Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tea processing, and in particular to a fermentation device and process for processing and producing rose black tea. Background Art
[0002] Rose black tea is a special tea that combines black tea and rose petals. It has a unique aroma and taste. It is processed by mixing processed black tea and processed rose petals in equal proportions. The production process of black tea generally includes picking fresh leaves, withering, rolling, fermenting and drying.
[0003] During the fermentation process of black tea, the accumulated black tea prevents its internal temperature from dissipating, causing uneven temperature at various locations of the black tea during the fermentation process, reducing the fermentation quality. At the same time, as the black tea ferments, the black tea that is in contact with each other will gradually clump, and the clumped black tea makes it difficult for water vapor to contact all the black tea, causing uneven humidity at various locations of the black tea, further affecting the uniformity of the black tea fermentation and reducing the fermentation effect of the black tea.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0063] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0064] Example 1: A fermentation device for processing and producing rose black tea, referring to Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes: a shell 1, on which a temperature control unit and a humidity control unit are arranged; a switch door 11, which is installed on the shell 1, and a control panel and a plurality of containing shells 111 are installed in the shell 1; a plurality of tracks 12, which are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 1, and the tracks 12 located in the same horizontal plane are a group, and the number of groups of the tracks 12 is the same as the number of the containing shells 111, and each group of the tracks 12 is installed with a first sliding frame 13 through an electric slider, and the first sliding frame 13 is rotatably provided with a rotating column 14, and the first sliding frame 13 is fixedly connected with a motor 141, The output shaft of the motor 141 is transmitted to the rotating column 14 through a gear set; the first fixed frame 15 has a plurality of first rotating frames 16 fixedly connected to the adjacent rotating columns 14, the first fixed frame 15 is provided with a first rotating frame 16, the first rotating frame 16 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed rotating shafts 17, the rotating shafts 17 are used to bottom-pick and flip the materials on the adjacent containing shells 111, so as to loosen the materials in the containing shells 111; the rotating shaft 17 is provided with a rotating sleeve 18, the outer side of the rotating sleeve 18 is provided with an elastic sleeve, and the side wall of the elastic sleeve on the rotating sleeve 18 is provided with a plurality of protrusions.
[0065] In the above solution, the containing shell 111 is detachably installed on the housing 1. The temperature control unit on the housing 1 is used to adjust the temperature inside it, and the humidity control unit on the housing 1 is used to spray water vapor into it to adjust the humidity inside the housing 1. The control panel is electrically connected to all electrical components. The bottom of the containing shell 111 is provided with uniformly distributed through holes. The through holes on the containing shell 111 are used to make the gas contact the black tea evenly, so as to control the overall temperature of the black tea to be relatively uniform. The number of the containing shells 111 is two (the description of the number below is the number shown in the figure, and the actual number can be set according to the actual size of the housing 1). There are four tracks 12, and the four tracks 12 are evenly divided into two groups. Two tracks 12 at the same horizontal height are in a group. In the initial state, the rotating shaft 17 is inclined relative to the adjacent first rotating frame 16 (the state shown in the figure is not this working state). There are seven rotating shafts 17 on the same first fixing frame 15. The elastic sleeve on the rotating sleeve 18 is made of flexible material to reduce the damage to the tea leaves.
[0066] Specific working principle: The operator opens the switch door 11 and takes out the two containing shells 111. Then the operator places the pretreated black tea into the two containing shells 111 and places the two containing shells 111 into the housing 1. Subsequently, the operator closes the switch door 11 and adjusts the corresponding data on the control panel to control the temperature control unit and the humidity control unit to work, adjust the temperature and humidity inside the housing 1, so that the black tea is in a suitable fermentation environment, and at the same time set the time interval for loosening the black tea on the control panel.
