Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tea processing equipment, and in particular to a cooling device for tea processing. Background Art

[0002] Tea originated in China and was first used as a sacrificial offering.

[0003] The tea making process includes steps such as withering, rolling, fermentation and drying. Some steps need to be carried out in a high temperature environment, such as withering, while some steps need to be carried out in a room temperature environment. Therefore, during the tea making process, it is often necessary to cool the tea leaves quickly to speed up the efficiency of tea processing.

[0004] Existing tea cooling devices often use fans for cooling during use, and the fans accelerate the air flow speed on the surface of the tea leaves, thereby accelerating the cooling speed of the tea leaves. However, since the existing cooling devices supply air to the tea leaves from the same angle, the front and back of the tea leaves are cooled unevenly. Only the side facing the fan can be cooled quickly, while the side facing away from the fan cools slowly, resulting in low cooling efficiency for the tea leaves. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a cooling device for tea processing to address the problem that the existing cooling device sends air to the tea leaves from the same angle, resulting in uneven cooling of the tea leaves. Only the surface facing the fan can be cooled quickly, while the surface facing away from the fan is cooled more slowly, resulting in low cooling efficiency for the tea leaves.

[0006] The present application provides a cooling device for tea processing, comprising:

[0007] A cooling box, wherein the interior of the cooling box is hollow and is surrounded by a top plate, a bottom plate and four side plates;

[0008] A cooling assembly, the cooling assembly is arranged inside the cooling box, the cooling assembly includes multiple cooling plates and a fan, the multiple cooling plates are arranged parallel to each other inside the cooling box, and the cooling plates are fixedly connected to the side plates of the cooling box, the cooling plates are provided with multiple through holes, the fan is fixedly connected to the top plate of the cooling box, and the air outlet is opened on the bottom plate of the cooling box;

[0009] A pushing assembly is arranged inside the cooling box, and the pushing assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder, a push rod and a push plate. The hydraulic cylinder is arranged inside the cooling box, one end of the push rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder, the other end of the push rod is fixedly connected to the cooling plate, and the push plate is slidably connected to the cooling box.

[0010] The present application relates to a cooling device for tea processing, in which tea leaves are placed on a cooling plate and then a fan is operated to accelerate the air flow rate in the cooling box, thereby accelerating the cooling rate of the tea leaves. Since the cooling plate is provided with a plurality of through holes, air can flow through the through holes and finally be discharged to the outside through an air outlet. When the fan is operating, a hydraulic cylinder drives a push rod to move up and down, thereby driving the cooling plate to move up and down, thereby shaking the tea leaves on the cooling plate, so that a gap is generated between the tea leaves and the cooling plate, thereby increasing the contact area between the surface of the tea leaves facing away from the fan and the air, so as to balance the cooling rates of the surface of the tea leaves facing the fan and the surface facing away from the fan, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the tea leaves.

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0023] The present application provides a cooling device for tea processing.

[0024] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the cooling device for tea processing includes a cooling box 100 , a cooling component 200 and a pushing component 300 .

[0025] The interior of the cooling box 100 is hollow and is surrounded by a top plate 100a, a bottom plate 100b, and four side plates 100c. The cooling assembly 200 is disposed inside the cooling box 100 and includes a plurality of cooling plates 201 and a fan 203. The plurality of cooling plates 201 are disposed parallel to each other inside the cooling box 100 and are fixedly connected to the side plates of the cooling box 100. The cooling plates 201 are provided with a plurality of through holes 202. The fan 203 is fixedly connected to the top plate 100a of the cooling box 100. The air outlet 204 is provided on the bottom plate 100b of the cooling box 100. The pushing assembly 300 is arranged inside the cooling box 100, and the pushing assembly 300 includes a hydraulic cylinder 301, a push rod 302 and a push plate 303. The hydraulic cylinder 301 is arranged inside the cooling box 100, one end of the push rod 302 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 301, and the other end of the push rod 302 is fixedly connected to the cooling plate 201, and the push plate 303 is slidably connected to the cooling box 100.

[0026] Specifically, the cooling box 100 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure with a hollow interior. A plurality of fixing plates 104 may be provided in the cooling box 100 to divide the cooling box 100 into a plurality of independent spaces, and the hydraulic cylinder 301 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixing plate 104 .

