[0002] Scented tea, classified as a reprocessed tea, is a type of tea with a floral aroma. It is made by scenting raw tea leaves with fresh flowers. The core process of scented tea is the scenting process, which mainly involves the flowers releasing their fragrance and the tea leaves absorbing it. This process of releasing and absorbing fragrance gives the tea leaves their unique floral aroma characteristics. Currently, the scenting equipment available on the market is essentially a machine-made substitute for traditional manual methods, but the control of the temperature for both flower cultivation and scenting is not ideal.

[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0041] In the description of this disclosure, it should be understood that the terms "center," "lateral," "longitudinal," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," "lower," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments of the scenting equipment provided in this application, the scenting equipment includes a chamber 1, a feeding component 2, and a stirring component 5. The chamber 1 is configured to temporarily store the flower tea raw materials. The chamber 1 includes a shelf 11 for temporarily storing the flower tea raw materials. The feeding component 2 is connected to the inlet of the chamber 1 and is configured to transport the flower tea raw materials into the chamber 1. The stirring component 5 is installed on the shelf 11 and is configured to stir the flower tea raw materials.
[0043] By installing a stirring component 5 on shelf 11, the raw materials for flower tea on shelf 11 can be stirred. When the raw materials are fresh flowers, stirring can accelerate the blooming of the flowers and also dissipate heat and regulate the temperature of the flowers by turning them over. When the raw materials are a mixture of tea and flowers, stirring can regulate the scenting temperature and improve the scenting effect.
[0044] There are several options for the specific structure of the stirring component 5.
[0045] In some embodiments, the stirring assembly 5 includes a stirring rod 51 and a rotating shaft 52, the stirring rod 51 being mounted on the rotating shaft 52, and the rotating shaft 52 being rotatably mounted on the shelf 11.
[0046] When the rotating shaft 52 rotates relative to the shelf 11, it can drive the stirring rod 51 on the rotating shaft 52 to rotate. The rotation of the stirring rod 51 can stir the flower tea raw materials, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation and accelerating the blooming of flowers.
[0047] The number of stirring rods 51 can be flexibly set as needed.
[0048] In some embodiments, the stirring assembly 5 includes a plurality of stirring groups, which are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 52. Each stirring group includes a plurality of stirring rods 51, which are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 52.
[0049] By setting up multiple stirring groups arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 52, stirring can be achieved in multiple places in the axial direction, avoiding the difference in the whole layer of flower tea raw materials caused by stirring in a single place.
[0050] By setting each mixing group to have multiple mixing rods 51 arranged circumferentially along the rotating shaft 52, the mixing uniformity at each mixing position can be effectively improved.
[0051] In some embodiments, the stirring assembly 5 is movable along the length of the shelf 11.
[0052] By setting the stirring component 5 to be movable along the length of the shelf 11, uniform stirring along the length of the shelf 11 can be achieved by moving the stirring component 5, so that the flower tea raw materials along the entire length of the shelf 11 can be stirred.
[0053] By moving the stirring component 5, the number of stirring components 5 can be reduced, the number of parts can be reduced, and some costs can be saved.
[0054] In some embodiments, the stirring component 5 is movable along the length of the shelf 11, but the stirring component 5 cannot rotate relative to the shelf 11. The stirring component 5 can be set in a shape similar to a rake. When the stirring component 5 moves along the length of the shelf 11, the stirring component 5 can replace manual turning of the flower tea raw materials, so that the flower tea raw materials are spread out, play a role in ventilation, and accelerate the heat dissipation and cooling of the flower tea raw materials.
[0055] In other embodiments, the stirring assembly 5 is movable not only along the length of the shelf 11 but also rotatable relative to the shelf 11. That is, the stirring assembly 5 can move along the length of the shelf 11 while also rotating relative to it. This embodiment of the stirring assembly 5 can increase the stirring effect and improve the perforation effect. In this embodiment, the stirring assembly 5 may include a stirring rod 51 and a rotating shaft 52. The stirring rod 51 is mounted on the rotating shaft 52, which is rotatably mounted on the shelf 11. Simultaneously, the rotating shaft 52 can move along the length of the shelf 11, allowing the stirring rod 51 to move along the length of the shelf 11 while also rotating.
[0056] In some embodiments, the scenting device further includes a track 53 and a slider 54, the stirring assembly 5 is mounted on the slider 54, the slider 54 is slidably mounted on the track 53, the track 53 is mounted on the shelf 11, and the track 53 extends along the length of the shelf 11.
[0057] In this embodiment, by setting the slider 54 and the track 53, the stirring component 5 can move along the track 53 with the slider 54, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of the movement of the stirring component 5.
[0058] In an embodiment where the stirring assembly 5 includes a stirring rod 51 and a rotating shaft 52, the stirring rod 51 can be mounted on the rotating shaft 52, and the rotating shaft 52 can be rotatably mounted on the slider 54. The rotating shaft 52 can also rotate relative to the slider 54 when it moves along the track 53 with the slider 54, so as to achieve the purpose of moving along the length direction of the shelf 11 while rotating.
[0059] The shape of slider 54 can be flexibly set as needed.
[0060] In some embodiments, the slider 54 is generally triangular in shape, which can provide stable support for the rotating shaft 52 and the stirring rod 51, thereby improving the reliability of the support.
[0061] In some embodiments, the stirring assembly 5 further includes a driving assembly configured to drive the stirring assembly 5 to move relative to the shelf 11.
[0062] By setting up a drive component, the stirring component 5 can be driven to move relative to the shelf 11, thereby automating the movement of the stirring component 5.
[0063] The drive components can be motors, cylinders, or hydraulic cylinders, etc.
[0064] In some embodiments, the air-filling device further includes a gas-liquid conveying pipe, the stirring rod 51 is a hollow structure, and the stirring rod 51 is provided with an inlet and an outlet, with the gas-liquid conveying pipe connected to the inlet.
[0065] By making the stirring rod 51 a hollow structure, gas, liquid, or a gas-liquid mixture can be supplied into the stirring rod 51 through a gas-liquid delivery pipe, and then sprayed onto the flower tea raw materials located on the shelf 11 through the outlet of the stirring rod 51. These gases, liquids, or gas-liquid mixtures can be used to heat, cool, dry, humidify, or preserve the flower tea raw materials, thereby achieving temperature and humidity control of the flower tea raw materials.
[0066] By setting the stirring rod 51 as a hollow structure, the stirring rod can simultaneously heat, cool, dry, humidify and preserve the raw materials of the flower tea while stirring them, thus enabling the stirring component 5 to have at least two functions at the same time and improving the utilization value of the stirring component 5.
[0067] In some embodiments, the air-filling device further includes a gas-liquid conveying pipe, the rotating shaft 52 is a hollow structure, and the rotating shaft 52 is provided with an inlet and an outlet, with the gas-liquid conveying pipe connected to the inlet.
[0068] By making the rotating shaft 52 a hollow structure, gas, liquid, or a gas-liquid mixture can be conveyed into the rotating shaft 52 through a gas-liquid conveying pipe, and then sprayed onto the flower tea raw materials located on the shelf 11 through the outlet of the rotating shaft 52. These gases, liquids, or gas-liquid mixtures can be used to heat, cool, dry, humidify, or preserve the flower tea raw materials, thereby achieving temperature and humidity control of the flower tea raw materials.
