Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tea processing technology, specifically a novel tea processing and fermentation device. Background Technology

[0002] Tea leaves, commonly known as tea, generally include the leaves and buds of the tea plant. Other names include tea, jia, ming, and chuan. Tea contains catechins, cholesterol, caffeine, inositol, folic acid, and pantothenic acid, which are beneficial to health. Tea beverages are one of the world's three major beverages.

[0003] For example, CN222193984U discloses an anti-clogging tea processing fermentation device, including a shell assembly and a processing barrel. The improved tea fermentation device, through the cooperation of an isolation net, a cleaning brush plate, and a connecting shaft, enables the tea processing fermentation device to clean the broken tea adhering to the surface of the isolation net during use. This solves the problem of uneven tea fermentation caused by broken tea clogging the isolation net, and effectively prevents broken tea from clogging the atomizing nozzle during stirring, thereby improving the steam emission efficiency. By utilizing the cooperation of a sliding seat, a connecting rod, and a U-shaped fixing seat, the tea processing fermentation device can adjust the stirring blades according to the size of the processing barrel during use. This solves the problem that the stirring blades cannot be adjusted according to the size of the processing barrel, resulting in a limited area for stirring the tea inside the processing barrel, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency of the tea and meeting the requirements for anti-clogging tea processing fermentation.

[0004] Stirring tea leaves with a stirring leaf allows for even fermentation, but this method can damage the surface structure of the tea leaves, leading to spoilage and negatively impacting their quality. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a novel tea processing and fermentation device that addresses the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a novel tea processing fermentation device, including a fermentation box, a water tank fixedly connected to the right side of the fermentation box, a water pipe connected to the top of the water tank, the other end of the water pipe being located inside the fermentation box, a humidity monitor fixedly connected to the right side of the fermentation box for monitoring the humidity inside the fermentation box, a flexible turning mechanism provided inside the fermentation box, the flexible turning mechanism including an electric push rod fixedly connected to the right inner wall of the fermentation box, arc-shaped grooves respectively opened on the front and rear inner walls of the fermentation box, a first slider slidably connected inside the two arc-shaped grooves respectively, a vertical plate fixedly connected to the front of the first slider, the vertical plate... A first groove is provided on the right side of the plate, and a second slider is slidably connected inside the first groove. The second slider is hinged to the left end of the electric push rod. A second groove is provided on the front of the vertical plate, and a third slider is slidably connected inside the second groove. A first spring is fixedly connected between the top of the third slider and the inner wall of the second groove. A tea tray is fixedly connected to the front of the third slider. The tea tray is used to hold tea leaves. The electric push rod pushes the second slider to move. When the second slider moves, it will drive the vertical plate to move. The vertical plate drives the first slider to slide inside the arc-shaped groove, thereby causing the tea tray to sway left and right. By sliding the tea tray left and right along the arc-shaped groove, the tea leaves are evenly distributed by swaying, avoiding direct impact on the surface of the tea leaves.

[0007] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fermentation box, and a first abutment rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the tea tray is fixedly connected with six second abutment rods. The first abutment rods contact the second abutment rods. While the tea tray slides left and right along the arc groove, the first abutment rods will contact the second abutment rods. Under the action of the first abutment rods, the second abutment rods will drive the tea tray to shake up and down. When the tea tray shakes up and down, the tea leaves will be turned evenly.

[0009] Preferably, the fermentation box is equipped with a dispersing mechanism, which includes two telescopic connecting rods. The two telescopic connecting rods are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the tea tray, respectively. The bottom of the two telescopic connecting rods is fixedly connected to a base plate. The bottom of the base plate is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped block. The bottom of the arc-shaped block is slidably connected to the bottom inner wall of the fermentation box.

[0010] Preferably, the tea tray has eight longitudinal grooves inside, and eight ejector plates are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. The eight ejector plates move through the longitudinal grooves and extend outward. When the tea tray moves downward, it will drive the longitudinal grooves downward, thereby exposing the ejector plates. This realizes the up-and-down movement of the ejector plates. The up-and-down ejector movement of the ejector plates can further break up the tea leaves and prevent the tea leaves from clumping, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of fermentation.