[0067] The working process of loosening the black tea is as follows: The control panel starts the electric slider on the first sliding frame 13, and the electric slider drives the adjacent first sliding frame 13 to move downward along the adjacent track 12. The downward movement of the first sliding frame 13 drives the adjacent rotating shaft 17 and the rotating sleeve 18 to be inserted into the black tea through the adjacent rotating column 14, the adjacent first fixing frame 15 and the adjacent first rotating frame 16. Subsequently, the electric slider stops moving, and the control panel starts the motor 141 at the same time. The motor 141 drives the rotating column 14 to rotate through the gear set. The rotating column 14 drives all the rotating shafts 17 and all the rotating sleeves 18 to rotate circumferentially through the adjacent first fixing frame 15 and the adjacent first rotating frame 16. The circumferential rotation of the rotating sleeve 18 stirs and loosens the material in the containing shell 111, avoiding the caking of the black tea during the fermentation process. At the same time, loosening the black tea facilitates the uniform attachment of water vapor to the surface of all the black tea, improving the fermentation uniformity of the black tea.
[0068] After the black tea fermentation is completed, the operator turns off the temperature control unit and the humidity control unit through the control panel. The control panel simultaneously controls the electric slider to move in the reverse direction to reset. Subsequently, after the temperature inside the housing 1 returns to normal, the operator opens the switch door 11 and takes out the fermented black tea in the containing shell 111.
[0069] Embodiment 2: On the basis of Embodiment 1, with reference to Figures 2-4As shown in the figure, it further includes: a plurality of adjusting mechanisms, which are arranged on adjacent first sliding frames 13. The first rotating frame 16 is rotatably connected to the adjacent first fixed frame 15. The adjusting mechanism is used to adjust the swing angle of the first rotating frame 16. The adjusting mechanism includes: an electric push rod 2, which is fixedly connected to the adjacent first sliding frame 13; a second fixed frame 21, which is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the adjacent electric push rod 2; a second rotating frame 22, which is rotatably arranged on the adjacent second fixed frame 21; a rack 23, which is fixedly connected to the adjacent second rotating frame 22; a first rotating shaft 24, which is rotatably arranged on the adjacent first fixed frame 15. A gear meshing with the rack 23 is installed on the first rotating shaft 24. The first rotating shaft 24 and the adjacent first rotating frame 16 are driven by a belt pulley and a belt.
[0070] In the above solution, when the electric push rod 2 works, it drives the rack 23 to move together through the second fixed frame 21 and the second rotating frame 22. The movement of the rack 23 drives the first rotating frame 16 to rotate through the gear, the first rotating shaft 24, the belt pulley and the belt. The rotation of the first rotating frame 16 changes the inclination angle of the rotating shaft 17 and the rotating sleeve 18, which is convenient for the rotating sleeve 18 to stir and loosen black tea with different thicknesses, improving the applicability of the device. At the same time, by controlling the inclination direction of the rotating sleeve 18 during the rotation process, the rotating sleeve 18 loosens the black tea with different intensities, improving the selectivity of the device. The adjustment of the inclination angle of the rotating sleeve 18 is carried out before the operation step of loosening black tea.
[0071] Embodiment 3: On the basis of Embodiment 2, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, it further includes: a plurality of kneading mechanisms, which are arranged on adjacent rotating columns 14. The rotating sleeve 18 is rotatably connected to the adjacent rotating shaft 17. The adjacent rotating shafts 17 are driven by a belt pulley and a belt. The kneading mechanism is used to drive the adjacent rotating shafts 17 to rotate. The kneading mechanism includes: a third fixed frame 3, which is fixedly connected to the adjacent first sliding frame 13, and the third fixed frame 3 is located inside the rotating column 14 and is rotatably connected to it; a fixed shell 31, which is fixedly connected to the adjacent first fixed frame 15, and the third fixed frame 3 penetrates through the adjacent fixed shell 31 and is rotatably connected to it; a second rotating shaft 32, which is rotatably arranged inside the adjacent first rotating frame 16, and penetrates through the adjacent fixed shell 31 and is rotatably connected to it. The second rotating shaft 32 and the adjacent third fixed frame 3 are driven by a bevel gear set. The second rotating shaft 32 and the adjacent rotating shaft 17 are driven by a bevel gear set; a reciprocating component, which is arranged on the adjacent rotating shaft 17. Some of the rotating sleeves 18 on the same first rotating frame 16 are slidably limited to the adjacent rotating shaft 17, and the slidably limited rotating sleeves 18 are distributed at intervals among all the rotating sleeves 18. The remaining rotating sleeves 18 on the same first rotating frame 16 are fixedly connected to the adjacent rotating shaft 17. The reciprocating component is used to drive the adjacent rotating sleeves 18 to move reciprocally.