[0069] By setting the rotating shaft 52 as a hollow structure, the tea raw materials can be heated, cooled, dried, humidified and preserved while being stirred, so that the stirring component 5 has at least two functions at the same time, thus improving the utilization value of the stirring component 5.
[0070] In some embodiments, the air-filling device further includes a gas-liquid conveying pipe. The stirring rod 51 and the rotating shaft 52 are both hollow structures. The stirring rod 51 and the rotating shaft 52 are in gas-liquid communication. The outlet of the gas-liquid conveying pipe is connected to the inlet of the stirring rod 51 or the inlet of the rotating shaft 52, so that the gas, liquid or gas-liquid mixture conveyed by the gas-liquid conveying pipe first enters the stirring rod 51 and then exits through the outlet of the rotating shaft 52, or first enters the rotating shaft 52 and then exits through the outlet of the stirring rod 51.
[0071] In some embodiments, the stirring assembly 5 further includes a regulating valve, a temperature and humidity sensor 55, and a gas sensor 56. The regulating valve is disposed on the gas-liquid delivery pipe and is configured to regulate the delivery volume of the gas-liquid delivery pipe. The temperature and humidity sensor 55 and the gas sensor 56 are respectively disposed on the stirring assembly 5. The regulating valve is signal-connected to the temperature and humidity sensor 55 and the gas sensor 56 to regulate the delivery volume of the gas-liquid delivery pipe according to the detection results of the temperature and humidity sensor 55 and the gas sensor 56.
[0072] The opening of the regulating valve is adjustable. By adjusting the opening of the regulating valve, the conveying capacity can be greater than zero when the regulating valve is open, equal to zero when the regulating valve is closed, or the conveying capacity can be adjusted when the regulating valve is open.
[0073] By setting a temperature and humidity sensor 55, the temperature and humidity at the location of the stirring component 5 on the shelf 11 can be detected, that is, the real-time temperature and humidity of the flower tea raw materials at this location. This allows for convenient adjustment of the opening of the regulating valve based on the real-time temperature and humidity of the flower tea raw materials. In other words, by adjusting the amount of gas, liquid, or gas-liquid mixture delivered to the flower tea raw materials, the temperature and humidity of the flower tea raw materials can be adjusted in a timely manner to dissipate heat and moisture or increase temperature and humidity.
[0074] By setting a gas sensor 56, the gas concentration at the location of the stirring component 5 on the shelf 11 can be detected, thereby determining whether there are flower tea raw materials on the shelf 11 or roughly judging the amount of flower tea raw materials. This allows for convenient adjustment of the opening of the regulating valve based on the amount of flower tea raw materials, thereby adjusting the amount of gas, liquid, or gas-liquid mixture delivered to the flower tea raw materials, and timely dissipating heat and moisture or increasing temperature and humidity of the flower tea raw materials.
[0075] In addition, the gas concentration detected by gas sensor 56 can also be used to determine the scenting process, providing data support for obtaining a more suitable camellia-flower mixing ratio.
[0076] In some embodiments, the scenting device further includes a drive assembly, a temperature and humidity sensor 55, and a gas sensor 56. The drive assembly is configured to drive the stirring assembly 5 to rotate relative to the shelf 11. The temperature and humidity sensor 55 and the gas sensor 56 are respectively disposed on the stirring assembly 5. The drive assembly is signal-connected to the temperature and humidity sensor 55 and the gas sensor 56 to drive the stirring assembly 5 to rotate according to the detection results of the temperature and humidity sensor 55 and the gas sensor 56.
[0077] By setting a temperature and humidity sensor 55, the temperature and humidity at the location of the stirring component 5 on the shelf 11 can be detected, that is, the real-time temperature and humidity of the flower tea raw materials. This allows the stirring component 5 to be driven to rotate relative to the shelf 11 based on the real-time temperature and humidity of the flower tea raw materials. In other words, the stirring action of the stirring component 5 can dissipate heat and moisture from the flower tea raw materials in a timely manner, thereby adjusting the temperature and humidity of the flower tea raw materials.
[0078] By setting a gas sensor 56, the gas concentration at the location of the stirring component 5 on the shelf 11 can be detected, thereby determining whether there are flower tea raw materials on the shelf 11 or roughly determining the amount of flower tea raw materials. This allows the drive component to rotate the stirring component 5 relative to the shelf 11 based on the amount of flower tea raw materials. In other words, the stirring action of the stirring component 5 can dissipate heat and moisture from the flower tea raw materials in a timely manner, thus regulating the temperature and humidity of the flower tea raw materials.
[0079] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the air-conditioning device further includes an air conditioning unit 10, the compartment 1 has a first air outlet and a second air outlet, the air outlet of the air conditioning unit 10 is connected to the first air outlet and the gas-liquid conveying pipe respectively, and the air inlet of the air conditioning unit 10 is connected to the second air outlet.
[0080] By setting up the air conditioning unit 10, the temperature and humidity of the storage room 1 can be regulated so that the temperature and humidity in the storage room 1 meet the needs of growing or scenting flowers.
[0081] In some embodiments, the air inlet of the air conditioning unit 10 can also be connected to the external environment to send fresh air into the interior of the air conditioning unit 10. The fresh air is then sent into the compartment 1 after being conditioned and filtered by the air conditioning unit 10.
[0082] The air inlet of the air conditioning unit 10 can also be connected to an oxygen delivery system to supply oxygen into the interior of the air conditioning unit 10. After the oxygen is conditioned and filtered by the air conditioning unit 10, it is sent into the chamber 1 to increase the oxygen concentration in the chamber 1 and improve the effect of growing or scenting flowers.
[0083] In some embodiments, the air conditioning unit 10 includes a casing and multiple components disposed inside the casing. The inner surface of the casing and the outer surfaces of the multiple components are made of stainless steel, and the stainless steel surface is coated with Teflon to avoid the metallic odor of stainless steel affecting the flavor of the tea.
[0084] like Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioning unit 10 includes a casing and an air inlet section 101, a first filter section 102, a first heating section 103, a return air section 104, a second filter section 105, a chilled water coil section 106, a second heating section 107, a humidification section 108, an intermediate section 109, and a fan section 110 disposed inside the casing.
[0085] Outside air enters the chassis through the air inlet section 101, is filtered by the first filter section 102 and heated by the first heating section 103. The return air discharged from the chamber 1 enters the chassis through the return air section 104, and together with the filtered and heated outside air, enters the second filter section 105 for filtration. After being conditioned by the chilled water coil section 106 and the second heating section 107, it enters the humidification section 108 to adjust the humidity, and finally is discharged through the intermediate section 109 and the fan section 110.
[0086] The chassis is constructed from low thermal conductivity B1 flame-retardant polyurethane and inner and outer double-layer steel plates through a one-time foaming process, with a foaming density ≥45kg / m³. 3 It has excellent heat insulation, heat insulation, and noise reduction functions. An insulation layer with a thickness of ≥70mm is installed between the inner and outer steel plates of the enclosure. The thermal conductivity of the insulation material used in the insulation layer is no greater than 0.035W / m·℃. It has good structural strength and good heat insulation effect to ensure that no obvious condensation occurs on the inner and outer surfaces under high temperature and humidity conditions.
