Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tea making equipment, in particular to a tea withering rack. Background Art

[0002] Tea originated in China and is a unique drink in my country. It is one of the three major beverages in the world. In the tea production process, withering is the first step. Withering refers to the process of evenly spreading fresh tea leaves under certain temperature, humidity and ventilation conditions to dehydrate them. Withering can promote the activity of fresh leaf enzymes to drive the oxidation of various components and emit aromatic substances.

[0003] The withering racks in the prior art have complex structures and are mostly set up as an integral whole. They also require a large space for storage when idle, which also creates certain pressure on enterprises.

[0004] During withering, the tea leaves need to be evenly spread on a drying tray, and then the drying tray is placed on the withering rack. Generally speaking, in order to reduce costs, the size of the drying tray is set to be relatively large. For example, in the prior art CN103444913A, the length of the drying device is 1-1.5m; some drying trays can even reach 2-3m in length. In addition, in order to reduce the weight of the withering rack, the drying tray generally uses flexible materials such as gauze. When withering, the large-sized flexible drying tray will sink in the middle under the action of gravity, causing the tea leaves to slide to the middle of the drying tray and then accumulate. The accumulated tea leaves increase the mass of the middle of the drying tray, making the sinking more serious, thus falling into a vicious circle, and ultimately resulting in uneven distribution of tea leaves on the drying tray, affecting the quality of the finished product.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a withering rack that can reduce the occupied space when idle and prevent the middle part of the drying tray from sinking. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to provide a tea withering rack in view of the above shortcomings. The withering rack is detachable and a supporting component is provided on the drying tray to prevent the middle part from sinking.

[0007] The purpose of the utility model is achieved in this way:

[0008] A tea withering rack comprises a first vertical rod and a second vertical rod, wherein the first vertical rod and the second vertical rod are connected by a first cross bar arranged at the top and a second cross bar arranged at the bottom;

[0009] A plurality of first support rods are arranged horizontally along the intervals between the first vertical rods, the first support rods include two groups, and the two groups of the first support rods are symmetrical about the plane where the first vertical rod and the second vertical rod are located;

[0010] A plurality of horizontal second supporting rods are arranged along the intervals between the second vertical rods, and any of the first supporting rods corresponds to a second supporting rod with the same height and on the same side, and the first supporting rod is parallel to the corresponding second supporting rod.

[0011] In certain embodiments, a horizontal plane projection of the first support rod is perpendicular to a horizontal plane projection of the first cross bar.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first vertical rod and the second vertical rod are movably connected to the first cross rod and the second cross rod respectively.

[0013] In some embodiments, a drying tray is further included, and the drying tray is movably connected above the first supporting rod and the second supporting rod corresponding thereto.

[0014] In some embodiments, a third vertical pole is further included, and a supporting component for supporting the middle part of the drying tray is arranged at intervals on the third vertical pole.

[0015] In certain embodiments, the drying tray has a length of 2.2-2.6 m and a width of 0.6-1 m.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0017] The withering rack of the utility model has a simple structure, and all parts are movably connected. When the withering rack is not in use, it can be disassembled and stored, which can greatly reduce the occupied space and reduce the pressure on the enterprise; secondly, drying trays can be placed on both sides of the withering rack of the utility model, which improves the space utilization rate of the withering rack; finally, a third vertical pole is provided, and a supporting component for supporting the drying tray is provided on the third vertical pole, which can effectively prevent the middle part of the drying tray from sinking, so that the tea leaves can always be evenly spread out to dry, thereby ensuring the quality of withering.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a tea withering rack, comprising a first vertical rod 1 and a second vertical rod 2, wherein the first vertical rod 1 and the second vertical rod 2 are connected by a first cross bar 3 arranged at the top and a second cross bar 4 arranged at the bottom;

[0025] A plurality of first supporting rods 5 are arranged horizontally at intervals along the first vertical rod 1. The first supporting rods 5 include two groups, and the two groups of the first supporting rods 5 are symmetrical about the plane where the first vertical rod 1 and the second vertical rod 2 are located;

[0026] A plurality of first support rods 6 are horizontally arranged at intervals along the second upright rod 2 , and any of the first support rods 5 corresponds to a second support rod 6 of the same height and on the same side, and the first support rod 5 is parallel to the corresponding second support rod 6 .

[0027] The tea withering rack of this embodiment has a simple structure and uses less material than a general withering rack. A first supporting rod 5 and a second supporting rod 6 corresponding to each other are arranged on both sides of the withering rack, so that drying trays can be placed on both sides, which effectively improves the space utilization rate of the withering rack.

[0028] In some preferred embodiments, the horizontal plane projection of the first supporting rod 5 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane projection of the first cross bar 3, so that when the drying tray with the tea leaves spread out is placed on the withering rack, the center position of the drying tray is in the middle of the withering rack, which is beneficial to the overall force stability of the withering rack.

[0029] In some preferred embodiments, the first vertical pole 1 and the second vertical pole 2 are movably connected to the first cross bar 3 and the second cross bar 4 respectively, and the first supporting rod 5 and the second supporting rod 6 are also movably connected to the first vertical pole 1 and the second vertical pole 2 respectively.

[0030] The movable connection makes it easy to disassemble the withering rack when it is idle. The area occupied by the withering rack after disassembly is significantly reduced, and a large number of withering rack parts can be stored in a smaller space, reducing pressure on the enterprise.

The utility model does not limit the specific movable connection method, and it can be one of the clamp connection, bolt connection or slot connection well known to those skilled in the art. The bolt connection is preferably used in this embodiment. When the withering is completed, the drying tray 7 can be removed and stacked together.

[0033] In some preferred embodiments, a third upright pole 8 is further included, and a supporting component 9 for supporting the middle part of the drying tray is arranged at intervals on the third upright pole 8.

[0034] The supporting member 9 can effectively prevent the middle part of the drying tray 7 from sinking, so that the drying tray 7 can be kept as horizontal as possible, and the tea leaves can always be evenly spread out to dry, thereby ensuring the quality of withering.

[0035] The present invention also does not limit the specific type of the supporting component 9, which can be any one of a slot, a support plate, a hook, and a pull rope known to those skilled in the art. The present embodiment preferably uses a slot. During implementation, the middle part of the drying tray 7 is connected to the slot 9 provided on the third vertical pole 8.