[0072] In the above solution, the transmission ratio of the bevel gear set between the third fixing frame 3 and the second rotating shaft 32 is greater than 1. During the circumferential rotation of the first fixing frame 15, the second rotating shaft 32 rotates rapidly. The adjacent rotating shafts 17 are driven by pulleys and belts for synchronous rotation of all the rotating shafts 17. The adjacent rotating shafts 17 drive the rotating sleeves 18 to rotate synchronously to simulate the kneading of black tea by both hands and improve the looseness of black tea.
[0073] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the reciprocating assembly includes: a plurality of rotating rods 4, which are slidably arranged in the corresponding rotating shafts 17 and are rotatably connected to the corresponding rotating sleeves 18. A tension spring is installed between the mutually sliding rotating sleeve 18 and the rotating shaft 17; a plurality of first cams 41 are fixedly connected to the adjacent second rotating shafts 32, and the first cams 41 are in pressing fit with the adjacent rotating rods 4.
[0074] In the above solution, in the initial state, three rotating sleeves 18 on the same first fixing frame 15 are slidably connected to the adjacent rotating shafts 17, and the remaining four rotating sleeves 18 are fixedly connected to the adjacent rotating shafts 17, and the tension spring between the rotating sleeve 18 and the adjacent rotating shaft 17 is in a stretched state.
[0075] Specific working principle: During the operation of loosening black tea, the rotating column 14 and the first fixing frame 15 rotate, while the third fixing frame 3 remains stationary. At the same time, due to the meshing of the bevel gear set between the third fixing frame 3 and the second rotating shaft 32, during the rotation of the first fixing frame 15, the second rotating shaft 32 rotates. The second rotating shaft 32 rotates itself and drives the adjacent rotating shafts 17 through the bevel gear set and the pulleys and belts between it and the adjacent rotating shafts 17, so that all the adjacent rotating shafts 17 of the first fixing frame 15 rotate synchronously. The rotating shafts 17 rotate to knead the black tea, and the rotation of the second rotating shaft 32 drives the adjacent first cams 41 to rotate together. The rotation of the first cams 41 presses the adjacent rotating shafts 17. Under the action of the tension of the tension spring between the rotating shaft 17 and the adjacent rotating sleeve 18, the rotating shaft 17 and the adjacent rotating sleeve 18 move up and down reciprocally, so that the adjacent two rotating sleeves 18 knead the black tea passing between them in all directions, facilitating the loosening of black tea and thus facilitating the uniform fermentation of black tea.
[0076] Example 4: On the basis of Example 3, referring to Figure 3 and Figures 6-8As shown in the figure, it further includes: a material turning mechanism, which has several and is arranged on adjacent first fixing frames 15. The material turning mechanism is used to turn over the materials in adjacent containing shells 111. The material turning mechanism includes: a fourth fixing frame 5, fixedly connected to adjacent first fixing frames 15; an inclined plate 51, fixedly connected to adjacent fourth fixing frames 5; an arc plate 52, fixedly connected to adjacent fourth fixing frames 5, and the arc plate 52 is made of elastic material; a fixing plate 53, fixedly connected to adjacent arc plates 52; a jitter component, arranged on adjacent second rotating shafts 32, and the jitter component is used to drive the fixing plate 53 to reciprocate.
[0077] In the above solution, the lower edge of the inclined plate 51 is lower than the lower edge of the first rotating frame 16 when the rotating shaft 17 swings to the horizontal state. The fourth fixing frame 5, the inclined plate 51, the arc plate 52 and the fixing plate 53 form an arc-shaped channel for turning the black tea at the bottom of the containing shell 111 to the upper surface.
[0078] Refer to Figures 6-8 As shown in the figure, the jitter component includes: a second cam 6, fixedly connected to adjacent second rotating shafts 32; a second sliding frame 61, slidably arranged on adjacent first fixing frames 15 and fixedly connected to adjacent fixing plates 53, and the second cam 6 is in extrusion fit with adjacent second sliding frames 61.