[0087] The inner surface of the box is made of SUS304 stainless steel sheet with a thickness of no less than 1.0mm. The stainless steel surface is coated with Teflon to prevent the metallic taste of stainless steel from affecting the flavor of the tea.
[0088] The inner surface of the box is sealed with silicone and boron-free sealant, which is odorless even in high temperature and high humidity environments.
[0089] The enclosure is equipped with an inspection door, and the perimeter of the inspection door is continuously fitted with airtight sealing rubber strips. The sealing material used for the inspection door has undergone odor testing in advance to ensure that there is no odor in high temperature and high humidity environments.
[0090] The flexible joints of the internal air ducts are made of odorless materials that are resistant to high temperature and humidity.
[0091] The fan section 110 uses a volute-less direct-connection, plug-in type fan with an external motor and an internal fan. The internal frame of the insert housing is made of SUS304 stainless steel and is coated with electrostatic powder coating to avoid the metallic taste of stainless steel affecting the flavor of the tea.
[0092] The cold water coil section 106 is made of seamless copper pipe and undergoes electrophoresis treatment to avoid the metallic taste of copper affecting the flavor of the tea.
[0093] The first heating section 103, the second heating section 107, and the humidification section 108 are all made of SUS304 stainless steel, and the stainless steel surface is coated with Teflon to avoid the metallic taste of stainless steel affecting the flavor of the tea.
[0094] Before assembling the air conditioning unit 10, appropriate odor removal measures are formulated according to the material characteristics. For materials that are prone to grease buildup, such as copper pipes, aluminum foil sheets, shock-absorbing springs, and fan impellers, they are first soaked in neutral detergent, then wiped with alcohol, and finally rinsed clean with water.
[0095] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the scenting device provided in this application, the scenting device further includes a conveying component 3, which is connected to the outlet of the chamber 1. The conveying component 3 is configured to convey the scented tea raw materials output from the chamber 1, and can optionally cause the scented tea raw materials to vibrate during the conveying process.
[0096] In the above embodiment, by setting the conveying component 3, the flower tea raw materials output from the chamber 1 can be made to vibrate during the conveying process. That is, the flower tea raw materials can be made to vibrate or not vibrate, thus providing two different options to meet different user needs, adapt to different process flows in the scenting process, and expand the applicability of the scenting equipment.
[0097] In some embodiments, the raw materials for flower tea stored in compartment 1 can be fresh flowers, such as orchids, jasmine, or a mixture of orchids and jasmine. In this embodiment, compartment 1 is used for growing flowers.
[0098] In some embodiments, the raw materials for scented tea stored in compartment 1 can be a blend of scented teas, which may include orchids, jasmine flowers, and tea leaves. In this embodiment, compartment 1 is used for scenting with flowers.
[0099] In this embodiment, the feeding assembly 2 can be located inside or outside the chamber 1. The conveying assembly 3 can be located inside or outside the chamber 1.
[0100] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 3 includes a first conveying device 31, a second conveying device 32, and a third conveying device 33. The first conveying device 31 is connected to the outlet of the chamber 1. The second conveying device 32 includes a conveying body and a vibration device. The vibration device is configured to vibrate the flower tea raw material located on the conveying body. The third conveying device 33 is configured to convey the flower tea raw material. The first conveying device 31 may be selectively connected to the second conveying device 32 or the third conveying device 33 to convey the flower tea raw material to the second conveying device 32 or the third conveying device 33 through the first conveying device 31.
[0101] In the above embodiments, the first conveying device 31 may be connected to the second conveying device 32 or the third conveying device 33. That is, the first conveying device 31 may be connected to the second conveying device 32 or the first conveying device 31 may be connected to the third conveying device 33.
[0102] When the first conveying device 31 is connected to the second conveying device 32, the second conveying device 32 includes a vibration device that can cause the flower tea raw material located on the conveying body to vibrate. Therefore, the flower tea raw material entering the second conveying device 32 from the first conveying device 31 will vibrate. When the flower tea raw material is fresh flower, the vibration can accelerate the blooming of the flower, increase the blooming speed of the flower, and shorten the flower growing cycle.
[0103] When the first conveying device 31 is connected to the third conveying device 33, the flower tea raw materials on the first conveying device 31 can directly enter the third conveying device 33 without needing to pass through the second conveying device 32 for vibration, thus avoiding the adverse effects of vibration on the flower tea raw materials.
[0104] By setting up a second conveying device 32 specifically designed to vibrate the raw materials for flower tea, the operating speed of the second conveying device 32 can be controlled independently. This means that the conveying speed of the second conveying device 32 is not limited by the conveying speed of the first conveying device 31 or the third conveying device 33. The conveying speed of the second conveying device 32 can be flexibly adjusted as needed, and the vibration time can be increased or decreased according to the flowering status of the flowers.
[0105] In some embodiments, the conveying direction of the first conveying device 31 includes a first direction and a second direction. The first conveying device 31 is disposed above the second conveying device 32, and the receiving end of the third conveying device 33 is located below the second conveying device 32. The end of the first conveying device 31 near the third conveying device 33 protrudes from the second conveying device 32, so that when the first conveying device 31 conveys along the first direction, the flower tea raw material on the first conveying device 31 falls directly onto the third conveying device 33. The receiving end of the second conveying device 32 protrudes from the end of the first conveying device 31 away from the third conveying device 33, so that when the first conveying device 31 conveys along the second direction, the flower tea raw material on the first conveying device 31 can fall onto the second conveying device 32.
[0106] In the above embodiment, the conveying direction of the first conveying device 31 is variable. When the first conveying device 31 conveys along the first direction, since the end of the first conveying device 31 closest to the third conveying device 33, i.e., the end of the first conveying device 31 furthest from the outlet of the chamber 1, protrudes from the second conveying device 32, the flower tea raw materials on the first conveying device 31 can fall directly onto the third conveying device 33 without passing through the second conveying device 32, thus avoiding vibration of the flower tea raw materials. When the flower tea raw materials contain tea leaves, it can reduce vibration of the tea leaves, prevent the tea leaves from breaking, and avoid affecting the quality of the tea.
[0107] When the first conveying device 31 conveys along the second direction, since the receiving end of the second conveying device 32 protrudes from the end of the first conveying device 31 away from the third conveying device 33, that is, the end of the first conveying device 31 near the outlet of the chamber 1, the flower tea raw materials on the first conveying device 31 can fall onto the second conveying device 32, so that the flower tea raw materials vibrate on the second conveying device 32, thereby improving the flower tea cultivation effect.
[0108] Furthermore, since the receiving end of the third conveying device 33 is located below the second conveying device 32, the raw materials for flower tea can fall onto the third conveying device 33 after passing through the second conveying device 32 and continue to be conveyed through the third conveying device 33.
[0109] In some embodiments, the scenting device further includes a screening component 4, which is configured to screen out scented tea raw materials that do not meet preset standards, and the outlet of the chamber 1 may be selectively connected to the screening component 4 or to the conveying component 3.
