Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mugwort processing equipment, and in particular to mugwort tea production equipment. Background Art

[0002] Mugwort tea, also known as mugwort tea, is a Chinese herbal tea made from mugwort as the main raw material. Mugwort has high medicinal value in traditional Chinese medicine and is widely used to treat various diseases. Mugwort tea has many functions and effects, including warming the meridians and stopping bleeding, antibacterial and antiviral, calming the nerves, protecting the liver and promoting bile secretion, warming the meridians and dispelling cold, etc.

[0003] The production steps of mugwort tea usually include key links such as raw material preparation, processing, quality control and packaging. Raw material preparation includes picking and washing: in the season when mugwort grows vigorously, choose mugwort without pests and diseases, with complete leaves and bright green color for picking; carefully wash the picked mugwort to remove the dirt, impurities and pesticide residues on the surface. Drain the water after washing to avoid bringing it into the subsequent processing. Processing includes enzyme killing, withering, rolling, drying and screening. The enzyme killing is to place the mugwort in a basket, let the basket enter the enzyme killing chamber, and pass 90-100℃ hot water to scald for 30-60 seconds; cool, the basket enters the cooling chamber, and passes 2-5℃ cold water to cool for 3-5 minutes. Killing green, by steaming at high temperature, kill the chlorophyll in the wormwood leaves to keep the tea soup fresh green, aroma enhancement, after the steamed wormwood leaves cool naturally, roll them to release the aroma of the leaves, stir-fry, put the wormwood leaves in an iron pan, stir-fry over low heat to remove moisture, and make wormwood tea. After stir-frying, the wormwood tea should be cooled and sealed for storage.

[0004] In the prior art, enzymes are killed mainly by heat treatment and cold treatment in hot and cold water pools. The intermediate transportation process makes it impossible to quickly cool the treated wormwood with cold water. The interval between heat treatment and cold treatment is too long, resulting in the gradual loss of nutrients during the long waiting time for cold treatment. After heat treatment, the enzymes in the wormwood may be partially or completely inactivated. However, if the heat-treated wormwood is exposed to room temperature for a long time, some enzymes may regain activity, which may affect the subsequent processing effect and the quality of the wormwood. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention is intended to provide a mugwort tea production device, to provide a device for quickly performing heat treatment and cold treatment on mugwort, so as to avoid the interval time between the heat treatment and the cold treatment being too long.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A mugwort tea production device comprises a frame and a material box with an open top, the material box is evenly distributed with a plurality of water leakage holes, the frame is provided with a hot water pool, a cold air pipe and a cylinder, the cylinder comprises a piston rod, the interior of the piston rod is hollow and distributed with a plurality of blowing holes, a hose is fixedly connected between the cold air pipe and the piston rod, one end of the piston rod away from the cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the material basket, the frame is also fixedly provided with a sealing cover which surrounds the material box and closes the water leakage holes, and the sealing cover is located directly above the hot water pool.

[0008] Working principle and beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0009] In this scheme, the wormwood to be enzyme-killed is loaded into a material box, and cold air is introduced into the cold air pipe. The cold air enters the interior of the piston rod through a hose and is blown out toward the material box through multiple blowing holes. The piston rod is driven by a cylinder to move toward the hot water pool, and the piston rod drives the material box to enter the hot water pool. The hot water in the hot water pool is poured into the material box through multiple leakage holes. After the wormwood is heat-treated for 30 to 60 seconds, the cylinder drives the piston rod to move upward to drive the material box to rise upward, and the material box enters the sealing cover.

[0010] The cylinder controls the degree of entry of the material box into the sealing cover. Initially, part of the top of the material box enters the sealing cover, and the bottom of the material box is outside the sealing cover. After the cold air passes through the wormwood, the hot air is quickly discharged through multiple water leakage holes, thereby quickly cooling the wormwood. Then the cylinder drives the material box to completely enter the sealing cover, and the sealing cover completely seals all the multiple water leakage holes, so that the cold air will not escape to the material box. A large amount of cold air accumulates in the material box to further cool all the wormwood, thereby improving the cooling effect. After the cold treatment is completed, the cylinder drives the material box to leave the sealing cover, and the processed wormwood is taken out for the next step of processing.

