Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a tea paste brewing process and its processing equipment, belonging to the field of tea paste processing technology. Background Technology

[0002] Tea paste utilizes the property that aromatic substances and active ingredients must volatilize and precipitate at a certain temperature to effectively dissolve these original substances of tea leaves into the tea soup and then astringe them into a paste.

[0003] In the traditional preparation of tea paste, the selected tea and tea dust need to be soaked in water manually. The soaked tea soup is then boiled to form tea paste. After extraction, the tea residue needs to be removed from the boiling pot and drained. Manually removing the tea residue from the boiling pot is laborious and it is easy to not remove it completely, which affects the quality of the tea paste. This makes the equipment for making tea paste less practical.

[0004] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a tea paste boiling process and processing equipment, which solves the problem that in the prior art, after extraction, the tea dregs need to be removed from the boiling pot and drained. Manually removing the tea dregs from the boiling pot is laborious and easily results in incomplete removal, affecting the quality of the tea paste, thus making the tea paste boiling equipment less practical.

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is achieved by the following technical solution: a tea paste brewing device, including a mounting base, a lifting component on the mounting base, a sealing cover fixedly installed on the lifting component, a cooking pot on the mounting base, a fine mesh cover inside the cooking pot, a coarse mesh cover inside the fine mesh cover, a feed inlet 1 fixedly connected to the outside of the coarse mesh cover, a feed inlet 2 fixedly connected to the outside of the fine mesh cover and communicating with its interior, a cover on both feed inlet 1 and feed inlet 2, and multiple rubber balls inside the coarse mesh cover; The sealing cover is equipped with a drive assembly, which is equipped with an agitation mechanism. The fine mesh cover is installed on the agitation mechanism. The drive assembly can drive the agitation mechanism to rotate, and the agitation mechanism can drive the fine mesh cover to rotate. The mounting base is equipped with a tilting component, which can drive the cooking pot to rotate.

[0007] The invention is further configured such that: the tilting assembly includes two vertical frames, which are fixedly mounted on the mounting base, and each of the two vertical frames is rotatably connected to a horizontal shaft, which is fixedly connected to the cooking pot; a first motor is fixedly mounted on any of the vertical frames, and the output end of the first motor is poweredly connected to any of the horizontal shafts.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the first motor is started, which drives the horizontal shaft to rotate. The horizontal shaft synchronously drives the boiling pot to rotate. In the initial state, the boiling pot is vertical with the opening facing upward. After the tea paste is boiled, the first motor needs to be started to drive the boiling pot to rotate. During this process, the boiling pot is tilted. During the tilting process, the tea paste in the boiling pot is poured out. Pouring the tea paste is convenient and easy to remove, which is efficient and labor-saving.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the drive assembly includes a second motor, the second motor is fixedly mounted on the sealing cover, the output end of the second motor is poweredly connected to a rotating shaft, the end of the rotating shaft away from the second motor is fixedly connected to a fixing plate, and the side of the fixing plate away from the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to an insert block.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the drive assembly also includes a horizontal block, a slot is provided on the side of the horizontal block near the second motor, a plug can be inserted into the slot, a fixing bolt is threaded on the horizontal block, and a fixing hole is provided on the outer side of the plug.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, starting the second motor can drive the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the horizontal block to rotate, thereby causing the vertical block and the fine mesh cover to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft. During disassembly, the fixing bolts need to be rotated to disengage them from the fixing holes. Pushing the horizontal block downwards at this point will disengage it from the insert block, completing the disassembly of the stirring mechanism or scraper. Disassembly is convenient and flexible, facilitating the replacement of the rotating gears, vertical block, fine mesh cover, etc., thus improving the practicality of the tea paste brewing equipment.