[0110] By setting up the screening component 4, flower tea raw materials that do not meet the preset standards can be screened out in a timely manner, such as unopened or insufficiently opened flowers, so as to improve the quality of flower tea production in the later stages.
[0111] The outlet of the chamber 1 can be selectively connected to the screening component 4 or the conveying component 3. This means that the outlet of the chamber 1 can be connected to the screening component 4 to screen the flower tea raw materials output from the chamber 1; or the outlet of the chamber 1 can be connected to the conveying component 3 to allow the flower tea raw materials to be directly conveyed into the conveying component 3 when it is not necessary to screen the flower tea raw materials output from the chamber 1.
[0112] In this embodiment of the application, the screening component 4 can be located inside the compartment 1 or outside the compartment 1.
[0113] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the screening component 4 includes a fourth conveying device 41, a fifth conveying device 42, and a vibrating screen 43. The fourth conveying device 41 connects the outlet of the chamber 1 and the fifth conveying device 42. The fifth conveying device 42 is located between the conveying component 3 and the vibrating screen 43. The conveying direction of the fifth conveying device 42 includes a third direction and a fourth direction. The fifth conveying device 42 is configured to convey the flower tea raw material to the conveying component 3 when conveying along the third direction, and to convey the flower tea raw material to the vibrating screen 43 when conveying along the fourth direction.
[0114] The vibrating screen 43 can make the flower tea raw materials vibrate, and the flower tea raw materials can be screened through the screen holes on the vibrating screen 43 during the vibration process.
[0115] The conveying direction of the fifth conveying device 42 is variable. When the fifth conveying device 42 conveys in a third direction, the flower tea raw materials output from the outlet of the chamber 1 enter the fifth conveying device 42 after passing through the fourth conveying device 41, and then are conveyed to the conveying assembly 3 through the fifth conveying device 42, without needing to enter the vibrating screen 43 for screening.
[0116] When the fifth conveying device 42 conveys along the fourth direction, the flower tea raw materials output from the outlet of the chamber 1 enter the fifth conveying device 42 after passing through the fourth conveying device 41, and then enter the vibrating screen 43 through the fifth conveying device 42 to screen the flower tea raw materials.
[0117] By setting a fifth conveying device 42 with a variable conveying direction, the selection of flower tea raw materials is made possible. It is possible to choose to select flower tea raw materials or not to select them.
[0118] In some embodiments, the fourth conveying device 41 is connected to the middle section of the fifth conveying device 42, the first end of the fifth conveying device 42 is connected to the conveying assembly 3, and the second end is connected to the vibrating screen 43. This configuration allows the fourth conveying device 41 to convey the flower tea raw materials to the middle section of the fifth conveying device 42. When conveying the raw materials towards the first end in a third direction, the raw materials can be transported to the conveying assembly 3; when conveying them towards the second end in a fourth direction, the raw materials can be transported to the vibrating screen 43.
[0119] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 3 includes a first conveying device 31, a second conveying device 32, and a third conveying device 33. The first conveying device 31 is connected to the outlet of the chamber 1. The second conveying device 32 includes a conveying body and a vibrating device. The vibrating device is configured to vibrate the flower tea raw material located on the conveying body. The third conveying device 33 is configured to convey the flower tea raw material. The first conveying device 31 may be selectively connected to the second conveying device 32 or the third conveying device 33 to convey the flower tea raw material to the second conveying device 32 or the third conveying device 33 via the first conveying device 31. A fifth conveying device 42 is located between the first conveying device 31 and the vibrating screen 43. The fifth conveying device 42 is configured to convey the flower tea raw material to the first conveying device 31 during third-direction conveying.
[0120] By placing the fifth conveying device 42 between the first conveying device 31 and the vibrating screen 43, the flower tea raw materials can be directly conveyed to the first conveying device 31 when the fifth conveying device 42 conveys along a third direction. The choice then becomes whether the flower tea raw materials are vibrated by the second conveying device 32. In this embodiment, the flower tea raw materials output from the storage chamber 1 can be selectively screened by the vibrating screen 43 or vibrated by the second conveying device 32.
[0121] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 3 further includes a first transfer device 34, and the screening assembly 4 further includes a second transfer device 45. The first transfer device 34 is connected between the fifth conveying device 42 and the first conveying device 31, and the second transfer device 45 is connected between the fifth conveying device 42 and the vibrating screen 43.
[0122] By setting the first transfer device 34, the positions and conveying directions of the fifth conveying device 42 and the first conveying device 31 can be flexibly set as needed. For example, the first transfer device 34 can be arranged at an angle to accommodate the height difference between the fifth conveying device 42 and the first conveying device 31.
[0123] By setting up the second transfer device 45, the position and conveying direction of the fifth conveying device 42 and the vibrating screen 43 can be flexibly set as needed. For example, the second transfer device 45 can be arranged at an angle to accommodate the height difference between the fifth conveying device 42 and the vibrating screen 43.
[0124] In some embodiments, the screening component 4 further includes a third transfer device 46, which is connected between the fourth conveying device 41 and the fifth conveying device 42. The third transfer device 46 can adapt to changes in the conveying direction between the fourth conveying device 41 and the fifth conveying device 42, facilitating the connection between the screening component 4 and the conveying component 3.
[0125] In some embodiments, the outlet of the screening component 4 is connected to the conveying component 3.
[0126] By connecting the outlet of the screening component 4 to the conveying component 3, the screened flower tea raw materials can be sent back to the conveying component 3, so that the screening can be continued to be carried out by the conveying component 3 for flower cultivation or transported to the scenting station.
[0127] In some embodiments, the screening component 4 includes a vibrating screen 43 and a sixth conveying device 44, wherein the receiving end of the sixth conveying device 44 is connected to the outlet of the vibrating screen 43, and the output end of the sixth conveying device 44 is located above the conveying component 3.
[0128] By setting the output end of the sixth conveying device 44 above the conveying component 3, the flower tea raw materials output from the sixth conveying device 44 can fall onto the conveying component 3, thereby connecting the screening component 4 and the conveying component 3.
[0129] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 3 includes a first conveying device 31, a second conveying device 32, and a third conveying device 33. The first conveying device 31 is connected to the outlet of the chamber 1. The second conveying device 32 includes a conveying body and a vibration device. The vibration device is configured to vibrate the flower tea raw material located on the conveying body. The third conveying device 33 is configured to convey the flower tea raw material. The first conveying device 31 can be selectively connected to the second conveying device 32 or the third conveying device 33 to convey the flower tea raw material to the second conveying device 32 or the third conveying device 33 through the first conveying device 31. The output end of the sixth conveying device 44 is located above the first conveying device 31.
[0130] By setting the output end of the sixth conveying device 44 above the first conveying device 31, the flower tea raw material output from the sixth conveying device 44 can fall directly onto the first conveying device 31, so that it is also possible to choose whether to use the second conveying device 32 to vibrate the flower tea raw material.