[0011] This solution performs rapid heat treatment and cold treatment on wormwood. Compared with the existing technology, the interval between heat treatment and cold treatment is short, thereby improving the enzyme-killing effect of wormwood.

[0012] Optimally, the plurality of blowing holes are close to the material box. Since the plurality of blowing holes are concentrated close to the material box, the cold air passes through the plurality of blowing holes and blows toward the wormwood to be cooled, thereby improving the cooling effect on the wormwood.

[0013] Optimally, the cold air duct is fixedly provided with a fan, and the cold air duct is provided with a semiconductor refrigeration sheet. The semiconductor refrigeration sheet is used for rapid cooling, and the fan blows the cooled air toward the mugwort.

[0014] Optimized, the material box is symmetrically provided with a flip opening, the flip opening is rotatably connected with a flip plate, the flip plates on both sides are close together and extend to the bottom of the material box, the sealing cover is provided with a push block, and one end of the flip plate away from the material box abuts against the bottom of the push block. Before the heat treatment of the wormwood, the flip plates on both sides are close to each other and extend to the bottom of the material box, the wormwood is placed on the flip plate, the material box is placed in the hot water pool, and the hot water leaks into the material box through the leaking hole. After the heat treatment is completed, the material box is raised upward, and when the flip plate passes the push block, the push block pushes the flip plate upward to rotate, and the flip plates on both sides drive the wormwood to flip upward, on the one hand, the wormwood is separated from the bottom of the material box, so that the wormwood is suspended, and the hot water attached to the wormwood flows downward into the material box. On the other hand, the wormwood is flipped during the flipping of the flip plate, so that gaps are formed between the wormwood. The above measures dehydrate the wormwood on the one hand, and on the other hand, cold wind is blown into the inside of the wormwood through the gap, so that the wormwood is quickly cooled and the enzyme killing effect is improved.

[0015] Optimally, the number of flip openings on each side of the material box is 2, and the length of the top flip plate extending out of the flip opening is less than the length of the bottom flip plate extending out of the flip opening; the length of the bottom push block of the sealing cover on the same side is greater than the length of the top push block. When the material box rises upward, the top flip plate on the same side passes through the bottom push block, and then the top flip plate contacts the top push block, and the bottom flip plate contacts the bottom push block, and then the two flip plates on the same side are pushed to flip, so that the wormwood in the material box is flipped twice at different heights, so that the wormwood dehydration effect is better, and at the same time, the gaps between the wormwood are enlarged and enlarged, and cold wind blows into the inside of the wormwood through the gaps, so that the wormwood is quickly cooled down and the enzyme killing effect is improved.

[0016] Optimally, a discharge door is provided at the bottom of the material box, and the wormwood after enzyme killing is discharged through the discharge door. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:

[0023] The reference numerals in the drawings of the specification include: a frame 1, a refrigerator 2, a cylinder 3, a sealing cover 4, a material box 5, a blowing hole 6, a piston rod 7, a push block 8, and a flip plate 9.

[0024] In the following statements, directional words such as "left", "right", "up", and "down" are all based on the directions shown in the diagram. In practice, if the corresponding structures are changed in the same direction based on the directions while keeping the relative positions unchanged, it will not affect the implementation of the plan.

[0025] Embodiment 1: a kind of mugwort tea production equipment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a frame 1 and a material box 5 with an open top, the material box 5 is evenly distributed with a plurality of water leakage holes, the frame 1 is provided with a fixed hot water pool, a refrigerator 2, a cold air pipe and a cylinder 3, the cold air pipe is connected to the output end of the refrigerator 2, the cylinder 3 includes a piston rod 7, the piston rod 7 is hollow inside and has a plurality of blowing holes distributed thereon, a hose is fixedly connected between the cold air pipe and the piston rod 7, the bottom of the piston rod 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the material basket, the frame 1 is also fixedly provided with a sealing cover 4 which surrounds the material box 5 and closes the water leakage holes, and the sealing cover 4 is located directly above the hot water pool.