[0012] The invention is further configured such that: the stirring mechanism includes two vertical blocks, the vertical blocks are fixedly mounted on the horizontal block, a fixed shaft is rotatably connected to the vertical blocks, a rotating gear is fixedly connected to one end of the vertical blocks, the end of the vertical blocks away from the rotating gear passes through a fine mesh cover and is fixedly connected to a coarse mesh cover, a plurality of protrusions are fixedly connected inside the coarse mesh cover, a plurality of mounting rods are provided on the sealing cover, a fixed block is fixedly connected to the end of the mounting rod away from the sealing cover, an end face gear is fixedly connected to the fixed block, and two rotating gears mesh with the end face gear.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the second motor is started to rotate at a low speed. The second motor drives the rotating shaft and the horizontal block to rotate. The horizontal block drives the vertical block to rotate synchronously. The vertical block drives the fixed shaft to rotate synchronously. The fixed shaft drives the coarse mesh cover, the fine mesh cover, and the rotating gear to rotate synchronously. When the fine mesh cover, the vertical block, the fixed shaft, and the rotating gear rotate around the axis of the end gear, they can stir the tea in the brewing pot. During the stirring process, the tea leaves tumble inside the coarse mesh cover. On the one hand, the stirring can accelerate molecular diffusion and improve the uniformity of extraction. On the other hand, it can make the tea leaves heat evenly and improve the extraction efficiency, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of tea soup extraction. The rotating gear meshes with the end gear as it rotates around the end face gear, causing the rotating gear to rotate around the fixed shaft. Simultaneously, the rotation of the fixed shaft drives the fine and coarse mesh screens to rotate. As the fine and coarse mesh screens rotate around the axis of the fixed shaft, they cause the tea leaves and rubber balls inside the coarse mesh screen to rotate and tumble. The rubber balls tumbling within the coarse mesh screen cause the tea leaves to swirl. This dual agitation, where the fine and coarse mesh screens rotate simultaneously around the axis of the end face gear and the axis of the fixed shaft, accelerates the release of tea flavor, resulting in more thorough extraction. It also improves the convection between the tea water outside the fine mesh screen and inside the coarse mesh screen, making the tea soup more uniform, accelerating the release of effective components from the tea leaves, improving the extraction effect and quality, and preventing stratification during steeping. This makes tea extraction and steeping more efficient and of higher quality, further improving the quality and efficiency of tea paste preparation.

[0014] When the tea has finished steeping, the cylinder is activated, causing the sealing cap to move upwards. As the sealing cap moves, it also moves the fine and coarse mesh screens out of the boiling pot. During this process, the steeped tea leaves are removed from the boiling pot for draining. The fine and coarse mesh screens prevent the tea leaves from being scooped out. The double filtration makes the tea residue removal more thorough, saves manpower, shortens processing time, and is safe and reliable during the scooping process, thereby improving the efficiency of tea paste production.

[0015] The invention is further configured such that: the stirring mechanism also includes an inner ring groove, which is formed inside the sealing cover; a sliding ring is slidably connected inside the inner ring groove; multiple limiting grooves are formed on the outer side of the sliding ring; a rotating groove is formed through the sliding ring; a positioning ring rod is fixedly connected to the sliding ring; the positioning ring rod passes through the rotating groove; multiple sliding blocks are fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner ring groove; the sliding blocks are inserted into the rotating groove; multiple connecting grooves are formed on the top wall of the sealing cover; and the end of the mounting rod away from the fixed block can be inserted into the connecting groove.

[0016] The invention is further configured such that: the stirring mechanism also includes a limiting spring, the positioning ring rod slides through the sliding block, one end of the limiting spring is fixedly connected to the sliding block, the other end of the limiting spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove, and a slot is provided on the side of the mounting rod near the sliding ring, so that the sliding ring can be inserted into the slot.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that: the stirring mechanism also includes a fixed ring, a ring groove is provided on the side of the sealing cover away from the cooking pot, and a plurality of support columns are fixedly connected on the side of the sliding ring away from the end face gear, the support columns are inserted into the ring groove, and the end of the support column away from the sliding ring is fixedly connected to the fixed ring.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, in the initial state, the limiting groove and the connecting groove are misaligned. When fixing the mounting rod to the sealing cover, the fixing ring needs to be pushed first. The fixing ring synchronously drives the support column to rotate, and the support column synchronously drives the sliding ring to rotate. Because the sliding block is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner ring groove, the limiting spring is squeezed and deformed during the rotation of the sliding ring. When the sliding ring rotates to the point where the limiting groove and the connecting groove are aligned, the end of the mounting rod away from the fixing block is inserted into the connecting groove. During this process, the mounting rod passes through the limiting groove, so that the upper surface of the mounting rod abuts against the top wall of the connecting groove. Then, the push on the fixing ring is released, and the sliding ring is reset under the release force of the limiting spring. During this process, the outer side of the sliding ring is inserted into the slot, thereby causing the limiting groove and the connecting groove to be misaligned. The outer side of the sliding ring passing through the slot can fix the mounting rod, so that the mounting rod cannot move up and down, thus preventing the mounting rod from being pulled out of the connecting groove, thereby completing the fixing of the mounting rod, which in turn fixes the end gear, fixing the end gear to the sealing cover. Similarly, during disassembly, rotating the retaining ring aligns the limiting groove with the connecting groove, then pushing the end face gear downwards disengages the mounting rod from the connecting groove, thus completing the disassembly of the end face gear. Disassembly is simple and convenient, thereby improving the practicality of tea paste preparation and facilitating the replacement and maintenance of the end face gear.

