[0003] For example, a tea fermentation processing device is disclosed in the announcement No. CN 117751995 B. When the hinged plate No. 1 rotates with the tank body, the blocking plate will squeeze the hinged plate No. 1. The hinged plate No. 1 is squeezed by the blocking plate, and the blocking plate remains motionless. After the hinged plate No. 1 is squeezed, the hinged plate No. 1 rotates counterclockwise. When the tank body rotates, the tank body drives the hinged plate No. 1 to move, and the tank body drives the hinged plate No. 1 to cross the blocking plate. At this time, the torsion spring on the hinged plate No. 1 is elastically reset, and the hinged plate No. 1 rotates clockwise. The hinged plate No. 1 pushes the tea leaves inside. When the hinged plate No. 1 is reset, the tea leaves are pushed to achieve tea dispersion, further avoiding the problem of tea leaves sticking due to the reaction of polyphenol oxidase with tea polyphenols in the tea leaves during tea fermentation. However, when the above device is used to ferment tea leaves, its internal space is limited and the heat of the tea leaves cannot be effectively dissipated during the fermentation. Therefore, there is a problem of local overheating. Therefore, a tea fermentation processing device is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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 creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] See also Figure 1-7 One embodiment of the present invention is: a tea fermentation processing device, including a base 1, and also including: Two legs 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 1; The fermentation tank 3 is rotatably connected between the two legs 2 via a connecting shaft 8, and a motor is installed on the left leg 2, and the output end of the motor is connected to the left side of the connecting shaft 8 to drive the connecting shaft 8 to rotate; A material discharge cover plate 4 is installed on both sides of the outer wall of the fermentation tank 3 for material discharge; A loading cover plate 5 is installed above the outer wall of the fermentation tank 3 and is used to open the loading; A distribution mechanism 6, arranged on the inner wall of the fermentation tank 3, for distributing tea leaves; The toggling mechanism 7 is arranged on the inner wall of the fermentation tank 3 and located on both sides of the distribution mechanism 6, and is used to toggle the tea leaves; Wherein, fermentation tank 3 comprises: Two tank bodies 1 31 and one tank body 2 32, the two tank bodies 1 31 are respectively sleeved on the outer wall of the tank body 2 32 and are movably connected; The support 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second tank 32 and is fixedly connected to the base 1; Two electric push rods 35 are connected to the support 34, and their output ends are in contact with the ring 37 connected to the outer wall of the tank body 1 31, so as to push the tank body 1 31 to slide on the tank body 2 32 to expand the internal space of the fermentation tank 3.

[0021] Fermentation tank 3 also includes: A wave-shaped groove 33 is provided on the tank body 31; A plurality of elastic push rods 36 are installed in the second tank body 32 and contact the wave-shaped groove 33, and are used to push the first tank body 31 to drive the first tank body 31 to deflect.

[0022] A spherical groove is formed on the ring 37 , and one side of the output end of the electric push rod 35 is hemispherically arranged and fits in the spherical groove to cooperate with the rotation of the tank body 31 .

[0023] Working principle: When tea leaves are fermented, they need to be stacked. However, after the tea leaves are stored for a long time, the temperature inside will rise. The tea leaves inside need to be spread out to control the temperature inside the tea leaves. At this time, the tea leaves to be fermented are placed into the fermentation tank 3 along the through hole at the loading cover plate 5. When the fermentation is in progress, during the interval time, the electric push rod 35 is started to move to push the two tank bodies 1 31 away from the tank body 2 32 to expand the space inside the fermentation tank body, thereby dispersing the tea leaves to promote the loss of temperature and avoid local temperature rise. At the same time, when the tank body 1 31 moves away from the tank body 2 32, since the multiple elastic push rods 36 keep pushing and contacting the wavy groove 33 on the tank body 1 31, they will push and slide on the wavy groove 33, thereby generating a force to push the tank body 1 31 to rotate, causing the tank body 1 31 to rotate relative to the tank body 2 32, thereby producing a better turning effect and achieving better turning of the tea leaves, thereby avoiding local overheating of the tea leaves and affecting fermentation.

[0024] See also Figure 1-7 Based on the above embodiment, in another embodiment of the present invention, the apportionment mechanism 6 includes: Two distribution plates 61 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 8 and are used to move the tea leaves to spread them; The connecting rod 66 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 8, and a scraper 1 67 is fixedly connected to the side away from the connecting shaft 8 for moving the tea leaves to prevent them from sticking to the inner wall of the second tank body 32.

