Existing tea drying devices have problems such as poor drying uniformity and low drying efficiency that need to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a high-efficiency tea drying device to improve the drying efficiency and ensure gentle and uniform evaporation of moisture in the tea.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A high-efficiency tea drying device comprises three drying boxes arranged in sequence from left to right, the drying boxes comprising a first drying box, a second drying box and a third drying box; a plurality of fans are arranged on the upper part of the drying boxes; a fixed shaft is arranged on the lower part of the drying boxes, and a heating wire is wound on the fixed shaft; a first roller frame is arranged in the middle of the drying boxes, and a first roller is arranged on the first roller frame; a first transition conveying mechanism is arranged between the first drying box and the second drying box; a second transition conveying mechanism is arranged between the second drying box and the third drying box; a drying box inlet and a drying box outlet are arranged at both ends of the drying boxes.

[0006] Furthermore, a heat-insulating layer is provided on the inner wall of the drying box to reduce heat loss.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a first conveying platform located at the front end of the first drying box and a second conveying platform located at the rear end of the third drying box.

[0008] Furthermore, the first conveying platform and the second conveying platform are both belt conveyors.

[0009] Furthermore, the first transition conveying mechanism includes a first support, a second roller and a second roller frame; the second transition conveying mechanism includes a second support, a third roller and a third roller frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the heating wire includes a first heating wire arranged in the first drying box, a second heating wire arranged in the second drying box and a third heating wire arranged in the third drying box, the heating temperature of the first heating wire is 25°C, the heating temperature of the second heating wire is 28°C, and the heating temperature of the third heating wire is 35°C.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a tray for holding tea leaves; ventilation holes are arranged at the bottom of the tray, and handles are arranged at both ends of the tray.

[0012] Furthermore, there are four fans, which are evenly arranged above the interior of the drying box.

[0013] Furthermore, the inlet and outlet of the drying box are both provided with sealing doors for closing the drying box during the tea drying process.

[0014] Furthermore, the tray is made of stainless steel.

[0015] The tea drying device of the utility model has the following technical effects:

[0016] This drying device has high drying efficiency. The first drying box is a low-temperature drying box. In the initial stage of drying, the temperature is controlled below 25°C. This stage is mainly to promote the proper activity of enzymes in the tea leaves and help the formation of the color and aroma of the tea leaves. The second drying box is a medium-temperature drying box. The temperature is controlled at 28°C to make the tea leaves further lose water and form a unique flavor. The third drying box is a high-temperature drying box. The temperature is controlled at 35°C to ensure that the tea leaves reach an appropriate degree of dryness and prevent mildew. At the same time, the shape and aroma of the tea leaves are fixed. By setting drying boxes with different temperatures, continuous production of the entire drying process of the tea leaves can be achieved, effectively avoiding repeated temperature adjustments in the drying boxes and reducing drying efficiency. A fan is provided on the top of the drying box to keep the heat in the drying box evenly distributed, which helps to evenly disperse the moisture and avoid local overdrying or overwetting.