[0019] The invention is further configured such that: a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the horizontal block, a scraper is provided on the sliding rod, a sliding cylinder is fixedly connected to the scraper, the sliding rod is inserted into the sliding cylinder, and the sliding rod and the sliding cylinder are detachably fixedly connected.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, after draining the soaked tea leaves, the fixing bolt is rotated to slide out of the fixing hole, completing the disassembly of the fine mesh cover, vertical blocks, horizontal blocks, etc. Then, the fixing ring is rotated to align the limiting groove with the connecting groove, and the end face gear is pushed down to disengage the mounting rod from the connecting groove, completing the disassembly of the end face gear. Finally, the insert block is inserted into the horizontal block of the fixing scraper, and the fixing bolt is tightened to insert the fixing bolt into the fixing hole, thereby fixing the scraper to the drive assembly. At this time, the cylinder is started to drive the scraper to move downward until the scraper is in contact with the inner wall of the brewing pot. Then, the second motor is started to drive the scraper and sliding rod to stir the tea soup. At this time, the brewing pot is started to heat and boil the tea soup, gradually reducing the water until the tea soup is boiled into a paste. During the rotation of the scraper, not only can the tea soup be stirred, but the tea paste can also be prevented from sticking to the bottom of the pot and causing the pot to burn. There is no need for repeated manual stirring, which saves more manpower and improves the practicality of the tea paste brewing process.

[0021] A tea paste brewing equipment has a brewing process, which includes: S1: Pour the tea leaves into the coarse mesh cover through the feed inlet, tighten the lid on the feed inlet, and pour an appropriate amount of water into the boiling pot. S2: Heat the water in the pot to a boil, then activate the lifting mechanism to submerge the fine mesh cover in the water, allowing the tea leaves to be soaked or boiled. S3: Start the driver component to stir the tea in the brewing pot; S4: After steeping or boiling the tea leaves, the pot contains tea soup. When the tea soup has finished steeping, the lifting component is activated to move the sealing cover upwards, moving the steeped tea leaves out of the pot for draining. S5: Disassemble the stirring mechanism; S6: Install scraper; S7: Continuously boil the tea soup, start the lifting component to move the scraper downward until the scraper is in contact with the inner wall of the pot, start the drive component to stir the tea soup with the scraper until the tea soup is boiled into a paste. S8: Activate the pouring assembly to pour the tea paste.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: when the tea soup has finished steeping, the cylinder is activated to move the sealing cover upwards. During the movement of the sealing cover, the fine mesh and coarse mesh are moved out of the boiling pot. In this process, the steeped tea leaves are moved out of the boiling pot for water draining. The fine mesh and coarse mesh can avoid the need to scoop out the tea leaves. The double filtration makes the tea residue scooping more thorough, saves more manpower, shortens the processing time, and is safe and reliable during the scooping process, thereby improving the efficiency of tea paste production.

