. The input end of the water pump is connected through the bottom end of one side surface of the collection hood.

[0007] The collection cover includes an upper cover and a lower cover. The lower cover is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame. The upper cover and the lower cover are fixedly connected by bolts. The inner wall of the upper cover is provided with a flow guide groove, and the inner bottom wall of the lower cover is fixedly provided with a flow diversion slope.

[0008] Furthermore, the blanching device includes a drive mechanism, which is fixedly installed on one side surface of the collecting cover. A roller is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive mechanism, and a lever is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the roller. The end of the roller away from the drive mechanism is rotatably connected to the collecting cover.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a drive wheel connected to the outer surface of the lower cover via a bearing. A servo motor is fixedly mounted on the surface of the drive wheel. The output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drive wheel. A belt is sleeved on the outer wall of the drive wheel. A driven wheel is sleeved on the inner wall of the belt away from the drive wheel. A rotating rod is fixedly connected to the side of the driven wheel. The end of the rotating rod away from the drive wheel is fixedly connected to a roller.

[0010] Furthermore, the actuating rod includes a connecting rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drum, a fixing frame fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the inner wall of the drum, the fixing frame fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drum, and a stirring rod fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall of the roller is provided with a rectangular groove, and the end of the roller away from the drive mechanism is provided with a feed port, and a sealing door is hinged to the outer surface of the feed port.

[0012] Furthermore, the support frame includes a fixed plate, and support columns are fixedly connected to both ends of the top of the fixed plate, and the collection cover is fixedly connected to the top of the support columns.

[0013] Furthermore, a drain pipe is connected through the outer surface of the water collection tank.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] In this invention, by setting an upper cover and a lower cover for the collection hood, the guide groove on the inner wall of the upper cover can guide the condensate, and the drainage slope on the bottom inner wall of the lower cover can collect the condensate to the bottom of one side of the collection hood. Then, with the help of a water pump and a water delivery pipe, the condensate is transported to the water collection tank, realizing the recycling of condensate. The condensate can be discharged through the drain pipe for effective utilization, avoiding condensate residue or dripping onto the tea leaves, which would affect the withering quality. At the same time, the upper cover and the lower cover are fixedly connected by bolts, which facilitates installation, disassembly and internal cleaning. This solves the problem that condensate cannot be collected and treated in time during use, and is easy to drip onto the tea leaves, thus affecting the withering effect. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a condensate collection structure for a tea fixing machine, including a support frame 1, a collection cover 2, a fixing device 3, and a water collection tank 4.

[0024] The top of the support frame 1 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the collection hood 2. The blanching device 3 is located inside the collection hood 2. A connecting frame 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the support frame 1. A water collection tank 4 is provided inside the connecting frame 11. A water conveying pipe 5 is connected through the top of the water collection tank 4. A water pump 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the water conveying pipe 5 away from the water collection tank 4. The input end of the water pump 6 is connected through the bottom end of one side surface of the collection hood 2.

[0025] The following section will explain the specific setup and function of the collection cover 2 and the water collection tank 4.

[0026] In this embodiment: the collection cover 2 includes an upper cover 21 and a lower cover 22. The lower cover 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1. The upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22 are fixedly connected by bolts. The inner wall of the upper cover 21 is provided with a guide groove 23, and the inner bottom wall of the lower cover 22 is fixedly provided with a drainage slope 24.

[0027] The above components achieve the following effects: the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22 are connected by bolts, which not only ensures the sealing of the collection hood 2 and prevents water vapor from leaking out, but also facilitates disassembly to clean the internal residual condensate and impurities; the guide grooves 23 on the inner wall of the upper cover 21 are spirally distributed, which can guide the top condensate to flow along the groove to the edge, avoiding direct dripping; the drainage slope 24 of the lower cover 22 is inclined to the bottom of the collection hood 2, which can guide the collected condensate to the input end of the water pump 6, improving the condensate collection efficiency.

[0028] Specifically, the blanching device 3 includes a drive mechanism 31, which is fixedly installed on one side surface of the collection cover 2. A roller 32 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive mechanism 31. A lever 33 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the roller 32. The end of the roller 32 away from the drive mechanism 31 is rotatably connected to the collection cover 2.

