Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of tea roasting machines, and in particular relates to an intelligent charcoal roasting machine. Background Art
[0002] Tea leaves need to be dried in time after picking to preserve their aroma. Since manual frying is inefficient, slow, time-consuming and labor-intensive, many factories use intelligent drying processes. Intelligent controllers monitor the temperature and state of the tea leaves during drying to achieve large-scale drying of the tea leaves. This is also one of the current mainstream tea processing methods.
[0003] Factories usually adopt a static drying method, placing the tea leaves on multiple mesh plates and centrally placing them in an oven for constant temperature drying. Although this method can achieve the drying effect, the positions of the heating elements and mesh plates of the drying equipment are fixed, which makes it difficult for the tea leaves to be heated evenly. Therefore, the tea leaves close to the heating elements may meet the drying standards, while the tea leaves far away from the heating elements still have too much moisture, which greatly reduces the quality of the tea leaves.
[0004] In order to solve this problem, some circulating tea roasting machines have been proposed in the prior art. However, the circulating tea roasting machines in the prior art usually connect a number of trays for placing tea leaves by rotating on the outer circumference of a rigid circular ring, and drive the circular ring to rotate to drive the trays to perform reciprocating motion. However, since the circular ring is rigid, the trays can only move along the outer circumference of the circular ring. When more trays need to be added, the circular ring can only be replaced with a larger one to accommodate more trays, which makes the occupied area larger and is inconvenient to change the movement direction of the trays. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions, an intelligent charcoal cultivation machine, characterized in that it includes:
[0006] A sprocket assembly, the sprocket assembly comprising two sprockets and a bracket chain ring mounted on the two sprockets;
[0007] A fixed rod, which is a rod-shaped structure, one end of which is fixed to the bracket chain link and the other end of which is a cantilever structure;
[0008] A tea tray rack, which has an area for placing tea leaves;
[0009] A driving assembly, which is used to drive the sprocket assembly;
[0010] A heating component is used for baking the tea tray rack.
[0011] The tea tray rack is rotatably fixed on the cantilever structure of the fixed rod, and the driving component drives the tea tray rack to cyclically move through the sprocket component, and the tea tray rack periodically approaches the heating component.
[0012] Furthermore, the sprocket assembly includes a first sprocket assembly and a second sprocket assembly, and the tea tray rack is rotatably arranged between the first sprocket assembly and the second sprocket assembly via a fixing rod.
[0013] Furthermore, the two sprockets of the sprocket assembly are arranged up and down, the heating assembly includes a charcoal furnace, and the charcoal furnace is located below the sprocket assembly.
[0014] Furthermore, the heating component is an electric heating unit.
[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a box body, and the sprocket assembly, fixing rod, tea tray rack, and heating assembly are all located in the box body.
[0016] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes:
[0017] A driving motor, wherein the output shaft of the driving motor is drivingly connected to any sprocket of the sprocket assembly.
[0018] Furthermore, it also includes:
[0019] An oxygen supply valve, the oxygen supply valve is fixedly arranged on the box body, and the air outlet of the oxygen supply valve is located inside the box body;
[0020] Furthermore, it also includes:
[0021] An exhaust valve is fixedly arranged on the box body, and an air inlet of the exhaust valve is located inside the box body.
[0022] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0023] 1. In the prior art, the tea roasting machine is usually connected by rotating a plurality of trays for placing tea leaves on the outer circumference of a rigid circular ring, and the circular ring is driven to rotate to drive the trays to perform a cyclic reciprocating motion. However, since the circular ring is rigid, the trays can only move along the outer circumference of the circular ring. When more trays need to be added, a larger circular ring can only be replaced to accommodate more trays, which makes the floor space larger and inconvenient to change the movement direction of the trays. Different from the prior art, the utility model adopts the cooperation of the sprocket and the bracket chain ring. The profile of the bracket chain ring is a ring with two sprockets supporting both ends. The shape of the ring can be adjusted by the position of the two sprockets. Compared with the circular ring in the prior art, when a larger circular ring is replaced, the length and width can only be enlarged in equal proportion. When a tea tray rack needs to be added to the bracket chain ring, it is only necessary to replace the bracket chain ring with a larger circumference and adjust the height difference between the two sprockets to tighten the bracket chain ring, so that the width of the bracket chain ring is only the width of the sprocket, and the floor space is smaller.

Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values, and it should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in the subsequent drawings.
[0030] Prior art tea roasting machine
[0031] The present embodiment proposes a tea roasting machine in the prior art, which generally includes a machine body, a heating unit arranged in the machine body, a plurality of tea trays that periodically reciprocate toward the heating unit, and a driving unit for driving the tea trays to perform periodic cyclic motions. Tea leaves are stacked in the tea tray, and then the driving unit drives the tea tray to periodically reciprocate toward the heating unit, thereby achieving an effect of uniform heating of the tea tray, thereby drying the tea leaves in the tea tray.