[0011] Preferably, six air bladders are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. The tops of the six air bladders are in contact with the bottom of the tea tray. Connecting pipes are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of two of the air bladders. One-way valves are provided between the six connecting pipes and the air bladders. The one-way valves can ensure that the airflow can only flow from the air bladders towards the tea pile, preventing the gas from flowing back into the air bladders. When the tea tray moves downward, it will squeeze the air bladders. When the air bladders are squeezed, the internal gas is guided into the tea pile through the connecting pipes, forming a directional airflow. This airflow can effectively disperse the tea leaves, prevent the tea leaves from clumping due to long-term accumulation, and ensure that the tea leaves remain loose during the fermentation process, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of fermentation.

[0012] Preferably, the top plate is provided with an odor adsorption mechanism, which includes a placement groove inside the top plate. The placement groove is used to place activated carbon particles to adsorb the odor of the tea. Several holes are provided on the left and right sides of the top plate to facilitate air circulation, thereby facilitating the adsorption of odors on the tea.

[0013] Preferably, a fourth slider is slidably connected inside the ejector plate. Telescopic baffles are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the fourth slider. These baffles ensure that the activated carbon particles are always covered regardless of the slider's vertical movement. A flipping rod is fixedly connected to the back of the fourth slider, a second spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fourth slider, and an abutment plate is fixedly connected to the front of the fourth slider. The abutment plate contacts the tea tray. When the tea tray moves downwards, it abuts against the abutment plate. This contact causes the fourth slider to move the flipping rod downwards. When the tea tray disengages from the abutment plate, the fourth slider resets under the rebound of the second spring, causing the flipping rod to move upwards. This reciprocating motion of the flipping rod agitates the activated carbon, continuously renewing its surface, preventing saturation, and further enhancing the adsorption effect.

[0014] The present invention, by adopting the above technical solution, can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This novel tea processing and fermentation device uses a tea tray that slides left and right along an arc-shaped groove to distribute the tea leaves evenly by shaking, avoiding direct impact on the tea surface. Furthermore, the contact between the first and second contact rods generates slight vibrations that cause the tea leaves to fall back down, resulting in even agitation. This flexible stirring method completely avoids the direct impact of the stirring blades on the tea leaves in existing technologies, significantly reducing the possibility of damage to the surface structure of the tea leaves, thereby effectively protecting the integrity of the tea leaves and improving their quality.

[0016] 2. This novel tea processing and fermentation device further disperses the tea pile through the up-and-down ejection action of the top plate via a dispersing mechanism, preventing the tea from clumping and thus improving the uniformity and efficiency of fermentation. When the air bladder is compressed, the internal gas is guided into the tea pile through the connecting pipe, forming a directional airflow. This airflow can effectively disperse the tea leaves, preventing them from clumping due to prolonged accumulation and ensuring that the tea leaves remain loose throughout the fermentation process, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of fermentation.

[0017] 3. This novel tea processing and fermentation device uses activated carbon placed in a groove inside the top plate. Activated carbon's porous structure and large surface area adsorb odor molecules generated during tea fermentation. The micropores, mesopores, and macropores of the activated carbon can adsorb odor molecules of different sizes, effectively removing odors and improving the aroma and quality of the tea.

[0018] 4. This novel tea processing and fermentation device uses a rotating rod to agitate the activated carbon, continuously renewing its surface and preventing saturation, thus further enhancing adsorption efficiency. This agitation method also promotes air circulation, allowing more odor molecules to come into contact with the activated carbon, thereby improving adsorption efficiency and enhancing tea quality.