[0131] In some embodiments, the screening component 4 further includes a fourth transfer device 47, which is connected between the vibrating screen 43 and the sixth conveying device 44. The fourth transfer device 47 can adapt to changes in the conveying direction between the vibrating screen 43 and the sixth conveying device 44, facilitating the connection between the screening component 4 and the conveying component 3.
[0132] In some embodiments, the scenting equipment further includes a first dispensing device 6, and the feeding assembly 2 includes a seventh conveying device 21 and an eighth conveying device 22. The end of the seventh conveying device 21 away from the chamber 1 is connected to the first dispensing device 6, and the eighth conveying device 22 is connected to the inlet of the chamber 1. The end of the seventh conveying device 21 near the chamber 1 may be selectively connected to the outlet of the eighth conveying device 22 or the conveying assembly 3, so as to convey the scented tea raw materials to the eighth conveying device 22 through the seventh conveying device 21, or to convey the scented tea raw materials output from the conveying assembly 3 to the first dispensing device 6 through the seventh conveying device 21.
[0133] By configuring one end of the seventh conveying device 21 near the chamber 1 to be optionally connected to the outlet of the eighth conveying device 22 or the conveying assembly 3, the end of the seventh conveying device 21 near the chamber 1 can be connected to the eighth conveying device 22, or the end of the seventh conveying device 21 near the chamber 1 can be connected to the outlet of the conveying assembly 3.
[0134] When the end of the seventh conveying device 21 near the chamber 1 is connected to the eighth conveying device 22, the flower tea raw materials can be conveyed from the seventh conveying device 21 to the eighth conveying device 22, and then into the chamber 1, thus realizing the input of flower tea raw materials. When the end of the seventh conveying device 21 near the chamber 1 is connected to the outlet of the conveying component 3, the flower tea raw materials output from the conveying component 3 can be conveyed from the seventh conveying device 21 to the first dispensing device 6, thus realizing the output of flower tea raw materials.
[0135] In some embodiments, the receiving end of the eighth conveying device 22 is located below the end of the seventh conveying device 21 near the chamber 1, and the outlet of the conveying assembly 3 is located above the end of the seventh conveying device 21 near the chamber 1. The conveying direction of the seventh conveying device 21 includes a fifth direction and a sixth direction. When the seventh conveying device 21 conveys along the fifth direction, it communicates with the eighth conveying device 22. When the seventh conveying device 21 conveys along the sixth direction, it communicates with the outlet of the conveying assembly 3.
[0136] By setting the conveying direction of the seventh conveying device 21 to be variable, the seventh conveying device 21 can be used to realize the input or output of flower tea raw materials, simplifying the overall structure of the feeding component 2.
[0137] The relative positions of the eighth conveying device 22, the conveying assembly 3, and the seventh conveying device 21 can support the bidirectional transport of the seventh conveying device 21.
[0138] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly 2 further includes a ninth conveying device 23, which is disposed between the seventh conveying device 21 and the eighth conveying device 22. The ninth conveying device 23 is movable along the width direction of the eighth conveying device 22 to evenly spread the flower tea raw materials on the eighth conveying device 22.
[0139] By setting up the ninth conveyor 23, the raw materials for scented tea can be evenly spread on the eighth conveyor 22 along its width direction, and then evenly transported to the shelf 11 in the storage room 1. By moving the ninth conveyor 23 along the width direction of the eighth conveyor 22, the width difference between the seventh conveyor 21 and the eighth conveyor 22 can be overcome, improving the adaptability of the scenting equipment.
[0140] In some embodiments, the ninth conveying device 23 is equipped with a weighing device that can accurately weigh the weight of the flower tea raw materials conveyed by the ninth conveying device 23 to the eighth conveying device 22 and the shelf 11, so as to control the weight of the flowers during the growing or scenting process.
[0141] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly 2 further includes a tenth conveying device 24, which is connected to a seventh conveying device 21 and is configured to provide jasmine flowers to the seventh conveying device 21.
[0142] By setting up a tenth conveyor 24, it can be specifically used to supply jasmine flowers to the seventh conveyor 21, and then the jasmine flowers are transported to the warehouse 1 for cultivation in sequence through the seventh conveyor 21, the ninth conveyor 23 and the eighth conveyor 22.
[0143] The tenth conveying device 24 can be connected to the middle of the seventh conveying device 21 so as not to affect the connection between the two ends of the seventh conveying device 21 and the first delivery device 6, the ninth conveying device 23 and the conveying assembly 3 respectively.
[0144] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly 2 further includes an eleventh conveying device 25, which is connected to the ninth conveying device 23 and is configured to convey the herbal tea mixture to the ninth conveying device 23.
[0145] The eleventh conveyor 25 can be specifically used to supply the flower tea mixture to the ninth conveyor 23, and then to the storage chamber 1 via the eighth conveyor 22 for the scenting process.
[0146] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the scenting device further includes a second dispensing device 7, a third dispensing device 8, and a mixing device 9. The seventh conveying device 21 conveys the jasmine flowers that have undergone the flower-growing process output from the conveying component 3 to the inlet of the first dispensing device 6. The first dispensing device 6 is used to dispense jasmine flowers into the mixing device 9. The second dispensing device 7 is used to dispense tea leaves into the mixing device 9. The third dispensing device 8 is used to dispense orchids into the mixing device 9. The mixing device 9 is used to mix the tea leaves, orchids, and jasmine flowers. The outlet of the mixing device 9 is connected to the eleventh conveying device 25, and then the mixed flower tea mixture is conveyed to the chamber 1 for scenting through the ninth conveying device 23 and the eighth conveying device 22.
[0147] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 3 further includes a baffle assembly disposed at one end of the first conveying device 31 near the third conveying device 33, and the baffle assembly is configured to guide the herbal tea raw material from the first conveying device 31 to the third conveying device 33.
[0148] By setting up a baffle assembly, the raw materials for flower tea can be guided to slowly fall from the first conveying device 31 to the third conveying device 33. When the height difference between the first conveying device 31 and the third conveying device 33 is large, the baffle assembly can play a good buffering role, which can reduce the damage to the raw materials for flower tea during the falling process and also prevent the separation of tea flowers during the falling process.
[0149] There are several options for the specific structure of the baffle assembly.
[0150] In some embodiments, the baffle assembly includes a first baffle and a second baffle. The first baffle is arranged vertically and has a gap between the first baffle and the end of the first conveying device 31 near the third conveying device 33. The second baffle is disposed between the first baffle and the third conveying device 33 and is inclined relative to the first baffle. The first baffle and the second baffle are configured to allow the herbal tea raw material to fall from the gap onto the second baffle and along the second baffle onto the third conveying device 33.
[0151] By setting a vertically arranged first baffle, the flower tea raw material can be blocked at the end of the first conveying device 31 along the first direction, preventing the flower tea raw material from rushing out under inertia, and also helping to control the falling position of the flower tea raw material.
[0152] By setting an inclined second baffle downstream of the first baffle, the falling tea raw materials can be caught earlier relative to the third conveying device 33, avoiding damage or separation of tea flowers caused by excessive falling height.
[0153] In some embodiments, there is a preset distance between the end of the second baffle away from the first baffle and the conveying plane of the third conveying device 33. This distance can effectively prevent the second baffle from rubbing against the third conveying device and prevent the second baffle from affecting the normal operation of the third conveying device.