[0026] In this scheme, the wormwood to be enzyme-killed is loaded into the material box 5, and cold air is introduced into the cold air pipe. The cold air enters the interior of the piston rod 7 through the hose, and is blown out toward the material box 5 through multiple blowing holes. The cylinder 3 drives the piston rod 7 to move toward the hot water pool, and the piston rod 7 drives the material box 5 to enter the hot water pool. The hot water in the hot water pool is poured into the material box 5 through multiple leakage holes. After the wormwood is heat-treated for 30 to 60 seconds, the cylinder 3 drives the piston rod 7 to move upward to drive the material box 5 to rise upward, and the material box 5 enters the sealing cover 4.

[0027] The cylinder 3 controls the degree of entry of the material box 5 into the sealing cover 4. Initially, a part of the top of the material box 5 enters the sealing cover 4, and the bottom of the material box 5 is located outside the sealing cover 4. After the cold air passes through the wormwood, the hot air is quickly discharged through multiple water leakage holes, thereby quickly cooling the wormwood. Then the cylinder 3 drives the material box 5 to completely enter the sealing cover 4, and the sealing cover 4 completely seals all the multiple water leakage holes, so that the cold air will not escape to the material box 5. A large amount of cold air accumulates in the material box 5 to further cool all the wormwood, thereby improving the cooling effect. After the cold treatment is completed, the cylinder 3 drives the material box 5 to leave the sealing cover 4, and the treated wormwood is taken out for the next step of processing.

[0028] This solution performs rapid heat treatment and cold treatment on wormwood. Compared with the existing technology, the interval between heat treatment and cold treatment is short, thereby improving the enzyme-killing effect of wormwood.

[0029] Example 2: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the material box 5 is symmetrically provided with a flip opening, which is rotatably connected to a flip plate 9. The flip plates 9 on both sides move downward and extend to the bottom of the material box 5. The sealing cover 4 is fixed with a push block 8, and the end of the flip plate 9 away from the material box 5 abuts against the bottom of the push block 8.

[0030] Before the heat treatment of the wormwood, the flip plates 9 on both sides are close to each other and extend to the bottom of the material box 5. The wormwood is placed on the flip plates 9, and the material box 5 is placed in the hot water pool. The hot water leaks into the material box 5 through the leakage hole. After the heat treatment is completed, the material box 5 is lifted up. When the flip plates 9 pass through the pushing block 8, the pushing block 8 pushes the flip plates 9 upward to rotate. The flip plates 9 on both sides drive the wormwood to flip upward. On the one hand, the wormwood is separated from the bottom of the material box 5, so that the wormwood is suspended in the air, and the hot water attached to the wormwood flows downward into the material box 5. On the other hand, the wormwood is flipped during the flipping process of the flip plates 9, so that gaps are formed between the wormwood. The above measures dehydrate the wormwood on the one hand, and on the other hand, cold air is blown into the inside of the wormwood through the gap, so that the wormwood is quickly cooled down and the enzyme killing effect is improved.

[0031] Example 3: Figure 5 As shown, there are two flip openings on each side of the material box 5, and the length of the top flip plate 9 extending out of the flip opening is less than the length of the bottom flip plate 9 extending out of the flip opening; the length of the bottom push block 8 of the sealing cover 4 on the same side is greater than the length of the top push block 8. When the material box 5 rises upward, the flip plate 9 at the top of the same side passes through the bottom push block 8, and then the top flip plate 9 contacts the top push block 8, and the bottom flip plate 9 contacts the bottom push block 8, and then pushes the two flip plates 9 on the same side to flip, so that the wormwood in the material box 5 is flipped twice at different heights, so that the wormwood dehydration effect is better, and at the same time, the gaps between the wormwood are enlarged and enlarged, and the cold wind blows into the inside of the wormwood through the gaps, so that the wormwood is quickly cooled down and the enzyme killing effect is improved.