[0025] To facilitate a clear understanding of the technical means, inventive features, objectives, and effects of this invention, the following detailed description is provided. Figures 1 to 10 The invention will be further illustrated as shown.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, this invention is a tea paste brewing device, including a mounting base 1, a lifting assembly on the mounting base 1, a sealing cover 4 fixedly mounted on the lifting assembly, the lifting assembly being able to move the sealing cover 4 up and down, a brewing pot 5 on the mounting base 1, the sealing cover 4 being able to cover the upper end of the brewing pot 5 to seal the brewing pot 5, a fine mesh cover 9 being provided inside the brewing pot 5, a coarse mesh cover 30 being provided inside the fine mesh cover 9, and a feed inlet 2 being fixedly connected to the outer side of the coarse mesh cover 30. 3. Feed inlet 23 is connected to the inside of coarse mesh cover 30. Feed inlet 23 is fixedly extended through the outside of fine mesh cover 9. Feed inlet 24, which is connected to the outside of fine mesh cover 9, is fixedly connected to the inside of fine mesh cover 9. Both feed inlet 24 and feed inlet 23 are threaded at their ends. Both feed inlet 23 and feed inlet 24 are provided with caps 25. The ends of feed inlet 24 and feed inlet 23 are threaded to caps 25. Multiple rubber balls 31 are provided inside coarse mesh cover 30. A drive assembly is provided on the sealing cover 4, and an agitation mechanism is provided on the drive assembly. The fine mesh cover 9 is installed on the agitation mechanism. The drive assembly can drive the agitation mechanism to rotate, and the agitation mechanism can drive the fine mesh cover 9 to rotate. The mounting base 1 is equipped with a tilting component, which can drive the cooking pot 5 to rotate.

[0027] The lifting assembly includes two cylinders 2 fixedly connected to the mounting base 1. The telescopic ends of the cylinders 2 are fixedly mounted with support frames 3, and the support frames 3 are fixedly connected to the sealing cover 4.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the tilting assembly includes two vertical frames 7, which are fixedly mounted on the mounting base 1. Each of the two vertical frames 7 is rotatably connected to a horizontal shaft via bearings. Both horizontal shafts are fixedly connected to the cooking pot 5. A first motor 8 is fixedly mounted on any one of the vertical frames 7, and the output end of the first motor 8 is poweredly connected to any one of the horizontal shafts.

[0029] The first motor 8 is a self-locking motor. After power is cut off, the conveyor shaft of this type of motor is self-locked and cannot rotate. When the first motor 8 is started, it drives the horizontal shaft to rotate, and the horizontal shaft synchronously drives the brewing pot 5 to rotate. In the initial state, the brewing pot 5 is in a vertical position with the opening facing upward. After the tea paste is brewed, the first motor 8 needs to be started to drive the brewing pot 5 to rotate. During this process, the brewing pot 5 is tilted. During the tilting process, the tea paste in the brewing pot 5 is poured out. Pouring the tea paste is convenient and easy to remove, which is efficient and labor-saving.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the drive assembly includes a second motor 15, which is fixedly mounted on the sealing cover 4. The output end of the second motor 15 is poweredly connected to a rotating shaft 16, which passes through the sealing cover 4. A fixing plate 19 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 16 away from the second motor 15, and an insert block 18 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing plate 19 away from the rotating shaft 16.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the drive assembly also includes a horizontal block 17. A slot 21 is provided on the side of the horizontal block 17 near the second motor 15. The insert 18 can be inserted into the slot 21. A fixing bolt 22 is threaded onto the horizontal block 17. The end of the fixing bolt 22 passes through the slot 21. A fixing hole 20 is provided on the outer side of the insert 18. The fixing bolt 22 can be inserted into the fixing hole 20. The lower surface of the fixing plate 19 abuts against the upper surface of the horizontal block 17.

[0032] Starting the second motor 15 can drive the rotating shaft 16 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 16 can simultaneously drive the horizontal block 17 to rotate, which in turn can drive the vertical block 6 and the fine mesh cover 9 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 16.

[0033] During disassembly, the fixing bolt 22 needs to be rotated to disengage it from the fixing hole 20. At this time, pushing the horizontal block 17 downward can disengage it from the insert block 18, thus completing the disassembly of the stirring mechanism or scraper 34. The disassembly is convenient and flexible, facilitating the replacement of the rotating gear 11, vertical block 6, fine mesh cover 9, etc., thereby improving the practicality of the tea paste brewing equipment.

[0034] In this design, the contact between the fixing plate 19 and the horizontal block 17 increases the strength of the connection between the insert block 18 and the horizontal block 17.

