Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of tea processing, and more particularly to a tea fixation device. Background Technology

[0002] The tea-making process is very complex, and among the steps, "kill-green" (or "fixing") is an essential one. Kill-green involves treating fresh tea leaves at high temperatures to deactivate enzymes, inhibit the enzymatic oxidation of polyphenols and other components, and evaporate some moisture. This softens the tea leaves, making them easier to roll and shape, while also releasing a unique aroma that contributes to the formation of a pleasant fragrance. This step plays a crucial role in the final quality of the tea.

[0003] Currently, in the process of fixing tea leaves, the tea leaves to be processed are usually placed in a heated drum and rotated inside by a stirring rod to turn the tea leaves. However, this one-way stirring method causes some tea leaves to sink to the bottom and remain unmoved, thus reducing the effectiveness of fixing the tea leaves. Summary of the Invention

[0038] Reference Figures 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a tea fixing device, the device comprising,

[0039] The mounting mechanism 100 includes a base plate 101, a support leg 102 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the base plate 101, and a groove 103 formed at the top end of the base plate 101. A mounting frame 104 is fixedly connected to the top end of the base plate 101, a support member 105 is provided at the top end of the base plate 101, and a driving member 106 is provided inside the mounting frame 104.

[0040] The rotating mechanism 200 includes an outer cylinder 201 located at the top of the support component 105, a guide ring 202 fixedly connected to the outside of the outer cylinder 201, and a feed pipe 203 fixedly connected to the outside of the outer cylinder 201. A cover 204 is provided inside the feed pipe 203. A connecting plate 205 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 201, and an inner cylinder 206 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting plate 205.

[0041] The inner cylinder 206 is equipped with an adjusting component 207, one end of the outer cylinder 201 is equipped with a triggering component 208, the inner cylinder 206 is equipped with a stirring component 209, and the other end of the outer cylinder 201 is equipped with a guiding component 210.

[0042] Specifically, the support component 105 includes a support frame 105a fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 101, a crossbar 105b fixedly connected to the outside of the support frame 105a, and an annular frame 105c fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 105a. The inner wall of the annular frame 105c is provided with positioning wheels 105d.

[0043] The outer cylinder 201 is mounted on the positioning wheel 105d via the guide ring 202.

[0044] Furthermore, the drive component 106 includes a motor 106a adapted to be installed inside the mounting frame 104, a rotating rod 106b fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 106a, and a gear 106c fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 106b. An active turntable 106d is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 106b.

[0045] Among them, a belt 106e is provided on the outer side of the active turntable 106d.

[0046] Preferably, the triggering component 208 includes a chassis 208a fixedly connected to the outside of the outer cylinder 201, a toothed ring 208b fixedly connected to the outside of the chassis 208a, and a compression ball 208c fixedly connected to the outside of the chassis 208a.

[0047] It should be noted that the stirring component 209 includes a sleeve 209a rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 104, a driven turntable 209b fixedly connected to the outside of the sleeve 209a, and a rotating rod 209c slidably connected to one end of the sleeve 209a.

[0048] The sleeve 209a has an internal spring.

[0049] Preferably, the stirring component 209 further includes a blade 209d fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 209c, a stirring rod 209e fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 209c, and a pressing plate 209f fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 209c.

[0050] In use, the lid 204 is opened, the tea leaves to be processed are placed into the inner cylinder 206, the lid 204 is then closed, one end of the air pipe 210a is connected to the steam source, and finally the motor 106a is turned on. The operation of the motor 106a drives the gear 106c at one end of the rotating rod 106b and the outer drive turntable 106d to rotate. The rotation of the gear 106c drives the gear ring 208b to rotate, which in turn drives the outer cylinder 201 and the inner cylinder 206 to rotate.

[0051] The active turntable 106d drives the driven turntable 209b to rotate via the belt 106e. The driven turntable 209b drives the sleeve 209a and the rotating rod 209c at one end of the sleeve 209a to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 209c drives the blades 209d and the stirring rod 209e to rotate. Since the rotation direction of the outer cylinder 201 and the inner cylinder 206 is opposite to the rotation direction of the stirring rod 209e, the tea leaves can be effectively stirred and kneaded, improving the withering effect. Moreover, the rotation of the blades 209d can increase the speed at which steam enters the outer cylinder 201, thereby further improving the withering effect of the tea leaves.