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-7One embodiment of the present invention is: a novel tea processing fermentation device, comprising a fermentation box 1, a water tank 2 fixedly connected to the right side of the fermentation box 1, a water pipe 3 connected to the top of the water tank 2, the other end of the water pipe 3 being disposed inside the fermentation box 1, a humidity monitor 4 fixedly connected to the right side of the fermentation box 1 for monitoring the humidity inside the fermentation box 1, and a flexible turning mechanism 5 disposed inside the fermentation box 1, the flexible turning mechanism 5 including an electric push rod 511, the electric push rod 511 being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the right side of the fermentation box 1, and the fermentation... Arc-shaped grooves 512 are respectively formed on the front and rear inner walls of box 1. First sliders 513 are slidably connected inside the two arc-shaped grooves 512. A vertical plate 514 is fixedly connected to the front of the first slider 513. A first sliding groove is formed on the right side of the vertical plate 514. A second slider 515 is slidably connected inside the first sliding groove. The second slider 515 is hinged to the left end of the electric push rod 511. A second sliding groove is formed on the front of the vertical plate 514. A third slider 516 is slidably connected inside the second sliding groove. The top of the third slider 516 is fixed to the inner wall of the second sliding groove. A tea tray 518 is fixedly connected to the front of a third slider 516 connected to a first spring 517. The tea tray 518 is used to hold tea leaves. An electric push rod 511 pushes a second slider 515 to move. When the second slider 515 moves, it drives a vertical plate 514 to move. The vertical plate 514 drives the first slider 513 to slide inside the arc-shaped groove 512, thereby causing the tea tray 518 to sway left and right. By sliding the tea tray 518 left and right along the arc-shaped groove 512, the swaying motion evenly distributes the tea leaves, avoiding direct impact on the surface of the tea leaves. A fixing plate 520 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the stack box 1. A first abutment rod 521 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 520. Six second abutment rods 522 are fixedly connected to the top of the tea tray 518. The first abutment rod 521 contacts the second abutment rod 522. While the tea tray 518 slides left and right along the arc groove 512, the first abutment rod 521 will contact the second abutment rod 522. Under the action of the first abutment rod 521, the second abutment rod 522 will drive the tea tray 518 to shake up and down. When the tea tray 518 shakes up and down, the tea leaves are turned evenly.

[0029] Working principle: Tea leaves are placed inside the fermentation box 1, and a certain amount of water is added through the water pipe 3 to promote fermentation. During the fermentation process, the electric push rod 511 is activated, which pushes the second slider 515 to move. When the second slider 515 moves, it drives the vertical plate 514 to move. The vertical plate 514 drives the first slider 513 to slide inside the arc-shaped groove 512, thereby causing the tea tray 518 to sway left and right. By sliding the tea tray 518 along the arc-shaped groove 512, the tea leaves are evenly distributed through this swaying motion. To avoid direct impact on the tea leaf surface, as the tea tray 518 slides left and right along the arc groove 512, the first contact rod 521 contacts the second contact rod 522. Under the action of the first contact rod 521, the second contact rod 522 drives the tea tray 518 to shake up and down. When the tea tray 518 shakes up and down, the tea leaves are evenly turned over. This gentle stirring method completely avoids the direct impact of the stirring leaves on the tea leaves in the existing technology, significantly reduces the possibility of damage to the surface structure of the tea leaves, and thus effectively protects the integrity of the tea leaves and improves the quality of the tea leaves.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-7 Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, a dispersing mechanism 6 is provided inside the fermentation box 1. The dispersing mechanism 6 includes two telescopic connecting rods 611, which are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the tea tray 518. A base plate 612 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two telescopic connecting rods 611. An arc-shaped block 613 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 612. The bottom of the arc-shaped block 613 is slidably connected to the bottom inner wall of the fermentation box 1. Eight longitudinal grooves 614 are opened inside the tea tray 518. Eight ejector plates 615 are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 612. The eight ejector plates 615 move through the longitudinal grooves 614 and extend outward. When the tea tray 518 moves downward, it will drive the longitudinal grooves 614 to move downward, thereby exposing the ejector plates 615, thus realizing the up-and-down movement of the ejector plates 615. The movement further disperses the tea leaves, preventing clumping and improving the uniformity and efficiency of fermentation. Six air bladders 616 are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 612. The tops of the six air bladders 616 contact the bottom of the tea tray 518. Connecting pipes 617 are installed on the front and rear sides of two air bladders 616 respectively. One-way valves are installed between the six connecting pipes 617 and the air bladders 616. The one-way valves ensure that airflow can only flow from the air bladders 616 towards the tea pile, preventing gas from flowing back into the air bladders 616. As the tea tray 518 moves downwards, it compresses the air bladders 616. When compressed, the internal gas in the air bladders 616 is guided into the tea pile through the connecting pipes 617, forming a directional airflow. This airflow effectively disperses the tea leaves, preventing clumping due to prolonged accumulation and ensuring that the tea leaves remain loose throughout the fermentation process, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of fermentation.