[0035] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the stirring mechanism includes two vertical blocks 6, which are fixedly mounted on a horizontal block 17. A fixed shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the vertical block 6 via a bearing. The fixed shaft 10 passes through the vertical block 6. A rotating gear 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the vertical block 6. The end of the vertical block 6 away from the rotating gear 11 passes through a fine mesh cover 9 and is fixedly connected to a coarse mesh cover 30. Multiple protrusions 32 are fixedly connected inside the coarse mesh cover 30. The fine mesh cover 9 is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft 10. Multiple mounting rods 13 are provided on the sealing cover 4. A fixed block 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the mounting rod 13 away from the sealing cover 4. An end face gear 12 is fixedly connected to the fixed block 14. The multiple mounting rods 13 are arranged in a circumferential array around the end face gear 12. Two rotating gears 11 mesh with the end face gear 12. The upper surface of the fixed block 14 is fixedly mounted to the lower surface of the end face gear 12.

[0036] In this design, both the fine mesh cover 9 and the coarse mesh cover 30 are made of metal mesh and are elliptical in shape. The mesh openings of the fine mesh cover 9 are much smaller than those of the coarse mesh cover 30. The coarse mesh cover 30 can filter the tea leaves during the steeping process, while the fine mesh cover 9 can filter out even finer tea leaf fragments. The dual filtration of the fine mesh cover 9 and the coarse mesh cover 30 can prevent tea leaf fragments from entering the boiling pot 5, which would make the tea soup after steeping in the boiling pot 5 cloudy and affect the quality of the tea paste, thereby improving the quality of the tea paste.

[0037] In use, pour an appropriate amount of tea leaves into the coarse mesh cover 30 through the feed inlet 23, then tighten the cover 25 onto the feed inlet 23 to seal it. Next, pour an appropriate amount of water into the boiling pot 5, mixing the water and tea leaves in a certain ratio. Heat the water in the boiling pot 5 to boiling point. Then, start the cylinder 2 to move the sealing cover 4 downwards. Simultaneously, the sealing cover 4 moves the fine mesh cover 9 and the end gear 12 downwards. During this downward movement, the end gear 12 and the fine mesh cover 9 are submerged in water, soaking the tea leaves. Then, start the second motor 15 to rotate at low speed. The second motor 15 drives the rotating shaft 16 and the horizontal... When block 17 rotates, the horizontal block 17 synchronously drives the vertical block 6 to rotate, the vertical block 6 synchronously drives the fixed shaft 10 to rotate, and the fixed shaft 10 synchronously drives the coarse mesh cover 30, the fine mesh cover 9, and the rotating gear 11 to rotate. When the fine mesh cover 9, the vertical block 6, the fixed shaft 10, and the rotating gear 11 rotate around the axis of the end face gear 12, they can stir the tea in the brewing pot 5. During the stirring process, the tea leaves tumble inside the coarse mesh cover 30. On the one hand, the stirring can accelerate molecular diffusion and improve the uniformity of extraction. On the other hand, it can make the tea leaves heat evenly and improve the extraction efficiency, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of tea soup extraction. As the rotating gear 11 rotates around the end face gear 12, it meshes with the end face gear 12, thereby driving the rotating gear 11 to rotate around the fixed shaft 10. The rotation of the fixed shaft 10 synchronously drives the fine mesh cover 9 and the coarse mesh cover 30 to rotate. As the coarse mesh cover 30 and the fine mesh cover 9 rotate around the axis of the fixed shaft 10, they cause the tea leaves and rubber balls 31 inside the coarse mesh cover 30 to rotate and tumble. The rubber balls 31, while tumbling inside the coarse mesh cover 30, can cause the tea leaves to swirl around, and the coarse mesh cover 30 and the fine mesh cover 9... The mesh cover 9 can rotate both around the axis of the end face gear 12 and the axis of the fixed shaft 10, resulting in double agitation. This accelerates the release of tea flavor, making extraction more thorough. It also improves the convection between the tea water outside the fine mesh cover 9 and the tea water inside the coarse mesh cover 30, making the tea soup more uniform. This accelerates the release of effective components in the tea, improves the extraction effect and quality of the tea soup, and prevents stratification during the tea soup steeping process. This makes the tea extraction steeping more efficient and of higher quality, further improving the quality and efficiency of tea paste preparation.