[0154] In some embodiments, the baffle assembly is provided with ventilation holes.
[0155] By setting ventilation holes on the baffle assembly, the raw materials of flower tea can be cooled down as they fall.
[0156] Ventilation holes can be provided on the first baffle and the second baffle.
[0157] In some embodiments, the air-filling device further includes a gas-liquid conveying pipe that communicates with a vent.
[0158] By installing a gas-liquid delivery pipe, gas, liquid, or a gas-liquid mixture can be supplied to the baffle assembly, and then sprayed onto the flower tea raw materials through the vents. These gases, liquids, or gas-liquid mixtures can be used to heat, cool, dry, humidify, or preserve the flower tea raw materials, thereby achieving temperature and humidity control of the raw materials.
[0159] In some embodiments, the scenting equipment further includes an air conditioning unit 10, with a gas-liquid delivery pipe connecting the air outlet and the vent of the air conditioning unit 10. In this embodiment, the air conditioning unit 10 can deliver gas with a preset temperature and humidity to the flower tea raw materials through the vent, thereby effectively regulating the temperature and humidity of the flower tea raw materials.
[0160] In the embodiments provided in this application, in addition to the first conveying device 31 and the third conveying device 33, the above-mentioned baffle assembly can also be provided between other two conveying devices with a height difference (such as between the first conveying device 31 and the second conveying device 32, between the sixth conveying device 44 and the first conveying device 31, etc.), which will not be described in detail here.
[0161] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 6 The structure and operation of one embodiment of the scenting device disclosed herein will be described:
[0162] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the scenting equipment includes a chamber 1, a feeding assembly 2, a conveying assembly 3, a screening assembly 4, and a mixing assembly 5.
[0163] Storage compartment 1 includes multiple layers of shelves 11 arranged vertically, each shelf 11 capable of storing raw materials for scented tea. The entrance and exit of storage compartment 1 are located at opposite ends of the shelves 11 along their length. Storage compartment 1 can be used for growing flowers or for scenting tea.
[0164] The feeding assembly 2 is located at the inlet end of the chamber 1, and the screening assembly 4 is located at the outlet end of the chamber 1. The conveying assembly 3 is located on the side of the chamber 1.
[0165] The feeding assembly 2 includes a seventh conveyor 21, an eighth conveyor 22, and a ninth conveyor 23. The ninth conveyor 23 is located between the seventh conveyor 21 and the eighth conveyor 22. The ninth conveyor 23 receives the flower tea raw materials conveyed by the seventh conveyor 21 and conveys them to the eighth conveyor 22. The outlet of the eighth conveyor 22 is connected to the top shelf 11 of the storage compartment 1. Each shelf 11 is equipped with a conveying component and a pouring mechanism. The conveying component conveys the flower tea raw materials from one end of the shelf 11 to the other end, and the pouring mechanism assists the flower tea raw materials on the upper layer to automatically fall to the lower layer until all shelves 11 are filled with flower tea raw materials.
[0166] The seventh conveyor 21 is parallel to the length of the shelf 11. The eighth conveyor 22 is inclined and its conveying direction is from bottom to top. The ninth conveyor 23 is movable in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the seventh conveyor 21, and its moving direction is parallel to the width of the eighth conveyor 22. The ninth conveyor 23 moves along the width of the eighth conveyor 22, allowing the herbal tea raw materials to be evenly conveyed onto the eighth conveyor 22, thus accommodating the wider eighth conveyor 22. The width of the eighth conveyor 22 is approximately equal to the width of the shelf 11, ensuring that the herbal tea raw materials cover the entire shelf 11.
[0167] The conveying assembly 3 includes a first conveying device 31, a second conveying device 32, a third conveying device 33, and a first transfer device 34.
[0168] The first conveying device 31 and the second conveying device 32 are arranged parallel to each other on the side of the shelf 11, and the conveying directions of the first conveying device 31 and the second conveying device 32 are both parallel to the length direction of the shelf 11. The first conveying device 31 is located above the second conveying device 32. The third conveying device 33 is arranged on the side of the shelf 11.
[0169] The end of the first conveying device 31 near the third conveying device 33 protrudes from the second conveying device 32. The receiving end of the third conveying device 33 is located below the first conveying device 31 and the second conveying device 32. When the first conveying device 31 conveys the tea raw material from the end away from the third conveying device 33 to the end near the third conveying device 33 in the first direction, the tea raw material falling from the conveying end of the first conveying device 31 falls directly onto the third conveying device 33.
[0170] The end of the second conveying device 32 furthest from the receiving end of the third conveying device 33, i.e., the end near the outlet of the chamber 1, protrudes from the end of the first conveying device 31 furthest from the receiving end of the third conveying device 33, i.e., the end near the outlet of the chamber 1. When the first conveying device 31 conveys the tea raw materials along the second direction, i.e., from the end near the third conveying device 33 to the end furthest from the third conveying device 33, the tea raw materials falling from the conveying end of the first conveying device 31 will fall onto the second conveying device 32. The tea raw materials vibrate on the second conveying device 32, which can accelerate the blooming of the flowers and increase the speed of flower cultivation. At the same time, the second conveying device 32 can also convey the tea raw materials along the first direction from the end furthest from the third conveying device 33 to the end near the third conveying device 33. Since the receiving end of the third conveying device 33 is located below the second conveying device 32, the tea raw materials at the output end of the second conveying device 32 can fall directly onto the third conveying device 33.
[0171] The third conveying device 33 is relatively long. It can be used for straight-line conveying or, depending on the requirements, for zigzag-line conveying to adapt to the position of the subsequent receiving end.
[0172] The first transfer device 34 is connected to the end of the first conveying device 31 that is away from the third conveying device 33, and the output end of the first transfer device 34 is located above the end of the first conveying device 31 that is away from the third conveying device 33, so that the flower tea raw material output by the first transfer device 34 can fall onto the first conveying device 31. The first conveying device 31 is inclined.
[0173] The screening component 4 includes a fourth conveying device 41, a fifth conveying device 42, a vibrating screen 43, a sixth conveying device 44, a second transfer device 45, a third transfer device 46, and a fourth transfer device 47.
[0174] The fourth conveyor 41 is inclined, with its receiving end connected to the exit of the bottom shelf 11 and its output end overlapping the third transfer device 46. The output end of the third transfer device 46 overlaps the middle section of the fifth conveyor 42. The third transfer device 46 receives the tea leaves falling from the output end of the fourth conveyor 41 and then conveys them to the fifth conveyor 42.
[0175] The fifth conveying device 42 has a variable conveying direction. One end of the fifth conveying device 42 overlaps above the receiving end of the first transfer device 34, and the other end overlaps above the receiving end of the second transfer device 45. The second transfer device 45 is arranged at an angle, and its output end overlaps above the receiving end of the vibrating screen 43. The output end of the vibrating screen 43 overlaps above the receiving end of the fourth transfer device 47. The output end of the fourth transfer device 47 overlaps above the receiving end of the sixth conveying device 44. The sixth conveying device 44 is bent, and its output end is located above the first transfer device 34 and the first conveying device 31.