[0032] Body
[0033] like Figure 1 The tea roasting machine comprises a box 1, in which a bracket 5 is fixedly arranged. The structure of the box 1 is described in detail below, and the characteristic part of the utility model is described at the same time. In addition, for the convenience of description below, the structural elements and direction of the bracket 5 are determined in the state of being loaded in the box 1.
[0034] The machine body includes a box body 1 and a bracket 5 fixedly arranged in the box body 1, a sprocket assembly is arranged on the bracket 5, a heating assembly is arranged below the bracket 5, and a driving assembly is fixedly arranged on the upper end of the box body 1. The driving assembly drives the tea tray rack 4 to circulate in the box body 1 through the sprocket assembly, and the tea tray rack 4 periodically approaches the heating assembly.
[0035] Rollers are fixedly provided at the lower end of the box body 1 to facilitate the movement of the box body 1.
[0036] Sprocket assembly
[0037] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the sprocket assembly includes two sprockets 8 fixedly rotatably arranged on a bracket 5 and a bracket chain ring 2 installed on the two sprockets 8. A fixing rod 3 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the chain link of the bracket chain ring 2. One end of the fixing rod 3 is fixed on the bracket chain ring 2, and the other end of the fixing rod 3 is a cantilever structure. The tea tray rack 4 is rotatably fixed on the cantilever structure of the fixing rod 3. At the same time, the chain drive has high transmission efficiency, strong load bearing capacity, and a long service life. The profile of the bracket chain ring 2 is a ring with two sprockets 8 supported at both ends. The shape of the ring can be adjusted by the positions of the two sprockets 8. The shape of the bracket chain ring 2 shown in the accompanying drawings is similar to a playground runway type. With this shape, the width of the bracket chain ring 2 is only equal to the width of the sprocket 8. While accommodating more tea tray racks 4, it is also possible to ensure that when replacing a bracket chain ring 2 with a larger circumference, only by adjusting the height difference between the two sprockets 8, the supported bracket chain ring 2 is increased in overall height and the width remains unchanged, so that the occupied area is smaller.
[0038] At the same time, the sprocket assembly is divided into a first sprocket assembly and a second sprocket assembly. The first sprocket assembly and the second sprocket assembly are correspondingly and spaced apart. The two pairs of sprockets 8 correspondingly arranged in the first sprocket assembly and the second sprocket assembly are respectively fixedly connected by the first transmission shaft 6 and the second transmission shaft 7, so as to synchronize the transmission ratio between the first sprocket assembly and the second sprocket assembly through the fixed connection between the first transmission shaft 6 and the second transmission shaft 7. The tea tray rack 4 is rotatably arranged between the first sprocket assembly and the second sprocket assembly through the fixing rod 3.
[0039] The fixing rods 3 of the first sprocket assembly and the second sprocket assembly are arranged correspondingly, and each two corresponding fixing rods 3 form a pair. Both sides of the tea tray frame 4 are rotatably connected to a pair of fixing rods 3, so that the bearing capacity is better.
[0040] Drive components
[0041] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the driving assembly includes a driving motor 10 fixedly arranged on the box body 1, and the output shaft of the driving motor 10 is fixedly provided with a transmission wheel 9, one end of the first transmission shaft 6 extends out of the outside of the bracket 5, and the end of the first transmission shaft 6 located on the outside of the bracket 5 is also fixedly provided with a transmission wheel 9, and the two transmission wheels 9 are connected by a transmission chain.
[0042] When it is necessary to drive the bracket chain ring 2 to rotate, the drive motor 10 can be started, and the drive motor 10 drives the transmission wheel 9 on its output shaft to rotate, thereby driving the first transmission shaft 6 to rotate through the transmission chain, and the first transmission shaft 6 can drive the first sprocket assembly and one of the sprockets 8 of the second sprocket assembly to rotate, thereby driving the other sprocket 8 of the first sprocket assembly and the second sprocket assembly and the second transmission shaft 7 to rotate through the bracket chain ring 2, thereby driving the bracket chain ring 2 of the first sprocket assembly and the second sprocket assembly to rotate.
[0043] Heating components, oxygen supply valve and exhaust valve
[0044] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the heating component includes a charcoal stove 11 fixedly arranged in the box body 1, and charcoal fire is burning in the charcoal stove 11. The charcoal stove 11 is located below the bracket 5. When the bracket chain ring 2 rotates and drives the tea tray rack 4 to perform a circular motion on the bracket 5 through the fixed rod 3, the tea tray rack 4 will periodically approach the charcoal stove 11. As the bracket chain ring 2 moves, the tea tray rack 4 constantly approaches the heat source in turn and circulates back and forth, so that each tea tray rack 4 is heated evenly.