[0052] In summary, once the equipment is running, the inner cylinder 206 and the stirring rod 209e rotate in both directions to knead and fix the tea leaves. Compared with traditional methods, this method can effectively fix the tea leaves. Moreover, the rotating blades 209d can increase the speed at which steam enters the outer cylinder 201, thereby further improving the fixing effect on the tea leaves. Example 2

[0053] Reference Figures 4-6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the guide component 210 includes an air guide pipe 210a rotatably connected to the outer cylinder 201, an installation ring 210b fixedly connected inside the air guide pipe 210a, and a rotating shaft 210c rotatably connected to the inner wall of the installation ring 210b. A guide plate 210d is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 210c. The guide plate 210d is connected by a hinge rod 210e. A torsion spring is provided inside the rotating shaft 210c.

[0054] Furthermore, the guide component 210 also includes a push rod 210f fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 209c;

[0055] The two ends of the hinge rod 210e are hinged to the guide plate 210d, and the air duct 210a is set at the top of the base plate 101 through the column.

[0056] When the outer cylinder 201 and the rotating rod 209c rotate in both directions, the extrusion ball 208c on the outer side of the chassis 208a will press against the extrusion plate 209f. At this time, the extrusion plate 209f will be subjected to the extrusion force, which will drive the rotating rod 209c to slide into the sleeve 209a and compress the inner spring inside the sleeve 209a, causing the inner spring to contract. When the extrusion ball 208c does not press against the extrusion plate 209f, the elasticity of the inner spring will drive the rotating rod 209c to return to its original position. Since the outer cylinder 201 and the rotating rod 209c continuously rotate in both directions, the rotating rod 209c will continuously slide back and forth.

[0057] The reciprocating sliding inner cylinder 206 drives the stirring rod 209e to oscillate continuously inside the inner cylinder 206, thereby further improving the kneading effect on the tea leaves. Furthermore, the reciprocating sliding inner cylinder 206 and the rotating rod 209c drive the push rod 210f to push the guide plates 210d on both sides, causing the guide plates 210d to rotate around the rotating shaft 210c. Combined with the design of the hinge rod 210e, multiple sets of guide plates 210d rotate simultaneously. The rotation of the guide plates 210d causes the airflow entering the outer cylinder 201 to oscillate. When the push rod 210f stops pushing the guide plates 210d on both sides, the torsion spring inside the rotating shaft 210c will reset, thus achieving continuous reciprocating oscillation of the guide plates 210d. This further improves the uniformity of steam entering the outer cylinder 201.

[0058] In summary, once the equipment is running, the inner cylinder 206 and the stirring rod 209e rotate in both directions to knead and fix the tea leaves. In addition, the oscillating stirring rod 209e can effectively fix the tea leaves compared to traditional methods. Moreover, the rotating blades 209d and the oscillating guide plate 210d can increase the speed at which steam enters the outer cylinder 201, thereby further improving the fixing effect on the tea leaves. Example 3

[0059] Reference Figure 7 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that the adjusting component 207 includes a slide rod 207a slidably connected inside the inner cylinder 206, an air collecting cover 207b fixedly connected to one end of the slide rod 207a, and a scraper 207c fixedly connected to the outside of the slide rod 207a.

[0060] Among them, the scraper 207c is designed to be inclined on the outside of the slide bar 207a.

[0061] Furthermore, the adjusting component 207 also includes a spiral groove 207d opened on the outside of the slide rod 207a, a return spring 207e sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 207a, and a limiting ball 207f fixedly connected inside the outer cylinder 201.

[0062] The limiting ball 207f is located inside the spiral groove 207d.

[0063] When in use, when the steam flow changes to blow upwards and downwards, the airflow will blow against the air collecting hood 207b, causing the air collecting hood 207b to be compressed, which in turn causes the slide rod 207a to slide and compress the return spring 207e. With the limit ball 207f located inside the spiral groove 207d, the slide rod 207a will rotate while sliding, which will cause the scraper 207c on the outside of the slide rod 207a to swing. When the air collecting hood 207b is not blown, the return spring 207e will return to its original position.

[0064] When the inclined scraper 207c rotates, it can scoop up a portion of the tea leaves and spread them inside the inner cylinder 206. Combined with the oscillating design of the scraper 207c, it can improve the effect of the scraper 207c in spreading the tea leaves, and further improve the tea leaf fixation effect.

[0065] In summary, once the equipment is running, the inner cylinder 206 and the stirring rod 209e rotate in both directions to knead and fix the tea leaves. Combined with the oscillating stirring rod 209e, this method effectively fixes the tea leaves compared to traditional methods. Furthermore, the rotating blades 209d and the oscillating guide plate 210d increase the speed at which steam enters the outer cylinder 201, further enhancing the fixing effect. The oscillating design of the scraper 207c improves its ability to disperse the tea leaves, further enhancing the fixing effect.