[0176] like Figure 3 As shown, the scenting equipment also includes a first dispensing device 6, a second dispensing device 7, a third dispensing device 8, and a mixing device 9.
[0177] The inlet of the first dispensing device 6 is connected to the seventh conveying device 21 to receive jasmine flowers output from the conveying assembly 3. After receiving the jasmine flowers, the first dispensing device 6 dispenses them into the mixing device 9. The second dispensing device 7 dispenses tea leaves into the mixing device 9, and the third dispensing device 8 dispenses orchids into the mixing device 9. The mixing device 9 is used to mix the tea leaves, orchids, and jasmine flowers. The outlet of the mixing device 9 is connected to the eleventh conveying device 25, and the mixed flower tea mixture is then conveyed to the storage chamber 1 for scenting through the ninth conveying device 23 and the eighth conveying device 22.
[0178] The first dispensing device 6 includes a first buffer bin 61, a first connecting device 62, a first feeder 63, a second connecting device 64, a first metering unit 65, and a first support 66.

The second buffer bin 73 is used to receive and temporarily store tea leaves. The fourth connecting device 74 connects the second buffer bin 73 and the second feeder 75. The second feeder 75 is a vibrating feeder that transports tea leaves by vibration. The fifth connecting device 76 connects the second feeder 75 and the second metering unit 77. The third connecting device 72, the fourth connecting device 74, and the fifth connecting device 76 are all chute and flexible connection structures. The second metering unit 77 is used to calculate the amount of tea leaves fed. The second support 78 serves as a support structure to support the first belt conveyor 71, the third connecting device 72, the second buffer bin 73, the fourth connecting device 74, the second feeder 75, the fifth connecting device 76, and the second metering unit 77.
[0182] The third feeding device 8 includes a second belt conveyor 81, a sixth connecting device 82, a third buffer bin 83, a seventh connecting device 84, a third feeder 85, a third metering unit 86, and a third support 87.
[0183] The second belt conveyor 81 is used to receive and transport orchids. The sixth connecting device 82 connects the second belt conveyor 81 and the third buffer bin 83. The third buffer bin 83 is used to receive and temporarily store orchids. The seventh connecting device 84 connects the third buffer bin 83 and the third feeder 85. The third feeder 85 is a vibrating feeder that transports orchids by vibration. Both the sixth connecting device 82 and the seventh connecting device 84 are chute and flexible connection structures. The third metering unit 86 is located at the suction point of the third feeder 85 and is used to calculate the amount of orchids fed. The third support 87 serves as a support structure to support the second belt conveyor 81, the sixth connecting device 82, the third buffer bin 83, the seventh connecting device 84, the third feeder 85, and the third metering unit 86.
[0184] By setting up a first dispensing device 6, a second dispensing device 7, and a third dispensing device 8 for dispensing jasmine flowers, tea leaves, and orchids respectively, and by setting up a metering unit in each of the three dispensing devices, the ratio of jasmine flowers, tea leaves, and orchids can be precisely controlled, thereby reducing the loss of aroma and improving the quality of the scenting process.
[0185] The mixing device 9 includes a third belt conveyor 91, a first stirring device 92, a fourth belt conveyor 93, an eighth connecting device 94, and a second stirring device 95.
[0186] The third conveyor belt 91 extends horizontally, and the second feeding device 7, the third feeding device 8, and the first feeding device 6 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the third conveyor belt 91. The second feeding device 7, the third feeding device 8, and the first feeding device 6 respectively feed tea leaves, orchids, and jasmine flowers onto the third conveyor belt 91. The third conveyor belt 91 conveys the tea leaves, orchids, and jasmine flowers to the first mixing device 92, and then conveys them upward through the inclined fourth conveyor belt 93, and then into the second mixing device 95 through the eighth connecting device 94.
[0187] Tea leaves, orchids, and jasmine flowers can be stirred in the first stirring device 92 or the second stirring device 95. Alternatively, they can be initially stirred in the first stirring device 92 and then stirred a second time in the second stirring device 95.
[0188] The eighth connecting device 94 is a chute and flexible connection structure. The eighth connecting device 94 connects the fourth belt conveyor 93 and the second mixing device 95. The second mixing device 95 is a drum-type mixing device.
[0189] like Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, each shelf 11 is provided with a stirring assembly 5. Each stirring assembly 5 includes a stirring group, which includes a rotating shaft 52 and a plurality of stirring rods 51. The stirring rods 51 are mounted on the rotating shaft 52, which is rotatably mounted on the shelf 11. The plurality of stirring rods 51 are evenly spaced along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 52, with four stirring rods 51 arranged circumferentially at each axial position.
[0190] The stirring assembly 5 also includes a track 53, a slider 54, a temperature and humidity sensor 55, and a gas sensor 56.
[0191] Each shelf 11 has a track 53 on both sides, and a slider 54 is connected to each end of the rotating shaft 52. The slider 54 is matched with the track 53, and the slider 54 drives the rotating shaft 52 and the stirring rod 51 to slide along the track 53.
[0192] The stirring rod 51 has a hollow structure and a channel inside. The inlet of the channel can be connected to the air outlet of the air conditioning unit 10. Part of the air from the air conditioning unit 10 is sent into the channel inside the stirring rod 51 and sprayed onto the flower tea raw materials located on the shelf 11 through the outlet of the channel to regulate the temperature and humidity of the flower tea raw materials.
[0193] The stirring rod 51 is also equipped with a temperature and humidity sensor 55 and a gas sensor 56. The temperature and humidity sensor 55 can detect the real-time temperature and humidity of the flower tea raw materials on the shelf 11. When the temperature and humidity of the flower tea raw materials do not meet the preset conditions, the stirring component 5 can be driven to rotate relative to the shelf 11 by the driving component or the gas and liquid conveying volume of the internal channel of the stirring rod 51 can be adjusted so that the stirring component 5 or the gas and liquid conveyed by the internal channel of the stirring rod 51 can dissipate heat and moisture from the flower tea raw materials in time, thereby adjusting the temperature and humidity of the flower tea raw materials.
[0194] The gas sensor 56 can detect the gas concentration of the flower tea raw materials, thereby determining whether there are flower tea raw materials on the shelf 11 or roughly judging the amount of flower tea raw materials. This allows the drive component to drive the stirring component 5 to rotate relative to the shelf 11 or adjust the gas-liquid delivery volume of the internal channel of the stirring rod 51 based on the amount of flower tea raw materials. The stirring action of the stirring component 5 or the gas-liquid delivery volume of the internal channel of the stirring rod 51 can promptly dissipate heat and moisture from the flower tea raw materials, thus regulating the temperature and humidity of the flower tea raw materials.
[0195] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the flower scenting equipment also includes an air conditioning unit 10, which can regulate the temperature and humidity inside the chamber 1 so that the temperature and humidity inside the chamber 1 meet the needs of growing or scenting flowers.
[0196] The air conditioning unit 10 includes a casing and an air inlet section 101, a first filter section 102, a first heating section 103, a return air section 104, a second filter section 105, a chilled water coil section 106, a second heating section 107, a humidification section 108, an intermediate section 109, and a fan section 110 disposed inside the casing.