[0031] Working principle: When the tea tray 518 moves downward, it drives the longitudinal groove 614 downward, thereby exposing the ejector plate 615. This allows the ejector plate 615 to move up and down, further breaking up the tea pile and preventing clumping, thus improving the uniformity and efficiency of fermentation. Simultaneously, the downward movement of the tea tray 518 compresses the air bladder 616. When compressed, the internal gas in the air bladder 616 is guided into the tea pile through the connecting pipe 617, forming a directional airflow. This airflow effectively disperses the tea leaves, preventing clumping due to prolonged accumulation and ensuring the tea remains loose throughout the fermentation process, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of fermentation.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-7 Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, an odor adsorption mechanism 7 is provided inside the top plate 615. The odor adsorption mechanism 7 includes a placement groove 711, which is opened inside the top plate 615. The placement groove 711 is used to place activated carbon particles to adsorb the odor of tea. Several holes 712 are opened on the left and right sides of the top plate 615 to facilitate air circulation, thereby facilitating the adsorption of odors on the tea. A fourth slider 713 is slidably connected inside the top plate 615. Telescopic baffles 714 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the fourth slider 713. The telescopic baffles 714 are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the fourth slider 713. No matter how the fourth slider 713 moves up and down, the activated carbon particles will be blocked by the telescopic baffles 714 and will not be exposed. The back of the fourth slider 713 is fixedly connected to a flipping rod 715, the bottom of the fourth slider 713 is fixedly connected to a second spring 716, and the front of the fourth slider 713 is fixedly connected to a contact plate 717. The contact plate 717 contacts the tea tray 518. When the tea tray 518 moves downward, it will contact the contact plate 717. When the contact plate 717 is contacted, it will drive the flipping rod 715 to move downward through the fourth slider 713. When the tea tray 518 is disengaged from the contact plate 717, the fourth slider 713 will reset under the rebound action of the second spring 716, thereby driving the flipping rod 715 to move upward. This reciprocating motion of the flipping rod 715 turns the activated carbon up and down, constantly renewing the surface of the activated carbon, preventing adsorption saturation, and further improving the adsorption effect.

[0033] Working principle: Activated carbon is placed in the placement groove 711 inside the ejector plate 615. Its porous structure and large surface area adsorb odor molecules generated during tea fermentation. The micropores, mesopores, and macropores of the activated carbon can adsorb odor molecules of different sizes, effectively removing odors and improving the aroma quality of the tea. When the tea tray 518 moves downwards, it contacts the contact plate 717. When the contact plate 717 is contacted, it drives the flipping rod 715 downwards via the fourth slider 713. When the tea tray 518 disengages from the contact plate 717, the fourth slider 713 resets under the rebound of the second spring 716, thus driving the flipping rod 715 upwards. This reciprocating motion of the flipping rod 715 up and down continuously refreshes the surface of the activated carbon, preventing adsorption saturation and further improving the adsorption effect. This turning method also promotes air circulation, allowing more odor molecules to come into contact with the activated carbon, thereby improving adsorption efficiency and enhancing the quality of the tea.

[0034] This invention provides a novel tea processing and fermentation apparatus. Many methods and approaches exist for implementing this technical solution; the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this invention. All components not explicitly stated in this embodiment can be implemented using existing technologies.
