[0031] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments 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.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a Liubao tea fermentation steam humidification device, including a humidifying chamber 1, a steam generating assembly 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the humidifying chamber 1, a ball screw 4 is rotatably connected to the top of the humidifying chamber 1, a driven gear 5 is fixedly installed on the right end of the ball screw 4, a half gear 6 is rotatably connected to the top of the right end of the humidifying chamber 1, a transmission wheel 7 is fixedly installed on the right end of the half gear 6, a transmission belt 8 is connected to the surface of the transmission wheel 7 for transmission, a servo motor 9 is fixedly installed on the right end of the humidifying chamber 1, a moving tube 10 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the humidifying chamber 1, a driving motor 11 is slidably connected to the top surface of the humidifying chamber 1, a meshing plate 12 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the driving motor 11, a positioning bar 13 is fixedly installed on the front end of the moving tube 10, and the rear end of the meshing plate 12 is inserted into the positioning bar 13;

[0033] A tee pipe 14 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the movable tube 10. The front and rear ends of the tee pipe 14 are rotatably connected to a rotating pipe 17. A nozzle 18 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating pipe 17. A second transmission wheel 19 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 11 and the surface of the rotating pipe 17. The surface of the second transmission wheel 19 is connected to a second transmission belt 20. There are two rotating pipes 17, and the two rotating pipes 17 are fixed in the tee pipe 14 by a connecting rod.

[0034] A steam outlet pipe 21 is fixedly installed at the front end of the steam generating assembly 2, and a connecting hose 22 is fixedly installed between the steam outlet pipe 21 and the moving pipe 10;

[0035] The servo motor 9 drives the transmission wheel 7 to rotate, and the transmission belt 8 drives the two transmission wheels 7 to drive the two half gears 6 to rotate synchronously. When the rear half gear 6 is engaged with the driven gear 5, the front half gear 6 is not engaged with the driven gear 5. At this time, the driven gear 5 rotates in one direction. When the rear half gear 6 is separated from the driven gear 5, the front half gear 6 is engaged with the driven gear 5, thereby driving the driven gear 5 to rotate in the other direction, thereby driving the ball screw 4 to rotate back and forth periodically. When the ball screw 4 rotates back and forth, it drives the moving tube 10 to move left and right, and at the same time, the driving motor 11 drives the rotating tube 17 to rotate under the drive of the transmission belt 2 20. During the humidification process, the raw material is turned vertically by the rotation of the nozzle 18, and the raw material is turned horizontally by the left and right movement of the rotating tube 17. During the entire turning process, the steam sprayed from the nozzle 18 can evenly contact the raw material, thereby improving the humidification effect.

[0036] Among them, the top surface of the humidifying chamber 1 is slidably connected with a cylinder 23, the output end of the cylinder 23 is fixedly sleeved with a connecting piece 24, the front end of the connecting piece 24 is fixedly connected to the moving tube 10, the left and right ends of the humidifying chamber 1 are rotatably connected with transmission rollers 25, the surface of the transmission roller 25 is transmission-connected with a conveyor belt 26, the left end of the humidifying chamber 1 is fixedly mounted with a stepping motor 27 for driving the transmission roller 25, the surface of the conveyor belt 26 is fixedly mounted with a push plate 28, a feed hopper 29 is fixedly mounted on the left side of the top of the humidifying chamber 1, side plates 33 are fixedly mounted on the left and right ends of the humidifying chamber 1, the left end of the side plate 33 is fixedly mounted with a push rod 34, the bottom end of the push rod 34 is fixedly mounted with a connecting shaft 35, and the surface of the connecting shaft 35 is rotatably connected with the baffle 3;

[0037] When the baffle 3 is in a vertical state, it is hindered by the connecting shaft 35 and cannot rotate clockwise. When the push plate 28 moves to the baffle 3, the baffle 3 can be pushed to rotate counterclockwise to ensure the smooth entry of the push plate 28. By arranging four equidistant push plates 28 on the conveyor belt 26, a working area is formed between two adjacent push plates 28. When the raw materials in a working area are humidified, the working area on the left is pre-laid, and the side plate 33 is provided to prevent the overflow of raw materials. After the humidification is completed, the next batch of raw materials can be sent into the humidification chamber 1 while the materials are discharged, thereby realizing the simultaneous discharging and feeding, thereby improving the working efficiency of the device.

[0038] The inner cavity of the steam generating assembly 2 is fixedly mounted with a positioning shaft 30, and the surface of the positioning shaft 30 is slidably connected with a floating plate 31;

[0039] A floating plate 31 is provided in the inner cavity of the steam generating assembly 2. The buoyancy of the floating plate 31 can float above the liquid surface in the steam generating assembly 2. When the amount of water in the steam generating assembly 2 decreases, the floating plate 31 can open the water inlet pipe 203 as the liquid level drops. At this time, the normally open water source connected to the water inlet pipe 203 will automatically replenish water into the steam generating assembly 2, thereby improving the degree of automation of the device.