[0045] At the same time, the charcoal stove 11 can be an intelligent charcoal stove 11, which can conveniently monitor the temperature of the charcoal fire through a temperature sensor, and then feed back these data to the control system. The control system will calculate the charcoal fire intensity and time that need to be adjusted based on these data and the set target temperature value, and achieve temperature control by controlling the ignition, extinguishing and heating of the charcoal fire. The intelligent charcoal stove 11 automatically adjusts the charcoal fire temperature through an electronic control system, which improves the efficiency and stability of the charcoal stove 11 and greatly reduces the probability of errors during the baking process.
[0046] like Figure 1As shown, when the heating component is a charcoal stove 11, the oxygen supply valve 12 and the exhaust valve 13 are fixedly arranged on the outside of the box body 1, the exhaust valve 13 is located at the upper end of the box body 1, the air outlet of the oxygen supply valve 12 is located inside the box body 1, and the air inlet of the exhaust valve 13 is located inside the box body 1. The oxygen supply valve 12 is connected to the external oxygen supply system through a pipeline, so that during the drying process, it is convenient to replenish the oxygen in the box body 1 through the oxygen supply valve 12 at any time to maintain a suitable oxygen content and facilitate the combustion of the charcoal fire. By setting the exhaust valve 13, the humidity in the box body 1 is prevented from being too high, and the exhaust valve 13 facilitates the discharge of moisture and heat to achieve the purpose of drying, so that the tea leaves in the tea tray can be dried.
[0047] Moreover, the heating component can also be an electric heating unit, which can be set at any position in the box 1 to dissipate heat to heat the tea tray rack 4 and the tea tray, and the temperature of the electric heating unit is controlled by PLC.
[0048] Tea tray rack
[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, a placement groove 14 is opened on the front side of the tea tray rack 4 for placing the tea tray. When the tea tray needs to be placed, the tea tray with tea leaves can be placed into the tea tray rack 4 from the front side of the tea tray rack 4, so that the tea tray with tea leaves enters the tea tray placement area of the tea tray rack 4.
[0050] A heating groove 15 is provided at the lower end of the tea tray rack 4. When the tea tray rack 4 moves above the heat source, the heat emitted by the heat source can be better transferred to the tea tray in the tea tray rack 4 through the heating groove 15. The heating groove 15 contains a number of criss-crossing support ribs 17 fixedly connected to the tea tray rack 4. The support ribs 17 divide the heating groove 15 into a number of heating areas, so that after the tea tray is placed in the tea tray rack 4, it will be located on the support ribs 17. The support ribs 17 make the support and bearing effect of the tea tray better and will not affect the effect of the heating groove 15.
[0051] The tea tray rack 4 is provided with a protrusion structure 16, and the cantilever end of the fixing rod 3 is rotatably connected to the protrusion structure 16 of the tea tray rack 4, so that the tea tray rack 4 is located as a whole below the fixing rod 3, and the entire weight of the tea tray rack 4 is loaded on the fixing rod 3 through the protrusion, so that the gravitational potential energy of the tea tray rack 4 can keep the tea tray rack 4 below the fixing rod 3, and when the bracket chain ring 2 moves and drives the fixing rod 3 to swing along the trajectory of the bracket chain ring 2, the tea tray rack 4 is always in a flat state due to its own weight, and the lower part of the tea tray rack 4 contains a counterweight block, which makes the tea tray rack 4 as a whole more stable and not easy to swing.
[0052] A plurality of limit plates 18 are fixedly provided on the upper end of the tea tray rack 4, and a tea tray placement area is formed between the limit plates 18. After the tea tray is placed in the tea tray rack 4, it will be located between the limit plates 18. The limit plates 18 limit the position of the tea tray to prevent the tea tray from detaching from the tea tray rack 4.
[0053] The tea tray stand 4 is made of stainless steel, which is not easy to rust in the high temperature and high humidity environment of the box body 1 and is easy to clean.