[0029] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the drive mechanism 31 provides rotational power to the drum 32, so that the drum 32 rotates stably inside the collection cover 2; during the rotation of the drum 32, the internal actuating rod 33 continuously turns the tea leaves to ensure that the tea leaves are heated evenly and avoid local over- or under-processing; the rotational connection design between the drum 32 and the collection cover 2 reduces the frictional resistance during rotation and ensures the stability of the structure operation.

[0030] Specifically, the drive mechanism 31 includes a drive wheel 311 connected to the outer surface of the lower cover 22 via a bearing. A servo motor 312 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the drive wheel 311. The output end of the servo motor 312 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drive wheel 311. A belt 313 is sleeved on the outer wall of the drive wheel 311. A driven wheel 314 is sleeved on the inner wall of the belt 313 away from the drive wheel 311. A rotating rod 315 is fixedly connected to the side of the driven wheel 314. One end of the rotating rod 315 away from the drive wheel 311 is fixedly connected to the roller 32.

[0031] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the servo motor 312 can precisely control the speed of the drive wheel 311, which drives the driven wheel 314 to rotate synchronously through the belt 313, thereby causing the rotating rod 315 to drive the drum 32 to rotate, realizing precise speed adjustment to adapt to the different tea processing requirements; the bearing connection reduces the wear of the drive wheel 311 during rotation and extends the service life of the equipment; the belt drive has a buffering and shock absorption effect, avoiding component damage that may be caused by rigid connection.

[0032] Specifically, the actuating lever 33 includes a connecting rod 331 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drum 32. A fixing frame is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 331 away from the inner wall of the drum 32. The fixing frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drum 32. A stirring rod 332 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting rod 331.

[0033] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the connecting rod 331 is designed to prevent deformation caused by the accumulation of tea leaves; the stirring rods 332 are staggered and can turn the tea leaves at the bottom of the drum 32 upwards, ensuring that each layer of tea leaves can fully contact the heat source and improve the uniformity of fixing.

[0034] Specifically, the outer wall of the roller 32 is provided with a rectangular groove 34, and the end of the roller 32 away from the drive mechanism 31 is provided with a feed inlet 35, and a sealing door 36 is hinged to the outer surface of the feed inlet 35.

[0035] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the rectangular groove 34 facilitates heat exchange between the inside of the drum 32 and the external heat source, while also allowing some water vapor to be discharged; the feed inlet 35 facilitates the addition and removal of tea leaves; and the sealing door 36 maintains the sealing of the drum 32 during the fixation process, preventing heat loss and water vapor leakage, and ensuring the stability of the fixation temperature.

[0036] Specifically, the support frame 1 includes a fixed plate 12, and support columns 13 are fixedly connected to both ends of the top of the fixed plate 12. The collection cover 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support column 13.

[0037] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the fixing plate 12 increases the contact area with the ground, improves the stability of the overall structure, and prevents the equipment from shifting due to vibration during operation; the support column 13 is made of high-strength alloy material, which can bear the weight of the collection cover 2 and the blanching device 3, and at the same time raises the equipment to facilitate the installation and maintenance of the water collection tank 4.

[0038] Specifically, a drain pipe 41 is connected to the outer surface of the water collection tank 4.

[0039] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the drain pipe 41 can discharge the condensate collected in the water collection tank 4, which is convenient for centralized recycling and reuse, and reduces water waste; a valve can be installed on the drain pipe 41 to facilitate control of the drainage timing and discharge volume, and prevent the water collection tank 4 from overflowing.

[0040] Working principle: When in use, fresh leaves are first put into the drum 32 through the feed port 35, the sealing door 36 is closed, the servo motor 312 is started, the drive wheel 311 drives the driven wheel 314 to rotate through the belt 313, which in turn drives the rotating rod 315 to drive the drum 32 to rotate in the collection cover 2. The agitator 33 inside the drum 32 continuously turns the tea leaves, so that they are heated evenly.

[0041] During the withering process, the water vapor evaporated from the fresh leaves condenses on the inner wall of the collection hood 2. The guide groove 23 of the upper cover 21 guides the condensate to the edge, and the drainage slope 24 of the lower cover 22 collects the condensate to the bottom of one side of the collection hood 2. The water pump 6 pumps the condensate into the water collection tank 4 for storage through the water delivery pipe 5. Finally, the condensate can be discharged and recycled through the drain pipe 41. After withering is completed, the servo motor 312 is turned off, the sealing door 36 is opened and the tea leaves are taken out, and the upper cover 21 can be removed to clean the inside of the collection hood 2.