[0040] The steam generating assembly 2 includes a water tank 201, which is fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the humidifying chamber 1 and below the conveyor belt 26. A heating wire 202 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the water tank 201, and a water inlet pipe 203 is fixedly mounted on the left end of the water tank 201.

[0041] The heating wire 202 can heat the water in the water tank 201 to generate steam. The generated steam enters the moving pipe 10 through the steam outlet pipe 21 and the connecting hose 22, and is finally ejected through the nozzle 18, thereby humidifying the raw material.

[0042] Among them, the inner cavities of the front and rear ends of the tee pipe 14 are fixedly installed with clamping rings 15, and the end of the rotating pipe 17 close to the tee pipe 14 is fixedly installed with a plug-in ring 16, which is clamped on the inner side of the clamping ring 15;

[0043] Through the cooperation of the clamping ring 15 and the plug ring 16, the rotating tube 17 can be positioned on the tee tube 14, thereby preventing the rotating tube 17 from falling off and ensuring the smooth operation of the device.

[0044] The feed hopper 29 is located above the conveyor belt 26. There are four push plates 28. The distance between two adjacent push plates 28 is equal to the width of the ball screw 4.

[0045] This ensures that the raw materials in the feed hopper 29 can accurately fall onto the conveyor belt 26 and prevents the raw materials from entering the humidification chamber 1 .

[0046] The surface of the moving tube 10 is spline-connected with a positioning plate 32, and the positioning plate 32 is slidably connected to the top of the humidifying chamber 1;

[0047] The spline-connected positioning plate 32 can position the moving tube 10 when the moving tube 10 moves left and right to prevent the moving tube 10 from rotating. The spline connection can ensure that the moving tube 10 slides up and down smoothly on the positioning plate 32.

[0048] The floating plate 31 is in an "L" shape, and the left side of the floating plate 31 is in contact with the left side of the inner cavity of the water tank 201;

[0049] This ensures that when the liquid level is higher than the water inlet pipe 203 , the water inlet pipe 203 can be completely blocked to prevent water from entering the steam generating assembly 2 .

[0050] There are two half gears 6 , which are respectively meshed with the front and rear ends of the driven gear 5 , and the ball screw 4 is meshed with the meshing plate 12 .

[0051] Working principle and usage process:

[0052] When in use, the raw materials are poured into the feed hopper 29. At this time, the raw materials will fall onto the conveyor belt 26 through the bottom of the feed hopper 29. When the height of the raw materials is greater than the distance between the conveyor belt 26 and the feed hopper 29, the raw materials cannot continue to fall.

[0053] At this time, the stepper motor 27 is started, and the stepper motor 27 drives the raw materials to be transported to the right. During this process, the raw materials blocked in the feed hopper 29 will continuously enter the humidification chamber 1. At this time, the feed hopper 29 will continuously discharge the materials until the space between the two adjacent push plates 28 is filled. When the other push plate 28 reaches the left side of the humidification chamber 1, the feed hopper 29 repeats the above steps to prepare the materials for the next processing.

[0054] The cylinder 23 drives the connecting piece 24 downward, so that the connecting piece 24 drives the rotating tube 17 through the moving tube 10 and inserts it into the raw material;

[0055] The servo motor 9 is started. The servo motor 9 drives the two half gears 6 to rotate through the transmission belt 1 8. The two half gears 6 are engaged with the driven gear 5, which drives the ball screw 4 to rotate back and forth. When the ball screw 4 rotates, the meshing plate 12 meshed with the surface of the ball screw 4 can be driven to move periodically left and right.

[0056] At the same time, the driving motor 11 drives the rotating tube 17 to rotate through the transmission belt 20, so that the rotating tube 17 drives the nozzle 18 to rotate and move back and forth in the raw material, thereby turning the raw material;

[0057] The steam generating assembly 2 generates steam, which is transported to the rotating tube 17 through the steam outlet pipe 21, the connecting hose 22 and the moving pipe 10, and finally ejected through the nozzle 18. When the nozzle 18 rotates and moves back and forth, the raw material is humidified.

[0058] When humidification is completed, the cylinder 23 drives the connecting piece 24 to move upward, and then drives the rotating tube 17 to move above the push plate 28. At this time, the stepper motor 27 drives the conveyor belt 26 to rotate again, so that the humidified product is discharged through the right end of the humidifying chamber 1, and notifies the transportation of the next batch of raw materials.
