Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tea preservation, and in particular to a low-temperature tea preservation storage system. Background Art

[0002] During storage, tea is easily affected by factors such as temperature, humidity, oxygen, and microorganisms, which can lead to aroma volatilization, color deterioration, and loss of nutrients. Traditional storage methods have the following drawbacks:

[0003] Ordinary cold storage: only controls the low temperature (usually 2-5°C), but ignores the control of humidity and gas composition. High humidity can easily cause mildew, and oxygen can cause oxidation.

[0004] Household refrigerators: Large temperature fluctuations, high risk of odor transfer, and inability to scale storage;

[0005] Controlled atmosphere storage: Existing technologies are mostly designed for fruits and vegetables. The oxygen concentration (usually 3% to 5%) and humidity range (80% to 90%) are not suitable for tea, which can easily cause moisture absorption and deterioration.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dedicated tea preservation and storage system that integrates low temperature, precise humidity control, low oxygen conditioning and intelligent monitoring to extend the shelf life of tea and maintain its quality. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problem in the prior art that tea storage is easily affected by factors such as temperature, humidity, oxygen and microorganisms, and to provide a special tea preservation storage system with low temperature, precise humidity control, low oxygen conditioning and intelligent monitoring.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0009] The present invention provides a low-temperature tea fresh-keeping storage system, comprising:

[0010] Warehouse module, including insulation walls, sealed doors and internal shelf structure;

[0011] The refrigeration module, including the compressor, evaporator and condenser, is used to maintain the temperature in the warehouse at 0-8°C;

[0012] Humidity control module, including humidifier, dehumidifier and humidity sensor, is used to maintain the relative humidity in the warehouse at 45% to 65%;

[0013] Gas control module, including nitrogen generator, carbon dioxide removal device and gas concentration sensor, used to maintain oxygen concentration ≤ 3% and carbon dioxide concentration ≤ 0.5%;

[0014] The central control module is connected to various sensors and actuators to automatically adjust temperature, humidity and gas composition based on preset parameters.

[0015] Preferably, the refrigeration module adopts a variable frequency compressor and is equipped with a multi-temperature zone independent control unit, allowing differentiated temperatures to be set for different shelf partitions.

[0016] Preferably, the gas control module further comprises an ethylene adsorption device for adsorbing ethylene gas released by tea leaves.

[0017] Preferably, the shelf structure is a movable three-dimensional shelf equipped with RFID tags and an in-warehouse positioning system.

[0018] Preferably, the central control module supports remote monitoring and early warning functions, and transmits temperature, humidity and gas data to the user terminal in real time through the Internet of Things platform.

[0019] Beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. Delaying quality deterioration: Through the triple synergy of low temperature + precise humidity control + ultra-low oxygen regulation, the activity of tea oxidase and microbial reproduction are significantly inhibited:

[0021] The chlorophyll retention rate is improved to maintain the emerald green color of the tea leaves; the oxidation rate of tea polyphenols is reduced to prevent the tea soup from browning; the loss rate of volatile aroma components is low, retaining characteristic flavors such as orchid and chestnut fragrance.

[0022] 2. Targeted adsorption of ethylene: Built-in activated carbon-molecular sieve composite filter element can efficiently adsorb ethylene gas released by tea leaves, block the ripening effect of ethylene, and extend the shelf life.

[0023] 3. Through the innovative design of "low oxygen constant humidity precise temperature control + intelligent early warning", this invention completely solves the four major pain points in traditional tea storage: oxidation and deterioration, flavor transfer and moisture absorption, high energy consumption, and difficult quality control. It extends the shelf life of high-quality tea, directly improves the economic benefits of the industry, and promotes the high-end development of Chinese tea brands. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
