Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tea withering, in particular to a tea withering and drying device for aged Tieguanyin tea. Background Art

[0002] Tieguanyin contains high levels of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, tea polyphenols and alkaloids, and has a variety of nutritional and medicinal ingredients, and has the function of health care. After picking, Tieguanyin needs to go through cooling, making green, killing green and winnowing. Killing green is to destroy and passivate the oxidase activity in the fresh leaves through high temperature, inhibit the enzymatic oxidation of tea polyphenols in the fresh leaves, evaporate part of the moisture in the fresh leaves, soften the tea leaves, and facilitate rolling and shaping. At the same time, it emits a green smell and promotes the formation of a good aroma.

[0003] For example, the Chinese authorized patent "A Tea Withering Device" with announcement number CN215958116U includes a withering box mixing mechanism and a heating component. The mixing mechanism is arranged in the withering box, including a plurality of stirring parts for stirring tea leaves; the heating component is arranged in the withering box for heating tea leaves. Through the heating of the heating part, the stirring part continuously stirs the tea leaves in the withering box, thereby achieving the effect of withering the tea leaves, solving the problem of uneven heating of the tea leaves and low stirring efficiency caused by the traditional manual withering of tea leaves.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned prior art can be used for Tieguanyin processing to achieve its withering treatment, the tea leaves cannot be fully dispersed by stirring, so that the internal oxidase cannot be discharged to the outside with the steam, resulting in poor withering effect of Tieguanyin. Therefore, it does not meet the existing needs. In this regard, we propose a withering and drying device for aged Tieguanyin. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a device for drying aged Tieguanyin tea leaves, so as to solve the problem that the drying device for drying aged Tieguanyin tea leaves proposed in the above-mentioned background technology cannot fully disperse the tea leaves during the drying process.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a drying device for aged Tieguanyin tea, comprising a base, a heating ball is fixedly arranged on the upper end surface of the base, and the lower end of the heating ball is embedded in the interior of the base, an upper cover is installed above the heating ball, and the upper cover is hinged to the heating ball; and further comprising:

[0007] A fixing seat, which is arranged at the center of the heating ball, the inner side of the fixing seat is integrally formed with a clamping seat, and both sides of the clamping seat are inclined structures;

[0008] The tea leaf tossing mechanism is arranged below between the fixed seats, a mounting seat is arranged at the upper end of the tea leaf tossing mechanism, a clamping plate is arranged below the mounting seat, and the clamping plate and the mounting seat are connected by a rotating shaft, a tea leaf cover is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the inner side of the clamping plate, and a cavity is arranged inside the tea leaf cover.

[0009] Preferably, a first fixing rod is fixedly provided on one side of the interior of the heating ball, and one end of the first fixing rod is fixed to one of the fixing seats, a second fixing rod is provided on the other side of the interior of the heating ball, and one end of the second fixing rod is fixed to another of the fixing seats, a driving motor is fixedly installed on the outside of the heating ball, a rotating shaft is installed on the output shaft of the driving motor, and the rotating shaft passes through the second fixing rod and is fixed to the mounting seat.

[0010] Preferably, an arc-shaped sleeve is fixedly provided on the inner side of one of the splints, and an arc-shaped movable block is fixedly provided on the inner side of the other splint, one end of the arc-shaped movable block slides and extends into the interior of the arc-shaped sleeve, and a support spring is fixedly provided between the arc-shaped sleeve and the arc-shaped movable block.

[0011] Preferably, an electric heating device is installed at the lower part of the base, and the bottom of the heating ball is a metal structure.

[0012] Preferably, an exhaust pipe connected to the inner cavity of the heating ball is installed at the upper end of the upper cover.

[0013] Preferably, when the tea leaf tossing mechanism moves upward by ninety degrees from the bottom of the heating ball, the tea leaf cover remains in a closed state.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] 1. The utility model realizes the withering of Tieguanyin by simulating the structure of artificial tea throwing. By turning on the driving motor, its output shaft drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and then drives the two mounting seats equipped with clamps to rotate. The arc-shaped movable block and the arc-shaped sleeve are kept at the maximum length by the support spring, so that the clamps are kept in an open state. After the clamps rotate to the bottom of the heating ball, the upper end of the clamps contacts the clamp seat inside the fixed seat, and the inclined surface forms a guide for the clamps, so that the two clamps are brought together. In the process of bringing together, the tea cover can move the inside of the heating ball. The tea leaves are wrapped in the cavity. As the splint continues to rotate, when it approaches the top of the heating ball, the upper end of the splint is removed from the clamp seat. At this time, the splint is quickly opened and reset due to the elastic action of the supporting spring. At this time, the tea cover is opened, and the tea leaves form a parabola due to the rotational force, and the tea leaves are quickly dispersed from the air, causing the internal oxidase to quickly dissipate along with the water vapor generated by the high temperature, and this cycle is repeated in turn to form withering and drying. This structure can effectively simulate manual withering and ensure the stability of the withering process. At the same time, during the withering and drying process, the tea leaves remain fully dispersed under the premise of uniform heating.

[0016] 2. The utility model adopts a spherical structure for the withering mechanism, and the hinged cooperation between the heating ball and the upper cover makes it easy to take and put the tea leaves, so that convenience can be guaranteed. At the same time, in the spherical environment, the tea leaves thrown up by the tea throwing mechanism during heating can move along the ball wall toward the bottom of the ball after dispersion, so that they can be thrown up in turn in a cyclic manner, and no local accumulation will occur.

[0026] When in use, open the upper cover 3, put the Tieguanyin tea into the heating ball 2, close the upper cover 3, turn on the electric heating device 6, and after the set temperature is reached inside the heating ball 2, turn on the drive motor 4 to rotate the tea tossing mechanism 11. During the process, the tea leaves are clamped and tossed upwards to ensure uniform heating of the tea leaves. In order to ensure the innovative elements of this application, existing technologies such as temperature control will not be described in detail.

[0027] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 A first fixing rod 7 is fixedly provided on one side of the interior of the heating ball 2, and one end of the first fixing rod 7 is fixed to one of the fixing seats 10. A second fixing rod 8 is provided on the other side of the interior of the heating ball 2, and one end of the second fixing rod 8 is fixed to another of the fixing seats 10. A driving motor 4 is fixedly installed on the outside of the heating ball 2. A rotating shaft 9 is installed on the output shaft of the driving motor 4, and the rotating shaft 9 passes through the second fixing rod 8 and is fixed to the mounting seat 14, so that the rotation of the tea throwing mechanism 11 can be realized.

[0028] See also Figure 4An arc-shaped sleeve 15 is fixedly provided on the inner side of one of the splints 13, and an arc-shaped movable block 16 is fixedly provided on the inner side of the other splint 13. One end of the arc-shaped movable block 16 slides and extends into the interior of the arc-shaped sleeve 15. A support spring 17 is fixedly provided between the arc-shaped sleeve 15 and the arc-shaped movable block 16. Although the rotation point of the upper end of the splint 13 is not at the same center of a circle, the gap between the arc-shaped sleeve 15 and the arc-shaped movable block 16, and the gap between the connection between the mounting seat 14 and the splint 13 can meet the arc-shaped motion trajectory of the two splints 13.

[0029] See also Figure 2 An electric heating device 6 is installed at the bottom of the base 1. The bottom of the heating ball 2 is a metal structure, which provides heat to achieve the withering and drying of the tea leaves inside the heating ball 2.