[0197] Outside air enters the chassis through the air inlet section 101, is filtered by the first filter section 102 and heated by the first heating section 103. The return air discharged from the chamber 1 enters the chassis through the return air section 104, and together with the filtered and heated outside air, enters the second filter section 105 for filtration. Then, after being conditioned by the chilled water coil section 106 and the second heating section 107, it enters the humidification section 108 to adjust the humidity, and finally is discharged through the intermediate section 109 and the fan section 110.
[0198] In addition, the scenting device provided in this application embodiment may also include a controller, which automatically controls the rotation of the stirring rod 51 and adjusts the opening of the valve, etc.
[0199] The controller may be a general-purpose processor, programmable logic controller, digital signal processor, application-specific integrated circuit, field-programmable gate array or other programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic device, discrete hardware component or any suitable combination thereof for performing the functions described in this disclosure.
[0200] The following describes the working process of various steps in one embodiment of the scenting equipment disclosed herein:
[0201] This flower scenting equipment can be used for both growing flowers and scenting them.
[0202] The process for receiving flowers when you need to grow them is as follows:
[0203] First, the jasmine flowers are conveyed to the seventh conveyor 21 via the tenth conveyor 24. Then, the seventh conveyor 21 conveys the jasmine flowers to the ninth conveyor 23 along the fifth direction. The ninth conveyor 23 can move laterally along the width of the eighth conveyor 22 to evenly spread the jasmine flowers on the eighth conveyor 22. The eighth conveyor 22 can lift the received jasmine flowers to the top of the shelf 11. The conveyor devices between the shelves 11 transfer the jasmine flowers from the upper to the lower level. After the bottom shelf 11 is also covered with jasmine flowers, the tenth conveyor 24, the seventh conveyor 21, the ninth conveyor 23, and the eighth conveyor 22 stop conveying. At this time, by adjusting the air conditioning unit 10, the temperature and humidity in the storage room 1 can be maintained at the temperature and humidity required for growing flowers, providing suitable temperature and humidity for the jasmine flowers.
[0204] If the flowering speed is not ideal during the flower cultivation process, the jasmine flowers can be vibrated using the conveyor component 3. The specific vibration process is as follows:
[0205] Jasmine flowers are output from the outlet of compartment 1. The fourth conveyor 41 receives the output jasmine flowers and lifts them to the third transfer device 46. Then, the fifth conveyor 42 conveys the jasmine flowers to the first transfer device 34 along the third direction. Then, the first transfer device 34 lifts the jasmine flowers above the first conveyor 31. At the end of the conveying process, the jasmine flowers fall onto the first conveyor 31. The first conveyor 31 conveys the jasmine flowers along the second direction. At the end of the conveying process, the jasmine flowers fall onto the second conveyor 32. The vibration device on the second conveyor 32 can make the jasmine flowers vibrate, accelerating the blooming. While vibrating, the second conveyor 32 conveys the jasmine flowers to the third conveyor 33. The third conveyor 33 conveys the jasmine flowers to the seventh conveyor 21. Finally, the seventh conveyor 21 can continue to send the vibrated jasmine flowers back to the shelf 11 according to the aforementioned flower feeding process, until all the jasmine flowers on the shelf 11 have reached the preset flower growing standards.
[0206] During the flower-growing process, if some flowers do not meet the standards, they can be filtered using filter component 4. The specific filtering process is as follows:
[0207] Jasmine flowers are output from the outlet of compartment 1. The fourth conveyor 41 receives the output jasmine flowers and lifts them to the third transfer device 46. Then, the fifth conveyor 42 conveys the jasmine flowers along the fourth direction to the second transfer device 45. Then, the second transfer device 45 lifts the jasmine flowers above the vibrating screen 43. At the end of the conveying process, the jasmine flowers fall onto the vibrating screen 43. The vibrating screen 43 can screen the jasmine flowers. Jasmine flowers that are not fully open will automatically fall off. The remaining jasmine flowers that meet the standards are conveyed to the fourth transfer device 47 along with the vibrating screen 43. Then, they reach the sixth conveyor 44. The sixth conveyor 44 can directly send the jasmine flowers that meet the preset standards back to the shelf 11, or it can send the jasmine flowers that meet the preset standards to the first conveyor 31, and then vibrate them according to the aforementioned vibration process before returning them to the shelf 11.
[0208] Of course, after the jasmine flowers reach the first conveyor 31, it is also possible to choose not to vibrate and instead send the jasmine flowers directly back to the shelf. The difference between this process and the vibration process is that the first conveyor 31 conveys along the first direction, and at this time the jasmine flowers fall directly to the third conveyor 33 at the end of the conveyor, without having to pass through the second conveyor 32, thus omitting the vibration step.
[0209] In addition, this screening process can also be used for separating flower tea after scenting.
[0210] After the jasmine flowers have finished being tended, they can be transferred to the first delivery device 6. The flower delivery process is as follows:
[0211] The cultivated jasmine flowers are output from the outlet of the storage chamber 1. The fourth conveying device 41 receives the output jasmine flowers and lifts them to the third transfer device 46. Then, the fifth conveying device 42 conveys the jasmine flowers to the first transfer device 34 along the third direction. Then, the first transfer device 34 lifts the jasmine flowers above the first conveying device 31, and at the end of the conveying process, the jasmine flowers fall onto the first conveying device 31. The first conveying device 31 conveys the jasmine flowers along the first direction, and at the end of the conveying process, the jasmine flowers fall directly onto the third conveying device 33. The third conveying device 33 conveys the jasmine flowers to the seventh conveying device 21. At this time, the seventh conveying device 21 outputs the jasmine flowers to the first buffer chamber 61 of the first dispensing device 6 along the sixth direction.
[0212] Next, after the tea leaves and orchids arrive at the second dispensing device 7 and the third dispensing device 8 respectively, they can be mixed using the mixing device 9. The resulting scented tea raw material can be conveyed to the ninth conveying device 23 via the eleventh conveying device 25, and then lifted to the shelf 11 via the eighth conveying device 22 for scenting in the storage room 1. After scenting is completed, the scented tea can be output according to the aforementioned flower delivery process.
[0213] As can be seen from the above introduction, the scenting equipment provided in this disclosure achieves the purpose of scenting off the ground, which can effectively reduce manual operation and external environmental pollution, and improve the overall efficiency of the scenting process compared with traditional manual operation.
[0214] In the embodiment of the scenting equipment provided in this disclosure, the equipment consisting of the chamber 1, feeding component 2, conveying component 3, screening component 4, and stirring component 5 is a multi-functional device capable of completing processes such as flower feeding, flower cultivation, vibration, flower screening, flower delivery, scenting, and flower tea separation. By setting up this multi-functional device, the overall structural layout of the scenting equipment can be greatly simplified, reducing the footprint. At the same time, the chamber 1, in conjunction with the air conditioning unit 10, can effectively control the temperature and humidity within the chamber 1, providing a suitable environment for flower cultivation and achieving better fragrance release; and providing a suitable environment for scenting, improving the scenting effect, and also facilitating better fragrance absorption and transformation, ensuring that the waste of fresh flowers is reduced while minimizing fragrance loss.