[0038] When the tea has finished steeping, cylinder 2 is activated to move the sealing cover 4 upwards. During the movement of the sealing cover 4, the fine mesh cover 9 and the coarse mesh cover 30 are moved out of the boiling pot 5. In this process, the steeped tea leaves are moved out of the boiling pot 5 to drain the water. The fine mesh cover 9 and the coarse mesh cover 30 can avoid the tea leaves from being scooped out. The double filtration makes the tea residue scooping out more thorough, saves more manpower, shortens the processing time, and is safe and reliable during the scooping process, thereby improving the efficiency of tea paste production.

[0039] In this design, the tea leaves are poured into the coarse mesh cover 30 and then submerged in the water in the boiling pot 5. This ensures the tea leaves are completely submerged, preventing them from floating and causing insufficient steeping, thus improving the quality of the tea infusion. The rubber ball 31 allows for dynamic agitation of the tea leaves within the coarse mesh cover 30, further enhancing the steeping process and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the tea infusion.

[0040] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the stirring mechanism also includes an inner ring groove 44, which is opened inside the sealing cover 4. A sliding ring 38 is slidably connected inside the inner ring groove 44. Multiple limiting grooves 42 are opened on the outer side of the sliding ring 38, extending out of the upper and lower surfaces of the sliding ring 38. The multiple limiting grooves 42 are arranged in a circular array with the sliding ring 38 as the center. A rotating groove 39 is opened through the sliding ring 38. A positioning ring rod 40 is fixedly connected to the sliding ring 38, and the positioning ring rod 40 passes through the rotating groove 39. Multiple sliding blocks 41 are fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner ring groove 44. The sliding blocks 41 are inserted into the rotating groove 39 and are slidably connected to the rotating groove 39. Multiple connecting grooves 29 are opened on the top wall of the sealing cover 4. The connecting grooves 29 communicate with the inner ring groove 44. The end of the mounting rod 13 away from the fixed block 14 can be inserted into the connecting groove 29 and is slidably connected to the connecting groove 29.

[0041] like Figures 5 to 10 As shown, the agitation mechanism also includes a limiting spring 43, which is located in the rotating groove 39. The positioning ring rod 40 slides through the sliding block 41 and passes through the limiting spring 43. One end of the limiting spring 43 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 41, and the other end of the limiting spring 43 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove 39. The extension and retraction path of the limiting spring 43 is consistent with the sliding path of the sliding block 41. A slot 37 is provided on the side of the mounting rod 13 near the sliding ring 38, and the sliding ring 38 can be inserted into the slot 37. The sliding ring 38 and the slot 37 are slidably connected.

[0042] like Figures 5 to 10As shown, the stirring mechanism also includes a fixed ring 27. The sealing cover 4 has an annular groove 26 on the side away from the cooking pot 5. The annular groove 26 communicates with the inner annular groove 44. Multiple support columns 28 are fixedly connected to the side of the sliding ring 38 away from the end face gear 12. The support columns 28 are inserted into the annular groove 26. The end of the support column 28 away from the sliding ring 38 extends out of the outer side of the sealing cover 4 through the annular groove 26. The end of the support column 28 away from the sliding ring 38 is fixedly connected to the fixed ring 27. The rotating shaft 16 coincides with the axis of the end face gear 12.

[0043] Initially, the limiting groove 42 and the connecting groove 29 are misaligned. When fixing the mounting rod 13 to the sealing cover 4, the fixing ring 27 needs to be pushed first. The fixing ring 27 synchronously drives the support column 28 to rotate, and the support column 28 synchronously drives the sliding ring 38 to rotate. Because the sliding block 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner ring groove 44, the sliding ring 38 compresses the limiting spring 43 during rotation, causing the limiting spring 43 to deform. When the sliding ring 38 rotates until the limiting groove 42 is aligned with the connecting groove 29, the end of the mounting rod 13 away from the fixing block 14 is inserted into the connecting groove 29. During this process, the mounting rod 13 passes through the limiting groove 42, causing the upper surface of the mounting rod 13 to... The sliding ring 38 abuts against the top wall of the connecting groove 29, and then the push on the fixing ring 27 is released. Under the release force of the limiting spring 43, the sliding ring 38 is driven to reset. During this process, the outer side of the sliding ring 38 is driven into the slot 37, thereby causing the limiting groove 42 to misalign with the connecting groove 29. The outer side of the sliding ring 38 passing through the slot 37 can fix the mounting rod 13, preventing the mounting rod 13 from moving up and down, thus preventing the mounting rod 13 from being pulled out of the connecting groove 29, thereby completing the fixing of the mounting rod 13, and thus fixing the end face gear 12, fixing the end face gear 12 to the sealing cover 4. In the same principle, when disassembling, rotate the fixing ring 27 to align the limiting groove 42 with the connecting groove 29, and then push the end face gear 12 downward to disengage the mounting rod 13 from the connecting groove 29, thus completing the disassembly of the end face gear 12. The disassembly is simple and convenient, thereby improving the practicality of tea paste preparation and facilitating the replacement and maintenance of the end face gear 12.

