Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of agricultural and sideline product processing, in particular to a material turning device for scenting scented tea. Background Art
[0002] In the prior art, with the improvement of people's living standards and the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, scented tea, as a beverage that combines the health properties of tea and the unique aroma of flowers, is becoming more and more popular among consumers. The traditional scenting method of scented tea mainly includes selecting high-quality tea leaves and fresh flowers, and through the steps of spreading, mixing, closed scenting, separation and drying, the tea leaves absorb the fragrance of flowers to form scented tea with a specific aroma.
[0003] Although the traditional scented tea scenting method can produce scented tea with unique aroma, this method has some obvious limitations. For example, during the scenting process, in order to ensure that the tea leaves can be turned evenly, raised structures are usually set at intervals in the scenting cylinder. However, in the actual scenting work of scented tea, due to the different scenting process stages and the changes in the weight of the raw materials in the cylinder, the rotation speed of the cylinder needs to be adjusted accordingly. Especially when the rotation speed is fast, the weight of the tea leaves is relatively light, which will cause the tea leaves to be subjected to greater centrifugal force during the turning process. This excessive centrifugal force makes it easy for the tea leaves to accumulate at the junction of the inner wall of the cylinder and the raised structure, thereby affecting the uniform turning of the tea leaves, and then affecting the scenting effect. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0025] Example 1.
[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the material turning device for scented tea preparation described in this embodiment includes:
[0027] The outer cylinder 10 is arranged horizontally and is provided with a driving mechanism 30 to realize rotation;
[0028] The inner cylinder 20 is disposed in the outer cylinder 10 and is configured to rotate synchronously with the outer cylinder 10. The outer circumference of the inner cylinder 20 is uniformly distributed with air holes 21 communicating with the outer cylinder 10.
[0029] A plurality of turning plates 40 extend along the length direction of the inner cylinder 20 and are arranged at equal intervals along the inner circumference of the inner cylinder 20;
[0030] An air inlet pipe 50, one end of which is connected to the inner cylinder 20, and is used to transport an external air source to the inner cylinder 20;
[0031] The air circulation mechanism 60 is provided on the outer cylinder 10 and is used to guide the gas entering the outer cylinder 10 through the air vent 21 to the air inlet pipe 50;
[0032] The material turning plate 40 has a material guiding arc surface 41 whose opening direction is opposite to the rotation direction of the inner cylinder 20 , and there is a smooth transition between the material guiding arc surface 41 and the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder 20 .
[0033] In specific implementation, Figure 1 As shown, the driving mechanism 30 is first started, driving the outer cylinder 10 and the inner cylinder 20 to rotate synchronously. This synchronous rotation mechanism ensures the uniform mixing of tea leaves and flowers during the scenting process. Subsequently, the external air source is transported to the inner cylinder 20 through the air inlet pipe 50, promoting the release of the flower fragrance and fully mixing with the tea leaves. At this time, the air holes 21 evenly distributed on the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 20 play a role, allowing the gas adsorbed with the flower fragrance to flow from the inner cylinder 20 to the outer cylinder 10. Then, under the action of the air circulation mechanism 60, the air containing the flower fragrance entering the outer cylinder 10 through the air holes 21 is redirected into the air inlet pipe 50 to form a gas circulation. This circulation process effectively improves the efficiency of tea leaves absorbing the flower fragrance and reduces the consumption of fresh flowers.
[0034] Specifically, if Figure 2-4 As shown, during the rotation of the inner cylinder 20, the turning plate 40 therein can drive the tea leaves and flowers to turn continuously, so that the lifted raw materials (tea leaves and flowers) fall down by their own weight when reaching the commanding height of the inner cylinder 20 and return to the bottom of the inner cylinder 20. This process is repeated continuously, and the tea leaves and flowers are effectively mixed.
[0035] During this cyclic turning process, even if the rotation speed of the inner cylinder 20 is high, the raw materials may accumulate between the turning plate 40 and the inner wall of the inner cylinder 20 under the action of centrifugal force. However, the guide arc surface 41 of the turning plate 40 is uniquely designed, and the opening direction of the arc surface is opposite to the rotation direction of the inner cylinder 20. This design allows the raw materials to move toward the center (axis) of the inner cylinder 20 under the guidance of the guide arc surface 41, effectively avoiding the accumulation of raw materials caused by centrifugal force. This structural design ensures that the tea and flowers are turned evenly throughout the entire scenting process, while also avoiding the possibility of uneven scenting effect caused by the accumulation of raw materials.