[0027] In this embodiment, tea leaves are placed on the cooling plate 201, and then the fan 203 is operated to accelerate the air flow rate in the cooling box 100, thereby accelerating the cooling rate of the tea leaves. Since the cooling plate 201 is provided with a plurality of through holes 202, air can flow through the through holes 202 and finally be discharged to the outside through the air outlet 204. When the fan 203 is working, the hydraulic cylinder 301 drives the push rod 302 to move up and down, thereby driving the cooling plate 201 to move up and down, thereby shaking the tea leaves on the cooling plate 201, so that a gap is generated between the tea leaves and the cooling plate 201, thereby increasing the contact area between the surface of the tea leaves facing away from the fan 203 and the air, so as to balance the cooling rates of the surface of the tea leaves facing the fan 203 and the surface facing away from the fan 203, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the tea leaves.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a plurality of hydraulic cylinders 301 are provided, and each hydraulic cylinder 301 is fixedly connected to a cooling plate 201 via a push rod 302 .

[0029] Specifically, the models of the multiple hydraulic cylinders 301 are the same, so that when the hydraulic cylinders 301 drive the cooling plates 201 to vibrate, the vibration amplitudes are the same, thereby allowing the multiple cooling plates 201 to always remain parallel and ensuring that the forces applied to the cooling plates 201 remain consistent.

[0030] In this embodiment, the hydraulic cylinder 301 drives the push rod 302 to move, thereby driving the cooling plate 201 to move. The hydraulic cylinder 301 continuously drives the push rod 302 to move up and down, thereby causing the cooling plate 201 to vibrate and shake the tea leaves on the cooling plate 201.

[0031] Since the wind from the fan 203 is blown from the top to the bottom of the cooling box 100, the tea leaves will not be scattered during the shaking process.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a plurality of fans 203 are provided, and the plurality of fans 203 are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the top surface of the cooling box 100 , and the center of the fan 203 and the center of the air outlet 204 are on the same plumb line.

[0033] Specifically, the top plate is provided with a fan slot, and the fan 203 is fixedly connected in the fan slot.

[0034] Optionally, there may be more than one air outlet 204 . If there are more than one air outlet 204 , the air outlet 204 should be arranged perpendicular to the fan 203 .

[0035] A filter is fixedly connected to each air outlet 204 to prevent dust from entering the cooling box 100 .

[0036] The number of the fan 203 may be only one, as long as the power of the fan 203 can meet the requirements. Providing a single fan can reduce costs.

[0037] In this embodiment, air is blown into the cooling box 100 by multiple fans 203 to accelerate the air flow speed in the cooling box 100, so that the tea leaves on the cooling plate 201 are quickly cooled, thereby achieving the effect of accelerating the cooling of the tea leaves.

[0038] Since the hydraulic cylinder 301 continuously drives the cooling plate 201 to move up and down, the tea leaves on the cooling plate 201 will shake. The shaking of the tea leaves will create a gap between the tea leaves and the cooling plate 201, thereby increasing the area of ​​the tea leaves that are in contact with the air on the side facing away from the fan 203, thereby balancing the cooling speed of the two sides of the tea leaves and avoiding different cooling speeds on the two sides of the tea leaves.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, storage grooves 205 are provided on the top and bottom surfaces of the cooling plate 201 , and blocking pieces 206 are slidably connected in the storage grooves 205 .

[0040] In this embodiment, the storage tank 205 and the baffle 206 therein prevent the tea leaves on the cooling plate 201 from falling off the cooling plate 201 when the cooling plate 201 is shaken.

[0041] Since the height of the blocking piece 206 is higher than the height of the top surface of the cooling plate 201 , the tea leaves will be blocked by the blocking piece 206 when shaking, thereby preventing the tea leaves from falling from the cooling plate 201 .

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a plurality of storage grooves 205 are respectively provided on the top and bottom surfaces of the cooling plate in two side areas symmetrical about the central axis of the cooling plate, and the depth of the storage grooves 205 is greater than the height of the baffle 206.

[0043] Specifically, the blocking piece 206 is connected to the storage slot 205 via a spring, so that the blocking piece 206 can be received in the storage slot 205 and can pop out.

[0044] In this embodiment, since the depth of the storage slot 205 is greater than the height of the blocking piece 206 , when the push plate 303 is working, the blocking piece 206 can be stored in the storage slot 205 so that the blocking piece 206 does not interfere with the operation of the push plate 303 .

[0045] When the push plate 303 is not working, the blocking piece 206 will be at a position higher than the top surface of the cooling plate 201, thereby preventing the tea leaves from falling from the cooling plate 201.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the cooling device for tea processing further includes a water pipe 101 , which is arranged around the cooling box 100 and is arranged in a U-shaped pattern in the cooling box 100 .

[0047] Specifically, the water pipe 101 is connected to an external water source and has flowing water inside.

[0048] The water pipe 101 is disposed on the inner wall of the cooling box 100 to increase the contact area between the water pipe and the air in the cooling box 100 .