[0044] like Figure 9 As shown, a sliding rod 33 is fixedly connected to the horizontal block 17. A scraper 34 is provided on the sliding rod 33. The scraper 34 is U-shaped. A sliding cylinder 35 is fixedly connected to the scraper 34. The sliding rod 33 is inserted into the sliding cylinder 35. The sliding rod 33 and the sliding cylinder 35 are detachably fixedly connected. A locking bolt 36 is threaded on the sliding cylinder 35. A through hole is opened on the sliding rod 33. The locking bolt 36 can be inserted into the through hole.

[0045] After draining the steeped tea leaves, rotate the fixing bolt 22 to slide it out of the fixing hole 20, completing the disassembly of the fine mesh cover 9, vertical block 6, horizontal block 17, etc. Then, rotate the fixing ring 27 to align the limiting groove 42 with the connecting groove 29, and push the end face gear 12 downward to disengage the mounting rod 13 from the connecting groove 29, completing the disassembly of the end face gear 12. Finally, insert the insert block 18 into the horizontal block 17 of the fixed scraper 34 and tighten the fixing bolt 22 so that the fixing bolt 22 is inserted into the fixing hole 20, thereby fixing the scraper 34 to the drive. On the moving assembly, the starting cylinder 2 drives the scraper 34 to move downwards until the scraper 34 is in contact with the inner wall of the boiling pot 5. Then, the second motor 15 is started, which can drive the scraper 34 and the sliding rod 33 to stir the tea soup. At this time, the boiling pot 5 is started to heat and boil the tea soup, gradually reducing the water until the tea soup is boiled into a paste. During the rotation of the scraper 34, it can not only stir the tea soup, but also prevent the tea paste from sticking to the bottom of the pot and causing the pot to burn. There is no need for repeated manual stirring, which saves more manpower and improves the practicality of the tea paste boiling process.

[0046] In this design, the sliding rod 33 is relatively long. When the scraper 34 comes into contact with the bottom wall of the cooking pot 5, the sealing cover 4 will not close the cooking pot 5, thus facilitating the evaporation of water during the cooking process.

[0047] In this design, the scraper 34 and the fine mesh cover 9 cannot be used simultaneously.

[0048] A tea paste brewing equipment has a brewing process, which includes: S1: Pour the tea leaves into the coarse mesh cover 30 through the feed inlet 23, tighten the cover 25 on the feed inlet 23, and pour an appropriate amount of water into the boiling pot 5 in proportion. S2: Heat the water in the boiling pot 5 to boiling point, then start the cylinder 2 to move the sealing cover 4 downwards and submerge the fine mesh cover 9 in the water, so that the tea leaves are submerged and the tea leaves are steeped or boiled. S3: Start the second motor 15 to rotate at low speed, which can stir the tea in the brewing pot 5 and make the tea leaves roll in the coarse mesh cover 30. S4: Soaking or boiling tea leaves. At this time, the boiling pot 5 contains tea soup. When the tea soup has been soaked, start cylinder 2 to move the sealing cover 4 upward and move the soaked tea leaves out of the boiling pot 5 to drain the water. S5: Remove the end face gear 12, then remove the fine mesh cover 9, and then install the scraper 34; S6: Continue to boil the tea soup. Start cylinder 2 to move scraper 34 downwards until scraper 34 is in contact with the inner wall of boiling pot 5. Start second motor 15 to drive scraper 34 to stir the tea soup until the tea soup is boiled into a paste.