[0025] The apportionment plate 61 is hollow inside, and an arc-shaped groove is formed on one side of its inner wall; The apportionment mechanism 6 also includes: The air bag 62 is installed inside the distribution plate 61, and a fermentation-promoting enzyme is arranged between the air bags 62; Two support rods 63 are connected to the inner wall of the second tank body 32 and rotate relative to the connecting shaft 8; The elliptical push block 65 is connected to the outer wall of the support rod 63 through an elastic telescopic rod 64 and contacts the airbag 62 to push the airbag 62 to exhaust. The airbag 62 is exhausted through an exhaust valve arranged on one side of the airbag 62. After the airbag 62 is separated from the contact with the elliptical push block 65, air is taken in through the air intake valve on the other side, thereby realizing automatic filling of the internal gas to release the fermentation-promoting enzyme arranged inside.

[0026] Working principle: by intermittently starting the motor installed on the supporting leg 2, the connecting shaft 8 is driven to rotate, and at this time, the distribution plate 61 is driven to rotate. Through the triangular cone shape set by the distribution plate, one side has a small opening and the other side has a large opening, so that after contacting the tea leaves, the tea leaves are pushed to both sides to achieve the movement of the tea leaves, thereby separating the accumulated tea leaves and promoting the temperature dissipation; When the rotation is pushed, the scraper 1 67 can also be driven to rotate through the rotating connecting rod 66 to scrape the inner wall of the second tank body 32, thereby scraping the tea leaves stuck to the inner wall of the second tank body 32 to prevent the tea leaves from adhering to the inner wall of the second tank body 32 and affecting cleaning; At the same time, after the distribution plate 61 rotates and contacts the elliptical push block 65, it will squeeze the air bag 62, thereby producing a squeezing effect on the air bag 62. At this time, the fermentation-promoting enzyme set inside the air bag can be sprayed out to promote the fermentation of tea leaves. At the same time, it will accelerate the air flow, quickly reduce the temperature, and avoid local overheating of the tea leaves.

[0027] See also Figure 1-7 Based on the above embodiment, in another embodiment of the present invention, the toggle mechanism 7 includes: A fixing sleeve 71 connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 8 via a fixing ring; The extension rod 72 is movably connected to the inner wall of the fixing sleeve 71 and is connected to the fixing sleeve 71 through a spring 74 to push the extension rod 72 to move outward; The scraper plate 2 73 is fixedly connected to one end of the extension rod 72 away from the spring 74 to push the scraper plate 2 73 to fit the inner wall of the tank body 1 31 to scrape off the tea leaves attached to the inner wall of the tank body 1 31 .

[0028] The toggle mechanism 7 also includes: A plurality of fixing tubes 75, which are equally divided from the fixing sleeve 71 and circumferentially connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 8 through fixing rings; A toggle plate 78 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixed tube 75 and toggle the tea leaves when rotating; A plurality of telescopic rods 76 are mounted on the inner wall of the fixed tube 75, and the telescopic ends thereof movably penetrate the toggle plate 78 and extend outward; The roller 77 is mounted on the outer wall of the telescopic rod 76 to push the roller 77 outwards and roll to crush the tea leaves in the can body when rotating.

[0029] A tea fermentation processing device according to claim 7 is characterized in that: two fixing rings are provided, and a plurality of elastic rods 710 are fixedly connected to the other fixing ring and are equally distributed on the circumference of the fixing sleeve 71, and the ends of the elastic rods 710 are fixedly connected to connecting balls 711, and one side of the toggle plate 1 78 is hinged with a toggle plate 2 79, and the inner side of the toggle plate 2 79 is connected to the connecting ball 711 to expand the radius of toggling the tea leaves.

[0030] Working principle: when the connecting shaft 8 rotates, it will drive the extension rod 72 pushed by the spring 74 to push the scraper plate 2 73 to the inner wall of the tank body 31 to scrape the tank body 31 and prevent the tea leaves from adhering to the inner wall of the tank body 31. At the same time, the tea leaves can be moved through the set toggle plate 71 to prevent the air from being unable to circulate due to the accumulation of tea leaves. At the same time, during the rotation process, the toggle plate 2 79 will deflect around one side of the toggle plate 1 78 during the rotation, thereby expanding the toggle range of the tea leaves. At the same time, the roller 77 that rolls relative to the tank body can be used to roll the tea leaves during rotation to achieve rolling and kneading of the tea leaves and promote tea fermentation.

[0031] The present invention provides a tea fermentation processing device. There are many methods and ways to implement the technical solution. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