[0054] Steps for drying tea leaves
[0055] 1. Put the tea tray with tea leaves in the tea tray rack 4, and the box 1 is in a closed state when in use;
[0056] 2. Start the drive motor 10, which drives the sprockets 8 of the first sprocket assembly and the second sprocket assembly to rotate through chain transmission, thereby driving the two bracket chain rings 2 to rotate synchronously. When the bracket chain ring 2 rotates, each chain link of the bracket chain ring 2 can move along the trajectory of the bracket chain ring 2;
[0057] 3. When the chain links of the bracket chain ring 2 move along the trajectory of the bracket chain ring 2, the fixed rods 3 on the outer sides of the chain links can be driven to move, and thus the pair of fixed rods 3 of the two bracket chain rings 2 can be driven to move;
[0058] 4. When the chain links of the two bracket chain links 2 drive each pair of fixed rods 3 to move along the track of the bracket chain links 2, the tea tray rack 4 between each pair of fixed rods 3 can be driven to move;
[0059] 5. When the tea tray rack 4 moves to the vicinity of the heating component, the heating component can heat the currently corresponding tea tray rack 4, thereby heating the tea tray in the tea tray rack 4, and thus drying the tea leaves. As the chain links move, each tea tray rack 4 continuously approaches the heat source of the heating component in turn and circulates back and forth, so that the tea trays in each tea tray rack 4 are heated evenly.
[0060] Methods of adding more tea tray racks and changing the moving trajectory of the tea tray racks
[0061] When more tea tray racks 4 need to be added and the floor space needs to be avoided to increase, the height difference of the two sprocket wheels 8 of the sprocket assembly is adjusted to make the upper and lower spacing of the two sprocket wheels 8 larger. At the same time, a bracket chain ring 2 with a longer circumference is used to be installed on the two sprocket wheels 8. The outline of the bracket chain ring 2 forms a ring with two ends supported by the two sprocket wheels 8. The shape of the ring can be adjusted by the positions of the two sprocket wheels 8. The shape of the bracket chain ring 2 shown in the accompanying drawings is similar to a playground track. With this shape, the width of the bracket chain ring 2 is only equal to the width of the sprocket wheel 8. While accommodating more tea tray racks 4, it is also possible to ensure that when replacing a bracket chain ring 2 with a larger circumference, only the height difference of the two sprocket wheels 8 is adjusted, so that the supported bracket chain ring 2 increases in overall height and remains unchanged in width, thereby making the floor space smaller.
[0062] The shape of the bracket chain ring 2 can be changed by simply adjusting the distance or relative position of the two sprocket wheels 8 , and the tea tray rack 4 moves along the contour of the bracket chain ring 2 , so that the tea tray rack 4 has different movement trajectories.
[0063] Tea tray replacement
[0064] The tea tray rack 4 is rotatably connected to the cantilever end of the fixed rod 3 and is rotatably connected through a pin. The cantilever end of the fixed rod 3 is independent of the bracket chain ring 2, so that when the tea tray rack 4 needs to be disassembled and replaced, it is only necessary to remove the pin to remove the tea tray rack 4 from the cantilever end of the fixed rod 3 and replace it, without the need to disassemble the entire bracket chain ring 2, making the disassembly of the tea tray rack 4 more convenient.
[0065] Intelligent control system
[0066] The intelligent control system includes an infrared generator fixedly arranged in a box body, and the infrared generator releases heat through thermal radiation. An intelligent controller is fixedly arranged on the outside of the box body, and a charcoal fire heat regulating device is arranged on the charcoal stove. The infrared generator, the charcoal fire heat regulating device, the drive motor, the exhaust valve and the oxygen supply valve are all electrically connected to the intelligent controller.
[0067] The intelligent controller is controlled by a microcomputer and has a human-computer interaction interface. Multiple temperature sensors are set in the box to achieve the effect of collecting temperature at multiple points. The charcoal fire heat regulating device is adjusted according to the collected temperature to achieve the effect of precise temperature control.
[0068] At the same time, the driving motor is a micro reduction motor. According to the parameters of the sensor, the driving motor is controlled by an intelligent controller to adjust the speed so that the tea tray rack maintains a suitable moving speed.
[0069] Different heating modes can be switched according to needs, including infrared electric heating / charcoal heating / infrared and charcoal mixed heating, which makes the use effect better.
[0070] The intelligent controller can run the formula data in multiple stages. It can determine the temperature, oxygen content, carbon heat, infrared heat, exhaust valve opening degree and other parameters of the carbon or electric cultivation at different stages or time periods through the pre-set formula, making the overall operation more worry-free and eliminating the need for manual monitoring.
[0071] The intelligent controller has a system abnormality alarm function, which can issue an audible and visual alarm when the parameter deviates from the set value by a certain percentage or the parameter is abnormal, to remind the operator of abnormal accidents.
[0072] The intelligent controller is fixed with a Wifi module or Bluetooth module for remote transmission connection with mobile phones and control APP. The operating status of the equipment, various parameters and fault reminders of the equipment can be viewed in the mobile phone APP, so that the operator can monitor the machine in real time even when he is not next to the machine or is away from the machine for a distance.
[0073] The embodiments of the present application are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the specification of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present application is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of the present application, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the purpose of the present application and the scope of protection of the claims, all of which are within the protection of the present application.