[0079] In the above solution, by setting second cams 6 with different sizes, the reciprocating movement frequency of the fixing plate 53 is controlled to increase the intensity of the fixing plate 53 hitting the black tea, ensuring that the black tea falls into the containing shell 111 in a loose state.
[0080] Specific working principle: During the black tea loosening operation, when the rotating shaft 17 is adjusted to the horizontal state, the electric slider moves, so that the inclined plate 51 is inserted into the black tea. Subsequently, the first fixing frame 15 drives the fourth fixing frame 5, the inclined plate 51, the arc plate 52 and the fixing plate 53 to rotate circumferentially (taking Figure 3 as an example, looking at the first fixing frame 15 from top to bottom, it rotates counterclockwise). During the revolution process, the inclined plate 51 shovels the black tea, making the black tea move closer to the arc plate 52. Subsequently, under the limiting action of the arc plate 52, the black tea falls back into the containing shell 111 again. The above work completes the turning over of the black tea in the containing shell 111.
[0081] During the rotation of the first fixing frame 15, the second rotating shaft 32 drives the second cam 6 to rotate at the same time. The second cam 6 rotates and reciprocally extrudes the second sliding frame 61. The second sliding frame 61 is driven by the extrusion to drive the fixing plate 53 to reciprocate. The reciprocating movement of the fixing plate 53 causes the arc plate 52 to deform accordingly. Among them, the reciprocating movement of the fixing plate 53 causes the inverted black tea to fall back into the containing shell 111 again, keeping the temperature of the black tea relatively uniform, thereby improving the uniformity of black tea fermentation.
[0082] Example 5: On the basis of Example 4, with reference to Figure 1 As shown, it further includes an air guiding mechanism disposed on the housing 1. The air guiding mechanism is used to guide the cyclic flow of gas inside the housing 1. The air guiding mechanism includes: a first conduit 7 fixedly connected and communicating with the housing 1; an air pump 71 fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing 1; a second conduit 72 fixedly connected and communicating with the side wall of the housing 1. The second conduit 72 and the first conduit 7 are respectively communicated with the air inlet and the air outlet of the air pump 71. The communication ports of the first conduit 7 with the housing 1 are respectively located below adjacent storage shells 111, and the communication ports of the second conduit 72 with the housing 1 are respectively located above adjacent storage shells 111. Control valves are installed at the communication ports of the first conduit 7 and the second conduit 72 with the housing 1.
[0083] In the above solution, two control valves are installed on both the first conduit 7 and the second conduit 72 and the housing 1. The operator starts the air pump 71 through the control panel. The air pump 71 works to pump the gas in the second conduit 72 into the first conduit 7, causing the gas to circulate inside the housing 1. Then, in cooperation with the water vapor spraying of the humidity control unit, the water vapor uniformly adheres to the surface of the black tea through the storage shell 111. At the same time, during the gas circulation process, by controlling the opening states of the two control valves on the first conduit 7 and the two control valves on the second conduit 72 and the housing 1, the flow path of the gas is controlled (so that the gas passes through the black tea from top to bottom or the gas passes through the black tea from bottom to top). The gas flows through the black tea, causing the gas to carry water vapor and uniformly adhere to the black tea, facilitating the uniform fermentation of the black tea.
[0084] Example 6: On the basis of Example 5, with reference to Figures 1-7 As shown, the present invention further provides a fermentation process for the processing and production of rose black tea. Based on the above-mentioned fermentation device for the processing and production of rose black tea, it includes the following steps:
[0085] S1: Add the processed tea materials into the storage shell 111, then place the storage shell 111 into the housing 1. Subsequently, adjust the operation of its internal temperature control unit and humidity control unit through the control panel on the switch door 11 to assist the fermentation of the materials inside the storage shell 111;
[0086] S2: After the materials inside the storage shell 111 have fermented for a period of time, start the electric push rod 2 through the control panel. The electric push rod 2 drives the adjacent first rotating frame 16 to drive the adjacent rotating shaft 17 to swing through the connected parts. After the swinging of the rotating shaft 17 is completed, the control panel turns off the electric push rod 2;
[0087] S3: After the angle of the rotating shaft 17 is adjusted, start the operation of the electric slider and the motor 141 on the first sliding frame 13 through the control panel.