[0049] In this embodiment, flowing water is introduced into the water pipe, so that the water pipe helps to lower the ambient temperature in the cooling box 100, thereby lowering the temperature of the air in the cooling box 100, making the temperature of the air lower when in contact with the surface of the tea leaves, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the tea leaves.

[0050] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, one end of the push rod 302 is fixedly connected to a connecting buckle 304, and a connecting groove 305 is provided on the bottom surface of the cooling plate 201. The connecting buckle 304 is engaged with the connecting groove 305 to achieve a fixed connection between the push rod 302 and the cooling plate 201.

[0051] In this embodiment, the connecting buckle 304 is engaged with the connecting groove 305 to achieve a fixed connection between the push rod 302 and the cooling plate 201, so that the hydraulic cylinder 301 can drive the cooling plate 201 to move up and down, and the tea leaves will swing up and down with the movement of the cooling plate 201, so that the surface of the tea leaves facing the fan 203 will not be against the cooling plate 201 for a long time, so as to increase the contact area between the surface of the tea leaves facing the fan 203 and the air, and then balance the cooling speed of the surface of the tea leaves facing the fan 203 and the surface of the tea leaves facing away from the fan 203, so that the tea leaves are cooled evenly.

[0052] Furthermore, since the cooling plate 201 and the push rod 302 are snap-connected, the cooling plate 201 and the push rod 302 can be separated by separating the connecting buckle 304 from the connecting groove 305 .

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a plurality of cooling plates 201 are arranged at equal intervals inside the cooling box 100 , and a plurality of through holes 202 are arranged at equal intervals on the top surface of the cooling plates 201 .

[0054] In this embodiment, tea leaves to be cooled can be placed on multiple cooling plates 201, thereby increasing the amount of tea leaves cooled simultaneously, thereby increasing the amount of tea leaves cooled per unit time, and further improving the cooling efficiency of the tea leaves.

[0055] Since each cooling plate 201 is provided with a plurality of through holes 202 , the air blown by the fan 203 can continuously move downward through the through holes 202 , thereby ensuring the air flow in the cooling box 100 .

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a side panel 100c of the cooling box 100 is provided with a plurality of sliding windows 102, and a plurality of push plates 303 are provided. Each push plate 303 slides freely within a sliding window 102, so that each push plate 303 extends into the sliding window 102 corresponding to the push plate 303 and covers the top surface of a cooling plate 201. When the push plates 303 cover the cooling plate 201, a gap is provided between the push plates 303 and the cooling plate 201, and this gap is used for placing tea leaves.

[0057] Specifically, the number of the sliding windows 102 is consistent with the number of the cooling plates 201 , so that each cooling plate 201 corresponds to at least one push plate 303 .

[0058] In this embodiment, when the tea leaves are placed on the cooling plate 201 or after being shaken, the tea leaves may gather together. If the tea leaves are not spread out, the cooling of the tea leaves will be uneven, resulting in a decrease in cooling efficiency.

[0059] Therefore, by pushing the push plate 303 to spread out the gathered tea leaves, the push plate 303 can be slid along the sliding window 102 so that the bottom surface of the push plate 303 contacts the top surface of the cooling plate 201, thereby pushing the tea leaves and finally evenly distributing the tea leaves on the surface of the cooling plate 201.

[0060] Since there is a distance between the bottom surface of the push plate 303 and the top surface of the cooling plate 201, there is a certain gap between the push plate 303 and the cooling plate 201. Therefore, the tea leaves that are gathered together and higher than the gap between the push plate 303 and the cooling plate 201 will be pushed away, while the tea leaves below the gap will pile up together, so that the push plate 303 can disperse the gathered tea leaves.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a side panel 100c of the cooling box 100 is provided with a plurality of openings 103, and each cooling plate 201 extends into the interior of the cooling box 100 through an opening 103. The side panel 100c provided with the plurality of sliding windows 102 and the side panel 100c provided with the plurality of openings 103 are perpendicular to each other.

[0062] Specifically, the side plate 100 c where the opening 103 is located is perpendicular to the side plate 100 c where the sliding window 102 is located, so as to avoid interference between the opening 103 and the sliding window 102 .

[0063] In this embodiment, after the cooling plate 201 is separated from the push rod 302, the cooling plate 201 can be taken out of the cooling box 100 through the opening 103, and then the tea leaves are evenly placed on the surface of the cooling plate 201, and then the cooling plate 201 is placed into the cooling box 100 through the opening 103 and fixedly connected to the push rod 302.

[0064] The various technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily, and the execution order of the method steps is not restricted. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the various technical features in the above-described embodiments are described.