[0036] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to evenly distribute the gas, the air inlet pipe 50 is coaxially arranged with the inner cylinder 20, and one end of the air inlet pipe 50 extends along the length direction of the inner cylinder 20, and the outer peripheral surface of the air inlet pipe 50 extending to the inner cylinder 20 is evenly distributed with gas outlet holes 51. With this structural design, the air inlet pipe 50 is coaxially arranged with the inner cylinder 20 and extends into the inner cylinder 20, ensuring that the gas is evenly distributed from the center to the outside, so that the gas can directly act on the tea leaves and flowers, avoiding the problem of too much or too little gas in local areas.
[0037] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the air intake pipe 50 is configured to rotate synchronously with the outer cylinder 10, and a plurality of arc-shaped turning strips 52 are equidistantly provided on the outer peripheral surface of the air intake pipe 50, the arc-shaped turning strips 52 extend along the length direction of the air intake pipe 50, and the direction of the arc-shaped opening formed by the arc-shaped turning strips 52 is consistent with the rotation direction of the air intake pipe 50.
[0038] When implementing it, Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of arc-shaped turning strips 52 rotate with the rotation of the air inlet pipe 50. Since the direction of the arc-shaped opening formed by the arc-shaped turning strips 52 is consistent with the rotation direction of the air inlet pipe 50, the raw materials lifted by the turning plate 40 can be caught by the arc-shaped turning strips 52 in cooperation with the outer wall of the air inlet pipe 50 after reaching the commanding height of the inner cylinder 20 and falling down. As the air inlet pipe 50 rotates, the raw materials received by the arc-shaped turning strips 52 are thrown out under the action of centrifugal force, thereby further improving the turning effect, that is, the synergistic effect of the arc-shaped turning strips 52 and the turning plate 40 allows tea leaves and flowers to be more fully contacted and mixed during the scenting process, thereby improving the aroma absorption efficiency of the scented tea and the quality of the final product.
[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, in order to simply and effectively reuse the flower fragrance, the air circulation mechanism 60 includes a circulation air pipe 61 and a mixing chamber 62. One end of the circulation air pipe 61 is connected to the outer cylinder 10, and the other end is connected to the mixing chamber 62. The mixing chamber 62 is connected between the external air source and the air inlet pipe 50. The gas circulated in the circulation air pipe 61 contains the aroma components released by tea leaves and flowers. After mixing with the fresh air provided by the air source in the mixing chamber 62, it enters the inner cylinder 20 again, which helps the tea leaves to absorb the flower fragrance more fully.
[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, in order to simply and effectively drive the rotation of the inner and outer cylinders, the driving mechanism 30 includes a frame 31, two swivel supports 32, a driving motor 33 and a belt transmission mechanism 34. The mixing chamber 62 is provided at one end of the outer cylinder 10 and is rotatably provided on the frame 31 through a swivel support 32. The end of the outer cylinder 10 away from the mixing chamber 62 is fixedly connected with a driving shaft 35 fixedly connected to the inner cylinder 20. The driving shaft 35 is rotatably provided on the frame 31 through another swivel support 32. The driving motor 33 is transmission-connected to the driving shaft 35 through a belt transmission mechanism 34. In this way, the mixing chamber 62 is fixed as a whole with the inner and outer cylinders, and the two slewing supports 32 are used to support the mixing chamber 62 and the drive shaft 35 respectively, which allows them to rotate freely on the frame 31. When working, the drive motor 33 is used as a power source to transmit power to the drive shaft 35 through the belt transmission mechanism 34. The drive shaft 35 drives the inner cylinder 20 and the outer cylinder 10 to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing uniform mixing and turning of tea leaves and flowers in the inner cylinder 20.
[0041] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the mixing chamber 62 is a hollow cylindrical structure coaxially arranged with the outer cylinder 10, and a rotating joint 70 is provided at one end of the mixing chamber 62 away from the outer cylinder 10. This design allows the mixing chamber 62 to remain sealed during rotation, reducing gas leakage.
[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, in order to improve the rotation stability of the outer cylinder 10, a guide ring 80 is fixedly installed on the outer circumference of the outer cylinder 10, and a support wheel group 81 matching the guide ring 80 is provided on the frame 31. The use of the guide ring 80 and the support wheel group 81 can, on the one hand, form support for the outer cylinder 10, and on the other hand, help ensure that the rotation of the outer cylinder 10 is smoother and more uniform, and can also withstand the load of repeated use and long-term operation, thereby enhancing the durability of the entire device.
[0043] The material turning device for scented tea provided in this embodiment, through the structural design of the turning plate and the inner cylinder, effectively improves the uniform mixing and turning of tea leaves and flowers during the scenting process, reduces the accumulation of tea leaves on the inner wall of the cylinder, thereby improving the scenting effect and the quality of the scented tea. At the same time, the design of the air circulation mechanism enables the floral fragrance to be recycled during the scenting process, reduces the consumption of fresh flowers, improves production efficiency, and reduces raw material costs and labor costs as a whole.
